"Hey... what on earth is going on up there?"
"The sun and the moon... are they colliding?"
"I've never seen a spectacle like this in my life..."
"Wait, look! The real moon is still over there!"
The citizens of Liyue pointed toward the horizon. Sure enough, a faint, pale moon hung in its usual place, looking utterly ghostly and dim beneath the overwhelming radiance of the two clashing celestial bodies.
Within Liyue Harbor, Arlecchino, who had just retired for the night, felt the violent surge of elemental energy. She vaulted onto her rooftop in a single motion, her refined face frozen in shock.
What was she witnessing? A collision of solar and lunar forces?
"No... those are people. That's... that man and... the Raiden Shogun?"
Arlecchino's heart hammered against her ribs. What were they doing? Since the curfew was in effect, she couldn't move closer to investigate. The frustration of knowing a massive secret was unfolding right before her eyes without being able to probe it was agonizing. Had her eyesight not been unnaturally sharp, she wouldn't have even known who was at the center of the storm.
[The Perfect Harmony]
Out at sea, Su Han and Raiden Ei were perfectly synchronized. As they drew closer, they finally impacted.
One might have expected a catastrophic shockwave, but the reality was the opposite. As the two opposing forces met, they fused with seamless perfection.
BOOM.
The ocean groaned. From the perspective of Liyue and Watatsumi Island, a massive sphere of spinning Yin and Yang energy manifested in the sky—a perfect Taiji symbol.
In this state, Su Han and Ei's strengths were interwoven. They were no longer two separate entities, but a singular, elevated force of nature.
"The techniques of the Immortal world are truly marvelous," Ei whispered, marveling at the new power circulating through her meridians.
Solitary Yin cannot grow; solitary Yang cannot give life. This was the Dao of Yin and Yang. Feeling this balance, Ei realized that her previous pursuit of "Eternity" through stagnation was almost laughable. If she were to unleash a Musou no Hitotachi in this state, Yashiori Island wouldn't just be scarred—it would be pulverized.
She had attained a sudden, profound enlightenment.
The two remained fused for a brief moment before separating. They didn't test any ultimate moves; both instinctively felt that a strike in this state would have terrifying, irreversible consequences for Teyvat's geography.
[The All-Heavens Chat Group]
Yae Miko: "My, my... I thought we'd see something spicy, but that's it? All that build-up for a quiet finish. Anti-climactic."
Raiden Ei: "If you want the Heavenly Principles to descend right now, Miko, we can fire off a shot. Shall we?"
Yae Miko: "Tch... never mind."
Hanachirusato: "You're so timid, little fox. After all that big talk, you fold instantly."
Raiden Ei: "Don't instigate her. We were only testing the resonance today. I'm going to cultivate now; I have much to contemplate."
Though she had just joined, Ei wasn't one for "idling" in the chat. She wanted to master her new weapon, the Yuehua Sword. Tomorrow, she would have Kujou Sara deliver the Musou Isshin to her sister, Makoto. Her path now belonged to the Moonlight.
Barbara: "So that was just a practice session? The Knights of Favonius were terrified! Some thought the moon was falling!"
Paimon: "Hehe... the moon isn't falling. But Paimon really wanted to see a big explosion!"
Su Han: "Enough chatter. I've updated the permissions. Jean is now the administrator for Mondstadt. We have more slots now, but let's be selective."
[The Tier 3 Upgrade]
Returning to the Jade Chamber, Su Han reviewed the changes. The Tier 3 upgrade was a massive leap toward the "Complete Form" of the group.
[System Update]:
Group Leader Authority: Automatically gain 30% of the points earned by members from missions.New Building: The Spiral Tower of Heavens. Members can spend 30,000 points once a month to challenge opponents and win rewards. (Tier 3 members only).Member Cap: Increased to 40.Bargain Area: Now offers two discounted items daily.Mall Addition: Dimensional World Gates. Can randomly summon a 1-Star to 4-Star world. Gates can be permanently fixed.
Su Han was particularly excited about the Dimensional Gates. If he got lucky and pulled a 4-Star Immortal World, the resources would be endless.
He also finalized the new roster. He had added fifteen people today:
Liyue: Yelan, Bosacius, Xiao, Yanfei.Mondstadt: Barbara, Noelle, Kaeya, Rosaria.Inazuma: Kujou Sara, Kuki Shinobu, Yoimiya, Kokomi, Gorou.Travelers: Lumine and Paimon.
He excluded Arataki Itto for now, fearing the man would spam the chat into oblivion—Kuki Shinobu would be his proxy.
Finally, he opened the Upgrade Grand Gift Pack.
[Ding! You have opened the Grand Gift Pack!]
Reward 1: One 4-Star World Permanent Dimensional Card.Reward 2: Two 5-Star Mission Refresh Cards.Reward 3: One "Secret Realm" Construction Blueprint.Reward 4: One "Biluo Azure Lotus" (Immortal Grade).
Su Han was ecstatic. He decided to use the Dimensional Card near Luhua Pool soon. The 5-Star cards were powerful but dangerous—he'd save those for when they were even stronger.
The Secret Realm Blueprint was exactly what the Jade Chamber needed. It would fuse the sprawling, "patchwork" islands—the Kunlun and Emei ruins—into a single, unified sanctuary that drew energy from the void.
But the final treasure was the most precious.
[Item]: Biluo Azure Lotus
[Grade]: Immortal
[Effect]: A sacred object of the Netherworld. It nourishes and repairs the soul.
"This is the perfect catalyst for Raiden Makoto," Su Han whispered. He didn't even need to force her to "consume" it. Placing her soul within the lotus would allow her to recover naturally. With just one petal, he could likely restore her to a complete spiritual body.
Liyue's future was looking brighter than ever.
