Alice: "What kind of world is that? It's simply horrendous."
Amber: "Those children are truly pitiful. They're so young, yet..."
Eula: "It's truly disheartening. What are the people of that world doing? Those children are clearly fighting hard for humanity, yet they..."
As a member of the Lawrence family, Eula felt a strange sense of empathy.
She also worked hard for Mondstadt, but the people of Mondstadt still held some prejudice against her because of her Lawrence family background.
However, compared to what those children endured, her own experiences were nothing.
Keqing: "What a rotten world. Let it be destroyed, quickly, let it be destroyed."
Ningguang: "Keqing, I understand how you feel, but I still hope you calm down. Given Lesser Lord Kusanali's personality, she probably won't destroy that world."
Collei: "Oh! What should we do? Lesser Lord Kusanali is so kind."
Nilou: "Su Bai must want Lesser Lord Kusanali to go and enlighten the humans of that world."
Alhaitham: "Alas, can they truly be enlightened?"
Arataki Itto: "I really don't understand what Su Bai is thinking. For something like this, we should send our Inazuma General. Chop them all down, chop them all down."
Kuki Shinobu: "Boss, calm down!"
Kujou Sara: "Although I usually find you annoying, this time I'm on your side."
Azhdaha: "Morax, Su Bai is sending Lesser Lord Kusanali to lead us Elemental Dragon Lords to assist. He's not arranging for us to help the humans there eliminate the Gastrea and then enlighten them, is he? To be honest, I don't want to take on this kind of mission."
Zhongli: "Alas, I can't guess what he truly intends to do."
Dvalin: "Barbatos over there, can you discuss with Su Bai? Let Ann take on the task of stopping the Gastrea. Her transformed fire giant is also a type of giant creature, so she should be able to enjoy the three-fold amplification authority, plus she's covered in flames. Dealing with the Gastrea would be a matter of minutes."
Venti: "Alas..."
[In the conference room, the air solidified.]
[Furina and Nahida's brows furrowed into a 'river' character.]
[Focalors seemed to be deep in thought.]
["The Archon representative chosen for this expedition is..."]
[As Asmodeus's voice rang out,]
[Raiden Ei and Finimos's bodies trembled abruptly.]
[Their expressions instantly became incredibly tense.]
[They hoped in their hearts that they wouldn't be chosen to go to the Gastrea World.]
[After all, with their temperaments, going to that world would very likely result in them slaughtering all the humans there.]
[Such an action would certainly not allow the Irminsul to grow, and they couldn't bear the responsibility of hindering the progress of the Teyvat World.]
["Nahida!"]
[The moment Asmodeus's voice fell,]
[The entire conference room suddenly became even quieter, and everyone's gaze fell upon Nahida, who was sitting on a chair and whose height was not even as tall as the conference table.]
["Eh, me?"]
[Nahida was bewildered, utterly bewildered.]
[She had never thought that Su Bai would let her lead a team on an expedition to another world.]
[Even more, she hadn't expected that the world she was to explore would be such a world.]
["Lord Su Bai..."]
[Barnabas had just opened her mouth when, after seeing Su Bai's gaze, she swallowed her words.]
[If she were to propose changing the Archon at this moment, wouldn't it be looking down on Nahida, believing she was incapable of completing the mission? What's more, all of this was arranged by Su Bai. If she suddenly offered a suggestion, wouldn't it mean she had an opinion on Su Bai's decision?]
[To deny the decision of the Heavenly Principles, that would truly be a fatal matter.]
["The Archon for the Gastrea World expedition is Nahida, Lesser Lord Kusanali of Sumeru, leading the Elemental Dragon Lords who possess Visions."]
["Prepare quickly. We depart from Celestia in three days."]
["Meeting adjourned, dismissed."]
[...]
[Celestia Leisure Zone.]
[Su Bai sat peacefully on a bench by the flower sea, enjoying the gentle breeze. Not far away, Skirk was trimming the lawn.]
["Master, Beelzebul claims she wishes to see you."]
[Asmodeus suddenly appeared, bringing Raiden Ei's request for an audience.]
["Mm, I know."]
["Let her come over."]
[Before long, Raiden Ei appeared before Su Bai.]
[After bowing, Su Bai waved his hand, and a chair appeared before Raiden Ei.]
["What is it? Sit down and speak."]
["Thank you, Lord Su Bai.", Raiden Ei said respectfully.]
[She obediently sat on the chair with her legs together.]
["I have come this time to ask Lord Su Bai how our Inazuma's Electro Elemental Dragon can sense the ley lines and obtain a Vision."]
["After all, other Archons have Elemental Dragons, and we in Inazuma also wish to have an Elemental Dragon Lord of our own."]
[Raiden Ei's attitude was very straightforward, directly expressing her thoughts.]
["This expedition also requires the participation of Elemental Dragon Lords. If Inazuma cannot send an Elemental Dragon Lord, we truly won't be able to hold our heads high in front of the other Archons."]
["Moreover, she truly holds deep respect for you, praying to you every day. You see..."]
["Oh, you..."] Su Bai was amused by Raiden Ei's straightforwardness.
[At least from her appearance, her attire might be a bit rustic, but who would have thought Raiden Ei was so straightforward?]
["The Electro Elemental Dragon is too timid."]
["If she had a bit more courage to face difficulties, there would be no problem."]
["So that's how it is!"]
[Raiden Ei suddenly understood and planned to go back and test the Electro Elemental Dragon's courage, hoping to help her obtain a Vision before Nahida's expedition.]
[However, Raiden Ei, having received her answer, did not intend to leave.]
[It was a rare opportunity to have a private audience with Su Bai, and she still had many questions she wanted to ask.]
["Lord Su Bai, in order to create the Teyvat World."]
["You cut off the reproduction of humans without Visions, and many people in Inazuma are very dissatisfied with this."]
["I'm a bit unsure how to better resolve this matter."]
[To prevent the Teyvat World from continuously having people who couldn't obtain Visions, there was a very special rule in the Heavenly Principles' order.]
[People without Visions would not produce offspring. If only one party did not have a Vision, no offspring would be born.]
[Offspring born to two individuals who both possessed Visions would directly have a congenital Vision at birth.]
[This rule was indeed very difficult for people without Visions to accept.]
[But they had no other choice.]
[After Teyvat ascended, Vision holders became much more powerful than before. If ordinary people wanted to cause trouble, no matter what they did, they could not defeat Vision holders.]
["If you want to solve it, then solve it. If you don't want to solve it, it doesn't matter."]
Su Bai smiled, "People without Visions are inherently meant to be eliminated; there's nothing more to say."
"Of course, with your eloquence, it is indeed quite difficult to handle this matter."
"You can also learn from the other Archons; they all give hope to these people without Visions."
"Most of Liyue's citizens view obtaining a Vision as a lifelong challenge."
"In Mondstadt and Fontaine, Venti and Furina used their personal eloquence to tell their citizens about the reincarnation of Visions."
"Although the citizens appear to experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, they are actually just losing their memories and continuing their cultivation in other worlds. They will eventually return to Teyvat one day and be able to recover all their previous memories. At that time, they will meet again in their former homeland."
"What truly makes humans jump is never the matter itself, but the despair of seeing no hope."
"Hope?" Raiden Ei murmured, repeating the word.
"Mm, but this kind of thing is difficult for you, Ei, to say, and you can't explain it clearly."
"When you encounter something you can't solve, let those around you help you do it."
"In Inazuma, you still have your close friend Yae Miko. Besides her, there are the Kamisato siblings, and Sangonomiya Kokomi of Watatsumi Island."
"They are all good."
"Some Gnosis holders are very excellent; you need to observe more."
