“I don’t know, but since the description says so, it’s very likely that’s true.” Abedo nodded slightly, examining the wooden doll, and said calmly, “If nothing unexpected happens, this thing does indeed have a soul-nourishing effect.”

"Because I just touched it slightly with my consciousness and found that my consciousness felt very comfortable."

Ella and Shinobu looked at Abedo with some surprise. Had he touched the wooden doll with his consciousness without them even realizing it?!

"But... what are the materials? That's strange."

Abedo was clearly surprised; the material that made him feel so comfortable was obviously of a high grade.

And it's made of wood... Where did you find wood that could have a soul-nourishing effect and make the remnant soul of a demon god live comfortably inside?

Even Abedo, with his vast knowledge, couldn't help but fall into deep thought at this moment. He was still too young and there were some things he didn't quite understand.

"If only Mr. Zhongli were here." Abedo sighed, wishing Zhongli were here.

The other party had extensive knowledge and could identify various rare materials at a glance. Moreover, he quickly found that the main ingredient of the concentrated resin was [Time].

If he were there, and the two of them started researching this specially made empty shell doll, they would probably have results very quickly.

"Mr. Zhongli is busy," Jiuqi Ren said with a slight grumble. "His old friend has arrived in Liyue Harbor and is currently very busy. It's not really possible for him to come over now... um?"

Just as Jiuqi Ren was speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhong Li appeared.

Zhongli walked in calmly, looked at the bewildered crowd, and slowly said, "I apologize for visiting so late at night."

"No, that's not true." Su Hao was also a little surprised to see Zhong Li arrive, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "But Mr. Zhong Li, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be with your old friend?"

In the chat group, Zhongli had already said that he wouldn't have time during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, as he needed to spend time with his old friends (immortals).

How did they get here so quickly? I can understand it, but isn't that speed a bit too fast?

It should be noted that less than two minutes had passed since the specially made empty shell doll was signed out by Gui Zhong.

You arrived in such a short time? Did the immortals have time to explain?

"After finishing my late-night snack, I planned to go back to the Rebirth Hall to see if there was any business. I didn't expect to get this item when I checked in at the final resting place. Out of curiosity, I went to visit."

Zhongli was spouting nonsense with a straight face; naturally, he had no intention of returning to the Hall of Rebirth to see if there was any business.

One minute he was communicating with the immortals, the next he saw that Guizhong had signed in and got this item. He hurriedly said that he had something to do and then flew to the Hall of Rebirth. He then transformed into Zhongli and pushed open the door to enter.

"What a coincidence," Hishito remarked, but she didn't think much of it.

After all, it's perfectly normal for Zhongli, as the master, to be curious about a puppet that can revive the remnant soul of a demon god, except that the other party arrived a little too quickly.

P.S.: "I woke up to find that you guys are really something else! You spent several hours writing a chapter for me!!!! Bring on the knives!"

Chapter 146 Target: Wind God! The Immortal Summoning Ceremony Arrives!

Zhongli arrived. He came very quickly; Abedo had been talking about him for a second, and the next second he was there.

Everyone was quite surprised, yet it also felt perfectly normal, as if Mr. Zhongli was supposed to be like this.

And so, Zhongli entered quite naturally. He looked at the specially made empty-shell doll in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although Zhongli didn't know whether this thing could truly revive Guizhong and Leidian, what Zhongli did know was...

This thing is not simple. Just like concentrated resin, this thing is not simple at all. Its specifications are probably no less than those of concentrated resin.

“Mr. Zhongli.” Abedo was quite happy to see Zhongli arrive, because with the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli there, the two of them working together would probably be able to crack the specially made empty shell doll soon.

Putting aside everything else, Zhongli, being from Morax, certainly has a broader perspective than I do.

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded slightly. He circled the specially made empty shell doll, examined it carefully for a moment, and said calmly, "I can sense that this thing is very unusual."

"If we want to replicate it, the difficulty would be extremely high."

Hisaki Shinobu and Ella nodded calmly. In fact, even without Zhongli saying it, they both knew very well that this thing was extremely difficult to replicate.

Putting aside everything else, the things that appear in the chat group check-in section are basically impossible to replicate.

The easiest things to imitate are actually forging and brewing recipes; you just need to copy them.

Everything else is extremely difficult to replicate, even the maid outfit and broken pocket watch that Ella signed in.

While it's possible to forge similar items, replicating an exact copy is extremely difficult.

“However, it’s impossible not to copy it.” Hisuki Shinobu was also somewhat tempted at this moment, because of Yae no Miko’s words that made Inazuma go back five hundred years.

I believe that either Inatsume would be quite tempted.

Having spent so much time in the chat group, Hisagi Shinobu knew just how glorious Inazuma had been back then, or rather, five hundred years ago.

At that time, monsters were not just legends, and the gods were quite approachable. The whole of Inazuma was thriving, and people were pursuing their dreams.

However, the deity who led Inazuma at that time was not the Raiden of today, but Raiden Shin.

During this time, Shinobu Hisaki could also sense that Raiden was a god with extremely high affinity, if he were still in charge of Inazuma.

If that were the case, Inazuma would probably not be in his current state, beset by internal and external troubles, with his superiors enjoying a life of luxury while his subordinates tighten their belts, take up arms at home, and become outlaws.

If lightning were to truly rule, it would very likely be like the current Liyue, where the gap between people and gods is not so great.

The emergence of the Inazuma... um... resistance army is roughly a confrontation between the consciousness of the people and the consciousness of the gods.

Everyone was still hoping that the general would change his mind, lift the hunting order and the isolation order, and arrest the corrupt officials.

Zhongli and Abedo nodded slightly. Since Guizhong was going to be saved, then Leidian was also going to be saved.

After all, lightning was an old friend to Zhongli, as one of the original seven rulers of the mortal world.

Zhongli's attitude towards her was to save her if possible. Of course, there was definitely hope of saving her, since she now had a specially made empty shell doll.

In any case, there is definitely hope of being rescued. As for Raiden, it depends on whether Zhongli and Abedo can replicate something similar.

Otherwise, it depends on whether Raiden or other players are capable enough to obtain similar items from the daily check-in.

"We can only try our best, and... whether this will allow the Dust Demon to successfully move into this specially made empty shell puppet is still a question."

Abedo looked at the specially made empty shell doll with a hint of worry in his eyes, because the reason was simple: although this thing could theoretically nourish a soul.

But now that it's in its final state, is it really a good time to go inside?

Although this thing is said to have the effect of nourishing the soul, Gui is not currently suffering from a weak or missing soul, but rather... is a weak soul that carries consciousness.

In short, most of Gui Zhong's soul may have disappeared into the world, but a few soul consciousnesses that inherited all of Gui Zhong's memories have been preserved.

She may indeed have a tiny bit of a soul within her, but that faint soul has probably only just appeared in this world.

Perhaps it will die completely before it leaves the lock of the mortal world and enters the specially made empty shell doll.

"Hmm." Zhongli nodded slightly, but then said, "Perhaps we can inquire about Guizhong's current situation."

"If she's in good condition now and can even return to the Lock of the Mortal World at any time, maybe we can let her try entering the specially made empty shell doll and, if she finds that she hasn't recovered, immediately return to the Lock of the Mortal World."

To be honest, Zhongli himself didn't know much about the structure of the Worldly Lock, since he didn't know what its internal structure was like.

Therefore, only Gui Zhong himself can speak on this matter.

"Gui Zhong, what an intimate title." Hisaki Shinobu muttered under her breath, because she still held a sense of awe towards the Demon God.

After all, the Demon God is an existence on the same level as the General. Of course, the General here refers to Lei Yingdian and Lei Dianzhen, not the puppet general.

Therefore, Hisagi Shinobu did not dare to be too presumptuous in referring to Guizhong as "Guizhong".

“Hmm.” Zhongli nodded slightly and looked at Jiuqi Ren to explain, “After all, we have to address her by her name. Calling her the God of Dust would be too unfamiliar, and calling her Lord Guizhong would also be a bit strange.”

"So it's better to just call her by her name, and she doesn't seem to care much about it."

Hearing Zhongli say this, Ella nodded slightly, feeling that Zhongli was right, because she also didn't want to address others as "sir" all the time.

In addition, Gui Zhong herself doesn't seem to care, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"…………"

Abedo dared not speak. If Zhongli Zhen addressed Gui Zhong as "Master," things would fall apart. The image of the Rock King Emperor addressing the Dust Demon God as "Master" was simply unimaginable.

Even in legends, the Demon God of Dust was ultimately an ally of the Rock King Emperor, not a subordinate.

Fortunately, Zhongli didn't care about this matter. However, this shows that Jiuqi Ren and Ella seem to really not know Zhongli's true identity.

As for the group owner... well, the group owner was also carefully observing the specially made empty shell doll, and obviously didn't pay attention to the previous topic.

Abedo's mind was racing with thoughts. He then looked at the chat group, which was, as always, in an uproar, because this thing was just too important.

Even the Dragon King Ruotu was unsettled and urged Guizhong to quickly unlock the mortal lock and go inside this specially made empty shell doll.

[Gui Zhong: "Don't rush, Ruo Tuo! Although I know you're in a hurry, please don't rush!!!"]

[Nagarjuna: "How could I not be anxious? This thing can't be stored, right? Even the group owner can't preserve it!! What if it gets destroyed?"]

[Abedo: "No, this thing looks very sturdy; ordinary attacks shouldn't be able to harm it."]

[Yae no Miko: "You're not going to attack this specially made empty shell doll, are you?"]

[Yae no Miko: "No!!! This specially made empty shell doll is our Inazuma's hope!!! I'll cross the sea right away!!! Wait for me!!!!"]

[Raiden Shin: "This, Divine Child, aren't you getting a little too excited? The specially made empty shell puppet looks pretty good, but we don't know yet if we can use it."]

[Gui Zhong: "Yes, don't have too high hopes. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just assume this thing can't revive us. If you still want to try, I can be the guinea pig."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "The risk is too great... If it fails, wouldn't that mean the legendary 'leaving the group' will happen?"]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Yes... right now, both Lord Shin and Lord Kizumi are remnant souls. If something happens to them, wouldn't it really mean..."]

[King Ruoduo: "This...sigh, it's a pity Morax isn't here right now. If only he were, or at least I could call those guys over."]

[Zhong Li: "Actually, I just took a look with Abedo, and we found that this specially made empty shell doll is indeed very effective."]

[Raiden Zhen: "Huh? Zhongli, didn't you go to be with your friends? What are you doing at Su Hao's house?"]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Yes, Mr. Zhongli, why are you back? Have you finished your business? But didn't you say it wouldn't be finished until the Immortal Invocation Ceremony?"]

Zhongli: "Well, things are somewhat settled. My friends are resting now. When I returned to the Hall of Rebirth, I saw a message in the group chat and, out of curiosity, came to check out the specially made empty shell doll."

[Gui Zhong: "Hmm~ What a coincidence~~ But what are your thoughts, Mr. Zhongli?"]

[Aberdo: "…………"]

Zhongli: "I can't really put my opinion into it. I just wanted to ask Guizhong, what is your current state now that you've broken free from the shackles of the mortal world?"

[King Ruo Tuo: "Oh!!! Right!!! Zhongli is right. What will happen after you leave the shackles of the mortal world, Gui Zhong?"]

[Raiden Shin: "I'll probably be like me, staying in this world for a short time before disappearing."]
