Chapter 170: Saving Raijin, Raijin

Seeing the River of Time and Space, even though Yaotsuba and Kujou Sara were far apart in realm and didn't understand what was happening, they knew this was no simple matter.

"Who is this person, that Ei cares so much about him?"

"Why does the General care so much for this man? Who is he?"

At that moment, Zhang Taixuan's hand had already reached into the past, directly returning to five hundred years ago.

Five hundred years ago.

Khaenri'ah.

Technology clashed with martial arts; fire ignited the entire world.

The earth turned to ruins; even the demon gods coughed blood in the war.

This was a brutal war.

Raijin stood atop the ruins; even as a demon god, she felt a hint of exhaustion.

"When will this war end? I really can't hold on much longer!"

"But as long as Ei is safe, everything is worth it."

Just then, the sky darkened, and a massive hand covered heaven and earth.

Upon that hand, yin and yang flowed, holding infinite mystery; the former enemies instantly turned to ash beneath its palm.

"This…?" Raijin was stunned.

Then the hand reached for her.

"Who are you, honored one?"

In the distance, a demon god sped toward them, roaring.

"I am Taixuan!"

As the voice faded, the hand vanished.

"Taixuan?" Zhongli stood atop the ruins, gazing at the sky, lost in thought. "Why have I never heard the name of this demon god?"

Just as he thought this, the hand reappeared far away, reaching for a spot before vanishing swiftly.

"Such power—definitely not a demon god!"

"Is it Tianli? No, absolutely not Tianli."

He had seen Tianli before.

He knew Tianli's aura well; though powerful, Tianli still fell within his understanding.

This man, merely with one hand, made one feel utterly powerless to resist—such a being could not possibly be anyone from the continent of Teyvat.

"Could he be from beyond the world?"

He thought for a moment, feeling a pang of despair.

"Too bad, Raijin is dead."

Five hundred years later.

Tennouzu.

Raijin stared in shock: "This… is five hundred years later?"

Hozumi: "Five hundred years later, that little fox from back then has grown up. In the blink of an eye, we've reached five hundred years later—I truly doubt this is a dream."

"Sister!" Seeing her, Raiden Ei broke down. "Five hundred years—I've finally seen you again."

"Ei!"

Raijin looked puzzled. "What exactly happened?"

Raiden Ei hugged her sister and told her slowly: "Five hundred years ago, you perished in the Khaenri'ah war…"
