I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [198]

Beyond the World

In the River of Time—

Five thousand years ago, Shenzhou. The Age of Shennong and Xuanyuan.

"Danzhu, Jilin… We might die here today."

Cangxuan let out a bitter laugh as she stared at the colossal Honkai beast roaring before them.

"Until the very last moment, we must not give up."

Ji Xuanyuan, clad in an orange-red robe with flowing sleeves and a golden-winged crown, gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, standing firm against the monstrous foe.

The beast before them was unfathomably vast—towering higher than mountains, more immense than the very heavens.

Compared to it, the three warriors standing in defiance were insignificant, smaller than the tip of one of its fangs.

Yet it was these three who had halted its advance, preventing it from obliterating all of Shenzhou.

"ROAR—!"

The beast let out a thunderous bellow. The sheer force of its breath alone sent a devastating shockwave outward, obliterating everything in its path.

Trees, boulders—even entire mountain peaks—were instantly shattered, rolling into the distance like mere pebbles.

And yet, amidst the destruction, three resolute figures stood their ground.

Like immovable stones rooted in the earth, they shielded the people behind them.

"From the battle in the Nine Hells to the depths of the ocean, and now onto land…"

Ji Xuanyuan nimbly sidestepped the beast's sweeping tail, calmly analyzing the situation.

"Even wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, I can’t deal a fatal blow to Chiyou. What should we do?"

"Fuxi, Nüwa—do you have any better ideas? So far, I’ve remained unscathed, but so has this beast."

"It’s simply too massive, and its armor is far too thick. If this continues, all of Shenzhou will be destroyed."

"…Hmm."

Cangxuan—Fuxi—stood with an unusually serious expression, utterly unlike her usual languid and playful demeanor.

A small, pure white serpent coiled around her long, dark hair, and before her floated a small sphere, gleaming with an eerie blue Honkai glow.

A translucent holographic screen flickered into view above it—technology that did not belong to this era.

Studying the data, she spoke with calm precision:

"According to calculations from the quantum computing sphere [Terminal], this Judgment-class Honkai beast, Chiyou, possesses three Honkai energy cores."

"We must destroy all three to force it into hibernation."

"…We can’t kill it?" Ji Xuanyuan turned to her in surprise.

"Correct. Judgment-class Honkai beasts can autonomously absorb Honkai particles. Even if all its cores are destroyed, it will revive once Honkai energy concentration reaches a critical threshold."

"However, at the current rate of Honkai energy accumulation in Shenzhou, Chiyou will not be able to revive for at least five thousand years."

"Five thousand years… No one can predict what the world will be like then."

Even as Ji Xuanyuan spoke, she spun her sword, summoning a massive lightning storm that crackled across the sky.

Thunderclouds stretched for over a kilometer, raining down judgment upon Chiyou—yet even this was not enough to cause any significant damage.

Ji Xuanyuan frowned, her grip tightening around the Xuanyuan Sword.

"What exactly do we need to do?" she asked again.

"I know! I know!"

The legendary goddess of creation, Nüwa—Danzhu—enthusiastically raised a hand.

"If we use my [Soulsteel] infused with the sealing power of the Nine Hells, we just need to locate Chiyou’s heart, jab it in real good, give it a little twist, and—bam! Sealed for good!"

"This is the ultimate sealing technique—[Lightwave Demon Seal Formation]~! Ahaha, just kidding."

Cangxuan—Fuxi—cast a sideways glance at her sister, closing her eyes briefly before reopening them.

"…Actually, that could work."

A rare resolve laced her tone.

"I’ve already pinpointed the three cores inside Chiyou. Danzhu and I can directly seal two of them, but someone must enter the beast’s body to reach the third core."

"I’ll do it." Ji Xuanyuan nodded without hesitation.

"…Such a shame. If Red Kite—Jingwei—were here, we wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble."

Cangxuan—Fuxi—sighed.

"Sigh~~ Even if I calculated five thousand years' worth of financial expenses for her, will she really follow my plans after my sacrifice? She better not waste any money…"

Just as she finished speaking, Ji Xuanyuan suddenly stiffened.

Her gaze shifted, shock flooding her expression.

But moments later, that shock melted into quiet understanding.

She lowered her head slightly, smiling gently.

"Jingwei is indeed powerful," she murmured. "But we are not weak either."

"Then, I leave this to you, Fuxi, Nüwa."

"Leave it to me," Cangxuan—Fuxi—nodded.

"This is our mission, meow~!" Nüwa—Danzhu—grinned excitedly.

As their voices fell, the glowing blue sphere in front of Cangxuan—Fuxi—began to rise.

A mechanical voice echoed from within.

[User detected activating Last Stand mode.]

[Initializing transformation. Confirm activation?]

"Activate!"

Cangxuan—Fuxi— and Nüwa—Danzhu—shouted in unison.

[Confirming dual-authorized voice recognition. Secondary verification required. Confirm activation?]

"Ac—"

Before they could finish, they both froze.

A figure had appeared before them.

A presence both unfamiliar and deeply familiar.

A tall young man in elegant golden robes of Shenzhou, hands clasped behind his back, his expression composed and serene.

"You…?"

An inexplicable sensation surged through Cangxuan and Danzhu.

They felt as though they had always known this man—yet their minds held no memory of him.

Then, without hesitation, Cangxuan spoke a name she had never known.

"…Zhongli."

"You are… Zhongli!"

"But why… why do I know your name?"

"Yes," the young man replied simply.

He turned slightly, one hand resting on his chest, the other stroking his chin in thought.

"Perhaps it is the disturbance of time… Or perhaps, by the nature of universal truths, even I know little of time’s intricacies."

"However, before we discuss these matters—before we debate the continuity of time—"

"Let me take care of this beast first."

"…Its roaring is rather grating."

With those words, Zhongli turned to face the monstrous Chiyou.

He lifted one hand.

And pressed down.

In the next instant—

The behemoth collapsed.

A crushing, unseen force weighed upon it, pressing down on every fiber of its being.

Even with its impossible density—its body crafted from Honkai energy—it could not withstand the pressure.

Seconds later, its body began to fracture.

Within a minute, its three Honkai cores shattered.

And then—

Its massive form dissolved into Honkai particles, scattering into the wind.

Only silence remained.

Ji Xuanyuan blinked.

Her dark eyes shimmered in the fading light of destruction.

And for a long moment—

She simply stood there, utterly dazed.
