Final Preparations Before Rescuing King Deshret

Although Cyno didn't care about winning or losing and was just enjoying the game, losing several rounds in a row because his opponents were too lucky and he didn't even have a chance to fight back made Cyno feel frustrated.

My dice have all the elements, and resetting them doesn't change anything, while hers are almost all the same color. How are we supposed to play like this?

What's going on?

Bai Ye walked over to Dehya and Dehya, who were watching the scene unfold, and asked them in a low voice.

Dehya said to Bai Ye, "We ran into Great General Mahamatra Cyno while we were walking. He was looking for you, but when he saw you left, he couldn't find you, so he's playing cards with Klee here. But it seems our Great General Mahamatra's luck is a little bad."

At this point, she couldn't help but laugh.

Normally she wouldn't want to laugh, but seeing Great General Mahamatra Cyno getting a little frantic because of the Genius Invokation TCG was just too amusing.

Bai Ye couldn't help but joke, "There's nothing we can do. Apart from that Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, everyone else who compares their luck with Klee only gets humiliated like this."

The sound of several people chatting was overheard by Klee and Cyno, who were Genius Invokation TCG. They looked at Bai Ye, Klee excitedly waved to Bai Ye and Albedo.

"Brother Bai Ye, Albedo, you're back!"

"Okay, we've finished our business. Did you have fun today, Klee?" Bai Ye gently patted Klee's head and asked.

"Yes, I'm so happy! Today, Dehya and Dehya took me to so many places and we ate so many delicious things."

"That's good."

Cyno observed Bai Ye from the sidelines. Seeing his demeanor, Cyno felt that it was unlikely that Bai Ye was a criminal suspect.

He looked at Bai Ye and began to describe him in his mind. "His hands should be stained with some blood, but he has great respect for life and beauty, and is definitely not the kind of person who would commit a massacre."

Having witnessed the Bai Ye firsthand, Cyno's last remaining doubts vanished.

He never expected that someone with this appearance would do such a thing.

Bai Ye walked up to Cyno and asked, "Cyno, what brings you here?"

At the same time, we also compared our heights.

Well, if we disregard the Jackal Headdress, I win.

At least I'm taller than Xiao and Cyno, and both of them are adults, while I'm still just a fourteen-year-old boy.

Bai Ye was much happier.

Cyno didn't know why Bai Ye had become so happy. But it was fine this way, as it would make it easier for him to ask.

Glancing at Klee, Cyno said to Bai Ye, "Um, Bai Ye, could you please go aside? I have something to ask you."

It's best to keep young children away from such horrific cases.

"Good."

Bai Ye and Cyno arrived at a deserted place.

"Alright, Cyno, now you can tell me what's wrong."

"I'm currently investigating a case in Gandharva Ville. Right now, you might be the only one who knows the details. Bai Ye, can you tell me what strange things you encountered when you passed through Gandharva Ville?"

Cyno spoke directly.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Cyno's question, Bai Ye immediately looked puzzled.

Did any cases occur when I passed through Gandharva Ville?

Etc...

Bai Ye something, Cyno, "You're not thinking about that self-immolation incident, are you? Hmm, indeed, with so many people burned to ashes over there, the Tighnari and their group probably found it easily."

"Hmm!?" Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Cyno's eyes narrowed. "Bai Ye, you know about this case?"

"A case? That's not a case," Bai Ye replied to Cyno.

"Not a case?"

Cyno heard Bai Ye say this, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Because no one died," Bai Ye said to Cyno, spreading his hands. "No one was even hurt, so it's naturally not a case."

"Um?"

Cyno's eyes showed even greater doubt.

It's impossible that Tighnari, a proponent of Spantamad, wouldn't be unaware of whether the remains were from burned human tissue. Yet now, Bai Ye is claiming that there isn't a single victim in this case.

"Because these human tissues were all created by the Doctor. Dottore, the Harbinger of the Fatui of the Snezhnaya. Yes, at that time, I saw Dottore burning those human tissues."

Bai Ye said to Cyno.

"Um!?"

Upon hearing that it was the Doctor. Dottore of the Fatui, Cyno's expression turned solemn. However, when he thought of Bai Ye had said—that all those days he and Tighnari had spent studying crime scenes had turned out to be just Dottore's experiments, with no victims whatsoever—he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Cyno was both amused and exasperated.

Why didn't you tell Tighnari?

"I didn't expect that Dottore wouldn't do anything to clean up the mess afterward," Bai Ye said to Cyno. "I saw him burning it at that time, and I left immediately to avoid him finding out. Later, I guessed that Dottore might be causing trouble in Sumeru, so I've been investigating what he's up to."

The Bai Ye didn't tell Tighnari immediately was because he was cooperating with Dottore. It was also for their safety. Even if Dottore only had one remaining slice of goodness, he would still attack anyone who tried to obstruct his experiments.

Knowing how powerful Dottore was, and Harbinger Fatui Scaramouche by his side, Bai Ye knew that even if he used all his current abilities, without employing the Zhongli Summoning Technique or the Heavenly Principles Summoning Technique, he would still be no match for the two Fatui Enforcers combined.

Things will probably fall into complete chaos by then.

Now, things are almost ready, and it's the perfect time to use Cyno to break the deadlock.

Previously, Bai Ye was still pondering how to make the most perfect theft during the ritual, but now that Cyno has arrived, it's the perfect time to complete the final piece of the puzzle.

What did you find out?

Cyno asked Bai Ye a question.

"I don't know either. The Fatui are very secretive about their operations," Bai Ye said to Cyno, shrugging.

"Um."

Cyno nodded.

"During this time, I will also conduct a thorough investigation in Sumeru City, hoping to uncover their conspiracy."

After saying this, Cyno couldn't help but remind Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, you're not a professional, so you shouldn't continue the investigation. If you encounter danger, things won't go well."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Those Fatui won't dare to touch me."

Bai Ye said to Cyno.

Seeing Bai Ye's confidence, Cyno thought for a moment and said to Bai Ye, "I see. But I'll inquire about things here myself. Let me know when you have any news."

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Then I'll leave first. I'll come back to find you guys to play Genius Invokation TCG after things are settled here."

Cyno is about to leave.

"Genius Invokation TCG? You're still planning to go play with Klee?"

Upon hearing what Cyno said, Bai Ye couldn't help but look puzzled.

Haven't you been abused enough?

Cyno nodded and said, "Yes, after all, losing like this is as frustrating as drowning in the desert. I plan to continue playing the Genius Invokation TCG game with her to see how much luckier she is."

"Uh, whatever you want."

After thinking about it, Klee was also enjoying herself, and neither of them went gambling, so Bai Ye naturally wouldn't stop them.

Cyno left.

Klee watched Cyno leave and asked in confusion, "Brother Bai Ye, why did Cyno leave? I wanted to play a few more rounds of Genius Invokation TCG."

"He has something to do over there," Bai Ye said, picking up the Genius Invokation TCG Cards. "Come on, Klee, let's play together."

He wanted to know how his luck was.

"Okay, okay."

Klee clapped her hands and said...

Then, they began the Genius Invokation TCG together.

After playing a few rounds, Bai Ye's face turned pale.

As it turns out, neither the emphasis placed on Heavenly Principles Maintainer nor on the governance of time could increase Bai Ye's luck.

"From now on, let Hu Tao fight you."

Bai Ye no longer intends to fight Klee.

Let's wait for Hu Tao and Klee to fight.

That will be the real battle of European champions.

"Alright, alright." Klee had no choice but to give up after hearing what Bai Ye said.

"Brother Bai Ye, let's go eat something delicious."

"Good."

Bai Ye nodded, then invited Albedo, Dehya, and Dehya to have dinner together.

"Go back and figure out how to get a receipt, then come to the Akademiya for reimbursement."

As Bai Ye paid the money, he thought to himself.

At the same time, he looked at the restaurant owner.

"Could you possibly issue a few more? I need them for reimbursement..."

The Grand Sage's money, the more he'd swindle.

As for the Grand Sage's money, it also comes from taxes collected from the people of Sumeru, but Bai Ye will confiscate the Grand Sage in the future.

This income is definitely much more than what I get reimbursed from my own side.

In the following period, Bai Ye launched a two-pronged operation.

On one hand, he disguised himself and went with Albedo to Dottore's alchemy workshop to work with Dottore, the Grand Sage, on the development and concept integration of the 'True God Mode'.

Various divine knowledge and concepts were sublimated and poured into the 'True God Mode'. Albedo and Bai Ye also began to integrate their own substances into various parts of the mechanism to facilitate their actions later.

On the other hand, he entered the Akademiya with his legitimate identity.

He always says he wants to see the Lesser Lord Kusanali.

However, in order to play along, Lesser Lord Kusanali pretended to be unconscious.

The Grand Sage observed all of this and held some respect for Bai Ye's kind and benevolent nature.

"This guy is actually quite kind. Oh well, I'll give him some extra compensation later. Otherwise, I'll really feel bad."

The Grand Sage thought to himself.

As for giving the Lesser Lord Kusanali to Bai Ye, he wouldn't consider it.

He's not stupid.

When Bai Ye returns to Liyue with the Lesser Lord Kusanali, he can directly seek help from Inazuma God and, incidentally, gather the armies of Liyue and Inazuma to attack Sumeru together.

This was a perfectly legitimate and profitable operation; the people of Inazuma Liyue could mobilize their full strength without any prior notice.

Other countries will also support it.

The gods of every country may allow their subordinates to do evil behind their backs, but they cannot allow any of their subordinates to plan any way to rebel against them.

Meanwhile, Cyno and Alhaitham also met.

Because he had been prepared all along, and because the Grand Sage's gaze was not on him at the moment, Alhaitham was still the perfectly fine scribe. There was no need for Cyno and Alhaitham to fight upon meeting.

The two even started discussing the case.

The first thing Alhaitham said to Cyno was:

"I suspect that Dottore's activities are related to the Grand Sage."

Their fathers knew each other, so Alhaitham was also aware of Cyno's personality.

How could you say that?

Upon hearing Alhaitham's words, Cyno's eyes widened.

"I was just investigating why Bai Ye came here, so I paid more attention to him."

"Recently, Bai Ye has been frequently visiting the Akademiya and meeting with the Grand Sage. Bai Ye may know something. Based on my current records, the Grand Sage is the most likely suspect."

"Alhaitham said to Cyno."

"What evidence do you have to support your claim?"

Alhaitham continued, "Well, I just have these suspicions. For specifics, you can ask Bai Ye. However, you should be a little careful then; we don't know what he's planning. He's not simple either."

"But I have no doubt that Bai Ye is a good person."

Cyno Bai Ye Guarantee.

"Even good people have their own plans. He's a good person, but his methods aren't limited by circumstances."

"Alhaitham said to Cyno."

The two then parted ways.

Cyno found Bai Ye again and asked Bai Ye about the Grand Sage.

Bai Ye first signaled the 'Akasha Terminal' to stop. After Cyno stopped the 'Akasha Terminal', Bai Ye immediately said, "I have the ability to absorb and purify the remnants of the Gods. During this time, I absorbed the memory power of the Lesser Lord Kusanali and transferred it to the Grand Sage. He is plotting something."

What is he planning to do?

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Cyno began to ponder.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Bai Ye another question, "Bai Ye, I want to know why you helped the Grand Sage to transfer those things."

"I'm thinking of lowering the Grand Sage's guard so I can rescue the Lesser Lord Kusanali."

"So that's what you're planning."

"Alright, you continue with your plan. I'll go investigate Dottore."

Cyno left in a hurry.

A few more days passed, and Bai Ye's preparations were almost complete.

The 'True God Mode' is about to become a new deity in Sumeru.

Meanwhile, Cyno and Alhaitham also learned more information.

Bai Ye was also prepared to wait until the Grand Sage left the Akademiya to rescue the remains of the King Deshret and remove the Forbidden Knowledge from them.
