Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Ningguang didn't notice anything unusual about Su Hao, or rather, she had no time to care about such things.

She couldn't possibly doubt Su Hao; her mind was in turmoil as she stared at the Emperor's corpse.

She had thought that the Emperor's departure was a long time coming, but now the Emperor suddenly appeared in front of her, which she couldn't accept at all, and her mind even went blank for a moment.

Although Ningguang managed to control the crowd and temporarily suppress the panic in an instant, this year's Summoning Ceremony was too grand, so grand that the entire Liyue and other countries were watching it closely.

What should I do? What should I do now? Are there any ways to remedy this situation?

How do we explain this from the perspective of the immortals? How did the Fools manage to do this?

No, the Fools' every move is under their surveillance.

If it wasn't the Fools, then who did it? Who could kill the Emperor?

Ningguang was in a complete mess, her mind racing, a far cry from the calm and collected demeanor she displayed in the original story.

Looking at Ningguang's constantly changing expression, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, even a woman like Ningguang would be thrown into chaos when faced with such an unexpected situation.

If the deity you respect and believe in suddenly dies in front of you, anyone would feel panic and confusion.

Ningguang's ability to think calmly about things now already demonstrates her exceptional capabilities.

"Lord Ningguang..."

A Qianyan Army officer walked over. He looked at the dead Emperor on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief and sorrow, but he still said very seriously, "What should we do next?"

"This is not a solution at all. We can't control many of them. There are too many people being invited to the Immortal Ceremony. The brothers simply can't manage them all."

Ningguang had to make a decision; the current situation couldn't be resolved by delaying.

We can temporarily control everyone at Yujingtai, but what about outside Yujingtai?

The people of Liyue Harbor were all wondering what was going on, since the Geo Archon would usually be giving a speech at this time of year.

They've even started publicly praising and criticizing businesses this year, and offering their opinions on various policies.

"Hoo." Ningguang took a deep breath and looked at the Qianyan Army officer in front of her very seriously. She said, "Keep the Yujingtai area sealed off. Then pass on the message that the Emperor has passed away. We are investigating the specific reasons."

"Regarding the Imperial Arms and the Immortal Body, I will hide it away with Su Hao. As for other matters... we will discuss them after the Seven Stars meeting."

Yes, that's all Ningguang can do. Although she doesn't know exactly what happened, the Emperor's immortal body must be preserved, and the news must be released.

As for other matters, Ningguang cannot make decisions on her own; she must consult with the other seven stars to make a decision.

The incident happened so unexpectedly and suddenly that this was all she could do.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the Qianyan Army officer immediately dispatched men to continue controlling the people of Yujingtai, and then sent word out.

"Om-!!"

Ningguang used her rock elemental power to lift up the [Rock King Emperor]'s immortal body, and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Could you please escort me?"

Ningguang can only rely on Su Hao right now, as he is the only one present with god-level combat power.

The enemy killed the Emperor using unknown means, and currently only Su Hao is likely to be able to discover some clues. Coupled with his formidable strength, having him protect you would significantly increase your safety.

And... Ningguang really needs a reliable entity to rely on right now.

“No problem.” Su Hao nodded seriously, then he drew the Seven Thunders of Purification and looked at Ning Guang, saying, “You just hold the Emperor. If any enemies come, I will kill them with one strike.”

“Okay.” Ningguang nodded seriously. She glanced at the Jade Pavilion in the sky, then used her rock elemental power to support the Emperor’s immortal body and accelerated towards a certain place.

The movements at Qunyu Pavilion are too large; if they act rashly, they are very likely to be discovered by the enemy.

We must act discreetly for now. With Su Hao around, our safety is at least guaranteed, and there's no need to bring the Thousand Rock Army with us.

Ningguang and Su Hao quickly left Yujingtai, while Qianyanjun took charge of maintaining order at the scene and first brought the Yujingtai personnel under control.

They were very polite to the other diplomatic missions besides the Winter Solstice Mission, hoping they would understand.

Qin, Yae no Miko, and Falusan expressed their understanding and said they would cooperate with the work.

At the same time, news of the Emperor's passing spread from Yujingtai. Most people didn't believe it at first, completely unprepared for such a thing to happen.

Cries and wails echoed throughout Liyue Harbor, and some pessimistic and desperate individuals even wanted to accompany the Emperor in his departure.

Some people think that the Emperor did not pass away; he was probably just too tired and took a nap.

The so-called passing away was nothing but a lie fabricated by Ningguang. The Emperor may have been seriously injured, but he could not possibly be dead!

Rumors spread like wildfire in Liyue Harbor, with everyone having their own version of events, but they all shared one thing in common: the Emperor could not possibly have died like that.

As for whether the Liyue Seven Stars seized power, that's a joke—everyone thinks it's impossible!

Keep in mind that the Emperor has voluntarily relinquished power to the Seven Stars of Liyue, and this year is still the first year of the era of humans and immortals.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that the Seven Stars of Liyue could not possibly rebel, and... no one believes that the Seven Stars of Liyue have the ability to kill the Emperor.

In any case, Liyue Harbor is currently in complete chaos.

Inside the teahouse, Zhongli silently sipped his tea, observing all the activities below, knowing that the plan had begun.

"To be honest, isn't this a bit too much?"

Venti was right next to him. He casually picked up some tea and snacks from the table and put them in his mouth. As he ate, he mumbled, "Liyue Harbor is in complete chaos right now."

"You, the Rock King Emperor, haven't shown any reaction at all, and when did you learn this move?"

Wendy just witnessed Zhongli sitting here doing nothing, and then the Rock King Emperor on the Jade Capital Terrace landed on the ground with a thud.

How was this done? Wendy was very curious! And that [Rock King] was indeed very, very realistic, judging from the group live stream.

If a grander scene were added, the effect would definitely be even more amazing.

And... this is too fake. The death of a real demon god is not like this.

I believe that Nagarjuna has already seen through something, and that Fushe has also seen through something.

Those who have experienced a true war between demons and gods know what happens after a demon dies. Even if a demon dies willingly, it will cause massive environmental damage.

At the very least, if Morax had died in Liyue Harbor, the power he unleashed after his death would have been more than enough to destroy the entire harbor.

"It's nothing, just prepare the body in advance and then throw it in."

Zhongli explained calmly. He took a sip of tea, looked at Ningguang in the live stream, and said with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Indeed, the current Tianquan is even more outstanding than I imagined."

"Such a swift response, and the fact that you've hidden my body, I must say, the young master must be quite worried."

In Zhongli's original plan, after his death, Tartaglia would immediately summon the Vortex Demon God Oser, and then the people of Liyue Harbor would disregard their grief and the Seven Stars and the Celestials would unite to fight the enemy.

But now, Ningguang has hidden the corpse of the Rock King Emperor and immediately trusted Su Hao.

Zhongli found this quite remarkable, because, given the current situation, the only person suspected of taking action within Liyue Harbor was Su Hao.

The opponent has entered the realm of the Demon Gods and is currently the only person in Liyue Harbor who has the potential to kill the Geo Archon.

However, Ningguang did not doubt Su Hao at all, but chose to trust him, which Zhongli found very rare.

But in that case, the plan seems to be going in an unexpected direction.

"Are you going to take action?"

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Zhongli and asked, "Since the plan has changed, shouldn't he take action to make repairs now?"

Lei Dian Zhen also looked at Zhong Li. In this situation, if he didn't intervene, the Fools would probably be in a very difficult position.

After all... now the Fools are like mud falling into their crotch, even if they're not shit, they're still shit.

“No.” Zhongli shook his head. He looked down at Liyue Harbor and said in a very calm tone, “Let the young master and his servants have a headache. I signed a contract with them. If they can’t even complete this little thing, then the contract is void.”

Zhongli is a very rigid person. He wrote the Heart of God into the contract so that the Fatui would perform well and help him to reform Liyue.

If they can't even do this, then they can forget about getting the Heart of God.

If he has to do everything, then what's the point of having a foolish crowd?

"Speaking of this."

Lei looked at Zhong Li and said, "Morax, do you really intend to hand over the Heart of God to the Fools?"

Knowing about the Ice Queen's plan, Lei Movie's attitude towards the Heart of God was indifferent, and ultimately, it didn't matter who had it.

Since the Heavenly Principles have been asleep, they all know more or less what happened, and the Ice Queen's actions, although somewhat rebellious.

Ke Lei Movies secretly agreed, otherwise, when she attacked Zhi Dong, it wouldn't have been enough to quell her anger by killing a few doctor slices.

After Lei said that, Wendy, Raiden Shin, the Great Tree King, and Nasita all turned their attention to Zhongli.

"…………"

Zhongli paused for a moment, not looking at the gods, but slowly said, "Who knows?"

Clearly, Zhongli did not intend to answer this, because he had his own ideas, but he did not intend to break the contract.

As the God of Contracts, Zhongli has his own principles, so he put the Heart of God on it to make the Fools do their best. If they succeed, he will naturally hand over the Heart of God.

Whether the Heart of God can actually reach the Ice Queen is unclear to Zhongli. As Liyue once said...

Once the goods have left the store, they cannot be returned or exchanged!

What happened on the road, and what does it have to do with him?

"I see." Wendy seemed to have realized something and smiled.

“You’re not an old man either, Morax,” Raiden teased Zhongli.

The Great Tree King smiled but said nothing. After a thousand years, Morax had also turned bad.

Nasita was pondering what it meant by "goods are not returnable once they leave the store".

Up in the teahouse, the deities were chatting happily.

On the other side, near the Abyss of the Rocks, Tartaglia was surrounded by Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Ye Lan.

In fact, it wasn't just the three women; there were also a hundred Thousand Rock Army soldiers and more than a dozen sorcerers.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this really necessary? I just went out to collect a debt!" D'Artagnan looked at the group with utter helplessness and sighed, "What law have I broken?"

"You actually went to such lengths to come here???"

At this moment, Dadalia raised his hands in surrender; he couldn't defeat this force!

At this moment, D'Artagnan still harbored some psychological trauma towards the hundred Thousand Rock Army soldiers and the dozen or so sorcerers, because of what happened in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

He was almost overwhelmed by this lineup. Sometimes you really can't underestimate Liyue's elite troops; they can really surround and kill you.
