At that time, the Guili Plain was filled with black dust and thousands of rocks were cracked. The defense facilities of Tianheng Mountain were severely damaged. The attacks of various sea demons were so fierce that even the fortress in the valley of Luhuachi was mostly damaged.

This was a premeditated attack.

Ming Hai died in battle, Tongque sacrificed his life, his people's corpses were scattered all over the ground, the earth was riddled with holes, countless comrades who joined the war were injured, and now, even Guishun, who was also a demon god, fell on the eve of the dawn that he hurriedly rushed to.

"It seems that I still can't go on with you..."

This was the first time Morax faced separation so directly.

"Forget about the lock..." Gui Zhong's figure became increasingly shabby and ethereal, his breath barely perceptible. He tried hard to open his eyes and look at him, still revealing a somewhat lonely smile.

"Qianluo told me that instead of being afraid of death, he would rather be remembered by everyone..."

"And now, I also understand that for me, death is not something to be afraid of. Those tiny and fragile people who are as small as dust always work hard because they are afraid."

"And I, because I don't want to see tragedy happen, am also working hard for this. I think Qian Luo must have the same idea..."

The girl looked up at the powerful demon god who had been silent for a long time with difficulty, and gradually revealed a gentle smile. She stretched out her hand towards the land she loved deeply with great attachment, and slowly turned into extremely fine dust.

"The token of the covenant is my challenge to you. I have hidden all my wisdom in that stone lock... If you can unlock it..."

The girl's whispered words were still scattered in the wind.

He still couldn't wait for the continuation of this sentence.

Morax was unable to unlock the lock in the many years that followed, and the wild colored lilies that covered the mountains and fields almost disappeared as time went by.

A war that changed the continent's landscape seemed to have also invisibly changed more things.

For example, a sudden flood destroyed Guiliji, the immortals had to protect the people's migration south for refuge, there were heavy rains and floods, and a fierce battle between Morax and the sea demon. The journey south took more than ten days.

For example, after temporarily repelling the sea demon and the people finally reaching the territory of Liyue with the help of the delicious food made by the hearth god Marcosius that could dispel dampness and cold, Morax rushed as fast as possible in the direction where Shen Qianluo had left.

During this time, he hardly uttered a word.

The aura around him was heavy and the murderous intent in his body frightened all the immortals. They even suspected that he was on this trip with the intention of killing the traitor-like Xiao Shen Qianluo for the people.

Fortunately, no matter how sad he was in his heart, as a monarch, Morax still maintained his calm and judgment.

"The matter has not yet been decided. Until there is solid evidence... I will not take action against anyone."

Watching Morax's back as he left alone, Xueyue, who came to persuade him, suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness.

The commander had been shouldering the duties of a king for a long time, but for the first time he felt lonely in the sight of Morax.

It was exactly the same look that flashed across Shen Qianluo's eyes when he left that day.

"If the threat you are talking about is forcing Namorax to misunderstand me and hate me..."

The slanting wind blew across the boy's soft silver hair. In the endlessly dimming sky, the curve at the corner of Shen Qianluo's mouth disappeared. He stared quietly at the fragments of the star, his voice calm and indifferent.

"Then you can just declare defeat. Hatred is also a strong emotion. Even if it cannot be considered as faith, to me, it is just the difference between fine wine and tea."

The deep eyes of Tianxing Fragment darkened instantly, like a scorpion filled with poison: "Sure enough, the young master who has revealed his true nature is really a cold and heartless person."

Shen Qianluo looked at him and suddenly said, "Then you don't have to pretend anymore."

He saw the movement of the Star Fragment sluggish slightly.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. The boy tilted his head and smiled with an ambiguous expression: "You intend to force me to come at a critical time in the battle, but it is different from our plan."

"How do you intend to explain? Is it that I didn't die under the knife of "Mother", or is it a prophecy that is inexplicably confusing, or... for the so-called destiny star in your mouth, it is so ridiculous that you personally took action with your clone-"

"The king who is above the laws of nature... my pathetic, "father"?"

"..."

The fragment of the star, or "father", heard the words, and the gloomy expression on his face finally turned into a smile, sticky and gentle, but underneath the warmth was hidden a deeper sticky toxin.

"It is indeed my most proud masterpiece..."

He lowered his eyes lovingly, looking down at the boy's slightly complex and dark expression, and gently rubbed his slightly cold cheek with his fingertips, "There is no need to question my decision. The life and death of all living beings is just a game."

"Keep your disguise good, Luo..."

The eyes looking down were clearly filled with divinity and tenderness. The "father" raised the corner of his mouth slightly and leaned over to the boy's ear. His voice, as soft as a silk thread, was as sticky as a venomous snake, full of kindness and admonition.

"——Live the way I want."

"..."

Looking up, he watched the last ray of divinity of the star fragment dissipate, the light dimmed, and quickly flew away from Teyvat into the sky. Shen Qianluo opened his mouth, as if he had thousands of words to express, but fell silent when his eyelashes closed.

The cold wind blew the young man's slightly drooping hair. He stood there for a long time, and suddenly laughed lightly and extremely coldly.

"I've already said it... I've been in a bad mood lately..."

"Don't come and provoke me one after another."

Rushing to the top of the hill with an almost absurd and extremely unhappy mood, Shen Qianluo lowered his hood, and was about to turn around and leave without hesitation, but his movements suddenly stopped.

He noticed that the demon god coming from afar slowly stopped a hundred meters away from him. His beautiful golden dragon eyes were familiar and majestic, but they also revealed an extremely complex and unfamiliar expression.

The so-called "He" would not allow others to hear their conversation.

But when he flew away, Morax witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Shen Qianluo let the fragments of the star fly into the sky.

At this moment, the boy's expression changed in a subtle and complex way: "Ali..."

He finally met the gaze of another king, full of doubt: "Did you do this?"
