But the prerequisite is... that the Rock King, who possesses the ability to overturn the chessboard, is willing to hand over the Heart of the Rock God; otherwise, Zhidong will not take any action.

The Fools wouldn't do something that's too strenuous or undesirable; they're not that selfless.

Furthermore, given the Rock King Emperor's favoritism towards Su Hao, if nothing unexpected happens, the Heart of the Rock God is very likely to be passed down to him.

Since that's the case, why not wait until Su Hao obtains the Heart of the Rock God, and then establish a cooperative relationship with him, and borrow the Heart of the Rock God for his own use?

After listening to everything Arecino had to say, Zhongli remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I will give you the location for sealing the second demon god."

"In Liyue today, Oser alone is not enough to pose much of a threat. Only the two Demon Gods who have broken free from their seals can bring some danger."

Arecino was somewhat surprised, not expecting Zhong Li to say such a thing. She tentatively asked, "Is it because of Su Hao and the others?"

Arecino already knew how strong Su Hao was through the intelligence network at the executive level.

Not only does he possess the power of a demon god, but even the maid beside him is his old friend.

That person, [Ella], can use mysterious items to enter the realm of demons in a short period of time.

In other words, Su Hao's side alone possesses two stable Demon God combat forces, plus the Liyue Immortals and some Liyue powerhouses.

Two powerful demon gods who have broken free of their seals are really not enough to impress you.

"They won't interfere, and neither will I," Zhongli said calmly. This matter concerns Liyue's future millennium opportunity, and he will not allow anyone to interfere.

Moreover, Su Hao, Ella, and Black Ella know his identity. As long as he informs them in advance, they will not interfere with this matter.

However… Zhongli seemed to have a headache about what to do with Ruo Tuo, so he decided to release another [old friend].

"Oh?!" Arecino seemed to understand something, a hint of admiration and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Judging from the current situation in Liyue, this Geo Archon intends to completely relinquish power and accelerate the transition from humans to immortals.

But it was precisely this kind and powerful god who was not the god of Fontaine that made Arecino somewhat sad.

"Once the matter is accomplished, I will naturally give you what you requested by winter."

Zhongli was unconcerned about the Heart of God. He said calmly, "However, if you fail to fulfill the contract by the time of winter..."

“Then we certainly won’t be shameless enough to appear before you,” Arecino said directly and decisively.

Zhongli nodded in satisfaction, and then prepared to leave the deserted alley.

But at that moment, Arecino suddenly spoke up: "Lord Rock King, I have a private request, may I ask you..."

Before Arecino could finish speaking, Zhongli slowly said, "I understand what you want to say, but the prophecy cannot be changed. Agoria is gone, and I don't know what Fucarus is doing."

“But according to the ancient covenant, as the Rock King Emperor, I cannot interfere in the affairs of other countries. If you want to stop the prophecy, you should not seek the help of the gods to resolve this matter.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Li's figure completely disappeared from Arecino's sight.

That's all Zhongli could say. He couldn't reveal too much, but in order to get Arecino to do her best to help Liyue, he still shared some information.

That was to show her the right path: to stop the prophecy, she shouldn't seek "gods," but rather another being.

As for what it is, he wouldn't say, but would leave it to Arecino to figure out for herself.

Chapter 402 The First Water God Perishes in Sumeru?!

Zhongli left just like that, leaving Arecino alone in the place lost in thought.

The information given by the Rock King Emperor was truly significant, even more so than the prophecy that the Queen had told him when he joined the Winter Solstice.

Fontaine will inevitably suffer annihilation as prophesied, leaving only the water god weeping on his throne.

The information given by the Rock King Emperor was very significant; he told himself it directly.

We cannot seek help from the gods; it is an ancient covenant that the gods of other countries cannot interfere in the affairs of other countries.

Arecino felt that these three pieces of information were very important. The first was that the gods could not help her, which explained why Her Majesty the Queen had told her directly that she was powerless to do anything about it.

At least for now, she is powerless to do anything but lament Fontaine's unfortunate fate for Arecino.

The Rock King also said that he was powerless against the prophecy, which meant that it was a predetermined thing.

Second, the ancient contract, which was made on Sky Island by the original seven gods who ended the war between the demons.

The reason why the Rock King Emperor specifically mentioned this point was probably to tell himself that the prophecy was a divine decree.

Just as the Seven Gods did not want to break the ancient covenant, Fontaine's prophecy could not be broken either.

Third, the gods of other countries cannot interfere in the affairs of other countries. When the Rock King said this, Arecino felt that the other party was implying something.

If the gods cannot interfere, then who can? Or rather... who can intervene in such a disaster that sweeps across a country?

Su Hao? He is not the current god, but merely the next Thunder God, chosen by the Rock King Emperor as the successor and acting Grass God, etc.

He must be capable of helping me, because unlike the Seven Gods, he didn't sign so many strange contracts.

But whether the other party can help is unknown.

After all, Arecino knew how much of a grudge she had against Ella, and that Su Hao would never help her easily.

So who else can I turn to besides him?

First, the other party's status cannot be too weak; second, the other party's status must be absolutely free, without interference from any country; and finally, the other party must be a kind-hearted individual who is willing to meddle in other people's business.

Arecino stayed where she was, going over the information in her mind again and again, and before she knew it, she had walked onto the main street of Liyue Harbor.

The bustling and prosperous scene made Arecino sigh even more helplessly, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Under the leadership of the Geo Archon, Liyue is not only well-planned now, but also full of vitality for the future.

Fontaine may seem prosperous and have a promising future, but according to her family's investigation, the prophecy is about to begin.

Five years? Or ten years... Fontaine doesn't have that much time to delay, if the prophecy really comes true by then.

Then it would be too late, so he had to get everything ready before then and face the water god Fucarus.

She believed that with her sincerity, she could definitely persuade the water god Fucarus to reveal the solution to the prophecy, and that she would then obey his commands and work together to resolve the prophecy.

But the most pressing issue now is how to find suitable personnel, or rather... does such a being truly exist on the continent of Teyvat?

Just as Arecino was feeling troubled, she suddenly heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Wow~ Traveler~ What a fruitful day! Not only did I have a good meal, but I also got to see everyone."

Upon hearing this voice, Arecino naturally pictured a flying mascot in her mind; the voice was so distinctive that it was hard to forget.

So Arecino decisively hid in a secluded corner, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, and she quickly spotted Paimon, who stood out, along with Luminous and Mona beside her.

"Ha, it was a fruitful day for you, but for me it was pure fright."

Mona patted her chest, which barely rose or fell, and said helplessly, "To be honest, you guys took me to this kind of dinner party without saying a word."

"The moment I went in, I wondered who I was, where I was, and why I was there."

Ying smiled slightly and looked at Mona, saying, "Since you are currently living at Su Hao's house, I need to take you to meet them beforehand."

"Huh?! That big house belongs to Su Hao?!" Mona seemed shocked, completely unexpected that she was now living in Su Hao's house.

“Yes, that’s right.” Ying nodded, looking at Mona’s seemingly frightened face with a smile, and said, “Su Hao once told me about it.”

“He said the house he bought was too big, and if people didn’t have a place to stay, they could stay at his place, which would save Mora the expense of staying in a hotel.”

Paimon nodded repeatedly and said earnestly, "Furthermore, we can cook for ourselves there, the beds are big and soft, and we only need to spend a little time cleaning daily."

"As long as it's not dirty or messy there, you can stay there indefinitely. Doesn't that sound great?"

For various reasons, Mona and Ying traveled together temporarily, so Mona naturally stayed at Ying's place for the time being.

Mona initially thought it was a house bought by Ying, since she knew very well what Ying had done in the Abyss of Lapis Lazuli.

Having accomplished such a massive feat, Ying has a guaranteed Mora of over 100 million. Buying a house in Liyue Harbor shouldn't be a piece of cake for her.

What's really annoying is that they bought a place right next to the ancestral hall.

What is the Hall of Rebirth? It is a place where the dead must come, and the living must avoid.

Becoming neighbors with the Temple of Rebirth requires real strength to keep the other side in check.

Now, Mona feels that the issue isn't whether or not she can control the Rebirth Hall, but whether the Rebirth Hall deserves to be neighbors with this group of people.

Is he really that ruthless? Wouldn't the head of the Rebirth Hall, whom he's never met, be afraid of being neighbors with the next Thor successor from Inazuma next door?

and many more……

In that instant, Mona recalled Zhongli's words: he was merely a minor guest of the Hall of Rebirth.

Could it be?! The other person also lives in the ancestral hall?!

At this moment, Mona felt that everything she experienced in Liyue before heading to Mondstadt to complete the old woman's quest would probably be incredibly exciting.

Luminous, Mona, and Paimon left chatting and laughing. Arecino looked at the blonde traveler with a thoughtful expression.

"Someone is coming."

Arecino spoke.

"Shh!"

In the darkness, the two lightning-fire sorcerer sisters appeared. They had been following Arecino closely, but remained hidden and never appeared in the open.

"Compile all the information on that blond traveler and give it to me as quickly as possible," Arecino commanded calmly.

"understand!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

The Thunderfire Sorcerer sisters responded immediately, and then disappeared from the spot together.

Arecino stared at Ying's retreating figure, lost in thought. Perhaps this was an opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Arecino merged into the darkness. After receiving a reply from the Rock King, it was time for her to pass the message on to Winter.

The Empress will then issue the order directly to D'Artagnan, thus completing her mission.

However, besides that, Liyue has many other opportunities to manipulate things for her own benefit.

The night was long, and everyone had their own things to do, but of course, none of these things had anything to do with Su Hao.

He immediately returned to the house he had bought in Liyue, where he was served by Ella and Black Ella. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he lay in bed and browsed the chat group.

Ella and Black Ella went out to fight because they wanted to "take it a step further".

However, both sides got into a fight over Su Hao's first time.
