Vol. 9Paths Across Worlds
Chen Li drew new Paths into New Penacony, pursued plans across Fontaine and Mondstadt, and joined a simulation that transformed Great Herta into Emperor the Third. He and Screwllum began dismantling The Erudition to prevent that future and sought Aqua’s help with the next synthesis.
- Chen Li helped Robin’s concert spread Harmony through New Penacony and guided March 7th and Changye Yue through a competition before Phantylia revealed Nanook’s order to destroy Screwllum Star.
- Changye Yue grew close to Chen Li as he promoted New Penacony, while Phantylia prepared to use Iron Tomb data against Screwllum Star.
- Chen Li helped Changye Yue claim the Miracle Card and forged artifacts as he connected the Path of Finality to New Penacony and reconsidered forcing everyone into Paradise.
- Chen Li brought Zhongli to Fontaine, where he dealt with Rhinedottir’s crisis and offered the city’s criminals the chance to challenge him as a Duel Proxy.
- Chen Li spared Rhinedottir and assigned her to design an ecosystem for Teyvat, then helped Zhongli take control of Mondstadt and rescued Albedo and Eula from Dragonspine’s destruction.
- Chen Li gave Tartaglia a shield in exchange for his bond with Scylla, who immediately used both protections against him.
- Chen Li and the Trailblazer organized Stellar Journey, and Great Herta became Emperor the Third after merging with the Iron Tomb in the simulation.
- Chen Li and Screwllum decided to dismantle The Erudition to prevent Emperor the Third from emerging, then sought Aqua’s wisdom for their next synthesis.
