Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Zhongli handed the Heart of the Rock God to the lady, saying, "Hmm... the contract is complete. As you requested, I grant you what is promised."

Afterwards, Zhongli explained to Ying why he faked his death and the contract he had with the Ice Queen.

"As you know, I have lived for over six thousand years and co-founded Liyue with the immortals. That was three thousand seven hundred years ago."

"The rock that cannot be broken by the whirlpool will also be worn away by the erosion of time. It's just that I have been convincing myself that the day when it will be worn away and cracked has not come yet."

"Until one drizzly day, I was strolling along the harbor when I overheard a merchant praising his subordinate: 'You have fulfilled your duty; now, go and rest.'"

"At that time, I stood for a long time among the passing crowd. I kept asking myself: Have I completed my duties?"

"But when I started to consider whether I should step down from my divine position, I realized that I still had many reasons why I couldn't leave."

"Liyue, the land that walks with the gods, is it ready to enter the next era? I must create an opportunity to observe carefully before making a decision."

"That's why I staged this fake death, dragging the young master, the immortal, and the Seven Stars of Liyue into the chaos."

Ying asked him, "Are you satisfied with the result now?"

"Although the video disrupted my plans to some extent, the result was still acceptable. Especially Qixing's answer sheet, which exceeded my expectations..."

...

The matter is finally over.

The young master and lady returned to winter to pay homage to the Queen.

Ying, along with Zhongli, participated in the ceremony to send off the immortals.

Knowing Zhongli's identity was a strange feeling for Ying; it was the first time she had ever seen someone personally arrange her funeral.

Along the way, the people were all talking about who had assassinated the emperor.

According to them, the diplomats seemed to want to shift the blame onto the young master.

However, the reason given by the Liyue Seven Stars was: they failed to transcend the tribulation and were struck by lightning and died.

Upon arriving at Yujing Terrace, the ceremony to send off the immortals was almost over.

Ningguang, representing the seven stars, is giving a speech.

"As mentioned earlier, the Emperor's soul returned to the heavens, signifying the severance of the contract and the end of an era."

"The people of Liyue were once happy, forgetting the cruelty of time in their happiness."

"After the contract is established, will you—bless the next era?"

After Ningguang finished her speech, the audience members had different thoughts.

Ying followed Zhongli away from the crowd; she still had some questions to ask.

Paimon: "The people of Liyue feel they'll never see the Geo Archon again. Zhongli, look at this atmosphere of remembrance and mourning..."

"Why do you look so relaxed?"

"Hahaha...Won't it be a little easier to be relieved of the burden that has been lifted up for 3,700 years?"

"By the way, when are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner at Xinyuexuan."

Paimon, hands on hips, looked disdainfully at the Rock King Emperor—the creator of Mora. "Hmph, stop bragging, Zhongli. I can believe the 'Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbor' saying, but Crescent Moon Pavilion even charges for tea. Can you really afford that?"

"So, Mora is indeed not enough."

Ying was somewhat confused and asked him, "Why exactly is Morax short of Mora?"

"As the Rock King Morax, I can naturally create Mora with ease. But since I have chosen the identity of a mortal like Zhongli, I should abide by the rules of mortals."

"Throughout my journey with you, though the heart of God remains in my hands, I know I will soon step down from my position as one of the Seven Gods. How can I not... rehearse a little about my new life ahead?"

Paimon shrugged: "Hmm...no wonder! I understand now. Zhongli never looks at the price when he spends money, it turns out it's because he's not used to looking at prices."

"But he's not used to not being able to conjure Mora whenever he wants. That's why he's become a social outcast, always freeloading and expecting others to pay for his meals..."

Ying rolled her eyes. "If you can talk, then publish a book."

"No...it was just some money from the Fools, you don't have to make me sound like that."

Afterwards, Zhongli shared some information about Inazuma and General Raiden.

Examples include the Eye Hunting Edict and the policy of national seclusion.

As for the principles of Heaven, Zhongli could not say more due to the contract.

It seems we can only wait for the video to reveal more details.

------

For the next few days, Yingdu had nothing to do but take on a daily quest and spend his time eating and drinking with Paimon.

According to Ningguang, they need to wait for a captain to get to Inazuma through the thunderstorm.

As for when she will return to Liyue Harbor, that remains unknown.

However, Liyue is quite nice. The people here are very pleasant to talk to, and the food at Wanmintang is novel, delicious, and plentiful.

There's no need to rush to Inazuma to get struck by lightning.

That day, Ying had just finished her commission and was about to go to Wanmintang for dinner when the short video system, which had disappeared for a long time, finally reappeared.

Chapter 82 Liyue's Know-It-All: Nobody Understands the Geo King Better Than Me

The light screen suddenly appeared; many days had passed since the last time they released the footprints and made their escape.

Hello everyone, this system is back!

[Ying: You also work one day on, three days off?]

[Araki Ichito: I'm so bored, hurry up!]

[Hiruzen: Boss! You've got a short video addiction!]

[Funinga: After so many days of rest, aren't you going to work overtime today?]

Wendy: The system is also a free system; overtime is not an option.

[Qin: Indeed, it disappeared immediately after it finished playing last time, without the slightest hesitation.]

...

Because the delay was so long, everyone was complaining wildly in the chat room.

But the system remained unmoved and proceeded with the opening sequence according to its pre-set program.

As you all know, the Geo Archon of Liyue has passed away.

Even someone as powerful as him will eventually pass away.

'However, this system also contains stories about the passing of other demon gods.'

Through this story, you can glimpse a corner of the ancient war between demons and gods.

In the war between demons and gods, what path can one take without the power of an emperor?

Preparing to play: "Salt Flower"

The War of the Demon Gods is too long ago, and many Teyvats know little about it.

Therefore, everyone was in high spirits.

The video begins.

Ying and Paimeng were invited to the Pearl Pavilion. After boarding the ship, they saw a familiar figure.

Zhongli was here too.

Zhongli spotted the two of them. "Oh? I didn't expect to run into you here."

Wan Yan, who was sitting at the same table as Zhong Li, asked, "Are these two your friends?"

"I had the pleasure of meeting Ying and Paimeng some time ago. They are knowledgeable, erudite and talented. I felt very compatible with them."

Zhongli turned to Yingmei and asked, "We were just talking about the historical figure of Emperor Yan. Would you be interested in hearing more?"

The archaeologist Hanxue interjected, "This gentleman seems to underestimate the divine power of the Rock King. As a professional archaeologist, I would like to correct some of his views."

Yingmei was trying not to laugh, "Um... he actually..."

"We are discussing 'the whereabouts of the first Mora in history.'"

Now Ying and Paimon were also interested and wanted to hear it.

Yixuan, also an archaeologist, offered his own perspective.

"As we all know, under the guidance of the Geo Archon, the ancient people of Liyue smelted ores and used these as their first goods to trade with other nations around the world."

"Liyue now holds the sole right to forge Mora across the entire continent. And the world's first Mora was likely forged by the Geo Archon himself thousands of years ago."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

But all of them are within a reasonable range.

[Ying: The first Mora, sounds like it has considerable collectible value]

Paimon: What are you thinking? That was so many years ago.

[Gan Yu: Your Majesty...will you specially keep the first Mora?]

In the video.

There was another person named Hanxue who didn't speak, but unexpectedly, his words were quite profound.

"No, no, no, according to my research, the significance of this first Mora is not that simple."

"As is well known, Mora is a catalyst. Even today, there are still magical techniques that utilize Mora's mystical properties to enhance weapons."

"The world's first Mora must contain the strongest power. Therefore, my next historical work will boldly demonstrate the latest results of my ten years of dedicated research."

"That is—Prince Yan used this Mora as a catalyst to strengthen his sword and blade."

Paimon: "A sword and a blade?"

"Heh heh heh, then you'll have to buy the book to read the full text. Right now, I'll only reveal a small part: obtaining the sword will make you the Supreme Ruler of Liyue, and drawing it will crown you the King of Liyue—"

[Xingqiu: This sounds like something out of a novel.]

[Zhongli: I disagree, setting aside the authenticity of this sword and weapon research. The so-called Mora, the so-called money, was originally just a bargaining chip to facilitate the signing of contracts.]

[Zhongli: The Emperor's true intention was to guide humanity to use Mora for trade.]
