Qiu Bai gazed indifferently at Osial, the Vortex God, whose divine power had been utterly depleted.
"ROOOAAARR!!"
Osial, now nothing more than a flickering flame on the verge of extinction, let out an unwilling, desperate cry.
Its massive heads thrashed violently against the ocean's surface, sending colossal tidal waves crashing in all directions!
Seeing this, Qiu Bai frowned slightly. He raised his sword above his head.
"Begone." (T/N: You know what this single original word is? MF Slash!! So I change it to suit my taste more teehee)
A single, soft-spoken word.
Yet, this word spoken so lightly from Qiu Bai lips echoed across the entirety of Liyue Harbor.
As Qiu Bai swung his sword, the sky turned white, and the earth turned black—as if the entire world was collapsing into chaos.
Time itself seemed to freeze at the moment his blade descended.
A sword strike beyond comprehension, carrying the power to split heaven and earth, erupted forth!
The terrifying energy shifted between black and white, tearing through space itself, as if threatening to cleave reality apart.
In an instant, the unstoppable sword energy pierced straight through Osial massive form!
The ocean itself split apart along the path of the sword strike, revealing the exposed seafloor beneath.
The thick storm clouds overhead were cleaved apart, leaving a gaping void in the sky. Sunlight, unobstructed, poured down from the distant heavens, illuminating the endless sea.
The sword strike continued, cutting through countless uninhabited islands before finally fading into the horizon.
Every island it passed—split in half.
Up in the Jade Chamber, Paimon hovered in stunned silence, staring blankly toward the distant Qiu Bai.
"T-The..."
"The sky… was split open!"
Her pupils contracted in shock as she stammered in disbelief.
Beside her, the Traveler stood frozen, staring at Qiu Bai distant figure—goosebumps rising all over her skin.
At this moment, both Paimon and the Traveler were left completely speechless.
Was this… the power of a true god?
"Immortal Lord..."
Keqing gaze remained locked on the figure in the sky.
"To have been born in this era…"
"I have never seen a god unleash their full power before."
Even Ningguang, who was always composed, could not conceal the shock in her voice as she looked up at Qiu Bai.
Not far away, the Adepti also stared in stunned silence.
"The last time I witnessed such a sight was when Rex Lapis himself suppressed the ancient Gods."
"To think… that history would repeat itself through this Immortal."
Moon Carver sighed, a mix of admiration and astonishment in his voice.
"The Vortex God has fallen."
"But… what of the resentment it leaves behind?"
Mountain Shaper looked toward his fellow Adepti, a hint of concern in his expression.
At that, Cloud Retainer scoffed and turned her crane-like head, looking at Mountain Shaper as if he were a fool.
"You old fool. Do you take the Immortal Lord for an idiot?"
"You think he doesn't know about the resentment left behind when a God perishes?"
"Since the Immortal has slain the Vortex God"
"Then there must be a way to dispel the god's lingering resentment, right?"
Ganyu stepped forward, addressing the gathered Adepti.
Meanwhile, in Liyue Harbor, the citizens stood frozen in shock, eyes locked onto the sky. They had just witnessed a single sword strike that seemed to split heaven and earth apart.
For the first time in this era, they had truly witnessed the power of a god!
Hu Tao large, round eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the majestic figure in the sky.
"Oh my heavens!"
"The sky… It's been split open!"
She exclaimed, her mouth hanging open in shock.
Then, she turned to look at Zhongli, eager to see his reaction.
Yet, to her disappointment, Zhongli stood there with his arms crossed, his face utterly calm, showing not even a trace of surprise. He merely gazed indifferently at the figure in the sky, as if the earth-shattering sword strike just now had not impressed him in the slightest.
"I really shouldn't have expected him to be surprised."
"Seriously, what could possibly shock this guy?"
Hu Tao twitched the corner of her mouth in frustration before shifting her gaze back to the figure in the sky.
As she turned away, a barely perceptible smile flickered at the edge of Zhongli lips.
Standing beside him, Qiu Yue beautiful eyes were also fixed on the sky.
"Big brother…"
She murmured softly.
The streets of Liyue Harbor were now packed with people. A mother stepped forward, holding her child's hand.
"Mommy, the Immortal Lord is amazing!"
"Of course, dear. That's our Liyue's god."
The woman looked up at the figure in the sky, a childlike admiration flickering in her eyes.
"The Immortal Lord! That's the Immortal Lord!"
"The Immortal Lord is here! It's safe now—everyone, come out!"
More and more people emerged from their homes, for they knew—Liyue was safe.
Excitement filled their eyes as they gazed at the majestic figure in the sky.
Meanwhile, at Osial fallen location, all five of its heads and its massive body had been brutally severed by Qiu Bai sword aura.
"ROAR!"
"Roa…r…"
Osial cries grew weaker and weaker.
As its sundered body collapsed into the sea, a cataclysmic explosion erupted—
An ancient god had fallen!
"This is…?"
Qiu Bai eyes narrowed as he gazed at Osial final resting place.
Countless remnants of the god, along with its lingering resentment, surged violently from the ocean depths.
Fish tainted by its malice perished instantly. Everything within the vicinity of Osial death was consumed, dissolving into seawater—erased from existence.
"Is that the god lingering resentment?"
"And the corruption leaking from its death?"
Qiu Bai stood high above the sky before swiftly descending to Osial fallen remains.
Beneath him, the land was slowly dissolving into seawater, surrounded by countless remnants of the god body.
Closing his eyes slightly, two figures split from his body—one black, one white.
Both figures bore an identical appearance to Qiu Bai.
The Incarnation of Yang, clad in pure white, had gentle eyes filled with warmth.
The Incarnation of Yin, dressed in deep black, had a gaze as cold as ice.
The two figures nodded slightly before the White-clad Qiu Bai descended upon the land where Osial had fallen.
Bringing his hands together, he released a radiant, blinding light from between his palms.
The divine glow swept across the remains of the demon god, purifying all of its lingering resentment and halting the spread of its corruption entirely.
The brilliance illuminated all of Liyue Harbor and the vast ocean ahead.
The once-affected sea life beneath the waves suddenly became abnormally lively, even the fish tainted by Osial malice had the dark energy washed away from their bodies.
The surrounding grasslands and trees flourished with newfound vitality, radiating life force as if under the presence of a benevolent sun.
Yet, this "sun" was not blinding it was warm and soothing.
In Liyue Harbor, every resident felt a surge of energy coursing through them.
Even the fallen Millelith soldiers, those who had sacrificed themselves slowly rose to their feet once more.
Not only them—even the once-dead Fatui soldiers in the area began to stir and crawl up from the ground.
The very first action the revived Millelith took was to immediately surround the Fatui in full formation!
On the Jade Chamber, Lumine stared at her hands in disbelief, her gaze shifting toward the radiant light in the distance.
"Why does this feel so much like Qiu Bai white light?"
She murmured in confusion, watching as the injuries on her battered hands began to heal on their own.
