At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Look, I've never seen this kind of clothing before! His aura is also completely out of place in Liyue, and he's very handsome. Is he a traveler from some country?"

"That's rare. That noble air must belong to someone of great status."

“Oh~” On the second floor of the rock tea house, a young man with pockmarks on his face stared at Luo Sheng, who was passing by on the street, for a few seconds.

"The clothing was not found in any of the seven kingdoms, and the aura emanating from the person was also very strange, giving rise to a strange sense of holiness within me."

She had only ever felt this way with the Emperor, who appeared in the form of a dragon during the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony.

"It doesn't seem to be a deity. This unusual cultural style doesn't belong to Liyue. Could it be a god from another country descending? Or perhaps an unknown demon god?"

The young man felt this was a bit absurd; he didn't even know why he was thinking this way.

"Boss, should we investigate this?" a middle-aged tea server walked over and asked in a low voice.

"He's strange. Don't get too close. He's dangerous, extremely dangerous. Don't show any hostility. Ensuring the safety of Liyue Harbor is the top priority," the young man whispered.

"it is good."

After the young man finished speaking, blue elemental energy flowed through his body, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into an ordinary freckled-faced girl: "Come back. Take this message to Tianquan Star, and I will investigate it personally." After saying this, his figure disappeared.

"Oh~" Luo Sheng smiled. He had just entered Liyue Harbor when he was stared at by several pairs of eyes. They were quite vigilant.

The Liyue authorities, the Celestials, and Morax all took notice of him the moment he stepped into Liyue Harbor.

That's normal, though, since his heroic spirit body, while appearing to be made of flesh and blood, is essentially a high-energy being. Its power scale is equivalent to that of the Liyue Sage, but its level of power is even higher than that of the Seven Gods.

Putting everything else aside, the 'omnipotent divine power' he possesses alone is enough to keep Morax on his toes.

"Alright, sir, here's your stir-fried river fish and moon eggs. Please enjoy. Guoba, please set out the bowls and chopsticks for the guests at the next table."

"No, no~"

Los Saint stopped and looked at the restaurant 'Wanmin Hall' on his left. The restaurant was very large, a two-story building. In the main hall on the first floor, there were more than a dozen tables neatly arranged. There was also an open-air dining area at the back of the restaurant, where a half-human-sized creature resembling a teddy bear was clumsily setting out bowls and chopsticks.

Most of the tables in the restaurant were already full; it was already late at night, and the number of diners was gradually decreasing.

A girl with short, dark blue hair, dressed in red, yellow, and black clothes with ancient-style makeup, is serving dishes to the guests. Although her clothes do not cover her arms and legs, there is no sense of squalor, only the feeling of a lively girl next door.

A fire elemental eye hanging at her waist added a touch of glamour to her simple demeanor.

"Master Mao's skills have improved again."

"Yes, this meal was really satisfying."

"Oh, no way! My Xiangling's cooking skills have already surpassed mine. It's a pity she just came back from finding ingredients outside, otherwise Xiangling would have been in charge of cooking today."

As Luo Sheng entered Wanmintang, the young woman quickly said, "Welcome to Wanmintang, please wait a moment, sir." She then handed him the menu.

Xiangling looked at the strangely dressed and eccentric young man with some doubt, but she didn't find it strange. She had even traveled to a neighboring country to find ingredients, so she had seen many people dressed in strange ways.

"Guoba, get a set of bowls and chopsticks for the guest, and pour them a cup of hot tea."

"Mmm~" Guoba, who looked like a little bear doll, wiggled his short legs and wobbled over while carrying a teapot.

"Thank you." Luo Sheng took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. Without looking at the menu, he recited the names of the dishes from his memory.

"One serving of fragrant and tender spicy chicken, one serving of crystal shrimp, one serving of golden shrimp balls, one serving of braised shredded vegetables, one serving of lotus seed and poultry egg custard, one serving of braised pork and bamboo shoots, one serving of mutton, one serving of crispy rice crust, one serving of matsutake mushroom and meat rolls, one serving of fisherman's toast, one serving of jade fruit soup, one serving of Yan Gang seafood, and finally, one serving of golden crab."

"Please add another set of bowls and chopsticks."

"Just two people? Do the guests want to order this much?" Xiangling asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, it won't be wasted, but as a picky diner, I do have some requirements for food." Luo Sheng looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, pointed at her, and laughed, "I need you to cook these dishes."

"Oh? It seems this is the first time this guest has visited Wanmintang. To specifically request Xiangling to cook for you on your first visit, you must have heard about Chef Xiangling somewhere and come here." Chef Mao laughed heartily.

Xiangling has been running around Liyue in search of ingredients, and even went to Sumeru to look for mushrooms recently. Many travelers from other countries have heard the story of a talented young chef in Liyue Harbor.

"Is there a problem? If this meal satisfies me, I won't be stingy with my gifts." Luo Sheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. The taste was refreshing. It was green tea brewed with spring water. The preparation was very meticulous, showing a love for the ingredients. This must be tea brewed by Xiang Ling.

"A favor? It seems you're quite an important person, young man. Xiangling, then why don't you show our Wanmintang culinary skills to the guests?" Chef Mao said with some surprise, then in a hearty manner.

The word "favor" should not be used carelessly. Usually, only immortals and emperors use this word. Even the wealthiest merchants would not use "favor" but would use words such as "reward" or "reward".

This guy has an extraordinary aura; could he be some kind of immortal being from another country?

"Alright, watch my cooking!" Xiangling was overjoyed. This young man must have heard of her name during his travels and came to Wanmintang specifically after arriving in Liyue. This was a stranger's expectation of her cooking skills, so she had to give it her all.

"Mmm~ Gurgle~" Guoba wiggled its short legs and placed a bowl and chopsticks on the other side of the table.

"Is this rice crust? Come here for a moment," Luo Sheng said, putting down his teacup.

"Gurgle?" Guoba tilted its head in confusion and wiggled its chubby body to come in front of him.

Los Saint reached out and touched its head. A dim light emanated from Guoba's head and enveloped its entire body, lasting only for two seconds.

"The power is shattered and disappears, and the shattering of power leads to the shattering of self-awareness as well, leaving only a last bit of core. However, the personhood has not disappeared. Once a new power is obtained, normalcy can be restored."

"Gurgle?" Guoba blinked.

"It's alright." Luo Sheng withdrew his hand and said. Generally speaking, the demon gods are of the same rank, but the difference in their power is greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

The difference in power mainly comes from authority, but the authority of the furnace is too narrow. The narrower the scope of authority, the weaker the power of the demon god.

However, even the weakest demon god is still equivalent to a seventh-rank or higher in his system.

The strength of power is also related to the world itself. For example, if the earth is made of salt, then the power of the Salt Demon God would be absolutely immense.

The first dish was served quickly.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Instead of picking up his chopsticks, Luo Sheng filled the empty teacup opposite him with tea, then sat down again to continue drinking.

One dish after another was served, and soon the table was piled high with the food he had ordered.

"The last dish is Jade Fruit Soup." Xiangling placed the last bowl of soup in the center of the table. "Are you waiting for your companions, guests?"

“Don’t worry about the food getting cold. Look, it’s kept at the temperature it was served at,” Luo Sheng said, noticing the worry on Xiang Ling’s face.

"Really?! Could it be that you are a celestial being?" Xiangling exclaimed in surprise, then whispered. Her master, Granny Ping, was also a celestial being who lived in Yujingtai.

Luo Sheng didn't speak. The person he was waiting for had arrived, but he didn't turn around. He smiled and said, "It's not good to keep guests waiting for so long."

Xiangling was puzzled, then turned around in surprise: "Mr. Zhongli, I didn't expect that the person you were waiting for was Mr. Zhongli."

"I have never seen Mr. Zhongli being invited out by anyone at the night market."

"Excuse me, Miss Xiangling," came a calm and reassuring male voice.

A handsome young man with a touch of dignity walked through the gates of Wanmin Hall, dressed in a black and khaki outfit that combined Western and Chinese styles.

Although he looks like a young man, he has the leisurely air of an elderly person. This leisure makes people subconsciously think that he is a knowledgeable, calm and reliable young man the moment they see him.

"Mr. Zhongli, please come in." Xiangling hurriedly and warmly welcomed him. Every time Mr. Zhongli came to eat, he would give her accurate evaluations of her dishes and point out the shortcomings, which made her cooking skills improve significantly each time.

Zhongli looked at the 'being' who hadn't stood up or looked at him, but was waiting for him to sit down and spoke.

"Sir, I apologize for the delay on the way. I hope you don't mind."

He could only describe it as 'existence'. It was clear that this was just a 'divine consciousness body', but the power it possessed made him feel threatened.

Furthermore, he couldn't discern what that power was at all; with just a slight gaze, he saw all the 'powers' he knew.

Incredible, utterly incomprehensible, a power encompassing the manifestation of all energy; he could only interpret this power as 'omnipotence'.

Moreover, although His status is very high, and He appears to be a high-ranking deity, that is only an appearance, a shell called 'deity', while His inner self is an even higher being.

At least in his view, he was in a higher position than the one on Skye Island.

This being's true form is not in Teyvat, but not being in Teyvat does not mean it cannot come to Teyvat.

This is even more terrifying, as its true form is unknown, yet it is able to interfere with Teyvat.

Who can guarantee that the other party won't use an even more powerful 'divine sense'?

So he was observing, and if the other party showed any ill intent, he would act immediately.

But the other party did not show any malice; instead, they ordered food from Wanmintang.

When he saw the second set of bowls and chopsticks, he realized that his gaze had been noticed and that the other party was inviting him to show himself.

"Sit down," Luo Sheng said calmly, as if he were speaking to an ordinary friend.

Wow, Zhongli's condition isn't very good, which means he can't fully control his own power, but he has a lot of authority.

He possesses even more power than Quetzal, a top-tier god, and most of his power is at the god-level. He has even progressed far beyond the god-level. If he hadn't suffered any 'wear and tear,' he would probably be comparable to a great god of immense power.

Right now, his divine sense can only sense that Zhongli possesses a great deal of high-quality power, but he doesn't know exactly what it is, though he can guess some of it.

Zhong Li sat down opposite Luo Sheng with a calm expression, naturally without any restraint, and went straight to the point while looking at the unfathomable figure in front of him.

"What is your purpose in coming to Liyue and to this world, sir?"

"Oh~ The first thing you said after sitting down got straight to the point? Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat a bite of the delicious food made by a girl in such a passionate state?" Luo Sheng picked up a golden shrimp ball at will and put it in his mouth. He bit into the crispy shell and the bouncy shrimp meat exploded in his mouth. The unique deliciousness of Teyvat cuisine instantly satisfied him.

"Sir, do you still understand the lives of ordinary people? This is truly impolite." Zhongli realized what was going on when he saw this. The fact that the other party understood humans already proved his goodwill.

The other party's location is such that it is also inhabited by humans.

Zhongli picked up his chopsticks and elegantly began to eat. Most of the dishes here were mountain delicacies, with very few seafood, which suited his taste.

"I did send a divine thought to this world with a purpose," Luo Sheng said, seeing that Zhong Li was not being polite.

"Your world is connected to my world in some way, and things from your world will randomly fall into my world."

"This connection is one-way; nothing from my world will fall into your hands."

"If you actively search for the passage, you will not be able to find it. I am a special being, which is why I can directly send a divine thought over to take a look."

He is the source, which is why he can actively track the 'dimensional passage'. Otherwise, even if it were a god with great power over space, he could only sense abnormal spatial fluctuations and would not be able to actively traverse the passage.

“An invisible passage? Some mortals do suddenly disappear in Liyue these days,” Zhongli said. Two days ago, some mortals vanished without his noticing. He searched all over Teyvat for them, and he even suspected that it was the shadow from Sky Isle that did it.

Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "Some gods also came over. You might be quite familiar with them: Fukaros, Buyer, Raiden Shin. Oh, Raiden Shin was someone I brought over on my own initiative."

“…” Zhong Li’s hand trembled as he picked up the food, but then he regained his composure.

"Your purpose is probably not just to bring the gods of Teyvat over there; there must be a deeper reason."

If you want a god, it's easier to cultivate one yourself, just like the 'shards' scattered by the one on Sky Island led to the birth of many demon gods.

Luo Sheng did not answer Zhong Li's question: "Your world is about to be destroyed, and the destruction will take place between one and three thousand years from now."

"Your universe is so hostile to the living; it's undergoing 'vacuum decay'."

"Vacuum decay?" Zhong Li stopped what he was doing; it was the first time he had ever heard this term.
