Fontaine.
Furina, who was sitting in her room, caught a glimpse of the scene through the window.
She ran out immediately, placing her hands on the railing and watching the battle on the screen with great excitement.
If…
If he could help her.
Could he directly defy the Heavenly Principles? Could he help her save Fontaine and rescue her from this five-hundred-year stage?
At the same time, everyone in the chat was in shock.
[Ganyu]: "This power... it has surpassed that of an adeptus, right?"
[Childe]: "Is this really achievable by human strength? Even the Tsaritsa can't do this!"
[Hu Tao]: "This... is too terrifying!"
[Zhongli]: "@Venti, you drunkard, what do you think?"
[Paimon]: "Needless to say, he must be much stronger than the tone-deaf bard!"
[Venti]: "Ehe~ I just sing, I wouldn't know~"
[Zhongli]: "Who is he? Who is this man?"
[Furina]: "Does anyone know who he is?"
The scene on the screen finally froze at the moment the boy floated into the sky.
His appearance was now visible to everyone in Teyvat.
The system's voice sounded again. [The person being exposed this time is: Lin Hao]
"Lin Hao!?"
Zhongli's heart jolted!
This name was all too familiar to him. It was the God of Inazuma. Ever since his appearance, rumors about him had spread throughout the Seven Nations.
He had originally thought the rumors were just tall tales, exaggerated and embellished until they became myths.
But he never expected that this person's power in his past life would be so terrifying.
Could it be... that all the rumors were true?
Everyone else was also stunned.
So this was the past life of the Lord of Inazuma.
Tian Tiezui said proudly, "Masters, did you see? We weren't lying before. This Lord of Inazuma is powerful enough to touch the sky."
"It's no exaggeration to say that the strength he just displayed is merely the tip of the iceberg. If he were to fight with all his might, even our Lord of Geo might not be able to defeat him."
Zhongli picked up his teacup, intending to take a sip.
But with too many thoughts swirling in his mind, he had to set the cup down again.
He sighed with emotion, "Perhaps... even the Lord of Geo cannot compare to him."
Inazuma.
Yae Miko looked at Lin Hao beside her and chuckled. "I asked you to tell me, but you refused. Now, it's all out in the open. The whole of Teyvat will know about your past life."
Lin Hao's tone was as cold as ever. "It doesn't matter. I don't care."
"Alright~"
Yae Miko was helpless. "I would like to know what makes you so withdrawn."
Just as the words fell, the screen in the sky changed.
[Past life exposure begins!]
[Exposed person's past life identity: Kevin]
[World: Honkai Impact 3rd]
[World Introduction: This is a world being eroded by a mysterious disaster known as the "Honkai."
Humans infected by the Honkai have turned into "Dead-walkers," mindless beings who only know destruction.
They, along with the massive "Honkai Beasts" born from the disaster, pose a colossal threat to the world.
The only ones who can resist the Honkai are the "Valkyries," a force composed of young women with natural "Honkai antibodies."]
[Related Characters: Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, Bronya Zaychik.]
On the screen, each related character received a detailed description, informing everyone in Teyvat of their stories.
Then, the picture began to move.
It was a dark corridor.
The view moved deeper into the corridor as if through someone's eyes.
Finally, it came to a lonely throne.
The moment this person saw the figure on the throne, his mind was filled with thoughts.
All his inner thoughts were revealed: *Fifteen hundred years have passed. Power has been handed over and changed in human hands, and fire and sword have baptized the earth over and over again. On this planet, history occurs and disappears as quickly as a snap of the fingers.*
*However, compared to the last time I saw him, the man before me has not changed at all. The same goes for his will. This man transcends time and does not enter the cycle of reincarnation.*
Noticing his arrival, Kevin awoke from his reverie.
He set his sights on his disciple.
The disciple couldn't help but tremble. What kind of eyes were those...
These eyes had witnessed miracles no mortal could dream of and had also endured the sorrow of all things perishing.
But everything these eyes had witnessed had been hammered into two ruthless and indifferent pieces of ice by an extraordinary will.
Yae Miko looked at Kevin on the screen.
That ruthless and cold gaze was exactly the same as Lin Hao's beside her.
What kind of grief must one go through, how many joys and sorrows must one witness, for such a gaze to be forged?
She wanted to know.
She wanted to know everything about her God.
At this time, people in the chat also began to speak one after another.
[Furina]: "Those eyes are so cold and terrifying."
[Kamisato Ayaka]: "Yes, I have met Lord God once, and his eyes are just like that, indifferent to everything."
[Paimon]: "Is Paimon the only one who thinks that look is scary? He's definitely not a good person."
[Lumine]: "That's right, who would be a good person in such a dark environment?"
[Yoimiya]: "You can't say that. After all, this is a past life. Maybe Lord God had his reasons?"
[Venti]: "Alright now~ Let's just keep watching."
[Paimon]: "That look is even more terrifying than when we first met the tone-deaf bard."
[Venti]: "..."
Everyone was discussing it.
And the screen's exposure continued.
Kevin's cold gaze fell upon the disciple.
His voice asked, indifferent and ruthless, "How are the preparations for the plan?"
As a loyal follower, Gray Serpent answered truthfully, "It is proceeding smoothly. The world today already has all the conditions needed to implement the plan. Even if the Herrscher of Reason can delay you for a moment, he cannot stop the march of history."
"The research on the 'Jackal' is almost complete and only requires one final verification."
Kevin said calmly, "Then begin."
"Yes."
Gray Serpent raised his head slightly and looked at his lord carefully.
Then he said, "To celebrate your return, I have a gift for you."
"Only this legendary weapon can match the future pioneer of humanity." He held up a greatsword and offered it with both hands.
On the dim blade, the flames that once burned everything had long since disappeared. But its shape still evoked memories of the warrior.
He once held this very sword to slay all monsters that endangered mankind and to face the judgment of the 'gods'.
Kevin stood up from his throne and descended the steps one by one.
"Old friend, we meet again."
He grasped the hilt of the sword as if clutching his own past.
He stared at the dull blade, just as he had done thousands of times before battle.
The greatsword, made of Soulium, trembled and came to life. Its form began to stretch and change, responding to the fierce fighting spirit in the warrior's heart.
It seemed that it was not merely a sword, but a living creature with a soul.
A ray of light burst out from deep within the sword's core.
Reuniting with its old master ignited its soul.
The flaming sword that guarded the Garden of Eden, the heavenly fire that burned Sodom... Humans who were lucky enough to witness this divine weapon have used countless myths to describe its majesty.
Now, thousands of years later, the myth will once again become reality.
"From now on, fight with me!"
This command not only resounded through the hall but was also like a silent thunder, passing through the hearts of all the followers in the distance, and even through the screen, shocking every spectator in Teyvat.
It announced to them that the storm was coming.
