Mu Yang first opened the drawing platform that the system had sent him earlier.
Good heavens, his private messages were almost exploding.
At the top, of course, was Tuanzi, a small artist who also produced fan content.
"Master, the picture is ready, please take a look."
'Mu Yang X Lumine.JPG'
Mu Yang downloaded the picture and looked at it.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing!"
"System, I have to praise you. You found this kind of website, this kind of treasure artist."
System: "Are you praising me genuinely? Are you still holding a grudge? Although I initially wanted to use these pictures to mess with you..."
Mu Yang: "I'm genuinely praising you. Look at Lumine's figure, her lines, her incredibly alluring expression..."
System: "Stop, stop, stop! How embarrassing can you get? I'm logging off. Don't bother me if anything comes up. ╭(╯^╰)╮"
Mu Yang sent a message back to Tuanzi.
"Perfect! You can put it on the homepage now."
Mu Yang realized Tuanzi had misunderstood.
I didn't commission this picture just for myself to look at.
If you don't post it, how can I get popularity points?
Tuanzi replied almost instantly.
"Oh, oh, I thought Master commissioned it for personal viewing."
"I'll draw new pictures after I finish the Genshin Impact storyline."
"It seems everyone in the group is also captivated by Mu Yang."
Mu Yang replied with an "ok."
He told her to finish the Genshin Impact storyline first.
Next, Mu Yang began reviewing the works of other artists he had commissioned previously.
To be honest.
The website the system provided is truly amazing.
There are so many talented people here.
Although everyone's art style is different.
Mu Yang and Lumine in the drawings had incredible chemistry.
Except for that one piece by Tuanzi that was overflowing with allure.
(A piece that cannot be described in too much detail)
Mu Yang's favorite was this youthful campus style.
In the drawing, Mu Yang and Lumine were not on the continent of Teyvat.
Instead, they were in a school in the Dragon Country.
The two, wearing school uniforms, were strolling on the sports field track.
The sun was setting.
Their shadows were stretched long.
The distance between them wasn't particularly close.
But one could see the doting affection in Mu Yang's eyes for Ying.
This piece also resonated with many players.
[Nyctophobia, afraid of turning off the lights]: This is love!
[She said she was running]: Once, I also had such a pure love.
[Kuafu who chases the sun never stays up late]: Brothers above, please tell your story according to your ID.
[Afraid of heights, dare not open Wind Glider]: Mu Yang's gaze is too doting, amazing, when will I meet a boy like this ahhhhhh
[Darknight Hero]: The chemistry between these two is too strong, and the artist's grasp of the distance is also very good. I just finished the storyline today, and Mu Yang is indeed this kind of person, not too clingy, but really treats you exceptionally well.
[Can you be more normal?]: I'm f*cking shipping, shipping, shipping, shipping, shipping, shipping, shipping, shipping
After browsing the artworks.
Mu Yang opened the HoYoLAB forum.
The most popular post caught his eye.
It seems there are still some knowledgeable people.
It was worth the effort he'd put into planning and strategizing along the way.
He thought if no one else wrote about it, he'd post something himself.
He hadn't expected that someone would actually follow his line of thought.
Mu Yang clicked on the post and began to read.
[Liyue Story Analysis: Mu Yang - The Assassin Who Murdered the Geo Archon, The Boss of Liyue's Main Storyline]
Author: Truthful Immortal
I'm a beta tester and a lore enthusiast.
Today, I'm here to make some predictions about the upcoming Liyue story.
As everyone knows.
After the official public release.
The developers added the character 'Mu Yang'.
This character was not present in the beta test story.
There's recorded footage as proof. (Link to footage)
And from the existing official information.
We can also see how much the developers favor this character.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him their favorite.
After the "Footprints" PV.
They immediately released his character art.
Furthermore, he provided players with crucial information, such as details about the Abyss Order.
And Fatui Executives.
Finally, there was his powerful performance in the story.
If you say this character isn't important.
That would be absolutely impossible.
(Regarding Mu Yang following the Traveler's hidden path, I disagree. I'll discuss that in a separate post.)
(The most direct evidence is that he cannot pass through the Void.)
Such an important character.
Yet his presence in the Mondstadt story is minimal.
He only made a brief appearance at the Fatui stronghold.
His subsequent battles were also presented through flashbacks.
So, we can boldly speculate.
That the main focus for the character Mu Yang.
Will be in the Liyue storyline.
My conclusion is: He is a key player in the plan to murder the Geo Archon.
In other words, he's the one who carried out the assassination.
This conclusion is primarily based on the "Footprints" PV.
Mu Yang's character art debut corresponds to that line.
The hint is too obvious.
I'll slowly present the remaining evidence.
First, Mu Yang's profession.
Judging by his attire, his prototype is likely an ancient Chinese swordsman.
In ancient times, assassins also dressed like that.
And Mu Yang's words and actions in the story also indicate.
That he is indeed an assassin.
Taking money, solving problems for clients.
Second, Mu Yang's strength.
I believe everyone has witnessed this firsthand.
What we've seen with our own eyes includes:
Effortlessly defeating Fatui debt collectors.
Easily repelled the large group of Hilichurls.
He himself said: (unconfirmed)
Dragon Slaying.
The Eighth Harbinger, "La Signora," isn't qualified.
Summon the chief "Captain."
Judging by the combat power displayed in the story.
He probably wasn't lying.
Third, his self-introduction.
Mu Yang's self-introductions on several occasions.
He always said, "Chasm, Mu Yang."
Instead of "Liyue, Mu Yang."
If you go to another country and tell people you're from Guangdong Province.
Would they understand?
You have to say you're from Dragon Country, right?
So, Mu Yang might have a bit of friction with Liyue.
Finally, his skill effects.
It's the dragon from 'Azure Dragon Emerging from Water.'
This can explain the third point.
Liyue's Geo Archon is also dragon-shaped.
Of course, they'd have friction, right?
In conclusion.
Let me summarize.
Liyue's story is roughly this:
The Fatui planned an assassination targeting the Geo Archon.
Their objective was the Gnosis.
They hired Mu Yang at a high price to do it.
Mu Yang already intended to do it anyway.
Our protagonist happened to be at the scene.
And became the suspect.
After that, they found various methods.
To prove their innocence to Ningguang, another character from the "Footprints PV."
Proving our innocence.
Then defeat Mu Yang.
And help Liyue overcome the crisis.
Mu Yang looked at the analysis by this Truthful Immortal.
You know, you really have to say.
It's not that the analysis is entirely correct.
It could also be said to be completely off the mark.
But he couldn't blame him for that.
This was the result of Mu Yang's deliberate guidance.
He had to take on the Emperor's seat for this effect.
Let Dainsleif take the blame, that's all.
The game is currently stuck on main story level and plot progression.
(I started playing late, so I don't know if it's stuck, but let's assume people on a parallel Earth are all stuck.)
Everyone has nothing to do.
So they can only chat on the forums.
This story analysis has become a pinned hot topic.
Players, both those who agree and disagree, have come to participate.
The Truthful Immortal, in particular, made a bold claim in the comment section during a debate.
If Mu Yang isn't the assassin who attacked the Geo Archon, then I'll give everyone in the comments section constellations!
