Chapter 332: There Was No Choice Before, But Now I Want to Move

It had been a long time since Keqing had seen these familiar faces from Liyue.

She quickly greeted everyone warmly before beginning her explanation:

"This place was built to mirror Liyue Harbor entirely. Only a few narrow areas have been expanded slightly.

You can find housing based on the location of your old residences in Liyue Harbor.

Just pay a fee later, and everything will be set.

Also, schools and other facilities have already been established.

Soon, the Mechanized Species will arrive to issue identification cards.

Each of you will receive a terminal for this world.

When the time comes, input your identity information into it.

Remember, once your identity is recorded, it cannot be changed.

That ID will accompany you for life."

Once everyone had been released, Keqing began to explain the situation to them.

Everyone nodded in response to her words.

"Understood, Lady Keqing."

"We've got it memorized."

"We'll be sure to cooperate."

At that moment, a spatial rift opened in the sky.

One by one, the Mechanized Species began to emerge.

Seeing these cold and unfamiliar figures, the people of Liyue were stunned.

Keqing quickly explained:

"These are the Mechanized Species.

They're here to help issue your identification cards."

Hearing this, everyone was filled with curiosity.

The Mechanized Species wasted no time and got to work immediately.

Now that these robots had transformed into Mechanized Species, their capabilities had increased significantly.

They could extract terminals directly from the void.

Prometheus had long prepared methods to manufacture terminals within subspace.

Terminals were constantly being produced around the clock.

After all, with so many connected worlds, the required supply was massive.

These Mechanized Species could connect to subspace at any time to retrieve the necessary terminals, activate them, and distribute them along with recording identity data.

Once they arrived, they began working diligently.

Xingqiu and Chongyun observed these icy-looking beings with curiosity.

Were these mechanical constructs?

Without a word, the Mechanized Species handed a terminal to Xingqiu.

As soon as Xingqiu touched it, his fingerprints and retina data were instantly recorded.

"Please enter your name, gender, origin world, and residential address. Do not enter false information.

Once input, it cannot be changed."

Xingqiu was momentarily dumbfounded.

A screen appeared before him, already displaying a photo of himself.

It was like a digital form that needed to be filled out.

Fascinated, Xingqiu quickly completed the registration.

Before long, his terminal was activated.

The Mechanized Species handed it to him and left.

"That's it?"

Xingqiu was dumbfounded.

That simple?

Chongyun, standing beside him, was equally stunned.

All they needed to do was fill in some information?

Nothing else?

"Hello, Mr. Xingqiu. Artificial Intelligence Prometheus at your service."

At that moment, a holographic figure emerged from the terminal.

It was a subprogram of Prometheus.

Seeing it, Xingqiu was amazed.

With Prometheus's guidance, he began to understand how the terminal worked.

He had to admit—it was incredibly convenient.

Everyone who received a terminal began experimenting with it.

Beidou also got hers.

However, rather than tinkering with it, she sought out Keqing to ask,

"Where's Ningguang?

Isn't she here?"

Beidou was puzzled.

They had all arrived here—why wasn't Ningguang around?

"Ningguang is currently working in another area.

I'm overseeing the affairs of Liyue Harbor here.

She's helping manage another region."

Keqing explained Ningguang's role.

Apparently, Ningguang held a rather important position here.

After all, she assisted Takumi with managing many different places.

Hearing that, Beidou was astonished.

"That woman got promoted, huh?

That's impressive."

Ningguang had truly risen in rank.

Promoted after moving to another world?

Right now, she was practically second only to Takumi.

Considering how vast Takumi's world was and her involvement in its administration, her position couldn't be considered anything but high.

"Yeah.

I'm handling things here. She assists occasionally,

but her main duties are in other cities."

There was nothing to hide.

A simple check could verify this.

"Alright, I understand.

I'll look around a bit first. I'll find her later."

Beidou didn't pursue it further.

She started strolling around the new Liyue City.

And she wasn't the only one.

Everyone began exploring and getting a feel for the place.

Liyue had been revitalized with this fresh influx of people.

And this was only the first wave.

More would surely follow.

After the first batch had been transferred, Zhongli contacted Takumi.

Zhongli:

[@Takumi, could you make a trip to Teyvat?

The Seven Archons are all here now.]

The gods of Teyvat wanted a word with Takumi.

Seeing the message, Takumi paused for a moment.

But he didn't decline.

He immediately condensed a consciousness projection and sealed it in a spatial bracelet, then sent it to Zhongli.

Takumi:

[Zhongli's exclusive red envelope]

Seeing the gift, Zhongli immediately understood how Takumi was operating.

He wasn't sending his real body.

Which was honestly for the best.

Zhongli had been worried that Takumi's real presence might accidentally blow up all of Teyvat.

After all, Takumi was ridiculously powerful now.

He was nothing like the man who had first joined the group chat.

It had been less than a year since Takumi entered the group chat, and his rise in power was astonishing.

Absolutely absurd.

At the moment, Zhongli was atop Mt. Aozang.

Before a massive stone table sat a number of figures:

The Seven Archons, Furina, Yae Miko, and even Nahida.

Nahida had been brought here by Zhongli and Ei from the Akademiya.

Everyone had made their decision long ago.

They would leave Teyvat.

In the past, they had no choice.

Now, they could leave—and do so easily.

Naturally, everyone was willing.

A spatial bracelet appeared out of thin air in Zhongli's hand.

Seeing this, all the gods turned to look.

Moments later, Zhongli opened the bracelet.

Takumi's figure appeared beside him.
