Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

This formation is quite unusual; it seems to have a soul-nourishing effect, but this is only the effect that can be seen on the surface.

Shen He and Yae no Shinji could not discern its true nature or function.

It's important to know that Shen He and Yae no Miko are no ordinary people; one is a disciple of a group of immortals, and the other is a shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha.

They were among the most knowledgeable people on the Teyvat continent, but even so, they couldn't figure out what kind of formation Zhongli had set up.

'As expected, this is no ordinary person,' Yae no Miko thought to herself.

Shen He was somewhat flustered, but not too strongly, because Zhong Li was very knowledgeable and also possessed the legacy of the Rock God.

A family that has survived from the time of the Demon God War to the present must have some foundation; this is quite normal.

Moreover, while she herself might not know, her master certainly did. She wasn't particularly skilled in formations; she only had a basic understanding of them.

"You are here."

At this moment, Zhongli turned around, looked at everyone, and said calmly, "It's not time yet, let's wait a while longer."

"We're not going to have to wait until midnight again, are we?" Su Hao said with a somewhat strange expression.

Last time at Stargazing Cliff, when I saw Venti wearing a crown and divine armor heading to the Isle of Time, the other party also waited until dawn to arrive.

Zhong Li nodded with a smile, because Su Hao had guessed correctly; they would have to wait until midnight.

"What's the principle behind this?" Su Hao looked at Zhong Li with some curiosity. To be honest, they always had to wait until the early hours of the morning to carry out the operation.

This made Su Hao very curious about the underlying principles.

I can understand Wendy's part, but I can't quite understand Zhongli's.

Could it be that there's a special buff at midnight that makes the resurrection process smoother?

"Teyvat time is 24 hours."

At this moment, Yae no Miko spoke up. She looked at Zhongli with some surprise and slowly explained, "Every day when time comes to an end, that is, at dawn, some mysterious and powerful creatures will awaken."

"I saw records of this back in Inazuma, but I don't know why such a mysterious and powerful creature would awaken."

"But every time it gets light, a mysterious force does appear on the continent of Teyvat."

"Mr. Zhongli, do you wish to use this power?"

Zhongli shook his head slightly, then nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but then said nothing.

This involves a taboo; he knows he can use it, but he cannot say it.

Seeing that Zhongli didn't say anything, Yae no Miko's expression stiffened, but he didn't say anything more.

Su Hao blinked, because he seemed to have seen the concept of the Eightfold Divine Child before when he was playing the game.

Forget it, I won't think about it too much. I'll just wait quietly.

Mr. Zhongli seemed rather nervous as well. He didn't say much to Su Hao and the others, but simply extended his hand silently.

The lock of the mortal world sensed something and fell into his hand.

"…………"

Zhongli looked down at Liyue Harbor, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sighs. He knew what he had to do next.

But he had to do it because he had specifically asked Gui Zhong before preparing for the resurrection ceremony.

With the help of the chat group, how much did she recover, and how fast was her recovery progress?

Gui Zhong said that it was quite fast at first, then it slowed down, and now it has become very stable, recovering a little soul power every day.

Four or five days passed, and Gui Zhong could clearly feel that he had only recovered a little bit of his soul power.

At this rate, unless she is given a management position or new features are added to the chat group in the future, it will take about a thousand years to reach the perfect opportunity for resurrection.

Can they wait? Zhongli didn't know, because what he saw was far more than most people could imagine.

If the war between the demons and gods had just ended, Zhongli would have been willing to spend a thousand years waiting for Guizhong to be resurrected.

But now, Teyvat is about to undergo a new change, and Zhongli cannot see what the next millennium will bring.

That's why he went to Mondstadt and asked Venti to find a way to obtain the power of time, intending to resurrect Guildra ahead of schedule.

Wendy successfully obtained the power of time. Although he was sealed away for about a year, as long as he successfully created concentrated resin, he was successful.

Zhongli, Abedo, and Wendy had discussed in private whether concentrated resin and specially made empty-shell dolls could be perfectly resurrected and returned to their final form.

The answer is, there is a 90% chance of resurrection.

However, there is still a 10% chance of failure, because the resurrection of the demon god is an unprecedented feat.

Right now, Zhongli was also afraid of that one percent chance of it happening, so he spent some time setting up an array.

This formation was set up using a large amount of materials. During the process, Zhongli, in his capacity as the Rock King Emperor, had the immortals come to inspect it.

Because he wasn't particularly skilled in formations, only having a slight understanding of them, he was still slightly inferior to those immortals who specialized in studying formations.

Although the other immortals did not know what the Emperor was planning, they still helped him complete this formation, which was comparable to the formation that trapped the Dragon King Ruotu.

Zhongli reached out and placed several dozen concentrated resins on the Lock of the Mortal World. A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes as he said, "All we need to do is let Guizhong unlock the Lock of the Mortal World from the inside."

Then Zhongli waved his hand and placed the specially made empty-shell puppet in the center of the formation.

"Is there anything we need to do?"

Su Hao couldn't help but ask, as the resurrection and return to the end ceremony was about to begin, and he was thinking about what to do.

It's impossible for a bunch of people to just stand here and watch, right?

"After Gui Zhong comes out, Su Hao, please transfer my management position to Gui Zhong."

Zhongli looked at Su Hao and said calmly, "The position of manager has a brief period of increased power."

“I was afraid that her soul power was too weak to absorb the concentrated resin, so I had to temporarily enhance Gui Zhong’s soul power through the chat group’s management position so that she could digest a piece of concentrated resin.”

"Once you digest one, things will be much easier from here on out."

Su Hao nodded slightly, not refusing. After all, as the chat group owner, he could naturally step down from the management position and give it back to someone else.

"Next, we just have to wait quietly."

Zhongli gazed down at Liyue Harbor, his heart still heavy.

Second by second passed.

At this moment, there is one minute left until midnight.

That minute felt incredibly long, and everyone present began to tense up.

Even though Su Hao only blushed slightly when drinking, his breathing became somewhat heavy at this moment.

Although all he needed to do was hand over Zhongli's management position to Guizhong when Guizhong opened the lock of the mortal world, there would be nothing else to do.

But he couldn't help but start to feel nervous. What if his hand slipped? Would something terrible happen?

Soon, as time ticked by, it was already past midnight.

"Crack!"

The lock of the mortal world opened right on time.

"The time has come, prepare for battle!"

Zhongli made no attempt to conceal his presence; golden light shone in his eyes, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him.

This grand formation, created by the immortals and the Rock King Emperor, was successfully activated with the help of the unknown power that appeared at dawn.

In an instant, the formation enveloped everyone, forcibly pulling them into a special space.

"here it is?!"

Yae no Miko looked around at her surroundings. Although the environment was still exactly the same, the colors around her had become somewhat dim.

Furthermore, the Eightfold Divine Child was a knowledgeable being, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "The consciousness space of a demon god?! This formation has the effect of nourishing the soul, and it also has the effect of simulating a consciousness space?!"

"This?! This must be the work of a celestial being?!"

Yae no Miko was very surprised, as was Shen He, because she sensed her master's aura within this great formation.

Could it be that Master was involved as well?

Judging from this, Mr. Zhongli is indeed quite extraordinary, as he was even able to invite his master.

Ella sensed everything around her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, because of the concept of consciousness space.

As Raiden Shin once said, Ayla once fought against another version of herself, Black Ayla, in the mental space.

The demon god's spiritual space is called the consciousness space, which is an independent space.

The "Divine Transformation: Eye of Evil" technique that Raiden Shin taught the young master was also a key to unlocking Raiden's cinematic consciousness space.

Abedo also stated that he himself could use alchemy to simulate the space of consciousness for a while.

But the formation that Zhongli is using now is not a simple simulation of consciousness space.

Everyone present was shocked, except for Hisaki Shinobu, who remained relatively calm.

Because she guessed that Zhongli was a celestial being, and that he wanted to be resurrected and return to the origin, he would definitely join forces with other celestial beings to set up a grand formation, so there was nothing to be surprised about.

"........."

Su Hao remained silent, his mind completely focused on the Lock of the Mortal World.

As the lock to the mortal world opened, a figure so transparent as to be almost invisible appeared, with a gentle smile on her face.

It's as if it's saying, "I've finally been reborn!!!"

Upon seeing her, a flicker of nostalgia crossed Zhongli's eyes, and he silently murmured to himself, "Long time no see, old friend."

When Gui Zhong saw Zhong Li, she also showed a very, very cute smile. Her small mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

The more than twenty concentrated resins that had been placed on the Lock of the Mortal World have now entered Gui Zhong's body.

But, not enough.

Because the soul power was too weak, even with the soul-nourishing function of the great array, a concentrated resin was slowly melting and did not melt instantly upon entering the mouth.

The most worrying thing happened: Gui Zhong's soul consciousness was far too weak at this moment.

It didn't even have the power to digest concentrated resin, but fortunately, this space was simulated as a space of consciousness.

Otherwise, if it were just the act of absorbing concentrated resin, this wisp of consciousness would probably have dissipated by the end, instead of remaining so steadfast and still trying to absorb the concentrated resin.
