Genshin Impact, but the chat group

The murmurs of the crowd brought Ningguang, who was still completely bewildered, back to her senses.

What's going on? Why is the Emperor chasing this immortal? And why is this immortal running away? Could it be that there's something wrong with Immortal Li Yue?

For the Emperor to personally intervene on such an important occasion, does this mean Li Yue has a very serious problem?

Regardless, let's help the Emperor first. Even if he's an immortal, he's not as powerful as the Emperor in Liyue, is he?

"Qianyan Army, heed my command! Help the Emperor stop him..."

Before he could finish speaking, the dragon in the sky suddenly accelerated and pounced on Li Yue, grabbing him. However, after grabbing Li Yue, the dragon suddenly convulsed, and all the golden light on its body was absorbed into Li Yue's body. Then, as if it had lost all its strength, the dragon released Li Yue and fell directly from the sky, crashing onto the altar.

Ningguang was stunned halfway through her sentence, Keqing was also stunned because she didn't know why the Emperor was chasing Li Yue, and Li Yue in the air was also stunned, until Nasita, who had been puzzled the whole time, said something.

"What? Li Yue... assassinated Emperor Yan?"

Then, an uproar ensued!

94. Zhongli, we've got the Emperor's power, we can retreat now!

Under the blue sky.

Li Yue opened her eyes and looked at the gray and white scene around her. She had entered her inner world. It seemed that the Yama Blade had pulled her in.

Looking around, Li Yue didn't see the Yama Blade or the Great Tree King on the edge of the floating island, but she knew where they would be.

At the center of this floating island, a golden beam of light is radiating outwards, visible from a great distance.

Li Yue quickly moved forward and saw the situation where the golden light was.

Yama, the Great Tree King, and Wolf Brother Andrius were all gathered here, and opposite them was a man dressed in divine armor, radiating golden light.

Morax!

All three recognized the man before them. Although he was wearing a hood and a mask, one of the three was Li Yue's half-body, while the other two were demon gods of the same era. Morax's power was all too clear.

However, aside from Yamato, the first thing that came to mind when the Great Tree King and Andrius saw each other was...

Huh? Morax is dead too?

Is the Seven Kingdoms already facing such difficulties? Even Morax, the oldest war god, has died? Has Teyvat really come to this?

However, the Great Tree King and Andrius were unsure whether Morax was hiding his identity like them, so they dared not greet him rashly until Li Yue arrived.

"Li Yue, you're here! Come and see, there's suddenly a new person inside your soul."

Yama-no-Tsurugi pretended to know nothing and greeted Li Yue, while Li Yue's lips twitched slightly upon seeing Morax.

Okay, okay, Zhongli, are you playing me like this? I do want the Geo element, but I didn't mean to destroy the Geo Archon's power in public! You're just messing with me like this, all I did was say a few bad things about you!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you know this person?"

Yama-no-Tō asked with a curious look.

You want to watch me have fun too? Oh wait, you're my other half, of course you'd want to watch me have fun.

Li Yue glanced at Yama's Blade, then looked helplessly at Morax.

"This is none other than the famous Rock Ruler, the Rock King Morax."

"what!"

Yama-no-Tsurugi opened its mouth wide in an exaggerated manner.

Meanwhile, the Great Tree King and Andrius looked at Morax with suspicion. Dude, what's going on? Aren't you going to play this game where you don't hide your identity?

"How did the soul of the Rock King Emperor end up in your body?"

"I went to Liyue's Summoning Ceremony, and after this Geo Archon appeared, he suddenly pounced on me and died right in front of me."

Li Yue spread her hands, her face full of helplessness.

"Thanks to this Geo Archon, I have probably become the enemy of the entire Liyue now."

Is Morax really going this wild?

Neither the Great Tree King nor Andrius doubted Li Yue; they immediately looked at Morax, wanting to know what Morax had to say.

"I'm sorry I didn't inform you in advance, I'm sorry you were startled."

An incredibly calm voice came from beneath the mask, seemingly specially processed, unlike Zhong Li's usual voice.

"You now know that I am Morax, the ruler of the Rock Kingdom, so please allow me to explain my reasons for doing so."

"Please say."

Facing the Rock King Emperor who had revealed his identity, Li Yue naturally had to be polite, a completely different attitude from his usual one towards Zhong Li.

“From the day you entered Liyue, I noticed you, a traveler from outside Teyvat, and I also noticed everything you did in Teyvat.”

Morax looked at the Great Tree King and Andrius beside him as he spoke. He knew about the Great Tree King, but he didn't expect that there was also Andrius. However, it did not affect his operation.

"Your character is excellent. Even after gaining power, you never thought of harming others. You even helped Jinpeng. You are an outstanding young man."

"But what does that have to do with you dying on my body in public?"

Li Yue asked with a puzzled look.

Morax tilted his head slightly.

"I have lived for over six thousand years in this world, and it has been three thousand seven hundred years since I co-founded Liyue with the immortals."

"Even a rock that is not several years old will be worn down by the erosion of time. I just keep telling myself that the day when it is worn down and cracks appear has not yet come."

"Until one drizzly day, I was passing above Liyue Harbor when I heard a merchant praising his subordinate: 'You have done your duty. Now, go and rest.'"

"At that time, I stood in the sky above Liyue Harbor for a long time, constantly asking myself: Have I completed my duty?"

"But when I started to consider stepping down from my divine position, I realized that I still had many reasons why I couldn't leave."

"Liyue, the land that walks with the gods, is it ready to enter the next era? I intend to create an opportunity to observe carefully before making a decision."

"So you orchestrated this faked death?"

Li Yue gave me a look that said, "I know what you're going to say."

“That’s right. I faked my death to plunge the entire Liyue into chaos, and then observe how the people of Liyue would react.”

Morax looked down at Li Yue.

"But your appearance caused some problems with my plans."

"You mean, I told Liyue Qixing that you would fake your death?"

“That’s right. I didn’t expect you to guess my plan and tell Seven Stars about it. Even if it was just a joke, my death would be less effective for Seven Stars because of your joke. So I changed my plan, and the key to that plan is you.”

"You possess considerable power and an excellent character. With your help, I can stage a real death. In return, I am willing to lend you my power. The me that appears here is a part of my consciousness that I have condensed using a special secret method. In a sense, it is my clone. This clone can lend you the power you desire. Haven't you always wanted a Geo Eye?"

Morax extended his right hand towards Li Yue.

"Compared to the Eye of God, the power of the Rock Demon God is more convenient. I want to use this as a price to sign this contract with you, although this contract comes relatively late."

"I see!"

Li Yue rubbed his chin. He thought to himself, "As expected of Zhongli. When he was subduing the Great Tree King and Andrius, Li Yue relied on Aizen's Hogyoku. But when it came to Zhongli, he delivered himself into this mess. This old man is really something, he knows so much!"

“I can indeed help you create a perfect death scenario, but in that case, I might not be able to appear in Liyue Harbor under the name Li Yue anymore.”

"That's true, but I believe that with your intelligence, you can easily solve this problem."

Morax glanced at the Great Tree King beside him. With the Great Tree King there, he didn't think Li Yue needed to worry about this issue.

Even if he's worried, he won't care. Just consider it a small punishment for you teasing me and talking bad about me all this time!

You always find excuses to badmouth me!

Alright, alright, so you want to play like this? Since you want to play like this, then I won't be polite. Don't blame me later!

After pretending to think for a moment, Li Yue agreed to Morax's contract.

"Since the Emperor trusts me so much, I cannot let him down!"

"Then the contract is established!"

The light around Morax faded, making him look somewhat ordinary, while some of the ends of Li Yue's hair turned a rosy orange, adding another shade to his hair.

"Then, I'll go out first and confirm your death, Your Majesty. This won't be easy. I can't do it alone. I'll have to bring some friends with me. After all, you are the most ancient martial god. If I could take you down so easily by myself, then the entire Liyue would be no match for me. That would be too unreasonable."

"Go ahead, I believe in your wisdom."

Morax was very satisfied with Li Yue's meticulousness.

After speaking with Morax, Li Yue opened her eyes again and returned to reality. Standing high in the sky, looking down at the Thousand Rock Army gathered on the Jade Capital Platform, Li Yue's lips curled up, and her expression turned into a gentle smile.

"Zhongli, the power of the Rock King Emperor has been seized. We can leave now."

While hiding in the Rebirth Hall, Zhongli was observing Yujingtai while drinking tea. He immediately spat out his tea.

95. I will stand above the heavens!

Zhongli, you chose this path, so don't blame me. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a good ending!

On the Jade Capital Platform, Ningguang and Keqing, the Seven Stars of Li Yue, gazed at Li Yue in the sky with astonishment in their eyes.

"What exactly is going on?"

Ke Qing, who knew Li Yue and was even the one who brought Li Yue to Yujingtai, was the most surprised.

Looking at the dragon corpse in the center of the altar, and then looking up at Li Yue in the sky with a gentle smile, especially at what Li Yue had just said, Ke Qing felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her mind.

"Could it be that...."

"Oh?"

Li Yue looked down at Ke Qing.

"It seems you've already figured it out, Keqing."

"From the very beginning, this was your plan! No, it should be said that it was your and Zhongli's plan! Right!"

Ke Qing stared coldly at Li Yue in the sky, saying something that left Ning Guang beside her utterly puzzled.

"Ke Qing, what exactly do you mean by that? What do you know about this situation?"

Ningguang felt as if she had been kept in the dark, while Keqing seemed to know exactly what was going on.

“Ningguang, a month ago, I talked to this guy named Li Yue about the Emperor. He told me that the Emperor would fake his death.”

"What? The Emperor faked his death?"
