Seeing the projection Luya created through the system before her eyes, Ningguang felt a strange sense of familiarity rise within her.
Her thoughts drifted back to several years ago—when she, seeking a way to pass her leisure time, had ingeniously crafted a unique board game.
That game was known as "Liyue Millennium."
The board cleverly replicated the layout of Liyue Harbor's streets and terrain in accurate proportion. Everything was included—from bustling marketplaces, elegant teahouses, and busy shopfronts to luxurious hotels and rows of miscellaneous stores—all vividly brought to life.
The game also featured various types of dice: six‑sided, ten‑sided, twelve‑sided, and more. Players rolled the dice to determine how far their pieces moved, triggering a variety of special events depending on where they landed.
The victor was determined by the total number of tokens a player held at the end of the game.
In truth, it was essentially the Liyue Harbor map version of Monopoly.
Notably, the rules of the game were never fixed—they shifted depending on Ningguang's mood. Whenever she played against others, the rules followed whatever the newest version in her hands happened to be.
If she happened to be in an exceptionally good mood, she would even grab pen and paper to update the rule set on the spot.
Simply put, she played however she liked.
Up to this moment, not a single person had ever defeated Ningguang in Liyue Millennium. Not even once.
Not only that, the current rules had gone through thirty‑two revisions and were now on the sixth sub‑version.
The version sold to the public was the eighth edition: what Ningguang considered the most accessible and easiest to understand.
Even so, to ordinary players, the rules remained intricate and difficult to grasp. Yet despite this, customers still lined up to buy it, largely because the game pieces were exquisitely crafted. Many people purchased the set purely for the sake of collecting the pieces, rather than out of genuine interest in playing.
...
Now, seeing Luya lightly tap the interface and instantly display the entire 3D map of Liyue before her—Ningguang felt a sudden, indescribable shock.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the lifelike, meticulously detailed map as though she had stepped into an entirely new world.
Compared to this map, the Liyue Millennium board she had once poured her heart into creating… seemed utterly overshadowed.
What had once been her pride now felt small and childish—like a toy in a child's hands.
This 3D map of Liyue was simply perfection.
It included every major location and landmark, even the narrowest alleyways and hidden corners, all flawlessly captured. Every street, mountain peak, and body of water was depicted with such precision that one could almost feel their texture.
Ningguang couldn't help imagining... if a Monopoly‑style game were played using a map this detailed, what kind of experience would it be?
Players would gain a far deeper understanding of Liyue's landscape, sensing the thousand years of change and development this ancient land had undergone.
This... was the true "Liyue Millennium."
Ningguang shifted her gaze from the map back to Luya.
Luya's abilities dispelled all her lingering doubts.
In that moment, she finally understood why Rex Lapis Morax had entrusted Liyue to a human like Luya.
Ningguang sensed a unique aura within him. Luya was young, yet his eyes seemed as if they had already seen through the world.
In the instant their gazes met, Ningguang felt a strong yet gentle force emanate from him.
This power did not come from strength or authority, but from a deep inner conviction and sense of purpose.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Morax believed Luya could lead Liyue toward prosperity.
Ningguang recalled her earlier moment of doubt when Morax handed Liyue over to Luya. Now, she realized the god's judgment was indeed extraordinary.
As her thoughts settled, the last trace of worry in Ningguang's heart gradually dissolved.
Even though she knew that Liyue's future would face many challenges, with someone like Luya leading them, they would surely overcome all obstacles and welcome a brighter tomorrow.
The people, too, would live better lives.
...
"I'm planning to redesign every region of Liyue."
As Luya spoke, he traced his finger across the Liyue map as though outlining a grand blueprint.
Having witnessed everything Luya had accomplished, Keqing had already developed immense admiration for his abilities.
Thus, upon hearing his words, Keqing's eyes lit up instantly. Her gaze was firm and full of passion, as though she could already see the renewed Liyue of the future.
In truth, Keqing herself had once harbored similar ideas, but due to many limitations, she had never been able to put them into action. Whether manpower, resources, or funding—each posed huge obstacles that left her powerless.
Albeit now, seeing Luya's unwavering resolve gave her great confidence and encouragement.
She knew that if Liyue were truly rebuilt as Luya envisioned, it would bring unprecedented transformation and growth.
Just as Luya said, vast, untouched lands across Liyue were waiting to be developed. With Luya's abilities, many regions could be reshaped and greatly improved.
At this thought, Keqing's heart leapt with excitement. She had already begun eagerly imagining what a revitalized Liyue would look like.
