I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

Wu Qiu hadn't gone there before because he didn't know the situation, but now that the Constable of Heavenly Principles had appeared, there should only be the Demon and Heavenly Principles left in the palace. They might not have separated yet, so Wu Qiu needed to hurry.

Meanwhile, Ying and Kong's meditation was not yet over. They seemed to have hit a bottleneck, so they were very anxious. But the more anxious they were, the smaller their chances of success became, so they became even more anxious.

It was like a vicious cycle. Watching this, Paimon lowered his head, his face filled with worry.

"Sister Ying, you, you..."

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he stopped in the end. He flew forward, looked at Ying with her brows furrowed, and finally hugged her, nestling in her arms.

After a long silence, she simply held Ying quietly, closed her eyes, as if enjoying the moment. But she knew time was running out, so she still raised her head and smiled, saying, "Sister Ying, you'll remember Paimon, won't you?"

After she finished speaking, her body began to become transparent, little by little. Her aura dissipated, her life force faded, and finally she vanished completely.

At this moment, Ying's mind was in complete chaos. She wanted to help quickly, but that would only make her more confused, so she became very agitated.

But suddenly, amidst the chaos, in that utterly confused mind, Ying felt herself being embraced. Immediately afterward, a voice rang in her ear.

"Sister Ying, you'll remember Paimon, won't you..."

This embrace calmed Ying's chaotic world. With her eyes wide open, Ying stared blankly. Finally, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at what was in front of her. Unconsciously, two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the small lock that had appeared in Ying's hand.

"Paimon..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Thor and his team arrived at the fourth formation—or rather, when the formation collapsed—they were all stunned by what they saw inside.

Because what they saw was a dense mass of demons in the sky, truly a dense mass, with over three hundred demons standing there. Before them stood a person, a woman, kneeling in the void, with gusts of wind sweeping past her.

Her body was trembling, blood was flowing continuously from her seven orifices, and the Hurricane Spirit Eye between her eyebrows, which symbolized everything about her and her powerful strength, had long lost its luster and was covered with countless cracks like a shattered glass bead.

You could even see her body twitching constantly, because she could no longer control the power within her body. Her body was unconsciously exerting force and circulating power, but this power was no longer under her control and was constantly destroying her body.

However, even so, they could still see the array spread out around them, as well as the Hurricane Spirit Eye, which was still functioning even though it was broken.

"What on earth happened?"

The Yaksha Demon God, who had initially looked down on Cang Yu the most, was the first to speak. His voice wasn't loud, but it was heard and seen by all the demon gods above, including Cang Yu.

Sensing their arrival, the three hundred-plus demon gods merely glanced at them and then remained still. To be precise, they were all quite weak and needed to recover, as they hadn't regained much power.

As Cang Yu sensed their arrival, he turned his head slightly, a smile appearing on his pale face, and then his lips twitched slightly.

"Great... Finally, I can rest..."

After saying that, the surrounding domain disappeared, and Cang Yu's body went limp and she fell down. Seeing this, Wendy rushed forward and caught her. Looking at Cang Yu, who was convulsing in her arms, Wendy understood.

Perhaps, at that time, Cang Yu discovered that more than three hundred demon gods wanted to fight their way through, but they didn't understand what she meant and even scolded her back, leaving her to face those three hundred demon gods alone.

Looking up at the demon in the sky, Wendy said, "War is cruel, but why do you torture her like this?"

Cang Yu looks terrible now, tortured like this. Even if this is war, it's still too much. In war, if you're too weak and die, there's nothing to say. But for over three hundred demon gods to torture a woman who is already extremely timid and weak, how can anyone not be angry?

"I bother!"

But to Wendy's surprise, the demons opposite her immediately launched into a tirade. One of them even exclaimed, "That girl is a madwoman! She's holding off over three hundred of us all by herself. We want to torture her? We, over three hundred of us, are attacking with all our might, wishing we could slap her to death! But from the beginning until now, we've almost exhausted all our strength, and we haven't even touched her!"

"She died because she forced herself to exert her power beyond her limits! What does it have to do with us!"

Wendy's pupils contracted slightly as she turned to look at Cang Yu. She was still breathing, but she was beyond saving.

Seeing Wendy looking over, Cang Yu smiled slightly, and then slowly lifted the crystal that she was holding tightly, gently placing it to her lips.

"Morax..."

It seemed as if she used up all her strength to utter a single sentence; even breathing became extremely difficult, and blood flowed from her mouth with each word she spoke.

At this moment, she appeared somewhat agitated, breathing heavily, tears mixed with blood slowly flowing from her eyes. Yet, even so, she still smiled, her voice slurred and strained, tinged with sobs.

“Morax…this time, I didn’t run away…”

"Can you forgive me?"

The scene fell silent, a long silence. Just as the life in Cang Yu's eyes was fading, just as her expression had returned to a blank look, just as she was about to lose all traces of life, a calm voice came from the other side.

"Um……"

A single, simple word, yet Cang Yu was already dead. However, people noticed a faint smile on Cang Yu's lips, a peaceful one.

Finally, in the last moments of her life, the white bird received the little lizard's forgiveness. Although no one knew if she had heard it, a voice resonated in everyone's hearts.

"Thank you for still being able to forgive me..."

"Goodbye, Morax..."

Chapter 490: Lord of the Plains

Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sky, their rays shining brightly without restraint. Looking up at the sky from this plain, the system felt a touch of melancholy.

Behind her, Noelle sat cross-legged on the ground. When she opened her eyes, the power in her body suddenly spread out. Then, she seemed to merge with the plain, and the sacred aura around her continued to spread.

The stars in the sky began to twinkle, and they seemed excited, but they did nothing, as if they were waiting for something.

Standing up, Noelle bowed slightly to the system before her and said respectfully, "Senior, I...I want to..."

The system shook its head, signaling him to be quiet. The scene was quiet for a long time before the system turned back and asked, "You... want to participate in this battle?"

Noelle nodded. The system gave a bitter laugh, "Am I a bastard? Just like Wu Qiu said, I gave him nothing, yet they lost so much for my goals."

Noel shook her head. "I don't know what others think, I don't know what Xiao Qiuzi and the others think, but I believe, and I know, that you, senior, are the one who most wants to end all of this."

“I knew nothing back then, but now I know, and I also realize that even someone as powerful as you has been limited because of your status and strength.”

“You’ve already tried your best, but it still seems so monotonous. However, I believe that Xiao Qiuzi and the others can also feel it, so they have never changed their stance and will always stand by your side.”

"Ha ha……"

Hearing what Noel said, the system laughed, a very happy laugh. Unlike any time before, this time, the emotion it revealed was finally itself, the real Noel.

Why do you trust me so much?

The system countered with a question. Noel smiled slightly, "You should have given up on Xiao Qiu long ago. I can help you achieve your goal in the future. Although it sounds harsh, if it were me, I could achieve it much more easily than Xiao Qiu."

"But you didn't give up on him. In fact, you've never given up on anyone easily."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the sky. "All my seniors, I felt it. None of them hated you, including Senior Liu. They all respected you. So, I have reason to believe that you once tried to save them all."

"Ah~"

With a sigh, the system looked at Noelle and said, "You are truly amazing, Noelle. If you were given my position, I could finally rest easy."

As he spoke, he looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "Everyone likes you very much, so, Noelle, I entrust the Fallen Star Plain to you."

The stars in the sky dimmed for a fleeting moment, as if people were holding their breath, subconsciously anticipating something.

Noelle closed her eyes, lowered her head, and slowly knelt on one knee, speaking devoutly to the system: "Junior Noelle will certainly live up to senior's expectations."

She didn't particularly care about this position, but she needed it. The battles outside were fierce, and this was what she had worked so hard for.

"Go, as the Lord of the Plains, as the prospective administrator."

With that, the system disappeared. Noelle stood up, looked at the stars in the sky, and then slowly opened her hands. "Seniors, please help me. My world needs your help. I need your help."

Then, before Noelle, the entire plain was instantly covered in starlight, and then a voice rang in Noelle's heart.

"Your Excellency, the Lord of the Plains commands..."

..................................................................

Meanwhile, Wu Qiu had already approached the main hall. Strangely, Wu Qiu found that no one had attacked or stopped him along the way, which was very strange, considering the three hundred demon gods were still there – where were they?

Before Wu Qiu knew what was going on, he had already arrived outside the palace.

Looking down at the palace, Wu Qiu's wings flashed, carrying him closer and closer. Now, Wu Qiu could sense it, sensed the presence of the demon, and knew very well that the demon was inside.

Just as Wu Qiu was about to arrive, a force suddenly struck him. He then saw a figure approach him, raise its hand, and a force acted on him, carrying him backward to the top of the main hall.

Wu Qiu's body was completely controlled and he couldn't move at all. Then, Wu Qiu saw a flash in front of him, and a person appeared in front of him.

Wu Qiu couldn't say he was very familiar with this person, but he definitely knew him.

"Tianli, no, Yaotian, you actually came out! You and that demon have separated?"

Wu Qiu was surprised. He had thought that Yao Tian and the demon were still together, so he might be able to fight them together. As long as he could seize the other demon seed, it wouldn't be impossible for him to win.

But now that Yao Tian has appeared, it proves that the demon has reached its final moment. Although he doesn't know what Yao Tian is going to do, Wu Qiu thinks it through: Yao Tian wants to be resurrected because only in this way can he compete with the system for things.

"Oh, are you surprised? Now I am just me, separated from that thing. I can use all my power. How are you going to oppose me?"

Yao Tian spoke slowly, but Wu Qiu broke out in a cold sweat listening to her. This was because Yao Tian's strength was far beyond what the Heavenly Law Maintainers could compare to. Before her, the Heavenly Law Maintainers, demon gods, and ordinary people were all the same—ants.

Wu Qiu was just a tiny ant; killing him was no different from killing an ordinary ant.

"Yaotian, listen to me, we are not enemies, you have been deceived! System, no, the regional guardian will not kill you, you are his friend, you are a hero of this world, you are not our enemy."

Wu Qiu spoke, knowing it was probably pointless, but it was the only option he had. However, to Wu Qiu's surprise, Yao Tian actually released him.

Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, thinking, "Could it be that Yao Tian has recovered?"

But no, Yao Tian coldly looked at Wu Qiu, not killing him, but seemingly not listening to him either, only coldly saying: "That thing said not to kill you for now, fine, I still need him now, so, consider yourself lucky, go in."

He then stepped aside. Wu Qiu's face showed no joy at the prospect of being able to enter.

Wu Qiu was wondering if Yao Tian would go to the battlefield after he left. With her strength, they would be wiped out almost instantly.

But then she thought again, probably not. After all, the system had said that gods couldn't approach the mortal realm, or they would be easily destroyed. Teyvat was definitely still useful, so she wouldn't do that, and the system and the demons would certainly not allow her to do so.

This is why Yao Tian hasn't appeared on the battlefield. The space here is significantly more stable, but it's different outside.

However, Yao Tian told him to go in, but Wu Qiu knew that Yao Tian had now separated from the demon, which proved that she was now free to travel on her own.

Such a person would be a major threat, and we must find a way to deal with her. However, Wu Qiu couldn't beat her, and besides, Wu Qiu didn't really want to fight her, since she wasn't truly an enemy.

"Xiao Qiuzi."

Just then, Wu Qiu heard a very familiar voice. Turning around, Wu Qiu saw Ying and Kong flying over.

That's right, they have regained their former power, and now each of them has a pair of wings that allow them to fly.

Yingfei flew in front of Wu Qiu, looked at Yao Tian in front of her and said calmly, "Little Qiu, you go in, leave this to us."

"But Sister Ying..."

Wu Qiu wanted to say something, after all, Yao Tian was too strong. Moreover, for some reason, Ying didn't look well, as if something had happened.

Ying gripped the lock tightly, then turned to Wu Qiu with a determined smile. "It's alright, Qiu Zi. I'm fine. Go ahead. We can manage here."

Wu Qiu felt something was wrong. Meanwhile, Yao Tian, ​​seeing Ying and Kong, also revealed a mocking smile.

"He can't be killed yet, you..."
