Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Yakumo Yukari stood up and it was time to get down to business.

"I'm very happy that everyone has given me the honor to attend this banquet. I would like to thank everyone here..."

"Stop talking nonsense, Yakumo Yukari! Let's get straight to the point! I didn't come here to listen to this."

Before Yakumoko could finish her polite remarks, someone came to spoil her fun. Yuuka Kazami didn't attend this party just to listen to this boring nonsense.

Being interrupted, Yakumo Yukari was very angry, but since the person who interrupted her was the violent girl Kazama Yuuka, Yakumo Yukari just endured it. Although she was not afraid of Kazama Yuuka, she was not interested in a big fight with her.

"Now that things have come to this, I'll be frank! You may or may not know about the tragedy in the Moon City. I'll give you a brief introduction here."

"Humanity in the outside world is developing very rapidly in technology. After landing on the moon, they clashed violently with the sages of the Moon City, which eventually evolved into a space war between the Human Federation and the Moon City."

"And in the end, the Moon City suffered a terrible defeat. The Moon City's sages suffered heavy casualties, and the Moon City was almost breached. In the end, it was the Third Noble Son Yue Yejian who threatened to detonate the Moon, forcing the human space fleet to retreat."

The disastrous defeat in the Moon Capital was known to Eientei, Yakumo Yukari, the Tengu and Kappa on the Monster Mountain, but there were obviously more forces in Gensokyo that were unaware of it.

Yuuka Kazami doesn't know, Moriya Shrine doesn't know, Myourenji doesn't know, and let alone the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

These factions were hearing about the Moon City's disastrous defeat for the first time, and it shocked them immensely. Were the humans in the outside world so powerful now? Even the Moon City, ruled by Yue Yejian, one of the Three Noble Sons, was nearly breached. This was simply unbelievable, completely overturning their understanding.

"I know some people have known this news for a long time. Seeing that humans are developing very rapidly and Gensokyo is not very safe, they have made other plans."

Yakumo Yukari looked around at everyone, as if trying to find someone who had other plans.

"Of course, I can't blame them. After all, even I have been thinking about the future direction of Gensokyo in recent years."

"After all, judging by the current rate of development of humans in the outside world, the exposure of Gensokyo is inevitable within a hundred years at most."

Although others don’t know the exact time of Gensokyo’s ending, they had already anticipated it when they joined Gensokyo.

After all, Gensokyo is not separated from the outside world like a real cave or small world, but is just a part of the Japanese land divided by a large barrier. It is only a matter of time before it is exposed.

So even if Yakumo Yukari gave a specific time, no one would be too surprised. And wasn't Yakumo Yukari's invitation this time to solve this problem? To upgrade Gensokyo!

Upgrading Gensokyo is naturally the best solution, but it is really unlikely to upgrade Gensokyo.

So everyone came here this time to understand how Yakumo Yukari intends to upgrade Gensokyo. And what does she need them to do?

If possible, they don't mind helping out, but if the possibility is too small or too dangerous, they can only refuse.

Of course, some of those who knew about Li Xuan's existence understood that Yakumo Yukari invited so many people here not to ask them to do anything, but purely to give them benefits.

Li Xuan was the one who initiated the upgrading of Gensokyo, so they just had to sit back and reap the benefits. But what they didn't understand was why Yakumo Yukari was willing to give out so many benefits for no reason. Was she being kind, or perhaps she had developed feelings for them after spending so much time together?

How is this possible? Yakumo Yukari isn't the type of person to have that kind of personality! Is she really that kind? This whole thing has a weird vibe from beginning to end.

Chapter 642: Yagi Eirin, the Outspoken One

"So, in order to resolve the crisis facing Gensokyo, I have specially invited a powerful person from the outside world to upgrade the entire Gensokyo into an independent world."

When Yakumo Yukari said this, those who had not received the news in advance were shocked. Is this possible?

They are not ordinary people and do not understand the difficulty and value of this operation, especially Yagi Eirin, an ancient god who has been active since the Age of Gods. She knows too well the difficulty of upgrading Gensokyo to a cave paradise or even a small world.

When she followed Yue Yejian to the moon, she initially wanted to build a cave world of their own, but in the end she failed and only built a blessed place called the Moon City.

From that time on, the visionary Yagi Eirin foresaw that the Moon City would be like today. Without an independent world of its own, it would inevitably run into conflicts and contradictions with humans.

The only thing that Yagi Eirin had not foreseen was that humans would develop so rapidly, and that the Moon City would be defeated so badly and almost devastated.

If there was always a cave world belonging to the Moon City, then many things she didn't want to see would not happen, and the Moon City would not have reached the situation it is today.

However, Yakumo Yukari now told her that she wanted to upgrade Gensokyo. At first, Yagi Eirin was skeptical, but she held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Yakumo Yukari would not come to this banquet for talking nonsense.

But what was Yakumo Yukari saying? She invited a strong man to upgrade Gensokyo?

How could this be possible? Such a powerful being was so elusive during the Age of Gods, when Eight Senses Eirin was active. There was no chance of even meeting him, let alone being able to ask for his help.

While others might consider her an old demon, to Yakumo Yukari, the Eight Senses God, Eirin, she was merely a young woman born at the end of the Age of Gods. By the time she was born, such great gods had long since retired. How could Yakumo Yukari have known and invited such a great god? It was simply impossible.

The only creator god related to Gensokyo is probably Lady Kamiki, who opened up the demon world!

But even for her, it is almost impossible to open up the world in today's era, and she may even lose her life.

You have to know that the difficulty of creating a world in the Age of Gods is completely different from the difficulty of creating a world now.

Not only is there a lack of many conditions that were only available in the Age of Gods, but all the precious resources needed to assist in opening up the world have also been exhausted after the Age of Gods.

Therefore, Yagi Eirin was very puzzled as to where Yakumo Yukari came from, and why she invited such a powerful person to risk her life to upgrade Gensokyo?

So, is this really possible? Is what Yakumo Yukari said true or false?

This question was shared by almost everyone present, even those who knew of Li Xuan's existence. After all, the name Taichi wasn't very convincing in the world of Gensokyo. From beginning to end, only a few people close to Yakumo Yukari truly believed her.

Everyone is not stupid. Yakumo Yukari's performance is already very obvious. Obviously, the strong man who has been upgraded to Gensokyo that Yakumo Yukari mentioned is Li Xuan.

However, no one tacitly agreed to test Li Xuan, not even Komeiji Jue, whose passive telepathy had failed. She was no fool. Regardless of whether this was true or not, Li Xuan, who was immune to her passive telepathy, was clearly a powerful being. How could she be so tactless as to actively attempt to read his mind? Regardless of whether it worked or not, it would offend Li Xuan.

The others thought the same. Although everyone had their doubts, no one dared to be the first to speak out. After all, if they were made an example of someone, that would be too unfair. They all knew how to behave when facing a strong opponent.

This caused the scene to fall into an eerie silence.

In the end, it was Yagi Eirin who spoke first, breaking the silence. Of all the people present in Gensokyo, they, Eien-tei, were the most anxious to confirm the truth of this matter. After all, the situation in the Moon City was clear.

The others also knew this, so they chose to remain silent and wait for Yagi Eirin to be the first to speak out.

"Yakumo Yukari, the powerful person who promoted Gensokyo that you mentioned is the one sitting in the main seat?"

"Of course. This Lord Li Xuan is the expert I invited from the outside world to help me upgrade to Gensokyo."

Although this outside world is not what others imagine, it is not wrong to define it as a world outside of Gensokyo.

"Then forgive me for the offense!"

Bayi Yonglin respectfully performed an ancient ritual to Li Xuan, which was much more respectful than when he faced Yue Yejian.

"Yakumo Yukari, is your plan really possible? You have to understand that the difficulty of creating a world in the Age of Gods is completely different from that in the Age of Humans."

"Many people have many doubts about your plan."

When he said this, even though Bayi Yonglin had already bowed to Li Xuan to show his respect, he was still very nervous inside.

After all, this is an obvious doubt about Li Xuan. If Li Xuan was not a name from the Western Continent, Yagi Eirin would not dare to say so. After all, the gods in other myths are not so easy to talk to. Yagi Eirin's words are likely to be severely punished, and it is very likely that he will die or even implicate Kaguya.

If it was a strong man from the western continent, at most he would only punish her, and Bayi Yonglin was still willing to take this risk.

"Hey, you guys! You're so suspicious all the time! I solved the crisis in Gensokyo by myself, and I just let you share the cake. And yet you're still so suspicious? It's really annoying!"

Yakumo Yukari was also helpless. Although she understood that it was normal for these people to be suspicious, she was obviously kind enough to share a lot of benefits with them. It was a rare act of kindness, but she was treated so distrustfully by others, which really made her depressed.

However, this matter is really difficult to handle. In the final analysis, they simply do not believe that they can accomplish such a big thing, and they need Yakumo Yukari to provide favorable evidence. However, it is obvious that this evidence can only be proved by Li Xuan himself, which makes Yakumo Yukari a little embarrassed.

After all, isn't this just saying that Yakumo Yukari lacks prestige and isn't doing her job well? She was the one who invited Li Xuan here, and yet he agreed to take on such a monumental task. It's truly embarrassing that Yakumo Yukari can't even handle such a small matter, requiring Li Xuan to step in.

Chapter 643: Yakumo Yukari's Ruthless Taunting

"Okay, okay, it's useless to ask her this question. Let me answer it!"

Li Xuan also knew Yakumo Yukari's dilemma. She had no way to answer this question because the one who could really make the decision was Li Xuan, and only Li Xuan could give Yakumo Eirin an answer.

"As for your question, I have only one answer: absolutely no problem."

"Perhaps in your view, creating the world is a very difficult task, but for me, it is still very simple. This is the kind of thing that is easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don't."

"Since I have agreed to Yakumo Yukari's request, I am naturally confident. You don't need to worry about this."

"Since Your Majesty has said so, I naturally believe it. I hope you will forgive my previous overstepping of authority."

Since Li Xuan has personally come forward to guarantee it, Bayi Yonglin will naturally not continue to pester her. If she continues to pester her, it would be suspected of being tactless. What she originally wanted was Li Xuan's attitude to confirm the truth of this matter.

So even though Yagi Eirin still had doubts and suspicions in her heart, on the surface she already had an expression of belief, and then she shifted the topic to Yakumo Yukari.

"Then there is the most important point. Yakumo Yukari, what is the purpose of hosting this banquet?"

Whether Li Xuan can upgrade Gensokyo or not, let's not discuss it for now, and just assume that this is true. Then another major question arises, which is why Yakumo Yukari wants to continue to distribute the benefits of this new Gensokyo to everyone?

This is what others are suspicious of. Since Yakumo Yukari has already solved the most critical problem herself and does not need help from others, why did she still call these people here and give them so many benefits?

This is totally inconsistent with Yakumo Yukari's style and personality! This is where the two questions contradict each other.

Although it seems that there is no conflict between Li Xuan's upgrading of Gensokyo and Yakumo Yukari's dividing the benefits among them for no reason, it is actually a little unlikely that there is no conflict.

To put it bluntly, I just don't believe that Yakumo Yukari can be so kind as to give them so many things for free. Who would believe this if I told anyone else?

"Oh! Yagi Yonglin, a frog in a well like you, how can you understand the ambitions of a swan?"

Ever since Yakumo Yukari entered the chat group and verified its authenticity, she knew this was the greatest opportunity of her life. After that, punching the Dragon God would be no problem at all. Her future was definitely bright.

If it weren't for the fact that Gensokyo was the result of her thousand years of hard work, Yakumo Yukari could have completely ignored Gensokyo, relying on the chat group to slowly develop it, and then rebuild a better Gensokyo when she had the strength.

But she was unwilling to give up, so she chose to seek help from Li Xuan to save the current Gensokyo.

But even so, with her horizons greatly broadened, Yakumo Yukari no longer cared about these trivial matters. As for these people in Gensokyo, even if she allowed them to expand as much as they wanted, how far could they expand?

The lost profits are not worth mentioning at all, but the effects brought about are very important.

Although it can be said that this is a newly opened world where all things are competing to develop, that kind of vibrant state is still before our eyes.

But in reality, it was a life of humiliation, a wasteland. To develop it, who knows how many years it would take, and how much energy and effort would it take to put into it. Was she crazy? She would choose to do such a hard job alone.

It would be better to introduce existing forces to help her develop the world and civilization. She only needs to grasp the most important world sovereignty.

At this time, the first thing Yakumo Yukari thought of was naturally the people and forces close to her, such as her good friend Saigyouji Yuyuko and her friend Ibuki Suika.

But these two people were also useless, so the scope naturally had to be expanded again, and this time it was the turn of the people of Gensokyo. Compared to other forces that were unknown, these people who knew the inside and outside of them were more trustworthy.

To put it simply, it's not that Yakumo Yukari was kind-hearted, but when she needed some tools and workers, she chose people and forces that she was more familiar with.

"Perhaps you suspect I have other motives, but I can clearly tell you that I don't. My biggest purpose is to hold this banquet and discuss the future layout of Gensokyo."

"I'm plotting against you, but don't flatter yourself. What do you have that's worth me plotting against you? Do you, Yagi Eirin, still think I'm just the youkai sage from the past? You're really stupid. It seems I overestimated you, Yagi Kenshin."

Yakumo Yukari was a little disappointed with Yagi Eirin's stupidity and narrow-mindedness. After all, in Gensokyo, the person she regarded as her biggest rival was Yagi Eirin. But now, it was obvious that after joining the chat group, she was no longer on the same level as the other party. This was the gap in vision and capacity.

"Let me tell you! Lord Li Xuan is a great being far beyond your imagination and cognition. I was lucky to be able to invite him. The world he has opened up is not comparable to the cave heaven or small world you imagined. How big do you think Gensokyo will be in the future? A county? An island? Or the entire land of Japan?"

"I'm afraid this is the limit of your imagination!"

This is indeed the case. Not only for Yagyu Eirin, but even for those who knew about it in advance, such as Yakumo Ran, Hakurei Reimu, and Hieda Aku, this is the limit of their imagination.

After all, the so-called creation of the three realms by the main god Ame-no-Mikado in Japanese mythology was nothing more than the creation of two small worlds, Takama-ga-hara and the underworld, based on the real world, and their size was not even as large as the area of Japan.

For Li Xuan, who is not very famous in this world, in their opinion, being able to create a world of similar size to Takama-ga-hara, which is comparable to the main god of Ama-no-Mikado, is already considered very good.

As for being even wider, that was completely beyond their imagination and beyond their cognition.

"Let me tell you! What Lord Li Xuan promised me is a world on the scale of a planet. Not a satellite like the moon, but a world on the scale of a true planet."

Yakumo Yukari told them the truth expressionlessly, letting them know that they should stop being so self-indulgent, as there was nothing worth coveting or calculating about them.

"And it's a planet hundreds of times larger than Earth."

When Yakumo Yukari invited Erina Chikiri over, she also talked to her and knew the size of the gourmet world in Erina's hands. It was a world hundreds of times the size of the earth.

So her expectations for Gensokyo were similar. Li Xuan had no problem with Yakumo Yukari's cleverness. To him, the scale of Earth and Jupiter made no difference at all.

Chapter 644: Convinced People

"Yakumo Yukari, are you kidding? If so, then I admit that you succeeded in making me laugh."

To be fair, Bayi Yonglin had no doubts about Li Xuan's strength. She truly couldn't see through him, and he seemed like an ordinary human. However, this was impossible, meaning Li Xuan must be a level above her, which was why she couldn't sense any problems.

But what Yakumo Yukari said was simply deceiving her as if she were mentally retarded! As far as the existence known to Yakumo Eirin was concerned, the strongest was the Dragon God, the spokesperson of the world's will. Even if other gods were stronger than her, they were still on the same level.

However, even for a Dragon God, it is almost impossible to open up a world the size of the moon. According to Yakumo Yukari, it is hundreds of times the size of the earth. The gap between the two is almost ten thousand times.

The Earth is so small, with so few resources. How could a being of this level be cultivated, and one that was completely unknown before? This is simply a fantasy. Is Yakumo Yukari treating her and the others as fools?

"Earth has never had an existence of this level since ancient times. Although my strength cannot be said to be very strong, I do have some experience. Yakumo Yukari, what you said is completely untenable."

What Yakumo Yukari said was almost absurd, so Yagi Eirin was completely unable to understand what she was thinking.

"Haha! That's why I said that you, Yagi Eirin, are just a frog in a well. Your vision restricts your cognition."

Yakumo Yukari taunted her mercilessly once again. She knew full well that Yakumo Eirin was now the representative of the others, and her questions were everyone else's questions, so she had to give an explanation. However, explanations were explanations, and attitudes were attitudes. She had no patience for her kindness being taken for granted. She was mocking Yakumo Eirin on the surface, but in reality, it was hard to say.

"I told you, right? Lord Li Xuan is a powerful figure I invited from the outside world. And it seems that you and I have different definitions of the word 'outside world'."

"For ordinary people who have always lived in Gensokyo, the outside world is outside Gensokyo; for most monsters, the outside world is outside Japan. So, for you, Yasui Kanekami, what is considered the outside world?"

"And guess what the outside world is to me?"
