Chapter 460

Jiang Yan blinked in slight surprise.

"Lord, Ayan, I'll take Ningguang and the others back first."

Little Ganyu understood that Jiang Yan and Morax had serious matters to discuss, so she prepared to take Ningguang and the three little ones home first.

"Alright, if I'm late coming back, just go to sleep."

Jiang Yan smoothed Little Ganyu's soft hair, speaking gently.

Morax nodded as well.

"Mm."

Little Ganyu nodded, then led Ningguang and the three little ones toward home.

Seeing Little Ganyu and the others leave, Morax turned to Jiang Yan and said:

"Let's go."

"Mm."

Jiang Yan nodded and flew with Morax toward the distant Tianhengshan.

At the summit of Tianhengshan.

In a small pavilion atop the summit, Jiang Yan and Morax descended from the sky.

To make it convenient for everyone to gather, Jiang Yan had built a small pavilion atop Tianhengshan.

Sometimes when he had free time, it was also convenient for him to have tea.

Arriving at the stone table and sitting down, Jiang Yan snapped his fingers.

The gem in his right hand glowed, and a pot of steaming tea appeared on the stone table before them.

"What did you want to see me about?"

Jiang Yan poured tea for Morax and himself, then asked Morax.

"Hmm… I just wanted to ask you."

"What do you think of the second-generation Ice God of Fontaine?"

Morax paused, then asked Jiang Yan.

The second-generation Ice God of Fontaine?

Jiang Yan blinked in surprise.

Since the original three gods of Natlan, Fontaine, and Mondstadt mysteriously passed away, the Seven have not gathered together for a long time.

The only ones who still occasionally meet are these four nations bordering Liyue, where the original gods still exist.

Jiang Yan was truly unfamiliar with Fontaine's second-generation Ice God.

After all, he had never met her.

His knowledge of her amounted to only scattered fragments from the plotlines of her past life.

The second-generation Ice God's recent maneuvers have indeed been numerous.

Not only has she been wildly expanding Fontaine's military, but her Fatui have also constantly tried to infiltrate Liyue.

Yet, under the deterrence of Jiang Yan and the Qianyan Army, the Fatui's infiltration plans have never succeeded.

"What? Did that second-generation god approach you?"

Jiang Yan asked, puzzled.

"Mm."

Morax briefly told Jiang Yan about the conversation he had with the second-generation Ice God that morning.

"I see…"

Jiang Yan understood—it was this matter.

This was exactly the fake death event that Morax had personally orchestrated after the Traveler arrived in Liyue, kicking off the main plot.

He had even held a funeral for himself.

"Heh, just a second-generation god…"

"Dares to speak to you so arrogantly."

"Fontaine truly has boldness!"

Jiang Yan sneered.

"Looks like I'll have to make time to pay Fontaine a visit and have a friendly 'chat' with these Fontaine people."

Jiang Yan's tone carried utter disdain for Fontaine.

Not to mention that Fontaine right now hasn't even assembled all eleven Fatui Executives.

Even if they had, they wouldn't have the qualifications to even step onto the stage before Jiang Yan.

After all, they're just a group scheming in the shadows to steal the Divine Core and rebel against Celestial Order.

Compared to Jiang Yan, who can negotiate with Celestial Order as an equal.

Jiang Yan's contempt for them was natural.

"Calm down—you're not going to punish ordinary Fontaine civilians; they haven't done anything wrong."

Morax stopped Jiang Yan.

Otherwise, if Jiang Yan got angry, he might just open a Chuansong Sect and level Fontaine Palace outright.

"Though the current Fontaine Ice God differs greatly in character from the original one."

"We still owe respect to the original Ice God's dignity."

This was also why Morax had not directly clashed with Fontaine's second-generation Ice God.

"Hmph, for the sake of the original Ice God, I'll let her off this time."

Jiang Yan snorted, for he held a relatively favorable impression of the original Ice God.

After all, the First Ice God's gentleness was such that even Jiang Yan had never entertained the idea of causing trouble on her turf.

If the Ice God's passing had not been so sudden, by the time Jiang Yan learned of the Ice God's demise, the Ice God would have been cold for who knows how long already.

Although he felt some regret in his heart over the Ice God's passing, Jiang Yan had no way of directly possessing the ability to resurrect the Ice God.

Even with the Time Gem, Jiang Yan would still need the specific time of the First Ice God's passing and to see the First Ice God's remains in order to do so.

Moreover, in the game from his previous life, the Traveler had only just finished touring all of Sumeru.

The Hydro God's nation of Fontaine had not yet been visited, so how could he possibly know anything about the plot involving the Cryo Archon?

Furthermore, even if Jiang Yan again had the idea of resurrecting the First Ice God, the Second Ice God, who had already ascended to the divine throne, would not necessarily allow Jiang Yan to do so.

After all, no one knew where the First Ice God's remains were.

Perhaps even the people of Snezhnaya did not know why the First Ice God had suddenly passed away.

"Then what are you planning?"

Jiang Yan asked Morax.

"Just hand the Geo Archon's Heart over to her like that?"
