"If any unexpected situation arises and I am unable to control the situation on the spot immediately, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you."

Ningguang was very serious. Although she had told Yura and the others that she would never use Su Hao unless absolutely necessary, she was very careful.

But there's a saying that goes, "The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you."

A shrewd and beautiful woman like Ningguang is naturally used to lying, and she even holds back when dealing with Mondstadt's allies.

On the day of the Summoning Ceremony, no mistakes were allowed. Ningguang relied on information from the Traveler, the Mondstadt Mission, and the Seven Stars Intelligence Network.

Having learned about the Fatui's recent activities, Ningguang is certain that the Fatui are plotting a massive conspiracy to overthrow Liyue.

Although it's unclear where the Fools got their audacity to play such tricks at the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, Ningguang wouldn't underestimate her enemy, so she decisively summoned Su Hao.

Having entered the realm of demon gods, possessing the inheritance of the Rock God, and being hailed as the next Thor, Su Hao is definitely a powerful ally, as long as he's around.

So the ritual of summoning immortals is unlikely to encounter any major problems. If even Su Hao can't withstand it, then we can only ask the Emperor for help!

Ningguang's abacus was incredibly efficient, calculating every single possibility.

"Okay, I agree."

Su Hao agreed without hesitation. He looked at Ningguang and said, "I can just stand by your side tomorrow, right?"

“Yes.” Ningguang nodded seriously, then added, “It’s just your friends and maid. They can’t be with us, but they won’t be too far away from us.”

"After all, their identities are somewhat complicated, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to join us in the [Summoning of Immortals]."

Ningguang spoke rather tactfully here because her position during tomorrow's Immortal Invitation Ceremony would be the closest to the Emperor.

This is also one of the benefits of being one of the Seven Stars who organizes the ritual of inviting the immortals.

To be able to see the Emperor directly, and even to speak with him directly, is an immense honor for the people of Liyue and the Seven Stars.

This honor is not something everyone can bear. Ningguang, as one of the Seven Stars in charge of the contemporary ritual of inviting immortals, can stand in that position. Su Hao, needless to say, as the successor of the Rock God, can also stand there.

However, others are not allowed to approach this area. If Ningguang allows so many people to stand in her position, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.

“No problem.” Su Hao readily agreed. He was naturally aware of these intricacies; he had experienced something similar back in the days of Inazuma and Sumeru.

Anyway, the ritual to invite the immortals will proceed as scheduled tomorrow, so it doesn't matter where I stand.

"Thank you." Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief, clearly much more relaxed, because no matter how you looked at it, this matter somewhat implied that Su Hao was being dragged into a situation where the other party shouldn't have been responsible.

"You're thanking me?" Su Hao looked at Ning Guang with a smile and said, "I thought we were friends. You don't need to be so respectful to me."

"Back then, I was just an ordinary member of Thor's family."

As he accumulated more and more titles, Su Hao could clearly feel that the people around him were treating him with increasing respect, which he did not like.

After all, some people, once they gain great power, become nationalists and become arrogant.

Some people, like Saitama, do not change their lives after gaining great power.

Or they are like Superman, knowing how powerful they are, yet choosing to hide themselves, restrain their power, and help others.

Su Hao felt that his personality was probably like Saitama's, but he wasn't bald, and his emotions weren't strangely indifferent.

Therefore, he also hoped that his friends would treat him as always. If they were too respectful to him, Su Hao might not be able to handle it.

If you think about it carefully, no matter where you go, everyone treats you with utmost respect, calling you "adult" all the time. That takes away a lot of the fun in life.

Su Hao didn't know how the others were doing, but he knew he would find it extremely boring.

"How could you say something like that, just a regular member of the Thunder God's familiar?" Ningguang was both amused and exasperated. She knew that even the status of a member of the Thunder God's familiar was far more prestigious than that of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Even the Fatui Enforcers wouldn't dare to underestimate the Familia of Thor, because status is status, and strength is strength.

When it comes to international exchanges, the executors of the Fools cannot directly meet foreign gods; they must undergo layers of review before they can meet them.

In Inazuma, the women who were still alive went to see General Raiden according to the rules and regulations.

The status of a divine attendant allows for direct communication with the gods; even when traveling to foreign lands, the gods of those lands will treat the divine attendant with hospitality.

This can be seen from the way they received the delegations from various countries. Originally, Ningguang was supposed to be the one to receive Mondstadt, but she was too busy, so she had to hand it over to her direct subordinate, Yelan.

The delegation was received by Gan Yu, the Seven Star Secretary. Although Gan Yu's official position was Seven Star Secretary, she was also a member of the divine family.

In terms of status and position, he was on par with Yae no Miko.

The person who received the Sumeru delegation was Keqing, the Jade Balance Star, since the visitors were newly appointed Great Sages and could not be neglected in terms of etiquette.

The delegation from the Winter Solstice was even more impressive. Liyue sent Yelan to receive them, and later, people from the other three kingdoms' delegations also went to offer their greetings.

If the young master and his servants hadn't arrived quickly, the delegation would likely have faced unimaginable pressure by winter.

This also shows how important status and position are on the continent of Teyvat.

"That's normal. That's just my personality. Let alone being a member of a god's family, even the identity of the next Thor is extremely troublesome to me."

Su Hao thought it was normal, because he wasn't the kind of person who particularly valued status.

If he truly valued his status, then when Barbatos, the god of winds, said he would pass the throne to him, he should have appeared very happy, instead of showing obvious disdain on his face.

Being a god means taking on a lot of responsibilities, and the time Su Hao spent as the acting grass god was the last thing he wanted to remember.

God knows how he got through those days.

"~~~"

Ningguang smiled lightly, it was the first time she had ever seen someone who didn't care about being a member of the gods' family and the next Thunder God.

While talking to Su Hao, Ningguang felt that her mental fatigue had significantly dissipated.

Ningguang then gave Su Hao a few more instructions regarding the Immortal Invitation Ceremony the next day.

After speaking, Ningguang asked Su Hao if he wanted to stay at Qunyu Pavilion, since there was a room exclusively for Su Hao in Qunyu Pavilion.

The rich woman offered to let him stay overnight at her house, but Su Hao waved his hand, indicating that he should pass. If he didn't go home that night, Ella and Black Ella would probably come over.

Of course, besides Isla and Black Isla, Raiden Shin and Raiden Movie might also come, and that's no joke.

Since arriving in Liyue, Raiden and Raiden have been worried that Su Hao might be taken away by the people of Liyue. If he stays at Ningguang Jade Pavilion for one night, who knows what might happen.

Ningguang smiled and nodded at Su Hao's refusal, then offered to see him off.

And so, Su Hao and Ning Guang went to the next room, called Paimon, who was eating like crazy, and Yingmei, who was sitting there drinking tea obediently, and prepared to leave Qunyu Pavilion.

Along the way, Ningguang talked with Su Hao and the other two, but this time they did not discuss the situation of tomorrow's Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

Instead, they talked about all sorts of random things, such as what the Traveler had done in Liyue Harbor these past few days, and how Su Hao felt after becoming the acting Grass God.

The traveler responded with a smile, while Su Hao covered his face and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore; I'm too tired."

This filled the air with a cheerful atmosphere.

Soon, they arrived at the place below Qunyu Pavilion. Ningguang waved to Su Hao and the other two, indicating that she would meet them at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony the next day.

Su Hao nodded with a smile and looked at Ningguang, saying, "Take care to rest tonight and be in the best condition to welcome the Immortal Invitation Ceremony tomorrow."

Ningguang looked at Su Hao and nodded very seriously. She smiled and said, "Yes, I will. After all, I want to see the Emperor in the best possible condition."

No matter how tired you are in the past, everything will become easier once tomorrow comes.

Once the invocation ceremony is over, everything will become easier.

Even after Keqing held the Immortal Invocation Ceremony last year, she immediately threw herself into various matters concerning the human and immortal era.

Although she kept saying she was busy, the pressure at work was noticeably reduced.

"Keep it up." Su Hao knew what would happen tomorrow, so all he could reply was "keep it up."

Finally, Su Hao, Ying, and Paimon left Qunyu Pavilion, leaving Ningguang alone standing on the pavilion, feeling the wind and gazing at the moon in the sky.

On the way back, everything was safe and sound, and Su Hao and his two companions successfully returned home.

Mona has not yet woken up, but Ella, Black Ella, and Coral Palace Heart Sea have returned.

Su Hao briefly recounted his experiences at the Qunyu Pavilion to everyone.

No one was surprised by this, and Coral Palace Xin Hai praised Ning Guang's wisdom and decisiveness.

Hisaki Shinobu, on the other hand, said that Ningguang was not a pedantic person. It would be abnormal if she knew that the Fools were going to do something big but did not stop them.

Ella and Black Ella remained calm, asking Su Hao when he would go to bed and if he was hungry, and whether they wanted them to make him noodles or cook for him.

Su Hao said he wasn't hungry, and that the Immortal Invitation Ceremony was tomorrow, so he should get some rest tonight.

As Liyue's annual major event, tomorrow will be the most exciting day, with various delicacies, rare materials, performances, and more taking place.

Of course, these activities will stop at noon when the Rock King Emperor appears.

Well, to put it simply, the activities will be suspended, and then we will listen to the Rock King Emperor speak. Once he has finished speaking, the other activities will resume.

After a day of playing and exploring, everyone felt a bit tired, so after exchanging a few words, they went back to their rooms to rest.

"Is the 'Guizhong Ruoduo' machine ready?"

Back in his room, Su Hao asked Ella and Black Ella if the Ruoduo machine made by Gui Zhong was ready.

“Almost there,” Ella said calmly.

Black Ella continued, "Actually, it's quite a bit lacking. Due to insufficient energy, the Roto Machine can only exert the combat power of a normal demon god."

"However, its overall strength is somewhat stronger than that of Guizhong. It's just that if the energy problem isn't solved, Ruotuo Machine can only operate for three minutes."

Upon hearing "three minutes," Su Hao couldn't help but think to himself, "What Ultraman?"

This is quite normal, as Su Hao is very clear about how terrifying the Demon God's combat power is.

When he first entered the realm of demons, he could feel that a full-force attack from him could severely injure him before he even stepped into the realm of demons.

Although it may sound a bit cryptic, the truth is indeed that terrifying.

Look at how arrogant the soldier became after entering the Demon God's Domain. Even though he couldn't beat Su Hao, anyone could sense the confidence emanating from him.

This is quite normal. The high-end combat power on the continent of Teyvat is generally that of the Demon Gods. Once they reach the Demon God realm, everyone will become arrogant.

However, reaching the Demon God's Realm is extremely difficult. He relied on the chat group, while Ella relied on Black Ella and daily check-in items to break through to the Demon God's Realm.

Simply put, Ella broke through to the Demon God realm by exploiting a bug.

Therefore, the issue of the energy of the Ratna machine is indeed a rather serious problem.

"Is that so? Well, it's a miracle that it can even move." Su Hao didn't think too much about it; it was already a miracle that Ruoduo could move at all.

We can solve the energy problem later when the opportunity arises. Whether it's Gui Zhong or Liu Yun Borrowing the Wind True Lord, they are both inventors.

Give them some time, and they might be able to invent an energy source that allows the Rota machine to operate for even longer.
