Cross through Teyvat, and you'll become stronger by taking the hits!

Although the golden flames burned away his life force, they did not damage Lu Li's clothes or belongings.

"Lu Li..."

Ying reached out and took a step forward, only to find that all that remained in front of her was the debris on the ground, and the marks of the golden flames still lingered on her arm.

Just now, in order to hold onto Lu Li, she was willing to be burned by the flames rather than let go.

She staggered back two steps, finding it hard to accept the situation before her.

She didn't know how to tell Columbia about this, or how to explain it to Zhongli and Hu Tao...

Just then, Nuonnota slowly emerged above the white ash.

It looked at the ashes on the ground, and the rabbit-ear-like structure on its head drooped down.

"...What is this?"

After a moment of silence, Mavica couldn't help but look at Nuonnotta.

Even as the Goddess of Fire, this was the first time she had ever seen such a creature.

"This is a moon spirit, a peculiar creature in the Nordkare region, considered by the locals to be a servant of the moon god."

"It must have been left inside Lu Li by Columbia..."

Capitano, knowing about the Moon Spirit's information, explained in a heavy tone.

At this moment, Nuonnota also cheered up a little from her sad state and flew forward to pick up the Eye of God and the Eye of Evil respectively.

The white ash, enveloped in the soft moonlight, transformed into a bead resembling a moonlit silver, which Nuonnotta cradled in his arms.

Then it turned around and looked at the people around it, and finally flew to Ying and stuffed these things into her hands.

"...You want me to take these to Colombia?"

Ying remembered the dream from before, so she quickly understood what Nuonnota meant.

Nuonnotta nodded slightly.

"I understand... I'll take him there."

Having received Ying's promise, Nuonotta continued flying forward, disappearing into Ying's hand, and it is unknown which object it resided in.

"...He was a great hero. He ensured that there were no casualties in Nata during this disaster. But heroes should not be forgotten. I will build a monument for him in Nata later."

"Yes, and there's also a cenotaph."

After Nuonnotta disappeared, the atmosphere became heavy again. Mavica took a deep breath and broke the silence with her voice.

"If it weren't for the Abyss Erosion Syndrome, this would have been a perfect ending..."

Cetalli hugged the stack of light novels that Lu Li had just given her, then turned and left alone, her back view somewhat lonely.

"Grandma... I'm sorry, I'll go check on Grandma."

"I'm sorry," Orloren said apologetically, then quickly followed after Sitralie.

The others gathered up Lu Li's remaining belongings and used them to build a cenotaph for him.

……

Two weeks later, the monument was completed.

The monument, originally intended to commemorate the victims of the Abyss's full-scale invasion, has become Lu Li's personal monument to heroes.

We must never forget the suffering and resolve of all those who sacrificed themselves, nor the sacrifices and contributions of all those who were brave.

The monument bears these words, and the only name engraved on it is Lu Li.

Paimon, who had woken up more than ten days ago, cried for a long time after learning about Lu Li's situation, after all, she was a very emotional person.

After the monument was completed, she and Ying came to the monument to lay flowers.

The day the monument was completed was also Lu Li's funeral.

The funeral was funded and presided over by the Hall of Rebirth. Since it was difficult to transmit Nata's information to Liyue in half a month, Ying used the teleportation anchor point to go back and report the death, and also picked up Hu Tao and Zhong Li.

After learning about Lu Li's situation, Hu Tao and Zhong Li remained silent for a long time.

"Guest Advisor..."

"Please give your orders, Master."

"Lu Li once told me that if he held a funeral, his biggest wish would be to invite you to play the suona."

"……I see."

Thus, Zhongli took on an additional task in the funeral procession: playing the suona.

The funeral was divided into two parts.

In the first stage, they are in Nata, guiding the souls of the dead; in the second stage, they return to Liyue, leading them home.

As a hero who saved Nata and sacrificed himself heroically, and who also helped Liyue fight against Oser, the Liyue Seven Stars also gave him the highest level of respect.

After the coffin was returned to Liyue, all work and entertainment in Liyue were suspended for a day.

It is said that when the funeral procession passed by, the Dharma Protectors, the Immortals of Jueyun, and others mingled in the crowd to see him off.

The coffin was finally buried at Wuwangpo, and the funeral came to a successful conclusion.

……

One month after Lu Li's sacrifice.

In response to Lu Li's last wish, and with the help Capitano provided to Nata, the Night God agreed to change the rules of the Night God's Kingdom.

Now that the Night God's life is safe and the Night God's Kingdom is secure, there is no need for Capitano's immortality curse to prolong his life.

Finally, under the ceremony presided over by Sitrali, the souls contained within Capitano's heart were summoned out, paid their respects to Capitano, and successfully returned to the Kingdom of Night.

Meanwhile, Apep, along with Noxin and the King Ball containing Ruo'e, left Nata and returned to Sumeru.

Oh right, I also brought Bifflon.

Because it had little combat power, it was so frightened by the full-scale invasion of the Abyss that it hid under Lu Li's bed in the House of Weariness and dared not come out, saying that it was even more frightening than the war between demons.

It was only when everyone was sorting through Lu Li's belongings that they discovered it.

Although Lu Li is gone, it still decides to follow Appepp.

Before leaving, Apep looked back at the monument that belonged to Lu Li.

Upon returning to Sumeru, Apep also informed the Great Compassion Tree King and Naxida about Lu Li's sacrifice.

Both were saddened by this, but powerless to do anything about it, as even with the power of the World Tree, they could not bring the dead back to life.

Afterwards, Apep returned to the desert for the time being, and had Noxin train in the area where the Sumeru Desert bordered Nata, so that she could gain greater power as soon as possible.

After confirming that all the things Lu Li had entrusted to them before his death had been taken care of, and after experiencing some things in Nata and meeting a robot girl named Inef, Ying and Paimon finally embarked on their journey again, heading to Nordkale with Inef.
