Chapter 330: The Khaenri'ah War (Subscribe!!)

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The clone nodded, activated Sage Mode, and took over control of the Great Buddha.

Then Jiang Yan stomped his right foot, and his whole body shot up into the sky, flying toward the distance.

After watching Jiang Yan leave, the clone Jiang Yan pressed his palms together, and the Great Buddha's entire body trembled violently as it stood up, walking toward the direction of the Sinking Jade Fleet.

Underground in the northwestern part of the Sumeru Desert.

(A handy little tip: Based on the new 3.6 map and storyline, one can tell that there is a gate to Khaenri'ah at the bottom of the new map, so this book sets Khaenri'ah as an underground nation stretching from the west to Natlan, north to Fontaine, and east to the Sumeru Desert region. Because the preview said that the Sumeru entrance is only one of them, there may be other entrances in other nations.)

At this moment, the once boundless northwestern desert had become fragmented, with a massive cavern standing silently in place. The Six Gods stood in the high sky, and before them was a middle-aged man wearing a white divine robe.

(The handy little tip appears again: The Heavenly Principles is named Fanes, set as male in this book. The woman who appeared at the beginning of the Genshin Impact storyline is the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, one of the four shadows of the Heavenly Principles. The four Sustainers in this book are female! No further detailed explanation will be given later. The Dendro Archon, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, did not participate in the Khaenri'ah War; she was ordered to guard the World Tree.)

And beneath the cavern before the Six Gods and the Heavenly Principles lay a seemingly prosperous nation.

"Heavenly Principles, we have never provoked you, so why have you come to invade our homeland!"

Khaenri'ah's king Irming glared furiously with his single eye, looking up at the gods standing in the sky.

"You have touched the forbidden."

"Your fate is but death!"

Heavenly Principles Fanes clearly did not wish to converse with him at length, because not only he, but even the six gods behind him could see the black mist continuously seeping from Irming's body.

"Heheheh, you—look! You gods perched up so high!"

Irming staggered forward, the black mist around him growing ever denser, and the crimson gleam in his single eye blazed brighter and brighter.

"Khaenri'ah is a nation without gods, a country built entirely by humans!"

"We are the pride of humanity!"

"And you! You gods perched up so high..."

"And yet now you want to destroy the nation we worked so hard to build..."

"It's you! Like pulling weeds! You want to root out humanity's pride from the gods' garden!"
