Chapter 1377

"But if the opponent were to take me out in one strike, even with the blessing of Lord Luo Feng, I would almost certainly be unable to obtain a Path,"

Beidou said.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Indeed, while there was a possibility of a breakthrough on their side, if the opponent were too powerful, they could be wiped out in an instant.

In that case, no matter how many possibilities existed, it would be useless.

The crew of the Alcor did not want Beidou to take such a risk that might cost her life.

"Then what should we do? Do we have any other options?"

Zhongzuo scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.

"I haven't thought of any good solutions for the time being."

"In any case, let's proceed in the direction of Inazuma first."

"Perhaps breaking through that thundercloud surrounding Inazuma will allow me to reach the baseline for walking the Path of Trailblaze."

After finishing, Beidou looked toward the direction of Inazuma.

With a direction set, everyone on the Alcor quickly sprang into action.

Before long, the Alcor sailed out of Liyue Harbor.

Beidou went to the bow, observing the sea breeze and weather as she always did.

When the Alcor reached a position not far from Guyun Stone Forest, Beidou's brows suddenly furrowed.

"The wind direction, and the direction of the currents have changed."

"Strange, there shouldn't be such changes in this season."

Just as Beidou was feeling puzzled, a massive tremor suddenly came from the direction of Guyun Stone Forest.

"That is... the Overlord of the Vortex?!"

Beidou looked at the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, standing tall at the center of the tremor, her pupils contracting.

"What?! The Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, how could he appear here?"

"Shouldn't he have been sealed on the seabed by the Geo Archon himself?"

Zhongzuo hurried to Beidou's side, looking in astonishment at Osial, who had burst out from the sea in the distance.

The voices of Beidou and Zhongzuo drew the attention of the Alcor's crew; at first, everyone thought they were just joking.

But upon seeing Osial's massive body, the expressions of every crew member on the Alcor became extremely solemn.

"Captain, what should we do next? Are we still going to try and break through to Inazuma?"

Zhongzuo asked.

"Now is not the time to go to Inazuma." Beidou shook her head and said:

"The Geo Archon is in seclusion, and the seal suppressing Osial may have loosened; he might have appeared for this reason."

"At this moment, the consumption of the Geo Archon, the Adepti, and the Qixing is immense."

"Osial appearing at this time might mean he will strike at Liyue."

Zhongzuo nodded and said:

"I understand. It seems we are to follow Osial and monitor his actions."

"Give the order, Big Sister Beidou."

Beidou took a deep breath and turned to look at the crew of the Alcor, who were already prepared.

"Everyone, let's move out. Follow Osial."

The crew of the Alcor: "Yes, Big Sister!"

The Alcor, which had been aimed toward Inazuma, quickly turned its bow and followed Osial's trajectory at top speed.

Beidou stood at the bow, her eyes deep as she watched Osial, who seemed to be stretching his body:

"I hope this guy will consider the fact that Lord Luo Feng's Astral Express is still in Liyue and not go on a rampage against Liyue like Azhdaha did."

………………

Liyue.

Jade Chamber.

"Welcome back, Lady Keqing, Lady Ningguang."

"Do you need to rest for a while?"

Ganyu nodded slightly as she saw Keqing and Ningguang return to the Jade Chamber.

"If possible, I really would like to rest for a while."

"However, in this situation where the Geo Archon is in seclusion, I don't have time to rest yet."

Ningguang rubbed her forehead and looked at the two Astral Expresses docked beside the Jade Chamber.

"Moreover, I need to keep a constant watch on the guests who came to Liyue from the universe with Lord Luo Feng."

Ningguang said.

"Indeed, in case Mr. Screwllum, Professor Ratio, and other cosmic guests have any needs, I must be the first to know and respond."

Keqing nodded in deep agreement.

"But you two helped the Geo Archon protect Liyue earlier; you must be very tired. Do you really not need to rest?"

Lumine walked over with Paimon.

As a Pathstrider, she could better sense the weakness of Keqing, Ningguang, and the others at this moment.

She could also better feel how much Path energy Keqing, Ningguang, and the others had consumed to power the protective array earlier.

"Although tired, it is not yet to the point where I must rest."

"By the way, Traveler, didn't you go for a stroll with the others?"

Ningguang asked with a smile.

"Liyue can be explored at any time; I would rather wait here for Luo Feng now."

Lumine said.

Lumine believed that since Luo Feng had teleported from the Jade Chamber to Fontaine earlier,

he would likely return to the Jade Chamber later.

It was rare for Luo Feng to linger in Teyvat, and Lumine did not want to miss the chance to spend time with him.

Ningguang, who understood Lumine, showed a smile on her face, clearly understanding why Lumine was waiting here.

She smiled and said to Lumine:

"I see. Since the Traveler wants to wait here, then wait here... Hmm?!"

Before Ningguang could finish, a peculiar power carried by the sea breeze caught her attention.

"That over there is..."

Ningguang frowned slightly, a bad premonition suddenly arising in her heart.

"Do you feel it too, Ningguang?"

Keqing turned around, her expression extremely solemn.

"Yes, if I am not misperceiving due to being too weak."

"That should be the aura of a god."

Ningguang said.

"A god?"

Ganyu looked over in surprise.

"Everyone, look at the forum, something has happened."

"A crew member on the Alcor has started a live stream; there is indeed a god appearing."

Lumine said.

Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, and the others immediately opened the Teyvat forum and found the post Lumine was pointing to.

Instantly, Osial's massive body and the much smaller Alcor appeared before their eyes.

"The Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, how could he appear from the seal?"

"And at this time... wait, could it be that he had already broken free?"

"Was he just waiting for such an opportunity all along?"

Keqing said with a tightly furrowed brow.

"Regardless of whether he intends to take revenge on Liyue while the Geo Archon is in seclusion, the Adepti are away, and we are exhausted,"

"we cannot let him approach Liyue Harbor."
