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

He was genuinely happy for Zhongli.

In the original storyline, Naga King Ratna bids farewell to Morax and falls into a deep sleep once more.

Morax silently endured the wear and tear, an indescribable loneliness.

When Fang Xun was working on Zhong Li's mission, he was truly filled with resentment.

But now things are better, which can be considered as making up for one of Zhongli's regrets.

Of course, besides Morax and Nagata,

Fang Xun also had one regret.

Morax and the End.

In the backstory, Gui Zhong is a mischievous, playful, and adorable demon god.

She was interested in Morax and repeatedly showed her affection.

Perhaps Morax's heart was as dull as a rock, and he was slow to realize it.

Or perhaps Morax never even considered romance?

He never responded to Gui Zhong's implied meaning.

This also led to Gui Zhong's anger, and he often said that Morax was a blockhead who didn't understand girls' feelings.

Despite her anger, she still loved Zhongli to the end.

even,

Gui Zhong also specially gifted Zhongli a weapon called the 'Locking of the Mortal World'.

He claimed that the lock contained all the wisdom of the ultimate truth and asked Zhongli to try to unlock it.

The little girl's thoughts were always so direct; she tried every means to attract Zhongli's attention.

Unfortunately,

Zhongli had not yet unlocked the 'locks of the mortal world' when Gui Zhong collapsed.

The war between the demon gods took her life.

Many players felt sorry for Gui Zhong, regretting that she couldn't end up with Zhong Li.

Many players, however, are curious about what exactly is inside the 'Lock of the Mortal World'.

Fang Xun was also very curious.

He noticed that the Worldly Lock in his backpack was resonating powerfully with the wild glass lilies.

The lock of the mortal world shimmered with dazzling light and made a clear, tinkling sound.

Fang Xun tried to put the two together.

The wild, crystal-clear lily floated effortlessly above the Lock of the Mortal World.

The pure white petals quickly peeled away and entered the lock of the mortal world.

In a short while, the pattern of glass lilies appeared faintly on the design of the Lock of the Mortal World.

Even so, the lock of worldly constraints remains unbroken.

After spinning around for a while, it stopped.

Just one step away, just one final step away, and we can unlock the wisdom left behind by the finality.

But what exactly is that final step?

At this moment, Fang Xun noticed that the Lock of the Mortal World was resonating with Zhong Li.

No, to be precise, it resonated with the earthly lock on Zhongli's body!

Fang Xun immediately realized that the Worldly Lock in his hand was the same as the Worldly Lock that Zhong Li possessed!

The wear and tear of time can erode everything, including the locks of the world.

The lock that Fang Xun fished up might be a part of what time has worn away.

Fang Xun immediately took out the Worldly Lock from his backpack and walked step by step toward Zhong Li.

When Zhongli saw the Mortal Lock in Fang Xun's hand, he was clearly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Because he possessed the exact same earthly lock, a gift from the underworld.

Zhongli didn't understand why Fang Xun possessed the same mortal lock.

He did not ask.

Because the Worldly Lock in Fang Xun's hand transformed into light and poured into his lock.

The three people present saw the Earthly Lock light up rapidly, as if it had come to life.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a click.

The locks of the mortal world were unlocked in an instant.

Then, a woman's voice came from inside the lock.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that even this lock, meticulously designed by Lord Guizhong, couldn't stump you."

“I underestimated you, Morax.”

"I admit you're better than me now, but that doesn't change the fact that you're a blockhead!"

The female voice was playful and cute.

It is a message from the God of Dust who has returned to his final days.

Chapter 89 Return to the End: I Want to Cover the Mountains and Fields with Glass Lilies

Hearing Gui Zhong's message, Fang Xun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Is this the so-called all the wisdom that Gui Zhong left to Zhong Li?

Upon hearing Gui Zhong's message, the corner of Naga King Ruo Tuo's mouth twitched slightly.

No one in the entire Liyue region would dare to call Morax a piece of wood.

That's just like that girl's personality.

Zhongli remained silent, standing quietly.

He seemed so calm and at peace.

However, those calm golden eyes rippled slightly after hearing Gui Zhong's voice.

Zhong Li subconsciously pictured a girl with long, flowing hair, wearing a long-sleeved coat, and with eyes that curved when she smiled.

The girl's voice was melodious and pleasant to listen to, the kind that you'd still find beautiful no matter how many times you listened to it.

Zhongli looked at the Worldly Lock in his hand, then whispered, "Return to the End..."

"It's been a long time since I've heard that girl's voice. Hearing it again now evokes a different feeling."

The mortal lock in Zhongli's hand continued to hold messages.

From inside the lock came Gui Zhong's reproachful voice: "Morax, you clearly know how to unlock the secret of this lock, so why can't you understand some of what I'm saying?"

"I don't know if you're pretending to be stupid or if you really are. I've made it so obvious, and you haven't reacted at all."

"Do I have to spell out the real meaning of those words for you to understand? But as a girl, how could I possibly say that..."

"Morax, you stupid idiot, you're driving me crazy!"

"I really don't know why I would fall for someone as dense as you, always making myself miserable."

Gui Zhong's angry voice came from within the lock of the mortal world.

Just listening to this sound,

It's not hard to imagine a cute girl pouting in anger.

Ultimately, she is a demon god, but also a quirky and mischievous little girl.

King Ruoduo was somewhat embarrassed and caught in a dilemma.

Is this something he can listen to for free?

Morax remained silent, his attention focused on the Lock of the Mortal World.

The recording of the final moments slowly drifted in.

"Morax, you big bad guy, all you do is bully me. You'd better stick to your guns and never be with me again."

"Otherwise, I would definitely have ten or eight children for you. With so many babies to raise, you wouldn't even have time to cry."

"Hmph, no way! Just thinking about you pretending to be clueless makes me angry!"

"I want a lifetime, um... five hundred years, never mind, I'm going to ignore you for a whole day."

"Ugh! I've ignored you all day! Do you realize how serious this is?"

"Unless, unless you come to me right away after hearing this message."

"Otherwise, I'm ignoring you! This time it's for real!"

Listening to Gui Zhong's message, a piece of Zhong Li's long-worn memory seemed to become bright and clear again.

He remembered that when Gui Zhong handed him this lock of worldly affairs, he did seem quite unhappy.

She pouted, looking sullen.

At that time, Zhongli didn't understand what was going on, nor did he know why Gui Zhongsheng was so resentful.

Now he understands.

It turns out that Gui Zhong originally hoped he would go to her.

That smart yet shy girl named Gui Zhong,

He left the things he wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say inside the lock.

Zhongli felt that,

If only he had known about the recording inside the Lock of the Mortal World sooner...
