Chapter 860 At this crucial moment
Before Kong could speak, Paimon blurted it out.
"It's called Dumeny, which means 'hope'."
“Shinoning said that creating an ancient name means inscribing someone’s heroic deeds, and adventures outside of Nata don’t count. We were worried that the deeds recorded in the ‘Holy Night Travelogue’ wouldn’t be recognized by the Great Spirit of the Night God’s Kingdom, and we were even thinking of fighting hard to kill monsters in this great battle to meet the Great Spirit’s standards…”
"But later, Xinoning said that the Great Spirit readily recognized Kong's qualifications, and even during the creation process, the Great Spirit's power supported her throughout. This was an unprecedented exception, so the Ancient Name was created very smoothly..."
Xu Ning sneered.
How could the guy guarding down there not approve?
It had already clearly witnessed the same trajectory of fate once, so how could it doubt Kong's qualifications?
If even emptiness is not qualified, then no one in this world is qualified.
But its ancient name is actually... "Hope"?
Not satisfied with having a "savior," they still demand additional "hope," constantly taking without giving back, and even hoping for the favor of fate.
Xu Ning looked up at the fiery figure standing in mid-air. The one below had lived for so long, but he was actually far inferior to the God of Fire above. At least the God of Fire knew that victory had to be won by his own hands.
But, of all times...
If we could wait another year or two, all the preparations would be basically complete by then, right?
Realizing that he too had begun to place his hopes on hopeless fantasies, Xu Ning took a big gulp of wine.
"There's no point in overthinking it. We'd better help Nata end this invasion quickly before worrying about anything else."
Xu Ning's sudden, seemingly random statement caught Paimon off guard. Paimon, who was showing off his ancient name, was taken aback and couldn't understand why this drunkard was suddenly getting so worked up.
However, it still didn't get to be Xu Ning's turn to get fired up.
Because the two in the sky lit up first.
Perhaps because he sensed the rapidly disappearing abyssal aura below, the Lord of the Abyss, who seemed to have opened an evil eye high in the sky, became extremely angry.
Within the enormous hole, it seemed as if fragments of space were shattering, and a purplish-black abyssal aura poured in as if it were free. The monsters on the ground seemed to have received a boost, not only growing larger but also increasing in ferocity exponentially.
But that's not the most frightening thing.
As the edges of the spatial rift expanded, it seemed as if a colossal creature was about to squeeze through the hole.
What's wrong with that brute's brain? He was invincible and unbeatable just a second ago, and now he's trying to show his health bar. Isn't that just plain crazy?
They've endured this for so long, yet they can't even wait this last bit longer. They haven't been beaten in thousands of years, they've gotten too cocky!
Meanwhile, Lord Vulcan over there seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
As the enormous figure began to appear, the sun totem behind her suddenly burst into flames, and scorching rays pierced down from the sky, slowly dissolving the darkness in the light.
But that wasn't all. More flames gathered on the Vulcan's slowly raised right hand. As the temperature of the flames continued to rise, they changed from red to gold, and then to an incandescent light that was impossible to look at directly.
Then he threw a punch.
The Abyss Lord who had just tried to squeeze through seemed not to have expected that the Fire God in front of him would unleash such a powerful attack. In haste, he quickly constructed three massive black shields with mysterious patterns to block in front of him.
The incandescent flames and the power of the abyss collided fiercely in the center of the sky.
The giant shield shattered without any resistance!
But the power of this punch didn't stop there. After shattering the three giant shields, it actually pierced straight through the space where the Lord of the Abyss was located, revealing the dark universe outside and some broken celestial debris.
Countless people on the battlefield stopped fighting, staring blankly at this sight they had never seen before.
Although they all knew that Lord Vulcan possessed unparalleled power, no one would believe that a single punch could kill the Lord of the Abyss who had haunted Teyvat for thousands of years.
However, it was quite obvious that the master of the abyss had clearly retreated; it did not dare to fully withstand the punch from the God of Fire.
What shocked everyone even more was that the shattered sky slowly closed up like a curtain, gradually obscuring the dark starry sky and celestial debris outside. The sky, which had lost its abyssal aura, once again returned to its clear and blue expanse.
But at this moment, the countless people on the continent of Teyvat who were looking at the sky were no longer blinded by the clear sky before them, but instead cast their gaze into the more distant depths.
"The False Heaven..."
Although many people had this word on their minds, those on the battlefield of Nata knew that now was not the time to dwell on such things.
Lord Vulcan, fueled by the power of his previous punch, waved his hand from high above, shouting, "Full-force counterattack!"
At this moment, all the warriors throughout Nata received the orders from Lord Vulcan.
The warriors in the wilderness were doing their best to clear out the remnants of the abyss, while the ancient name holders waiting in the Holy Flame Arena brandished their weapons and charged into the Holy Flame.
One by one, figures appeared in the Kingdom of the Night God. Those who could come here with ancient names were all outstanding individuals from their respective tribes, and were also members of the victorious teams in each Holy Flame Returning to Night Pilgrimage.
Everyone has a clear understanding of their mission here.
"Quickly clear away all monsters, find and destroy the hidden abyssal gates and abyssal tumors, and clear the way for Lord Vulcan!"
"During the battle up there, our tribesmen said that the Liyue people possessed a divine artifact capable of breaking through the Boundary Gate and the Tumor Stone. It seemed to be some kind of wine; if you splashed it on it, it would quickly open a gap, making destruction much easier..."
The speaker was one of the warriors from the Flowing Springs Clan.
"We saw it too; each of those soldiers was carrying a small gourd with them, and we borrowed a few from them..."
These are some clever suspended log warriors.
"Well done, give us a few..." These were the familiar Echoes members.
"Bullshit, there aren't many of them..."
Xu Ning stood behind the group with a helpless expression. "Alright, stop arguing. Each team should take a jar and use it sparingly... If anyone is found to be too deeply corrupted by the Abyss, they should take a couple of sips and then get out of here as quickly as possible."
Everyone turned around and recognized the leader of the Liyue Thousand Rock Army. After thanking him with great joy, they snatched up all the jars that had been scattered on the ground.
"You big drunkard, what are you doing here?"
