In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

Istaru's actions were purely provocative, and those watching the sky couldn't help but laugh, including Nico.

"This is hilarious! Which one are you looking at? Haha, this Death Ruler is indeed covered in eyes."

"Heh, is that really their personality?"

"It shouldn't be like that, at least not their way of getting along. However, it does reflect some of their characteristics."

Back on the celestial screen, Ronawa remained calm and didn't immediately erupt in anger. She simply said in a cold voice, "Did you come back to cause trouble?"

"I don't think you can blame her; she has eyes of her own."

Jonathan glared at Rheindorf: "If you want, I can give you two. Answer my question, Istaru."

"I was just playing the third wheel at Yuanxia Palace, I didn't have time to set you up."

"Do you only do meaningless things every time you go out?"

"Of course not, I bought this this time."

Ishtar bought a Liyue night lantern.

"You're wasting money again."

"I asked my daughter to buy it for me."

The scene shifts, and Zibai is seen buying a night lantern from Granny Ashan: "To pay, please ask Mr. Zhongli."

Zi Bai on the moon twitched her lips at the sight. She would never put the bill on Zhong Li's head when she bought things; that would be slander.

The scene then switches back to Zhong Li, and you might think he's there to pay the bill, but you'd be sorely mistaken.

"Hanging on the tent in the Hall of Rebirth."

"Achoo!"

Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, sneezed loudly.

The scene then returns to Ishtar: "If you'd like, you can ask her to help you buy things for Liyue in the future."

Zibai really wanted to clarify that she was not Istaru's daughter, and they had no blood relation whatsoever.

Of course, whether her explanation was useful is hard to say.

The camera then focused on Rhein-Dörg: "But is it really okay to keep spending your daughter's money like this?"

"At worst, we can just ask the former finance department to reimburse her."

"The finances of the past? You mean the God of Precious Metals?"

Zhongli: "Hang it on the tent in the Hall of Rebirth."

Hu Tao: "What do you mean I have to reimburse myself? And I even have to pay taxes?"

Jonawa steered the conversation back on track: "So, what are you going to do with this?"

"I heard that if you write your wish on it and release it, it might come true."

The scene showed the people of Liyue releasing lanterns together. Zibai smiled when she saw this, for this scene of thousands of lights was exactly what she wanted to see.

Upon hearing Ishtar's words, a big question mark appeared above Jonawa's head: "Have you ever considered that we are the ones who grant wishes?"

"Indeed, people on earth write their wishes on lanterns and release them into the sky because there are gods in heaven. So who are you hoping to achieve by releasing yours here? Will the Nibelungs fly back to grant your wish?"

"So, no matter how you look at it, you're wasting money."

"What's wrong with spending a little money? Didn't you spend money on gacha pulls too?"

"That's because... no, I didn't tell you I did a gacha pull, how did you know? So, it really was you setting this up, wasn't it?"

Jonathan stared intently at Istaru.

"Hehe!"

Istaru struck a playful pose, and the mini-theater abruptly ended.

It can only be said that the four leaders in the small theater are all playing abstract games, and even Appepp is a bit out of the loop.

"If you want your wish to be granted, go find Phanes! Why go to the Dragon King Nibelungen!"

It can only be said that Appepp does know how to focus on the key points.

Welcome back, let's continue.

The curtain of sky was drawn back, and we returned to the Star Creature Capture Station.

"Margot, how is it?"

"Waaah..."

The Moon Spirit King emitted a distant, eerie sound.

"Hmm? You mean Uji left? Then we'll... wait a minute, a guest is coming."

"It's the Traveler and Paimon, what's wrong with you?"

"Columbia, it really is you! We've finally found you after running so far!"

"Did my sudden visit disturb you?"

Columbia then activated the lunar torque to put them on the ground, so they no longer had to float.

"Of course not, I'm very happy to see you all, it's a pleasant surprise."

"I told you, it was a surprise!"

"But how did you get to the moon? I'm curious too."

"That's a long story."

The traveler briefly recounted what had happened during this process to Columbia.

"Hehe, it must be because of the moon's gravity. Your journey has been captured by the moon."

"It's all because the black egg is too deceptive; even a smart guide like me stumbled."

"Black...Egg? Is that your name?"

"Yes, it's Ningning!"

"It's Ningning Black Egg!"

"Alright, Paimon, please don't blame him, because I also bear some responsibility."

"I was just kidding, but why do you say that? What exactly happened between you two?"

"Let me think... Well, it was after I got back to the moon that I had an idea."

Let's tidy this place up and make it clean and tidy so we can invite our friends over.

"Wow, it's a moon party."

"So I began to use my power to penetrate the moon, to examine every corner, to make sure it was safe here."

Soon, I discovered some things I couldn't understand. Ningning was one of them.

I still haven't figured out what she and her ethnic group are.

"Black Egg? Isn't he just a Moon Spirit? He's just a bit dark-skinned... no, much darker, but what's the big deal?"

"Well, I should say that the origins that gave them birth are different. Those we saw in Teyvat were born from my lunar torque."

The power flowing through the body of the Moon Spirit here comes from an earlier moon.

Besides that, Ningning's body also harbors something... unrelated to the moon.

"It has nothing to do with the moon, no wonder you said she's not a moon spirit."

"Perhaps this is why their group has developed unique behaviors."

"What behavior?"

"I found Ningning in an underground forest. She was very weak and unconscious at the time. I tried to treat her with lunar torque, but the effect was not obvious."

After I brought her to the surface, I noticed she began unconsciously devouring her own kind before gradually regaining consciousness.

Many of those watching the celestial spectacle found it hard to believe that Columbia had said these words so calmly.

"Did I hear that right? What did she just say? Devouring her own kind? This, this kind of behavior..."

"Senior Leila, what do you think?"

"We cannot impose human perspectives on other races."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"When we talk about devouring our own kind, we immediately think of brutal killings, but in reality, it may not be like that at all."

Let's keep watching and see what happens after we finish.
