At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Fortunately, thanks to Lord Barbatos's divine power, Mondstadt has a mild climate and is a major food-producing country, otherwise we would really be facing a food crisis."

"Has Lord Barbatos said when he will take Mondstadt to another world?" Abedo asked eagerly. "The entire population of Mondstadt is currently gathered near Mondstadt city."

"Of course, I'm more concerned about how the power of another world can expand the field of alchemy."

“Speaking of the other world, we have to thank Barbatos, otherwise the whole of Mondstadt would have been in complete chaos like Sumeru.” Falgar said thankfully. Barbatos was the ballast of the Mondstadt people. As long as Barbatos was there, there was nothing to worry about.

Although the Mondstadt people were too blindly devoted to Barbatos, and there were many things Barbatos couldn't do, this kind of blind faith was even more necessary during times of tension.

"Everyone, please get back to your work. We don't know where Barbatos has gone, so we can only try to contact him using the communicator Ms. Alice gave us."

the other side.

Los Saint appeared in Mondstadt, his golden eyes surveying his surroundings.

A languid and peaceful atmosphere permeated Mondstadt, a unique ambiance of the city, with the air filled with the subtle scent of fruit wine.

The main street was wide, and the buildings on both sides were in the style of medieval Western Europe. They were simple and rustic, and the pedestrians on the street all had a leisurely and peaceful air about them. Only the patrolling knights dressed in the uniforms of the Knights of Favonius were slightly more energetic.

"Sure enough, the lazy time has corrupted even the wind, and then the wind has blown civilization to this state." Luo Sheng walked down the street, and the passersby ignored him. He didn't want anyone to see him, so naturally no one could see him, including the gods.

Some passersby were chatting in small groups on the side.

"Eh, it's been a long time since I've seen Lord Fengshen since his identity was revealed."

"Yes, if I had known that drunken poet was the Wind God, I should have invited Him for a drink. Alas, I regret it now."

"Yes, even the Wind God is so poor that he has to make a living by performing. We are truly guilty of a terrible sin."

"Yes, so I bought the finest wine from 'Angel's Gift' and offered it under the statue of the wind god in the square."

"No wonder there's so much wine under the statue of the Wind God. I'll go buy a bottle to offer as a sacrifice."

"But even with all that wine, we haven't seen Lord Fengshen come out again. Sigh."

"How silly! Miss Barbara said that the wine offered to the Wind God is always less the next morning, but we just didn't notice because there was so much wine being offered."

Los Santos walked to Mondstadt Square, where the Statue of the Anemo was the largest statue in Teyvat and could be seen from anywhere in Mondstadt.

Although Barbatos usually slacks off, he is essentially maintaining the climate of Mondstadt, so he doesn't have much divine power on a daily basis.

He wields the power of 'freedom' and is the freest of the seven elements, 'wind', yet he is the least free god in all of Teyvat.

A circle of wine bottles, all kinds of wine, were placed under the statue of the wind god. Luo Sheng casually picked up a bottle, pushed the cork off with his thumb, and started drinking.

"The taste is pretty good, at least it's top-notch among ordinary products."

The major civilizations on Earth have long since developed a quality of life far exceeding that of the inhabitants of Teyvat, and their wines are also divided into grades such as 'common,' 'super,' and 'divine,' with 'super' naturally being comparable to those extraordinary beings at the second and third tiers.

No matter how excellent the wine made by ordinary people with ordinary ingredients is, it can only be considered "ordinary". Extraordinary wine has a level of sophistication that goes beyond just the taste.

Time passed slowly, and Los Saint watched as many people placed wine at the feet of the Anemo statue. The sun gradually set, and Mondstadt was still lively at night, but it was still far less bustling than Liyue's Evernight.

At night, only the taverns in Mondstadt are still lively; the rest of the city has already closed up and gone out.

"Oh dear, I should have just changed into a fake appearance. Now I'm too scared to come out during the day." A wisp of blue light appeared from the flower bed, and the figure of a boy in a green cloak cautiously stepped out, looking around nervously.

"There shouldn't be anyone hiding there who I wouldn't notice, right?"

Since his identity was exposed, the people of Mondstadt have been extremely enthusiastic whenever he appears. He had no choice but to leave the world's sight for the time being.

As Wendy spoke, she looked at the pile of wine bottles at the foot of the Anemo statue and kept swallowing.

"Gulp~ Sigh, compared to Grandpa Morax, I'm really not doing so well. How come the old man can act like an ordinary person and still have people rushing to bring him food and drink?"

"I can only earn a few mora by busking on weekdays."

"Now that my identity has been exposed, they're actually offering me so much wine."

"I least want to use my identity as the Wind God to make my people spend money. I'm so sorry."

As Wendy spoke, she rubbed her hands together and cautiously approached the statue's feet, as if she were doing something wrong.

He did not want the people of Mondstadt to fall into poverty by worshipping him and praying for his blessings. It would be contrary to his original intention to have families who were already destitute buy offerings to the god.

Fortunately, the Church of the West Wind understood his meaning and did not allow those Mondstadt citizens from poor families to spend money on offerings. If they had already made offerings, they would compensate Mora for it.

But this put him in a dilemma. Going back to the beginning, the wine offered to him was roughly equivalent to what the Church of the West Wind bought.

"Sigh, having to sneak around to drink a bottle of wine that's meant to be offered to oneself, is that something else?" Wendy stealthily grabbed a bottle of wine, quickly retreated, hid in the bushes, and started drinking.

"Sigh, I wonder when Lord Tenri will arrive. It's been almost a month already. Could he have forgotten about me... sigh..."

Wendy was talking to herself, seemingly trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

"Those four have all followed Lord Tianli, so a demon god like me won't be valued much anymore, sigh..."

"My old boss has gone to another world, and I don't have any backing here. It's really tough."

“Being a god is difficult, being a good god is even more difficult, and being a good god without any backing is the most difficult of all… Sigh.” Wendy sighed again.

"It's alright, at least I'm much better than that 'little kid' in Sumeru."

"Speaking of which, the Great Tree King was the first to go to the other world, and he was already the 'World Tree' incarnation of that world. In terms of rank, he was no less than his old boss, right?"

"If they knew what was going on between their successor and their people, what choice would they make?"

"This is far beyond the Mondstadt nobility era. According to the 'godhood system' established by Lord Tenryu, isn't this going to be a grand trial to purge the guilty?"

Just as Wendy was pondering this, a foot kicked him in the butt.

"Who!" Wendy's expression changed, and he was about to defend himself, but the next moment he found that his strength had completely subsided and he could not mobilize even a little bit. He was kicked solidly in the butt.

"Ouch!" Wendy fell face-first to the ground like a dog, her mouth full of grass. At the same time, a familiar scent came from behind her, and Wendy froze.

"Oh, Barbatos, why are you drowning your sorrows in alcohol? I think I just heard you talking behind my back. Are you perhaps complaining about something?"

Wendy mechanically turned his head, his lips twitching. Had Lord Tenri been behind him the whole time? Had he heard all of his usual complaints?

"Hey, hehe... Oh dear, Lord Tianli, I wasn't trying to drown my sorrows in alcohol. I just haven't felt your majesty in so long and I miss it so much." Wendy quickly rubbed her hands together, looking obsequious, completely lacking the demeanor of a god, and instead blinked her eyes.

"Lord Tenri, have you appeared here to take Mondstadt back? Is that so? Is that so? You must be right! At your command, I, Barbatos, would never dare disobey!"

Luo Sheng looked at Wendy, who was fawning and winking and trying to act cute, with a look of disgust: "That was what I originally thought, but when I heard that someone seemed to have some complaints about me, I started to waver. What if I bring that person over and they hold a grudge and want to stab me in the back?"

"How could that be?! Lord Tenri!!!" Barbatos was so frightened that his braids stood on end, and he almost knelt down: "I, Barbatos, am a loyal subject! Those who break their promises should be punished by the Rock-Eating Clan!!! My former superior, Lord Istaru, can bear witness to this!!!"

Chapter 179: When the Wind God Dons His Crown, Mondstadt Travels to Another World

"Alright, stop fooling around." Luo Sheng looked at Wendy with disdain as she was about to kneel down and burst into tears.

"Hurry up and make preparations so that all the Mondstadt people can enter Mondstadt. I will bring Mondstadt and the islands below with me."

"Yes, yes, I'm all ready. All the Mondstadt people are already near Mondstadt." Wendy stood up instantly, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. He rubbed his hands together, looking exactly like a sycophant following his young master.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Tenri, quite a few humans have come from Sumeru. Do you think we should take them all with us?"

“Of course, of course, it’s fine if you don’t take them. I’ll send them all back to Sumeru.” Wendy quickly said. Although he had no objection to the Sumeru people going to Mondstadt, he still distinguished between the Sumeru people and the Mondstadt people. After all, in the current situation, he couldn’t make a decision for the Sumeru Grass God without her consent.

Even though the situation of the Grass God is very special now.

"Sumeru, huh? To be a god to that extent is truly unparalleled. If I were to entrust a civilization or planet to her, I'd worry that it would veer towards extremes." Luo Sheng couldn't help but snort coldly upon hearing the story of the grass god Nasita.

However, Nasita's situation cannot be entirely blamed on her, after all, her circumstances are also very special. In his view, the difference between gods and humans is only the difference in their way of being born and the difference in their power.

Gods, like humans, also need to grow. The environment in which a human is situated will more or less shape him into the form that the environment dictates.

The same applies to deities. A deity's environment is determined by either the deity's power in shaping the environment or the environment shaping the deity in turn.

Nasita was the latter, shaped by her environment, which led her to doubt her own abilities and self-worth, and even to become cowardly, feeling that she was unable to shoulder the burden of a civilization or point the way for it.

In this state, humans who are accustomed to the gods cannot see the direction of the future from the gods and thus fall into confusion and extremes, while the gods also fall into self-doubt due to the distrust of humans.

The growth of gods takes too long; humans cannot wait that long for gods to mature to the point where they can derive expectations from them.

There's nothing wrong with either side; the problem lies in the fact that their time horizons are not aligned.

Both sides also have problems, failing to realize the root of the problem, which has led to a misperception between them.

"..." Wendy looked at Los Saint, whose expression suddenly turned cold, and couldn't help but swallow. He quietly took out a handkerchief from his body to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Oh, he didn't have cold sweat, because he was too used to using human form, and his habits were biased towards humans.

The Grass God is probably going to suffer this time.

This has already caused discontent before even summoning the grass god; what will happen in the future?

They probably won't eliminate the Grass God, right? They probably won't.

In his opinion, the Grass God was actually quite pitiful. He had secretly observed him but did not interfere.

Although the body is imprisoned, the Grass God has the power of dreams. Although it is much weaker than the Great Tree King, this power alone cannot confine the Grass God, who has always been active in Sumeru.

Therefore, he believed that the Sumeru people did not expect the Grass God, which was why the Grass God did not want to come out of its imprisonment. If it wanted to come out, it would have done so long ago.

The idea that humans could use the creations of the gods to imprison them is essentially a fantasy.

There's an old saying in Liyue: "Better to die for your friend than for yourself." I'd better not say anything more.

"Hehe~ I'll get right on it, I'll be right there." Wendy instantly vanished in a gust of wind.

The next moment, they found themselves inside a Western cathedral.

The nuns in the West Wind Cathedral are cleaning the dust in the church.

Many people come to the Cathedral of the West Wind to pray every day, especially after the identity of the wind god was revealed, the number of people coming has increased even more, and the work of the nuns and priests has also increased.

The nuns only began cleaning up the dust after the last group of Mondstadt prayers had left that evening.

"This is such a headache. I've told everyone so many times that the oracle of the Wind God clearly states not to put wine in the church, yet people still do it. Sigh." Sister Victoria walked out of the church carrying a box full of various wines, looking annoyed. "Everyone, please clean up first. I'll take the wine to the square."

“Yes, Sister Victoria, I will make an announcement to everyone in Mondstadt tomorrow.” Barbara was dusting the chair with a feather duster, a hint of fatigue on her delicate face.

Since the identity of the Wind God was exposed, and Teyvat has become very chaotic, with the constant preparation to go to another world, the people of Mondstadt come to pray twice a day for solace.

So everyone at the Cathedral of the West was exhausted, but it was all worth it to relieve the tension in Mondstadt.

"I wonder where Rosalia has run off to again. Every time we clean, we can't find her," a nun said with some dissatisfaction.

"She's probably busy with other things. After all, Rosalia is in charge of the night watch, and she always seems listless," another nun said.

"Miss Barbara hasn't sung in a while, sigh, she seems so listless," Sister Grace said listlessly. She was the president of Barbara's fan club.

"If Sister Grace wants to hear me sing, I'll sing for you after I finish cleaning," Barbara said with a smile, her cheeks slightly flushed, a little shy.

"No, no, Miss Barbara is just as tired as we are, you mustn't get sick from overworking yourself," Grace quickly said.

"It's alright, my ability is healing, I won't get sick," Barbara said, feeling a little regretful that her Eye of God was water elemental. Why wasn't it the Eye of the Wind God? Then she would be like her sister.
