Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

But just as the illusory image of the Ice Queen was about to dissipate, she seemed to possess wisdom again and raised her hand.

"！！！！！！！"X2

When Hisagi Shinobu and Sangokoro Shinkai saw this, they thought the Ice Queen was planning to continue attacking Shinhaku.

But the next second, the phantom of the Ice Queen transformed into a stream of icy blue energy, which surged into the woman's body, freezing the flames burning on her body once again.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you are as merciful as ever." The woman praised the Ice Queen once again after feeling the raging fire of life within her being frozen again.

However, due to this force, the woman was completely turned into an ice sculpture and fell heavily to the ground.

Seemingly sensing that there was no threat, the Jade Shield transformed into pale golden rock elemental energy and returned to the stone.

Shen He took out the ordinary-looking stone, stared at it calmly, and finally sighed.

It's unclear what she was lamenting—was she marveling at the Emperor's power, or at her own weakness?

"This is a reusable life-saving artifact!" Coral Palace Xin Hai walked over at this moment and exclaimed, "As expected of the most ancient demon god, everything he personally created is so powerful."

Coral Palace's voice carried a hint of envy. This was the essence of a disciple of the Liyue Immortals. Even if they left Liyue, possessing this item would allow them to practically roam freely on the Teyvat continent.

It's not that the jade shield inside the stone is particularly hard.

Rather, this stone is a symbol of identity, representing that Shen He has divine protection behind him.

As long as you're on the continent of Teyvat, almost anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to mess with Shen He, because messing with her is tantamount to offending Morax, the oldest rock god.

Although Sango Mikoto belongs to Inatsume, the deity she worships is always the deceased Umi no Omikami, and she has no background when she goes out.

Hisaki Shinobu did not participate in the conversation, but instead rushed towards the woman who was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Hmm." Shen He nodded slightly, put the stone away, and said calmly, "Just now I felt a life-or-death crisis that cannot be described in words."

"Now I finally understand why my master always said that having the power of a demon god does not mean that one can officially step into the realm of demon gods."

"The difference between demon gods and those below them is like heaven and earth. If my master hadn't helped me obtain a life-saving item made by the Emperor himself, I probably would have died back then."

That feeling was terrifying; even now, when Shen He thinks back on it, he still feels a chilling dread.

You clearly saw the attack coming, and you could have caught it simply by raising your hand, but the result was death.

No matter how you respond, it's all death. It's as if fate itself reveals its demise the moment the ice spear attacks you.

This also made Shen He realize that he should have a sense of awe for the existence of the Demon God Realm.

Perhaps it was because he had frequently fought against beings who had reached the realm of demon gods, such as General Thunder, Su Hao, and Ella, and had merged with his master, possessing combat power comparable to that of a demon god, that Shen He forgot what reverence was.

The Winter Queen's attack from afar has brought Shen He back to his senses, making him realize just how vast the gap is between him and the Demon God.

At the same time, Shen He seems to have figured out how to enter this field.

This is not a realm that can be entered through so-called life-or-death training, but rather through external means.

Seeing Shen He's expression, Coral Palace Heart Sea blinked. Although she didn't know what Shen He had gained in the battle, she was about to say something.

"Come and take a look at the lady's condition."

Hisagi Shinobu's voice came from not far away. She asked Shin-haku and Sango Kokoro to come and take a look.

This caused Shen He and Coral Palace Xin Hai to exchange a glance and rush towards the lady together.

They were also curious about the lady's current situation. Judging from the previous events, the Ice Queen's phantom ultimately saved the lady's life.

Although the "rescue" here refers to suppressing the liquid-like flames burning on the other person's body, it does not mean rescuing her personally.

After all, the Ice Queen's phantom can only exist for a short while, so there's no possibility of rescuing someone from a distance.

Upon arriving beside Hisuki Shinobu, Shinhaku and Sangoko Kokoro saw the lady who had been turned into an ice sculpture.

Inside the ice sculpture, the other person had their eyes closed, and the resentment on their face had disappeared, replaced by calm.

Furthermore, the woman, who remained silent, exuded an air of noble elegance and sophistication.

To be honest, seeing such a woman made Hisagi Shinobu and the others feel a little uncomfortable, after all, in their eyes, women are the epitome of "insidious".

She may be noble, but she's far from elegant.

"I just checked it, and this layer of ice is very hard. I tried to cut it with a knife, but I couldn't even make a mark."

Hisaki Shinobu sheathed her katana and looked at Shin-haku and Sango Konoko, saying, "To be honest, I don't know if the lady can hear us now."

"Because the Ice Queen most likely temporarily froze the lady, allowing her to recover slowly inside."

"After she fully recovered, she jumped out and caught us off guard."

Upon hearing this, Shen He calmly replied, "She is no longer my match. Without the power of authority, her remaining life is probably not enough to keep her burning brightly."

"Hmm." Coral Palace Heart Sea also nodded slightly. She looked at the lady who had turned into an ice sculpture and sighed, "Perhaps, the Ice Queen couldn't bear to see the lady burn her life like this."

"That's why I acted remotely to freeze her, so that at least she could survive for a short time."

It is a well-known fact that God loves people.

Moreover, the lady is the executive officer of the Fools, and has made unimaginable contributions to Winter and the Fools.

You can criticize the lady, but you can't deny that she was indeed the hardest working person among the fools.

Whether it's Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, or Sumeru, she has her own methods for setting up these places.

Putting aside their positions, if the other side is an ally, then they are a very reassuring presence.

But she was the enemy, so Su Hao and his group wanted nothing more than to skin her alive!

Therefore, it is understandable that the Ice Queen intervened to save her life. It would be unreasonable not to help someone who has worked hard even if they haven't made any great contributions.

"Let's seal her away first, and then we'll figure out a way to bring her back to Mondstadt."

As Hisagi Shinobu spoke, Shin-haku and Sango-no-miya Kokoro nodded in agreement.

And so, Hisaki Shinobu, Shin-haku, and Sango Miyako Shinkai joined forces to begin setting up a seal on the woman who had turned into an ice sculpture.

To ensure that the other party would not break through the ice and to hear the following conversation, Hisaki Shinobu, Shin-haku, and Sango Mikoto Shinkai went to great lengths.

The battle here has temporarily come to an end. Hisaki Shinobu took a picture of the lady who had turned into an ice sculpture, posted it in the chat group, and told her what had just happened.

Here, Shinobu Kuji emphasizes that the Ice Queen saved people from afar, and her intention was to express God's love for humanity.

But to others, it was just that the Ice Queen was breaking the rules and directly interfering in the battle of her juniors.

Inside Liyue Harbor, Zhongli, who was drinking tea, looked at the messages in the chat group. His gaze was directed towards Zhidong, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.

"you want to go?"

Seeing Zhongli's actions, Gui Zhong knew that the other party planned to make a trip to Zhidong.

“Hmm.” Zhongli nodded slightly. He looked in the direction of Zhidong and said calmly, “She broke the rules by directly interfering in the battle as the ruler. Although I don’t think she would do something like bullying the weak.”

"But since her phantom appeared, not only launching an attack but also saving the lady in the end, she must take on this responsibility."

Yes, no matter how much his subordinates fought, Zhongli wouldn't interfere. At most, he would just stand there and let others guess his thoughts.

But one thing is certain: he won't take action unless his own people are in mortal danger.

Or even if he does make a move, he won't do it so obviously that anyone can find fault with him.

The Ice Queen made a move from afar. Whether she directly attacked Shen He was unclear to Zhong Li, although he felt that she wouldn't do something like bullying the weak.

But she did indeed save the woman, so the other party has no choice but to take the blame.

"Want me to come with you?" Gui Zhong seemed eager to try, clearly impatient to go to Zhidong together.

After all, she has been staying in Liyue since her resurrection. Although Liyue is beautiful, why not go out and see different scenery when there is a chance to do so?

Zhongli shook his head slightly and looked at Guizhong calmly, saying, "You can't go. This is a dialogue between the seven ruling powers of the mortal world, and there is even a possibility of armed conflict."

"If you go there, then I won't be able to fight with all my might."

Yes, this trip is to cause trouble, and it's very likely to end in a fight. Zhongli doesn't want to drag Guizhong into it.

Although the opponent is indeed a demon god, there are still differences among demon gods. Look at Nasita, even though she is a demon god, she still can't defeat a rogue soldier who has just entered the realm of demon gods.

It is even necessary to rely on [Aila] to fight against it, so the Great Tree King's concerns are not without reason.

Therefore, Zhongli did not intend to bring Guizhong with him on his journey to Zhidong, partly because Guizhong's death years ago had left him with a lingering trauma.

Now that Gui Zhong has been brought back to life with the help of the chat group, Zhong Li will never let her be put in danger unless her safety can be guaranteed.

No matter what happens in Liyue, if Guizhong is once again caught in battle or danger, their old friends will be there to help immediately.

Even Ruoduo under the Dragon Tree can appear as a surprise attack, making it difficult for Gui to die in the end, unless a higher-ranking being intervenes without regard for martial ethics.

But the possibility of this is almost zero!

"Alright." Hearing Zhongli say that, Gui Zhong was naturally a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.

Being a bad cook is a cardinal sin~ I'd better just stay in Liyue.

“Hmm.” Zhongli nodded, his gaze fixed on Zhidong in the distance. He said calmly, “Then I’ll head over there first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli disappeared from his spot, transforming into a golden dragon and rushing towards Zhidong.

Right now, he is not Zhongli, the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, but Morax, the Rock God.

"Sigh~ How come I didn't realize he was so cunning back then?"

Gui Zhong watched Zhong Li leave, shook his head helplessly, and felt inexplicably amused.

If it were Zhongli during the Demon God War, he would most likely have chosen to question her in this situation.

If the Winter Queen shows remorse, he will not pursue her mistakes excessively.

Now, he clearly intends to use this leverage to force Zhi Dong to bleed heavily. If the other party is unwilling to bleed heavily, then he will probably have to use force to make Zhi Dong submit.

It seems he has made quite a few changes over the years.

As she pondered this, she wondered what she would do after Zhongli left. She didn't really like things like drinking tea and listening to music.

"Forget it~ let's continue manufacturing the Rota Machine." Gui Zhong stopped worrying about it and decided to continue manufacturing the Rota Machine.

Watching Su Hao confront the fully-formed God of Machines in the group live stream, Gui Zhong couldn't help but sigh.

Those scholars in the Academy of Teachings are really quite capable. Even now, with the help of old friends like Liu Yun and Jie Feng, they are still very skilled.

It's also unlikely that such a mecha comparable to a demon god could be created, because the source of the energy core alone is no simple matter.

Are you suggesting that Zhongli should take out the Heart of the Rock God and stuff it into Ruoduoji himself?

Hmm... it doesn't seem like it's impossible.
