The Episode Where Truthful Immortal Achieved Divinity

Mu Yang's side.

On the day of the Rite of Descension.

He arrived at the Jade Chamber Terrace early.

Then found a not-so-conspicuous spot.

Quietly waiting for Lumine's arrival.

He couldn't disappoint the Truthful Immortal, right?

When Lumine finally arrived at the Jade Chamber Terrace.

After finishing her wish, she prepared to squeeze through the crowd to watch the Rite of Descension.

That's when he made his move.

Which was to find an angle where Lumine could see him.

To 'accidentally' let her see his series of actions.

Because there were so many people attending the Rite of Descension.

Lumine might not be able to see from the back.

So Paimon guided Lumine through the crowd.

Preparing to get closer to watch.

"Excuse me, can we get through to the front?"

Lumine squeezed through the crowd.

Finally seeing Ningguang, who was presiding over the Rite of Descension.

And the familiar young man.

Lumine almost cried out in surprise, "Mu Yang?!"

Paimon heard her and asked, "Where?"

She looked in the direction Lumine pointed.

It was indeed Mu Yang.

The Rite of Descension was about to begin.

The two dared not make loud noises.

They could only wave, trying to get Mu Yang's attention.

However, he seemed very focused.

He didn't respond to Lumine and Paimon's greetings.

Silver Wolf's livestream.

"It's starting, it's starting, the CG is coming up."

Silver Wolf rubbed her hands together.

Finally, the anticipated plot was about to begin.

Then, she followed Lumine's gaze.

And saw the young man she had been longing for.

"Holy crap, Mu Yang?!"

"Am I seeing things? Honey, what are you doing here!"

[Could he really be here for an assassination?]

[The streamer's 'honey' slipped out from fright.]

[This is what I want to see, I want to see blood flow like a river!]

[He's not even responding when we wave at him?]

[Do you think assassinating a god doesn't require focus?]

[Truthful Immortal is amazing, he was right after all.]

[Prophet, I'm so impressed, I'm gonna stab them.]

Silver Wolf found it hard to accept.

She was also a player who valued research.

"No way, I was arguing with that Truthful Immortal."

"I really don't believe Mu Yang would do something like this."

[Wow, the streamer is still being stubborn even now.]

[Your face is going to be swollen later.]

Ningguang looked up at the sky.

She saw that the time was almost up.

She took a small step forward.

Then she announced, "The auspicious hour has arrived."

The two secretaries beside her stepped back.

Ningguang activated her elemental power, summoning the Geo Archon's Jade Chamber.

After the Jade Chamber made a ceremonial appearance in the arena.

It flew into the cauldron used for the sacrifice.

A golden light shot into the sky.

Everyone's gaze followed the light upwards.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds.

They even formed into a tornado.

Lumine felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

She retracted her gaze from the sky.

And looked around.

As expected, those dressed in Liyue attire.

Had expressions of confusion, more or less.

She subconsciously looked in Mu Yang's direction.

The young man was no longer there.

At this moment, Paimon's scream drew Lumine's attention back to the sky.

She saw that after lightning and thunder flashed across the sky.

The Rex Lapis, whom the people of Liyue spoke of, actually fell.

He crashed heavily onto the sacrificial cauldron.

Shattering the giant cauldron.

Ningguang quickly stepped forward to check.

Her expression grew increasingly grim.

Then she turned and waved her hand grandly.

"The Geo Archon has been attacked! Seal off the entire area!"

A large number of Millelith soldiers rushed into the Jade Chamber.

And surrounded everyone.

Silver Wolf's livestream.

[Does the streamer have anything else to say?]

[They even specifically gave Lumine's perspective, Mu Yang disappeared long ago]

[Incredible, Truthful Immortal]

[He actually killed the Geo Archon?! Mu Yang is amazing]

[So much plot armor, Brother Mu!]

[It's over, can he still be added to the gacha pool? I saved my Star Dust for nothing]

Silver Wolf ignored the comments.

She was thinking.

Something seemed wrong.

What exactly was wrong?

Got it!

"Everyone, I still stand by my opinion."

"Mu Yang is not the culprit at all."

"The evidence is: the Geo Archon fell after the tornado and the lightning and thunder."

She carefully recalled the scene just now.

The sky suddenly became overcast.

Then a tornado formed.

Then came purple lightning.

But Mu Yang didn't seem to be able to do these things.

"Mu Yang uses a Cryo Vision."

"That's clear information, at most it's swordsmanship."

"That sword strike earlier was also ice, right!"

[The streamer makes some sense.]

[Indeed, I haven't seen any Cryo attacks.]

[Streamer, are you stupid or am I stupid? If you're going to assassinate someone, you'd use your ultimate, are you afraid the Seven Stars won't be able to trace it?]

[Can you kill a god without using your ultimate? How weak must the Geo Archon be, please.]

[Could it be the Fatui's doing?]

[Stop arguing, the CG is over, just follow the quest.]

[Let's continue the quest, quick quick quick]

Meanwhile, Lumine.

Paimon was already panicking.

"What... what is going on?!"

"She said 'The Geo Archon has been attacked'..."

Lumine said solemnly, "It means exactly what it says."

Her expression was grim as well.

When everyone had looked up at the sky earlier.

Mu Yang had suddenly disappeared.

Where did he go?

Paimon grew more and more frightened the more she thought about it.

"The Geo Archon... is dead just like that?"

Lumine comforted the little one.

"Don't be scared, Paimon, fly up a bit higher."

"See if you can spot Mu Yang."

"Oh, okay."

Paimon obediently did as she was told.

She flew to a higher vantage point to survey the area.

Searching for that familiar white-haired figure.

Paimon searched all around and returned to Lumine's side.

She shook her head in disappointment.

"I didn't find him, what do we do..."

"If only we had a powerful acquaintance nearby, we wouldn't be so scared."

Lumine didn't think that way.

She told Paimon.

Just now, when everyone was looking up at the sky.

Mu Yang had already disappeared.

After that, the incident of the Geo Archon being attacked happened.

"I suspect Mu Yang might be involved in this."

Paimon was shocked.

"You mean Mu Yang is the culprit?!"

After saying that, Paimon realized she had spoken out of turn.

She quickly covered her mouth.

"No way! Our friend, could he really be that kind of person?!"

Lumine: "I just suspect he's involved in this."

"Besides, some things don't add up."

"For example, Mu Yang uses Cryo, but there were no traces of Cryo in the sky just now."

This made Paimon even more flustered.

She looked around.

"You mean the murderer is still among us?"

A murderer capable of assassinating gods.

Who wouldn't panic?

Lumine looked towards the exit of the Jade Chamber.

The Millelith had the participants of the Rite of Descension line up.

They were being inspected one by one.

Only after the inspection was complete.

And they were cleared of suspicion could they leave the scene.

Paimon glanced at her and Lumine's clothes.

"It seems we both look very suspicious."

Meanwhile, Lumine thought.

The god might be the enemy she encountered in the sky years ago.

If she fell into the hands of these 'god's believers'.

She might be in danger.

"Shh—Paimon, we need to sneak away from here."

Paimon agreed.

"Although we aren't the murderer."

"Your identity is special, and we don't know how the people of Liyue will view you."

"We absolutely cannot get caught!"

Lumine carefully skirted the Millelith's line of sight.

She was just about to leave.

She didn't know which damned soul had thrown a broken piece of porcelain here.

"Crack—"

[So cliché]

[It's here, the thing you trip on right before escaping]

[Comparable to tripping over your own feet and falling, or bumping into the male and female leads around a corner]

The sound attracted the attention of the Millelith.

"They're here!"

"Catch them!"

Lumine quickly ran down the stairs.

She tumbled and scrambled, trying to slip away.

But another team of Millelith had already blocked the path.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Lumine had no choice.

She drew her Dull Blade, preparing to fight her way out.

A voice came from behind her.

"Miss, be careful and don't move."

Then, several arrows struck down the Millelith's weapons.

Childe made a flashy entrance.

He summoned two water blades, preparing to deal with the disarmed Millelith.

The Millelith soldiers quickly shielded their heads with their hands.

But after a long while.

They didn't feel any attack from the opponent.

Instead, they heard the sound of swords clashing.

And a hint of cold air.

They lowered their defensive posture.

And looked closely.

A person in black with white hair stood before them.

He held the Flying Sword in a reverse grip with one hand.

Blocking Childe's two water blades!
