Kapitel 115: Chapter 115
Please visit the Fairy Ceremony Venue.
This is a lotus pond in Yujingtai.
An offering table was placed in the center of the Bagua, piled high with all kinds of expensive tributes, as if they were provided freely.
Qianyan troops were also present to maintain order at the venue. However, since the Rite of Descension is held every year, the permanent residents of Liyue have seen it so many times that they rarely attend.
Most of those interested in watching the ceremony are travelers and merchants from foreign nations.
Lumine and Paimon had come to Liyue for the first time and happened to be returning from the ecological zone in a team with Xiangling and Hu Tao.
With a relaxed attitude, they decided to attend the ceremony to see if they could catch a glimpse of the Geo Archon and gather some information.
"Here we come."
In a building near the venue, Takumi, who had already opened his personal live broadcast on Teyvat Cheers, noticed that, in the crowd, a girl with blonde hair and golden eyes appeared.
There was also little Paimon, the standard "emergency food."
It was so conspicuous!
Many viewers had come to the live broadcast.
They had all come because of Club Manager Takumi's name.
People had a consensus or a general view—
Manager Takumi was like a god on earth.
In the age of Pokémon, he was akin to a creator or even a priest of creation.
A "people-friendly god" opening a live broadcast.
The comments were very harmonious.
It seemed the audience knew that this streamer wasn't someone to trifle with—he wouldn't just "chat with the audience" or "go live."
If someone really upset him, they'd fear being killed through the internet connection!
**Viewer Comment:** I am from Mondstadt, and this is my first time directly witnessing Liyue's Rite of Descension. Thank you, Mr. Takumi, for the live broadcast.
Yes, the people of Mondstadt sighed.
Why did they sigh?
Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, had not performed miracles in a long time. Though the people of Mondstadt believed that the ruling god protecting their land was as free-spirited as a dandelion...
Liyue's people were proud. Even though the Geo Archon hadn't performed any true miracles for a long time and mostly existed in legends, he still gave some oracle every year during the Rite of Descension to prepare for Liyue's development for the coming year—giving advice or something.
Takumi glanced at the comments.
Mondstadt's "fish god," Barbatos, had relinquished his heart as the Anemo Archon.
Note : Venti has been call nickname "fish God" because his pokemon always catching fish in the lake at Mondstadt.
Now, it was time for the old Archon, who had always wanted to retire.
Takumi touched his chin, laughed, and spoke to the audience in the live broadcast:
"If you saw a ruling god die, what would be your first reaction?"
**Comments:** ???
A series of question marks floated by.
Takumi didn't explain. If he said too much, he feared spoiling it, and then he might be unanimously blamed as the mastermind behind the assassination. What would he do then?
Under the noon sun, Ningguang appeared, surrounded by her three close aides.
"The auspicious time has arrived," she announced, and the power of the Geo element within her erupted, channeling a force into the ceremonial cauldron on the altar.
Boom!
A divine light shot into the sky, as if it could reach an unattainable divine realm.
Then, it seemed to catch the attention of the gods.
Ningguang suddenly felt something was off.
A shadow enveloped her.
"Thump!"
An ancient yet sacred dragon corpse fell from the sky.
Her aides were so terrified that they collapsed, sitting on the ground, staring at the dragon corpse that fell near the altar with disbelief.
The nearby onlookers were collectively stunned.
Ningguang was also stunned for a while, but quickly stepped forward to inspect it, then gave a stern order to the nearby Qianyan Army:
"The emperor has been killed! Seal off the area!"
In Takumi's live broadcast, it was as if the system had malfunctioned—no comments floated by for a long time.
Apparently, the audience was stunned by the turn of events as well.
Takumi clicked his tongue and looked at Ningguang at the venue below.
In a sense, to fanatical Geo Archon believers, Ningguang wasn't even a pious follower.
She was initially stunned witnessing the incident. Now, the Qianyan Army had been dispatched to question the mortals watching the ceremony. Ningguang stood still in front of the altar for a while, the confusion in her eyes slowly dissipating.
"However, the old Archon's divine body and corpse are truly remarkable!"
Takumi's eyes lit up.
He focused on the corpse, now covered with a silk cloth by Qianyan Army soldiers.
An item information frame appeared.
...
**Ancient Body of the Geo Archon**
**Description:** After six thousand years of turmoil, time cannot erase this body. It is a witness to six thousand years of history.
**Quality/Grade:** ? (Unidentifiable)
**Purpose/Function:** Although it is a corpse in suspended animation, having lost the Gnosis and the true spirit of the god, it still witnessed the six thousand-year history of Morax.
There are even some mysterious rules and authorities engraved on the body.
Letting Pokémon use or wear it may create a "false god" from the Land of Geo.
However, weak rock-type Pokémon may be overwhelmed by rules and authority if they attempt to become gods.
Therefore, it is recommended only for Champion-level or Legendary Pokémon to use this mythical resource appropriately!
...
Wow!
There was so much information!
Takumi looked closer.
The system had been very careful in wording the description of Morax's divine body, ensuring no words were misinterpreted.
Moreover, the color of the item frame was not the usual golden legendary but was plated with a layer of depth.
Looking again at the final row—mythical resources.
Takumi's pupils couldn't help but contract.
"In the Pokémon world, there are only a few mythical PokémonSo, can this divine body create a mythical creature comparable to Dialga and Palkia?"
Takumi thought carefully, then shook his head again.
A false god!
He found the key phrase.
It meant that even if all the power from the divine body was absorbed, it still wouldn't grant true authority or divine duties!
"However, this false god is just a forgery compared to the original Geo Archon. It is a false deity without Celestia's blessing or a Gnosis. Doesn't that still reflect the level of combat power?"
Takumi pondered more, starting a mental list of legendary Pokémon with rock-type attributes. It would take time to create a master-level rock-type Pokémon.
But there were no readily available rock-type mythical Pokémon.
**Diancie**
A legendary Pokémon of the rock and fairy type.
It is known as the princess of the diamond mine country, and its pink body is praised as the most beautiful in the world.
There were also Regirock, Terrakion...
Takumi racked his brains and could only think of these. He wasn't sure if there were others he'd missed.
Well, perhaps, we could add the pseudo Arceus from the Hisui region?
If that Arceus was paired with the Legend Plate, it would also become a rock type.
"Hey, it's rumored that Arceus' power and divine authority are deeply connected to each of the legendary plates"
"If I use any rock-type mythical Pokémon and add the Rock-type Legend Plate..."
"Plus, Morax's divine body now—"
"To be precise, it is a mythical resource, the Immortal Ancestor Law..."
"Can we recreate a perfect Geo Archon on Teyvat? Interesting!"
As Takumi's mind raced with boundless ideas for scientific research, a dangerous notion of creating a new Geo Archon began to take shape.
Lumine and Paimon were considered suspicious and potentially guilty because they evaded the Qianyan Army's interrogation. They were chased by the Qianyan Army.
Childe appeared to help Lumine out of the predicament.
**Takumi:** "Hmm..."
This scene.
I've played through this scene before!
But there was a difference from the original.
Lumine and Childe were no longer meeting for the first time.
Childe was now a cute pet enthusiast in the group chat, a soft-hearted influencer, and a big star on Teyvat Cheers.
Communication between them was quite smooth.
**Childe:** "Ahem, this is a sigil. Go to Jueyun Karst to summon the Adepti"
"That way, you'll be ahead of the Qixing and gain the protection and trust of the Adepti'
"That should get you out of this situation..."
Lumine was hesitant.
"But what about the Trainer Competition? It starts tomorrow!"
Paimon was also worried.
"Yeah! We worked so hard for the competition. We can't just give it up!"
There was a mischievous smile in Childe's eyes. This plan seemed like it would remove a strong competitor for the championship. He clicked his tongue and spread his hands.
"Under these circumstances, do you still want to participate as a suspect?"
Lumine looked confused.
At that moment, a soft voice interrupted them:
"You don't have to go to Jueyun Karst to find the Adepti"
"You can participate as planned."
Huh?
Who was it?
Childe was stunned and turned to see the newcomer. After recognizing them, he said:
"It's Manager Takumi... well, that's settled then."
He gave an awkward laugh.
Seeing Takumi's expression of "Why are you still here?" Childe wanted to run away.
But he looked around.
Hey!
Wait a minute! Isn't this the entrance to the Northland Bank?
The Harbingers were all at Liyue's base camp!
"Please allow me to say something"
"This is our headquarters." Childe spoke bravely.
"Never mind."
Takumi didn't have much else to say to Lumine.
"Just stay in Liyue Harbor and compete without worries. I'll handle the Qixing and the Adepti."
After saying that, Takumi left and went to the Jade Chamber above the sky.
Several members of Liyue's Qixing had gathered there.
Tianquan Ningguang, Tianshu, Yuheng Keqing, Secretary Ganyu...
Takumi walked into the chamber, his voice echoing before he even stepped inside:
"Anyway, the Liyue Trainer Competition will go on as scheduled tomorrow!"
"Let me know if there's pressure you can't handle or endure."
Ningguang looked at Takumi, who appeared at the door, with a wry smile.
"The pressures of the mortal world—rumors and disturbances—are not major issues for today's Qixing," she said.
She then looked in the direction of Jueyun Karst and sighed.
"What worries me are the Adepti, who will surely come down to Liyue to question us!"
"If conflict breaks out, the Trainer Competition may be postponed..."
Takumi turned his back to leave.
His faint voice echoed through the meeting room:
"Is that all?"
Ningguang: ...
Uncle Tian, Keqing, and Ganyu exchanged astonished glances.
Indeed.
Although the Geo Archon was gone, there were still gods on earth in Liyue.
But then Ningguang's thoughts shifted, her expression changing. She spoke quickly:
"Originally, there were all sorts of theories regarding the emperor's death"
"First, it was the Seven Stars' plan to usurp power"
"Now, there's another possibility"
"The stronger Takumi is, the more likely he is to be the culprit—whether his attitude toward the Archon or Liyue is good or evil"
"The power he possesses is the greatest doubt of all!"
