Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 361 Heaven Grants Power, Yan Li Tests the Waters

"Am I the ruler of life...? But the word 'gamble' coming from your mouth is rather novel. Although I have this suspicion as well, well... for the sake of a bright future, I'll gamble with you."

After a moment's thought, Zhongli told Lei Dianzhen his entire plan.

The scene changes.

Sky Island, a sacred temple.

"Lord Tianli, please forgive my impertinence, but since the laws of life have been left unruly, the vitality of the Teyvat continent has been declining, and even the World Tree's growth is not optimistic."

"Hmph, Paimon is currently missing, and I cannot go to the land to eliminate the other threats in advance... How cunning, willing to give up everything in order to restrict me."

After giving a cold snort, Tenri clenched his fist and muttered to himself.

"Asmodeus, you no longer need to guard the spatial energy pillar; I will keep an eye on Sky Island. As for you, I will entrust my spatial authority to you as well. You must unite with the Abyss to conquer Nata for me. Since Kong claims he was driven away by the Abyss, I want to see his tricks. Remember, if the Abyss dares to disobey, you will capture either Ying or Kong as leverage to coerce them. If Kong's departure from the Abyss is true, then you can easily capture Kong; if Kong's departure from the Abyss is false, then you can use Ying as a hostage."

Upon hearing this, Asmodeus gasped, then remained silent for a second before quickly nodding in response.

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission."

Immediately, Asmodeus received the spatial power cube passed down by the Heavenly Principle, then turned and left Sky Island.

However, before entering the abyss, Asmodeus stopped and began to think.

"Sir, your actions are putting too much pressure on the ground, but I have no choice but to comply, otherwise I might fall into the trap you've set. What should I do?"

However, after thinking for a moment, Asmodeus touched his chest, then looked up at the sky, his gaze even becoming somewhat dazed.

A few seconds later, Asmodeus seemed to have made up his mind, snapped back to reality, and teleported to the headquarters of the Abyss Order.

At this moment, only Yan Li remained within the Abyss Order to guard its main branch.

Asmodeus's arrival startled Yan Li.

"you……"

Where is emptiness?

Looking at the bewildered Yanli, Asmodeus asked.

"To be able to enter the Abyss Order so easily, this aura... you are the one who kidnapped Kong last time—the Spatial Ruler!"

Recalling Kong's words after he returned, Yan Li belatedly realized what had happened.

"Why does the Lord of Space have time to visit my Abyss? Could it be... that Heavenly Principle has discovered our plan?"

"Cooperate with me in attacking Nata; this is Tianli's order."

Asmodeus responded simply.

“Well… since you’ve spoken, I naturally have no right to refuse—however, this place is a very important area of ​​the abyss. If I don’t guard it and something goes wrong, Kong and Iman will definitely blame me. How about this, I’ll send half of my elite troops to you, and you can lead them into war?”

After rolling her eyes, Yan Li replied cautiously.

As the last guardian of the abyss, Yan Li had to ensure that the person in front of her might be an imposter of Tian Li. Therefore, she... had no choice but to make this arrangement to avoid luring outsiders away from the core world and destroying their millennia-old foundation.
