Chapter 11 - Azhdaha… Sealed Himself?!

The stream transitioned seamlessly into the Q&A segment.

[Ding! Question: Who sealed Azhdaha beneath the earth?]

A. The Geo Archon, Morax

B. The Anemo Archon, Barbatos

C. True Lord of Lifelong Virginity

D. Azhdaha himself

[Razor: New… question? Again?]

[Xingqiu: Wait—Azhdaha was sealed? (rubs chin)]

[Paimon: Who's this "True Lord of Lifelong Virginity" supposed to be?!]

[Madame Ping: Cloud Retainer, dear. In Inazuma, her title… becomes that unfortunate nickname. She would be furious if she heard it. Though… she has been single for thousands of years. @TheMishearingManiac]

[The Mishearing Maniac: o( ̄︶ ̄)o]

[Paimon: W-Wow… Grandma Ping really knows everything!]

[Yanfei: Of course she does! She's the most knowledgeable elder in Liyue.]

[Xiangling: +1! Best teacher ever!]

[Arataki Itto: Isn't it obvious? Must be Barbatos the Geo Archon!]

[Keqing: …Barbatos is the Anemo Archon. Morax is the Geo one. You USE his Mora every day, you potato-for-brains!]

[Barbara: Lord Barbatos would never attack another god! Take that back!]

[Arataki Itto: O-Oh! Right! Then it's Morax for sure! Bring me those rewards, baby!]

[Ningguang: Something tells me it's not that simple…]

[Beidou: Heh. Same thought here.]

This time, the question didn't just stir curiosity—

it ignited pandemonium across all of Teyvat.

Everyone now knew the rewards were real.

Which meant everyone wanted a piece.

Watatsumi Island — Resistance Camp

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in perfect formations.

The moment the Q&A appeared, Gorou barked orders with both paws on his hips like a general ready to seize destiny itself.

"Troops! Stand by! This time, we're going all in!"

His genius plan:

Relay all four answer choices to every soldier.

Have them evenly split and pick one each.

Statistically—25% would win.

If thousands of soldiers got Visions or power boosts?

The Resistance could FINALLY overpower the Shogunate.

Gorou puffed up his chest proudly.

"This is our breakthrough! Her Excellency will be proud! Our era begins now!"

"Always ready, sir!" the entire army roared.

Visions… strength… divine favor!

They could already imagine victory.

Then the system chimed:

[Ding! Warning: Any VIP who leaks answers to non-VIPs will be permanently expelled.

Non-VIPs who answer correctly will only receive 1 Mora.]

Silence.

Across the continents—

The Shogunate

The Millelith

The Knights of Favonius

Treasure Hoarders

Fatui cells

All froze as the same system alert hit.

Message received:

No cheating. No insider trading. No piggybacking.

Try anything funny → exile.

Public Chatroom

[Iron Tongue Tian: Wasn't Azhdaha killed in battle?]

[Fast-Blade Chen: HA! And you call yourself a Geo historian?]

[Dongsheng: Yeah right! You always say you know the Geo Lord best—guess that's fake too!]

[Old Zhang: Bet half your stories are made up anyway!]

[Iron Tongue Tian: YOU—! A storyteller does NOT fabricate! We simply… reconstruct forgotten truths! (turning red)]

Teyvat: collective laughter intensifies

[Cecilius: Maybe he got sealed because of that cursed dance.]

[Lawrence: So this livestream… is actually a history class?]

[Sumeru Scholar Cyril: Honestly, if he danced like that near me, I'd seal him too.]

[Momoyo Kujirai: Then the answer's obvious.]

[Shinnojou: Yeah, way too easy.]

Yinyuan Hall — Liyue

The Wanyan family mansion was thrown into chaos.

Wanyan, eldest daughter of the salt merchants, paced furiously.

"It MUST be Morax! Investigate! Verify it! Confirm it!"

To her, the Geo Archon was a traitor—

the one responsible for the death of the Salt God, Havria.

If he could betray one deity,

why not seal another?

"Search every possibility! Don't come back without the answer!"

"Yes, Miss!"

Dozens of retainers scattered like panicked pigeons.

The Chasm — Underground Mines

Azhdaha, in his human guise, glared at the screen.

"Isn't it obvious? Of course that bastard Morax did it!"

Humans shattered the leylines that sustained him.

And Morax—his old comrade—chose to protect those fragile insects over him.

Even worse, now there was that wretched video spreading everywhere.

But exposing Morax's misdeeds?

Now that was cathartic.

With absolute certainty, he chose:

Morax.Jueyun Karst — The Adepti Assemble

Mist swirled through the mountains.

The Adepti gathered, faces grim.

The mockery of Azhdaha was an insult to their ancient friend.

Mountain Shaper nearly flipped his whole mountain over in rage earlier, vowing to personally hunt down the "Misheard Demon."

But—

When the Q&A question appeared,

the Adepti fell silent.

Because they knew the truth.

And the fact that this system also knew…

That made it infinitely more dangerous.

Without hesitation, the Adepti who remembered the ancient tale selected:

Azhdaha sealed himself.Final Results
