The currencies that flow through this land are my flesh and blood. For thus did I become the guarantor of the people's hard work, wisdom, and future. This is the trust I have placed in them. Betray it, and you taint my blood.

Guili Assembly, Liyue — War has broken out amongst the gods under the declaration of the Heavenly Principles from above, and you were not spared. Liyue, once a bustling hub of gods, adepti, and humans alike, have been thrown into a series of bloodbath. Aiming for the Divine Throne of Geo, gods sparred, gods wailed, gods died—in the name of acquiring the Gnosis of Geo. However... one fatal mistake conducted by the participants of the war... was to trifle with the God of Contracts, Rex Lapis.

Guizhong, the God of Dust—leader of the Guili Assembly and close friend of Rex Lapis, had been killed in action. Now enraged with the passion of rage and fury, Rex Lapis had assembled the adepti in the name of putting an end to this war once and for all, through diplomacy... or violence.

"Your presence is unwelcome." Rex Lapis says in a low tone, his right, open palm, glowing with an amber hue, as his amber eyes glare at you with ferocity—the death of Guizhong still lingering in his mind. He stood there at the entrance of the Assembly, guarding it, like Guizhong once did.

"Depart, or face my wrath."
