Chapter 313: Take Guizhong away! Final preparations!

Leaving Mount Aocang.

The three headed down a completely different path than the one they came from.

"Master, where are we going?" Ganyu asked curiously.

"Guili Plains."

Guili Plains?

Wasn't that place destroyed and abandoned long ago?

Ganyu was stunned for a moment and didn't ask why.

Anyway, she would know soon.

Just being with her master like this made her feel very satisfied.

Now that Ganyu had put down her work, she finally had free time to manage her own affairs.

In the past, she had devoted all her heart to Liyue’s development, to fulfill the contract with Zhongli.

Now that Luo Li had returned, and the Archon himself had laid down his burden.

After a thousand years of contracts, Ganyu also developed some small thoughts.

Since the Archon could do it, couldn't I?

Having worked so hard for so many years, today, a thousand years later, even if she wanted to retire, others would have nothing to say.

Thus, Ganyu, with her little thoughts, whispered to Shenhe.

This self-contentment lasted until they arrived at Guili Plains.

In essence, Ganyu and Shenhe were actually quite similar.

One had struggled with her identity as an adeptus and a mortal, and the other was completely indifferent to emotions, lacking understanding of the human world.

Both were lonely girls, but both were healed by Luo Li.

"Guili Plains has changed a lot now."

Although Ganyu liked to go to Dihua Marsh to see wild Glaze Lilies, she, who was burdened with work, obviously didn't have much time for personal planning.

Therefore, she hadn't come to Guili Plains many times, mostly just wanting to accompany Luo Li.

"Yes, the memories of the past can only exist as memories."

Luo Li replied with emotion.

Shenhe didn't understand the feelings of the two and cast a slightly puzzled gaze.

Ganyu seemed to have a little pride in this, and a happy smile bloomed on her lips.

Probably because she had unique memories with her master, which could be considered a small secret.

Afterward, the three walked through the lush water grass and some intermittent pools, and many white cranes and egrets cast their gazes at the few.

Perhaps the temperament unique to adepti made them feel close, and from time to time, white cranes would descend beside Shenhe, making sounds of closeness to her.

"They seem to like you very much." Luo Li stared at the white cranes that were not afraid of people.

Shenhe gave a soft "hmm" and threw some bait she had prepared to the white cranes, letting them peck at it.

After learning about the affinity between herself and white cranes a long time ago, she had always carried bait with her just to feed them.

Shenhe, who was noble in character and stood aloof like a white crane, slowed her pace slightly, and until the feeding was finished and the white cranes flew away, she followed Luo Li and Ganyu’s footsteps.

At the same time, the three had arrived at Guili Assembly.

Passing through the damaged market, the wild and ancient atmosphere from the historical foundation made Shenhe look sideways.

Most of the stone houses in the former Guili Assembly had been destroyed.

Ganyu and Shenhe followed Luo Li’s footsteps without speaking; both could clearly feel his emotions, which were slightly nostalgic.

When passing by some places, Luo Li would even slow his pace slightly.

This continued until they arrived at the very front of Guili Assembly, in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

This was the location of the secret realm where the Dust Archon Guizhong was stored.

In less than an hour, the three arrived in front of the ancient and vicissitudinous secret realm.

"This is?"

Ganyu was a bit surprised; she never knew there was a secret realm here.

Luo Li first looked at the door, then answered: "The place where Guizhong sleeps."

Guizhong?

Ganyu didn't even react to the meaning of this name for a while, and it took a full few seconds to recall it, her face showing a surprised expression.

The Guizhong in her master’s mouth was undoubtedly the Dust Archon.

"Guizhong, sleeping? Isn't she..."

She just wanted to say "fallen," but thinking of her master’s relationship with her, Ganyu stopped in an instant.

Luo Li understood the girl’s meaning, smiled, and didn't respond, walking straight forward a few steps to open the seal of the secret realm and stepping into it.

Ganyu and Shenhe followed closely behind.

Inside the adepti secret realm!

It was no different from the previous two times he had come.

As soon as Luo Li entered, he headed toward the top with a clear purpose; the Ganyu and Shenhe behind him were both well-informed and didn't show much fluctuation toward the adepti secret realm.

They were just a bit surprised at the vastness of this secret realm, which was much larger than the secret realms of the adepti they had seen.

Arriving at the floating island surrounded by ancient trees at the very top, Ganyu and Shenhe both developed different, strange emotions toward the so-called Dust Archon Guizhong.

Ganyu had seen Guizhong, but she was still young then, and her childhood memories were not very clear.

Now that she could see this sister again, her mood was a bit complicated and expectant.

Stepping onto the land of the floating island, the two women saw a simple and ancient courtyard, with many beautiful flowers growing around it.

Luo Li entered the courtyard without stopping and came to the front of the crystal coffin containing Guizhong.

Ganyu and Shenhe followed closely, and then they saw the woman of peerless elegance, sleeping quietly in the transparent coffin.

"Is it really... Sister Guizhong?!"

The moment she saw that beautiful face, Ganyu confirmed the other party’s identity.

The gentle and lively figure from the past was recalled from her memory again.

Luo Li stared quietly at Guizhong; the Dust Archon lay there quietly, not looking like she had fallen, just like she was sleeping.

If it were purely to make Guizhong revive, he could actually do it now.

Over these five hundred years, the reserve of authority he had obtained had long reached a terrifying level.

Just like Otto reviving Kallen, using authority to forcibly create a new possibility on the Imaginary Tree, that is, a parallel world.

Kallen in that world had her fate changed and thus survived.

But Luo Li didn't want to create a new Guizhong in a parallel world; he just wanted the Guizhong before him to be completely revived, the original her.

And personally say that sentence locked in the Dust Lock.

He hadn't reached the level of power where he could ignore everything, so he could only helplessly watch Guizhong fall.

Until now, if she were revived again, he would ensure that this girl, who was not good at martial arts like Raiden Makoto, would not have any more regrettable accidents.

"Wait a little longer patiently; the time for you to wake up is not far away."

Luo Li’s eyes were full of faint softness, staring at this first goddess who walked into his heart.
