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

Chapter 22: He who wears the crown must bear its weight
Paimeng glanced at Zhongli and said subconsciously: "Zhongli doesn't want to become a god..."

Come to think of it, Zhongli had just pretended to be dead and came down from the throne, so how could he sit back down in such a short time?

Even if this is a different world, the same principle applies.

There are no Liyue citizens here, no one he protects, and no things he cherishes...

It is not wrong to say that Zhongli came to the mortal world for a leisurely stroll.

He knows everything, but cares about nothing.

How many forces came to curry favor with Zhongli for the sake of force?

Zhongli accepted almost everything, but when he was really needed to take action, he might not do it.

Most of what Paimon knew about Zhongli came from when he was doing missions with the Traveler.

She herself knows a little bit, not much, but they are all "core" secrets.

For example, Zhongli likes perfume, and she used to play the role of a big sister...

Paimon's voice was not loud, but not small either.

There were only three of them in the quiet private room.

It is difficult not to hear "Xue Qinghe".

"Don't want to become a god?"

If someone else had said this, "Xue Qinghe" would have mocked them on the spot, saying that you guys are just a bunch of idiots, and you say you don't want to become gods, but you can't become gods, right? !
You don't even want to become a god, why are you pretending like this?

But, these words are not directed at anyone else, but the Rock King, Zhongli!
This person who suppressed several gods with one hand, doesn’t he want to become a god?
"Xue Qinghe" was stunned, a little at a loss, a little confused, with his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Shouldn't becoming a god be the goal of every strong person?
Isn’t this what her grandfather and she…that woman are all aiming for?
Why, why would anyone not want to become a god?

Could it be that this is also the reason why Zhongli revealed the true face of the Vast Sea Universe Cover?
Let her know what the Vast Sea Universe Cover is, so that she can take it back on her own initiative...

Since Zhongli didn't want to become a god, how did he become a god later?
"In this world, many demons and gods have risen up. Although I have no intention of competing with them, I know the suffering of the people..."

These words suddenly echoed in Xue Qinghe's mind. She seemed to have understood and grasped some key points.

Zhongli indeed had no vision of becoming a god, but because of the wars among several countries and several gods, the people were living in misery and suffering.

The people have a strong desire to pray for someone to calm down this war...

The power of faith gathered together and made Zhongli, the one with the greatest potential to become a god, become a god on the spot!
Become a god through faith. This is the path that the angel god once took, and it works.

Those who don't want to become gods become such powerful gods, while those who want to become gods...

With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, "Xue Qinghe" had to come back to his senses. There were some things that he could think about slowly after returning, and he must not neglect this guest official.

"Little Paimon, whether Mr. Zhongli is willing to become a god or not, since the Heart of the Sea God has been given away, there is no reason to take it back."

"Please accept it, Mr. Zhongli!"

Xue Ye: Qinghe, Qinghe, do you think you have my consent before saying this?
If it was the real Xue Qinghe, he would have already brought the Heart of Poseidon back to the palace by now. If he walked a second slower, he would be afraid that the Heart of Poseidon would be snatched away by someone else.

However, this is not the real Xueqing River.

She doesn't care about the Poseidon inheritance because she has her own inheritance.

If that dream was from her past life, she would definitely be better in this life than in her past life. At least, she wouldn't be killed instantly by Zhongli's magic skill...

Zhongli looked at "Xue Qinghe" twice. For some reason, he always felt that "Xue Qinghe" was a little weird, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The fear in her eyes was real, when he hadn't revealed his strength yet, or when they first met.

Also, regarding the Heart of the Sea God, he had clearly stated that it was the inheritance of the Sea God, but Xue Qinghe actually gave it to him without hesitation?
Why is this?

According to the time node, "Xue Qinghe" at this time did not know about the inheritance of the Angel God.

Even if she knew the inheritance of her ancestors, wouldn't it be good to bring the Heart of the Sea God back to the Spirit Hall and give the Spirit Hall one more god?

Zhongli was somewhat puzzled as to why "Xue Qinghe" did this. After a while, he finally accepted the Heart of the Sea God.

The three chatted for a while, and "Xue Qinghe" had some other things to deal with, so he left.

"It's really not easy to be the Crown Prince. There are so many things to deal with."

Paimeng looked at the back of "Xue Qinghe" and muttered softly.

"This is where your responsibilities come from. When you sit in that position, you need to consider the issues that need to be considered."

"Since you have chosen to sit on it, you should bear it." "Zhongli, you have said so much that my head is dizzy. Can't you be more concise?"

Paimon held his head and said uncomfortably.

Zhongli glanced at the little guy, smiled helplessly, and said: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

"I see!"

"Zhongli, is this why you came down from your throne?"

"You don't want to bear that weight..."

“That’s not the reason.”

Before Paimeng could finish her words, Zhong Kai interrupted her and said, "Under the protection of me and the immortals, Liyue has spent so many years."

"Children have to grow up eventually."

"Even the hardest rock sometimes gets tired..."

“Liyue will be the Liyue of the Liyue people. After I step down from the throne of God…”

"After all this talk, it's finally wear and tear that has forced you to step down from your position as God, right?"

Zhongli: "..."

"Correct."

What else could he say?
If it weren't for the wear and tear, he wouldn't have gone to the Dark Sea, and he wouldn't have accidentally traveled through time with Paimon.

"Let's go, Paimon."

"I'll take you to the Xingdou Great Forest in a few days, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."

After hearing this, Paimon instantly became interested and his eyes widened!

Is this a journey about to begin?
Very good!
"What conditions? As long as you don't refuse to eat, Paimon will agree to it!"

"talk less."

"???"

"Why, as a guide, what do you know if I don't speak?"

Paimon said subconsciously.

"Is this the continent of Teyvat?"

"Oh, yes, this is Douluo Continent. You seem to know more than me."

"But why should I talk less?"

Zhongli was silent for a while, then he said: "You will know when the time comes."

"Ok."

Paimon felt a little disappointed. In the past, the Traveler never said such things, asking her to speak less!

Basically, she is the one who says it all. Some people even say that she is an external organ, the Mouth of God.

Bah, the devil's mouth!

Paimon is Paimon!

"Well, Mr. Zhongli, look, this bill..."

Just then, the shop owner came over and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Yesterday, these three people bought things on credit and submitted the bills to the Prince's Mansion, setting a precedent.

Are you planning to hang up your debt again today?

Don't say it, really don't say it.

Zhongli took out Ning Fengzhi's token, handed it to the shop owner, and said, "Just send the bill to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."

The shop owner looked at the token, then looked at Zhongli, his eyes twitched and felt a little numb...
