Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"What a pity. If I had taken this thing back, I might have gotten some reward."

D'Artagnan arrived at the corpse of the giant serpent in the ruins. He felt a pang of regret ever since Kanria was gone.

Items of this caliber are extremely rare. If we were to bring this giant serpent from the ruins back as a gift for the Doctor or the puppet...

They'll probably be very happy, since both of them are researchers.

The puppet would probably be even happier, because she especially likes this kind of thing.

As for the Doctor, D'Artagnan wasn't quite sure, because it depended on the other person's age group.

Some PhDs might be interested in this, while others might not.

“Indeed.” Ye Lan also felt a little regretful, but she only felt regretful because this thing had been infected by dark energy.

Putting aside its enormous size, how are we supposed to pull it back?

The sheer amount of dark energy emanating from the other party was enough to give Ye Lan a major headache.

It's impossible to expect this blond traveler from Mondstadt to expend so much energy to help them cleanse this dark energy, is it?

"What a pity." Coral Palace Heart Sea also felt quite regretful. If this giant serpent from the ruins had been captured alive or controlled, the value it created would have been enormous.

But unfortunately, could that dark energy infect not only living organisms but also machines?

"Su Hao, what do you think?" Jiuqi Ren looked at Su Hao and asked him what to do next.

Su Hao looked down at his feet, frowned slightly, and said, "Get ready. The attack just now has damaged the ground even more. We might fall down."

"Huh?" Paimon was slightly taken aback, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Fall down?! Impossible! Because I can fly!"

Ying showed a rather subtle expression; she felt that Paimon's words were a bit argumentative.

Even if she can fly, how will she return to the safe location alone after they land?

Keep in mind that this place is very, very far from the safe location.

Even though Su Hao and his group killed a large number of monsters along the way, Paimon was still a weakling with a combat power of five. He couldn't do anything except be cute and eat.

"Okay." Ella nodded, indicating that she understood.

Xiao nodded silently; he was already prepared to fall.

He came here specifically for this moment, to witness the truth of what happened back then, and the final fate of the nameless demon.

Shen He remained calm, silently clenching her fist, clearly prepared to deal with the upcoming "unexpected event".

"Click——!!"

"Click——!!"

"boom--!!!"

Just then, a large crack appeared in the ground, and Paimon, who had been standing with his hands on his hips, indicating that he would never fall, felt a strange suction force.

"Eeeeeeeeeee!!!!" Paimon screamed, but despite being flying, she was the one that fell the fastest.

Upon seeing this, Ying rushed over without saying a word and grabbed Paimon with both hands.

"Ella!"

Su Hao grabbed Ella's hand and Shen He's hand with his other hand, shouting, "Everyone hold on to each other! We might get separated!"

"To avoid being completely separated, grab onto a part of the other person's body, preferably their hand."

This sentence was actually meant for Xiao, Yelan, and Datalia.

Everyone else knew about this because Black Ella made it very clear that she had caused a huge commotion down there.

So there's a small problem with that space; if an outsider were to enter, it would very likely be broken apart.

Su Hao wasn't sure if this method would work, but regardless, it was definitely worth a try.

Hisagi Shinobu grabbed Shin-haku's hand.

Coral Palace Heart Sea then grabbed Ella and Night Orchid's hands.

"it is good!"

Tadalia nodded, then looked at Xiao beside him.

"........."

Xiao was silent for about 0.1 seconds before reluctantly reaching out and grabbing Tadalia.

"Help me—!!!"

Paimon yelled and screamed, but she couldn't do anything about it.

At that moment, everyone felt dizzy, as if they had been caught in a vortex.

Then, a white light engulfed everyone.

Outside the giant abyss of layered rocks, Zhongli stood silently with his arms crossed, watching the Thousand Rock Army below quickly mobilize, and Gan Yu continuously releasing her aura.

"Are you worried?"

Gui Zhong appeared and came to Zhong Li's side. She seemed unable to smile at this moment and said with some helplessness, "If you are worried, why don't you let me go over?"

"I'm a demon god, after all. Even if it's dangerous over there, they can't possibly let me die again, right?"

Even now, Gui Zhong is still quite puzzled as to why Zhong Li wouldn't let him go there.

As the second strongest fighter in Liyue, she has every reason to act alongside Su Hao and the others.

Hmm~ The strongest fighter is Morax~

The hidden second force, the Dragon King Ruoduo, is currently sealed under the Dragon-Subduing Tree.

So it's no exaggeration to say that I'm the second strongest fighter on the surface. Even if the demon god is weak, he's still not someone that an ordinary immortal can defeat.

Moreover, Gui Zhong was no weakling either! Although she died in battle back then, she successfully dealt a severe blow to the opposing demon god!

She may not be good at fighting, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of fighting.

"…………"

Zhongli remained silent, gazing at the massive abyss of rock below, and said calmly, "They've gone in."

"If anything unexpected happens, then I will take action."

Seeing that Zhongli didn't answer his question, Gui Zhong said somewhat impatiently, "Hey!! Hurry up and answer! Why won't you let me pass?!"

"Speak up now! Or I'll bite you!"

As she said this, Gui Zhong directly hugged Zhong Li with both hands, opening her [blood-red mouth] as if ready to bite at any moment.

"..." Zhongli looked at Guizhong helplessly, and finally said, "That space has a weak self-awareness. If you go there, your life will be in danger."

"It's not that there's anything in that space that will endanger you, but rather that it will repel you. Do you want to face the spatial turbulence head-on?"

Upon hearing about the spatial turbulence, Gui Zhong was momentarily speechless; even demon gods wouldn't want to touch such a thing.

Zhongli continued to explain, "Even your existence is a great threat to that space. Although it has self-awareness, it is not much."

"What would you do if faced with a very dangerous enemy who wanted to forcibly enter your territory?"

Gui remained silent, which meant it was a fight to the death, just like she had done back then, and then she died.

If she hadn't left a wisp of her soul within the lock of the mortal world, she would probably be truly dead.

Upon learning of this, Gui Zhong sighed helplessly. He hadn't expected that the Demon God would sometimes become so timid and hesitant.

"Furthermore," Zhongli changed the subject, looking down as if piercing through space, and said calmly, "Su Hao's strength is no weaker than yours, although he has no power."

"But he possesses the heart of God bestowed by the drunken poet, the martial arts taught by Balzeb, and..."

Zhongli stretched out his hand, and a smile quietly appeared on his lips as if he had thought of something.

A pure rock element energy condensed in his hand, and then this rock element energy compressed into a shape similar to the Rock Hypostasis.

"Huh?! You've finally decided to give the Rock God's authority?" Gui Zhong smiled inexplicably upon seeing this.

Because it's so rare! Zhongli is actually planning to grant the Rock God authority!!!

Previously, Gui Zhong was puzzled. Since Zhong Li was determined to make Su Hao the next Rock God, why did he delay in giving him the authority of the Rock God?

Of course, whether or not you give it is secondary; what matters is your attitude!

Look at the Wind God of Mondstadt next door! He only met Su Hao a few times, and without saying a word, he granted him the authority of the Wind God and even gave him the Heart of God, then just packed his bags and left.

Then there's Thor. She went even further, putting aside the issue of Thor's authority and succession, she publicly declared that the next Thor would be Su Hao.

If she steps down, then the next Thor will undoubtedly be Su Hao!

This is a decision that no one can change.

In contrast, Zhongli's situation is more complicated. Although he was given the inheritance of the Rock God, the inheritance is incomplete, and the authority of the Rock God was not given.

During the ritual of inviting immortals, they merely verbally indicated that there was an heir, but did not reveal who it was, behaving like a riddle teller.

Now that Zhongli is actually planning to take the initiative, Guidian gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Well done!"

"He had a legitimate reason to act. He wanted to save Fushe, but his power was not strong enough. As the Rock God, what's wrong with giving him power?"

With that, Zhongli threw down the [Rock God's Authority], which transformed into a stream of light and shot straight into the depths of the Rock Abyss.

Then Zhongli crossed his arms and said calmly, "Moreover, what I am giving you is not just the authority of the Rock God."

"?!" Gui Zhong stared wide-eyed at Zhong Li and said, "You're not going to give the Heart of God, are you?!"

Zhongli shook his head slightly. Although he wanted to give the Heart of God, if he did so now, Balzeb would probably have to rush over from Inazuma, which would only make things more complicated.

He won't do things that cause trouble for himself.

It has to be done logically and naturally, and since we're vying for the succession, we have to win it all in one fell swoop! Don't give your opponents any chance.

"Then what should we give him?" Gui Zhong was now somewhat puzzled as to what Zhong Li was up to.

Besides the Rock God's Authority, she couldn't quite figure out what else the other party had added.

"You'll find out later."

Zhongli said something casually, and then continued to watch what was below.

"Alright." Gui Zhong didn't want Zhong Li to say it out loud, because she was also thinking about what Zhong Li had given to Su Hao.

As for whether the Rock God's authority could successfully reach Su Hao's hands, Gui Zhong remained completely unperturbed.
