"Let me think about how to put this..."
Since the Geo Archon asked, Ningguang naturally answered.
"Well... Yelan was initially acting with Lin Ze, trying to probe if he was a Descender.
Right, and then Lin Ze recognized you, stopped pretending, and revealed your identity.
He also guessed that we knew about this, and casually mentioned the Geo Archon's plan to fake his death and cede power.
But he only mentioned it briefly, without going into detail. I asked him later, but Lin Ze didn't elaborate."
Ningguang's mind raced, and in the end, without revealing the diary's contents, she managed to reconstruct the events.
Simultaneously, it hadn't triggered the diary system's attention, and he didn't feel that sense of dread.
"Then, Keqing and I pondered. Although the Geo Archon faked his death to transfer power, there would certainly be assessments. After passing the test…
Other gods might guess something, but the ordinary people of the Seven Nations wouldn't. The Seven Gods probably wouldn't reveal anything either.
Thinking about Mondstadt next door, I think Liyue must have divine-level deterrence. And Lin Ze just happened to show off that Gnosis."
"I was thinking, since that's the case, why not directly find a way to buy the Gnosis, then make it into a weapon, so Liyue doesn't fall into Mondstadt's situation.
If possible, let the Geo Archon abandon the fake death, and directly pull off a resurrection, or even rebirth."
As she spoke, Ningguang's face flushed slightly.
Although her words became more and more fluent, it sounded as if a child was reluctant to let go of their old father's hand.
Moreover, knowing that the Geo Archon was feigning death, doing this would also give people the impression that the Liyue Qixing were incompetent and couldn't cope without a god.
This made Ningguang feel both ashamed and embarrassed.
"Originally, my plan was indeed to set up a test. It wouldn't have mattered what the Liyue Qixing did after my 'death.'"
"As long as the Liyue Qixing could continue to lead Liyue forward and ensure they could overcome any difficulties, they would have passed."
"If the Liyue Qixing didn't have that ability, then perhaps I had considered things too early. I would have staged a 'rebirth' and returned to my divine position."
Perhaps being in a female form had influenced him; the Geo Archon's words were noticeably more forthcoming and gentle, and he began to explain things proactively.
"And now, the three of you have done very well."
Seeing the Geo Archon affirm their efforts, the three of them were instantly thrilled, with Ningguang quickly speaking up.
"So, the Geo Archon doesn't need to…"
Before the words could be finished, the Geo Archon raised a hand to stop them.
"I will still feign death. While it's primarily to test the Liyue Qixing, the people of Liyue are also a consideration.
However, I need to consider some new tests now, and I also need to observe Lin Ze for a while."
"Do you know how Lin Ze's Black Flag power came to be?"
"No. It seems he obtained it after arriving in Teyvat. Initially, Lin Ze himself didn't know he had this ability.
But after realizing he possessed this power, he immediately abandoned that opportunity and chose to trust in his own abilities. He arrived here practically naked."
Ningguang's lips curved into a slight smile as she spoke. When she first saw the contents of Lin Ze's diary, she almost died laughing.
Although surprised by the diary instance, Lin Ze wasn't the only one who had descended to Teyvat; it was recorded. The most famous was the witch Alice.
But among the recorded descenders, Lin Ze was the most awkward when he first arrived in Teyvat.
As for the Geo Archon's decision, the Geo Archon must have had a profound reason for doing so. Didn't the Geo Archon just say that the people of Liyue were also being assessed?
Also, the Geo Archon wasn't truly gone.
"Hmm, currently, how many people like you are there in Liyue?
What kind of people are they?"
"A lot. Most are Vision wielders, without exception, all female, and their ages vary.
It's a mixed bag, like Hu Tao, Yanfei, Yaoyao, Ping, us, Yelan..."
Very quickly, Ningguang reported the list of individuals with diary copies that Yelan had compiled.
Among them were some people who didn't possess a Vision, such as Verr Goldet and the Hundred Know Sisters.
The Geo Archon pondered for a long time, but couldn't discern any commonality.
"Can you figure out what you all have in common?"
"Yes, but I can't say."
"Can you help me create the same characteristic?"
"No."
"Even if I were to split off a female avatar now?"
"...Uncertain."
"Understood."
Nodding, the Geo Archon's form vanished from the Jade Chamber.
It seemed Ningguang and the others had many things they couldn't say, and Lin Ze wasn't eager to bring them up either.
He wanted to obtain the same... so-called opportunity, but the difficulty was even greater than imagined.
He could only wait until he saw Lin Ze again tomorrow and find a way through him, the source.

[I imagine most people haven't seen the sight of Celestia. It's quite beautiful, though a bit monotonous, lacking vibrant flora.]
[Didn't they say that people with Visions could become gods? I remember someone in Mondstadt's history succeeded. Why didn't I run into those people who became gods?]
[Oh, what have I found? A paramecium!]
[Paramecium.jpg]
"Are you insulting me, sir?"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, who had just appeared, glared at Lin Ze with ill intent. Black and crimson cubes began to coalesce in her hand.
She was called a paramecium in the diary the moment they met?!
What an insult! She, the mighty Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, could go toe-to-toe with the Seven Archons, yet Lin Ze dared to call her a paramecium?!
"So you have them too. But I wasn't insulting you, just playing along with a meme."
"I'll update the meme encyclopedia when I have time, then you'll understand."
Lin Ze wasn't surprised that The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles also had a diary instance. From what he knew, all the characters with diary instances were popular characters in Genshin Impact.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was also quite famous.
Moreover, given how the diary system worked, Lin Ze wasn't surprised at all.
"I'll believe you for now.
What are you doing on Celestia?"
A flicker of doubt crossed The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles' eyes. She chose to trust Lin Ze for the moment; otherwise, even if she couldn't defeat him, she would still try to see if he was truly invincible.
"I came to see Celestia. Back when I was crafting the Gnosis, Celestia cast down a gaze."
"I have something to discuss with the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles."
Lin Ze was quite certain that the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles wasn't actually the Heavenly Principles themselves; it was just a subordinate.
"Also, I have a question. What about those humans who ascended to godhood on Celestia?
I haven't seen a single one."
"First, promise me that you won't reveal anything you see or hear next."
