Chapter 1103: Kong Becomes the Strange Savior
"ah?"
After Sora and Paimon climbed Mt. Kagemukai and arrived at the Narugami Taisha Shrine, they happened to see a group of people having a picnic in a cherry blossom forest outside the Narugami Taisha Shrine.
"So Miaki came to Inazuma, but in a sense, it can also be considered that he didn't come. Is that what you mean?"
Sora sat next to a few people, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Well, in Inazuma's journey, Yingxiang Mountain is our last stop, so naturally we also intend to wait for him here."
Zhongli nodded slowly: "I am very clear about the clash of wills. Even for the Lord of Skylight who has realized the new eternity, it will be difficult to end the battle as soon as possible."
"However, according to what the little fox Shen Zi said, Ying had already made sufficient preparations for this battle and was sure of victory. Ni Zi's arrival was to achieve the conditions for 'perfection'."
Kong nodded: "Ah, I know this. After all, Sanqiu is indeed a bit involved in the past eternity."
Zhongli explained: "In fact, according to what was revealed by the Naruto Shrine, before the battle began, Ying had already successfully entered the alternate dimension once and saw... the backup plan that was left behind."
"And the information we learned about the abnormal flow of time in that different space and the fact that willpower played a large role in it was also from Ying's mouth."
Let’s not talk about the abnormal flow of time for now.
If a battle breaks out in a space where willpower plays a major role, and the two sides in the battle are Ying and Sanqiu...
It seemed that Kong already knew what was wrong with the feeling he had vaguely sensed.
"Mr. Zhongli, may I ask if anyone from the Narugami Taisha Shrine is here now?"
Zhongli frowned: "Of course, what did you find?"
Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Please ask the people from Narukami Taisha to come over. The situation may be slightly different from what you guessed."
"If my guess is correct, if we, as the 'external forces', don't take action, Sanqiu and the others may never get out."
"Unless the alien space can't withstand their battle and collapses. However, judging from the intelligence you have obtained, this possibility may not exist."
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that if Liyue or Inazuma suffered a great disaster, they could be awakened by willpower and return, but you probably don't want to see this."
Wendy was surprised: "This..."
Zhongli pondered for a moment, then glanced at Hu Tao, who was beginning to become worried again, and nodded.
"Please ask them to come over."
Five minutes later, everyone arrived at the meeting hall of Naruto-taisha Shrine. Kong stood at the main seat and explained the basis of his speculation to everyone.
"To put it simply, there is a certain amount of misunderstanding between you all, as well as extreme trust."
Sora said, "You both have a very high level of trust in Tianguang Zhizhi from Inazuma's side and Sanqiu from Liyue's side, but that's where the problem lies."
"You don't know Sanqiu, and Mr. Zhongli also doesn't know the ruler of Inazuma."
Kong frowned and thought, "Sanqiu once told me something about Inazuma's rule when we were having dinner together. From this point of view, he at least knows more than you, Mr. Zhongli."
"As for Sanqiu, I won't talk about him. I still know him very well."
Albedo nodded: "So, based on the logic that they are fighting in a different dimension, you can find some problems from the personality traits of the two people?"
What’s going on? When did Kong know Sanqiu so well?
Logically speaking, even if someone could really spot the problem, maybe it should be me?
Oh, I remember now.
Miaki didn't seem to mention much to me about Inazuma's ruling party, and there was a serious lack of actual data to base his argument on.
"Yes, that's right."
Sora said, "Since that alternate dimension is quite special in terms of time and will, this is just one way of saying it."
"Is there a possibility that in that alien space, there exists a mysterious power that can inspire their own willpower?"
"Since that was the backup plan prepared by the previous Inazuma to take power, there must be some mystery in it, but the problem is that Sanqiu ran into it."
"Once they met, the two completely different but very similar ideas at the end actually began to collide."
Sora shook his head. "If we put aside the boring controversial question of 'Who is stronger between Liyue and Inazuma?' and the question that will never come to a conclusion, things will become clear."
"After the one from Inazuma determined his eternal path, will she and Miaki start fighting again because they want to see whose path is better and can lead the people into the future?"
"Forget about strength, and compete with pure desire and will."
"Different paths lead to the same destination. They are both individuals with great local prestige and dominance. Their paths have similar shortcomings, but it is destined that no one will win in a short period of time."
Everyone:?
Hu Zhaigong took a deep puff of his pipe and said, "Brother Kong, this is just your guess, what is the basis for it?"
She just needed some more convincing evidence now, because she also began to believe what Kong said, and now she urgently needed evidence.
Sora smiled bitterly: "The evidence is the personalities of those two."
"To put it nicely, it means moving forward courageously. To put it bluntly, it means being stubborn and obstinate. Once you have made up your mind about something, no one can change your mind."
"If it were someone else, they would naturally not cause any complications after solving the problem, but they would not do that."
"Moreover, from what I know, Sanqiu seems to be in a critical period of rebuilding his emotions, so he probably won't act as appropriately as before."
"To sum it up simply, they won't come out unless they decide who wins, but there's a good chance that the so-called winner won't be determined at all."
The expressions on both Liyue and Inazuma's faces became even uglier.
Whether it was Inazuma's Eye Hunting Order and the Locking Country Order, or Gu Sanqiu's repeated brink of death, they were enough to prove Kong's words.
Kitsaigong exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "My Lord, the ruler of Liyue, my man is exactly the same as what Brother Kong said."
Zhongli nodded: "It is the same with us."
Many brothers flexed their wrists at the same time, and then checked the various alchemical instruments they carried with them.
It’s amazing how many teachers anticipate that they might have something to do.
"The question now is how should we find Sanqiu and the others."
Yae Shenzi immediately stood up and said, "Please follow me, we know how to contact that alien space."
Sora was puzzled: "Can we contact directly?"
"No, it's just a medium, a symbolic link that represents that space still belongs to Teyvat."
Yae Shinto led everyone to a hidden cave.
"Should I say it or not, it really feels like fate is guiding me."
"This symbolic link to the alternate dimension was built not long ago, and the connection between them was also stable after the initial test. Then we received another speculation that we had never thought of."
"As for the method, there is actually a way that can be used. I wonder if you have some items that are deeply related to them."
