Rather than pointless waste, it would be better to have them all work for me. After all, Teyvat is not short on talent.
Wu Tong stroked his chin in thought, his eyes occasionally flashing with a sharp glint.
Worldly Wanderer (Zhongli): To be honest, young friend Wu Tong, Teyvat's current situation is indeed far from ideal. I have indeed considered relocating Liyue to another world.
Worldly Wanderer (Zhongli): But Teyvat is, after all, the world where I was born. After careful consideration, I've decided to give our plan a try—to see if it can truly succeed.
Worldly Wanderer (Zhongli): If it fails, I will persuade the other Archons to migrate to your world. How does that sound?
As soon as Wu Tong spoke, Zhongli understood his meaning. With six thousand years of experience, Zhongli could easily discern the hidden intent behind Wu Tong's words.
Zhongli was well aware that, given Teyvat's current state, achieving world ascension was nearly impossible—even preserving itself was a challenge.
The Seven Archons' plan was also highly unlikely to succeed. Even if it did, Teyvat would suffer devastating damage.
Knowing this, Zhongli had indeed contemplated relocating Liyue to another world to protect his people.
Over the past few months in the chat group, Zhongli had observed the worlds of his fellow members and found only one truly suitable.
Fu Hua's and March 7th's worlds were out of the question—they existed within the same "Tree and Sea" cosmology, making them far too dangerous.
The group leader's world was even less suitable. Zhongli wasn't confident about surviving the early dangers, let alone the later crises.
Haxhi's world was also unfit, as interstellar warfare posed too many risks. Tsukasa Kadoya's world had too many powerful villains, so Zhongli ruled it out. Rimuru's world operated on the law of the jungle, with many strong individuals and rampant schemes, making it equally undesirable.
That left only Zhang Chulan's world and Wu Tong's world as viable options.
However, Zhang Chulan's world was entangled in complex national power struggles. Moving Liyue there could lead to unpredictable consequences, so Zhongli dismissed it as well.
In the end, Zhongli decided that if their plan failed, he would relocate Liyue to Wu Tong's world.
Even if Wu Tong's world adhered to the law of the jungle, where strength reigned supreme, Zhongli was confident he could suppress any threats.
He was certain he could handle even the gods of Wu Tong's world—such was the confidence of the God of War.
Moreover, Wu Tong's world had Wu Tong himself, a transmigrator destined for greatness. Allying with him would be a wise choice.
After finalizing his plan, Zhongli had intended to discuss it with Wu Tong. To his surprise, Wu Tong had the same idea, so he seized the opportunity to lay his cards on the table.
If their plan failed, Zhongli would bring the people of all seven nations to seek refuge with Wu Tong.
Truth-Seeker (Wu Tong): That's excellent news. Then I'll await good tidings from you, Mr. Zhongli.
Hearing Zhongli's words, Wu Tong had no objections. Everyone in the group understood Teyvat's dire situation—it was a mess.
Wu Tong was confident he could persuade Teyvat's people to join him, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Based on the Traveler's journey, it would take at most a few years to see results. Wu Tong had that time to spare. In the meantime, he could secure territories in the Douluo world to avoid the awkward scenario of having no place to house everyone if they arrived.
As for whether Zhongli would go back on his word?
That was impossible. After all, Zhongli had once declared, "Even if the heavens fall, the contract must be fulfilled."
Zhongli, who held contracts in the highest regard, would never break his word.
Afterward, Wu Tong and Zhongli chatted a while longer, finalized their plans, and then Wu Tong sent the Horse Talisman to Zhongli via a red packet.
Once his conversation with Zhongli concluded, Wu Tong didn't return to the group chat. Instead, he opened a private chat with Fu Hua.
Truth-Seeker (Wu Tong): Fu Hua, do you remember what we discussed half a month ago?
Truth-Seeker (Wu Tong): Will you have time tomorrow? I plan to visit your world to meet the teacher.

At the moment, Fu Hua was seated on the rest platform, observing the training progress of Kiana and the others.
While watching their training, she also immersed her consciousness in the chat group, keeping up with the messages.
…
"Ugh, Mei I'm so tired I'll need your fried chicken to recharge later~"
The white-haired dummy whined as she trained, shamelessly leaning toward the purple-haired beauty beside her.
"Alright, alright. I'll make some for you after training…"
Seeing Kiana's drooling expression, Raiden Mei replied with fond exasperation.
"Idiot Kiana."
Bronya Zaychik, standing nearby, couldn't resist mocking Kiana.
She couldn't understand why this fool was supposed to be the future savior.
"What did you say, you little gray midget?!"
Hearing Bronya's jab, Kiana immediately flared up, glaring at the silver-haired girl as if ready to pounce at any second.
"Come on, you two…"
Mei sighed, stepping in as the mediator—a role she found herself playing almost daily.
"Hmph!" "Hmph!"
Not wanting to make things difficult for Mei, the two turned their heads away in unison.
"Are you two children?"
Mei couldn't help but mentally facepalm at the familiar scene.
"Mei, Mei! Look, the Class Monitor isn't paying attention to us!"
Truly, a certified himbo.
Less than a minute later, Kiana was already pointing excitedly at Fu Hua as if she'd spotted something fascinating.
Hearing this, the others also turned their attention to the rest platform where Fu Hua sat.
"Huh? You're right. The Class Monitor isn't watching us."
Mei found it strange. Given Fu Hua's personality, she should've been meticulously overseeing their training.
"Mei-senpai, based on analysis, the Class Monitor is likely conversing with people from other worlds in that chat group."
Bronya, curious, quickly deduced the situation.
"Oh! That chat group the Class Monitor told us about before?"
"So she's talking to someone. No wonder…"
The two finally understood.
…
Just as they were discussing this, Fu Hua withdrew from the chat group.
Recalling the messages inside, her expression darkened. A suffocating aura seeped from her, pressing down on everyone present.
"Mei… the Class Monitor feels really scary right now…"
The Kaslana family was known for their idiocy, but they also possessed an idiot's terrifying intuition—Kiana was no exception.
Her instincts screamed danger, and she shivered as she clung to Mei.
In the past, she wouldn't have been afraid of Fu Hua. But recently, Fu Hua had not only forced her to train harder but also to study.
As an academic disaster, Kiana loathed studying. Thus, she couldn't help but develop a fear of Fu Hua.
Stare—
As a former MANTIS from the Previous Era, even with her body damaged and her strength diminished, Fu Hua could still hear Kiana's muttering from such a short distance.
Her lifeless eyes instantly locked onto Kiana.
