"Yes, Mu Yang, I admit our Tsaritsa is very beautiful, but even if you like our Tsaritsa, you can't act recklessly.

If you really like her, why not wait until the Tsaritsa wakes up and pursue her then?

I can introduce you to the Tsaritsa then!" Tartaglia said hurriedly at this moment.

Seeing Tartaglia like this, a look of amusement appeared on Mu Yang's face.

Sometimes, trolling Tartaglia like this was quite interesting.

These words were heard completely by the Tsaritsa; she would surely reward Tartaglia well later, right?

"Introduce me? That doesn't sound bad." Mu Yang chuckled: "So, Cryo Archon, it's about time you woke up, right?"

"What?" The three of them all turned their gazes toward the Tsaritsa in the coffin. Even Columbina's face was full of tension at this moment.

Mu Yang really woke up the Tsaritsa?

"You've seen me at my worst." The Tsaritsa opened her eyes and looked at Mu Yang with a complex expression.

Upon seeing Mu Yang, she immediately discovered his identity.

Mu Yang! The once-famous Descender. Even the Doctor, Dottore, had been thoroughly killed by Mu Yang.

She had originally thought Mu Yang would become a hidden threat to their Fatui, but she hadn't expected the Jester to betray her directly.

And the person who came to save her was Mu Yang!

What troubled the Tsaritsa the most was why Mu Yang was the Heavenly Principles!

This was not Teyvat-like at all!

The aura of the Heavenly Principles flowing from him could not be wrong.

On this point, the Gnosis gave her a very good explanation.

"Actually, it's fine. After all, a similar situation happened with Nahida before, it's just that your situation is a bit more complex." Mu Yang chuckled and said: "So, let's have a proper talk about a deal."

The Tsaritsa frowned and stared at Mu Yang. What kind of deal did this guy want to make with her?

Could it be that he really wanted her to be his woman?

Hmm... being the woman of the Heavenly Principles, to be honest, the Tsaritsa's inner thoughts were quite complex. But was Raiden Ei really that brave?

She didn't know if she was riding on top of the Heavenly Principles...

"Alright!" The Tsaritsa looked at Columbina and the others again: "The three of you, go to the side hall. You are not allowed to eavesdrop on our conversation. Columbina, keep an eye on those two."

Columbina didn't say much upon hearing this; she went directly to Rosalyne and Tartaglia, signaling them to follow her.

Although her title in the Fatui was "Damslette" and the Fourth Seat was the "Knave," Columbina usually appeared by the Tsaritsa's side as her liaison and guardian.

Seeing Columbina's behavior, Rosalyne and Tartaglia, though hesitant, chose to follow.

"Wait, if the Tsaritsa is awake, did she hear what I said earlier?" Tartaglia muttered as he walked.

o(TヘTo) Brother Mu Yang, I treated you as a good friend, as a brother, and you end up trolling me like this?

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

Rosalyne: (눈_눈)~, stupid guy, that I, Rosalyne, have to cooperate with someone like you is truly shameful.

………………………………………………………………

"I didn't expect the Heavenly Principles to have changed." After Rosalyne and the others left, the Tsaritsa looked at Mu Yang with a complex expression and said softly.

"Yeah, I don't even know how I came to this world myself, and I ended up becoming the Heavenly Principles in a daze." Mu Yang spread his hands: "But Phanes has indeed fallen.

After he fell, his power would protect this world for three years. I need to take advantage of this time to grow as quickly as possible."

The Tsaritsa nodded slightly upon hearing this: "What is your view on humanity?"

"Humanity? You probably don't know, but before, I was human." Mu Yang then repeated what he had said to Regarding Regarding Zhongli earlier.

The Tsaritsa fell into deep thought upon hearing this. After a long while, she took out a snow-white Gnosis and handed it to Mu Yang: "I hope you can lead Teyvat toward a better future.

In the name of the Cryo Archon, I recognize you as the Heavenly Principles of this world."

Mu Yang grabbed the Gnosis and said in a gentle tone: "However, the construction of Teyvat still needs your help.

I also greatly admire your willingness to do this much for humanity!

Therefore, I am willing to share my own authority with you."

Mu Yang knew the Tsaritsa might be preparing for her final moments; she had never intended to survive.

To create an opportunity for humanity, the Tsaritsa didn't even care about her own erosion; she was using her own life and the entire Snezhnaya to oppose Phanes.

"You..." Before the Tsaritsa could say anything, a voice appeared in her mind.

【"Ding, welcome the Tsaritsa to the chat group."】

Regarding Regarding Zhongli: 【"As expected, you have joined as well!"】

Seeing Seeing Keqing: 【"Eh? Did Mu Yang go to Snezhnaya?

Even the Tsaritsa has joined?"】

Mu Yang: 【"Yeah, Regarding Regarding Zhongli and Tartaglia called me for a meal earlier, and after eating, I went to Snezhnaya.

The Tsaritsa is quite pitiful, being sealed and even corrupted with the power of the Abyss...

It seems the Jester has always been cooperating with the Abyss Order; these methods are somewhat familiar."】

Venti: 【"Ehe, it really is very similar!

But for us, isn't this a good thing?

Now I have a stable income every day, and I don't need to deliberately absorb the power of the Abyss; I can just purify it into points."】

Asmoday: 【"Indeed, the power of the Abyss has been trying to corrupt me, and I have a lot of points too..."】

The Tsaritsa: 【"I didn't expect you all to be here... I didn't expect that one could absorb and purify the power of the Abyss; this was beyond my expectations.

Is this the reason Mu Yang became the new Heavenly Principles?

It seems I can prepare a new plan.

The Jester and the others are deeply rooted in Snezhnaya; I need to deal with them slowly. There is no guarantee they don't have some hidden trump cards in Snezhnaya."】

Mu Yang: 【"If we act immediately, I can guarantee the instant killing of the Jester."】

It is true that the Jester is very powerful; otherwise, he couldn't have become the Director.

And it looks like the Jester might be at the level of the Seven Archons.

As long as Mu Yang acts, he is confident in defeating the Jester, or after absorbing the Gnosis, killing the Jester instantly is not impossible.

The Tsaritsa: 【"Thank you for the kindness, but I want to take this revenge myself!

Moreover, as it stands now, Snezhnaya will become the main target of the Abyss.

It can also attract more of the Abyss's firepower."】

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: 【"But if this happens, Snezhnaya might be finished!"】

The Tsaritsa: 【"Even you have been resurrected? This is truly a magical place.

However, I prepared for the sacrifice of all of Snezhnaya a long time ago.

Raiden Ei, Nahida, Raiden Shogun, Buer, I am sorry for what the Doctor and Scaramouche did in Inazuma.

Since I was the one who pulled the Jester into the Fatui, I also need to take responsibility and atone for my past actions.

When it comes to the last resort, the entire Snezhnaya can become a battlefield.

I just hope that by then, you can leave some hope for the people of Snezhnaya."】

Raiden Ei: 【"Considering you said that.

However, you are you, and the Fatui are the Fatui. I will still continue to target the Fatui later."】

Nahida: 【"I can accept that, but hesitation leads to disaster. I personally suggest you resolve the Fatui problem as soon as possible."】

The Tsaritsa: 【"I have been subjected to quite a bit of Abyssal corruption, and because my authority was distributed too much, and they also use authority heavily, my erosion is very severe. I need some time to recover.

As for the Fatui, I want to resolve it myself."】

Mu Yang: 【"To be honest, the erosion on the Tsaritsa is definitely the most severe I have ever seen; it can be compared to Azhdaha."】

Azhdaha: 【"Compared to me? That is indeed quite severe."】

The Tsaritsa: 【"So I plan to prepare for a while, while slowly gathering the forces that belong to me! Then I will wage war on the Jester and the others."】

Seeing Seeing Keqing: 【"So Snezhnaya is going to have a civil war?

At this moment, I don't know if I should be happy or sad."】

The Tsaritsa: 【"You can express happiness. I have heard of your words, and I admire you very much; I even once wanted to pull you into the Fatui to become the Harbinger Seeing Seeing Keqing!"】

Seeing Seeing Keqing: 【"Me? Become a Fatui Harbinger?"】

The Tsaritsa: 【"Yes, it's not that there are no people who dare to question the gods, but questioning the Geo Archon at the Rite of Descension has never happened before.

Moreover, I am very optimistic about your so-called concept of human governance."】

Seeing Seeing Keqing: 【"No, no, no, I was too young and ignorant back then.

Human governance is impossible; I am at odds with human governance!

Look at Mondstadt hundreds of years ago, the previous Sumeru and Inazuma, and the current Snezhnaya.

It can be seen that human ambition is endless. I can guarantee that I won't have problems, but I cannot demand that everyone be like me.

Even Does Does Liyue almost had problems once.

The supervision and leadership of the gods are unavoidable..."】

The Tsaritsa: 【"..."】 Even Seeing Seeing Keqing's thinking has changed?

For some reason, the Tsaritsa felt that what Seeing Seeing Keqing said seemed to be true. Was she too confident in humanity?

Do humans really need the gods to guide them forever?】
