In the chat room.
Paimon: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very uncomfortable. I feel like the world has changed drastically in just one day."
Zhongli: "It's because of the Lesser Lord Kusanali and Venti being demoted and permanently imprisoned, isn't it? I can understand your feelings somewhat, little Paimon."
Paimon: "Yeah, even though he was a terrible singer, he was still a friend we knew for years. And there's also the former Dendro Archon, Nahida, who fought alongside us and the Traveler to defeat the fake god, Scaramouche."
Raiden Shogun: "A person's life is constantly moving forward. Progress means losing something, it's just that this time, it happened sooner."
Lumine: "Yeah, although I feel very emotional, there's no need to be sad."
Nahida: "I understand Paimon's feelings too. But those who survive have to look forward. It's one day of crying, and one day of smiling. Why not face tomorrow with a smile?"
Paimon: "Okay, I'll try to cheer up. I just hope Zhongli and Ei don't get into trouble."
Ganyu: "I also hope the Geo Archon doesn't get into trouble..."
Cloud Retainer: "Who wouldn't? If it wasn't for the Geo Archon leading us Adepti to win the Archon War back then, Liyue wouldn't know who would be ruling it."
Yujing Terrace: "The Geo Archon should be fine, right?"
Zhongli: "Heh, who knows? I have no intention of betraying Celestia. Giving up the Geo Gnosis was just to fulfill my contract with the Cryo Archon."
Yae Miko: "I don't know if the Geo Archon of Liyue will get into trouble, but my god, she will probably be scolded by Celestia."
Raiden Shogun: "....."
Fontaine: "Wait... will I also be dragged out and whipped? I've already resigned as the Hydro Archon!"
Nahida: "I think not."
Lumine: "I think so too."
The true Hydro Archon, Focalors, perished with the destruction of the Hydro Archon Seat.
Even if Celestia wanted to discipline the Hydro Archon, they wouldn't find anyone to discipline.
Furthermore.
Fontaine isn't the true Hydro Archon.
Therefore, in Nahida's and Lumine's opinion, Celestia wouldn't drag Fontaine out to be whipped.
Fontaine: "You better be telling the truth!"
Nahida: "Don't worry, Fontaine, you've done so much for Fontaine. If Celestia is truly just and fair, they might not praise you, but they definitely wouldn't scold you."
Lumine: "That's right."
Fontaine: "Really? Then I'll believe you for now."
.....
Moments later.
The giant screen in the sky once again shows Lin Mo and the Great Tree King.
At this moment, people from Liyue, Inazuma, Natlan, and even Snezhnaya all held their breath in tense anticipation.
They wondered who Celestia would target next.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Mo spoke again, "Next, it's your turn, Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue."
When the name "Morax" came out of Lin Mo's mouth.
Cloud Retainer and the other Adepti with three eyes and five manifestations, Ganyu, and the people of Liyue, all felt their hearts tighten.
As expected.
Even the Geo Archon, who protected the people of Liyue Harbor for thousands of years, couldn't avoid being disciplined by Celestia?
"Morax, in recognition of your diligent efforts in protecting the people of Liyue for thousands of years, I will give you a chance to reflect on your own problems."
"Hm..."
At the peak of Mount Tianheng, Zhongli stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The problem Lord Lin Mo refers to, is it the matter of me giving away the Geo Gnosis? If that's it, I believe Lord Lin Mo should understand."
"I made a contract with the Cryo Archon of Snezhnaya. She sent people to help me test the Liyue Qixing. After the task was accomplished, I gave her the Geo Gnosis as compensation."
"I am the God of Contracts. If I cannot set an example by upholding the contract, then the title of God of Contracts would be a joke."
"Apart from this, I really don't know what other problems I have as the Geo Archon for the past thousands of years."
Indeed.
Zhongli's giving away the Geo Gnosis could be easily explained.
If Celestia blamed him for not taking the Geo Gnosis seriously and casually giving it away.
Then Zhongli would accept it.
After all, the Geo Gnosis was indeed a symbol of identity and a means of communication given to them by Celestia after the Archon War.
At the same time.
Cloud Retainer: "To be honest, I've been following the Geo Archon since thousands of years ago, before the Archon War even began. I really can't think of anything he's done wrong besides giving away the Geo Gnosis."
Mountain Shaper: "That's hard to say. As long as Celestia wants, even giving away the Geo Gnosis can be considered a mistake."
Xiao: "It shouldn't be like that. At least so far, Celestia has been quite reasonable. And when they were judging Lesser Lord Kusanali, they also said they wouldn't frame anyone with false charges."
Xiao: "Celestia wouldn't break their word in front of the entire Teyvat, would they?"
Yujing Terrace: "Don't be too optimistic. Since the Geo Archon was named by Celestia, there must be something wrong. We just don't know, or from our perspective, it doesn't count as a mistake."
Ganyu: "But at least... from Celestia's tone, even if the Geo Archon really has some problems, they shouldn't be too serious?"
Yujing Terrace: "Who knows? Let's wait and see."
.......
As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, Lin Mo said, "Your problem isn't giving away the Geo Gnosis, Morax."
"The real problem is that you abandoned your rule over Liyue and handed over the power to humans."
Upon hearing this.
Zhongli was completely taken aback.
He never imagined that his problem would be his decision to abdicate and hand over the ruling power to the Liyue Qixing.
Cloud Retainer: "It seems that Celestia also believes that a country ruled by humans is unreliable?"
Keqing: "Then I don't agree with Celestia's statement. Even without the gods, humans can create their own path. A country doesn't have to have a god, does it?"
Ningguang: "We humans defeated the previous Osial with our own power. It proves that even without the Geo Archon and the Adepti, we humans are still capable of defending our homeland."
