Chapter 223

~7 min read 1,389 words

At least throughout the Liyue region, he had never seen the surrounding scenery before.

"This is..."

"Whose graveyard?"

Su Bai calmed his mind, only to realize that at some point he had been brought by that intense light to an unfamiliar cemetery.

But when Su Bai clearly saw the inscription on the tombstone before him, his clear pupils trembled suddenly.

Tomb of Su Bai, the True Lord of Liyue's Stability.

And on the tombstones flanking this one were inscribed respectively: Tomb of Tianquan Ningguang of the Liyue Seven Stars, and Tomb of Yuheng Keqing of the Liyue Seven Stars.

"Eh?"

"Ningguang and Keqing..."

"Wait, this tombstone..."

"What exactly is this place?"

The sudden turn of events instantly caused the live broadcast room to explode.

That mysterious woman had actually taken Su Bai to a graveyard, and the tombstones were not just for him alone.

Those rows of upright tombstones gave people an ominous premonition.

At the very least, there were two of the most crucial figures among the Liyue Seven Stars familiar to the people of Liyue.

Tianquan Ningguang and Yuheng Keqing.

Keqing: "This... is my debut supposed to be in the form of a tombstone..."

Ningguang: "Ah, in the Blinking technique, my tombstone has already been erected?"

Hu Tao: "What on earth is going on? Who exactly is that mysterious woman, where has she taken Su Bai, why..."

Paimon: "She just said it, the future, the future Liyue is a living hell."

Arataki Itto: "What, did that mysterious woman take Su Bai to the future?"

Yae Miko: "What exactly is happening? This is the first time I've seen an ability that can take people to the future."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Who exactly is that mysterious woman? Why does she possess such terrifying power? Could it truly be the work of the surviving female demon general?"

Zhong Li: "Impossible. As things stand, even Su Bai has not displayed the power to traverse time; what could that female demon general amount to?"

Lumine: "I recall there is someone in Teyvat who can control time."

Raiden Ei: "Lumine, are you referring to the person who, just as Makoto did, planted the cherry blossom tree of the Grand Narukami Shrine from the present into the past..."

Lumine: "Yes, I believe that mysterious woman is extremely likely to be the same person."

Zhong Li: "Could it be the Anemo Archon among the four above who specifically controls time..."

Zhong Li: "It seems the future Liyue truly underwent a great change, so the Anemo Archon was alerted to travel to the past and take Su Bai to the future Liyue?"

Venti: "But... with Su Bai's abilities..."

Nahida: "No, do not forget, six hundred years ago Su Bai used the White Jade Five-Colored Stone at his waist to mend the fractured space of Teyvat, and used the long sword named Xuanyuan to suppress the Khaenri'ah calamity. These two miraculous powers were likely too abundant, and the remaining power was absorbed by the Celestial Island."

Focalors: "Ah... so the Anemo Archon has become much stronger than before?"

Alice: "I agree with Nahida's conjecture; after all, the Celestial Island once absorbed Su Bai's power as new momentum for its operation."

Neuvillette: "It seems the situation in the future is not merely a matter for Liyue; I imagine the entire Teyvat has been implicated."

Varka: "If that mysterious woman is truly the Anemo Archon, the matter absolutely exceeds our imagination."

Furina: "I originally thought Su Bai's life in Liyue would be a warm daily routine; I didn't expect this time to be so grand, with the ones above coming down."

Chapter 125: Hu Tao, please, come back, True Lord of Stability

The story unfolding in this episode leaves one at a loss.

But they can clearly feel that Su Bai's journey to Liyue is far more perilous than in the Previous episodes.

Otherworldly demons, the Anemo Archon of the Celestial Island.

The jade that mended the sky, the divine sword named Xuanyuan.

All these factors combined are enough to illustrate the terror of this cycle.

Not to mention the past Su Bai traveling to the Liyue land, which the Anemo Archon calls a living hell.

And a tombstone appearing right at the debut.

The tombstone of the future Su Bai.

Nahida: "So the future Su Bai perished due to some matter, and the managers above had no choice but to entrust the Anemo Archon Istal to take the past Su Bai to the future?"

Neuvillette: "If that mysterious woman is truly the Anemo Archon, perhaps Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was right. Although she wrapped herself tightly and deliberately hid her identity, her attitude toward Su Bai was very kind."

Navia: "How could this be? How could the future Su Bai truly die? If even Su Bai cannot solve it and dies, what could the past him change by going to the future?"

Abyssal: "Is this the treatment Su Ye receives upon descending to Liyue? Truly worthy of returning to his second hometown; I feel this matter has truly become huge."

Fischl: "Has the world-destroying great demon king appeared?"

Nilou: "Ah, could the future Liyue have been destroyed by Mr. Su Bai?"

Klee: "That shouldn't be. Mr. Su Bai's tombstone has already been erected; if Mr. Su Bai had destroyed Liyue or Teyvat, how could the Anemo Archon take the past him to the future?"

Cloud Retainer: "I currently do not understand the significance of the Anemo Archon taking Su Bai from the past to the future. Su Bai has lost two divine artifacts; even if someone must be taken to end the calamity, they should seek out the Su Bai who possesses the two divine artifacts."

Nahida: "We can only watch forward slowly; the Cycle System will surely provide the answer."

Standing before his own tombstone.

Su Bai's face was covered in black lines.

What is this thing?

Could it be that the strange woman just now used a crystal ball to plunge him into some kind of environment?

"Could that woman be Ning Ke?"

Su Bai habitually rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

But the aura on that woman did not carry the demonic energy of otherworldly demons.

Su Bai had lost the Nüwa Stone and the Xuanyuan Sword.

However, with his own strength, it was not an easy thing to make him fall into an Illusionary Realm.

Let alone Ning Ke, even her direct superior, the Western Demon Lord, lacked the ability to do so.

"Who exactly is that fellow?"

"Could this truly be the Liyue of the future?"

Su Bai muttered a few words and immediately dismissed the Thoughts within.

What future Liyue being a human hell.

It was simply a load of nonsense.

Moreover, dragging people from the past to the future, time chaos and the like, was even more absurd.

Especially the tombstone before him, which made Su Bai feel amused.

At the very least, he still had a certain understanding of his own strength.

There simply did not exist anyone in this world capable of killing him.

If one had to say it, only he himself could kill himself.

"Perhaps that mysterious woman used some special ability to temporarily make me fall into an Illusionary Realm? This is quite realistic."

"Even the Offering before my grave is a Golden Silk Shrimp Ball; the person making the offering actually knows I like eating this kind of thing."

Keqing: "Eh? Our Liyue Stability True Lord also likes Golden Silk Shrimp Balls?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "I recall you, Keqing, also like Golden Silk Shrimp Balls very much."

Hu Tao: "Keqing and Tianquan Ningguang accompanying the True Lord on the left and right feels quite interesting."

Yae Miko: "The strange part is, if even Su Bai is dead, the tombstones beside him should not be for Sister Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe."

Ganyu: "I don't know. Could it be that the future me and Seeing Shenhe did not die?"

Seeing Shenhe: "At the very least, there must still be living people in Liyue; otherwise, who would make Previous offerings to Senior Brother?"

Su Bai curiously picked up the Golden Silk Shrimp Ball before the grave and ate it in one bite.

"Hmm..."

"It's quite fragrant. Is this the work of Xiangling?"

"The heat control is still slightly lacking."

Su Bai swallowed the Golden Silk Shrimp Ball and wiped his lips.
