He changed Tiwat

Ye Mingxiang looked at the two people in front of her and slowly said, "Once upon a time, there was a fish whose owner fed it every day at a fixed time, from fry to adult, without fail, rain or shine, day and night. Experience told it that its owner was a good person. One day, the owner came again, and the big fish came out of the water and looked up, opening its mouth to wait for food, but what it got was... a fishhook."

Han Fulai smiled and said, "If the fish grows big enough, it can not only swallow the bait, but it can even pull the fisherman into the water."

Jiang Xue patted the Eye of God in her arms: "For me now, this is just the power to practice my own way."

“One day you will find that everything you are doing now is in vain. Everything you are trying to protect will change with the times,” Ye Mingxiang said earnestly.

In fact, what Ye Mingxiang said might be the truth.

The significance of the divine eye bestowed upon humanity by Heaven is probably not as simple as "helping mankind possess the power to realize their dreams."

If they could have an open and honest conversation, Han Fulai would like to tell Ye Mingxiang that even if she were to break through the void and ascend to Sky Island, she might not be able to overcome the laws of nature. What Gu Hua couldn't do back then, she might not be able to do now either.

Moreover, it was precisely because Tianli was asleep that Zhongli was able to complete his plan. If you go to Sky Island now and kick down the door, waking Tianli up prematurely, you might not only suffer defeat and death, but you could also bring a catastrophe to the Teyvat continent.

But he couldn't say these things.

So he could only point his spear at Ye Mingxiang and recite two lines of poetry:

"Killing is for the purpose of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person."

I had a lot to do today, and I'm tired.

Take a day off. Resume tomorrow.

Chapter 296 A City Filled with Sorrow and Blood, All for a Single Thought of Saving the People [4k5]

As Han Fulai recited those two lines of poetry, the Calamity-Suppressing Spear in his hand suddenly trembled.

The seven-foot-two-inch-long spear had a water-blue body that shimmered with light, and a red glow burst from its tip. The spear was a deep crimson color, like cinnabar or old blood.

Han Fulai's face was solemn, and his body radiated the golden light of the Jade Shield. Under the blessing of the "Annihilation Precept" of the Calamity-Suppressing Spear, he had entered the realm of "Perfect and Sudden Cessation and Contemplation", his aura as deep as a bottomless abyss and as imposing as a mountain, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable power.

Although it is just quietly suspended in the air, no one would doubt that once it moves, it will have an overwhelming force.

—This is the power of a demon god.

Ye Mingxiang suddenly remembered an old friend from four hundred years ago—the Rock King Emperor of that time, who had also stood in front of him in the same way.

Four hundred years later, a person who possessed the dual inheritance of the Salt God and the Rock God also stood in his way.

"Are you here on behalf of Morax?" he asked.

“No, I speak for myself,” Han Fulai replied.

No further words were needed; both of them knew that this battle was inevitable.

For Ye Mingxiang, Han Fulai is an obstacle she must overcome; for Han Fulai, Ye Mingxiang is a rebel he must stop.

Even if the two share a common goal, they cannot coexist in the end.

Battles at this level are no longer mere exchanges of techniques between ordinary people.

The two individuals' energies intertwined and pulled each other together; with just a small trigger, they would unleash a deadly thunderous attack.

The saying "a single hair can affect the whole body" perfectly illustrates this point.

The battle was started by Jiang Xue's loud shout.

Using the "True Art" to power the "Thousand Rock Technique," Jiang Xue's sword once again displayed a massive sword beam tens of meters long.

He leaped high into the air and swung his sword directly at Ye Mingxiang.

This sword strike had previously cleaved down a hundred-meter-long giant serpent from the ruins; in terms of power, it was comparable to a strike from a demon god.

Ye Mingxiang raised one hand.

The golden sword light was trapped between his two fingers, unable to advance an inch.

Just like four hundred years ago, the Rock King Emperor held the long sword in his hand between two fingers.

The gap between humans and gods is an insurmountable chasm.

To be able to unleash even one strike against a god is already remarkable for a human being. But that's all there is to it.

The insurmountable barrier that Ye Mingxiang couldn't overcome back then, Jiang Xue is also unable to overcome now.

To overcome this insurmountable barrier, Ye Mingxiang paid the price of giving up her human form.

He activated the power of the bloodline of the King of Kanria, absorbed the curse of the Kanria people, transformed all the blood in his body into "karma," and transformed his body into an incarnation of the dark abyss, thus obtaining the divine power of the "God of the Abyss."

However, this divine power was not lasting. Every second, his life, which had lost the protection of the "curse of immortality," was burning.

This means he must act quickly.

With a flick of his two fingers, the golden sword light shattered into pieces, and a black light swept back along the sword light, striking Jiang Xue's Thousand Cliff Ancient Sword.

This was merely a casual strike he made while manipulating the energy of the abyss, yet this single strike caused Jiang Xue to spit out blood and fly dozens of feet away.

If Jiang Xue's Thousand Cliff Ancient Sword hadn't been forged from divine bedrock, this single counterattack would have destroyed his sword and killed him.

Almost at the same time that Jiang Xue launched her attack, Han Fulai also made his move.

He raised his spear high, summoning a massive rock star as if drawing upon heavenly thunder.

"The laws of nature will prevail!"

A massive rock star, over a hundred meters in diameter, fell from the sky, like a real meteorite. Its power surpassed all of Han Fulai's previous "celestial phenomena," and its coverage area shrouded the entire central plaza of the Rock Hall in shadow.

Han Fulai himself was also within the scope of the attack.

With the space now sealed off by the "Layered Rock Nails," Ye Mingxiang has lost any chance of escaping through the spatial rift. No matter how fast he moves, he has no chance of escaping such a wide-ranging attack.

Ye Mingxiang did not run away; he raised his sword.

Then, Yan Xing, Han Fulai, and Ye Mingxiang herself all disappeared without a trace.

Ye Mingxiang's attack sent Jiang Xue flying far away from the center of the battlefield.

With no leverage in mid-air, Jiang Xue would likely crash into the cliff outside the rock hall like a cannonball if no external force intervened.

Even if they don't die, they'll at least break a bunch of bones.

Fortunately, a dark blue silk thread appeared just in time and caught Jiang Xue's ankle in the most critical situation.

It is the "Lingluo Zongming Suspension" of Yelan.

During the earthquake, Ye Lan was buried under the rocks caused by the giant serpent of the ruins. Fortunately, she used her magic in time and was not injured by the falling rocks. Ye Lan finally crawled out of the pile of rocks and saw Han Fulai and Ye Mingxiang confronting each other.

And then she saw Jiang Xue fly out backwards.

Without a second thought, Ye Lan immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue landed, coughing up a mouthful of blood, her breathing still uneven.

Ye Mingxiang's casual strike had already injured him.

No matter how unwilling he was, Jiang Xue understood that this battle was beyond his level to participate in.

Now, all we can do is hope that Han Fulai can defeat Ye Mingxiang.

Jiang Xue looked up at the central square of the Rock Hall, but was immediately shocked by the scene before her.

“This is…” Jiang Xue stared blankly at the central square.

What came into his view was a semi-circular barrier, one half of which was a thick, inky black, while the other half was a dazzling white, like sunlight.

Like an inverted giant bowl, the barrier completely obscures everything in the central square, including the "Layered Rock Nail," making it impossible to see what lies inside from the outside.

Black and white blend together, like yin and yang, day and night, inseparable.

Ye Lan, who was standing to the side, uttered two words softly: "...exterior scene."

As a member of a sorcerer family in Liyue, Yelan has a deep understanding of the Liyue sorcerer tradition.

The Liyue Celestials possess three closely guarded secrets: the alchemy cauldron, the talismans, and the landscape.

The alchemical furnace and talismans are not difficult for ordinary people to understand; they are the commonly known methods of refining pills, magical artifacts, and drawing talismans and chanting incantations. Ye Lan has inherited some of these skills from her family. However, the "external vision" skill is something that even her ancestors, who fought alongside the immortals, failed to learn.

It is said that this is a skill that only immortals can master, a supernatural power to create cosmic caves through mental imagery.

Liyue's Asgardian Lord Ruge is a master of this art, creating the "Dust Song Jar" that allows one to escape the mortal world and create their own free and unfettered realm. In magical terms, it is like "containing Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed, and storing the sun and moon in a jar," which is the essential difference between humans and immortals.

The Liyue Asgardians each possess their own grottoes, constructed from the power of the external landscape. A small cave can even contain the space equivalent to an entire mountain. For example, the grotto of the Minghai Qixia True Lord, which Han Fulai and Shen He once visited, features a spectacular sea of ​​clouds and beautiful mountain peaks, reflecting the landscape of this immortal's mind.

Legend has it that the Geo Archon, the "Ancestor of All Immortals," possessed the power of his Outer Forms to move mountains and fill seas—a divine ability that even immortals marveled at. During the War of the Demon Gods, the Archon used his Outer Forms to alter the terrain of Liyue and suppress numerous demon gods. For example, the evil dragon that dwelled on Mount Qingce, as described in the stories, was divided into several pieces by the Archon and sealed with his Outer Forms, suppressing it throughout Liyue.

The ancient Rock Dragon King, the Jada Dragon King, was also sealed by the power of the Outer Realm.

Beneath Mount Hulao, at the base of the Crouching Dragon Tree, lies the secret grotto-heaven where the Dragon King Ruo Tuo was sealed. Legend has it that three immortals, including the True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacking Mountains and the True Lord of Slicing Moon and Building Sun, worked together to create a grotto-heaven capable of containing the Dragon King Ruo Tuo, and then the Rock King Emperor personally defeated and sealed him away.

The reason the Geo Archon summoned the immortals to create a grotto-heaven using their mental imagery was precisely to prevent his battle with Ruoduo from affecting the people of Liyue—when these two fought, the entire land of Liyue became a battlefield, altering the terrain far beyond Mount Hulao. It is said that from Fu'ao Valley near the Rock Abyss to the Southern Gate, there are battle scars left by the Geo Archon and Ruoduo.

The fact that the battle between Han Fulai and Ye Mingxiang created a grotto-heaven outside the scene can only prove one thing—the power used by these two is already above the level of immortals, and their mental landscapes can form their own world within this rock hall!

Even though Ye Lan was usually calm, she couldn't help but worry. Even though she was powerless to participate in the battle between Han Fulai and Ye Mingxiang, the second of the three tasks Ning Guang had given her was to protect Han Fulai's life.

Ningguang somehow obtained information that someone was planning to take action against Vice Minister Han, and the location was in the Layered Rock Abyss. Therefore, she specifically instructed Yelan to prevent him from entering the lower area of ​​the Layered Rock Abyss.

The reason Ye Lan entered the lower level of the Layered Rock Abyss before Han Fulai, and even destroyed the passage to the "Wishing Stone" in the "Rugged Stone Hall," was ultimately to prevent him from being involved in the dangers of the bottom of the Layered Rock Abyss—although Han Fulai still thinks that Ye Lan was trying to steal his credit...

Now, she and Jiang Xue, her two "bodyguards," are truly powerless.

In the "fluorescent narrow passage", Ke Qing held Zhi Qiong with one hand and swung her sword with the other to shatter the falling rocks above their heads.

The "bumpy breathing" lasted significantly longer than Zhiqiong had described, and it was definitely not a small earthquake that "passed in a dozen seconds." Although the earthquake was intermittent, it had lasted for at least several minutes, and Keqing even suspected that the tunnel might collapse.

In fact, if Keqing hadn't reacted quickly enough and pulled Zhiqiong along, dodging the falling rocks as they rushed in, they would have been buried by the rocks long ago if they had stayed where they were.

At this moment, she was somewhat glad that she had gone ahead and left the Thousand Rock Army soldiers she had brought with her at the camp; otherwise, there would probably have been many more casualties in the earthquake.

She would leave the soldiers behind, partly because the terrain at the bottom of the Abyss was complex and without a map, even a large number of people would get lost, and partly because ordinary soldiers couldn't keep up with Keqing's lightning-fast speed.

Now she only needs to take care of Zhiqiong, which has reduced a lot of pressure.

"Did I take the wrong turn?" Even in her busy schedule, Ke Qing didn't forget to confirm the direction with Zhi Qiong.

In order to avoid falling rocks, she naturally didn't have time to figure out her location.

Zhiqiong held onto her beret with one hand, while Keqing grabbed her other hand. She was too busy running to bother checking the map.

Even so, her sense of direction was not affected at all—"Heading west is the right way!"

"Going west... that's a bad omen."

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The sunrise in the east symbolizes the origin of life, while the sunset in the west symbolizes the end of life. Therefore, the old saying in Liyue is that when a person dies, they are said to "return to the west".

Ke Qing pursed her lips and quickened her pace.

The outdoor grotto in the center of the rock hall is actually a special phenomenon that was created in response to the divine power used by the two people.

When storytellers describe the radiance of the star Tianquan, they often use the phrase "with a thought, it can swallow up rivers and mountains" to describe the supreme power of Tianquan. However, when applied to a demon god, it is a very realistic description.

Humans need external objects and techniques such as spells, magical artifacts, and talismans to wield extraordinary power. The essence of the Eye of God is also an "external magical organ." But demons do not need such magical organs because they are born with this extraordinary power. They can connect with the energy of heaven and earth with a thought.

In the words of the Liyue Celestials, the mental landscape is also known as the "inner landscape." The inner landscape manifests outward and merges with the heavens and earth; the space created by the combination of one's own energy and the power of the heavens and earth is the "outer landscape."

While the Liyue immortals possess the ability to create external landscapes, they also have limitations. They need rare materials containing elemental power, such as "Sparkling Gold Mud" and "Jadeite Rock," to assist in casting spells in order to open up grotto spaces, while the demon gods do not have such limitations.

As an energy entity, the thoughts of a demon god can materialize into a world, and the only thing needed to maintain the external landscape is the energy of the demon god itself.

For example, the storm that Oser, the "Vortex Demon God," brings when he appears is Oser's "outdoor scenery." Similarly, Inazuma's Thunder God Balzeb can also create "Ichishin no Sugoro" (Pure Land of One Heart) using his ability to create outdoor scenery, thus establishing his own eternal pure land.

Although demon gods vary in strength and the power of the external world manifests in various forms, mastering the spatial power of the external world is one of the hallmarks of their status as demon gods.

When Han Fulai used his power, his "exterior view" also appeared—it was a void that did not exist in this world, a pure white void, empty of everything.

In a sense, having nothing means having everything.

Correspondingly, Ye Mingxiang's "exterior view" is the pitch-black deep space outside the world, a pitch-black universe that can devour everything.

The interplay of black and white exterior elements creates a wondrous balance that envelops the space.

Han Fulai's "Heavenly Principle Drive" was no less powerful than a strike from Zhongli himself. Although it might not be as powerful as the Liyue War God in his prime, it had definitely reached the level of a Demon God.

If this blow were to truly land, it would cause the earth to collapse and mountains to crumble.

However, his attack failed to bring down the rock star, because a long sword reaching to the sky blocked the falling rock star.

The Thousand Rocks Ancient Sword in Ye Mingxiang's hand had turned completely black, and a jet-black sword light burst forth from it, blocking the falling Rock Star. When the two collided, the jet-black sword light disappeared without a trace, and Rock Star turned into a flurry of dust falling from the sky.
