Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

It returned from the earth, and now it is returning to the earth.

Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the golden rain.

"I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine... but alas, when will I see my old friend again?"

"Perhaps this parting is forever."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Fang Xun remembered the puppet he had won in the lottery.

He quickly took the doll out of his backpack.

The doll was initially only the size of a palm, but if elemental power were infused into it,

So the doll eventually grew to the same size as a normal person.

Fang Xun was somewhat curious.

Could the remaining, undying good intentions of the Dragon King Ruoduo be stored within this puppet?

Let the Dragon King Ratna begin a new life in another way?

Fang Xun placed the doll below the Immortal Spirit Court, and then looked at Zhong Li.

"Mr. Zhongli, these are unique dolls from my hometown,"

"Infusing it with elemental power can make it grow to the size of an adult and contain a soul,"

"Perhaps we can use this to help King Nagatana."

Zhongli was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a puppet growing by infusing it with elemental power.

The idea of ​​using dolls to save people is unheard of.

However, given the current situation, it's worth a try.

Following Fang Xun's instructions, Zhong Li infused the doll with rock elemental power.

The doll emitted a golden light and continued to expand.

It grew until it reached the size of an adult before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, the light from the Celestial Court entered the puppet.

The doll lay there quietly, without any reaction.

Fang Xun and Zhong Li exchanged a glance, realizing that the puppet might not be effective.

Zhongli withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "Ruo Tuo has already left. I will hold the most solemn ceremony for him through the Hall of Rebirth."

Fang Xun nodded, also preparing to put the doll away.

But then they discovered that the doll had moved without warning.

"Morax, I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead?"

Chapter 88 The Secret to Unlocking the Lock of the Mortal World

When the soul of the Dragon King Ratna entered the puppet, the puppet gained independent consciousness.

Under the watchful eyes of Fang Xun and Zhong Li, the puppet slowly stood up.

At this moment, the Dragon King Ruoduo is diligently adapting to his new body.

Although he has now become a puppet,

Fortunately, the doll was very well made.

Whether it's facial features or limbs, there's no difference between them and a normal person.

Just like the puppets made by General Raiden,

The difference between the two is that the body of the Dragon King Ratna possesses a unique soul and independent consciousness.

For a moment, King Ruoduo looked at his hands with an expression of disbelief.

He had previously felt his consciousness gradually fading and his body becoming lighter and lighter.

Then a powerful and irresistible drowsiness swept over me.

King Ruoduo knew that it was a sign that he was leaving the world.

He accepted death with great equanimity.

However, this feeling of ascending did not last long; King Naga felt his body rapidly sinking.

Then, he suddenly woke up.

When the Dragon King Ruoduo opened his eyes again, he found himself transformed into a puppet.

That's...quite unbelievable.

He never imagined he could be resurrected.

Does Teyvat really possess such technology?

King Ruoduo was unaware of this, after all, he had been asleep for a thousand years.

A thousand years can turn a boy into an immortal, turn the ocean into mulberry fields, and change so much.

Perhaps there really is technology beyond his imagination.

Bringing his thoughts back, the Dragon King Ruoduo looked up at Fang Xun with gratitude.

He knew very well that Fang Xun had given him a second life.

At the same time, the Dragon King Naga noticed that all his power had disappeared.

He lost the Dragon King's unparalleled power, indestructible armor, and dragon might that was as enduring as the mountains and seas.

Right now, he's just an ordinary Liyue person, nothing special.

After a brief moment of surprise, King Ratna Nagatana gladly accepted his new identity.

It's good to be an ordinary person.

He has toiled for thousands of years; it's time for him to settle into a peaceful life.

It would be even better if Morax could retire as well.

Back then, two people could leisurely drink tea, walk their birds, and go to teahouses to listen to storytellers.

That's actually a pretty good lifestyle.

It's unclear what Morax's intentions are.

We'll find an opportunity to see Morax's attitude later.

If you can retire, then retire.

The Liyue of today is no longer the Liyue of the past.

Even gods probably don't need to constantly watch over the kingdom they are protecting, right?

Isn't it great to relax and enjoy life after retirement?

Meanwhile, Zhongli, standing to the side, looked at the now vigorous and energetic Dragon King Ruotu, and a ripple appeared in his golden eyes.

I never expected the doll Fang Xun brought to be so magical.

The soul of the Dragon King Ratna can be collected, thus granting him a new life.

In this light, the stranger named Fang Xun appears even more mysterious.

Even the Rock King Emperor felt an unfathomable depth when facing Fang Xun.

Of course, besides being surprised, Zhongli was mostly happy.

Because he had witnessed one old friend after another leave, never to return.

He really has very few friends left.

The return of the Dragon King Ratna means that he no longer has to endure the pain of losing his old friend.

At the very least, having old friends around makes dealing with wear and tear a bit easier.

Zhongli looked at the puppet in front of him, and then slowly said, "Ruo Tuo, how are you feeling?"

King Rota raised his head and said with a light laugh, "No need to worry, Morax,"

"I'm in good condition right now. If I really have to say what's wrong, it's that I'm very hungry. I wish I could eat something."

"After all, the last time I ate was a thousand years ago."

King Ruoduo the Dragon King also chimed in with a joke.

Logically speaking, dolls shouldn't need to eat to maintain a normal life.

But the Dragon King Ruo Tuo always felt that life was missing a great pleasure if he didn't eat.

After all, even Morax, a god, had a passion for good food.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Fat Tuo."

Even if he were reborn, the first thing he would do is cook rice.

In response, Fang Xun smiled and said, "Liyue now has many more delicious dishes. Mr. Zhongli and I can take you to try them."

King Ruoduo hummed in agreement, having picked up on a piece of information.

"Is Morax's earthly name Zhongli? Then I should also have an earthly name."

Does "Zhongli" mean he is ultimately leaving?

"Then I will call myself Zhongju, so that even if we part, we will eventually meet again someday."

King Ruotu raised his head to look at Zhongli and said with a smile, "Morax, what do you think of my name, Zhongju?"

Zhongli said calmly, "It's alright, you can decide."

King Ruoduo's smile deepened: "Then it's settled."

Seeing the brothers reunited, Fang Xun couldn't help but smile.
