Azhdaha immediately felt the restraints limiting him being removed. He excitedly opened his gaping maw, roaring madly, ready to unleash his ferocity and teach those annoying gnats who had caused him so much suffering a lesson. After that, he would go settle the score with Morax.
However, after he had vented his anger, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. The space he was currently in seemed to have some issues?
This was an endless space. Other than a few regular rectangular steps under his feet, it was completely empty. There was no sun, no moon, and no other living beings.
At this moment, Azhdaha was surprised to find that he couldn't feel the Ley Line's response beneath his feet! As Teyvat's Geo element Dragon King, as long as his feet touched the earth, he could draw endless power from the Ley Lines. This was one of the reasons he claimed to be as old as the earth itself.
As long as he had the earth as a backup resource, he feared nothing, especially not prolonged battles. If one truly wanted to defeat or kill him, the first step would be to sever his connection with the earth. However, with Azhdaha's mountain-like body, making his four feet leave the ground was simply unrealistic.
Back then, Lord Rex Lapis and the three Adepti fought together with the maddened Azhdaha, from The Chasm all the way to Nantianmen. The main reason they were able to successfully suppress him was actually because Azhdaha himself recalled his contract with Morax during the battle, his sanity temporarily returned, and then he willingly allowed himself to be sealed.
Otherwise, successfully sealing him would certainly not have been so easy; it would have caused some casualties at least.
After realizing that his connection with the Ley Lines was severed, Azhdaha seemed a bit bewildered. Immediately after, he discovered another big problem: this space didn't even have elemental energy, which meant that he was now in a space where he couldn't replenish his energy.
"Human! Where is this?" Azhdaha's piercing voice echoed through the boundless space, but there wasn't even an echo.
"This is my Kamui Dimension, and it doesn't belong to Teyvat. Do you like this place, Azhdaha?"
"What do you mean by this? Do you just want to imprison me in a different place?"
"That depends on you. If you can honestly obey me and be used by me, then I can let you continue to live in Teyvat. But if you cause trouble for me in Teyvat, then I can only keep you locked in here permanently.
This place is different from under your previous Dragon-Queller Tree. Here, there are neither Ley Lines nor natural energy for you to absorb. Your massive body also means a massive energy consumption. If you don't have the Ley Lines, which you rely on for survival, as an energy supplement, how long can you last here?"
"You... despicable!"
"This isn't even despicable. It's just that if a weak human wants to cooperate with a great dragon, they must be prepared not to be bitten back. You need to think clearly. You have already signed a spiritual contract with me. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, as long as I am in this space, I can teleport you back here at any time."
"Then am I not just being imprisoned in a different place? I still haven't gained freedom."
"Freedom? Is there any true freedom in this world? Moreover, ever since the First Throne Phanes seized your dragon world, the current Teyvat is truly a human world. If you still want to run rampant in Teyvat, let alone the gods and the Heavenly Principles stopping you, I will also stop you.
Before, you couldn't even turn over. Actually, my demands are not high. You only need to help me when I need it. As for the rest of the time, whether you want to travel Teyvat or sleep soundly underground, as long as you don't do anything excessive, I will let you be."
"Is that true? What if I go to seek revenge on Morax?"
"As long as your battle doesn't affect the life and property safety of civilians, I'll let you be. This is a grudge between the two of you. However, Morax is no longer the God of Geo."
"Hmm? Has he died? No! If he had died, the power of the Geo pillars sealing me would also disappear."
"He gave up his divine position as the God of Geo, handed over his Gnosis, and by feigning death, moved from the front to behind the scenes. Now, he chooses to integrate into Liyue as an ordinary human."
"You know where he is? Tell me quickly! I want to avenge this thousand-year suppression."
"I won't tell you. If you want to find him, go find him yourself. However, if I find out that you are trying to harm Liyue to force Morax to appear, then I will immediately teleport you back here to reflect honestly! Think carefully!"
Yuto's words made Azhdaha very wary. He was only neurotic due to memory loss, which didn't mean he was truly foolish. Creatures that have lived for thousands of years have all become cunning; there are no truly foolish ones.
At this moment, he had already realized that the contract he had signed before was problematic and greatly restricted him. More importantly, he had never expected this human to have such a backup plan—a strange space that didn't belong to the continent of Teyvat, which directly cut off his path to replenish energy.
After much deliberation, Azhdaha sighed and said helplessly, "Human, I acknowledge you! Tell me your name."
"Uchiha Mikage!"
At this time, under the Dragon-Queller Tree in Nantianmen, Liyue's strongest forces were gathered. Lord Rex Lapis stood at the very front, looking at the Dragon-Queller Tree he had personally planted, his thoughts in turmoil. Behind him, Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver, Cloud Retainer, Vigilant Yaksha, as well as Ganyu and Madame Ping from Liyue Harbor, all stood silently behind the Lord.
Except for the Lord and Mountain Shaper, everyone else was puzzled by the Lord's sudden summons. However, when they arrived at the Dragon-Queller Tree, they immediately realized the problem.
Where was the dragon? Where did such a large dragon go? Did he break through the seal and escape?
Everyone present knew Azhdaha. After all, he was once a retainer of the Lord and had made great contributions to the construction of Liyue. In addition, his strength was not inferior to the Lord's. In terms of seniority, status, and strength, he was superior to the Adepti present.
However, the great war a thousand years ago had put them on Azhdaha's opposing side. They also knew well what kind of disaster an uncontrollable Azhdaha would cause to Liyue. It was no exaggeration to say that if Azhdaha merely turned over or rolled around in Liyue Harbor, Liyue Harbor would have to be rebuilt.
The impatient Cloud Retainer was the first to confront Mountain Shaper, "Mountain Shaper, what's going on? Azhdaha broke free from the seal, and you didn't react at all, even though you live right next to him."
