She was astonished by Gu Chen's grand ambitions.

She couldn't help but ask, "You actually have such a great aspiration?"

"Of course, this is the meaning of my coming to this world, isn't it?" Gu Chen nodded, then said, "Besides this, I truly don't know what else I should do in this world."

"I see…"

Looking at Gu Chen's expression, Sister Guizhong thought for a moment before smiling gently, "Then I'll help you!"

Gu Chen looked at the enthusiastic young goddess beside him with slight surprise, seemingly wondering whether he should accept.

"A person's strength is always limited, you know!"

"Since you have such a lofty ambition, I want to help you too!"

Hearing Sister Guizhong say this, Gu Chen nodded, "You're right. In that case, I shall establish a sect within your settlement."

"Establish a sect?" Sister Guizhong was puzzled.

"To establish teachings and provide guidance."

"I am burdened with immortal arts and cannot bear to see people drifting in this chaotic world. If I grant them powerful strength, they will at least be able to protect themselves."

Sister Guizhong suddenly understood and then generously said, "Alright!"

【Cloud Retainer】: As expected, he is going to establish a sect!

【Collei】: Mr. Gu Chen's ambition in this life sounds incredibly great just hearing about it! To establish eternal peace—is, is this really something a human can achieve? (Paimon. eating)

(Shocked)

Even in the current era of the Seven Archons, no one would dare claim to guarantee eternal peace, right?

【Seeing Zhongli】: Gu Chen in this life is burdened with immortal arts. Looking at this decision, it seems he intends to pass down the arts to all the people? If that is truly possible, it is hard to imagine how things will

develop. (Seeing Zhongli. sipping tea)

In the real world, if a human has sufficient talent, they can indeed learn immortal arts.

As far as Seeing Zhongli knows, Cloud Retainer has a human disciple, and Streetward Rambler also has a young human apprentice.

Although they share the commonality of possessing a Vision, it does not change the fact that they truly know immortal arts.

The Vision, this external magical organ, is merely an energy storage device they need to cast immortal arts.

Seeing Zhongli knows well how difficult it is for humans to learn immortal arts, which is why he understands even better how difficult it is to achieve Gu Chen's ambition in the video.

Is it really feasible to grant the arts to all the people?

【Albedo】: Mr. Gu Chen's decision will inevitably bring drastic changes to Teyvat; I just don't know how far the final impact will reach. (Contemplating)

In the video.

Under Sister Guizhong's guidance, Gu Chen visited every part of the settlement under her protection.

The more he felt the difficulty of human survival in this world, the more determined Gu Chen became in his decision.

This was the meaning of his arrival in this world.

It could also be viewed as a mission.

"What are you going to do next?" Sister Guizhong asked with some curiosity.

Gu Chen looked around her settlement before saying, "Open a sect! It's just a pity that this place isn't suitable for building a mountain gate."

"Eh? Why?" Sister Guizhong was puzzled.

"It is too flat here, not suitable for disciples to cultivate. Only among the mountains is it suitable… I can't raise flowers in a greenhouse."

"In the midst of the great struggles of the world, they need to experience the test of storms to protect themselves… Without experiencing life and death, they cannot gain enlightenment."

After pondering for a long while, Gu Chen said, "The mountains where I first started are a very suitable place."

"Inside those big mountains?"

Sister Guizhong looked into the distance, pouted, and said, "That's so, so far away… But it doesn't matter, we can just move there."

Gu Chen looked down at the young goddess who was a head shorter than him, pondered slightly, and said, "That works too. We shall just move there."

"Then I'll go notify them! But we must be careful on the road, watch out for the territories of those other gods; it wouldn't be good to be mistaken for invaders." Sister Guizhong hopped away, eager to notify

the subjects under her rule.

The subjects protected by Sister Guizhong had no objections to the sudden relocation.

Although they were reluctant to leave the home they had built over this time, Sister Guizhong had clearly told them that they now had an affinity for the immortals.

"There are over three thousand people in total. When shall we depart?" Sister Guizhong asked.

"We can leave now."

Gu Chen glanced over, then flicked his right hand; a whistling wind sound came from the movement of his sleeves.

The three thousand-plus people instantly shrank to the size of ants, as if swept up by the wind, and fell into Gu Chen's sleeves.

Sister Guizhong squatted by Gu Chen's right side, reached two small hands into the wide sleeve, tugged at his robe, and looked a bit confused. She then poked her head inside to look for a while.

After finding nothing, she said in a puzzled tone, "How did you do that?"

"Want to learn?" Gu Chen smiled slightly.

"Mm-hmm, this is just too convenient!" Sister Guizhong nodded, her delicate, petite face beaming with joy. She waved her own sleeve and said, "Look, mine is even a bit bigger

than yours. If I learn this, can I fit even more people or objects?"

Gu Chen raised his arm to glance at his sleeve, then looked at Sister Guizhong, stunned, "How can you distinguish the capacity of an immortal art by the size of a sleeve?"

"So it doesn't work?"

Sister Guizhong felt a bit disappointed, but quickly cheered up, "The better I learn it, the more I can fit, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Gu Chen nodded.

"Then let's go quickly. Once the mountain gate is built, I want to learn this!" Sister Guizhong said impatiently.

"This is a divine ability, obscure and difficult to understand. Do you really want to learn it?"

"Are you looking down on me? I am a god, I'm not stupid!" Sister Guizhong said, puffing out her cheeks.

"Having confidence is a good thing." Gu Chen smiled without speaking, then said, "We are leaving. Are you really willing to part with this place?"

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Sister Guizhong was stunned.

"I saw it; there is a sea of flowers over there. Are you willing to just leave it behind?" Gu Chen lifted his chin slightly.

In the distance, a vast expanse of Glaze Lilies grew, forming a sea of flowers. As the wind blew, it was breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland, or a scene from a painting.

"You mean those… well, I am a little reluctant."

Sister Guizhong sighed, then put a smile back on her face, "But we can always come back to visit if we have the chance!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Chen pondered for two seconds before saying, "I was actually planning to take this sea of flowers with me while I was at it. Since you say that, then when the time comes…"

Before Gu Chen could finish, Sister Guizhong cheered, tugging on Gu Chen's sleeve with sparkling eyes, "Take it, take it!"

"Haha, alright."

Gu Chen reached out and made a sweeping motion in mid-air.

A blank, transparent scroll seemed to unfurl in the air, capturing the entire sea of flowers from that angle.

The field of Glaze Lilies on the ground vanished silently, as if it had been collected by the scroll.

"So magical." Sister Guizhong watched for a while but couldn't understand the principle.

"Is there anything else you want to bring?" Gu Chen asked.

Sister Guizhong lowered her head to think for a while before shaking it.

"Then let's depart."

As the words fell, a large amount of mist gathered around Gu Chen, forming clouds.

Sister Guizhong curiously reached out to touch it; it was indeed a cloud.

But when the clouds began to rise, Sister Guizhong realized she was also moving away from the ground.

Even though they were just weightless clouds, they were actually carrying the two of them into the sky?!

"They are clearly just clouds, why do I feel like I'm standing on solid ground?" Sister Guizhong couldn't help but ask.

"This is an immortal art, 'Riding the Clouds and Mists.' As for how to cast it, you will learn it later," Gu Chen laughed.

"This is much more interesting than mechanical arts!" Sister Guizhong exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

"Stand steady!"

The slowly drifting cloud suddenly began to accelerate.

"Eh eh eh!!"

【Paimon】: Is this an immortal art! I've learned something new! (Paimon. shocked)

【Xingqiu】: Good heavens, a sleeve can fit three thousand people; there is a universe within the sleeve. (Paimon. shocked)
