"Demons and gods rise on every side. Though I have no desire to vie for dominion, I know the suffering of the people!"
Morax—Zhongli—spoke slowly, his divine power carrying his voice until all of Liyue heard him clearly.
With a wave of one hand, a long spear appeared in his grasp, jet-black from end to end and edged in gold.
The Super Divine Artifact, Vortex Vanquisher!
"Today, I break through the limit. I am... the Geo Archon."
The aura of a god descended upon Liyue with a crash, then spread outward at astonishing speed.
Golden light on the horizon pierced the clouds, and mighty waves of Soul Power shook the air.
Far away in Spirit City, Qian Daoliu held the Heaven-Measuring Sword as he fought Qian Renxue.
Qian Daoliu showed no mercy. This was a Divine Trial of the Angel God: she had to hold out against the Angel God's Great Enshrined for the time it took an incense stick to burn. He would not hold back.
But when he sensed that immense divine power, he froze mid-motion. Horror filled his eyes.
"A god!"
Not a divine servant. Not a near-god. A true god.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Qian Renxue asked between ragged breaths, puzzled by how suddenly he had frozen.
"Xue'er..." Qian Daoliu came to his senses and narrowed his eyes. "You need to become a god sooner."
With that, he swung his sword again. Qian Renxue hurriedly raised the Holy Sword to block it.
The Holy Sword shattered instantly. Before she could form a Soul Power shield, the Heaven-Measuring Sword was at her throat.
One move. In just one move, Qian Renxue had lost.
"Xue'er, come with me to pay a visit to that god of Liyue." Qian Daoliu put away the Heaven-Measuring Sword, his expression conflicted.
