Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Ke Qing sighed. Although she was a workaholic, she was still a young girl, so she could relate to many of these emotional issues that young girls had.

I don't think the idea of ​​"Demon God Returns to the End" is the same.

Although he thought this was the answer in his heart, Zhong Li didn't say it out loud. He just sighed helplessly. After all, if he dared to say it, he would be fiercely refuted by this young man named Li Yue.

None of my family members understand. Even as the Rock King Emperor, he can't even decide his own feelings!

"Although the Emperor doesn't understand young girls' hearts, he's quite good in other ways."

Seeing Zhong Li's helpless expression, Li Yue chose to bring up another topic.

"Oh?"

Zhongli became interested. He had been listening to Li Yue tell stories for many days, but the gods and immortals in the stories were never praised. For example, Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt, was described as a lazybones, and the lightning general of Inazuma was described as an autistic girl. Today, the Rock King was even described as someone who did not understand human nature.

Now Li Yue is actually going to say good things about the Rock King Emperor?

“That’s right, take Keqing for example.”

"I?"

Ke Qing pointed at herself curiously, wondering what this had to do with her.

“That’s right. Last year, during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony, you openly questioned the Emperor and said that Liyue should be governed by human authority, but the Emperor did not blame you. This proves one thing!”

"what's up?"

"That means the Emperor thinks highly of you!"

Li Yue tapped the table, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"But the Emperor did not agree with my statement at the time."

Ke Qing was puzzled.

"That's because the Emperor has already made plans for this year and it's impossible for them to change based on your words. Therefore, your request at that time was naturally not granted. But this year is different!"

"This year? But this year, the one presiding over the ceremony to invite the immortals is Tianquan Ningguang."

"It has nothing to do with Ningguang. This year, the Emperor will definitely fulfill your request from last year!"

"Young friend Li Yue, are you so sure?"

Li Yue's unwavering statement piqued Zhong Li's curiosity. He wanted to know why Li Yue was so certain, since he was planning something big this year. Although the final result did indeed satisfy Ke Qing's idea of ​​human control over Liyue, it actually had nothing to do with Ke Qing.

"That's right, I'm absolutely certain!"

Li Yue held an OK sign in one hand and pointed to the sky with the other.

"No one understands the Rock King Emperor better than me!"

There it is again.

Zhongli couldn't help but tilt his head back.

"I can even guess what the Rock King Emperor will do during the Immortal Invocation Ceremony!"

"Tell me!"

Ke Qing looked at Li Yue with delight.

"The Emperor is a god who appreciates talent, so when he thinks you have potential, he will nurture you and give you opportunities to learn from your mistakes. However, the rule of man that you desire is very difficult to implement with the Geo Archon in charge, because the people of Liyue instinctively trust the Emperor. Therefore, there is only one way to bring rule of man into Liyue, and that is for the Emperor to perish!"

Zhongli's pupils trembled!

3. How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of an emperor?

"The Emperor has fallen! This is impossible!"

Ke Qing strongly disagreed with the idea of ​​the Emperor's demise. As a twisted fan of the Emperor, Ke Qing wanted to correct his behavior, but she also deeply admired him. She would be extremely unwilling to know that the Emperor had actually fallen.

"Of course not! The Emperor is the strongest War God on the continent of Teyvat, the strongest among the seven gods. Even if all the other gods joined forces, they wouldn't be able to bring down the Emperor!"

"Then you're saying the Emperor has fallen?"

"That's right, the Emperor won't perish, but the Emperor can perish!"

Li Yue tapped the table and looked at Zhong Li.

"Zhongli, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"I don't know."

"No! You understand! There are only three of us. You don't need to hide anything. With your brains, you know what I mean!"

"Ok."

Zhongli nodded slightly stiffly.

"What my young friend Li Yue means is that the Emperor will fake his death."

"suspended animation?"

Ke Qing was shocked.

“That’s right. The Emperor has protected Liyue for thousands of years. He will try any decision that is good for Liyue, which is why Liyue has been able to prosper until now. The rule of man that you mentioned is also a feasible method, so the Emperor will definitely try it. Just as I said, to bring Liyue into the rule of man, the Emperor’s influence must be eliminated, and the Emperor’s death is the only way. So, just as Zhongli said, the Emperor will choose to fake his death!”

Li Yue spoke eloquently in front of Zhong Li.

"The best way to spread the news of the Emperor's death is to have him die in public during the ceremony to invite immortals, for example, by falling directly from the sky and having his body land right in front of everyone. There is no method that would be more shocking and direct!"

"In this way, everyone, even Teyvat, will know that the Emperor has fallen, and Liyue will have to enter an era of rule by man. The Emperor's influence will be weakened, and you, Keqing, as the first of the Seven Stars to propose rule by man, can then fully display your talents and realize all your ambitions!"

"And the Emperor will remain hidden behind the scenes, continuing to protect Liyue in secret. Because the Emperor knows better than anyone that in Teyvat, a godless kingdom, it is difficult to exist. Gods are the strongest fighting force of each country, and even the weakest god is not something humans can fight against. Although the seven kingdoms are not openly waging war right now, having no sword in hand and having a sword in hand but not using it are two completely different things!"

After Li Yue finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Li again.

"Zhongli, you should understand what I mean, right?"

When the same words came again, Zhong Li felt a chill run down her spine, but she still nodded stiffly.

"What my young friend Li Yue said is very likely."

Although some details differed slightly from his retirement plan, the main content was essentially the same. Could this young man have already discovered his true identity? No, no, no, he shouldn't have. He believed he had concealed it quite well, and he had already tested him. Li Yue was just an ordinary person with no power, and her physical abilities were even inferior to those of the porters at Liyue Docks. It was impossible for her to know his true identity, much less understand his plans in such detail.

Then there is only one possibility: Li Yue really does know the Rock King Emperor very well, just as he said, and therefore guessed that the Rock King Emperor would do such a thing!

Zhong Li's gaze towards Li Yue became complicated for a moment.

"I...I don't believe it!"

It was one thing for Li Yue to say that, but the fact that Zhongli, who was known for his erudition, also agreed with Li Yue's statement greatly shocked Ke Qing.

"what?"

Li Yue made a sound.

"Keqing, haven't you always wanted to be ruled by humans? The Emperor even faked his death to give you a chance to try and fail. Why are you unwilling now?"

“It’s not that I’m unwilling. Of course, I hope that Liyue can try human intervention. I just don’t believe in the possibility you mentioned. The idea that the Emperor faked his death is too outrageous. Even if he wanted to give me a chance, he didn’t have to do it this way.”

Keqing shook her head, her purple twin tails swinging back and forth.

"I'm glad you said the Emperor appreciates and approves of me, but I don't believe the Emperor would do that."

"But Your Majesty has no other choice!"

Li Yue emphasized.

“Liyue has been protected by the Emperor for thousands of years. Over such a long period of time, the Emperor’s influence on Liyue is too deep-rooted. As long as the Emperor is in power, Liyue will never be able to get rid of the Emperor’s influence. Rule by man is completely impossible. He can only reduce his presence and influence and give up his power in order to allow Liyue to enter an era of rule by man.”

"I just want human rule; Your Majesty doesn't need to make such a huge sacrifice for me."

Here comes a twisted Emperor fan: someone who doesn't want the Emperor but can't bear to part with him.

"You don't need to worry too much. To the Emperor, you are an invaluable talent. If you really feel that the Emperor has made a great sacrifice, then start thinking now about how to live up to the Emperor's trust, realize your ideal of rule by man, and do it well!"

After Li Yue finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Li again.

"Zhongli, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Zhong Li nodded helplessly; he always felt that Li Yue was giving him a hint.

"From a generally rational perspective, focusing on doing one's own job well is indeed more important."

"I understand."

Keqing stood up.

"Although I still don't believe the Emperor would do such a thing, just as you said, Li Yue, I should do my job well. I'm not doing enough right now, and I should work harder!"

"Mr. Zhongli, Li Yue, I must take my leave now. I have to work overtime tonight!"

After saying that, Ke Qing turned around and left.

After watching Ke Qing leave, Li Yue picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"As expected of Keqing, she's so decisive and efficient."

"Yuheng Star is very serious and responsible in his work, which is Liyue's good fortune."

Zhongli also gave his own comments, expressing his great satisfaction with Keqing, the responsible and earnest Seven Star.

"That's right. I just said it briefly, and she got all fired up. She's so naive and easy to fool."

what?

Zhongli, who was about to nod, paused for a moment.

"Young friend, is that you?"

Li Yue spread her hands.

“Zhongli, you know that Yuheng Star is a very serious person. I just came here to tell stories, but she thought I was very knowledgeable. Then she started to pester me and ask me all sorts of questions, even asking me how to get along with immortals. I'm just a storyteller, what do I know about getting along with immortals?”

"So I found her something to do, so she wouldn't always be watching me. Now she's really motivated and is working hard."

"So, what you meant by the Rock King Emperor faking his death?"

"Of course it's made up. It's okay to make things up like this. Even if it's wrong, it won't have any impact. I already said that I guessed that the Rock King Emperor would do this. If the Rock King Emperor really does this, then I guessed right. If the Rock King Emperor doesn't do this, then how can we fathom the Emperor's thoughts! In any case, it can't be wrong!"

Li Yue acted as if she were completely unfazed, leaving Zhong Li speechless.

"Young friend Li Yue, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will find out if you make such a fuss about him?"

"So what if I know? Is the Emperor going to come to me in person?"

"Moreover, if the Emperor dares to come to me in person..."
