"Here, I will gradually pass on the position of the Rock God to my disciple, who will be the next Rock God."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light shone in the sky, and Jiang Ning slowly descended from the sky and stood on the platform.
His seclusion for many days had allowed him to absorb the authority of the Vortex Demon God, which, along with the soul power mutated from the Necromancer Demon God and the power of the Noble Gold God copied and absorbed from his master, was another complete power.
"Jiangning?!"
"Isn't he Lord Gan Yu's junior brother? That immortal disciple?"
"What? How did you become the Emperor's disciple?"
"Nonsense, it must be the Emperor's decision!"
"Wait, I remember he only called that immortal who had just arrived in Liyue 'Master,' and also... Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth?"
"Could it be that?!"
"No wonder Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, is so learned and talented, and he seems to have a maturity and composure that is beyond his years. Is he actually the Emperor in disguise?"
"Holy crap, the Emperor once ate at my house and said the food was delicious."
"Me too! The Emperor enjoys listening to my storytelling!"
"We've brought honor to our ancestors, family members!"
The audience below started talking all at once, and as they discussed it, they basically pieced together some of Zhong Li's unusual behavior and completely exposed his true identity.
Zhong Li, standing under his hood, felt a jolt in his heart.
Oh no, my disguise is gone.
Xianyun on the stage also found it somewhat amusing.
Back then, the Emperor made Jiang Ning call him "Master," which was a trap he set for himself.
"No way?! The ancestral graves of Wangshengtang are emitting auspicious smoke? My goodness, this is truly unbelievable."
The most shocking thing is that Hu Tao, the head of Liyue, works at the Hall of Rebirth.
Then what am I, the owner of the Hall of Rebirth? The retired emperor of Liyue?
"Ahem... Silence."
Ningguang stepped in to take control of the situation.
"The Emperor is already tired. From now on, anyone who dares to disturb the Emperor without permission will not be let off lightly."
Ke Qing also said.
The Emperor trusts the people of Liyue so much and has sacrificed so much for Liyue. He will continue to protect them silently in the future. Keqing will not allow anyone with ulterior motives to disturb the Emperor.
Although everyone remained silent, some wealthy businessmen kept glancing at Hu Tao with burning eyes.
Thinking to himself, he must build a good relationship with the Hall of Rebirth in the future. Wasn't that Hall Master Hu partnered with Lord Ningguang and Lord Keqing to set up some kind of insurance company?
Moreover, the Emperor himself agreed to the laws that were promulgated...
I must arrange this insurance for all my employees; that's how I build a good relationship with Wangshengtang.
In Zhongli's hand, a long spear appeared, its body brownish-yellow with ancient patterns on it.
Those with extensive knowledge would immediately recognize it as a weapon from the War of the Demon Gods, used by the Emperor during his campaigns. It is arguably the most powerful and valuable weapon in all of Liyue.
The spear that pierces through the rainbow.
"This spear will be entrusted to you from now on. I hope you can protect Liyue well. Although you are only my successor now, when the time is right and everything is on the right track, you will naturally become the next Geo Archon."
Zhongli said slowly.
"You will definitely live up to your destiny."
Jiang Ning solemnly accepted the spear, then stepped forward and raised the spear high, facing the crowd.
The power and aura of the God of Noble Metal erupted simultaneously from Jiang Ning and Zhong Li.
Involuntarily, everyone present bowed down to respectfully send off the Rock King Emperor and welcome Jiang Ning, who would become the successor of the Rock God.
Zhongli looked at his disciple with a gentle gaze.
Everything is turning for the better.
I have retired, Liyue has grown up, and my disciples can succeed me when the time is right.
And news has been received about the items left behind by those old friends; some have even been found.

Xianyun and Gechen are also working overtime to create a celestial artifact that can nurture the remaining consciousness.
The only uncertainty is that during the battle with Oser some time ago, I sensed the aura of the end, but I couldn't sense it anymore very quickly, which is very strange.
As Jiang Ning felt the worship of thousands of people, a trace of unfamiliar energy gradually flowed into his body, making his own energy even stronger.
"This is……"
[The power of faith, host... The Heart of God is merely a storage device for absorbing the power of faith; a portion of it can be transferred to the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm.]
However, because you lack a divine heart, coupled with your unique absorption skills and purifying constitution, you are almost able to absorb 100% of the faith power of the people of Liyue... This can only benefit you, with no drawbacks.
"I see..." Jiang Ning was very happy.
[In addition, host, your mission to usurp the throne is complete. Rewards will be distributed...]
129. Preparing to revisit Mondstadt
[Rewards will be given: Method for creating an empty shell of the Demon God level]
Jiang Ning cheered inwardly. This thing came just in time. No matter how strong his powers were, his physical body was still lacking. Now, could his physical body catch up?
This is a production method, for others to use, not for my own...
"..." Jiang Ning was exhausted; his joy had been for nothing.
But then I was also a little happy, because this way, Heureia could be officially resurrected.
Including the fallen Asmodians of Liyue, this is quite a generous reward.
[Also, host, there's something I need to remind you... There used to be a reward for killing Oser, since they weren't from the same faction.]
[Originally, you were marked by a series of tags such as being suppressed by the enemy for a thousand years, a descendant of the enemy, and an object of revenge. Basically, to Oser, you are an absolute villain.]
[But because you killed him and his wife together, you did a good deed... triggering the tag, the couple returns home together.]
"...What kind of lousy labels are these? And now I understand, is your system just a naming feature?"
I don't know, I was assigned here right after graduation.
The system was delighted.
Jiang Ning has actually gotten used to the system's behavior; it's terrifying.
…………
Everything proceeded smoothly after the ceremonial procession. Zhongli was recognized by everyone, and after stepping off the stage, Hu Tao, who rushed backstage, pulled down his hood.
No one dares to stop Hu Tao now. Emperor's boss, are you scared?
Looking at the familiar face before her, Hu Tao stroked her chin and clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Tsk tsk tsk. I never expected that I, Hu Tao, would have such a Rock King Emperor as my guest minister. He is truly amazing."
"No wonder, Grandpa always told me that the guest in the house must be treated with utmost respect and must never be driven away."
"However, after all these years, you've spent my Mora. Shouldn't you settle accounts with me? If you really didn't have any Mora, that would be one thing, but the problem is you can create Mora. Shouldn't you get me a few million Mora?"
Looking at the mischievous Hu Tao, Zhong Li said, "Master, I am preparing to step down from my position as Rock God. Therefore, as an ordinary person, I should respect the lifestyle of ordinary people."
"Hey, hey, hey, what ordinary person spends money as extravagantly as you? I don't care, you still have to pay back Mora!"
Hu Tao was not having it, and directly reached her hand under Zhong Li's nose to ask for money.
Hu Tao was furious. She originally thought her guest was just really broke, but one day she suddenly found out that her guest could be the richest man in Teyvat if he wanted to.
Southern clam.
"Sigh..." Zhongli sighed. He was indeed still not good at dealing with this child.
The Thousand Rock Army soldiers all lowered their heads. If they had enough hands, they would have covered their ears completely. Damn it, could they please put down the black-tasseled spears for a moment? How could they possibly hear that?
Xianyun smiled gently.
As expected, just as the Emperor said, even if this Hall Master Hu knew his identity, his attitude probably wouldn't change much. He really is a remarkable person.
"If Hall Master Hu doesn't mind, I'll take care of the Emperor's expenses during this period. Just tell me how many Mora he needs."
Ningguang stepped forward.
"Ah? No need for that. I'm just a little upset. After all, he's a guest of our family, so he should pay for it... But, Zhongli, listen to me carefully. You can't slack off when there's business to do later."
Hu Tao glared at Zhong Li.
Zhongli sighed, "From a general rational point of view, I have always been conscientious and responsible in my work, and I have never shirked my duties."
"Oh, right, I just remembered something. The advertisement behind the Hall of Rebirth could say, 'Do you want the Emperor to personally handle your funeral arrangements? Then choose the Hall of Rebirth. The Rock King Emperor will personally handle it. You deserve it.'"
A mischievous glint flashed in Hu Taomeihua's eyes as he spoke.
"From a generally rational point of view, it's probably best not to..." Zhong Li said, feeling embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, since you've put it that way."
Hu Tao just wanted to mess around with Zhong Li anyway.
Zhongli said, "Then we'll leave first. Jiang Ning, come with me."
After saying that, a flash of golden light appeared, and Zhongli disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jiangning followed closely behind.
Seeing that the two main characters had left, Xiao also left in silence, while Xiaoyue sighed:
"Let's go back, let's go back... Liu Yun, will you leave with us?"
Xianyun crossed his arms and said, "Didn't the Emperor say that immortals are responsible for oversight? I think I'll stay in Liyue Harbor. My disciples are all here, and I'm still a little worried about them."
You two old men, get out of here! You're not including me in your group.
