Chapter 169

As the camera began to move, one could see humans in groups of three or five, living like savages, like monkeys that had shed their fur, foraging in the wilderness.

Their way of life was extremely primitive, and they looked sallow and emaciated due to long-term malnutrition.

The camera shifted, and one could see a wisp of black mist drifting among the mountains. After discovering the humans, it instantly enveloped them and then left.

After the black mist left, the humans who had been enveloped had already turned into withered bones.

The camera shifted again.

Hideous and terrifying giant beasts were fighting for territory. Their fighting even affected the humans struggling to survive in the mountains. The mountains collapsed, and a large amount of mud buried the humans.

【Keqing】: It's hard to imagine that humans once lived like this. The dense forests were full of poisonous things, and there were evil spirits causing trouble. The aftermath of the fierce beasts fighting could actually leave humans with nowhere to escape.

【Venti】: The ancient times were like this, but fortunately, we all made it through.

【Jean】: I saw in a book that Mondstadt was once a place as pale as bone, snowing all year round, and the cold wind could easily take human lives; thanks to Lord Barbatos blowing away the wind and snow, we have the Mondstadt that is like spring all year round today!

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Dvalin】: Not blowing or blackening, Barbatos really did something a god should do. He's awesome.

【Venti】: Do you understand the great achievements of your Lord Anemo Archon now? (Funny)

【Kaeya】:...

(Funny)

【Dvalin】: Pretend I didn't say anything.

【Keqing】: The more I see how hard it was for humans in ancient times, the more I can understand the greatness of the gods; in that era, if there were no gods, humans would probably have been hard-pressed to survive, and more likely would have disappeared in that era.

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Ningguang】: Gratitude to the Geo Archon and all the adepti!

【Hu Tao】: (Hu Tao: Thank you, boss)

【Azhdaha】: I'm on the cover, this achievement must have a share of mine, but why am I sealed here? (Contemplating)

【Furina】: I know!

You know what?!

【Furina】: Is there a possibility that in ancient times, Morax and Azhdaha were powerful, but they started fighting each other for power, and in the end, Azhdaha lost a move and was sealed underground, and from then on Liyue entered the era of Morax's supremacy! (Funny)

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Azhdaha】: Reasonable! No wonder I couldn't figure out why Morax wanted to seal me. So he was indeed blinded by the poison of power? This despicable and shameless villain not only ambushed me but also deceived me, and then sealed me, all for the purpose of becoming king in Liyue, right!

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Ganyu】: (Dazed)

【Cloud Retainer】:...

It sounded reasonable at first, but thinking about it carefully, it also sounded reasonable, but if I didn't know the truth, I might have believed it. (Shenhe: Speechless)

【Mountain Shaper】: Haha.

【Moon Carver】: Mr. Seeing Zhongli, why don't you just go to the Dragon-Queller tree? I see that Azhdaha has been eroded to the point of losing his mind. Ms. Furina's joke was taken directly as truth. (Paimon: Shocked)

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Seeing Zhongli】: It should be so. (Nods)

Seeing Zhongli looked worried.

I didn't expect Azhdaha to be eroded to this extent!

Not only did his old friend not remember their initial friendship and turned into an enemy, but he even started to maliciously speculate on the reason why he sealed him.

Even Seeing Zhongli felt a headache, and after thinking about it, he still felt it was more appropriate to go over and beat Azhdaha up himself.

【Kaeya】: Ten minutes have passed, and the screen is full of scenes of ancient Liyue land. Why hasn't my brother Gu appeared yet?

【Arataki Itto】: The first appearance was fishing, the second appearance was handsome to the point of explosion, so what will this appearance be like? (Venti: Expectant)

【Kuki Shinobu】: Boss, stop watching, you can't learn it.

【Arataki Itto】: What do you mean? Can't I appreciate the handsome scene of my brother's appearance? (Arataki Itto: Scratches head)

【Paimon】: The video title is 【Tai Xuan Sect Leader】, and the keywords include 【Teacher of All Adepti】. Gu Chen seems to be quite something this time. (Paimon: Shocked)

【Cloud Retainer】: Could it be that he could teach me in his previous life? (Keqing: Question)

The scene in the video froze in the mountains.

In the clear sky, no one knew when a piece of purple mist had been floating.

When these purple mists drifted to the sky and gathered in one place, brilliant light bloomed.

Only to see ripples in the sky, like a breeze blowing across the water, followed by a portal gradually emerging from the water.

The entire gate was like cast white jade, carved with dragons and phoenixes.

The gate emitted a thick, mysterious, and spiritual aura, making people unable to fathom it and yearning for it.

After the portal completely emerged, the gate slowly opened to both sides, and infinite spiritual light spilled out from the crack.

In an instant, the world illuminated by the spiritual light underwent visible changes.

The mountains, rivers, grass, and trees became more vibrant, and the creatures in the mountains and fields received no small benefits.

The portal in the sky opened wide, and inside the gate was a hazy spiritual light that could not be seen clearly, until a figure emerged.

Silver-white hair floated behind him, wearing a cyan robe, his face like jade, and he was currently looking at the entire world with his eyes.

【Kaeya】: Holy crap?! Brother Gu is so handsome this time?! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Venti】: Unexpected, completely unexpected. The gate of heaven is wide open, and an immortal has descended to the mortal world, right? (Paimon: Shocked)

【Tighnari】: This subverts my common sense! Why can the light emitted by this gate make plants glow with stronger vitality?! Is there some rich life energy in that light?! (Paimon: Shocked)

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Collei】: Cannot understand. (Collei: No response)

【Arataki Itto】: Awesome, worthy of being my brother Gu! (Arataki Itto: Laughs)

【Nilou】: Ah ah ah, Mr. Gu Chen's eyes in this life seem to contain the starry sky, and the temperament on his body that is completely different from mortals is like a god who doesn't eat human fireworks!! May I ask if Havria is that barefoot sister on the cover! (Nilou: Pops up)

(No translation needed for the repetition)

【Paimon】: No, the plot hasn't even reached that point, and you've already started shipping? (Paimon: Shocked)

【Collei】: I can already imagine it, the love between an immortal who descended to the mortal world and a mortal god. (Collei: Longing)

【Cloud Retainer】: (Paimon: Shocked)

【Furina】: From this appearance, I can conclude that Gu Chen is mostly going to start killing in this life. Gu Chen, charge for me!! (Excited)

【Kaeya】: Brothers, the betting is open! Bet on when Gu Chen will unify the Teyvat continent! (Hu Tao: Smirk)

【Venti】: I think three thousand years! (Funny)

【Seeing Zhongli】: From a generally rational perspective, three thousand years seems a bit long, but it depends on what the Gu Chen of the previous life thinks. I think... two thousand years.

【Azhdaha】: Five hundred years, no more! The main theme is believing in Gu Chen!

【Furina】

Two hundred years!

【Raiden Ei】

(Observing from the shadows)

【Nahida】

(Observing from the shadows)

【Paimon】: I'll ask a more crucial question, in this period, was the god born? (Curious)

【Furina】

: I don't know.

【Raiden Ei】: Can't tell.

【Azhdaha】: There's an old thing that has lived for six thousand years, it must have been born. (Nods)

【Seeing Zhongli】:...

【Venti】: He's anxious, you're done for. (Seeing Zhongli puts down the teacup and leaves the video quickly with a dark face for 5s)

【Azhdaha】: Joke, could I be afraid of him!
