The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat

"I didn't expect Zhongli to go to Beiguo Bank. Doesn't he know what the Fools are doing in Liyue?"

Ying and Paimon came out of the Hall of Rebirth and walked towards the Northland Bank.

"As agreed, I'm here to get your god's heart, Morax."

"Heart of God?" Ying seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

"The contract has been fulfilled. As you asked, I will give you what was promised."

"What? Zhongli is the Rock King??!" Paimeng said it was impossible.

"Yeah, it's so miserable that you deceived me too." Young Master said from the side.

"Well, I seem to be unable to accept this fact. How can this social loser who spends a lot of money and never carries Mora with him when he buys things, how can he be the Emperor of the Rock King?"

"Paimon." Ying reminded, although you think so, don't say it.

"But, what kind of agreed value can be compared to the Heart of God?" Paimon asked curiously.

Zhongli touched his chin and replied: "Based on common rationality, no, but as the God of Contracts, if this contract is not beneficial to me, I will not sign it."

"why?"

"One day on a drizzly day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman complimenting his subordinates, saying, 'You have completed your duties, go and have a rest.' After hearing this, I paused for a long time among the people passing by. I kept asking myself: Have I completed my responsibilities?”

"Zhongli." Paimon shouted softly.

"Three hundred years ago, with the arrival of Liusu, Liyue changed its current situation and once again developed rapidly like mushrooms after a rain on the original basis, which gradually made me firm in this idea."

"Ah? Isn't the Immortal Lord originally from Liyue?"

"Of course not, but now that she has joined Liyue, her previous identity doesn't matter anymore."

"At this opportunity, I signed this contract with the Queen of Winter, a contract that ends all contracts. It seems pretty good now. Although the journey is a bit bumpy, the fact that the people of Liyue can suppress a demon god has exceeded my expectations. too much."

"Then Liusu solved the problem completely, and I knew it was time for me to retire."

"So when you retire, will the Immortal Lord take over your position?" Paimon asked.

"Why do you have this idea?" Zhongli looked at her strangely and said, "It's impossible for Liusu to take over Liyue. She complains endlessly about maintaining it, let alone Liyue."

"Well, what you said makes sense."

"It's just that there was a demon god in the end who was beyond my expectation, but the moment Liusu took action, it was already a foregone conclusion. Although I don't know what Liusu, the immortals, and Liyue Qixing said, but their motivation and Motivation can’t be hidden.”

Zhong Li thought of a problem, that is, Liyue Qixing and Xianren knew that he was not dead, but their actions still exceeded his expectations. Even at the last moment, they did not ask him for help, but decided to fight the crisis on their own.

If Liusu hadn't chosen to take the initiative in the end, Liyue would have been seriously injured again this time, but the final result was still good.

"Now, the Seven Stars of Liyue are in power. They seem to have expected this crisis a long time ago, and their methods are ruthless. This makes me feel a bit strange, as well as the immortal's thoughts on Liyue. Forget it, don't think so much, the goal is achieved Well, and the general public doesn’t know that I’m still alive, so it won’t have any impact on the plan.”

"Um, my brain is a bit exhausted." Pamon scratched his head, feeling so profound.

"Now that the matter has been accomplished, sir, please come with me to the Winter Palace to meet the queen." The lady said while holding the Heart of God that she had obtained.

"Okay, I want to go back later. I don't want to stay in the same boat with you." The young master said dissatisfied.

"Oh, please feel free to do it." The lady said and left.

"Well, do you have anything else you want to ask at the end?" Zhongli said after the young master and lady left.

"Is it because Liyue Immortal and gods don't like to bring money?" The question asked by Paimeng made the corners of Zhongli's eyes twitch.

"no."

"Oh~" Paimon expressed disbelief.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhongli felt a little embarrassed by this question.

"Does the Heart of God really represent the full power of the gods?" Ying thought of Tassel that day.

"Oh? You also discovered that the Heart of God is not the power of the Seven Gods, so losing it or not has no impact on the Seven Gods at all. On the contrary, this is still a hot potato, and it is just a good opportunity to hand it over."

"Ah? The Heart of God is a hot potato? What's going on?"

"I can't tell you this. You just need to know that the heart of God is not what you think." Zhongli shook his head, indicating that this topic could not be continued.

"Then do gods really need people's faith to exert their great power?" Paimon thought of Wendy, who had his heart ripped out in Mondstadt.

"Of course not. Although the people's faith can increase the power of gods, this power is also limited, but the improvement of power still has a great effect. Just like a demon god whose divine power is 1, the strength with faith will become 1.001 Although not much more, it will still be stronger than the former. ”

"This is equivalent to the original strength of the devil, and then coupled with the strength of people's faith, it is equivalent to a multiplication zone. The more believers, the more power it provides to the gods."

"Oh, I understand, but if the believers who believed in this god no longer believe in him, will his strength decrease?" Paimon continued to ask.

"Yes, but there is a threshold, that is, his own strength will not change. No matter how strong he was before, he will still be as strong now. This will not change. The Heart of God is equivalent to greatly increasing your divine power, but you will pay a corresponding price if you use it."

"So that's the case. I said that Wendy was so angry. I was worried about him for so long."

Paimon stomped his feet angrily and told Zhongli about it.

"Oh? That drunkard poet? Interesting, I didn't expect him to make such a decision. It really fits his style."

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

"So Zhongli, what kind of contract did you sign with the God of Ice? Tell me? I'm curious."

"No, it's also part of the contract that you can't tell this contract to others."

"Ah? Stingy." Paimon lowered his head in disappointment.

"It seems that you have already got the Liyue Skynet from Liusu, right? How do you feel about it?" Zhongli saw that the two had nothing to say, so he found a topic instead.

"Skynet is really powerful and very convenient!" This Skynet is too convenient, you can also order food and deliver it directly to where you live.

"Yes, the establishment of Skynet is an indispensable part of Liyue's changes. It allows Liyue to enter the information age, and messages can be received thousands of miles away from Liyue, without having to send messages slowly like before."

"Zhongli, did you build that golden tree?" Paimeng asked.

"Of course not, I'm just using this golden tree, I don't have such ability."

"Who is it?"

"Didn't you guess it?"

"Wow, it's her, so powerful." Paimeng suddenly thought of someone.

"Today is the ceremony of sending the immortals, we can go and take a look, although the protagonist sent is fake, but since we have spent so much time and energy, it feels a loss if we don't go and take a look."

For the death of Emperor Yanwang, the reason given by Qixing was that he failed to pass the tribulation and was struck to death by lightning.

"It seems that in addition to the immortals, there are also the Seven Stars. Ordinary Liyue people don't know that the emperor is faking his death."

Paimon watched the Qianyan Army above read out the words of the Seven Stars and conspired loudly to the Traveler, but the people around him seemed not to hear it.
