Chapter 265: The Name Tai Xuan Reappears in Teyvat—Zhongli Is Shocked (5/7, Request Subscription)

"Next, I will tell you the story of a god."

"It is said that this god is the primordial creator of heaven and earth, master of time and space, manipulator of yin and yang—a being of immense divine power."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately cried out: "That sounds so powerful—who exactly is this god? Could it be our Lord the Geo Archon?"

Zhongli was speechless.

When did I ever become this awesome?

"Not the Geo Archon. This is a god unfamiliar to all of you—his sacred title is Hunyuan Wuji Tai Xuan Daojun!" Tian Tiezui spoke fluently, continuing smoothly, "It is said that one day, the Archon of Inazuma, Raiden, grieved deeply over the death of her elder sister five hundred years ago, overcome with sorrow…"

The story was simple, but after being embellished by Baizhong Shenzi, it became utterly melodramatic.

She portrayed Raiden and Zhang Taixuan as a pair of star-crossed lovers, with Raiden herself depicted as far more adorable—constantly crying, throwing tantrums, and rolling on the ground before a fox.

On the day the book was published, Baizhong Shenzi was beaten by Raiden.

But since the tale was still entertaining, it spread anyway, and eventually the matter was simply let drop.

"Tai Xuan!" Zhongli froze in place upon hearing it.

He was far from unfamiliar with these seven characters!

Five hundred years ago, during the Kanria War, he had witnessed that hand appear and extinguish the chaos.

And Lei Shen herself vanished in that very battle.

"So this being went to save Baal?" Zhongli was stunned. "Crossing five hundred years of time—that means what I saw back then was merely a hand reaching out from five hundred years in the future. If this is true, then this matter demands serious reconsideration."

"Just how terrifying must this being's power be?"

At this moment, the information of countless demon gods flashed through his mind.

Zhongli finally concluded that even with himself included, not a single god on the entire continent of Teyvat could match the strength of this being's single hand.

"As long as it's not an enemy, that's fine. But if the chance arises, I truly should visit Inazuma and meet this Tai Xuan Daojun."

"When you arrive in Inazuma, pay your respects at the temple of the Tai Xuan Daojun. The people of Inazuma have now elevated this Daojun to a status equal to that of the Archon." Tian Tiezui smiled. "Moreover, it is said this god came from another world and brought many precious artifacts from that realm. I'm sure you'll all make a fortune on this trip."

"Artifacts from another world?"

"Tian Tiezui, if this is true, I'll reward you handsomely when I return."

As soon as he spoke, the man rose at once.

The other merchants could no longer sit still.

With this news spreading, they naturally had to go investigate.

If this truth proved genuine, a new trade route would open.

Making money—no time to waste!

High above, in the Jin Bihuihuang Qunyu Pavilion, a beautiful woman sat.

Her hair was white-gold, her bearing noble, every movement exquisitely graceful, drawing all eyes.

Yet there were no men here—only three other women of equally striking beauty, none fortunate enough to behold such a captivating sight.

She was Ningguang, the Heavenly Authority of Liyue, mistress of the Qunyu Pavilion, a woman famed across all of Liyue.

"Baiwen, have you confirmed the details about Inazuma?" Ningguang asked calmly.

"The opening of Inazuma is confirmed, and the Vision Hunt Decree has been lifted."

"The goods are indeed peculiar and astonishing, but there is no solid evidence regarding the god from another world."

"However, one person did spread a rumor—whether true or not, no one knows—that the Kami once strolled with a man of peerless beauty, her expression gentle. It sounds implausible."

Ningguang fell silent upon hearing this.

A moment passed.

"Arrange a meeting with Beidou for me. I must speak with her in detail about this. The matter of Inazuma cannot be taken lightly."

Meanwhile.
