Rex Lapis, "Are You Here on Behalf of the Heavens to Reclaim the Geo Gnosis?"

"What is this place?"

Sea God Tang San was entering the world of Teyvat for the first time.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he felt weightless beneath his feet and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, as the Sea God—and someone who had once fought Angel God Qian Renxue ten thousand meters in the air—such a low altitude was nothing to him.

At once.

He steadied himself, frowning as he looked around.

Everything was silent and gray in every direction. There was nothing there, and the place seemed somewhat gloomy.

This scene immediately reminded Sea God Tang San of Ghost's Sorrow from long ago—

"Crash!"

Suddenly!

A faint sound of stones quietly scattering rang out.

Though the sound was slight, Sea God Tang San's expression instantly tightened, and he spread out his divine sense.

"What is that!?"

Under the sweep of his powerful divine sense, Sea God Tang San immediately discovered an enormous lizard-like monster in the shape of a dragon.

Moreover!

Since it was divine sense, he could clearly detect that four different elemental attributes echoed within the dragon-lizard creature—

Of course!

Those four elemental attributes were very weak. The creature was mainly aligned with the power of earth.

But—

"Why is this monster injured?"

At this moment, in the Far North of Douluo Continent.

Seeing this scene, the Ice Bear King, Xiao Bai, scratched his head. "That's the monster. The surroundings were sealed off, and I couldn't get out. It wouldn't let me leave either, so I fought it—"

"No matter what kind of monster you are, if you dare block my path, you have chosen death!"

Sea God Tang San snorted coldly as the Sea God's Trident appeared in his hand. "Take this strike from me!"

Elsewhere.

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong entered the Teleportation Gate and felt the sensation of weightlessness fade, much like when she had once entered the Rakshasa Secret Realm.

However, it lasted less than two and a half seconds before she felt her feet touch something solid.

But.

The soaking-wet sensation made her frown. "Water?"

She looked down and saw an enormous platform flooded with water. Even her knee-high rain boots were submerged up to her ankles.

"What is this place?"

Previously, she had not paid much attention to the scenes in the Far North. Instead, she had focused on the Spirit Hall Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all.

Each faction had three scenes, and there were five factions with five members each, making fifteen scenes in total.

Even her ability to divide her mind into nine tasks had reached its limit. There was no way she could clearly keep track of all fifteen scenes.

"Are you an assassin from your homeland, or someone attempting to disturb Qingce Water—"

Just as Rakshasa God Bibi Dong was deep in thought, a crisp and ethereal voice suddenly sounded from above.

Bibi Dong abruptly looked up.

A fantastical spirit of pure blue hovered in the air.

Its entire body was a clear, lustrous icy-water blue, surrounded by a cold, ghostly glow.

A small pointed crown adorned its head. Its face had no complicated features, only a bright, round dot of cold white light at its center. Around its neck spread layered white petal-like ornaments.

Its torso was slender, and two pairs of broad, thin, translucent fins like wings extended from its sides. Faint curved ripples patterned the fins, while its tail was a flowing, lively split fishtail.

It floated lightly in the air. Against the dim, mist-shrouded mountain forest and cliffside backdrop, it exuded a cold, drifting air, filled with the mysterious and ethereal charm of a water spirit.

"Envious of living forms, Pure Water can take on all forms of forest and field."

"I shall punish you with this 'water'!"

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "Playing tricks!"

"I'll kill you first and use your blood to consecrate the banner of my Spirit Hall Empire!"

Compared to Sea God Tang San and Rakshasa God Bibi Dong.

Beast God Di Tian had landed in a somewhat better place.

"A plant filled with scorching flames, yet lacking much intelligence?"

Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, looking curiously at the Regisvine before him as it began to attack wildly.

The Regisvine's attacks flew toward Di Tian, yet just before striking him, they vanished strangely as if he had shifted positions.

"What a pity—"

Di Tian shook his head and chuckled. "Perfect. I'll use you to test this—"

Compared to the first three.

The place where Chen Fan appeared was—far more peaceful.

But.

It also made every hair on Chen Fan's body stand on end!

"Last time, we spoke of Liyue in those days—"

"Great demons ravaged the sea, while evil dragons coiled among the mountains. Rex Lapis—"

Chen Fan sat uneasily at a tea table in the corner.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a man dressed in something resembling a suit with a tailcoat approach and sit beside him.

In that instant.

Chen Fan was no longer moved!

Where the hell had this Teleportation Gate sent him?

Was this still his country?

"There seems to be a familiar aura on you."

The man did not look at Chen Fan. He leisurely sipped his tea, seemingly still listening to the speaker onstage, but his soft chuckle made Chen Fan freeze. "Why do you have a Gnosis on you?"

Chen Fan's entire body stiffened.

"And—"

After a pause, the man set down his teacup and looked at Chen Fan curiously. "If I did not see wrongly just now—was it spatial power that brought you here?"

"Did you come on behalf of the heavens?"

That night, after sensing the aura of a Gnosis atop the Jade Chamber.

The man thought for a long time and prepared to meet this Gnosis bearer.

To him, someone inexplicably carrying a Gnosis was, like Alice back then, a ticking time bomb that needed watching.

He had not expected it.

This person had vanished for no apparent reason.

The other foreigners he had been tracking had disappeared as well.

Though he did not understand why, he was happy to enjoy the peace and passed half a month that way.

But he had not expected that, on such a pleasant afternoon, while simply having tea, he would sense a—long-lost spatial power?

It made him fall into thought.

"War God Morax, a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Fan paused slightly, neither confirming nor denying it. He rose and gave a slight bow in respect. "Foreigner Chen Fan greets Rex Lapis."

If the Liyue main storyline had already ended and you called him Zhongli, he might pick at your wording.

But now.

He had merely discarded a heavily eroded divine body. Calling him Zhongli instead of Rex Lapis would mean you did not know your place.

"A discarded divine body, burdened with erosion besides—it hardly deserves the title of War God—"

Rex Lapis smiled faintly before asking, "Are you here on behalf of the heavens to reclaim the Geo Gnosis?"

The question seemed quite reasonable. The Gnosis originated from the heavens, and now there was spatial power as an excuse. Completing the task and obtaining the Gnosis seemed—within easy reach?

Back on Douluo Continent, countless people stared wide-eyed. "No way? This—this easily completes the mission?"

"Teleportation Gate, I'm reporting this guy for cheating!"

"Unfair! Why him!?"
