Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

(How come this is different from what Master said?)

Therefore, Gan Yu was very flustered. She looked at Su Hao and Ke Qing and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Miss Ke Qing, I'll leave things to you. Mr. Su Hao, we can talk about things next time."

With that, Gan Yu hurriedly left, leaving Ke Qing stunned and speechless for a moment.

"It seems that Gan Yu is very concerned about the immortal, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng."

Watching Gan Yu leave in a hurry, Ke Qing looked at Su Hao and found an excuse to tell him not to pay attention to Gan Yu's strange behavior.

"Hmm." Su Hao chuckled inwardly. He naturally knew why Gan Yu had left in such a hurry—it was to avoid exposing his embarrassing past.

And if one day Gan Yu is added to the group and sees the Dragon King Ruotu in the group, she will probably be very happy at first.

Then when she learns that the Dragon King Ruoduo, like the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, is telling her about her past, I wonder if she will still be able to be happy.

Seeing that Su Hao didn't mind, Ke Qing was obviously relieved. After all, she had called him out, asked him a few questions, and then left in a hurry, using a very lame excuse.

This is still extremely impolite. Su Hao is not a Liyue citizen, and the other party is a member of the Thunder God's familiar. He doesn't need to be mindful of their feelings.

They were the ones who asked Su Hao for information, not the other way around. Besides, they were constantly being attacked in Liyue.

It's either the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, the Fools, or even the Abyss Order; it's just too tragic.

"By the way, Su Hao."

At this moment, Keqing seemed to have thought of something. She hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "I have a friend who longs for Liyue to achieve an era of human rule."

"It is not that everything is controlled by gods, but that humans take over the things managed by gods, and truly create everything with their own hands."

"However, her thinking has been wavering recently. Small things are fine, but if something big happens, she won't be able to rely on the power of immortals and emperors."

"Either we have to pay a huge price to solve it, or there's simply no way to solve it at all."

"Under these circumstances, is it truly possible to achieve human-led governance in Liyue?"

As Ke Qing spoke, she looked at Su Hao, as if to ask him what his opinion was on the matter.

This is the current situation in Liyue. As for the friend Keqing mentioned, anyone with a normal mind would know that the friend she was talking about was herself.

Ke Qing is truly confused now, before Su Hao arrived and before a series of events had occurred.

She is a staunch supporter of human rule in Liyue, even though 99% of the people in Liyue Harbor are fans of the Geo Archon.

For thousands of years, Liyue Harbor, under the rule of the Geo Archon, has been without a single mishap, and the decrees issued by the Archon each year have contributed to the future of Liyue Harbor.

If the Seven Stars were to take charge, Keqing was confident that the people would grow up quickly after leaving the doting parent, the Rock King Emperor.

But then another problem arises: the gods are supreme, and the seven rulers of the mortal world are the strongest fighting force of every nation.

Even in Mondstadt, a place of great freedom and rule by man, the wind god Barbatos, though nowhere to be found, is omnipresent. Any scoundrel who dares to cause trouble in Mondstadt must be wary of the wind god's presence.

The same applies to Liyue. In addition to the Geo Archon, there are also immortals, which explains the various events happening on the Liyue continent.

Ke Qing saw all this and understood that even if the era of human rule succeeded, it would only be the immortals and emperors making concessions. When problems arose, they would still step in to resolve them.

“From a generally rational perspective,” Su Hao noticed A Qing’s hesitation and slowly said, “In an era of rule by man, from my point of view…”

"It's simply impossible. Although I acknowledge that humans created Liyue Harbor with their own hands, the Emperor was merely responsible for providing guidance."

"But when danger comes, it is not humans who face it on their own, but the Emperor and the immortals who step in to resolve it. The things I have encountered these past few days... are not things that ordinary people can handle."

Su Hao fell silent at this point. Ever since the chat group started adding new members, he had been dealing with more and more things. Leaving Inazuma and coming to Liyue had only made things worse.

The things Su Hao has encountered these past few days, whether it's the Abyss Order or the Ancient Rock Lizard, are not things that the Liyue Seven Stars can easily resolve.

Not to mention the Fools who were secretly watching.

The Fools either don't cause trouble, or they create a huge scandal. So, in Su Hao's opinion, Liyue is not really capable of entering a true era of rule by man.

Putting aside other things, this was also the case in the original storyline. All the immortals and the Seven Stars knew that Morax, the Rock God, was not dead, but had simply retired.

Xiao is still dealing with the remnants of the demon gods on the Liyue continent, and the other immortals are also protecting the peace of Liyue.

As for the Seven Stars of Liyue, they are still busy with their own affairs.

Nothing much has changed except that Qixing has become busier, and Morax has changed his name to Zhongli and is now traveling across the land of Liyue.

Hearing what Su Hao said, Ke Qing fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What are your thoughts on Li Yue now?"

"To be honest, I feel that you are very similar to me. It's not that we are similar in personality, but rather that we are similar in how we view things."

"If you weren't one of Thor's familiars, I'd probably want to recruit you to work for me."

Although Keqing was speaking in a half-joking tone, if Su Hao really wasn't a member of the Thunder God's family, but just an ordinary Inazuma, then...

Therefore, Keqing is very likely to try to win over Su Hao, because he is a powerful fighter, has a similar way of handling things to herself, and is on good terms with immortals.

It would be such a waste not to bring them into your ranks.

Su Hao silently took a half step back, making his stance clear: he would keep his distance from Keqing, one of Liyue's three most overtime workers.

"It's not really an opinion." Su Hao shrugged at Keqing and continued, "As for the present, I feel that Liyue is doing very well, isn't it? The Seven Stars are working hard to create a better life for the people of Liyue."

"The immortals and the Geo Archon are also secretly protecting the people of Liyue and dealing with external threats. Given this situation, what more could you possibly want?"

"If I had to say something, Liyue is no longer an era of immortals, but an era of humans and immortals."

When Su Hao said those words, Ke Qing's pupils seemed to shrink slightly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, getting closer to Su Hao.

Ke Qing's lovely face drew close to Su Hao's, her pupils reflecting his eyes. Her eyes were filled with shock, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Could you say it again, Su Hao?"

"Could you repeat what you just said?"

Seeing Ke Qing suddenly so close, Su Hao panicked a little, and his heart beat slightly faster.

Regardless of whether Ke Qing is a beautiful girl or not, her sudden attack will definitely startle Su Hao.

But Su Hao replied quite naturally, "If I had to say something, Liyue is no longer an era of immortals, but an era of humans and immortals."

"After all, humans are no longer protected by immortals. Now humans have the power to protect themselves. Hmm... although it's not quite enough, at least they're not as weak as before."

"The immortals do not concern themselves with worldly affairs; they only care about things that harm the land of Liyue and its people."

"As for humans, as one of the Seven Stars, you should be even more aware of what humans are capable of."

At this point, Su Hao stopped talking, because Ke Qing's eyes were shining brighter and brighter.

The way she looked at him seemed to be telling Su Hao that she had just opened the door to a new world.

"I...I also have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. We'll handle the matters concerning the Abyss Order and the Doctor." Keqing hurriedly began to say goodbye.

Because Su Hao swept away her confusion at that moment. Yes, why bother about humans versus immortals? Aren't we all here to protect Liyue?

Being overly preoccupied with the relationship between humans and immortals can sow the seeds of instability.

It would be better to just tell the Emperor frankly that humans have the power to protect themselves, and ask him to rest assured that he can entrust the matter to them.

Let the immortals and emperors be the witnesses, witnessing the new era of humanity, and see how far they can go.

After Ke Qing left, Su Hao felt helpless; the two of them had come and gone in a hurry.

They were supposed to come and investigate the Abyss Cult and the Doctor, but after getting involved with True Monarch Liuyun, one of them ran away.

Now that the ritual of inviting immortals has been involved, another one has run away.

With this in mind, Su Hao returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

"So fast."

When Kuki Shinobu saw Su Hao return, she grumbled, "Was it settled so quickly? It hasn't even been a few minutes."

Yes, Su Hao only talked with Gan Yu and Ke Qing for a few minutes. They didn't talk for long before the two of them ran away, and Su Hao returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

"Has something happened?" Ella glanced behind Su Hao, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

It was understandable that D'Artagnan left without saying goodbye, but Keqing and Ganyu were old friends.

Even if they were leaving, they would have said goodbye beforehand, right? Why did they leave so quickly?

Is there anything urgent?

Hu Tao and Shen He also looked at Su Hao with some curiosity. They both knew that Gan Yu and Ke Qing were not the kind of people who would leave without saying goodbye. What happened to cause them to do this?

"Well... how should I put it?" Su Hao looked at the crowd and said, "Gan Yu heard that Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng had come to Liyue Harbor and planned to participate in tomorrow's Summoning Ceremony."

"She left in a hurry, probably because she was too happy, so she planned to go find True Lord Liuyun to borrow the wind."

"As for Keqing, I talked to her for a while about the current situation in Liyue. She seemed to have thought of something and left without saying a word."

Keli blinked and looked at Su Hao with some curiosity, asking, "Brother Su Hao, who is the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind?"

“He is an immortal.” Hu Tao answered for Su Hao. She looked at Ke Li and said with her hands on her hips, “The True Lord of Cloud-Borrowing Wind is an immortal who lives on Mount Aozang.”

“We Liyue immortals are quite rare. Gan Yu is a half-immortal. I guess she was very happy to hear that Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng had arrived and went to catch up with him.”

"As for Keqing~ Oh dear~ She's one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, a very famous and important figure. She has a lot on her hands, so it's normal for her to leave suddenly."

Hearing Hu Tao's explanation, Klee's eyes lit up. She was very curious about how the Liyue Immortals existed.

"correct."

At this moment, Hu Tao, who had regained her senses, suddenly realized something. After looking around, she asked with some confusion, "Where did our guest elder Zhong Li go?"

“I remember he was here an hour ago, discussing that concentrated resin candy with Abedo.”

"How could it disappear in the blink of an eye? That's strange!"

Hu Tao was puzzled. Although she and Ke Li were feeling down just now, she still clearly remembered that Zhong Li was in the Hall of Rebirth not long ago. How could he have disappeared all of a sudden?

P.S.: "It's my mom's birthday today, and I cooked all the dishes on this table!"

P.S.: "So I'm just taking a break and writing 4,000 words. Tomorrow I'll resume writing 10,000 words per chapter~~~"

Chapter 137 The Rock King Emperor Summons the Immortals

At this moment, Hu Tao was very puzzled. Where had Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, gone?

Weren't you here before?

How could it just disappear like that?

“Mr. Zhongli said he had an old friend visiting and left early.” Abedo stepped in to smooth things over, saying calmly, “At that time, Hall Master Hu and Keli weren’t in particularly good condition.”

"Therefore, Mr. Zhongli did not dare to disturb you. So he said something to me and then left the Hall of Rebirth."
