Ningguang Has Been Removed from Office; Lord Yuheng Star Is Now in Charge!

"Let's proceed according to the original plan—"

One thought after another flashed through Chen Fan's mind. He had yet to find a better solution, so he could only wait according to the original plan.

After Rex Lapis and the Snezhnayan Tsaritsa's representative completed their transaction, he would intercept the Fatui executive!

For now, this was the most feasible—and perhaps the only—way to complete the current mission!

However.

Chen Fan knew about this, but that did not mean everyone else did!

"Tch, a mere worm dares challenge me, Sea God Tang San?"

At this moment, Sea God Tang San, covered in dust and looking somewhat bedraggled, flicked the dirt from his Sea God's Trident. He looked disdainfully at the Primo Geovishap lying motionless on the ground before his figure flashed, and he appeared on a mountain west of Heavenly Dao Valley. Gazing at the brightly lit Liyue Harbor in the distance, he murmured, "The Gnosis?"

"Here I come!"

What Sea God Tang San did not see was this.

After the Primo Geovishap fell, its corpse crumbled apart like collapsing earth. Then, a rock-like object appeared, floating in midair.

It was shaped like a thick, irregular rock core, its main body dark gray like stone. Several angular, brownish hard stone fragments protruded outward around it.

Both the stone core and the fragments were etched with ancient square spiral patterns that gleamed with bright silver-white light. Upon closer inspection, its texture appeared rough and solid, while the lighting gave it a distinct three-dimensional depth. Purple light flickered around it, lending it an ancient and mysterious aura.

However.

Sea God Tang San was already charging furiously toward Liyue Harbor. He had not noticed the item dropped after the monster's death—

"Can't I even seek a patch of still water—"

Meanwhile, elsewhere!

On the Bishui Plain platform, which had completely sunk beneath the water.

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, flying low through the air, was gasping heavily, sweat beading on her forehead.

"This thing is really hard to kill!"

"What exactly is it made of?"

At this moment.

The water on the platform was gradually receding, revealing countless crystalline azure water spheres scattered across it, large and small.

Each water sphere was full and round, clear and luminous, with a moist translucence and its own natural gleam.

In particular, several translucent blue water-shaped supports extended around each sphere like rippling waves and unfurling petals, their lines light and gentle.

Several tiny droplets also floated loosely around the spheres, brimming with the lively texture of flowing water.

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, held the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in one hand, and turned to look behind her.

The sky had also cleared at this moment.

But the ground—

"What exactly are these things?"

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong furrowed her brows. Looking at the azure water spheres on the platform, she hesitated briefly before raising her hand and waving it.

Immediately.

The azure water spheres on the ground floated upward.

Looking closely.

Every one of those azure water spheres was nearly one-third the size of her body.

"They seem to be filled with a powerful... energy?"

"An elemental attribute?"

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong frowned.

Earlier.

When she encountered those water birds drifting through the sky, she had not paid them much attention.

But she had never expected it.

Not long after the water birds died, they would emerge once again from beneath the platform.

After wave upon wave of attacks, even as the Rakshasa God, she was beginning to struggle to endure.

Fortunately, it had only been a battle of attrition.

And now, it had already stopped.

Yet her instincts told her.

The things left behind after those water birds died seemed to have an extraordinary origin?

At that thought.

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong took a deep breath, gripped the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, and cautiously moved it toward one of the azure water spheres.

When it came to unknown objects like this, she truly did not dare touch them directly. After all, she had no idea what unexpected changes might occur.

However!

The instant her Rakshasa Demon Scythe pierced into the azure water sphere!

A crystalline blue radiance suddenly blossomed from within. In only a moment, her blackish-purple Rakshasa Demon Scythe seemed to have been cleansed by something pure, transforming into a brilliant violet-gold!

"This?"

Seeing this, Rakshasa God Bibi Dong's eyes nearly popped out. "Wait?"

"This is... purification?"

"No, it's not just purification. It can also strengthen it?"

She could feel that the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand seemed to have become somewhat stronger?

To verify her guess.

She immediately wielded the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and swept it through several more azure water spheres.

After absorbing those azure water spheres.

The Rakshasa Demon Scythe, originally purple-black and pitch-black, now possessed an exalted violet-gold sheen.

"If that's the case—"

Rakshasa God Bibi Dong's eyes immediately lit up. "Could it be that killing those strange monsters on Teyvat Continent can also enhance a Spirit Master's strength?"

"Something like the spirit bones or Spirit Rings of spirit beasts?"

To confirm this thought, her gaze turned fervent. She immediately rushed toward the azure water spheres on the ground, some of which had even sunk beneath the water!

At this very moment!

The countless living beings of Douluo Continent were all staring in utter disbelief!

"My god, this... this can actually increase one's strength?"

"Is that still Bibi Dong? Why does it feel like she's become a different person? Her whole body is shining violet-gold!"

"My god, is that still the evil Rakshasa God?"

Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Spirit Hall Empire, Frozen Forest, Star Dou Great Forest—

All the Douluo beings watching Bibi Dong's scene on the light screen were dumbfounded. "My god, this—"

"Are there still Heavenly Principles?"

At this moment.

After leaving the Spirit Hall Empire, Qian Renxue, who had taken Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo away with her, also saw this scene. Her gaze froze. "This—"

"My lady."

Qianjun Douluo's gaze shifted slightly as well. He said in a deep voice, "The creatures of Teyvat Continent seem to possess rather unusual traits. If handled properly, perhaps... you may be able to ascend the throne of the Angel God once more!"

At those words, Qian Renxue's eyes grew even brighter.

But only moments later, she shook her head with a dim expression. "No."

She had burned away the Angel God's divine position. In other words, even the divine position established by the Qian family's ancestor was gone. How could she possibly ascend to godhood again?

But—

She seemed to have seen hope for another path!

Chen Fan knew nothing of Rakshasa God Bibi Dong's unexpected discovery.

Nor did he go looking for the monster leader bosses.

After bidding Rex Lapis farewell, Chen Fan was about to visit the Jade Chamber when the Millelith guards at the entrance stopped him. "You! What are you here for?"

"I'm looking for Ningguang. Just report my arrival."

"Hmph, Ningguang has been removed from office. Lord Yuheng Star is now in charge!"

Chen Fan, "?"

What the hell?

Ningguang had been removed from office?
