Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

Under the bright summer sun, Sora and Paimon stepped into Liyue Harbor.

They walked along the busy street, their eyes drawn to the unique architectural style of Liyue Harbor.

The ancient Chinese buildings and exquisite carvings reveal a profound historical heritage in every place.

They exclaimed from time to time, attracting strange looks from passers-by.

Not far away, an antique tea pavilion stands quietly in a corner of the street.

In the pavilion, Lin Yide and Zhongli were sitting there, sipping tea and watching Kong and Paimon's every move from afar.

"The traveler is finally here." Lin Yide's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. "It looks like a wonderful drama is about to begin."

Zhongli gently picked up the exquisite teacup in his hand, took a sip, and then said calmly: "With the witness of the traveler, this drama will undoubtedly add more meaning."

Not long after, Sora and Paimon gradually disappeared in the bustling crowd and faded from their sight.

Lin Yide turned to look at Zhongli and said with a hint of sarcasm: "The ceremony of inviting the immortals is about to begin. You should also go to Yujingtai to pretend to be dead."

Zhongli's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard this, and he responded calmly: "I can control the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation with my mind, so there is no need to go there in person."

Lin Yide suddenly remembered something and asked, "Emperor, can the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation contain the consciousness of other gods?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, and spoke slowly: "From a universal perspective, the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation should indeed be able to accommodate the consciousness of other gods, but a strong rejection reaction soon emerged."

Hearing this answer, Lin Yide couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.

Zhongli keenly captured the change in his mood and looked at him thoughtfully, as if thinking about deeper issues.

.......

"The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals, officially known as the Seven Stars Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals, is an important annual ceremony in Liyue Harbor." Linlang, the beautiful young owner of Xigu Ju, explained to Kong in a soft voice.

"Every year, a different group of seven stars will preside over this grand ceremony. During the ceremony, the Rock King will deliver a sacred oracle to point out the direction of Liyue Harbor's operations in the new year."

Beside her, the hunched-over Lord De'an couldn't help but sigh, "Another year of the Seven Stars Summoning the Immortals... Some are happy while others are sad..."

Kong and Paimon naturally understood why Lord De'an sighed.

The fate of Liyue merchants is closely tied to the oracle of the Geolord.

Merchants who can accurately interpret and follow the Emperor's guidance will often usher in a flood of wealth and flourish their careers.

However, if one makes a wrong judgment and misses the emperor's will, at best one will work hard for a year in vain but gain nothing, at worst one may even face bankruptcy.

Afterwards, Kong asked Linlang where the ceremony would be held, and then took Paimon there.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at their destination - Yujingtai.

At this time, the central venue of Liyue Harbor was already bustling with activity, with many people gathered around to watch the ceremony of summoning the immortals.

In the center of the venue, there stood an ancient and solemn incense burner, about half a person's height.

Surrounding the incense burner, various precious offerings are neatly arranged.

As time passed, Ningguang's figure gracefully appeared in the venue.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a noble temperament, and had an aura of majesty.

Seeing this, the people consciously made way for her, their eyes full of respect and admiration.

Ningguang walked slowly to the incense burner, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, a solemn and sacred expression on her face.

She announced in a loud and clear voice: "The auspicious time has arrived. The Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony will now officially begin."

As soon as the words fell, a mysterious and solemn atmosphere filled the conference hall.

Under the control of Ningguang's thoughts, yellow rock element particles appeared out of thin air. They kept rotating around Ningguang's body, flashing dazzling light.

At this moment, Ningguang was like a legendary goddess who had descended to earth, sacred and inviolable.

Kong and Paimon were standing in the crowd. Witnessing this scene, they couldn't help but be impressed by Ningguang's elegance.

As the ceremony progressed, with a light wave of his slender fingers, the rock element particles rushed into the incense burner as if they were summoned.

A golden and holy beam of light broke through the sky, pierced the clouds, and penetrated between heaven and earth.

According to the previous rhythm, the emperor's immortal body descended in the column of light.

However, suddenly the weather changed, the sky became gloomy, and the dense dark clouds foreshadowed an ominous sign.

Ningguang stared at the sky, her heart sank, and she felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

At this moment, a huge half-dragon, half-scale creature fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the incense burner, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Ningguang remained calm, she quickly walked forward and carefully checked the status of the Immortal Ancestor's transformation.

After a careful inspection, Ningguang confirmed that the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tu had lost his vitality.

A shocking fact lay before her - the Rock King might have fallen.

At this critical moment, Ningguang made a quick decision. She decisively ordered: "The Emperor has been killed. Immediately seal off the venue. No one is allowed to leave until their identities are confirmed."

Kong didn't want to be involved in this dispute, so he turned around and left quickly with Paimon.

But their actions were noticed by the Qianyan Army, and what's worse, they were treated as suspects.

Team after team of Qianyan troops were rapidly surrounding them, and Kong and Paimon were about to be trapped.

At this critical moment, Tartaglia acted in time and led them to successfully escape from Yujingtai and hide under the protection of the Northland Bank.

In the safe house of the Northland Bank, Tartaglia honestly revealed his true identity - he was actually a member of the Fatui.

This news immediately made Kong alert and put his whole body on guard.

Sensing Kong's wary mentality, Tartaglia sighed softly and said, "It's natural for you to be wary of me. After all, we are still strangers to each other." There was a hint of loss in his words.

After hearing these words, Kong couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After all, Tartaglia had just saved them, and yet they were so wary of him.

Tartaglia continued: "Now, if you want to clear your suspicion, the only way is to find the immortals of Liyue and convey the true and undistorted information to them."

Sora nodded in agreement.

Then he turned around and left Northland Bank with Paimon.

Looking at their departing backs, Tartaglia couldn't help but curl up a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

The Seven Stars, the Traveler, and the Immortals will all be manipulated by him.
