"Fellow immortals, hear me out," Ningguang said.

"I know what you want to say, but let me tell you my plan first," Lin Qiu interrupted.

"Hmm? What are Mr. Lin Qiu's plans?" Ningguang asked.

She now knew that Lin Qiu was not the Emperor. After all, it was said to be a test from the Emperor, so why would the Emperor himself take action?

“I have a tool that can repair the seal, but it’s more troublesome than directly smashing the Jade Pavilion. You all need to suppress Oser.”

Ningguang smashed the Jade Pavilion, which could directly stun and seal Ausel.

However, Lin Qiu's props were clearly not powerful enough to directly seal the demon god; they could only prevent the opponent from breaking through the seal after it was formed.

This requires suppressing Oser's resistance before the seal is fully formed, which will be quite troublesome.

“I see. Then let’s do it,” Liu Yun, an impatient person, immediately offered his suggestion after listening.

While others were still considering the feasibility, Liu Yun had already begun to pour his immortal power into it.

"Liu Yun, you...sigh." Li Shui sighed helplessly and began to pour out her immortal power as well.

Following closely behind was Xiaoyue, with Granny Ping and Xiao also assisting the Jade Pavilion's magic array.

"In that case, I'll keep my plan on file." Ningguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and mobilized her rock element to coordinate with the immortal attacks.

Keqing and Beidou understood what was going on when they saw that Qunyu Pavilion was increasing its firepower, and they unleashed their respective powers in perfect unison.

"Yes, I am very grateful to him. He is the one who helped me save the Jade Pavilion. However, alas, there are no trump cards to be had when dealing with a prophet."

Fortunately, he and I are on the same side, not enemies.

Chapter 107 Liyue's Answer Sheet

With everyone unleashing their full power, Oser was suppressed and could only defend.

As the Jade Pavilion continued to approach Osel, Lin Qiu took out a system item, a talisman.

Upon getting close, Lin Qiu threw out the talisman, which hovered in front of Osel.

The talisman was working, and the seal was gradually taking shape.

Oser noticed the problem and lunged at the talisman, trying to bite it to pieces.

"Desolate Star!" Yingmei waved her hand, and a 'meteorite' struck Osel on the head.

This was not enough to stop Oser, it only made him pause slightly.

The brief pause was enough; Xiao's spear was already in front of Oser.

With a 'whoosh,' Xiao passed right through Oser's 'snake head'.

"Ouch!" Oser cried out in pain, his head curling up in pain from the blow.

Xiao glanced coldly, then suddenly descended. The wind elemental power, mixed with karmic obstacles, exploded as the spear pierced Oser's head, piercing Oser's body like multiple spears.

This really hurt Oser. He roared and his water elemental energy exploded like a bomb, forcing Xiao back.

As the seal gradually took shape, the enraged Oser summoned a waterspout in an attempt to shatter the talisman.

However, with Grandma Ping, Gan Yu, and Shen He around, the waterspout couldn't even take shape.

Oser made one last attempt, this time using two heads to attack while the other heads focused on defense.

One head was stopped by Xiao, just like last time, while the other head was still approaching.

Shen He's icy essence lightly touched his body, and it froze briefly.

Gan Yu's arrows followed closely behind, freezing the ground once again.

The two freezes were not long, but they still managed to hold out until the seal was formed.

Oser crashed into the barrier but failed to break it.

Oser roared twice in resentment, then gradually fell into a deep sleep, sinking into the sea along with the seal.

The sea returned to calm, and the sky gradually cleared.

"Did it succeed?" a Qianyan soldier asked uncertainly.

Did they really defeat such a terrifying, gigantic demon?

"That's right, we've won!" Keqing raised her sword to declare victory. "Rejoice!"

"Oooo!!"

"We've protected Liyue Harbor!"

Qianyan Army cheered, jumped for joy, and embraced.

This was a hard-fought victory. If their opponent had been a land-based demon god, they wouldn't have had such a difficult time.

“Thank you, Lin Qiu,” Ningguang said.

"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything," Lin Qiu said with a smile.

He will still win in the end even if he doesn't help, but the price will be Ningguang's Jade Pavilion.

Ningguang smiled but didn't say anything. Her gratitude wasn't just for his contributions to Liyue.

"No need to be modest, I also acknowledge your achievements this time," Liu Yun said.

“Liu Yun is right.” Granny Ping nodded. “I heard from Liu Yun that you are studying immortal arts. If you are interested in ‘external landscape arts,’ you can come and find me.”

"In terms of outdoor photography, I, this old woman, am far more skilled than Liu Yun."

"Hmph." Liu Yun snorted without refuting.

“We both have our own strengths, you can come and learn from us,” said Li Shui and Xiao Yue.

Lin Qiu's eyes lit up; it seemed that defeating the boss had resulted in the loss of skills.

Leaving aside the water features and moon-shaping techniques, this outdoor landscape design is a great tool, especially since my house with one master bedroom and two guest bedrooms is a bit too small.

The reason we bought the house with two guest bedrooms was because Hu Tao and Zhong Li would come over from time to time to stay and listen to stories.

In a way, this house could be considered as Hu Tao buying it for him, since it's unlikely he could afford to buy a house in a year on his salary alone.

Thanks to Hu Tao's occasional rewards and bonuses, he was able to buy a house.

Incidentally, Lin Qiu moved to a larger three-bedroom house in Fontainebleau.

This was a reward given to him by Fufu and Navia in the name of the Vasher case, but no one lives there for the time being.

“The traveler has been traveling far and wide, and I happen to have a gift for you,” Grandma Ping continued, not forgetting another person who had made a contribution.

Yingmei's eyes lit up; this meant the boss dropped equipment!

"What treasure?" Paimon's eyes lit up; otherwise, how could the two of them be so close?

"Hmm... it's not wrong to call it a treasure, but it still requires a few small steps to make," Grandma Ping said.

Yingmei frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Is this a sign that I have tasks to complete? But it's alright, I don't have anything else to do lately anyway.

After the matter was settled, Beidou and Ningguang picked up the people on the island and began their return journey.

Because the Seven Stars and the Immortals did not have any conflict this time, Ningguang did not make any special arrangements for them at the port.

But there's more to come, so Ningguang decides to hold a celebration at the Jade Pavilion to mark the victory.

"A victory celebration banquet?" Lin Qiu pondered, remembering someone.

In the distance, Wendy had finished her drink.

"That was really good!" Wendy clapped.

“Human wisdom and power are truly fascinating,” Nasita said, her expression gentle as she clapped her little hands in the void, like a mother encouraging her child.

"Alright, I'm off to the celebration party too." Wendy said, casually tossing the wine bottle into the spot where Osel had just been sealed.

"Huh?" Nasita was taken aback. Based on her understanding of victory celebrations, shouldn't this be an event for those who had made contributions?

Barbatos, have you accomplished anything?

Meanwhile, Zhong Li arrived at the Northern Bank.

“Mr. Zhongli?” D'Artagnan asked, full of doubt.

“Welcome, Morax, the Geo Archon.” Rosalind stood up.

Arecino stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold before her.

"Huh? What's going on?" D'Artagnan was bewildered.

“I told you long ago, I have a way to get the Heart of the Rock God.” Rosalind glanced at Datalia with disdain.

Zhongli ignored their noise and said, "The 'contract' is complete. As you requested, I will grant you what was promised."

Although Zhongli's tone was condescending, Rosalyn didn't say much this time.

"Wait! We got it already? What happened?" D'Artagnan was confused.

“This is the ‘contract’ between the Queen and the Rock God. It’s normal that you can’t understand it,” Rosalind said.

"It's not so much that I don't understand, but rather why you didn't tell me?" D'Artagnan complained. "Is this how you treat your colleagues?"

“Because concealing it from you is my ‘contract’ with the Rock God,” Rosalind replied.

"..." D'Artagnan now understood; he was also part of the contract.

“No wonder…” Tartaglia sighed. It turned out that everything was part of the Rock God’s plan.

That makes sense. If the Rock God hadn't died, how could I have unsealed Oser if he hadn't allowed it?

“Mr. Zhongli, are you satisfied now?” Dadalia said helplessly.

Zhongli nodded, "Very satisfied. Liyue has given me a result that exceeded my expectations."

“Tianquan Ningguang, knowing that I was not dead, still tried his best to stop me and never thought of asking for help.”

"The soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army knew the least, but they still risked their lives to stand at the forefront of the battle line."

“I think I can now confidently return power to the people and end the era of ‘gods’.”

"I am very satisfied, but because of Lin Xiaoyou, I have to add another test... I hope Liyue can pass it too."

Chapter 108 Goddess Spy View

With the contract completed, Zhongli, now retired, left the Northern Bank and came to Yunjin's theater.

“The mission is complete. Let’s return to Winter to pay our respects to the Queen,” Rosalind said.

Returning to winter was partly to complete a mission, and partly to avoid the limelight.

Although they were merely tools under the Emperor's command, the people of Liyue were certainly very dissatisfied in the days immediately following the incident.

They didn't invite Arecino because her mission was different from theirs.

“Yes, I still have a bet to make when I get back,” Dadalia said.

The bet he was referring to was with Lin Qiu, a bet on his life.

"You really intend to fulfill the bet?" Rosalind glanced at Dadalia.

D'Artagnan shrugged. "I don't want to break the bet made in the kingdom of the God of Contracts."

Despite saying that, given his personality, he would abide by the bet even if it wasn't made in the Land of Contracts.

"As you wish." Rosalind waved her hand. "I will speak to the Queen and arrange a grand funeral for you."

"Oh dear, this is both shameful and deadly," D'Artagnan muttered to himself.
