The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Chapter 123: An inexplicable gathering

In my current physical condition, I am only one step away from death.

Luo Mu raised his stiff arm and weakly covered the unbroken half of his face with it.

He couldn't tell whether he was lucky or unlucky. When he was about to die, he met Bai Shu and Qi Qi, and learned the entire plan of the fortune teller and the abyss. The death of the Emperor was confirmed. Except for Kamisato Ayato and Yae Shinko, whose purposes were still unclear, almost all the secrets of Liyue's undercurrents were revealed to him.

But he was going to die...

No, if he focused on recuperating and did not insist on returning to Liyue, with the careful care of Bai Zhu and Qi Qi, and the help of the system, he might not die, but his strength would inevitably be greatly reduced.

And... can Liyue, who is still in the dark, really withstand this chaos? The God of Rock, played by the fortune teller...

Luo Mu didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had just experienced firsthand how bad this projection's personality was. For him to become a god ruling over a country, it would definitely be a disaster even if the abyss was controlling him from behind.

Besides, being controlled by the Abyss is not a good thing in itself...

No, I have to go back, at least to let Ying and the others be prepared... Luo Mu made up his mind, pushed himself up with his right hand, and tried to stand up, but his legs were like two stiff logs, not under his conscious control. With a puff, Luo Mu fell heavily back into the meadow.

"Don't move!" Bai Zhu hurriedly supported Luo Mu and let him lie down flat. Qiqi opened the fairy magic field at the side, and a refreshing cold air poured into Luo Mu's body, easing the pain all over his body.

"Luo Mu, don't move, you will die." Qiqi said, and for the first time her dazed expression revealed a hint of anxiety.

She didn't want Luo Mu to die. What Qiqi felt from this boy was kindness without prejudice or purpose. This was a feeling she hadn't had for a long time in her long life.

"Child, your physical condition is worse than you think." Bai Zhu warned solemnly: "We can only be regarded as piecing your body together, but... many organs have lost their original effectiveness. They are completely dependent on my elemental power for support. If Qiqi and I leave, or withdraw the elemental power, you will die immediately!"

Luo Mu smiled bitterly in silence. He thought about asking Qiqi and Bai Shu to bring the news back to Liyue for him, but Bai Shu's words made him completely lose hope.

He could pass the news back to Liyue, but if he did so, he would surely die.

If it were in the past, Luo Mu would have chosen to sacrifice himself without hesitation and let Bai Zhu and Qi Qi fight for that glimmer of hope for Liyue, but after experiencing so many things, Luo Mu hesitated.

In Liyue City, there is his favorite girl, his new friends, and the hustle and bustle of the city that makes him happiest. Of course, he wants to save this city, but at the cost of his own life...

He is not willing!

The reason why he jumped into the water so decisively and risked his life to save the child who fell into the water was not only because he did not expect that he would die as a result, but also because: there was nothing in that world that he cared about. Death severed the rope connecting Luo Mu to the world, but he did not necessarily care much.

But now, he loves more and more things, and cares about more and more things. They are like ties that tightly bind Luo Mu to the world. Death means giving up all of these and falling into the darkness of loneliness alone...

He could die, but he had to die knowingly. He had to know that his death had indeed saved the blonde girl, that his death would be remembered by Liyue, and that his death had indeed brought a better future to the one he loved...

The fortune teller did instill something into his mind, that is, a meaningful death is nothing to a dead person, and what can truly comfort the dead is to let him know that his death is meaningful.

"I know there must be Seven Stars spies nearby. Don't hide. I'm going to die." Luo Mu used his last bit of strength to shout out these incomprehensible words.

Since I gambled once, I might as well gamble again.

Bai Zhu touched his head in confusion, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"So you are..." He smiled and shook his head.

The footsteps came closer and closer, and Wuyan, dressed in shorts, walked out from the shadow of Wuwangpo. He looked at Luomu, who was already at the end of his strength, with vigilance.

"Where are your companions and Xingqiu?" he asked in a deep voice.

From the moment they arrived at Wuwangpo, Wuyan followed Ningguang's instructions and secretly kept a close eye on Luomu and his group, but he didn't know about the fortune teller, so he only saw the white mist coming and then suddenly dissipated soon after. Only Luomu and Baishu and Qiqi who had hurried over were left in front of him, while Ying and Xingqiu were nowhere to be seen.

Of course, the fortune teller didn't know that there was actually an owner of the Eye of God who was secretly watching them. The deception and grafting and teleportation didn't take Wuyan's side into consideration at all, resulting in the current situation.

"Oh my, it's so lively here." Just when Luo Mu was relieved to see the spy appear, an unexpected female voice suddenly sounded on the other side. He turned his head with difficulty in surprise and saw the beautiful Lady Yaenomiya walking towards him in neat steps. Behind her, Aya was holding Wu Wen, who was full of shame, and looked helpless.

"Hello, little guy from Mond." Yae Shenzi smiled slightly and nodded to Luomu. Without saying a word, he hooked Wu Wen from Lingren's hand and lightly tapped his eyebrows with his fingers. Wu Wen shuddered instantly and was freed from the predicament of his stiff limbs.

"What kind of rules are these?" Looking at the Wuwangpo which suddenly became lively, even someone as mysterious as Bai Shu was a little confused.

"To put it simply, this little guy followed us, and after we discovered him, we used him to find this place." Shen Zi pointed at a gleaming crystal on Wu Wen's chest with a smile: "You spies use the resonance of this special rock to determine each other's location, right?"

Kamisato Ayato smiled apologetically at Wu Yan who was glaring at him.

"We don't quite understand what's going on here, so we'd like to trouble the special envoy to explain it to us." Ayato said to the stunned Luo Mu.

"Uh... okay, here's what happened..."

Luomu, who was somewhat shocked by the appearance of the Son of God and Ayato, explained the whole story to everyone present. Except for some secrets that could not be revealed, such as the actual situation of Void Wanzang and Rock God, Luomu told everyone about the upcoming attack of the Osel clan on Liyue.

When Luo Mu finished speaking, everyone present was silent. Only Yae Shenzi still looked mysterious, as if he had everything under control.

On the other side, Kamisato Ayato and Bai Shu both showed unclear expressions.
