Guoba and Gabo were still locked in a standoff when Bai Ye turned back towards them.

Gabo stared at Guoba with eyes full of hatred, as if he wanted to devour Guoba alive.

Guoba opened his palms, ready to face the Gabo attack.

Gabo opened his mouth wide, seemingly about to attack Guoba and seek revenge for the past grudge.

The next second,

Gabo's body vanished instantly, reappearing beside Bai Ye was approaching.

It is still preparing to launch a surprise attack.

All of that was just to make others think he was going to fight Guoba to the death.

Another ripple appeared on Bai Ye's defenses.

"This guy is really cunning."

Guizhong cursed loudly in Bai Ye's mind.

This Gods god isn't particularly strong. If it weren't for this spatial teleportation, even in a simple sword fight, Bai Ye wouldn't lose. It's this strange spatial teleportation that makes him difficult for Bai Ye to deal with.

If I were at my peak, if I were at my peak...

Guizhong said "thank you" twice in her mind when she felt discouraged. As a mechanic, she was at a huge disadvantage when facing an assassin like Gabo.

"However, I believe Little Bai Ye can create an excellent body for himself. At that time, I will definitely be the kind of superb mechanical master who is not afraid of assassins at all."

My Guizhong longs for home.

At this moment, Bai Ye unleashed the power of Orobas.

He slashed at Gabo.

Gabo disappeared, then reappeared beside Bai Ye.

However, Bai Ye's sword light had already struck, and Bai Ye instinctively dodged to the side. This time, it wasn't that Bai Ye was casually slashed by Gabo. Rather, Bai Ye narrowly dodged Gabo's attack and even managed to slash Gabo's waist with 'Dreamy Musou'.

They almost chopped off his kidneys.

Bai Ye wanted to activate the power to strip away the Seven Senses again. However, even though Bai Ye used it as quickly as possible, the Gods Gabo still endured the excruciating pain and entered the teleportation space.

He moved to Hu Tao's place instead.

However, now that they were closer, Bai Ye took out the Serenitea Pot from his waist.

If Hu Tao and the others stay here now, they will only be a burden. It would be better to get them into the Serenitea Pot as soon as possible so that I can concentrate on dealing with the enemy.

As for whether Gabo would be teleported into the Serenitea Pot, Bai Ye wasn't worried. The space inside wasn't the Teyvat outside; it was a space created by Grandma Yu based on the abilities Zhongli had given her.

Even if teleportation were possible, let alone impossible, Bai Ye could completely lock down this space. The Gods Gabo isn't very strong; if teleportation were truly impossible, Hu Tao Xiangling and Shenhe alone could easily defeat Gabo.

"Bai Ye, kill that guy as soon as possible. That damned Gods is just too infuriating."

Hu Tao was the first to enter the pot.

The others also slowly walked in.

They cannot be a burden to Bai Ye.

Even as they entered the Serenitea Pot, Gabo continued to launch sneak attacks. However, with Guoba present, and Bai Ye also using a mechanism to defend against Gabo's attacks, they were able to succeed.

At last,

The Guoba remained outside and did not go inside.

"I'll stay outside. I have a feeling that I'm the only one who can deal with this guy."

Guoba shook his head and spoke to Bai Ye.

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded gently.

Guoba's strength is guaranteed, and most importantly, he's tough and resilient. If Hu Tao Xiangling were to get slashed by the Gods Gabo, Bai Ye would probably be devastated. But if Guoba were to get slashed by Gabo, Bai Ye felt he could withstand it without much trouble.

Yeah, I think so...

Fortunately, Guoba was unaware of Bai Ye's thoughts, otherwise he would have insisted on going into the Serenitea Pot with Xiangling instead of helping Bai Ye.

At this moment, a human and a bear stood in the ruins of the Gods.

The two stood back to back, guarding against a possible attack from Gabo.

However, this time Gabo knew clearly that Bai Ye and Guoba were not to be trifled with, so he hid and did not show himself.

After a while, Bai Ye couldn't take it anymore.

He activated the power of Orobas, focusing intently on the extremely mentally taxing process.

Over time, it's inevitable that some slack will be formed.

"Should we retreat? We can come back here after we find a solution."

Guoba noticed that Bai Ye was mentally exhausted, so he offered him some advice.

"Um..."

Bai Ye also wanted to nod.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the air.

Madame Ping appeared beside Bai Ye and Guoba.

"Ping... Sister Guchen."

Upon seeing Guchen, Bai Ye instinctively wanted to call out "Grandma Yu," but he stopped himself just as he was about to speak.

"Um."

Guchen smiled slightly.

Then she looked around at the space and said to Bai Ye, "There is a barrier set up by the Geo Archon here to prevent Gabo's remnant soul from leaving. Now that we are entering, Gabo may take the opportunity to escape. Even if Gabo's departure does not cause much damage, it will inevitably cause a lot of pollution from the Archon Residue."

"Besides, it's not like there's no way to deal with him."

At this moment Madame Ping took out an ancient zither from behind her back, sat down, and began to play, her fingers caressing the strings.

The music was stirring, and even someone like Bai Ye, who didn't understand music theory, could hear the murderous intent in it.

Seeing Bai Ye's gaze fixed on her, Guchen smiled and said, "Music also has offensive power, formless and intangible, pervading the entire space. As long as this Gabo appears in the space, it will naturally be attacked. Although my attack is not strong, it is enough to limit Gabo, allowing you to attack it at will. I will play here, Little Bai Ye you should recover your strength first. When you are almost recovered, you can take over from me."

Bai Ye then asked Guchen, "Will waiting like this allow Gabo to emerge?"

"Yes." Guchen nodded. "He also suffers from the effects of spatial teleportation, but because he is Gods god, he can last longer. However, if the two of them take turns, it will be Gabo Bo who can't hold on."

Guizhong appeared at this moment and, seeing Guchen playing like this, couldn't help but say, "Playing like this is still a bit troublesome. If we could create a mechanism to play it, we could create a mechanism to deal with the enemy for a long time."

"Kuanxin, you haven't changed at all, and you're even less aesthetically pleasing than you were back then."

When Guchen heard Guizhong say this, he was speechless.

Back then, she at least had some appreciation for the beauty of music, though she wanted to record it and eventually play it for others. Now, she only sees music as a means of attack.

Guoba frowned and said, "But even if he can't hold on and leaves, it's not easy for us to catch him. If we keep using spatial teleportation, it would be too much of a waste of time and energy to keep fighting for a long time."

"So, if we really want to deal with him, it's up to you."

Guchen said to Guoba.

Guoba frowned slightly.

Guchen smiled and said, "Don't forget what kind of Gods you are, the Gourmet Archon, born from the sparks of colliding stones, the Gods in charge of stove fire and people's livelihood. Do you think there is any difference between you and the God of Fire? Are you perhaps his subordinate?"

"That's impossible. Although there are differences in power among the Gods, there is absolutely no one who is a subordinate to the other."

Guoba shook his head.

Although his memory is not complete, he still retains some basic common sense.

Each Gods has its own unique characteristics.

Guoba had a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, Guchen was still speaking softly:

"While the Vulcan's energy is explosive, it is inferior to yours in some aspects. After all, he represents natural fire, not human hearth fire."

Guoba closed his eyes and pondered.

Bai Ye seemed to be thinking about something and wanted to remind him, but was interrupted by Guchen.

"Guoba needs to figure this out himself; if you remind him, he might not be able to come up with it."

Guchen said as he played the instrument.

Seeing that Bai Ye had almost recovered, Guchen said to Bai Ye, "Hey, Little Bai Ye, wait a moment by the door. The turning point in our stalemate might be there."

"Um?"

Bai Ye was somewhat puzzled, but still followed Guchen's instructions and walked in the direction Ge Chen had come from.

Both Orobas and Chi activated their powers, determined not to let Gabo out of their sight for even a moment.

Guchen continued playing his instrument, Guoba was still pondering, Bai Ye kept moving, and the Gods Gabo was still teleporting over.

At this very moment,

A ripple came from the space.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

It was Eula and Yanfei.

"Why are they here?!"

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised.

However, at this moment, Bai Ye felt a fluctuation, accompanied by Orobas's premonition. Bai Ye immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Eula and Yanfei.

The space opened up, and the remnant soul of the Gods Gabo appeared, wielding a long sword, and slashed down.

He was already exhausted from fighting Bai Ye Guchen, and when he saw the new person appear, he instinctively wanted to attack to break the stalemate.

However, his actions had already been planned by Guchen, and Bai Ye intervened in time to stop Gabo's attack.

Seeing Bai Ye blocking her way, Eula snorted and said:

"Is this the Archon Residue?"

However, even as she spoke, her movements were anything but slow. She drew her greatsword from her back, gripped it tightly with both hands, and swiftly moved to Gabo's side, swinging the greatsword in a slash. On her way there, Yanfei had told Eula that there were remnants of Gods god's soul here, and that the actions of the True Monarch of the Floating World indicated a fierce battle was taking place on Bai Ye's side. Therefore, Eula had prepared in advance, and the instant Bai Ye and Gabo clashed, she launched her own attack.

A delicate and elegant sword dance unfolded, the blade imbued with the icy properties of the Divine Eye. A flash of sword light momentarily paralyzed the Gods Gabo's body.

It's clear that because it hasn't been able to transmit for a long time, Gabo needs to catch his breath outside and can't just leave immediately.

And at this very moment, there is another one taking action.

Guoba suddenly opened its eyes, and in the instant, it opened its mouth and Gabo flew towards Jiabo.

It landed on Gabo.

Only then did Gabo finally evacuate.

"Did the Guoba burn out?"

Looking at the tiny spark on the Guoba, Yanfei asked with some confusion.

That tiny spark will probably be extinguished immediately.

"No, I sense something is unusual."

Bai Ye didn't have that feeling.

"Indeed, I also sense the power contained within that Mars."

Eula, who was next to the Gods, thought the same thing.

At that moment, she glanced at Bai Ye and saw that although he had faced the Gods head-on without encountering any danger, she breathed a sigh of relief and then said arrogantly, "You stood in front of me just now because you were worried that I would be in danger? You underestimate me too much. I will remember this grudge."

My heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, when she saw the Gods's enormous body about to crash down on them, Bai Ye's small stature standing in front of them looked incredibly cool.

When Bai Ye heard Eula say that she was going to hold a grudge against him, he shrugged and indicated that he didn't care.

He turned to look at Guoba and asked, "Hey, Guoba, can you tell me what that 'Martian porridge' you were talking about earlier was?"

"That spark is the hearth fire I possess and the power of the people."

Guoba spoke slowly.

"Um?"

Bai Ye still didn't understand.

"The so-called furnace fire is a flame formed after birth. It does not rely on the element of fire, nor on natural reactions, but is a flame that intelligent creatures can create at any time. For convenience, it means that fire can be made anywhere."

Even within the teleportation space.

At this moment, Guchen also walked over and said.

Just as she was saying this, a humanoid figure of flame suddenly appeared not far from the group.

Flames were constantly burning on the body of the Gods Gabo.

With a body three or four meters tall and flames engulfing it, it looked like a demon from hell.

In particular, the howling sound emitted by the burning.

Since there's no way to hide it, let's just take action.

Despite the excruciating pain, Gabo swung his long sword and charged towards Bai Ye.

Guoba opened its mouth again, and this time it spat out a long string of fire.

Its body grew larger again, reaching a height of about three meters.

Guoba opened its bear paw and Gabo at Jiabo.

The two Gods were entwined together.

They then engaged in close combat.

Because of the close proximity, Gabo's longsword was ineffective, and he was instead being slapped repeatedly by Guoba's bear paws.

In particular, the Guoba is unaffected by the flames, while the Gabo is scorched by the flames.

One palm strike followed by another.

At first, Gabo was able to fight back, but his strength gradually weakened, and in the end he could only be beaten down by Guoba.

After attacking for a while, Guoba saw that Gabo had no power to resist, so he grabbed Gabo again and threw him over to Bai Ye as if he were throwing a rag.

Gabo landed on the ground, Guoba said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, you'll have to absorb the Archon Residue on his body. I can't handle it here, so I'll leave it to you to deal with."

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, then reached out and began absorbing the power and remnants from the Gods Gabo.

Gradually, the Gods Gabo's body disappeared, shrinking little by little.

Final,

Only a long sword remained on the open ground.

Bai Ye closed his eyes and began to study Gabo's powers.
