    Summary

    To be entirely fair, Zhongli had planned to fake his death. He would drop a fake Exuvia just as the Qixing called for him during the Rite of Descension, and he would let everything unfold from there.
    That had been the plan. He might’ve started to regret the circumstances, but never the end result. Rex Lapis was meant to die.

    Zhongli wasn’t.

    So why did he?
    And if he did,

    Why was he awake now, somewhere he did not at all recognize?

    --------

    Or, Zhongli not-quite-transmigrates into a modern version of Teyvat and has to figure out why the Zhongli from that universe (whose body he took over) has died, along with other things threatening the nation. With the other Zhongli dead, he's the only Morax left, after all.
    And Morax is duty-bound to protect Liyue.

    Summary

    The future is space,
    earth-colored space,
    cloud-colored,
    color of water, air,
    black space with room for many dreams,
    white space with room for all snow,
    for all music.

    Behind lies despairing love
    with no room for a kiss.
    There's a place for everyone in forests,
    in streets, in houses;
    there's an underground space, a submarine space,
    but what joy is to find in the end,
    rising,

    an empty planet
    great stars clear as vodka,
    so uninhabited and so transparent,
    and arrive there with the first telephone
    so that so many men can later discuss
    all their infirmities.

    -Future is space, original by Pablo Neruda.

    Phainon leaves Amphoreus seeking a new path. A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs (plus Stelle and Dan Heng) follow him.

    This triggers a chain reaction of surprising friendships, unlikely alliances and lots of adventures.

    Summary

    “You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.

    Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.

    “Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”

    // OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

    Summary

    Irontomb no longer exists, or maybe it never existed at all. Amphoreus greets the universe beyond the skies, broken but determined to see the real future on the horizon.

    It's a happy ending, but Phainon feels as if the entire world is falling on top of him like rocks, as if he's drowning in the sudden reality of it all like a sailor lost at sea.

    So he makes the only choice he can think of: he runs away.

    A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs and two experts on interstellar travels follow him.
