Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

"Yes. The Liyue Immortal Clan owes this young man a favor."

Xianyun also recalled some past events and couldn't help but feel a little lonely. However, she changed her way of addressing Lu Sheng from "that guy" to "young man".

She continued, "Now is not the time to be happy. Although Hou Zhang has regained his senses, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons is still missing. He is already burdened with karmic obstacles and has an excessive aura of killing. If he goes mad, the destruction he causes will be far beyond what Hou Zhang can do."

Jiehu said, "But I have searched all over Dihua Prefecture, and there is not a trace of Xiao!"

"Then keep searching, we'll find him no matter where we are in Liyue!"

No sooner had Xianyun finished speaking than a deafening roar came from the southwest.

Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see a cloud of demonic energy rising from the southwest corner of Liyue, turning half the sky blood red, a truly terrifying sight.

Around that demonic aura, groups of indescribable, bizarre monsters swirled and flew out, scattering in all directions.

"That's... the Abyss of Layered Rocks!!"

Even the immortals were stunned by this terrifying sight.

Has the seal beneath the towering abyss finally been broken?

"Could it be Xiao? Fushe of the Yaksha tribe died beneath the abyss back then, could it be him..."

Lu Sheng did not believe that Xiao had the ability to shake the seal of the Layered Rock Abyss. It was true that he might have gone there, but this soaring demonic energy was definitely the work of Rheindorf.

"Let's go! To the Abyss!"

Just as the immortals were preparing to head to the Abyss to reseal it, two paper cranes flew in from different directions and landed in Xianyun's hands.

She opened the paper crane and saw what it said. Her face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled as she murmured, "Liyue... has met with a terrible calamity!"

"News has arrived from the Seven Stars: the demon god Oser, sealed beneath the sea by the Emperor, has inexplicably awakened. The demon god's remains beneath Pavilion Lonely Cloud have also reacted!"

"Furthermore, large-scale beast tides have appeared in various parts of Liyue, with particularly large numbers near the South Gate. They are approaching Mount Hulao and the Thousand Rock Army is fighting hard but has suffered heavy casualties."

Upon hearing this, Jiehu was shocked. "Mount Hulao? Isn't that my cave?! Wait! They're not after me! It's the Fulong Tree!"

Ruo Tuo?

Lu Sheng was also taken aback.

The Abyss of Layered Rocks, Oser, the Remains of the Demon God, the Beast Tide, and Rota.

Any one of these attacks, if they all erupt at once, would be a major disaster for Liyue...

That old hag from Rheindorf is aiming for the destruction of the country and the extinction of its people.

"What do we do? Where do we go now? There are only a few of us left in Liyue. If we split up, we can't get anything done!"

Mondstadt Liyue Chapter: Chapter 60: It's normal for the Celestial Venerable's mount to be a Qilin.

The sage said that when two powers are mutually exclusive, choose the lesser one; he never said what to do when five powers are mutually exclusive.

The disasters on the other side of the giant abyss of layered rocks can even affect Mount Sumeru.

Xianyun roared in fury: "Of course we'll go to the Laminariat! How can our great nation of Liyue allow other countries to suffer because we are unable to handle our own crisis?"

Hou Zhang shook his head and said, "At a time like this, what do you care about saving face? Of course, we should go and suppress Oser and the remains of the Demon God! It's only a stone's throw away from Liyue Harbor, and all the people are there. If it's destroyed, the morale of the Liyue army will definitely collapse!"

Jiehu shouted, "What are you talking about? There are Seven Stars and the City Lord of Gochenlang in Liyue Harbor, it's not that bad. Of course we're going to guard the Dragon Tree! If the beast tide breaks through the seal and awakens Ruoduo, the trouble will be much bigger than the other two combined!"

The three immortals began to argue about which side to save first.

Xianyun thought they should first go and reseal the abyss overflowing from the bottom of the giant rock abyss.

Hou Zhang was the kindest of them all and felt that the people should be protected first.

Jiehu was afraid that Ruotuo would completely lose his mind after his resurrection, after all, that was a power comparable to that of the Emperor.

The immortals argued endlessly, each with their own considerations, but if they were to separate, it would be difficult for a single immortal to resolve these calamities.

Suddenly, a golden paper crane flew in from the sky.

That was the paper crane that Xianyun had once given to the Emperor.

She immediately took the paper crane, opened it, and sure enough, it was the Emperor's decree.

"The Emperor will personally suppress the remains of the sea demon god Oser and other demon gods. We three immortals should immediately go to Mount Hulao to stabilize the seal of the Dragon-Subduing Tree. As for the Layered Rock Abyss... a noble person will go to help. We will go there after the Emperor has finished clearing the sea disaster."

"Hmm?" Hou Zhang exclaimed in surprise, "A distinguished person? Who is it? When did Liyue acquire such a powerful figure?"

"Of course it is me."

Lu Sheng sighed softly, reluctantly taking on this mess.

That damned Deng, he practically called him out by name in the letter.

You treat me like a brick, moving me wherever you need me, using me to the point of exhaustion as long as I don't die, right?

You old bastard, just you wait.

Just say so, why bother with all this talk about important people? It's so fussy.

The three immortals of Liyue were unaware of the contract between Lu Sheng and the Emperor, and were greatly astonished by Lu Sheng's volunteering.

His strength is undeniable, no less than that of an immortal, and he is unaffected by the abyss and can even dispel it.

Let him go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks to check the situation first, and if necessary, take action to stop the spread of the abyssal monsters.

As long as we can hold out until the Emperor arrives, everything will be alright.

"If that's the case... young man, you truly are a great benefactor to Liyue!"

"His righteousness is boundless! His righteousness is boundless!"

Xianyun finally called out the name seriously this time.

"Lu Sheng, the towering cliffs and abyss are fraught with danger. This journey will likely be fraught with peril. Are you really going to go alone?"

"Master...I...I'm willing to go too..."

Gan Yu's hesitant voice reached Xian Yun's ears. Knowing her disciple's personality well, she sighed heavily and nodded, the heaviest nod she had made in a thousand years.

"In that case, you can go with us. But remember, both of you, just do your best and don't be foolish enough to risk your lives. If you can't win, come back. No one will blame you."

Shen He was about to say something when Xian Yun interrupted him, "Shen He, your talisman skills are superior to your senior sister's. Come with us to reinforce the seal under the Fulong Tree. There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

Having said that, the immortals revealed their true forms and flew together toward the direction of the Dragon-Subduing Tree.

"Senior sister, Lu Sheng, take care of yourselves. Be sure to listen to Master and do your best."

Shen He knew that the situation was urgent and left only a sentence and a concerned look before chasing after the immortals.

"Everyone's swamped with work now, Gan Yu, so we should..."

Before Lu Sheng could react, Gan Yu had already revealed her true form behind him.

A mythical beast, the Qilin, with red horns, blue mane, and a body radiating a delicate, jade-like luster.

This is completely different from the legendary image of Fei Di being like a ball, getting stuck in the demon god's throat and completing a solo kill.

She has a well-proportioned figure, stands on auspicious clouds, her light blue mane is spread out and flamboyant, her golden eyes shine brightly, and the bells hanging around her neck jingle with the clatter of her hooves.

"Please...please don't look at my butt..."

If Gan Yu hadn't pointed it out, Lu Sheng wouldn't have noticed that the mythical beast Qilin's round, pinkish-white buttocks were now fully exposed, with only a thin tail trying its best to cover up what it didn't want others to see.

It ended up being even more astringent.

Seeing that Lu Sheng's gaze was fixed on her buttocks, Gan Yu hurriedly turned her head and turned around, startling Lu Sheng, who thought she was going to poke him with her horn again.

"Get on, I fly very fast, we'll reach the Abyss of Laminaria soon."

"Huh? I'll ride you?"

"Hurry up, or it will be too late!"

"Ok."

Lu Sheng flipped himself onto the Qilin. The flesh on its back was soft and warm to the touch, with a silky smooth texture.

"Hold on tight, I'm about to take off."

With a heavy stomp of its four hooves, Gan Yu unleashed a cloud of auspicious clouds beneath its feet, propelling itself forward like a shooting star. With a single step, it covered thousands of meters.

Lu Sheng quickly grabbed the two Qilin horns to avoid being thrown off by the sudden acceleration.

The scenery of Liyue flashed by beneath my feet like a fleeting moment, a speed that was indeed more than twice as fast as flying on a sword.

"Why didn't you stay with your masters? Why did you have to go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks? Haven't you suffered enough in the abyss?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask Gan Yu, "I only came because of the contract, but no one forced Gan Yu to come."

"I'm not afraid. Even if I accidentally get tainted by the abyss, can't you help me purify myself?"

Gan Yu's answer left Lu Sheng speechless.

"Also, you can't die. The abyss on me and Yelan hasn't been cleaned up yet."

Lu Sheng chuckled inwardly.

Don't worry about that. I value my life more than anyone else. If things go wrong, I'll retreat immediately. Even if your emperor dies, I won't die.

With Gan Yu's lightning-fast help, they quickly arrived above the Layered Rock Abyss.

The demonic energy gushing from the center of the vortex-shaped rock layer still maintains its towering pillar shape. The only difference from before is that a huge number of abyssal demonic beasts have now gathered around the demonic energy.

They wandered aimlessly in the sky, for they had slaughtered all the creatures on the ground nearby.

The moment Gan Yu and Lu Sheng burst in, the roaming magical beasts became excited like hunting dogs that had smelled blood, and pounced madly on their new prey.

A dark mass, surging in like a tide.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Sheng patted Gan Yu on the back. "Just keep charging forward, leave the rest to me."

Immediately, a massive storm formed behind him, blotting out the sky and echoing the approaching tide of dark beasts.

Gan Yu's unicorn horn emitted a red light as he charged forcefully into the beast tide.

Behind her, a massive storm followed closely, colliding and churning with the beast tide.

Hey! It's me! The Immortal Venerable! It was just a little event, but I didn't expect so many people to watch it. I also didn't expect so many senior students to come and criticize me. It seems that the saying "the end of miHoYo is miHoYo haters" is quite true.
