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

As he spoke, his aura suddenly intensified, forcing the three of them to retreat continuously.

"Killing you would be the best way to eliminate future troubles. Although, in my eyes you are not a threat at all."

Yao Tian didn't take Ying and the other person seriously at all. But Ying, facing that powerful force, didn't retreat; instead, she took a step forward.

A light shone from their bodies, and then half a fragment of a divine spark flew out from them. In the air, they spun and joined together, forming a complete divine spark.

However, this process is not simple. It can be seen that the fusion process is not smooth, and it even seems to be bounced away at the end.

At that moment, Ying slowly released her grip, and the chain she held flew out, gently and slowly encircling the fragment of divinity.

"That's the second throne I created? But wasn't it already destroyed by me? Could it be that a remnant of its soul still remains?"

Sensing the aura of the chains, Yao Tian recognized them at a glance—the Second Throne she had created, which had gone out of control and was subsequently destroyed by her. This finally gave her a sense of foreboding.

She took a step forward, and in that one step she was right in front of Ying, intending to kill her directly. But Ying was not in a hurry. Facing Yao Tian, ​​who was so close, Ying looked at the chains and said softly, "If I could be more capable, if we could do it ourselves, then Paimon, you wouldn't have to die, would you?"

The words had barely left his lips when an immense force suddenly surged down, shaking the entire world. The next second, a white light enveloped Ying and Kong, like a lightsaber cleaving through the endless darkness.

When the light faded, when everything ended, Wu Qiu saw that Ying and Kong had disappeared. In their place stood another person.

It was a man with long blond hair and dressed in white. He possessed a powerful aura, just like Tianli, which his own detection couldn't detect; he could only see a message saying "Detection limit exceeded."

When the light faded, a symbol appeared on the person's forehead. It was a very special symbol, seemingly connected to the Dao of Heaven, and looked very mysterious.

"That is the Heavenly Decree! You are the regional guardian deity..."

Yao Tian couldn't help but take a step back, a hint of fear appearing in her eyes.

The man in front of her smiled slightly at Yao Tian, ​​one hand touching the small lock pattern on his chest, and two lines of clear tears actually flowed down the corners of this powerful regional guardian's eyes.

"Regional Guardian, Silverwind, and..."

"Adorable emergency food, magical little floating objects, quirky little elves, greedy lazybones, and, of course, Paimon, my eternal companion on the journey..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Yaotian..."

Chapter 491: Fallen Star Plains and the Dark Outer Sea

"Regional Guardian! Why? What are you doing here?"

Yao Tian looked at Yin Feng and spoke, but quickly realized what she meant and laughed.

"Hehehe... No wonder, so you two were once administrators of the Heavenly Dao? No wonder I sensed something different when you first arrived."

"Have you barely recovered yet? You can't hold on for much longer, can you? And your strength has also decreased a lot, right? After all, the regional guardians can't possibly only have your current strength."

Yin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Yao Tian, ​​saying, "Yao Tian, ​​if you are willing to feel it, you will know that the administrator of this area will not kill you at all. You have been deceived by the demon."

"Come back now, at least you still have a chance to turn back."

Yao Tian looked at Yin Feng, then slowly drew out the Demon Sword, her aura intensifying as she spoke: "You are no match for me now. Perhaps I will listen to you when you defeat me."

Seeing this, Wu Qiu knew that persuasion alone wouldn't change Yao Tian's mind. He had to defeat him, but could he? Clearly, even if Ying and the others transformed into regional guardians, they would struggle against Yao Tian in his current state. After all, Ying and the others had only forced their way through, while the opponent was a genuine god.

"By the way, what do you guys think of the battle situation outside? If I told you I could summon demon gods at will, would you believe me?"

Yao Tian suddenly smiled and spoke. Then she raised her hand, and a black aura surrounded her. Finally, in the dark outer sea, a black aura rose up and then formed the shape of a person.

That was a demon god, a true demon god powerhouse, and moreover, an enemy defeated by the stars on the Fallen Star Plain, who had now been resurrected as a puppet. Seeing this, Wu Qiu was dumbfounded, and even Yin Feng was somewhat surprised.

"Don't be surprised, this is the power of the Dark Outer Sea. Now, the Dark Outer Sea is mine. As long as I'm here, I can have as many of these guys as I want, and they can be resurrected at will if they die."

After she finished speaking, dozens more figures appeared—more demon gods. Yes, in her eyes, demon gods were no different from ordinary cannon fodder or soldiers.

The Dark Outer Sea was formed when the demon fell. Now, the demon has entrusted the Dark Outer Sea to Yao Tian, ​​who can use this power.

This is why she is so confident. After all, she has the Dark Sea. So, what do Wu Qiu and the others have?

"The Dark Outer Sea? I wonder how it compares to the Fallen Star Plains?"

Just then, a voice seemed to ring out from the horizon, and then the dark sky was instantly illuminated. Looking up, Wu Qiu saw countless stars shining in the sky, forming a huge vortex.

At that moment, within the swirling stars, a figure descended to earth like a true deity. Wherever she passed, all darkness was destroyed, and starlight showered down upon the earth, transforming this gloomy world into a dazzling spectacle.

The world seemed to be split in two: below, the dark outer sea was filled with darkness, while above, starlight shone, dividing the world in two.

One by one, figures appeared in the air. They were figures shining with blue light, the stars above the Fallen Star Plain, the former losers of the Fallen Star Plain.

At this moment, they were awakened by Noelle and gathered in the sky. In the center, blue light descended, and all the figures knelt on one knee. Even Wu Qiu felt that his body was out of control, and then he too knelt on one knee in the void.

The demonic energy on his body vanished, and Yingdong took control of the body, kneeling reverently on the ground. When the figure appeared, Yingdong spoke very respectfully: "Yingdong welcomes the Lord of the Plains."

Within that starlight, Noelle—or rather, Noelle in her future form—appeared. Yes, the present Noelle was exactly the same as her future self, except that she was much weaker and lacked that composure.

However, it can be seen that she is indeed the person Wu Qiu and the others saw two hundred years later, that Noelle.

A pattern resembling the silver wind can be seen between Noelle's eyebrows.

Upon seeing this, Yao Tian asked, "So, he's giving you the position of the next Heavenly Dao administrator?"

Noel didn't answer, but looked at Wu Qiu and said, "Little Qiu, go and kill that demon. He's the root of everything. Leave this to us."

As she spoke, Noelle picked up the enormous Star Sword. This sword, Snow Burial's Star Silver, had clearly been completely transformed by the system and was no longer the same; its aura was that of a divine artifact.

Silver Wind also took out Snow Forest, the same divine artifact.

Seeing this, Yingdong stepped aside, and Wu Qiu finally felt relieved. He nodded to them, then got up and headed towards the palace.

On the other side, beneath the Cloud Pillar, Zhongli heard the voice from the other end of the communication crystal—Cang Yu's final farewell.

He didn't show any particularly intense emotions, but does that mean he wasn't emotionally affected at all? No, it actually proves that Zhongli's heart is now completely in turmoil.

However, he didn't know that there was a reason why he felt his strength had decreased, and that reason wasn't necessarily bad. It was as if something invisible was testing him.

However, Zhongli didn't know what he was supposed to do. He felt that he had reached the most crucial moment, but he lacked a key, a key that would allow him to finally take that step.

Even now, at this moment, when he sensed Cang Yu's life force fading away, when the final farewell was approaching, when she used her own life to defend everything she wanted to protect, Zhong Li's heart was moved.

At that moment, the white bird returned; at that moment, no one was more proud of her than Zhongli. But when she died, Zhongli only offered a very ordinary "Mm."

It was cold, yet it contained all the little lizard's emotions for the white bird. At that moment, the key seemed to appear; at that moment, his strength returned.

Gradually, without realizing it, his strength was increasing rapidly.

With a flash, he arrived on the battlefield. This battlefield was not only a battle between Teyvat and the demons, but also a battle between the Fallen Star Plains and the Dark Sea.

In that fierce battle, demons appeared continuously in the Dark Outer Sea. At the same time, the sky was filled with starlight as countless figures and Teyvat demons clashed with the Dark Outer Sea.

Noelle's time was too short; she couldn't awaken all the stars on the plains, so they were now at a disadvantage.

On the other side, the power of the Dark Sea is immense, and Yao Tian is far too strong—so strong it's terrifying. With her around, the demon gods are virtually endless.

However, Zhongli ignored all of this, whether it was the people fighting below, the demon gods who came to his door, or the Dragon King Ruotuo, he didn't care about any of them.

Slowly, Zhongli approached Cang Yu's corpse. Cang Yu's body had already been placed behind him.

Seeing her like this, Zhongli knelt down and tidied her hastily styled and somewhat disheveled hair. Looking at her face, as white as paper, Zhongli's expression remained calm. But, didn't he really feel pain? Did the rock really not feel pain?

Back then, long before Gui Zhong died, his heart had already ached once. And the consequence of that was that he ended the entire Demon God War.

This time, Zhongli felt that pain again, and at that moment, his eyes, the things that had been sealed for so long, finally loosened.

Above the divine realm, towering mountains rise above a sea of ​​clouds, a place resembling a fairyland, yet surpassing it in beauty. Within that sea of ​​clouds, one can vaguely see divine dragons soaring into the sky, swirling between heaven and earth.

And atop the highest mountains stood a colossal pillar. This pillar was enormous, yet now it was adorned with three wondrous, shimmering patterns.

In the distance, the white-haired man looking at the stone pillar smiled slightly, turned to the girl beside him and said, "Xiao Nuo, this time there are three members of our clan who have awakened their dragon souls and dragon patterns. This is the most I've ever seen, isn't it?"

The girl nodded, hugged the man's arm intimately, and said, "Yes, Grandpa said that dragons are already rare, and only one in ten thousand can awaken their dragon markings through trials."

"It's already quite good that three people have awakened this time. After all, in the past, there were often none at all."

The white-haired man patted the girl's head and said with a smile, "That's right. After all, not everyone is like my Xiao Nuo, who awakened directly without going through the Dragon Abyss Trial and with the help of her clan."

The girl blushed slightly, then said, "Brother Fei, you're the same. You're not a dragon, but you still awakened."

The man puffed out his chest and said, "Hey, I'm practically half a dragon now, just not quite a dragon yet. But I definitely will be in the future."

Just then, the pillar suddenly trembled, and the next second, a dragon pattern appeared again. However, unlike the other three, this dragon pattern floated in the air, not on the pillar.

"What... what's going on?"

The man spoke. The girl paused slightly, then exclaimed, "This situation is very similar to mine back then. I didn't awaken the dragon mark as a god, and that dragon mark wasn't on the dragon pillar. Does that mean it's a dragon that's not part of the dragon clan?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a pair of eyes opened atop the distant mountains. Only then did they realize that dragons were coiled among those enormous mountains.

A terrifying aura was released, and at the same time, pairs of eyes opened and looked at the dragon pillar in the center.

"Those who have not yet awakened their dragon soul and become gods are not included in the Dragon Clan's ancestral records."

"I never expected there were still dragons who had fallen into exile. It's our old folks' fault for neglecting their duties."

One by one, voices rang out, very old. They were the strongest and oldest beings in the dragon race. Now, looking at the dragon pillar, a glimmer of light appeared in their eyes.

"Should I go and bring him back?"

The white-haired man spoke. Above, the most central old dragon shook its head, "No need. If he wants to come back, the dragon clan will certainly welcome him, but if he doesn't want to, we don't need to force him."

The man hesitated. "But he seems to be in trouble. Shouldn't we go and rescue him?"

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

Unexpectedly, all the old dragons laughed after the man finished speaking. Their laughter was accompanied by an overwhelming dragon aura that caused the entire space to tremble.

"Boy, you've been with our Dragon Clan for so long, and you're still so naive?"

"Rescue? Rescue what? Don't forget, he's a dragon..."

Chapter 492: A Fair Battle for the Demon Seed

The battlefield is already incredibly fierce. Humans are focusing on defense, but the enemy monsters keep coming in waves, and all they can do now is minimize casualties.

The war against the demon gods was not going well either. Although they had support from the Falling Star Plains, the demon gods on the other side kept coming in endlessly. They could kill them and they would come back again. They simply couldn't kill them all.

Now, no one knows what the meaning of war is, because no one knows how the war will end, or whether they really have a chance of winning.

But at that moment, Zhongli's figure walked out step by step, strolling on the battlefield as if he had nothing to do with the war, just walking slowly.

Arriving on the battlefield of the demon god, Zhongli looked at the demon god before him with calm eyes, devoid of any emotion.

"Zhongli, what's wrong with you..."

Wendy saw Zhongli and couldn't help but speak. Zhongli didn't look at anyone, but looked up at the sky and then said softly, "I'll end this war."

"End it? By what right! By what right do you have to!"

A demon god roared and charged towards Zhongli. However, just as it reached him, Zhongli's power erupted, a circular force spreading outwards, and then the world fell silent.
