One second passed...
One minute passed...
Seeing that Yun Fan had yet to make a move, Ei furrowed her brows slightly, her mind racing with thoughts. Why wasn't he acting? Did he have reservations? Or was he waiting for her to take her own life?
With this thought, Ei closed her eyes, summoned Musou Isshin once more, and reversed her grip on the blade, bringing it to her neck.
Clang!
Ei opened her eyes in confusion, looking at Yun Fan, who had caught the blade with his hand. "Why?" she asked.
"Why? I should be asking you what you're doing!" The silver-haired youth sighed, rubbing his forehead. He had only been checking a notification from the Void Archives, and in the blink of an eye, this stubborn country bumpkin was trying to harm herself.
"You don't want my life?"
"Is your life that valuable?"
"..." The Raiden Shogun fell silent. If he didn't want her life or the position of the Electro Archon, what did he want?
Seeing Ei's silence, Yun Fan understood her thoughts and spoke directly. "You can continue being the Electro Archon. I have no interest in the position. However, in exchange, I'll take your Gnosis."
"Agreed." Ei didn't hesitate. After all, the Gnosis was of little importance to her. Moreover, during her battle with Yun Fan, she had used the Gnosis to gather the faith of Inazuma's people, draining its power. Now, it was nothing more than an empty shell formed by the laws of the world.
"Good." Yun Fan took the Gnosis and casually tossed it into his personal space. The laws contained within it held little significance for him—not even worth having the Void Archives analyze it. The lightning power controlled by the Jing Yuan character card far surpassed that of the Gnosis.
Hum—
With the battle over, Yun Fan had no reason to maintain his Finality form. The surging Honkai energy gradually dissipated from his body, and he returned to his original appearance.
"What are your plans now?" the silver-haired youth asked with interest.
"Repeal the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree, and reorganize the Tri-Commission." As she spoke, a sharp glint of killing intent flashed in Ei's eyes, and her grip on Musou Isshin tightened. But soon, her hand relaxed, and her eyes filled with unmistakable guilt. "Then I will do everything in my power to compensate the people of Inazuma and heal their wounds."
"Is that so?" Yun Fan didn't say much more. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Yae Miko, Kamisato Ayato, and the others on the ground below, his mind racing with thoughts.
With his actions, the Inazuma storyline seemed to have come to an abrupt conclusion. Wouldn't that mean Lumine's journey here was for nothing?
"Hmm... I'll stay in Inazuma for a while longer. Give me an official position too. Let me think... Hiiragi Shinsuke, that old fool, was crushed to death by the collapsing Tenshukaku. That means the position of the Kanjou Commissioner is vacant... I've decided. I'll take the Kanjou Commissioner's position. How about it?" Yun Fan turned his gaze back to Ei.
"Agreed." Ei was puzzled. He had just refused the position of the Electro Archon, yet now he was asking for the role of the Kanjou Commissioner. Did he value this position more than that of the Electro Archon?

"Ei!"
"Your Excellency!" x2
After receiving Ei's approval, Yun Fan immediately teleported away. The position of the Kanjou Commissioner wasn't urgent—after all, it was just a toy to him.
Today's battle had caused the collapse of Tenshukaku, the symbol of divine authority. Yae Miko had used the Gnosis to connect with nearly all of Inazuma's people. It wouldn't be long before this event spread across all seven nations. Such a massive mess? Yun Fan decided to leave it to Yae Miko and the others to deal with.
"Hmm." Ei responded to the greetings of the three with a simple nod, then got straight to the point with Yae Miko. "Yae, I will reorganize the Tri-Commission!"
Gasp—
Hearing this, the Kamisato siblings couldn't help but inhale sharply. They didn't know what had prompted the Raiden Shogun to make such a decision. After all, when she said "reorganize the Tri-Commission," that included the Yashiro Commission.
Strictly speaking, the Yashiro Commission was an official position, with Kamisato Ayato as its current head. Ayaka, Thoma, and the Shuumatsuban all belonged to the Yashiro Commission's faction. They didn't believe that Ei's reorganization would only target the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission.
"Reorganize the Tri-Commission?" Yae Miko was also surprised by Ei's sudden declaration, but soon a relieved smile appeared on her face. My silly Shogun has finally come to her senses.
"Yes, Ei, I support you. However, there's no need to overhaul the entire Tri-Commission. The Kanjou Commission and the Tenryou Commission are the main culprits behind Inazuma's suffering. The Yashiro Commission has always been loyal. In fact, without the Yashiro Commission, Inazuma would be in an even worse state than it is now!" Yae Miko sighed, her tone tinged with sadness and deep emotion.
"I am aware of this." Ei nodded. Earlier, Yun Fan had said something similar to Yae Miko. The Kamisato siblings were entirely trustworthy, and he had even mentioned...
"Kamisato Ayato, heed my command!"
"Your servant is here!" Kamisato Ayato quickly bowed in response.
"I order you to thoroughly investigate the crimes committed by the Kanjou Commission and the Tenryou Commission. Arrest all those involved and await further judgment. If anyone dares to resist... you have my permission to execute them on the spot!"
"As you command, Your Excellency!" Kamisato Ayato responded firmly, unable to hide the excitement and fervor in his voice. He knew that after this, the Yashiro Commission's status in Inazuma would rise to unprecedented heights.
"Kamisato Ayaka, heed my command!"
"Your servant is here!" Ayaka was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected the Shogun to call her name, but her excellent upbringing allowed her to react quickly.
"During the recent battle, Hiiragi Shinsuke perished. The position of the Kanjou Commissioner is of great importance and cannot remain vacant..."
