Therefore, all the immortals ignored the situation on that side.

Chapter 485 The Acting Rock God Speaks!

As the immortals arrived at Jade Capital Terrace carrying the immortal body of [Rock King Emperor], the ceremony of sending off the immortals began.

Zhongli, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward at this moment. As a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, he was also responsible for the entire preparation of the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony.

At this point, it's time to personally arrange one's own funeral.

"Ring~!"

As the melodious bell rang, Zhongli held the Cleansing Bell and gently shook it.

The moment that melodious bell rang, everyone present felt inexplicably calmed down, their hearts filled with all sorts of negative emotions.

The pleasant ringing of the bell swept everything away, and they all turned their attention to Zhongli.

"A long time ago..."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Zhongli showed no extra emotion as he slowly began to recount the events surrounding the [Rock King Emperor] up to this point.

From the beginning of the Demon God War to its end, the establishment of Liyue Harbor, the signing of the initial contract, and so on...

Zhongli spoke calmly, his voice carrying a unique charm that drew people into this period of history.

The crowd listened with rapt attention, many of the stories being ones they already knew from storytellers, elders, or even nursery rhymes they had grown up with.

But on this special day, all the citizens of Liyue couldn't help but feel emotional and sad upon hearing these things.

Some people lamented that the Emperor had been busy for so many years, and it was time for him to go to heaven and take a good rest.

Some people were saddened, saying, "Your Majesty, why did you leave us so soon? You took care of us for so long, you should have enjoyed some peace and quiet."

The other citizens of Liyue shared the same sentiments, some deeply moved, others exceptionally sorrowful.

The atmosphere of the farewell ceremony for the immortals was thus established.

However, the situation is quite different within the chat group.

Paimon: "Well... I feel like something's weird!"

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "What's so strange? I feel that what Mr. Zhongli said makes a lot of sense."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "This is far more detailed than any storyteller's explanation."]

[Yura: "It is indeed very detailed, but that's normal."]

[Klee: "Because this is something Mr. Zhongli personally experienced!!!"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "To be honest, I feel something's off. Zhongli is talking about all sorts of things, big and small, about the Rock King Emperor."]

[Hiruzen Kyuuki: "I have a very strange feeling."]

[Su Hao: "Simply put, Shadow is telling the story of General Thunder."]

[Ying: "Pfft!"]

[Lei Movie: "?"]

[Raiden Shin: "That's quite a good analogy~"]

[Sino: "I dare not speak."]

[Abedo: "It's okay, just say whatever you want. Seno, you seem really shy, even though you never stop making corny jokes when we're talking offline."]

[Klee: "Yes! Seno is a really nice guy! He always tries to tell jokes to make Klee laugh! But those jokes... um... Klee isn't really used to them."]

[Nasita: "Sino has a unique talent for telling corny jokes, but he speaks less in chat groups."]

Klee: "Yura seems to be the same way. Back in Mondstadt, she always said... I'll remember this grudge!"

[Yura: "Okay, Klee, stop talking!!!"]

[Yura: "But now that you mention it, it does feel a bit strange. It would have been better if King Ratna hadn't brought that up."]

[Keqing: "……………………"]

Paimon: "Even Keqing doesn't dare to speak."

[Nagarjuna: "How could I not tell you? To prevent you from being deceived again, I must reveal the truth!"]

[King Nagata: "Yes! That's right! It's definitely not because I was deceived too badly!"]

Wendy: "Actually, there's something I'm curious about. Logically speaking, Jota, aren't you the one who's known Morax the longest?"

Wendy: "How come we all noticed, but you didn't?"

Ella: "I think it's quite normal, because I would have noticed it too if it weren't for the young master."

[Kuki Shinobu: "I only believe that Mr. Zhongli is an immortal..."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Me too, at most I can think of him as some kind of immortal, like a half-immortal beast like Miss Gan Yu or Miss Yan Fei."]

[Sino: "I didn't think that much about it; I just thought he was very capable and had an extraordinary demeanor."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Hmm... I think the same way as Seno. Although I know he's incredibly powerful, I haven't thought of him as a god."]

[Rota Dragon King: "Barbatos, you asked me? I won't answer that yet. I'll ask Su Hao first."]

[Su Hao: "What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask me?"]

[Su Hao: "Seriously, you're right in front of me, why are you using a group chat to chat?"]

[Ruo Tuo Dragon King: "Isn't this just a habit? And those old fogies like Liu Yun keep glancing this way; I'm afraid they won't be able to resist coming over to eavesdrop."]

[Zhongli: "Don't worry, I've set up a barrier."]

[Raiden Shin: "I've strengthened the barrier."]

[The Great Tree King: "I had Nasita use the power of the Heart of God to reconstruct a barrier. Without the power of a demon god, they cannot eavesdrop on our conversation."]

Paimon: "No!! I can't hear what you're saying!! Just say it in the group chat!"

[Luminous: "Paimon is right, I'm curious too."]

[Rotuo Dragon King: "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask Su Hao, when did you find out that Zhongli was Morax?"]

[Raja Naga King: "You probably really wanted to add Morax to the chat group back then, didn't you?"]

[Su Hao: "Well, we found out pretty much after adding him to the chat group."]

Zhongli: "Hmm?"

[Abedo: "This is truly...surprising."]

[Abedo: "I only discovered Mr. Zhongli's identity after we met."]

[Zhongli: "I see, it's because of that matter? It seems I was too hasty back then."]

[Su Hao: "It seems Zhong Li already knows. Do I need to explain in detail?"]

[Nagarjuna: "What is it?"]

[Zhongli: "After entering the chat group, I saw you and learned that your damage could be healed within the chat group."]

[Zhong Li: "I realized I owed him a huge favor, which is why I decided to pass on the Rock God's legacy to him. Perhaps it was because of this opportunity that Su Hao discovered my identity."]

[Zhong Li: "Back then, Su Hao didn't have the power he has now."]

Shen He: "At that time, Su Hao didn't seem to be my match, even when he used his divine powers."

Ella: "That happened a long time ago."

[Hiruzen: "Actually, it wasn't long ago, just about a year ago."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like that much time has passed."]

[Su Hao: "Zhong Li, what were your thoughts when you gave me the Rock God's inheritance?"]

[Raiden Shin: "I want to know too."]

[Lei Movie: "+1."]

[Rota Naga King: "Similarly, similarly, it's also because of this that I feel he is not Morax, but a descendant who received Morax's legacy back then."]

[Nagarjuna: "Alas, preconceived notions can kill dragons!"]

Zhong Li: "...Actually, I just wanted to give you the ability to protect yourself. At that time, Su Hao, you were too weak and didn't have the ability to protect yourself."

Zhongli: "To be honest, I'm a little ashamed to say that I only wanted to give you the ability to save your life, and at the same time, to deter other beings from having any ill intentions towards you."

[Lei Movie: "Indeed, that's what I was thinking when I handed over the power of Thor to Su Hao."]

[Raiden Shin: "Ah~~"]

[Su Hao: "Actually, I guessed it, but the real turning point for me to discover your identity was when you descended upon Mount Aozang."]

[Su Hao: "Actually, back then, I could have invited you and Ying to join the group."]

[Su Hao: "But I only see that Ying can join the group, while you are not. In addition, due to the previous Rock God inheritance, so..."]

[Lei Movie: "Huh?"]

[Zhongli: "So that's how it is. Was this the weakness? I thought I was flying high enough."]

[Nagarjuna: "You discovered it back then?!"]

Su Hao: "Mm."

As soon as he sent that message, Su Hao in the real world saw a particularly interesting expression on the face of the Dragon King Ruotu beside him.

If King Ruoduo remembers correctly, at that time he frantically urged Su Hao to add Morax to the group.

So Su Hao already knew Morax had joined the group back then?!

No wonder Su Hao covered for Zhong Li so much later, that's why!

Just as the Dragon King Ruoduo was thinking this, Zhongli shook the Cleansing Bell again, and the clear sound of the bell rang out. Then he placed the Cleansing Bell on the table and stepped aside.

He has said everything he needed to say; now it's the Liyue Seven Stars' turn to speak.

After the Seven Stars of Liyue finish speaking, the Sending-Off Ceremony will be coming to an end.

"Everyone."

Ningguang stepped forward, looked at the people in front of her, and with the help of magic, spoke slowly in a voice that everyone could hear: "Just as Mr. Zhongli said."
