Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

A soft sigh came from behind.

Xu Ning turned around and saw Istaru sighing. The ruler of time and the ruler of the sky behind him were both looking at the "Heavenly Principle" on the throne with complicated expressions.

"Although I 'saw' this moment from the beginning, it's truly awe-inspiring to watch fate ultimately lead us to this point!"

Xu Ning thought about it carefully, "Since you can foresee everything, given that this 'Heavenly Principle' initially had undivided power, he must have known what would happen at this moment, right? Why didn't He exterminate the dragon race from the beginning and eliminate future troubles? Why didn't He take sufficient precautions for today's events... Could it be that He was actually waiting for this moment to arrive?"

Ishtar laughed. "Waiting for what moment? Waiting to let you all into Sky Island to usurp the throne and force a coup, even leaving your great enemy standing in front of you with a weapon without any defense. Even if it were a self-destructive god here, there would be no need to go to such extremes, would there?"

Xu Ning agreed and took another long sip from the Dust Concealment Gourd. "That's right, I never thought I'd be so lucky."

Ishtar's gaze swept over the Ruler of the Sky and the Ruler of Life. "'Heavenly Principle' divided His power among us four shadows, so that we could jointly maintain the normal operation of this world. We are equivalent to His will, His incarnation. We are the four of us as one, yet we restrain each other. We are equivalent to Himself... But who would have thought that three of us would actually go against the original intention of Heavenly Principle? Perhaps, whether it is a god or a human, the hardest thing to see is actually oneself."

After sighing again, Ishtar smiled at Xu Ning, "Once I return to my position, 'Heaven's Principle' will fully awaken. I know that the answer you most want to know right now is definitely what you'll find out in the future I see today: how did you win or lose..."

Xu Ning raised an eyebrow. "You're willing to tell me?"

"If you want to hear it, I can even tell you the answer to your question just now." Istar leaned down and looked gently at the girl on the throne whose eyelashes trembled slightly. "After all, she is someone who, even after knowing that unhappy ending, is still willing to bravely walk alone and face it all!"

Xu Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled freely.

"Then don't tell me. I'll see the outcome for myself."

Istaru seemed to have heard this phrase before, and tilted her head without any surprise. "Since we have already made our choices, let us each face our own destiny."

Ishtar's figure suddenly became transparent, as if she had never appeared in that location at all.

Behind the throne of Heavenly Principle, a second dark figure appeared at some unknown time.

The sleeping girl's breathing became slightly heavy, and she finally slowly opened her eyes at this moment.

Xu Ning looked into those eyes.

When I first opened my eyes, it was like a dusty starry sky, blurry and empty, but it soon turned into a clear blue. In the shimmering light of my eyes, I could clearly feel the great power of time rising and falling like the tides.

It is clearly this being of the Heavenly Principle who is using the power of time to read the cause and effect of the Teyvat world.

Xu Ning did not disturb "His" awakening, but simply picked up the gourd again and took a big gulp.

However, despite being so close to Tianli, the newly awakened Tianli looked past Xu Ning and first at the two rulers who were still standing at the door.

"Asmodeus...is this the answer you've given me? In the end, you made the same choice I did back then..."
