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

The memory stared at that strand of pale hair, seemingly puzzled, but... she finally recognized her, a slight smile playing on her lips, and then spoke for the first time:

"Long time no see, A-Ping."

"Hmm... It's been a long time. In the end... it's been a thousand years since we last met. Now that we can meet again, it can be said that it has fulfilled my long-cherished regret."

Grandma Ping shook her head with a sigh, then turned to look at the three people following closely behind.

"A Ping..."

Looking at Grandma Ping before her, Liu Yun felt a sudden surge of tension. Compared to her relationship with Gui Zhong, Ping and Gui Zhong were even closer friends. Now, she was glimpsing fragments of her old friend's memories...

"Haha... Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Seeing Liu Yun's hesitant expression, Grandma Ping naturally guessed what she was thinking, and then slowly shook her head to reassure her.

"I never thought I would be able to see an old friend again, even if it's just a fragment of memory. I'm satisfied, old woman."

Grandma Ping turned slowly around with her hands behind her back and looked at the stars.

"In that case, I must thank young friend Xing for making my dream come true..."

“From the moment you took the Cleansing Bell, I sensed Gui Zhong’s presence. Now, filling in the gaps in Gui Zhong’s memories is a good deed. Let her… see Liyue for herself!”

Then, Grandma Ping looked at that distant face again, her words tinged with reluctance, yet still filled with kindness:

“Go, he has been waiting for you for a long time. He still hasn’t solved the problem you left behind. It’s time for you to solve it yourself.”

Under Granny Ping's watchful gaze, Gui Zhong nodded gently, and then, once again, she took two steps on the bluestone slabs, walking towards the top of the Jade Capital Terrace.

There, an old friend had been waiting for her for a long time.

"..."

The locks of the mortal world surround Zhongli. He has known the secrets within these locks for thousands of years, but... he has never been able to crack them.

The contracts made in the past will be rewritten today, thousands of years later.

But those past memories will not disappear; they will only be remembered.

Zhongli turned around, gazing at that familiar figure, and then...

He gently placed the worldly lock before her.

"Long time no see, old friend."

Zhongli smiled faintly, then nodded slightly to the [memory] before him.

"Mora...x?"

That familiar voice was still as ethereal as ever. Amidst the laughter of those memories, the final part of the memories belonging to the final chapter was finally completed.

"So, my earliest memories are from here..."

Looking at the returning light, Xing gazed at the repaired light cone in her hand and sighed with emotion.

Now that the light cone has been completed, the magnificent life of Gui Zhong has revealed a part of the true face of the star.

From beginning to end, she had only one wish: that the people of this land could live and work in peace and contentment, no longer suffer from the invasion of foreign enemies, and no longer have to struggle for survival.

And her wish has been fulfilled thousands of years later.

Morax has fulfilled the pact he made with her a thousand years ago, and now... the secrets within the Lock of the Mortal World are no longer important.

"..."

The long, drawn-out sound of the zither rose from the Jade Capital Terrace, as if bidding farewell to a dear friend.

The mountain stream flows on, the music ends and the people disperse, the lingering dream echoes, the music ends and will never be played again...

Gui Zhong's figure slowly dissipated, leaving behind only a cone of light carrying his memories.

The Jade Capital Terrace was unusually quiet at this moment. The song had ended, and all that remained was the sound of the wind.

After a long while, Xing, holding the light cone in her hand, stood in front of Zhongli, whose eyes were slightly saddened.

"What do you say, let's name this cone of light 'The Mortal World'?"

"This item was obtained by young friend Xing, so young friend Xing can decide for himself."

"Then...should I go and get them back for you?"

Xing looked at Zhongli with a serious expression.

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli chuckled, then shook his head, turned around, and looked once again at the bustling commercial port.

"The person is gone... If my thoughts disturb their rest, that would be a sin..."

Ultimately, they will all meet again at the end of time; it's only a matter of time.

Chapter 154 The Wandering Teyvat Plan

In the end, Xing still took the light cone with her.

For Liyue, this light cone is of great significance, but it is precisely because of its significance that Zhongli allowed Xing to use it with peace of mind.

Because it is something of the stars, although it contains the memories of old friends, now that they are gone, allowing them to see Liyue through their memories is not only fulfilling their wishes, but also easing their regrets.

If they were forced to stay in Liyue, they would likely be laughed at by people from other countries who would say they were living in the past and unwilling to move on.

With a sigh, Xing decided to abandon her initial joking idea.

Perhaps the Black Tower can indeed find the soul sleeping in the earth's veins by following this cone of light, but as Zhongli said, it is better not to disturb the departed friend.

And so, Xing could only sigh with regret...

"Sigh... I quite like Miss Guizhong. She's so cute. If she were to be resurrected, I bet a lot of people would empty their wallets to try and win her, right?"

Looking at the light cone in his hand, Xing said with great emotion.

"So, you only wanted to revive Miss Guizhong because she's so cute...?"

Upon hearing this, Paimon's lips twitched.

However, she wasn't surprised.

After all, Xing is capable of anything...

"So!"

Xing, who had already returned to the inn, summoned the light cone once more.

We should see what the purpose of the light cone that carried us around Liyue is!

The crystalline cone of light slowly floated in Xing's fair palm, and then, details about the cone of light gradually appeared...

"Light Cone: [The Mortal World]"

Effect: When carrying the [Worldly Realm], one will have a deeper understanding of destinies such as [Expansion], [Memory], [Harmony], and [Void].

"..."

"hiss……"

Looking at the effect of the light cone in his hand, Xing gasped.

Will wearing a light cone give you a greater understanding of the power of destiny?

To say it's strong... it's not actually that powerful, but often, some beings just lack that one bit of insight to reach that higher uniqueness.

Ok……

After much deliberation, Xing finally put away the light cone.

The story of Hargentus, the demon god of the mortal realm, should not be confined to Teyvat, or rather, the story of this world deserves to be known by more worlds.

That being the case...

A new idea popped into Xing's mind.

So, in the chat group...

Star: "@Kiana"

Kiana: “???”

Xing: "I've obtained a light cone. I'll have Ling give it to you later. By the way... I've come up with a really good idea!"

Star: "I think the world I live in is quite interesting. What do you think would happen if we made Teyvat into a game and put it in the Star Railway world and the Honkai world?"

Star: "@Kiana@Luminous"

fluorescent:"!!!"

Ying: "Huh, so you're making Teyvat into a game...?"

Xing: "How about it? Let's pull off a big one!"

Kiana: "Um... I actually think it's possible, so what does this have to do with that light cone?"

Xing: "You'll know once you get that light cone!"

Xing: "Then, I will call this plan the [Teyvat Wandering] Plan!"

Ying/Kiana: "?"

Ying: "Why do you call me that?"

Xing: "If Teyvat were to explode, wouldn't it be good to still have a backup of Teyvat in other worlds?"

"..."

Ying was wondering why Teyvat would explode, but then she thought about it carefully and realized that she now had two star cores inside her body.

hiss……

It seems like there's a possibility it might explode!

Ying: "Well... it seems like it really is necessary to record Teyvat, by the way..."

Ying: "@Ling, can you send living people from your side?"

Ling: "???"

Ying: "I was thinking if Teyvat really blows up, I should tie up my awful brother first..."

Ling: "This... I've never tried this before. How about I try it on my brother first?"
