The main story in the early stages was the Guan Xing first displaying her divine might. With a mortal body, she confronted the demon god named Chi, using sky lanterns to gather adepti talismans and suppress it.
And because Chi's body was immortal and indestructible, its blood dripped and turned into stone, becoming deadly poisonous pollution that harmed the world. The Guan Xing set up formations.
Binding its divinity to the true north, nailing its bones to the southeast, locking its body to the northwest, shackling its soul to the northeast, and pressing its form to the southwest.
You say it's a coincidence—the old uncle had done the ancient task involving Chi in Guyun, so he was quite familiar with the geographical locations...
Then thinking about those three fragments and the three places Qingce Village sacrifices to, he could completely construct the history as places the Guan Xing used to sort out the lingering might of the demon god after death and regulate the ley lines.
That's right. As an existence modeled after the chancellor, the Guan Xing naturally also needed deceptive methods, such as being able to mobilize part of the ley line power for her own use...
In any case, the Guan Xing used her battle achievements, formation research, and other strengths to win the recognition of the adepti, and then began her lifelong role as His Imperial Majesty's external brain...
During this period, the Guan Xing was beloved by the adepti and earned the title of "Mr. Sleeping Dragon."
When the old uncle finished writing the first page of the outline here, he placed it beside the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plushie.
The Rex Lapis cat-dragon also stretched out its little short paws to look, and as usual marked it with a "Reviewed."
With the early-stage recognition issue resolved, it was time to begin the Guan Xing's acquaintanceship with the other adepti, as well as the initial flourishing of Liyue.
This period belonged to the middle stage and would be the part with the most content in the book.
The old uncle's positioning for "Liyue Huangguo" was actually as a Liyue strange tales novel—essentially still adepti unofficial history and casual chat.
Then this middle stage would introduce the stories of each Liyue adeptus, viewed from the perspective of the Guan Xing.
Basically, the old uncle was quite familiar with each adeptus's story, so writing this came naturally.
You ask why he knows?
Oh, that would have to start from a certain woman who is very good at chatting.
And also a certain Morax old man who likes reminiscing about old friends.
Speaking of which, when Cid first started writing Liyue Huangguo, he actually felt a bit uneasy. After all, this did seem somewhat damaging to His Imperial Majesty's dignity.
If he wrote it ten years later, His Imperial Majesty would probably approve very much, but right now the old man hadn't retired yet...
Still, he persisted in writing the story down first and showed it to the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plushie.
And His Imperial Majesty seemed to have no particular thoughts—just nodded and returned the outline to Cid.
Looking at that "Reviewed" character from His Imperial Majesty on the outline, the old uncle finally felt at ease and began constructing the history.
Then the middle-stage daily stories of getting acquainted with the adepti would be very long, but pure development and daily life were impossible.
After all, it was still the Archon War period. Although the Guan Xing was in a logistics role and wouldn't go to the front lines to kill enemies, she was still very busy.
For example, borrowing eastern winds at Liyue Harbor, and also handling demon god remnants by creating the secret art of burning death qi for rebirth...
And during this period, to the east were ocean-type demon gods led by Osial, while on land there were still a bunch of demon gods with all kinds of mechanisms...
It could only be said that as a logistics personnel, Lord Guan Xing maxed out intelligence, formations, logistics, purification, economy, food supply—everything...
The whole work gave off a feeling of "my enemies are very powerful, so I can only carefully beat them up while staying cautious."
This period would give people the impression of Mr. Sleeping Dragon using literature alongside Rex Lapis using martial might, dominating chaotically.
But when it came to the later stages...
