I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Creak! Creak!

Although Gan Yu did not look up, she could clearly see what Zhong Li was doing just by listening to his voice.

The same was true of the travelers beside her.

Even the two mindless demons who were lying on the ground, unable to move an inch, and constantly roaring and howling, quieted down and listened intently to the sound of the door slowly opening.

Creak! Creak!

In a daze, just from that sound, Gan Yu seemed to see something in the doorway above the sky.

The power of the seven elements flows endlessly, and all mortals, even the maintainers of this world, are merely users of the power of the elements and the power of the deep abyss.

And inside this door.

One eye slowly opened.

The pale golden pupils felt strangely familiar to Gan Yu and the traveler, but as if to protect themselves, their minds couldn't recall where they had ever seen those eyes before.

The pupils reflected the figures of the women on the Jade Capital Platform, beside the bluestone table, and also the two demon gods lying on the ground.

Then came the dust storms and turbulent waves of Liyue Harbor.

Then comes the majestic mountains and rushing rivers of Liyue.

In the end, the entire elemental world of Teyvat was reflected in those pupils.

Chapter Sixty, Final Act Two

The pupils continued to gradually take in everything around them.

The entire world of Teyvat seemed like a tiny, dreamlike bubble, quietly floating within golden pupils.

Then, the golden pupils gradually rose, taking in the owner of the pupils as well.

It was a huge and terrifying dragon.

Seven heads and a single tail, nine claws and two wings.

The ferocious and terrifying dragon's head is adorned with a crown of seven colors.

There are flames, frost, rocks, green grass, emerald winds, thunder, and ripples.

The power of the seven elements is so harmonious on the body of this seven-headed dragon.

In the dragon's palm, the dreamlike bubble of the Teyvat world resembled a tiny egg, appearing fragile yet full of life.

Then, Gan Yu saw herself on the Jade Capital Platform and the Rock King Emperor slowly pushing open the door of light in the dragon's pale golden pupils.

The pale gold of the pupils and the pale gold radiance in the eyes of the Rock King Emperor gradually merged, and then suddenly became the eyes of the Rock King Emperor.

Creak! Creak!

The Rock King finally pushed open the gate of light before him, stepped inside, and disappeared without a trace.

The gates of light in the sky gradually closed.

........

"Ha~~!"

Gan Yu suddenly exhaled a long breath and came back to her senses.

With a look of fear, she recalled what she had just seen, then turned her gaze to the traveler beside her.

The traveler girl's situation was even worse than hers.

The girl's eyes were filled with an extreme fear of seeing something incredible, a natural fear of something powerful that she couldn't understand.

It's as if the world you live in is nothing more than a tiny glass ball in the hands of some giant.

Knowing this truth, even though you believe the giant wouldn't damage the glass ball, the sense of powerlessness that the entire world could be destroyed at will is something no intelligent being would be unafraid of.

Anyone who possesses wisdom will inevitably experience fear.

"Could this be the world that the Rock King Emperor saw?"

Compared to the well-traveled and knowledgeable young woman who has seen many worlds, Gan Yu has less knowledge about things, so her fear is also less.

"It should be...yes." The traveling girl licked her lips.

Suddenly, Paimon appeared on the traveler girl's shoulder and spoke her question: "Whoa! Mr. Zhongli, it seems you're still hiding many things from us."

"What...does that mean??" Gan Yu's expression suddenly brightened, and the tears that had turned into ice crystals just now showed signs of melting.

“Mr. Zhongli probably still doesn’t want to see Liyue Harbor and the people of Liyue suffer a real disaster.” Paimon crossed his arms and nodded knowingly: “After all, you see, those two released demon gods couldn’t even get close to Liyue Harbor before they were blocked.”

"And both the sandstorms and the waves only remained at a certain level."

"You were so resolute just now, but Mr. Zhongli still can't let go of Liyue, can he?"

"Really???" Gan Yu's expression brightened even more.

She then remembered what she had just done and said, and her face fell again.

"Your Majesty... what unspeakable secret does Your Majesty have? Why... why is he unwilling to tell Gan Yu?"

"I don't know about that..." Paimon shrugged. "Perhaps..."

"Don't you want to keep him working overtime?"

.........

Guyun Pavilion by the sea.

Inside the four-sided barrier.

The battle between the five immortals and Accelerator grew increasingly fierce.

However, while the immortals fought with reckless abandon, Accelerator and his ilk would dodge and delay whenever possible.

Then, as the immortals grew increasingly impatient...

Accelerator and his companions suddenly stopped in mid-air, ceasing their attack and instead flying towards the outside of the barrier.

Boom!

A loud bang.

Grandma Ping stood in the sky, and the force of her fist created a huge shockwave that shattered the entire barrier.

Then, her actions were stopped by words.

The Crimson Kite Immortal calmly shook the fire source on his fist and said to the other immortals, "Our mission is complete, so you may now make yourselves at home."

"Huh??" Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun felt a surge of anger: "Do you think you can come and go as you please in Liyue? Do you think you can bully us immortals at will??"

The Crimson Phoenix Immortal shook his head slightly: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that those two demon gods are still wreaking havoc in Liyue Harbor. Don't you all want to go and take a look? Or is it more meaningful for you to stay here and entangle with us?"

What she said makes perfect sense.

"Whoo~~!"

The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons gave her and Accelerator a deep look, their faces obscured by the Yaksha mask.

Without saying a word, he stepped on the wind and clouds, holding a long spear, and instantly disappeared from his spot, flying towards Liyue Harbor.

The other immortals were the same; although their expressions were somewhat gloomy and uncertain, they all chose to let go of the so-called "Apostles" in front of them and headed towards Liyue Harbor.

In less than a few minutes, they arrived above Yujingtai in Liyue Harbor at a speed far exceeding the maximum speed of the Southern Cross merchant ships.

Then they saw the door that emitted a pale golden light, and two demon gods lying prostrate on the ground, unable to move an inch.

And then there was Gan Yu and the traveler, who were completely untouched by the world, without a single scratch on their bodies, sitting at the bluestone table, drinking tea and eating pastries.

The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons was the first to rush to Gan Yu's side, asking calmly yet urgently, "Why is this place in such a state?"

Gan Yu kept her head down and didn't answer.

The young traveler hesitated for a moment, then handed over the tea she hadn't finished drinking, and took a pastry.

"Huh???" The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons was filled with question marks.

“It’s Mr. Zhongli…” the traveling girl said slowly.

"Zhongli?" Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Who is this person?"

"Rock King...Emperor?" The traveler girl tilted her head.

"Is it really... Rock King... Emperor?" It was True Lord Liuyun who took over the conversation.

“Your Majesty…why did it have to come to this?” The deer-like head of the Moon-Cut Sun True Lord was filled with pain: “It’s all our fault. We didn’t realize how unbearable the death of the Azure Glass Lord would be for Your Majesty.”

"What about the Emperor?" Granny Ping asked, leaning closer.

The young traveler shaded her eyes with one hand and pointed to the towering gate with the other, saying softly, "Entering."

"Then, it disappeared."

Chapter Sixty-One: The Final Act

A giant dragon with seven crowns on its head and seven heads and one tail.

It spreads upwards along the river of time in this Teyvat world.

The chaos brought about by the Liyue region of Teyvat has finally stirred the strings of time, plunging the future of this world into chaos once again.

Zhongli felt neither joy nor sorrow; he felt neither the delight of his wish to be fulfilled nor the fear of failure.

He was only thinking about her, simply thinking about her.

The uncertainty of the world stirs up waves of time.

Then, following the waves, we travel backwards into antiquity.

Then came the day in 2000.

It was an ordinary day, and it was an extraordinary day.

That was a day I had long anticipated, and a day I never wanted to come.

At this moment, Zhongli finally made up his mind and slowly extended his claws towards the river of time from two thousand years ago.
