My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

With the air of a bard who reads like a poet and writes like a master of slacking off, Wendy concludes that the boy in the white hat and green hat on the screen is herself.

Yes, exactly the same, no difference at all.

At this moment, Jean glanced at Wendy and thought to herself, and the next moment the two of them played a piece on the screen with an increasingly dangerous style, a sudden shift to an ambush from all sides.

Upon hearing this dangerous sound, a man from the American Bank suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Diluc, and said:

"Hiss, this kind of music... May I ask if it's from the deadly Ryder himself?"

Upon hearing this, Xingqiu's eyes lit up in the theater.

This... this kind of opening... is this a real-life version of a martial arts novel?

Oh wow, the legendary swordsman from another land, the ruthless Raider, sneaks into Liyue at night to plot his scheme at the Northern Bank. Inspiration, inspiration strikes!

Perhaps I could add this part of the story to my new book?

Xingqiu looked at Diluc, nicknamed "The Deathbringer" on the screen, and thought to himself, while Jean said in a thoughtful tone:

"The Deathbringer Ryder... It seems that Diluc didn't use his true identity in Liyue."

On the other side, when Kaiya heard the title "Death Temptation Ghost", he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft, Death Temptation Ghost Ryder."

I never imagined that the owner of Dawn Winery would have this kind of identity at night.

"But the title 'Death-Taking Ghost' is too unimpressive. Since it's from Liyue, shouldn't it be something like a Soul-Snatching Ghost or a Death-Taking Yama?"

As for Diluc, he was clearly not at peace at the moment. Looking at himself on the screen, he had a complicated expression on his face and his lips twitched.

This title is just too, too awful.

What a stupid title, "Deathbringer Ryder"! Those three prefixes are so unimpressive, but the name itself is quite ordinary.

The wines produced by Dawn Winery are bestsellers in Teyvat. Diluc of Liyue has also learned about them due to business dealings, and knows a little about the martial arts world and the Jianghu there.

It was precisely because of his understanding that he felt the name "Death-Chasing Ghost" sounded like that of a minor character who could only last a few days. What kind of life could such a minor character, who called himself Death-Chasing Ghost, possibly take?

"This title doesn't quite suit me."

Diluc said calmly, and Kaeya nodded in agreement. Putting everything else aside, Diluc definitely deserved an even more imposing title.

How would you put it in Liyue's parlance? Oh right, even within the entire Liyue region, one's sworn brother Diluc is a rare breed indeed.

As the two were talking, the idiom that appeared on the screen from the Northern Bank looked at Wendy with a questioning gaze: "Lord Ryder, who is this?"

"He is the assistant I invited this time, a bard from Mondstadt, nicknamed the Pigeon Killer, the nightmare of all writers."

Wendy, upon hearing this in the real world, was clearly displeased: "How can you describe a bard like me as a 'pigeon killer'? And why call me a 'pigeon killer'?"

Wendy's questions went unanswered, but at that moment, the Northern Bank member on the screen glanced at her, nodded, and continued, "Please come in, the young master is waiting for your visit."

Upon hearing this, Diluc nodded and led Wendy and the bank employees into the Northern Bank.

At this moment, everyone present remained silent, preparing to carefully observe what Diluc was planning to do.

So there was such a secret passage... But does this secret passage exist in my world?

As for the young master who invited Diluc, he was in a state of confusion in reality, as it was the first time he had ever heard that the Northern Bank had such a secret passage.

Chapter 779: Where the stars don't shine, besides the uncrowned dragon king, there are others.

I don't think I've ever built such a secret passage before. So, is the existence of this secret passage due to different world histories?

The young man thought this to himself, when a slightly surprised voice rang out from the lady beside him:

"I didn't expect you to be so clever, D'Artagnan. You even found the secret passage that I had hidden at the Northern Bank beforehand."

ha?

You actually built a secret passage on my turf without my knowledge?

Although the young master was somewhat displeased, his expression remained calm: "You and your actions make me laugh. Do you really think I, the Executor of the Fools, Tartaglia, didn't notice your little tricks?"

It really doesn't.

Yes, but we've discovered it now.

As the young master looked at the lady, he thought to himself that no matter what, he couldn't be the first to show weakness. Even the executors in Fool's World weren't without their conflicts.

"Unfortunately, even if you discover the secret passage, it seems you are still not out of my control, Tartaglia."

The lady's calm voice rang out, "So what if the young master discovered one of his backup plans? He has far more than just one."

Now that this backup plan has been discovered, there's no need to hide the fact that we're making some underhanded moves against him.

From beginning to end, the young master was under their control. Long before the young master made his plans, he had already negotiated a deal with the Rock King of Liyue on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress.

Upon hearing this, the young master merely responded with a calm smile, as if everything was under his control and the lady's actions were nothing more than a laughable farce.

Although his expression was like that, his heart was not so calm.

Wait, what exactly is that lady planning to do in Liyue?

The Ice God watched this scene unfold without saying a word; such scenes often occurred among the Fools.

Using love to influence and make someone friendly only worked on the first Ice God; love is completely useless in the current environment.

All I had to do was watch indifferently; after all, these executives wouldn't actually start a direct battle.

At this moment, applause came from the screen. Diluc, known as the Deathbringer, followed the secret passage into a spacious basement, where the Prince sat on the stone throne and clapped.

"Now that you're here, you must be confident about the plan ahead, right?"

While everyone else was focused on the plan, the woman felt her blood pressure rise. That young master had actually destroyed her carefully arranged hiding place?

If you're going to demolish it, then why take away those chairs with beautiful silk cushions and leave this huge stone seat? That silk was quite expensive.

And this kind of stone seat... doesn't it make it uncomfortable for the young master to sit on?

"That's right. I feel better than ever before. The plan to bring down the god who rules the mortal world will definitely be completed. Our success rate in that plan is one thousand percent."

Seeing the confident tone in Diluc's voice, the young master nodded and asked, "So, aren't you going to change your identity next?"

Unable to hear this, Diluc pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, in this situation, the identity of the Deathbringer Ryder is not quite right."

"In that case, the next performance will be conducted by an identity that I, Diluc, once operated in Liyue."

After speaking, Diluc took out a mask from his backpack. The young master, watching Diluc's action, nodded and said:

"The principles of Heaven have long sustained the celestial realm, while the seven gods of the mortal world look down upon the human world. The rulers of this land are none other than the seven celestial stars who reign over Liyue."

Everyone knows that the uncrowned dragon king, Beidou, resides where the celestial stars do not shine, but few know that besides Beidou, this land called Liyue is also home to two other figures who wield immense power and influence over the martial world.

Upon hearing this, Diluc smiled calmly and replied, "Compared to the glory of the Dragon King, the Big Dipper, and the Seven Stars, I still prefer this state that only a few people can know about."

Continuing to praise him is pointless; we need to complete our plan to dethrone the one we're dealing with in the mortal realm as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, the young master nodded: "Not a beginning but a completion? Such confidence befits Diluc, the Night Emperor who rules the dark side among the Emperor and Empress who govern the Liyue martial world."

In that case, let's first present the relevant plans to our allies for future reference.

Meanwhile, in the real world, upon hearing the imposing title of Night Emperor, Diluc nodded. "Hmm, Night Emperor Diluc, not bad."

This name is at least much more prestigious than "Death-Slaying Ghost." I'm not one to crave empty fame; it's just that the title "Death-Slaying Ghost" is too... too easy to be underestimated.

"Hiss, it seems I underestimated you. I thought you were just a part-time hero of Mondstadt, but I didn't expect you to actually be Diluc, the Night Emperor, who rules over the dark side of the Liyue martial world."

A person who upholds justice and a person who rules the dark side of the martial arts world are two completely different concepts. It seems that my sworn brother has been doing very well in Liyue all these years.

Hmm... So you don't plan to drag Mondstadt into this mess, and instead intend to rely on the strength of the Liyue martial arts world to fight against the Fatui?

But... if that's the case, why would he cooperate with the Fatui's executor?

Moreover, if those words are true, then the situation is even more extraordinary. His sworn brother Diluc's target... could very well be Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue.

On the other side, Xingqiu was incredibly excited watching the scene on the screen. This was the inspiration he had been searching for! He already had an idea for the plot of the next installment of his novel.

The Night Emperor Diluc, one of the two emperors who ruled the martial world, is such a cool character!

Wait a minute, judging from the name, could it be that I misunderstood something?

Was the man who spoke with the Night Emperor not talking about letting his allies see what happens in the future, but rather about having an ally called "future ally"?

Hmm, thinking about it that way makes sense. Day corresponds to night, and empress corresponds to emperor, representing the emperor and empress ruling over both the righteous and evil paths of the martial arts world.

Given the current situation, it is highly likely that the Sun Emperor and Night Empress are preparing to take action against the Rock King Emperor!

But is this really possible...? The difference between humans and the Rock King is just too great.

Xingqiu was naturally aware of the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't need to report it to the Seven Stars of Liyue, since two of the Seven Stars of Liyue were sitting not far from him.

Looking at his companion beside him, Chongyun was clearly quite shocked by the news.

Chapter 780: Beware of Tianquan Star

The man standing next to Chongyun, with his dragon-like features and phoenix-like eyes, also looked somewhat bewildered. Wait a minute, isn't the martial world of Liyue now quiet and under the control of one of the Seven Stars?

What exactly happened in that world? Who was this Night Emperor? And what became of those who were his equals in the future...?

Zhongli was deep in thought, trying to guess what had happened in that world, while at the same time, Kaeya looked at Diluc with some confusion: "Why would you make such a decision?"

Do you think I would know what tragic things happened in that world?

There's something off about the guy on the screen; he seems even more ruthless than me.

His past couldn't have been as peaceful as mine... Hmm, could it be that I, in that world, was once captured by enemies and suffered greatly?

Diluc then offered a guess, while on the other side, Diluc and Jean looked somewhat troubled as they watched the screen. It seemed that Diluc had done quite a bit in Liyue.

The scene on the screen continued to play. Diluc, who had met with the young master, led Venti, known as the "Pigeon Killer," through a side path to a relatively secluded street in Liyue Harbor.

Boom, boom, boom.

After knocking three times on the door, a deep voice came from inside: "What is it?"

"It's time to launch the plan to raise the sword of rebellion against the gods."

Diluc's voice immediately caused the being inside to open the door: "So it's Lord Diluc, the Night Emperor. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Meanwhile, in the real world, Ningguang stared blankly at the figure emerging from the house: "How could it be him?"

Do you know this person?

Keqing frowned and asked, and Ningguang nodded, returning to Keqing's question, who was also a Seven Star beside her: "I know her. She is the specialist responsible for picking people up and taking them to Qunyu Pavilion."
