People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 328: Work is over, Zhongli goes to the banquet (Happy New Year!)
The plan is complete and the opportunity has arrived.
With the help of the ground veins connecting the entire Liyue under his feet, the influence of the rock attribute power reached the correct node in an instant.

At this moment when my perception was unprecedentedly sharp,

Even though Lin Feng did not specifically accept the wishes of the people around him,

However, due to his own immense spiritual power that far surpassed that of ordinary gods, he still resonated with the thousands of wishes hanging high in the sky:

".I want to grow taller next year."

".I hope my family will be safe in the coming year."

".Make lots and lots of bouncing bombs."

"Be good friends with Lulu"

"I found the person I like."

"My mother agreed to let me have a puppy."

".Always by my side"

"."

Be it specific, general, grand, or small,

Countless wishes poured into Lin Feng's ears in an instant.

At first, these sounds were noisy, complex, and had little in common.

It seems that everyone has different expectations for the future.

But then, these countless wishes simplified, intertwined, resonated, and merged.
The sea of ​​sky lights, as bright as sparks, finally converged into the simplest and purest wish for the future:
——That is, I hope that tomorrow, which has not yet arrived, will be more perfect than the present.

The lantern carrying the wishes slowly flew up into the sky.

A far greater force of will than ever before was gathering in the skies above Liyue.

There is no need to set up any large formation, nor to rely on magic or divine power.
At this special moment, Lin Feng only slightly gathered these originally loose wishes.

Even the ancient demon gods had to try their best to hide themselves.
Not to mention going out and causing trouble, even just protecting oneself from being dispersed by such a great wish power is already very difficult.

at the same time,

On the north side of the brightly lit Liyue Harbor, Guiliyuan, which had been shrouded in darkness, suddenly began to glow.

Countless green and golden points of light slowly rise from the depths of the earth.
Facing the ocean of sky lanterns hanging high in the sky, the power that had long been buried in the earth's veins finally waited for the moment to appear.

The dream-like scene lasted only a moment.

Under the control of the two great powers, the scattered elemental forces mixed with the overwhelming willpower condensed into several ring-shaped ripples of different colors.

As a power that carries the authority of Lin Feng's own will and the people's faith,
This powerful elemental impact quickly spread out from its original center point to all directions at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, countless dark resentments were expelled from the earth without reservation.
But before these defeated remnants could vent their anger to the world,
The dark forces that had supported their existence until now were completely purified and returned to the land itself in the subsequent elemental impact.

"."

Perhaps this once fertile land has finally escaped from the curse that lasted for thousands of years.
As the earth's veins vibrated, an unprecedentedly clear memory of Liyue's origin also appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

This made him pause as he was sorting out the flow of the Bishui River to prevent it from bursting in the future.

On the other side, at the Lantern Festival venue in Liyue Harbor,

Countless people who were still praying were surprised to find that the lanterns that were originally floating in disorder into the sky,

At this moment, it's as if we are united by some common vision.
Following closely behind the two bright lanterns in front of them that symbolized the gods,

As time went by, the golden dragon and unicorn continued to circle in the sky, but the originally scheduled explosion did not come.

Instead, in the vortex formed by countless sky lanterns, a clear scene like a painting gradually emerged.

"..This. What is this?"

"——Could it be that the two gods have manifested their powers?!"

The people below initially thought that this was a performance planned by the General Affairs Department, and began to discuss it.

But soon, a sentence quietly emerged in everyone's mind, which not only eliminated all confusion in an instant, but also pushed the festive atmosphere to its highest point:

".The Lantern Festival summons the heroic spirits,
This time I am citing your wishes from afar, and if I can get something,
It's a pity that I'm the only one who can appreciate the ups and downs of the past thousand years.
I would rather take this as a small return gift and invite you to watch it with me."

"."

No one knows which god created this wonder.
Even after hearing this passage, they no longer had the energy to explore the information behind it:

——The picture above the sky has become clearer and clearer, and an indescribable sense of impact has occupied the hearts of all the viewers present.

Just like an ink painting slowly unfolding in the sky of Liyue,

At first, this "memory of the earth" was colorless,
But soon, boundless elements surged from the sky,
Red, blue, cyan, green, purple, and gold, the vast sea of ​​six elements gathered from all over the world, but not for destruction, but just as the words said, as a return gift to the wishes of all living beings,
Under the shock of all spirits and creatures,
A bard who had found two bottles of wine from somewhere wiped his mouth.

Then, a wisp of flowing wind quietly filled the only gap between the elements.
In an instant, the seven elements came together.

The memories that emerged due to the turbulence in Guiliyuan's earth veins, which even extended far beyond Liyue's 3700 years of history, gradually became clearer.

".All peoples walk together, all races govern together,
Just because of a decree from the heavens one night, dozens of demon gods fought endlessly.

The mountains and rivers are covered in blood, the demons are killing,
After thousands of years, the four directions finally came together.

After that, there was today's Liyue."

".Things like these, even though I haven't recalled them for a long time,
This New Year's gift from you is quite a surprise."

Looking at the unique "fireworks" in the sky,
Zhongli, who had already noticed Guiliyuan's changes, sighed.

For a moment, he was filled with emotion at the New Year gift from Lin Feng:
——After the power wave just swept through,

The vast and extremely valuable plain north of Liyue Harbor is no longer the unusable "poisonous land" of the past.

The remaining poison is completely swept away, the dead trees come back to life, the river is dredged and the embankment is built, and the remaining souls return to the earth.
Any one of these tasks alone would be a miracle that is extremely difficult to achieve even for immortals and gods.

But in the hands of the young man in front of him, the energy consumed to do these things was not even as much as the unprecedented fireworks in the sky.

"."

"You're welcome, old man. Guiliyuan's problem was one of the problems I originally planned to solve.

Now that we have enough power and the right time,

So restoring such a piece of land that was polluted during the war to normal is just a matter of course, not a surprise."

"——As for the real 'surprise' of this Lantern Festival, I am not the only one involved. You should have a good idea of ​​it." He felt that Zhongli could not be completely unaware of their actions during this period. The most likely possibility was that they chose to turn a blind eye because of a tacit understanding between the two parties.
Since the time has come to reveal the answer to the mystery, Lin Feng also tried to find out the answer during this exchange of consciousness.

"."

I didn't get an answer, but silence is actually the best answer.

Shaking his head in his heart, he confirmed that his initial guess was indeed correct.

"——The Lantern Festival is over, but we still have guests here. Old man, we can't just leave without saying goodbye."

"——As for the contract and the subsequent arrangements for returning to the original place, let's discuss it in detail after the event ends."

After a brief conversation in my mind, I made some arrangements for what was to come.
In reality, like countless ordinary people, Lin Feng looked up at the painting in the sky.
As if he had finally recovered from the shock, he turned to look at the guests around him.

“——Wow, I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful scene. The Lantern Festival is amazing!
Ying, can we come together again next year? ! "

I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in Guiliyuan.
What impact will the addition of such a large area of ​​available land have on Liyue's future?
After the Lantern Festival, which was just like reading a comic strip for a certain white-haired kid,
After eating to his heart's content, Paimon rubbed his belly with great satisfaction and invited the blonde girl beside him to come back next time.

"."

"Hmm? Ying, what's wrong with you? Did you have a stomach upset?"

When Paimon realized that he didn't get an immediate response from his partner, he flew up in confusion, wanting to see what the reason was.

".It's nothing, I was just distracted.

It's getting late, Paimon, let's go and say goodbye to our other friends."

He shook his head and told the concerned tour guide that he was fine.
The blonde girl also took a deep breath and decided to temporarily put aside the scene of the seven elements coming together from her mind:

For ordinary people and even the holders of the Eye of God, they may not realize what kind of terrifying power the scene just now represented.

But as a traveler who had once roamed the sea of ​​stars, she had an inexplicable intuition:

——The "fireworks" that seemed to be only worth watching as a gift from the gods just now, if the power contained in them was used to attack,

Then, with the level of power that was far beyond the ordinary that he had just sensed, perhaps it was not inferior to the "maintainer of heaven's law" that he had faced in the past.

It may even exceed that.
I have no idea what kind of existence would have such a strong power to show comic strips at festivals.
Her expectations of the power of the gods of Teyvat also rose again:
——If the strength of that "Sustainer of Heaven's Law" is not an isolated case, and the seven rulers that he is going to visit all have this level of power,
Then the danger of this journey may be far beyond what I imagined at the beginning.
I sighed in my heart, feeling that my goal of finding my brother was still a long and arduous journey.
The blonde girl can only hope that the next gods she meets will be as easy to deal with as the God of Rock and the God of Grass.
"Goodbye everyone!"

“If you have fun at this Lantern Festival, you are welcome to visit Wangsheng Hall with your family and friends next year!”

"."

"Um, thank you for the invitation.
But why do I always feel something is weird?"

With a somewhat subtle expression, he accepted Master Hu's invitation.
Paimon, who had a happy meal and a great game, also waved his hand.
Following Ying and Mona beside him, he left the Lantern Festival venue.

".Qiqi, I'm sleepy. Goodbye."

The purple-haired little zombie also waved his hand.

He left with Bai Zhu, who had no intention of asking any more questions.

"Master Haben is also sleepy, why don't you just go and see Qiqi off?

——Guest, don't get into any danger on this dark and windy night. I'll leave the remaining guests to you.

If you do well, I will help you settle last month's bill tomorrow."

Zhongli: “.” What danger could there be in this?
"Haha, Master Hu, please rest assured. We still have some military force on us.

Even if we encounter enemies like the treasure-stealing group on the way back, we will still be able to fight back to some extent."

Sensing that Master Hu was concerned about everyone's safety,

Lin Feng smiled and showed the "Eyes of God" on several people.
After scanning these five glittering glass balls that were considered standard equipment for gods,

Kurumi, who had never thought that this thing could be a decoration, nodded with relief.
He jumped and chased after Qiqi in front of him and left.

"."

".Ahem, what a coincidence.

I suddenly remembered that I left a bottle of wine at the venue and forgot to take it. Do you have things to do if you stay here?"

Zhongli: "."

Looking at Wendy who disappeared halfway and suddenly appeared from the side,
Even though he was well prepared to cooperate with the performance, Zhongli still couldn't hold himself together for a moment.

"."

Seeing no response,

Although they were sure that Zhongli probably knew what they were preparing, they still had to go through the formalities.
Lin Fengruotuo and Wendy looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

"—Wow! Old man, look!"

"——There are clouds in the sky and a giant octopus is flying!"

Looking at the exaggerated movements and the tone of a certain bard in front of me,

Zhongli, who had decided to cooperate to the end, was silent for a moment.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked upwards, trying to keep his facial expression as tense as possible, and spoke in the same calm tone as before:
".Where?"

"——Ahem, old man, go away!"

Although the process is a bit abstract, I have to finish the plan I made.

Seeing that the time has come,

Lin Feng and Ruo Tuo, who were standing on the left and right of Zhongli, put their hands on Zhongli's shoulders with the quickest movements.

After giving a reminder,
He teleported directly to the predetermined target, activating his own rock elemental power at the fastest speed.

Guiliyuan, the banquet venue.

With a flash of golden light,
In front of many immortals who had been waiting for a long time, the last few guests of the banquet finally arrived at their destination.

"."

Zhongli, who had not put up any resistance, sighed and silently pushed away the drunken hands covering his eyes.
But even though I had anticipated the scene here,

The moment he opened his eyes and saw the scene, he seemed to have returned to his past thousands of years.

Still standing there in a daze.
