Ah, Liyue. A beautiful city based off the old China. Truly a sight to be held.

Not TOO far from the Harbor, we see a bunch of hilichurls sitting by a campfire near a cliff.

Y/n: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

BAM! Right in the middle comes our traveler thrusting his sword to the ground and channeling some Anemo powers spreading the fire of the campfire towards the hilichurls.

Not bothering to finish them off. Y/n proceeds to haul ass.

Y/n: OHSHIT OHFUCK OHSHITOHFUCK!

Paimon: JUST A LITTLE MORE AND WE'RE THERE!

If you look carefully, you'll see that the traveler had his clothes looked like they just dried from being into water.

Let's have a little flashback to see what happened.

Flaaashbaaaaack™

Y/n: HOW THE FUCK IS MY LEG STUCK!? I DON'T REMEMBER PUTTING ROPE HERE!!!

Paimon: Paimon doesn't know! But these fireworks are gonna explode any second now!

Summining your sword, you place it on the conveniently placed rope that held your leg and cut it, and jump for it, and use the wind glider.

Y/n: NAILED IT!

BOOM

A piece of the chair comes flying towards you, and hits your wind glider.

Y/n: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! I'M GOING DOWN! HOW FRAGILE IS THIS!?

Gravity does its job because of Newton, and you begin falling.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long before you got your bearings, and just before you hit a mountain by about 12 meters, you are able to reactivate your glider.

Paimon: Phew! That was too close, Y/n!

Y/n: You don't say...

Landing on the mountain you take a look at your sorrounding taking in the beauty of this nation.

Paimon: WOAH! This is part of Liyue, it's so beautiful up here!

Taking a breathe, you were about to jump off, but with the power of bullshit you slipped on the wet side of the mountain.

Y/n: FUUUU-

SPLASH

Y/n didn't have a chance to activate the wind glider as he fell into this big ass lake, he swims up to the surface and gasps for air.

Y/n: Damn you, plot... And it's raining... Great.

Paimon: Hey, are you okay!?

All of a sudden a voice comes out of nowhere.

???: So, murderers from our homeland have come on a futile journey to harass people of the Qince waters...

Paimon: Paimon doesn't like where this is going...

From the water nearby emerges an annoying piece of fucking shit that should die in hel- sorry. Here is the picture.

Oceanid 'Good luck'

Voice of the Water: Very well then. But be warned. Her power shall crush any miscreant that would dare to pollute these water.

Y/n: O_O Yeah... I could chokeslam that.

Present

Y/n: I'LL GET IT ONE DAY!

Paimon: Not now! We have like 10 minutes before it starts!

Y/n: Right! Oh, a statue!

Paimon: ... Really?

Y/n: Oh, come on! Remember how we figured out Venti was the FREEDOM boi? Maybe, we can do the same here!

Paimon: You're right!

Floating in the speed of sound Paimon is now face to face with the statue.

Paimon: Uh... This one is rather hard to figure out. It has a hood on.

Y/n: Wait. Let me see.

You tired to climb the statue, however the moment you touch it, it lights up.

Taking a step back to look at what you did. You notice some golden shine comes out from the bottom of the statue. Slowly but surely, the light goes to the Archon's statue, more specifically the cube he was holding.

It shines before a mini Golden cube starts flying towards you, hesitant for a second since you may or may not have some PTSD for the cubes. But allow it to touch you.

The previously Bluish green colors of your gems change to golden ones. Except one gem remains that has the bluish green Anemo color.

Paimon: Holy moly! Did... Did you just feel the power of Geo?

Y/n: If this keeps up, then I need to file on some harassment lawsuits.

Paimon: But! But! Your connection with the elements are so different from the Vison bearers. Seems like you can switch between elements! Look, one of your gems is still Anemo!

Y/n: I'm the fucking Avatar! Heh. I'm just gonna go and test them out.

Convently you spot two hilichurls, and one Geo shaman.

Y/n: Oh, you poor little souls...

Dashing-

(Yes?)

Not you, you dumb fuck! Ahem... Dashing towards the hilichurls, as they spot you. You proceeds to channel your new-found powers.

Using the Geo element, you create a Geo dagger and throw it at one of the hilichurls, whilst you slash the other.

The shaman then proceeds to try and become Obi-Wan by creating a mini Pillar, but still tall enough to be out of your reach... That's not that tall.

Y/n: (Narrator... You calling me short?)

I-I would never! Heheh...anyways, you proceed to try and do the same, but couldn't, it only raised you about 20 centimeters.

Shrugging it off, you create a spear and without wasting a moment, YEET it I to the shaman, impaing it.

Y/n: Hmm...

You start focusing on the Anemo gem of yours, not too long, the rest of the gems return into Anemo, with one gem being Geom

Paimon: You like Anemo more?

Y/n: Both is good, but I'd rather keep this a surprise for future enemies.

You proceed to pull out a cloth, and wrap it around the Geo gem of yours, concealing it.

As much as you'd love to find out more, you continue running to Liyue, as you already wasted enough time. But due to the power of plot, the fight and observation only took 2 minutes off your time.

In Liyue Harbor, tourists are seen entering it, to witness the great decension of a literal god. With the citezens already being ready for it.

Milleleth#1: Ayo, what is that?

Milleleth#2: I don't know, but it's fast!

Y/n: OUTTA MY WAY, SON! OUTTA THE WAY!

Milleleth#2: HOLY SHIT! HE'S ALREADY HERE!?

Milleleth#1: Heh, youngsters sure are interested in our god. I feel prideful.

With Y/n and Paimon

Y/n: My legs are killing me...

Paimon: Well, at least we're on time. Good thing Venti told us about it otherwise we definitely would've missed this year's Rite of Decension. Let's ask around to see where it takes place.

And thus, your journey in Liyue has begun, little did you know other Shenanigans would take place.

Running towards the place while examining the city, you look for someone.

Y/n: *Whistles* This truly looks like China. If you listen very carefully, you can hear human rights being violated.

Paimon: Uh... Is this some sort of your world stuff?

Y/n: Yup!

Paimon: Oookay... Change if subject. The Geo God, "Morax". Did you know that the Mora we use is named after this God? But it's seen as impolite for people outside of Liyue to refer to him by that name. Heck even the people of Liyue don't. They call him, Rex Lapis.

Y/n: Rexy.

Paimon: That works too. Oh, there! That man looks like a local!

Y/n: Hey, Mustache-Man. Rite of Desencion... Cool stuff, right? (I have the energy of "How do you do, fellow kids?" God, the cringe)

Bolai: You wish to see it? Me too, we all do! As a business man myself, how could I not take interest in Liyue's most important business trends? The seventeen prediction given last year made more than a few ripples throughout the industry.

Y/n: (A God spoiling the year... Never thought I'd see the day.)

Bolai: The more intriguing stuff is, there are rumors that the Tianquan herself, Ningguang, has been acting secretly in the shadows... She wants the rocks created by Geo Visions to be exempt from taxations.

Y/n: I bet she is making the rocks, isn't she?

Bolai: Indeed, my friend... But let's not talk too loud about it here... She might have some spies around here.

Paimon: Ah yes, very professional legal stuff talk.

Bolai: Haha! To be on the pulse of predictions and the market is what makes this harbor what it is. Among the Seven, Rex Lapis is the oldest deity. His keen sense of strategy is well trusted among his people. Understanding the predictions as soon as possible can make all the difference in making a fortune!

Paimon: Thanks, Mr. Mustache-Man!

BRRRRRRRR SCENE CHANGE

This is not important that much, but these lines are a bit. While on your quest for info you talk to this lady, that we're too lazy to name.

Lady: Last year the Yuheng of the Qixing had the honor to ask for the prediction.

Paimon: Oh! Paimon knows this one, you see Liyue is more focused on business and trade. The Liyue Qixing--the seven leaders of the seven enterprises of Liyue-- hold the control over Liyue.

Linlang: That's what foreigners always say.

YES, WE SAW HER NAME!

Linlang: The true control over Liyue will always be held by Rex Lapis.

Y/n: A part of me feels like you just jinxed yourself.

Linlang: Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen. The Qixing is comprised of mere mortals, Rex Lapis is a god. Mondstadt's god is nowhere to be seen, whilst our god is forever with us.

Y/n: No... No, you definitely jinxed yourself. Something is gonna happen.

Linlang: Give it some time, you'll see. It's better than that godless city of Mondstadt, it's time for you to experience a city that it's god has walked with it all through its history.

Y/n: Well, could you tell me where the Rite is?

Linlang: The highground.

Y/n: KENOOOBIII!

TIMESKIP IS UNBREAKABLE

Paimon: Y/n, Paimon heard that the best time for wished is during the Rite of Decension. Wanna give it a try?

Y/n: Oh, Kami-sama. Give us the cat-girls.

Paimon: There are already cat-girls, Y/N...

Y/n: Obama's last name, and who let the dogs out! P. S.  Tell me where Aether and Lumine are or I'll make sure when you try to get some cereal, instead of milk it'll be tomato juice.

Paimon: That's just pure evil!

Y/n: T O O  F U C K I N G  B A D !

The wishing thingy that looks like an oversized vase lights up.

Y/n: Good choice.

Tourist#1: Hey, it's Ninngaung!

Citezen#1: She is the one who is presiding the Rite of Decension.

Tourist#2: I heard that when Rex Lapis descends, he takes the firm if celestial beasts, just like the adepti!

Paimon: Oh, it's starting! Let's go, Y/n!

The two of you begin joining the crowd... Bad thing is, your WAAAY back, and you can't see anything. So you did the most logical thing.

Y/n: Excuse me. Excuse me. Short boi coming through!

I thought you didn't li- actually, I'll just shut up. I don't want tomato juice in my cereal.

You go through surprisngly fast as now your in the front. You see a Chinese looking lady, with white hair, who's back is turned and looking towards the sky.

Ningguang 'A four star BTW'

Ah yes, the lady that the author procrastinated her mission for over a month now. She was waiting in the Chamber for that long.

She turns back and looks at the crowd, beside her two purple wearing ladies.

Ningguang: The hour is upon us.

The two ladies bow at the red eyed Chinese lady, as she uses her powers, Geo rocks floating in a circle motion, circling Ninngaung.

She sends them flying towards the middle, aka where the mini shrine is, as they get placed into their locations. Pointing her middle and index finger towards her chin as if she is in Naruto.

A golden colored beam flies up to the clear sky, getting cloudes to conceal it, slowly but surely, it felt as if there was a tornado in the clouds. Then it became an actual tornado in the clouds.

The beam dies down, as the cloudnado pulls off a reverse Michael Jackson. Clouds became blacc it can say the n-word now.

However, Ningguang looked quite weird out by the strange turns of events, however what surprised her and the crowd more, was a dragon falling from the sky directly at the mini shrine.

It fell with great speed and demolished the shrine. It lays there motionless.

Y/n: ... Guess we'll never know.

People started whispering to each other, as the red eyed woman kneels to check the dragon.

She got up, and turns around hastily and orders.

Ningguang: Rex Lapis has been killed! Seal the exits!

The guards start coming out as if they were ants, and does as demanded. Rushing into any possible way of leaving and guarding it.

Paimon: Wha-What's going on!?

Y/n: Well, you see. A dragon fell from the sky and-

Paimon: No! Like, what is going on!? Did she just say, Rex Lapis is... The Geo Archon is DEAD!? Oh no, the Millileth! Looks like they're nabbing suspects that got too close! Paimon is freaking out! The killer is amongst us!

Y/n: Shhhh. It's alright, little Marshmello. If anyone is the killer, it's probably that white haired lady, after all that beam did hit the sky, and when it disappeared the dragon fell down.

Paimon: O-oh! That makes sense... But will they even consider that? Wait... We got close. Are we suspects!?

Y/n: Calm down. No one is go-

Citezen#3: Hey, wasn't there a kid with h/c hair that got in front?

Citezen#4: You're right. He kept using the excuse that he was too short.

Millileth#3: Hm.. I see. Thanks for the information.

Y/n: ... Time to go.

Paimon: There are too many guards. What are we gonna do!?

Y/n: Ah...crap. Is it because I said Taiwan is a real country?

You start looking around until something catches your eye.


Y/n: I have an idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC7ZrM9-wqc

No one suspects a cardboard box.

Paimon: You know, it's really dark in here.

Y/n: You can just disappear. Why are you here?

Paimon: But this looks fun!

Millileth: ?

There was totally no move.

Milleleth: mUsT hAvE bEeN mY iMaGiNaTiOn.

SUCCESS.

After Y/n's stealth skill was put on, with everything going smoothly...

... That is until...A kid was walking back to his mother with a lilipop in hand, and he locked eyes with one of te  most feared individuals in Liyue.

Xinyan 'ROCC ROLL'

Xinyan: *Mutter* Not again... *Outloud* Howdy, kid! Lollipops are nice, ain't they?

She tried her best to be as friendly as possible, with her western accent in hand. However, the kid...

Kid: MAAAAMMAAAA!

He proceeds to run away, hitting the box you were hiding in the process and pretty much falls onto it.

Y/n: Ah, crap baskets!

Pushing off the kid, alas all the attention was on you, now.

Y/n: Take a picture while your at it! It'll last longer!

Citezen#4: *Unholy screaming*

Millelith: STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!

Y/n: NIGERUNDAYO!

Xinyan: ... That was not very rock 'n' roll.

And thus, the plan has failed because the plot demands it. You were currently running away from the guards.

Y/n: Wait a minute... They think I killed Rex Lapis which is a god... Why the fuck are they chasing me!? They should be the ones running.

You stop before turning towards them, mainly because you came into a dead end in the stair cases because eyoi are sorrouned.

Y/n: THE POWER OF GOD COMPELS YOU!

You pulled out all of your remaining ingredients and YEET it at them, boosting it with Anemo hitting them machine gun style.

Millelith#6: STOP THIS INSTA-GAH!

Millelith#5: MAN DOWN! by an... Apple? Huh.

???: Hey buddy, hold still.

A blue eyed Ginger guy, comes outta fucking no-where SOMEHOW and shoots one of the Millelithes, then switches his bow into two blades, and definitely didn't kill anyone there... Nuh-uh.

Y/n: That's rad!

LEARNED THE ESSENCE OF--SIKE!

Y/N: MOTHERFUCKER!

Childe 'LET THE VOICE OF LOVE TAKE YOU HIGHER'

Reinforcements were about to show up any second now.

Childe: CUM with me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfTb7U9CfeA

Take 2

Childe: Come with me.

Y/n: This is a horrible idea. I'll do it.

All of you start running... Some floting, following the ginger man. Until he leads you to safety.

Paimon: *Panting* Phew... Paimon's exhausted.

Y/n: I too float around and do nothing, but end up getting tired.

Paimon: So insensitive! You have no idea how tiring floating around is!

Y/n: What if I do?

Paimon: Oh really!? Prove it!

Childe: Yeah, you guys continue... I'll just stand here.

Y/n: Okay then.

Childe: Wait. You serious?

Paimon: YEAH! Wait... Who are you?

Childe: Call me Childe.

Y/n: Who names their child, "Child"?

Paimon: So we're supposed to dote on you?

Y/n: It's past your bedtime, child. Go to sleep.

Childe: Haha. No. This is an alias I go by. In Mondstadt, I don't suppose you came across "Signora" by any chance?

Y/n: That one with no taste, eyepatch wearing dominatrix ... Wait a minute.

Paimon: *LE gasp* You're a Fatui! One of the Harbingers!

Y/n: I never liked kids...

Childe: Oh, don't worry. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm sure Signora gave you quite the bad impression... Tsk, that woman. Can't say I'm a fan either. Let's forget about her though. I'm here to help you.

Y/n: True. If you were a fan you'd have three blades and work on electricity. Get to the point. I don't think you helped us because you are so kind.

Childe: Come now, you don't need to be like that. I'm not a bad guy... Okay, perhaps I am a bit of a bad guy. But I assure you, I'm not here to give you any trouble. Would it be too much to ask to keep your sword sheathed?

Y/n: Not at all, it was never sheathed. In fact I can just summon it and stab you in the eye.

Childe: Woah! Take it easy... Aren't you the hero of Mondstadt? Hero's don't do that.

Y/n: How much you wanna bet?

Childe: From the way you are speaking... Not a lot. But I couldn't help but notice you during the proceedings, and because I had my eyes on you this whole time. I know for a fact that it wasn't you who killed Rex Lapis.

Y/n: Stalker.

Childe: That... Actually, I have nothing. That does sound like a stalker move. Back to the topic at hand, given that I'm a Fatui from Snezhnaya, no one would trust me in this sort of magnitude. The ruling Qixing of Liyue has always been overly suspicious of us.

Paimon: For a good reason! Can you honestly blame them?

Childe: Hahaha. Guess I shouldn't try to deny that. Maintaining a distance between strangers is a good idea. Either way, I'm quite used to it. But right now, if you wanna clear yourself of any suspiciouns, you might wanna head to Northland Bank. Staying here isn't a good option, as the old Liyue saying goes: "The walls have ears".

Y/n: I'm quite experienced in the art of breaking walls. 

Going through some Chinese style set of stairs, with little people in it. The three of you reach the front door of the Fatui bank in Liyue.

Paimon: Northland bank...

Childe: Correct. This bank was opened here in Liyue by Snezhnaya. Though everyone knows Liyue is the most enterprised in Teyvat, Snezhnaya is not short from change either.

Paimon: Yeah well, poorer nations don't seem the type to have diplomats that come around acting the way yours do to the Knights of Favonius.

Y/n: Though, it's still quite weird how the Fatui has such a strong diplomatic powers in Mondstadt.

Childe: Ehehehehe... Well, allow me to enlighten you. You see back in the day, not too long ago, there was a dragon that attacked Mondtsadt, and no it was not the once named "Stormterror". It's name was Ursa the Drake, plaguing that city for over a thousand years, until it got vanquished by one of the Harbingers, Dottore.

Paimon: Ursa the Drake...? Wasn't that the same dragon Venessa subdued alongside Barbatos about 1000 years ago!?

Childe: Correct. Like you said, they subdued it, didn't get rid of it. Here let me give you this...


Paimon: This is a...

Childe: I don't know exactly. Sometimes all money can buy are "things" not a name for oneself. All I know is that it's a sigil of some sort. A sigil to keep the "mighty and illuminated adepti" from bringing harm to you.

Y/n: Ade-pie?

Paimon: The ones who throw all kinds of pies towards you? That's not something harmful, that's delicious!

Childe: Uh, yeah sure. If you head north from the harbor, then west from Guili Plains, you'll eventually reach a stone forest knows as Jueyun Karst. The people of Liyue believe it to be the abode of the adepti.

Y/n: Believe? They aren't for certain this is true?

Childe: Offering to the adepti are made at its borders. Nobody dares to venture in it. But I have no need of believing-- not when I know for a fact that the adepti truly exist.

Paimon: Hate to admit it, but your Fatui Intel seems alright. But, why would we go looking for the adepti anyway?

Childe: Ha, oh my little friend. There are plenty of reasons on why mortals seek the blessings of adepti. Money, health, love... But you... You will go for justice.

Y/n: (Or just ask them about any leads, and just leave this city... If only. They already know what I look like, and who knows, maybe they'll be troublesome in the future.)

Paimon: Justice?

Childe: The Qixing will already have dispatched thr Millelith. They'll be seeking out the assassin from the onlookers, mostly looking for a young, h/c haired boy. But how can a mere mortal kill a God that can sweep away entire armies? Rex Lapis never gave up his powers as a god. This level of crude response is beyond what it is called for. How suspicious...

Y/n: So, you're saying that the Qixing did it and are calling me sus?

Childe: Haha. Your thinking is more radical than mine, Honorary Knight. Even now, the Northland Bank can't hold off the Millelith. But the adepti can clear you from any wrong doing. Liyue was founded by the Geo Archon and the adepti-- of course, it was built by force. Look for them. And be faster than the Qixing's messengers, so you may give your version of events first. If there is anyone that can help you in Liyue now, it can only be the mighty and illuminated adepti.

Y/n: *Mutters* I just want to find Aether and Lumine... This is gonna turn into an enormous ordeal again...

---------------------------------------------------------

And so, the chapter has been released.

Quite the warm welcome, wasn't it? But hey, you have Geo now, you damn Avatar!

So how was it? Good? Bad? YOU BORING MOTHERFUCKER!?

DashingBanana yee'd his last haw
