Chapter 553

The Quasi-Herrscher of the laws of Heavenly Principles, probably also sensed the irresistible threat of death. It roared to the sky, and the dark energy that was eroding the world of Teyvat gathered into an upward surging tide, pouring out without reservation.

However, it was in vain.

In terms of power level, Anqi, who possesses seven Ancient Dragon Authority and the power of the Abyss, is not inferior to Heavenly Principles's millennia of accumulation. Just like Nibelungen back then, she was not much weaker than Heavenly Principles.

In terms of skill, the Sword God's skill level remains the pinnacle of technique that Anqi has encountered so far, and no one or any move can surpass it.

Herrscher are monsters, but unfortunately, the Anqi Faction stand at almost the same level as Kevin. Even ordinary clones that don't rely on strength can still easily defeat Herrscher.

"Boom--"

After a world-class shock on both the physical and spiritual levels, fragments of the Sky Curtain fell like snowflakes.

Anqi took a step forward and walked to the disappearing white figure.

"...Thanks."

Heavenly Principles still expressed her gratitude. Although the Outer God before her was the culprit, she had prevented Teyvat from being swallowed by darkness, and for that alone, she deserved thanks.

Anqi naturally knew she was in the wrong—but thinking about it carefully, it was ultimately a matter of Heavenly Principles that caused the trouble in the first place, so could she really blame herself? Since things had come to this, Anqi could only sigh, and then said:

"You're going to die."

"I know. My lifespan was already running out, and when I forcibly appeared to stop you, I was already prepared to perish."

"Did you have any last words?"

Faced with the unusually calm Heavenly Principles, this was all Anqi could say.

The erosion of the Honkai is inherently difficult to reverse. In the Original World, there might be some useful technologies, but here, Anqi truly has no good methods. Furthermore, Heavenly Principles himself said that he had already exhausted his life force to maintain the Sky Curtain, and since he was already at the end of his life, there was no way to save him.

Heavenly Principles sighed softly, looking at Anqi with mixed feelings:

"Your power is terrifying, but I have also seen the approval of all living beings and gods... Perhaps I misunderstood something at the beginning. If I hadn't been so exhausted at the time that I had to make a quick decision, perhaps we could have sat down and had a proper talk, and things might not have turned out this way."

"Perhaps so."

Anqi couldn't say for sure whether she could have convinced Heavenly Principles if they had had a proper talk from the beginning.

After all, they had only met twice, the first time in a fight and the second time in a fight. She really didn't know what kind of personality Heavenly Principles had.

Will you treat Teyvat well?

"Yes. I have signed a contract, Teyvat world will establish diplomatic relations with my world as an allied civilization."

"That's good... that's good..."

Heavenly Principles has vanished.

He sealed himself at the very top of the heavens, both to resist the threat of Honkai Energy to the world and to use himself as a shield to block the path above the heavens, preventing the Outer God from breaking through the Sky Curtain and bringing even greater darkness.

But it's all over.

The Creator who created and has protected all beings to this day, the great primordial being, has ended His life and mission here.

There may be regrets, there may be worries, but in any case, He has done His best.

However, this calm and detached farewell caused Anqi to lose the joy of victory.

"So He's the good guy and I'm the villain, isn't that right?"

Anqi felt a bit conflicted.

But she quickly swept away this lingering gloom, looked up, and saw the path to leave this world. What mattered was still the Original World; whether the Heavenly Principles were good or bad, the outcome was already decided, and she wouldn't let such things hold her back.

"Repair the Sky Curtain. Teyvat is not yet mature enough to coexist with the Abyss forces of the outside world."

"Leave it to me."

The Dark Dharma Idol raised its hands high, supporting the crumbling Sky Curtain. While absorbing the Honkai Energy that was eroding the ground along the Sky Curtain, it forcibly filled the gaps in the Sky Curtain with the energy granted by the Seven Dragon Authority.

The myth of Anqi mending the sky in the Abyss.

The Descendant Anqi soared high into the sky, breaking through the barrier of the Sky Curtain, and continued upward until she crossed some kind of spacetime barrier.

She finally arrived outside the world and sent a connection request to the endless void.

'What is the progress of the Original World update?'

'The departure coincided with Kevin's return; did they manage to keep him calm?'

'Has the Path of the False God been achieved? Otto is not someone to be fooled; we mustn't let anything go wrong.'

'I wonder how preparations for the Finality War are going? Will the Chimera technology succeed on our clones?'

Anqi waited for a response with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, filled with many questions.

The worst-case scenario is the inability to establish a connection with the home world. That would mean the main body of the Aegis has suffered a complete defeat, and the Teyvat Aegis would have to find a way to contact the Aegis wandering elsewhere, and then join forces to fight their way back and check on their homeland.

Hopefully it won't come to that.

Please don't let it come to this!

The Teyvat Ange waited anxiously, and time seemed to slow down considerably.

Until, the connection request from the Thousand-Person Ruler was accepted by an incredibly vast network.

[Hey, you're still alive? Another one's connected. You guys are really lucky!]

In the main network, came the lazy words of Anqi from the Original World, as if she were eating sunflower seeds.

At the same time, a series of memories also came from the Original World: completing the Chimera technology, obtaining the Key to Godhood, defeating Kevin, and taking control of the Cocoon of the Finality.

The Teyvat Ange were stunned and silent for a moment before sending a series of polite and friendly greetings to the main network:

"I **#￥@%!!!" ×N
