He changed Tiwat

After saying this, he and Ningguang exchanged a subtle glance.

Ningguang understood immediately.

This was the first step she and Han Fulai had discussed at the Qunyu Pavilion the day before yesterday.

The first hurdle Liyue needs to overcome is the conflict between humans and the immortals. The immortals have come to Liyue Harbor to confront the Liyue Seven Stars, and if not handled properly, Liyue may face internal strife first. However, the rift between the humans and immortals in Liyue has been long-standing, and reconciliation in a short time is impossible.

Han Fulai's plan was to do the opposite: instead of trying to ease the conflict, he deliberately sent Ningguang and Keqing to intercept the Liyue Asuras outside the city. Keqing had always been critical of the Asuras, which would naturally cause the conflict to erupt prematurely.

What Han Fulai was doing at this time was to forcibly suppress the conflict temporarily with official business and create a common enemy for both sides. The Golden House is the lifeblood of Liyue, and the Emperor is the Acquaintance's ...

Whether Prince Tartaglia actually forced his way into the Golden House is irrelevant; he's just a scapegoat. We'll have the Liyue Asmodians and the Seven Stars team up to beat him up. Even if they force a confession, it's still a confession. Even without evidence, we can still attack his spirit.

To get the Liyue Asgardians to cooperate with the Seven Stars, both close friendship and shared hatred of the enemy are forms of cooperation.

D'Artagnan, of course, did not know that he was destined to take the blame, but he was not unjustly blamed, because he had indeed invaded the Golden House at this moment.

Inside the Golden House, mortar piles formed a small mountain reaching to the sky, seemingly endless. And deep within the Golden House, a golden dragon coiled atop a jade pillar, exuding an imposing aura.

Dadalia's eyes sharpened. Without even glancing at the unconscious Thousand Rock Army guards at his feet, he rushed along the path in the Golden House and arrived in front of the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body in just a few seconds.

He crouched slightly, activating the power of the Evil Eye, instantly covering his entire body with a suit of armor formed from the elemental power activated by the Evil Eye.

The elemental power of the Evil Eye swirled around him, almost tangible, causing Tartaglia's body to float up until it was level with the golden dragon's. He formed his right hand into a claw and swung it with all his might towards the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body. His hand passed right through the golden dragon's hard scales as if they were nothing.

A moment later, his hand detached from the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body. His hand was empty.

“As expected, the ‘Heart of God’ is not here.” D'Artagnan was not surprised at all; the Rock King’s feigned death was something he had anticipated.

If outsiders were present, D'Artagnan might have acted recklessly and madly, but he didn't need to. None of those who could become executors of the Fools were brutes. Being able to enter the Golden House to verify Mora's reserves and the Emperor's feigned death was already worth the price for him.

His ears twitched as he heard hurried footsteps outside the Golden House. D'Artagnan knew that the Thousand Rocks army from nearby had come to their aid. Although he was not afraid of the Thousand Rocks army at all, as a diplomat from Winterhold, he could not reveal his identity openly.

With the red mask covering his face, D'Artagnan snapped his fingers, and hundreds of bright yellow talismans instantly appeared around him. These were the "Talismans of No Taboos" that the Fatui had been secretly imitating during this period.

The Thousand Rock Army soldiers who rushed into the Golden House saw a strange man wearing a red mask, purple armor, and surrounded by bright yellow talismans. The strange man let out a maniacal laugh from beneath the mask, then transformed into a purple meteor and shot into the sky, shattering the ceiling of the Golden House with a single blow.

The talismans also transformed into a golden light as the person moved, shooting towards Lone Cloud Pavilion, located in the far east of Liyue Harbor.

At dusk that day, everyone in Liyue Harbor saw a white rainbow rise from the sea and stretch straight into the sky!

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Longest Day in Liyue's History (Part Six)

The extraordinary phenomenon of a white rainbow piercing the sun reappeared, and giant waves surged instantly on the sea outside Guyun Pavilion. Sea tornadoes shot into the sky, connecting the sea and the heavens. Wherever the tornadoes passed, they left behind enormous whirlpools capable of swallowing ships weighing tens of thousands of tons.

At this moment, everyone present except Ke Qing turned their gazes to Han Fulai, leaving Han Fulai completely bewildered.

On the night Han Fulai first entered Liyue Harbor, all the immortals present, including Ningguang, witnessed the extraordinary phenomenon of a white rainbow piercing the sun, which had reappeared after nearly four thousand years.

Han Fulai had no idea what had happened the night he drank with Zhongli, but he knew exactly what he should do now.

The second step of the "Young Master's Head Offering" plan is to release the demon god and frame the young master!

Han Fulai didn't know whether it was the young master or Ningguang who did it, but it didn't matter who did it, because in the end it was the young master who did it!

He bowed to the crowd and said loudly, "Lord Ningguang recently received intelligence that the young master of the Fools' Executor secretly broke the seal and released the sealed demon god to assassinate the Emperor. The assassin on the Jade Capital Platform that day was very likely the human form of the demon god. Today's strange phenomenon must be caused by the demon god released by that young master."

Ningguang nodded and continued, "This is the vortex demon god Oser from back then, who was sealed at the bottom of the sea by the Emperor with a rock spear for nearly four thousand years. After the Emperor was assassinated, during my investigation, I discovered that the Fools possessed the 'Unfettered Talisman' that the Emperor bestowed upon mortals during the Demon God War. It is likely that the Fools used the power of the 'Unfettered Talisman' to break the Emperor's seal and release the demon god."

After Ningguang finished speaking, she bowed deeply to all the immortals.

"The Demon God has reappeared. Ningguang earnestly requests all the immortals to gather at the Jade Pavilion and join us, the Seven Stars, in fighting against the Vortex Demon God Oser and protecting Liyue Harbor."

Gan Yu then stepped forward. "Master, fellow True Lords, the contract we signed with the Emperor has not been voided."

Grandma Ping nodded, turned to the Liyue Immortals beside her, and said, "For thousands of years, we Liyue Immortals have fought alongside the Emperor and defeated countless demons. Are we afraid now that the Emperor is no longer by our side?"

Without uttering a sound, Xiao leaped into the air and soared through the air, quickly becoming a black dot in the sky as it headed straight for the Jade Pavilion.

“The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons has already gone ahead. Who else is willing to go with this old woman?” Granny Ping looked around, and all the immortals nodded in agreement.

"On behalf of the people of Liyue, Ningguang thanks all the immortals." Ningguang bowed deeply and led Keqing and the soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Army toward the Jade Capital Terrace.

Taking this opportunity, Han Fulai walked up to Granny Ping, bowed, and said, "I am Han Fulai. I thank True Lord Gechenlang for taking care of me that day. If it weren't for True Lord's care, I might have had to sleep on the streets those days."

Gan Yu blushed, realizing she had forgotten that Han Fulai was a human being who needed to eat and sleep. If it weren't for Grandma Ping's care, Han Fulai probably wouldn't have made it to Yuehai Pavilion.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. I was just doing this on someone's behalf. Since you've stayed in my house and eaten my cakes, you're no stranger to me. Just call me Granny Ping, don't be like them and keep calling me 'True Lord'." Granny Ping raised her head and thought of her meeting with the Emperor that day.

Han Fulai was secretly delighted. Now that he had established a relationship with Granny Ping, the rest would be much easier. He bowed to Granny Ping again and said, "Granny Ping, I have a favor to ask. At this critical time for Liyue, every bit of strength is important. I hope to invite Miss Yanfei to the Qunyu Pavilion."

After saying that, Han Fulai took out a business card from his pocket, the very "VIP client" card that Yan Fei had given him. Right now, he still had to catch up with Qunyu Pavilion and Ningguang to carry out the next step of their plan, so he didn't have time to go find Yan Fei. But with the speed of an immortal, that was another matter.

He brought Yan Fei along, partly for the sake of his future plans, and partly because he hoped to have someone he knew who could protect him. Only he knew best that he was just a weakling, even less capable than a wild boar, and that he needed a bodyguard to protect himself on the front lines against the demon god.

Gan Yu always thought he had great strength, so of course she wouldn't give him any special treatment. Yan Fei, on the other hand, had some relationship with him and had this business card as a promise, so she probably wouldn't just leave him alone... probably.

Grandma Ping nodded, took the business card, took a few steps slowly, and then her figure suddenly disappeared.

Han Fulai then turned to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and said, "Immortal Master Liuyun, I have a few words to say, and I hope you can spare some time to talk to me."

In his plan, this "master of conversation" was of paramount importance; without her help, the entire plan might have failed.

The True Lord of Moon-Cut-and-Build-Sun and the True Lord of Water-Controlling and Mountain-Stacking exchanged a glance, and then, either stepping into the air or flapping their wings, flew towards the Jade Pavilion.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun flapped his wings and said, "I've been wanting to talk to you for a while now. Of all these people today, you're the most sensible one, unlike those Li Yue Seven Stars who disrespect the Immortal Master! Gan Yu is the same; she's become more and more disrespectful as she grows up, even hiding her plans to live with someone from her master. Let me tell you, when she was little, she always needed someone to pat her head before she could sleep..."

"Master!" Gan Yu shook her head, realizing that she seemed to have no way to deal with this talkative master, so she simply left the two of them and ran towards Yujingtai, her back view showing a disheveled escape.

"Sigh, this child, why does she always act like this whenever I talk to others about her childhood?" Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said in a tone that sounded completely unreasonable.

Han Fulai twitched the corners of his mouth and forcibly changed the subject: "Immortal Master Liuyun, Miss Keqing is actually just shy. You may not know this, but Miss Keqing is a huge fan of the Rock King Emperor in private. She has collected a whole room full of clay figurines of the Emperor, and she can only fall asleep every night with a pillow printed with the Emperor's image on it. The reason she treats you immortal masters this way is because she is jealous of your closeness to her idol, but she doesn't dare to say it outright, so she can only pretend to be strong."

"I'm sorry, A-Qing, you'll probably be doomed in the immortal circle from now on, but this is a necessary sacrifice to maintain a good relationship with Liu Yun!" Han Fulai apologized to Ke Qing in his heart.

"So you share the same interests. Cough, what I mean is, it turns out she also understands the greatness of the Emperor. Don't worry, I'm a magnanimous person and won't make things difficult for a mortal." Liu Yun flapped his wings with great poise, indicating that he would not pursue Ke Qing's disrespect for the time being.

"And Lady Ningguang praised Immortal Master Liuyun even more. She said that after seeing the 'Return to the End Machine' invented by Immortal Master Liuyun, she realized that the wisdom of immortals is beyond the reach of mortals. She once told me in private that Immortal Master Liuyun is worth five Foolish Masters!" Han Fulai knew Liuyun's temperament in the game, and his understanding deepened after spending time with Gan Yu. He knew very well how to flatter True Lord Liuyun.

"Heh, she does have a good eye. Among the immortals of Liyue, if I am second in mechanical arts, I'm afraid even the Emperor wouldn't dare to claim to be first." Liu Yun proudly raised his slender crane neck.

"Master Liuyun is truly extraordinary. We will have to rely heavily on his protection when we fight the demon god later," Han Fulai said, pressing his advantage.

"Hmph, protecting mortals is what we immortals should do, not for the praise of those mortals." Liu Yun said proudly, accepting the praise.

After Han Fulai had pleased Liu Yun, he finally revealed the purpose of their conversation: "By the way, may I ask Immortal Master Liu Yun a favor?"

As Liu Yun got into the conversation, he flapped his wings without any hesitation and said, "Go ahead and talk."

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Longest Day in Liyue's History (Part 7) [4k]

Han Fulai flew up to the Qunyu Pavilion riding on the back of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.

In the past, Han Fu might have spontaneously recited a couplet, "With ten thousand strings of cash around my waist, I ride a crane down to Yangzhou," displaying his high spirits. After all, not everyone could experience such a flight on a crane. But this occasion was clearly inappropriate. On one hand, the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was a celestial being who had kindly given him a ride, and it would be ungrateful of him to treat him as a mount. On the other hand, the atmosphere in the Qunyu Pavilion was so somber that he was not in the mood for witty remarks.

Seeing that Liu Yun and Han Fulai were already in place, the Liyue immortals, including Yan Fei, and Ning Guang and Ke Qing gathered together.

Ningguang, with a serious expression, explained the current situation to Han Fulai and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun: "The Vortex Demon God Oser is heading towards Liyue Harbor. Judging from its current movement speed, it will invade the near sea of ​​Yunlai Sea in ten minutes. I just discussed with you all the possibility of intercepting the Demon God's landing, and the result of the discussion was—we are not confident."

Han Fulai followed Ningguang's gaze and saw the enormous figure on the sea surface. Although it was still far away, he could already make out Ausel's shape. Before, when people only talked about the nine-headed sea serpent, they always thought it was just a huge sea beast. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, Han Fulai realized that this was not a sea beast at all, but clearly a nine-headed dragon!

Oser's neck alone was a hundred feet tall, and with all nine heads standing upright, they were like nine colossal pillars connecting heaven and earth. Han Fulai had no doubt that if Oser were released to the near sea, simply moving its enormous body would trigger a tsunami that would submerge the entire Liyue Harbor.

Although several nautical miles separated Qunyu Pavilion from Ausel, Han Fulai could already feel the thick, sticky texture in the air, as if he were in a bathhouse, his breath steaming with moisture. This was even with the protective array surrounding Qunyu Pavilion. Outside Qunyu Pavilion, dark clouds had already gathered, and a torrential downpour had begun.

This is the water elemental power that the demon god Oser possesses. It doesn't even need to condense its power; its mere existence is enough to cause changes in celestial phenomena.

“Some of the new recruits in the Thousand Rock Army can barely stand. The pressure from the ancient demon god seems to be extremely harmful to ordinary people. But that’s precisely why we mustn’t let that monster get close to the civilians of Liyue Harbor,” Keqing said.

Her face was filled with worry. The mere pressure of the Demon God had already rendered nearly 10% of the Thousand Rock Army soldiers incapable of fighting. What if they were to face the Demon God directly? The Thousand Rock Army soldiers were far more physically capable than ordinary civilians. If it were an ordinary civilian from Liyue Harbor, they might have already fainted by now.

Han Fulai was slightly puzzled. He really didn't feel any pressure. However, since he wasn't a native of Teyvat, it wasn't strange that he was indifferent to the demon god. Just less than a month ago, the demon god Oser was just an animation in a mobile game to him.

At this moment, Gan Yu also stepped forward and said, "The result of our discussion just now is that we will take the presence of all the immortals and the Seven Stars as the main force, and use this group of Jade Pavilion members as the defense line, to try to intercept Osael in the outer sea of ​​Yunlai, or at least delay its progress, giving the residents of Liyue Harbor time to evacuate. The Thousand Rock Army members remaining in Liyue Harbor have already begun to guide the residents to take temporary refuge under the leadership of the other Seven Stars."

Han Fulai knew that Gan Yu had included him in the main team, but he had no objection.

If it were a few days ago, he might have wanted to find an opportunity to return to the ground to take charge of the evacuation and refuge work and avoid this battle, but this time is different. He has made all the preparations he can—this is the first time since he came to Teyvat that he has the opportunity to write the “script” himself and make history. How could he let such an opportunity pass?

"I've given you a chance, you can't let it slip away!" Han Fulai said to himself.

Seeing that everyone present agreed, Ningguang nodded and said, "Actually, we are not without the power to fight back. In addition to the spell formations, the Jade Pavilion also has three 'Return to the End Machines' that we recently found. The 'Return to the End Machines' are one of the powerful weapons used to deal with demon gods in ancient times, but after a thousand years, we don't know how much power they still have."

"Hmph, the inventor of the Returning to the End is none other than myself." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng raised his long neck. "What can you mortals research into immortal mechanisms? But if I make a few minor improvements to this old crossbow, it will be an evolution beyond your imagination."

Ningguang clearly already knew this and was waiting for Liuyun to say this. Seeing this, she smiled slightly and said, "This is indeed a 'celestial opportunity,' and we will rely on the True Lord's help. In this way, we can use 'New Return to the End' to fight against the demon god. All the immortals present can also infuse it with immortal power, so there is no need to worry about it lacking energy."

Han Fulai remained outwardly calm, but a great weight was lifted from his heart. His private conversation with Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun just now was about this "Return to the End Mechanism". Liu Yun had already agreed to his request and would "make some modifications" to the Return to the End Mechanism according to his requirements.

Having received Liu Yun Zhenjun's reply, Ningguang no longer held back her strength. Her expression turned solemn, and her entire aura changed, making her resemble a high and mighty queen, awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

"In that case, there's no time to lose. The decisive battle begins now!"

Ningguang's body suddenly rose into the air, her hands forming intricate hand seals. Instantly, magic circles lit up around her, surrounding her in the center. Ningguang hovered in the center of the magic circles, her fingers tapping rapidly, as if pressing transparent piano keys.

Han Fulai watched Ningguang's movements and clicked his tongue in amazement—Ningguang, are you piloting a Gundam? You've even started micro-managing!

As if to confirm his idea, with Ningguang's movement, golden light rose from the outer perimeter of Qunyu Pavilion, and at the junction of the golden light, several shield-shaped giant cannons floated.

"Isn't that a floating cannon?!" Han Fulai almost couldn't help but complain.

At the same time, a deck made of rock elements rose up on the open ground of Qunyu Pavilion Square. Three Return Machines were placed prominently at the front of the deck, and they were even arranged in a row in a very scientific way.

"This is a triple-mounted 460mm Yamato gun, right?!" Han Fulai felt his brain trembling.

With a flap of his wings, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed the Wind, and a golden light flashed, transforming the three seemingly old crossbows into brand new ones, with immortal power flowing subtly across their bodies.

The three immortals, namely, the Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building True Lord, the Water-Managing and Mountain-Stacking True Lord, and the Cloud-Leaving and Wind-Borrowing True Lord, exchanged glances, already in tacit agreement. With the Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building True Lord as the central array eye, the array was connected, while the Water-Managing and Mountain-Stacking True Lord and the Cloud-Leaving and Wind-Borrowing True Lord each occupied one side, forming a miniature immortal power array to preside over the final mechanism.

Ningguang then spoke, her voice spreading throughout the entire Qunyu Pavilion like a broadcast.

"Attention all units, prepare for battle. Qunyu Pavilion, advance at maximum speed!"

"—The Space Battleship Gungyoku, is it?!" Han Fulai was too tired to even comment anymore.

At Ningguang's command, the Jade Pavilion, still suspended in mid-air, suddenly accelerated. The surrounding scenery rushed past, but those on the Jade Pavilion felt almost no tremor. This level of comfort astonished even Han Fulai, who had traveled by high-speed rail and airplane, leading him to marvel at the unparalleled sorcery technology of Liyue.

Within a minute, Qunyu Pavilion traversed a distance of several thousand meters and arrived in front of the Demon God Oser.

Upon getting closer, Han Fulai finally felt the reality of facing the demon god. The size of the Jade Pavilion was already enormous, but in front of the demon god Oser, it was nothing more than a larger rock.

The demon god Oser had clearly noticed the Jade Pavilion as well. One of its nine heads opened its massive mouth, and elemental power condensed within it, seemingly intending to destroy the Jade Pavilion in one blow.

"Now! Fire!" The Condensing Light Seal changed again, and the floating cannons surrounding the Jade Pavilion lit up with dazzling golden light, shooting straight at the head of the Vortex Demon God Oser.

At the same time, the three Returning Machines also fired simultaneously. The immortal power of the three True Lords condensed into three mighty pillars of light, rushing towards Ausel's giant mouth and directly shattering the elemental power that had not yet condensed in Ausel's mouth.

Oser cried out in pain, roaring to the sky with a deafening sound. Its several heads also shook, simultaneously gathering the power of water element.

This time, Oser learned from his mistake and stopped using moves that required too much preparation time. Instead, he directly gathered his elemental power into small water cannonballs and fired them continuously at the Jade Pavilion.

Ningguang remained calm and composed, maneuvering the surrounding floating cannons to launch a counterattack, unleashing barrages that shattered the water cannonballs mid-air.

Occasionally, one or two water cannonballs would land in front of the Jade Pavilion, but they could not break through the Jade Pavilion's magic array defense. They could only create ripples on the crystal protective shield generated by the rock element.

"Port side, the barrage is too thin!"

Ningguang was still dissatisfied and adjusted the cannon to fill the gap in the barrage.

The Thousand Rock Army soldiers present cheered, believing that the firepower of the Jade Pavilion was overwhelming the Demon God Oser.

But Han Fulai knew that wasn't the case; the ancient demon god, Ausel, had not suffered any real harm.

The firepower from the Jade Pavilion only delayed Ausel's movement; it was far from sufficient to inflict serious damage.

Moreover, the executive prince of the Winter Kingdom and the fools will not just stand by and do nothing.

As if echoing Han Fulai's idea, spatial rifts suddenly appeared on the deck of the Qunyu Pavilion. These spatial rifts ignored the Qunyu Pavilion's array defenses and enveloped the entire deck.

From the spatial rift, squads of fully armed Fools' advance troops emerged, their target clear: the three Returning Machines controlled by the immortals, including the Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building True Lord. Clearly, the young master, observing from an unknown location, also realized that the Returning Machines were the key to the Jade Pavilion's firepower; his objective was to destroy them, depriving the Jade Pavilion of their main cannons and rendering them unable to harm Ausel.

Han Fulai frowned slightly. As far as he knew, there was indeed a scene in the story where the Fatui teleported to the Jade Pavilion. Liyue didn't have such teleportation technology. Judging from the style of the spatial rift, it seemed to be a lost technology from the Kingdom of Kanria that used the ley lines for teleportation. Why the Fatui of Winterfell would possess such technology was a question that would likely have to be explored later.

More importantly, the number of Fool's soldiers teleported to the Jade Pavilion was far greater than in the game, at least three companies of several hundred men each. Each company was responsible for destroying one Final Descent Machine. They surged towards their target like a tidal wave, their muskets and rock cannons flashing as they unleashed a barrage of fire on the Final Descent Machines. The Thunderfire Sorcerer waved his lantern, sending bolts of lightning striking the three immortals piloting the Final Descent Machines.

The three True Lords seemed oblivious, continuing to operate the Returning Machines, firing at the Demon God Oser, maintaining pressure on Oser and preventing it from finding an opening to accumulate power and destroy the Jade Pavilion in one strike. Small elemental crystal shields lit up around the three True Lords, protecting the Returning Machines. However, it was unclear how long this could last; the three Returning Machines were like rocks in the sea, teetering precariously under the relentless tide.

Fortunately, the number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers on the Qunyu Pavilion is far greater than the number in the game.

Without Ningguang needing to speak, Keqing, seeing the situation was turning against her, had already given the order:

"The three True Lords are manipulating the Return to the End Machine; do not let them be disturbed by the Fools!"

After saying this, Keqing took the lead and charged out, her longsword vibrating slightly and emitting a clear dragon's roar. Like a purple lightning bolt, she instantly rushed into the Fatui's formation.

Several Fool soldiers tried to stop her, but they saw the lightning elemental power on her sword flash, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and then they knew nothing more.

"The light of the sword is like mine, cutting off everything!"
