Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"The Emperor has been with us for so long, and this contract has lasted for 3,700 years, but with the Emperor's soul returning to the heavens, this contract has also come to an end."

The people in the audience nodded slightly upon hearing these words, their expressions showing particular emotion.

One of the shopkeepers said sadly, "A 3,700-year-old contract, burning and burning, has turned to ashes..."

"I thought this contract would last for a very long time to come, but I never expected it to turn out like this."

Many people expressed similar sentiments to the boss mentioned above.

Ningguang understood what these people were discussing, but she still said calmly, "But the severance of the [contract] also means the end of an era."

"When the Emperor was undergoing his tribulation, he may have had some thoughts. He abandoned the era of immortals and chose the era of humans and immortals. From now on, Liyue will follow the Emperor's thoughts."

"We humans and the immortals will move forward hand in hand."

"Everyone, the old contract has disappeared, and a new contract has been born. We, the Seven Stars, will obey the Emperor's command and become the pioneers of the new era."

As Ningguang finished speaking, applause erupted in the audience, and many people's eyes lit up again, because they knew.

What do these new contracts and pioneers of a new era really represent?

Although the Emperor's soul has returned to the heavens, his will will be inherited by them.

As long as the Emperor's will and this contract are not terminated, the people of Liyue can continue on their path.

Seeing that Ningguang remained silent, Gan Yu stepped forward and said, "Then, Lord Tianquan's speech ends here."

"Does Lord Yuheng have anything else to say?"

Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing, indicating whether the other party had anything to say.

In fact, from the very beginning, Gan Yu felt that Ke Qing was acting strangely today. The other party's emotional fluctuations were obviously much stronger than usual.

Although Gan Yu could understand why Ke Qing's emotions were fluctuating much more intensely than usual today.

Because no matter what, today is the Emperor's "funeral," and in the eyes of the Seven Stars, the Emperor is probably really dead.

Although Ke Qing was very disrespectful to the Emperor at first, Gan Yu has witnessed the changes in him over the past year.

So Gan Yu was subtly reminding Ke Qing that if she had nothing to say, it was about time to go back and rest.

"Have."

Keqing nodded seriously. She stepped forward to take Ningguang's place and looked at the people in front of her. She said in a very serious tone, "What I want to say is actually very simple."

"That is, the Emperor personally ended the era of immortals and created the era of humans and immortals. In this era..."

"We should work even harder so that the Emperor in the heavens can see our efforts."

"And I also hope that in the era to come, the Seven Stars will strive together with you all, and that Liyue will become even more prosperous!"

"I'm done."

After speaking, Ke Qing looked at Zhong Li, who was not far away.

Zhongli nodded slightly, agreeing with Keqing's words.

A series of enthusiastic applause erupted from below.

In fact, many people had reservations about Ke Qing because they believed that if she hadn't insisted on creating an era between humans and immortals, the Emperor wouldn't have left so early.

But time will tell. Now everyone understands that the Emperor has entrusted the future to them.

Even without Yuheng Star saying those words, the Emperor would have made a similar decision.

However, after Yuheng Star uttered these words, the Emperor showed a happy expression, which also meant...

The Emperor wanted to see someone realize this and boldly bring it up.

"So... now comes the moment everyone's been waiting for."

After Keqing finished speaking, Gan Yu stepped forward again. She took a deep breath and said in a very serious tone, "Acting Rock God, Lord Su Hao."

"Now it's your turn to speak."

Chapter 486?

As Gan Yu uttered these words, the people present were slightly taken aback at first, and then they immediately leaned out to look towards Yujingtai, their expressions showing great excitement.

This excitement was far more intense than when Ningguang and Keqing spoke earlier.

The reason is simple: everyone already knows that the Emperor has passed away.

As everyone knows, Liyue is currently in an era dominated by humans and immortals.

However, if possible, they still hope that someone will take on the position of Rock God, as for who that person will be.

In truth, everyone knows that apart from Su Hao, the "successor" personally mentioned by the Emperor a year ago, probably no one else is capable of taking on this position.

The Seven Stars had people spread the word about everything Su Hao did.

To combat the Fools, defeat their executives, and thwart the Abyss Order's plots, etc.

Not long ago, he collaborated with the Seven Stars, the Immortal, and the Dragon King Ruotu to seal the sea demon god Oser, and even killed the legendary terrifying creature Baqiu.

Several days have passed since Oser was resealed and the Eight Dragons were killed.

The appearance of the Demon Sealing Island also allowed Su Hao, who was a human, to achieve god-like glorious feats.

The mere existence of Sealed Isle is enough to silence all the people of Liyue, for they have witnessed the birth of history.

In ancient times, an emperor sealed away the vortex demon god Oser, allowing the Lonely Cloud Pavilion to be successfully born.

Now, Su Hao has sealed the vortex demon god Oser, allowing the Demon Sealing Island to be successfully born.

This is why the people of Liyue can now accept the passing of the Emperor, but they also look forward to the arrival of a new god.

Although Su Hao is human, everything he does is something only a god could accomplish.

“Acting as Geo Archon~ Go ahead~” Venti teased Su Hao, then chuckled and said, “Next time we go to Mondstadt, I’ll give you a second-generation Anemo… wait!”

Before Wendy could finish speaking, Raiden Shin drew his sword from his chest, and Raiden Dian took out his naginata. Purple lightning flashed in the eyes of the two women as they stared at Wendy with great hostility.

This made Wendy immediately raise her hands, indicating that she was surrendering and begging not to be hit!

At the same time, Wendy quickly arrived at Zhongli's side, and no one at the scene noticed that Mr. Zhongli had an additional bard by his side.

Zhongli looked at Wendy with a helpless expression. This wind god Barbatos was still as energetic as ever.

How come I didn't realize before that the other person enjoyed doing these things so much?

Hmm? Wait a minute... something doesn't seem right. Back then, he seemed to really enjoy doing these kinds of things.

But now that we've met, and they're doing these things in front of us, they've become even more deserving of a beating.

"Ah."

Su Hao did not refuse, because Qi Xing had informed him of this matter beforehand. Simply put, as the acting Rock God, he only needed to make a statement.

Actually, you can just not say anything and simply show your face.

Liyue is currently quite vulnerable and needs some emotional support, so Su Hao's intervention is necessary.

At the very least, we need to let the other citizens of Liyue know that if the sky were to fall again, Su Hao, the acting Geo Archon, would be there to hold it up.

But in reality, if the sky were to truly collapse, it would still be Zhongli and the Dragon King Ruotu who would handle it.

The next second, Su Hao teleported directly to Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu's side.

The people at the scene gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with a variety of emotions as they looked at Su Hao who had suddenly appeared.

The atmosphere became even more lively, because the name Su Hao was familiar to travelers from all over the world.

In the past two years, his name has appeared in various stories. Anyone with even a little bit of inside information will know about his deeds.

First, he became a member of the Thunder God's entourage, defeated many of the Fools' elites, defeated the Fools' executive officer, killed the crazed Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard with the Sage, thwarted the Abyss Order's conspiracy, and saved the Grass God, among other things.

Besides that, there's the other person's identity; he's the next Thor from Inazuma.

Furthermore, according to rumors, he himself is a follower of the wind god.

For some reason, he replaced the Little Auspicious Grass King of Sumeru and became the acting Grass God.

However, putting all that aside, the people of Liyue only know one thing: Su Hao is the successor of the Emperor and is now acting as the Geo Archon!

Although he is currently only acting as the Geo Archon, the people of Liyue believe that he will eventually become the true Geo Archon.

Hmm... that's what the people of Inari think too.

"Hello everyone."

This wasn't the first time Su Hao had faced something like this, because he had often stepped in to handle various matters when he was in Inazuma.

So he should have gotten used to it by now, and with a gentle smile, he greeted the people below.

"Actually, you've all heard about this." Su Hao went straight to the point, looking at the people below and saying in a very serious tone, "The Emperor has passed away, and now Liyue is leaderless."

“I have received the Emperor’s grace and inherited his legacy and authority. Therefore, I am willing to temporarily assume the position of the Rock God before the next Rock God is born.”

"But... Liyue's future will always belong to you."

Su Hao gazed at the faces below and said quite seriously, "I am just a human with divine power. In the end, I am just a human."

"I cannot protect you for a thousand years like the Rock King Emperor; my life will come to an end."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, the people of Yujingtai suddenly felt a sense of panic.

Because they are unaware that humans who have stepped into the realm of demons are fundamentally different from ordinary people in terms of their life structure.

They simply felt that even with such immense power, Su Hao couldn't withstand the passage of time, and that perhaps in a hundred years, he would return to the heavens like the Emperor.

But to those who know that Su Hao will not easily pass away due to his lifespan.

Su Hao's words meant very well that he was only temporarily acting as the Rock God, and that he would definitely leave in the future.

As for where he's going, he's the next Thor, so where else could he go but Inazuma?

Su Hao was unsure of what the people were thinking at that moment, but he spoke as if reciting a prepared statement, his tone still firm: "But this is not the end for Liyue, nor is it the end for you."

"I will leave sooner or later, but this road will continue to extend. I am just temporarily at the forefront of this road."

"And in the years to come, each of you may, like me, walk at the forefront of this path."

"When the time comes, you must not stop. As long as you do not stop, the road will continue to extend until you can see me, the Emperor, and other ancestors of Liyue."

"You are not alone on this path. In the era of humans and immortals, we will walk together."
