Douluo: Reincarnation of the Rock King, Wandering in the Mortal World

Chapter 207 207: Grandpa is gone?
Under normal circumstances, the encounter a hundred years later would have been very exciting, especially the expression of the little guy Wang Chen.

The white-haired Wang Chen looked at Zhongli and Paimeng, who had not changed at all, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

His eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement.

A hundred years ago, Master Zhongli and Paimeng looked like this. A hundred years later, Master Zhongli and Paimeng still look like this...

They are exactly the same as I remember them, as if time has taken care of everyone but has left out these two.

Thinking of this, Paimeng turned his head slightly and looked at Zhongli.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhongli often changed his identity and walked in Liyue when he was on the continent of Teyvat?
The price of longevity or eternal life begins from the moment you can remember.

Zhongli has lived for so many years, how many separations and deaths has he witnessed?

Even he himself had experienced the same thing.

"Perhaps this is why he was unwilling to form ties with others when he first arrived?"

Paimeng was smart for once, and although she was confused, she did not ask directly.

"Speaking of which, Zhongli is a demon god. Without any wear and tear on his body, he can almost achieve immortality."

"Then what kind of existence am I?"

Ever since she could remember, she only knew that she was the best tour guide in Teyvat. She had never thought about where she came from or where she was going.

So many years have passed, but she is still herself, still the same Paimon.

"I should be an immortal species, right?"

"Otherwise, what Wang Chen would see is a white-haired me... Alas? I have white hair to begin with..."

Paimon thought about this and fell into deep thought again.

Zhongli and Wang Chen had no idea what Paimon was thinking about. Even if they knew she was thinking, it would most likely be about food, right?
"Lord Zhongli."

Wang Chen looked at Zhongli with a fiery light in his eyes.

If it weren't for this adult, Wang Chen would not have achieved what he has today.

If it weren't for this lord, their village might have been destroyed by the wolf bandits long ago.

Such a terrifying beast is simply not something that ordinary people can resist.

"Oh?"

Seeing Wang Chen's mouth slightly open, hesitant to speak, Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "My dear Wang Chen, please feel free to speak."

More than two years have not made Wang Chen forget his original intention, nor has it worn down his mind. Instead, it has made him more determined and has the potential to become a strong man.

Zhongli was very pleased about this, as it once again proved that his vision was very authentic.

After hearing this, Wang Chen stood up from his chair and prepared to kneel down to Zhongli. This was his way of expressing his gratitude.

But his knees seemed to be pulled by a powerful force and could not bend no matter what.

"My dear friend Wang Chen, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhongli waved his hand and Wang Chen sat back in his seat.

"Master Zhongli..."

Wang Chen looked at Zhongli in confusion, feeling a little bewildered.

He didn't understand why Zhongli didn't let him express his gratitude in this way.

As a commoner with little education, his gratitude was the purest and simplest.

At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, this adult was terribly powerful!
Even with his current strength, he is still powerless to resist Lord Zhongli.

I can only say that you are worthy of being Lord Zhongli!
Seeing this, Zhongli waved his hand and said, "My friend, you have achieved what you have today because of your own belief and persistence. The Eye of God is just the icing on the cake." "By the way, I have already accepted your gratitude for the Eye of God. There is no need to start over again."

After hearing this, Wang Chen was slightly stunned. Although Zhongli's words made a lot of sense, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Faith and persistence?
The icing on the cake?

If there is no Eye of God, what is the use of strong faith and persistence?
Lord Zhongli just didn't want to be proud of himself, and he didn't want to use the Eye of God as an excuse to make Wang Chen his subordinate...

Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help but feel more grateful to Zhongli. He became even more fanatical, already very enthusiastic.

"I understand. Thank you, Master Zhongli."

Wang Chen cupped his hands and said solemnly.

Paimeng glanced at Wang Chen, then at Zhongli, and shook his little head like a rattle.

She was a little confused and didn't understand what the two were talking about.

Suddenly, Paimeng seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously said to Wang Chen: "Little Wang Chen, your village is far away from Tiandou City, right?"

"You came to Tiandou City, then your grandfather..."

Wang Chen's grandfather, Wang Mazi, is old but his movements remain unchanged. This was witnessed by Zhongli and Paimeng more than two years ago.

He only has one grandson, Wang Chen. How will Wang Mazi live after Wang Chen leaves?
After hearing this, Wang Chen's face changed, and a feeling of sadness arose. He lowered his head, his lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When Zhongli saw this, he had the answer in his mind.

When he first saw Wang Mazi, he knew that the old man didn't have much time left and might not live long.

Birth, aging, sickness and death, all kinds of life. When his life is coming to an end, is it not a blessing for him to see his descendants "successful"?
"My grandfather passed away a year and a half ago."

After a while, Wang Chen finally spoke.

Wang Mazi was his only blood relative. After his death, he had no relatives in the entire Douluo Continent.

This also made him determined to start looking for Zhongli.

Before embarking on this journey, Wang Chen was completely in the dark and had no idea where to find Zhongli.

He crossed countless mountains and rivers, and passed through countless forests. Of course, there were almost no soul beasts in these forests. They were just ordinary forests.

He had been to the Star Forest, because it was not very far from his home, only a few dozen miles away.

The first time he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he was in danger of death because he knew nothing about soul beasts.

"Alas, he passed away?"

Paimeng's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the kind old man had passed away.

After thinking for a while, Paimeng flew to Wang Chen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, little Wang Chen. The kind old man will definitely be proud of you!"

"Well, grandpa left with a smile on his face."

Wang Chen said bluntly that his grandfather, Wang Mazi, did leave with a smile.

His ancestors were all commoners, but this generation changed their fate. How could he not laugh?
When he arrives in another world, he will have the nerve to say to his ancestors: A true dragon has appeared in my family!

"Little Wang Chen, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I do not know."

Wang Chen’s previous goal was to find Zhongli and then help Zhongli with all his ability.

Unfortunately, his idea was still too naive.
