Chapter 46: Guizhong
A day after I got the hang of 15% of my flames, I decided to roam around Liyue for a bit. Yes, the entirety of Liyue. With my speed and my ability to both teleport and fly, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get around pretty easily.
While I was flying around Guili Plains, I noticed a bed of blue flowers on the ground. I went down slowly and landed just outside the bed of flowers. When I looked closely, I recognized the flowers. These were Glaze Lilies. They were beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off them. I noticed a small patch of grass in the middle of the flower bed that seemed soft. Well, I say small but it seems just about the same size as me.
"Hm, it is rather peaceful here…"
I decided to just lie on the patch of grass and look at the sky. While looking at the clear blue sky, I was playing around with the elements that I could use as of now. I created a pseudo Glaze Lily using Geo and Anemo. The stem was made from Geo while the petals were made from Anemo. I just noticed it now, but my control and precision has increased drastically. I made the pseudo Glaze Lily look like an exact copy because it even has all the details.
While I was looking at the pseudo Glaze Lily that I made, I heard someone singing a lullaby. I sat up and looked around, but there was no one there. I kept on hearing the lullaby until I slowly became sleepy. And then, just a few seconds later, I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a place filled with Glaze Lilies and the sky was pure white that it was honestly blinding. I was still hearing the lullaby, but just like earlier, there was still no one. And then, the lullaby stopped. A few moments later, a calming and sweet voice of a woman greeted me.
"Oh, who do we have here?"
I looked around, but still nothing.
"Don't bother looking for me. Or rather, you're already looking at me."
"Wait, does that mean…"
"Yep, this whole place is me. A memory of me."
That explains why the sound was coming from the whole place. That also explains the white sky. I asked the woman who she was and she said that her name was Guizhong. The name was a bit familiar to me, so I asked her if she was the one who made the Guizhong ballista.
"Yes, I was the one who made that alongside Cloud Retainer." When she said that, I activated my eyes to check if she was telling the truth. I looked around and I saw the type of energy that Venti had.
"Well, isn't that something? I'm talking to a dead god right now."
"Ehehe, I'm more amused by the fact that you can even talk to me rather than you not being shocked. Also, what happened to your eyes?"
"Well, I already met Barbatos and a god also stopped me from leaving this world. Also, I just checked to make sure that you really are a god."
"Oh, okay. Also, I haven't really seen what's happening in the outside world till now, mind telling me?"
"Sure." I said as I smiled.
I told her everything that I learned in history class and everything I read in books. I wasn't really sure if all of them are accurate since the passage of time does change information a bit. Also, while reading a book, I found the name Khaenri'ah. I remember this name very well. That's because this was the very place where me and Lumine woke up. I was shocked to learn that this Khaenri'ah place was destroyed 500 years ago. Meaning… I've been in this world for 500 years. If Lumine has been awake for that time period, I wonder how much she changed.
"A lot has happened huh. Ahaha, I can't believe that the same Morax I knew is now this much caring toward humans."
"Oh, you mean the god that protects Liyue?"
"Yep! I wonder what he's doing now…"
"Actually…"
I then started to explain how he died, but I told her that I think he faked his death. When she asked me how I was so sure of that, I explained my eyes and its ability to see life energy and the same energy gods have.
"That's pretty smart of you."
"Well, it kinda activated due to me being shocked that a god just died in front of me and I couldn't accept it."
"Fair point."
After that, we talked for hours. However, she told me that an hour here is just 5 minutes in the real world. Which means, I can be here for 10 hours but it will only be 50 minutes in the real world. That's actually useful. I could train here for hours and it will only be a few minutes outside. However, that idea was shot down quickly.
"This is only a one time thing, so you won't be able to go back here again."
"Well that sucks."
We continued on talking until the place suddenly started to flicker out of existence.
"What's happening?"
"Looks like my time is up. Well, you should get going now. Also, check if you can also talk to Havria. If you meet her in her goddess form, try to touch her. Something interesting might happen."
"Why don't I just do that to you?"
"Did you forget? This whole place is my form now. This is the embodiment of my memory. Havria may be different. She may be in her goddess form."
"Oh, okay. Well, see ya!"
With that, the whole place disappeared from existence and I woke up. When I looked around me, the Glaze Lily bed was gone as well as the patch of grass. Well, that was interesting. Now, time to find Havria!
"..."
Who the fuck is Havria!?
