I'm in the Teyvat running group

"Before that, shouldn't we eliminate the Dead Zone first?" Ying asked with some doubt. "If we concentrate our current capabilities, we should be able to completely wipe out the Dead Zone within a year..."

“That’s true. However, the Dead Zone isn’t that simple either. At least the core Karssard’s Divine Spell still needs to be deciphered. Fortunately, I have the ability to do so now.” Yunxiu shrugged and said with some helplessness, “Deciphering the Reversal Spell will most likely attract the attention of the Nibelungs, but that’s not a problem for me.”

The two cast a few more spells to record some information about the place, and then returned along the same route, swimming almost across the outer edge of the False Heaven before finally returning to Teyvat along the Dark Outer Sea.

After resting at the Shefeng Temple for two days, Yunxiu finally returned to Wanmintang.

As soon as I entered, I saw Anya, Zhongli, and the Ice Queen already waiting there.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor." Yunxiu didn't waste any words, but directly took out the bow and several arrows from her own plane and handed them to the Ice Queen: "This should have been left behind by the White Sand Emperor. This confirms that his battle in Poheyura must have been extremely fierce..."

Zhongli touched the weapon, then sighed with a sense of loss.

He had seen this thing before. The White Sand Emperor used it when he was conquering demons from all sides, using a huge spear as a bow and arrow, which almost perfectly showed the White Sand Emperor's personality.

Especially during the final conquest, it wouldn't be surprising if this thing killed a demon god with a single shot.

"Thank you..." The Queen was surprised, but saddened as she put away the weapon and bow. However, she quickly picked them up again and handed them to Zhongli: "Your Majesty, could you please contact the Rock Dragon King to repair this weapon for me? I am willing to pay a sufficient price."

“This is not a big deal. As for the cost… let Yunxiu’s men discuss it. I will repair it for you first.” Zhongli took the weapon, shook his head, and sighed, “I just didn’t expect that the White Sand Emperor would leave this here. He was clearly still alive for a while.”

Zhongli, armed with weapons, quickly left with the Ice Queen.

Before leaving, Zhongli instructed Yunxiu that since there were still six or seven years left until the end of the twenty-year period, there was no need to rush. All that was needed was to resolve the matter completely before the very last moment.

Yunxiu knew that her father didn't want to put too much pressure on her, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to accept it. In other words, the Abyss would most likely start racing against time with her.

Zhongli was naturally aware of this, but he was confident that he could hold off these matters for the next twenty years. This confidence was a kind of confidence from the old father, Zhongli, but it was not a reason for him to be lazy.

After resting at home for a night, Yunxiu, Yanfei, and Jiheng wrote out invitations by hand early the next morning, asking Qiliangliang to make a trip to invite the key figures from the seven kingdoms to their place.

Each country's high-ranking officials had teleportation arrays, but many things still needed to be prepared. So, it wasn't until the morning of the third day that the representatives of the seven countries finally gathered at Yunxiu's house. Ningguang from Liyue, Maple Leaf from Inazuma, Elhesen from Sumeru, Iansan from Nata, Clarin from Fontaine, Kaeya from Mondstadt, and Semyon from Winter.

When they entered the "divine kingdom" in the backyard of the Hall of Ten Thousand People, they were initially extremely surprised, but when they saw Yunxiu begin to show the information she brought back from Boheyula, their surprise quickly turned into solemnity.

"Everyone, next, we're going to talk about the most important thing." Yunxiu smiled and looked at the group, saying, "Next, we're going to fight the final battle of Teyvat—the kind that's ten times bigger than the flood control war."

"I can state in advance that we can choose the battlefield for the flood discharge war, but this time, there will most likely be a different battlefield, and the main battlefield has already been determined, which is the sea between Inazuma, Nata, and Mondstadt, around that small island."

"At the same time, there are multiple battlefields in space, on the moon, and in the dead zone. This is a war that truly concerns the future of Teyvat... Of course, war is only half of the conditions for victory."

The other half, of course, was the three corpses merging into one, and then taking down Phanes...

But that's something Yunxiu should think about herself.

Chapter 528 Seven Gods Appear to Settle the Storm

“During the last flood control battle, Liyue undertook most of the production and war preparation work. At that time, Liyue was capable of winning on its own.” Yunxiu didn’t mince words and pointed this out from the very beginning.

"As for this war, Liyue still has the capability... but the world after this will definitely be different from before, so whether we can move towards a new world depends on the joint efforts of all countries." Yunxiu glanced at the high-ranking officials around her: "The national strength of each country has also changed in the past ten years, so we will reconsider the issue of share in this war."

He had Yan Fei send several documents to the representatives of the participating countries, and then indicated that they could begin.

This document was prepared in advance by him, Yanfei, and several wives, and was mainly adjusted based on the current situation in various Teyvat countries.

Liyue remains the nation with the strongest industrial capabilities, accounting for almost half of Teyvat's industrial production. However, this does not mean that other nations lack their own unique industries; Inazuma's computing power and energy remain key factors.

After all, you can't possibly equip every soldier with an artificial demon core. The most reasonable approach is to use the artificial demon core to charge the energy crystals and distribute them to each soldier, especially during long-term combat, as the energy crystals can also ensure the soldiers' protection in necessary situations.

After the space elevator was built, Sumeru gradually began to develop its own navy, which is now the second largest navy in Teyvat and is slightly stronger than Fontaine.

Winter has been deeply involved in precision machining and space manufacturing. Many of the components for the new generation of Qunyuge come from Winter. Fontaine, on the other hand, has taken advantage of its Lake Fontaine to the extreme in the cultivation of specialty crops. Now, more than 70% of the specialty crops in Teyvat are grown in Fontaine.

Mondstadt and Natas possess the two best lands in Teyvat, where they grow all sorts of crops and also handle most of the logistical work.

The seven kingdoms can only achieve their strongest fighting power when they unite. Moreover, since the flood discharge war, Yunxiu has been deliberately promoting these things. The manufacturing and products of each country have been standardized and universalized. For example, most of the original Qunyu Pavilion have been renamed and transferred to other countries.

Although it's not free, it has led to a continuous improvement in the combat power of various countries. As for Liyue itself, the second generation of the Jade Pavilion is at least ten times stronger than the first generation.

Even the revamped first-generation product cannot compare to the second generation.

Of course, for the other countries in Teyvat... even the first generation is already advanced enough.

“Inazuma has no objection to this. Our only question is, what is the biggest difference between this and the flood discharge?” Kujo Sara asked with some doubt after reading all the information. “If we’re just talking about fighting a war, then it seems unnecessary to have such a large-scale operation, even if it’s much larger than the flood discharge.”

“Zhi Dong has no objection, but Zhi Dong also wants to ask this question…” The burly man named Xie Miao patted the document and spoke calmly: “The Fools have been completely reorganized… We believe that Zhi Dong is also capable of winning a war similar to the flood discharge back then, although I was just a captain at the time.”

Representatives from other countries also cast questioning glances.

Yunxiu was somewhat helpless. He didn't really want to say too much, but at this stage, it was obviously impossible not to release some information.

“Alright…we have to start this from six thousand years ago…” Yunxiu flicked his finger, and some of the information he had seen from Boheyura was revealed one by one.

"The War of the Burial Fire was not a simple war. In fact, the most crucial part of that war was the confrontation between the Abyss and Order. In that era, there was also an eruption rift in the Abyss, namely Poheyura."

"The entrance to Poheyura is located beneath Musk Reef, where the army of the Cocoon and the Abyss is hidden. Their commander is the Nibelungen, the demonic dragon that the Seven Gods defeated in the heavens six thousand years ago. That was also a terrifying war." Yunxiu pulled his hand, and the part of the Zhongbei Prayer Song Collection was also released by him, of course, the part related to himself was hidden.

"The first angel, Koitar, sealed Boheyura, buying the world thousands of years. After that, the seal was reinforced layer by layer, but the number of abysses in the False Heaven did not decrease, and the pressure grew greater and greater, which led to the flooding more than a decade ago..."

"So, this time we're going to eradicate Boheyura's monster army?" Ianshan asked, arms crossed. "After this matter is resolved, will the problem of the False Heaven be completely solved, and will things change in the future?"

“I’m sorry, I can’t give you an answer.” Yunxiu shook her head: “But what I can say for sure is that we have reached a point where we have no choice but to fight. As time goes by, the abyss continues to grow. Even if we can use a method similar to flood discharge, we may still have to fight once a year, then once every six months, then once a month… it will be endless.”

"You mean, the sooner the better, ideally before the Abyss completely controls the world, we should win this war." Maple Leaf picked up a document: "So, this war is mainly divided into several battlefields. Space is mainly for purification, and internally, to open the gates of Poheyura, we also need a demigod team to clean up the internal forces?"

“Yes, but I will lead the team myself.” Yunxiu nodded. No one else could truly take on this responsibility except him.

The representatives from various countries fell silent, not because of the urgency of the matter or whether they could agree to it, but because the matter itself was beyond their expectations.

In terms of sheer strength, various countries have gradually begun to mobilize and prepare in recent years. Liyue has built nearly ten second-generation Jade Pavilion ships, while other countries have built nearly twenty first-generation ships and replicas combined. Naturally, there are also numerous other preparations underway.

As long as war doesn't break out in full force, everyone will have a sense of complacency, which is an inevitable mindset because very few people actually like fighting.

“I want to clarify one point: Liyue still has the ability to win this war. I am not saying this as Yunxiu, but as the sole heir of the Geo Archon, the son of the Geo Archon.” Yunxiu put several documents back on the table: “Even if the Seven Stars of Liyue disagree, the Archon will immediately issue a divine decree announcing that I have inherited the second Geo Archon, and Liyue will immediately enter a state of full-scale war.”

"The Seven Stars of Liyue, the Moonsea Pavilion, the Thousand Rock Army, and all the people of Liyue will support Lord Yunxiu." Ningguang stood up and said resolutely, "In this time of life and death, no one can stand idly by!"

Yunxiu and Ningguang exchanged a satisfied glance. This was something they had discussed and agreed upon beforehand. The purpose of saying this was to put pressure on the other six countries.

However, when the crucial moment arrives, the Emperor will indeed issue this divine decree, and Yunxiu will not hesitate to take over and command Liyue to win this final battle.

However, it would be best if Seven Stars agreed, as it was impossible for me to replace Seven Stars and everyone in Yuehaiting instantly, even if I used cheat codes.

Even if they have several top-seven stars in their family, they still have more important things to do.

Even Ji Heng, as the former Tianxuan, although she has retired, would she stand idly by and step in to help when it comes to the crucial moment?

This is impossible. Even setting aside the fact that Yunxiu himself is a nation, no different from Liyue, even Jiheng himself could not remain indifferent to the start of a war.

The same applies to characters like Ying, Ayaka Kamisato, and Navia. Neither their positions nor their own considerations would allow them to stand idly by in the final battle.

This also applies to their own relatives, including Tian Shu and Hui Xin.

The other representatives exchanged glances. Clarinde hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when a figure appeared behind her.

"Fukaros, the Water Goddess of Fontaine, supports the start of the war." Furina placed her hand on Clarinde's shoulder: "Ultimate justice will be served through a just war!"

"Nata Vulcan Hebrim, support the start of the war!" Kinich's figure appeared in the conference room at some point, with the pixel dragon beside him, but even he did not speak.

"Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, supports the start of the war." Venti transformed into a gentle breeze and landed beside Kaeya. Unusually, he wasn't holding a wine glass in his hand, but rather a peculiar lyre—the very one he had carried when he and his friends overthrew the Lone King in the Tower.

"King Buyer of the Sumeru Tree supports the start of the war." A phantom light and shadow coalesced into a grass-green figure, holding a strange halo in her hand. It was a virtual World Tree with a completely different aura.

"Barnabas, the Winter God of Ice, supports the start of the war." The Ice Queen's appearance was the most peculiar. A cold wind blew in through the window, and all the ice shards condensed into a white-haired figure. She stood quietly beside the other gods, keeping a slight distance.

"Inazuma Raijin Baal, support the start of the war." A bolt of lightning struck down, and a figure in a kimono stood beside Yunxiu. Behind her was a shadow, and behind the shadow were six strange halos.

"Of course, the Witches' Guild will be there too!" Alice appeared through space with Nicole. Nicole chuckled, her voice echoing in everyone's minds.

"I come representing the angels. We lost the War of the Dead, the destruction of Kanria didn't help, and even the War of the Flood only offered a tiny bit of assistance. How could we miss this war? Teyvat is also our home!"

"The Dragon King will also participate." Another large door appeared from the other side, and a figure covered in rock armor walked in: "Old Lei is almost recovered, it would be a shame not to fight him!"

Behind him stood Navelette and Tvalin, one on each side of him, silent but with resolute expressions.

And just as everyone was looking on expectantly, a towering figure finally appeared behind Yunxiu. He was wearing golden armor, an emperor's crown on his head, and a rock spear in his hand.

"As Zhongli, the God of Contracts, I hereby declare... the war has officially begun!"

Chapter 529 The Army Formations Gathered Amidst Raging Waves

A heavy Lingming vehicle drove across the wilderness of Guili Plain and came to a steady stop next to the Qianyan Army's encampment.

Chen Xiaoqun jumped out of the car, casually pressed a few buttons, and the array behind him gently lifted a huge box and placed it on the ground.

A squad of Thousand Rock Army soldiers rushed out, led by a tall, powerful young man whose aura clearly indicated he was at the high-level of the Legendary rank. He smiled at his friend and said, "So, it's your turn to deliver the goods today?"

"Brother Jialin, are you stationed here?" Chen Xiaoqun looked curiously into the military camp. "It seems like it's a major uniform change recently. Can I go in and take a look?"

“If your dad lets you in, then I can; if he doesn’t, then I can’t.” Ye Jialin patted the large box. “If you want to see, why didn’t you join the Thousand Rock Army back then? Your dad was a commander of a strike group during the flood control war, and I haven’t even been promoted to that position yet…”

"Qianyan Army is a bit too boring. I'd much rather travel around delivering things like my uncle."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that, but it is indeed a costume change. You should be able to see it in a while."

Chen Xiaoqun didn't ask any more questions and quickly drove away in his Lingming vehicle, while Ye Jialin and a team of Qianyan soldiers carried the large box back to the camp.

After finding a sufficiently spacious open space, they opened the box. Once the space expansion formation was deactivated, a large amount of equipment was neatly arranged in the training ground of the base.

Before them appeared a peculiar group of mechs, which looked like a hybrid of Lingmingji and mechs. The chassis was not Lingmingji wheels, but four tracks, and the turrets on top were new models of Guizhongji. There was no pilot entrance, and the size was not very large.

“This is a new model of the frontline powered mech. This one is the assault type, operated by a single person.” He looked at another mech that carried a huge turret and was significantly larger in size and said, “That one over there is the fire support type. Let me see… it should be operated by four people.”

"120 assault units, 30 firepower units, 20 support units, 10 control units..." Another captain from the Chiyan Army counted the numbers: "Just enough to equip our entire squad. The old models will be dismantled according to regulations, and the materials will be broken down on-site and awaited recycling."

"Commander Liu, you can arrange these things. What war zones have we been assigned to?" Ye Jialin waved his hand and opened the Spirit Realm Terminal in his hand: "War Zone 57, District D... The commander is... Commander Chen Qiaoxi. It seems that Xiaoqun should be able to meet his father."

"After we change our gear, we should be ready to depart. We'll board the ship at the mouth of the river ahead and then proceed to the assembly point together." Commander Liu flipped through his Spirit Realm terminal: "War Zone 57 in District D is near Mondstadt Port. It seems that this supply will include dandelion wine. Hopefully, it will be a bit sweet."

“I actually prefer the Sunset Fruit flavor… but during the war, I could only have one bottle a day at most. During the last flood control operation, someone in my dorm didn’t like drinking, so I swapped an extra bottle with him.” Ye Jialin sighed sadly, “It’s a pity he was vaporized by the Super Lightsaber Cannon, and I never saw him again.”

"The vaporization efficiency of the current super lightsaber cannon is even higher," Commander Liu said with a dark humor, then quickly tapped a few times on the Spirit Realm terminal: "Let's change into our gear as soon as possible and then set off."

The two quickly made the arrangements and soon all the equipment was replaced. After leaving some logistics personnel to handle the matter, more than a hundred mechs flew out of the base and headed towards the assembly point at the river mouth.

Several warships were already docked there, escorting many cargo ships, waiting for all the troops to board. If you looked up, you could see all kinds of troops gathering in a mighty procession toward the same goal.

The Liyue mech forces possess the technology of Celestial Mechs and Celestial Runes. They are mainly assembling from Guili Plains. Thousands of mechs and a large number of heavy combat weapons are lined up in various formations and heading towards the river mouth. Among them are mechs, cannons, and Guili Mechs.

There are even super-heavy weapons that are hundreds of meters long, suspended in the air by a levitation array, and whose weight appears to be as high as tens of thousands of tons!

This is a heavy cannon developed using a new generation of energy-concentrating technology, combined with the original physical cannon on Pidamira City. Unlike the super lightsaber cannon and the light spear, this heavy cannon fires physical heavy projectiles!

Its enormous size and terrifying recoil make it incredibly powerful, but it's also difficult to mount on the Qunyu Pavilion. Even on warships, only a few can be installed. Therefore, equipping it on the ground and then deploying it by driving pile foundations in key locations becomes the only option.
