Chapter 173

"Alright, understood. You go ahead and get busy with your work," Lumine laughed. "Don't forget to bring back some more sisters."

[Congratulations to Jean, Eula, and Lisa for receiving rewards.]

[The three have had their Visions upgraded to Iridescent Visions.]

Lisa: "Eh? Suddenly, I'm on par with the Anemo Archon Barbatos?"

Jean: "Lisa..."

Eula: "This is truly something I wouldn't even dare to imagine."

Venti: "Lisa shouldn't be on par with me; she should be on par with the Electro Archon, Raiden Ei."

Yae Miko: "I'm truly envious of these three women."

Lisa: "I always feel like I'm the luckiest one. In my past life, I was just serving as Jean's strategist, yet I never expected to receive the same reward as her."

Kamisato Ayaka: "The strategist had quite a significant role."

[Congratulations to Alice for receiving a reward.]

[Reward: Her Pyro elemental sensing ability is increased threefold, and the explosive power of her bombs is increased threefold.]

Venti: "???"

Kujou Sara: "Wait, why give Ms. Alice this kind of reward?"

Alice: "I already bore Su Bai's child in my past life; is it really a good thing to give me this kind of reward?"

Varka: "They're afraid you'll throw bombs around indiscriminately in the future and actually blow someone to death."

[Congratulations to Varka for receiving a reward.]

[Reward: His special leadership skill, Divine Guidance. (The morale of the knights under his command will increase.)]

Varka: "This is?"

Varka: "I suddenly feel some strange power surging within me."

Enjou: "I'm afraid you've been contaminated by Forbidden Knowledge (envious). Damn it, as a villain, did I really not get any reward?"

Paimon: "Please, you only showed your face; what else do you want?"

Kaeya: "There are actually rewards like this?"

Diluc: "It can actually increase the morale of the knights under one's command?"

Alice: "I'm not convinced."

Rhinedottir: "Hehehe..."

Barbeloth: "Still not convinced? You already bore Su Bai's child and got a reincarnator husband for free; what do you have to be unconvinced about?"

Hu Tao: "So envious. Can the next episode come to Liyue? I want a reward too. I don't want much, just give me one hundred million Mora."

Lumine: "Hu Tao, have a little ambition."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Sigh, my ideals feel like they were easily accomplished by Mr. Su Bai. Standing on the Jade Chamber looking at the distant sea, I seem to see the phantom of a floating island in the sky, five hundred thousand square meters. It won't keep growing, will it?"

[Congratulations to Diluc for receiving a reward.]

[Reward: His father is resurrected.]

Diluc: "???"

Diluc: "This... this is..."

Kaeya: "Congratulations, Diluc. You..."

Diluc: "Why was I able to receive a reward too?"

Enjou: "Hmph! Lucky redhead, perhaps it's because you ended up dying in battle alongside Master Su. You did act like a real man."

Aether: "Enjou has a point. And I think you must have contributed quite a bit to the operation that helped clear Su Bai's name back then."

Kaeya: "(Tears streaming down his face) Why didn't I show up? It's unfair, it's so painful..."

[The rewards for this episode have been distributed.]

[In five minutes, the relevant personnel's memories will be restored.]

[Next episode preview.]

[Liyue, hey! Our dear World-Destroying Demon King True Monarch.]

Although the rewards were very tempting.

The content of the next episode announced by the system felt like a bucket of cold water.

It jolted the people immersed in the previous episode awake.

Liyue Harbor was instantly in an uproar.

Even Azhdaha, who had just been unsealed, hadn't even had time to celebrate regaining his freedom before he stood there, stunned.

"Morax, what does this mean?"

Azhdaha looked at Consultant Zhongli, confused.

Consultant Zhongli rested his chin on one hand and began to think.

"As you can see..."

"In terms of general rationality, the next episode will be about our story in Liyue."

Azhdaha: "..."

"I'm neither blind nor deaf; I'm referring to the content of the preview."

Hey! Our dear World-Destroying Demon King True Monarch.

Taken literally, Su Bai's trip to Liyue will involve world-destroying actions.

However, the suffix "True Monarch" seems more like a reflection of Su Bai's status in Liyue.

At the very least, he should be revered as an adeptus by the people of Liyue.

The live stream chat also began to boil over.

Venti: "Ehe, it's truly incredible that the reincarnator returned to his hometown of Liyue and started destroying the world right away."

Dvalin: "You drunkard, the Mondstadt arc is over, you've finally opened your mouth, and you've entered spectator mode again?"

Barbara: "What does World-Destroying Demon King True Monarch mean? It sounds so scary."

Tianquan Ningguang: "This... is easy to understand. World-Destroying Demon King True Monarch, the focus is on world-destroying. Su Bai must have participated in a plan to destroy the world of Teyvat."

Keqing: "No way, then how do you explain the 'Hey! Our dear' at the beginning? It doesn't sound very scary."

Ganyu: "I don't understand."

Seeing Shenhe: "I don't understand either."

Cloud Retainer: "Could it be that this is a term of endearment we Liyue people have for Su Bai?"

Beidou: "Su Bai is destroying the world, and we still feel like we love him so much? Does this mean we appreciate his actions?"

Hu Tao: "If the world is destroyed, will a lot of people die?"

Lumine: "Hu Tao, in your past life, you got rich."

Consultant Zhongli: "..."

Yelan: "Rex Lapis, don't be speechless at a time like this. In terms of general rationality..."

Consultant Zhongli: "This time, it really cannot be explained by general rationality."

Yae Miko: "Don't you get it yet? Since you call the World-Destroying Demon King 'dear,' it means you people of Liyue followed him and did this together."

Kamisato Ayaka: "What? Liyue destroyed Teyvat under the leadership of the World-Destroying Demon King True Monarch?"

Neuvillette: "That shouldn't be. At the very least, the Liyue adepti and the Geo Archon who participated in the Archon War would not want to destroy the hard-won peace."

Baizhu: "Is there another possibility? That Su Bai descended to Liyue during the Archon War?"

Hu Tao: "No, I don't want that. If that happens, I won't have a part in it."

Tianquan Ningguang: "Ahem, from a merchant's perspective, I also don't want him to descend during the Archon War. If we don't even have a chance to show our faces, sigh... just thinking about it is painful..."

Buer: "Liyue merchants, hmm..."

Alice: "Compatriot, what do you want to say?"

Buer: "The floating island is so big. According to Lumine's plan, why not let Tianquan Ningguang make up the numbers?"

Lumine: "Have a child, and let Master Su give you one hundred billion Mora."

Tianquan Ningguang: "No, that's two different things. You guys..."

Venti: "No matter the situation, the pressure is on Morax."

Consultant Zhongli: "Sigh, at least judging by the preview title, the people of Liyue's acceptance of compatriot Su Bai is still very high."

Navia: "Please don't say such things. We in Fontaine are the highest; no one can compare to the Fontaine people's reverence for the Pope."

Nahida: "Sorry, the Grand Sage is not to be outdone."
