Chapter 296

【Venti】: Yo, familiar words!

【Lumine】: I know, Venti would do this; when you want to ask him something, he will tell you to explore and realize it yourself; riddle-makers are all

like this! (Keqing. I refuse)

【Paimon】: Can riddle-makers get out of Teyvat! (Annoyed)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Since the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles doesn't want to say, let's analyze it ourselves based on the video. Alright everyone, the video has started!

The video begins.

Screech

A red eagle streaks across the sky.

It crosses the endless sea of sand and arrives at an area with sparse trees.

The eagle dives down, launching a surprise attack on a rabbit drinking water by the pool.

It grabs the rabbit, throws it down hard from high altitude, and finally lands beside the rabbit's corpse to peck and eat.

【Nilou】: Is this Sumeru?

【Dehya】: Don't know, but that desert is very similar... the endless desert is like this. (Dehya. Sending flowers)

【Collei】: If it just crossed the boundary between the desert and the rainforest, then there are trees and pools here, and I saw water flowing further away... this area

should be the rainforest area, right? The trees are so sparse!

【Nahida】:

I remember Greater Lord Rukkhadevata created the rainforest; this area doesn't count as rainforest yet. (Nahida. Pondering)

【Tighnari】: Indeed that is the case.

【Xingqiu】: It's hard to imagine the humans living in Sumeru at that time... It must have been very uncomfortable in the sky full of sand, right? Especially breathing with your mouth open might inhale a lot of

sand and gravel. (Paimon. Shocked)

【Cyno】: That's not the key.

【Kaeya】: Then what is the key?

【Cyno】: The key is, the desert burns your feet. (Convinced)

【Furina】: Your perspective on problems is so strange, but it's indeed hard to imagine the desert under the scorching sun. (Paimon. Shocked)

【Neuvillette】: Just looking at it makes me not want to go. (Neuvillette. High-class)

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: Judging from where that eagle flew over, the environment of ancient Sumeru was really harsh... Greater Lord Rukkhadevata creating the rainforest was really

a great achievement! (Keqing. Thumbs up)

【Jean】: Speaking of which, I suddenly realized that the environment of various countries in ancient times seems to be particularly harsh; like Mondstadt, at that time the earth was still pale as bone,

snow filled the sky, and living in such an environment, you would freeze to death if you weren't careful!

【Chongyun】: It seems the environment of ancient Liyue was slightly better? (Paimon. Shocked)

【Gu Chen】: You really don't count the demons all over the ground as monsters?

【Chongyun】: Ah, this...

【Baizhu】: In such a large area, it seems there are no humans living there? (Nahida. Questioning)

【Raiden Ei】: Didn't see any.

【Nilou】: Here it comes!

In the video

The eagle pecking at the rabbit suddenly looks up alertly into the distance.

Sand and wind rise in the distance, the clear pool is covered by sand, and the small animals drinking water cautiously are fleeing alertly.

The sand and wind slowly subside, and the eagle continues to peck at the rabbit stained with sand.

After a while, it looks up alertly in another direction again,

A figure is walking in the sky full of yellow sand.

The distance gets closer, and it becomes clearer.

Endless yellow sand rolls with heat waves under the scorching sun.

That person doesn't seem to be affected at all, walking leisurely in the yellow sand, calm and composed.

【Nilou】: It's Mr. Gu Chen! The male lead is appearing!

【Collei】: Yay!

Under the scorching sun, Gu Chen has short hair, looking very refreshing.

The outer garment is a black robe draped over his shoulders.

Inside is a light-colored shirt, and from the shirt down is a pair of black trousers and matte leather shoes.

【Kaeya】: Fine, fine, appearing so handsome again, right? (Nahida. Pointing)

【Venti】: It doesn't matter, at least he looks miserable on the cover, very sympathetic.

(Seeing Zhongli. Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Azhdaha】: Come quickly to mock! (Azhdaha. Roaring)

【Gu Chen】: I've remembered you three, remember to come to Tai Xuan Sect to sweep the floor!

(Hu Tao. Smirk)

【Paimon】: Speaking of which, why is Gu Chen so handsome every time he appears? (Keqing. Questioning)

【Gu Chen】: Because I am just this handsome. (Hu Tao. Acting cute)

【Kaeya】: Has this video been polished? I strongly suspect that the person who polished the video is definitely Gu Chen himself! (Hu Tao. Smirk)

【Furina】: No doubt, it was definitely done by him! (Convinced)

【Lumine】: You are maliciously speculating about my husband; my husband is the most handsome at any time! (Klee. Yay)

【Prince】: Lumine, you make me feel like a stranger now. (Shaking head)

【Lumine】: Indeed very strange, after all, I have a husband now. (Paimon. Hmph)

【Kaeya】: (Funny)

【Gu Chen】: Brother-in-law, speak, why aren't you speaking anymore? (Hu Tao. Smirk)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Mr. Gu Chen is walking in the sea of sand, heading toward the rainforest... this stage seems to be before the female lead Greater Lord Rukkhadevata appears,

and from the sparse vegetation, it can be seen that this is not the time when Greater Lord Rukkhadevata created the rainforest, so... this time is probably very long ago.

【Alhaitham】: At least two thousand years ago.

【Tighnari】: Checked from the Akasha system, I feel it might even be more than three thousand years ago!

【Nahida】: Use the Akasha system less.

【Collei】: Eh? Why? (Nahida. Questioning)

【Nahida】: Hmm... I can't say. (Hydro Fungus. Scared)

"I will be watching you here."

Under the bird-beak mask, Dottore's mouth curled into a playful smile, and he continued: "Lesser Lord Kusanali, please don't leak our plan... at least until the plan is completed,

please remain silent, otherwise I can't guarantee what the people of Sumeru City will encounter... Hehehe..."

Dottore's laughter made Nahida a bit scared.

She was afraid that Dottore would do something irreparable to the people of Sumeru City.

"Aren't you afraid that the gods in the group will be angry when they know your plan! Also, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is awake now!"

"Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?"

Dottore was silent for a moment and then laughed loudly: "She has seen the collection of Gnosis, yet she has never taken any action... You can consider it as her tacit approval of all this,

or you can consider it as her disdain to pay attention to all this... In short, the plan will proceed steadily, so don't bother worrying about it... As for whether the other gods will be angry because of this...

it is indeed something to worry about..."

"But unfortunately."

"I won't let them know about this."

"Lesser Lord Kusanali, you wouldn't want the people of Sumeru City to be tortured to death by plague and illness, right?"

Nahida: "..."

Where had the Lesser Lord Kusanali, pure as a blank sheet of paper, ever been threatened like this.

She seemed to have no choice but to obey.

"Don't ever try to private message them~"

Dottore smiled and took out a device emitting a strange aura from his arms and said: "As long as I die, or something unexpected happens, it will start, and then destroy the entire

Sumeru City... By the way, there is more than one such device!"
