Sighing Primis shook his head and put that thought away for now. Though he won't deny that having Zhongli as a friend was not a bad thing.
Primis: Do you want say anything, Ei?
Seeing Ei deep in thought, he asked the question which returned her back to the land.
Ei: It's nothing important. It's just....
Primis: Just?
Sighing she looked at where Rex Lapis was sitting a second ago before nostalgic expression appeared on her face.
Ei: Hearing Morax words reminded of the time when I also have close friends by my side.... Alas, they are gone now.
Primis: …. Cataclysm of 500 years ago.
Ei: Yes.
She replied with some difficult. Those things she saw and lost in past still hunt her if she decided to take a moment to rest.
Primis: Ignorance is Bliss.
Ei: Huh?
As the electro was showing confused expression, Primis didn't try to elaborate. These words were not for her, but for the people of Khaenri'ah who met their doom. Not only did they get their hands on knowledge that they shouldn't possessed, they even began plotting to rebel against and over the gods.
As a result, Celestia showed them their place by destroying their very nation that they considered to be the "pride of humankind."
'Primis: They underestimating their enemies too much and paid the price for it.'
Primis: How stupid.
Ei: Stupid? Who?
Primis: Inhabitants of Khaenri'ah.
Ei: Why is it?
Primis: You will know.
Ei: ......…
Putting an end to the conversation with Ei, Primis decided to do something which he wanted to try and it might increase the speed of his recovery.
He then closed his eyes and concentrated. When he did so, his zenith started releasing out of his body slowly and slowly. However, this time, it was invisible and controlled to the point that even Electro Archon standing behind him didn't see or sense anything.
Zenith was coming out of Primis like a gentle stream of water and was merging with the very world.
He could feel the breathing of the world itself. It's flora, fauna and other people that lived or were living on it. In other words, he felt like he was becoming the world himself.
Nevertheless, Primis had no intention of doing so. This path can make his and this world's Will to merge and become one. Means he would become the Will of this "Genshin Impact" World. It may sound tempting since this way you can have control over the world which other can't, but it would also make the person to be fully attached with the world, unable to leave ever again.
This was good for those people or transmigrators or reincarnators who only wished to stay here forever. But Primis was someone who occasionally travelled from one world to another. Hence, this path didn't interest him in anyway.
Next, was the path of becoming the world as a whole. To put it another way, it was the path was Eighth-Dimensional God. Destroying once own consciousness and become the planet itself on which the people will live. Like Gaia of Fate Universe.
Ignoring this path too, Primis kept on going to the deeper into the world.
Before long, he finally since destination.
It was the very core of the World. The place where everything began and end. Only the wielder of zenith(merging of two aspects) or true zenith(merging of three aspects) can reach here.

Two hours later.
Primis finally opened his eyes and let out a breath. But compared to before, his breath now contained the very essence of the world itself.
This was the path he wanted to take. The path which can only be taken by someone who had the experience of being a "Planar Lord" before. It was the path "Pseudo-Planar Lord".
As the name suggested, he was a "Planar Lord" but not entirely. In this state, one only possessed 10% power of a true "Planar Lord". But still it was enough to move around the world without any fear.
Now, the reason why Primis took this path. You can compare it with the Superman of DC Universe.
Superman needed the power of sun to become stronger. "Planar Lord", on the other hand, needed the very essence of the World to become stronger. Hence, to them their own world was their sun.
And just like how Superman felt rejuvenate and calm while walking under sun, "Planar Lord" experience the same. So, now even when Primis strolling around the world, he would constantly bath under this world's power. This would speed up his recovery even further even while he was not concentrating.
Next, why Primis didn't become "Planar Lord" right away and instead chose this path? Well, it was not easy to become true "Planar Lord". It will be explained later.
Standing up from his chair, Primis stretched his body as he felt zenith moving through every part, spores, and cells of his body making them more active.
'Primis: Not bad.'
He then walked over to one side of the restaurant and opened the window.
CREAK!!
His eyes were looking at the horizon.
'Primis: Now then, it won't be long before Lumine, Jean, and Diluc will wake up after digesting all the memories and experience of their future. Once they will, I will start Lumine's elemental training. I am sure Jean and Diluc will also join in order to become strong faster. Because they way things stand right now, Mondstadt will definitely fall by the hands of those things in a mere 1-2 hours in case Barbatos and Dvalin will need more time to recover back to their peak strength.'
While Primis was deep in these thoughts, he didn't notice Ei who was looking at him with a shocked expression on her face.
.

Let's rewind time a bit.
Ever since the Will of the World got Primis words that he would let a hand, it became lazy and didn't even bother to check what was happening in its world any longer.
It was just using its time to rest or talk with other Wills of the worlds who were part of this "Planar War".
The same thing was happening when Primis reached the core part of the world.
At that time, the Will of the World was dozing around. It, of course sensed someone trying to connect with its world's essence and woke up. Feeling irritated that someone disturbed its nap, the Will didn't even bother checking who was the perpetrator.
It thought that it must be that transmigrator who used some kind of artefact or treasure given by its system to reach here.
Before Primis agreed to help, the Will was keeping an eye on Yuuya's every movement. Hence, it knew that Yuuya wanted to become the harem king and get his hands on all the waifus. At first, Will let the things move at its own pace but when it noticed Yuuya's growing animosity towards Primis, it thought of punishing him in the future.
And now that 'Yuuya' had come knocking on its door, Will decided to make it pay.
The reason why the Will thought it wasn't Primis was because it knew that he had become "Planar Lord" before. So, it never came to its mind that Primis would take different approach this time.
As a result, it did something that will definitely make Primis beat the crap out of it once he will realize idiocy of this stupid Will.
Well, it won't make things good or bad for Primis, but it will just make things more complicated and awkward.

Back to the present.
Ei was not the ones looking at Primis with shocked expression. Upstairs, Xiangling who seemed to wake up and was yawning was also became dumfounded as all her drowsing vanished in an instant. Ganyu and Shenhe who seemed to have calmed down were also bewildered.
Makoto who was walking down the stairs to meet up with Primis and Ei also paused her steps, feeling stunned.
While in Jade Chamber, Ningguang who was thinking about how to handle the current situation of Liyue Harbor and Keqing who seemed to have also woke up by now also stopped their movements and were astonished. Even Yelan who received the message to no longer investigate Primis was surprised.
There were even more women in Liyue who were facing a variety of emotions.
And Liyue was not the only ones.
Back at Mondstadt, Lisa who was having headache while handling the paper work, Babara who was praying for her sister Jean to wake up, Amber and Eula who were on a mission, all of them appalled.
The reason was simple, they all heard those familiar or unfamiliar voice.
Yup, you heard it right. To be more precise, they all heard Primis thoughts.
That was the punishment the Will of the World decided to impose on Yuuya. Thinking it will make it impossible for the 'waifus' to fall for him if they will hear his perverted thoughts.
Alas, it would have never imagined that because of its laziness, Primis became the target.
.
.
.
Back to Primis.
Makoto: My Lord!
Primis: Hmm.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Primis turned and saw Makoto who rushing towards him with panic on her face.
Primis: What is it?
Makoto: My Lord, actually.........…
However, no matter how much she tried, no word came out of her mouth. She aghast at this and tried various method like telepathy, writing, or even using her power. Yet, the result remained the same. It was as if something was preventing her from doing so.
As she was getting more and more alarmed, Primis with this keen sight noticed what was the cause of her failure.
It was the power of the World.
Whenever Makoto tried to tell him something, the world prevented her from doing so.
But Primis remembered that Wills of the Worlds won't try to hurt him. He can't even sense its enmity towards him. Hence, for now he concluded that Will of the World was doing this in order to prevent some mishap from happening to him.
Still, this didn't mean he will let his guard down.
There's always exception. So, Primis didn't fully believe that all Wills of the Worlds will be friendly towards him.
Primis: No need to force yourself.
Makoto: But it may affect you greatly, My Lord!
Primis: Maybe. Though do you think some hurdles will be able to stop me.
Makoto: That's true....
At this Makoto started pondering about something.
'Makoto: How do I forget that the person standing in front of me is someone capable of destroying this world, "The Crimson Moon"? Does he will really care even if everyone will come after him?'
Relaxing she glanced back at Ei. Their eyes met and they nodded. It enough for them to confirm that they both could not only hear Primis thoughts but their thoughts were also thinking the same.
'Makoto & Ei: Who can go against "The Crimson Moon"? Maybe the Heavenly Principles?'
Even though Primis diffused the situation for now, his guard was already up. He had a feeling that things were not as simple as they appeared.
『 Primis: For now, I should focus on the situation of Wanmin Restaurant and think about other things later. 』
Makoto: ......…
Ei: .........…
'Makoto & Ei: Yep. We heard that too. It was definitely not the dream before.'
