Chapter Twenty-Five: Pupil

Such a high-level battle was quite overwhelming for Accelerator and Reimu Hakurei.

The same applies to the other three True Lords.

Despite his physical discomfort, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang stood up.

They were dumbfounded as they watched the battle unfold before them.

Having lived here for so many years, they naturally know how much time had passed and how much battle had been involved to achieve this level of fighting.

They originally thought that among all the demon-slaying gods in Teyvat, only the Rock King could reliably fight him, and even he dared not say that he was superior to him.

But now, this person who calls himself "Red Iris Immortal" Fu Hua, and who looks exactly like Qing Li Shangjun, is able to fight her to a standstill, and even occasionally gain the upper hand.

The three True Lords exchanged glances, realizing that this battle was proving to be somewhat difficult.

They simply cannot intervene in a battle at this scale; no matter how precise their elemental control is, they cannot reach such a level.

Forcibly intervening would disrupt the Great Sage's battle rhythm.

So they turned their attention back to Accelerator and Reimu Hakurei, who had been resting on the sidelines since earlier.

Since we can't help this side, let's take over that side.

Having made this decision, they were about to get up and take action.

An indescribable pressure suddenly emerged.

They seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, their muscles and elemental power trembling slightly.

A pressure emanating from a level far exceeding that of true life forms emanated from outside the [Pot Heaven] immortal technique.

Those were a pair of eyes.

The thought involuntarily popped into their minds.

Then, as expected, the sky above the Pot Heaven suddenly turned into nothingness, and a pair of eyes slowly condensed on it.

"Um??!!!!"

The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons naturally also sensed such eyes and gazes.

Fu Hua, who was fighting him, also noticed this.

She knew it was time to retreat.

Thinking this, she took advantage of the moment when the other party was slightly stunned, and suddenly retreated. The next second, she was in front of Accelerator and Reimu Hakurei.

They looked up at the sky together and whispered their prayers.

"Alliance Leader!"

Then, together with the four True Lords, they saw the eye that had just opened its pupils.

There was nothing in those pupils except pure golden light.

His gaze, majestic and divine, was devoid of any emotion.

As they ventured deeper, everyone seemed to be hallucinating, seeing an endless sea and a single, colossal tree on its surface.

The giant tree was covered with lush green leaves.

Beneath the giant tree, above the sea, are bubbles suspended in mid-air.

Magnificent, dreamlike, but also extremely fragile.

Beneath the sea, all is deep and dark, and nothing can be seen at all.

Before one of the bubbles, there was a seven-headed dragon, wearing seven different crowns, guarding the bubble in its hands.

Zoom in.

They saw everything reflected in the golden eyes on one of the dragon's golden heads.

Those were dreamlike bubbles, and within those bubbles lived the inhabitants of Teyvat, and...

The four of them are in Liyue, fighting against the so-called "Apostles".

The four immortals suddenly awoke.

Then, somewhat bewildered, he looked around, but there was no trace of the three [Apostles], and even the [Heavenly Pot] magic had dissipated without him noticing.

Only the travelers on the ground not far away were looking at them with blank expressions.

"Whew!"

The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons slowly exhaled a long breath.

His emotions were surging, but he, who was not good at expressing himself, couldn't say anything.

"What should we do?" Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun asked the surrounding immortals with difficulty.

The True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building Cry coughed twice: "Cough cough~!"

"Let's go back to Wangshu Inn to rest for a while, and then listen to the traveler recount the events, especially what happened during the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony that day. We can't miss a single detail."

“Good!” True Lord Lishan Dieshui nodded slowly: “It would be best to invite Granny Ping as well, so that she can be a witness and we can discuss the situation together.”

"Can!"

.....

Sky Island, an unknown space, an unknown location.

One of the beings slightly opened its eyes and looked in the direction of Liyue.

She/He stared quietly for a few seconds, then closed his/her eyes again.

.....

In Mondstadt, the free-spirited bards sang their hearts out in the main square as always.

Unfortunately, despite claiming to be Mondstadt's greatest bard, he only had a few little girls feeding pigeons around him, and very few people genuinely listened to his songs.

But the free-spirited bards didn't care at all.

He was always so free, always so happy.

Even now, having lost the heart of God and truly relinquished his earthly rule, he feels a long-lost freedom.

He was like a dandelion seed in Mondstadt, drifting with the wind, not knowing where he would land or grow.

But just as he was singing with such passion, he suddenly stopped.

He frowned and shifted his gaze toward Liyue.

He stared intently for a few seconds, then a smile appeared on his lips.

The song he sang had a different tone.

When I see all things growing...

Perfection can only be achieved for a fleeting moment.

Having nothing on the world stage

Only the stars guide us in secret.

【O God who lives on earth!】

Everything that has passed is but a prelude.

[For the sake of loving you, I will defy time.]

......

The songs of distant gods are naturally unknown to those living in Liyue.

In the blink of an eye, Accelerator, Reimu Hakurei, and Fu Hua were back in the house where Zhongli was.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw Zhongli training Bell and Subaru.

Zhongli's eyes were filled with golden light, and nothing else.

Fu Hua frowned slightly, wanting to ask what she had just seen, but then shook her head.

However, Accelerator arrogantly asked from the side, "Zhongli, didn't you say there was no danger?"

Zhongli suddenly came to his senses, and his pure golden pupils returned to normal.

He glanced at Reimu Hakurei and Fu Hua, who were unharmed, and then at Accelerator, whose body was covered in blood.

One hand is crossed in front of her chest, the other is placed on her chin, and she nods slightly.

"From a general rational point of view, as long as you are a little more cautious, not reckless, and adopt the right tactics, you can achieve the desired outcome."

"Hmm...you wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Now it seems that my thinking was wrong."

"Because you are... Accelerator!"

"Heh~~!"

A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Immortals Discuss the Law

Wangshu Inn

Three immortal beings in beast form and the young Demon-Slaying Great Sage were gathered on the top floor of the inn, discussing matters.

What they experienced today was so unbelievable that it exceeded their capacity to process it on their own.

Gathered around the dining table, the immortals calmed down a bit.

Then, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang began by asking, "What are your thoughts on today's events?"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun remained silent, while Li Shan Die Shui Zhenjun glanced at the other immortals but also said nothing.

Then, True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang asked again, "Why hasn't Granny Ping arrived? Wasn't a talisman sent to summon her?"

Lishan Dieshui Zhenjun shook his head slightly: "No, Granny Ping in Liyue Harbor seems unwilling to accept our talismans. She is closer to mortals than we are, closer to Liyue Harbor under the rule of the Seven Stars of Liyue, and must know more inside information."
