I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Noticing Qi Ji's changing expression, Ivan turned around and looked behind him, whereupon he saw a teleportation tunnel emitting a faint light slowly being constructed.

This was not the teleportation channel that Han Jie and the others had used in their final experiment; that channel had been closed an hour earlier after the experiment ended.

While everyone was still wondering what was going on with this suddenly appearing teleportation channel...

A fiery red figure suddenly darted out of the teleportation channel and leaped into Ivan's arms.

"Brother Ivan!"

Ivan was completely stunned when he saw the adorable little blonde boy with a small backpack in his arms.

"Klee? What are you doing here? What happened?"

Claire nestled in Ivan's arms, blinking her big eyes, and said, "We heard you were having trouble, so we came to help you."

Ivan asked in surprise, "You guys?"

As soon as the words were spoken, familiar faces emerged from the portal.

Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, Abedor, Ningguang, Keqing, Xiangling, Ayaka Kamisato, Sara Kujo, Nagaki Kizawa...

Ivan stared at the crowd before him, speechless with astonishment.

Qin smiled gently.

"We're not too late, are we?"

Chapter 478 The Tranquility Before the Operation

Ivan was momentarily dazed as he looked at the Teyvat people who had appeared before him.

"How...how did you get here?"

Qin smiled and said, "I learned from some staff at the Pan-China Teyvat Alliance headquarters that we were in trouble here, so I gathered everyone together. We originally planned to take a ship through the World Gate to come and provide support, but it just so happened that the space technology final experiment was completed, so we had the space technology team researchers in Teyvat open the teleportation channel to send us here."

Kaeya smiled slightly and said, "Commander, as warriors of the Knights of Favonius, it's not our style to stand by and watch our friends die. Oh, by the way, Lord Diluc did the most work in gathering everyone together."

Diluc crossed his arms and gave a soft hum, but did not deny Kaeya's teasing. He simply said to Ivan, "Friends should help each other. China has helped us a lot, and now it's time for us to give back."

Abedo nodded: "If there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

"The same goes for Liyue."

Ningguang and Keqing stepped forward and nodded slightly to Ivan.

"Liyue will always stand with everyone."

"Me too!"

Xiangling raised her hand and then said with a smile, "Everyone will be hungry after the operation is over, and then it will be my turn to show off my skills."

"Your Excellency, the King's Consort."

Ayaka Kamisato and Sara Kujo approached Ivan together. Ayaka Kamisato bowed slightly, and Sara Kujo also bowed slightly with one hand on her chest.

"We hope we can be of help."

Kizawa Nagahiro waved to Ivan from behind the crowd, then patted his chest and chuckled, "Lord Ivan, the General instructed me to ensure your safety, so you can rest assured that you'll be safe with me from now on!"

Faced with everyone's sincere smiles, Ivan was overwhelmed with emotion.

Thank you everyone...

At that moment, Klee, who was nestled in Ivan's arms, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Ivan, are we going to fight monsters? When do we leave?"

Listening to Claire's innocent words, Ivan was both amused and exasperated.

"Klee, your brothers aren't going on a trip. They're going on a very dangerous mission. They can't take you with them."

Klee pouted and began to whine, "Klee can take care of herself, Brother Ivan, please take Klee with you..."

"Klee!"

Jean walked over, lifted Keli out of Ivan's arms, and then gave Ivan an embarrassed smile.

“Klee…we shouldn’t have brought her along, but when she heard we were going to Ivan’s hometown, she slipped into the portal when we weren’t looking…let’s open the portal again in a bit and send her back to Teyvat.”

"what?"

Upon hearing that Commander Qin was going to send her back, Klee's expression immediately changed, and she frantically waved her little hands.

"Chairman Jean, don't send Klee back. Klee won't go with everyone."

As she spoke, Klee looked at Ivan with pitiful, pleading eyes.

Ivan chuckled and said, "Let Claire stay here. She won't be in any danger here. I'll find someone to look after her."

As they were talking, Ivan saw Xiang Feng passing by in the distance, so he waved and called over the puzzled Xiang Feng.

"Commander Yi... Huh? Miss Jean? And everyone from Teyvat... What brings you all here?"

Qin explained, "We heard that Blue Star was in trouble, so we came to help."

Xiang Feng exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! If this raid can be aided by the power of the Eye of God, the success rate will be greatly increased. Commander Yi, when shall we depart?"

Ivan scratched the back of his head.

"Well... I did ask Captain Qi to go to the equipment department to inform you of the departure time before, but it's not necessary now. You don't need to go on this mission."

"I'm not going?" Xiang Feng's eyes widened. "Why?"

"I have another task for you."

As Ivan spoke, he shifted his position, revealing Klee behind him.

Keli blinked her big eyes and waved her little hand at Xiang Feng: "Hi."

The moment Xiang Feng saw Ke Li, his expression changed instantly. Before he could even turn around, his legs had already started moving.

Ivan grabbed Xiang Feng, who was about to run away.

Where are you going?

"I...I suddenly remembered I have some matters to attend to at the Equipment Department...See you later, Commander Yi. I'll come over again before we depart..."

"Stop right there! Is looking after a child such an impossible task?"

"..."

Xiang Feng recalled his experience of taking care of Ke Li in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. He thought to himself that this task was no ordinary task, and perhaps it would be easier to send him to heaven.

Of course, it's impossible to say that out loud.

"It just so happens that Nagaki Kizawa is also with the team. You two took care of Klee in the snow mountain before, so Klee will be in your care again this time... Hmm? Where's Nagaki Kizawa? He was just here a moment ago..."

Ivan turned around, only to find that Muzawa Nagahiro was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.

Xiang Feng chuckled dryly. He had just witnessed Mu Ze Changhui turn tail and run away as fast as he could after Ivan mentioned him...

"Never mind, with Kizawa Nagahiro not here, you should be fine on your own..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Feng hurriedly interrupted Ivan.

“Commander Yi, how about letting Captain Qi look after Keli? He’s been at the Qianhai base longer than me and is more familiar with the area, so it would be better for him to take care of Keli.”

Ivan thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too."

Seeing that Ivan had agreed to his proposal, Xiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ivan took Keli to find Qiji, and after some explanation, handed Keli over to Qiji.

Qi Ji took Ke Li with a bewildered look, then looked at Xiang Feng in the distance with the same bewildered expression.

He couldn't quite understand what Xiang Feng's pitiful expression meant.

Is it just my imagination?

Qi Ji scratched his head and looked down to meet Ke Li's big, bright eyes that were staring at him.

It must be my imagination...

"Little friend, what's your name?"

"My name is Klee."

"Klee, what a lovely name. Uncle Qi Ji, what would you like to play, Klee? Uncle Qi Ji will play with you."

"Uncle, do you have any lizards here?"

"Lizard...lizard? There shouldn't be... one..."

"Hmm...where's the fish?"

"What? Klee, you want to eat fish? Okay, Uncle will take you to the cafeteria."

"Great, there's a fish!"

Watching Qi Ji carrying Ke Li away into the distance, Mu Ze Chang Hui, who had just disappeared, also ran back and stood beside Xiang Feng. The two of them watched Qi Ji's departing figure as if they were seeing off a martyr.

Xiang Feng finally sighed.

"Brother Qi Ji is such a good person."

Muze Nagahiro nodded vigorously, his expression one of absolute agreement. At this moment, Qi Ji's image was radiating a heroic aura in their minds.

"Brother Qi Ji, we will always remember you!"

Chapter 479 Blue Star World Tree

Inside the Qianhai base, Ivan sat under a rest pavilion near the transfer plaza, quietly contemplating matters while waiting for Han Jie, Li Guowei, and other researchers in the distance to debug the space teleportation device.

Blue Star is vast, and its spatial information data is enormous. Even just inputting data from one region of Country M would not be a quick process. Moreover, the coordinate calculation rules in the coordinate system of the space teleportation device are different from the general spatial coordinate rules on Blue Star. All of these need to be recalculated, so it will take at least three or four hours.

What are you thinking about?

Suddenly, the sound of a harp rang in Ivan's ears.

Ivan looked up and saw Jean, who had changed into the light combat uniform of the Knights of Favonius, walking towards him.

Seeing Qin's unusual attire, Ivan asked in surprise, "Why did you change your clothes?"

"After all, we're about to take action, so changing now will save us from being scrambling beforehand. What? Is that strange?"
