Asuna saw Li Yu come down and immediately went to greet him. However, after taking only a few steps, some information appeared in her mind. Not only her, but everyone in the Special Class present had the same information appear in their minds.

Pandora immediately revealed their identities: they were survivors of the Xianzhou who had been separated from Li Yu. Although this surprised them somewhat, they quickly calmed down.

Pandora must have her reasons for making these arrangements, so everyone should just trust her. Everyone in the class is familiar with Pandora, and quite well at that; she is the world's World Will.

"Li Yu!" Asuna called out excitedly as she stepped forward, and the others did the same, greeting Li Yu one after another. This scene left Ningguang and the others looking at each other in surprise.

The arrival of Li Yu and his group is even more shocking than the reappearance of the Emperor! I'm sure it won't be long before news of this spreads throughout Teyvat.

After getting off the train, Himeko and the others looked around with curiosity. March 7th couldn't help but lean closer to Li Yu and ask, "Are these all your companions?"

Hearing March 7th's words, Li Yu nodded, and then introduced them, "These are all Xianzhou people, my companions."

Asuna looked at March 7th and immediately greeted him, "Hello, my name is Asuna Yuuki you. I'm from Cangcheng, just like Li Yu."

"Ah... hello hello, I'm March 7th!" March 7th was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded and enthusiastically introduced the people on the Astral Express to everyone.

After everyone had gotten to know each other, Asuna realized that this was someone else's territory: she hurriedly pulled Li Yu and Ningguang to greet them.

"Li Yu, these are Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, and this is Ying and Paimon. These are all friends we met in this world." Asuna Li Yu along and introduced them to everyone one by one.

Ningguang looked at Li Yu, her thoughts unreadable, but she still greeted Li Yu with a gentle smile.

These people came from outside, and it's unclear whether they're good or bad for Teyvat. They even appeared out of the sky, and their vehicles do resemble those from the Snezhnaya.

However, Ningguang knew very well that these people were probably not related to the people of their world; at most, they might resemble them somewhat. After everyone had gotten to know each other, Ningguang invited, "Gentlemen, why don't you come inside and rest for a while?"

She felt she needed to find out where these people came from. Since this had happened in Liyue, she had to find out the truth no matter what. With that thought, Ningguang glanced at the Emperor, who had remained silent.

They all knew about the Emperor's faked death, and they had even taken the opportunity to eliminate the Fatui. Now, the arrival of the Astral Express has exposed the Emperor. They just hoped that the Emperor wouldn't be angry.

Li Yu and the others did not refuse Ningguang's invitation. Led by Ningguang, the group entered the Jade Chamber. After they left, the immortals gathered around Zhongli to follow Zhongli instructions.

"Let's go in first, they probably mean no harm." Zhongli understood what the immortals meant, and after saying this casually, he followed them inside.

Ningguang led everyone to the place she usually held meetings. Jade Chamber is not just as small as it is in the game; it is a complete palace. Although there were quite a few people, they could easily fit in Jade Chamber.

Upon entering the Jade Chamber, Xing looked around for a while before her expression turned disappointed. Seeing this, March 7th asked in confusion, "Xing, what's wrong?"

Seeing the other person's expression, March 7th was somewhat puzzled. What was this reaction? What did this sudden look of regret mean?

"What a pity... there aren't any trash cans!" This is such a shame. It's really disappointing that there isn't a single trash can here. For Xing, a place without trash cans is no good place.

Upon hearing Xing's words, March 7th was immediately speechless. She shouldn't have asked; wasn't it normal that there were no trash cans? This place was so luxurious. Thinking of this, March 7th looked around and then exclaimed in surprise, "This place looks just like the Xianzhou!"

The decorations here gave Ningguang the feeling of being on a Xianzhou. Could this place also be related to Xianzhou in some way?

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a similar civilization, just like the similar countries in my world." Welt Yang pushed up his glasses, not particularly surprised.

Thinking of his world's Shenzhou, isn't it quite similar to Xianzhou? So it's not too surprising that Liyue resembles Xianzhou.

Upon hearing this, March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Uncle Yang, you have one at home too? I've never heard you mention it before! Uncle Yang, you must tell me about it!"

The group was talking quite loudly, so everyone heard them. Ningguang and the other Liyue people were shocked. A country so similar to their Liyue? This was truly incredible news.

However, she didn't interrupt. Instead, she led everyone to a huge conference room and invited them to sit down, as she wanted to have a proper talk with them.

Before long, the immortals also entered. Zhongli immediately reverted to his original appearance. He was too lazy to pretend anymore, after all, it would be too impolite to wear divine armor in front of these extraterrestrial visitors.

So when the Liyue leaders saw Zhongli entering with the immortals, they suddenly realized what was going on. In an instant, they understood everything: the Emperor was right beside them all.

Furthermore, the immortals, including Cloud Retainer, also transformed into human form, since it would be impolite to communicate with humans in their immortal bodies.

After everyone was seated, Ningguang's secretary brought tea, and then Ningguang began to talk to everyone. She was quite curious about the purpose of their visit!

While Li Yu and the others were talking with Ningguang others, the news of the Astral Express spread throughout Teyvat in an instant. This kind of thing couldn't be kept secret, after all, the commotion when the Astral Express arrived was just too great.

The various factions that received the intelligence were all puzzled. What had happened? Mondstadt, which was closest to Liyue, seemed quite calm. Venti, sitting in the Windrise, looked up at the sky and couldn't help but marvel.

After all, with such a commotion, how could those people not react at all? This was really unusual. Were they someone we couldn't afford to offend? Or had they decided to let things develop on their own? Venti was quite curious in any case.

Jade Chamber, Li Yu and the others had already explained their purpose, but the Liyue people were still confused. However, they all felt that their eyes had been opened.

So there are worlds beyond worlds, and these people can freely travel within the universe and even traverse between worlds. Zhongli couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly eye-opening!"

Compared to them, Teyvat was practically a backwater. If Asuna and the others hadn't accidentally wandered into this world, this group might never have arrived. Every sip and every bite is a matter of fate.

Zhongli looked at Li Yu and then asked, "What is your opinion of Teyvat? Will your arrival attract the attention of some people on your side?"

More than these things, he was concerned about this issue. Zhongli believed that Li Yu and the others might be good people, but their world might not be entirely composed of good people. That world was so vast and technologically advanced.

In the eyes of some with ill intentions, Teyvat is a resource, a piece of fat meat. Now that the passage between these two sides is completely open, everyone will face a problem.

That means we could be plunged into a state of war, and a war in which we have no chance of resistance. Perhaps some high-level combatants wouldn't be too much of a problem, but what about the lower-level soldiers?

Zhongli had to consider these issues. At this point, Zhongli was already itching to curse. Couldn't a person just retire in peace?

He had only been retired for a few days when this happened.

"Don't worry, the moment we stepped into the Sea of Quanta, the outside was sealed off. Anyone else who wants to find this place can't get in, and even if they do, they'll need to find us inside the Sea of Quanta." Li Yu knew what Zhongli was worried about, but it wasn't a big problem.

Hearing Li Yu say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes, but he also felt much more relaxed. Couldn't they find it? Even so, they would find it someday.

Thinking about this, Zhongli felt a sense of urgency, but Li Yu's next words stunned him.

"The problems you're worried about shouldn't happen. Moreover, I sense that the will of your world is already reviving. It will definitely help you when the time comes, and this will should encompass many worlds!" Li Yu began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

He was naturally referring to Pandora. When Pandora has completely corrupted this place, the company's people will arrive, and Pandora will probably hang them up to use as streetlights.

"Are you talking about Phanes?" Zhongli with some suspicion. The World Will? That must refer to the natural order of their world, right?

Welt Yang, on the other hand, was somewhat suspicious. "What will? Could it be the Will of Honkai?" He was listening to Li Yu's words with some tension, after all, what the other party had just said contained a lot of information.

"It's not that half-dead being from your world, but a much stronger will. Let me put it this way: if you consider your world as a small world within a larger world, there are many such worlds." After saying this, Li Yu paused.

Then he continued, "If we use Liyue as an analogy, your world is like a village, and that Phanes is like the village chief, while the other is like the creator of your country!"

After hearing Li Yu's explanation, everyone understood. As cultivators, how could they not understand what it meant? To put it in a more fantastical way, Phanes is the Heavenly Dao, while what is to be awakened is the Great Dao.

"Would it even care about these things?" Sui asked, but Zhongli was still quite worried. Would such a being really care about the life and death of their world? At this moment, Zhongli began to ponder whether she should lead the Liyue people away!
