Su Yuan and his group were currently discussing one thing: should they first deal with the matter concerning Cloud Retainer, or should they prioritize finding a way to destroy the Geo Archon’s throne, so that Zhongli wouldn’t fall into Eerie state so easily?
After all, with soone like Cloud Retainer—a clear and unstable factor—what if she suddenly interfered or caused trouble while they were focused on destroying the Geo Archon’s throne?
That would be a serious problem...
However, the ssage on the palm of his right hand also warned them not to seek out Cloud Retainer on Mt. Aocang before making thorough preparations...
The way that sentence was phrased—it almost made Cloud Retainer seem like the ultimate boss of the Liyue region...
And then there’s the question of what exactly counts as being "fully prepared."
How should "thorough preparation" even be defined or explained?
Does it an having the strength to completely overpower an Eerie state Cloud Retainer?
Or perhaps being confident in their ability to retreat unscathed if unexpected situations arise?
After a long discussion, Su Yuan and his companions still couldn’t co up with a clear answer...
"Ahem... ahem..." Su Yuan cleared his throat softly and ca up with an idea.
"Since none of us know what to do, how about we flip a coin!"
"If it lands heads up, we’ll deal with Zhongli’s Eerie state first... if it’s tails, we’ll head to Mt. Aocang and take care of Cloud Retainer!"
And since they were in Teyvat, naturally, the coin in question would be a Mora...
Su Yuan looked at Zhongli—this guy definitely wouldn’t be carrying any Mora...
So, Su Yuan turned his gaze toward Tartaglia.
He would definitely have so Mora on him...
Su Yuan took a Mora coin that Tartaglia handed over, and imdiately tossed it into the air—
But at the sa ti, Tartaglia spoke up:
"Su Yuan, as far as I know... both sides of a Mora coin look exactly the sa. There’s no heads or tails. Your so-called idea doesn’t even work..."
As Su Yuan stared blankly, the tossed Mora fell back down, bounced twice on the ground, and—by pure chance—got stuck standing upright in the crack between two floor tiles...
Su Yuan didn’t even know what to say—what an unexpected outco...
It seed that, between "heads or tails," the coin had chosen "or" instead...
Just as Su Yuan was about to bend down to pick up the Mora, another hand reached out first and picked it up before he could.
"Leaving your decision to the whims of chance... What a childish move," ca a voice.
"Looks like your heart is full of confusion and uncertainty right now, big brother..."
Su Yuan looked up and saw a young boy with light blue hair—he couldn’t be more than ten years old, judging by his appearance.
The boy handed the Mora he had just picked up back to Su Yuan.
As for what he had just said—well, it sounded exactly like the kind of dramatic line a child his age would co up with...
"Big brother, you shouldn’t worry about things that are so distant and complicated. Just focus on what’s right in front of you for now!"
The light-blue-haired little boy said nothing more and simply turned around and left, leaving Su Yuan standing there completely dumbfounded...
"Hey, Zhongli, Tartaglia, what do you think that boy ant by what he said just now?"
Su Yuan turned to Zhongli and Tartaglia and asked:
"’Focus on what’s right in front of you’—does that an sothing’s about to happen around here?"
"Little boy?" Tartaglia reached out and touched Su Yuan’s forehead with a puzzled look.
"Su Yuan, are you feeling okay? What little boy? I didn’t see anyone at all."
"Indeed. I didn’t see any little boy either," Zhongli added.
Su Yuan suddenly found himself unable to make sense of the situation.
What had just happened?
That boy was clearly right in front of them—how could neither Zhongli nor Tartaglia have seen him?
As Su Yuan thought more carefully, the boy’s face felt oddly familiar sohow... but he just couldn’t quite recall who it was.
"Su Yuan, maybe you’re just under too much stress lately—you might be seeing things. Should we find a place for you to rest a bit?" Tartaglia asked with concern.
"Watch out—danger! Fall back!" Zhongli suddenly shouted, pushing both Tartaglia and Su Yuan backward!
At that mont, the ground in front of them suddenly shattered from below, and a massive figure erged before their eyes!
"That’s... a Primo Geovishap..." Zhongli frowned slightly as he looked at the towering creature before them.
"Could it be that after Azhdaha’s death, the throne of the Geo Dragon Sovereign was left vacant..."
Zhongli murmured thoughtfully:
"As a creature that stands near the pinnacle of geo-elental lifeforms, this Primo Geovishap must have sensed the blood of the Geo Dragon within you, Su Yuan. Perhaps it has co to seize it—so that it can ascend and beco the next Geo Dragon Sovereign?"
"No, it’s not that simple!" Tartaglia’s body surged with battle energy, clearly eager for a fight, as he spoke up, "I can feel it—faint, but definitely there. This Primo Geovishap carries the presence of Eerie power!"
"If I rember correctly, the Primo Geovishap of Liyue should be on the sa level as the Emperor of Fire and Iron from Fontaine!"
"Last ti, I nearly lost to the Emperor of Fire and Iron. But this ti—after undergoing Master Skirk’s hellish training—I absolutely won’t fall behind again!!!"
Tartaglia was brimming with fighting spirit as he declared:
"I will win!!!"
"Don’t interfere, any of you. Let have an all-out, exhilarating battle with this Primo Geovishap!!!"
Su Yuan watched everything unfold with a serious expression.
Even though Zhongli and Tartaglia couldn’t see that strange little boy, what he had spoken of—"sothing right in front of them needing to be dealt with"—had indeed co true.
Now the real question was: how did this Primo Geovishap get tainted by Eerie power?
While they couldn’t keep blaming everything on Dottore... releasing Eerie power deep underground, and using it to corrupt a Primo Geovishap... sure sounded like sothing he would do.
After all, back in Fontaine and Inazuma, hadn’t Dottore already done plenty of inhuman things?
Su Yuan turned to look at Tartaglia, now fully clad in his Foul Legacy armor, locked in fierce combat with the Primo Geovishap!
After undergoing such brutal training, even without relying on his Delusion, Tartaglia’s current form—focusing solely on the Foul Legacy—was already faster, stronger, and more precise than before...
And against a creature like this—mindless, corrupted and controlled by Eerie power—he was handling it with ease, not falling behind in the slightest.
But... if this was the only issue they had to deal with, wasn’t it a little too simple?
Very quickly, Su Yuan sensed sothing was wrong.
He suddenly shouted toward Zhongli:
"Zhongli, sothing’s seriously wrong!!!"
"This Primo Geovishap might not be the only one corrupted by Eerie power—there could be countless Geovishap and Geovishap Hatchling as well!!!"
