【Xiangling】：Wow...that's a bold statement!
【Xiangling】：No wonder people often say at Wanmin Restaurant that Lady Keqing is disrespectful to the adepti.
【Xiangling】：If Lady Keqing hadn't made so many contributions, she would probably be considered a traitor.
【Xingqiu】：Hmm...it is indeed a very rebellious statement. If the Archon hadn't stayed silent, I imagine she would have been impeached by her peers.
【Ganyu】：Heh...a familiar statement.
【Keqing】：Hmph, even now, I still maintain this stance.
【Keqing】：Human matters should be left to humans to solve. Humans should shoulder their own destiny.
【Keqing②】：Is that so? So you're still clinging to your past beliefs...
【Keqing】：What do you mean? Do you no longer think that way? Have you betrayed yourself?
【Keqing②】：Heh...betrayed myself? Perhaps. At least, the me now, no longer holds such naive fantasies.
【Keqing】：You really disappoint me.
The atmosphere grew a little awkward.
Everyone stopped discussing this matter and turned their attention to the plot.
The screen continued to play.
Keqing gave Lumine and Paimon the method to board the Jade Chamber.
After some twists and turns, the two finally boarded the Jade Chamber by using the codeword of the Jade Star.
Ganyu was already waiting for them at the Jade Chamber's plaza.
After a riddle-like conversation, Ganyu explained the reason for sealing off the scene.
She did this to stabilize the situation, but also to prevent the Fatui from taking advantage of the situation.
After explaining everything, Ganyu promised the two that they could take any item from the Jade Chamber, whatever they chose, she wouldn't stop them.
Paimon remembered what the storyteller had mentioned about the wall.
Legend said that any blueprint on the wall was worth a thousand gold.
Thus, the two saw the largest blueprint on the wall, which recorded some information about the Fatui.
According to the blueprint, they were secretly researching the "Forbidden Scroll of Freedom."
Lumine realized that this could be Ganyu's bait, but she had no choice but to take a look.
After inspecting it, they confirmed that the Fatui were secretly producing the Forbidden Scroll of Freedom, but they didn't know what happened.
With no other choice, they continued to follow Zhongli to collect the last Glaze Lilies, then they returned to Liyue Harbor. Liyue Harbor had become tense.
【Yelan②】：After watching for so long, I've found that the Traveler of this world is still no different.
【Yelan②】：Until now, she's still like a puppet, doing what others tell her to do.
【Yelan②】：While it's understandable, she should at least have her own thoughts. But I haven't seen any thought from the Traveler. She's more like a machine executing orders.
【Ganyu②】：Indeed.
【Ganyu②】：The impression isn't better than before.
【Ganyu②】：Perhaps you can accept it, but we simply can't.
【Ganyu】：Oh? Why do you say that?
【Ganyu②】：Because the gap between the two is simply too great.
【Ganyu②】：After you watch this, you should know why I say that.
Although the Ganyu from the parallel world spoke with restraint, everyone could still hear that they were not satisfied with the Traveler's performance.
Perhaps from the outcome, the Traveler became a hero, but the whole process felt suffocating.
In fact, they had similar feelings, just not as obvious as the other, so they didn't feel such strong discomfort.
As the protagonist, Lumine chose to remain silent.
When she experienced these things, she didn't feel anything.
But now that she's reviewing it again from an observer's perspective, even she felt that there was a big problem.
Although she ultimately saved Liyue, she was simply following orders, not acting independently.
In other words, even if another capable person had done these things, they could have become the hero who saved Liyue. It wasn't necessary for her.
Realizing this.
Lumine felt a strong sense of frustration.
Everyone hailed her as a hero, but was she really a hero?
Just as Lumine was caught in deep self-doubt, the next scene gave her some confidence.
After some deduction, she judged that "Childe" should have run to the Golden House and took the opportunity to attack the Xianzu Fatui.
So, Lumine rushed to the Golden House and sure enough, encountered "Childe" who was preparing to cause trouble. The two engaged in a fierce battle.
Even though "Childe" ultimately used his Delusion, unleashing his "Magician's Arsenal," he was still no match for Lumine. He was forced to betray his own heart and release the Vortex Magus, Osial, who was sealed by the rock spear.
In an instant, the wind howled.
A giant figure appeared on the distant Guyun Stone Forest.
Realizing that something was wrong, Lumine and Paimon quickly left the Golden House.
At the same time, the Jade Chamber happened to appear above them. They immediately boarded the Jade Chamber using the elevator mechanism.
At this moment, the adepti had gathered. To deal with the current crisis, they decided to temporarily put aside their differences and talk about it after they had weathered this crisis.
So, the adepti operated Ganyu's modified "Returning Machine" to attack the Vortex Magus.
And Lumine and the others bought time together, preventing the Fatui who were appearing through the teleportation gates from interfering with the adepti of Liyue.
Unfortunately, the Magus' power was too strong, even with the new Returning Machine and the combined power of the adepti, they were unable to stop the Vortex Magus.
At this critical moment of life and death, Ganyu made an astonishing decision.
She would use the Jade Chamber as the core, carrying the power of the adepti, to re-seal the Vortex Magus, Osial.
So, the adepti infused their power into the Jade Chamber. Lumine raised the "Key of Khaenri'ah" in her hand, as the final finishing touch, detonated the power.
The Jade Chamber, carrying the terrifying power of the elements, plunged from the sky, detonating a mushroom cloud that blotted out the sun. The Vortex Magus, breaking free from the rock spear's restraints, sank back to the bottom of the Guyun Stone Forest.
After this battle.
The conflict between humans and adepti was eased.
Finally, Lumine and Paimon, together with Zhongli, held a farewell ceremony for the adepti.
And they learned a shocking fact, this guest of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, was the Geo Archon of Liyue.
Everything they had experienced was actually a plan devised by the Geo Archon.
Lumine and Paimon were speechless after learning the truth.
Wait, dude? You're the Geo Archon lying in the coffin?
So the hero who saved Liyue was just a pawn chosen by the Geo Archon from among the masses?
