Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"I'm confident I can meet Barbatos, but I'm not sure if I can get him to help us obtain the power of [Time]."

Zhongli shook his head slightly. Even he could only guarantee to see Barbatos, but that didn't mean he would let Barbatos risk obtaining the power of [Time].

"This……"

At this moment, Aberdo's expression was also somewhat subtle, but he didn't know what to say.

Because concentrated resin is indeed quite versatile now, and being associated with "time" makes it destined to be extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that creating him required the intervention of two, no, three gods.

Although Raiden is currently in a remnant soul state, she is still one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World, and she is trying her best to help them obtain the power of [Time].

Perhaps because he saw a glimmer of hope, Raiden also expressed that if Zhongli could obtain the Dream Heart from General Raiden.

And if you take her to a special space, then Raiden will really hand over something containing the power of [Time].

“Let’s talk about this when we get to Mondstadt.” Zhongli didn’t intend to continue the topic. He looked at Abedo calmly and said, “After the Summoning Ceremony, we’ll go to Mondstadt together to find Barbatos.”

"We'll examine the specially made hollow dolls together on the way. We were too hasty tonight and can't tell what material they're made of."

"Tomorrow is the ritual to invite the immortals. Whether it's me or you, you should all enjoy the process."

With that, Zhongli turned and left.

Abedo watched Zhongli's retreating figure and sighed. He felt that this Rock King Emperor was having a hard time, as he couldn't reveal his identity to the people in the group.

On the other hand, they were going to find the wind god Barbatos in order to return to the Dragon King of the North.

And... how will he reveal his identity in the future if he keeps it hidden like this?

The Dragon King Ruoduo in the group is extremely anxious. You can tell how anxious he is from how much he wants to break free of the seal.

If it weren't for Zhongli, Leidianzhen, Guizhong, and others reassuring Ruotu, he probably would have started to forcefully break free of the seal to attract Morax over.

Then, Morax was sent to find Su Hao and have Su Hao tell him about Gui Zhong and the specially made empty shell doll.

After all, this was news of his old friend's resurrection, so Naga Rinpoche was naturally very anxious, something anyone could see.

Although Guizhong herself kept Ruoduo Dragon King calm, she herself had taken a detached view of life and death.

"But... what exactly is his plan?" Abedo still couldn't figure out what Zhongli, or rather Morax, intended to do.

This made him want to keep it a secret from the whole group. Would letting the others know about this ruin his plans?

Or was he simply trying to keep the plan a secret from everyone before it began?

Abedo pondered for a moment, but soon stopped thinking about it, since the Rock King Emperor must have his own reasons for doing so.

Therefore, Aberdo didn't think much about it. Instead of wasting time thinking about this, he should think about how to deal with Klee and Kurumi tomorrow.

You know, Klee is clinging to Kurumi every day now, and Kurumi likes the little one too.

The two have very similar personalities, so hopefully they won't cause any trouble during the invocation ceremony tomorrow.

And so, Abedo returned to Su Hao's residence, where he prepared to rest.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many. Ye Lan is working outside all night, striving to restore the ruins.

Tartaglia then summoned all the Fatui members back and told them that the holiday was canceled, the Doctor was dead, and the plans in Liyue would continue.

Under the guidance of the Rock King Emperor, the immortals also learned what they were to do tomorrow—no, it should be said today—at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Tonight, the Seven Stars also held a meeting. Ke Qing had a brand new idea and told her colleagues what she wanted to say to the Emperor during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony.

At this moment, Gan Yu, the Seven Star Secretary, was carrying a bow, searching for the immortals in Liyue Harbor.

Su Hao and the others got a good night's sleep.

Soon, the much-anticipated ceremony to invite the immortals began.

In the morning, before Su Hao and the others were fully awake, there was a knock on the door.

"Get up! Get up! The sun's already high in the sky!!!! Aren't you all awake yet?! Today is the Summoning of the Immortals Ceremony!!! Even though it only happens once a year!"

"But seeing the Rock King every year is quite a rare thing, so you all better get up quickly and stop sleeping!!!"

Hu Tao's lively voice rang out, forcibly waking Su Hao.

Su Hao was clearly sleep-deprived; they yawned and rubbed their eyes.

As for why only Su Hao was awakened, it's because Keli, Abedo, Kuki Shinobu, Shinhaku, and Ella had already awakened.

Su Hao probably exhausted himself last night. Although he recovered physically, he was still quite weak mentally.

Therefore, without Hu Tao's help, Su Hao might have slept for a whole day.

When Su Hao came downstairs, he found Hu Tao sitting in a chair without any hesitation, eating breakfast. After seeing Su Hao come down, she quickly said, "Come on, come on! Your maid's cooking is really good."

"Your skills are probably about the same as Xiangling's. I really envy you for having such a maid to serve you."

The others were having breakfast at the moment. They had originally planned to wake Su Hao up, but Ella, who was blocking them from the door, stopped them.

They indicated that if the young master could sleep a little longer, then they would let him sleep a little longer.

Then Hu Tao yelled from outside, waking Su Hao from his sleep, which was rather frustrating.

"Yeah, I know." Su Hao yawned, sat between Shen He and Ella, and stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

After waking up, he had already washed up and was not surprised by Hu Tao's arrival.

Because when they parted ways last night, the other person said that they would come to see them this morning and also come over for a free meal.

Su Hao agreed, so Hu Tao sat down to eat breakfast.

If Hu Tao had come uninvited, Ella would probably have kicked her out just for waking Su Hao.

"Mmm, this is delicious." Hu Tao complained while eating, "However, Liyue Harbor is still the same as usual this year, not a single person has died, which is really disappointing."

"Last night I walked through every street and alley of Liyue Harbor and found that those elderly people who should have reached the end of their lives were just like the group of people in previous years, and were now holding on to their last breath."

"Sigh~ It's really hard to know what to say. Given their physical condition, it's a miracle they're still alive."

Hu Tao sighed, marveling at the tenacity of human life while also feeling helpless about the natural cycle of life and death.

The fact that they're forcibly preventing themselves from dying probably brings them no benefit other than causing them more pain. Just to see the Rock King Emperor one last time before they die, it's really not worth it.

After all, who says you can't see the Rock King Emperor after you die?

In ghost form, can't you still watch the ritual of summoning immortals?

“Someone has died,” Shen He said at this moment.

Because she clearly remembered that in the ruins of Guiliyuan, a member of the Fools was sent flying by her, and was later affected by the aftershocks of Su Hao's Heavenly Star.

If nothing unexpected happens, that member of the Fools should be dead, and the slice of the doctor also died there. Therefore, it's impossible that no one died yesterday.

"Um?!"

Hu Tao looked at Shen He with shining eyes and said, "There?! There's work to do?! Good heavens! How come I didn't know someone died?! Could it be outside Liyue Harbor?"

"Hmm." Shen He nodded honestly, then pointed to Su Hao, who was drinking porridge beside him, and said calmly, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should have been crushed to death by the rocks that Su Hao created."

"The other one was forced to commit suicide. The specific location is in Guili Plain. The site has been sealed off by the Thousand Rock Army. If you want to get in, it will probably be difficult. Moreover, he is a member of the Fools of Winter."

As for

Hearing this, Hu Tao was clearly excited, and she quickly said, "Okay! Thank you!! I'll go to Guili Plain right now!!!"

"Fools? The Northern Bank has a contract with the Hall of Rebirth. Whenever someone dies there, I have to go and collect the body and give it a grand funeral!"

"Wait...it seems they're sending the bodies back to the Northern Bank so their souls can return home?"

"Forget it~ I don't want to think about it anymore~~~"

Hu Tao didn't want to think about anything else at that moment. An order had come in, and without saying a word, she took a bite of a bun and ran outside.

She said as she ran, "I'll be going now!! I'll come find you guys once I've finished what I did here!!!"

Watching Hu Tao leave so hastily, everyone's expressions became somewhat subtle.

Klee belatedly reached out her hand, looking at Kurumi's retreating figure with great reluctance, and shouted loudly, "Kurumi-neechan!!!!"

However, by the time Klee said those words, Kurumi had already left.

"Just now... how did Walnut run out?"

At this moment, a rather gentle voice rang out, her voice sounding somewhat puzzled.

Everyone turned their attention to Gan Yu, who had arrived yesterday, and saw her cautiously walking in. She had changed her clothes and was clearly dressed up.

Gan Yu's face was full of fatigue, which startled Su Hao. What had happened?

It's amazing that Gan Yu, a workaholic who treats overtime as a hobby, could show such a tired expression.

"She's here to help, but you're like this... are you alright???" Su Hao looked at Gan Yu's appearance, eating a steamed bun as he asked疑惑地问道, "Did something happen?"

At this moment, Su Hao was both puzzled and curious. What could have made Gan Yu's face so tired?

It couldn't possibly be the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing, could it?

But wouldn't it have been enough for Gan Yu to simply talk to Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and ask her not to reveal her childhood stories during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?

"Ah, thank you for your concern." Gan Yu looked at Su Hao with a gentle smile, indicating that she was alright.

Then Gan Yu looked at Shen He with a somewhat subtle expression and said, "Shen He, do you know if you can summon True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng? I have something to tell her."

"Is it something urgent?" Shen He looked at Gan Yu's tired appearance and said seriously, "If so, I can call my master over, but this talisman is very difficult to make."

"Furthermore, my master once said that unless it is something extremely, extremely, extremely important, one should not destroy this talisman."

Talismans that can directly communicate with immortals are quite difficult to create, so even Gan Yu and Shen He had to ask about them.

"This..." Gan Yu's expression was complicated. This matter was important to her, but it was probably an overreaction to Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.

"Didn't you find the True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind?" Su Hao looked at Gan Yu with some curiosity.

This shouldn't be the case. As a half-immortal beast, shouldn't the other party have a way to find the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng?

"I searched all night but couldn't find True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng or True Monarch Gechenlangshi."

Gan Yu chose to tell the truth. She sighed and said wearily, "And the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is about to begin. As the Seven Star Secretary, I'm busy again and don't have time to go see True Lord Liu Yun Borrowing Wind."

"Today, it is Miss Keqing of Yuheng Star who asked me to invite you to attend the Ceremony of Inviting Immortals, and the best seats have been prepared for you."
