Chapter 466

Whether the Heavenly Principles are the Heavenly Principles or not is unimportant; if it is merely the ability to purify the Abyss, if Mu Yang does not act as these Heavenly Principles, who else would?

Furthermore, if Mu Yang had not already become the Heavenly Principles, once they knew he possessed the ability to confront the Abyss, they would have tried every possible means to ensure he had ties and emotions toward this world so that he would have a sense of belonging. Becoming the Heavenly Principles of this world seems to be the most suitable path.

Take Ying, for example. Venti clearly knew the information about Kong, yet he did not tell Ying directly. Instead, he let her travel, partly to allow her to unlock more elements and improve her strength.

On the other hand, it was also to let Ying develop bonds with the Teyvat continent.

Without any bonds to Teyvat, Venti, that guy, would never dare to hope that Ying would risk her life for this world.

Only when the bonds are sufficient, the friends are enough, and the things witnessed are plenty, will Ying be able to act according to the path they have planned.

Hmm, in Mu Yang's view, if he hadn't come, Ying would very likely have become the new Heavenly Principles in the future.

After all, in the end, she might have gained the unanimous approval of the Seven Archons; even the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles might have stood on the protagonist's side...

Moreover, Ying also possesses a certain resistance to Abyssal power.

Of course, this was only the initial plan. Now that Mu Yang has become the Heavenly Principles of Teyvat, who would approve, and who would oppose?

Not to mention that Mu Yang's own strength is already greater than Ying's, and this is just the beginning.

The number of demon gods standing behind Mu Yang is also increasing, and many of them are at the level of the Seven Archons!

Barbatos, Morax, Beelzebub, Baal, Lei Dianying, Nahida, and the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata—these current or former Seven Archons, as long as they are given time, can all recover or grow to the level of the Seven Archons.

Coupled with Asmoday, Azhdaha, and Kitsune Saiguu, these guys are also extremely formidable existences. Because of Mu Yang, they no longer need to worry about the dangers of erosion or the corruption from the Abyss.

It can be said that these guys are still very powerful.

Add to that the humans who have cultivated Mu Yang's immortal techniques, and this force of theirs is already invincible on the Teyvat continent.

The mere Fatui are no longer even in their eyes. Even without mobilizing combat power at the level of the Seven Archons, dealing with the Fatui does not seem like a particularly difficult task.

Regarding the situation in Liyue, Venti believes that once Mu Yang's Golden Core Stage manual is released, those Adepti will reach the demon god level in a short time.

Thinking of this, Venti felt a wave of envy, but it was a pity that they in Mondstadt did not have so many powerhouses.

Fortunately, their situation is still better than Sumeru's.

After all, Sumeru is truly a mess!

Although one shouldn't gloat and knows it is wrong, sometimes one just likes to build their own happiness upon the suffering of others.

However, they all believe that it is only a matter of time before Sumeru gets on the right track.

"You all have chosen Mu Yang!" La Signora frowned upon hearing this.

Actually, there is one thing La Signora has always been curious about: it seems the Cryo Archon and the other gods are maintaining a kind of tacit understanding.

Their Fatui are causing trouble in every nation, but looking back now, if they snatched the Gnosis, wouldn't the other gods join forces to retaliate against Snezhnaya?

If it were only one or two nations, Snezhnaya and the Fatui would naturally have nothing to fear.

Especially with a nation like Sumeru; even if three or four came, the Fatui could easily suppress them.

But if Liyue were to take the lead, then Snezhnaya would inevitably fall into a crisis.

It wouldn't even need Liyue to lead. Given the current situation, the Fatui have offended Sumeru and Inazuma to the death. If they were to deal with the Fatui, the Raiden Shogun would inevitably not stand idly by. If she were to lead the charge and call over that Lesser Lord Kusanali from Sumeru, the two sides combined would absolutely make Snezhnaya suffer.

La Signora had previously speculated that the Seven Archons had already reached some kind of cooperation with the Tsaritsa, maintaining a tacit understanding between the two sides.

But now, four gods have chosen Mu Yang.

If her own Tsaritsa could also support Mu Yang, then Mu Yang would gain the approval of five gods.

Thinking of this possibility, La Signora's heart surged.

Her Tsaritsa's goal is to kill the Heavenly Principles and fight for opportunities for the humans of Teyvat!

The Heavenly Principles restrict human development; they cannot study the Ley Lines, nor are they allowed to explore new unknowns, which greatly limits human progress.

Sooner or later, humans might become life forms that the Heavenly Principles do not allow to exist. Perhaps if the Heavenly Principles do not exterminate humans, they will exterminate all human civilization.

Only by eliminating the Heavenly Principles can humans have a future.

La Signora firmly believes in the Cryo Archon's philosophy, especially after seeing a lot of data; she believes the Cryo Archon is a god with noble ideals.

As for who becomes the new Heavenly Principles, the Cryo Archon does not care at all. From the beginning, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for all of humanity.

But now, connecting this to Venti's words, La Signora thought of many things.

If it were really possible to cooperate with Mu Yang.

However, could there be a problem with her speculation?

This made La Signora hesitate. If there was nothing wrong with the Cryo Archon and everything was just her misunderstanding, wouldn't she become a traitor?

But she also has evidence that Pierro and the others are cooperating with the Abyss.

"Rosalyne, this is all I can tell you." After thinking for a moment, Venti continued: "I hope you can seize the opportunity. I also do not wish to become an enemy of the Cryo Archon in the future.

At least for now, this force of ours is absolutely not something the Cryo Archon and Snezhnaya can contend with.

And Mu Yang's most excellent ability has never been his strength."

Does the most excellent ability refer to picking up girls?

Thinking carefully, Mu Yang's skill at picking up girls is indeed very powerful. Even Lei Dianying is willing to follow him. If one day Mu Yang were to pursue the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and make her defect, wouldn't dealing with the Heavenly Principles be much easier?

Thinking of this, La Signora's eyes flickered slightly. However, seeing Venti's serious expression, she still asked: "Is the Tsaritsa really imprisoned by Pierro and the others?"

After a pause, she added: "I hope you can tell me this for Rosalyne's sake."

"Rosalyne?" Venti looked at La Signora with a complex expression. "Regarding this, I cannot be certain, but I did indeed tell her before that the current Fatui are not to be trusted!

And some of the so-called truths we know are very likely fake.

I suspect she might have been discovered while investigating some truths and was then placed under house arrest. After all, by splitting her own power, her own strength would also be affected.

Her state might not be much different from mine."

The Lady heard this and revealed a thoughtful expression; the reason she was able to stay alive now was that the Cryo Archon had used her own authority to help her control the flames of the Crimson Witch of Embers.

If it weren't for the Tsaritsa, she could not possibly be alive, but this was not without cost for the Tsaritsa.

The other Harbingers also seem to have benefits in this regard; they are all considered the Tsaritsa's retainers.

Now it seems the Tsaritsa also paid a huge price.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Tsaritsa has been sleeping all along.

And those guys who betrayed the Tsaritsa—La Signora stated she could absolutely never forgive them.

"I understand, thank you." La Signora took a deep breath and said sincerely.

At this moment, she decided to find Mu Yang for help after returning to Liyue.

She wants to take Mu Yang back to Snezhnaya.

After all, Mu Yang has already obtained four Gnoses; the Gnosis of the Cryo Archon is also something Mu Yang must face.

He will find the Tsaritsa sooner or later.

If the Tsaritsa is fine, then she will try her best to keep Mu Yang there.

At that time, the Tsaritsa and the other Fatui joining forces might be able to get those four Gnoses.

If something happened to the Tsaritsa, Mu Yang cooperating with the Cryo Archon could also solve Pierro and the others.

Then, all problems will no longer be problems.

For some reason, La Signora even hoped that the Tsaritsa was truly imprisoned at this moment.

If that were the case, they wouldn't need to be enemies with Mu Yang, and she wouldn't need to be enemies with Mondstadt.

However, with the Tsaritsa's breadth of mind, if Mu Yang could really confront the Heavenly Principles, she shouldn't mind handing the Gnosis to Mu Yang and placing a bet on him, right?

Since Barbatos and the others have approved of Mu Yang, perhaps he really has the ability to make the Cryo Archon approve as well.

Everyone working together is better than struggling alone, right?

"You're welcome!" Venti shook his head slightly: "I believe the Cryo Archon will make the right decision, and you will also become our comrade-in-arms sooner or later!"
