Layla still vividly remembered Eleazar and the Withering Zones caused by the Abyss's corruption.
In the end, they had only been completely resolved through Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's self-sacrifice.
If the Abyss came sweeping back, who would be sacrificed next? Lesser Lord Kusanali, or everyone in Sumeru? No one could say for certain.
On The Moon, everyone looked grim after watching what the Sky Screen had shown.
"Ei, Holy Landification—that's what happens on Watatsumi Island, right? Do you have a way to resolve it?"
Raiden Ei looked at Yae Miko and shook her head.
"I'm powerless against Holy Landification, too. If I could resolve it, I wouldn't have left Watatsumi Island alone."
"Alas, that really is beyond the reach of elemental gods like us."
Raiden Makoto sighed as well. Inazuma's Sky Nail was on Tsurumi Island, which had long since become a deserted land.
With the Sky Nail destroyed and Holy Landification spreading, at least they still had some time to prepare.
Venti turned to Zhongli and asked, "Old man, do you have a solution?"
"As the saying goes, when the cart reaches the mountain, a road will appear; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten its course. There is no need to worry too much. This is a road we must take.
"Just as the Sky Screen said at the end, if we cannot even overcome this hurdle, how can we speak of building a new, perfect world?"
"Easy for you to say. If the Tsaritsa botches this, can you protect the people of Liyue?"
"With my own body, I can still protect one region. But the people of Liyue cannot remain under my shelter forever."
"True enough. I'll have to be able to protect Mondstadt, too."
At that moment, text appeared on the Sky Screen again.
