From Hagintos's own perspective, the relationship between Zhongli, Bai Ye, Hu Tao, and Hagintos is that Bai Ye has Hu Tao wrapped around her finger, Hu Tao has Bai Ye wrapped around her Zhongli, and as Yuye's teacher, Hagentus has Bai Ye. And Zhongli, knowing his identity, has him wrapped around her finger as well.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

However, it was not convenient for him to show himself at the moment, Hagintos could only glare fiercely at Zhongli.

"Hmph, sooner or later my good disciple will take your position as the Geo Archon."

Upon hearing Hagintos's words, Zhongli replied without hesitation, "Yes, if you need it, I can give it to you right now."

Hagintos could tell that Zhongli was sincere and without any pretense.

Well, now it's her turn and she can't use the interface.

Sincerity is always the most powerful and effective weapon.

Hagintos looked around and then at the Genshin Eye the Bai Ye God, immediately trying to save face.

"Forget it, forget it. It's a bit much to let a Wind-attribute Genshin Eye be the Geo Archon."

While watching the show, Bai Ye was stunned.

What, is there something going on here involving using one's own body?

Before he could say anything, Hagintos swiftly entered Bai Ye's body.

Bai Ye looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli maintained her sincere yet playful smile.

Bai Ye chose to evacuate.

He went to find Hu Tao.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhongli still reminded him:

"If you want to know the truth about your teacher, you need to let your teacher repair their own soul. Only strong emotions can find the memories that Erosion away."

Yiye paused for a moment, then nodded seriously.

At this moment, Hu Tao was sitting alone on a large rock, hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Klee was studying the little gadgets that Albedo created.

What's wrong with you?

Seeing Hu Tao's listless expression, Bai Ye asked her a question.

At the same time, he also took out Handheld Crossbow, as if he intended to attack anyone who dared to provoke Hu Tao Taoqi.

"Well, I was just trying to persuade Klee to put out Bouncy Bomb at the funeral to liven things up. Or if that doesn't work, I could say I can use the Bouncy Bomb recipe, and you can make some launching devices so we can launch them at the funeral." As soon as Klee agreed, the alchemist immediately took out some gadgets to attract her Klee.

Bringing out Bouncy Bomb at a funeral isn't about enlivening the atmosphere; it's practically inviting trouble to the underworld!

Also, if I were to create Bouncy Bomb launcher, it wouldn't be used for a funeral, but rather for someone else's funeral.

Hearing what Hu Tao said, Bai Ye couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

However, to be fair, this kind of device is actually worth considering. Bai Ye were to build the Guili Plains in the future, explosives would be absolutely necessary. And in terms of explosives, besides Alice, no one can guarantee they can surpass Klee.

Bai Ye was thinking, Hu Tao, seeing that he was ignoring her, angrily put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and kept blowing air into Bai Ye's ear.

It was only then that Bai Ye realized what was happening.

He quickly said to Hu Tao, "I said, if we want to liven things up, how about we go to Inazuma sometime? I know there's a girl there named Yoomiya who's a master at making smoke Yoimiya. I'll ask her to make the perfect smoke ring for you."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing what Bai Ye said, Hu Tao's attention was immediately diverted.

"Yeah." Bai Ye immediately diverted Hu Tao's attention.

Watching her become engrossed in the mechanism that Bai Ye took out, Bai Ye glanced at Klee Albedo, who was also using a small toy to coax her, and the two smiled at each other.

Hu Tao has wildly imaginative ideas and is incredibly daring. If you add Klee's destructive power to the mix, the two of them together would definitely be a complete disaster.

After a while, Keqing and the others began laying mortar and building the foundation, rendering Bai Ye and the others completely useless. Zhongli came over and asked the group:

What should we do next?

"Um..."

Bai Ye, Ye said to Zhongli, "I have to go somewhere else. You guys go ahead."

There's still one Archon Residue I haven't retrieved yet. I need to get that last Archon Residue before I can start working on the next mechanism.

"Where are you going? I'll go with you and help you."

Upon hearing that Bai Ye was going to do something, Hu Tao immediately decided to go with him.

Bai Ye thinking it over, I realized that I was just going to collect the Archon Residue, and there would be no danger.

"Hmm... okay, but remember to listen to me later."

"Mmm..."

Hu Tao nodded repeatedly.

Bai Ye looked at Albedo: "Albedo, do you want to go to Liyue with Zhongli first?"

"Yes." Albedo nodded.

"I still have some documents from Acting Grand Master Jean that I need to give to Miss Ningguang. I'm heading to Liyue Harbor to deliver them to Ningguang."

The group finished their discussion.

Bai Ye and Hu Tao went together to collect the Archon Residue, while Albedo and Klee returned to Liyue Harbor with Zhongli.

Zhongli left in the Spirit Vehicle, taking Albedo and Klee with him.

Bai Ye and Hu Tao walked further north together.

Hu Tao skipped and hopped ahead.

She never had a proper manner.

With one toe on the ground, Hu Tao turned her head like a compass and said to Bai Ye, "It's been a long time since we two went on an adventure together."

"Mmm." Although the time hadn't actually been long when you calculated it, Yoru would never say Bai Ye and spoil the mood.

Where are we going to go on this adventure?

Bai Ye said to Hu Tao:

"Do you remember the first time Ganyu and I went out together? It was the time I met you at Wangshu Inn."

"Oh, that time?" Hu Tao exclaimed, suddenly realizing what she meant.

"Is it that Demon Gods who can strip away the Seven Senses? You're not trying to obtain His powers, are you?"

"Yes, it's that Gods," Bai Ye nodded.

"This time I will take His power back into my own hands."

"That's so interesting!" Hu Tao was even more excited when she heard Bai Ye say that.

"I must come and see for myself what it's like to have my Seven Senses taken away."

"That feeling was definitely not a pleasant experience." Recalling the situation she had encountered that time, Bai Ye shook her head with lingering fear.

To lose all Seven Senses is an unbearable experience.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the ruins of the Gods Shakoth from their previous encounter.

"This is the ruins we're going to..."

Bai Ye walked to the entrance of the ruins, he spoke to Hu Tao.

Last time, he and Xiao left from here and performed a seal here.

This time, the seal was still completely intact.

Bai Ye broke the seal and went inside with Hu Tao.

Because it had been sealed, the monsters inside had been completely eliminated.

Hu Tao jogged forward, but after a few steps she quickly turned back.

"The smell in this place is really unpleasant."

She said to Bai Ye with a pained expression.

Then, Hu Tao took several deep breaths next to Bai Ye.

It's still best to be by Bai Ye's side; Bai Ye's scent is so pleasant. Even in this murky Gods ruins, I can feel an unparalleled clarity.

The two arrived in front of the Archon Residue.

Shakoth's body still lies there.

"Well..."

Upon seeing the corpse, Hu Tao sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Hu Tao sigh, Bai Ye asked her a question.

"Such a large corpse, sending it off for burial is no easy task," Hu Tao honestly told Bai Ye.

"This guy has no relatives, so no one will give you Mora if you go to his funeral."

"Do you think I'm like you, unable to resist the sight of Mora?" Hu Tao looked at Bi Bai Ye with dissatisfaction. "I just want Him to pass away peacefully."

"Um."

Bai Ye expressed his approval of Hu Tao's actions.

Although the Gods are constantly fighting each other, Gods are all lovers. Moreover, those who manage to occupy a territory are all renowned figures.

It is indeed fitting that there should be a final, dignified ending.

Of course, it is without affecting other people.

"Hu Tao, you may need to think about a ritual next."

"What ceremony?"

Hu Tao asked, puzzled.

"A farewell ceremony for the Gods. In the future, I will need to obtain the power of the Gods. Similarly, I will need to see the remains of the Gods. At that time, the funeral arrangements will have to be done by you."

"Uh-huh."

Hu Tao felt a great responsibility on her shoulders and began to think about how to perform the most appropriate ceremony.

Even if all that could be seen were herself and Bai Ye, Hu Tao absolutely did not want to be perfunctory.

Bai Ye walked up to Shakoth and began absorbing the remnants of the Gods on its body.

First, he would mend his teacher's soul, and at the same time, he would be able to clearly find the location of the Gods's power.

The remnants of the Gods began to circulate within her body, Bai Ye used Zhongli's magic to gradually strengthen herself. Most importantly, she wanted her teacher to mend the integrity of her soul. While doing so, Bai Ye didn't forget to draw upon her own physical life force to replenish her losses.

As he absorbed the residue, scenes appeared before his Bai Ye.

The Gods Shakoth longed to love humanity, believing that giving them everything was the best thing he could do. Beside his tribe lay a forest, which he would strip of the animals' Seven Senses, allowing them to be freely hunted. The humans around him could easily obtain abundant food without any labor.

They became lazy, their eyes seeing only the food they could easily obtain, their ears hearing only the sounds of those around them chewing, and their mouths only tasting the delicious food bestowed upon them by the Gods ...

Although the people of Shakoth did not lose their Seven Senses, they were practically the same as those who had lost them.

Ultimately, Shakoth's tribe met its demise.

He too died at the hands of Morax.

Previously, Bai Ye could only see bits and pieces of the Gods's memories when absorbing the remnants, but now, by absorbing herself, she can gain even more memories.

"Phew~"

After seeing all the memories, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

After he let out a long breath, Hagintos's voice rang in Bai Ye's ears.

"Bai Ye, did you see more of Shakoth's memories?"

"Yes, that's right."

Bai Ye had told his teacher about the glimpse of the Gods he had seen before.

"When I was repairing my soul, I also felt myself being infected by that emotion. Although I can't see the Gods's emotions with you, I can understand that feeling."

Hagintos said to Bai Ye.

"Yeah?"

Hearing his teacher say that, Bai Ye instantly perked up.

The situation with the Gods is over; one's teacher is the most important person now.

He couldn't help but recall what Zhongli had told him back then: that only an emotional outburst could mend the Erosion- out memories.

If you want something really exciting, Bai Ye can't do it.

After all, I'm the only one the teacher trusts right now, so I can't possibly try to hurt myself to provoke the teacher, can I?

But now, Bai Ye realizes that he can take a shortcut.

While absorbing the Archon Residue, it seems that one also absorbs the Gods's emotions. And these emotions can be used to casually stimulate one's teacher.

Bai Ye realized that he had made the most of the Archon Residue.

The Archon Residue were used to repair the teacher's soul, and the Gods's emotions were used to stimulate the teacher's emotions. In this process, the teacher was also tempering his body and improving his physical fitness.

After consuming all these Archon Residue, Bai Ye can then seek out His power.

By the way, power,

Speaking of powers, Bai Ye quickly looked at the remnants of the beast.

At this moment, on the scum, one of His claws is emitting a different aura.

Bai Ye stepped forward and picked up the paw.

The power of the Gods Shakoth —the deprivation of the Seven Senses.

Get!

After obtaining these powers, the Archon Residue were absorbed and digested, and what remained was all turned into ashes.

"Shakoth, rest assured, I will use your authority to better protect the people."

Bai Ye recalled Shakoth's memories, she slowly murmured to herself.

"Bai Ye, what's wrong?"

While still contemplating the ritual, Hu Tao noticed that Bai Ye was deep in thought and came over to ask him what was wrong.

His eyes were full of concern.

"I just regained some memories..."

Bai Ye recounted to Hu Tao what had just happened, about obtaining Shakoth's memories.

After hearing what Bai Ye said, Hu Tao silently bowed to the remaining ashes of Shakoth.

After doing all that, Hu Tao immediately grabbed Bai Ye's hand and ran outside.

"Um?"

Bai Ye expressed his confusion about Hu Tao's actions.

Hu Tao turned around and smiled at Bai Ye, saying, "My Guest Official, you can't be so repressed!"

"Let's go! Run faster, as long as we're fast enough, troubles and such won't catch up with us."

Hu Tao pulled Bai Ye and ran quickly.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Bai Ye Hu Tao pulled him along, he kept calling out "Yu".

The speed is too slow!

"Hmph!"

Hu Tao smiled smugly and continued to speed up.

At last...

"Run? Why aren't you running anymore?"

Outside the Gods Ruins, Bai Ye looked at Hu Tao was lying exhausted on the ground, and said smugly.

Although I can't match your speed, I have so much vitality in my body.

Compared to durability,

Who can compare to me?
