Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Liyue, five hundred years later.

Shadow looked at the Divine Child, asking somewhat puzzled: "Divine Child, when did you have dealings with Xuan Ge?"

In the image, still in fox form, still the young Divine Child, actually lay on Xuan Ge's face.

What's the difference between that and standing naked in front of Xuan Ge?!

The Divine Child smiled faintly and casually told a lie: "Shadow, I was just protecting you and Sister Makoto."

She had merely tested just now to see if she could influence her past self.

Unexpectedly, the force was so great.

But this was actually what she wanted; so what if she was small?

When Xuan Ge treated her as a hand warmer, where had he not touched? She had long been Xuan Ge's person.

And from the moment she jumped from her past self onto Xuan Ge's face, she actually no longer needed to influence her past self.

Because in that instant, she had already acknowledged Xuan Ge.

Shadow furrowed her brow, as if what the Divine Child said... indeed could not be faulted.

After all, she had indeed interrupted her and her sister's argument.

The image continued.

Xuan Ge lifted that pink big bun, curiously examining this pink-haired fox.

Who is this little thing?

Fox Shrine Palace hurried over, quickly explaining: "Sorry sorry, this is Yae Miko, she's still a child."

"Mm, still a girl."

Xuan Ge smiled and handed the Divine Child over to the white-haired fox, then reached out and tugged at the pale pink fox fur stuck to his mouth corner.

Just now the Divine Child had smeared his whole face, and he still hadn't figured out which part of the body this fur was from.

"Wuu~" The Divine Child still wanted to mess around; her scent hadn't had time to leave much.

But Fox Shrine Palace held her tightly this time, and wouldn't let her run again.

"... Uh, she is indeed a girl." Fox Shrine Palace smiled somewhat bitterly.

She never expected the Divine Child would go this far, actually giving her first time to Xuan Ge.

Foxes indeed leave scent on things they like, generally using biting to mark ownership.

But this little girl actually used that place; this was something she never expected.

Fortunately the Divine Child hadn't taken human form yet; if she had transformed, just now wouldn't it have been...

Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto exchanged glances; after the Divine Child stirred things up, both sides decided to each take a step back.

Fight again later.

"Let's call the duel to a halt for now; after all, the power Xuan Ge just unleashed is enough to surpass anyone."

Raiden Makoto came to Xuan Ge's side like a little bird leaning on a person, reaching out to gesture for him to follow her inside to talk.

"You're strong. I hope that afterward, you can be my opponent."

Shadow also put her arm around Xuan Ge's arm, forming a pincer movement with Raiden Makoto on left and right.

"Let's go inside and talk; I indeed have something to explain by coming here."

Xuan Ge nodded, then looked at the others.

"Together; I haven't finished watching that dance just now."

"... Rogue." Yu Yu Qian Dai's face turned red; she didn't expect Xuan Ge to actually still want to watch.

Then... then she'd just dance another segment; anyway she couldn't beat him.

After entering Tenshukaku, Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto yielded the seat of honor to Xuan Ge.

Raiden Makoto knew Xuan Ge's habits and had ordered the kneeling implements replaced with tables and chairs in advance.

"Sister, are you hiding something from me?" Raiden Ei sat on Xuan Ge's right, looking at Makoto across Xuan Ge.

As soon as she entered, Sister ordered a whole set of seats changed, and even the raw fish was all removed, replaced with cooked food and spicy pot.

She normally never did such things.

How could she understand Xuan Ge so well?

"Little sister, you still have much to learn; afterward I will teach you how to handle Inazuma's affairs."

Raiden Makoto still used that same set of methods she once used to drag out Shadow.

After all, this was her only chance to have an affair with Xuan Ge....

No wait, a date opportunity.

Otherwise Shadow clung to Xuan Ge every day, and she wouldn't even have a chance to make a move.

Shadow did not agree.

That strangeness in her heart surged up again, as if agreeing to Sister's seemingly ordinary request would cause the sky to fall.

"Wuu!" The Divine Child noticed Fox Shrine Palace's arm loosen slightly, and immediately darted out.

"Eh?" Fox Shrine Palace, who was pouring alcohol, was caught off guard and saw the Divine Child had already steadily burrowed into Xuan Ge's arms.

"It's fine, just treat her as a hand warmer."

Xuan Ge held the Divine Child and gestured that this was not an offense; on the contrary, the Divine Child's soft feel was very comfortable.

Hu Zhai Gong nodded; although she wasn't quite clear on Xuan Ge's thoughts, Liyue had immortals, so he should know the Divine Child was just a little girl.

However...

Seeing how much Xuan Ge liked foxes, wouldn't her acting as a warm hand treasure be better than the Divine Child?

She had many tails, her volume was larger than the Divine Child's, and she was also softer.

Since that was the case, could she also seize the opportunity to insert herself?

Of course, this was just a joke; after all, she had only just met Xuan Ge.

Although her figure was indeed better, age-wise she was still a bit older than Xuan Ge.

But there was one point she could be certain of.

Raiden Makoto truly knew Xuan Ge, while Raiden Ei was more like a child whose beloved toy had been snatched away, desperately being protective of her food.

So, had something happened to Raiden Makoto? Had she met Xuan Ge in terms of time?

Hu Zhai Gong increasingly felt this idea could hold.

Because Xuan Ge's power was simply too strong, and it fundamentally wasn't Elemental Power, but pure Numerical Suppression.

Xuan Ge received the alcohol Raiden Makoto handed over, then looked toward Yu Yu Qian Dai in the center of the venue.

"Continue the music, continue the dance."

"Yes, General."

Yu Yu Qian Dai bowed deeply, continued the previous dance amid the accompaniment, and simultaneously listened carefully to what Xuan Ge would say next.

Before entering, Xuan Ge had said he had matters to discuss, and he had also left Sasayuri behind.

This showed he wasn't here to pick up girls; there should be a real Big Thing.

"Xuan Ge, do you have some important matter to speak of here?"

Raiden Makoto tentatively asked, guessing it might relate to the Khaenri'ah War.

"Mm." Xuan Ge drank a mouthful of alcohol and spoke in a low voice, "Teyvat's pattern is about to welcome a Transform."

Halfway through his words, he turned his head and glanced at that group of Five Hundred Years Later Observers.

This sentence was telling Ruo Na Wa and them.

He would make some changes, but Absolutely Not disturb the predetermined cause and effect; whatever Five Hundred Years Later should be like, it would still be like that.

"Xuan Ge, then you..."

Xuan Ge held Raiden Makoto's hand and told everyone present straight-out: "I, can do anything."

Heavenly Principles knew long ago that he had come, but she dared not descend, not even daring to touch a single thread of his cause and effect.

However, although he had yet to have any intersection with Heavenly Principles, as a fellow leader who mastered one side, he understood Heavenly Principles' current thoughts better than anyone.

Laid before Heavenly Principles were only two paths:

First was to resist, then kneel and submit, incidentally performing a Cold Exterior Warm Interior high-and-mighty face cracking;

Second was Wise Submission, just like right now.

Own front door wide open, letting him stroll as he pleased, take whatever he fancied, his happiness most important.

She Obviously chose the second.

"Mm, I believe you." Raiden Makoto heard the meaning in Xuan Ge's words.

He would command troops on campaign as before.

Only this time, he would not Seize Opportunity during the Abyss eruption to unify Teyvat, but would instead point the spearhead mainly at the Abyss, leading Teyvat to jointly resist the Abyss.

As for whether he would unify afterward... that was a future matter.

And this point Istaroth had long told her; it was also precisely the Foundation of their Cooperation.

Istaroth had explicitly expressed she greatly admired the Raiden Shogun's "Human Will"; only Heavenly Principles had not yet slumbered, so she could not Reveal too much.

That Divine War back then, Istaroth actually hoped Xuan Ge would point his spearhead at Heavenly Principles; that Life Executor held the same thought.

Only foolish Ruo Na Wa hadn't turned the corner; she just went to Khaenri'ah and sent down the Immortal Curse, then was immediately pushed out to handle Xuan Ge.

And that Divine War was precisely Istaroth successfully opening it by Ruo Na Wa's hand.

But Heavenly Principles simply didn't take the bait; one could even say...

Heavenly Principles knew from start to finish, but didn't look, didn't care, handed all matters to the shadow.

So Istaroth used this Time Rift method to protect her, deceiving every single person present.
