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

The images on the screen continued to play, following Commissioner Diluc as he disappeared into the room, leaving the screen completely black.

After a while, the magnificent Qunyu Pavilion appeared before everyone present. As everyone looked at the pavilion floating in the air with doubt, a voice came from inside the pavilion.

“I have been waiting for a long time, Night Emperor.”

A voice that Keqing knew all too well rang out from the Jade Pavilion, and the scene shifted to Ningguang sitting on the throne in the main hall of the Jade Pavilion.

"This Qunyu Pavilion... is quite different from mine."

Looking at the magnificent hall, Ningguang in the real world remained silent for a moment before saying this. In reality, she had no intention of making Qunyu Pavilion look like the one on the screen.

The scene on the screen resembled more of a royal palace of a certain country than the office of the Seven Stars, which was eclipsed by the moon.

"It's been a long time. Hope you've been well."

Looking at Ningguang sitting high on the throne, Diluc smirked and said this.

"There's no need to ask how I am. Our cooperation is limited to assassinating a god. Once that's done, it will be time for our duel to continue."

Ningguang's somewhat impatient voice rang out at this moment, while Wendy leisurely said, "On the night of the full moon, atop the Jade Pavilion, a sword comes from the west, a celestial being descends from the heavens."

Unexpectedly, Ningguang and Night Emperor Ryder, who fought their decisive battle atop the Jade Pavilion, will meet again today and declare war on each other for the supreme position in the martial world.

Hearing Wendy's words, Ningguang frowned: "Who are you?"

"I am merely a passing bard, and I have come here to assist the Night Emperor in assassinating the gods."

Upon hearing this, Diluc nodded and explained, "He is a bard from Mondstadt, and his skills are quite impressive."

Hearing this, Ningguang nodded without asking further questions. Gazing at the bright moon high in the sky, she murmured to herself:

"The moonlight cannot be hidden from the jade pavilion; now is indeed not the time to continue the struggle."

The assassination of the gods and the seizure of the position of Tianquan Star are irreversible matters. Let's postpone our duel until these matters are resolved.

After Ningguang finished speaking, she began to discuss the matter of assassinating the god with Diluc. The most crucial point of this matter was the ceremony that was about to begin.

The ceremony that the two kept mentioning during their conversation had puzzled many people around the world, but at this moment, something else puzzled Ningguang even more than the ceremony.

"I never imagined that in that world, the Tianquan Star of Liyue wouldn't be me?"

Ningguang was curious about what had happened in that world, and who was now serving as the Tianquan Star in that world.

Unfortunately, the version of herself on the screen had no intention of revealing any relevant information, and Ningguang did not continue to ponder the issue of Tianquan in the face of this situation.

Liyue in that world has changed, but Mondstadt may not have changed. Although it will no longer exist in the future, the Night Emperor may be hiding in the shadows and unifying the martial world.

Diluc... someone who can be compared to himself seems like a rather troublesome enemy.

Looking at the screen, he saw that the negotiation between him and his companion was not exactly amicable, but rather a result of pressure from Tianquan Star and the gods.

"Nothing. I didn't know you had this side to you."

Looking at Diluc on the screen, Kaeya sounded slightly surprised. Even if there were subtle differences between worlds, the differences in personality between beings of the same kind shouldn't be too great.

In Kaeya's eyes, the Diluc on the screen is a more extreme version of Diluc compared to the current one.

Ignoring Kaeya beside him, Diluc was focused on the screen with a serious expression.

Although it's unclear why the original world version of myself became like that, the path I followed can be used as a reference for future use.

It doesn't refer to killing gods, but rather to gathering a group of subordinates and using the power of the team to fight against one's enemies.

Of course, whether or not to implement it depends on his own performance next. Diluc wants to use that performance to get a feel for the difference between individual and team combat.

But if I were to secretly organize a team, what would be a good name for it? Hmm... Night Owl? Robin?

Different names flashed through his mind, while on the screen, Ningguang said in a serious tone, "The person we need to be most wary of in our plan is the current Tianquan Star."

Upon hearing this, Diluc looked puzzled: "I'm not actually very familiar with the Liyue Seven Stars, so why do you say we should be wary of this Tianquan?"

"If the two of us join forces, the Liyue Sept cannot possibly affect our plans unless multiple members unite, right?"

Chapter 781: The Heavenly Pivot is useless, the Jade Balance is incompetent, and the only true hero in the world is the Night Emperor.

What you're talking about are the ordinary Liyue Seven Stars, but the Tianquan Star who competed with me for the position of Tianquan and was slightly better than me is different from them.

"Tian Shu is useless, Yu Heng is incompetent; only Tian Quan is our true obstacle."

?

"Wait a minute, why would Yuheng say something like that when he's incompetent?!"

In the real world, Keqing's somewhat unfriendly voice rang out, and she looked at Ningguang beside her with obvious displeasure.

"I think you're pretty good, Keqing. As for why I said that on screen... well, I'm not really sure."

Ningguang then honestly shared her thoughts, though she was somewhat surprised.

I never expected that such a talent would be hidden in Liyue. Is he a stronger being than me from Tianquan Star? I wonder what kind of talent he is.

"Is that agent of Tianquan really that powerful?"

Seeing Diluc's somewhat disbelieving expression, Ningguang nodded seriously.

"Do you know Kurumi, the boss of Morax, the Geo Archon, who walks between black and white and commands the Ash Hall of Rebirth in Liyue?"

Eh?

"Wow, I'm actually that amazing!"

In the real world, Hu Tao, hearing Ningguang's words on the screen, was somewhat stunned as she walked through the black and white gaps of Liyue...

Sigh, I'm just a simple head of the Rebirth Hall and a coffin dealer.

And who is the owner of Morax?! When did I acquire such a powerful status?

"Hmm, Morax is the Geo Archon who rules Liyue. If Morax's boss is... Master, I never expected you to be the one who upholds justice."

At this moment, Zhongli, who was not far from Hu Tao, looked slightly surprised. Of course, he also understood in his heart that Hu Tao could not be the withering maintainer.

I guess his identity as a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth had already been exposed in that world...

Hu Tao's speech had just drawn the attention of the Liyue members, and it was at this moment that Ningguang continued on the screen:

"Hu Tao arrived in Liyue only to wait for Luminous, the honorary knight of Mondstadt, who was about to arrive there, and then send him to the afterlife. In essence, she did not intend to interfere too much in mortal affairs."

However... Liyue is full of talented people. The current Tianquan Star is the leader of Morax, the being that Hu Tao tried to send to his death. His name is Qiqi.

After speaking, Ningguang snapped her fingers, and a phantom image of a little girl with a talisman stuck to her head appeared before Diluc.

"This little girl's name is Qi Qi. She is the current Tianquan Star, and also the person that the head of the Rebirth Hall can't do anything about."

Because of her identity, Yuheng Keqing, who is quite useful elsewhere, is somewhat ineffective here, since her true identity is Yuheng's ancestor.

Looking at the phantom in front of him, Diluc frowned slightly: "Wait, I remember that the Seven Stars of Liyue require people to be human. When did long-lived beings become eligible to be selected for the Seven Stars?"

The image in front of Ningguang stunned the Liyue group. Ningguang turned around and looked at Qiqi, who was doing flexibility exercises behind her, with an expression of complete disbelief: "You are Tianquan Star?"

Upon hearing this, Qiqi, while doing gymnastics, looked at Ningguang with a bewildered expression, clearly puzzled by her words.

After listening for a while without hearing any news about Coconut Sheep, Qiqi finally decided to do some stretching exercises to warm up her body. The seats in Liyue were spaced far enough apart that doing some stretching exercises wouldn't be a problem.

"Too weak. I was so weak in that world that I actually lost to such a little girl."

Looking at Qiqi Ningguang, she shook her head and said in a tone of exasperation, "You're so hopeless!" At that moment, Keqing coughed twice:

"Ahem, you can't call her a little girl. In terms of age... she's much older than us."

At this moment, Keqing felt that she could no longer let Ningguang call her "little girl" like that. If Ningguang called her "little girl Qiqi," then what would her identity be?

I treat you as a colleague, and you actually want to treat me like an ancestor?

After listening to the words before class and thinking for a moment, Ningguang understood the key to the matter, but she was also a little troubled by the way to address Qiqi.

Just as she was pondering what to call him, Ningguang on the screen continued:

"Ahem, the immortal beings you mentioned are generally called immortals here. Qiqi is currently just acting as the agent of Qixing. The one we really need to be wary of is Gan Yu, who is known as Liyue Humphrey, standing behind him."

Eh?

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu, who was working in the real world, subconsciously looked up. Did Ningguang just mention her name?

"Liyue Humphrey... what is that?"

In the real world, Ningguang looked at the screen with a puzzled expression. Putting aside the absurd things that happened in that world that made Qiqi become Tianquan Star, how could Gan Yu be the mastermind behind her words?

“That does sound complicated. If we follow the logic you’ve suggested, then if Tianquan Star makes a move, Liyue’s Humphrey and Gan Yu will definitely not use Gan Yu. If it is Gan Yu… well, it’s probably best to avoid Tianquan Star for now.”

Diluc's tone was somewhat wary at this moment, and just then the young master's voice rang out: "You should deal with that ceremony first, Your Excellency. Tomorrow is the start date."

Diluc, there are a few minor changes to our plan that need to be made. Let's discuss them carefully first.

Upon hearing the young master's words, Diluc nodded, and the screen then shifted to displaying the diverse landscapes of Liyue.

The light of dawn tears through the night, and as the stars fade away, the dazzling sun slowly rises, symbolizing the arrival of the second day.

Even though Ningguang hadn't slept a wink last night, she seemed unaffected. In the early morning, Ningguang was already on her way to prepare for the next ritual.

In the real world, everyone's feelings are different. In Liyue, everyone is waiting for what will happen next, while in Mondstadt, everyone is wondering about Diluc's actions.

As for Zhi Dong, the lady was looking at the young master with an unexpected expression.

It seems that the battle maniac who only knows how to fight did not choose to solve the problem using the old method this time.

That's true. Morax isn't any other enemy, which is probably why the young master chose to team up with someone. It's just unclear whether Diluc, the one he found, is reliable.

Diluc's impression of him was just that of a winery owner with the Eye of God but not much strength. However, it seems that he underestimated him. If he dares to use the title of Night Emperor, he must have some strength.

However, Liyue is probably in for a good show this time. Who would have thought that their Tianquan Star, or rather, the Prince, would actually cooperate with him in the future?

Chapter 782: I am the Ultimate Life Form.jpg

The invocation ceremony was being held on the screen, but the uneventful plot did not distract everyone, because the urgent background music told them that things were not so simple.

Finally, just as the Rock King Emperor descended, an unexpected event occurred.

"The time has finally come; it's time to begin our grand plan."

Looking up at the Rock King Emperor in the sky, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the next moment his smile turned into astonishment.

"Wait, is this your arrangement?"

At this moment, high in the sky, the Rock King Emperor, who was descending, seemed to be blocked by something and could not come down from the sky.
