Worst

In the end, the worst kind of occurrence happened...Aron cooked for Zhongli, Jing Yuan and Haitien alone, with noodles going completely wrong and getting overcooked, so much they became part of the broth. Basically they have to eat a cream, at least the taste is acceptable since the broth was indeed really tasty and good.

After finishing to eat, everyone go their own way. Zhongli goes to take a look at WooPil in the bedroom. Actually Aron is there and fell asleep near WooPil by accident, so he decides to let them be and returns downstairs. He approaches a window and remains by it, looking outside lost in his thoughts regarding the whole matter. First visiting Guili plains, now the appearance of Skylar, everything brings him back to that sad moment.

MORAX "I'm well aware of that, but he seems particularly caring about this one. I was only wondering if there was more, that I don't know.
With his blessings, I will seal it away, possibly forever, so it won't be able to harm again..." Or he will try, at least.
"Now it makes sense. That's why they are two in one body...is that process safe? Two demigods, two cores in one body. Won't that body start to feel the weight of it? There might be serious consequences...
As I was fearing...poor thing, he is an innocent after all. I treated him too harshly..."

Cyno «I do not have any information or orders concerning that instrument of death. My Master wants nothing to do with that item. As long as it will not cause any more harm, the Lord of Life will be grateful to you, my Lord.» He bows his head.
«They are not two in one body, my Lord. Only Lord Mianfei's core remains, as he destroyed his whole essence with that instrument of death. But a fragment of his consciousness remained in Roseslasher and when it comes in contact with the core it causes Lord Tianfan to… enter a state of deep confusion…» Simply put, the fragment of consciousness of Mianfei in the sword combined with the core inside of him, caused Tianfan to develop DID and pretty much create Mianfei as his second personality. It was also due to the trauma of losing his twin and the pain he is under.
«Lord Tianfan's body can not withstand the power of the negative core inside his body, but there is no solution as of now…» He looks down.
«It is not your fault, my Lord. He was under confusion and he thought to be Lord Mianfei again… I bear witness for the gods, should they demand explanations.»

MORAX "In that case, I'll act with more confidence. I feared going against their will by sealing it."
He listens carefully to what the Zimox explains. "Thank you. It is all clear now.
Not even destroying Roseslasher could possibly end his sufferings from that point of view? It is a possibility to consider, but only a God could ultimately destroy it. Maybe only Juku himself.
It was accurate. It is as if I saw his merciless eyes again..."

Cyno «Destroying that despicable item might help Lord Tianfan with his confusion.» It can make the personality switch happen less often, as that last fragment of Mianfei's consciousness would not be able to influence Tianfan anymore.
«The item of destruction holds the memories of its past wielders and can infuse them into Lord Tianfan, when he wields it too…»
He starts to walk out of the kitchen by himself to head towards where Tianfan is imprisoned.

MORAX "We would first have to meet Lord Juku. His creation...he might refuse we destroy it." He really hopes Juku will be reasonable on the matter.
"He should never get in touch with the sword again..."
He decides to follow the Zimox, since he also needs to lower the defenses he set to make sure Tianfan wouldn't escape.
