Chapter 264

For example, the suppressed Osial, or Maxios who lost his power.

Though they have survived from the Archon War until now, they have already lost the strength to contend with any single Archon.

All the remaining Archons perished in the fighting.

Such an experience is despairing.

Once, Guili Plains was founded by the alliance between Liyue and Guizhong.

Because of Guizhong's death, it completely lost its former prosperity.

The alliance was also formed to resist the invasion of other Archons.

But, if all the other Archons were to die, the so-called alliance would not be allowed to exist.

And because Su Bai is a reincarnator, Sky Island issued a new order.

If one marches toward the throne of the Archon Emperor, then it becomes a war between Archon organizations; through the existence of the organization, Archons can also continue to exist in Teyvat for a long time.

There is no need to carry out the final slaughter.

"Guizhong's death was perhaps also because of the order of the Archon War."

"This land of Liyue can only be controlled by one Archon."

Zhong Li's arm trembled slightly.

Su Bai's words just now truly moved him somewhat.

As an elder brother, he also bears an elder brother's responsibility.

From Zhong Li's understanding of Su Bai, even if he cannot become the Archon Emperor in this war—

He would ultimately sacrifice his own life to leave Zhong Li as the ruler of Liyue.

Venti: "Sigh, this is the order of Teyvat. It reminds me of the Northern Wolf King—even without war, he left behind only a wisp of a remnant soul for other matters."

Focalors: "But I remember Lei Dianying and Raiden Makoto..."

Lei Dianying: "Makoto, she... our bond of twins is not the same as Su Bai and Zhong Li's from a past life. Makoto and I are essentially twins, so that's why it's fine."

Buer: "It's as if some unseen great hand is pushing things along. In Sumeru back then, King Deshret, the Flower God... muddle-headedly got tainted with forbidden knowledge... no amount of persuasion could stop them..."

Nahida: "Su Bai truly is still a gentle person."

Alice: "This road ahead will absolutely not be easy either. Su Bai, wanting to protect the person beside him who calls him elder brother, has stepped onto a road built of blood and white bone. If he is gentle, his heart will ache all the more."

【Guizhong fell silent.】

【She kept repeating Su Bai's words from just now.】

【Just as the other party said, if one charges toward the throne of the Archon Emperor, success would mean keeping all the Archons by one's side.】

【But, the brutality of that war...】

【"¨ˇ Don't worry."】

【The sudden smile on Su Bai's face made Guizhong startle.】

【A breeze brushed past.】

【Guizhong could not help but lift a strand of her own hair.】

【"When Zhong Li and I were born, we witnessed an even more terrifying war."】

【"In that battle, the heavens split and the continent sank."】

【"That was a war from the heavens, a war brought by outsiders."】

【"I think the one in the heavens wishes to establish the final organization of Archons in Teyvat—"】

【"Presumably also out of worry that Teyvat might encounter the invasion of outsiders in the future."】

【"One person controlling the continent is far more convenient than dividing it among seven."】

【"The gods in the heavens may also be doing this to screen for that suitable manager."】

【After saying this.】

【Su Bai slowly stood up, standing before Guizhong.】

【He extended his hand and said sincerely, "God of Dust, Hagenthus, join us in Liyue."】

【"Lend me your strength, help me ascend to the throne of the Archon Emperor."】

【Mm!】

【Facing Su Bai's invitation, Guizhong's heart trembled.】

【Moonlight spilled across the face of the man before her, and it actually gave her a faint feeling of yearning.】

【Guizhong had just wanted to reach out her hand, yet puffed up her cheeks and turned her head aside.】

【"Didn't you say before that my name meant returning to dust?"】

【"Besides, you don't even dare to call me Guizhong. I still like the name Guizhong."】

【"I thought other Archons all liked being called by their Archon names." Su Bai immediately laughed.】

【"Hmph! That's only what you think." Guizhong pouted.】

【When she looked at Su Bai again, Su Bai slapped his chest and said:】

【"I will definitely keep you safe."】

【"And become the final victor, unifying Teyvat and ending the Archon War."】

【"In the future, we will still chat and laugh here in this sea of flowers, recounting the memories of this journey."】

【"Here, I make this oath to you beneath the moon."】

【"The moon of tonight shall never set in the west; this sweet dream shall never awaken."】

The oath Su Bai made to Guizhong.

Recounting their beautiful future.

(Well said) This beautiful future is just like tonight's full moon high in the sky—it shall never set in the west, and such a sweet dream shall never awaken.

It was Su Bai's oath to Guizhong, foreshadowing their future success.

Kamisato Ayaka: "I... I'm absolutely in love..."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Who could possibly resist this? If I were Guizhong, I think I'd be so excited I'd just leap straight into Su Bai's arms."

Yae Miko: "Oh my god, this is Su Bai's true power of flirting."

Lumine: "So annoying, I'm... so jealous my teeth are itching."

Lisa: "Oh my, no wonder people like him, my heart trembles just listening."

Furina: "Tonight's moon shall never set in the west, only this sweet dream, never to wake again, boohoo, I love it so much."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: "Can we reunite? I don't want him to change the world for me or anything, just say a few sweet words to me and that would be enough."

Alice: "I'm completely dumbfounded, why was he so pure when he was following me around, so annoying, wah..."

Rhinedottir: "Ugh, you lot have all had your turn, can't you think about us who have nothing at all?"

Venti: "Don't be too envious, as long as Old Su dares to swear an oath, the Reincarnation System will definitely send a knife."

Dvalin: "Sorry everyone, he's drinking again."

Oser: "What should one say at a moment like this?"

Ensai: "Someone come drag the Anemo God Barbatos out and chop him up."

Nilou: "Someone come drag the Anemo God Barbatos..."

Klee: "Mommy, can I say it along with Uncle Ensai?"

Alice: "Hahaha, I say, Lord Barbatos, you really are not likeable."

Lumine: "Just drag him out and chop him up anyway, before the System sends a knife, let's first give Mondstadt's beloved Anemo God a big sturdy blade."

Furina: "The kind that cuts him clean in half at the waist..."

Focalors: "Before we carry out the torture on the Anemo God, I think we should wait for Su Bai to come back, and have him stand in the sea of flowers on the floating island and make up one sweet line for each of us sisters."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: "Agreed."

Furina: "Must be carried out."

Chapter 144: Furina: I'm absolutely the ideal wife, alright

【The night of the oath beneath the moon.】

【Guizhong agreed to bring her people and join Liyue.】

【Liyue, having absorbed the God of Dust, gained all of Guizhong's wisdom as well.】

【The merging of both powers also gave Guizhong access to more resources for creating mechanisms.】

【In the matter of mechanism creation, Cloud Retainer was especially interested.】

【She and Guizhong developed and researched new Ruin Guards together, strengthening the Ruin Guards' offensive capabilities.】
