Over the past year, Gui Zhong has also walked through the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor, interacted with other cultivators, and learned a great deal.

Because of this, Gui Zhong's mindset also changed slightly, so she could understand why Morax chose to retire and unilaterally decided to hand over the next Rock God to [humans] to inherit.

Because human potential is limitless, and... Su Hao is indeed extremely outstanding.

Seeing that Gui Zhong remained silent, King Ruo Tuo continued to press, "Did Morax say he needed my help?"

According to the theory of the Dragon King Rota, only Gui Zhong and Morax in the entire Liyue region know that their wear and tear is being slowly healed.

Otherwise, how could Gui Zhong have found a loophole to break the seal for himself?

Given this, am I part of Morax's plan?

“Hmm… Morax said that.” Gui Zhong pondered and communicated with Zhong Li. She nodded slightly and looked at Ruo Tuo Dragon King, saying, “He said to act according to the situation. As for how things go, it’s up to you to judge.”

"Because he won't be playing next, but you can come out and stretch your muscles."

Upon hearing these words, a thoughtful glint flashed in the eyes of the Dragon King Ruoduo. "Act according to circumstances?" That's quite Morax's style.

Chapter 445 The Next Rock God? Me? ??

Time passed slowly, and the night was quite long. The Fatui were busy gathering intelligence, while the Liyue Sept were busy distributing the power and responsibilities left behind by the Emperor.

The weather in Liyue has changed, but people must continue to look forward. So, as tonight passes and the sunlight shines on the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor...

A new day has begun. Yesterday's summoning ceremony has come to a hasty end, and today, the people of Liyue Harbor, even while mourning the passing of the Geo Archon, must still attend to their own affairs.

Meanwhile, the General Affairs Department issued a notice stating that the Emperor had indeed passed away, and the Seven Stars were investigating the specific reasons.

Furthermore, the preparations for the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony" and other related tasks will be handled by Master Hu of the Rebirth Hall.

However, quite a few people passed away yesterday along with Lord Yan.

So... the business at the Rebirth Hall is booming today!

Yes, business is booming. A large number of people came to the entrance of the Rebirth Hall and began to request to see Master Hu and the staff of the Rebirth Hall.

None of the elderly members of their family survived last night, so they all need to see Master Hu to preside over the funeral and perform farewell rites for the deceased.

Therefore, after climbing over the wall to Su Hao's house in the morning and eating a few bites of steamed buns, Hu Tao had to climb back over the wall to Wangsheng Hall. After tidying up briefly, she opened the door to welcome guests.

And so, Hu Tao got busy, immediately handing over all the matters related to the [Sending Immortals Ceremony] to Zhong Li.

There was nothing she could do; so many people had passed away, she simply didn't have time to manage the "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony." Although there were many guest elders and staff in the Hall of Rebirth, none of them could compare to Zhongli.

So Hu Tao simply handed this task over to Zhong Li, letting him prepare the entire [Sending Immortals Ceremony].

Zhongli readily accepted this, offering no objections and even expressing his pleasure at the prospect.

After a simple breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Hisaki Shinobu said she would go help Yanfei. After last night, this senior sister will probably be busy too. Although the passing of the Rock King Emperor is a sad thing.

However, some criminals may think today is a good opportunity, so they have been taking action since last night.

Well, and then they ran right into the hands of the well-prepared Thousand Rock Army.

It wasn't just these criminals; there were also some who felt that with the death of the Rock Lord, a great calamity was bound to befall Liyue Harbor, so they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

However, he was also arrested by the Qianyan Army. Due to the special circumstances, he received special treatment. What could be explained in a sentence or two under normal circumstances was no longer acceptable.

Therefore, Yanfei was quite busy today, and Jiuqiren went over to help.

Today, Ella and Black Ella also went to assist Gui Zhong, helping her to adjust the Ruo Tuo machine, and also to see Senior Sister Shen He and True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng.

The others were fine; Shinkai didn't plan to visit Goro, and Mona, having temporarily lost her astrological abilities, didn't intend to act rashly.

Ying and Paimon were also unsure of what to do, so they decided to go out for a stroll.

It was at this time that Zhongli suggested that the Traveler and Paimon should go with him to purchase materials for the Immortal Offering Ritual.

Ying and Paimon were somewhat surprised, but since it was Zhongli who extended the invitation, they naturally agreed.

And so, everyone had their own things to do, and they all went their separate ways.

Su Hao looked at Mona and Coral Palace Xin Hai, who were packing their things, and said, "I'm going out for a stroll."

"Okay." Coral Palace Xin Hai was packing her things. She nodded slightly to Su Hao, then chuckled and said, "If anything happens, remember to contact us immediately."

Mona also peeked out from the kitchen and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Yes, if anything happens, remember to tell me immediately, even though I can't use astrology for the time being."

"But in special circumstances, I can still do a divination, even if I don't know if it will work, it's worth a try."

Yes, Mona can still perform another divination; she learned many secret techniques from the old woman.

Although using this secret technique when astrology is unavailable could potentially lead to unimaginable backlash, special circumstances should be treated specially.

Mona is grateful for Su Hao's generosity. He let her eat and drink for free for so long without accepting a single Mora from her. If he were to ask for anything, she would definitely agree.

"Don't worry." Su Hao smiled, indicating that it was fine; he was just going out for a walk.

With that, Su Hao left his own residence and then looked at the ancestral hall next door, a ancestral hall that was usually deserted.

Today it's packed with people, and quite a few are even holding wooden signs.

Su Hao knew about that wooden sign because Hu Tao had given him a similar one, indicating that "with this sign, buy one get one free".

Simply put, it means double the number of coffins!!!

Su Hao felt that even if Hu Tao died of old age, it was unlikely that he would die.

Before stepping into the realm of demon gods, Su Hao vaguely sensed that he was different from others, even if he could never step into the realm of demon gods in his lifetime.

His lifespan is likely similar to that of the Liyue Master; living for over a thousand years should be no problem at all.

After stepping into the realm of demon gods, Su Hao felt that he might be able to outlive the entire continent of Teyvat.

Well, "outliving the continent of Teyvat" doesn't mean outliving the gods. This feeling may be a little subtle, but it certainly exists.

Su Hao felt that this was a change brought about by the upgrade of the chat group level, but it was still early and thinking about such things was too far-fetched. He should focus on what was happening in the present.

After glancing briefly at what was happening at the Hall of Rebirth, Su Hao left his home and went to a secluded spot, where he waited for a while.

"Whoo~"

As a gentle breeze blew by, Wendy appeared, this time without any smell of alcohol on him.

"Sigh, no more drinks." Wendy sighed, looking at Su Hao and saying, "Why did Morax fake his death? There was supposed to be a party today."

"Now that the party has been canceled, I really don't know what to say."

Wendy was quite helpless. He had made an appointment with Beidou the night before last to hold a wine tasting competition after the invocation ceremony.

Simply put, this competition isn't just about drinking to see who wins or loses; it's about appreciating the wine through its appearance, aroma, and taste.

Simply being able to drink is no skill! Savoring fine wine is one of life's greatest pleasures!

Yes, it's definitely not just that Beidou got drunk for four days in a row and then surrendered after learning about Wendy's terrifying alcohol tolerance.

"Shua——!!"

At that moment, accompanied by a flash of lightning, lightning and thunder appeared together.

Raiden Shin looked at Wendy and complained, "Drinking every day is bad for your health. Although we are all demon gods and don't need to worry about our health, it's still better to be careful."

"However, you look much better now that you don't smell of alcohol."

To be honest, Raiden really can't stand the fact that Wendy always smells strongly of alcohol whenever they meet.

For some wine lovers, Wendy smells wonderful, but for some who don't like alcohol, the smell is simply too pungent.

Wendy then looked at Raiden Shin standing next to him and complained, "Then you should advise Balzebub to stop eating desserts every day, or he'll get cavities."

"Speaking of which, ever since we arrived in Liyue Harbor, Balzeb has been eating all the time. He's either eating pastries, desserts, or tea snacks."

Yes, in Wendy's memory, every time she saw Ray, he was always eating!

You should know that you don't drink alcohol every day.

Lei raised an eyebrow. Desserts were her second life. She said righteously, "I can't possibly have cavities."

"So Barbatos, don't try to persuade me to give up desserts. It's like asking you to quit drinking. Would you quit drinking?"

Wendy fell silent. Quitting drinking? It would be better to just kill him.

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

At this moment, the Great Tree King's voice rang out. She looked at Ray Movie and Wendy and said softly, "We're not here to talk about this today, are we?"

Nasita came out, looking at Su Hao with a somewhat subtle expression, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

“That’s true.” Wendy nodded slightly, finally remembering what he needed to do. He looked at Su Hao and said, “By the way, the old man said he had a few words for you.”

"???" Several question marks popped into Su Hao's mind. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "He left me with a few words? Why didn't he tell me yesterday?"

When we chatted privately yesterday, Zhongli kept it a secret from me? Now he wants Wendy and other gods to tell me?

"Haha, because that's because the time hasn't come yet."

Wendy looked at Su Hao with a smile and said, "It's actually very simple. He hopes that if the Seven Stars of Liyue ask you for help, you won't refuse."

"Actually, the original words were that he wanted you to become the new Rock God, but Baal and Balzeb fought with the old man for this, and in the end the old man gave up."

As she said this, Wendy smiled mischievously.

"Huh?" Several more question marks popped up above Su Hao's head. He felt like he had missed something.

Raiden Shin and Raiden Shin teaming up to fight Zhongli? Why don't I feel anything at all?

Is it in Liyue Harbor? That's unlikely. If it were in Liyue Harbor, I would have sensed something was off.

Did they go to another dimension to fight? If it's a battle in another dimension, it's easy for him to find out if it's a fight between the ruling powers of the mortal world.

They can't exactly go fight in the Abyss, can they? Does Liyue have any nodes for entering the Abyss?

Um... there seems to be one over at the Layered Rock Abyss.

Su Hao fell into deep thought, hoping that everything was alright in the abyss. Even a simple sparring match between the rulers of the mortal world could probably have a world-destroying effect.

Especially Lei Yingdian and Zhong Li, the first generation of gods with abundant martial arts skills.

And if it's just about helping out, why do you expect me not to refuse? Isn't that something that can be said casually?

"I don't know. There must be a deeper meaning behind what the old man said." Wendy felt that Zhongli's decision not to tell Su Hao face-to-face must have some other purpose.

"He's definitely up to something." Raiden Shin directly commented on Morax, saying that he must be harboring some bad intentions, because instead of telling Su Hao to his face, he was bringing it up through the Seven Stars of Liyue, which meant he was definitely up to something bad.
