After Jiang Chen finished buying the materials, he turned to Zhongli.
"Let's go to Guili Plains."
"To Guizhong's ruins."
There was a ruin of Guili Assembly in Guili Plains.
There was even a place where Guizhong used to live.
Summoning Guizhong here would be a 100% success.
Although it was possible to summon her in Liyue Harbor, the commotion might be too big.
So, it was better to go to Guili Plains.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhongli didn't hesitate.
He directly used his power to transport everyone to the statue in Guili Plains.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was surprised.
"Is this the power of ley lines?"
Just now, Jiang Chen could feel a surge of power from underground enveloping them and instantly bringing them here.
Without a doubt, it must have been the power of ley lines, right?
Could Zhongli instantly travel to any statue in Liyue?
In reality, there might not be teleport waypoints, but the statues also had similar powers to transport people.
However, this was likely a power only gods could use.
And it was limited to a specific region.
"It's the power of ley lines."
Zhongli admitted it.
This was indeed the power of ley lines.
Ley lines were incredibly mysterious.
Not only could they store information, but they could also transport people.
It was quite miraculous.
If there was a chance in the future, Jiang Chen would definitely study them thoroughly.
Since there were no teleport waypoints in reality, he could just create them himself.
After arriving at the statue, they still had to walk for a while to reach Guizhong's ruins.
Jiang Chen suddenly acted.
He directly picked up Lumine.
Seeing this, Paimon quickly grabbed Lumine's neck.
The only one who didn't react in time was Lumine.
Was she being carried by Jiang Chen again?
The familiar feeling returned, and Lumine was stunned.
Huh?
Zhongli glanced at Jiang Chen's situation and saw them flying away. He quickly followed.
"Can't you give a heads-up next time?"
Instinctively, Lumine held onto Jiang Chen.
She rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Then... she also wrapped her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.
Since she had already been carried before, she didn't mind this time.
"Next time, for sure."
With Lumine holding onto him, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.
His mood was quite good.
Was she starting to get used to it?
Good, good, next time we'll sleep together!
Just like that, Jiang Chen flew directly with Lumine and Paimon toward Guizhong's ruins.
After landing, Jiang Chen found a spacious area.
Zhongli also arrived quickly.
He didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
Jiang Chen began drawing a magic circle.
He mixed the blood and mercury he had bought and started drawing.
All the information was in Jiang Chen's mind.
He knew exactly how to draw it and what to use.
Seeing the magic circle Jiang Chen drew, Lumine's eyes lit up.
This magic circle looked really cool.
Although Zhongli also knew some magic, he couldn't understand what Jiang Chen was drawing.
After all, it wasn't part of the Teyvat system.
Once the magic circle was drawn, Jiang Chen placed the Dust of Azoth he had obtained from Zhongli in the center of the circle.
"Is that it?"
"Can we start the summoning now?"
"Don't we need to check the time or something?"
Lumine was curious.
No need to check the time?
He just placed the relic directly on the circle.
"Check what time?"
"The Throne of Heroes is under my control."
"So I decide the time."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
What time was there to check?
This was under his control, wasn't it?
Jiang Chen ignored Lumine and stood by the magic circle, ready to begin.
"Pure iron and silver."
"Released from the ley lines."
"Wandering at the crossroads to reality."
"Fill, fill, fill..."
"I declare, your body shall serve under me, and your fate shall be tied to my sword."
"If you hear my call, gather here quickly."
"I won't mess around with you."
"As long as you listen to me, you can reappear in this world."
At first, Lumine didn't find anything unusual.
But the later part of the chant left her utterly confused.
Something's not right?
What's going on?
Is this how the chant is supposed to go?
What does "I won't mess around with you" mean?
This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!
Lumine was completely dumbfounded.
Is he just making this up?
Paimon and Zhongli might not know, but she certainly did.
Just as she was about to complain, the magic circle suddenly lit up.
"This works?"
"Damn, your chant is clearly wrong, right?"
Lumine was shocked. Seeing the magic circle activate, she was completely stunned.
"Don't mess around."
"If I recited the original version, the book would get banned."
Hearing Lumine's words, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes in exasperation.
If others could get their books banned for copying songs, his situation would be even worse.
Besides, the chant was under Jiang Chen's control.
He could recite it however he wanted.
As long as Guizhong was summoned, that was all that mattered.
Hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, Lumine was speechless.
At this moment, the energy from the magic circle grew stronger.
Geo elements began to gather.
At the same time, a sandstorm rose from Guili Plains.
This massive commotion instantly attracted the attention of the adepti.
In Liyue Harbor, Granny Ping was leisurely watering her flowers.
She suddenly sensed the aura coming from Guili Plains and her expression changed.
This familiar aura...
"Guizhong?"
Granny Ping couldn't believe it.
Was this Guizhong's aura?
Thinking of this, Granny Ping instantly transformed into her younger form, Ping'er, and disappeared from the spot.
She didn't want to appear as Granny Ping in front of Guizhong.
If it really was Guizhong, she would definitely be mocked for her appearance.
Although she wasn't sure what was happening, this was indeed Guizhong's aura.
Besides her, Cloud Retainer on Mt. Aocang also sensed it.
However, she thought someone was tampering with Guizhong's remains.
"Outrageous!"
"Who dares to mess with Guizhong?"
With that, she angrily flew out.
She didn't believe Guizhong had suddenly been revived.
She thought someone was trying to harness the power of Guizhong's remains.
After all, as a god, even in death, Guizhong's power hadn't completely dissipated.
This act undoubtedly infuriated her.
She wanted to see who this evil person was.
Today, she would tear them apart!!
...
"Wow!"
"The sky and earth are changing."
"What an exaggerated way to make an entrance."
Paimon, who was at the scene, watched as the weather around them completely changed and was utterly shocked.
Zhongli, feeling the familiar aura, was also extremely excited.
"Old friend!"
Could it be? She's really been revived?
As the dust slowly settled, a graceful figure appeared in the center.
Holding the Dust of Azoth, she slowly walked out of the dust.
A line from her memory surfaced in her mind.
Instinctively, she recited it.
