Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"A region with a mixture of multiple energies and very poor ley line stability?"

The maintainer pondered for a moment but did not provide a definite answer.

"It's not difficult to retrieve them, but the problem lies in the pollution."

Her combat prowess is naturally very high, but combat prowess and the ability to purify are two different things. She has never had a good way to deal with pollution from outside the world.

"Leave the pollution to me, it's very simple," Fang Rui said confidently.

He possessed many methods for dealing with pollution, such as simply and brutally removing the seal, or directly purifying the filth...

"Alright, since you're so confident, I'll help you this once."

With that, the two left the place and headed towards the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

The two made no attempt to conceal their presence, and Zhongli could clearly sense that their auras were gradually moving away and approaching the location of the Layered Rock Abyss.

'The Abyss of Layered Rocks, what are they planning to do?'

Zhongli frowned slightly, unable to guess the purpose of the two's actions. He sighed helplessly and gave up thinking about it, instead focusing some of his attention on the situation in the Layered Rock Abyss.

Given the strength of the maintainer and Fang Rui, there's no need for them to resort to any underhanded tactics to harm Li Yue. After all, with the two working together, he simply couldn't stop them.

I'm spending some of my time paying attention, just to find out what the two of them are planning to do.

The Stratified Abyss was dug out by miners, and its vast underground space is astonishing.

“That’s outrageous,” the maintainer said.

“That’s really outrageous.” Fang Rui agreed. When he first saw the Layered Rock Abyss in the game, he really wanted to complain about how it was dug out.

Seeing the real-life version now makes me even more curious about how it was even unearthed. It's even more outrageous than what's shown in the game!

The dim environment did not cause Fang Rui any trouble, as both of them had night vision and could clearly see their surroundings.

There are people inside the Laminaria. Some are soldiers sent by Liyue to investigate the situation in the Laminaria, some are soldiers from the Paper Winter Kingdom who cooperate with Liyue, and some are a treasure-hunting group from who-knows-where...

Fang Rui had no intention of talking to anyone else. He and the Sustainer headed in the same direction and soon confirmed the location of the secret realm and began the plan to rescue the people.

The plan was progressing smoothly, and the floating abode was easily retrieved. During Fang Rui's expulsion of the pollution, the maintainer connected with the earth's veins to search for the other remnants of the floating abode's soul.

'The leyline network is chaotic; there's a problem with the World Tree. We must head to Sumeru as soon as possible.'

After throwing the collected remnants of souls into the body of the floating abode, the Sustainer said, "After things are settled in Liyue, how about we go to Sumeru?"

"Okay." Hearing the tone of the mediator, Fang Rui tilted his head and thought for a while before deciding not to refuse her.

After all, the problem of Sumeru is indeed quite urgent. We should deal with the problems of the World Tree and the Great Compassion Tree King first, and deal with other matters later.

From discussing the plan and executing it to its eventual success, the entire process took less than an hour.

The two looked at each other for a while, but did not return to Liyue Harbor.

"How about we make him a body?" Fang Rui suggested.

The person who maintained the relationship didn't say anything upon hearing this. She felt that Fang Rui had planned this all along. "I have no objection."

There are several ways to reshape the body in Teyvat, such as the "creation" mastered by Abedor, the cloning-like technology mastered by the Doctor, and the creation of life from elements...

Fang Rui's method was more convenient. It was the third magic from Type-Moon, Soul Materialization, which collected information recorded by the soul to construct a physical body. The compatibility with the soul was 100%, and it was no different from the physical body he had used before.

The maintainer watched Fang Rui's actions from the sidelines without saying anything.

Having been given a new lease on life, Fu She is currently in a coma, and it will take time for him to process his memories...

Meanwhile, Fang Rui was calculating the energy consumed. The energy consumed in reshaping Fu She's body was not much. If it were a higher-level demon god, the required energy would increase exponentially...

'It's within our tolerance level, no major problem.'

Thinking it over, Fang Rui watched as the maintainer stared blankly at the distant woods, and suddenly remembered something.

"When you talked to Zhongli about retirement, were you really thinking about retiring?"

“A little.” The maintainer nodded slightly. “If a suitable successor is found, I will retire immediately…”

After all, Teyvat has many problems and a bunch of people causing trouble, so the Maintainers are happy to be able to get rid of the work.

"Hmm." Fang Rui didn't say anything more. After the tour of the seven kingdoms was over, the maintainer should have new ideas, and he would ask again then.

Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon were searching for immortals, Zhongli was observing the Seven Stars, D'Artagnan was sending people to gather information, and he himself was waiting for news at the Northern Bank.

Venti wasn't in Liyue Harbor. In his words, the wind in Liyue Harbor was restless and agitated, which made him feel uneasy. Therefore, he chose to leave Liyue Harbor and go to the mountains to find peace.

The woman's target was Venti, and after discovering that Venti had left Liyue Harbor, she led her people to pursue him into the wilderness...

Shiho Miyano and the others stayed in Liyue Harbor. Due to the unexpected incident, they did not continue shopping or sightseeing, but instead rested in their RV.

Some time later, Ying traveled through mountains and rivers to tell the immortals about what had happened in Liyue Harbor. Liyue Harbor became even more chaotic. Even though the immortals didn't say anything, there was still an oppressive atmosphere surrounding the seven stars of Liyue.

Ying was completely unaware of this; she received a new job and worked with Zhongli to organize the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony.

Ying knew a little about Zhongli, knowing that he was a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth and that he knew Fang Rui.

During this time, Fushe awoke, gazing blankly at the mountains and forests of Liyue. He had finished sorting through his memories and was well aware of his fate.

That's why I feel so lost.

"Awake?" The sudden unfamiliar voice startled Fu She, who quickly turned his head to look behind him, adopting a defensive posture.

Two strangers came into view, their auras...undetectable, they were powerful individuals.

"Don't be so nervous, we rescued you." Fang Rui waved his hands a few times, signaling Fu She to relax.

The Sustainer wasn't paying attention here; instead, she was engrossed in browsing information from other worlds on her tablet, learning more to become stronger—that was one of her current goals.

"You saved me!" With one question resolved, another immediately filled her mind: "Why did you save me?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Moreover, rescuing him was no easy task. Since the other party went to such lengths to rescue him, their intentions... must be substantial!

"Why did I save you? That's a question..." Fang Rui clapped his hands first, then pointed to Fu She and praised, "Good question!"

"There's no particular reason. I just wanted to do it, after all, saving you isn't difficult."

Fushe: "…………"

His tone suggested he wasn't lying!

“You don’t need to be so wary. I’ll take you to see Morax, and he’ll give you an explanation. As for now…”

Fang Rui's gaze drifted into the distance, beyond the rolling mountains lay the boundless ocean.

In addition to the usual fish, the oceans of Teyvat are also home to the Fatalis and sea monsters...

The commotion in Oser was a signal; the sea beasts that had once followed Oser were gathering, while other sea beasts and demon gods' followers were watching...

In short, the ocean is restless.

Recalling the scenes in the story, Seven Stars were prepared, but unfortunately, their preparations were insufficient. They had weapons to fight the enemy, but no defensive equipment.

When Osel appeared, it stirred up waves, and the coastline of Liyue Harbor was battered by the waves.

"Who should I remind...?"

None of the seven stars or the secretary in Liyue were familiar to me.

Immortals... I'm not familiar with them either!

You can tell Ying that she can see the Seven Stars, making it very convenient for her to deliver messages.

At this time, Ying and Zhongli should be preparing for the ceremonial ceremony to send off the immortals. Now that the decision has been made, Fang Rui should take action. After all, it's better to prepare for important matters early.

The three arrived near Tiger-Eating Rock and met Ying, who was holding a glass lily.

"Hey!" Fang Rui raised his hand in greeting.

"What are you doing here?" Ying asked Fang Rui, but her gaze was fixed on the Maintainer.

"There's something I'd like you to pass on to Ningguang: the sea near Liyue Harbor is turbulent."

Fang Rui gave a hint but didn't elaborate, which could also be considered a test to see how Ningguang would react.

Zhongli didn't say anything upon hearing this. His attention was entirely focused on Fushe. He was very surprised by Fushe's reappearance, and his expression changed unusually, as if he was somewhat taken aback.

Fu She looked excited and seemed about to call out to the Emperor, but Fang Rui, who had anticipated this, restrained him and prevented him from speaking for the time being.

"Tell Ningguang as soon as possible." After instructing Ying, Fang Rui looked at Zhong Li, "I know you have some questions for me, we'll talk about them later."

With that, Fang Rui and the maintainer left the place. Fu She wanted to stay, but was not allowed to.

Zhongli seemed to have guessed something, and his expression relaxed. Ying bid farewell to Zhongli and went to Qunyu Pavilion to relay the information.

As for Zhong Li, he found Fang Rui and the others.

"Didn't we say we'd talk later? Why did you come along?" Fang Rui asked.

“Your Majesty,” Fushe called out.

Zhongli nodded slightly in response to Fushe, then turned to Fang Rui, "I'd like to ask about your plans."

"She was preparing to retire, and considering that there were quite a few problems in Teyvat, she planned to find her a few employees to handle those matters."

If those who uphold the principles of justice choose to retire, many problems will surface, and chaos will follow.

"The employees you're talking about?" Zhong Li asked.

"Tentatively, it's Gui Zhong, Lei Dian Zhen, the Great Kindness Tree King, and some demon god followers," Fang Rui replied. "Actually, the Storm Demon God is also on the shortlist, but it's her personality..."

"I see." Zhongli glanced at the Maintainer, and seeing that she did not refute him, he nodded slightly. The Maintainer had been in office longer than him, so it was only natural that she wanted to retire.

Have you made a retirement plan? Do you need my help?

Upon hearing this, before Fang Rui could answer, the maintainer of information from other worlds reflexively shouted, "No need!"

The image of the rock dragon falling flashed before my eyes once again.

"Is that so?" Zhongli's tone was somewhat regretful, then she turned to ask about another matter, "Then do you need the services of the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Huh? You actually thought of getting business for the Rebirth Hall?" Fang Rui was very surprised.

"No need!" The maintainer's face darkened; she was retired, a normal retirement.

"Alright!" With a regretful expression, Zhongli left.

"Uh, the Emperor has changed so much...!" Fu She said with great emotion.

The emperors of the past were never... this down-to-earth?
