Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"It's the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestations Immortal!"

The people of Liyue, seeing Xiao appear, immediately recognized him as the Great General Jin Peng who has always guarded Liyue from the outside — Xiao.

"Hey, did you hear? The Immortal Jin Peng once caused the Great General Shen Wu to fall into karmic obstacles."

A traveler from out of town asked the middle-aged man in proper robes beside him.

Tian Tie Zui frowned, then looked at him and said: "Where did you hear that from?"

"Uh..." That out-of-towner, seeing Tian Tie Zui's unfriendly gaze, scratched his head and spoke softly:

"I picked up a book at the Mondstadt secondhand market before, it wrote about the Immortal Jin Peng being inadvertently caught in a rift, causing the Shen Wu Army to deviate..."

He didn't dare finish the rest, because the content was that Xiao was corrupted by the Abyss and then infected Shen Wu, which led to the subsequent War of the Gods.

"Hmph, absurd!" Tian Tie Zui let out a cold snort.

"The Historical Records, four hundred years ago the Tianquan Star asked Rex Lapis whether the Xian Zhong Yaksha caused the General Shen Wu to go mad."

"The Lord replied: no."

A charming, mature female voice came from the side.

Tian Tie Zui and that out-of-towner looked over, only to see a woman with short deep-blue hair.

Ye Lan looked at that Great General Shen Wu who looked exactly like the Shen Wu holy statue left by her ancestors, and she continued speaking to explain for Immortal Xiao.

"After General Shen Wu died, Liyue once erupted in a rebellion named the Jin Xi Rebellion; one faction advocated restoring Rex Lapis's rule, while the other faction advocated inheriting Shen Wu's ideal of unifying the world."

The out-of-towner nodded, then looked at this beautiful lady.

"I know this, history books wrote that this was Liyue's internal strife, and in the end it was Mondstadt's invasion that led to a reconciliation between both sides."

Speaking to here, the out-of-towner scratched his head, still somewhat confused: "But this isn't the same thing as what I just said, is it?"

"How is it not the same thing?"

Tian Tie Zui opened his folding fan, explaining for him.

"General Shen Wu swept across the world, saved countless people, but also killed countless people; after Shen Wu died, those remnants of the nobility actually gathered troops, attempting to invade Liyue while the Gods were heavily injured."

Tian Tie Zui's voice grew higher and higher, the storyteller's bearing instantly attracting everyone around, and even making Xuan Ge and Xiao prick up their ears to listen.

"Those people tried to use rumors to smear the Immortal Jin Peng who once stumbled and fell into the Abyss to save a comrade; those remnants wanted to make Liyue even more chaotic internally, thereby reducing military strength."

Tian Tie Zui scanned the crowd, then looked toward the direction of the Immortal Jin Peng and General Shen Wu and spoke:

"But those remnants didn't know, even if Liyue has internal strife, that's our own people fighting; this nation is still the Rock Lord's land, the people here are still Shen Wu's people."

The sound carried to the ice surface, and also entered Xuan Ge's ears.

Xuan Ge looked at the kid before him and nodded in satisfaction: "The words Xianyun had you say, I actually heard them."

Xiao blanked for a moment, then nodded: "General, I have three sins."

Xuan Ge propped Yan Jiao on the ice surface and asked curiously: "Did you break the law?"

"No..."

"Slaughter innocents indiscriminately?" Xuan Ge raised an eyebrow.

"No..."

"Force the common people??"

Xiao still shook his head and said: "No."

"Hah..." Xuan Ge felt he had been played, then spoke somewhat anxiously: "You didn't commit any of these three, so what sin do you have?"

"I stumbled and fell into the Abyss, caused the General to come rescue me, and also caused you, General..."

Speaking to here, Xiao pursed his lips, his hands clenched tight, and he spoke with a choked voice: "It caused you, General, to be eroded by the Abyss and karmic obstacles..."

"And then?"

"Th... then... General you initiated the War of the Gods..." Xiao mustered his courage and finished this sentence, then lowered his head even more.

"That's it?" Xuan Ge put away Yan Jiao, then stepped toward him.

Seeing the General's skirt armor, Xiao subconsciously took a step back.

"That's it?" Xuan Ge asked again, and with one hand gripped Xiao's shoulder, making him stay put and not run.

"That's it." Xiao nodded.

"Tch, I was wondering what it was."

Xuan Ge patted Xiao's shoulder; seeing Xiao so self-blaming, he thought Xiao had snatched something big from him.

Result: hearing Xiao say just this, he thought what big thing it was.

"Alright, that bit of Abyss and karmic obstacle erosion of yours isn't even enough to pass through my lungs."

"General, it was you who started this for me, you shouldn't have saved me..."

Smack!

Xuan Ge immediately gave him a knock on the head.

"In the army, there is only one General; the rest are all soldiers. And me saving you is duty, not kindness, understand?"

"Understood." Xiao nodded.

"Good, that's right."

Xuan Ge lifted his chin, making Xiao look at her, don't look at that spot on my skirt armor, it's weird.

"I came back this time to find out why I insisted on initiating the War of the Gods back then."

Xiao felt his face burning hot; just now the General's move truly didn't treat him as an outsider…

Finish Speaking, Xuan Ge looked at Xiao and asked further: "Did I ever leave you any clues?"

Hear This, Xiao calmed down, and after thinking spoke: "General, you once said a sentence before opening the Archon War."

"What words?"

"So it was like this ah." Xiao recited to Xuan Ge the words the General of Divine Might had muttered to himself before opening the Archon War back then.

Xuan Ge frowned; he couldn't understand Xiao's recounting for a moment.

"Back then I wanted to ask further, but General you suddenly gave the retreat order, and after that you alone disappeared without a trace……"

At this time Xiao's vision dimmed a few degrees.

"After that was the Archon War without any warning……"

"Hmm, so I was also a riddler." Xuan Ge muttered to himself; Xiao's following words he didn't take in at all.

Although Xiao's clues were not many, now they can be pieced together a bit.

The General of Divine Might opening the Archon War was definitely because he confirmed certain conjectures of his, and that sound the Cryo Archon brought also meant the General of Divine Might knew he would come.

So, the Xuan Ge here is also a copy of Jin Guang?

"Tsk……" Xuan Ge shook his head; he felt something was off.

If the Xuan Ge here is a copy of the Extinction Monarch Jin Guang, then what is he doing in Teyvat?

It can't be that he also crossed world lines like myself, right?

But this should be impossible, after all those light arrows condensed by multiple Xuan Ge were all Path Power, completely without any admixture of Teyvat's power system.

"Brain so itchy……"

Xuan Ge scratched his head; he currently cannot get past the hurdle of 'why is there another self here'.

Looks like after finishing matters, truly must go to Qiu Ge Zhi Di to take a look.

"Leave this place first." Xuan Ge placed his hand on Xiao's shoulder, and then the two instantly vanished on the ice surface.

And at the ice surface edge, Da Da Li Ya watching the General of Divine Might leave, he was deep in thought.

"Geo Archon passed away, General of Divine Might returned……"

Da Da Li Ya was pondering where the Geo Archon's Gnosis is.

"Is there a possibility that the Geo Archon faked death to take the opportunity to yield the godhood to the General of Divine Might?"

Da Da Li Ya felt he had touched the truth; he felt this direction was very correct.

After all the General of Divine Might is ultimately a Mortal; even standing at the peak of humanity, he is still human.

But with a Gnosis it's different; he can borrow this power to once again accomplish the great feat of unifying all under heaven. So the Gnosis should be on the General of Divine Might.

Then the question comes: how should he get the Geo Archon's Gnosis?

Snatching is impossible to snatch, because he would die.

What about a trade?

Then this Gnosis, even if the Northland Bank were emptied out it wouldn't be enough to buy……

Thinking of this, Da Da Li Ya couldn't help but sigh; he felt it was too difficult.

And forcing the General of Divine Might to hand it over also won't work, because once the General of Divine Might returns this time, Liyue's military power will surely erupt completely.

Once he causes trouble, the Second Day Liyue's great army can directly reach Snezhnaya's Men Kou.
