Mondstadt.
This is a land of wind and freedom.
During the war between the demons, this kingdom was still shrouded in ice and snow and fierce winds.
After Barbatos became the victor in the Demon War in Mondstadt and ascended to the throne, he used a great deal of divine power to quell the snowstorms, cut off the snow-capped mountains and threw them into the sea, turning the entire Mondstadt into a plain where spring reigns all year round, and where fine wine and poetry abound.
Moreover, Barbatos used his power to weave a divine corridor of climate stability, the 'Millennium Symphony,' across the entire land of Mondstadt.
If he doesn't use his divine power to stabilize the climate, Mondstadt will quickly revert to a world of ice and snow.
The largest plain in Mondstadt, the Windrise Plain.
A gentle breeze rustled the grass on the plain, and a single windmill-shaped chrysanthemum appeared scattered among the meadows. In the distance, traveling merchants could be seen walking along the trade route.
A gentle breeze caressed my face, and everything seemed so relaxed and pleasant.
In the center of the wind-blown land, a giant oak tree sheds its withered yellow leaves in the breeze. Beneath the oak tree stands a tall statue of the wind god, from which the elemental power of wind is slowly released.
From a distance, it looks like a beam of light radiating from the statue into the sky.
Huhu~
The leaves of the giant oak tree were suddenly shaken by the spinning tornado, and a blue light gathered on the crown, quickly forming a sphere.
A boy with a pair of bluish-white wings on his back emerged from the sphere. His bluish pupils were somewhat bewildered, panicked, and confused.
"Oh dear! The old man's divine power! And it's specifically targeting me!"
"What is the old man doing? Is he planning to bring Mondstadt into Liyue's territory while I'm asleep?"
Something's not right. This doesn't seem like the old man. He prefers to stay in his little corner of Liyue. He's never been heard of leaving Liyue on his own initiative in thousands of years.
Upon realizing a certain possibility, Barbatos instantly became extremely nervous.
"Could it be that the old man has finally been worn down to the point of madness?!"
Wear and tear is a very unreasonable thing; it can go crazy in an instant.
Especially since the old man is one of the seven oldest gods, having lived for over six thousand years, it's no wonder he's so old, it's no wonder he's gone mad.
"Oh no, oh no, what should I do if the old man calls?" Barbatos panicked. He was no match for the old man in his current state.
Even if he had to maintain the environment of Mondstadt at all times, he wouldn't be confident that he could beat the crazy old man, even if he were temporarily 'crowned'.
The old man earned his position by defeating demons one by one in the Demon Wars; his throne as Barbatos was purely by luck.
Moreover, during the War of Kanria five hundred years ago, the old man was incredibly powerful. Many gods died or were severely injured, but the old man was completely unharmed. How could he possibly fight like that?
Can Barbatos fight? No, he can't. He doesn't have the ability.
"Calm down, calm down. Maybe I'm just guessing." Barbatos took a deep breath, the wings behind him disappeared, and his divine armor transformed into green bard's attire.
"Given the old man's personality, even if he's worn down, he'll still make arrangements for his affairs afterward."
"Oh, Morax really is attacking, are you going to fight or not?" A calm voice rang out from the side.
Barbatos instinctively replied, "We'll definitely fight, but whether we can win is another matter." The next moment, he turned his head in shock, his expression horrified.
"you you……"
Before him sat a young man lounging on a tree branch, watching him with amusement. The young man exuded a faint aura of high status, a wisp of divine thought that seemed about to dissipate.
He hadn't even noticed this wisp of divine thought appearing beside him; it was clear how terrifying this wisp of divine thought was.
Meanwhile, rock elements gathered beneath the giant oak tree, and Morax emerged from them, using the earth's rock elements for spatial movement.
After Morax appeared, he flew up and looked at his old friend, whose expression was one of horror: "Barbatos."
Barbatos stammered nervously, "Old man! What are you doing running off to Mondstadt?" He was also ready to fight at any moment.
Los Saint was amused by Barbatos: "Haha~ Zhongli, what did you do to Barbatos before? How could you scare him like this?"
Zhongli shook his head: "I didn't do anything. Barbatos has always been like this, Lord Tianli."
Barbatos can be quite absurd at times. Right after the Demon God War ended, Barbatos came to Liyue. He thought Barbatos was in trouble and was going to help him out, but it turned out he just came to have a drink with him.
It's truly absurd to abandon one's duties as a god just to find him for a drink.
"What?" Barbatos was stunned by Morax's name for the divine thought, and then felt a chill run down his spine.
"Heavens! Lord Heavenly Justice!"
Wasn't Phanes a goddess? Has she already fallen? And the new arrival has become the new order of things?
What happened during his five hundred years of slumber and recovery? What major events did he miss?
"Heavens, Lord Heavenly Justice, hehe... I wonder what business you have with me in Mondstadt?" Barbatos immediately lowered his head and bowed, grinning sheepishly, looking weak and helpless.
Suspecting the other party's identity? No, no, no, Morax wouldn't do something so ridiculous.
Moreover, he truly felt that the power contained in this wisp of divine thought was extremely high, ridiculously high, much higher than that of the four shadows.
Therefore, without a doubt, this is the new Heavenly Principle.
As a new official, he doesn't even know what his superior's boss thinks of him. If he's to be laid off, he'll be finished.
Being laid off is like a death sentence.
"Quite interesting indeed, on par with Walnut." Luo Sheng smiled as he looked at the smirking and ingratiating Barbatos. With a subordinate like Barbatos, there would be plenty of fun to come.
“I have to agree with that.” Zhongli nodded. Barbatos and Hu Tao were both types he wasn’t good at dealing with. Barbatos was alright; if he went too far, he could just shoot him.
"Hehe..." Barbatos scratched his head awkwardly. He really didn't know how to react to being cricketed in front of him, especially since it was the old man and Lord Tianli who were cricketing him.
So, does this mean he passed the test in front of the new Lord Tianli?
Also...who is Hu Tao?
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not the one from Sky Island," Luo Sheng said with a smile.
"However, it is indeed the law of nature, but it is the law of nature from another world."
"Huh?" Barbatos was dumbfounded. Wait a minute, the vocabulary is a bit too big. Let me reorganize what I'm hearing.
The one from Sky Island didn't die; the Tenri before us is actually the Tenri of another world.
Why does the old man act like a subordinate?
hiss--
Barbatos gasped as if he were sucking up the very cold winter air, staring at Morax in disbelief.
Holy crap! The old man betrayed us! He brought the laws of the other world to Teyvat!
Oh no! We've found out a secret we shouldn't know!
He instantly realized his current predicament: he had learned a secret he shouldn't have known. He had to either go along with the corrupt officials or be eliminated!
Barbatos instantly struggled to find the words; if he weren't a wind spirit, he would be drenched in sweat by now: "Old man, please pretend I didn't hear or see anything, okay? I promise I'll have amnesia right now!"
Chapter 133: Earth's Rank Soars, Immortals Fall to Wudang Mountain
“Now that things have come to this, Barbatos, are you joking?” Los Saint said with amusement, raising his hand, a golden light swirling around his fingertips.
Barbatos possesses a high level of power, though not as much as Morax. However, his power is more mysterious than Morax's, which is understandable given his possession of the power of time.
However, he doesn't have much power at his disposal right now. Unless he fights recklessly regardless of Mondstadt's power, he's only equivalent to an ordinary true god, not reaching the strength of a supreme god.
Although this wisp of divine thought was about to dissipate, the remaining omnipotent divine power could still give Barbatos a pleasant surprise.
The quality of Almighty God's power is extremely high. To put it metaphorically, Almighty God's power is like a block of iron, while other powers are only like tofu. They won't collapse with a single blow, but they are like a needle piercing tofu.
"No, no, no..." Barbatos felt the chilling sharpness on the fingers of the otherworldly Tenri and hurriedly said, "Please try to communicate with Tenri again, I promise I will behave myself."
Fight? Of course not! He couldn't even beat the old man, let alone the forces of another world. He felt like a huge 'death' had appeared on his forehead.
“Morax, you talk to Barbatos,” Los Saint said to Zhong Li, the sharpness at his fingertips disappearing, a slight smile playing on his lips, his mood extremely pleasant.
"Phew..." Barbatos breathed a sigh of relief. He was so nervous just now that he almost got killed by the old man and the otherworldly reason.
"Old man, what's wrong?" Barbatos looked at Morax with a resentful expression.
“Barbatos, you’re still as unserious as ever.” Zhongli shook his head. “Things aren’t what you think.” As he spoke, Zhongli condensed an amber-colored stone with elemental energy in his hand and handed it to Barbatos.
Rocks can record the oldest memories in the world; he poured all the memories he knew into the rocks.
"Not what I thought?" Barbatos reached out and caught the rock. The memories within the rock were quickly read. His blue eyes widened rapidly, his expression shifting from surprise to shock, then from shock to excitement, then from excitement to fervor. Finally, he swallowed hard and looked at Los Santos with a playful smile.
"Oh dear! Lord Tenri! If you're here to interview me, just say so! You almost scared me to death just now." Barbatos's expression changed instantly, as if he had become a shrewd and obsequious waiter in a tavern, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
Oh my goodness, these aren't invaders, they're saviors! No, no, no, they've given each god a planet right off the bat. Saviors aren't enough, this is the father of all life in Teyvat!
"..." Zhongli looked at Barbatos's fawning manner without expression, a hint of speechless disbelief deep in his eyes.
Luo Sheng smiled as he looked at Barbatos, whose expression had changed instantly: "Oh~ weren't you going to fight to the death? Barbatos, I still prefer your unruly self just now. Please recover."
"How could that be? I've never been aggressive. Great Lord Tianli, you see, even the old man has a ball, can I pick one too?" Barbatos said obsequiously.
He was one of only two of the Seven Gods, besides the old man, who knew that Teyvat was about to perish. The reason he was usually so 'free' was mainly because he knew he had no power to worry about the fate of Teyvat.
All we can do is try our best to make the people of Mondstadt live freely and happily until the end of the world.
Now a broad road lies before him, and he would be the biggest fool in Teyvat if he didn't seize it.
Let alone flattery, he wouldn't hesitate to kneel down and kowtow without hesitation.
And you get a planet right at the start! A planet! Teyvat is just a planet, a planet that belongs to Mondstadt!
“No way,” Luo Sheng said with a smile.
"Lord Tenri! Please, please~" Barbatos pleaded pitifully, clasping his hands together and raising them above his head.
He knew from the memories given to him by the old man that this Lord Tianli was easy to get along with, which is why he dared to act this way. Otherwise, if it were that person from Sky Island, she wouldn't even acknowledge you, let alone listen to your rambling.
"..." Zhongli's speechlessness turned into understanding. Barbatos was really going all out for the people of Mondstadt, even disregarding his own reputation.
Seeing that Barbatos was about to kneel down, Los Saint waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, come on, pick one. Let me make it clear, this is your only chance."
With a thought, a miniature projection of the solar system appeared before Barbatos.
Barbatos was overjoyed and bowed to Los Saint: "Thank you, Lord Tianli, Lord Tianli is eternal." After saying that, he couldn't wait to lean closer to the solar system projection and stare at it with wide eyes.
"Gulp~"
Looking at so many planets, Barbatos swallowed hard, but he didn't let himself get carried away. He carefully analyzed and pondered which planet was more suitable for the Mondstadt people.
