Chapter 259

Clearly, the other party intends to bring all the Archons in this region under their control.

First, seize one of the seven major continents, then launch an assault on the Archon Emperor's throne.

"Hmph! Truly a detestable fellow."

"If he launches an assault to subdue the Archons and seize the Emperor's throne, the Archons of the other continents, upon hearing the news, will inevitably rush to imitate him."

"By that time, the war will no longer be merely a war between Archons."

"It will be a war between Archon armies..."

Guizhong, thinking of this, wore a look of pure worry upon her beautiful face.

The scale of the future Archon War must be even more intense than now; in that case, the lives of ordinary people on this continent will become even harder.

Cloud Retainer: "Guizhong Ji?"

Aunt Ping: "It seems that at this time, we have not yet gathered together to establish the Guili Assembly."

Jean: "Eh, then why is Liyue still called Liyue this time?"

Lisa: "Li is Zhong Li's Li; for some reason, the character was changed. As for Yue, it should be because Su Bai was born under the moonlight, so it is called Liyue."

Aunt Ping: "Guizhong, truly a nostalgic time. I wonder if she can return to our side this time."

Cloud Retainer: "I feel that Guizhong and Su Bai do not seem capable of getting along well, and Su Bai did not agree to form an alliance, only agreeing to submit to Liyue."

Lumine: "Is this girl Guizhong? She seems very smart, analyzing Su Ye's thoughts at once, even deducing the future trajectory of the Archon War."

Mona: "Mm, indeed so. Although I did not participate in the Archon War, I heard that the Archon War was always a contest between single Archons. With Su Bai doing this, other Archons will surely imitate him and gather together, making the Archon War even more terrifying."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Speaking of which, could not Lord Osorobas and Lady General Raiden join forces?"

Yae Miko: "Wanting to jointly resist Liyue's attack, alliance is the best method, but I fear Lord Osorobas has already died in Liyue."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Eh? Why say that?"

Kamisato Ayaka: "I heard that the Archon Osorobas ran from Liyue to our Inazuma, gained the support of a group of abandoned people from the depths of the sea, and also obtained the miraculous power of the Coral Whorl-Beast."

Raiden Ei: "Coral Whorl-Beast? I have never seen it used."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "According to our bloodline memories, Lord Osorobas used the power of the coral to build Watatsumi Island and built a ladder for the people deeply trapped in the sea abyss to return to the Coral Island. The power of the coral should have been entirely used for the people."

Ningguang: "Alas, although the Archon War is cruel, among the Archons, there are indeed those who must protect their people no matter what."

Aunt Ping: "Guizhong was the same. She lost her life in the Great Archon War. To prevent the power exploding from her death from affecting the earth, she sealed herself within the dust. Alas..."

In a bad mood, Guizhong walked alone toward the flower sea outside Guizhong Ji.

This was the flower field she had carefully planted.

Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would always come here to clear her mind.

Only today, when Guizhong had just arrived near the flower sea, looking from afar, she saw a man and a woman, two figures, in the flower sea, apparently discussing something.

Getting closer to look.

Guizhong's beautiful eyes trembled continuously.

That black-haired man, although the other party did not know her, she knew the other party's identity.

The visitor was none other than Liyue's Sword Archon, Su Bai.

And the young girl beside him with two qilin horns on her head should be a child born from the fusion of a human and an immortal beast.

"Ganyu, whose territory is this?"

Su Bai felt the fragrance of the flower sea rushing against his face, making one feel refreshed.

"Right near our Liyue, judging by its bordering ours."

"It seems to be the territory of that Dust Archon, Hekentus."

Ganyu pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Yes, it is her territory."

"It is her!" Su Bai snorted coldly.

"I have heard of that woman; she likes to study the Essential Mechanism Arts."

"The giant crossbows she developed deal quite a heavy blow to weak Archons."

"But, alas, a pity for a smart woman; her final outcome will surely not be good."

"Eh?" Ganyu and Guizhong, secretly eavesdropping from afar, were both stunned simultaneously.

"Lord Su Bai, why do you say the Dust Archon's final outcome will surely not be good? Does that mean our Liyue's next target is her?"

Ganyu's question instantly made Guizhong's heart rise to her throat.

So nervous she perked up her ears, fearing to miss any important intelligence.

"Just look at the name she gave herself."

"Apart from the Archon name everyone possessed at the beginning, she named herself Guizhong."

"And she is the Dust Archon capable of controlling dust."

"Guizhong, the Dust Archon..."

"Returning to dust; if not death, what else could be the outcome?"

Good heavens!

The live stream audience was completely stunned.

No one expected Su Bai to have such a guess; judging the outcome the other party would encounter in the future solely based on the name.

Cloud Retainer: "Returning to dust... ah, this... seems to make a lot of sense..."

Aunt Ping: "Indeed, we never thought of this problem before."

Zhong Li: "I suddenly understand how he could name Liyue Liyue; he must have combined the identities of us two brothers."

Venti: "Hmph! Old geezer, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Hu Tao: "Ah, I get it. Zhong Li of the Rex Lapis, the 'Li' represents parting, which is an ill omen, so Su Bai replaced 'Li' with 'Li' (jasper). However, Su Bai is an Archon born by absorbing moonlight, so it is called Liyue."

Ningguang: "Eh, Headmistress Hu's analysis makes a lot of sense."

Arataki Itto: "There's actually an art to naming? We don't have such a saying in Inazuma."

Jean: "Mondstadt doesn't either; perhaps only they in Liyue have such a saying."

【"This..."】

【Guizhong was completely dumbfounded.】

【She had never imagined that Su Bai would determine her future merely by using his own name.】

【He truly underestimated people.】

【Guizhong puffed up her cheeks in a huff.】

【The only reason she knew what Su Bai looked like was because she had inadvertently witnessed him slaying the Storm Demon God back then.】

【The Storm Demon God had been furiously pouring rain into Liyue near Liyue, and the ultimate result was that he was sliced to death by a single sword strike from Su Bai.】

【Coincidentally, Guizhong in the distance saw Su Bai standing in the sky.】

【The Sword Demon God and the Geo Demon God, this pair of twin brothers, were quite famous in the vicinity.】

【It was just unexpected that the decisive and ruthless Sword Demon God actually had the habit of looking down on names...】

【"Hey, that woman eavesdropping over there, have you listened enough?"】

【Su Bai's clear shout instantly made Guizhong's body tremble in fright.】

【She slowly walked out from behind the tree.】

【Seeing this, Su Bai was stunned and asked curiously, "Are you a person from here?"】

【"What I mean is, are you a subject of the Dust Demon God Guizhong?"】

【Fine, fine, fine.】

【What an impolite fellow.】

【Acting so arrogant while talking to someone.】

【Does he really think he is the Demon God Emperor right now?】

【Guizhong stamped her feet in anger a few times, then puffed out her chest and said, "Yes, so what?"】

【"Who are you, to dare come onto the territory of the Dust Demon God Guizhong... uh, Hengitus?"】

【"My name is Su Bai, a person of Liyue."】

【"Su Bai? Heh heh, never heard of it..."】

【"Besides, what business do you Liyue people have coming onto the Dust Demon God's territory when you have nothing better to do?"】

【Angry as she was, the calmed-down Guizhong still wanted to find out his purpose for coming here through conversation with Su Bai as much as possible.】

【To prepare in advance.】

【Gazing at the other party's angry appearance.】
