Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

What will happen next?

Xiangling thought to herself, while Guoba seemed to have "crashed" after eating the concentrated resin, remaining motionless in place.

Flames rose from Guoba's body, and the flames were so warm that you couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

"........."

A glint flashed in Zhongli's eyes; he seemed to be anticipating something.

"Could it be..." Yae no Miko looked at the flames on Guoba's body, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes, because this was the power of a demon god!

The demon of the stove—Marcus, or rather, the demonic power of the crispy rice—has returned.

Su Hao also sensed this, because apart from Zhongli and Yae no Kami, probably no one present understood the power of the Demon God better than him.

Su Hao now possesses the authority of two gods within him, and he fights alongside or alongside Hei Aila.

The other party also generously used the remaining power of the demon god right in front of him.

The flames on Guoba's body right now also originate from the power of the demon god. These flames may seem gentle, but from the enemy's perspective, they are probably not so gentle.

"Lulu~"

However, the flames on Guoba's body soon disappeared. He moved closer to Zhongli and rubbed against the other's thigh to show his affection.

This caused a hint of disappointment to flash in the eyes of Su Hao, Zhong Li, Jiu Qiren, Yae Shinko, and Ke Qing.

It failed. At this moment, after consuming the concentrated resin, Guoba regained some of his demonic powers, but only a little.

However, the other party did not seem to have recovered their mental state.

PS: "8,000 words today, I'll try harder tomorrow. Ah, I accompanied my girlfriend on her second trip to see Suzuya. I feel like I've been so busy lately, it's so frustrating."

It failed. Although the power of the demon god appeared on Guoba, it did not last long.

This left everyone somewhat disappointed, but it was also understandable, because back then, the Demon of the Hearth—Marcus.

For the sake of Liyue, he poured all his power into the earth to quell all kinds of disasters.

It's already extremely rare that Guoba is still alive and retains some intelligence.

Moreover, concentrated resin can restore the power of the soul and resist wear and tear.

But her initial effect was only to restore physical strength and sweep away fatigue.

"Lulu~"

Guoba didn't understand why everyone was staring at him, and continued to laugh carefree.

She came up to Zhongli and rubbed against him, as if to say, "What are you doing?"

"Alright." Zhongli looked at Guoba like this and smiled for some reason. He patted his old friend's head.

This is not bad. The fact that the concentrated resin can bring Ruoduo and Guizhong back to life is already quite remarkable.

If something strange happens during the chat group check-ins in the future, maybe it will help him recover.

Furthermore, this concentrated resin, which only had 80% of its effect, also restored some of the power of the Guoba Demon God, giving him some ability to protect himself.

As for regaining rationality, that can be done slowly; there's no need to rush.

"Crispy rice crust?" Xiangling held the vegetables in both hands, and she could also sense that the crispy rice crust seemed a little different.

Xiangling didn't think too much about it. Instead, she put the dish on the table, gave the rice crust a good rub, and said, "How could you be so careless? You almost knocked over the dish that Ke Qing, ah, Master Ke, likes the most."

Because of the ritual of inviting immortals, Ke Qing of Yuheng Star truly became famous.

Some say she defied the Geo Archon and the Asgardians, causing them to decide to abandon Liyue Harbor.

Some say that Keqing, the Jade Balance Star, is exceptionally talented, understanding the hardships of the Geo Archon and the Celestials, and taking the initiative to assume their responsibilities, which is a blessing for Liyue.

Regardless, Keqing has truly become famous in Liyue Harbor, even though the Liyue Seven Stars were already second only to the Geo Archon and the Asgardians in terms of fame in Liyue Harbor.

But now that Keqing has been thrust into the spotlight, Xiangling, as Keqing's friend, naturally won't reveal her identity.

As for the title "Master Carver," no one else would think much of it.

"Lou!"

Guoba belatedly realized that the food on top of it had disappeared. Its eyes widened and it quickly reached out to touch its head, only to find that the food on top was gone.

"Lululu!!!"

Guoba looked around and then realized that the golden shrimp balls were gone, which made him quite anxious.

Then he suddenly noticed a disheveled plate of golden shrimp balls on a table not far away, and realized that someone had stepped in to help him deal with the situation.

“Lululu~” At this moment, Guoba’s mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"No, it's nothing." Ke Qing's face was slightly red. What did he mean by her golden shrimp balls? This was clearly the dish Su Hao ordered.

Well, it's true that she likes to eat shrimp balls.

Yae no Miko smiled faintly and didn't say much. She glanced at Guoba and Zhongli a few more times.

Clearly, in her view, Zhongli was no ordinary Liyue person, after all, Guoba's identity was not simple.

The fact that he can get close to Zhongli now means that Zhongli must have a secret.

Of course, Yae no Kamiko wouldn't even think about cracking Zhongli's secrets; he was clearly not simple, and they were even in the same group.

She wouldn't do anything to offend anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.

So what if she knows? What benefit will it bring her? It's clearly unlikely.

And so, as the dishes were served, everyone began to eat while chatting.

Keqing briefly explained what happened in Liyue after Su Hao and the others went to Mondstadt.

Just as planned, the Abyss Order, for some unknown reason, hijacked the forced evolution machine that had arrived in winter and began to evolve a large number of Rock Lizards.

The Abyss Order clearly wanted the Rock Dragon Lizard to evolve into the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, but unfortunately, the evolved Rock Dragon Lizards were all unfinished products, although their strength was indeed enhanced.

But these unfinished rock dragons also lost their minds, turning into beasts that only knew how to kill and destroy.

That's normal, though, as there's only been one ancient rock dragon lizard in thousands of years.

For a rock dragon to evolve into an ancient rock dragon, it must take a long time and some opportunities.

Therefore, the Abyss Order set its sights on the unripe jade given to it by Su Hao by the Seven Stars of Liyue.

And that was it. The Abyss Order offended the Fatui and the Liyue Seven Stars. Under Keqing's command and with Tartaglia's help,

The Abyss Order suffered a crushing defeat, and the machines were seized back by Winter's forces.

The Abyss Order's plan failed, and on the Liyue side, the Thousand Rock Army, the Liyue Seven Stars, and the Exorcists began to carry out the sealing plan.

In less than half a month, the seals that had been maliciously broken and the remnants of the demon god on the land of Liyue were almost completely cleared away.

Ke Qingming said this on the surface, then she sighed and shook her head, saying, "However, after this incident, I have gained some insights."

"What insights did you gain?" Jiuqi asked, taking a bite of the golden shrimp ball without making a sound.

This made Ke Qing raise an eyebrow slightly, and then she slowly said, "That means there are limits to humanity."

"?"

Su Hao tilted his head and looked at Ke Qing; his DNA clearly stirred.

Yae no Miko and Zhongli also watched Keqing with great interest.

Because everyone in the same group knows each other's personalities, regardless of Keqing's personality, they all understand each other's personalities through chatting in the group.

Especially Keqing, when she first joined the group, she was full of ambition, planning to change Liyue Harbor.

The era of humans and immortals has truly arrived.

And then nothing happened. Recently, Keqing has been posting much less in the chat group. Even when she does post, it's just to lament how difficult things are.

"Well, I thought people could do a lot of things, but I was too naive." Ke Qing didn't hide her feelings as she looked at the curious gazes of the crowd.

This matter had been weighing on her mind for far too long, but she had very few people around her to confide in.

Within the group were two senior figures from Liyue, the Dragon King Ruotu and the Demon God of Dust Guizhong, so she dared not speak casually.

In addition, she has been very busy lately and has no time to talk to anyone about this matter.

Now, there's an offline gathering in the group, with Su Hao, Jiuqi Ren, Zhong Li, and Yae Shenzi all here. It's a good opportunity for her to pour out her inner turmoil.

“These days, I can clearly feel that human power is limited.”

Ke Qing poured herself a cup of tea. Looking at herself in the tea, she smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me for saying this."

"After the immortals and the emperors transferred some of the responsibilities to us, the Liyue Seven Stars and the Thousand Rock Army took on many things."

"For example, the evil spirits and remnants of demons that the immortals are responsible for, we will go and deal with them as soon as we discover them."

"Even sects that have been exorcising evil spirits for thousands of years can handle evil spirits, but they seem powerless against the remnants of demon gods."

"In the end, it was the immortals who secretly intervened and helped us get rid of the remnants of the demon god."

A month ago, Keqing was a staunch advocate of humanity, believing that humans could do anything.

The Emperor and the immortals spoiled the people of Liyue too much. Keqing is a person with an extremely strong sense of crisis, and she is not content with the status quo.

For a thousand years, the Emperor and the immortals have protected Liyue. What will happen in the next thousand years? What will become of Liyue then?

Because of this idea, Keqing asked the Emperor and the immortals during the invocation ceremony to entrust the responsibility to them.

And then, that was it. It couldn't be solved; it was simply impossible to solve.

Those demons that went berserk due to the remnants of the demon god were manageable, but the Thousand Rock Army was no pushover and formed a battle formation to surround and kill them.

The remnants of the demon god left behind after the monster died have caused a problem.

There's no way to deal with this thing. We've tried everything, but the only solution is to seal it.

Then came the awkward part: their sealing techniques were not as sophisticated as those of the Emperor and the immortals.

Furthermore, some generals of the Liyue Seven Stars and the Thousand Rock Army could clearly sense that a large portion of the Demon God's remnants had been dealt with before they arrived.

In other words, the immortals secretly intervened in this incident, and the remaining remnants of the demon god are a test of whether they can resolve the situation.

But the final result was that it couldn't be solved at all.
