Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

"Pink Fairy Miss: What a pitiful little cutie...? Come here and let your big sister Airi give you a hug and comfort you~"

"Electric Dragon of Paradise: There's really no need for that..."

『Pink Fairy Girl?: QAQ... Bud1, seriously, I'm going to cry~』

[Traveler: Kiana, over there...]

[Lord Kuji: Wow, this looks so lively! I really want to join in.]

[Eternity: Am I not enough for you?]

[Lord Kuji: Hehe~ Country girl~ Are you unhappy? You're enough for me~]

[Eternal: Come to the castle tower tonight...]

[Lord Kuji: If you miss me, I can come right now~]

[Emergency Food: Hey! There are so many people here, you two!]

[Tianquan: How interesting...]

……

As they talked, Jue Xi had already walked around the 'tower'.

"Tsk, if Sirin happens to become a Herrscher at the same time, am I doomed... Hopefully I can make it in time."

Jue Xi had just placed her hand on the wall when she felt a bullet whizzing through the air and hurtling towards her...

Jue Xi simply dodged to the side. Even without her powers, she still had the strength of an A-rank Valkyrie... It would be incredibly embarrassing to be hit by such a toy.

"Fortunately, someone shot at me, which means that not everyone in the lab is dead, and Sirin hasn't become a Herrscher yet."

The person who fired the shot was also somewhat surprised. Someone who could dodge bullets? This person must have at least the strength of a B-rank Valkyrie, and being a man, his identity is likely extraordinary.

"Hey, guys down here, this shot is just a warning. This is a secret laboratory belonging to Destiny. If you don't want to die, get out of here."

Jue Xi wanted to laugh when she heard it.

A warning? That shot would have killed any ordinary person, okay? You're only calling it a warning because you think I'm too tough to deal with, aren't you? You're really a beast...

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Juexi still replied with a smile.

“I was sent by Bishop Otto to investigate your work progress. You have a pretty good work attitude, very serious. I will report the facts to the Bishop…”

The guard who fired the shot was stunned. Was it true? He was just a lowly gatekeeper and didn't know if it was real or not. But if it was true, he would be finished for life if he neglected his duty. He had indeed dodged the bullet.

The guard's brain spun rapidly until:

"Excuse me, please wait a moment while I check with my superiors."

……

"Destiny"

“Bishop, the head of the Babylonian Laboratory has sent you a communication request.”

“Babylon Laboratory? Connect, Amber.”

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

After connecting the communication for His Excellency the Bishop, Amber tactfully left the room.

"Your Majesty the Bishop..."

The person in charge sounded fearful during the communication.

"How's the experiment going?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency... the result you desired has not yet been achieved..."

"So what is the purpose of this communication, my friend?"

The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the word "friend" emphasized so vehemently.

"Your Excellency, a man came to the Tower of Babylon today—no, no, a guest."

Otto knew his men's modus operandi; if they were just ordinary people wandering the snowfields, they would have been shot long ago. He asked with interest.

"and then?"

"Then?"

The person in charge became noticeably more flustered...

"Then...then he said he was your friend, and that he had come to inspect our work..."

Otto gave a cold laugh.

"Ha, why don't you invite him in? Are you going to leave him freezing outside?"

"I'll go right away, I'll go right away..."

After finishing speaking, the person in charge did not dare to hang up the communication immediately, but stood up and waited quietly for the voice on the other end of the communication.

A moment later, the static of the call being disconnected came from the other end of the line...

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately his expression changed completely, and he slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Damn it, that damn idiot! (Cloze test) He actually dared to fire a gun! If he had hurt someone, and the bishop had to blame us, none of us would be alive! That kid who fired the gun won't be eating breakfast tomorrow!"

……

Following this communication, Juexi was also invited into the Babylonian Laboratory.

Jue Xi was making plans in her mind.

As expected of Otto, he has the mentality of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free." Since he said that, he will definitely invite me in for a chat.

The head of the Babylon Laboratory chattered incessantly beside Jue Xi, describing how hard he had worked and how successful his experiments had been...

Juexi was getting a little annoyed by what she heard.

"Alright, I don't care about that. What I need to do now is communicate with the bishop and report the situation."

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

"Yes, yes, these are not important. The leader's lesson is that reporting the work situation to His Holiness the Bishop is the most important thing. You see, my ideological awareness needs improvement. Hahaha."

……

"Chizha Yuehai Yuyu Cat: No way, this person is so two-faced! Whatever those above him in rank say is right, but those below him are pushed to their deaths at the slightest sign of trouble. Is this how fate works? How can someone like this be a leader? A person in charge?"

Himeko Murata: There's nothing I can do, Kiana. This kind of injustice always breeds in the unseen, dark corners. These parasites will always exist, and tragically, they often rise quickly in the workplace…

"Pink Fairy Miss?: How realistic! People like this existed in our time too, but I believe there were definitely many truly hardworking and sensible people too~ At least my friends Himeko-sensei, Mei, and Kiana are all lovely and upright girls! Let me admire them~"

"Electric Dragon of Paradise: As expected of Airi, no matter what the topic, you always manage to bring it up to cute girls..."

Inside the Babylonian laboratory, the person in charge stood trembling beside Jue Xi, watching as Jue Xi initiated a communication with Otto...

Jue Xi glanced at the person in charge and said unhappily.

"What are you still standing here for? Do you think you have the right to eavesdrop when I'm reporting to Bishop Otto?"

Although the person in charge was unhappy, he naturally forced himself to put on a bright smile like a chrysanthemum.

"What you say is true, sir. I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now..."

As he exited and closed the door, Otto also connected to the call, and then Juexi's familiar voice came through the phone.

"Hello, my friend whom I have never met before. What advice do you have for me after visiting my Babylonian Laboratory?"

"Your Excellency, you are quite impolite. How could my thoughts possibly be of any importance to you? I would hardly offer any guidance, but I am here to tell you some good news."

"You're too modest. There's an old saying in China that I've always kept in mind: 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' My friend—but what exactly is this 'good news' you're talking about?"

"This good news is naturally that Your Excellency's wish will be fulfilled in the future, and I believe this is the good news you most want to hear."

Otto chuckled dismissively, thinking to himself that it was no different from saying nothing at all.

"My wish? My friend, what do you think my wish is?"

Jue Xi didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the truth directly.

"Your Excellency, your wish certainly wouldn't be something like saving the world, would it? If I had to guess... Otto, your wish is to resurrect Kallen, isn't it..."

The previously "pleasant" atmosphere suddenly vanished, and silence fell over the air. Although Otto did not immediately hang up the communication, he was clearly stunned... The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, and he had to admit that even Otto, who was over five hundred years old, was extremely happy after hearing those words, regardless of whether they were true or not.

"Hahahaha... My dear friend... Who exactly are you?"

……

Teyvat was in an uproar.

"resurrection"……

The word "resurrection" has an extremely powerful impact and allure for anyone, even a god. After all, who doesn't have regrets? And judging from the current situation, Otto really did it... None of them thought that Jue Xi would lie.

[Priest: @AyatoKamisato, don't think I didn't recognize your voice. Bishop Otto's voice is exactly the same as yours! Explain!]

[Head of the Shinto family, the magistrate of the shrine: Lord Miyaji, you jest. The similarity in voice is merely a coincidence. How could I possibly do something even the gods cannot?]

[Wang Sheng Tang's Special Offer (Ongoing 50% off, buy one get one free, first come, first served): Yes, yes, the dead can't be brought back to life. That's too illogical. Let's continue watching.]

……

"Who am I? My name is Juexi, Bishop Otto."

"Very good, very good, Jue Xi. You're saying... I successfully resurrected Kallen?"

"That's right, but it's not a complete resurrection as you imagine."

Otto's initially happy expression instantly turned cold.

"What do you mean, Juexi?"

"To put it simply, Bishop Otto, you created a future where Karen is alive, but you are not in that future."

The air fell into a deathly silence again. After a moment of contemplation, Otto spoke softly.

"Fine, having done so many things like this, I'm no longer qualified. Thank you, my friend. But I have another question: how did you know all this?"

Jue Xi didn't even hesitate; Otto must have an exceptionally strong ability to learn.

"I time-traveled, you know, hahaha. You later abdicated, and Theresa became the new Bishop of Destiny. There's something else I don't know if I should say."

Although Otto did not immediately believe Juexi's claim that he was a time traveler, he still smiled faintly.
