Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

"Yes, there seems to be something happening over there, I have to go and see."

In the battle with Ruo Tuo, Chen Luo had some new gains and also discovered new problems.

This problem forced him to change his plan to stay in Liyue and go to Daozuma.

——Of course, that's not suitable for Keqing to mention about the collapse.

"The captain of the Southern Cross fleet, Beidou, is very familiar with Ningguang. I can help you go and talk to Ningguang, and let the captain of Beidou take you to Daozu."

"That would be great, thank you, Keqing."

Keqing smiled slightly, and the evening wind blew across the port, blowing her long purple hair.

"I once heard a story about Mond, it was courage and longing for the sky that made the bird learn to soar. For me, Liyue is the sky that can soar, but for you... maybe it is A wider world.

"However, Liyue welcomes you to come back anytime."

"Well, I will."

Chapter 31 The contract is established

On top of Qingyunding, there is a small pavilion that Liuyun borrowed from Feng Zhenjun to build with floating stones and mechanism techniques.

It was originally the abbot's place created by the woman to escape from the trivial matters of the world and ignore the rain, but later Liuyun borrowed the wind and gave up here, intending to return to the world and walk around in the world. Therefore, this place has become a place that few people will visit. The place.

When the sun rises, the light turns the clouds golden.

Chen Luo turned into the shape of a bird, flew in the sky, and soon arrived at the floating pavilion above Qingyunding.

"You came."

The man with black hair and golden eyes was already waiting there, the bird landed on the ground of the pavilion, a blue light flashed, and Chen Luo changed back into a human form.

"I haven't seen you for a day, Dijun."

"You're not hiding it."

Zhong Li smiled slightly, beckoned to create a tea table made of rocks, and put out the prepared tea.

"You've recorded it directly in my head, how can I cover it up, speaking of it, this location is really...unique."

Chen Luo smiled wryly.

"The scenery here is the best. You can see the beautiful scenery among the clouds, and it is also suitable for talking about some hidden topics."

"So, the emperor called me here today, what do you want to talk about? It can't be just because of the battle under the Fulong tree that day."

"The matter of Ruo Tuo is indeed for you. Of course, as you said, I invited you to this heaven not just for this matter."

Zhong Li picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then said.

"I'm very curious about you, Chen Luo. I have observed you for a long time and confirmed that you have no ill intentions towards Li Yue, so I invited you here."

"Sure enough, you gave me that stone on purpose, right?"

He nodded slightly.

"When I found that stone in the market, I recognized at a glance that it was not a thing of this world, and you are not a life of this world. I can't use it, but I guess you can."

"Ah, indeed... a great help."

Thanks to this soul steel, Chen Luo got rid of the slime's weak body, and his strength rose by a level in one fell swoop.

However, if you want to go further, I am afraid that you still need a real human body.

The adaptability of the core of the Herrscher of Reason reflects Chen Luo's depth of use of abilities, and the body used to bear the pressure of deriving the Honkai energy determines Chen Luo's upper limit of output.

"It is not uncommon for foreigners and things to appear on this Tivat continent, but you may be more special than those I have seen before..."

Sure enough, Zhongli invited Chen Luo because of the unique Herrscher power on him.

"It's special... because of this, right?"

Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and an azure blue core appeared in his hand, which was the core of the Herrscher belonging to the Herrscher of Reason.

Compared with when Chen Luo first saw it, the current core of law has a lot more light than before, perhaps this is the proof of the improvement of adaptability between Chen Luo and it.

Zhongli nodded.

"Mr. Zhongli knows that there is such a core, why did he come to this world?"

Zhongli pondered for a rare moment before answering.

"The real reason is unknown, but the border of Tivat is getting weaker and more and more foreign objects are falling into this world. I think there are probably factors in this regard.

"You have twice witnessed the wonderful summoning of other worlds to summon things from outside the world to Teyvat, and it is precisely because the weak border is unable to stop this transgressive behavior.

"A friend of mine is also maintaining the border of Tivat at this moment, but it is a foregone conclusion that it is getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that in the near future..."

"My friend... is that great witch Alice?"

Zhongli rarely showed a look of surprise.

"You know her."

"...It doesn't count as acquaintance, it probably means knowing her name and hearing her voice."

"She is a great adventurer with the ability to travel through various worlds. Perhaps compared to me who sticks to Liyue, she who is well-informed can understand the root of all the changes that are happening on the Tivat continent now."

"If I have a chance to meet her in the future, I will ask her for advice."

Chen Luo also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"By the way, when did Mr. Zhongli start noticing me?"

"From the moment you appeared on the land of Liyue."

Zhong Li said lightly.

"The power you possess, I can feel that its essence is an extremely dangerous existence, but I have observed you for a long time, and in your body, you seem to be able to control it freely."

"Ha... Maybe it's because I have a special constitution."

"However, maybe some people are not as lucky as you, so perfect to control the power of 'it'."

"...Sure enough, Mr. Zhongli, have you noticed it too?"

As expected of Li Yue who understands the king, there is nothing he doesn't know.

When he fought against Ruo Tuo holding the Star of Eden under the Fulong Tree, Chen Luo briefly entered the form of the Herrscher of Reason.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Chen Luo to do many things, and his perception ability also expanded in that moment.

While creating the rain of swords all over the sky, the moment he was in the form of the Herrscher made him sense many things.

——For example, the existence of another Herrscher core.

Although it was only a vague feeling, Chen Luo was very convinced that there was another Herrscher core in Dao's wife's direction.

Now that the first core representing the Herrscher of Reason has appeared, it is not difficult to predict that the remaining cores will appear on the Tivat continent.

The core of the Herrscher that appeared in this world did not seem to be accompanied by a corresponding collapse—after all, Chen Luo did not experience any disaster when he obtained the core of the Herrscher of Reason.

Chen Luo tentatively guessed that some kind of power from Tivat isolated the invasion of Honkai, and even suppressed them to a certain extent, so that the world would not be eroded by Honkai.

"So, Chen Luo, you plan to go to Dao's Wife to find out the power that has the same origin as the core in your hand."

"Well, this kind of thing, probably only I can do it."

In Chen Luo's core space, there are fourteen positions displayed, which may indicate that besides the core of the Herrscher of Reason, he also has the ability to control the power of other Herrschers.

"At least, I have to find the host of that core and confirm the situation."

Whether it's due to personal reasons or for reasons in this world, Chen Luo intends to visit Dao's wife.

"The rice wife is precarious, your journey may be very difficult and long."

"...I just thought, I should do this."

"In that case, let me give you a little help."

"Eh?"

Zhongli said with a smile.

"—I will give you the reward for helping Mandrill resist Ruo Tuo. Now let's make a contract according to Liyue's rules."

Chapter 32 Zhongli, can you fix this?

"The Star of Eden is very interesting in terms of general reason."

In the pavilion above Qingyunding, the conversation between Zhongli and Chenluo was still going on.

Zhong Li proposed to give Chen Luo a reward for assisting Mandrill in dealing with Ruo Tuo.

There is no limit to the remuneration, as long as it can be done by Zhong Li, Chen Luo can ask him.

Chen Luo thought of several choices in an instant for a gift from Emperor Yanwang.

"Zhongli, can I touch your rock ridge?"

"Zhongli, can you make some artifacts for me to touch?"

However, after a brief ideological struggle and choice, Chen Luo still chose to take out the broken Star of Eden.

After all, if you don't go to Mond right now, you won't be able to find Abedo, a master alchemist with high EQ, so let Zhongli see if he can repair the Star of Eden.

If the Star of Eden can be repaired, then it will be more powerful than any artifact known to Chen Luo that exists on Tivat.

Zhong Li stretched out his hand and used his divine power to float the fragments of the Star of Eden into the air.

The shell of the Star of Eden has been broken, and a corner of the core of the Herrscher of Rock is faintly leaking out.

"Its core part seems to be of the same origin as the one you showed."

"That's not wrong..."

"It's just that although the performance is very similar, there is a slight difference in essence."

"Different? What does Mr. Zhongli mean?"

Zhong Li smiled and shook his head.

"It's just my intuition, so your request is, let me fix this weapon named [Star of Eden]?"

"Well, although this request may be a bit difficult, I still want to confirm whether you can do it."

After all, a weapon like the God's Key is the crystallization of technology from the pre-civilization era. It may be a bit strange to use the sword and magic elements of the Tivat world to repair it. Take the attitude of trying it out and let Zhongli take a look.

"Frankly speaking, I really can't repair the shell that makes this weapon—that is, the material that now makes up your body, which you call [Soul Steel]."

"Is that so? Sure enough..."

Chen Luo said with some disappointment.

It seems that the Star of Eden has been completely sent to something that even Lord Yan can't do.

"—However, if you just want to guide the power out of it, I can indeed repair it in another way."

"Huh? What does Mr. Zhongli mean?"

Zhong Li pulled the core part of the Star of Eden to his eyes, carefully observed the core, and then responded.

"I can feel that the authority of this core is the 'power of the earth'. In this case, as the demon god of rock, I may have a way to use this core as the cornerstone to forge a new weapon to carry its power. ability."

Abandon soul steel and use other materials to forge new weapons?

This was a direction Chen Luo hadn't considered.

But—then there is a fatal problem.

"Mr. Zhongli, although I can't explain the principle... But the power used by the Star of Eden and me will cause a very strong corrosion effect on ordinary metals and ores. Ordinary metals and ores may not be able to withstand this force." strength."

Only soul steel, a black technology material, can block the Honkai energy and maintain the performance of weapons and armor.

"I naturally understand this point, Chen Luo, you don't need to worry, I have my own way."

"In that case, please leave Mr. Zhongli."

"Just one thing I need to explain to you. If I were to reforge the new weapon with this core structure, I am afraid that the use of authority will be quite different from the original [Star of Eden]. The materials used may It also cannot change shape freely like 【Soul Steel】.

"In addition, if it needs to be re-forged, it will take several days. I am afraid that the weapon will not be handed over to you before you set off for Daozuma."

"It's okay, I'd be very grateful if you were willing to help fix it."
