Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"Fake? Qixing has already issued a notice, how could it be fake?"

"I heard that a martial arts master received teachings from an immortal and wants to challenge the original god."

………………

It has to be said that challenging the original gods is the finishing touch of Liyue's top management in promoting the spread of martial arts. Propaganda may be useful, but even if it is exaggerated and there is a seven-star platform, it is difficult to promote martial arts all at once without actual performance. After all, the martial artists have been in a slump for thousands of years, and it is not something that can be reversed in a short time.

At times like this, real cases are necessary to break the perception that warriors cannot defeat the original gods and to imprint the power of martial arts into people's hearts in one fell swoop.

The martial arts master is a real one, serving as the head coach of Liyue's Thousand Rocks Army. While not a Genshin Impact, he possesses exceptional martial arts skills, having trained many formidable warriors. The immortals chose him for his contributions to Liyue and his own strength, personally coached by Xiao, with the other immortals serving as support. Within just a few days, he had achieved impressive cultivation, comparable to that of an average Genshin Impact warrior.

They were about the same in strength, and with his superb martial arts, the Thousand Rocks Army's chief instructor naturally defeated the chosen nameless original god easily. Although there were many problems during this period, such as the original god he challenged was too ordinary, and there was help from immortals, etc., the final result was that the warrior defeated the original god.

In the past, no matter how hard warriors tried, or how much they spent their entire lives becoming martial arts masters, they could not match the divine eye of a lucky guy. The original gods did not have to do anything to surpass the warriors. This kind of injustice was enough, but what made the warriors even more desperate was that there was no way forward, and they did not even have the chance to resist injustice.

Therefore, more and more warriors gave up, because no matter how hard they tried, they could not beat others. Even those warriors who had not given up and were still working hard were just working hard out of habit. They just didn't want to give up, but didn't know how to break the darkness ahead.

But now the warriors have won, they have defeated the original gods. The original gods are not invincible. For the first time, a fire has ignited in the hearts of the warriors. As long as there is hope and possibility, they can persist in the painful training until they see a bright future.

Of course, it is impossible for Liyue to directly pass on the Dharmakaya-level skills given by Li Xuan. Even the external scenes and training methods that the Liyue immortals have comprehended will not be circulated to the outside world. What is announced to the public is the basic part of foundation building and qi accumulation. After the qi accumulation is completed, whether you join the Qianyan Army or the Warrior Association established by the Seven Stars, you can obtain the subsequent skills.

After all, the previous foundation-building content is easy to say, it's just a slow process. When it comes to practicing the acupoints, the most basic thing is to learn to recognize the meridians, as well as various related knowledge and terminology.

Although the base is large, these secret manuals will be spread sooner or later, but the martial arts classics passed down by Li Xuan have certain requirements on the world view of the learners. Even if the people of Liyue who are very similar want to learn, it will take some time, not to mention people outside Liyue. They will not be able to learn even if they get it, and if they learn it, their own ideology and civilization will have been deviated long ago.

Such a big move by Liyue naturally could not be concealed from other countries, but it would take some time for it to spread to the point where everyone knew about it, especially Mondstadt, whose road was blocked by the Wind Dragon. They knew nothing about the changes in Liyue, and the matter of the Wind Dragon had already attracted all their attention.

After Li Xuan's sermon, he left Liyue and came to Mondstadt. This was the time when Ying was tricked by Barbatos, a guy pretending to be stupid, into stealing the Sky Harp.

"Why not add me in? It seems very interesting." When Barbatos and the Traveler were plotting how to enter the cathedral to steal the Sky Harp, Li Xuan's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" Ying immediately became alert. You know, what they were discussing was stealing Mondstadt's sacred object, the Sky Harp. If it got leaked out, it would be all over.

"Me? I'm just a martial artist. I just heard that you guys seemed to be discussing something very interesting, so I decided to join you."

"I don't know where you're from. I've been in Mondstadt for so long and I've never seen you before." Barbatos was secretly shocked. Anyone who actually believed his claim of lack of strength must be mentally ill. Even if his strength wasn't comparable to Morax's, it wasn't much weaker either. Especially since he was the God of Wind, and was extremely skilled in perception, he hadn't even noticed how Li Xuan had gotten behind them.

Chapter 31: Li Xuan and Ying both have a bright future

"I'm a traveler from another world. I came to Teyvat at the invitation of a friend. I was in Liyue before and just arrived in Mondstadt."

"Huh? You are also a traveler from another world, and Ying is also from another world." Paimeng was very surprised when he heard what Li Xuan said. How could there be another visitor from another world?

"Are you and Ying from the same world?"

"Probably not. Although I have lost a lot of memories, I don't seem to have any impression of him." Perhaps because they are both travelers from another world, Ying is no longer so wary of Li Xuan, but she is still worried about letting Li Xuan join in on such an important matter.

Ying and Paimon only noticed Li Xuan's identity as a traveler from another world, while Barbatos noticed that Li Xuan had come to Teyvat by invitation. Who was that person? Could Li Xuan have returned? Wasn't justice a factor in this?

"It seems that you are still wary of me. I'll leave first. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret." Li Xuan was not discouraged when he saw that he could not join in the plot now. He planned to go to other places to have a look.

"After you fail, come find me at the Goethe Hotel! Otherwise, you will fail again."

"We won't fail! Goethe Hotel? Are you that rich?" Paimon was envious. She and the traveler had been in Mond for a few days. They went to the Adventure Guild to take on missions every day. This was only enough money to stay in an ordinary hotel. She had only heard of the most famous Goethe Hotel in Mond but had never stayed there.

"My friend is the person in Teyvat who least needs to worry about money. How could I be short of money?"

Looking at Li Xuan's figure walking away, Barbatos fell into deep thought. Could it be that Li Xuan's friend was the old man, the person who didn't need to worry about money?

Li Xuan turned around and left without caring what Ying and Barbatos would think. It was good to participate in the plot, but it would also be nice to wander around Mondstadt, such as listening to Barbara's concert.

While Ying and Barbatos were thinking about stealing the Sky Harp, Li Xuan was listening to Barbara's concert and cheering for her, Barbara, go!

When Ying and Barbatos were wanted, Li Xuan was chatting with Eula in the suburbs.

While Ying and Barbatos were trying to persuade Master Diluk, Li Xuanzheng asked Amber to be their tour guide to visit various attractions in Mondstadt.

When Ying and Barbatos and their group met up with Captain Qin, Li Xuan was discussing astrology and palmistry with Mona.

While Ying and Barbatos were preparing to use the Sky Harp to awaken Tevarin, Li Xuan was discussing the truth behind the Eye of God with Lisa in the library.

………………

In short, while Ying, Barbatos and others were working hard, Li Xuan was not idle either. He and Ying obviously had a bright future.

In short, after another failure, Ying finally remembered what Li Xuan had said before and planned to go to the Goethe Hotel to find him.

After a few days, Li Xuan had become very famous in Mond. He was seen chatting happily with different girls every day. He was obviously a playboy, and all he had his eyes on were the most beautiful flowers in Mond.

As soon as Yingyi said he was looking for Li Xuan, everyone in the hotel knew who he was and quickly told him where Li Xuan was going. Looking at the traveler's back as he left, they could only sigh at how powerful Li Xuan was, and that even the traveler was related to him.

"Finally found you." The traveler followed the hotel staff's instructions and searched several places, including the cathedral where Barbara was, Mona's divination booth, and the place where Amber was patrolling. Finally, he found Li Xuan who was chatting enthusiastically with Lisa in the library and pulled him away.

"Hey, Ying, what do you want from me? Can you please let me go first? I can walk on my own."

"Didn't you already know? The operation failed, and the Wind Demon Dragon escaped again." While it might seem to outsiders that she and Li Xuan were flirting, it was simply because Ying felt unbalanced. She was out in the open, risking her life to purify the Wind Demon Dragon, while Li Xuan was enjoying the good life in Mondstadt, building a harem. Previously, she had toiled on missions and earned money, while Li Xuan's friends were wealthy and never short of money.

They were all visitors from another world, so why was there such a huge gap? After comparing themselves, Ying felt that she was really too miserable. No, she had to drag Li Xuan to work with her, so that she could feel more balanced.

"So, Mond needs your help now. You didn't want to join before, but now is the time."

"So, before was before, and now is now. Lisa and I were having a good chat, and you suddenly pulled me away. What's the big deal? I didn't even say goodbye." After playing in Mondstadt for a few days, Li Xuan no longer had the mood to follow the storyline. It was not as fun as going fish frying with Klee.

"If you don't want to go, then I won't go either. Don't you think about whose efforts have allowed you to live peacefully in Mondstadt these days? I wonder what you'll do if the Wind Dragon comes again."

"Then just kill them directly, don't you think, Barbatos?" Li Xuan turned around and said to Barbatos and his group who were walking over.

"Not really, not really. Tevarin didn't do that on purpose. He was controlled by the Cult of the Abyss. We just need to find a way to purify him." Barbatos didn't dare to respond. He couldn't see through Li Xuan. If he really killed Tevarin, where would he go to seek justice?

Chapter 32: Taking on the Mission

"That's right. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we should focus on purification. Suppression can only be the last resort." Captain Qin obviously did not agree with Li Xuan's suggestion.

It is true that Tevarin has caused a lot of trouble to Mond recently, but this cannot erase Tevarin's past contributions to Mond as one of the Guardians of the Four Winds. Moreover, Tevarin's attack was also due to the conspiracy of the Abyss Order. Unless Tevarin really threatens the safety of Mond, then before that, as the acting leader of the Knights Templar, the first thing she must do is to rescue Tevarin.

"How did you fail this time? Wasn't Barbatos there? That would have allowed Tevarin to escape." Li Xuan knew what was going on. He just hated Barbatos, this lazy guy. With Barbatos's strength, if he really wanted to save Tevarin, he would have succeeded long ago. There was no need for so much trouble. He had the Traveler completely fooled.

"That's right, Barbatos, aren't you the God of Wind? Why do you need help?" Paimon ran around and finally discovered the key to the problem. Wasn't Tevarin a follower of Barbatos? Then Barbatos must be more powerful. How could he let Tevarin escape?

"As one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, I can only gain divine power by fulfilling my priestly duties. However, I haven't been back for a thousand years, so I am very weak now. I am probably the weakest among the seven gods." Barbatos still made this excuse in front of Li Xuan. He was really thick-skinned. Perhaps only the naive traveler and Paimon would believe this. As for other people, even if they didn't believe it, they would not stand up to oppose it. After all, Barbatos was still the god they believed in.

Barbatos is the weakest of the Seven Gods. This is really a joke. Where do you put the little grass god who was only born five hundred years ago? Your father has lived for thousands of years. Can't he be weaker than a child?

Can't accumulate strength without fulfilling his duties? But before becoming one of the Seven Consuls, Barbatos was also a powerful demon god, easily blowing away the ice and snow that had accumulated in Mondstadt for a thousand years.

And even if what Barbatos said in the end was true, that he was the weakest among the seven gods, he was only compared to the other seven gods. How could he not be able to defeat even the demon's followers?

"We have never forgotten Lord Barbatos's ideal of establishing a free federation with no one claiming to be a king." Well, there was a possibility that Jean would really believe Barbatos's nonsense.

"Just assume that what you said is true. So what are you going to do now? The Sky Harp is broken. Is there any other way? Lord Wind God." Li Xuan did not continue to argue and just mentioned it.

"The Traveler possesses a special power. He previously purified the evil within the crystal, so he can also purify the poisonous blood within Tevarin. We now need to find a way to eliminate the storm at the Wind Dragon Ruins where Tevarin currently resides, and then find an opportunity for the Traveler to purify it."

"That's too dangerous. The Wind Dragon is so violent. It's too dangerous to let the traveler go." Paimon felt that this plan was too dangerous.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we have everyone's help, there is still a chance."

"Ying, have you forgotten about me? Why did you pull me over and act so fearless?" It was a huge joke that the God of Wind was blocked by the wind. Li Xuan understood that Barbatos wanted to show weakness to the enemy. He was just short of saying, "I am weak, don't come to me." In this storm that was destined to sweep across the entire continent of Teyvat, Barbatos had already taken the lead in expressing his stance. He and Mond only wanted to remain neutral and protect themselves.

Unfortunately, Li Xuan and the chat group, whose power exceeded the upper limit of the continent of Teyvat, ended up smashing the chessboard. This was beyond Barbatos's expectations. He pretended to be weak and accompanied the Traveler for so long, but Liyue said to him, sorry, Barbatos, the version has changed.

The power of warriors will tell Barbatos what it means to have a new god for each version. I'm sorry, Tianli, Seven Gods, and Abyss, there is no place for you in the new era.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to participate? And what else can you do?"

"The solution is very simple. Go into the ruins of the wind dragon and purify it." Li Xuan was too lazy to act out the plot with Barbatos.

"It's not as easy as you say. Is the Wind Demon Dragon so easy to deal with?" Paimeng felt that Li Xuan was bragging. She had seen the strength of the Wind Demon Dragon with her own eyes.

"It's that easy when you have the strength. The Wind Dragon may seem powerful to you, but to me, it's just that powerful. In fact, if the Traveler hadn't had her strength sealed, she could easily deal with Tevarin."

"The Honor Knight is so powerful." Captain Qin couldn't believe it. In her opinion, Ying's strength was just good.

"Well, although some of my memories are not very clear, I remember that I used to be very strong, much stronger than Twarin." In Ying's memory, she and her brother had been to many worlds, so their combat ability was not weak.

"Yes, Ying came to this world five hundred years ago. She is much older than you."

"I have been sealed for more than five hundred years, so I am still very young." Age is a taboo for women, and even the yellow-haired old aunt Ying is no exception.

"Yes, yes, Ying is a beautiful girl who is forever young. I can prove it."

"Then Mr. Li, can you help us purify Tevarin? Mond will definitely be grateful." Qin, the acting leader, is still very sensible and has no intention of getting something for nothing.

"Look, look, Ying, this is the attitude you should have when asking someone to do something. I will take care of Tevarin's matter. For Captain Qin's sake, I will provide you with another piece of free information. The Abyss Cult is not very peaceful and seems to be planning something behind the scenes. You should pay more attention." Li Xuan would still agree to Qin's request. After all, they are two sisters.

Chapter 33: Monsters Attack the City, the Wind God Appears?

"Don't you date a different beauty every day? How do you know the news about the Abyss Cult?" From what Ying learned today, Li Xuan was basically running around among several beautiful women in Mond, so how could he have time to find out the movements of the Abyss Cult.

"If you don't believe it, forget it. You can ask Amber and Eula for the specific information." Li Xuan wanted to build a closer relationship with the women in Mond, so naturally he had to prescribe the right medicine, just like talking about astrology with Mona. With Amber, he naturally had to talk about archery and the safety of Mond. As for Eula, Li Xuan also took the actions of the Abyss Cult as an opportunity to let Eula investigate the relevant information. When the Fatui led the monsters to attack the city, the civilians of Mond would naturally see her performance and contribution.

………………

Since the matter concerned the Cult of the Abyss, Captain Qin did not dare to be careless, but the time left for her was too short. By the time she received the report from Amber and Eula who had returned from the city reconnaissance that a large number of monsters had gathered, it was too late to do anything to reduce the number of monsters.

The situation in Mond is now very serious. The monster siege is no joke, and the Abyss Cult is looming behind the scenes. Judging from the number of monsters reported by Amber and Eula, now that the Grand Master has taken away 90% of the elite Knights of Favonius, it will be difficult to hold the city with only the remaining young knights and adventurers from Mond's folk Adventurer's Association.

A small number of monsters, whether they are hillbillies or slimes, can be easily wiped out by the Knights, but once the monsters gather together to form a large army, the huge number is enough to crush everything.

The news of the monster attack quickly spread throughout the city. Naturally, chaos broke out in Mondstadt, and the residents fled in all directions, falling into chaos.

Jean led the remaining 10% of the Knights of Favonius and the newly recruited soldiers to the city gates. However, the sheer number of new recruits made one doubt their fighting ability. After all, their fearful eyes spoke volumes. Their performance was even worse than that of ordinary adventurers.

After all, adventurers travel extensively, and unlike these city-dwelling guards, they frequently encounter monsters. Their mental fortitude and combat experience are far superior.

Of course, at the beginning, Mond's defense was very effective. After all, Mond was surrounded by water and had only one bridge for entry and exit. From a high vantage point, round after round of arrows caused heavy casualties to the monsters in the front row. Elite knights and experienced adventurers cooperated with each other to block the city gates. The powerful original gods played their best on the battlefield, destroying many monsters with a single move.

But even the physical strength of the original gods is limited, and the war supplies in Mondstadt are not endless. After all, under the system of the Seven Gods, the continent of Teyvat has been peaceful for a long time, and Mondstadt does not need to stockpile a large amount of strategic supplies. The original gods who are slowly rotating in batches to rest also feel that the weapons in their hands are getting heavier and heavier, and the rain of arrows above their heads is becoming sparser and sparser. The defense line is retreating step by step.

Now, thanks to the terrain and the suppression of the original gods, Mondstadt's casualties are not heavy, and they can retreat even if they are injured. If the defense line is lost, the Knights of Favonius and the adventurers will have to fight the monsters in hand-to-hand combat, and a large number of monsters will enter the city and kill people wantonly, so everyone can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Qin used another elemental combat skill to kill dozens of monsters around her, and took time to observe the situation on the battlefield. After such a long battle, only one-third of the monster army had disappeared. According to her estimation of the battlefield situation, if at most half of the monsters were eliminated, the defense line would be lost and the monsters would attack Mondstadt.

In fact, when everything was hopeless, Jean had one last trick up her sleeve, which was to destroy the bridge, so that the army of monsters would be blocked by the lake and unable to attack Mondstadt.

But this move was a last resort. After all, if the bridge was blown up, Mondstadt would become an isolated city, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city would be trapped inside, waiting for rescue from the outside world. But if the defense line really couldn't hold, Jean would have no choice but to order the bridge to be blown up.

As time goes by, the situation becomes worse and worse, but there is no turning point. It seems that Mond has no choice but to blow up the bridge.

Jean has decided to take responsibility and, as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, has ordered the bombing of Mond's only entrance and exit. The defense line is on the verge of collapse.

But at this time, a huge dragon flew over, and a strong gust of wind blew, blowing many monsters on the bridge into the lake.

"Ah, the dragon is here again. Is it God's will to destroy Mond today?"

Many recruits with poor mental qualities finally couldn't bear the pressure, dropped their weapons and gave up resistance. The other knights and adventurers were also shaken, and loopholes immediately appeared in the defense line. Mond's side gave this opportunity, and the monsters would not let it go. After all, they had no brains, and when they were gathered together, their minds were full of killing, so they didn't care about anything else.

Seeing that Mond was about to fall, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Wind Dragon did not attack Mond. Instead, it exhaled large mouthfuls of dragon breath and destroyed a large number of monsters. The hurricane raised by its broad wings also swept countless monsters to a height of more than 100 meters, and then dropped them to death, helping to maintain the defense line.

"How is it possible? The Wind Demon Dragon is actually helping us?"

"Look, there's a person standing on the Wind Demon Dragon."

"Really? Could it be that he subdued the rebellious dragon and came to help us?"

"I see. He must be Lord Wind God. I heard that the magic dragon was once Lord Wind God's follower. Lord Wind God must have seen Mondstadt in danger, subdued the rebellious magic dragon, and is now here to help us."

"Yes, that must be Lord Wind God. Lord Wind God is here to help us!"

"Lord Wind God has returned to help us!"

Chapter 34: Exposing Barbatos

The one who appeared here riding on Tevarin at this time was naturally Li Xuan. After entering the wind dragon ruins, he defeated Tevarin, purified the evil power in it and awakened Tevarin's mind. Then he made an agreement with Tevarin that Tevarin was willing to follow him to the box garden world to see the wider sky.

Barbatos played a major role in this. After all, Barbatos' actions really made it sad. Barbatos' wind also contained the power of purification, which once helped Xiao suppress the backlash of the demon's resentment and prevented him from falling into madness. Even if Barbatos' power could not eradicate the poisonous blood in Tevarin's body, it could greatly alleviate it, but he did nothing.

Ordinary people don’t know Li Xuan, but others do. When they see Li Xuan appear riding the Wind Demon Dragon, their reactions vary.

"Ah, it's Brother Li Xuan. I didn't expect that he is the God of Wind. From now on, I can fry fish to my heart's content." Little Kelli couldn't help cheering. In the past few days, Li Xuan had taken Kelli to fry fish many times. After all, who can resist the joy of frying fish? No one!

"Li Xuan is Lord Wind God?" Barbara, who was treating the wounded, was also confused. She didn't expect that the fan who had been chatting with her happily in recent days was actually Lord Wind God.

"No way? I don't think so!" This was Eula's reaction. She knew Li Xuan was a playboy, not just her, but even her best friend Amber. Is this what the Wind God is like? Indeed, the Wind God is not like this. The real Wind God is a poor drunkard with a heavy drink.

.....................

Naturally, the voices of these discussions could not escape Li Xuan's ears. He was amused. In order to make things difficult for Barbatos, Li Xuan, who had originally not planned to take action, was also ready to put on a show.

"Resurrection Monsoon." A breeze blew across the entire Mondstadt. The previously injured knights and adventurers found that their injuries recovered quickly, and the physical strength of the members defending in front of the city gate was also constantly recovering. For the monsters, although this breeze was weak, it was irresistible, causing them to retreat continuously and eventually gather together.
