Su Han naturally had no idea what fate had befallen Yae Miko inside that room. Nor did he particularly want to know.
He was currently in the rear gardens of Tenshukaku, preparing for the most important meeting of the month: The Points Shop Refresh.
They had completed their 25th mission. They had a Level 3 Member (Beidou). The shop had leveled up.
The only problem? Resurrection was expensive. Reviving Bosacius and Kitsune Saiguu had completely drained the group's treasury. They were broke.
So, this meeting wasn't about "what to buy now." It was about "what to save for."
[Tenshukaku Gardens – Evening]
The evening breeze was cool and refreshing.
Most of the group had gathered, except for the combat junkies still testing their Zanpakuto in the Serenitea Pot. The decision-makers of Liyue, Mondstadt, and Inazuma were all present.
Ningguang smiled as Su Han arrived. "Finished with your... resurrection rituals?"
"Yes. Bosacius should wake up tomorrow. As for Hanachirusato... cough... she's already awake and having a 'heart-to-heart' with Yae Miko."
Raiden Ei's eyes lit up. "Saiguu is awake? I must go see her!"
She stood up abruptly.
"Wait, don't—" Su Han tried to stop her.
Too late. The Electro Archon vanished in a flash of lightning.
Three seconds later.
"EEEEEEEEEK! Ei! SAVE ME! HELP!"
"Hahahaha! Scream louder, little fox! No one is coming to save you! Ei, stay out of this! I'm disciplining my junior!"
Silence returned.
One minute later, Raiden Ei reappeared in the garden, looking slightly traumatized but sitting down calmly.
Mona leaned over, whispering. "Uh... why didn't the Shogun save her?"
"Simple," Su Han deadpanned. "Because Yae Miko pranks Ei all the time. This is divine retribution."
"Pfft... hahahaha!" Mona covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.
"Alright," Su Han clapped his hands. "Let's focus. Open the System Shop."
A holographic screen appeared before everyone.

Su Han nodded. These were powerful. But then, he scrolled down.
Because he was the Leader, and Beidou was Rank 3, a new tab had opened.

Su Han stared at the screen.
"Hey," he asked the group. "Are you guys seeing this Tier 4 item? No reaction?"
everyone looked confused.
"Tier 4?" Ayaka tilted her head. "I only see up to Tier 3."
"Me too," Jean confirmed.
"Wait," Ningguang frowned. "Is this a Leader privilege? Or..."
Su Han checked the fine print.
Access Restricted: Only Group Leader and Level 3 Members can view Tier 4.
"Ah, I see. It's hidden for you guys. Beidou should be able to see it."
"Show us!" Hu Tao demanded. "Is it something super scary? The price must be insane!"
"Fine." Su Han took a screenshot and posted it to the group chat.

Silence.
Then, the chat exploded.
Xiangling: "What is this?! 'Seal an entire plane of existence'?! Is this a Genesis Artifact?"
Hu Tao: "Holy... 15 MILLION POINTS?! Even with a discount, that's impossible! We're broke!"
Ganyu: "My horns are tingling... suppressing gods and immortals? Is this stronger than an Archon?"
Eula: "Stronger? Su Han, if Venti stood in front of this thing, would he survive?"
Diluc: "I feel like Barbatos would be sucked in instantly."
Rosalyne: "+1. This is a weapon that kills gods."
Ningguang: "Su Han, the description mentions 'three artifacts standing above the rest.' What are the other two? I'm curious."
Jean: "Me too."
Su Han leaned back, looking at the stars.
"Well, first is the Donghuang Bell. It contains the power of 'World Creation.' Legend has it that the Bell created the Mountain and Sea World and the Cloud World. It creates realities."
"Second is the Pangu Axe. It has the power to 'Split the Heavens.' It cuts through space, time, and dimensions. Nothing can block it."
"And the third is the Haotian Tower. It represents 'Suppression.' If the Bell creates and the Axe destroys, the Tower rules. It traps everything."
"Oh, and by the way... the Donghuang Bell has a spirit. She's a terrifying woman who could probably suppress the Seven Archons with one hand."
The garden fell dead silent.
The scale of the Multiverse had just expanded again.
