Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Now he's just an ordinary funeral home attendant, nothing special.

Of course... if Liyue were to face another unimaginable disaster.

The Rock King Emperor will also emerge from seclusion.

“Mr. Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth,” Dadalia said with a helpless expression, “no one knows as much as Mr. Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth.”

Yes, D'Artagnan realized this at this point. He had originally thought that Mr. Zhongli was very knowledgeable and knew everything.

They actually know so many locations where demon gods are sealed, and they are also very familiar with the Liyue Immortals and the Dragon King Ruoduo.

He once insisted that although there were traces left by the Dragon King of the Layered Rock Abyss, the Dragon King of the Layered Rock Abyss could not possibly be sealed in the Layered Rock Abyss.

Looking back now, what experience? These are all things he did in the past! How could he not know these things?

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Arecino then held D'Artagnan down, telling him to stop talking. She knew he was in a hurry, but there was no need to rush.

Because if they continued talking, it would probably go on and on, and D'Artagnan was very resentful, which she knew and understood.

But she still had things to do in Fontaine, so Arecino didn't want to waste any more time there. She quickly took the Heart of Geo and left Liyue, this troublesome place.

As for the Fools' soldiers, let the other executives deal with them; diplomacy isn't her forte.

After pressing down on Tartaglia, Arecino looked up at Zhongli not far away and slowly said, "Mr. Zhongli, now that we have completed what you asked us to do, you should hand over the Heart of the Rock God to us according to the contract."

With that, Arecino extended her hand to Zhongli, indicating that he could hand over the Heart of the Rock God.

"Eh?!"

Paimon's eyes widened as she looked at Zhongli and exclaimed, "The Heart of the Rock God?! Zhongli?! You're going to give such a precious thing to the Fatui?!"

"What did they do?! They actually want you to give them the Heart of God as payment?"

Paimon knew perfectly well what the Heart of God was, since there were already four earthly rulers in the group; how could she not know?

Although the gods in the group all seemed quite disgusted with the Heart of God, it is undeniable that this thing is truly valuable, extremely valuable.

In response to Paimon's words, Arecino smiled and explained, "It's actually quite simple. The Empress signed a contract with the Rock King, but I have no way of knowing the contents of the contract."

"Because this contract was brought by the lady from the winter solstice and signed with the Rock King Emperor."

“Originally, I shouldn’t be here, because the young master is in charge of what’s happening in the open. The unsealing of the demon god and the riot of the fools that you witnessed are his responsibility.”

"The lady is responsible for directing operations from the shadows. If anything unexpected happens, the Fatui must cease their actions and may even join the battle to assist Liyue. This is part of the contract."

"But...an accident happened, so I came."

Arecino looked at Su Hao. Everyone present knew what the surprise was.

The woman in charge of the operation in the shadows is dead. She died in Mondstadt, though the cause of death is unknown.

Therefore, Alecino, who had been active in Fontaine, had no choice but to receive orders from the Queen and personally come to Liyue to carry out a series of actions.

However, she was very satisfied with this operation because she obtained a lot of information from the various gods and had a clear understanding of the crisis facing Fontaine.

“That’s still not enough to obtain the Heart of the Rock God,” Luminous suddenly spoke, her gaze fixed on Arecino. “Because you Fatui are only part of the plan.”

"Even without you, we can have others act as [sinners] to carry out a series of things."

Ying saw things very clearly. The Fools were just scapegoats. Even without the Fools, Zhongli could have created another force with his deliberate arrangements.

The biggest crisis facing Liyue this time is Osel and the Eight Dragons.

The Fatui were merely an appetizer, for they were wiped out as soon as they appeared...

There was nothing that could be done about it, because the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Facing the powerful figures of the three great nations head-on, as well as the strongmen and immortals of Thousand Rock Army and Liyue, the Fatui do not even have any executive-level combatants. How are they supposed to fight?

What Tartaglia and Arecino did was not enough to obtain the Heart of the Rock God.

Paimon, standing nearby, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the traveler's assessment.

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Arecino nodded slightly and looked at Luminous as she slowly said, “I also feel that what we’ve done hasn’t reached the point where we can obtain the Heart of the Rock God.”

Ying was surprised, and Paimon looked at Arecino with a different gaze.

It was as if those words shouldn't have come from her.

"Humph."

Black Ella, who knew Arecino well, gave a slight hum, clearly knowing what the other was going to say next.

Ella remained calm, as if none of this concerned her, because she was not interested in what was happening before her.

What interests her is the next scene.

Arecino looked at Luminous and Paimon and said with a smile, "However, the Rock King is the God of Contracts. He himself has said that there is no problem with this contract. Traveler, Paimon, you don't need to question it."

This sentence left Ying and Paimeng speechless.

Yes, Zhongli is the God of Contracts. He personally signed the contract, which means that there are no problems with the contract.

Ying and Paimon were very curious about what exactly made Zhongli hand over the Heart of the Rock God.

Helping Liyue with its reforms and unsealing Osel and the Eight Dragons is certainly not enough to make Zhongli hand over the Heart of God; there must be a deeper reason behind it.

"That's natural."

Zhongli readily handed over the Heart of the Rock God. He looked at Arecino and Tartaglia and said, "According to the contract, I will naturally hand over the Heart of the Rock God to you Fatui Executors."

"After that, Liyue will not try to obtain the Geo Heart."

Zhongli gently pushed the Heart of the Rock God to Arecino, then said calmly, "Then, the contract is renewed, I'll take my leave now."

With that, Zhongli turned around, and with a flash of golden light, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing Zhongli walk away so quickly, Dadalia couldn't help but feel a little strange, because based on her interactions with Zhongli over the past year.

Even if Zhongli was in a hurry, he wouldn't leave so hastily. Instead, he would stay and say a few words before slowly departing.

Instead of directly crossing space to leave, could it be that the identity of the Rock King Emperor has been exposed, and he's too lazy to pretend anymore?

"The Heart of the Geo Archon is mine."

Arecino silently held the Heart of the Rock God in her hand. Looking at the Heart of the God in her hand, she sighed, "No wonder it is the ultimate reward of the Demon God War."

"Just holding it, I feel an unimaginable power. No wonder that guy Sanbing became a god."

Arecino didn't immediately put away the Heart of the Geo God. She held the Heart of the Geo God in her hand, looked at Su Hao and the others not far away, and slowly said, "So, can we go now?"

This is a question. When Arecino saw Zhongli leave so readily, she sensed something was wrong.

"Of course... no."

Su Hao smiled, pulled out the Seven Thunders of Purification from a nearby space, and pointed at Arecino and Datalia, saying, "Friend or foe, choose."

Chapter 480 Hand over the Heart of the Rock God!

"Friend or foe, choose."

As soon as Su Hao finished speaking, Ella and Black Ella immediately went into battle mode.

Dark purple lightning intertwined with pitch-black shadows, and the power of the demon god unfolded, sealing off the space in this area.

Ying immediately drew her bladeless sword and aimed it at Datalia, the bewildered Executor of the Fools.

"Eh?!!"

Paimon felt like his brain had completely shut down. How did he suddenly get into battle mode?!

This time, however, Paimon's mind worked a little faster: Su Hao was planning to steal the Heart of the Rock God!

This made her put her hands on her hips, then looked at D'Artagnan and Arecino, and said in a show of force, "Yes! That's right!! Friend or foe! Choose!!!"

"????"

Several big question marks popped into D'Artagnan's mind as he looked at the Seven Thunders of Purification in Su Hao's hand, and at Ella and Black Ella who were surrounding him and Arecino.

(The traveler has been ignored by him.)

"Su Hao, what do you mean by this?!" Dadalia did not enter a fighting state because he knew that if he and Arecino joined forces, they might be able to deal with Ella and Black Ella.

Even when Ella and Black Ella merge, they have ways to deal with them.

However, with Su Hao around, all of this was just wishful thinking, so D'Artagnan could only start to 'reason' with him.

"The literal meaning." Su Hao pointed his blade at Tartaglia and Arecino, and said calmly, "Hand over the Heart of the Rock God."

D'Artagnan almost couldn't catch his breath. He seemed to understand why the woman who was still alive had been cursing Su Hao incessantly.

He called the other person a despicable and shameless bastard, saying that he used to be able to beat him and reason with him in a real sense.

If you can reason with him now, he will raise his weapon and use force to force you to reason with him.

In short, there is no solution!

"You might as well just say it's robbery!" D'Artagnan laughed in exasperation; he was starting to lose his temper.

After being hit by the fact that Zhongli knew the truth all along and that everything he did was part of a plan, Morax and Arecino were shocked.

They had obtained the Heart of the Rock God, which should have been a happy occasion, but no sooner had Zhongli left than Su Hao demanded that they hand over the Heart of the Rock God.

That's no better than just calling it robbery! It would be much simpler to just use force to steal the Heart of Geo!

“Isn’t that what I’m doing right now?” Su Hao said with a smile, then looked at Arecino beside him and said, “What do you say, Arecino? Friend or foe?”

Su Hao calmly asked Arecino, knowing full well that Dadalia was not currently in combat mode.

It really depends on Arecino's attitude. If she intends to fight to the death to protect the Heart of the Rock God, then there's nothing that can be done.

Su Hao had no choice but to defeat the two of them and then take the Heart of the Rock God from them.

There was no suspense in this battle; both sides knew the outcome, and it all depended on her choice.

“Is that even a question?” Arecino raised an eyebrow, glancing at D'Artagnan who was suppressing her anger beside her. She said calmly, “I naturally choose my friend.”

"Becoming your enemy is not the outcome I wanted..."

Upon hearing Arecino's words, Black Ella pursed her lips, and the shadow power emanating from her vanished.

Yes, if Arecino says she doesn't want to fight, then it means she really doesn't want to fight.

In other words, the other party is willing to hand over the Heart of the Rock God.
