In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

The traveler and Falgar recounted the situation in Mondstadt, and Abedor and Durin also arrived, officially commencing the war council.

Falgar also gave everyone a general overview of the current situation.

"That's basically the situation. The Wild Hunt, now without the Moon Hunters' command, has suddenly revived and launched attacks in multiple locations."

According to information from the Frostmoon Children and the Secret Chamber, there has been no unusual activity in the space where the Moon Hunters reside; we are facing a completely new enemy.

Inev added a comment.

"Current situation summary: So, the one currently leading the Wild Hunt is that individual who looks like the alpha wolf? Andrius, the Lord of the North Wind..."

"To be precise, it's another will that has taken control of the former demon god, the Bloodstained Knight Roland?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I don't understand yet. That Roland... wasn't he a Mondstadt person from 500 years ago?"

Yakoda was completely confused.

"How is this related to the demon god from 1000 years ago and the Wild Hunt now?"

"Let us explain this part."

Aberdo picked up the conversation.

Have you ever heard of compensation? When the functions of an organism are impaired, its accessory tissues will change to make up for the damage.

Just as the function of the other kidney is strengthened after one kidney is damaged, collateral circulation becomes more active when a main artery is blocked.

After the Wild Hunt lost their leader, the Abyss, flowing with the memories of the ley lines, once again conjured up the most suitable leader for this moment: the reflection of the Bloodstained Knight Roland.

"So that wasn't the real Roland, but a mimicry of the Abyss?"

Dulin nodded.

"Yes, but even the strongest compensation cannot compare to the original thing."

Neither Rael's overwhelming power nor his ability to impersonate others could be replicated in the reflection.

Therefore, the Abyss also utilized the connection between Roland and the North Wind to compensate for its lack of power.

"That reflection eroded and controlled the North Wind Demon that slept near Lake Anvatinil, eventually manifesting as the giant beast we see."

But why the Abyss chose, and was able to choose, Roland as its impersonator remains unclear to us.

"Ha, perhaps he had some entanglement with Nordkal or the Abyss while wandering around Teyvat? Let's leave those things for the future."

Falgar temporarily put the matter to rest.

Cetalari, gazing at the sky, looked at Mavica.

"Mavika, you said that in the final battle between Nata and the Abyss, what you saw was the Abyss power disguised as the Fire Dragon King Shulotl."

"Yes, that's true. The Abyss Mimicry can almost perfectly replicate the Fire Dragon King's full power, or even be stronger."

Without the travelers and the unwavering faith of all the people of Nata, it might have been impossible to defeat it.

Even so, we paid a heavy price to defeat it.

"We ultimately won, so all those sacrifices were worthwhile, although that's just a way of comforting myself."

Because of their long-standing war with the Abyss, the people of Nata are indifferent to life and death, but no one can remain unmoved when they see so many people die in front of them.

Back on the celestial screen, Paimon asked again, "I can understand that part, but what about what you said before about not being able to kill him?"

"Because a dead demon god may be more dangerous than a living one."

According to intelligence gathered by the expeditionary force, the power unleashed upon the fall of any demon god could potentially cause phenomena comparable to natural disasters in the eyes of mortals.

The traveler then thought of the collapsed tower in the Wind Dragon Ruins, and the humans who had been turned into salt pillars in the salt of the earth.

Seeing this, Wendy sighed: "When the tower collapsed back then, if I hadn't accepted that power, everyone would have died in the storm."

"Grandpa, you left behind many demonic remains throughout Liyue because of your excessive killing back then."

"It was indeed my oversight back then. At the end of the Demon God War, I chose to seal them away instead of killing them."

And why are there so many Demon Gods in my Liyue region? Can you say it has nothing to do with you?

"Hey, I didn't say anything."

Zhongli was too lazy to argue with him and continued to look at the sky. In his opinion, the sky was no different from listening to stories or watching plays.

On the sky, Falga continued to recount the dangers of the demon god's remnants.

"The resentment of a demon god after its death will bring endless troubles... Once the remnants of a demon god have stained the earth, they cannot be eradicated even after a thousand years."

The traveler also thought of the evil spirits and karmic burdens on Ba Yun Island and Ta Ba Sha.

Lei Movie now regrets it somewhat. Sasa Yuri's death made her too angry, which led her to directly kill the giant snake Orobas.

So much so that the demonic remnants left behind by the giant serpent Orobas continue to influence those two islands.

Moreover, in a sense, Ah Mao's tragedy also stemmed from her thoughtless stab.

Falgar continued: "The land of Nordkalai has already been ravaged and riddled with holes. If we add the remnants of the demon god to it, it will be a disaster for everyone living here."

"Question: My database does contain records of disasters caused by the remnants of demons... but there also seem to be cases of demons dying naturally."

In Natalya, the changing of the Great Demons has become commonplace, and the other Great Demon of the North who remained in Mondstadt had also experienced death once.

Inev did indeed store a considerable amount of information, but the authenticity of that information could not be guaranteed.

As for the succession of the Nata Demon God, that's a completely different matter. The Nata Fire God was merely a human who inherited the name of the Demon God.

"You asked a good question, Knight of Honor. You mentioned earlier that the King Wolf of Mondstadt asked you to deliver a letter. Now take it out; it will make things clearer."

The traveler took out the greatsword that had been used as a token of his love.

Falgar also drew his sword, and the power of the two greatswords resonated.

"Come, Boreas."

A flash of light, and the entire sky turned into a pure white space again. Borels' body appeared, facing a broken greatsword called Wolf's End.

"This form's lifespan has come to an end, and I'm afraid I can no longer accompany you on your journey."

My soul will fall into a temporary silence, while my power will flow into the earth's veins. This may be the only thing a wolf can do for a human.

Don't be sad for me; this is the destiny I chose.

On the contrary, when and where will you end your wandering?

"Hmph, a bedtime wish? Then sing me another song, the one you always hum in the hotel."

Sure enough, the melody hummed by the wandering knight a thousand years ago then began to play.

The scene then returns to the traveler.

"What was that just now?"

"Oh, you can see that too? Such strong perception, no wonder you are..."

Falgar did not utter the words "the Descendant".
