After taking a shower, Lei Dianying changed his clothes and went to the deck with Fang Yun. This time she wore her own clothes, but there was nothing she could do. The maid didn't have time to go through the process of burning incense and bathing. She couldn't call Fang Yun over to change her clothes, right? She just wanted to gain points, and was far from wanting to bully the Son of God... Now this harmonious master-disciple relationship was already very good. Anyway, she can ride Fang Yun, but Fang Yun absolutely cannot ride the master. Fang Yun also felt it was okay. He really liked Ying's queen-like temperament. But for some reason, she always got stuck at the critical moment. Fortunately, she finally woke up today. However, neither of them mentioned the beautiful scene just now, because the warship had already arrived at Guyun Pavilion. The leading shogunate soldier pointed to the small island ahead and reported respectfully: "General, His Highness Fang Yun, the Lonely Cloud Pavilion of Liyue is ahead." Not only that, from the current position of the Ming Shen, it can even see the outline of Liyue Harbor in the distance. "Guoyun Pavilion..." Fang Yunheying walked to the front of the deck and looked into the distance. Having touched many kinds of divine authority, he could clearly feel the vast and majestic fluctuations of divine power. This is not surprising, because Guyun Pavilion is actually the handle of the rock spear thrown by Zhongli!
And under this island, there is another completely different breath of law... Although it is also in the realm of water elements, it is completely different from the creation he has come into contact with. The other side is more inclined to chaos and destruction. "That is the Demon of the Whirlpool - Osel." Ying's sight seemed to be able to pass through the barrier of the sea surface and see the Demon in the deep sea being pierced by the golden rock spear and nailed to the bottom of the sea. The other party suddenly became manic because he sensed the breath of her law. Unlike Orobas, although both are snakes, Osel has five snake heads, looks ferocious, and its body is completely made of water elemental force. Although Fang Yun had no perspective, he could probably guess Osel's actions by looking at the boiling and surging sea. Speaking of which, although Teyvat has the concept of "God loves the world", it does not mean that the demons are no longer a threat to humans, because for demons like Osel who tend to be in the chaos camp, killing humans is also a kind of love in their eyes. "Osel really doesn't have much reason, but he's easier to deal with this way." Ying snorted coldly, not trying to hide his divinity, and the sky was suddenly covered by heavy thunderclouds. Osel, who was roaring angrily just now, became quiet in an instant as if he had encountered a natural enemy. He could feel that Ying could really kill him easily. The gap between gods is even greater than the gap between mortals and gods! Fang Yun was also startled by Ying, and quickly reached out to grab her arm: "Wait, don't do it." "Why are you as anxious as that fox of the Son of God?" Ying let him grab her and explained unhappily, "I don't understand government affairs, but I know the importance of it. If Osel is really killed, let alone what will happen to Morax's plan, the pollution caused by the explosion of power in the body after the death of the demon god will cause Liyue and Inazuma to go to war." Fang Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she knew what was going on. The sea area of Guyun Pavilion was very close to Liyue Harbor. If there was any pollution from the demon god, the seafood in Liyue would most likely mutate. By that time, I'm afraid that all six countries will spread the news that Inazuma discharged the demonic wastewater, which would be a big trouble. They came to restore diplomatic relations, not to "declare war on Liyue Kingdom", "declare war on Zhidong Kingdom" or "declare war on Fontainebleau Kingdom". The six countries are all Fortunately, he had discussed it with Ying before, and the intelligence officer was still very rational. However, Ying couldn't help but frown when he said this: "Speaking of which, Morax's plan also has many loopholes. The power in the body of the demon god will definitely explode after his death. He himself knows this, so he tried his best to seal the demon gods in Liyue. But now, even if he faked his death, he can't cause demon god pollution." It can be said that any scholar who has studied the power of demons should have discovered this anomaly. "Forget it, let's go ask him directly. It seems that he has been waiting for us for a long time." Ying turned around and told the shogunate soldiers to sail normally, then pulled Fang Yun and turned into lightning and headed straight for Guyun Pavilion. Looking down from the sky, Fang Yun discovered that Guyun Pavilion was much larger than it looked from a distance, and there were actually many tribes established by the Qiuqiu people on it.
Perhaps because the rock elemental force was too strong, formless rock even condensed in the northwest corner. Zhongli was waiting for them here. He was dressed in an elegant black and gold suit. Compared to the "murderous Morax" when they met in Kanreya last time, his temperament seemed much calmer at this moment. He looked more like a handsome young man from an aristocratic family, and his whole person exuded a casual and leisurely vibe. Lei Dianying's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe that the noble man in front of him was Morax, who had made a name for himself as the God of War in Liyue, the most competitive district in the Demon War... Is this the power of wear and tear? Morax died in the fight with Zhongli. Why did I have this dream? "I never thought that after five hundred years, you would become like this, Morax." She was filled with emotion. Zhongli's gaze lingered on Ying and Fang Yun's clasped hands for a while, and he also said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after five hundred years, Baalzebub has changed a lot." When they met in Kanriya five hundred years ago, he was shocked to find out whose general Fang Yun belonged to. He could even make Yingdu obey his orders. This was something only Lei Dianzhen could do. He was extremely curious about Fang Yun, and this was also a factor. But now it seems that he still underestimated the relationship between the two. Ying then noticed Zhongli's gaze, but she did not show any shy or angry reaction. She just let go of Fang Yun's hand openly... In her opinion, Fang Yun had already been in the form of Ming Shen, and there was no need to explain too much to others. Anyway, she is not awesome! If she can stop others from coveting Fang Yun, Shenzi will have to thank her! Right? "No matter what, it's always a good thing to meet old friends. I was worried that you, Baalzebub, would never recover from this." Zhongli had a complicated expression. He was not in a hurry to talk about the present Liyue, but talked about the past... because Ying was one of the few old friends he could still talk to. "I'm still very sorry. Everyone in Kanreya was fighting on their own at that time, and it was really impossible to take care of Baal. After I returned to Liyue, Liyue was also in a mess. The Thousand Rock Army died countless people and was almost wiped out. Fushe also died because of this." "Barbatos was also helpless. After returning to Mondstadt, he and Tevarin fought against Durin, the Creation of Gold. Tevarin almost died, and he has been sleeping ever since." Ying listened to Zhongli's words in silence. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I have never blamed you. I am very grateful for the help you and Barbatos gave me back then. I came here this time to thank you. Otherwise, we would not have been able to save Husai Palace." “No need to be polite. I didn’t help much. Instead, it was Barbatos’s blessing of flowing wind that was the key.” Zhongli was still humble. "Perhaps Mondstadt really needs your help now... The dragon disaster in Mondstadt not long ago was actually manipulated by the Abyss Cult behind the scenes. They tried to lure Tevarin into the abyss, but fortunately a traveler named Ying stopped them and failed. But as far as I know, the Abyss Cult still has some plan for Mondstadt." "The Abyss Cult? What a coincidence! I came here this time with the intention of dealing with the Abyss Cult." Ying revealed his original plan. "The two countries of Liyue and Inazuma have restored diplomatic relations and trade, and we can also join forces militarily to strike at the Abyss Cult. They seem to have an important base in Liyue, so perhaps we can try to capture their [Prince]." Although he heard from Fang Yun that the prince had an extraordinary identity, Ying still didn't want to let Abyss go. According to that kid Fang Yun, once you are Wuliutuo, you will be Wuliutuo for the rest of your life! Zhongli did not comment: "I know a little about the Abyss Cult. They stole a Seven-Day Statue from Mondstadt and seem to be performing some kind of ritual. If you can help deal with it, it will be a great help to Liyue. However... you can only go to Qixing to discuss this matter." He knew that Ying would be confused, so without waiting for Ying to ask, Zhongli chuckled and said, "Baalzebub, you must be wondering why I became like this, right? Because Morax has fallen, and now I am called..." "Zhongli." Ying answered quickly. ? Zhongli was shocked. How did Ying know his name?
He originally thought that Ying's philosophy of governing the country was deviated because he saw Inazuma's seclusion from the outside world. Now it seems that he was wrong. Intelligence thunder movie? But it doesn’t matter. When Ying hears his plan next, he will definitely be shocked. He briefly explained that he had transformed into Zhongli and decided to start the test for Liyue, but unexpectedly, Ying remained expressionless. Zhongli thought she didn't understand the meaning of his arrangement, so he added: "I did this not just to test whether my people can defeat the demon, because..." "Because it is impossible to defeat the demon god, what you want to test is whether your people can make correct decisions and guide the direction of Liyue's development without your interference. After all, it is difficult for businessmen to guarantee their ruling stance when governing a country. The current situation can bring together all the undercurrents and best show where the problem lies." Ying continued to answer. Zhongli could no longer conceal the surprise on his face. Smart Ray movie? "Okay, Ying, that's enough." Fang Yun stopped her speechlessly, "Is it fun to repeat what I said again?" If you don’t know, you might think he is just padding the word count! Ying smiled playfully, "Huh, you don't understand. It's quite interesting to make Morax look like this." Seeing Ying so lively, Zhongli felt a little emotional, but he also realized the problem at this time, so he looked at Fang Yun. Fang Yun did not hide anything. He knew that the Emperor knew that he was an Adventer and also told him the information he had observed from outside the world. "I see... So, judging from your expression, my test was successful?" Zhongli quickly accepted the information and suddenly asked. "It was a success, but Liyue still has many problems. For example, after the fall of Morax, Liyue can no longer produce Morax. And with our joining, it is likely to affect your plan." Fang Yun said seriously, "I also want to talk to you this time and return the Rock Knot Green to you." however. In Fang Yun's surprised eyes, Zhongli just smiled and waved his hand at him: "No need, since it is a gift, there is no reason to take it back. It makes you sound like I, Morax, am short of money." "But I can't use this sword. No matter if it's the Seven Stars, the common people, or the immortals, they will definitely not ignore me if they know I have this sword. With our participation, the direction of Liyue will be hard to predict." "Of course I understand. But since I am going to let Liyue make its own decisions, including how Liyue will handle diplomatic relations, if the test that could have been successful fails because of fear of your joining, it only means that Liyue is not mature enough. You can use this sword." Zhongli smiled frankly and confidently: "Liyue is my creation, I still have some confidence in Liyue... Of course, you can't be too outrageous. If you kill Osel directly, there will be no way to end it. In addition, there is a Fatui named "Chief" who should not be killed for the time being. I still need him to join the game. As for the rest, it's up to you." Although he had used the young master's funds to go bird-watching, shopping, eating, drinking and having fun, and even prepared a grand funeral for himself, Zhongli would not regard the young master as a good person. It is true that Young Master is just a pawn between him and the Ice God, but Young Master is indeed acting with the attitude of "destroying Liyue". He is a qualified warrior of the Kingdom of Winterfell, but he is also a hidden danger to other countries. His hero is my enemy. After he finished speaking, Fang Yun and Ying looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at Zhongli's magnanimity. He clearly knew from Fang Yun that his test would succeed, but he still allowed Fang Yun and Ying to enter, without worrying at all that the test would fail. Ying sighed and said, "Morax, I am far inferior to you in governing a country." "No need to say that. As Fang Yun said, Liyue will still face many problems in the future. And I can see that you, Baalzebub, have already accepted the duty of a god... Having regained your courage and confidence, you will also lead the warrior nation of Inazuma to a new chapter." "Then I'll borrow your good words, Morax, no, Zhongli."
Fang Yun then asked: "I still have something to ask you, Zhongli... Do you know anything about the situation of Tianli?" "I'm sorry, I'm bound by a certain contract and cannot reveal this to you." Zhongli was not surprised. The last person who descended was crushed to ashes by the will of heaven and turned into the Heart of God. It would be strange if Fang Yun did not ask the will of heaven. He hinted, "In fact, judging from their attitude towards Heavenly Principle, the Seven Gods are all similar, so you don't have to worry about being isolated and helpless." In fact, Zhongli had already said it in a euphemistic way. As we all know, the Seven Rulings of the Earthly World is a system proposed by Heavenly Principle and run by an insider. "So, how do you think we can reduce the world's correction force?" Fang Yun told Zhongli about his last experience of changing history. "Well... I don't have any relevant experience, so I can only remind you one thing. For example, if Tianli wrote down a prophecy, although things will definitely happen according to her prediction, the result is not certain, because Tianli's vision also has blind spots." "The same is true for changing fate. If you want to save Raiden Shin, you don't necessarily have to bring her back to the present moment. It's also possible to keep her in the same state of [death] as she was in the past 500 years. After all...hasn't her divine body always been in Inazuma?" Fang Yun and Ying nodded thoughtfully, while Zhongli turned and left. He was not too surprised about Fang Yun's mention of changing history, because he already had some guesses before they met. But he did not ask Fang Yun to revive Fu She. It was not because he was heartless, but because... "I am still the God of Geo and the God of Contract. Before I completely resign myself to my responsibilities, I am Morax, not Zhongli." He sighed softly. The duties of the Rock God made him give up too many things. This was true a thousand years ago and it is still true a thousand years later. I want to buy some osmanthus flowers to mix with the wine, but it’s a pity...when will I see my old friend again? ... Not long after, Liyue Harbor. As the wealth center of Teyvat, the prosperity of Liyue Harbor is far beyond that of Inazuma's Port. Even at night, it is still brightly lit. Even though Liyue's business has been greatly shaken by the death of Geo Emperor, the docks are still crowded with merchant ships from various countries, and the workers on the docks are working hard to carry goods. But the careful Ying still noticed something was wrong. Although Liyue has been under martial law since the "Emperor was assassinated" two days ago, and even the Seven Stars have been assigned to go out, with only Ningguang and Keqing left behind to maintain the overall situation, the Thousand Rocks Army was far less numerous than it is now. From the pier to Yujing Terrace, there are soldiers guarding all the way, and they even cleared the East Pier near Guyun Pavilion, and there was a special ceremonial guard standing upright. Who is this to welcome? Yingmei was a little curious. She hadn't eaten yet today because she had a premonition that she would soon embark on an important legendary mission. Could it be that it would appear here? You know, even the legendary mission of the god Wendy didn't make her so excited, as if it would be related to her future destiny. Could it be the chapter related to her? What should the chapter be called then? "Perhaps, there is still a chance to find clues about my brother." Ying secretly encouraged herself. At this time, more and more people noticed the changes in the dock, and many discussions were heard. "Who are they going to welcome? Is Qixing crazy? Instead of investigating the emperor's return to heaven, he actually wants to make such a big fuss?"
"Yes, I suspect that there are problems with the Seven Stars. It's fine that they hid the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration after the Emperor was assassinated, but Ningguang and the others made so much money, but they were not even willing to hold a ceremony to send off the Immortals for the Emperor? Or was it the Wangsheng Hall that organized it themselves?" "That's not the case. Have you forgotten? A few days ago, officials from Inazuma arrived at Yujingtai and said that Inazuma had lifted the isolation of the country. General Raiden and Emperor Mingshen will soon visit Liyue to restore diplomatic relations. Judging from the time, they should be here. Welcoming the gods should be done with the greatest standard." "So it's General Raiden. That makes sense. After all, Inazuma, Liyue, and Mondstadt have always been on good terms." "What a joke! If you ask me, there must be something wrong with General Raiden! As soon as Inazuma lifted the lockdown, the Emperor fell as soon as they arrived. How could it be such a coincidence!" "Even if it has nothing to do with them, it's still the bad luck they brought!"
