"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Liyue, South Gate of Heaven, under the Fulong Tree.
Deep underground, where humans could not reach, waves of sorrowful roars crashed against the golden seal array.
On the planet Teyvat, there exists a mechanism for absorbing, recording, circulating, and transporting information, known as the Ley Lines.
Due to their connection with Irminsul, Teyvat's information hub and central repository, Teyvat's Ley Lines manifest as deep-buried tree roots.
These roots intertwine and crisscross in different ways according to the regional divisions of various nations, collecting information from each nation separately before consolidating it into Irminsul.
Just now, the area covered by Liyue's statue of the seven suddenly shrank significantly! For example, the coverage of the statue of the seven in Stone Gate almost directly receded from the Stone Gate outpost to the base of the statue of the seven itself.
This was not merely a change in territorial boundaries; it directly affected the storage and circulation of Ley Line information. Countless Ley Line data belonging to Mondstadt and Sumeru, two nations adjacent to Liyue, instantly merged into Liyue's Ley Lines, stirring the thousand-year-stable Liyue Ley Lines like turbulent seawater.
Furthermore, a trace of "forbidden knowledge" not belonging to this world was mixed in, flowing into this nation from the direction of Sumeru.
Fortunately, Liyue has no scholars who idly wish to connect to Irminsul or learn knowledge from the Ley Lines all day, so ordinary people did not notice anything amiss.
However, one place was an exception: a certain elemental dragon that had naturally grown a crown and constantly resonated with the Ley Lines through Teyvat's [Prime Geo Element].
He, who was originally in a deep slumber, was awakened by this tide of information. His rationality, already worn down by the connection of his damaged Authority of Geo to the Ley Lines, was instantly flooded with countless pieces of junk information, and even a trace of so-called "divine knowledge."
Black aura gradually emerged from the headache-ridden giant dragon, condensing on the ground into a small girl dressed in blue.
"Usurper... eliminate... Morax!"

"Orion, is there an antidote for this item?"
Orion nodded: "You just need to say a few true words to change back."
Zhongli sighed in relief and nodded.
"That's good, that's good..."
Subsequently, after Zhongli's continuous self-incrimination with several adeptus-level truths, Liyue's land area also returned to normal.
Looking at the empty bottle, Orion and Zhongli both felt a lingering fear.
"Maybe you shouldn't let your friend make potions anymore?"
"Yes, I'll remind her."
A god and an alien reached a consensus. Sucrose's potion, no one knew how it was researched, but its effect was simply too terrifying.
If OAA drank this, and it directly caused a multiverse collapse, wouldn't that be chaos?
After concluding this topic, Hu Tao and Ferrylady, carrying a pile of clothes, walked in shortly after.
"Yo! You two are getting along well!" Hu Tao immediately put her arm around Orion and pulled him over: "Come on, my dear consultant, try on your new clothes!"
Orion took several clothes from Ferrylady and, urged by Hu Tao, entered the changing room nearby.
Soon, Orion emerged, dressed in a black, ancient Chinese-style long gown.
Hu Tao, Ferrylady, and Zhongli stood in a row, beginning their critique.
Hu Tao: "He's handsome, but I just feel like..."
Ferrylady: "It doesn't quite match his face. consultant Orion's Mondstadt-style features don't seem to suit this kind of vibe."
Zhongli: "Indeed."
So Hu Tao urged Orion to change into another outfit.
Soon, Orion came out again, wearing a black mandarin jacket with gilded patterns.
Hu Tao: "Hmm... the problem seems to be the same as with the last one."
Ferrylady: "That's right, the pointy ears seem to make the entire head too prominent, and it doesn't quite match the plain clothes below."
Zhongli: "Indeed."
Then Orion began his long journey of trying on clothes. Hu Tao and Xingqiu had indeed prepared many clothes for him, all the same size but in different styles.
Finally, Hu Tao had a sudden idea: "Since he has a foreign appearance, why not dress him in a foreign style?"
So, she opened the box and leaned her upper body into it, rummaging around.
Faced with this undignified behavior, Zhongli covered his face, unable to watch, like an old father who hadn't raised his daughter well. Ferrylady also somewhat dared not look directly.
Orion, however, had only one thought.
Good opportunity!
Soon, a muffled voice came from the box: "Found it!"
Then, Hu Tao ran over with a black priest's robe, holding it up against Orion: "Look, isn't this much more suitable?"
Ferrylady: "Ah, this outfit really matches his appearance better."
Zhongli: "Indeed."
Hu Tao shoved the priest's robe into Orion's arms: "Hurry and try it on, hurry and try it on!"
Orion looked at the priest's robe in his hands, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
He wanted to wear clothes in a traditional Chinese style, or something similar to what Zhongli wore; he thought those looked cooler.
However, in the end, the Giant Spider couldn't out-argue the butterfly. The alien Giant Spider, after being coaxed and cajoled by the local little butterfly, went in to change.
Orion reappeared, dressed in a long black robe, with some white buttons, church symbols, and a belt that formed a cross shape with a single-sided cape.
Orion had slicked his hair back, wore a single-lens gold-rimmed round monocle, a small gold chain looped around his ear, and was holding a book.
Since he had no other books, he used the 'Tales of the Dragon-Slayer' as a substitute.
Hu Tao and Ferrylady looked at this outfit and immediately nodded incessantly. Hu Tao even let out a "Oh~~~♦!" sound.
She ran over, circling Orion two or three times, pulling here and tugging there: "consultant, can you say some lines?"
Orion showed a disdainful expression, *You tell me to speak, and I'll speak?* Then he looked down to see Hu Tao, with one eye closed and the other looking up at him at a forty-five-degree angle from below, her hands clasped together near her mouth.
With a "snap," the book closed. Orion's expression was solemn: "Do you believe in gravity?
Humans are ultimately destined for heaven."
Hu Tao's eyes squinted into > < shapes, and she shook Orion's robe: "That's it, that's the flavor!"
Zhongli: "Indeed."
Orion thumped his chest: "Of course! I'm an Honorary Priest in Mondstadt."
"Oh, perfect!" Hu Tao slapped her forehead and immediately decided: "From now on, you'll be the consultant and the foreign branch manager of the Yin-Yang Division! After all, people from other countries also pass away here in Liyue, and our business needs to go international!"
Look at her awareness.
Even the funeral parlor is going international.
