Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The daughter of the Guiyan Pavilion manager boldly sacrificed her own interests to obtain the right to sell the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard scales, bringing Guiyan Pavilion unimaginable fame and other benefits.

Some were overjoyed while others were saddened; those companies named by Morax were ecstatic.

The few families that weren't mentioned sighed, feeling they hadn't done enough to catch the eye of Prince Yan.

Several business owners who were specifically criticized by Morax turned pale, knowing that their business was about to plummet.

Some of those in power were pondering the policies mentioned by Prince Yan, and then figuring out how to better promote these policies.

Finally, Morax fell silent, signifying the imminent end of the invocation ceremony.

Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, because none of the immortals, including Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, spoke. Clearly, they had only come to make an appearance and deter any villains in the shadows.

As long as the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng remains silent, everything will be fine. The Emperor's speech is over, and next, the Seven Stars will announce the end of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

"Emperor."

At this moment, Ke Qing spoke up. She raised her head and looked at the golden dragon in front of her. She said in a very serious tone, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

The immortals looked at Ke Qing, the Jade Balance Star, with some curiosity, wondering what she wanted to say on the eve of the end of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Morax looked at Keqing, nodded slightly with his head, and said in a majestic voice, "Yes."

Hearing these words, Ke Qing took a deep breath. She could clearly feel the pressure on her body becoming heavier.

Many people were looking at her with curiosity, but Keqing knew exactly what she was going to do, and she firmly believed that only in this way would Liyue's future be full of hope.

Keqing looked at Morax and said in a very serious tone, "Your Majesty, I implore you and all the immortals to entrust the responsibilities you bear to us, the Seven Stars of Liyue."

These words caused many Liyue people to change their expressions drastically, and some who were unaware of the truth also looked at Keqing with great shock.

I don't quite understand what this Jade Balance Star is talking about.

Responsibility? The responsibility that the Emperor and the immortals bear?

This statement can be either significant or minor; it could be as minor as telling the Emperor and the immortals to rest a little longer and letting the Seven Stars of Liyue handle the affairs.

So big... that the Liyue Septate wants to seize power? To seize the power of the gods? ??

"presumptuous!"

Before Morax could speak, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng spoke up. She looked directly at Keqing and said in a very serious tone, "Do you Seven Stars want to shoulder the responsibilities of the Emperor?"

"Yuheng Star, do you know what you're really saying!"

While it seemed that Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was the first to attack, she was actually trying to exonerate Keqing, subtly telling the other immortals that Yuheng Star knew nothing and that she was just making things up.

“I understand perfectly.” Ke Qing knew that Liu Yun was acting out of kindness, but she still raised her head and looked at Morax seriously, saying, “It’s because the Emperor and the immortals have protected us so well.”

"No matter what happens, the Emperor and the immortals will always protect us humans from the wind and rain."

"Although most people think this is a matter of course, and that this is the fate of humankind."

"But I don't think we humans should know how to be grateful. The Emperor and the immortals have protected us for too long. This protection has made many people feel lazy."

"I feel that no matter what, as long as the Emperor and the immortals are in Liyue, things will not be chaotic. They can greedily enjoy this peace and tranquility, but they don't know how much the Emperor and the immortals have sacrificed."

Keqing's words caused many Liyue citizens to show expressions of shame, because that was indeed what they thought.

With Lord Rock and all the immortals around, why should these mortals care about so much? They just need to enjoy themselves peacefully and earn Mora.

The immortals looked at Ke Qing with some surprise, not expecting that this contemporary Jade Balance Star could say such a thing.

This really left them speechless, because in the eyes of the Celestials, the people of Liyue are all their children.

Having made a pact with the Emperor, they watched Liyue Harbor grow from nothing. In their quest for victory in the Demon God War, they too suffered severe injuries and nearly died.

Even now, the immortals are secretly protecting Liyue. Whenever a disaster occurs there that humans cannot solve, the immortals will appear.

The immortals are used to doing this, and the people of Liyue also enjoy this treatment.

But today, some people oppose this situation, feeling that all of this is unfair to the immortals.

Keqing's ability to say these words in public clearly represents the will of the entire Seven Stars.

“Hmm.” Morax nodded slightly, signaling Keqing to continue.

Seeing the Emperor nod, Ke Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She continued earnestly, "Therefore, I hope that the Emperor and the immortals will share their responsibilities with us, the Seven Stars of Liyue, so that we can shoulder some of the burdens."

"For example, assisting the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons in cleaning up the remnants of demons, fighting against monsters such as the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, and dealing with threats from the abyss, etc..."

"And Your Majesty, you have protected Liyue for far too long. I sincerely hope that you can rest well and not come to Liyue Harbor every year, causing us worry and trouble."

"The era of immortals has passed. What Liyue will face next is an era in which humans and immortals coexist."

After saying these words, Keqing faced the five immortals and the Rock King Emperor directly, without any confusion in her eyes.

Yes, the era of immortals has passed, and the era of humans and immortals will descend upon the land of Liyue, unfolding a brand new chapter.

However, whether this chapter can be turned over depends entirely on whether the Emperor agrees.

"Truly arrogant."

Looking at Ke Qing, the True Lord of the Moon-Shaping Sun said with a hint of displeasure in his majestic voice, "Is the era of immortals over? Is the era of coexistence between humans and immortals coming next?"

"Yuheng Star, have you misunderstood something? It's not that we look down on you, but rather that the being we are facing is not something you can deal with."

"You have already experienced the terror of the remnants of the demon gods that the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons has to face."

Keqing remained silent. Yes, the remnants of the demon god were not so easy to deal with.

Even the alchemists shook their heads, saying that apart from immortals, they could only temporarily seal the remnants of the demon god, and had no way to solve the problem at its root.

“Arrogance.” True Lord Lishui Dieshan also looked at Keqing. He shook his head slightly and said with some disappointment, “The responsibilities we immortals bear are difficult for you to bear, and the heavy responsibilities the Emperor bears are even more impossible for you to shoulder.”

"You know nothing, yet you try to obstruct our responsibility to the Emperor. You are far too arrogant, Jade Balance Star."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun remained silent, looking at Ke Qing with a hint of disappointment.

"Don't be so harsh," Grandma Ping said, trying to smooth things over and suggesting that people shouldn't be so strict with Ke Qing.

She is a rare reformist in Liyue. Although her ideas are a bit ahead of their time, at least she is on the right track.

Xiao looked at Ke Qing and said calmly, "No need. This is a contract signed between us Yakshas and the Emperor."

"No matter what happens, I will eliminate the evil spirits and remnants of the demons and will not let them endanger Liyue."

The attitudes of the five immortals were quite clear. Apart from Granny Ping, who seemed to be on Ke Qing's side, the other four immortals rejected Ke Qing's proposal.

The reason is simple: the beings that immortals need to deal with are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Unless one's strength reaches the level of beings like Yelan, Keqing, or Kuki Shinobu, they can only offer some assistance to the Sage.

Either strive to grow into someone like Shen He or Su Hao, someone who can threaten immortals; otherwise, no matter how many ordinary people there are, they will only be wasting their lives.

The immortals, who understood this principle well, resolutely rejected Keqing's suggestion, feeling that she was too arrogant and presumptuous.

To take on responsibility without understanding anything, or even just seeing the tip of the iceberg, is incredibly arrogant and presumptuous.

Morax didn't speak. He just looked at Keqing calmly, as if to say, "Is that all you have to say?"

"…………"

Upon hearing the immortals' words, Keqing quietly clenched her fists, a strange flame of defiance burning within her.

Why? Why do the immortals think they're incapable, even knowing that human strength has its limits?

But Su Hao is human, and Shen He is also human. Didn't they both gradually get to where they are now?

The immortals deeply love humans, and the Emperor is no exception. Keqing understands this very well, but she also knows that... Liyue cannot continue like this.

In this way, Liyue has no future to speak of, no breakthroughs, and simply obeys the Emperor's orders, relying on the Emperor and the immortals for protection, without any growth whatsoever.

Keqing looked at the immortals and the Emperor, took a deep breath, her gaze becoming extremely firm, and said, "The Emperor and the immortals have protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years?!"

Finally, Keqing spoke the words that had been buried deep in her heart for so long.

This is a question she has raised; she doesn't believe that the future Emperor and the immortals will always protect Liyue Harbor, as they will eventually pass away.

Just like the gods of other civilized nations.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. If what they said before could be considered a minor or major issue, then it was a major one.

Now, these words are utterly treasonous. Keqing of Yuheng Star is questioning whether the immortals and the Emperor can continue to protect Liyue in the future.

The immortals stared at Ke Qing, seemingly displeased with what she had said.

Not far away, Gan Yu's expression also changed. Although she knew Ke Qing's thoughts, she did not expect that the other party would bring this matter up in the open during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

"This has blown up."

As the Uncle of Tian Shu Star, he sighed, unsure of what would happen next.

"What courage!"

Hisaki Shinobu looked at Keqing with some admiration; the other party's courage was truly extraordinary.

In Inazuma, Shinobu Hisaki would definitely understand Keqing's ideals very well, because in the high-pressure environment of Inazuma, there were many people who opposed the gods.

But things are different in Liyue. People here live very happily and have plenty of food and clothing, so they don't have to worry about the future at all.

After all, the Geo Archon is a benevolent god, and Liyue is protected by many immortals, making it a place to enjoy life no matter how you look at it.

But Keqing tore through this protective layer, intending to let the people of Liyue experience what the Emperor and the immortals had gone through.

Simply put, it's about putting things out in the open and letting everyone see what sacrifices the Emperor and the immortals made for Liyue.

"Ah."

Shen He nodded slightly, because she could also see that although the immortals were silent, they had, in a sense, agreed with what Ke Qing had said.

They will pass away sooner or later; wear and tear is inevitable. Even immortals and emperors, as powerful as they are, may pass away in the future due to wear and tear and other unstoppable factors.

Otherwise, the immortals wouldn't have remained silent, but would have decisively denied what Keqing had said.

The immortals, who have lived for thousands of years, naturally understand these principles very well, so they are waiting, waiting for the Emperor to speak.

"So cool!" Klee looked at Keqing with shining eyes, thinking how cool he was to say such a thing.

Although Klee is young, she is very smart. Although she doesn't know what happened, she can understand what Keqing said and the reactions of the people around her.

Klee thought this older sister was really cool!!!

Aberdo remained silent, quietly taking out his easel and preparing to begin painting.

This is truly a classic story: in a land pampered by the gods, a person emerges who rebels against and questions the gods.

"Hahahahaha."
