" Tianquan!"
Ganyu cried out in disbelief.
"What are you going to do?!"
Ningguang did not answer.
She slowly raised her hand and formed a complex mudra in front of her chest.
" Keqing, Ganyu, all immortals."
"I need you to lend me all your strength."
"Sent to the core of the Jade Chamber."
"It will be the final blow that strikes that demon Archon."
There was a moment of silence in the Jade Chamber.
Then, Keqing was the first to move.
She didn't speak, but simply raised her Thunder Sword and poured all her lightning into the pavilion beneath her feet.
With tears in her eyes, Ganyu drew the bow, and the icy power flowed into it.
The three immortals exchanged a glance and raised their hands in unison.
Vast immortal power surged into the Jade Chamber like a tidal wave.
Xiao silently planted Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, and the blue light flowed along the stone surface.
Ying also poured all her Elemental Power into it.
All the power converged at the core of the Jade Chamber, forming a dazzling golden-blue light.
The entire aerial pavilion began to glow.
From the edges to the core, every inch lit up, like a blazing star suspended above Liyue Harbor.
Golden House, Bai You tightly covered her mouth.
She knew it would happen; she knew it from the very beginning.
But seeing Ningguang ignite her lifelong dream little by little, tears welled up in her eyes without warning.
Varesa reached out and pulled her into her arms.
Her voice also sounded a little tense.
"She looked like she was going to smash it."
He destroyed everything he had with his own hands.
Varesa simply hugged Bai You tighter, letting her lean against her.
Varesa gazed at the burning pavilion, the golden-blue light reflecting in her eyes.
She suddenly understood that there were many ordinary yet extraordinary people in this country.
Zhongli stood quietly by the window.
His golden-brown eyes gazed calmly at the ever-brightening light.
Only he himself knew how long he had waited for this moment.
He was waiting for Liyue to stand up on her own, and Liyue did not disappoint him.
On the Jade Chamber, Ningguang took one last look at the building that held everything she had.
There was reluctance in her Kamisato.
I feel sorry for her.
For a fleeting moment, I was almost unable to hide my disorientation.
But all of that eventually faded into tranquility.
She raised her hand, then swung it down suddenly.
"Go--!"
The Jade Chamber, burning with golden-blue light, detached from its suspended track.
It carries the power of everyone in the Jade Chamber.
It carries the life's work of a woman.
Carrying the will of the entire Liyue.
It slammed down hard onto Osial in the middle of the sea.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
At that moment, golden light and seawater exploded simultaneously, illuminating the entire Liyue Harbor and the faces of everyone who looked up.
The beam of light pressed Osial's enormous tentacles one by one into the seabed.
The seal was not closed.
The ruins of the Jade Chamber pressed down on Osial, and the golden-blue patterns on them had only just begun to light up when its massive body forced a crack open.
The demon Archon let out a roar that tore through the sea.
Dozens of tentacles pounded the seabed wildly, sending rocks and seawater soaring into the sky. Waves crashed onto the high ground, soaking a row of Millelith.
"It will earn it!"
Cloud Retainer cried out in disbelief.
Immediately Moon Carver raised his hand, and two rocky ridges rose from beneath the sea, pressing down on the ruins of the pavilion.
The Mountain Shaper unfolds its arms, the water screen recoils, and the raised gaps are pressed back inch by inch.
Xiao leaped into the air, Primordial Jade Winged-Spear's blue light surged. He thrust his spear into the thickest tentacle, channeling all of the Yaksha's power into the spear tip.
Keqing's Thunder Sword flashed repeatedly, each bolt of lightning striking the tentacle, charring and curling it up.
With tears in her eyes, Ganyu drew her bow, and one frost arrow after another pierced the cracks in the seal, freezing the edges.
Ying stood at the front, sword in hand, pouring her Elemental Power into the sealing array beneath her feet without reservation.
But they were all exhausted.
The moment the Jade Chamber crashed down, they lent their last bit of strength to Ningguang.
Now, under Osial's struggle, the pavilion is tilting inch by inch, and the seal patterns are flickering, like a lamp that is about to burn out.
"Roar--!!!"
Osial's head suddenly emerged from beneath the sea, seawater cascading down its scales like a waterfall.
Its vertical pupil swept over the Jade Chamber.
It contained hatred, anger, and the tyranny that had been offended for three thousand years.
Then, it did something no one expected.
It stopped fighting.
It abruptly shook off the wreckage of the building that was still pressing down on it, and with dozens of tentacles pushing against the surface of the sea, its massive body madly fled towards the deep sea.
It escaped.
In the middle of the sea, only a huge, still bubbling whirlpool remained.
The ruins of Jade Chamber slowly sank, emitting a dull thud.
The golden-blue seal patterns were not completely closed, leaving only a few broken streaks of light on the sea surface.
The people on the high ground, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down again.
The immortals stood on the Jade Chamber, motionless for a moment.
They risked their lives, summoned Guizhong Ballista, destroyed Jade Chamber, and sacrificed the life's work of Tianquan.
As a result, the demon Archon escaped.
"It will come back."
"The Cloud Retainer spoke in a low voice."
No one objected.
Because everyone knows she's right.
Bai You stood at the entrance of the Golden House, with Varesa beside her.
She watched the enormous shadow rapidly recede into the deep sea, her fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of her dress.
She knew that according to the plot she had read, Osial should be sealed away this time.
The Childe walked out of the door, half-kneeling by the door frame, one hand supporting his sword, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
He had just finished fighting the Foul Legacy with Ying, and the power of the Vision was backfiring, causing him to tremble all over and make it difficult for him to even stand.
But he still looked up at the receding shadow in the deep sea.
"They ran away..."
He said in a low voice.
"The thing I released just ran away like that?"
Just then, a calm voice came from the side.
"It won't go far."
Bai You and Varesa turned their heads at the same time.
Zhongli stood a few steps away.
His dark robe fluttered slightly in the sea breeze, and his golden-brown eyes gazed calmly towards the deep sea.
The Rex Lapis is dead, his immortal body has been buried; he is now merely a guest of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"The seal wasn't closed properly."
Zhongli said.
"After its escape, it must have been lying dormant in the deep sea for at least several decades."
"But it bore wounds and harbored hatred in its heart."
"It will come back someday."
He paused, then turned to look at Bai You.
Bai You looked at him.
She didn't know what Zhongli was going to do.
Then he asked a question that silenced everyone at the harbor.
" Bai You Girl."
"Hmm?"
"Is it time to make a move?"
Bai You was stunned.
She doubted she had heard correctly.
"... What?"
"The test is over."
Zhongli's voice was calm.
"I originally wanted Liyue to handle this challenge herself."
"They caught it, proving that Liyue can continue peacefully without me."
He glanced at the exhausted immortals on the Jade Chamber, and then at the common people on the high ground who had just gotten up.
"But this demon Archon escaped."
"What remains is not a test."
"It will cause future problems."
Bai You's breathing quickened a little.
She understood.
Saving Money: Zhongli is saying: You don't need to hold back your strength anymore, make your move.
