"Let's go! We'll crush all justice!"
A massive abyss passage unfolded before her, and she was the first to step into it.
"fluorescent!"
Upon seeing his younger sister appear, Sora immediately joined the fight to beat up Tenri.
His strength has long since been fully restored, and he is now much stronger than before.
Tenri was already struggling against the Nibelungen, and now with the addition of two more powerful fighters, the battle immediately became one-sided.
Jiang Bai had no intention of helping; he looked at Paimon, who had flown to his side.
Aren't you going to help?
"Me?" Paimon pointed at himself, bewildered. "Am I supposed to get slapped to death?"
Jiang Bai laughed, "Ishtar, aren't you going to help Tenri?"
He had already discovered that Paimon was actually the Time Ruler, one of the four rulers—Ishtar.
She appeared beside Sora, guiding him along the way to become the key to saving various kingdoms.
She can follow the void using teleportation anchors, appearing and disappearing suddenly.
Who would believe that her background is simple?
Of the four rulers, the Death Ruler became the law of nature, the Life Ruler died in Kanria, and the Space Ruler perished in past wars.
Only Istaru, who is still active, remains, helping Inazuma plant the divine cherry blossom from the future to save the past.
"Oh dear, you found out." Having been exposed, Paimon simply stopped pretending.
She put her hands on her hips and sighed, "But it's not what you think. My strength is almost exhausted. Now I can only bully wild boars."
Is Paimon your real name?
"No, it's my friend's name."
The name of the first space ruler to disappear was Paimon.
She used this name for two reasons: first, to conceal her identity, and second, to remember her old friends.
Just like Barbatos used his friend's name and body.
Only the two oldest demon gods had ever heard of the name Paimon.
Do you know where the weakest point in the entire Teyvat region is?
Jiang Bai really didn't know.
"where?"
Paimon looked up at the sky.
"Just like an egg has pores, Teyvat's weakest point is Sky Island."
"It's actually on Sky Island..."
Jiang Bai was surprised.
He tried to fly to Sky Island several times, but he just couldn't get there no matter what he did.
No matter how high he flew, Sky Island seemed to always hang high in the sky, unmoved and untouchable.
"Heavenly principles guard that place, isolating it from all prying eyes, both inside and outside the world. Only there can the eggshell be broken from within, allowing the world to be reborn."
This is also the reason why we must overcome the laws of nature.
He is the guardian and the trial.
If even the laws of nature cannot be defeated, then destroying the world is nothing but wishful thinking.
As the two talked, the battle with Tenri came to an end.
"You've won."
Tenri's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a black and red cube.
This is the key to Sky Island.
With the demise of the divine law, the defenses of Teyvat weakened at an extremely rapid pace.
Cracks rapidly appeared all over the world, from which monsters poured out.
"There's not enough time!"
The Ice Queen looked serious.
Without the protection of the forces of nature, Teyvat's defenses are on the verge of collapse.
"Traveler, it's time for us to reach our final destination."
Paimon gently touched the cube, and the cube instantly grew larger, transforming into a doorway.
Looking at the collapsed door, Kong felt somewhat dazed.
His journey began on the Isle of Skye and ended there as well.
“Brother, go. I have lost the right to shatter the world, but now, there is still something I can do.”
Ying stood with her sword in hand, her gaze sweeping across the desolate wilderness.
In the wilderness, countless pitch-black, indescribable monsters were constantly emerging from the cracks.
Kong nodded and walked in with Paimon.
Jiang Bai looked at Nibelungen, "Aren't you going?"
Nibelungen shook his head. "I cannot use the power of the elements to break the world."
"Then I'll leave the outside to you."
Jiang Bai stepped inside.
He stood on Sky Island, a place that was now completely different from when he had arrived.
The once magnificent stone pillars seem to have been eroded by time, becoming decayed and old, and even cracks have appeared in the ground beneath our feet.
The three of them walked along the long passage until they reached the end.
There was only darkness here, like nothingness, and nothing existed.
"Is this the place? How do we break through? By force?"
Jiang Bai tried to throw a punch forward, but it was as if he were hitting thin air; he couldn't touch anything.
"What can truly disrupt the world is desire."
"desire?"
"It is the purest desire that arises spontaneously from the bottom of countless people's hearts."
Paimon removed the halo from her head and hummed softly, her voice carried by the wind, spreading throughout every corner of Teyvat.
“Listen to me.”
On the battlefield, the soldiers were roaring.
They are fighting for victory.
In the city, people are hiding in their homes.
They pleaded for peace and stability.
Countless people drew their swords and engaged in fierce battles with the demons.
The cannon fodder roared, the swords trembled, and their burning desires caused each Eye of God to burst forth with scorching light.
"For Teyvat!"
"For Teyvat!"
"Everything for Teyvat!"
They shouted loudly.
Countless wishes converged, like countless starlight, completely illuminating this crown composed of stars.
"Goodbye, my best friend, your work as guide is over. Ascend your throne and, together with our wishes, shatter this world!"
Paimon smiled and said goodbye, leaving only his crown floating above his head, transforming into a crown of stars.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from her empty eyes.
Behind him, magnificent wings of light unfurled, and the longsword in his hand resembled a sky full of stars.
He gripped the longsword with both hands and thrust it fiercely into the void ahead.
"For Teyvat!"
The invisible fragments shattered, as if a fledgling bird had finally broken free of its eggshell and poked its head out to breathe the air.
Teyvat seems to have been cleansed by an invisible force, becoming vast and full of life.
One by one, the cracks disappeared, and the monsters, having lost their source of power, fell silent and turned into ashes under the gunfire.
Jiang Bai looked ahead and saw that it was no longer a void, but a vast and dazzling starry river.
He looked down at his feet and saw that the war had ended and the long-cursed Hilichurls had returned to human form.
He saw that the abyss had vanished without a trace, and life had returned to the desert.
He saw Hu Tao standing amidst the flames, holding a long spear.
He saw people coming out of their houses to bask in the sunlight, and they wept with joy.
The poet, who loves fine wine, strums his zither, and the song of the heavens is carried by the wind across the land.
"When the traveler's journey comes to an end, he has a wish."
He said,
May the children's smiles always remain.
May the sunshine spread to every corner of the world.
May the earth always bloom with sweet flowers.
