In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"It's time to execute the final step of the plan, Morax. I don't know if you haven't noticed me or if you don't take me seriously, but now, I won't give you any more time to react. Prepare to face the most violent storm in history with this land."

......

Time flies like water, and soon half a year has passed. Liyue has been relatively peaceful since the Lantern Festival ended, and no large-scale disasters have occurred in the past six months.

Because Liyue has been so peaceful lately, they have gradually forgotten about the great hero who helped Liyue Harbor defeat the demon god, namely Suzumiya Yu.

During the past six months, Suzumiya Yuu has rarely appeared in people's sight. Even Ke Qing rarely sees him because she can't find him every time she goes to look for him and doesn't know what he is doing.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji has been showing more activity in Liyue recently, with the most frequent locations being the South Gate and the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Whether by coincidence or not, these two places respectively seal away the Dragon King Ruotu and the demon gods who were defeated by the Rock King Emperor.

The Liyue Seven Stars did send the Thousand Rock Army to search for Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts, but in most cases, the entire army was wiped out. Occasionally, someone would escape back, claiming that they were saved by Yuu Suzumiya when they were on the verge of death.

Hearing this, Keqing understood why she hadn't seen Suzumiya Yuu lately; he had gone off alone to investigate Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts.

They clearly agreed to act together, but now? Ryoumi Yu is acting like a lone wolf, always going it alone. If something happens to her one day, probably no one will even notice.

For some reason, as Muzan Kibutsuji's activities in Liyue have become increasingly rampant recently, a sense of unease suddenly settled over Keqing's heart, as if something big was about to happen.

Late that night, a young man appeared at Guyun Pavilion. It was Liang Gongyou. Recently, he had been moving back and forth between Nantianmen and Guyun Pavilion. The sightings of Kibutsuji Muzan in other places were just a smokescreen set up by Rosalin and the others.

The purpose of setting up this illusion was to prevent the Liyue Septim from making one possibility: that all the powerful beings they intended to seal away by the Geo Archon would be released.

That's right, Suzumiya Yuu plans to release the demon gods, including Oser, who are being suppressed under the Guyun Pavilion, and through them, to subject Liyue to an unprecedented catastrophe.

If they can withstand it, then he will go to the South Heavenly Gate and release the Dragon King Ruotu. You can deal with ordinary demons, but can you still deal with a being whose strength is comparable to the Seven Gods?

When Liyue is unable to withstand the Dragon King Ruoduo, Zhongli will inevitably step in and save Liyue from its dire straits one last time as the Geo Archon.

Once both sides are exhausted from the battle, Ryoko Yu will then strike and reap the benefits, killing two birds with one stone.

He had this plan from the very day he arrived in Liyue, but at that time he was not strong enough. As long as Zhongli wanted to, she could find his location and know his thoughts at any time.

But things are different now. With the combat system leveled up to +3, Suzumiya Yu has the ability to confront the Seven Gods head-on, and Zhongli can no longer detect his location.

Therefore, even though he frequently frequented the South Heavenly Gate and the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, Zhongli would never have discovered or imagined that he would do such a thing in order to achieve final victory.

"Ausel isn't the only demon suppressed beneath the Lonely Cloud Pavilion. So, can my blood truly revive them all?"

Liang Gongyou stood by the sea, holding a jade bottle in his hand. He loosened the stopper of the bottle, and an extreme energy immediately emanated from it. Any ordinary monster that came into contact with it would instantly have its power multiply.

This is the compressed essence blood that Ryou has extracted over the past six months. The energy contained in each drop of essence blood is comparable to the energy of all the blood in his body.

Chapter 244 The Eve of the Storm

Red gaseous energy continuously flowed from the jade bottle. Ryou brought her nose close and then took a deep, blissful inhalation.

If this energy hadn't come from his own body, he would have drunk it all without hesitation, because this kind of thing would be of great help to him. Even Rosalyn and the others would have their strength multiplied after consuming a drop of essence blood.

Suzumiya Yuya did give each of them a drop, but that was already the limit. If he gave them any more, it probably wouldn't be enough to help him awaken the sleeping demons.

Without further hesitation, Liang Gongyou poured the essence blood from the jade bottle into the seawater. To be on the safe side, he only poured out half a bottle, while the remaining half was prepared for the Dragon King Ruoduo, because its power far surpassed that of these demon gods.

Awakening it would certainly cause great trouble for Liyue and Zhongli, but before that, let's let the demons under Guyun Pavilion test the waters first. After all, he doesn't know just how powerful the Seven Stars of Liyue are now.

He was truly shocked by the power Ningguang displayed during his battle with Ba Che. If the armed forces of the Jade Pavilion had been any stronger, they might have been able to threaten him back then.

However, that was only at the time. For him now, neither the Jade Pavilion nor the immortals are anything to fear. Only a powerhouse at the level of a demon god can earn his respect.

As the red essence blood dripped into the seawater, a vast amount of energy immediately poured out.

Deep in the sea, majestic auras slowly emerged. They, who had been sealed away for so long, opened their eyes, coveting the power emanating from the sea. If they were not sealed by the giant rock spear, they would have rushed forward to fight for it without hesitation.

Soon, the energy floating on the sea surface gradually sank to the seabed. Even though there was nothing on the seabed, the energy was gradually disappearing, as if it were being absorbed by something, which was extremely strange.

At the same time, the atmosphere between heaven and earth gradually began to become oppressive, and an atmosphere of unease and fear immediately swept out, which was felt by the residents of Liyue Harbor in just a moment.

At this moment, just as dawn was breaking, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, its fiery rays shining upon the silent earth, bringing everything back to life and making it vibrant with vitality.

But this scene didn't last long. One after another, dark clouds appeared, blotting out the sun. The sun, which had just risen, was completely swallowed up by the thunderstorm.

"What's going on?" Inside the Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang, who was handling official business, was suddenly startled. She stood up, ignoring the secretary's doubts behind her, and went straight to the outside of the Qunyu Pavilion.

“Guyun Pavilion…” Upon arriving outside Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang’s gaze immediately locked onto the direction of Guyun Pavilion. Even as a mortal, she could instantly sense where the source of the change was coming from.

"Could it be that someone has released the sealed demon god again?" Ningguang muttered to herself, resting her chin on her hand. Soon, a sense of unease crept into her heart.

Before this, she had a feeling that a huge catastrophe was about to occur in Liyue, and that this catastrophe was something that Liyue, which had just entered the era of human rule, could not withstand.

"Go, inform the other six Seven Stars to come to the Jade Pavilion for a meeting. Also, have the Thousand Rock Army in the entire city on high alert, ready for a desperate battle at any time." With that, Ningguang turned and returned to the Jade Pavilion.

She needs to prepare before the cataclysm arrives. The Jade Pavilion is Liyue Harbor's greatest weapon right now, and only it can withstand the attack of the Demon God.

However, she had oversimplified things. The demon god sealed beneath the Lonely Cloud Pavilion could indeed revive, and the armed forces currently deployed by the Jade Pavilion could indeed resist the demon god.

But no one said that there was only one demon god who broke the seal this time...

......

"He's really impatient. I wonder how many demon gods my essence blood can break free of their seal? Or... awaken them all without exception. If that happens, it probably won't be difficult to flatten Liyue."

The roars of the demons echoed from the depths of the sea. A slight smile curved the corners of Ryou's lips. He was curious about what kind of state the demons' iron hooves would take to trample Liyue before the Geo God would be willing to make a move.

"Or do you want to rely on the immortals to help the Seven Stars of Liyue?" Liang Gongyou said, turning his gaze to the distance, towards the direction of Jueyun.

"However, I was prepared. Familiars are not a privilege of gods."

At this moment, atop a majestic mountain peak in the Cloud Realm, four powerful figures stood, gazing ahead. Far away from them, the immortals were preparing to head to the Cloud Sea to investigate the situation.

When the demons beneath Lonely Cloud Pavilion underwent an anomaly, they sensed it immediately and gathered to set off. However, they overlooked one thing: someone had already made preparations to deal with them.

"Immortals... I've heard of them before and always wanted to spar with them to hone my swordsmanship, but unfortunately, Lord Muzan forbade me to have any contact with them. Now, I finally have this opportunity."

Holding a katana, Wu Ye's expression was slightly excited. As someone who had always pursued the ultimate martial arts skills, he was finally able to fight against a strong opponent.

The words "Upper Moon" are engraved on his left eye and "Lu" on his right eye, representing his identity as the Lu of the Upper Moon. Even as the weakest Upper Moon, he now possesses the ability to arm wrestle with immortals.

“To fight that ancient god, in the past few hundred years, only Lord Muzan has been qualified to do so.” Udagawa stood to the side, his personality and thoughts unchanged even though several years had passed since he became a demon.

The memories of the past may have gradually faded, but the white-haired boy has never disappeared from his memory.

Udagawa has the characters "上弦" (Upper Moon) carved on his right eye and "伍" (Fifth Moon) carved on his left eye, representing his identity as the Fifth Upper Moon.

Xiao stood a little further away from them. Tormented by Suzumiya Yu's curse, he had long forgotten what he had done as a guardian yaksha. The only thing he remembered was the memory of being tormented by that demon god.

The words "Upper Moon" are carved on Xiao's right eye, and "Two" is carved on his left eye, representing his identity as the second Upper Moon.

"Lord Muzan... has finally given me a chance to show off, hehehehe..." Rosalyn covered her cheeks with her hands, her face flushed, and when she said the words "Lord Muzan," her eyes showed extreme reverence.

This action drew the attention of Wu Ye and the other two. They wanted to say something to this guy whose heart only held Suzumiya Yui, but in the end, they remained silent.

Rosalyn has the words "Upper Moon" carved on her left eye and "One" on her right eye, which represents her identity as Upper Moon One, the strongest Upper Moon.

Chapter 245 The Storm Arrives

Rosalyn is now incredibly powerful. To win Yui Suzumiya's heart, she is the most diligent of all the Upper Moons. No matter who the target is, she will devour them without hesitation, not even sparing children or the elderly.

This outrageous behavior stemmed entirely from her twisted worship of Ryou Miyabi. Because Ryou Miyabi admired subordinates who strived to become stronger, Rosalin was driven to such a frenzied desire to become stronger.

She has obtained the most blood among all the Upper Moons. Because she has no bottom line in her actions, she is naturally disliked by the other five, especially Udagawa.

Udagawa never bullies the weak, and when he encounters a worthy opponent, he chooses to bury them rather than eat them. This results in him being the slowest to improve his strength among all the Upper Moons.

Even so, he was able to maintain his position as Upper Moon Five. No matter how hard Wuye tried to catch up, it was difficult for him to defeat him in the battle of the shifting positions. This was all because he did not have the Eye of God.

The Upper Moon demons generally don't get along well. Rosalyn and Xiao are isolated, and Uya is not good with words and never associates with them. Udagawa and Toma have a relatively good relationship, since they knew each other before they became demons.

Kujo Sara treated everyone except Rosalyn with neutrality because, before becoming a demon, she was a loyal and righteous person who never bullied the weak, and she was slightly more lenient towards Udagawa.

In short, Rosalind and Xiao's positions among the Upper Moons are extremely awkward. However, it cannot be denied that Rosalind is able to defeat the remaining five Upper Moons on her own, while Xiao is able to defeat the other four Upper Moons on his own.

Although the two were isolated, their strength was undeniable, so they didn't care what the others thought of them.

Intercepting the immortals heading to Liyue Harbor to provide support would be an easy task for the four of them.

If immortals encounter them, they shouldn't think about how many they can kill, but rather how many they can escape.

......

"Oh dear, I observed the sky last night, and today's weather was supposed to be sunny. How did it suddenly turn into a cloudy day? It looks like it's going to rain. I need to hurry back and bring in the laundry."

On the main street of Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao skipped along, with Zhong Li beside him, who had just finished listening to a storyteller and was about to head back.

At this moment, Zhongli crossed his arms and closed his eyes slightly, as if he were recuperating. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance. Above the clouds, countless lightning bolts surged, making people feel uneasy.

Zhong Li's expression changed slightly, but Hu Tao, who was standing next to him, did not notice it.

"This day has finally come." Zhong Li was not surprised by the impending storm, or rather, he had expected it all along. He was just a little surprised that this day had come so soon.

With Liyue's current power, it's impossible to withstand this catastrophe. It seems that the last chance he owed as the Geo Archon to save Liyue is now going to be repaid.

The next second, the ground began to shake violently. The once cheerful streets of Liyue Harbor were instantly shrouded in panic and fear. Pedestrians became restless, and the Thousand Rock Army had no idea what was happening.

"Quick...look! What's that!" Someone in the crowd shouted. When everyone looked over, they were shocked to find that a huge cloud vortex had appeared somewhere on the top of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Beneath the whirlpool, the once enormous Lonely Cloud Pavilion was gradually collapsing and crumbling, with scattered rubble sinking to the seabed. A huge figure then emerged from the sea surface in the next moment.

That is the vortex demon god Oser. This is not the first time the residents of Liyue Harbor have seen it. Several years ago, not long after the passing of the Geo Archon, it also appeared. However, on that occasion, it was sealed away by the Liyue Septim along with a blond traveler.

But this time, who will come to save them?

Everyone pinned their hopes on the great hero who had recently defeated the demon god. Suzumiya Yu, the instigator of everything, had now become the hope of countless people. How ironic!

As for Suzumiya Yuu himself, due to the collapse of Guyun Pavilion, he had arrived at the distant coast early on. It was not far from Liyue Harbor, but in the chaos, no one could notice him.

Suzumiya Yu could already imagine Keqing frantically searching for him in Liyue Harbor, because only he possessed the power to resist the Demon God. Even if the Seven Stars joined forces, they could only temporarily restrain Oser at most. To defeat it? That was simply a pipe dream.

As for the immortals... through Rosalind and the others' first-person perspective, Suzumiya Yu is enjoying the battle between the two sides.

......

"The Demon-Suppressing Nuo Dance!"

Xiao, wearing a Yaksha mask, is currently fighting against his former sage companion. Since his memories as a guardian Yaksha have been almost completely erased by Suzumiya Yu, he shows no mercy despite the past.

"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, why did you betray Liyue?" In his crane form, the True Lord of Lishui and Dieshan looked at the Dharma Protector Yaksha he once respected, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.

He couldn't fathom why Xiao had betrayed Liyue and stood on the same side as Muzan Kibutsuji. In their minds, Xiao should have been the most respectful immortal to the Rock Lord.

"No need for words, just fight me." After saying that, Xiao thrust forward with the He Pu Yuan in the next second. The tip of the spear was wrapped in powerful wind element energy, and the next second, it directly pierced through the wings of the True Monarch of the Water and Mountain.

At the same time, another immortal launched a surprise attack on him from the side, but it was easily blocked.
