Boom! A bolt of lightning struck right next to Su Xuan's feet, the shattered stones slamming into his barrier and turning to dust upon impact.
Su Xuan didn't mind at all, his expression calm as he gazed at the strange warrior seated by the shrine.
In an instant, as the warrior raised his hand without a clue, his neck snapped with a twist. Thud—he collapsed to the ground.
The women: "!?"
From the footage, the warrior Su Xuan had killed gave off a very eerie vibe.
The Inazuma women felt he resembled a Sea Chaos Ghost even more.
[Feimu Village Chief, Yuzutsu.]
[No one could cure the villagers of Feimu Village infected by Orobashi's curse, so Chief Yuzutsu had no choice but to pin his hopes on live sacrifices.]
[Many Feimu villagers died in these desperate rituals.]
[Yuzutsu himself was infected by the curse, turning into something neither human nor ghost.]
[Even so, he still wanted to save Feimu Village's villagers... well, through live sacrifices...]
[If I hadn't acted just now, I reckon it wouldn't have been long before he raised his blade at me, determined to sacrifice me.]
[So, I just sent him on his way to relief.]
The women watching Su Xuan's actions shivered all over.
Combined with Yashiori Island's constant thunder and lightning, was this even a normal island anymore? It was practically a hellish underworld.
They couldn't imagine what the Feimu villagers had endured back then.
Raiden Ei, who had just finished dressing, furrowed her brows slightly, a trace of guilt flashing across her face.
The tragedy of Feimu Village was ultimately a chain reaction from the Sakoku Decree.
Without the Sakoku Decree, Watatsumi Island wouldn't have rebelled, and the Fatui wouldn't have had a chance to meddle.
If she had focused solely on Inazuma, no one would have dared wreak havoc on its soil.
Unfortunately, the most useless thing in the world is regret.
[Actually, I have a way to directly purge the curse from Yuzutsu and restore him to normal.]
[Then, using his memories of the Feimu villagers, I could bring them all back to this world.]
[But I won't do that.]
[This has nothing to do with my morals. I'm not related to them, and I have no obligation to make such a huge sacrifice for strangers.]
[If I didn't hold my bottom line, I'd be endlessly harassed.]
[After all, reversing life and death, immortality—it's what almost everyone dreams of.]
The women: "!?"
Jueyun Karst.
Cloud Retainer's face was full of disbelief: "Re... reversing life and death..."
"Reviving all the villagers through that chief's memories..."
"He possesses such terrifying power?"
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Even the quirky Hu Tao was stunned.
Hu Tao, who always straddled the boundary between life and death, had never heard of any spell that could truly resurrect the dead.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's duties weren't just sending souls onward—even Liyue's adepti, upon passing, were handled by them with immortal rites.
"Not even immortals can be revived upon their passing, yet this Su fellow..."
"He's not just bragging, is he?"
Hu Tao's quick wits stalled for once.
But thankfully, Su Xuan stuck to his principles and wouldn't revive people willy-nilly.
Otherwise, she'd be begging on the streets in no time.
Yashiori Island.
Su Xuan stood before a Snake God Suppressor stele and casually pulled out the Qiankun Mirror.
In the next second, the full form of the Snake God Suppressor reflected in the mirror.
Then, the image of the suppressor in the Qiankun Mirror began reversing time itself.
Until the weathered suppressor turned brand new, until the damaged Pillar Inlay Pearls and Pillar Suppressor Stones reappeared—the image in the mirror finally stopped.
"Alright, this Snake God Suppressor is restored." Su Xuan clapped his hands, pocketed the Qiankun Mirror, and turned toward the next one.
Only as he walked away did the full view of the Snake God Suppressor enter the women's sight.
Yae Miko stared at the screen, her breath catching.
"What did he just do?"
"The destroyed Snake God Suppressor... it's exactly like when it was first set up."
Even Yae Miko was dumbfounded.
"Head Priestess, I think I saw him take out a mirror and shine it." Kamisato Ayaka gaped.
[Qiankun Mirror.jpg]
[Possesses functions like inverting heaven and earth, reversing yin and yang, time reversal, exorcising evil, and more.]
[Just now, I shone the Qiankun Mirror on the ruined Snake God Suppressor, adjusting its time via the mirror.]
[All I had to do was rewind it to the moment it was created.]
[Of course, the tool I mentioned for reviving Feimu villagers is also the Qiankun Mirror.]
[Shine it on someone to recall memories of a person or object, and the mirror reflects those memories, manifesting them in reality.]
[Moreover, anything it shines on directly dispels surrounding negative effects.]
[Like the wear and tear even the Seven Archons face—tune the Qiankun Mirror to exorcise evil, shine it on an Archon, and their wear is gone.]
The women: "!?!!"
Impossible! This mirror holds such horrifying power?
[Actually, when I unlocked the Qiankun Mirror, I shone it on myself and froze my body's time.]
[Now, my body's functions won't change with the passage of time.]
[In simpler terms...]
[I'm immortal now. The kind with zero side effects.]
[...]
Liyue Jade Chamber.
The affluent Ningguang trembled fiercely: "Im... immortality..."
