When Lang heard that Bai Ye had given him an explanation, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

"He really is a scoundrel. Even though I was the one who spoke rudely to him without investigating, he still didn't take the opportunity to laugh at me."

Lang felt ashamed.

Therefore,

The matter of Sagitsu's affair has come to an end. His attempt to attack Bai Ye, Kokomi, and Kokoro was well-deserved.

He wouldn't have any sympathy even for a bastard.

Although he was a young man, as a general of Watatsumi Island, he had experienced quite a few battles.

Lang asked Bai Ye:

"Are you planning to purify the evil spirit next?"

"How did you know?" Hu Tao asked curiously. "Also, who are you two? Wasn't Inazuma recently under Vision Hunt Decree? How come you both have divine eyes?"

"What is a 'Disturbing Vision Hunt Decree'?"

To the description of Hu Tao, Worou was both amused and exasperated. However, he still explained earnestly, "We are from Watatsumi Island, a resistance army against the Inazuma Vision Hunt Decree. This time, we also came here to see if you can purify the evil spirits."

Kokomi said from the side, "If you're willing to bring us along, you can tell me what your requirements are."

"Oh, I see."

Hu Tao nodded.

She didn't care about any of that. She was from Liyue, so what did Inazuma's Vision Hunt Decree have to do with her?

Hu Tao turned her gaze to Bai Ye.

"That Bai Ye, should we go with them?"

"Um..."

After thinking about it, Bai Ye decided that bringing them along wouldn't be a problem.

As for the requirements?

He's not Divine Child, the kind of person who enjoys amusement. He wouldn't do something like having Yoro put on Miss Hina's clothes to film a short video.

"But won't you be affected when facing evil spirits?"

Bai Ye still asked Kokomi Shinkai.

Orobas was Gods capable of escaping between two regions; if he hadn't ultimately sought death, survival wouldn't have been difficult. Now, his resentment, after accumulating, has erupted again, and the influence of the evil spirits on the Yashiori Island is still quite severe.

When facing the Archon Residue, Bai Ye is undoubtedly a valuable asset. Both Hu Tao Shenhe are protected by Adeptal Art; over thousands of years, the Yaksha have developed a relatively effective set of Adeptal Art for dealing with the Archon Residue. Hu Tao and Shenhe are confident they can use this Adeptal Art to protect themselves.

Kokomi replied to Bai Ye, "Although there will be some impact, we on Watatsumi Island have our own ways of dealing with this situation."

"Since you are prepared, then you are ready. So, let's set off."

Bai Ye had already tried to persuade him, and if Kokomi still believed he was capable of resolving the situation, then Bai Ye would not stop him.

And so, the team that went to find the Archon Residue was joined by two more people.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Scaramouche stood atop a group of Ruin Grunt, observing Bai Ye's movements with a special device made by the "The Doctor."

He couldn't go too close. Before he set off, the Doctor told him that, based on his research on the mechanisms Bai Ye had created, Bai Ye was an extremely skilled master of Art of Automata. There would inevitably be surveillance mechanisms around him, and if he got too close, he would inevitably be discovered.

It would be more appropriate to secretly observe Bai Ye using the observation device for the spirits set up on Yashiori Island.

"Oh, are those two still from Watatsumi Island? Could it be that they want to persuade Bai Ye to side with them? If Bai Ye really goes to Watatsumi Island to help them, then there will be another drama to watch."

As the group reunited, the Scaramouche chatted amongst themselves.

The recording mechanism in his hand also activated at the same time, preparing to record how Bai Ye would absorb the Archon Residue.

Bai Ye and the others walked towards the head of the serpent god.

As they moved forward, the aura of lightning and the Archon Residue gradually increased.

This place is really getting very close to the epicenter of the impact.

Bai Ye the others were still asleep, Kokomi and Kokoro were more affected.

The lingering resentment of the evil spirit constantly sends all sorts of wicked thoughts into their hearts.

At the same time, those auras also began to erode their bodies.

When Kokomi encountered this situation, she gently waved her hand, and the water element flowed around her and Lang, making them feel more comfortable.

After being healed by his own priestess, Shirou recovered somewhat.

His face was pale, but he looked at the excited Bai Ye with admiration.

Is this person really unaffected at all?

"Will we encounter this situation every time we meet the evil spirit?"

Lang asked Ye about Bai Ye.

"No, that's not it." Hu Tao shrugged and pointed her gun at the snake's head. "When we actually face it, we also have to consider the attack of that Gods's power."

At this point, Hu Tao seemed to remember something and asked Zhu Lang, "By the way, isn't Orobas the Gods you worship? What are His powers?"

Wouldn't it be easier to deal with if we knew in advance?

"Power?" Upon hearing Hu Tao's question, Shirou was completely dumbfounded.

He looked into his Kokomi.

Kokomi shook his head. "Our records do not contain any information about the powers of the Sea God, only that He once led our Watatsumi Island army on an eastward expedition to Yashiori Island and fought a great battle with the Raiden Shogun's Shogunate Army. In the end, He was killed by the Raiden Shogun here."

She was very intelligent, but since the source had no information, there was nothing she could do.

"Let's keep watching. But we still need to be careful."

Bai Ye said to a few people.

"Don't worry, even if things get to the worst, there's always a way to resolve them."

At this point, he turned his gaze to the jade pendant at his waist.

Well, Osial, you and Orobas share the same surname, O. He is now only filled with resentment, while you are still whole and unharmed. Suppressing him shouldn't be a problem, right?

After entering the jade pendant, Morax removed all the restrictions on Osial's body.

Even if Orobas were still alive, the difference in strength between Osial at full power would be negligible, let alone now that only resentment remains.

Looking at his confident demeanor and self-assured smile, Kokomi felt at ease.

It's a reassuring smile that puts everyone around you at ease.

It was a smile that Zhizhu held dear.

Before, Kokomi deliberately used this smile to act in front of the other people on Watatsumi Island, to reassure them.

Now it's her turn to be comforted by others with that kind of smile.

Kokomi shook his head.

No, this kind of dependency must not be allowed to develop.

He himself had to take responsibility for everything on Watatsumi Island.

Kokomi not to rely on others; you must also rely on your own wisdom to find a future for Watatsumi Island.

As they continued forward, the Gods's resentment only grew stronger.

Lightning kept striking the ground, Bai Ye and the others had to dodge it one after another.

At the same time, the aura of evil spirits continued to assault everyone.

Kokomi continuously used her confidante's elemental power and the secret techniques of the Sangonomiya to help her and Lang withstand the strain, but as the time spent using them increased, she also found it difficult to continue.

Hu Tao and Shenhe were somewhat skilled, but their Adeptal Art were far weaker than Xiao's, so they could no longer advance.

"This place is really unbearable! There are clearly no enemies here, just pure resentment. Even if I ask someone to take action, I can't do anything about it."

Hu Tao grumbled discontentedly.

Shenhe was unusually agreeing with Hu Tao's words.

At first, they were dealt with by Ruin Grunt, but after a while, only demons remained. Orobas's abilities didn't seem to help the demons; their strength didn't increase, and their intelligence even decreased. Shenhe could even make a move, Bai Ye simply dispatched them all with crossbow bolts.

As they approached Orobas, even the monsters they had dealt with vanished.

It's pure, torturous resentment.

Seeing the others like this, Bai Ye spoke up:

"It seems I'll have to walk this last leg of the journey alone."

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course, this is a road that only I can walk."

Bai Ye walked forward.

"You brat, what do you mean by 'only you'? I'll always be by your side."

Hagintos's voice rang out.

"Me too, I'll help you too, Bai Ye," Asmodeus's voice rang out. "We'll definitely be safe, won't we?"

As for the other jade pendant, Osial was speechless when he heard the two Gods say such things.

What you're saying is nonsense. In the end, won't I still have to do the bodyguard job?

You're all crippled, but when it comes to fighting, you'll have to rely on me.

Osial watched Bai Ye's movements with nervousness, fearing that he would be suddenly attacked by Orobas.

If something were to happen to Bai Ye in His hands, Osial felt that he might encounter something more terrifying than death.

Even if they escaped to the Sea of Darkness, they would have no chance of surviving.

It's against all Heavenly Principles, Zhongli. All the Gods in the Sea of Darkness also love people. If they knew that someone with the power to resolve the Abyss had fallen into trouble under their hands, they'd probably tear them apart.

That being said, although it's a grudge, Orobas was originally a rather kind Gods, so he probably wouldn't do something like this sneak attack, right?

During the Archon War, since their territories were both located on the sea, Orobas and Osial were old acquaintances.

Orobas's style is actually quite peaceful and upright, but Osial feels that Orobas has pretty bad luck.

He hadn't even considered starting a war, but ended up being forced into battle against Morax because of his own people.

While the other sea Gods were still testing the waters, He was the first to make a move.

The final result, of course, was a complete and utter defeat.

After his defeat, he fled towards Inazuma.

Then,

Then they met Makoto and Beelzebul.

"Well..."

Osial shook his head.

Remembering his duty, He quickly perked up and looked around.

After all, the resentment of the demon Gods is still increasing.

Bai Ye's body spun rapidly, and the Archon Residue were constantly being absorbed into his body, strengthening Bai Ye and Hagintos.

As the resentment absorbed by Bai Ye increased, when Baiye arrived near the Serpent's Head, a deep cave appeared beneath the serpent skull.

Bai Ye silently took out the Gods God's mechanical arm, ready to protect himself at any time.

"They're gone."

Bai Ye muttered to himself before heading straight for the cave.

Hu Tao Shenhe, watching from a distance, both showed expressions of worry.

Bai Ye entered the cave.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Is there no resentment from Gods here?"

Bai Ye stared in disbelief at the clean and secluded cave.

Outside, the Gods's resentment and lightning intertwined, while deep inside the cave, it was eerily quiet.

Something's not right!

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Continue observing; there are deeper parts of the cave.

This demonic power should be inside.

Bai Ye rotated the mechanical arm, protecting himself within a meter to the left and right.

After doing all this, he walked forward.

As I continued walking, I still didn't feel any resentment from the Gods.

Did I go to the wrong place?

Bai Ye fully activated his absorption ability, but surprisingly, he didn't absorb any of the Gods's resentment.

Just as he was thinking this, the memory that came through made him give up the idea.

Orobas's memories began to gradually appear in Bai Ye's mind.

How did the ocean establish human settlements?

Liyue was forced to challenge Zhongli.

Defeat

They fled to Inazuma.

Similarly, due to an unexpected event, they were forced to engage in battle against Makoto and Beelzebul.

Still, they were defeated.

They wanted to escape to the Sea of Darkness, but due to an accident, they fell into the Enkanomiya.

"What luck."

Looking at Orobas's luck, Bai Ye was speechless.

Memories are still being absorbed.

The Enkanomiya helped the people overthrow the previous rulers.

The coral king insect, a member of the family, has been found.

To become a god of the Enkanomiya.

Finally, it was found...

Just as Bai Ye's memories were being absorbed here, a roaring voice rang out.

"No, please don't continue absorbing my memories!"

"Um?"

Bai Ye pondered this and casually absorbed the memories.

Oh, it's "The Tale of the Seven Nations".

Bai Ye thought to himself.

"You're finished, you're finished!"

Then, the sound rang out again.

"You already know things you shouldn't know. I... I've ruined you. I truly never imagined someone could absorb my memories. In this situation, alas, you're finished..."

A ball of light appeared in front of Bai Ye.

Just by looking at it, Bai Ye could sense that there was an extremely strong resentment of the Gods inside.

At this moment, the ball of light continued to speak.

"Who exactly are you? How can you absorb the resentment of Gods? And absorbing that isn't enough, you're also absorbing memories. Are the memories of Orobas something that can be absorbed? And among them..."

At this point, the ball of light said helplessly:

"Forget it, you've already absorbed it, so it's fine. Never tell anyone this news, lest you harm others. For the rest of the time, eat whatever you want, and do anything you haven't done yet. You look only thirteen or fourteen years old, it's such a pity."

"You..."

Bai Ye wanted to ask about the situation of the light cluster.

However, at this moment, a fluctuation came from inside the cave.

"This... this is the aura of Heavenly Principles's justice..." the ball of light said in a panicked tone, "He... He won't even give you a chance to say your last words?"
