They were natural allies, and it was commonplace for them to trade and exchange important resources.
Otherwise, how could Jean have brought Kaeya, Abel, Yura, Klee, and others to Liyue to participate in the Summoning Ceremony at this critical juncture?
While the people in Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru are having a blast, those in Winter are going to suffer terribly!
The Northern Bank was temporarily sealed off, and the many Fools who had been captured at the Jade Pavilion were now giving a certain Fool executive a major headache.
The executor, known as the Rich Man Fool, sent many of his cronies to negotiate.
The Liyue Seven Stars did not intervene; instead, they sent Yelan and Ningguang, their secretary, to handle the matter.
As for how much the Fools would have to pay to return so many combatants, that remains unknown.
These combatants are an extremely valuable asset to the Fools.
It's not something that can be simply compared to Mora and supplies. It takes several years to train a qualified combatant.
Elite combat personnel require more time and resources!
That's why the Fools spent a lot of money and effort to rescue these combatants.
After this ordeal, Liyue has temporarily entered a period of calm, with everyone busy with their own tasks. The Liyue Seven Stars are working overtime, and the Thousand Rocks Army is rapidly replenishing its manpower.
The General Affairs Department even dispatched several capable individuals to Fengmo Island for reconnaissance.
The Demon Sealing Island here was created by Su Hao using the Rock Spear. Its name is simple and straightforward: the Island that seals the Demon God.
Oh, by the way, Su Hao just came up with this name randomly because he couldn't think of a good one after thinking for a long time, so he came up with "Demon Sealing Island".
Although Fengmo Island is smaller in scale than Guyun Pavilion, it is still a very valuable asset for Liyue.
Therefore, the people from the General Affairs Department went there immediately to survey the terrain and see what the situation was like.
The Hall of Rebirth remains busy, with Hu Tao and her group running around. Events such as the death of the Emperor and the arrival of the Demon God have caused many of the elderly to pass away.
This year is probably the year with the best performance for Wangshengtang.
The ceremony to send off the immortals proceeded in an orderly manner, except that Mr. Zhongli was accompanied by another middle-aged man who also looked noble.
This middle-aged man, who looked quite noble, seemed to harbor a great grudge against Mr. Zhongli.
He would often say things like, "How could I be so stupid?", "How dare you lie to me?", "Today we'll settle everything", and "Mora-chulli".
Time passed slowly, and soon several days had passed. With Mr. Zhongli's preparations, the day of the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony finally arrived.
Today is quite special. Thanks to the conscious promotion by the Liyue Septim, people from Liyue and travelers from other countries all know the meaning of the Farewell Ceremony.
Most of the immortals in Liyue have long lifespans, but they will eventually pass away. When an immortal leaves, there will be a grand memorial ceremony.
The Emperor has passed away, and there has been no more [Rock King Emperor] since.
But the Emperor is the ancestor of all immortals, and he is also an immortal, so this ceremony of sending off immortals also applies to him.
Therefore, today's Farewell Ceremony was quite lively, with countless Liyue citizens coming to Liyue Harbor, and some elderly people who had not died yet, barely holding on to their last breath, came to the Farewell Ceremony.
They couldn't believe that the Emperor had passed away like this. If the Emperor had really left like this, then they should leave with him.
Many elderly people came to the front of Yujingtai with this idea in mind. Some wealthy old men even booked several restaurants and paid for all the expenses for the day.
In any case, the sending-off ceremony was even more lively than the inviting-the-immortal ceremony a few days ago.
"Ah, this day has finally come."
Not far from Yujingtai, Zhongli looked at the huge crowd outside and couldn't help but sigh, "From this day forward, the Rock God Morax will disappear."
"Once we get Morax's body here and the Ascension Ceremony is over, Liyue will usher in an era of humans and immortals."
"Rodha, our era is coming to a complete end."
As the one who prepared the ceremony for sending off the immortals, Zhongli quietly stepped aside after everything was ready and did nothing else.
Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu were busy running around, while Tian Shu and the other seven stars were not there, presumably busy with something else.
Beside Zhongli, looking at the middle-aged man dressed in noble attire, was the Dragon King Ruotu. He complained, "What are you sighing about, Mora... no, Zhongli?"
"I still prefer to call you by your name, Zhongli. I can't change it back anytime soon."
"Just as I said back then, humanity will surely make its own way on the continent of Teyvat. Since we have chosen to let go, let's trust them."
As he spoke, the Dragon King Ruotu looked at Su Hao, Ella, and Black Ella beside him and said, "What do you think? You are different from me and Zhongli. You are human. What do you think it feels like to know that a [god] has passed away?"
"Me?" Su Hao saw that Ruo Tuo Dragon King had thrown the topic to him, so he chuckled and said, "I don't have any thoughts on it, because no matter what difficult the situation, humans will always try their best to survive."
"Even when faced with unimaginable life-or-death crises, in dire circumstances, humanity can unleash unimaginable power."
Su Hao took it all in stride. On the continent of Teyvat, the power of the gods was indeed formidable.
But humans, protected by the gods, are by no means weak, just like Inazuma five hundred years ago, when he was not protected by the Thunder God.
The dark beast tide nearly devoured the entire Inazuma Island, and Narukami Island was also overrun and swallowed by darkness.
But the people were also fighting desperately, and the monsters were completely wiped out, taking about five hundred years to recover.
But after experiencing such a desperate situation, Inatsume was still able to recover and, licking his wounds, begin various reconstruction efforts.
Knowing this history of Inazuma, Su Hao believed that the people of Teyvat would never despair because their god who protected them had passed away.
Ella and Black Ella remained silent, unable to answer King Rota's question.
Although they are both human, in every respect, Su Hao is the true god in their hearts.
As long as Su Hao stands, they stand!
If one day Su Hao encounters unimaginable danger, they will not let it happen, because the two of them will rush to the front and shield their young master from danger.
"Yes."
At this moment, Wendy also poked his head out. He looked at Rota and Zhongli with a smile and said, "What are you worried about? I haven't bothered with Mondstadt for so long."
"Anyway, as long as nothing major happens, we gods shouldn't get involved."
Raiden, who was standing not far away, nodded slightly. She agreed with Wendy's idea, if it was not necessary.
There's really no need for the gods to intervene right now. They can simply watch the countries they protect develop quietly, and as long as they don't go astray, there's no need for them to interfere.
"Trust in human wisdom," commented the Great Tree King.
Gui Zhong, hands on his hips, looked at the scene before him and smiled gently, "We've done so much, isn't it all to make life better for those little ones?"
At this moment, all the gods reached a consensus: as long as nothing goes wrong, there is no need for them to intervene.
Nasida and Lei Film remained silent; the former felt it was inappropriate for her to interrupt, while the latter quietly ate her food.
Yes, the gods are all here, waiting for the start and end of the rites to send off the immortals.
These gods were also very curious about how the funeral of the Rock King Emperor would be held.
Once today passes, at least on the surface, the [Rock King Emperor] will become a legend.
This scene is hard to come by, but since we're already here, one more day won't make a difference.
The place where the gods and Su Hao were staying was also separated from other people by an invisible barrier.
To other people, they would probably only see Zhongli standing there all alone.
Even Ella can't see it.
But that's normal. If other passersby saw all the gods here, who knows what this ceremony of sending off the immortals would look like?
Time passed second by second, and in the distance, the figure of True Monarch Xieyue Zhuyang appeared first in the sky.
Behind him, the immortal body of the [Rock King Emperor] was held aloft by immortal power.
On the left is the True Lord of Managing Water and Stacking Mountains, and on the right is the True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind.
Behind them were Ge Chenlang City True Lord and Demon-Subduing Great Sage.
The people below, seeing this scene, exclaimed in surprise.
"An immortal!!! It's an immortal!!!"
"Heavens!!! We've seen immortals again!!! Are five immortals here to see off the Emperor?!"
"Mom! I saw immortals again!!!!! And the Emperor! The Emperor is flying in the sky."
"Is the Emperor moving?! Is he still alive?!"
"No, he's already dead, the Emperor is already dead! The immortals just brought his body here."
"Impossible! The Emperor is not dead!! The Emperor successfully transcended the tribulation! He left behind a fragmented body! He successfully ascended to heaven!!!"
"Yes! That's right!! The Emperor has successfully transcended the tribulation! And didn't Seven Stars say that there wasn't a single fatal wound on the Emperor's body?"
"That's right, do you understand the Emperor better, or do I? I'm a renowned historian from Liyue!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and the immortals, carrying the immortal body of Kang [Emperor King of Rocks], descended from the sky.
Together they used their celestial power to support the Emperor's celestial body, allowing it to slowly descend onto the Jade Capital Platform.
During this process, countless citizens of Liyue knelt down, and many felt sorrow in their hearts, even though most of them knew that the Emperor could not have passed away so easily.
But the ritual of summoning immortals is only held once a year. Looking at the once vigorous emperor, he has now become like this.
The people of Liyue were naturally quite saddened, because from this day forward, the Summoning Ceremony would become a thing of the past.
Alternatively, other deities may be chosen to represent them, but throughout history, it has always been the Emperor who participates in the ceremony to invite the deities.
It is estimated that the festival of inviting immortals will gradually decline in the future and become a symbolic commemorative day.
None of the people present were idiots. Even if there were any idiots, they would understand that the Emperor was truly gone. If Liyue were to face another crisis, he might reappear.
But who knows how many years from now.
The immortal body of [Rock King Emperor] landed completely on the Jade Capital Platform, remaining sealed.
The immortals silently stepped aside without saying a word.
Of course, after they arrived, they still took a few more glances at the guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth and the people around him.
This left the immortals somewhat at a loss for words.
"Hi~"
Su Hao waved to the immortals and smiled, as if to say, "Come and chat with us."
But the immortals turned a blind eye, since the presence there did indeed put a bit of pressure on them.
If it were just the Emperor and Ruo Tuo, they would probably have gone over there directly. However, since the gods from various countries were all there, those who were not from the Demon God Realm would only feel awkward if they went over there.
