An adult weighed at least a hundred jin, and Liyue had over a thousand people!
There was no way Ganyu could carry everyone away in one trip. She could only take them in batches.
So the first group consisted entirely of children. They were lighter, allowing more to fit on her back, and children were also the most precious.
Seeing someone do this, the people of Liyue suddenly understood. They all lifted their own children onto her back, then jumped down themselves.
"Don't be afraid, little one. The Adepti and Rex Lapis are protecting us."
"Be good. Don't cry or make a fuss. Go with the Adeptus. Mommy and Daddy will be right behind you."
"Make sure you listen to the Adepti, okay? Don't cause them any trouble."
The parents of Liyue gave their children these reminders.
Soon, Ganyu's back was full of children. Some were well-behaved and neither cried nor fussed, while others thought it was fun and were perfectly happy. Of course, some were frightened, crying and making a fuss.
"Hold on tight. We're setting off," Ganyu reminded them as she slowly stood up.
"They're trying to escape! Stop them!!"
Seeing Ganyu's back packed with children, the Demon God immediately shouted.
"Use this mountain to stop them!" The Cyclops Troll stomped hard against the ground and launched himself toward Mt. Tianheng.
BOOM!!!!!
With a thunderous crash, the deep crater Skybracer had just smashed open sank even deeper. All of Mt. Tianheng shook violently, teetering as though it would collapse at any moment.
The Adepti were horrified by the sight, instantly falling into a panic, unsure what to do.
If Mt. Tianheng collapsed, it would all be over!
And Ganyu was carrying hundreds of children on her back. They were Liyue's hope!
BOOM!!!!!!
Mt. Tianheng shook violently once more.
