Chapter 80 - 286-290

Chapter 286: Jing Yuan is Moved by Luo Feng's light cone; Hu Tao: Which Path Can I Walk?I want to go, I want to go.

I happen to have some things that need verification.Regarding the power of Elio's prophecy that Luo Feng you mentioned, I want to witness it firsthand.

Mona raised her right hand and said.

As an Astrologer, facing the exaggerated prophetic ability of Elio mentioned by Luo Feng, Mona wanted to see it with her own eyes no matter what.

Although Neuvillette, Baizhu, Zhongli, and Yae Miko were not Astrologers, they also expressed the same opinion as Mona.

Elio's prophecy?

Zhongli slightly furrowed his brow and looked at Luo Feng in confusion.

Alright, since you all want to go, it would be quite difficult for Buer to take you all by herself.

In that case, Zhongli, take this.Luo Feng handed the "Texture of Memories", which contained a Preservation light cone, to Zhongli.

 Luo Feng, what is this?Zhongli showed a confused expression.

I don't plan to act together with you for now.The fourth train also doesn't have its Navigator for the time being.Therefore, you will temporarily act as the Captain of the fourth train's team.

Coincidentally, I think with your interests, you will be quite suited for this light cone.

If it's you, carrying this light cone is enough to become the team Captain.

Luo Feng smiled and said to Zhongli meaningfully.

[Noelle: Luo Feng actually gave Mr. Zhongli such a high evaluation, that's amazing.]

[Dehya: When Luo Feng lent this light cone to Candace before, he didn't give Candace such an evaluation.]

[Alhaitham: Even so, Lord Luo Feng also praised Candace highly. This Zhongli should also have his unique qualities.]

[Tartaglia: To be able to receive such an evaluation from Luo Feng, it seems Mr. Zhongli is not just simply knowledgeable and versatile.]

[Venti: Naturally, I have always highly approved of Mr. Zhongli.]

[Jean: Can he perfectly unleash the power of the "Texture of Memories"?]

[Candace: I wonder what kind of scene it will be when Mr. Zhongli uses this light cone.]

With this light cone, even if I display power beyond ordinary people later.

Others shouldn't necessarily think I am Morax

.After all, Lord Luo Feng himself said that I am very suited for this light cone.

Even if I display exaggerated power, everyone will likely think it's mostly the power of the light cone.

After a moment of silence looking at the light cone, Zhongli finally took it into his hand.

Since Luo Feng trusts me so much, I will temporarily accept it.

Zhongli said.

Alright then, you can depart.

I'll go take a look around outside.

After Luo Feng finished speaking, he planned to leave the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Returning to the Xianzhou, he naturally had to take some time to meet old acquaintances like Sushang, Guinaifen, Bai Lu, and even Kafka.

Moreover, he also needed to meet Blade again.

Although he had obtained Remembrance bubbles related to the High-Cloud Quintet from Jingliu.

However, the High-Cloud Quintet's memories from Jingliu's perspective were ultimately incomplete.

To complete them, he would have to find the other living High-Cloud Quintet members and conduct a Remembrance exchange.

Wait, Luo Feng.

Seeing the radiance of Trailblaze shining on Luo Feng, and anticipating that Luo Feng intended to teleport himself, Jing Yuan quickly said.

Is there something, Jing Yuan?

Luo Feng asked doubtfully.

Luo Feng, I previously learned from Xueyi that you helped Xiao walk the the Hunt using your own power.

"This matter is true, right."

Jing Yuan asked.

When Jing Yuan received this news from Xueyi, he felt curious.

Now that Luo Feng was before him, he naturally wanted to clarify it.

"There is indeed such a thing; it's one of my special abilities."

"Is there any problem, Jing Yuan?"

 Luo Feng asked.

"I want to ask, do you possess the power to test others on behalf of Reignbow Arbiter and decide if they can walk the the Hunt?"

Jing Yuan stared intently at Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng truly possessed such power, he would say anything to persuade Luo Feng to use this power to help him train the Cloud Knights.

In his heart, he had even prepared to pay a sufficient price.

"You're thinking too much, Jing Yuan. the Hunt Aeon Lan hasn't granted me such authority."

"The special ability I possess is merely to reduce the difficulty for some of my passengers to walk a Path, and it's not limited to just the the Hunt. That's all."

"Just like Keqing, the Path she walked forward on due to Jingliu's 'guidance' was not the the Hunt, but the Path of Trailblaze."

"Furthermore, this ability of mine is only for my passengers."

Luo Feng shook his head and said.

"Just... that's all?"

When Jing Yuan heard Luo Feng's words, his expression almost broke. This was the power to reduce the difficulty of walking any Path

.It was a pity that Luo Feng was only willing to use this ability on travelers.Jing Yuan sighed in his heart.

Although Luo Feng's tone was calm, Jing Yuan could hear his seriousness.

It would be difficult to get Luo Feng to use this ability on the Cloud Knights.

"Luo Feng, I previously heard you mention Elio's prophecy."

"Could it be that you know the reason why the Stellaron Hunters came here?"

After Jing Yuan temporarily gave up on having Luo Feng train the Cloud Knights, he immediately turned his attention to the Stellaron Hunters.

"I just know some general things."

"As for the reason the Stellaron Hunters came here, you will naturally know once Fu Xuan catches her."

 Luo Feng said.

"Although that's the case, I always feel that Lord Luo Feng knows more than expected."

"If possible, I would like to ask Luo Feng to give a little reminder."

Jing Yuan smiled.

As things stand, threats like the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Stellaron Hunters, and the stellaron are coming one after another, and Jingliu's purpose for appearing on Xianzhou Luofu is unclear.

If possible, Jing Yuan still hoped to get more help from Luo Feng.

"Is that so..."

 Luo Feng rubbed his chin and looked Jing Yuan up and down.

"Forget about reminders, but since you mentioned help, it's not impossible for me to provide some assistance."

"General Jing Yuan, what do you think of this light cone?"

 Luo Feng said, taking out Jing Yuan's exclusive light cone and handing it to him.

"This is... my exclusive light cone?"

Jing Yuan looked at the light cone, feeling the power within it that was extremely suitable for him, and his heart was greatly shocked.

 Luo Feng smiled, raised his other hand, and pointed at the light cone [Before Dawn].

As a halo of light surged from [Before Dawn], the related memories recorded within it were immediately displayed before everyone.

In the projection of memories, Jing Yuan was seen sitting leisurely in his seat, his eyes half-closed, listening to his subordinate's report.

[Subordinate: General, please be sure to handle this matter carefully... How will history comment on you, General...]

The General's subordinate's eyes showed worry, as they tried to persuade Jing Yuan, who seemed not to care much about the report's content.

In fact, Jing Yuan truly didn't care, smiling and playing with the sparrow beside him.

[Jing Yuan: History will naturally have its judgment, but I have little interest in history's conclusions.]

[Jing Yuan: If it succeeds, I am confident and at ease; if it fails, I am indulging in excessive pleasure and have lost the support of the people for the sake of my beloved sparrow.]

[Jing Yuan: I merely made my judgment.]

[Kaveh: It's this kind of scene activating the Remembrance in the light cone again.]

[Alhaitham: No matter how many times I see it, I'm always surprised.]

[Nahida: I wonder to what extent the power of the Path of Remembrance must be used to achieve what Luo Feng is doing now.]

[Paimon: This is General Jing Yuan's past!]

[Lumine: It seems they are discussing some military secret.]

[Uncle Tian: Yes, and General Jing Yuan seems to have made some major decision.]

[Kaiya: This kind of decision seems so significant that if not handled well, it could leave a bad reputation in history.]

[Kujou Sara: Is this General from the Xianzhou a bit too leisurely?]

[Diluc: This kind of temperament is quite similar to yours, Kaiya.]

[Kaiya: Don't say that about me here. I am just a Cavalry Captain, I can't compare to General Jing Yuan who commands a Xianzhou.]

[Kaiya: Moreover, General Jing Yuan probably only looks leisurely. Perhaps his mind has never stopped thinking.]

[Kaiya: To achieve something, he would make such a decision that might leave a bad name in history. General Jing Yuan is also someone who dares to bear the burden.]

[Kujou Sara:...]

[Charlotte: It's a pity I can't see more information.

If I could understand more about General Jing Yuan's past on the Xianzhou, the next issue of the newspaper would definitely sell well.]

[Navia: You could try asking Lord Luo Feng to view the Remembrance Bubbles.

You'd likely see more of General Jing Yuan's past, provided that General Jing Yuan agrees to the trade.]

[Charlotte: That's right! But, would Lord Luo Feng be willing to let others view the Remembrance Bubbles?]

[Navia: That's unclear.]

...

"It's truly a scene to reminisce about."

"Luo Feng, where did you get this light cone?"

"No, more importantly, are you going to give it to me?"

Jing Yuan asked.

After seeing Luo Feng activate the Remembrance within [Before Dawn], Jing Yuan was even more certain that it was his exclusive light cone.

Similarly, he could increasingly feel the power contained within the light cone.If he could possess this light cone, his strength wouldn't just double.

At the very least, it would give him more strategies when facing the powerful enemies he had encountered before.

"My original intention was to lend it to you, but it's not impossible to give it to you entirely."

"The condition is that you need to make a trade with me."

 Luo Feng said.

Jing Yuan: "A trade?"

 Luo Feng nodded slightly:

"That's right, a trade concerning Remembrance."

"A Remembrance trade?"

Jing Yuan's face showed doubt.

"I will use some Memokeeper methods. I met Jingliu before and traded with her for memories related to the High-Cloud Quintet."

"However, her memories cannot completely cover the history of the High-Cloud Quintet after all."

"General Jing Yuan, as one of the High-Cloud Quintet, I hope to complete the Remembrance Bubbles of the High-Cloud Quintet's memories in my possession with what I get from you...."

 Luo Feng said.

"I see..."

Jing Yuan rested his cheek on one hand, falling into thought.

He naturally had some understanding of the Memokeeper's methods.

However, he didn't expect that one day a Memokeeper would propose a Remembrance trade to him.

And the one who proposed this trade was Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, you truly are surprising."

"You even possess Memorys power?"

Jing Yuan sighed with emotion and said.

"A skill learned through destined encounters."

"How about it, are you willing to accept this trade?"

Luo Feng smiled, used Memorys power to create a brand new Remembrance bubble, and displayed it before Jing Yuan.

"As the General of Xianzhou Luofu, you must have many secrets you don't wish others to know."

"I understand this."

"Therefore, I don't intend to arbitrarily take your memories."

"If you agree, you only need to take this Remembrance bubble and store the memories related to the High-Cloud Quintet within it."

"Oh right, starting from the time you were taken as a disciple by Jingliu."

Luo Feng said.

Jing Yuan: "Aren't you worried I might be lazy and not put enough memories into this Remembrance bubble?"

Luo Feng: "I believe the reputation of the Loufu General wouldn't allow him to fob me off with something like this."

Hearing these words and glancing at the unique light cone in his hand, Jing Yuan finally nodded.

"Since Luo Feng you trust me so much, I shall accept straightforwardly."

With the light cone, he could protect Loufu more securely.

The cost of just some memories was acceptable to Jing Yuan.

"In that case, this light cone [Before Dawn] and this Remembrance bubble are yours."

"Once you have stored all the memories related to the High-Cloud Quintet, I will come back to claim them."

After handing the light cone and Remembrance bubble to Jing Yuan, Luo Feng waved to everyone, and his figure disappeared into the light of Trailblaze.

"To think that one day, I would also possess such an excellent unique light cone."

"It seems I can support Loufu for a while longer."

Jing Yuan murmured to himself, then looked at Ningguang, Zhongli, and the others before him."

I still need some time to complete the transaction with Luo Feng."

"I won't see you off."

"If you wish to meet up with Stelle, March 7th, and the other Trailblazer."

"You only need to go to the coordinates I gave you earlier."

Jing Yuan said.

Hearing this, Ningguang, Keqing, Zhongli, and the others also did not linger and left the Seat of Divine Foresight one after another.

"To think that Zhongli, you would also be chosen."

"And you even temporarily borrowed Luo Feng's light cone."

"Luo Feng recognized you so much, could it be that you usually hide your skills?"

Walking on the street towards the Starskiff dock, Hu Tao curiously skipped over to Zhongli's side.

"The Director is joking, I probably just happened to fit the power of this light cone."

Zhongli shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Neuvillette, who was talking with Ningguang and Keqing, silently glanced at Zhongli.

However, remembering their previous agreement, he did not say much.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata Buer also took a deep look at Zhongli.

She could naturally see through Zhongli's identity, but being as intelligent as she was, she also guessed that Zhongli wanted to hide his identity.

So, besides wanting to find an opportunity to chat with Zhongli privately, she did not publicly reveal the fact that Zhongli was actually Morax.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter, you have Gexia Luo Feng's light cone."

"You must protect me well from now on, Zhongli Keqing."

Hu Tao said.

"Compared to me, the Director has the chance to walk a Path and gain The Power of Destiny."

"Perhaps, you don't need my protection."

Zhongli said.

"Path, ah, although I do have Luo Feng's Blessing."

"But I have no clue about walking any Path at all."

Hu Tao sighed, looking at Qiqi, who was closely following Baizhu.

Hu Tao: "Hey, Qiqi, what kind of The Power of Destiny do you plan to obtain?"

Qiqi: "I don't know."

"You're the same as me, ah." 

Hu Tao scratched her hair and looked at Zhongli:

"Zhongli, what Path's power do you think I am most likely to obtain, in terms of universal rationality?"

Zhongli shook his head and said:

"What Path one can walk depends on a person's inner heart."

"Instead of asking me, you should ask your own heart, Director."

Hearing this, Hu Tao sighed deeply:

"That's true, but my understanding of Aeons and Paths is limited to Luo Feng's popular science."

"In the end, I still lack sufficient understanding of Aeons, Paths, and so on."

"If you ask me what Path I can walk deep down, I have no confidence either."

Ningguang nodded in agreement:

"If there is anyone who can more intuitively guess what kind of Path we might walk."

"Perhaps, it would only be Gexia Luo Feng."

"Luo Feng?" Hu Tao's eyes lit up, "I wonder if I ask Luo Feng, would he be willing to answer me."

....

Chapter 287 Phantylia: The Astral Express has The Ambrosial Arbor? You must be joking!

Xianzhou, Starwatcher Avenue.

"She really is a mischievous little girl."

Luo Feng said with a light chuckle, watching Hu Tao's performance in the forum live stream.

"And you, are a mischievous big girl."

"Kafka, I'm already here, are you still hiding?"

"Otherwise, how about I open this treasure chest you left a mark on?"

Luo Feng looked at the treasure chest with a lipstick mark on it and said.

"That would make things very difficult for me."

"Therefore, please Gexia Luo Feng do not do that."

As a mature female voice appeared, Kafka walked out from her hiding place.

This was the treasure chest she left for Stelle according to Elio's prophecy.

She did not want any deviation in the prophecy here.

Although Luo Feng's appearance had actually caused many things to be different.

"We meet again, Kafka, you are as beautiful as ever."

"It's a pleasure to see you."

Luo Feng said.

For him, although the Xianzhou was large, it was not difficult for him, possessing Kafka's template, to find Kafka.

Moreover, Luo Feng was familiar with the plot.

He could still guess which area of Xianzhou Luofu Kafka would likely appear in at this point in time.

Kafka: "I'm also very happy to see you, Luo Feng."

Luo Feng: "Really?"

Kafka: "Haha, it really is true."

That being said, Kafka knew in her heart that she really didn't want to see Luo Feng.

Compared to her, Luo Feng was simply too big of a variable.

"Let's just assume that's the case."

Luo Feng shrugged and said.

"Luo Feng, may I ask why you came here?"

Kafka asked.

Thinking of the scene where Luo Feng appeared in Herta's space, which was different from Elio's prophecy, Kafka felt a strange unease in her heart.

"Don't make that kind of face, Kafka."

"I've said it before, I'm also a member of the Astral Express, for now."

"Since you trust the Astral Express on Himeko's side, you should trust me too, right?"

"I came here simply because I wanted to meet you, an old acquaintance."

Luo Feng said.

"That being said, I've only met you once, Luo Feng."

Kafka said.

"How heartless," Luo Feng said, spreading his hands.

"Alright, the reason I came here is that there's something else I need to tell you."

"You should know that I'm currently working as a tour guide, right?"

Kafka nodded slightly.

"Actually, I've already brought a new batch of tourists to the Xianzhou Luofu."

"And those Xianzhou tourists of mine want to witness Elio's prophetic ability with their own eyes."

"So they joined the team of Trailblazer and others searching for you."

"I hope you won't be too surprised when you see my tourists then."

"Also, if you resort to force, don't kill them."

Luo Feng said.

"Witness Elio's prophetic ability?"

 Kafka frowned slightly.

"Luo Feng, what are you saying? I don't quite understand."

Luo Feng waved his hand and pointed to the treasure chest with Kafka's lipstick mark on it.

"Isn't that Elio's prophecy?"

"He prophesied that Star would pass through here and take the treasure from the chest."

"So you deliberately left your mark on this treasure chest so that Stelle could find you."

"Besides these, you have already left similar marks in other places, or will leave marks in certain places, right?"

Kafka: "..."

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Kafka fell completely silent.For a long time, she couldn't speak again.

"Seeing you like this, I came at the right time."

"If my passengers were to say similar things after meeting you..."

"You might accidentally get serious with them, right?"

Luo Feng said, arms crossed.Kafka pursed her lips, knowing that Luo Feng was right.

If someone other than Elio's prophecy suddenly appeared and even stated that the mark she left on the treasure chest was also a prophecy...She would probably accidentally show her true nature.

"Luo Feng, how do you know about Elio's prophecy?"

"Also, to what extent do you know?"

Kafka took a deep breath and asked.

"How I know is a secret."

"To what extent I know is also a secret."

Luo Feng said.

He couldn't possibly tell Kafka that he knew through playing a game.

"In short, it's enough that you know I have no ill intentions towards you."

"You will probably put on a performance and fight with Star, March 7th, and the others later."

"If my tourists also join in, I hope you won't teach them too harsh a lesson."

Luo Feng said.

Kafka nodded

.Since she knew those people were Luo Feng's tourists, she naturally wouldn't dare to actually do anything to Hu Tao and the others.

"Besides these things, do you have anything else?"

Kafka asked.

"As for other things, I might need to discuss a trade with Blade later."

Luo Feng said, informing Kafka of his plan to obtain the complete memories of the High-Cloud Quintet.

Just as Luo Feng expected, after hearing what Luo Feng said, Kafka's face indeed showed a surprised expression.

"Luo Feng, do you really possess the power of those Memokeepers from Garden of Recollection?"

Kafka asked, frowning her beautiful brows.

"If you don't believe me, how about you also have a Remembrance trade with me?"

Luo Feng took out a Remembrance bubble and said to Kafka.

"Let's not."

Kafka shook her head. Seeing that Luo Feng could produce a Remembrance bubble, she understood that Luo Feng hadn't lied.

"Blade probably won't be willing to trade with you."

Kafka said.

"Haha, let's discuss that after I meet him."

"Maybe he will be willing, you never know."

Luo Feng smiled and said.

Using conventional methods, it was indeed unlikely that Blade would agree to a trade.

Luo Feng himself understood this.

However, based on his understanding of Blade, it wasn't impossible to find a way to trade.

Looking into Luo Feng's eyes, Kafka knew he wasn't lying.

Because of this, she could only sigh inwardly.

"Luo Feng, if you don't have anything else, I'll continue with my preparations."

Kafka said.

"Suit yourself, but you don't mind if I temporarily stay and wait to watch the show, do you?"

Luo Feng smiled.

"I don't mind. It's a good opportunity, I also want to understand you more, Luo Feng."

Even if she minded, Kafka knew very well that she couldn't drive Luo Feng away.

Moreover, looking at the situation, Luo Feng would be involved in Elio's plan for a long time to come.

Kafka had a premonition that in their future actions, the Stellaron Hunters would have many unavoidable interactions with Luo Feng.

Since that was the case, instead of continuing to avoid Luo Feng, Kafka thought it would be better to understand him more.

At least, to understand clearly whether Luo Feng possessed other powers besides Spirit Whisper, Aether Editing, Memokeeper, and other abilities.

"The pleasure is all mine."

Luo Feng smiled and walked forward along the street side by side with Kafka.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Sea of Starsails Nexus.

"Tingyun, next we should set off to search for Kafka, right?"

March 7th, Stelle, and Welt Yang found Tingyun again and asked.

"Benefactors, do not be anxious. I received news earlier."

"There will be other helpers coming to assist us."

Tingyun fanned herself and said with a smile.

"Other helpers?"

"Are there other helpers besides the little lion?"

March 7th looked at the Artificers Workshop creation Tingyun borrowed to find things on the ground and asked in confusion.

"Yes, as far as I know, they are guests from the Astral Express, just like you."

Tingyun said.

"Guests from the Astral Express?"

"Is it Luo Feng?!"

Stelle quickly asked.

"It must be Luo Feng."

"Himeko sent a message earlier telling us that Luo Feng had brought tourists to the Xianzhou."

"Great, with him here, no matter what Stellaron Hunter Kafka is, we will definitely be able to catch her."

March 7th said excitedly.

"With Luo Feng's strength, no matter what happens on the Starcruiser next,"

"It won't cause too serious consequences."

Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and said.

"Is this Mr. Luo Feng very powerful?"

"When the three Benefactors mentioned him, they seemed to trust him very much."

Tingyun asked curiously.

"Of course, even the Doomsday Beast is just a small plaything in front of him."

"That's great, I wish I could be as amazing as Luo Feng."

March 7th clasped her hands together and said enviously.

"Strength surpassing the Doomsday Beast, that is indeed very powerful."

"However, as far as I know, the danger of the Stellaron Hunters seems to be no less than that of the Doomsday Beast, right?"

Hearing March 7th's remarks about the Doomsday Beast, a light flashed in Tingyun's eyes, and she said.

"Hehe, you don't know about this."

"Luo Feng is someone who holds the power of the Trailblaze."

"Even Herta, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei show him great respect."

"Oh, and by the way, even the Ambrosial Arbor on your Xianzhou Luofu, Luo Feng's Astral Express also has a similar one."

March 7th said excitedly.

"Holding the power of the Trailblaze? And the people from the Genius Society also show him great respect. Is he a Emanator of Trailblaze?"

"But, even so, why would there be something similar to the Ambrosial Arbor on his Astral Express?"

Tingyun asked in confusion.

"Hehe, it's hard to believe, right?"

"That's just how it is."

"Let me tell you quietly, the 'Ambrosial Arbor' on Luo Feng's Astral Express is small, but it is a living 'Ambrosial Arbor'."

"Moreover, Luo Feng can also use his own power to suppress its growth."

March 7th said with a smile.

March 7th is a Trailblazer, and Luo Feng is the Trailblaze.

When mentioning Luo Feng, March 7th naturally felt a sense of pride.

"A living Ambrosial Arbor?"

"That Mr. Luo Feng can also suppress its growth?"

"How is that possible?"

Tingyun shook her head, instinctively not believing what March 7th said.

A living Ambrosial Arbor is a symbol of Yaoshi the Abundance's power.

Even the Dragon Lord of the Vidyadhara had to use ancient sea water to seal the Ambrosial Arbor that had been damaged by Lan the Hunt.

Even if Luo Feng is a Emanator of Trailblaze, he wouldn't have the power to suppress the growth of a living Ambrosial Arbor.

Even if that Ambrosial Arbor is much smaller than the Xianzhou's Ambrosial Arbor.

March 7th's words made Tingyun even feel that Luo Feng was not a Emanator.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't believe it."

"When you meet Luo Feng, you'll see how amazing he is."

March 7th smiled and said.Xing nodded in agreement.Just at this moment, a mature voice came over.

"Hello, Mr. Welt Yang, Miss March 7th, Miss Xing."

"I am Buer, the Librarian on Luo Feng's Astral Express. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata Buer led Ningguang, Neuvillette, and their group to Tingyun, Welt Yang, and the others, and said with a smile.

"Librarian?"

"Does Luo Feng's Astral Express have its own passengers now?"

"Not the tourist kind?"

March 7th looked at Greater Lord Rukkhadevata curiously.

"Yes, I am now a Trailblazer of the Astral Express, just like you."

"These few beside me are the passengers who came from Teyvat to Xianzhou Luofu this time on ."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata nodded slightly and introduced Zhongli, Neuvillette, Ningguang, and the others to March 7th and the rest one by one.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."Welt Yang nodded to the people in front of him.

When he looked at Zhongli, his gaze paused for a moment.

"Where is Luo Feng? Why isn't Luo Feng here?"

After scanning everyone present, Xing looked at Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in confusion.

" Luo Feng asked me to temporarily represent him and lead the tourists to act with you."

"He said he planned to walk around Xianzhou Luofu alone."

"Miss Xing doesn't need to worry, Lord Luo Feng is still on the Starcruiser, you will meet."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata knew about Xing's affection for Luo Feng through the Teyvat Forum livestream, so she comforted her.

Hearing this, Xing's heart felt a little more at ease.

"It seems I won't be able to witness the greatness of that Mr. Luo Feng for the time being."

"Next, I still look forward to all the Benefactors showcasing their skills in the process of capturing Kafka."

Tingyun said to Welt Yang, March 7th, and Xing.

"Benefactor?"Yae Miko raised her eyebrows and looked at Tingyun with a scrutinizing gaze.

March 7th: "No way, it seems I still need to show off my skills."

Welt Yang: "Although Luo Feng is not here, he has arranged for other passengers to help.

I think we will be a little more relaxed later."

"I hope so."

 Tingyun looked at Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and the others:

"It will be hard on everyone to help later as well."

"Speaking of which, you've been staring at me since earlier."

"Do we know each other?"

"Strange, you seem different from the usual Foxian tribe."

Tingyun looked at Yae Miko and asked curiously.

"After all, I am not a native of the Xianzhou, but a Fox from another world, so naturally I will be different from the Foxian tribe here."

Yae Miko smiled at Tingyun and said.

"So that's how it is."

Tingyun nodded thoughtfully, looked at Welt Yang and the others, and said:

"Since all the reinforcements arranged by General Jing Yuan have arrived."

"Then let's set off, Benefactor."

Hearing this, March 7th and the others naturally had no objections.

It was Yae Miko who, hearing Tingyun say "Benefactor" again, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Could the person Luo Feng mentioned before be her?

This "Benefactor" indeed has quite a flavor.

However, she doesn't seem to know Luo Feng.

If the person Luo Feng mentioned was her, why would Luo Feng pay attention to her?

Is there anything about her that is worth Lord Luo Feng's concern?

Yae Miko narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.

Although she couldn't be sure if the person Luo Feng spoke of was Tingyun, her attention had already fallen on Tingyun.

...

Chapter 288: Elio's prophecy shocks Teyvat; Kafka uses Spirit Whisper to intimidate Teyvat Passengers

Xianzhou, Starwatcher Avenue.

"I didn't expect the Starwatcher Avenue's astrolabe to also be out of order."

"This way, Starskiff production will probably stop for a week or two."

"But this way, it saves me from the task of accompanying the delegation."

Tingyun led the group onto the ground of Starwatcher Avenue, looking at the scenery ahead with emotion and saying.

"Miss Tingyun is truly leisurely, aren't you worried about the current situation on the Xianzhou?"

Yae Miko asked curiously.

"Not at all, I am a merchant after all, and merchants are particular about not showing their emotions."

"If I were to show all my emotions, I couldn't be the leader of this Mínghuǒ Merchant Guild."

"Besides, the Xianzhou Alliance has gone through many things."

"The current matter, although troublesome, is probably not a big deal."

Tingyun waved her hand and said.

"As a merchant, it is indeed necessary to be particular about not showing emotions."

"Miss Tingyun must be a very excellent merchant."

Miss Ningguang said.

"Miss Ningguang, where did you get that idea? I can feel your shrewdness, you must also be very skilled in trade."

Tingyun smiled at Miss Ningguang, then looked at Welt Yang, Stelle, March 7th, and the others.

"But let me say this first, if we really encounter Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters, please Benefactors handle the capture yourselves."

"I am just a weak, pitiful, and helpless weak woman."

"All I can do for you is probably just tremble on the sidelines, cheer you on, and so on."Tingyun said.

[Arataki Itto: Good heavens, suddenly seeing a fox-like girl who resembles Yae Miko saying something like this, I suddenly feel quite uncomfortable.]

[Yoimiya: I have to say, me too.]

[Diluc: To be able to admit one's weakness so frankly, that can also be considered a kind of strength.]

[Kaeya: No matter how weak, she should still be a Pathstrider.At least, she is stronger than tourists who have not yet embarked on a Path.]

[Gorou: So, she is the type of Pathstrider who is not good at combat?]

[Arataki Itto: Is that really the case? But why do I always feel like she's lying?]

[Arataki Itto: That's strange, is it because she's similar to Yae Miko that I'm having these thoughts?]

[Lumine: To some extent, this one is somewhat similar to Yae Miko, both a bit "scummy".]

[Lisa: Little darling, you shouldn't say that.]

"Let's keep going, everyone."

"Kafka might be waiting for us somewhere here."

Tingyun said to everyone, looking curiously at Mona beside her who was muttering the words "treasure chest" to herself.

"That lady over there, Starwatcher Avenue is a port, not ruins."

"There are no treasure chests here for you to find."

Tingyun said.

"S-sorry, I was just trying to look."

Mona rubbed the back of her head, speaking with slight embarrassment.

Tingyun nodded, didn't say much more, and turned to lead the group to continue moving.

However, after they had walked a distance, a treasure chest indeed appeared before their eyes.

"This... didn't you say there were no treasure chests?"

March 7th looked at Tingyun in confusion.

"Strange, could it be goods lost by someone?"

Tingyun frowned, muttering to herself

."Let me see, let me see."

"Huh! There's a handprint on the treasure chest."

"Could it be Kafka's handprint?"

Mona said in surprise.

"Kafka's handprint?"

Stelle stepped forward and reached out to open the treasure chest.

It revealed the treasure inside and a note hidden within the treasure.

[Do you like it? Here's a reward.]

"She actually wrote something like this."

"As expected, was it left by that woman Kafka?"

Hu Tao exclaimed.

"Kafka seems to have anticipated our actions."

"Everyone, be careful with your next steps."

Welt Yang glanced at Mona, who seemed to be thinking about something, and spoke.

Can Elio really accurately predict that the treasure is in a certain place?

Can he really predict that Stelle and March 7th would be able to find this place?

No, I need to find more evidence.

Thinking this, Mona shook her head and quickly stepped forward to follow Welt Yang and Stelle as they continued searching for Kafka.

And just as Luo Feng had predicted, although Kafka had not yet been found by the group.

Many treasure chests with traces left by Kafka fell into their hands.

...

"This... is there a clue in this bottle too?"

After some time, Mona looked at Stelle and the others stopped in front of a bottle, swallowed, and said.

"Open it and you'll know."

Stelle said, hitting the bottle with a baseball bat.

As the bottle shattered, a hand grenade appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is... a hand grenade stained with lipstick?"

Miss Ningguang raised her eyebrows and said.

"There's also a note that says... [A small gift for the lost...]"

Keqing said.

"This is infuriating, this woman is clearly provoking us."

March 7th said unhappily.

[Alice: Now we can really be sure, Kafka definitely knows Stelle's movements, and she knows more than just a little.]

[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Or rather, Elio knows the movements of Stelle and the others.]

[Kaeya: Luo Feng is correct, Elio's prophetic ability is indeed terrifying.]

[Clorinde: To even know where Stelle, March 7th, and the others might stop at a corner, this ability is simply too unreasonable.]

[Lumine: But this kind of ability would be great for finding treasure chests, wouldn't it?]

[Paimon: Right, right, with this ability, we'll definitely have endless treasure chests to open.]

[Kuki Shinobu: If this Elio were to use his ability to predict a person's life, would he be able to see through everything about that person?]

[Arataki Itto: Eh, that feels a bit scary.]

[Barbeloth: Elio, huh? I really want to meet him. I wonder what kind of being he is.]

[Alice: Elio is actually one of the Stellaron Hunters. Given the current movements of the Stellaron Hunters, they are bound to overlap with Luo Feng's movements, aren't they?]

[Barbeloth: So, as long as I follow Lord Luo Feng's perspective, I'll eventually get to see Elio?]

[Alice: Exactly. But rather than Elio, I'm more curious about what the Path of Finalityis all about.

Unfortunately, no Tivat Person has walked the Path of Termination yet.]

[Barbeloth: The Path of Termination, huh... If Mona currently had Luo Feng's 'Blessing', would she be able to obtain The Power of Destiny of the Path of Termination?]

Mona was currently unaware that she was being talked about by her Master; her eyes were filled with the items she had found that Kafka had left traces on.

" Luo Feng was right, Elio's prophetic ability is indeed very comprehensive."

"Even for something as small as where we will pause, Elio can predict it.

"Mona murmured to herself.

"Elio, the slave of Destiny, huh? It is said that he indeed possesses prophetic abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people."

"So, the reason she left these clues is because she wanted to create a diversion?"

Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and said.

"I think she just wanted to deliberately tease us."

March 7th snorted and said.

"After all, she's a wanted criminal with a high bounty from the Company, yet no one has ever been able to apprehend her."

"It's normal for her to be very troublesome."

"I heard that the 'Yepera Brotherhood' within the Annihilation Gang was destroyed because of Kafka."

"If possible, I really hope such a troublesome person doesn't come to the Starcruiser."

Tingyun said."

The Annihilation Gang?"

"Are you referring to the Annihilation Gang that planned to cause trouble for Luo Feng?"

Mona asked.

"The Annihilation Gang planned to cause trouble for Luo Feng?"

Hearing this, Stelle immediately looked over.

"No way, are they seeking death?"

March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

"Excuse me, when did this happen?"

Welt Yang asked curiously.

"Ah, that's a long story."

"Let's talk as we walk."

Buer said.

Stelle, March 7th, and the others nodded, continuing on their way based on the clues left by Kafka, while listening to Buer recount the events concerning Duke Inferno that occurred at Herta Space Station.

And this scene was heard by Kafka, who had been observing Stelle and her group from afar.

"Duke Inferno, huh? He's truly a courageous man."

"He's actually going to attack Belobog, which you protect?"

Kafka put down her binoculars and looked at Luo Feng beside her, saying.

"It's just a pity that guy is a bit slow."

"He still hasn't come knocking, which is a bit disappointing."

"I wonder if that guy has already been killed by someone else."

Luo Feng thought of the game information about Huang Quan slicing Duke Inferno, and said disappointedly.

Although he wasn't interested in Duke Inferno, he was quite interested in his two daughters.

"The people of the Annihilation Gang are all lunatics."

"Not to mention someone who dares to challenge you."

"If Duke Inferno encounters a strong person in the Universe, he might really be killed.

"Kafka patted the dust off her pants and stood up from the container she was sitting on.

"It's about time. That person from the Divination Commission should be here by now. I should also go guide the Astral Express crew to where they need to go."

"Luo Feng, it was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope we have another chance in the future."

Kafka said.

Chatting with Luo Feng, although she didn't learn too much.But she at least confirmed that Luo Feng indeed had no intention of interfering with the Stellaron Hunters' plan.

For Kafka, that was enough.

"There will be a chance. After all, in a sense, you are also the protagonists."

Luo Feng smiled meaningfully and said.

"Indeed, you know things in great detail."

Kafka gave him a deep look, then jumped down from the container and hurried to the location specified in Elio's prophecy.

"If you have time, feel free to give my tourists some training."

"Of course, don't go too far, Kafka."

Luo Feng said, looking at Kafka's retreating figure.

Kafka waved her hand behind her and soon disappeared from Luo Feng's sight

....

"So that's what happened at Herta Space Station while we were away."

"It's a good thing Miss Asta is alright. That Duke Inferno is truly detestable."

March 7th said, clenching her fists after listening to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's narration.

"Since the Stellaron Hunters have already destroyed the Annihilation Gang's Yepera Brotherhood, that Duke Inferno won't go looking for trouble with Luo Feng, right?"

Stelle said.

"Not exactly. Although Duke Inferno is also part of the Annihilation Gang, he belongs to another branch, the 'Eternal Fire Manor'."

Welt Yang shook his head and said.

"So, that Duke Inferno will still go looking for trouble with Luo Feng?"

Stelle frowned tightly.

"Oh my, are you worried about Luo Feng?"

"That makes me a little jealous."

Suddenly, a voice full of temptation sounded from not far away.

Everyone looked up and were surprised to find that Kafka, whom they were looking for, had already appeared before them.

"She actually appeared! Stellaron Hunter Kafka!"

March 7th exclaimed.

"The prophecy really pointed us here to her."

Mona's wide eyes stared intently at Kafka

"There are more people than expected."

"Presumably, you are Luo Feng's passengers."

Hearing Mona's voice, Kafka turned to look at Mona, Keqing, Ningguang, and the others.

As she finished speaking, Kafka's eyes widened slightly, and Ningguang, Keqing, and the other passengers immediately felt a surge of pressure.

She had not forgotten what Luo Feng had said earlier.

Since Luo Feng allowed her to give the passengers certain challenges, she naturally wouldn't do nothing.

"This one looks much more dangerous in person than through the image."

Yae Miko said cautiously.Ningguang, Keqing, Zhongli, and Neuvillette all nodded inwardly.

Although Kafka was just standing there, she gave them a very dangerous feeling.

Even Zhongli, who had already embarked on a Path, felt a sense of powerlessness when facing Kafka.

"[Listen to me], I am your companion, and they are your enemies."

A purple light flashed in Kafka's eyes as she uttered the words of Spirit Whisper.

As the words fell, the power of Spirit Whisper enveloped everyone except Tingyun, Stelle, March 7th, Welt Yang, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Tingyun, Xing, March 7th, and Welt Yang were all within Elio's prophecy, and Kafka had previously heard about Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, this Astral Express employee, from Luo Feng.

These two types of people did not need her to give them trials.

As Kafka activated the power of Spirit Whisper, Yae Miko, Ningguang, and the others immediately felt their bodies uncontrollably pick up weapons and turn towards Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, March 7th, Tingyun, Xing, and Welt Yang.

Afterward, even their consciousness fell into chaos.

Keqing, who had already embarked on the trailblazers path through Luo Feng's Blessing, and Xiao, who had embarked on the the Hunt, resisted for a moment.

But soon, the two also followed in the footsteps of Ningguang, Yae Miko, and the others.

Among the passengers, only Zhongli, who had already embarked on a Path and held Luo Feng's light cone, could temporarily control his body.

Even so, Zhongli could clearly feel the power of Kafka's Spirit Whisper.

Combining the power of the light cone, he could only temporarily maintain control of his body,

while Kafka's Spirit Whisper was still constantly forcing him to act against his will,

and even constantly mobilizing the power belonging to the Devil God and preservation power that he had suppressed.

For a time, the golden halo on Zhongli's body resisting the power of Spirit Whisper became increasingly intense.

....

Chapter 289: How could Zhongli be the Geo Archon? He's just imitating the Geo Archon!

[Furina: No... no way, Neuvillette was actually directly controlled?]

[Wriothesley: It's truly unbelievable, but considering the opponent is Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters, it doesn't seem entirely unacceptable.]

[Servant: Is Neuvillette, the Chief Justice, only capable of this before Kafka?

That's right, after all, even Xiao, Keqing, and others who have embarked on Paths are still unable to resist.]

[Tartaglia: So many Vision holders were controlled in just an instant; seeing this really makes one feel complicated.]

[Dr.: Even those who already possess Path Power cannot resist before Kafka; to what extent has the power of the Stellaron Hunters reached?]

[La Signora: Needless to say, it must be freakishly strong.

Although I shouldn't care about these guys,wouldn't Kafka worry about Luo Feng reappearing and controlling her with the power of Spirit Whisper since she's attacking Luo Feng's tourists?]

[Chef Mao: What does this Kafka want to do by controlling Xiao and others?]

[Servant: Controlling Neuvillette, Keqing, and others at this time is simply to use them to fight.]

[Servant: Speaking of which, Xiao and Keqing, who possess Path Power, and that Neuvillette have all been controlled,

but Zhongli is still resisting; he seems to be very skilled at using light cones.]

[Dehya: I somehow feel that the current situation is a bit like when Candace used the power of the light cone to resist Duke Inferno's teleportation flames before.]

[Tartaglia: That's quite a move, Mr. Zhongli. I imagine his power would be very strong even if he didn't use the light cone.]

[Jean: As expected of someone Luo Feng acknowledged as capable of using the Preservation light cone.]

With Keqing, Xiao, and others as a comparison for Zhongli, many Tivat People immediately focused their attention on him.

Everyone praised Zhongli in the forum.

However, what everyone didn't know was that Zhongli himself was not as relaxed and at ease as they thought.

.......

Is this the power of Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters?

If this continues, his human identity might not be preserved.

Zhongli could clearly feel that if this continued, he would have to use the power of the Devil God.

Thinking of this, Zhongli's heart tightened, and he immediately summoned the power of the light cone as much as possible,

attempting to use this power to resist Kafka's Spirit Whisper.

"Oh? Interesting."

Kafka naturally noticed Zhongli's actions.

She looked at Zhongli with interest, and the purple light in her eyes intensified.

Instantly, a stronger power of Spirit Whisper, specifically targeting Zhongli, instantly penetrated the defenses Zhongli had set up around his body,

invading the Devil God power and preservation power power hidden within Zhongli's body.

Under the intensification of the power of Spirit Whisper, Zhongli's Devil God power and preservation power power were instantly activated,

Zhongli's body instinctively summoned these two powers to form rock pillars, used to resist the power of Kafka's Spirit Whisper,

just as Morax in Belobog used the power of preservation power to create shields to resist the ice attacks and Imaginary Energy attacks of the star nucleus Cocolia.

[Lisa: This power is...]

[Dr.: It's the same method that the Geo Archon Morax displayed in Belobog; how interesting.]

[Amber: Yes, that stone pillar is exactly the same as the stone pillar created by the Geo Archon.]

[Eula: When the rock pillar unleashes energy, it seems it can also be used to defend against attacks.]

[Tighnari: Amber, Eula, and others are people who have witnessed the Geo Archon using his power in Belobog,

even they think so, which means the power used by the Geo Archon and Mr. Zhongli is indeed very similar.]

[Wriothesley: So, is Zhongli actually the Geo Archon?]

[Candace: If Zhongli is the Geo Archon, then he is indeed very suitable for using the "material of memory" light cone.]

[Dehya: But Lord Luo Feng didn't say Zhongli was the Geo Archon.]

[Faruzan: But Lord Luo Feng also didn't indicate that Zhongli wasn't the Geo Archon.]

[Chongyun: If Mr. Zhongli is the Geo Archon, then the consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is the Geo Archon...

I cannot imagine the Geo Archon working at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.]

[Iron Tongue Tian: Yes, Rex Lapis couldn't possibly and has no reason to work at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor; even storytelling wouldn't dare write this.]

[Venti: So is there a possibility that Zhongli is just imitating the Geo Archon?]

[Yun Jin: It's not that there's no such possibility; since Mr. Zhongli can be very compatible with the Texture of Memories,

perhaps it is indeed possible for him to imitate Rex Lapis's moves. But... could that really be the case?]

This is troublesome.

Zhongli slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at the shield he had instinctively created.

Even without looking at the Teyvat Forum, he could guess that many people would suspect his identity at this moment.

Before coming to the Xianzhou, he had made plans to prevent his identity from being exposed.

But a plan is just a plan after all; it's not impossible for unexpected events to occur outside of it.Kafka's Spirit Whisper was an unexpected event outside of Zhongli's plan.

Facing this unreasonable strong control power, even if Zhongli wanted to hide his power, it was extremely difficult.

Just as Zhongli was feeling conflicted, Kafka raised her power by a small level again.

Zhongli, who was in a state of conflict, was unable to resist.

Soon, Zhongli, like Neuvillette, Xiao, and others, also turned his attack towards Welt Yang, Stelle, March 7th, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and the other 5 people.

Is this the power of Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters?

It's truly astonishing.

If he had known this earlier, he should have resisted less.

Zhongli sighed in his heart.

Although Kafka attacked them, based on the information about Kafka that he learned from Luo Feng, he didn't feel that Kafka would be an enemy.

And thanks to the Path of Preservation and the light cone Luo Feng had entrusted to him,

although his body was controlled, he did not lose consciousness because of it.

However, to outsiders, his situation was no different from that of Ningguang, Hu Tao, and the other passengers.

......

Teyvat Continent, Akademiya.

"Barbatos, what brings you here to see me?"

Nahida looked at Venti, who was sitting across from her, and asked curiously.

"Having nothing to do, I originally wanted to go chat with the old fellow."

"It's just that he went to the Universe halfway, so I could only come here to take a look."

"And also see how you've been handling the country's issues."

Venti said with a smile.

"So, that Zhongli is indeed Morax?"

Nahida lowered her head slightly, looking at Zhongli on the Teyvat Forum live stream screen."

That's right. He usually walks the streets of Liyue in that identity."

"Just like I usually walk around Mondstadt in the identity of Venti."

Venti said while plucking his lyre.

"Morax, who has already walked the Path, coupled with the light cone containing The Power of Destiny that Luo Feng gave him."

"He still couldn't resist the Spirit Whisper power of Stellaron Hunters Kafka?"

"The power of the Teyvat Continent is indeed very weak before the power of the Universe."

Nahida sighed with emotion.

"That sentence should be more appropriate coming from me."

"After all, both you and Morax have already embarked on a Path."

"And I haven't had the chance to obtain The Power of Destiny yet."

"I wonder when I'll be able to draw a ticket for Luo Feng's number one Astral Express."

Venti spread his hands, saying somewhat helplessly.

"There will always be a chance."

Nahida said.

"You've learned how to comfort people, Nahida."Venti smiled, then continued:

"Speaking of which, what do you think of Neuvillette from Fontaine?"

"Neuvillette?" 

Nahida glanced at Neuvillette, who was also controlled by the Spirit Whisper.

"Although I'm only looking from afar, the feeling he gives me is like the Apep."

Nahida said.

"So, he is indeed the Water Dragon." 

Venti shook his head and murmured:

"The dragons and gods of the Teyvat Continent have no power to resist the might of the Universe."

"Although I had already anticipated it, seeing this scene truly makes my heart feel complicated."

Hearing this, Nahida's eyes narrowed, and she said with determination:

"Therefore, we need to actively engage with the Universe."

"Only by accessing enough 'knowledge' that is beneficial to the Teyvat Continent,"

"can we grow and face the potential cosmic crises that may descend upon the Teyvat Continent in the future."

Pausing, Nahida looked at Venti:

"Barbatos, can you give me a chance to visit Belobog via Mondstadt's Astral Express?"

"I want to see more places outside of Teyvat."

Although Belobog cannot compare to Herta Space Station in terms of knowledge,

fortunately, the people of Belobog are more likely to share knowledge than the researchers at Herta Space Station.

Furthermore, Belobog is now connected to the Universe, and due to Luo Feng's concern, the Company is actively investing heavily in Belobog.

This gives Belobog more opportunities to access high technology.

Although she had already visited Belobog once due to Luo Feng changing the route, this does not prevent her from wanting to see it again.

Venti smiled and nodded:

"You're right, we should indeed go out and see more."

"With you guarding the World Tree, I think we don't need to worry too much about Forbidden Knowledge threatening it."

"As for your idea of wanting to see Belobog, I will discuss it with Acting Grand Master Jean."

"In return, could you also let me visit Herta Space Station via your Astral Express?"

"I also want to experience more new things."

Nahida: "Naturally, you can, Barbatos."

Venti's mouth curved upwards, and he smiled:

"Then, it's a pleasant cooperation. After the train service in Liyue is open,"

"let's also talk to Morax about visiting the Xianzhou."

Nahida nodded slightly, looking at Morax in the forum live stream, and murmured:

"Morax, who has received the Aeon of Preservation's approval, and whom Luo Feng calls highly compatible with that light cone containing the power of Preservation,

is he really unable to do anything when facing Kafka?"

Venti also looked at the screen and said:

"Who knows? I hope he can, even if Kafka isn't using the full power of her Spirit Whisper."

"At least then, when facing the Universe, I can feel a little more at ease."

"However, even if he went to the Xianzhou in the identity of 'Zhongli',"

"even if he could use Luo Feng's light cone to escape Kafka's Spirit Whisper, would he really be willing to do so?"

......

[Chongyun: Mr. Zhongli is also controlled?! He was clearly resisting successfully before!]

[Xingqiu: Kafka's power feels terrifying no matter how many times I see it.]

[Yanfei: After all, Lord Luo Feng also frequently uses this Spirit Whisper power.

The fact that he uses it so often shows how useful this power is in his eyes.]

[Chef Mao: What exactly does that Kafka want to do by controlling Adeptus Xiao and Zhongli? Could it be that she wants them to deal with March 7th and the others?]

[Yelan: Does she mean to make everyone fight each other? This is not good news.]

[Iron Tongue Tian: Can that light cone ultimately not help Zhongli?]

[Dehya: Is it possible that if Zhongli continues to channel the light cone, he can break free from the Spirit Whisper's control?]

[Candace: To activate a light cone, the user's own will is required.

If Zhongli's will has been controlled by Kafka, he probably can't activate the light cone.]

[Hanxue: I thought that this Zhongli, being so highly regarded by Lord Luo Feng, must possess quite formidable abilities.

With the light cone, even if he's not as good as Rex Lapis, he should definitely be able to perform to some extent.]

[Yixuan: That's right! If the Rock God of Liyue were here, his performance would absolutely not be this pathetic.]

[Furina: Uh, who are you two? How can you be so sure that the Geo Archon's performance would be better than Zhongli's?]

[Wanyan: These two are archaeologists from Liyue who specialize in researching the history of the Geo Archon.]

[Hanxue: That's right, among humans, we understand Rex Lapis the most.]

[Yixuan: Rex Lapis himself possesses sufficient great power, and with the power of the Path, he must be even stronger.

Presumably, even if Rex Lapis did not hold Luo Feng's light cone, he would still be able to perform better than Zhongli, who does hold the light cone.]

[Furina: Uh, I don't think so.]

[Yixuan: Water God Gexia, do you think we are wrong?]

[Hanxue: After all, Ms. Furina is the second generation Water God, and in terms of understanding the Geo Archon, she is inevitably not as knowledgeable as us.

On this point, please trust our judgment, Ms. Furina.]

[Furina:...I don't want to talk to you two anymore. I just feel like something terrible will happen to you.]

Furina shook her head and looked back at Zhongli on the screen.

If Luo Feng hadn't brought Zhongli to Fontaine, she might have believed what Hanxue and Yixuan said.

Unfortunately, she already knew Zhongli's true identity through Luo Feng, so she naturally wouldn't be affected by what Hanxue and Yixuan said.

"If these two knew that Zhongli was Rex Lapis, their expressions would definitely be ugly."

"Speaking of which, since this Kafka is so powerful, Zhongli won't end up being unable to hide his identity, right?"

Furina murmured.

......

Chapter 290: Entering the Illusion, Guizhong Appears; Zhongli Reveals His Devil God Power!

[Tartaglia: It's a pity, Mr. Zhongli can only utilize the light cone to this extent in the end.

If I could try out the light cone given by Luo Feng, perhaps I could give a different answer.]

[La Signora: Don't flatter yourself, Childe.You are not at all suited for a light cone possessing the power of Preservation.]

[Tartaglia: That's truly disheartening to hear.

Also, I don't think Luo Feng only holds light cones containing the power of Preservation; he should have other light cones as well.]

[La Signora: Hmph! Even if he does, Luo Feng might not necessarily give it to you to use.]

After letting out a cold snort inwardly, La Signora stopped paying attention to Tartaglia and instead focused her gaze on Zhongli.

Thanks to the growth brought by the Path, she could indeed see Zhongli's extraordinary nature.

To be able to achieve this level, even with Luo Feng's light cone, is not easy.

This Zhongli, his identity should not be that of an ordinary guest of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Could it be, he is really the Geo Archon?

No, how could the Geo Archon possibly be a guest at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?

Could it be that he is an adeptus who follows the Geo Archon?

If he is an adeptus, he would have sufficient understanding of the Geo Archon.

Coupled with that light cone, perhaps he can indeed imitate the Geo Archon's moves.

If he is truly an adeptus, during the mission to seize the Geo Archon's Gnosis, I need to pay extra attention to this person.

Thinking of this, and also the fact that Morax had already embarked on a Path, La Signora couldn't help but sigh.

"I hope The Tsaritsa's plan can succeed."

La Signora murmured to herself, then temporarily cleared her mind and refocused her attention on Zhongli, Welt Yang, Kafka, and the others.

At this moment, Kafka had finished reminiscing with Stelle and was ready to throw the passengers under her control, such as Zhongli, Neuvillette, and others, into battle against Welt Yang and the others.

"Benefactors, please be careful."

"They are about to attack."

Tingyun, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless, hid behind Welt Yang, Stelle, March 7th, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, saying with a worried expression.

"I already see it."

"Damn it, to make companions attack us, that's too cunning."

March 7th, holding her bow, looked angrily in Kafka's direction.

"No, my power cannot lift Kafka's control over them."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata said with difficulty.

Even though she possessed the powers of the Remembrance and Trailblaze Paths, and the authority of the previous God of Sumeru had granted her the power to send her thoughts into others' minds.

But Neuvillette, Xiao, and the others seemed to have some kind of barrier on them, preventing her entry.

"Let's control them first."

"We can't hurt them."

Welt Yang raised his left hand, gathering ropes formed by Imaginary Energy, intending to throw them at Neuvillette and the others.

However, just then, Kafka raised the twin pistols in her hands towards Welt Yang.

"I can't let you take them out so easily."

"Play with me for a bit, Trailblazer."

As Kafka's words fell, a series of gunshots rang out.In an instant, countless bullets carrying the power of the Path struck Welt Yang,

forcing him to immediately use the power in his hands to block Kafka's bullets.

"Uncle Yang, I'll help you!"

March 7th raised her bow and arrow, intending to attack Kafka.Just then, a pillar of water attacked from the side.

Seeing this, March 7th quickly constructed an ice shield, blocking Neuvillette's attack.

"Huh, I didn't feel the power of the Path, but this attack is quite powerful."

"If he were to embark on a Path, wouldn't that be incredible?"

March 7th looked at Neuvillette, who was still continuously attacking the ice shield she had constructed with Six-Phase Ice using a pillar of water, and said with some surprise.

"Now is not the time for exclamations, Benefactors."

"If we don't subdue them, we won't be able to catch Kafka."

Tingyun said.

"Got it, got it. By the way, are you really not going to help, Tingyun?"

March 7th said while dealing with the attacks from the others.

"This humble girl truly doesn't have the strength to deal with enemies; I can only rely on everyone here."

Tingyun said weakly.

March 7th shook her head helplessly, her gaze sweeping over Welt Yang, who was confronting Kafka and Stelle,

and then immediately joined Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in the battle to suppress Xiao, Keqing, Zhongli, and the other Astral Express passengers.

Although March 7th has a lively personality, her strength is not weak.

With her joining, the battle immediately turned into a one-sided advantage for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

"This won't do. The Diviner still needs some time to arrive."

"Therefore, the battle cannot end so quickly."

Kafka backflipped, avoiding the combo attack from Welt Yang and Stelle, then turned to look at Zhongli.

"What an interesting person, to be able to withstand the power of my Spirit Whisper control, even though I was just testing the waters."

"However, it's about time to show a bit more power."

"[Listen to me], recall your former battlefield; [Listen to me], recall the time you should use your full power, Luo Feng's passenger."

Kafka said to Zhongli, with a purple light in her eyes.

This is bad!

Seeing Kafka use the power of Spirit Whisper on him again, Zhongli inwardly thought something was wrong.

Indeed, the next moment he felt the power within his body suddenly boil.

At the same time, Zhongli felt the environment before his eyes shift.

Before he could react, the surrounding Xianzhou environment had already transformed into a scene that Zhongli was once very familiar with.

"Where is this... place?"

Zhongli looked at the grim environment before him, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

"Rex Lapis, what's wrong?"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded by Zhongli's ear.

"You are... Streetward Rambler? Why are you here?"

"Moreover, why do you look like this?"

Zhongli looked at the young and beautiful Streetward Rambler before him, his brows slightly furrowed.

In his Remembrance, Streetward Rambler should have decided to let her appearance fade with time due to Guizhong's death.

By now, Streetward Rambler should be a frail old woman, an elder known as Granny Ping.

"Rex Lapis, isn't this what I look like?"

Streetward Rambler said with some confusion.Another voice sounded beside Zhongli.

He turned his head and saw that the speaker was none other than Cloud Retainer in her crane form.

"Xianyun, you're here too?!"

Zhongli exclaimed in surprise.

"Xianyun? My adeptus name is Cloud Retainer."

Cloud Retainer asked in confusion."

It's rare to see Rex Lapis so distracted."

"Could it be because of Guizhong?"

Moon Carver appeared behind Zhongli and said.

"Guizhong?"

When Zhongli heard these two words, it was as if a flash of lightning went through his mind, and he recalled many things.

"The Devil Gods are fighting, and Guili Plains is engulfed in war."

"Are we on our way to support Guili Plains?"

Zhongli held his forehead with one hand and murmured.

"Precisely."

Cloud Retainer nodded and said with some hesitation:

"Rex Lapis, are you... too tired from the previous battle?"

"Too tired... perhaps."

Zhongli's eyes narrowed, and he looked ahead:

"Let's go, let's pick up the pace, everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, just as Zhongli was about to move, the surrounding environment changed again.

Zhongli only felt a moment of dizziness, and the scene of Guizhong fighting with other Devil Gods had already appeared before his eyes.

Guizhong saw Zhongli and his group arriving, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

However, she also revealed a slight opening.

The enemy Devil God saw this slight opening and immediately launched a fatal blow at Guizhong.

Seeing this, Zhongli's heart trembled violently, and the scene of her death, leaving only her body remains, involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Subconsciously, Zhongli used The Power of Destiny within his body, combined with Geo Element Power, to summon a huge Geo Spear and threw it at the enemy Devil God.

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

Zhongli summoned a huge Geo Spear and threw it at March 7th and the others.

Only a loud bang was heard.The Geo Spear landed on the ground, and it actually formed a mountain.

[Hanxue: This is... a Geo Spear?]

[Yixuan: Is Zhongli secretly learning from Rex Lapis?]

[Wanyan: Could it... could it be?!]

[Venti: An interesting scene is happening, ehe.]

[Furina: As expected, it turned out like this.]

[Nahida:...]

[Chongyun: So... so strong, he actually smashed a small mountain on the ground of the Xianzhou?]

[Beidou: The consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor actually possesses such strength?]

[Dehya: Ordinary people wouldn't be able to exert such power,Zhongli must have used the power of the light cone, right?]

[Candace: It's not impossible.

However, the power contained in the "material of memory" light cone is all defensive power. Can any human really use this power for offense?]

[Kaveh: Not human? Could this Zhongli actually be a Liyue adeptus?Hmm... it doesn't seem impossible.

Liyue's adepti can also descend to live with humans.]

[Alhaitham: Adepti can descend, so is it possible for gods to also descend?]

[Kaveh: Hmm? Alhaitham, do you think Zhongli is the Geo Archon?]

[Alhaitham: Let's keep watching.][Tartaglia: Zhongli is really not simple, I misjudged him.]

[Tartaglia: If this small mountain were on the Teyvat Continent, wouldn't it directly become another Guyun Stone Forest? I wonder if Osial was startled when he saw this scene.]

[Osial: Human, are you looking for death?]

[Beisht: Husband, is it possible that that Zhongli is really Morax?]

[Osial:...Perhaps.]

[Yixuan: No, no way, Zhongli is actually Rex Lapis?]

[Hanxue: Impossible, absolutely impossible.]

[Beidou: Rex Lapis transformed into a mortal to be a consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? If this is true, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business will boom later.]

[Xingqiu: Even the deceased probably hope that the Geo Archon will preside over their funeral.

It's just that if Zhongli is really the Geo Archon, will he still go to work at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor after he returns to Liyue?]

[Wanyan: Even the Devil God Osial said so, perhaps Zhongli is really the Geo Archon!]

Wanyan stared deeply at Zhongli in the forum, her brows tightly furrowed.

Thinking that the Salt Devil God she worshipped might have met such an end because of the Zhongli before her, who was the Devil God Morax, Wanyan's fists clenched involuntarily.

"Geo Archon... Morax!!!"

Wanyan gritted her teeth and murmured.

......

"Morax, thank you."

"Speaking of which, has your power increased?"

Guizhong looked at the Devil God who was directly killed by Morax's Geo Spear and said with emotion.

"Yes, Rex Lapis's strength is greater than before."

Streetward Rambler flew down beside Morax and nodded in agreement.

"It's not time to rest yet, new enemies are coming."

Cloud Retainer stood aside, looking at the sky with a serious expression.

"Wh... when, why are there so many Devil Gods?"

Guizhong looked at the suddenly appearing numerous Devil Gods and said worriedly.

"That's... Osial and his wife?"

"Aren't they sea Devil Gods? Why would they come to land?"

Zhongli looked at the numerous Devil Gods before him and murmured in confusion.

Besides Osial, he also felt unusually familiar with the other numerous Devil Gods.It was as if he had fought against them before.

"Fought against them? Why would I have such a thought?"

Zhongli muttered to himself, instinctively sensing something abnormal.

However, before he could think carefully, the numerous enemy Devil Gods had already begun to gather strength.

In an instant, a terrifying, murderous pressure instantly enveloped Guizhong, Streetward Rambler, and the others.

"Rex Lapis, something is not right."

Streetward Rambler said with a deep frown.

"Don't worry, I will..."

Before Zhongli could finish speaking, the surrounding scenery changed again.

Zhongli frowned and looked up, only to find that the adepti who had followed him were already injured and lying on the ground, as was Guizhong.

"How could this be, what happened?"

Zhongli murmured."Rex Lapis, we were a burden, I'm sorry."

Streetward Rambler coughed up a mouthful of blood and said.

"Morax, thank you for coming."

"But let's forget about it."

"While there's still a chance, you take everyone and leave."

"I'll cover your retreat."

Guizhong stood up from the ground, clutching her abdomen, and looked at the numerous Devil Gods in front with determined eyes.

Seeing Guizhong stand up, all the Devil Gods once again accumulated elemental power, just like before.

Zhongli's eyes widened as he looked at the scene before him.

The image of Guizhong's death once again appeared in his mind for no reason.

"Such a scene must never happen."

A strong emotion of resistance towards Guizhong's death emerged in Zhongli's heart.

Unconsciously, he began to exert all the power he could mobilize.

The power of Geo elements, the power of a Devil God, preservation power, and even the power of the "material of memory" light cone.

For a moment, a dazzling light enveloped his entire body.

Inside the light, Zhongli's clothes gradually transformed into the divine armor of the Geo Archon, Morax.

Above the light cone, the memories sealed within gradually loosened under the impact of Zhongli's strong emotions.

And all of this was also displayed in the eyes of Welt Yang, Stelle, Tingyun, and others on the Xianzhou Starwatcher Avenue,

and also displayed in the eyes of the Tivat People watching everything on Starwatcher Avenue through the live stream forums of Hu Tao, Ningguang, and others.
