People had come from all kinds of worlds. But now, everyone was gathered together. Although they were from different races and different worlds, the very fact that they could meet was fate.
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, and for a moment, everyone was filled with joy.
Takumi also clinked glasses with Zhongli.
"Old man, what do you plan to do when you go back?"
"Your power now has already completely surpassed Celestia."
Takumi turned to Zhongli. Hearing this, Zhongli took a sip of his drink and replied, "I'm planning to go back and talk with Barbatos and the others. If Teyvat sinks, it's just a matter of time. Celestia can't protect it forever."
The False Sky was created to protect Teyvat. Zhongli planned to talk with the other Seven Archons. When the time came, they could just relocate. He would ask if they wanted to come to Takumi's world. No point staying there—it was too dangerous.
Takumi was taken aback. "You're thinking of having the other nations move too?"
He was surprised Zhongli had this idea.
"You need people, don't you? If only Liyue comes, it'll be too lonely."
Takumi needed people, and he'd never refuse anyone who wanted to come. Since that was the case, they could discuss it with the Seven Archons. When the time came, they could all just move house.
Now that Zhongli could overpower Celestia, if Teyvat was in danger, they could just survive somewhere else. If Teyvat sank, so be it. He didn't care anymore—he'd even found a new place here in Takumi's world. When Liyue was built, he could finally retire completely. However Liyue developed after that would be up to them; he would only watch from the shadows.
Now, Zhongli already had a good idea of what he should do next—and how Liyue should develop.
"Move everyone from Teyvat?"
"If you do that, won't Celestia in your world object?"
Suoh Mikoto spoke up. If Zhongli emptied out Teyvat and left just an empty shell, Celestia would be the first to get angry.
"It's fine. She can't do anything anymore."
Zhongli didn't care at all. With Takumi's help, what did he have to worry about? No big deal. Besides, he was strong enough now, anyway.
Suoh Mikoto shrugged at this. Well, being strong does mean you don't have to worry.
"What about you, Suoh? How are things in your world? With your strength now, you must be one of the strongest, right?"
Takumi looked at Suoh Mikoto with interest. Suoh had already powered up once, right?
"Lately I've been lucky. I got 100 points a few times on check-in, and I've powered up once. I'm the strongest in my world now, but I don't have much ambition. I just want to live peacefully with my clan."
Suoh Mikoto had no big ambitions—he just wanted his clan to live well. Even if the other Kings caused trouble, he didn't care. He was strong enough now to handle most things.
"Why not move to my world, then? If you want a peaceful life, I can make that happen."
Immigrate, then!
Suoh Mikoto could only smile wryly. Takumi really would never give up a chance to invite people to immigrate.
"No thanks. I think my world is pretty good. I'm not moving for now. If it ever gets too tough, maybe I'll come over."
He was still doing fine for now. Besides, he was still one of the seven Kings. So, it didn't matter whether he switched worlds or not.
Takumi looked a little disappointed but said nothing more.
At that moment, Kaguya came over. "What if I moved over? The whole Gensokyo together!"
Kaguya suddenly made this suggestion to Takumi. He was a little surprised.
"What's up? Got an idea?"
Moving the whole Gensokyo? Could she even make that call? Maybe someone else had asked her to check?
"Yakumo Yukari, that old witch, has been bothering me ever since she found out what I've been up to. It was her fault I missed out on the last task in the group!"
Kaguya gritted her teeth in frustration. She'd missed out on millions of points thanks to Yukari. How could she not be angry? Still, she explained everything Yukari had told her.
"You know Gensokyo's situation best. Because of how the outside world has developed, there are hardly any youkai left. Even the gods are struggling. That's why, when Yukari found out I could go to other worlds, she started plotting."
Kaguya laid out the real reason. After hearing it, Takumi raised an eyebrow.
"I see. So Yukari wants to move Gensokyo somewhere better?"
He understood now. They wanted a better place to live. Otherwise, in a few hundred years, there'd be no land for youkai to survive in Gensokyo.
No wonder Yukari was tempted.
"Exactly! What do you think?"
Kaguya nodded. She still didn't like Yukari much, but she fully supported moving. Takumi's world was way more exciting than Gensokyo. She was just moving to a new den to keep being a shut-in. She had no objections at all.
"I have no problem with it. I can give you your own territory to manage. No big deal!"
If they wanted to come, Takumi would welcome them. There was no reason to refuse. He might even build a netherworld and put Shiki Loli in charge.
The more Takumi thought about it, the more he liked the idea.
Kaguya nodded. "Alright! I'll go talk to her. I'll have her come talk to you herself. And you'd better give her a hard time!"
Thinking of this, Kaguya grit her teeth again, then picked up her glass and gulped down her drink. If she hadn't been annoyed by Yukari, she might have earned another ten thousand points to strengthen herself!
Ugh, the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.
Watching Kaguya drink, Takumi's mouth twitched. Hopefully she wouldn't just collapse later. Did she think this was weak liquor?
This was part of Ichiryu's rare wine collection, after all.
