The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat

"Wow, Guyun Pavilion always feels very spectacular no matter how many times I come here."

Several people stood on the highest stone pillar of Guyun Pavilion, looking at the sea.

"I mentioned to you before that there are many demon gods from the past suppressed under Guyun Pavilion, and Osel is just one of them."

"Now the immortals have handed over Liyue to mortals, and Heulia's era is even longer in the past. The salt lamp and salt ruler she left behind should not be returned to Liyue Port."

"Let them stay here, it is both a deep sleep and a return to their hometown..."

Liusu asked: "So you don't want these salt cups and salt rulers?"

"These salt cups and salt rulers are of no use. If you need them, just take them yourself."

"Harm, I'm just telling you why I need so much salt." Liusu waved his hand and said.

"I ended an era with my own hands. I have been thinking about how to record the history...that I ended."

"History can be recorded, but history is not reliable, and this incident also proves this. Time has a powerful force, and history will distort over the years..."

"I need to find better records so that the true history can be enshrined."

"Carving stone was a long-lasting record. But the seemingly unchanging rock, the seemingly unchanging world, and me...may all disappear one day."

"Zhongli."

Zhongli's tone made Paimon feel a little sad.

"But it's okay now, because with the establishment of the Golden Tree, I can engrave my memories in it. As Liusu said, the Golden Tree has been growing for too long. Regarding future crises, I'm not sure whether the Golden Tree can survive at that time. Resistant."

"So, Traveler, I thought of you."

After Zhongli finished speaking, he stared at Ying tightly and continued: "You are a person who has traveled across the sky and across the sea of ​​stars. Carve history into your memory, and I can travel with you to other worlds one day in the future. "

"As a traveler, as long as you can record it, then the era and history of Teyvat will have a backup of existence..."

"So, if something happens to the golden tree, our existence will also be remembered by you. Liusu used the golden tree to seal your memory, not to eliminate it, but as a means of protection in Teyvat. Just like that day Teyvat no longer exists, and the Golden Tree no longer exists, then this sealed memory will appear in your mind again."

Zhongli's dull words made Ying feel a little depressed, and she said softly: "So this is the reason why you come with me."

Paimon spread his hands: "Is Tassel very strong? Even she can't avoid it?"

"Tassel is certainly very strong, but she also exists in Teyvat. She is not immune to this situation, so she made a golden tree to prepare against these. This is also the contract between us."

“There’s still a long way to go.”

"Then, the next step is to throw the salt lamp and salt ruler into the sea."

Zhongli thought for a while and changed the subject. It was not time to tell the travelers the rest.

Paimon asked in confusion: "Huh? Why did you throw it into the sea?"

"Did I just say that? Many old demons have been suppressed here. Including Basha who was locked in the deep sea by Qun Jade Pavilion. Although Osel is dead, the other demons are no weaker than Osel."

Zhongli turned around and walked towards higher ground. Ying hugged the salt lamp and followed Zhongli with the salt ruler.

"Thousands of years ago, Liyue was in chaos, and I and the immortals were in chaos."

Zhongli said as he walked in front.

"The place where the rock spear suppressed the demons and gods, Guyun Pavilion has gone through thousands of years, and in the end, only anecdotes and legends are left."

"Oh? You're finally here. I've been waiting here for a long time."

Liusu stood on the edge and looked at the sea, the sea breeze blowing on her face, moving her hair.

"Oser, you and I are enemies rather than friends. Although you have died at this time, the confrontation in the old era is just a memory of the old era."

Zhongli walked to the edge and stopped. Ying, who followed, handed Zhongli the salt lamp and ruler in his hand.

"Let your wife devour Heulia's relics."

Golden rock elemental power emerged from Zhongli's body, pulling the two instruments left by the Demon God of Salt and throwing them into the sea water.

"So, Zhongli, you are also responsible for the seawater becoming salty." Liusu said quietly from the side.

Zhongli: "."

"The miracles of Liyue Port have been reduced from now on." Zhongli decided to ignore Liusu's magical brain circuit and continued: "Everything between the earth and the sky is only left for future generations to comment."

"I still want to stay here for a while. I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer opportunities to reminisce like this in the future. You can leave first." Zhongli stood at the edge and looked at the sea, with memories in his eyes. .

"Of course there will be fewer and fewer memories, because old friends will slowly recover." Liusu said at the side.

"Haha, yes, now is different from before. With the revival of old friends, even if Teyvat will eventually encounter a crisis, this is enough." Zhongli was stunned, and his eyes became clear again.

At this time, Ying remembered the story of the Salt Demon God and said, "The Salt Demon God is a bit pitiful."

Because he retreated, he was killed by his own people, and he was unwilling to resist until the last moment.

"In the era of the Demon God War, the standards for judging the right and wrong of things were different from now." Zhongli said with emotion, "Of course... I also hope that she can be born in a gentler era."

"Hasn't Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun returned? Then the Salt Demon God should be able to return as well, right?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"I don't think so. The power of the Golden Tree is too great. Reviving a demon god is a terrifying number. Reviving an immortal with the current power of the Golden Tree is already the limit."

Liu Su rejected Paimeng's words. How much power is needed to revive a demon god who has passed away?

Paimeng said, "Is that so? What a pity."

"And compared to the Salt Demon God who has nothing to do with us, there are many demon gods who have passed away in Liyue. They are our target."

"It seems so. Reviving your own companions is the most important thing."

Paimeng nodded and confirmed this statement.

"From a universal perspective, those who sacrificed for Liyue are our goal. The power of the Golden Tree is limited. We cannot waste this power on others. Everyone is selfish, and gods are no exception."

Ying continued to ask: "Will the relics enhance Ba Che's power?"

"Although the salt lamp and salt ruler still have power, they are still not worth mentioning to Ba Che, who is not as strong as Osel." Zhongli said softly, "If one day she recovers and makes a comeback... he will definitely be defeated again."

Zhongli's defeat was a bit implicit. After all, even a strong person like Osel was killed by Liusu with a sword because of the threat to Liyue's safety.

Paimeng said excitedly: "Yes, we still have Liusu. She is in Liyue, and the little demon god will definitely not make any waves."

Ying didn't want to complain about Paimeng's words anymore. What is a little demon god? Listen to what you said?

"What are you going to do next?" Ying ignored Paimeng and continued to ask Zhongli.

"Good question. If it was in the past, I might give you a very specific answer. But now... well. Probably he wants to continue to perform his duties as a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall."

Ying: "Perform the duties of the Wangsheng Hall?"

"Oh, what he means is that the next plan is to slack off. After all, what does the Wangsheng Hall do every day?" Liusu exposed it bluntly.

Zhongli: "."

Can you give me Zhongli a face? Is it really okay to expose me like this in front of the travelers?

"Well, he is indeed a social waste." Paimon nodded thoughtfully.

Ying: "Paimon!"

Can't you be more tactful? It's not the first time that he said he was a social waste in front of Zhongli.

Zhongli: "Ahem."

"However, if you enjoy this journey, record it next time, and why not travel together again."
