Well, the one-sided Morax plan has failed, and others will definitely be happy, such as Keqing, Ningguang, and others who will no longer have to bother.

The Emperor has been resurrected, so what's the point of dividing power, holding meetings, or holding ceremonies to send off immortals? What are the fools anyway?

"I am not sleeply."

Ningguang nodded seriously and looked at Su Hao, saying, "Right now, Liyue has lost the Emperor and the Geo Archon, so we need a new Geo Archon."

“You are the most suitable candidate. You possess the legacy of the Rock God and have been called the successor of the era of humans and immortals by the Emperor. As for the immortals, I don’t think they will object.”

Yes, from any perspective, Su Hao is the best candidate, without a doubt.

The people of Liyue need the Geo Archon, a pillar of support. But to sit in that position, one needs not only prestige, but also strength and the approval of the Archmages.

Su Hao undoubtedly possessed the right, because within this year, the Emperor had addressed the issue of succession at the previous Immortal Invitation Ceremony.

This allowed the Seven Stars of Liyue to directly target Su Hao.

“Actually…” Su Hao looked at Ningguang and said slowly, “You can invite Mr. Zhongli to be the Rock God. He also has the Rock God’s legacy.”

This was just a small suggestion from Su Hao: let Zhong Li become the Rock God. It would be like the Rock God hadn't stepped down, and everyone would be happy.

Of course, Zhongli would never agree. He had finally managed to step down from that position, and now he was being asked to take it back. He would never agree to that.

Su Hao knew that Zhong Li would never agree, so he only offered a small suggestion in an attempt to buy some time.

Once Tartaglia and Arecino release Ocel and the Eight Dragons, Ningguang should stop thinking about this issue.

Ningguang looked towards the distance with a subtle gaze, knowing that Mr. Zhongli possessed the inheritance of an emperor.

However, Su Hao is clearly much better than Mr. Zhongli. On the surface, Su Hao has both strength and prestige, and the Emperor has even named him as his successor.

Therefore, it is reasonable to make him the next Rock God.

What? Su Hao is the next Thor? Ningguang can't control that.

She was merely offering Su Hao a suggestion, and as a businesswoman, she knew very well that forced relationships are never sweet, but they are very refreshing.

That's why she told Su Hao that if he was willing, he would be the next Geo Archon of Liyue.

The Seven Stars of Liyue have no objections, and the Celestials certainly won't have any either.

As long as Su Hao nods, everything will fall into place, and there's no need to worry about the people's situation.

Su Hao already had a great reputation. The other party was not only the next Thor, but also served as the acting Grass God. And, more importantly,

Su Hao is very strong, and he is also very young, having reached the realm of demon gods at the age of only about twenty.

This in itself is an unimaginable miracle.

"…………"

Su Hao fell silent, using his silence to show his stance: this matter absolutely could not be agreed to; agreeing would be disastrous.

And so the atmosphere became awkward.

"You don't want to be the Geo Archon?" Ningguang sighed. She and Su Hao were old friends, and she knew that his silence at this moment meant that he was definitely unwilling to become the Geo Archon.

"Yes." Su Hao nodded seriously. He looked at Ningguang apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I can't become the Geo God. I'm the next Thor. I can't possibly become the Geo God and then become the Thor, can I?"

"Shadow, or rather, General Thunder, has been kind to me. I am deeply indebted to her. Unless she willingly allows me to become the Rock God, I will never agree."

Yes, Su Hao always remembered Lei Movie's kindness. Putting aside Lei Movie, the things Lei Dian really did for him were a great favor.

Lightning truly bestowed upon Su Hao the inheritance of the Thunder God, granting him the ability to protect himself for a short period of time.

Since his battle with the scattered soldiers, Su Hao realized how significant the difference in combat power was between those with divine inheritance and those without.

Are skirmishers really weak? Actually, they are not weak at all.

The skirmishers were created by Ray The Movie himself, and then modified by the Doctor, infused with the energy of Thor's Heart, and infused with the wisdom of the six major schools of the Order of the Gods.

With the help of the God of Righteousness, he was already considered a fairly formidable force in the realm of demons. At the very least, the weak Nasita had virtually no way to deal with him.

However, these scattered soldiers, when facing Su Hao, were not only powerless to fight back, but were also being unilaterally suppressed.

Having strength but not knowing how to use it is the current state of a scattered soldier.

Su Hao was lucky; before even entering the realm of demon gods, he had already received the inheritances of two great gods: the Thunder God and the Rock God.

Zhongli passed on his inheritance to me because he saw Ruo Tuo Dragon King after entering the chat group, and for other reasons.

Raiden might also be using his connections to some extent.

But... Lei Yingdian absolutely did not exploit him; she wholeheartedly taught him and even tried to entrust him with everything she had.

Putting everything else aside, Lei's teachings were absolutely wholehearted; even before I added her to the chat group, she had already entrusted me with her [Willpower] and [Authority].

Furthermore, after entering the Abyss due to an unexpected event, Lei Movie immediately charged into the Abyss and engaged in battle with the Abyss Cult.

Perhaps Lei's movies are indeed a bit silly; apart from the strong fighting skills, everything else is somewhat ambiguous.

But as the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon, and Lei's film treated Su Hao with such sincerity.

Su Hao naturally couldn't ignore her opinion unless she willingly allowed him to go to another country to become a god.

Otherwise, unless justice prevails, Su Hao will become the next Thor; this is inevitable.

"Is that so?" Ningguang sighed when she saw Su Hao's expression, and then slowly said, "In that case, I won't force you anymore."

"But the situation in Liyue is indeed very dangerous right now. Since you are unwilling to become the new Geo Archon, then at least become the acting Geo Archon."

"Just like in Sumeru, since the Emperor has passed away, even if you are just the acting Geo Archon, it can make the situation in Liyue much more stable right now."

Ningguang seemed quite 'helpless' as she spoke, as if Su Hao could only be a substitute Geo God if he wasn't going to be the Geo God.

"This..." Su Hao didn't know why, but he felt like he had been tricked.

This is what they call first throwing out an impossible condition, and then throwing out an acceptable condition to make yourself agree, right?

But Ningguang's move was, I must say... quite impressive. It was a classic example of a calculated strategy, and Su Hao really didn't know what to do for a moment.

You said yes, becoming the acting Rock God means managing many things. Su Hao came here for a vacation, not to work overtime.

He's only twenty! What's wrong with wanting to slack off?!

But if he didn't agree, Su Hao had already served as the acting Grass God in Sumeru, assisting Naxida and the Order of the Church in handling various matters.

Zhongli, Ningguang, and Keqing have treated me very well; it would be unreasonable to refuse them.

Seeing the rather troubled expression on Su Hao's face, Ningguang knew that he was struggling with a decision.

This prompted Ningguang to strike while the iron was hot. She obtained information from Keqing and quickly said, "You don't need to do anything. It's just a matter of lending your name."

"You are merely acting as the Rock God. I will publicly announce this to show that you have the authority to monitor and handle the Seven Stars' actions."

"What you want to do, or what you don't want to do, is entirely up to you."

Ningguang was very serious. Her words were basically saying that as long as Su Hao became the acting Rock God, it wouldn't matter if he did nothing.

Anyway, everything is handled by the Seven Stars of Liyue. If he wants to do something, he will be given the highest level of authority.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Su Hao looked at Ning Guang with some suspicion. If that was the case, then he really had no objections.

Since Ningguang only asked him to be her proxy Geo Archon and he didn't have to do anything, Su Hao was somewhat tempted.

The key point is that he doesn't need to do anything; he just holds the title, which Su Hao has already gotten used to.

"Hmm." Ningguang nodded, secretly relieved, because Su Hao's attitude basically confirmed that he would agree to become the acting Rock God.

In fact, everyone already knew that Su Hao didn't want to become the Rock God during last night's Seven Stars discussion meeting.

It would be best if the other party were willing to become the new Rock God, because if Su Hao becomes the new Rock God, even if he doesn't ascend to godhood in a short time, as long as the news gets out a little.

Most Liyue citizens will feel at ease and there will be no panic, as Liyue is a nation that moves forward hand in hand with the gods.

The passing of the gods instantly transformed Liyue from a divine realm into a godless one, the impact of which is immeasurable.

This is why the Liyue Seven Stars were so eager to find Su Hao, hoping he would become the Geo Archon.

Even if he doesn't want to become the real Geo God, having a proxy Geo God can at least give people some peace of mind.

"Just wait for me."

Su Hao did not agree immediately. He kept his eyes fixed ahead, and lightning element surged around him.

Ningguang knew that Su Hao most likely wanted to communicate with General Raiden, who was far away in Inazuma.

However... what Ningguang didn't know was that the surging lightning element on Su Hao's body was just a facade; he was actually looking at the chat group.

[Su Hao: "Hmm...you guys were right."]

[Keqing: "……………………"]

[Yae no Miko: "What do you mean? Is Liyue trying to steal him away?"]

[Yae no Miko: "Keqing, why aren't you saying anything?"]

Keqing: "Ahem, let Su Hao explain. I'm currently on my way to the Lava Abyss and have no idea what happened between him and Ningguang."

Paimon: "Wait, Ningguang? You went to the Jade Pavilion?"

Paimon: "And... Keqing, are you that busy? Are you going to the Laminaria again???"

[Ke Qing: "I have something to do! I have to go now~~~"]

[Ying: "It seems like they're really in a hurry."]

[Zhongli: "How did the conversation go?"]

[Hiruzen: "Could it be that you're really going to become the Rock God?"]

[Coral Palace Heartsea: "Still the proxy Geo Archon?"]

[Su Hao: "Yes, Ningguang wanted me to become the Geo Archon, but I refused."]

[Rota Naga King: "Huh? Why refuse? This is the position of a rock god, one of the seven ruling powers of the mortal world."]

[King Ruoduo: "Back then, countless demons and gods fought to the death for this divine position."]

[Lei Movie: "What? Is it that rare??? I have one too!!!!!"]

[Raiden Shin: "Yes, our Inazuma holds the position of Thunder God, one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World."]

Wendy: "Actually, I have another one here..."

[Nagarjuna: "Barbatos, be quiet."]
