[Nasita: "It was the same when the Great Tree King passed away."]

[Keqing: "No matter what, we must clean up the scene as soon as possible. Although the Emperor has passed away, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I must shoulder this responsibility!!!"]

[Ke Qing: "Furthermore, if any unexpected situations arise, I'm afraid I'll need your help."]

[Sino: "No problem, I'll handle things with Elhesen and Farusan."]

[Yae no Miko: "Inazuma will do everything in his power to assist."]

[Yura: "Mondstadt, never mind. Actually, I didn't need to say anything. Captain Jean is already preparing to assist the Thousand Rock Army in managing the situation."]

Klee: "Brother Kaeya stopped Jean, saying that we can't intervene in the current situation."

[Abedo: "That's indeed the case. We can only begin assisting Liyue after Su Hao and Ningguang finish dealing with the Celestial King's body, and after the Seven Stars finish their meeting."]

[Ke Qing: "I proposed this plan regarding the Seven Star Conference."]

[King Nagata: "Morax will be very pleased to see you like this."]

[Gui Zhong: "Yes, although it happened suddenly, I will do my best to build the Rota Machine to make up for the combat power gap left by Morax's absence."]

[Rahu King: "Since Morax isn't here, it's my turn. If anything unexpected happens, come find me."]

[Fu She: "Has the Emperor also passed away? Alas, @Ke Qing, there's no need to trouble Gui Zhong and Ruo Tuo. If you need anything, just go directly to Jin Peng."]

[Fu She: "Jin Peng will provide the greatest assistance to the Liyue Seven Stars within the scope of his duties."]

Ke Qing: "Yes, I understand."

[Rotuo Dragon King: "@Su Hao, please turn off the group live stream first. Everyone needs a bit more time."]

Su Hao: "Okay, no problem."

[Nagarjuna: "@Guizhong, come to the Nagarjuna Tree. I have something I'd like to ask you."]

[Gui Zhong: "Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."]

Upon seeing Ruo Tuo Long Wang's words, Su Hao also turned off the group live stream, and at the same time, he thought to himself, "What a seasoned veteran."

Don't tell him that Naga King Ratna and Fushe couldn't tell that Morax had faked his death; these two were beings who had experienced the war between the demon gods.

Naturally, they knew what kind of impact the death of the Demon God would have. Even if it was a final death, it would still have some impact on the ecology of Liyue at that time.

Therefore, both King Nagarjuna and Fusha were putting on an act, which can be sensed from Nagarjuna's last words.

He clearly knew that Morax was not dead, which is why he sent Guizhong to Fulongshu, obviously intending to find out information as soon as possible.

To see what Morax was up to, they called Gui Zhong over.

"Ugh."

Just as Su Hao was feeling quite pleased with himself, Ningguang sighed, her face filled with worry.

She was using her elemental power to drag Morax's fairy body towards southern Liyue.

Seeing the worry written all over Ningguang's face, Su Hao comforted her, "Things have come to this, so you don't need to think too much. You need to calm down and think about the future of Liyue."

"The Geo Archon has met with misfortune, and it will now be up to the Celestials and you humans to jointly govern Liyue."

"As the one who embodies the Heavenly Light, you can't be sighing and complaining now."

Su Hao encouraged Ningguang, telling her not to overthink things, just like Keqing, who, despite feeling shocked and sad, managed to suppress those emotions.

They immediately returned to Liyue Harbor and sought help from their group members in the chat group.

Keqing is a woman who knows how to use all her advantages. She is extremely capable and always takes the lead in everything.

However, Liyue Harbor is so large that it's impossible to rely solely on Keqing; the other seven stars must also return to their posts immediately.

Its condensation effect is extremely significant; as the star Tianquan, it is the head of the seven stars.

If she breaks down emotionally at this critical juncture, then Liyue Qixing will probably be in a lot of trouble right now.

However, Su Hao could understand Ningguang's current situation. In order to prepare for the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, she had been working day and night, enduring two months of hardship and suffering.

Just as Ningguang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the day arrived, the Rock King Emperor breathed his last.

This almost made Ningguang gasp for breath; it was a good thing she didn't faint on the spot.

Ningguang is definitely under much more pressure now than in the original storyline. At least the summoning ceremony in the original storyline wasn't as grand and bustling as it is now.

"Yes, I understand." Ningguang nodded slightly, knowing what Su Hao meant.

She sighed again, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and said, "But I still can't understand why a god as powerful as the Emperor would pass away."

"What will become of Liyue in the future? Although I have long known that even the lifespan of gods cannot be infinite."

"But at least... after I die, the Emperor will pass away."

Ningguang had long suspected that the Emperor's preparation for the era of humans and immortals was because he foresaw that he would not be able to stay with Liyue forever, and therefore he followed Keqing's words and abolished the era of immortals.

It established an era of humans and immortals.

But this day came too quickly, catching Ningguang completely off guard. She was not prepared at all when the Emperor was in trouble.

Su Hao held the Seven Thunders of Purification in one hand and looked at Ning Guang earnestly, saying, "Disaster never waits for people to be prepared before it strikes."

“Ningguang, you should know this very well. I know that even though you are sighing and complaining, you are still thinking about what to do next.”

"You will fulfill your duties and mission, after all, you are Tianquan Ningguang."

"But you can relax a little now, because with me here, it's not a bad thing to clear your mind for a while."

Su Hao's voice was very gentle. He told Ningguang not to think too much for the time being and that nothing would happen if she relaxed for a while.

Ningguang hasn't had a proper rest since the preparations for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony began; her mind is already stretched to the limit.

Su Hao was afraid that if Ningguang continued to be tense, something bad might happen, so he asked her to relax for a while.

Anyway, with him around, nothing will happen. If D'Artagnan arrives, seeing the Seven Thunders of Purification in his hand, he will immediately transform into the best toy seller of Winter.

Needless to say, Arecino wouldn't get involved in this matter at all. Even if she happened to pass by, she would pretend nothing had happened and leave.

Therefore, Liyue may seem to be fraught with danger, but in reality, nothing is happening at all.

As Ningguang listened to that gentle voice, the confusion in her eyes and the sorrow on her face faded somewhat.

"Yes, now I can relax a little." Ningguang's face broke into a smile again. It was unclear whether it was Su Hao's comforting words or her strong mental fortitude that allowed her to temporarily shake off this negative state.

Ningguang walked side by side with Su Hao, with the immortal body of the [Rock King Emperor] floating behind them.

Neither Ningguang nor Su Hao spoke; the two walked on in silence.

Even Su Hao could smell the fragrance emanating from Ningguang's body. It should be a special fragrance balm from Liyue, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should have been created by Ying'er.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that Su Hao could sense that Ning Guang, who was not speaking, was gradually recovering her mental state.

In this regard, Su Hao wanted to give a thumbs up to the Grass God inheritance. Although the Grass God inheritance was not very powerful, it was much better than the Rock God and Thunder God inheritances in other aspects.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Ningguang looked at the huge building in front of her and slowly said, "The Emperor's immortal body will be temporarily placed in the Golden House."

"The Golden House is heavily guarded. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the safest place besides Liyue Harbor."

Looking at the golden house ahead, Su Hao naturally knew what this place was—it was none other than Tartaglia's Zhouben!

Ah, no, it should be the only mint in all of Teyvat, where all Mora on the market is created.

On the surface, the Thousand Rock Army was guarding the Golden House again, and there were protective barriers both inside and outside the Golden House. In addition, there were even idle immortals secretly watching over it except in special circumstances.

Therefore, placing the Emperor's immortal body inside the Golden House can be considered very safe.

"Okay." Su Hao nodded seriously, then looked at Ning Guang and said, "Let's go in then."

“Yes, first we need to properly house the Emperor’s immortal body.” Ningguang led the Emperor’s immortal body toward the Golden House.

The Thousand Rock Army soldiers who remained there were shocked and incredulous when they saw the Emperor's immortal body. They had not received the news immediately and were unaware of the Emperor's passing.

After Su Hao and Ning Guang explained, the Thousand Rock Army soldiers also showed grief and sorrow on their faces, and then knelt on one knee to send off the Emperor in their own way.

Furthermore, Ningguang issued another order: from today onwards, the Golden House will be temporarily sealed off, and no one is allowed to leave the Golden House. The information about the Emperor's immortal body being here is also a top secret and must not be leaked!

Chapter 443 The Ceremony of Sending Off Immortals?

Inside the golden house.

Su Hao and Ning Guang worked together to seal the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor in the deepest part of the place and set up multiple layers of barriers there.

If anyone dares to steal a celestial body, both Ningguang and Su Hao will know immediately.

Of course, Su Hao knew that D'Artagnan would definitely come over, and he would be furious when he discovered that [Rock King Emperor] had faked his death.

When Tartaglia summons the Whirlpool Demon God Oser, even if Ningguang knows that something has happened at the Golden House, she will prioritize dealing with Oser.

We'll go check on the Golden House later.

This is the pain of knowing the dungeon in advance, Su Hao thought to himself as he waited for Ningguang to finish her conversation with the Thousand Rock Army officers before returning to Liyue Harbor.

Meanwhile, the Thousand Rock Army in this area also began patrolling very nervously. If there was any disturbance, they would probably go to check it out immediately.

"Next, the Seven Stars Conference will begin."

Ningguang left the Golden House with Su Hao. She gazed in the direction of Liyue Harbor and said in a very serious tone, "Although we don't know who the murderer of the Emperor is right now, we can be sure of one thing."

"Now that the Emperor has died, many things will fall on our shoulders for this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony."

"In other words, we Seven Stars have no time to grieve now; we must quickly finish dealing with the matters left behind by the Emperor."

Ningguang's goal was clear, and what she was going to do was something that most people wouldn't dare to even think about.

The Rock King Emperor has just died, and she, as the Heavenly Power Condensation Light, intends to seize the power and responsibilities that the Rock King Emperor once held. If ordinary people knew about this, it would be considered extremely rebellious.

But Su Hao, who had once served as the acting Grass God and witnessed the ritual of summoning immortals, knew that Ningguang's choice was very wise.

There was no time to grieve for the Emperor; the Seven Stars had to fill the void left by his death as quickly as possible.

The affairs of a nation are not so simple; other matters, big and small, can be handled by the Liyue Sept and their subordinates.

However, some major issues, such as amending laws and regulations, the general direction of Liyue, the achievements of the Human and Celestial Era within a year, and the upcoming retirement of the Seven Stars, as well as the possibility of finding a successor, are also important.

These matters are all managed by the Emperor, and they must be dealt with within a year.

But now that the Emperor is dead, these things can't just be left unresolved, can they?

If left to fester, Liyue Harbor will likely come to a standstill for some time to come.

One or two days is fine, but what if it's a month or three months?
