Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Zhongli nodded slightly, and said patiently, "The Rock God has many titles: God of Contracts, God of Commerce, God of War, Morax, Rock King... and naturally, 'Immortal' is also included."

“In previous years, a grand memorial ceremony was held when each immortal departed. This is a tradition of Liyue, the Immortal Farewell Ceremony.”

"In other words, the Sending-Off Ceremony is a final farewell ceremony for the immortals."

Paimon seemed to understand, but the others completely grasped what the Immortal Sending Ceremony was all about.

At this point, Zhongli looked at the distant Qunyu Pavilion and slowly said, "If nothing unexpected happens, then the Seven Stars of Liyue should also issue their announcement next."

"The ceremony to send off the immortals is of great importance. Since the young master has provided the funds, the Hall of Rebirth will also take action."

Zhongli was very serious. He felt that if nothing unexpected happened, the Liyue Seven Stars would approve the traditional ceremony of the Sending-Off Ceremony, and then he would begin his own Sending-Off Ceremony.

Hu Tao crossed her arms and looked at Zhong Li teasingly, "This is the first time I've seen you so concerned about this matter. It seems that even you would be enthusiastic about the death of the Rock King Emperor."

"However, this matter is indeed worth taking seriously. This is an incredibly important task, and I, the head of this hall, will naturally handle it flawlessly!"

Hu Tao also attaches great importance to the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony," as it has not been held for a long time since the last immortal passed away.

This has been so long that the people of Liyue have almost forgotten about it.

“Yes, what the hall master says is absolutely right.” Zhongli nodded slightly, agreeing with Hu Tao’s words, and then looked at everyone.

"........."

Mona, meeting Zhongli's gaze, naturally felt a little guilty and dared not meet his eyes.

Ying remained calm and met Zhongli's gaze.

Then Zhongli looked at Su Hao and said, "Su Hao, may I speak to you in private?"

"No problem." Su Hao nodded, feeling that Zhong Li must have something to say to him.

And so, Su Hao and Zhong Li walked off to the other side, leaving Hu Tao and the others behind.

After arriving at a secluded place, Zhongli looked at Su Hao and said slowly, "The plan may have changed."

"Huh?" Su Hao looked at Zhong Li with some confusion, wondering why she said there were variables.

Looking at the current situation, isn't it going quite well? Everything is proceeding according to the original script.

Tartaglia provided funds to the Hall of Rebirth, covering all the expenses for the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony." The Seven Stars of Liyue also took action, beginning to take on the rights and responsibilities that the Emperor originally possessed.

Simply put, Liyue is currently developing in the direction Zhongli envisioned, so what changes could possibly occur?

“Ruo Tuo probably won’t make an appearance,” Zhong Li said, looking towards the direction of the Fulong Tree. He added with a touch of melancholy, “Perhaps my death was too fake.”

“Even Rota has already realized it. He might think that I am not dead, so if Osel appears, he will eventually pilot that so-called Rota machine to stop me.”

“After being sealed for many years, Oser is no longer a peak-level demon god, so Ruoduoji can naturally suppress him.”

"But the eight dragons that follow present a problem."

Zhongli was deeply moved, realizing that his death was far too fake, which was immediately apparent to Ruoduo Dragon King and Fushe in the chat group.

They even understood their own "plan" and began to provide cover.

When Ruoduo called him away, it was most likely because he wanted to know about Ruoduo's plans.

Gui Zhong will definitely reveal some plans, and whether Ruo Tuo Dragon King will break free from the seal at that time remains to be seen.

In short, the fate of the Naga King Rota has become uncertain again.

Previously, because he was worried that Oser wouldn't be enough to fight Rota, Zhongli specially provided the position of Ba Qiu to D'Artagnan.

As a result, on the day of the Summoning Ceremony, the Dragon King Ruoduo might not break free from his seal again. Without his combat power, Liyue Harbor is indeed in some danger.

"You want me to make a move ahead of time?"

Su Hao understood Zhong Li's meaning: did Zhong Li want him to make a move ahead of time to deal with Ausel and Ba Qiu?

The Ruoduo machine created by Guizhong can only be used for three minutes now. Even if she improves it now, it will only last for five to seven minutes at most.

In other words, if Ruo Tuo Long Wang does not make a move within these five to seven minutes, then Su Hao will have to quickly step in and start fighting against Ba Qiu or Ao Sai Er.

Just thinking about it carefully made Su Hao's fighting spirit surge, his hands itching unbearably! He longed to fight!!!

“Yes.” Zhongli nodded. That was exactly what he meant; after all, it was important to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

He wasn't sure if the Dragon King Ruoduo would break free of his seal, because as an old comrade-in-arms, he knew very well that Ruoduo could be a bit stubborn at times.

For example, right now, in chat groups, there are more or less people who know they are Morax.

Even Fushe probably figured something out, since some ways of speaking are impossible to change, and Zhongli hadn't even thought about changing them.

In the end, only Ruoduo still thought of himself as Mr. Zhongli of the Rebirth Hall, which is truly lamentable.

"What did the servants say?" Su Hao didn't care about D'Artagnan; the other party was now resorting to any means necessary for the [mission].

D'Artagnan was clearly arranged by Zhongli, but his servant Arecino was different; she clearly had her own ideas.

"It's alright. I signed a contract with her, and she is trustworthy until the contract is completed."

Zhongli remained calm about this. Arecino dared not break the contract, and if she did, he would teach her a lesson.

However, someone as intelligent as Arecino would certainly not break the contract, so Zhongli trusted her completely.

She was as intelligent as the lady, but the only difference was that the lady was too arrogant, while the servant was very calm and did everything with exceptional elegance.

But the servant was just as capable as the lady; she knew very well what she should and shouldn't do.

After mentioning the "contract," Zhongli suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Hao, slowly saying, "Speaking of this, it concerns the end of the contract with the Fools..."

Su Hao was somewhat surprised, but in the end he nodded slightly, though his expression was rather subtle as he looked at Zhong Li.

It's as if it's saying, "You with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you've gone astray too."

After exchanging a few simple words, Su Hao and Zhong Li left the secluded spot and reunited with Hu Tao and the others.

Meanwhile, under the Fulong Tree on the other side.

The Dragon King Ruoduo is currently enshrined in his seal, awaiting the arrival of his guests.

"Rodha, I'm coming in!"

As a vibrant voice rang out, Gui Zhong's figure appeared beneath the Fulong Tree. She looked at the Ruo Tuo Dragon King, whose body was as large as a small mountain, and chuckled, "It seems you're in much better spirits."

"What do you mean? Why did you call me here? Do you want to see the special Rota machine I made?"

“My Rota Machine is much bigger than yours now.”

Right now, the Naga King of Ratna is the size of a small mountain, but it is very, very small.

Because of the seal, the Dragon King Ruoduo's strength and size were both limited.

Thanks to the chat group, King Ratna's strength is slowly recovering, and his rationality has fully returned, but he is still consciously maintaining his current physical form.

It's better to be smaller; if it's too big, it might break the seal.

"Heh~" King Ruo Tuo let out a laugh that was hard to understand. He opened his eyes and looked at Gui Zhong, saying in a loud voice, "Gui Zhong, your Ruo Tuo machine is not very good at all. I don't even want to look at it."

"If you can keep him mobile at all times, then I'll be interested in taking a look. If he's just for show, then don't bother showing him."

Through the chat group, King Ruoduo also learned that Ruoduoji, who had returned to the end, was in an awkward situation of insufficient energy.

Because of insufficient energy, the Ruoduo machine can only operate for a short time; it possesses the fighting power of a demon god, but only for a short while.

But what can a demon do in such a short time? Not even enough time to yawn.

"Hmph!!!" Gui Zhong was fuming, but she didn't argue, because that was the truth.

She had Ayla, who was a fusion of Ayla and Black Ayla, fight against Roto Machine, and the final result was extremely tragic.

Simply put, Ayla and Roto were evenly matched at the beginning, but once Roto ran out of energy, Ayla could dismantle him with her bare hands.

Even if Ruoduoji could unleash the power of a demon god, he would still be far inferior to a true demon god.

Even if you have enough energy, you'll still be destroyed in the end if you fight someone like [Ella].

Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Teyvat continent has its limits. If we want to increase the power of the Rota Machine, we'll have to look outside the world.

"By the way, why did you call me over?" Gui Zhong didn't want to discuss Ruo Tuoji anymore, because she knew Ruo Tuo had something to ask her.

As for what it was, Gui Zhong probably guessed it.

"Is Morax planning something big?" King Ruoduo asked directly. He could tell at a glance that the dead [Rock King] was not Morax.

This is so fake. Anyone who knows Morax's strength and is familiar with his existence can recognize it.

That death was so fake! It could fool ordinary people, but how could it fool them?

"Mm." Gui nodded, not intending to hide anything, since they were all old friends, how could she hide it?

Trying to get away with it is simply impossible; since that's the case, it's better to be open and honest about it.

"As expected." After receiving confirmation from Gui Zhong, King Ruo Tuo also smiled. He said with certainty, "Morax is probably thinking of retiring."

"Although what Barbatos did was subtle, it has to be admitted that he was indeed thousands of years ahead of everyone else."

In the chat group, King Nagata often saw King Mahamati Tree and Thunder God discussing their retirement.

Clearly, they no longer wanted to be the rulers of the Seven Earthly Sovereigns, as they were indeed somewhat tired of it, even though they might have felt a bit excited at first.

But as thousands of years have passed, even a god would not be able to withstand such a situation.

Morax probably wants to retire now, which is why he made this move at the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, coupled with the arrival of the era of humans and immortals.

So it's reasonable for [Rock King Emperor] to retire. As for why he had to fall to his death with a "thud" instead of retiring peacefully, that's a different story.

King Ratna was unaware of this, but Morax definitely had his reasons for doing so, so he didn't bother to care.

As long as we confirm this point regarding the ultimate outcome, then there will be no problem.

Hmph! King Ruotu is no fool! Could such a petty trick fool him?

“I would like to be the next Geo God, but Morax won’t allow it.” Gui Zhong shrugged, somewhat helplessly saying, “They say the Geo God of the Human and Immortal era should be a human.”

"I think Su Hao was already chosen. What a biased man."

King Ruo Tuo looked at Gui Zhong with a smile and said, "If you really had to choose, would you choose to travel around with Morax or become the new Rock God and deal with a whole bunch of miscellaneous things?"

Gui was silenced by Ruoduo Longwang's words. Compared to the position of Rock God, she would rather travel around with Morax.

Seeing how quickly these little ones have grown up and no longer need their help, I still feel a bit emotional.

Her memory was still stuck in the era of the war between demons and gods thousands of years ago, when these tiny people needed them to work together to take care of them in order to survive.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a chat group, where she saw a completely new Liyue Harbor, where the people she once knew had grown up.
