Chapter 318: Jiang Yan Awakens (Subscribe!!)

The cave abode between the clouds.

As Jiang Yan underwent the sublimation of his soul within the consciousness space, his entire body was now wreathed in a golden radiance.

It was only because the war outside had begun — the immortals originally stationed between the clouds had all gone off to garrison other regions, and Little Ganyu also needed to head to Guili Plains for support — that there was no one around Jiang Yan at this moment.

Gradually, the blazing golden light began to retract back into Jiang Yan's body.

Before long, Jiang Yanmeng flung open his eyes and sat up.

"Where am I…?"

Jiang Yan frowned and clenched his fist.

He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have been fighting the Lord of the Abyss — where was this place?

Jiang Yan looked around at the unfamiliar ~environment with some confusion.

It wasn't exactly unfamiliar either; the surroundings actually looked a little familiar.

【Awake?】

The System's voice surfaced in Jiang Yan's mind.

"System, what's going on with me?"

Jiang Yan asked the System.

【Two thousand years of combat left your spirit utterly exhausted. You fell asleep.】

【I brought you back to Liyue.】

The System replied lightly, sounding utterly nonchalant.

"Oh? That's rare, little System."

Jiang Yan laughed heartily, stretched, and stood up.

"Ahhh, that was one comfy nap~"

Jiang Yan said, relaxing — the Abyss had been dealt with, and he instantly felt as though a great boulder had been lifted from his heart.

【Now is not the time for you to relax, Host.】

The System spoke up to remind him.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yan had only just woken up and had not yet learned of the situation outside.

【You fought the Lord of the Abyss for two thousand years, then fell into a deep slumber.】

【During the five hundred years you were asleep, the Lord of the Abyss has already made a comeback. Although he hasn't recovered his full strength, he has still launched an invasion of the entire continent through the passage Khaenri'ah opened.】

The System described the current situation, and upon learning that he had slept for five hundred years, Jiang Yan's eyes went wide.

"System, you mean…"

"I slept for five hundred years?!"

【Yes, Host.】

Jiang Yan scratched his head. No wonder.

No wonder he was bursting with energy now.

Still, it wasn't all that strange.

Two thousand years of ceaseless war — sleeping for five hundred wasn't odd at all.

"So based on what you're saying, the Khaenri'ah war has already begun again, right?"

【Yes, Host.】

The System's voice remained flat.

"That's not right — the twins didn't show up?"

Jiang Yan frowned. Logically, before the Khaenri'ah catastrophe began, one of the twins should have come out to travel.

【You can check the memories your clone provided before it vanished — the information you want should be in there.】

The System reminded Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yangang froze, his train of thought cut short.
