Mu Qingge also received an invitation from Ningguang. After a discussion with Ningguang at the Jade Chamber, she agreed to go and guard the Chasm.
Among the Liyue Qixing, no one was more suitable than her, holding military power.
Moreover, this matter concerned Malice, so even if Ningguang didn't mention it, she would still go.
She had once said before Ruola's corpse that she would personally kill it and avenge Ruola!
Leading an army to the Chasm was no small matter, nor could it be accomplished overnight.
It was a good time to go home and see her parents and sister again during this period.
This was not the curtain call she had arranged, but merely a prelude.
What she wanted was something grand and awe-inspiring.
As part of the plan, this trip to the Chasm would last for quite some time, and this persona didn't have much time left anyway.
A few days later.
The Millelith had assembled, and all supplies were ready.
Before their departure, her family came to see her.
"Qingge, this is what your mother stayed up all night making yesterday. Take it to eat on the way."
Father Mu held a package, filled with Mu Qingge's favorite foods.
Mu Qingge silently accepted it. Seeing only her father and sister, and not her mother, she couldn't help but ask:
"Where's Mom?"
Qingxu replied, "Mom stayed up all night yesterday. She was supposed to come with us today, but she couldn't stay awake this morning and fell asleep, so we didn't wake her."
Mu Qingge approvingly patted her sister's head.
"Child, be extra careful over there, don't be reckless, okay...?"
Father Mu gave countless admonitions. His eldest daughter had always been very mature and understood much more than he did, but she was also the one he worried about the most.
To outsiders, the Kaiyang Star, who seemed infinitely glorious, was just a little girl who had just turned eighteen.
She was still their child!
"Don't worry, Dad, you two take good care of yourselves at home, and you, Qingxu, be sensible and don't make Mom and Dad worry."
"Sis, I told you I'm not a child anymore, you don't need to worry about us, but you, you must take good care of yourself!"
Mu Qingge nodded, then resolutely departed.
Having just said goodbye to her family, Mu Qingge immediately ran into an acquaintance.
Looking at the figure who brought a sense of peace just by standing there, Mu Qingge hurried over to greet him.
"Rex Lapis!"
With no one else around, this address was more appropriate.
Zhongli still maintained his composed expression:
"This journey may be perilous. Remember, do not act impulsively when encountering difficulties. Also, keep the Xuanji Cover with you at all times."
"I will heed Rex Lapis's teachings!"
After saying this, Zhongli left. Qingge watched his retreating figure for a long while before turning to leave.

Liyue.
Lumine and Paimon, after several twists and turns, finally waited for the Crux fleet.
Knowing the fleet's current docking point, the two immediately set off.
"We can finally go to Inazuma! I heard that it's currently in lockdown, I wonder what it will be like!"
Paimon seemed very excited. She had slowly come to terms with Ruola's death during this time. After all, the deceased are gone, and the living still have to strive to live.
At the same time.
The player world also welcomed a version update.
Although it was just the prologue, the players' enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.
Despite the complaints and criticisms, the story of Genshin Impact was indeed very good, and it was of high quality compared to others.
Even though Genshin Impact fed players a mouthful of knives, player stickiness did not decrease at all; instead, it increased significantly.
Like the majority of players, Guojia had been waiting for the Kaiyang Star, one of the Liyue Qixing, to enter the gacha banner.
But after waiting and waiting, there was no news at all.
This puzzled the players. She was clearly the first character they met in Liyue, and her popularity was at an all-time high, so why wasn't she in the gacha banner yet?
If Inazuma came out, the hype would definitely die down!
Completely incomprehensible operation!
Even if they couldn't understand it, the game still had to be played.
With anticipation for the story, Guojia started a live stream and did quests with netizens.
"After waiting so long, it's finally here!"

Lumine and Paimon ran for a long time, flying and swimming, and finally boarded the Alcor.
After explaining their intentions, Lumine learned that they were going to hold a martial arts tournament, and the final prize of the tournament was an ownerless Vision.
And the vision was provided by Lumine's new friend, Kaedehara Kazuha.
The naive Paimon asked without thinking:
"A vision, why would it be ownerless?"
"Paimon!"
Lumine immediately pulled Paimon's small cape, but Kazuha gestured that it was fine. He said:
"This is nothing that cannot be said. This vision actually belonged to a good friend of mine. He... has passed away."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's fine, Paimon. I told you, there's nothing that cannot be said."
Although Kazuha said so, Paimon still felt a little guilty.
Lumine was also invited to participate in the martial arts tournament. She could control elemental power without a vision, so if she won, the prize would be a ticket to Inazuma!
The competition went smoothly, and Lumine steadily made her way into the finals.
However, something unexpected happened in the finals: the other participant didn't show up, and the vision was also stolen.
And all of this was overheard by Kazuha.
Finally, led by Kazuha, they found the thief and retrieved the vision.
Kazuha also told the story of this vision.
"He was once my dear friend. That day he asked me: 'Have you ever heard of the Musou no Hitotachi?'"
"I said, 'Of course. That strike can only be seen when Divine Judgment descends. That strike is the ultimate of the Raiden Shogun's martial arts, the strongest symbol.'"
"But he said, 'That strike may not be unattainable.'"
"'There will always be those who dare to brave the lightning's glow.'"
"..."
Lumine and Paimon quietly listened to Kazuha's narration, and from it, they also felt the majesty of Inazuma's Archon.
This trip to Inazuma might not be too smooth.
"In his final moments, what kind of expression was on his face?"
"There was no time to guess. I just stepped forward, snatched that fading vision, and then fled."
"I only knew that I couldn't let his fervent wish be carved into a cold statue!"

Player World.
: "Inazuma, huh? I always feel that the Archon of Inazuma might not be easy to get along with, at least not as much as Venti and Zhongli."
: "Kazuha is also an anemo user. Has anyone noticed that the three Anemo boys who have come out so far don't seem to be very tall?"
: "A fading vision, who do you think I thought of?"
: "Shut up, you old sixth floor!"
: "Inazuma still has to wait, this update is too slow!"
---
The three returned to the martial arts tournament venue. After dealing with the series of events that occurred, Lumine and Paimon were informed that the fleet would depart for Inazuma soon.
After being told they would be notified then, Lumine and Paimon returned to Liyue.
It seemed that their trip to Inazuma would have to wait a little longer.
