Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"Shua——!!!"

A pale golden beam of energy shot straight into the sky, signaling the official start of the invocation ceremony.

The sky above Liyue Harbor suddenly became turbulent with wind and clouds.

Then, a huge vortex slowly appeared in the sky.

“Rumble——!!!”

But at that moment, thunder suddenly rang out, as if foreshadowing something, and the golden dragon quickly descended from the sky.

Yes, the Rock King did not emerge slowly as in previous years, but fell rapidly from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

Dust billowed up, and the offerings placed around the area were blasted away by the force.

The incense burner, the magical artifact responsible for summoning the Rock King Emperor, suffered the same fate, rolling rapidly to the side.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ningguang stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered. She looked at the motionless, wide-eyed [Dragon Corpse], and her body began to tremble.

This wasn't part of her plan, so what's going on here?!

The Emperor... the Emperor has been murdered?!

"The Emperor has been murdered!!! Seal off the entire area!!!!" Although Ningguang was shocked, she still decisively gave the order, shouting to the surrounding Thousand Rock Army soldiers, "All personnel present! No one is allowed to leave this area!!!"

Chapter 441 D'Artagnan: "I killed Morax?"

"The Emperor has been murdered!!! The entire area is sealed off!!!!"

"All personnel present! Do not leave this area!!!"

The situation was extremely unusual. The sudden appearance of the Rock King Emperor was clearly beyond Ningguang's plans, but she still decisively issued a blockade order.

First, control all people present; we can deal with other matters later.

Fortunately, apart from preventing the fools from causing trouble, there are more Thousand Rock Army soldiers here than ever before.

Upon receiving the order, the Thousand Rock Army acted decisively, first taking control of the people inside the Jade Capital Terrace, while those outside the Jade Capital Terrace were still unaware of what had happened.

But many people turned pale when they heard the words "The Lord of Rock was murdered." Who was the Lord of Rock?! He was a god who had protected Liyue for countless years.

How could he possibly be murdered?! Who has the right to kill him?!

"this?!"

The members of the Winter Delegation, sitting in the front row, stared blankly at the dragon corpse of the Rock King Emperor, lost in thought for a moment.

Is the Executor really that fierce?! He actually took down the [Rock King Emperor]?

Yes, when the members of the Winter Solstice Mission saw the dragon corpse of the Rock King, their first thought was that it was the work of their own executor.

After all, the Winter's Delegation was well aware of how powerful their Executor was, and in addition, it seemed that the Prince and his servant were planning to do whatever they wanted in Liyue recently.

Therefore, the members of the Winter Mission naturally and subconsciously felt that they were the ones who did it.

Of course, everyone else thought the same way, so the Thousand Rock Army immediately took them into custody.

"W-what's going on?!"

Paimon was completely stunned by what she saw. The Rock King Emperor was dead?! This was something she hadn't expected at all.

She was still discussing with Hu Tao what to eat for dinner, but now that [Rock King Emperor] has collapsed in front of her with a thud, what's the point of eating now?!

"I don't know." Ying was also shocked by this scene and had no idea what was going on, but she immediately turned her attention to the chat group.

She knew very well that Mr. Zhongli was the Rock King Emperor, so she was checking on Mr. Zhongli's condition.

Seeing that Mr. Zhongli was still chatting, Ying breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what the point of Mr. Zhongli's actions was.

Does this cause panic among the people of Liyue? Ying could clearly sense that although the Thousand Rock Army soldiers had brought them under control immediately, their gazes couldn't help but drift towards the [Geo King] in the center.

Clearly, these incredibly brave soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army were suffering an unimaginable blow to their hearts at this moment.

That makes sense; anyone would be incredibly shocked to see their own god die right before their eyes.

The chat group members who were unaware that Zhongli was the Rock King Emperor were now extremely shocked and completely baffled as to what had happened.

"This is a big deal."

"Yae no Miko murmured to herself, looking at the Rock King Emperor in front of her who was radiating divine pressure. This was a genuine god."

As the being closest to the Thunder God, Yae no Miko can be said to understand the god better than anyone else present.

Looking at the dead Rock King Emperor before her, she didn't think it could be faked at all, but she had a strange feeling in her heart.

That is, both Raiden Shin and Raiden Movie expressed their admiration for the power of [Rock King Emperor], and even believed that he was the most powerful being in the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World.

But why would such a powerful god suddenly die like this?

Yae no Miko felt very strange. Her intuition told her that the body in front of her was indeed the corpse of the Rock King Emperor, but her reason told her that such a powerful god as the Rock King Emperor could not have died so peacefully.

Not only Yae no Miko, but the people on Inazuma's side were also shocked. Kujo Sara looked at the corpse of the Rock King Emperor in front of her and felt a little fear.

Because she was thinking about how desperate she would feel if the general were the one who fell in front of her.

Goro's tail stood up, and the divine pressure was still there. His intuition told him that this was a genuine divine corpse, just like the sea god Ōmikami.

Ayaka Kamisato never expected that such a shocking thing would happen during her trip to Liyue.

The Mondstadt delegation was equally shocked.

"This is getting complicated." Qin looked at the corpse of the Rock King Emperor not far away and muttered to herself, "Could this be the Fools' conspiracy?"

In Mondstadt, the Fatui have a history of such actions; they attempted to harm Barbatos, the god of wind, but failed because of Su Hao.

So now that the Rock King has run into trouble, Qin immediately thought of the Fatui. Was it them who were behind this?

“If that’s the case, things will become quite terrifying.” Kaeya’s expression turned grave, no longer as calm as before.

Anyone with power could feel the divine pressure emanating from the corpses ahead. Although Kaiya had never been in contact with gods, Su Hao was equivalent to a god.

Su Hao also had a similar aura, so Kaiya's expression was very solemn. He had thought that this invitation ceremony was just an ordinary relaxing activity.

Now things are getting complicated and terrifying.

“Yes.” Yura’s expression was equally solemn. She really wanted to go and help, but given the current situation, it was impossible for anyone other than a Liyue person to get involved.

Although Liyue and Mondstadt are allies, the passing of a god is not something anyone can interfere with.

“Hmm.” Abedo nodded seriously, but as someone who knew the true identity of the Rock King Emperor, he glanced at the chat group.

Well, Zhongli is fine, so this situation was most likely staged by himself.

"This...this..." This was the first time Klee had ever seen a god's corpse. A hint of nervousness appeared on her cute little face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The Sumeru delegation next door was devastated. The Great Sage Farusan almost fainted when she saw the corpse of the Rock King Emperor.

Because she knew that she would probably have to stay in Liyue for a very long time to come.

If the mystery of the death of the Geo Archon remains unsolved, cooperation with Liyue will likely be affected, and the Mora gained from subsequent collaborations will likely decrease.

In addition, with a host of matters currently at the Faith Council, Farusan, as a great sage, must quickly find a way to resolve these issues before returning to Sumeru.

Because the later she returned, the more things there were to do in the academy.

Thinking about this, Farusan was quite devastated, but she shared the same thoughts as everyone else about who killed the Rock King.

That's it! This was absolutely the work of the Fools!! No one on the continent of Teyvat could be so audacious as to do this!!!

The fact that the Sumeru Fools and the Church Council jointly carried out the "God-Making Project" shows that they have lost their reverence for the gods.

Since they dared to carry out the "God-Making Plan," then assassinating a god is not such a big deal.

Seno pursed his lips slightly, seemingly lost in thought. He was pondering how the Fools managed to kill the Rock King.

How did they manage to do that in front of everyone?

Su Hao didn't seem to notice anything amiss either, otherwise he wouldn't have been standing there blankly.

Has an even more powerful being made its move?

Although Seno wasn't particularly active in the group, he was very attentive to chatting in the group, except when he was playing the Seven Saints Summoning event.

Simply put, he's not active in speaking up and is the number one snooper!

"good chance."

Elhesen whispered, gazing at the dead [Rock King Emperor] before him, and rationally analyzed, "The passing of the Rock King Emperor is an opportunity for us."

"The most suspicious group right now is the Fatui. If we can find the culprit or some clues, it will be helpful to Liyue."

"This is very helpful for the upcoming cooperation plan, and I am also very interested in how the Fools managed to do it."

"And...whether it was actually the work of the Fools is also something worth considering."

Al-Hysen proposed another conclusion: that this might not have been the work of the Fools.

He felt that with Liyue Harbor placing such a high priority on them, the Fatui would be closely watched and would be unable to make any moves, no matter what they wanted to do.

Even under these circumstances, the Fools still succeeded. So, who was it that did it?

Or is there another force? For example... the Abyss Order.

In Sumeru, the Abyss Order was not particularly active, but Elhesen knew about their activities, so he suspected them.

"Let's discuss this later," Farusan interrupted Elhesen. The other party's idea was good, but the occasion wasn't right. They could discuss it back home.

The delegations from various countries were buzzing with discussion, while the other Liyue officials and merchants felt as if the sky had fallen, completely clueless about what was happening.

This is Lord Yan! How could he be dead?!

Today is supposed to be the ceremony to invite the immortals, the first year of the era of humans and immortals. Didn't Lord Yan say he had found a successor? Why did he suddenly die?

Did he foresee this all along?!

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and many people fainted because they couldn't accept the reality.

At the forefront, Su Hao and Ning Guang looked at the corpse of the Rock King Emperor and fell into a brief silence.

Su Hao arrived in front of the corpse of the Rock King Emperor. He placed his hand on it, pretended to sense it for a while, and finally looked at Ning Guang's pale face and slowly said, "There is no trace of life."

"The Emperor has passed away, and I found no wounds on his body. I have no idea what caused his death."

Su Hao spoke in a serious tone, while his face showed expressions of shock and disbelief, as if to say, "How is this possible? It's completely illogical."
