Arya continued, picking up where Canon left off: "Gradually, we discovered that he was showing an intention to transform and dominate the world."

"Didn't you stop him?"

Columbia asked, "Logically speaking, the Goddess of March, as the administrator of Teyvat set up by the Dragon King Nibelungen, should be stopping the natural order at this time."

"No, his rules contain an order that the Dragon Aspects never gave us. We want to know if this order is good or bad for Teyvat?"

The Rainbow Moon Goddess Sanada showed a displeased expression this time.

"At least Canon and I want to know if Sannada is against it."

"Later we discovered that this ruler of the heavens had a paranoid hostility, or rather, fear, towards the pursuit of power by living beings."

So much so that he would unleash heavenly nails, representing his own power, to punish the creatures on earth.

"That goes far beyond the scope of punishment."

Sannada couldn't help but say that she had never been friendly towards Tenri.

To put it bluntly, Sannada was imprisoned in the Moon Prison largely because she was tricked by her two older sisters.

Arya continued, "Just as we were about to take action, the Dragon King Nibelungen returned."

"The Battle of Funeral Flames!"

"So that's how this war was named in later generations?"

So, who won in the end?

Sannada hurriedly asked Columbia.

"As far as I know, the Heavenly Principle won a Pyrrhic victory in the war. It ultimately remained in Teyvat to continue its rule. And the primordial lord, the Dragon King Nibelungen, perished as a result."

Upon hearing that the Dragon King Nibelungen was the one who ultimately lost, Sannada's expression was quite complex.

"And what about the moon? Will there still be three moons in the sky in later generations?"

Upon hearing this question, Columbia fell silent.

At this moment, Yakoda and Nefer were also watching the exchange between Columbia and the Goddess of March on the sky.

The two of them are considered to be quite familiar with Columbia University.

"So this is how Miss Columbia met the Goddess of March. Although I've heard Miss Columbia tell me about it, seeing it with my own eyes is a completely different experience."

At this point, the lie has lost its meaning, yet reality is too cruel.

Based on our knowledge of history, both the Frost Moon Goddess and the Moon Goddess accepted their fate.

On the contrary, it was the youngest Rainbow Moon Goddess, Sanada, who was bewitched by the abyss, and her fate was even more tragic.

"Boss, is it really impossible to change history?"

"Who knows? At least we mortals can't do it. Even the seven rulers of the mortal world probably can't reach that level."

Perhaps Istar, one of the Four Shadows of Heaven and the Ruler of Time, truly possesses the power to rewrite history.

The World Tree's power can also alter history, but the way it does so is merely by falsifying memories.

Changing what happened in the past and truly altering what happened in the past are two completely different concepts.

On the celestial screen, Arya comforted Columbia, saying, "You don't need to worry, Columbia. We are already the twilight of an old era, and we are well prepared for it."

Columbia lowered her head and spoke the cruel reality.

"Only the Frosty Moon remains in the sky, but even the Frosty Moon has been cast into the false heaven by the principles of Heaven."

Both Hengyue and Hongyue have been shattered in the war…

"As expected, we ultimately could not escape death."

"Sannata..."

Arya didn't know how to comfort her sister at that moment.

Columbia then said, "Aren't you still...?"

"The moon goddess cannot live without her moon, Columbia, you should understand that too."

Columbia understood this perfectly well; the mere illusion of the heavens, which had severed the connection between Frostmoon and Teyvat, had nearly caused her to vanish.

Moreover, the shattering of the moon would be an absolutely devastating blow to the moon goddess.

Canon continued explaining to Columbia, "In this lunar palace, although our divine bodies still exist, if our moon were to shatter..."

"The moment we leave this place, our divine bodies will also dissipate."

Sannada added the second half of the sentence.

"Feel sorry!"

"You don't need to apologize to us, my dear sister."

Arya said gently.

"In fact, we are the ones who should apologize to the world if we had made a decision sooner instead of arguing with each other."

"Then we shouldn't wallow in self-pity now, but rather think about how to help our lovely little sister."

Canon looked at Columbia and said solemnly.

At this moment, Ouyang Kong was also thinking about something: what would have happened if the Goddess of March had followed Nibelung and defied the laws of nature?

Or to put it more radically, what would happen to Teyvat if Tenri Fanes lost and Nibelungen the Dragon King won?

Ouyang Kong posed this question to Naxida, the Great Tree King, and Fucarus.

They were all lost in thought: if there really were such an "if" scenario, would Teyvat be better or worse?

Ouyang Kong himself did not think that it was a good thing for Teyvat that the Dragon King Nibelungen defeated Tenryufanes.

After all, the abyssal power emanating from Nibelungen, the Dragon King, is deadly to Teyvat.

Even now, Teyvat still faces the threat of the Abyss, and countless tragedies are caused by the dark power of the Abyss.

Even among the original seven gods, the Great Tree King, Ergolia, and Raiden Shin all perished under the eruption of the power of the abyss.


At this moment, the Great Tree King also sighed.

"Alas! Although the laws of nature are cruel, if Nibelungen, the Dragon King, had truly won the War of the Dead, Teyvat would probably no longer exist."

"Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed the truth. In a practical sense, the laws of nature protected Teyvat."

The "eggshell" created by Tenri blocked the arrival of the abyss's dark power.

Fukaros said the same thing. In fact, it is clear to everyone that when the Dragon King Nibelungen was corrupted by the dark power of the abyss in the universe, he could not bring about a bright future.

Narcida then said with a firm gaze, "The laws of nature protect Teyvat, but they also limit it. When the Abyss shatters the 'Eggshell,' Teyvat's end will come."

Therefore, some people have now raised the banner of rebellion against the laws of nature. What they are truly rebelling against is not the laws of nature, but rather their desire to find a future for Teyvat.

"Yes, Nasita, you're right. The story isn't over yet. Future heroes need the support of those in the present."

Ouyang Kong looked towards the sky again, where the Goddess of March was already planning to do everything in her power to help Colombia.
