Chapter 534

~7 min read 1,252 words

The World Will did not care about the life or death of Liyue; even if Liyue was gone, as long as the tribulation transcendence was successful and it could evolve, it did not care.

But Seeing Zhongli was not the World Will.

"Since that is the case, why didn't you look for me?"

Jiang Yan looked at the World Will with a smile.

The light cluster flickered for a moment, but did not answer.

This was...

Looking for Ganyu almost got it crushed; if it looked for Jiang Yan, it was estimated that before it could even speak, it would have been slapped to death.

How could it dare?

Besides, Jiang Yan's background was not something that a mere Teyvat could be attached to.

"Forget it, since you happen to be here, just restore Jueyun Karst while you're at it."

"Okay."

There was no movement from it, but the Jueyun Karst that had just been destroyed seemed to have time flowing backward, and every blade of grass and tree was restored to its original posture.

If there was any difference...

Fierce beasts at the early stage of Qi Refining and Essence Transformation were born!

That powerful aura made everyone still on the Jade Chamber frown slightly.

"Sure enough, fierce beasts at the Qi Refining and Essence Transformation level have already appeared."

Lady Ningguang said with some emotion.

"This is the inevitability of world evolution. When spiritual energy recovery spreads to the whole world, Teyvat will evolve into a Small Thousand World."

"Miss Ganyu can also become a true Heavenly Dao Covenantor."

The World Will replied to Lady Ningguang's worry like a rigid machine.

"According to the current progress, in three months, spiritual energy recovery will cover all of Teyvat."

"At that time, it will be the day of Teyvat's promotion."

Hearing this, Jean frowned slightly and said with some worry:

"Three months, isn't that too fast? Many countries are not prepared... and the expansion of martial arts is not yet complete."

"This is the inevitability of world evolution."

The World Will remained like a cold machine.

Lady Ningguang and the others were speechless, looking at the flickering light cluster in front of them.

At this time, they truly understood what it meant by "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs."

To the World Will, humans, gods, animals, plants, mountains, and rivers

were all unimportant.

Only the world itself was the most important thing.

As long as it could evolve, it was willing to pay any price.

Humans were never special to the World Will, and the world never cared about the survival of humans.

The Tsaritsa looked at the World Will in a trance, and after a moment, still spoke:

"So, the Heavenly Principles fabricating lies and burning the Human Order was instigated by you?"

"Yes, before the Sect Master descended, Teyvat was on the verge of withering. In order to maintain the world, I bestowed the throne and required the burning of the Human Order to maintain the world."

The World Will did not hide anything, and the Tsaritsa clenched her fists, looking at the World Will with complex emotions.

After a long while, she said again:

"So, the lies of the Heavenly Principles were also approved by you?"

"No, my only requirement for the throne was to maintain the survival of the world, not the life and death of humans. The life and death of all spirits have nothing to do with the world. The throne itself prioritized humans, and thus fabricated lies."

The Tsaritsa understood.

But at this time, she could only lower her head in decadence and disappointment.

The enemy she had always identified was not the culprit who imprisoned humans.

Instead, it was the role that protected humans.

If it followed the World Will's requirements, the Heavenly Principles should have burned humans and civilization to protect the world's survival.

To the world, civilization was important, but at that time Teyvat was almost unable to live, so what was the use of civilization?

For development, one had to survive first, right?

Looking at it this way, the Tsaritsa suddenly felt somewhat desolate; everything seemed to be her own wishful thinking...

"... Your Majesty..."

Signora looked at the Tsaritsa with heartache, and the latter waved her hand, not saying anything more.

"Fatui, disband as soon as possible..."

This sentence seemed to have put a full stop to the Tsaritsa's years of struggle.

Everything she did was just to move herself; the world never cared.

The world did not care about human life or death, and the world did not care about the continuation of civilization.

The world's first priority was survival, and the second principle was development.

For these two points, the World Will could even abandon everything.

But could this be the World Will's fault?

This was the requirement of the world's impartial principle.

"Alright, there is no need to think about unnecessary things."

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Jiang Yan said lightly:

"The Rite of Descension is over, and Ganyu has also successfully transcended the tribulation to become Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."

"Now, she is even about to become a Heavenly Dao Covenantor."

"Now, it is time to celebrate for Ganyu, and it is also your last bit of leisure time for a while."

"The Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference is about to be held; celebrate today, and tomorrow you will have to return to cultivation."

"Peak Master Zhongli, you should also prepare to go to the Demon-Locking Tower."

Hearing this, Seeing Zhongli immediately became spirited.

He had finally waited for this day.

Next...

the life journey of this identity of Seeing Zhongli was about to officially begin!

"Sect Master, since everything is fine, why don't I go and notify the people first? The situation just now must have frightened many people."

"Besides, it will take some time for the Jade Chamber to return to the location of Liyue Harbor."

"Sect Master might as well notify Lumine as well, so she doesn't overthink."

Lady Ningguang stood up and said, and Jiang Yan nodded slightly, closing his eyes to send a message to Lumine.

Lady Ningguang also turned and left, while controlling the Jade Chamber to return, thinking about how to explain it to the people.

On the other side, even though the vision in the sky had disappeared, Lumine was still somewhat worried.

But not long after, Jiang Yan's voice transmission arrived, and Lumine and Paimon breathed a sigh of relief, returning to their carefree, optimistic selves.

Smiling and waving her hands, she said:

"It's fine, it's fine, everyone go back."

Ayaka, who was following along, breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice:

"Lumine, did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal."

Lumine smiled, then said casually:

"It's just that the World Will went to find the Sect Master just now, angered the Sect Master, and almost made the Sect Master slap Teyvat to pieces."

"... Just???"

319. Scaramouche: The Tsaritsa won't let me cultivate?

Lumine did not explain in too much detail why Jiang Yan was angry for no reason just now.

After all, Lumine herself did not understand what Jiang Yan said about the World Will, Heavenly Dao Covenantor, and so on.

As long as she knew it was fine, that was enough.

Fortunately, Ayaka and the others did not intend to get to the bottom of it; seeing that Lumine was vague and unwilling to say more, they stopped asking. ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
