In Liyue, fiancee Kamisato Ayaka

Leaving Liyue Port easily, Ji Qiao began to wander aimlessly in Liyue, enjoying the short-term leisure and tranquil atmosphere.

The death of Dijun Yanwang is indeed too strange, especially for him who has personally experienced the powerful power of gods, this incident is even more suspicious.

However, he didn't have the slightest evidence at hand, everything could only be said to be his own inference, and it was still too early to draw a conclusion.

Moreover, to be honest, this has nothing to do with him, just let Liyue Qixing worry about it.

"Ok?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Zhongli whom he hadn't seen for a long time.At this time, he was standing in front of a statue of a rock god, his figure was as immovable as a rock, and his expression seemed to be caught in a long memory.

"Zhongli!"

The voice behind him brought Zhongli back from his contemplation. He turned his head and looked at Ji Qiao who was walking towards him. A smile appeared on his calm face.

"So it's Your Excellency Ji Qiao, long time no see."

"What are you doing here?" Ji Qiao walked up to him, looking up at the statue of the rock god in front of him: "Are you mourning the rock king?"

"Let's just say that's the case."

There was a trace of hesitation in Zhongli's voice, as if he was not sure even himself: "What about you? And why are you here?"

"The atmosphere in Liyue Port is too dull, I can't stay any longer, so I come out to relax."

Ji Qiao spread her hands and said helplessly: "To be honest, when I was walking around Liyue Port just now, I thought for a moment that I was back in Dao Wife!"

"After all, the death of Emperor Yanwang is an earth-shattering event for the entire people of Liyue, and it is inevitable that such a situation will happen."

Zhong Li acted quite understanding: "Liyue is known as a country that walks with the gods, and Emperor Yanwang has guarded Liyue for thousands of years. Now that Emperor Yanwang died unexpectedly, it also symbolizes Liyue, a country that walks with gods... ...are about to step into an unknown future."

He raised his head and stared quietly at the statue of the rock god: "——a future where human beings will take over Liyue."

"Why don't you look confused at all?"

Ji Qiao was a little curious: "I saw that those people in Liyue Port were all at a loss. Until now, there are still many people who don't believe the fact that Emperor Yanwang is dead. You are good, you said that Yanshen is dead when you come up, Liyue's future will be fully taken over by humans."

"If Keqing had heard what you said, I'm afraid she would have to come to her door the next day and invite you to take a job with her."

"Indeed, if Yu Hengxing, who disrespects the gods and gods, heard these words, he would probably agree with them."

The Yuheng Xing who had openly questioned him in the ceremony of inviting immortals appeared in his mind, and Zhongli nodded: "However, what I said is also an undeniable fact."

"Actually, ever since the demon god war ended and the immortals lived in seclusion among the clouds, I knew that sooner or later, the era of gods would pass, and the era of humans would eventually come."

When Zhong Li said this, the expression on his face was also clouded, revealing a trace of unfathomable depth.

The shimmering light emitted by the statue of the rock god shone on his calm face, but it couldn't see through the true thoughts deep in his heart, just like a thick rock-you only know the surface, but don't know what's inside.

"With the death of Emperor Yan this time, I'm afraid Liyue will undergo a real change."

"You look like you're looking forward to it?"

Ji Qiao asked with deep meaning: "Liyue's change is bound to cause turmoil, and it's hard to say whether the change will be good or bad. If she becomes like Dao Wife, wouldn't it be a big trouble? "

"Dao's Wife... In terms of general rationality, no matter how much Liyue changes today, she will definitely not become the second Dao's Wife."

"I hope so, anyway, the atmosphere in Liyue Port is really uncomfortable now."

Ji Qiao sighed: "To be honest, it's better to be the original Liyue."

"...I have walked the streets and alleys of Liyue Port countless times, and witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of Liyue, but—"

Zhong Li was silent for a while before speaking again: "The Liyue I see now is not fundamentally different from the Liyue I saw in the past."

"It's still the same Liyue that was blessed by the Emperor Rock King, the Liyue that walked with the gods."

"What's wrong with that?"

Ji Qiao shrugged: "Harmony, tranquility and prosperity are all the result of the blessing of the Rock God."

"But the gods are not immortal. The seven gods of the world today, except for the rock god Morax and the wind god Barbatos, are no longer the original gods. Even the gods will experience the wear and tear of time and gradually get lost in the vortex of history. Among them, sooner or later, the position of the rock god will change, and the next rock god will appear."

"At that time, will the relationship between the Rock God and the people of Liyue remain the same?"

"...Besides, it's never a good thing to stay the same."

Zhongli looked at the sky above Liyue, the sun was shrouded in gloom, and the shadow was cast on the top of Liyue Harbor: "Mond, who is known as the city of freedom, and Daoqi, who has closed the country, sent envoys into the solstice of foreign diplomacy... Regardless of These changes are beneficial to them, but this courage to dare to change is the driving force for the development and progress of the country."

"Compared to that, how is Liyue, who has been relying on the rock god?"

"I once thought about what prevented Liyue from entering a new era, and what kept Liyue unchanged for thousands of years. Now that I think about it, what really hindered it—"

Zhong Li said, sighing softly: "I'm afraid it's Morax."

"So you thought of feigning death to see if Liyue is ready to enter a new era?"

Ji Qiao stared straight at Zhong Li, with a confident smile on her face: "Am I right, Morax?"

Chapter 37 037: Zhongli: Oh, I'm dead (forced)

"Actually, I've been skeptical ever since Emperor Yan Wang was killed."

Seeing Zhongli respond with silence, Ji Qiao became more convinced of her judgment, and said eloquently: "As the most powerful 'God of War' among the seven gods, even the other six gods who are also gods may not be able to defeat him. , not to mention ordinary humans wanting to kill him."

"And I have witnessed the power of the gods. If the rock god who is the [Seven Gods of the World] really died in the ritual ceremony, then even the god whose life is like a candle in the wind will die at the moment before he dies." The burst of power is enough to destroy the entire Liyue Port."

The reason why the gods are called gods is not only because they have a long time and power far beyond ordinary people, but the power stored in their bodies is beyond the reach of people with the eyes of gods.

The same is true for that General Thunderbolt, even the weapons are stored in the milk... ahem, it means in the body!

"What you said is not unreasonable, but I still have a question—"

Even after being found out that he was Moraks Bens, Zhong Li still seemed calm: "Morax's fake death may have a lot of loopholes for you who understand the gods, but how did you know that I am Moraks?" His?"

"Based on the strange things we had when we got along before, and what you said this time."

It wasn't a sudden whim, Ji Qiao had doubts about Zhongli since the first time he met him.

It's just that I didn't associate him with Emperor Yan at the time. I just thought he was a strange person. He seemed to know a thing or two about everything, but he didn't know anything about money and common sense. It seemed ignorant.

This time, after hearing his words, and thinking about those memories from the past, and the strangeness of the murder of Emperor Yan this time, it can be regarded as being able to analyze the truth of the matter.

"Of course, there's a little fact—""

Ji Qiao raised her footsteps, looked at the statue of the rock god engraved with the face of the rock king, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't you really think that the rock king on the rock statue is quite similar to you?"

When the idea that Zhongli might be Morax came into his mind, he realized that the statue of the rock god that he usually sees every now and then...is so similar to Zhongli!

Zhongli raised his head when he heard the words, observed carefully, and finally nodded with deep approval: "Indeed, this rock statue is indeed somewhat similar to me."

"That's because this statue is basically modeled after your human incarnation!"

Ji Qiao couldn't help but sighed, thinking that every player in Liyue is an e-sports player, you really don't need eyesight: "It's amazing, you walk and fish in Liyue Port every day, and no one recognizes you? !"

"I'm afraid it's also because the people of Liyue are used to me appearing in an inhuman form."

Zhongli explained lightly: "Thousands of years ago, I also walked in the territory of Liyue as a human being, drinking and chatting with many old friends at that time. It's a pity that those old friends no longer..."

He said, and suddenly sighed softly: "Life and death are part of the world. Even gods cannot escape the wear and tear of time."

Zhong Li turned around and faced Ji Qiao: "Your Excellency Ji Qiao, since you already know my real identity, can you keep this secret for me for now?"

"Is this the contract of the God of Contract?"

"The god of the contract is dead, and now standing in front of you is only one of your friends, the guest minister of Xiangshengtang, Zhongli."

"...Heh. Don't worry, I'm not a big talker. I'm still very tight-lipped when it comes to keeping secrets."

Ji Qiao looked Zhongli up and down, as if she was looking at some novel creature: "But if you leave like this, Liyue will change drastically."

"It's okay, this is also a test that Liyue must go through."

With his hands behind his back, Zhong Li looked at Liyue Harbor in the distance: "As that Yu Hengxing said, the age of immortals has passed, and the age of humans will eventually come. This is an inevitable historical fact."

"You are quite open-minded, much better than a general of Daozu's Thunderbolt."

Ji Qiao curled her lips, and a haughty and glamorous Queen of the Royal Sister family suddenly appeared in her mind: "It's just that Morax thinks so, but the group of immortals in Jue Yunjian... may not be sure."

Suddenly a violent storm blew up in the sky, accompanied by a strong aura that seemed to be substantial, Ji Qiao and Zhong Li raised their heads at the same time, and saw the immortals reclusive among the clouds heading towards Liyue Harbor gallop away.

As immortals who had signed a contract with Dijun, they naturally attached great importance to the murder of Emperor Yanwang.

This time I came here, probably with the attitude of provoking the teacher to question the crime and find out the truth. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that the person who came was not kind.

"You didn't tell them about your fake death?"

Ji Qiao glanced at Zhongli, her brows twitched when she saw Zhongli shaking her head.

Although Jueyunjian's Immortal is far less powerful than the rock god Morax, it is still very oppressive for humans with God's Eye.

Coupled with the fact that there are fools in Li Yuenei who are making trouble, Qi Xing is probably going to be even busier now.

"Then, Liyue Port will be in trouble next time... Is this also one of the tests?"

"After the death of Emperor Yanwang, everything that happened to Liyue will be included in the test."

Zhongli thought deeply: "As for the immortals, from the point of view of the Liyue Seven Stars, they may be in a confrontational situation, but with Gan Yu here, she should be able to play a big role in mediating."

As a half-immortal beast, Gan Yu has both human and immortal blood flowing in her body, plus she has lived in Liyue Port all year round and lived a human life, so she must stand on the human side.

But in this confrontation between the Liyue Seven Stars and the Immortal, she is also the most difficult one.

"Of course, I also have to consider the worst plan."

Zhong Li turned his gaze to a majestic building on the edge of Liyue Harbor, and the scene there was reflected in his pupils.

The palace strictly guarded by the Qianyan Army was built alone in a place far away from all human settlements. This is also the manufacturing point of Mora in the entire Tivat continent - the Golden House.

"The passing of Morax, the arrival of the immortals, and the conspiracy of the fools, this crisis... Will Liyue, who has lost the protection of the King of Rock, be able to survive successfully?"

-

"Ah! This man defeated the entire Qianyan Army with ease!"

After receiving Ningguang's commission to investigate the "Hundred No Taboos" researched by the Fools, Paimeng and Ying accidentally discovered an orange-haired man who seemed to have a high status in the Fools. , Paimeng and Ying decided to secretly follow the orange-haired man all the way to the golden house, and then saw him deal with the Qianyan army guarding here with lightning speed.

"Sure enough, taking advantage of Liyue's chaos, the fools are trying to plot something!"

Paimon snorted softly: "Ah! He's gone in! Let's hurry up and follow! See what the hell he wants to do!"

The two followed Dadalia into the golden house. As soon as they entered the door, they found that the place was resplendent with gold and jade, and there were piles of golden moras all around.

Paimon's eyes were straightened, and his two short legs kicked back and forth excitedly.

"Wow~! There are so many Mora here! Could it be that this is a place dedicated to making Mora?"

She scratched her head: "But what are the fools doing here? Could it be that they want to take advantage of the chaos and steal these Mora?"

"wrong."

Yingsu raised her eyebrows and held her right hand empty. A simple long sword emerged from her palm: "Be careful, there are weird things here."

The moment the voice fell, there was a sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air, and Ying quickly reacted and avoided it.

"I really didn't expect that I was followed here by a cute little mouse. It seems that I also got carried away because the plan went so smoothly~"

Ying followed the source of the sound, and saw the orange-haired man standing not far from the fainted Qianyan Army, holding a bow and arrow in one hand, while the other hand was intentionally or unintentionally resting on the bowstring, as if ready to attack at any time. Draw the bow again.

"However, since you were able to follow me here without me finding out, it also shows that your strength is not weak."

Young Master raised the bow and arrow again, pulled the bowstring to the full, with an excited smile on his face: "Take it as the last indulgence of the plan, let me enjoy the fun of fighting!"

Chapter 38 038: Ningguang's favorability is UP, Keqing's favorability is UP, Gan Yu's favorability is UP!

"Are you really not going to take a look?"

After returning to the Nantian Gate of Liyue Port with Zhongli, Ji Qiao repeatedly confirmed to Zhongli: "The confrontation between the Liyue Seven Stars and the Immortal was all because of you."

"No need." Zhongli shook his head, and said calmly: "The three-eyed and five-manifested immortal once had a contract with me, and now I walk in the world as [Zhongli], but the effectiveness of the contract... I'm afraid they can still know it. my identity."

"What's more, since I have chosen to step down from the position of God, naturally I shouldn't interfere in Liyue's internal affairs anymore."

"You're thinking quite openly, maybe you want Liyue to become the next city of freedom?"

"You mean the poet from Mond?" Zhongli couldn't help softening his expression when talking about the few old friends who were still alive: "Speaking of which, he once traveled thousands of miles to gather the Seven Gods together to Treat each other with good food and wine. I remember the first time he came to invite me, I still mistakenly thought that something happened to Mond and needed my strength."

Thinking back to the past thousands of years ago, Zhongli's expression seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, and there was a little nostalgia in his eyes: "I don't know where he is now."

"You are no longer Liyue's patron saint, so you should be able to go to Mond to find him?"
