Your desire is indeed strong enough, and you have attracted the attention of the gods, but the Eye of God still cannot be given to you.

As Zhongli walked out of the Hall of Rebirth, he listened to Li Yue and Hu Tao's conversation and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"Don't worry, Li Yue, you're so talented, you'll definitely succeed!"

Hu Tao also gave Li Yue her blessings.

"Zhongli, you're right!"

Zhongli nodded.

"From a purely rational perspective, if Li Yue, you can truly attract the attention of the Rock King and have a strong desire for it, there is a chance that you will obtain the Eye of the Rock Element."

Here you go, so you'll always be thinking about it. But what I'll give you then won't be the Eye of God, since you've exposed my plans. I'll have to make some changes, won't I? This will also satisfy your expectations. You like interesting things so much, so I'll give you something interesting.

"Hmm? Since Zhongli has said so, then it must be successful."

"Moreover, compared to awakening the Eye of God, I think Li Yue, what you should pay more attention to is how to get noticed by the Rock King Emperor without being captured by the Thousand Rock Army. This time, Ningguang is in charge, and she will not allow any chaos to occur on the scene. There will definitely be a lot of Thousand Rock Army soldiers there."

Hu Tao also tried to remind her, but Li Yue remained very confident!

"Don't worry about that, I have a plan!"

"Oh? What can I do?"

Zhong Li also looked at Li Yue with great curiosity.

"It's very simple. I know Ke Qing. Zhong Li, do you remember what I said to Ke Qing before?"

"Hmm...I remember."

You've laid out my entire plan, how could I possibly forget?

"Although Keqing isn't hosting this time, as one of the Liyue Seven Stars, she'll definitely be there. I'll just go find Keqing and trick her into taking me inside the venue, and that'll be it!"

"Aren't you afraid that Keqing will arrest you if you keep doing this?"

Zhongli couldn't help but ask.

"By then, I will be someone who has gained the Emperor's approval. How could Keqing, that die-hard fan of the Emperor, possibly capture me?"

"Oh no, Keqing will indeed try to capture me, but she only wants to make me work for her. I definitely need to avoid that."

Li Yue pinched her chin and began to think.

"However, it's not impossible for me to help her with her work. I remember Keqing was in charge of construction in Liyue. If I had Geo element, it wouldn't be a problem for me, but she would have to give something in return."

My demands aren't high. If you want me to be more efficient at work, then you have to meet my needs, right? From expressionless to thoroughly enjoying himself, Lord Yuhengxing, hehehehe~~

"Since you think it's okay, Li Yue, then it should be fine. Good luck!"

The naive Hu Tao was unaware that Li Yue was recalling what she had seen before; she simply wished Li Yue success.

"Huh? What are you saying? Hu Tao, aren't you going tomorrow?"

"Yes, I met the Emperor when I was a child, and the Emperor's plans actually have nothing to do with my Hall of Rebirth, so I won't go. You can go."

"Zhongli, what about you? You'll probably go, right?"

"I won't go there. There are too many people there. I prefer peace and quiet."

Zhongli and Hu Tao both refused to attend, which is a pity. They wanted Zhongli to make a peace sign in front of his corpse and take a picture with his phone, but unfortunately, he simply didn't go.

"Alright, I'll take Nasita with me then, and let the child broaden her horizons!"

Li Yue thought of Narcida, who was in her room reading a physics textbook. This was a live lesson from the most ancient god, Narcida, you really had to learn well! Since Zhongli wasn't going, then Narcida could just make a peace sign next to Zhongli's corpse!

93. It was Li Yue, Li Yue assassinated the Emperor!

On the day of the summoning ceremony, almost everyone in Liyue Harbor gathered near the Jade Palace. However, the Jade Palace was only a small space, so those who could squeeze in were either those who had lined up in advance or wealthy merchants with connections. Most people, on the other hand, were in the teahouses or on the streets below the Jade Palace, looking up at the sky and counting down the time for the Emperor to appear.

Because it's a big day in Liyue every year, and Liyue is the commercial hub of Teyvat, many foreigners come here. For example, the blond traveler happened to arrive at Liyue Harbor today.

After being passively involved in resolving the Stormterror incident, she helped purify Stormterror's poisonous blood, making the Sky Harp usable. In addition, she had previously driven away Dvalin, so the Traveler still became an Honored Knight of Mondstadt, although her fame was not as high as before. After all, it was Li Yue who fought Stormterror this time, and the Honored Knight was just an participant.

However, in the subsequent Mondstadt storyline, the Traveler was still involved. Kaeya led the Traveler to find the Dawnblade, and the Mondstadt Night Heroes successfully earned the title of Righteous Men, but Li Yue did not get involved.

The Traveler successfully became good friends with the people of Mondstadt through his subsequent involvement in Mondstadt, and later followed Xiangling, a cook from Liyue, to Liyue.

Today, she finally arrived in Liyue, just in time for the start of the Summoning Ceremony.

"There are so many people. We probably won't be able to see clearly if we stay in the back. Let's go to the front."

Looking at the crowd, Paimon offered his opinion to Ying, who was squeezed in the throng. Ying nodded in agreement. She wasn't very tall to begin with, and being in the crowd, she couldn't see what was in front of her at all. After all, she couldn't float in mid-air like Paimon.

As an outsider, she relied on her rich experience to squeeze onto the Jade Capital Platform. Then, she waited in the crowd for the arrival of the Rock King Emperor. It was not easy for her to find the god who separated her from her brother. Now, she had to exert all her strength to squeeze to the front of the crowd, where she was stopped by the Thousand Rock Army and could not go any further.

"We're finally out. From here, we can clearly see what the Rock God's descent looks like."

Paimon, with his little hands folded, floated in mid-air and nodded happily.

"The person I met on the road just now said that the one presiding over the Ceremony of Inviting the Celestials this time is Tianquan Star from the Seven Stars of Liyue. That woman who looks very rich must be Tianquan Star."

"Wait, I think I saw Li Yue. Isn't that Li Yue and Naxida?"

From Paimon and Ying's perspective, not far behind Ningguang of Tianquan Star, there were two people standing. One was a cute girl with purple twin ponytails, and the other was Li Yue, whose clothes looked completely different from those around her. Nasida was also standing behind Li Yue.

At this moment, Li Yue and Ke Qing were also talking in hushed tones.

"Li Yue, I'm so nervous right now."

"What's there to be nervous about? It's just a ritual to invite the immortals. Didn't you just preside over it last year?"

“This is different from last year. Last year I did preside over the ceremony to invite the immortals, but that was just an ordinary ceremony. This year it is different.”

For the past month, Ke Qing had been living in constant tension. To alleviate this tension, she worked overtime until very late every day, and as soon as she got home, she would collapse into bed and sleep. She was so busy that even Gan Yu would have to admit she was incredibly busy. As a result, she now had large dark circles under her eyes. Now that the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony had arrived, she was going to witness the Emperor's feigned death, as Li Yue had described, and her pressure was mounting again.

"You said before that the Emperor would fake his death so that I could show my skills. Is that true or not?"

The Emperor faked his death? What does that mean?

Nasita tilted her head in confusion.

"Who knows? After all, how can we possibly fathom the Emperor's thoughts?"

Li Yue's extremely irresponsible words left Ke Qing completely dumbfounded.

"Huh? But you clearly said that back then."

"Am I wrong? If the Emperor wants to let you try, then you must fake your death. Otherwise, whatever you do will be useless if the Emperor says one word."

"That's true in Liyue's case, but..."

"What you need to do now is not to overthink things, but to do your job well. You can't let the Emperor down, understand? The Emperor even faked his death to entrust Li Yue to you. You must not let him down."

!

Ke Qing's pressure increased even more.

For her own sake, the Emperor chose to fake his death, even handing over the entire Liyue to her. This burden was too heavy. She had indeed said before that Liyue should be governed by people, but suddenly the whole of Liyue was handed over to her, and she couldn't react.

She only had a month to prepare, and in her opinion, a month of preparation was not enough to ensure safety!

But this is the Emperor's trust in me! The Emperor believes I can do a good job! So what I need to do is live up to that trust!

"I understand. I will definitely do my best and will not let the Emperor down! For Li Yue, I would not hesitate to burn myself out!"

Emperor Fan Level +999

Keqing's sudden outburst of anger puzzled Ningguang, who was waiting for the auspicious hour, but she was more concerned about Li Yue beside her. She had noticed Li Yue when Keqing brought her up.

More than twenty days ago, according to the news from Wangshu Inn, Li Yue was the owner of the Eye of God, able to fly in the sky, and was most likely a wind elementalist. He had not shown it in Liyue Harbor before, so no one knew about it. However, he showed it in Wangshu Inn, probably because Wangshu Inn was far away from Liyue Harbor. But the people at Wangshu Inn did not find the Eye of God on Li Yue.

Later, news came from Mondstadt that Li Yue, the hermit from Liyue, had defeated the East Wind Dragon.

A celestial being? Strange that we couldn't see the Vision of God, and we couldn't find out Li Yue's origins before. It turns out he's a celestial being hidden in the land of Liyue!

Suddenly, Ningguang's attention to Li Yue increased significantly. Did the immortal come to Liyue Harbor for something? So she conducted a follow-up investigation on Li Yue, and after the investigation, she found that Li Yue spent almost all her time in the Hall of Rebirth, which made her pay more attention to the Hall of Rebirth.

She once probed Gan Yu, asking if there were any hermits living in Liyue Harbor, and the answer she received was that, apart from Gan Yu and Yan Fei who had formal jobs, there were indeed hermits living in Liyue Harbor, and that hermits had been living in seclusion for a long time.

Li Yue has just arrived in Liyue Harbor, so she is definitely not a hermit who has been living in seclusion for a long time. So who could she be?

Ningguang then investigated the other people in the Hall of Rebirth and discovered a person who seemed to be a reclusive immortal, Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth!

Speaking of Zhongli, many people know him, praise his erudition, and know his great name. Everyone may be discussing him, but no one knows where Zhongli came from, who his family was, or what he did in the past.

Well, no wonder Li Yue went straight to the Hall of Rebirth after arriving in Liyue Harbor. It turns out there was a hermit inside the Hall of Rebirth!

The small Hall of Rebirth actually concealed two immortals, and she had no idea before she condensed her light! It was truly unacceptable.

However, none of that is the main point right now. The main point is to preside over the upcoming ceremony to invite the immortals. The arrival of the Emperor is the most important thing. After the ceremony, she can go and greet the immortals in the Hall of Rebirth.

Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Ningguang looked up at the sun and checked the time.

"The auspicious time has come!"

After announcing this to the surrounding crowd, Ningguang spread her hands, and an amber-colored gem appeared out of thin air. Under Ningguang's control, it transformed into a stream of light and directly converged on the incense burner surrounded by seafood that Zhongli disliked. A golden light burst from the incense burner and shot into the sky, causing the sky to immediately become turbulent.

Li Yue looked up at the swirling clouds in the sky, pondering what Zhong Li would do next. He had exposed Zhong Li in front of him before, so would Zhong Li change his plans?

Under Li Yue's expectant gaze, a divine dragon wrapped in golden light descended from the sky.

As expected, they changed their plans and didn't fall to their deaths!

Li Yue nodded. After all, he had gone to such lengths, and Ke Qing already knew about it. It would be strange if Zhong Li didn't change anything.

Wait, why is this dragon coming towards me?!

Li Yue, who was waiting to see what Zhong Li would do next, discovered that after landing, the golden dragon did not stay at the altar, but instead pounced directly on Li Yue.

Wait! Zhongli, what are you doing?!

Li Yue looked at the dragon rushing towards her in horror and chose to run away without hesitation.

In an instant, Li Yue disappeared from her original spot and appeared high in the sky, using spiritual energy to pave the way and start running away.

However, the dragon spotted Li Yue immediately, turned around and ascended, chasing after the direction Li Yue was fleeing. Its speed was so fast that even Li Yue, the Grim Reaper, was stunned. To prevent Zhong Li from doing anything strange, he could only continue running away with a series of Instant Steps. But the dragon locked onto him and chased after him frantically.

Thus, a miraculous scene unfolded in the sky above Yujingtai: Li Yue not only disappeared and reappeared in an instant, but was also chased by a golden dragon.

Damn it! Zhongli, what exactly are you trying to do? I just told you your plan and said a few bad things about you occasionally, why are you chasing after me like this!

As Li Yue ran, she mentally ranted and rave, while on the ground, the onlookers gasped in surprise.

"Who is that? Why is the Emperor chasing after him?!"

"Could it be that they are the enemy?! Is the Emperor pursuing the enemy?"
