After Lumine and Paimon left, only Yuto and Zhongli remained at the dinner table, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
"Mr. Zhongli, are you doing all this so you can retire peacefully?"
"You've guessed it. I have existed for over six millennia. Thousands of years have passed, and even rock can occasionally feel weary. But Liyue is a city I built with my own hands, a culmination of my efforts. Even if I truly want to let go, I must test whether Liyue, in its current state, can withstand the trial of losing its God.
Before this trial ends, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"I can keep it a secret, but I have a small condition that I hope Mr. Zhongli can agree to."
"As the God of Contracts, contracts exist in all aspects. I am not against it. Since I am asking for a favor, I naturally need to pay a corresponding price. Speak."
"I want a Pyro Vision."
"A Vision is obtained by humans through their desire for a wish. Although I cannot explain due to a contract, I am powerless to grant a Vision."
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhongli, I don't want a real Vision. I just want a fake one, like the one you carry. If you can't give me a real one, a fake one should be fine, right?"
"Why is that?"
Zhongli clearly couldn't understand Yuto's actions. In his over six millennia of existence, he had seen countless humans ask him for wealth, power, beauty, and Visions. If Yuto's earlier request for a Vision was within his expectations, his request for a fake Vision was not.
Yuto glanced around, noticed no one was paying attention to them, and directly spat out a small fireball from his mouth, which then quickly vanished into the night.
Although the fireball was small, the shock it brought to Zhongli was immense. In his perception, Yuto had not absorbed any Pyro element power from the outside world, yet he had accomplished the feat of spitting fire from his mouth.
"Why can you manipulate elemental power without a Vision? Are you not human?"
"I am a genuine human."
Unexpectedly, when Zhongli heard Yuto's words, his gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, exuding an oppressive aura of authority without anger. Yuto, sitting opposite Zhongli, suddenly felt as if he was being crushed by a colossal boulder, almost unable to breathe.
In Zhongli's understanding, the human body simply cannot contain violent elemental power. Even when someone with a Vision manipulates elemental power, the external elements do not flow directly into the body. Instead, they first enter the Vision and are then released through it, which is why a Vision is called an external magical organ.
Since Yuto is human, and he has neither a Vision nor a Delusion obtained from Snezhnaya, there is only one way he could have mastered elements—by coming into contact with forbidden knowledge!
