However, although both sides were temporarily unable to defeat each other, if the stalemate continued, Phantylia's defeat was inevitable.

After all, this was the Xianzhou's home turf... But!

Would a certain Aeon of Elation truly have the patience to wait for them to decide a winner?

Of course not; Aha was still waiting to watch the fun with everyone.

The people of the Xianzhou were the most essential part of this fun.

And so... the tension and seriousness on the battlefield were incinerated by a sudden gust of Joy.

Excitement, madness, and pleasure enveloped everyone's hearts... "Fighting and killing is truly boring... Let Aha decide who the final winner will be~"

Everyone present, whether from Jing Yuan's side or Phantylia's, felt their hearts tighten.

This arrival was not a good thing... Everyone tried their best to maintain their facial expressions, but they still couldn't help their lips curving upwards... "The Lord of Changsheng Heaven... how could he appear here..."

"Oh my god... I must have been tricked by Phantylia; I'm hallucinating and seeing the Aeon of Elation here..."

March 7th said in disbelief.

However, Aha wasn't concerned with these trivial matters right now... After a brief thought, Aha decided... "Aha has a good idea! Aha will play 'point and pick,' and whoever Aha points to, Aha will elbow them flying~"

"How about it? Isn't it fair? Of course, it'll still be 'point and pick' even if it's not fair, hehe..."

Upon hearing this... Jing Yuan's heart sank... "It won't be by counting heads, will it? We have a lot of people on our side... that's not fair..." March 7th's voice trembled, clearly nervous... "Good idea! We'll count by heads... hehe."

The Xianzhou people instantly sounded alarm bells... "We didn't mean it..."

But everyone ignored March 7th's remark; after all, if this Aeon wanted to have fun with them, Aha could find a reason no matter what... It was simply a matter of whether Aha wanted to or not, and it wasn't something one person or one sentence could change... After looking at everyone, Aha began his performance... "Here we go~"

As Aha spoke, some Imaginary energy converged, forming something resembling a conductor's baton... Then, as Aha recited word by word, it began to point at everyone... "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger by its toe, if it hollers let it go, eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

Finally, it pointed at... Stelle!

"Hiss~" Even Stelle couldn't help but gasp at this moment... The rest of the crowd also felt their hearts tighten repeatedly, as if they had never been so nervous in their lives... Only Phantylia, whose already upturned lips now completely dropped any pretense... "Hahahaha..."

Then, Stelle, as if her brain had glitched, blurted out:

"Aha, give me some face, huh..."

Everyone present was also stunned... However... "Face! Your face must be given! It is your face that is given!" Then, before anyone could react...

Phantylia turned into a meteor...

And was elbowed away by Aha...

It seemed that as Phantylia flew away, she was still laughing loudly... "Hehe, I'm off, off to watch the fun~"

Meanwhile, a figure countless light-years away silently lowered the longbow aimed at Aha...

After a long while, everyone finally came back to their senses.

"Did we... win?" March 7th asked uncertainly.

"Phantylia's connection to the Ambrosial Arbor has been severed... She herself has already... flown away from the Luofu..."

Jing Yuan replied, but from his expression, one could still see some lingering bewilderment... "This Aeon of Elation's conduct is indeed different from other Aeons..." Welt also said with emotion... If Aha had truly intended to strike at Stelle then, even he would have been helpless; he couldn't stop it, nor could he react in time... "That was so dangerous! Good thing Stelle, uh... what was that phrase again? Desperate times call for desperate measures?" March 7th scratched her head, covering up her forgetfulness... "That's called my clever intelligence taking the high ground!" Stelle put her hands on her hips, looking smug as if she were the most brilliant person there.

"You, I didn't mean to belittle you!"

"Will Phantylia die?" Feixiao asked Jing Yuan with a serious expression.

"Given that Aeon's personality... most likely not... but she probably just won't die; other consequences are hard to say..."

Jing Yuan pondered for a moment before giving what he considered the most rigorous answer.

"Since it's over, may I... General of the Luofu, take Blade and leave?"

Just then, Kafka appeared quietly and asked Jing Yuan, who was deep in thought.

"Of course, you may. This time, he bravely assisted the Luofu, so the Luofu will naturally not apprehend an ally who helped the Xianzhou. Take him away."

While the post-battle summary was still ongoing here, Jingliu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary... She hadn't noticed anything during the battle, but after the battle ended... she found her body feeling remarkably light... Normally, every time she swung her sword, she had to expend energy to suppress her Mara-Struck state, but this time... it was exceptionally easy, making her feel like... she had become several hundred years younger?

She kept thinking... and finally remembered the black-robed figure... At this moment, she had a bold guess... "Could it be..."

Just then... 「Elio: Is the battle over? I'm going to give you some bombshell news. Next time, it'll be about him~」

「Jing Yuan: Oh? You specifically waited for us? Could it be a major event concerning the Xianzhou?」

「Fu Xuan: But this Head of the Divination Commission has not recently divined any major events concerning the Luofu.」

「Aha: Aha promises, this is true...」

「March 7th: Uh... it's precisely because you promise that it seems less true, isn't it?」

「Sparkle: Aha is already so humble, what more do you want~ Putting facts aside, how can you not believe Aha~ Hehe...」

「Tail: @Sparkle, outrageous!」

「Xiadie: I seem to have inspiration for a new work...」

「Xianzhou Passerby A: Huh? Again?」

「Cloud Knights: No need to panic, we will protect the Xianzhou and ensure ordinary citizens are not in danger.」

「Jade: The outcome of this battle was as expected...」

「Elio: Alright, alright, if my boss hadn't certified this, I wouldn't believe Aha either.」

「Fu Xuan: @Elio, what exactly is it?」

「Qingque: Is it really a big deal? Could it be that it's not that urgent, so the Head of the Divination Commission doesn't know?」

「Silver Wolf: @Qingque, if March 7th said that, I'd believe it.」

「March 7th: Huh?」

「Elio: The matter of a genius hidden in the shadows, is that a big deal?」

「Stelle: Average~ Aren't geniuses always available to meet~」

「Himeko: This child...」

「Elio: What if I told you that, in the future, he successively attacked three Xianzhou Generals?」
