He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Gan Yu peeked out from the pile of documents and came up to Wu Di, greeting him warmly.

"Hello Xiaodi, return to the end."

(Hello, Little Gan Yu.)

"Hello, Sister Guizhong also greeted us."

After a brief greeting, we got down to business.

"You have time to come see me, is there something you need?"

"I do have something I'd like to ask you."

Wu Di didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point, taking off his mask and then glancing at the opening of the room.

"But before that, I need a window facing the ocean."

Do you have one in this room?

"Hmm? Yes."

Although Gan Yu didn't understand Wu Di's intentions, she still led Wu Di to a window where they could see the ocean.

"This is the window that lets you see the ocean, what's wrong with it?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Wu Di sensed the direction of the malice, then raised his finger and pointed in that direction before speaking.

"Gan Yu, is there anything in that direction?"

"Hmm? Let me see."

Gan Yu came to Wu Di's side and looked in the direction he was pointing. Because of the height of the Jade Pavilion, Gan Yu could only see a small, blurry piece of land, even with the eyesight of an immortal.

"This direction... is Guyun Pavilion, what's wrong, Xiao Di?"

What kind of place is that Lonely Cloud Pavilion?

"Guyun Pavilion is where the Emperor defeated and sealed the Vortex Demon God, Oser, a thousand years ago."

(The Whirlpool Demon God Oser? Oh, so that's the one that stinky stone led the immortals to stop back then. A thousand years have passed, is it finally going to break the seal?)

"A demon god, the true form of that malice is a demon god. No wonder it hates life here so much, and is filled with madness and distortion..."

Wu Di muttered to himself, and these words made Gan Yu, who was standing next to him, feel extremely uneasy and had already thought of some bad things. She spoke nervously.

"Xiao Di, what happened to this Vortex Demon God?"

"Gan Yu, what will you do if I tell you that this demon god is about to break the seal?"

It was a simple sentence, yet it confirmed the outcome Gan Yu least wanted to know. She had already guessed it to some extent, but she really didn't want to know it.

"this……."

(Little guy, I suddenly realize something. Could this Oser be a trial that the stinky stone is giving to Liyue?)

(To fake his own death and escape, then observe from the shadows how the Seven Stars of Liyue and the people will respond to this trial?)

(If he can't stop it, then he'll seal Oser; if he can, he can retire and relax without any problem!)

(Wow! That stinky rock has a clever plan.)

After a series of complaints in Wu Di's mind, he finally came to the truth. Upon hearing this, Wu Di spoke in a very serious tone.

"This vortex demon god Oser might be a trial that the Geo Archon has set for Liyue."

Chapter 56 Debts of gratitude are not easy to repay.

"Trials..."

Now, Gan Yu has a clear sense of multiple clues connecting together in her mind.

(So ​​that's what the Emperor was thinking.)

Gan Yu looked out the window, towards the direction of Guyun Pavilion.

(The vortex demon god Oser is the trial that the Emperor left for Liyue.)

For some reason, Gan Yu is now full of energy. Since it is a trial left by the Emperor, she will complete it in the best state and in the most perfect way!

We must not let the Emperor be disappointed in Liyue, but rather make him proud of Liyue.

Looking at Gan Yu, who was cheering him on, Wu Di smiled slightly and said something in return.

"come on."

"Yes! We will."

"However, this matter should be relayed to Seven Stars, since this is the Emperor's trial."

"Okay, I've delivered the message. I'll be leaving now."

"Hey? Aren't you coming with me?"

Gan Yu was somewhat stunned, after all, this information was provided by Wu Di, so it couldn't be better if it were from him.

"No, I'm not used to being watched. I get nervous easily and then I can't speak properly."

Wu Di felt somewhat embarrassed, but deep down he vaguely felt a fear of being stared at, which made him easily recall his experience in Mondstadt...

"Okay, I understand. I'll see you off now."

Gan Yu sensed the sadness hidden in Wu Di's words and didn't say anything more. Instead, she took the initiative to lead Wu Di away.

Wearing a mask, as they walked down the street, Wu Di talked about Gan Yu's work and then asked, "Do you usually stay at Qunyu Pavilion?"

Gan Yu shook her head, indicating that she had only arrived at Qunyu Pavilion yesterday and usually worked at Yuehai Pavilion.

She also said that she had been staying at the Qunyu Pavilion recently, and that if anyone had any information, they could come to her and she would pass it on to the other seven stars.

Wu Di expressed his gratitude for Gan Yu's thoughtfulness.

But just as they were riding down the "Floating Stone," Baiwen jogged over and spoke very respectfully.

"Lord Wu Di, Lord Gan Yu, please wait a moment. Lord Ningguang invites you both to have a chat."

The two of them hesitated for a moment, and then Gan Yu spoke first.

"Does Lady Ningguang have something to discuss with us?"

"Lady Ningguang said that Lord Wudi is in such a hurry to see Lady Ganyu, so he must have encountered some difficulties. If you don't mind, you might as well tell her about it."

"Then let's go meet him."

Wu Di readily agreed, then turned to Gan Yu and whispered.

"In that case, let's tell Ningguang first."

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu nodded, since she was already there anyway.

"Okay, please follow me."

The two followed Baiwen into the Qunyu Pavilion and met Ningguang again. Although Wu Di had met her once yesterday, it was very brief.

Ningguang greeted the two of them warmly and took the initiative to speak.

"I am very sorry, Wu Di, because the Emperor instructed me to take good care of you before he passed away."

“I just received a message saying that you were in a great hurry to see Gan Yu. I thought you were having some kind of trouble, so I called you and Gan Yu over together to see if there was anything I could do to help.”

Ningguang's intentions were good, but her desire to build a good relationship with Wu Di, who had a background as an immortal, was also genuine.

After all, the immortals might come at any time to demand an explanation, so it would be best if Wu Di could mediate between them.

"There is indeed a need to go to Lady Ningguang's place."

Gan Yu spoke up very proactively, and her words made Ning Guang narrow her eyes and smile. When there is a need, there will be favors, and favors are not easy to repay.

"Please speak."

"Actually, through some immortal methods, we have confirmed that the seal on the Vortex Demon God Oser, which the Emperor sealed a thousand years ago, has begun to loosen."

Gan Yu spoke in a calm and collected tone, revealing a shocking truth that stunned Ning Guang, who was standing in front of her. Ning Guang was frozen in time, completely still, before finally uttering a question.

"Ok?"

"Gan Yu, are you sure what you just said is true?"

"It's true, Lady Ningguang. The seal has begun to loosen. It's safe to say that the Vortex Demon God could break the seal at any time now."

"Then, he charged towards Li Yue to avenge the Emperor from a thousand years ago."

Ningguang could no longer maintain her calm and collected demeanor. She closed her eyes, pinched the bridge of her nose with her hand, and began to massage it, her mind churning with thoughts.

The Emperor had barely left when Liyue was already in complete chaos. The fact that the Seven Stars were able to maintain a semblance of stability on the surface was the result of their utmost efforts.

Before things have stabilized, another Vortex Demon God has emerged, and it could break the seal at any moment to seek revenge on Liyue for the grudge from a thousand years ago.

Liyue is currently beset by internal and external troubles, giving Ningguang a huge headache. Although she wields immense power, she is still just an ordinary possessor of the Eye of God.

Even if the Demon God's power is reduced to less than one-tenth after being unsealed, it is still enough to give the entire Liyue region a hard time in the face of the Demon God's threat.

Ningguang is currently trying to find ways to gather all the factors that could influence victory into her own hands.

Gan Yu looked at Ning Guang, who was frowning and deep in thought. Although she didn't want to interrupt, time was very precious, so she spoke up directly.

"Lady Ningguang, the time we have to prepare is extremely precious. Please gather the Seven Stars immediately to discuss how to deal with the attack of the Demon God."

“Yes! Time is of the essence now. Know everything and be knowledgeable. Quickly inform Qixing to come to the Jade Pavilion and tell him that something big is about to happen in Liyue.”

"Yes." X3

Ningguang quickly instructed the three women behind her to go to Liyue and gather the Seven Stars at the Jade Pavilion.

"I'm sorry you witnessed this embarrassing scene."

Ningguang regained her previous calm and composed demeanor, but her slightly trembling fingers revealed the turmoil within her.

After all, to the people of this world, the Demon God is a weapon of mass destruction, and whether it lives or dies, it will cause serious consequences to the area. Therefore, the best option is to seal the Demon God away.

However, the Demon God could break the seal at any moment, like a time bomb, threatening Liyue at all times.

Seemingly sensing Ningguang's unease, Ganyu gently patted her chest and reassured her.

"Lord Ningguang, if the Vortex Demon God breaks the seal, we immortals will, in accordance with the ancient pact with the Emperor, join forces to fight against the Demon God's invasion."
