Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Xuan Ge, you have to take responsibility."

Even though all the gods and Xuan Ge are clear that Nahida does not share a bloodline with him, what about her herself?

Xuan Ge saved her, and moreover in... in that kind of way.

She was seen completely, Xuan Ge must take responsibility.

Moreover, she herself must also bear responsibility, after all Xuan Ge initiating the Divine War might be related to him absorbing that Abyssal corruption from her body back then.

Neuvillette glanced at the Three Shadows, then spoke up to interrupt.

"Tree King, your matter needs to be set aside for now; Fontaine still has a major affair concerning the lives of the entire nation."

The prophecy of Fontainians dissolving into water, though fiercely suppressed by the Heavenly Bow, is ultimately not a long-term solution; he must make Xuan Ge come to Fontaine.

Finishing speaking, he looked at Xuan Ge and continued: "Xuan Ge, I once served as your Logistics Dispatcher, and together with Mondstadt's Lawrence Clan, we supplied the Frontline for you."

Neuvillette lightly touched Furina beside him, signaling her to speak up quickly and stop just watching the show.

Otherwise, future pocket money halved, cake also halved.

"Ah... ah..."

Furina recovered her senses, originally wanting to continue along Neuvillette's words.

But the gazes of all the gods present fell entirely on her, and the looks cast by those three Shadow Archons were even more meaningful; she deflated at once.

Furina truly feared these Three Shadows would, like just now exposing the Great Benevolent Tree King, also drag out her dirty laundry.

Xuan Ge could tell Furina had been afraid of those three Shadow Archons all along, so he spoke to reassure her: "Speak, I guarantee your safety."

Ruo Na Wa furrowed her beautiful brows; she simply could not understand why Xuan Ge would help an utterly ordinary Hydro Archon.

Furina is clearly not big at all.

"Huu~" Furina took a deep breath, then cleared her throat, only then mustering the courage to speak:

"Xuan Ge, you gave me the Heavenly Bow. Although you said nothing at the time, I know you actually foresaw Fontaine's destruction long ago."

She has no special power, merely an ordinary person with a slightly longer lifespan.

Back when the Divine Might initiated the Divine War, her going was completely just making up the numbers.

Truthfully, to this day having watched so many grand scenes, not one could compare to the spectacle of Divine Might wielding his sword and debating the gods.

The gods stood in the heavens, yet could not block that faint yet stubborn beam of light shining on Xuan Ge.

That scene was indeed cool enough to reach this little Hydro Archon's heart.

But the intensity of that battle also genuinely scared her.

As for how that Heavenly Bow was brought back by her..... that truly must thank Xuan Ge himself.

It seemed because she kept refusing to join the battle, Xuan Ge felt she was slacking off too much, and casually tossed the Heavenly Bow over to her.

Immediately after, she saw a blue-gold giant bow weighing a hundred tons fly toward her.

She ran, the bow chased; she could not fly even with wings.

Thank goodness the other her before departure gave her the Divine Garment, otherwise she would have turned into a puddle of blueberry jam on the spot.

After hearing Furina's words, Xuan Ge pondered a moment then asked: "Did I say anything to you?"

He still wanted to confirm whether Furina also retained that kind of vague message the Ice Queen Anna relayed to him.

"Uh...." Furina tried hard to recall, "Seems like.... no."

"Hm?" Neuvillette looked at Furina in puzzlement.

He clearly remembered, at the time Furina hugged the Heavenly Bow crying her eyes out, her mouth still muttering nonstop things like "Xuan Ge wants her to die."

Xuan Ge, having sensed no vague voice transmission, nodded; it seems this world's "self" indeed left nothing for Furina.

However, what about that Heavenly Bow?

Can she alone carry it away?

Xuan Ge knows the Seven Gods divided his Relics, but Furina's meaning seems to be that she has a Relic preserved intact in her hands.

This is rather intriguing....

Is it a deliberately left marker, or an accident?

"Hmm, how about this." Xuan Ge made a decision.

Since we need to piece together answers from fragmented clues, indeed need him to personally step out.

"I will go to all Seven Nations; any deals can be negotiated, I am a person who values fairness most, but you cannot stop me from seeking answers."

His purpose lies in this; as long as he figures out one world line's simulation trajectory, judging what Cinder Light wants to do next will be easy.

Hearing Xuan Ge's words, all the gods had no objections; this bowl of water was held with indeed quite high skill.

"Right." Xuan Ge silently counted the gods present, "Wind, Rock, Thunder, Grass, Water, Ice..."

"Natlan's situation is not optimistic; the Abyss has always been coveting there."

The Ice God explained the Fire God's absence for him.

"When I departed I passed through Natlan and met her, but she had no other choice, instead firmly believing you would definitely go find her."

Pausing a moment, the Ice God still decided to help the Fire God out, after all the Captain would also go there later.

"Mavuika, same size as me."

Xuan Ge's gaze locked onto Anna's scale in one second.

"It's my fault." Xuan Ge exerted all his strength to pull his gaze back, "It's me who brought calamity to Natlan, it's me who didn't kill the Abyss cleanly back then."

Seeing Xuan Ge looking so righteous and imposing, yet with his gaze locked firmly on the target, Zhongli silently took a sip of tea.

It seems that even if I don't say anything, Xuan Ge will still go and restart the Shen Wu Corps.

As expected, Xuan Ge is still that same Xuan Ge after all.

Merely for the sake of "the big one," he can reverse the entire situation.

"Hmm, why not just let Xuan Ge go fish Zi Bai back? That way Liyue can achieve a complete victory."

Zhongli muttered to himself in his heart, very satisfied with this plan.

Zi Bai, big, big in all sorts of meanings;

Xuan Ge, save, will definitely go save with an extremely strong purpose.

"General, do you really not want to take a look at her?" Rhinedottir spoke up, and casually pointed at Ruo Na Wa.

"She has watched the Qiu Ge Zhi Di for five hundred years, after all."

"It was to prevent Xuan Ge's resurrection, so she monitored for five hundred years, right?" The Ice Goddess spoke indifferently; only a ghost would believe Rhinedottir's words.

"You just say whether she has been watching all along." Rhinedottir didn't care about that bit of mockery from the Ice Goddess.

Anyway, Xuan Ge stared fixedly at Ruo Na Wa's career line until death without letting go.

This spirit can be called the number one in Teyvat.

Ruo Na Wa didn't acknowledge the Ice Goddess's sarcasm, merely looking at Xuan Ge and saying: "You summoned me, so I naturally came."

She didn't choose to openly contend with these women whose stats were slightly lower than hers by a notch.

Xuan Ge would definitely come find her, so there was absolutely no need to rush.

Excessive contention would only expose herself more, and instead make Xuan Ge lose his sense of novelty.

"Fine." Xuan Ge agreed in one breath.

He indeed would definitely go find Ruo Na Wa, after all this woman knows too many things.

Istaroth didn't speak from beginning to end, because she likewise wasn't in a rush.

When Xuan Ge goes to find Ruo Na Wa, he will also definitely stop by to find her and ask about Raiden Makoto's matters.

Zhongli felt matters had been discussed more or less enough, so he waved his hand and withdrew the spatial isolation; Istaroth also simultaneously adjusted the time back to normal.

Once the isolation disappeared, the sound of conversation in the restaurant, and the hawking cries from the street outside, all surged back in.

This made Xuan Ge completely relax.

He glanced a circle at the gods present, then threw out a fatal question.

"You lot, who's paying?"

The gods: "..."

This sentence from Xuan Ge truly stumped everyone.

It wasn't that they didn't want to answer immediately, but saying this matter out loud was indeed somewhat embarrassing.

Seeing not a single person make a sound, Xuan Ge laughed: "Hehe, so you gods don't bring money when you go out, huh."

Xuan Ge had just finished teasing, then immediately froze himself.

This dignified Xianzhou Emperor of his, when going out it seems... he also never brings money, and can't even be bothered with mobile payment.

Going out relies entirely on face-scanning, bills all sent to Sha Jin.

"Ah ya ya, I really drank too much alcohol just now, I'm so dizzy—"

Venti hummed an extremely perfunctory line, then leaned onto Zhongli's shoulder and passed out on the spot.

"Did you bring Mora?" Ying turned her head to look at the Raiden Shogun beside her.

"Kujou Sara is not here." The Raiden Shogun replied truthfully.

The implication being, the two of them usually don't need to pay when buying things, Kujou Sara will naturally handle the aftermath for them.

"How about I refine a little trinket on the spot to offset the bill."

Rhinedottir spoke and extended her hand, a ball of golden light condensing in her palm.

The Ice Goddess spoke up in time to stop her: "No need. Send the bill to the Liyue North Bank, the people there will naturally know who the bill should be sent to."

"Heh." Ruo Na Wa let out a cold humph.

Seeing the Ice Goddess only speak up at this particular time, rather than stand out and answer at the start.

This woman's petty thoughts are practically overflowing.
