Chapter 119

That powerful force outside the seven elements didn’t make sense at all; it seemed to be able to suppress everything.

But what it faced was not power derived from Teyvat!

Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and golden light flourished in them.

At the same time, the huge Dharma image behind him also opened its eyes.

As soon as the eyes opened, heaven and earth fell silent, as if all things dared not disturb the true god.

Gu Chen’s Dharma image stretched out its right hand, and the two Heavenly Nails fell into the hand of the Dharma image uncontrollably. With a forceful grip, the two Heavenly Nails turned into powder and scattered on the earth.

“How is that possible?!”

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was shocked to see this scene.

The next moment, she mobilized a massive amount of scarlet chains toward Gu Chen’s Dharma image, and at the same time, countless strange red square-shaped powers emerged on the scarlet chains.

“Subdue demons!”

Two words were spat out from the mouth of Gu Chen’s Dharma image.

A long sword emitting infinite brilliance appeared in its hand, and it slashed toward the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles with both hands.

On the ten-thousand-foot long sword, sharp sword light flickered, space was forcibly split under that sharpness, and a golden sword energy that could penetrate heaven and earth emerged from the blade.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles didn’t have time to react. Two Heavenly Nails appeared in front of her in a cross shape, and she summoned countless chains to block in front of her.

The sword energy seemed intangible, easily penetrating all the defenses deployed by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, and finally slashed onto her body.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles looked down at her body in disbelief.

She had been penetrated by the sword energy.

But there was not a single wound on the surface of her body, yet her face was gradually turning pale.

She was not an ordinary person, and the structure of her body naturally had too many differences from ordinary people.

But under this sword energy, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles felt that her internal organs seemed to have been extinguished by the sword energy.

The terrifying sword energy had clearly passed through without any pause... but it seemed to have left a force in her body that was constantly destroying it.

No matter how much power she mobilized, she couldn’t resist it.

Her body was slowly turning into an empty shell under the sharpness of the sword energy.

“Heh heh... just...”

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.

Too powerful!

This was a power she could hardly contend with!

In a daze, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles found that the hand of Gu Chen’s Dharma image had stretched out from below, five fingers upward, as if to hold her directly in its palm.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles coughed up a mouthful of blood, her delicate face already pale as paper.

Her expression was ferocious, and a smile with rich malice hooked at the corner of her mouth, and she shrieked: “You killed me, and you will also be trapped in this world forever!!”

After the shriek, the hand had slowly gripped.

The chains connecting the earth and the sky broke, and gradually dissipated as they fell toward the ground.

The scarlet gap in the sky was slowly healing.

Only Gu Chen’s Dharma image clenched its left hand, and when it opened its hand again, there was only crumbling power in its palm, forming blade-like wind swirls trying to cut the Dharma image’s palm.

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles fell!

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, who controlled all of Teyvat and destroyed Khaenri’ah as she pleased, fell into the hands of Gu Chen’s Dharma image!

The Taixuan Sect gods who watched the whole battle were all deeply shocked and couldn’t recover for a long time.

And the transcendent group chat was like a bomb thrown into water, exploding with a bang.

【Kaeya】: Damn! Sect Master’s divine power!!! Language is already hard to describe my shock right now!! This is the existence that dominates Teyvat!!

【Lyney】: Heavens, it’s hard to imagine that the Sect Master is a human, and that humans can grow to such a point through cultivation... It’s shocking!!

【Alhaitham】: Even I find it hard to understand... Sect Master Gu doesn’t take action if he doesn’t, but once he does, it’s too shocking.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: Let’s take stock of the Sect Master’s three actions. The first action easily wiped out eight gods, and they didn’t even have time to leave behind grudges! The second action was Azhdaha inviting the Sect Master’s shadow, subduing Grass Dragon Apep in one move! The third action, Dharma, Heaven, and Earth, reached out to catch the Heavenly Nail, sword energy penetrated heaven and earth and severely injured the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, then reached out and gripped the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to death!!! Sect Master’s divine power!!!

"It was Azhdaha who invited the Sect Master's avatar, subduing the Grass Dragon Apep in one move! The third strike, manifesting the Law of Heaven and Earth, reaching out to catch the Heavenly Nail, with sword Qi piercing the heavens and earth, severely wounding the Heavenly Principles Maintainer,

and then reaching out again to crush the Heavenly Principles Maintainer to death in his hand!!! The Sect Master's divine might!!!"

【Apep】: There’s no need to emphasize it deliberately!

【Kamisato Ayaka】: This, this, this is too shocking!! Unbelievable!! (Kamisato Ayaka: Dazed)

【Thoma】: Humans can actually be so powerful... Worthy of being the Sect Master!

【Tighnari】: Although I knew the Sect Master was very strong and had grand ambitions, which is admirable, every time he takes action, the shock he brings to us is hard to describe in words. It is a kind of shock to the soul, a shock like the collapse of one’s worldview after witnessing something that was thought impossible to happen!!

A kind of shock to the soul, the kind of world-view-shattering shock after witnessing something you thought impossible happen before your eyes!!

The vast majority of Teyvat people generally believe that humans cannot contend with gods, let alone the gods who dominate everything on Celestia.

Even Miss Miss Keqing, who advocates human rule, had never imagined what Go Go Go Liyue would be like without the Rex Lapis. In the first life, Miss Miss Keqing only passively accepted all of this, and Teyvat was in a state of general peace.

And Teyvat is in a state of general peace.

If it were during the Archon War, Miss Miss Keqing would never have proposed such a foolish proposal as human rule.

It is precisely because Teyvat people believe that gods are hard to contend with that they are even more shocked.

If Gu Chen’s strength alone is because of his unique talent, because he is not from Teyvat, then the strength of the Taixuan Sect disciples is seen by countless ordinary Teyvat people.

That is real sword-flying, real immortal arts witnessed with their own eyes!

And now, the great Sect Master who brought all this about has ended the god who dominated this world!

Thinking that Gu Chen’s vision will be realized without any resistance from now on, the people of Teyvat are incredibly excited.

They really want to see the arrival of an era where humans can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with gods, or even surpass gods, and can dominate their own destiny!

【Venti】: My mood is a bit complex... Congratulations to that world!

【Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli】: Looking forward to the arrival of that time.

【Raiden Ei】: That world should become very beautiful in the future, right? Living beings rarely fight because of the Taixuan Sect, and those with qualified character have long lives and don’t worry about loss. Their way of life is slowly approaching the current era... Gods don’t have to worry about being troubled by erosion and can go further. I’m quite envious of them. (Raiden Ei: Autistic)

Lost, their way of life is slowly approaching the current era... The gods don't have to worry about being troubled by erosion, and can even go further. I'm quite envious of them. (Raiden

Ei. Autistic)"

【Furina】: I’m so excited!! Alas, but why can it only be realized in the video of the previous life? (Depressed)

【Venti】: Ms. Furina, what would the Sustainer think if she saw you say this?! What are your intentions?! (Funny)

【Nahida】: (Shivering)

【Paimon】: However, what does the last sentence of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles mean? I’m a bit worried. (Paimon: Shocked)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: I was just analyzing this too. The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles seems to mean that after she dies, the Sect Master will be trapped in this world. Undoubtedly, this is cruel to the Sect Master. After all, he is powerful and might have the ability to travel the starry sky... (Shikanoin Heizou: Detected)

"Asking if this is cruel to the Sect Master? After all, he is powerful and might even have the ability to travel the starry sky... (Shikanoin Heizou. Detecting)"

【Alhaitham】: The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, analyzing from the name, she is the one who maintains the heavenly principles. After she dies, the heavenly principles are no longer maintained. What will happen?

【Albedo】: Analyzing from the literal meaning, heavenly principles are natural laws, the fixed rules of world operation... Is it like a key part of a machine? If it is in disrepair for a long time, will it cause the machine to disintegrate?

Will lack of maintenance lead to mechanical disintegration?

【Kaeya】: If you put it that way, the impact of the Sustainer’s death is very terrifying!

Everyone’s heart tightened, and they looked at the video one after another.

Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong hurriedly flew to Gu Chen’s side to check and asked with concern: “Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, how could this Sect Master be okay?”

Gu Chen laughed softly and said: “Alright, the earth has suffered a lot of trauma because of the battle. You, the Great Elder, should pay more attention to it. Work hard. When I abdicate in the future, I’ll let you be the Sect Master!”

"Let you be the Sect Master!"

Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong laughed when she heard this: “I don’t want to be any Sect Master... But it’s good for me to go and see. We can plant more beautiful flowers in those traumatized places. By then, there will be more beautiful places in the world!”

"There are more beautiful places in the world!"

Gu Chen was fine, Sister Sister Sister Sister Sister Guizhong was relieved, and she began to happily plan those places.

She didn’t notice the haze that flashed across Gu Chen’s expression after she turned around.

Returning to the Taixuan Sect, the gods returned one after another to congratulate him.

After the gods left, Gu Chen’s figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared in a ruin.

Outside is the endless starry sky, and under his feet is the soil of the Teyvat continent.

And at this moment, these soils are constantly cracking and falling into the void.

“Will this world inevitably collapse if the Sustainer is lost?”

Watching the speed of the collapse getting faster and faster, Gu Chen understood that time was running out.

If this speed continues to stack up, Teyvat might soon collapse into dust in the endless starry sky.
