Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"So, you're Xuan Ge's people, and you still want to research the Abyss?"

The four women of the Shadow Archon caught this one robot plus two humans; she thought Xuan Ge had come, but it turned out to be his subjects.

"Yes, His Majesty encountered trouble and needs to obtain power from beyond the world."

Lai Gu Shi gave a slight bow; according to the theorem that 'the greater is the purer beauty,' these four might be consorts.

Istaroth frowned slightly; she did not reply immediately.

It wasn't that she wouldn't allow it, but whether these three could really pull it off.

One wearing a wheat-ear golden crown, holding a stone tablet.

One with green hair wearing an eyepatch, resembling a subordinate of the Ice God.

And then there's this Lai Gu Shi before us, who is just like a robot.

"I know the Abyss is just a toy to Xuan Ge, but that's him."

Istaroth still wanted to test them, lest her own negligence cause Teyvat to be lost.

"Heh." Hearing this, Lai Gu Shi also understood Istaroth's concerns.

But who is he?

Setting aside the fact that the rebellious son is the Wisdom Star God, he too once bathed beneath Wisdom's gaze.

"Lady Istaroth, I am the Crown Prince's Tutor chosen by Wisdom. This is Na Ke Xia; he is the Historian of Shen Wu, and likewise a top-tier scholar."

Lai Gu Shi then pointed to La Di Ao.

"This one is a scholar even Xuan Ge admires; the three of us are enough to handle the Abyss."

He wasn't boasting; the Abyss's power lies in the first encounter and its peculiarity; beyond that it has no use.

The three of them suffice.

Moreover, under the Gluttony Path's blessing, the Abyss's strength will multiply geometrically; by then it will be an attack that shaves off the Emberlight's max HP in one hit.

"Then why didn't Xuan Ge come?" Yun Jin asked what she cared about.

How long has it been? Didn't Xuan Ge say he would return?

Glancing at the woman wrapped in black silk, Lai Gu Shi gave a slight bow.

Looks like this one is a consort.

She's big.

"His Majesty ran into some matters in the World Line Rift, so he simply sent us over first."

"This matter wouldn't be that he saw the big one, would it."

Rhinedottir interjected at this moment; she always felt Xuan Ge had been blinded by the big one, otherwise he couldn't possibly not come for something this important.

Hearing this, Na Ke Xia and La Di Ao fell silent and closed their eyes.

His Majesty's reputation in Teyvat has become like this; they're helpless too.

Lai Gu Shi is helpless too; his Majesty could never be this honest.

What to do; as a subject he can only round out the lie.

"His Majesty's thoughts are not something we can fathom."

Rounded it, but rounded it poorly.

Hearing Lai Gu Shi's words, all four women silently showed a trace of disdain.

"Hmph." Yun Jin sneered in dissatisfaction, "This scum will sooner or later die on a woman's belly."

Hearing this familiar way of insulting people, the three looked at Yun Jin, seeing her white hair and that cold, tsundere face.

Understood, it's Xing Xiao.

"Let's talk serious business first, Yun Jin."

Istaroth cut off Yun Jin's episode there, then looked at Rhinedottir.

"Since these three want to research Abyssal power, you take the lead."

She, Yun Jin, and Asmodeus all fall short of Rhinedottir in this aspect; after all, she is the Life Executor, and her original self was also a top-tier alchemist.

"Openly researching the Abyss, I truly cannot refuse."

Rhinedottir nodded slightly, but her words paused.

"However, I want to invite a scholar; he can help a great deal."

Ever since becoming this damn Archon, although her status rose, she was also confined.

Her progress is far behind that CS who treats life like grass.

"The Ice God's subordinate?" Yun Jin knew who it was at once, "Rhinedottir, you think you can't match a mere mortal in researching the forbidden?"

Rhinedottir's progress with Xuan Ge was fast; even Heavenly Principles could do nothing about her.

But constrained by Xuan Ge's sweeping away of all evils, those little schemes of Rhinedottir were boxed in.

But she knew Rhinedottir was secretly researching something by leveraging her status.

"Yun Jin, why do you keep sniping at me?"

Rhinedottir resisted verbally, but her face still wore that smile.

"Since Xuan Ge swept across Teyvat, that guy the Doctor, though a beast, has become much more obedient."

Seeing this scholar's reputation wasn't great, Na Ke Xia thought a moment and then spoke: "Just how treacherous is this scholar's forbidden knowledge?"

"Using human lives for experiments." Rhinedottir spoke the truth without hiding anything from Dottore.

"And then?" Na Ke Xia pressed.

Hm?

Seeing Na Ke Xia press further, Rhinedottir only then realized — on their side was a super Huan Yu world, where human lives seemed to be just a number.

"We have a genius on our side, he conducts atavism experiments; the Sea Rover force and many worlds have suffered persecution."

Lai Gu Shi spoke of the Primordial Doctor.

When the Four Governors heard the Primordial Doctor's bestial conduct, they instantly felt Dottore seemed somewhat clear-browed and fine-eyed — kind by comparison.

Good fellow, there's yet another master.

"Then I'll go notify Dottore." Seeing matters settled, Rhinedottir went to call Dottore over.

Time cannot be delayed; Lai Gu Shi said, only ten days.

Conquer the Abyss within ten days, and gather it in.

"You can experiment right here; the Heavenly Principles granted highest authorization — all resources free for the taking."

"Many thanks." Lai Gu Shi gave a slight bow, then also produced a purple Rubik's Cube and threw it on the ground.

The moment it landed, the purple cube emitted light, then expanded.

"Ding dang dang~ Xiao Hei Ta descends~"

Yes, the experimental equipment they prepared was Xiao Hei Ta.

This one is custom-made, a severed portion of the Black Tower Network; whatever instruments they want, Xiao Hei Ta can manifest.

"Begin, Lady Xiao Hei Ta."

Lai Gu Shi gave the honorific; this bunch of Xiao Hei Ta, each more rebellious than the last, all harbor designs on the Wise Consort's position.

"Lai Gu Shi, don't forget your deal with us."

Xiao Hei Ta set hands on hips, looking like if you don't give us flesh bodies, we'll blow up on you.

Teyvat, Snezhnaya.

The Harbingers gathered, discussing the seizure of Gnoses.

Though the Ice Archon and Xuan Ge have deep ties, Xuan Ge is absent now, so the plan must still proceed.

But before that, the Harbingers have one more matter to discuss.

That is the Snow Queen, Ice Archon.

The Captain looked at the rich man squinting there as if about to fall asleep and said: "Rich Man, the Empress's image has turned into a White Fat Round Ball — any leads?"

Hearing someone call him, the Rich Man opened his eyes and looked at the Captain.

"Then Captain, did you buy one?"

Captain: ……

"Bought it."

The Captain knew this was the Rich Man's trap, but he had to step into it.

Now the Empress's majestic image is utterly ruined, all because Liyue produced a Xuan Ge Q-version doll.

Then the Rich Man seized the business opportunity and immediately manufactured Empress Q-version dolls.

Originally thought the Empress would refuse, but unexpectedly she brought her doll and the Xuan Ge doll to the last meeting.

This caused an avalanche in Snezhnaya.

The Empress's majesty gone beyond recall.

"Hmph, that's still no reason for you to earn the Empress's money."

Hearing the little she-cat huff, the Rich Man looked at Sandrone and pinned her in one second.

"I have a limited edition here, you want it?"

"Tch, how could I possibly take it for free? I'll buy it myself."

Sandrone spoke tsundere-style, looking like she really wants it.

"Sandrone says, she really wants it."

The translator girl Columbina exposed Sandrone from the side.

"Co! Lum! Bi! Na! Whose side are you on anyway!"

The atmosphere turned somewhat cheerful due to Sandrone's huffing, while the Doctor watched quietly, as if an outsider.

Just as he prepared to close his eyes and sleep waiting for the meeting to end, a familiar aura made everyone alert.

"Hehe."

The Doctor looked at the blond man standing at the doorway and let out a light laugh; the gaze behind his lenses instantly brightened.

Seeing Rhinedottir arrive, Dottore knew — his opportunity had come.
