The moment Hua Sanli tossed Zhang Fan to the Ghost King, the mission prompt sounded.
Because handing him over to the other side meant he was safe.
Zhang Fan could finally be considered to have officially stepped onto the demonic path.
So the mission naturally came to an end.
Almost at the same time, everyone received the notification.
[Beep... Congratulations to all participants for completing the five-star multiverse mission. Mission points reward: 800,000.]
[Notice: You may choose to return immediately, or remain here for a while.]
[Remark: The maximum remaining time is 25 minutes.]
Time was limited, so while they still had it, Yae Miko called the others over and kept moving mountains and digging up the ground.
Anything valuable, they took it all.
Nearby, the Spirit Venerable watched as every tree and blade of grass belonging to Qingyun was dug up and hauled away.
His heart bled.
Yet he could do nothing to stop it.
He could only watch in silence.
Inside the multiverse mission chat.
Mona: "This mission felt so easy... I should've gone too! Honestly... such a waste of a five-star mission chance..."
Beidou: "Easy? You're really overthinking it. If Raiden Shogun hadn't gone over there, would the fighting have been this simple?"
Keqing: "Exactly. If Hua Sanli hadn't used that illusion earlier, Zhang Fan probably wouldn't have been able to fully fall into the demonic path either..."
Kujou Sara: "The yaksha and the divine beasts blocked countless righteous cultivators. Otherwise, the battle wouldn't have ended this quickly. The Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword still had some power after all.
More importantly, we never intended to cause any more slaughter..."
If they had really meant to kill, they would have already gone on a rampage.
It was true that others might have been able to hold them back.
But if something unexpected happened, that would still be bad.
Su Han: "I guess I overestimated the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword... Still, being able to finish it like this is pretty good! Next time, I'll calculate the mission more accurately..."
Ningguang: "That's not your fault. The real settlement only comes after the mission ends. What matters is the actual gains..."
Even though both yaksha and Ganyu had gone, which made it look a little excessive, this mission had the advantage of being able to move the whole of Qingyun away.
That alone was extremely satisfying.
While they chatted, time slowly ran out.
Once the mission ended, everyone chose to return.
As Raiden Shogun and the others withdrew, the Ghost King also received the news.
Looking at the ruined mess that was left of Qingyun Sect, he said to everyone, "Triumphant return... go back!"
"Ohhh..."
The demonic disciples all began to leave.
Even though the Ghost King had not found his daughter, he somehow felt that she was very safe.
That was strange.
On Qingyun's side, after the demonic sect withdrew, an old man walked out from the shadows.
"Finally over. What a pity... after today, our Qingyun Sect is going downhill. Sigh..."
"Uncle-Master, don't say that. If not for those outsiders, we definitely could have defeated those demons..."
"What's the point of saying that? The outcome has already been decided. Instead, what that fox demon said just now is what I care about most... the difference between humans and demons. What exactly is it?"
He had already learned about what happened in the little village at the foot of the mountain.
He had also heard quite a lot about Zhang Fan.
And now things had turned into this.
What could he even say?
...
Everyone returned to the Jade Chamber.
Yae Miko and Raiden Shogun smiled and said, "I'm going to set up the scenery, okay? Are you coming with me...?"
"Mm... let's go together."
"Great. As for the storage things in the Serenitea Pot, leave those to you. I'm heading off with Raiden Shogun to expand Inazuma!"
That fox grabbed Raiden Shogun's hand and flew toward Araumi.
Meanwhile, Hua Sanli released Biyao and the master-disciple pair, Shuiyue and her student.
The three of them looked at the unfamiliar world, all a little nervous.
But when they sensed the thick, almost overwhelming spiritual energy, all of them were stunned.
"Is this the immortal realm? The spiritual energy here is so strong. If I cultivated here, my progress would be hundreds of times faster than in my sect!"
"Huh? Demon girl... didn't you die?"
"Idiot. That was a fox clone. Only fools from the righteous sects like you couldn't tell."
Now that she had come to an unfamiliar world, Biyao had completely let go of the feelings she once had.
Instead, when she saw Xueqi appear, she could not help bickering with her.
"Who are you calling a fool?"
"Whoever asks is one! Bleh..."
"You..."
Xueqi could not help wanting to tear her mouth apart.
But Shuiyue stopped her.
"Enough nonsense. Do you even know where we are? If you upset someone here, you may not even keep your lives."
After hearing her rebuke, the two girls finally reacted.
They were captives now.
No longer the young lady of Ghost King Sect, and no longer sect geniuses.
They were someone else's slaves.
After realizing that, the three of them immediately became much more obedient.
At that moment, a woman dressed in strange clothing came over and said, "Come with me. My name is Mona. From today on, you'll be under my management.
Of course, if you don't like me, you can work under someone else.
This is not the immortal realm.
This is the world of Teyvat. Once you're here, forget the past and start a new life.
By the way, if you work hard, you can live forever.
Living for several thousand years while still looking the same as you do now is nothing special here..."
Shuiyue and the others were dumbfounded.
None of them had expected this.
So this place was not the immortal realm.
It was another world.
After learning more later, they also understood why they had been captured.
Simply put, these people needed fighters.
So they brought them here.
As for going back?
They should forget it.
Even the gods of this world did not have that kind of ability.
So, obediently accepting their fate was the sensible choice.
"But... why did you destroy our Qingyun? If the sect is broken apart... many people will die."
Xueqi was still young after all.
She could not help but push back.
Mona turned her head and huffed, "This is destiny. What do you know? If destiny had chosen us to destroy the demonic path, we would have done that too...
Unfortunately, destiny chose the Ghost King side.
It didn't choose you.
You can't blame us for that..."
In truth, even if the mission had been reversed, it would have been fine.
They could have helped Qingyun defeat the Ghost King faction instead.
But luck had not stood on Qingyun's side, and that was why things ended up like this.
Shuiyue took her disciple's hand and shook her head. "Stop talking... What has already happened cannot be changed. Even if that god had not intervened, our ending would not have been very good anyway."
Once she calmed down, she thought about many things.
If Raiden and Hua Sanli and the others had not acted, what would the result have been?
Her uncle-master might have been able to force the Ghost King Sect back, but Qingyun Sect itself would still have been badly weakened.
Things would only have been a little better than they were now.
Just a little.
In the end, the three of them were sent to the library.
Mona pointed to a row of books and said, "These are some histories of Teyvat. Read up on Inazuma, Mondstadt, and Liyue. As for where you'll settle down...
You all have decent talent.
You can stay here.
But your registration still has to be under one country or another."
"Yes, Lady Mona..."
Biyao answered obediently.
Shuiyue and her disciple also hurried to thank her.
While they were learning about the world, Yae Miko was already expanding things with Raiden Shogun.
In the sea near Araumi, huge stretches of mountain were falling from the sky.
All of them had been taken from the Qingyun world.
Every mountain had its own unique features.
And they were full of spiritual energy.
"Mm... that's already the sixth peak. My idea really was right. Bringing these mountains over can help expand our Inazuma.
That way we'll have more land in the future.
Pretty great, right...?"
"Mm, your idea is very good. These mountain ranges are excellent..."
Raiden Shogun released another mountain and placed it near the one beside it.
Slowly, another mountain range appeared near Ritou.
After that, they just needed to keep excavating large amounts of mountain from the Inuyasha world to gradually fill this area in.
There was a saying: no matter how deep the sea was, if you worked hard enough, you could always fill it.
By now, Narukami Island had already expanded by twenty percent.
Large stretches of rock and new land had appeared around the island.
All of it had been dug from the mountain ranges of the Inuyasha world.
Those idle demons and the slaves were all sent to dig mountains.
The places they excavated were used not only to expand Narukami Island.
The area near Kannazuka could also slowly be filled in.
In this way, the land would keep growing.
And in the future, whenever Inazuma wanted to build facilities or grow crops, things would be much more convenient.
As for the Araumi area, it was gradually turning into Inazuma's sacred cultivation ground.
With the land expansion as well, the scenery there had become no worse than anywhere else.
Now that many spiritual mountains had been added, the whole place was gradually gaining that xianxia feel.
"How about throwing that Water Qilin guy here as a guard?"
"Sure. But that big guy only has abundant spiritual energy. In terms of strength, he still can't compare to Stormterror."
"True... We need to find someone to train that brute. If he wants food, then he needs to be put to work. If he just sleeps around every day, we'll skin him, strip him to the bone, and turn him straight into materials."
"You... I'm not getting involved in this. You and Su Han can work it out. I'm heading back first..."
"Mm-hmm."
After seeing Raiden Shogun leave, Yae Miko called out to the soldiers.
"You saw that, right? The mountain ranges are already laid out. Next, we need to transport the rocks with even greater force.
If the explosives are not enough, then dig channels directly.
I hope you can connect this entire area within half a month."
"Yes, Lady Guji..."
The soldiers knew there was work to do, and excitement appeared on their faces.
