[Chongyun: How come you've heard of everything...?]
[Naxi Da: Judging from Xingqiu's remarks and performance in the video, he is indeed a well-read person.]
[Xingqiu: Please excuse my poor attempt.]
This is how Ruo Tuo evaluates Kun Jun.
Zhongli teased, "You're still the same as ever, you really favor blacksmiths."
"Swords have no eyes, but craftsmen have feelings. Aren't human feelings the things that mankind is most proud of?"
After a pause, Zhongli suddenly spoke.
"Ruo Tuo, I am no longer the Rock God."
Ruoda said he could sense it.
Zhongli continued, "Right now, I am just an ordinary Liyue person."
Ruoduo was somewhat worried.
"Even you've come this far... Let me be frank, I can't guarantee there won't be another shock that will wake me up next time."
Zhongli turned around and looked in the direction of Liyue Harbor.
"It's alright. Even if that day comes, the people of Liyue should be prepared to face you."
Ruoduo asked him, "Is it feasible to have Liyue without the Geo Archon and the Regent?"
"If there were no gods in the world, this would be the kingdom of men. I was once the god of men, and I should witness the rise and fall of mankind."
Keqing: We, the Liyue Seven Stars, can definitely do it!
[Ningguang: I'm sure the Emperor already has the answer in his heart.]
[True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind: Hmph, this immortal has not yet truly acknowledged you.]
Ruo Tuo stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhong Li once again.
The two gazed in the direction of Liyue Harbor.
"Every life will be worn down and deteriorate over time. You are the strongest soul among us, yet even you have been worn down by it."
"But it doesn't matter, the cause and effect are in the hands of fate. If our mission has come to an end, we should bravely embark on the road to departure."
As he spoke, he seemed to have let go of his resentment.
He turned to Zhongli and said.
"You may live forever and be destined to be alone, but that is only temporary."
"When you reach the end of time, you will reunite with all those you have been connected with in the past and future."
Zhongli joked that, in terms of lifespan, Ruo Tuo, a being created from elements, naturally had a longer lifespan.
Ruoduo suddenly asked, "Did you hesitate back then in the Abyss of Layered Rocks?"
“If rocks can have hearts, so can I. But I am the God of Contracts. I was once the god of the people of Liyue.”
Ruo Tuo knew that Zhong Li had always been like this.
Therefore, Ruoda voluntarily gave up everything.
Even at his peak, Zhongli might not have been a match for Ruoda.
Not to mention sealing it.
As a friend of the God of Contracts.
He chose to divide it in two.
This is the last resort to upholding the contract.
The light emanating from Ruoduo gradually faded.
"Are you leaving?"
"Morax, if fate allows, we will meet again someday."
After saying that, Kunjun's body collapsed limply.
Ruoduo fell into a long sleep once again.
[Paimon: Now the one lying on the ground is the real Kunjun, right?]
Charlotte: I'm a little curious about what happened to the strata I just mentioned.
[Ying: Everyone's seen this short video. Do you still want to use it as a newspaper article?]
Charlotte: Not everyone has time to watch this. I've already written many stories for the videos.
[Kaiya: See that? That's what you call professional.]
after awhile.
Old Dai and his group of miners came out.
I saw Kunjun lying on the ground.
Although I don't know what happened, I had just promised to go back to Liyue Harbor together.
So he volunteered to take Kunjun back with him.
Zhongli seemed to have more to say.
He led Yingmei to the stone tablet.
“A thousand years ago, when Ruoduo attacked the Abyss of Layered Rocks, I personally stopped him.”
“We fought and battled him all the way from the abyss to this place, and finally knocked him down and sealed him underground.”
"The Dragon-Suppressing Stone was born from that great battle."
"Ruo Tuo has an instinctive sense of the Dragon-Suppressing Stone and subconsciously wants to use this item to find me."
Zhongli was somewhat moved.
"In the end, although I defeated him, it was not because he was inferior to me."
“He still harbors feelings for me, for Liyue, and for all life on Earth.”
"He was sealed away voluntarily, but unfortunately, he has forgotten it due to wear and tear."
Ying asked, "And what about you?"
"I cannot escape it either, but I understand one principle better than most people: when it is time to leave, you must leave."
"The greater the power, the greater the danger it poses once it is worn down."
"Even rocks, eroded by thousands of years, will occasionally feel weary."
[Gan Yu: So... this is the real reason why the Emperor relinquished his divine duties.]
[Paimon: But now Zhongli's identity has been exposed in the video!]
Zhongli: The system's compensation is acceptable.
Wendy: He's just not fulfilling his divine duties anymore. If there's real danger, the old man will still step in.
"Sealling an old friend with my own hands is one of the wear and tear I have experienced."
"In order to find the right path, people constantly give up and lose. Perhaps this is the wear and tear that fate inflicts upon me."
"But I am a god among men, and no matter how my identity changes, I will witness the history of mankind with my eyes."
Paimon said, "You still care about Liyue..."
"It's nothing, just my duty."
"Thank you so much this time."
The video ends.
------
The system's voice rang in Zhong Li's mind.
Hello, Zhongli
Zhongli asked, "How many videos of me did it take to bring Ruotu back to his senses?"
'Think what you want.'
'So what's your opinion? Are you willing to give up part of your compensation?'
'Let the Dragon King Nagato merge with him and regain his sanity.'
Chapter 141 Yingmei Starts a War
Zhongli did not hesitate to choose to restore Ruo Tuo's sanity.
He knew the system could do it.
He had no choice but to seal Ruoda away in the first place.
Sealing away old friends also aggravated his own wear and tear.
Now that such an opportunity has come up, we should naturally seize it.
The system received a reply from Zhongli.
They took him directly to the seal.
Then, a stream of white energy flew into the seal.
The earth trembled.
The seal has been broken.
A blond man appeared from the void.
He stood before Zhongli.
The style of his clothes was exactly the same as Zhongli's.
He looked at the person in front of him and felt that the person's aura was very familiar.
However, my mind is a bit muddled right now.
