Chapter 352

Takumi and the others stayed in Inazuma for a few days.

Many things had been discussed between Takumi, Keqing, and Kamisato Ayato. Liyue and Inazuma would cooperate deeply from now on. They would do their best to help Inazuma recover its economy.

After several contracts were signed, Ayato immediately ordered an official announcement to be made, detailing the cooperation with Liyue, the opening of factories, and the launch of major infrastructure projects.

Upon seeing the news, the people of Inazuma were pleasantly surprised. This meant more opportunities for employment and financial growth. Even some wandering samurai returned home, seeking jobs to support their families. With work available, few would choose a life of wandering.

Under these circumstances, all of Inazuma became lively. The announcement not only gave the people hope but also attracted many foreign merchants who saw great business potential. This was a major economic shift.

In addition to these efforts, Takumi also introduced advanced farming equipment, such as harvesters and cultivators, to the Kamisato Clan. He personally trained people on how to operate them. These machines would help revive Inazuma's agricultural sector.

Takumi and his companions stayed in Inazuma for more than a week. Keqing and the others took the opportunity to explore many places, visiting notable sites in the region. Unfortunately, there were no festivals at the time, or the experience would have been even more vibrant.

Meanwhile, Beidou's ship was loaded with a massive haul of Electro Crystals. This time, they had completely cleared out the mined crystals in Inazuma. Despite the sheer quantity, the Electro Crystals only occupied a third of the ship's storage, with the rest filled with various other minerals. Beidou was thrilled, as this was a highly profitable haul.

With everything packed, Beidou contacted Takumi to inform him that she was ready to set sail. There was nothing more of interest to keep them in Inazuma. 

Takumi and the others had no objections. When the time came to bid farewell to Kamisato Ayato, they prepared to return to Liyue. Perhaps they would visit again in the future.

Knowing that Takumi and his group were leaving, Kamisato Ayaka didn't hold them back too much. She understood that Takumi was a busy person.

"Takumi, when you have the chance in the future, come visit Inazuma again," Ayaka said.

"Right now, there are still many unresolved matters here. Once Inazuma fully recovers, we would love to have you return."

Hearing her words, Takumi nodded.

"Of course, I will."

If the opportunity arose, he would definitely visit again.

With that, their agreement was made, and they parted ways.

The same number of people that had arrived in Inazuma were now departing, plus one more. Yoimiya had decided to travel to Liyue this time, bringing several containers filled with fireworks. These fireworks had been ordered by merchants in Liyue. 

Yoimiya's business skills had improved significantly. She frequently checked her phone, managing her sales online. Takumi understood her strategy—she was selling fireworks directly through online platforms, asking potential buyers if they were interested. Seeing the post, Liyuean merchants immediately placed large orders.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yoimiya planned to visit Liyue. If possible, she even considered establishing a fireworks factory there. After all, Liyue was a major consumer of fireworks. 

As everyone boarded the ship, Beidou ordered preparations to set sail. The retractable deck began closing, and the ship slowly started its journey toward Liyue.

The people of Inazuma watched the ship disappear into the distance, feeling emotional. When this ship had arrived, the outlying islands had been bustling with merchants. Now, as the ship departed, it left a lasting economic impact on the region.

Business was thriving. Liyuean goods had been transported in large quantities to Inazuma, and merchants from all over had quickly bought and resold them. One of the most popular goods was Diluc's wine—ten full containers had sold out in just three days. This shipment had made Diluc a huge profit, further fueling his ambitions to acquire his own ship.

It wasn't just Diluc. Many other merchants who had brought goods to Inazuma had also profited immensely. Even though Inazuma had suffered economic hardships, there were still wealthy individuals who could afford to buy luxury goods. The demand was there.

If they returned in the future, it was likely that even more merchants would join them.

Upon arriving in Liyue, Lumine stayed close to Takumi. During their time in Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun's shadow frequently followed Takumi, hardly leaving his side. This made Keqing a bit speechless. To those who didn't know better, it might have seemed like Takumi and Lumine were in a relationship.

The Shogun seemed rather clingy. Not to mention, she had a strong sweet tooth.

Indeed, just as Takumi had suspected, the three Archons were rather unreliable individuals. He couldn't help but wonder if the other gods were the same.

Keqing's thoughts on the gods had drastically changed.

The Anemo Archon was a lazy drunkard.

The Geo Archon had retired and barely interacted with people.

The Electro Archon had turned into a reclusive shut-in.

The Dendro Archon was rumored to be a young girl, but little was known about her.

As for the remaining gods, who knew what they were like?

If the three Archons she had met were any indication, the others were probably just as eccentric.

Teyvat seemed hopeless.

Perhaps the gods should retire early.

This was exactly what Keqing was thinking at that moment.

Meanwhile, Takumi continued his daily routine of injecting the life force of the Herrscher of Death into Raiden Ei's consciousness. During their time in Inazuma, he had done this consistently every day. Even if he forgot, Lumine would remind him, ensuring he didn't miss a session.

She was always keeping an eye on him, determined to help her sister.

This made Takumi feel a little helpless.

Thankfully, at least she didn't watch over him at night.

Otherwise, dealing with her would have been a hassle.

Raiden Ei watched Takumi complete the daily process once again.

She looked at him with anticipation and asked:

"How is it now?"

"It's been so long—my sister should be fine by now, right?"

During this time, Takumi had injected life force into the sword every day. Surely, the process was nearing completion?

How much longer would it take for her sister to be revived?

Ei could feel the presence of her sister growing stronger and stronger.

The sword now radiated a powerful aura—her sister's essence was unmistakable.

If someone familiar with Raiden Makoto were here, they would be shocked.

Had the Thunder God truly turned into a sword?

It was an unbelievable sight.

Even the old sages would be dumbfounded.
