Chapter 498: Chapter 547 and 548
Chapter 547: 547: "True Name: Du'e!"
The Star Dou Plain... once the Star Dou Great Forest.
After the entire Star Dou Great Forest disappeared, only a plain remained, hence the name.
On the Star Dou Plain, neither the Star Luo Empire nor the Heaven Dou Empire had any defenses.
In the confrontation between the two armies, there was no room for retreat.
The morale of the Star Luo Empire side was relatively low, while the morale of the Heaven Dou Empire side was extremely high.
Even though the battle was not yet over, both sides already knew the final outcome.
Without external interference, Star Luo was bound to lose!
With morale hitting rock bottom, the Star Luo Emperor, relying on his charisma and fearless spirit, managed to boost morale.
This battle will be the final swan song of the Star Luo Empire. Even in defeat, it will leave a significant mark in history.
The Star Luo Empire had no cowards!
Dai Mumbai: " 0.o"
As the Star Luo experts entered the fray, the people from the Spirit Hall and the experts from the Heaven Dou side were not idle.
With an absolute advantage in the number of experts, the battle was completely one-sided.
Seeing this, the Star Luo Emperor was not angry, nor did he fly into a rage.
If the enemy had such an advantage and still couldn't crush the Star Luo Empire, that would be truly bizarre.
"Empress!"
"Hmm~"
A flash of ghostly light, and the Nether White Tiger appeared in the sky.
Before the Nether White Tiger could unleash its power, Bibi Dong, holding a demon scythe, stood before it.
The fusion skill of a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo was incredibly powerful, but their opponent was a god!
Even without inheriting much divine power, Bibi Dong was still a god.
To a god, everything below the god level was an ant.
At the edge of the battlefield, a petite figure watched the blood-soaked battlefield.
She held her head in her hands, somewhat confused and deeply troubled.
She didn't understand why everyone was fighting like this, nor did she understand why there was a war.
This was a "little girl," with a "yellow paper" on her head, right at the center of her brow.
The "yellow paper" faintly showed some runes.
"Little sister, this is not a place for you. Leave quickly, least you get hurt."
The appearance of the "girl" was noticed by some experts. Such a cute little girl dying in this war would be a pity.
Therefore, an expert came over to remind this "girl."
This expert was dressed in black robes, his face obscured, and his voice was hoarse. In any world, he would look like a villain, the kind who would laugh "hehehe."
But upon seeing this girl, this "villain" actually acted like a good person for once.
For some reason, he felt that this girl was very similar to him!
"Qiqi... wants... to help... everyone..."
The "girl" spoke haltingly, but her tone was very firm. Her frail body, which looked like it could be blown over by the wind, seemed a bit more upright at this moment.
"Help everyone?"
The black-robed man was stunned, somewhat bewildered.
"Help the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"No..."
"Then help the Star Luo Empire?"
At this, the black-robed man's face darkened, even though his face was obscured.
If this girl wanted to help the Star Luo Empire, even if she didn't have the strength...
"Sigh... if that's the case..."
Thinking this, the black-robed man changed at Qiqi again, and his clenched fist loosened.
"Better to knock her out and take her far away. When she wakes up, everything will be over."
In the end, the black-robed man did not act against Qiqi.
Just as the black-robed man was about to knock Qiqi out, Qiqi shook her head.
"???"
At this moment, the black-robed man was stunned.
Neither helping Heaven Dou nor Star Luo, then what was she...
The black-robed man was none other than the Spirit Hall elder, Gui Mei.
"Qiqi... wants... to help... everyone..."
"Help... everyone... who... needs... help."
Qiqi said to Gui Mei.
Even though her speech was unclear and fragmented.
Her kindness made Gui Mei fall into deep thought.
"Old Ghost, what are you doing?"
"Come and help me!"
Not far away, Yue Guan's voice brought Gui Mei back to reality, but for the first time, he ignored Yue Guan and looked at this strange "girl."
Whether it was her appearance, her attire, or her movements, everything about this girl was strange.
"Little sister, unless you have the strength of the Geo Archon, how can you help everyone?"
"You're still young, you don't understand these things. Leave quickly."
Gui Mei knew that unless the strongest interfered, this war would not end.
But the Geo Archon will not interfere. He was a supporter of unifying the continent, and this battle was inevitable.
"Geo Archon... Geo Archon?"
Qiqi blinked, somewhat puzzled as she looked at Gui Mei.
She had just arrived here and couldn't find her way home.
She didn't expect anyone to know the Geo Archon.
Although her memory was poor and she forgot many things, there were some names she could never forget.
Hu Tao, Bai Zhu, Lumine, Paimon, Geo Archon...
"Qiqi's... strength... is low..."
"But Qiqi... also wants... to help everyone."
Hearing this, Gui Mei sobbed. Just as he was about to knock Qiqi out, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong unleashed her power, directly splitting the Nether White Tiger in two. The Star Luo Emperor and Empress, who had returned to human form, were completely annihilated under the influence of Rakshasa's divine power.
"The Star Luo Emperor is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Lay down your weapons, retract your spirits, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Bibi Dong's voice echoed across the battlefield. At this moment, the Heaven Dou soldiers were immensely encouraged.
They won, just like that!
As expected of a god!
The Star Luo soldiers were stunned. The Nether White Tiger, which had yet to display its might, was slain by a true god. Their morale plummeted, and they dropped their weapons.
The Heaven Dou soldiers did not mistreat these soldiers but nodded at them in a friendly manner.
As ordinary soldiers, they were just...
Seeing the Star Luo Emperor dead, the experts on the Star Luo side did not resist stubbornly. Perhaps the Star Luo Emperor had long wanted to end it quickly to save these people.
Only with his death would the Star Luo regime collapse, giving these people a way out.
Perhaps this was why, knowing the enemy had a god, he was the first to charge in.
Although the battle was brief, the casualties exceeded tens of thousands.
The aftershocks of the battle between experts could affect hundreds, let alone when the Heaven Dou side had an absolute advantage in experts.
"Qiqi... wants to help everyone!"
"???"
The petite figure beside him was still talking about helping everyone, but wasn't the battle over?
What was there to help now?
Under Gui Mei's astonished gaze, Qiqi took out a long sword from somewhere and slowly rose into the air.
Gui Mei: "0.o"
Everyone: " 0.o"
What was going on?
She could fly??
Without spirit rings, without spirit bones, she could fly???
What was happening here also caught the attention of others, who all looked at the "girl" in mid-air.
The girl held a sword in one hand and placed the other under the "yellow paper."
"True Name: Adeptus Du'e"
###
Chapter 548: 548: Mr. Zhongli Really Looks Like the Geo Archon!
"True Name: Adeptus Du'e!"
At this moment, all eyes on the battlefield turned to the small figure in the sky.
There was surprise, astonishment, and confusion.
Guimei's mouth was slightly agape, as if something was stuck in his throat, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
This girl... is extraordinary!
An Adeptus?
In Heaven Dou City, there is a "Adeptus" named Adeptus Cloud Retainer, who always refers to herself as "this immortal."
If it were just an ordinary person, it might be dismissed as a case of chuunibyou.
But she is a powerful figure under the Geo Archon, a so-called immortal, extremely powerful!
From her, it is understood that there are many Adeptuss under the Geo Archon, immortals like her.
So, is this Adeptus also a powerful figure under the Geo Archon?
If that's the case...
"No wonder, no wonder she was surprised when she heard about the Geo Archon earlier..."
Guimei was dumbfounded, muttering to himself.
At this moment, Qiqi's immortal power erupted, spreading across the entire battlefield...
Meanwhile, the "old man" who was observing the war looked grave and hurried towards the battlefield without stopping.
He hadn't expected Qiqi to descend upon the Starfall Plains, let alone during the midst of the battle.
With Qiqi's kindness, how could she not intervene, how could she not save lives?
But when Qiqi releases her "True Name," her immortal power erupts!
Saving tens of thousands, yet potentially sending even more to their deaths, if these millions do not flee, they might be completely annihilated...
Immortal power and soul power are not on the same level, especially since most of the combatants are ordinary people.
Amidst the stunned expressions of the crowd, the soldiers who had already died miraculously opened their eyes, then looked around the battlefield in confusion...
"Revived..."
"Everyone has been revived!!"
"A miracle!"
"This is a miracle!!"
Whether ordinary people, soul masters, or even gods, everyone was stunned at this moment.
For a god, reviving a person is not difficult.
But reviving tens of thousands so "easily" is considered a "miracle" even for a god.
At this moment, even the Star Luo Emperor, who had been slain by the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, was revived.
His expression was even more bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion.
"I... I didn't die?"
He had died, the war should have ended, and the Star Luo Empire had reached its end.
"Is destiny on my side?"
The inexplicable revival made the Star Luo Emperor mistakenly believe that destiny was on his side.
But after clearly seeing the situation on the battlefield, he abandoned this thought.
It wasn't just him who was revived, but all the dead had been revived.
"Adeptus Du'e!"
"Adeptus Du'e!!"
Most mortals had no faith, but at this moment, they suddenly found belief.
This was a terrifying existence capable of reviving tens of thousands at once.
"Pope, can you do something like this?"
An elder from the Spirit Hall instinctively asked Bibi Dong, who was not far away.
There was a hint of hope on his face, revival, this is revival!
If he could revive his deceased son, daughter-in-law, brother, friend...
Hearing this, Bibi Dong rolled her eyes and gave the elder a somewhat exasperated look.
She was a god, yes, but she was a god of slaughter!
The divine realm might have ways to revive ordinary people, but she did not.
Without saying a word, Bibi Dong shook her head.
Seeing this, everyone felt slightly disappointed, Bibi Dong actually couldn't do such a thing...
"Uh... now that the Star Luo Emperor has been revived, should we kill him again?"
Suddenly, an out-of-place voice made everyone, including the Star Luo Emperor, fall into deep thought.
The Star Luo Emperor had sought death by coming to the battlefield to "sacrifice" himself.
He had already died once, now to make him die again...
It felt a bit too grim.
"I... my wife and I will retire to the mountains from now on, no longer concerning ourselves with the affairs of the continent."
The Star Luo Emperor spread his hands and continued, "Let history be written as it was before..."
Hearing this and looking at the Star Luo Emperor, seeing that he had no more attachment to power and had lost his former dominance, everyone exchanged glances and finally looked at Bibi Dong.
After all, this person was revived by that Adeptus, to kill him again would be somewhat disrespectful to the immortal.
Since he was willing to step down and voluntarily retire to the mountains, it could be considered as achieving the goal of unifying the continent.
"Agreed."
"You may leave now."
Bibi Dong nodded, her gaze not on the Star Luo Emperor and the Empress, but on the petite figure in the sky.
The Star Luo Emperor and the Empress exchanged glances, and without further ado, they left the battlefield at the fastest speed, before Bibi Dong and the others could change their minds.
Having died once, they now valued their lives even more, having enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and luxury, retiring now could be considered the best ending.
As the two left, a golden light descended from the sky, landing precisely beside Qiqi.
It was surrounded by amber light, with countless runes appearing on its surface...
"Qiqi!"
Zhongli... Morax looked at Qiqi, a trace of concern flashing across his face.
After carefully examining Qiqi's current condition, Morax finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Releasing her True Name was correct, fortunately, the people Qiqi revived were all "mortals," which didn't burden her too much.
After letting Qiqi rest for a while, she would recover.
To be on the safe side, Morax used his divine power to reinforce the seal on Qiqi's immortal power.
The hundreds of people looked at the two figures in the sky, momentarily losing their ability to think.
If they weren't mistaken, that radiating amber divine light should be the Geo Archon, right?
Everyone swallowed their saliva, why... Why was he here too?
"Wait, do they know each other?"
Not everyone knew that Zhongli had many immortals, Adeptuss, under him.
Hence, they were puzzled.
"Qiqi... remembers... you."
"You... are... Zhongli."
Qiqi looked at Zhongli, her face expressionless, yet her words were somewhat emotional.
As a "little zombie," she often forgot many things, even friends might be forgotten the next day.
Only some special beings remained unforgettable to her.
Like that Hall Master Hu...
And this Mr. Zhongli who helped her find coconut milk.
But, Mr. Zhongli really looks like the Rock Sovereign now!
"Mmm..."
The amber divine light faded, and Zhongli returned to his human form, holding Qiqi as they descended from the sky.
Being remembered by Qiqi meant he held a place in her heart.
But... this girl, her very existence was a tragedy.
A girl who accidentally entered the battlefield of gods and demons, who saved the immortals of Liyue, yet died from releasing too much power.
In the end, with a strand of immortal power from all the immortals, she became a "zombie."
