Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

Immediately afterwards! Accompanied by this knocking sound, in the "heavens" of Teyvat, a huge golden colossus phantom slowly cast its gaze upon this planet wrapped in "sugar coating".

And the object of His gaze was the star that had come into contact with the seven-star statue!

Looking at that towering giant statue, Xing's lips inexplicably curled into a smile.

"It's been a long time, Cripper."

"Then what happens next..."

The baseball bat in his hand instantly turned into white light and disappeared, replaced by a solemn lance ignited by "blazing fire"!

The destiny of [Preservation] has arrived in this world!

Above the sky, the "three shadows," which had a complete view of that epic and magnificent figure, were still in a state of shock for a long time.

It wasn't a shock stemming from "fear" or "horror," but rather a... inexplicable, heartfelt "reverence."

After an unknown amount of time, a sound broke the silence on the tranquil Sky Island.

The one who spoke was Ishtar, the [Ruler of Time], who was the first to react.

At this moment, she was no longer the lazy, listless woman she had been before. Instead, she frowned, and her cherry lips trembled slightly as she spoke:

"The power of the [Sky]...has increased?"

Chapter Sixty: The Abilities Best Suited for Development

Clearly, although it was just a phantom, it approved of the world's practices and "built walls" for life, which is in line with the spirit of "preservation" and therefore deserves praise.

Those who cherish the spirit of "protection" heard a "bell tolling" in their ears today. This was not a hallucination, but an affirmation of their courage to "preserve".

Of course, it wasn't a tangible reward, but it might strengthen their resolve.

Perhaps... the flames ignited at the tip of the spear could offer an alternative way out for this world?

……

Liyue, Tigerfish Rock

"Mr. Zhongli? Mr. Zhongli?"

The waiter serving tea looked at the "old-fashioned young man" sitting upright on the bench, but whose eyes were inexplicably looking out and lost in thought. He gently reached out and waved his hand in front of the man's eyes, trying to wake him up.

"Um……"

The waiter's call did indeed have an effect. The young man named "Zhongli," who had been lost in thought, finally came back to his senses and turned to look at the waiter who was holding a teapot and had a sheepish smile on his face.

Under his gaze, he nodded slightly.

"Good work."

"Alright! I'll fill it up for you right away!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately poured the scalding hot tea into the teacup in front of Zhongli's table, filling it to eight-tenths full—too much would be disrespectful to the customer, and too little would be disrespectful.

After the tea was served, the waiter left, leaving only the storyteller on the stage, who spoke eloquently and fluently.

Meanwhile, a guest who had already finished his tea left an IOU under his teacup and then disappeared into the crowd.

Unbeknownst to them, the figure had already arrived at a mountain corner, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the bustling Liyue Harbor, a thousand thoughts flashing in his eyes.

The world is a vast and ever-changing place, life is but a fleeting dream...

Gazing at the calm sea, Zhongli slowly closed his eyes.

Next... a great era is about to begin, and this time, the right to choose... may truly be handed over to "human beings".

The unnamed colossus bestowed its blessing. For this small world, this blessing was like a long-awaited rain for those suffering from drought. But... for Teyvat, was it a case of drinking poison to quench thirst, or was it a sweet treat?

Heaven did not answer; it simply accepted this blessing in silence and, in its own way, awaited people to break through the veil of "childhood."

Now... the one who can break through Teyvat's "childhood" has already walked towards Liyue.

In that case, his well-prepared plan should proceed as scheduled.

……

"Sigh, look, sleeping again."

After putting away the Flame Spear, Xing looked at Paimon, who had fallen asleep on the ground sometime earlier, and shook his head in exasperation at his lack of ambition.

It was just a fleeting glimpse of a star god's phantom image, was it really necessary to fall asleep immediately?

It's obvious... they haven't played enough simulated universe games!

However, now that Paimon is asleep, she should stop and wait for her most loyal companion.

So, Xingjiang Paimon picked him up, glanced back at the Seven Gods statue behind her, then adjusted Paimon's angle and placed him on the Seven Gods statue, asking "Rock King Emperor" to take care of Paimon for a while. Next, she was going to chat in the group for a bit!

……

beloberg

Kiana has now followed the "clues" all the way to the mechanical settlement in the lower district. To meet the legendary tyrant Schwarz, she needs to open the gate again.

However, to reopen the gate and enter the mechanical settlement, some... essential "minor procedures" are required.

Hmm... a classic mission.

Looking at the robot in front of her that looked like a traffic light, Kiana nodded to herself.

really……

There will always be obstacles on the road to exploration.

But for Kiana, perhaps they can "bypass" the obstacle in another way.

So, right in front of the little robot, Kiana opened a simple portal, and amidst the shock visible even through the electronic eyes, Kiana and her group entered the mechanical settlement without any hindrance...

"..."

"Hehe, bye-bye~"

In March, she playfully waved at the traffic light robot before turning and entering the portal.

"..."

"Buzz buzz buzz... Error... Crack! Crack! Program error... Target seeking... Target seeking failed... Forget it, I'm giving up. I can't control this stuff, whatever..."

A few sparks of electricity, symbolizing "mental confusion," flashed across the little robot's body, and then... it successfully gave up.

Are you kidding me? The other side just walked past it in an incomprehensible way right in front of it, what's the point of it stopping it?!

"What an amazing ability! If this portal could be opened wider, it might be able to send everyone underground back to the surface?"

Seele's eyes lit up as she looked at the "magical" portal behind her.

Bronya, standing to the side, visibly twitched at the corner of her mouth upon seeing the door.

She would never forget that day. She was walking along the road when she was suddenly transferred from the upper district to the lower district. If she hadn't witnessed the true situation of the lower district of Beloborg here, she would probably still be blaming Kiana now.

However, she didn't seem to have any reason to blame them, since she was the one who led the troops to arrest them first.

Fortunately, everything is in the past now. Rather than dwelling on her previous worries, she wants to find out the "truth" of the matter.

"Um, Kiana, actually Clara could just have Timmy open the door..."

Clara, standing to the side, tugged at Kiana's sleeve and said somewhat weakly.

"Uh...sorry, I just opened the door on a whim!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana scratched the back of her head somewhat awkwardly.

Since entering Belloborg, her powers have become increasingly useful, but they seem to be a little too useful. So, when she encounters a place she can't pass through, it has become an instinct for her to subconsciously open a portal to get there.

"Hmm... Kiana is really perfect for pioneering!"

Upon hearing this, March nodded in approval and then gave Kiana a thumbs up.

This pioneering journey was the easiest and simplest pioneering experience she had ever had!

Basically, as long as she encounters some simple "levels", Kiana can use her magical power to "skip levels", which is like having a cheat code for March 7 who has been tormented by puzzles and riddles!

"Hahaha...actually, I just did it on a whim..."

Kiana was already a little embarrassed, and then March 7th said that...

She was even more embarrassed.

because……

Skipping class may seem appealing, but it can also lead to a lot of trouble.

Hopefully, I won't encounter any more trouble because of "skipping class" in the future.

Chapter Sixty-One Schwarz

After passing through the door, the next thing everyone had to do was face Schwarz.

With Clara's introduction, Schwarzlo was willing to give them a chance to explain their origins.

Now it's Kiana's turn to show off her eloquence!

After briefly gathering her thoughts, Kiana gazed at the tall, imposing robot before her, which seemed to perfectly match Welt's aesthetic sensibilities, and slowly began to speak:

“Swarovski, we did not come with malice. On the contrary, we have only one purpose.”

"That is to uncover the truth about this world and save it from the brink of extinction."

Kiana's gaze was firm and imposing as she stared at Schwarz before her, an invisible aura instantly surging around her.

That was Kiana's own aura, an aura cultivated through countless trials as the former "Goddess of Earth".

She stood there, as if her mere presence could bring hope to people!

“Belloburg is in dire straits right now. I believe you know what Belloburg is going through. On the way here, Clara mentioned the predicament Belloburg’s lower districts more than once, and you have seen it all, but due to various reasons, you are unable to provide effective assistance to this world.”

"And our arrival is to help Belloberg get rid of the crisis you mentioned, or even... the open source that ends all the calamities."

"I believe you should know that we have the capability to do this."

Kiana raised her hand, and a deep portal opened to the side and behind Schwarz.

Almost instinctively, Schwarzro shielded Clara behind him, watching the portal that had appeared out of nowhere with wary eyes.

However, no dangerous fluctuations appeared from within the portal. On the contrary, Kiana, who had just been standing in the same spot, slowly walked out of the portal and calmly looked at Schwarz before her.
