As expected, the other party already knew the whereabouts of him and Ye Lan.
However, Si Bailu didn't hide anything. Instead, he smiled and praised:
"As expected of an emperor, his power is still as powerful as before.
“But I’m not just here to say hello.
"Also because of my interest in the earthly locks in your hands."
"Oh? Do you recognize this item?" Zhongli looked at the man in surprise.
Si Bailu scratched his head modestly: "I was lucky enough to see it in ancient books."
Zhongli laughed twice without any fluctuation in his voice:
"It is indeed a lock on earth. Why are you interested in it?"
"I see you frowning and thinking hard.
"It seems that I still can't unlock the secret of this earthly lock, so I became a little curious.
"After all, you are the oldest demon in Teyvat.
"What a strange thing it is that the lock cannot be opened even with your knowledge and wisdom!
"Can I be brave enough to borrow this rare thing?"
Zhongli fell silent in a rare moment. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile:
"Are you trying to take it away from me?"
Hearing this, Si Bailu suddenly laughed awkwardly:
"How could that be? I really just want to share your worries for you, the Emperor.
"I think the secret hidden in this lock should be very important to you, right?
"Maybe with my identity and knowledge from another world, I can have unexpected effects?"
Zhongli took a deep look at the young man.
As a true god of the sixth level, he could naturally see what was unique about Si Bailu.
Not only because the other party is a visitor from another world, but also because there is power hidden in the other party that even he cannot reach...
After hesitating for two seconds, Zhongli still shook his head:
"Thousands of years have passed, and the secrets inside are no longer that important to me.
"Perhaps this feeling of being deciphered but unable to be solved is more of a nostalgia for me."
Looking at Zhongli's slightly sad expression.
Si Bailu's sudden words made the true god slightly moved:
"If hidden in this earthly lock is the possibility of bringing that earthly king back to life...
"Are you still unwilling to unravel its secret?"
Zhongli looked at the man in astonishment. His eyes, which had been silent for thousands of years, showed violent fluctuations for the first time!
But soon, he suppressed some of the expectations in his heart and shook his head slightly:
"Thousands of years have passed, even if we can really revive her.
"For her, isn't it cruel?"
Hearing this, Si Bailu's face instantly turned cold:
"Your Majesty, please allow me to say something rude.
“I feel like you can’t impose your ideas on other people.
"How do you know she doesn't want to be resurrected or come back to you?
"If she really loves you, I think even if she is reincarnated for a hundred lifetimes, she will still want to come back to you!"
Zhongli, an old bachelor, was speechless by Si Bailu's accusation.
After a moment, he shook his head dejectedly:
"Sigh...even if she is willing. But thousands of years have passed, and maybe she has been reincarnated.
"Even if the lock of the world is unlocked, she may not be able to be resurrected..."
Si Bailu smiled and nodded:
"It is indeed possible. But if you don't give it a try, how can you draw a conclusion?
"I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with me. Maybe I can meet my old friend again one day!"
Listening to the man's last words, Zhongli was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with a smile:
"Forget it, just go with you.
"After Zhong'er died, I also searched for traces of her reincarnation, but there were still no clues...
"Perhaps as you think, her soul is not intact and she cannot go to the place of reincarnation.
"With the power you obtained from Him, it may be possible to resurrect it...
"If you can do it, I will prepare a big gift for you."
After hearing this, Si Bailu suddenly became more motivated.
“But there’s no need to force it, some things just happen.
"Before fate arrives, forcing yourself will only lead to more unfortunate results..."
Looking at Zhongli's expression of not having much hope.
Si Bailu just took over the shackles of the world and didn't offer much comfort.
No amount of comfort can be as reassuring as actual actions and results.
The moment he took over the shackles of the world, Si Bailu felt a slight sense of rejection.
He was slightly surprised, but more of a surprise.
Maybe this earthly lock really contains the remnant soul of the deceased?
And this remnant soul may have formed a weapon spirit?
Of course, this conjecture is not very reliable.
Si Bailu believed that if there really was a weapon spirit, it would be impossible for the other party to bear the thought of not coming out to meet Zhongli for a thousand years.
"Is it really still the restraint of the lock itself..."
Si Bailu played with the five-star artifact, which looked like a Rubik's Cube on the inside and had a hexagonal illusory shell on the outside.
There is a transparent metal with two tapered ends on the hexagonal shell passing through the center points of both sides of the middle cube.
This results in objects similar to the nine-square Rubik's Cube inside being unable to rotate at will like an ordinary Rubik's Cube.
Although the restriction is not particularly large, such subtle restrictions often lead to more variables.
Si Bailu believed that this could never be calculated according to the ordinary Rubik's Cube formula.
Moreover, there is no color distinction on the surface of the internal Rubik's Cube object, and it is not a pure hexahedron itself.
This shows that relying on the Rubik's Cube formula to decrypt is completely unfeasible.
I am afraid that the real decryption mechanism is hidden only in the invisible interior of the cube...
Si Bailu sighed slightly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart why it was so difficult to get the lock after all.
Even the longest-lived demon could not be solved.
Could it be that the other party's real purpose is to hide it from Sky Island?
Si Bailu was shocked when he thought of this!
Suddenly I wonder if my idea of opening the lock of the world is not a good idea...
Just when he felt a little regretful, the repulsion on the surface of the earthly lock in his hand suddenly disappeared.
As if to encourage him to keep trying.
Si Bailu was stunned for two seconds, smiled bitterly, and then looked at Zhongli who had been glancing at him from the corner of his eye:
"Your Majesty, I still can't unlock this lock. Can you allow me to take it home and study it slowly?"
Hearing this, Zhongli immediately hesitated.
But after a moment, he still sighed and agreed:
"It's up to you, as long as you don't lose it."
Si Bailu smiled happily:
"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to lose such a precious thing."
Si Bailu hugged Zhongli's fists, continued to study the Lock of the World, and left slowly.
Zhong Li looked at the man's leaving figure, feeling inexplicably empty in his heart.
For a long time, he looked at the sky, then suddenly picked up the glass of wine he poured for Gui Shi and drank it all in one gulp...
Chapter 476 Wild Glass Lily
Si Bailu returned to Liyue Port with the Lock of the World and Ye Lan.
On the way, he showed Ye Lan the mysterious lock that he couldn't figure out.
Although Ye Lan was very interested, she couldn't make a move for a while.
The two of them were drinking together in a restaurant, and they kept discussing the locks of the world.
Si Bailu didn't say goodbye to Ye Lan until they were almost done drinking.
Before leaving, Ye Lan told Si Bailu:
“I will help you collect as much information about this stone lock as possible.
"I believe that as long as there is enough information, the lock will be unlocked sooner or later."
