Seeing this, Ying and Paimon also came to Qiu Nian's right side.
"Nothing much was actually done."
"I merely lifted Lord Guyun's seal and released Osel."
Qiu Nian gazed in the direction of Guyun Pavilion and said calmly.
"what?!"
"You broke the seal on the Vortex Demon God, and not only that, you also let him go!"
Paimon's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he said in shock.
Ying was also shocked when she heard what Qiu Nian said.
She, along with the Seven Stars and the immortals, finally managed to suppress Osel back into the seal.
In the end, Qiu Nian released him!
Upon hearing this, Xuehua showed an extremely puzzled expression.
She thought about Qiu Nian killing Ausel completely, and she also wondered what Qiu Nian and Ausel had said to each other.
But no one expected that Qiu Nian would let Osel go!
Bathed in the twilight sunlight.
Qiu Nian spoke.
Meanwhile, a cutscene appeared in the game screen of Snowflake's live stream.
"Thousands of years ago, the territory of the Whirlpool Demon God was located in what is now the Cloud Sea."
"And his people are the marine creatures of the Sea of Clouds."
"At that time, many people from Liyue Harbor went out to sea to hunt marine life."
"With the tacit approval of the Vortex Demon God."
"His followers would occasionally smash the Liyue people's sturdy ships."
"To drag people into a bottomless abyss."
"As time passed, the War of the Demon Gods broke out, and the conflict between the two sides grew increasingly fierce..."
At this point, Qiu Nian looked towards the sea at dusk.
The tone of Qiu Nian's words, coupled with her hair and clothes being gently blown by the breeze.
The snowflakes and viewers in the live stream felt an indescribable sense of divinity.
"Finally... Morax pierced the rainbow with his spear."
"Nail Osel, who was ravaging the ocean, to the center of the deep sea."
"After that day, dolphins and whales often gathered and lingered in that area, calling and singing."
"Dolphins and whales seemed to weep and lament for the gods they revered, singing mournful songs."
Looking in the direction of Guyun Pavilion, Qiu Nian continued her story.
Upon hearing this, Ying and Paimon looked towards the direction of Guyun Pavilion with somewhat complicated expressions.
"Therefore, during the Demon God War, the Whirlpool Demon God was there to protect his people."
"They just attacked the fishing boats of the Liyue people?"
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and asked with a complicated expression.
"Demons love people, but they also have their own subjects and followers."
"The first people they love are their own people."
"Just like Andrius, whom you met in Mondstadt."
"He was Andrius's lover when he was a demon god, so he gave up the struggle for the throne."
"But he loved the wolves even more, because he would restrain them from harming people."
"But he will also bare his fangs at those who harm the wolf pack."
"Just like Oser, his love for his people came before his lover."
"However, Oser did not give up his divine position like Andrius."
Qiu Nian put her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly, and slowly spoke to Ying and Paimon beside her.
"I... I think I understand now."
"From a non-human perspective, neither side's actions were wrong..."
Ying gazed in the direction of Guyun Pavilion and murmured to herself.
Chapter 53 What? !
"Um..."
Qiu Nian slowly raised one hand, in the process of raising her hand.
A white aura emanated from his body, with a few wisps of red mixed in.
Several lines, barely visible to the naked eye, have appeared in his black eyes.
In the palm of his hand, something enveloped in blue light appeared, making it impossible to discern what it was.
But Ying and Paimon sensed an indescribable power within it...
There's a strange feeling, like some kind of rule.
"The two sides already had conflicts, and the Demon God War became the catalyst."
"That's what ultimately led to this outcome."
"In that era, most demons did not intend to start wars."
"Like Morax, they were only passively involved in the war."
"But...war driven by laws is brutal."
"In those days, there was no standard for measuring good and evil."
"Weakness is the original sin of war, driven by these very laws..."
As Qiu Nian gazed at the sun gradually setting below the horizon, her tone carried a sense of melancholy and apology.
Just then, a piece of instrumental music suddenly started playing during the cutscene.
The imagery evokes a sense of heaviness.
"Ausel, now you have voluntarily relinquished this very law that drives war..."
"That means you have let go of your obsession with the divine position, and you have also let go of your hatred for the kingdom of Liyue."
"But you gave it to me, not Morax..."
"It seems that the agonizing struggle and the hatred that scratches at the solid rock are not so easily eliminated."
Qiu Nian closed her eyes slightly and said with emotion.
"But since you're willing to believe me."
"Choose to let go of the hatred that has tormented me for so long with rock spears."
"Then I will accept this gift..."
“Osel... although you have lost your status, your power has not diminished much.”
Perhaps... this ending is the best for you...
Qiu Nian opened her eyes and sighed as she gazed at the distant horizon.
The "thing" in his hand was nothing other than this.
It was a fragment of the primordial origin, the divine essence of the Vortex Demon God.
"Now, this thing has a better place to go..."
"You, who have traversed countless heavens and crossed seas of stars, shall receive this gift..."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he turned around, faced the dazed Ying, and slightly raised his hand from below.
The divine essence transformed into a tiny ball of light and entered Ying's chest.
After finishing all that, Qiu Nian ignored Ying, who was touching her chest.
Instead, he turned around and looked at the setting sun on the horizon.
And so it went, until the sun had completely set below the horizon...
The cutscene ends here.
As Snowflake watched the cutscene that had ended in the game, her mood became heavy.
Although she didn't understand some of the content.
But Qiu Nian's divinity and sense of vicissitudes captivated her deeply, scene by scene.
So much so that in the end, Qiu Nian gave Ying something that seemed to be very powerful.
She felt no particular emotion.
Even the viewers in the live stream fell silent during the cutscene.
This scene is so evocative!
The poignant sense of melancholy tinged with a hint of apology in Qiu Nian's storyline... this part was simply divine.
I'm totally swooning over Qiu Nian's handsomeness!
[I really can't take it anymore, miHoYo, I'm begging you, please add him to the gacha pool! (crying emoji)]
[No, what did Qiu Nian just give Ying?]
[Yeah, I was so engrossed in the story that it seemed to be something really powerful.]
[I think it's called The Laws of War?]
