Earth Vein Rampage, Abyss Pollution Spreads; Four Shadows of Heavenly Principles Slaughter the Dragon Clan; Tang San: The World Origin Is Severed

Gu Yuena gently took his hand, her Silver Dragon King power also shivering. Looking at the lonely figure on the Light Screen, she whispered, "Although he hangs high in the heavens, from this moment on, he has also fallen into the abyss."

Yes, that curse is the abyss that Phanes can never escape.

Shrek Academy.

Bei Bei's mouth hung wide open, unable to close for a long time. "No... wait, that's it? The winner ended up in a worse state than the loser?"

"This isn't even a matter of being in a bad state anymore." Xu Sanshi's expression was uncharacteristically serious. "That curse is like a maggot in the bone; it can never be shaken off. That guy named Phanes is essentially carrying a powder keg that could explode at any moment."

"What's even more terrifying is that prophecy." He Caitou adjusted his glasses. "A new 'Usurper' will be born? And it will come from the very 'people' he created? This isn't just raising a tiger that will cause trouble; he is personally cultivating his own gravediggers!"

Xiao Xiao and Tang Ya exchanged glances, both seeing the terror on each other's faces.

This kind of fate, where one is dismantled from within, is more despair-inducing than any powerful external enemy.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Niu Tian and Titan, those two great figures, were also silent for a long time.

They had spent their entire lives pursuing pure power, but the scene they witnessed today made them realize that when power reaches its zenith, the level of the game transcends power itself.

"Conspiracies, curses, prophecies... these things hurt more than blades," Titan said in a muffled voice.

Star Luo Empire Palace.

Dai Hao's brows were tightly locked. As the Empire's Marshal, he read a deeper level of horror into that prophecy.

"Betrayal by all, collapse of order..." he muttered to himself. "For a supreme ruler who has lost absolute control and is severely wounded, his kingdom will face the most cruel internal strife and turmoil."

Beside him, Emperor Xueye's face was equally pale.

As the monarch of the Heaven Dou Empire, he knew better than anyone what the word "order" meant for a vast empire.

Once the order established by Phanes collapses, what the world of Teyvat will face is likely a disaster even more terrifying than an invasion from the abyss.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong looked at the broken body of Phanes on the Light Screen. As a support-type deity, she could feel the weakness of his exhausted origin even more acutely.

"He is too tired..." she said softly. "What he needs most right now is a long period of recuperation. But will that curse give him the time?"

The answer, it seemed, was no.

Everyone understood that for a victor who was heavily wounded and afflicted with a vicious curse, his throne would become more dangerous than ever before.

Countless eyes would be peering at that supreme throne from the darkness.

Just as the prophecy said.

A new "Usurper" is about to step onto the stage.

Ye Yinzhu watched the Light Screen silently. Beside him, Zi asked softly, "Yinzhu, do you think... the world called Teyvat can be considered saved?"

Ye Yinzhu remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"No."

"This is just the beginning of another catastrophe."

The scene on the Light Screen did not linger on the lonely figure of Phanes for too long.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the vicious curse and the ominous prophecy, the scene shifted abruptly. The perspective pulled back infinitely, presenting the full view of the entire Teyvat Continent to everyone.

However, this was no longer the vibrant world it had been before.

The earth was cracking; deep, bottomless rift valleys lay like ugly scars across mountains and plains. From the depths of those rifts, it was not lava that erupted, but a viscous, pitch-black energy radiating an ominous aura. The Ley Lines, the energy veins upon which the world relied for survival, were twisting madly like out-of-control giant pythons, withering everything in their path.

The sky was no longer clear; gray mist shrouded the wilderness. A visible form of pollution was spreading from those abyssal rifts, eroding every inch of land.

[The war has ended, but the laws of the Teyvat world are already in chaos. The Ley Lines are running wild, and the pollution of the Abyss continues to spread.]

The cold narration sounded like a chilling footnote to this tragic victory.

God Realm.

Tang San's expression became incomparably solemn. As the God King holding the authority of the God Realm, he knew better than anyone what this meant.

"The World Origin is damaged, and the Law Chains have fractured," he said in a low voice. "This is more fatal than simple destruction. It is like a person whose meridians are severed; even if the external wounds heal, the interior has completely collapsed."

Huo Yuhao unleashed his spiritual detection, attempting to perceive the state of that world. But after only a momentary contact, a torrent of information—chaotic, violent, and filled with pain and wailing—rushed into his mind, causing him to let out a muffled groan.

"Such terrifying resentment and chaos... that world is weeping."

On the Light Screen, Sky Island finally made a move. From that magnificent palace suspended in the sky, four beams of light shot out, descending upon the earth like divine punishment from heaven.

[Phanes returns to Sky Island to heal his wounds; the Four Shadows of Heavenly Principles are ordered to liquidate the remnants of the Dragon race.]

The scene switched accordingly, turning into a one-sided massacre.

Each of those four figures possessed unimaginable power. They traversed high mountains and deep seas, hunting down those of the Dragon race who had survived the war. The ancient dragons, who once soared through the skies and ruled over the elements, appeared so fragile before them.

Beams of light pierced the dragons' scales, and divine power tore their flesh apart. Dragon roars of unwillingness echoed through the heavens, only to be silenced in an instant.

Dragon God Temple.

"No!"

A roar that shook the God Realm erupted from the Dragon God. His massive body stood up abruptly, his golden eyes burning with unprecedented fury. He saw his own kin—those dragons who possessed the same proud bloodline—being systematically exterminated.

"This is a massacre! This is genocide!" The Dragon Prince's eyes were also blood-red, his nails digging deep into his palms.

The Golden Dragon King bloodline within Tang Wulin was roaring and churning madly. A grief and rage originating from the deepest part of his bloodline nearly overwhelmed his reason. He felt as if he could personally experience the despair and unwillingness of his kin before their deaths.

Gu Yuena held his hand tightly, the power of the Silver Dragon King continuously flowing into his body to soothe his violent bloodline. But her own body was trembling slightly as well. In her eyes was an unspeakable sorrow.

"They... are clearing away all potential threats," her words carried a hint of coldness. "Any existence that might challenge their order must be erased. Just like us, back then."
