Fang Yun was speechless after hearing what she said: "So this is what's bothering you? Have you been using contracts to maintain your [self]?"
Gan Yu nodded with a dejected look on her face, but suddenly her eyes lit up: "Speaking of which, Your Highness Fang Yun, how did you integrate into Liyue so quickly?"
Previously, Fang Yun walked around Liyue holding the Rock Knot Green and taught the Seven Stars a lesson, allowing the Liyue humans and immortals to reconcile. Later, she followed her master to visit Fang Yun to seek his advice. Along the way, Ganyu subconsciously regarded Fang Yun as the successor chosen by the Emperor, a genuine Liyue person.
But then she remembered that Fang Yun was Daoqi's man!
Ganyu herself was struggling with the question of "am I a human or an immortal?", but in the final analysis she was still a citizen of Liyue. However, Fang Yun, a foreigner, had seamlessly integrated into Liyue. Even she, who was so careful, had only just discovered the problem. The difficulty was completely different.
If she could learn the skills from Fang Yun, she wouldn't have to worry about these things in the future.
however.
Facing Gan Yu's excited eyes, Fang Yun found it hard to understand: "What's troubling you is how to choose between the human and immortal identities?"
Isn't this the confusion that Ultra Warriors are most likely to encounter?
From Fang Yun's perspective, he really didn't know how to share experience with Ganyu. All the way up to now, Fang Yun's most confused time was when he rode Cole all over the street and couldn't find Wuliutuo.
So, he should say: The way to save Liyue is to let Ganyu become... No, that's wrong.
Fang Yun suddenly realized, and he added softly: "Just like everyone has different faces, some are laughing, some are angry, and some are calm and indifferent, you can also have two identities. You are both a fairy and a human, why do you have to separate them so clearly?"
Seeing Ganyu's bewilderment, he explained, "What I mean is that you can change your identity according to the situation. You are an immortal in Jueyunjian and a human in Liyue Harbor. Isn't that enough?"
"Ah?" Ganyu was frightened.
Is this possible? Isn't this equipment talent too advanced?
But on second thought, she seemed to be stuck in a rut. As a demigod, she was different from other people. She was too obsessed with her identity, which made it difficult for her to fit in with both sides.
"And Ganyu, you have already been integrated into Liyue Harbor, but you yourself have not realized it. Not to mention the Seven Stars, the people of Liyue also know that there is a half-immortal who has been guarding Liyue Harbor for two thousand years. Yuehai Pavilion and Liyue cannot do without you."
"Ah...really?"
Ganyu was a little bit unbelievable, she never felt that she was important in Liyue.
"So you have to change your mindset. I heard there is a half-immortal in Liyue. Isn't she living a very comfortable life?"
"You mean Yan Fei? Her law firm is very famous in Teyvat, and the people of Liyue trust her very much." Ganyu's eyes were filled with envy, but she shook her head after remembering something: "Yan Fei is good in everything, but she is very lazy in her cultivation. She was once captured by the Abyss Cult in Jingfu Port. It was thanks to the Wave Knight in Mondstadt who lent a helping hand."
As a veteran with considerable military achievements during the Demon War, Ganyu is still very concerned about her cultivation. In her opinion, the fact that Yan Fei was captured by the Hillichurls is a disgrace to the immortals.
But then again, Yan Fei was able to make a good friend like Youla because of this. I heard that Youla and Yan Fei even gave each other tokens of love.

"Anyway, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness Fang Yun. I roughly understand what to do now." Ganyu took a deep breath. She suddenly felt that she should also usher in a new chapter like Liyue. "In fact, I want to learn from you for a while, but Liyue has a lot of work to do right now, so it seems that there is no such opportunity."
"That's not necessarily true. I may come to Liyue again in the future." Fang Yun smiled, then took Ganyu to find Zhongli.
Although Zhongli had concealed his aura in order to avoid being discovered by the immortals, Fang Yun possessed the divinity of Ming Shen. Since they were both in Liyue Harbor at the same time, it was not difficult for him to sense the divinity of the top demon god.
But when he arrived, Fang Yun found that Zhongli's situation was not good.
Inside the Rebirth Hall.
Hu Tao, wearing a black robe, lazily lay on the table. When she looked up and saw that it was Ganyu, she quickly turned around and called out to Zhongli behind her: "Zhongli, the distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you go and greet him?"
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 27 Apostle of the Abyss: Your Highness, Your Sister is Being Kept by Someone
Hu Tao was not ordering Zhongli around, but because Ningguang, Keqing and the others regarded Zhongli as a low-profile version of the Emperor, they often came to Zhongli to consult about government affairs these days. When she saw Ganyu, she thought that someone from the Seven Stars had come again, so she urged Zhongli to go and welcome the guest.
"This is for your own good, Zhongli." Hu Tao patted his chest, but he couldn't control the strength and felt a little pain, so he quickly withdrew his hand.
“Liyue is definitely going to choose a new Geo God. If you can be chosen, our Wangsheng Hall will be very powerful!” She looked at Zhongli, who still had a calm expression, and persuaded him earnestly, “Zhongli, you have to be more motivated!”
Although Hu Tao admired Zhongli's knowledge, this guy Zhongli was too lazy. A young man who spent all day shopping and walking his bird, living like a retired old man. He was not even concerned about the position of the God of Geo.
The new water god Fucaros in Fontaine next door is said to have the power to judge foreign gods after inheriting the throne. Doesn't Zhongli want to make progress at all?
"Really? If someone didn't know you, they would think you were the emperor." Hu Tao pouted and complained.
Zhongli's expression changed slightly, and he heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that Hu Tao was just speaking casually.
What he is least good at is dealing with this kind of eccentric personality.
At Hu Tao's urging, he slowly stood up and walked towards Fang Yun and Gan Yu.
Before Fang Yun spoke, he gave Fang Yun a look that told him to keep it a secret.
This gave Fang Yun a sense of déjà vu. If there was another order worth hundreds of billions, the old man would be able to smile with a crooked mouth.
However, Hu Tao was still very sensible. She thought that Zhongli and Fang Yun wanted to talk about serious matters, so not only did she not make a fuss, she also politely invited Fang Yun and Zhongli to the quiet room in the Hall of Rebirth to talk.
But when she turned around, she accidentally bumped into Ganyu who was waiting outside the door. Fortunately, with the help of Ganyu's cushion, the two of them only swayed slightly and then stabilized their steps.
Hu Tao's gaze lingered on Ganyu's Rasengan for a while. She was always full of energy, but at this moment her eyes seemed to have lost their luster. Then she muttered something "I'm not envious at all" and turned away, leaving Ganyu scratching her head in confusion.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Fang Yun was a little nervous, but he was also glad that Hu Tao didn't pull him aside to ask more questions, otherwise he really didn't know how to respond.
"Surprised, right? Although Hu Tao has a lively personality, that's just appearance. She is thoughtful and always knows the importance of things." Zhongli smiled with satisfaction like an old father.
Fang Yun felt that Zhongli really treated Hu Tao as his own daughter. No wonder his voice line said "rejecting a sick son-in-law".
Of course, this was just a joke. He quickly put away his thoughts and said, "Mo... Zhongli, I should have come to you a long time ago. I wonder if I have handled the Liyue issue properly?"
"You did a great job. You don't have to be so reserved." Zhongli shook his head. "Actually, it's my fault. I should have made it clear to you at the beginning."
"No, I didn't understand your hint. Actually, if you think about it, you will know that since Inazuma is Liyue's ally, how could she stand idly by when she came to Liyue at this time?" Fang Yun seemed to be thinking about something. "Zhongli, are you trying to tell us that Inazuma has been involved in the game for a long time?"
"Yes, I know you are looking for the future path for Inazuma, but you also have to see that you have been in the game from the beginning. The Kingdom of Winter is coveting your Heart of God, and the Abyss is trying to overthrow the throne of God. Even if you don't want to participate, you will be swept into the tide." Zhongli poured Fang Yun a cup of tea, "But our goal is not that lofty. I just want to protect a corner of the mortal world. I think Mondstadt and Inazuma are the same."
Fang Yun immediately understood and nodded slightly: "The three nations of Wind, Rock and Thunder will be eternal allies. No, Xumi should be included as well."
He had the same idea as the old man, he just wanted to seek peace for his people.
But after saying that, he felt it was a bit strange. He and Zhongli only formed an alliance so that Inazuma and Liyue could protect themselves in the chaos, but if Xumi and Mondstadt were added to the mix, then there would be four nations!
If they could get Fontaine to their side, wouldn't their self-preservation alliance become the largest force?
Wait, this familiar feeling...Please don’t harm me!
Zhongli was a little surprised: "Xumeru? I can sense the presence of Buyer on you. It seems that she is not dead?"
Fang Yun nodded and briefly explained the situation, which made Zhongli feel deeply moved.
"I didn't expect such a change to happen... But it's good, this way the pollution of the World Tree can be resolved, and we can meet again someday."
Frankly speaking, he had a good impression of Fang Yun, not only because of their similar stance and personality, but also because he saw a new possibility in Fang Yun, just like the Traveler, or even better.
If Fang Yun had joined, perhaps many things would have changed and there would not have been such a tragic ending.
Just like the Great Compassion Tree King, Zhongli thought she would definitely die after knowing that the World Tree was polluted. Who would have thought that she would find the elixir of immortality in her later years and live a second life.
"Perhaps, there will be a turnaround for Ruo Tuo." Zhongli sighed softly in his heart. Even though Ruo Tuo was confined voluntarily, this was still the thing he felt most guilty about.
Zhongli raised his teacup and took a sip. "If you have time, come to Liyue and get together."
Although it is impossible for the gathering of the Seven Gods to happen again, it now has some of the flavor of the past.
Afterwards, Zhongli explained his previous arrangement: "I actually had some selfish motives in inviting you to join the game. When I heard from you that my original test would succeed, I thought I might as well make it more intense and completely ignite the contradictions in Liyue."
Zhongli is of course aware of the consequences of having merchants rule the country. He believes that this time he was able to expose some rare merchants who surrendered to the enemy, as well as some stupid behaviors of the Seven Stars at critical moments, which will be very helpful for the future development of Liyue.
Fang Yun didn't care. After seeing that Zhongli was satisfied with his handling of the matter, he began to ask about the God's Throne and the Layered Rock Abyss.
"The matter of the throne involves the laws of nature. I cannot tell you too much, but your guess is correct. If the Abyss succeeds in contaminating the throne with the [Force of Nothingness], it means that the Abyss has begun to get involved in the authority of the world of Teyvat, which will make Teyvat, which is already on the defensive, even more passive."
"As for the Layered Abyss, there is a world crack deep in it, so the power of the abyss often surges out, and it is barely maintained by the Sky Nail. There is an ancient dragon named Apep there now, but I have personally gone there to ask about it. She went to the Layered Abyss to save her people. You just need to not disturb her."
Hearing that the old man had secretly taken a trip to the Layered Rock Abyss, Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh that this was the sense of security that the Emperor gave people.
However, Fang Yun realized the seriousness of Abyss' plan. Some of the power of the ancient dragon is hidden in the throne. Referring to the control of the power of water over the fetal sea, if Kong and the others succeed, the consequences will no less than the disaster brought about by Red King and Kanriya.
After consulting Zhongli for some more relevant information, Fang Yun and Ganyu left the Hall of Rebirth.
In his opinion, this communication was very necessary. It was considered to have completely confirmed Zhongli's attitude. Then he would meet with Venti again. The four-nation alliance would take care of each other, so they would not be afraid of any tricks played by Solstice and the Cult of the Abyss. Once they found out that they were going to do something big, they could concentrate their forces to eliminate the threat.
Of course, even if the territories of the four countries can be connected together, they are still too far apart. Therefore, Fang Yun plans to let Daci Tree King and Lei Dianying work together to see if they can build a portal.
But he also knew that the relationship between the two was not very good now, and he was worried about how to convince them to develop together... Should he hold a developer conference?
Forget it, let’s defeat them one by one first!
In addition, Zhongli also asked him to be careful of Apep. According to him, Apep, who was supposed to be suffering in the abyss in the desert, was reborn and was suspected to have comprehended the power from outside the sky.
At that time, Zhong Libie looked at Fang Yun meaningfully, as if he suspected his influence, because in Apepu's case, it was obvious that someone had helped her purify most of the pollution, allowing it to reach a level that she could absorb and digest.
However, Zhongli did not ask any further questions, so Fang Yun did not say anything. After returning, he practiced swordsmanship as usual. The next day, he took Ying and Yingmei to the Layered Rock Abyss.
After he entered the Layered Abyss, the Apostle of the Abyss who had received orders from His Royal Highness the Prince appeared from the purple-black space crack.
"Your Highness's blood relative has come to the Layered Rock Abyss. Report this to His Royal Highness as soon as possible."
The Abyss Apostle wearing blue armor sent his thoughts down, and with the help of the unique network of the Abyss, he was quickly teleported to where Kong was.
Inside the cave, purple-black fog filled with an oppressive atmosphere filled the air, and the statue of the Seven-Day God holding a precious orb was hung upside down on the edge of the cave.
Kong looked expressionlessly at the Seven Days Statue that had been mostly transformed. Next, he only needed to find the eye of the first tiller, and [The Loom of Destiny] would have truly taken the first step.
But at this time.
He sensed some fluctuations in the space nearby and frowned as he moved to the side. Sure enough, the next second the Apostle of the Abyss emerged from the crack in space.
"Your Highness, your blood relatives have gone to the Layered Abyss."
"Humph, doesn't she take Mond's lesson to heart? She's running around before her strength has recovered."
Kong shook his head and sighed helplessly. In fact, he was watching on the scene when Ying was purifying Tevarin. If it was someone else who ruined his plan at that time, how could he give up and transform Tevarin so easily?
But he didn't expect Ying to be so troublesome after arriving in Liyue.
"By the way, how is she doing now? Is she still living outdoors?"
After the words fell, the Apostle of the Abyss hesitated to speak.
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 5: Leader of the Four-Nation Alliance (K)
After Sora's question, the entire cave suddenly became silent.
"What's wrong? Is Ying having a bad life now?" Kong frowned and asked in a questioning tone when he saw his subordinates not daring to speak.
He was not angry with his men for no reason. After Ying emerged from Mondstadt, he instructed the Abyss Cult to avoid Yingmei's route of movement to avoid conflict between the two sides.
Moreover, as a first-round traveler who had visited the seven countries 500 years ago, Kong had long considered that Yingmei would face some financial difficulties.
Therefore, Kong made arrangements at that time: he ordered his Abyss Apostles to greet the grassroots cadres in Mondstadt and Liyue, that is, the Abyss Mages, and put the Mora that Kong had left over from his previous travels across the continent back into Kong's treasure chest, and asked these Abyss Mages to pretend to guard it.
Kong thought this strategy was quite clever, but he didn't know what was going on with the Abyss Mage below. Until now, no one had come to report the results of the strategy to him!
Kong's sharp gaze made the Apostle of the Abyss feel uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he could only kneel on one knee and report: "Your Highness, the princess is doing well."
Due to the presence of Lei Dianying, he did not dare to show his head, but used the abyss power surging from the abyss to peek at the outside world. He saw from afar that the outfit on Yingmei was very valuable, and her face was much rosier than when she was adventuring in the wild.
Judging by Kong's standards, Yingmei did eat well, sleep well, and use advanced weapons... but it seemed that she paid a price.
Yes, he is not an ordinary abyss monster, but a survivor of Kanriya, and was even once a court noble. Naturally, he can see that Yingmei has become Fang Yun’s personal female secretary, and she is willing to do so!
But how could he, a subordinate, speak up?
Is your female knight sister being kept by someone? Or are you congratulating the Kong family in advance on having an heir?
When he was struggling with whether to report in detail, Kong sighed, "As expected of my sister," and then asked, "What's so good about her?"
Kong was very curious about how Yingmei suddenly gained a foothold in Teyvat. She had been living in the open air when she was in Mondstadt before, so how come she made a lot of money after moving from Mondstadt to Liyue?
The Abyss Apostle could only combine his observations with the intelligence of the past few days and simply report: "Inazuma and Liyue have reached a military alliance. Prince Mingshen Fang Yun and General Lei Dian went to the Stratum Abyss together to attack the Abyss. The princess followed Fang Yun and changed into Inazuma's four-star weapon... It seems that she and Fang Yun are quite close."
"What? She is very close to that Fang Yun, and she is holding a four-star weapon?" Kong spoke word by word, and his calm tone made the Apostle of the Abyss feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
Oh no, His Royal Highness the Prince is going to be so angry that he’ll transform into a Super Kanreya!
however.
The next second, Kong smiled with relief.
"Alas, you don't understand my sister at all." Kong shook his head gently. No one in the world knew Yingmei's caution better than him.
How could the cautious Yingmei, now with the added courage of the blonde female knight, be defeated by Fang Yun, the "Fourth Raikage"?
"Ying must have joined Inazuma in order to find me. With the help of a country's power, the process will be much easier." Kong seemed to be explaining to his subordinates, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"And in her opinion, only the gods of various countries could know the truth of that year. Don't be fooled by her intimacy. In fact, I'm afraid she has been looking bitter the whole time. She just wants to deceive Fang Yun's trust."
"Uh...it seems not. The princess was smiling happily and took Fang Yun's hand when entering the Layered Rock Abyss."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Apostle of the Abyss saw His Royal Highness the Prince staring at him with a death gaze. His desire to survive made him quickly change his words: "Right... Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I was wrong. The princess was about to cry when she turned around!"
