An unknown place.

The darkness is pervasive, deep and mysterious, it's like an eternal night, you can't see your fingers, as if there are monsters hiding in the darkness all the time.

However, if you look closely, you can find spots of light emerging all around.

From a distance, it looks like stars are twinkling, and one eye after another is peering at this land.

There is a platform made of some kind of stone bricks in the middle, and there are some weird patterns on it that can't be seen clearly.

High on the platform, a solitary throne floated quietly in the air, and sitting on it was a blond girl.

"..."

The girl frowned slightly and tapped the armrest with her fingers regularly, as if she was thinking about something.

Just looking at the appearance, it is difficult to connect the girl's delicate face and white decoration with the strange surrounding environment. However, at this moment, the two are so strangely mixed together.

The white clothes are connected to the black throne. The girl's face seems to have no emotion, she just looks silently in a certain direction.

Suddenly, a burst of blue light flashed, and then, a dark blue Abyss Mage appeared on the platform.

"your Highness..."

The Abyss Mage lowered his head respectfully and spoke to the girl on the throne.

"..."

Hearing this, the girl stopped moving her fingers and looked down at the Abyss Mage below expressionlessly.

"The gem placed in Liyue Port was discovered by the immortal... and the people we placed in the port encountered unexpected obstacles."

Obstacle...

If he can discover the chess piece they planted in [Abyss], then this person is definitely not a small player.

"Iwagami?"

The girl spoke softly, her voice was soft, but she sounded so cold.

"Your Highness's concerns are reasonable, but they are not true..." Master Abyss shook his head, and then said: "According to our speculation, the person who took action is most likely an alchemist who specializes in spiritual power in Liyue Port..."

"And, according to our further investigation, the most likely target is Shi Bai, the contemporary head of the Liyue Port alchemist family."

The Abyss Master waved his staff, and a mirror made of water elements suddenly appeared, showing Shi Bai's appearance.

"Shi Bai...?"

The girl had no impression of this man.

In other words...the head of the Alchemist family is not qualified enough to leave any impression in her heart.

"In addition, the gem seems to have been discovered by the immortal [Zhenjun of Gechenlang City] who lives in Liyue Port all year round. We found a scent suspected of being her at the scene."

"Since the immortals have discovered the gem, then..."

The Abyss Mage did not hesitate, and then spoke: "Your Highness, should we start the plan?"

Hearing the word "plan", the surrounding "stars" opened their eyes one after another and looked towards the throne high in the sky.

They are like watchers one after another, observing everything.

"..."

The girl pondered for a moment, then waved her right hand lightly, and the dark power surged out like it covered the sky, forcing the "stars" who had just opened their eyes to close.

These "stars" seemed to have no resistance, disappearing one after another under the girl's power, as if they had never appeared.

"The aura from the other world back then has completely disappeared...and now, the rock god Morax has made a big move. It is not appropriate for us to take action at this time."

The girl spoke slowly and in a calm tone.

This girl is also a visitor from another world, so she is extremely aware of the uncontrollable changes [travelers from another world] will bring to her plan...and the plan of the abyss.

Therefore, more than ten years ago, when she first discovered this aura emerging in Liyue Port, she sent out monsters from the abyss to kill them.

That aura was first noticed by them in the famous Ning family in Liyue, so the place where the abyss monster went was also the Ning family...

That period was also the first time Ningzhe met Ning Yu and visited the Ning family.

Coincidentally, after the destruction of the Ning family, the aura from the other world disappeared.

But just in case, she still placed a gem that could only be detected by [Immortal] and above on the ruins of the Ning family to observe and monitor.

At this time, to her, even if the gem was discovered, it didn't matter.

After all, the aura of the other world has completely disappeared, and what's left is no longer important.

"As for the plan... there is no need to start it until new clues are discovered."

The girl's tone was calm and she settled everything in an understatement.

"Yes. I will obey your will, Your Highness."

After hearing the girl's words, Master Abyss bowed respectfully again.

However, after finishing speaking, Master Abyss did not leave, but stood there and hesitated for a moment.

"in addition..."

After organizing his words, Master Abyss spoke again: "An extremely strong spiritual power erupted in Liyue Port. According to the intelligence, the owner of this spiritual power is most likely a young man named Ningzhe."

Ningzhe?

She has some impressions of this person...

He seems to be the younger brother of Liyue's contemporary Tianquan Xing Ningguang, and he is also a well-known novelist in mainland China... Frankly speaking, the girl herself has read some of his works.

Hmm... The idea is very innovative, and it's good to use it for entertainment.

As for his mental strength... without qualified weapons, he still cannot pose a threat.

"There is no need to pay special attention to this matter. He is just a mortal with extraordinary talents..."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing that his immediate superior had said so, Master Abyss had no choice but to agree.

"..."

"So...have you found [him]?"

After a moment of silence, the girl on the throne spoke again.

The tone is still cold, but you can feel a faint tremor in it.

"...The action of that adult is somewhat different from what we expected. He has woken up and set foot on the land of Mondstadt."

Knowing who [he] was in the girl's words, the Abyss Mage lowered his head a little more, not daring to look at the girl's expression.

"But..." Then, the Abyss Mage added: "These small changes will not affect the Lord's travel, so our order in Mondstadt..."

"Shut up."

Suddenly, there was a sense of pressure like a god on the throne, and the words that the Abyss Mage had not yet spoken were swallowed in his mouth.

At the same time, the water element mirror generated by the staff also dissipated suddenly at the same time.

"Yes, it was my subordinate who overstepped his bounds..."

Amid this sense of oppression, the Abyss Mage forced himself up and spoke with difficulty.

"..."

The next moment, as the girl waved her hand gently, the power exerted on the Abyss Mage quietly dissipated.

"Thank you for your kindness..."

After breaking away from that power, the Abyss Mage stood his staff on the platform and exhaled.

"If you have nothing else to report, just step down."

When the Abyss Mage raised his head again, the girl on the throne was covered with a layer of black mist that made it difficult to see her face.
