"Don't even think about healing your injuries and running away."
After Bai Zhi said those words, Ausel's actions became fierce.
He roared, "Since you don't take the water veins seriously, then I'll let you taste my wrath!"
Blue energy flowed into Oser's body from beneath him, and his injuries were almost instantly healed. At the same time, the water veins that covered Liyue began to dry up rapidly.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi stopped arguing and immediately took flight. Then she opened her mouth and sprayed out a mixture of several elements of breath, aiming a barrage at Ausel's snake head.
“Hmmmm aa ...
Oser screamed in agony as the continuous energy breaths, though not as damaging as the Heavenly Waterfall in a single attack, were persistent, relentlessly eroding and evaporating Oser's body.
His body began to shrink slowly, from as tall as a mountain to an ordinary hillside, then to a two-story building, and finally to the size of a person.
Oser tried to escape, but after attempting to dive down, he discovered that a large purple net of lightning had appeared below, and touching it would result in being electrocuted.
In addition to the lightning net, there were also incredibly sturdy rock spikes, with green vines growing on them. Even if he endured the paralyzing sensation from the lightning, he would still get entangled by these tough vines and dragged onto the rock spikes.
"Go back to the seal."
When Bai Zhi saw that only Oser, who was only as tall as a person, was left, she immediately began to control the seal that had always existed there.
She had considered eliminating Oser, but the core of a true demon god was too solid. After reducing Oser to the height of a person, no matter how much she spewed, the speed at which the opponent shrank was pitifully slow.
If they really want to blast it to death, it will probably take at least ten days to half a month. Moreover, since the Demon God is dead, Liyue Harbor will most likely suffer damage from the shockwave of the Demon God's death.
This is probably why Zhongli chose to seal Oser instead of killing him.
"Damn little brat, I'll be back!!"
Oser let out a howl and was finally sealed back in.
But that wasn't the end of it. Bai Zhi flew back into the sky and looked back, discovering that the water veins of Liyue had indeed been drained by Oser, leaving them almost dry.
However, this is not a big deal.
Controlling clouds and rain, manipulating waterways, are things that dragons excel at.
Under Bai Zhi's control, the blue water power continuously separated from the sea at Liyue Harbor, then shot out in wisps to the previously dried-up water veins.
Those water veins that had originally dried up began to gush water again after receiving this power.
This is also why Bai Zhi doesn't care about Ausel's threats at all.
[Ding! Your behavior perfectly matches the image of the Rock King. Monkey Charm unlock points +100]
"Wow, so many?!"
Bai Zhi was stunned when she saw the system notification that suddenly popped up. This was the first time she had ever seen the system give so much.
Keep in mind that all the work she did related to people's livelihood before only added up to 100 points. This time, defeating Oser and protecting Liyue actually equaled all her previous efforts in one go.
With these points, I'm probably not far from unlocking a level 3 talisman. If I can do a little more, my first level 3 talisman will likely be ready soon.
[Ding! Your progress in this world has reached a certain stage. The system has determined that the mission is complete and you will soon return to the Star Iron World!]
"What the hell?!"
Before Bai Zhi could say anything, a sacred gate opened in the sky, drawing Bai Zhi inside.
"What's going on!"
Zhongli, along with Funingna, Ying, and Naxida, sensed that something was amiss.
"Wait for me, everyone, I'll be back!!"
Bai Zhi left behind these words and was immediately sucked into the sacred gate.
[The Emperor's Chronicle: The Emperor easily crushed the ancient demon god Oser in his battle and restored the water veins of Liyue. Afterwards, the Heavenly Gate opened, inviting the Emperor to the Celestial Realm for a discussion.]
193. The mobile phone can actually contact Teyvat!!
"They're back already? Isn't that a bit anticlimactic? In a novel, they'd need to pad out the story with several more chapters."
Bai Zhi stood in her own room on the train, somewhat lost in thought.
This was the longest world she had ever lived in.
"Ding Dong"
A notification sound from her phone woke Bai Zhi from her reverie.
She glanced at the screen instinctively and saw that someone had sent her a message.
Sending messages isn't the most important thing; what's more, the sender of these messages is... Funina?
"Huh??"
Bai Zhi opened the chat software with some surprise and found that it really was Fu Fu.
Not only is there Frynn, but also Zhongli, Narcida, Shadow, and a group of people I met in Liyue, all of whom are in my contact list, from Inazuma's Office to Sumeru's Order of the Lords, to Fontaine's Momo Palace, and even Kurumi's Hall of Rebirth.
What's going on? Communications from Teyvat have reached the Star Iron World. Isn't something wrong?
Bai Zhi doesn't believe that Liyue's communications have expanded to the Star Iron Universe.
In Funina's line: "Bai Zhi, where have you gone?"
Bai Zhi tried replying: Can you receive my message?
One second passed, two seconds passed, ten minutes passed, and there was still no reply.
"Am I just imagining things?"
Bai Zhi was a little confused. Just as she was about to put down her phone and go out to see what was going on, her phone chimed.
Funina: You finally replied! Oh my god, where were you? Last time during the battle with Oser, you were sucked away by that door, we were all so worried.
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and replied: How long has it been since my battle with Osel?
Funina: It's only been three days, but that's not the point. The point is, where are you? You mysteriously disappeared, but thankfully the General Affairs Department managed to control the situation and told everyone you were invited to the Upper Realm.
Bai Zhi touched her chin, then turned on the camera, took a picture of the room, and sent it to Fu Ningna.
"It's alright. I'm in another universe and probably won't be able to come back anytime soon, but that's okay. I can still communicate with you remotely and continue building Liyue."
There's no point in hiding this. Most of the gods, especially Narcida, probably already know she's not the real rock god.
Teyvat already has several outsiders, so it doesn't need another one.
Instead of replying to Bai Zhi immediately, another message popped up on her phone.
Lei Movie: Is there a way for us to come to your place too? I can help you fight.
Shadow's words are always so direct and straightforward, full of the style of a martial artist.
Nasita: Furina has already explained everything. I'm so glad you're alright. At first, we thought... Sky Island was up to something.
They were genuinely terrified at the time. After all, a door had opened in the sky, and Bai Zhi, despite her strength, was unable to resist and was directly sucked in. There are not many beings with such power on the Teyvat continent, and Sky Island is one of them.
Bai Zhi: "Relax, I've remembered all my memories. The place I'm in now should be the universe I originally came from, so don't worry, I'm just going home."
Nasita: So... will you go back to Teyvat?
Bai Zhi: That depends on luck, but I think it should happen. Besides, the people of Liyue revere me as their emperor; I can't abandon my people!
Nasita: Then I'm relieved. Um... could you satisfy my curiosity?
Bai Zhi: You said
Nasita didn't reply immediately. A few seconds later, Bai Zhi discovered that she had been added to a group called "The Teyvat Family".
"This really is... full of an indescribable style..."
Upon seeing the group chat name, Bai Zhi chuckled and made a comment.
The first person to speak in the group was Fufu: Wow, I heard Baizhi is going to reveal her background, I want to hear it!!
Zhongli: I have come here to listen to the Emperor's words.
Bai Zhi: Mr. Zhongli, there's no need for that. You are the true Rock God, aren't you?
Funinna: Huh? Mr. Zhongli is the Geo Archon??
Bai Zhi: Fu Fu, have you ever wondered why Mr. Zhongli attended the banquet of the gods before?
Funina: So that's what it meant? I thought Mr. Zhongli and Baizhi's relationship was like mine and Navelette's.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi laughed. She didn't know whether to say that Fu Ningna was smart or stupid. If she was stupid, how could she act for 500 years without being exposed? If she was smart, how could she not see through this kind of thing at all?
In the teahouse in Liyue, Zhongli, holding her phone, smiled helplessly, took another sip of tea, and then looked up at the story Tian Tiezui was telling:
"It is said that after the Emperor's rebirth, although his body shrank and his memories faded, he still cared for the people of Liyue. First, he went to Sumeru to invite the God of Grass, and then he went to Inazuma..."
"Emperor...Mr. Zhongli...Are you alright?"
A gentle breeze blew by, and Xiao suddenly appeared behind Zhongli.
These past few days, he had noticed that his Emperor's expression was extremely unpleasant. In the past, when Bai Zhi was around, the Emperor would be drinking tea and walking his birds. Although he would occasionally give instructions at the General Affairs Department, he was mostly very relaxed.
Surprisingly, Xiao saw a heartbroken expression on the Emperor's face upon hearing of Bai Zhi's sudden disappearance.
However, he was also very understanding. After all, the Emperor had been in this position for thousands of years. Humans can retire after working for a few decades, but the Emperor had worked for thousands of years. One can imagine how tiring it must have been.
Finally, a qualified and capable successor has emerged, and retirement is on the horizon.
But with a "snap," the person was gone.
It's really hard for ordinary people to accept. He even saw that the Emperor was somewhat distracted while listening to these storytellers' programs.
"I'm fine because she's back."
Zhongli smiled slightly, then poured Xiao another cup of tea.
“I know your feelings these past few days. I’m sorry to have troubled you with my situation. Consider this cup of tea my way of thanking you.”
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhongli, I cannot accept such an honor."
Xiao quickly declined.
"Bai Zhi once told me that you are too bound by your responsibilities and stuck in the past. Now, it is no longer the era of the Demon God War. The new era should have everything new. Come on, have some tea, watch a play, and relax."
......
Xiao paused for a moment, recalling what Bai Zhi had said to him in Fontainebleau.
"Well... thank you, sir."
He took the cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then found a seat next to it to sit down.
Tian Tiezui's storytelling continued: "Under the Emperor's leadership, Liyue has changed rapidly. Machinery, communications, and even our commerce are all thriving. But the demon god Oser, unaware of fate, launched a reckless attack. The Emperor then summoned a meteor from the sky to suppress it. This feat even alarmed the Upper Realm, which invited the Emperor to come and have a chat..."
194 I don't want to die
"Then, Bai Zhi, what exactly is your background?"
In the group chat, Funina asked curiously.
"My identity... is the Dragon Girl of the Immortal Ship. Hmm, after the coronation ceremony, I should be the Dragon Lord."
Bai Zhi's fingers twitched slightly as she typed these words into the chat box.
Funinga: Dragon Lord? That sounds pretty powerful. And what about the Immortal Ship?
Naxida: I'm also very curious about what the place where Baizhi is located is like.
Bai Zhi thought for a moment, then selected some photos taken in Xianzhou from her phone's album and sent them to the group.
Bai Zhi: This is the Immortal Ship, a starship civilization existing in the universe, composed of multiple starships. We worship the Emperor Bow Master, who is also known as the Hunting Star God. My hometown is the Luofu Immortal Ship.
Funina: A ship, to become a home... how big must that ship be, and how many people must live on it?
Nasita: The style of the Fairy Ship is too similar to that of Liyue.
Bai Zhi: As for the population, a single immortal ship can hold approximately a hundred billion people. Regarding size, the immortal ship doesn't actually appear very large from the outside; it's about the size of an ordinary planet. However, its interior is filled with various grotto-heavens, allowing it to easily accommodate a population of a hundred billion.
Fu Ningna: Hundreds of billions??
Even the gods were stunned by this terrifying number.
