Hagintos said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, remember to revive my body and infuse it with life force so that my physique becomes strong."

"Teacher, has your body become stronger?"

Bai Ye thought of her teacher, who was inspired by the JOJO style.

No, this is too addictive, let's skip it.

"I'll see when the time comes!"

He said to Hagintos.

Hagintos rolled his eyes at Bai Ye: "Alright, I always feel like you're thinking about all sorts of crazy things. By the way, why don't you hurry up and continue using this Gods power, or how long are you planning to endure the pain?"

Directly using the power of the Gods will also cause some damage to the white flesh, but the power of Emet can repair it. The physical damage is gone, but the pain is still real and must be experienced.

"Aren't you getting used to it?" Bai Ye chuckled, then pointed his arm at the sea monsters that were thrashing about.

Continuing to manipulate the power of the Gods Emet, Bai Ye began absorbing the life force of these sea beasts and fish. Having received so much life force from the Gods, they had become far more powerful than their relatives outside, and their temperaments were far more ferocious. With the Gods's power taken over, this place was bound to collapse. When these sea beasts entered the waters outside Guyun Domain, it would cause severe damage to the surrounding seas and the passing passenger ships.

Therefore, these issues must be resolved.

Give me these life force!

The noisy waters began to quiet down slowly, and under Bai Ye's manipulation, their life force gradually entered Bai Ye's body.

Only after the waters had completely fallen silent did Bai Ye cease using his powers.

The heart representing Emet's power and the bones of the Gods Bifron, which had transformed into an arm, returned to their original state. Bai Ye put both of them into his Serenitea Pot and then sensed his current situation.

With the life force of countless sea beasts stored within his body, Bai Ye now felt full of energy and wished he could run 10,000 meters right now to add to the excitement.

"Have they all been treated yet?"

Xiao asked Bai Ye.

"Yes, I've had a massage."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Let's go now," Xiao said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye nodded.

Afterwards, the two left the place where the last remnants of the Gods Emet were located.

As they passed through the forest, the Hilichurl who had been lying down due to excess life force stood up and saw Bai Ye and Xiao launching an attack.

But how could these guys possibly be a match for Bai Ye and Xiao together? They were quickly dispatched by Bai Ye and Xiao.

The two of them got out of bed very smoothly.

After they left, the Anemo bard appeared with a smile at the entrance to the cave where they had disappeared.

"How terrifying, how terrifying! What have you done? Why are the monsters outside dying in droves?" Venti said in a frightened tone.

Xiao didn't know what expression to make.

Fear? Let alone these monsters influenced by Emet, even if the Gods Emet were to be resurrected, she wouldn't be a match for you, Lord Barbatos, would she?

Bai Ye glanced at Venti sideways. "It's simple! I have a lost Liyue technique called the Star Absorbing Technique, which absorbs the life force of these monsters. Venti, do you want to give it a try?"

"No need, this is fine."

Venti quickly made a 'scared' expression and waved her hands repeatedly.

Bai Ye really wanted to take out a Kamera and record Venti's current appearance.

Another dark chapter in Anemo Archon's history.

"Cough cough..." Xiao couldn't bear to watch any longer and coughed.

Let's go.

"Um."

Bai Ye and his two companions left the region where the Gods resided.

"Xiao, do we need to continue clearing it?" Bai Ye Yeqi went outside, put the Ruin Guard into his Serenitea Pot, and asked Xiao.

"It's not necessary for now. There are too many Gods in Guyun Domain; it can't be dealt with in one or two rounds."

Xiao shook his head.

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Ye nodded.

Several people left.

From afar, Zhongli watched Bai Ye and Xiao leave unharmed and nodded slightly. Then, a glow of Geo element appeared beneath his feet, and he returned to Liyue Harbor.

As they approached the seaside, Beidou's ships also came closer.

Bai Ye, Xiao, and Venti returned to the Dead Star. Bai Ye and Xiao made it through smoothly, while Venti was blocked by the Beidou.

"You stole our fleet's wine, didn't you?"

"Hey~"

Beidou glanced at Bai Ye and Xiao, then asked Venti, "You only drank it yourself, you didn't give it to them, did you?"

"Of course, of course, I can guarantee that."

Venti nodded quickly.

Xiao doesn't like drinking alcohol.

Even Venti wouldn't do something as cruel as giving a child like Bai Ye a drink.

"That's more like it."

Beidou nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Venti's words. Then, she looked at the fleet and gave the order to return.

"Raise the sails and set sail!"

The fleet began heading towards Liyue Harbor.

On the way back, Kazuha, who had not left the fleet, asked Bai Ye and the others about their situation.

Bai Ye didn't mention that he had obtained the power of the Gods, but only that he had purified the remnants of the Gods. Even so, Kazuha's eyes were filled with excitement as she listened.

"If I get the chance, I must see how you purify the Archon Residue."

Before disembarking, Kazuha said to Bai Ye.

"Yes, there will definitely be a chance."

Bai Ye and Xiao disembarked, and Kazuha waved goodbye to them.

As for Venti, he was detained by Beidou to tell the crew legendary stories in exchange for the drinks he had stolen and his round-trip tickets.

Xiao checked the time; two days had passed since Guyun Domain's visit.

It's evening now, time to rest.

Xiao quickly realized he should leave, and then he said to Bai Ye:

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Wait a mininute."

Bai Ye placed her hand on Xiao's shoulder again.

Xiao looked at Bai Ye, puzzled.

"Now that I have plenty of energy, let me absorb some more of your karmic burdens."

Bai Ye said to Xiao.

With Zhongli's cultivation techniques allowing his body to train, and the life force he absorbs preventing his physical strength from being depleted, his mental strain is minimized. Therefore, absorbing more karmic obstacles now shouldn't be a problem.

While we're at it, let's continue to mend the teacher's remnant soul.

Xiao nodded silently.

He allowed Bai Ye to absorb a wave of karmic obstacles.

Xiao felt that nearly half of the karmic obstacles in his body had disappeared, and his body felt much more comfortable than before.

It's almost time to get to the situation after the Archon War.

"That's enough for today. We'll absorb more next time we have the chance," Bai Ye said, releasing Xiao's shoulder.

"Um."

Xiao nodded silently.

Just then, Xiao and Bai Ye sensed that several fire butterflies seemed to emerge from the air.

Then, Hu Tao appeared in front of Bai Ye.

This Adeptal Art...

Bai Ye and Xiao sensed that Hu Tao's movements had become more bizarre and unpredictable.

Zhongli, what kind of Adeptal Art did you give her?!

Bai Ye thought to himself.

"I'm leaving now." Xiao glanced at the scene and immediately unleashed his full power to leave.

Even Yaksha knows when to slip away.

Hu Tao looked at Bai Ye:

"Oh, what a perfect match! I was just about to go out under the moonlight to compose some poetry when I happened to run into you, my friend! Come on, let's take a stroll together; maybe I'll find some inspiration?"

She took Bai Ye's hand and left.

Bai Ye's face showed a mixture of laughter and tears.

This is like someone impersonating Zhang Huaimin.

As for whether it's truly a mismatch, we can only ask that Guest Official the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor who's wandering around Liyue Harbor late at night with nothing to do.

Bai Ye was pulled along for a walk, and the Northland Bank did not rest; they resumed their voyage under the cover of night.

Originally, they planned to buy alcohol directly from Mondstadt. However, news from the Sangonomiya forced them to go there first. A major battle had just taken place there with the Shogunate Army, and many soldiers from the Watatsumi Island were wounded, with a severe shortage of medicine.

The trade between Beidou and Watatsumi Island has been ongoing for some time, so I quickly brought the medicinal herbs over. Kazuha also wanted to take this opportunity to tell Sangonomiya about Bai Ye's situation and hoped that he could then relay it to the shogunate.

Regardless of how well the two sides fight, the Archon Residue are still a problem.

The fleet, avoiding Inazuma's thunderstorms, soon arrived at Watatsumi Island.

We arrived at the port of Sangonomiya.

Goro Gorou, the Watatsumi Island with dog ears and a dog tail, was waiting here.

"Oh, you guys are getting impatient, aren't you?"

Beidou stepped down first and said to Gorou.

"Thank you, Beidou. We suffered a great loss when we were ambushed by the Shogunate Army, and we really need medicine now," Gorou said to Beidou.

"Alright, let's get right to the conversation and unload the goods. After we unload your medicinal herbs, we'll head to Mondstadt immediately. As for the payment, we'll settle it next time we meet."

There are very few people in this world who dare to renege on her Beidou debts.

She glanced at the bard who was now hiding.

Even if you have no money, I'll still make you sing and tell stories to pay for it.

Beidou ordered his men to unload the cargo, while Kazuha used this time to find Gorou.

"I have something I want to say to Miss Kokomi."

He said to Gorou.

Gorou immediately took Kazuha to see Kokomi.

Sangonomiya Kokomi is actually not far away. Gorou receives the goods at the port, and she is in charge of the specific allocation.

"This batch of medicine is being delivered to the soldiers who were attacked by Kujou Sara Sarasuri."

"This batch is for treating arrow wounds..."

"..."

Seeing Gorou bring Kazuha over, she knew something was up. After finishing what she was doing, she walked away.

"Um, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Sir, Kazuha has come to see you."

Sangonomiya Kokomi looked at Kazuha.

"Miss Kokomi, I met someone when I was in Liyue..."

Kazuha told Sangonomiya Kokomi about Bai Ye.

Kokomi and Gorou were somewhat surprised to hear him introduce them this way.

Can you really wipe away the remnants of Gods? And this is something that few humans, or even non-humans, could do.

They were both somewhat incredulous, but Kazuha didn't seem like the type to lie. Besides, they could ask other members of the Northland Bank about this.

Unless they are lying.

Immediately, Gorou became excited.

"If we can get rid of the evil spirit on Yashiori Island, then we will have a lot more places to move around."

The evil spirits of Yashiori Island have a huge impact on the development of Watatsumi Island. If this problem could be solved, there would be so many things we could do.

Gorou looked at Kazuha.

"Can we bring him over now?"

"This is a bit difficult at the moment." Kazuha shook his head as he looked at the excited Gorou.

Beidou and Ningguang's relationship meant that she already knew Bai Ye's identity. Kazuha had also heard Beidou mention Bai Ye's identity.

"His status in Liyue is no less than that of the Seven Stars."

The assassination of the Geo Archon and the departure of the Adepti, along with the difference in national strength between the two sides, mean that Bai Ye's current status is no weaker than that of the Three Commissions Inazuma.

Even if Watatsumi Island were a rebel group, it wouldn't have enough manpower or resources to find Bai Ye.

"So, you mean we should pass it on to the shogunate?"

Sangonomiya Kokomi thought of Kazuha's idea and asked him.

The Shogunate should handle this matter and use external means to invite Bai Ye over. Furthermore, they should provide some benefits to Liyue.

This is something only a legitimate government can do.

"Yes."

Kazuha nodded.

Sangonomiya Kokomi, "Don't worry, I will do my best to inform them."

Hearing her say that, Kazuha felt relieved.

"Well, I'm going back to the fleet now."

"Um."

Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded.

Kazuha left.

Sangonomiya Kokomi then gave the order to Gorou.

"Gorou, after we finish transporting the medicine, we need to find a way to get this message to the shogunate."

She will try her best to let everyone in Inazuma know that someone in Liyue can resolve the situation on Yashiori Island. That way, no matter what the Shogunate does, it will be beneficial to Sangonomiya.

The problem is solved; the resources came from the shogunate, and the favors owed are owed to them. They reap the benefits without lifting a finger. But if the shogunate doesn't do it, it will be a huge blow to the shogunate's morale.

However, deep Kokomi, Shinkai still hoped that the shogunate could achieve this.

After all, dealing with evil spirits is a matter of great importance to people's lives.

The two armies may fight to the death, but the lives of ordinary people still need to be taken care of.

"Yes."

Gorou nodded.

By the time he returned to the port, all the medicines had been delivered.

The Northland Bank is also preparing to depart.

On the Dead Star, Venti reappears when she sees the ship about to leave.

"Where do we go next?"

Venti asked Beidou.

"They're heading to Mondstadt. So, do you want to stay on the ship?"

Beidou looked at Venti and said.

"No, no, I have other things to do."

Under normal circumstances, Venti would have actually given up. But now that he knows Bai Ye's current situation, he certainly won't stay. Instead, he'll hurry to Mondstadt to tell the others Mondstadt.

Especially Albedo.

He didn't want to see Albedo get out of control.

Otherwise, the damage he caused would have been considerable.
