"So, what exactly did you do? Why did you suddenly decide to kill the Rock King Emperor? And Li Yue, why did you transform into my appearance? My friend, don't you know that if you do something bad in my form, I'll be the one who suffers?"
Yes, you'll be the one who suffers, but that's exactly the effect I wanted!
Li Yue stared at Wendy.
"Because you're from Mondstadt. At worst, you can just fly back to Mondstadt. No matter how powerful Liyue is, can they just cross borders to arrest someone? After all, it wasn't you who killed the Emperor."
"So, you really did something bad with my face, didn't you?"
Wendy stared speechlessly at Li Yue. He already knew everything Li Yue had done through the wind, including using his face and even his identity as a wind spirit to sow discord between the Liyue Masters and the Liyue Septim.
He understood that this was Zhongli's intention, but why did you have to use my face? This is putting me on the wanted list too. I was just laughing at Zhongli, the God of Rock, for being wanted by his own human subordinates, and now it's my turn?
"This is all the Emperor's idea. Just consider it as me asking for your help. I'll send you more wine from this other world later, okay?"
"Alright, for the sake of our good friendship, the magnanimous bard will forgive you!"
So what if I'm wanted? Even the Rock King and the Grandmaster are wanted, so what if I, Venti, am wanted?
Wendy patted her chest, indicating that she was perfectly fine! The otherworldly sake wasn't the point; the main thing was that she, Wendy, was taking care of her friends!
"Now that you're here in person, I don't need to transform into your appearance anymore. I can just let you make your appearance. Let me explain in detail what happened."
Wendy watched the whole thing from beginning to end and knew exactly what had happened, but she still listened attentively to Li Yue's explanation. However, she would occasionally wink at Zhong Li while listening, and Zhong Li's slightly clenched right hand revealed his inner turmoil.
After all, it doesn't matter who comes, as long as it's not Wendy, who's a source of amusement. But it just so happens that it's Wendy, who's a source of amusement. In Zhongli's opinion, Wendy is a pure source of amusement, and he goes wherever there's excitement!
Wendy, who had pretended to listen carefully to Li Yue's entire action plan, couldn't help but ask Li Yue a question.
"So, the Geo Archon wants to withdraw from Liyue's stage and let Liyue become ruled by humans?"
"That's right, the Emperor wants to rule by man, but unfortunately, I think he's being too optimistic. Human greed and the environment of Teyvat mean that rule by man is absolutely impossible on the continent of Teyvat. Otherwise, Mondstadt would serve as a cautionary tale!"
Just kidding. It's not just Teyvat; Earth, the planet where ordinary humans live, has never lacked trouble throughout history.
"What does this have to do with Mondstadt?"
Wendy was speechless. Why was she suddenly singled out?
"Because if the Emperor completely relinquishes power, Liyue will soon become a runaway horse. This commercially driven country will soon become a large corporation monopolized by capital, just like Mondstadt, which was once ruled by nobles."
"Mondstadt is said to be a free country, and the Anemo Archon has said that he will give freedom to the Mondstadt people. However, Mondstadt has had problems in history, with nobles ruling dictatorships. In the end, it was the Anemo Archon who came out to guide humanity to set things right. In the end, it is still the gods who need to protect us."
Wendy scratched his head, realizing he couldn't really refute it. Mondstadt always relied on him to cover for them when something happened. Although Wendy's personality was such that he wouldn't do anything himself but would only guide from the sidelines, wasn't that still a form of taking action?
"And the same will happen in Liyue. After the Emperor completely hands over power to humans, the Seven Stars will become the biggest beneficiaries. They may be fine in this generation, but can you guarantee that there won't be any problems with the next generation of Seven Stars? What will happen then? The Emperor can't step in and have the immortals suppress them?"
"In the end, isn't it still relying on the power of the immortals to supervise? Isn't that still divine or immortal governance? What's the difference between this and the current situation? Unless all the immortals never interfere in Liyue's affairs again, and Gan Yu, the secretary of the Seven Stars, also leaves Liyue Harbor, it's not entirely human governance at all."
While Zhongli was around, Li Yue gave him a good talking-to.
After listening, Zhongli fell into deep thought.
As a modern time traveler, Li Yue can easily shut people up by simply copying other people's comments or even directly copying and pasting bullet comments on Zhihu, Dayan, or even red dating apps. Do you think you can outdo the vast number of netizens?
"Doesn't that mean the Emperor's decision was wrong?"
As a Liyue native, Hu Tao expressed her question.
"Who knows? After all, it was the Emperor's decision. He has lived for six thousand years, while I am just a human who has lived for twenty years. How could I possibly fathom the Emperor's thoughts? Besides, I am not a Liyue person. How Liyue develops is essentially none of my business."
Li Yue shrugged and offered a completely irresponsible assessment.
Am I wrong?
However, Zhongli really started to reflect. He had been with Liyue for over three thousand years, and the things that happened in Mondstadt's history did not happen in Liyue because he was always there. But if you think about it simply, if he were no longer there, would the things that happened in Mondstadt's history happen in Liyue?
"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. That's for the Emperor to think about. Let's talk about our plan."
"Yes, yes, what's our plan?"
Wendy stopped thinking about the idea of rule by man. Mondstadt was just like that anyway; he would always go back to cover for him when something happened. This had been the norm ever since, so what else could he do but continue like this? Instead of worrying about it, he should think about what to do next.
"Now that the immortals have entered Liyue Harbor, what are we going to do next? Do I have a role to play?"
Now that she's involved, she might as well go all the way. As the Mondstadt Film Emperor, Wendy can't wait to start performing.
"Of course!"
Li Yue raised an eyebrow.
"I've assigned you a very important task."
"What mission? Tell me quickly!"
Wendy's eyes lit up. Great!
Zhongli, who was standing nearby, felt a wave of dizziness. Letting this guy get involved, especially in such an important arrangement, felt like the end was nigh!
"The immortals will soon be fighting the Seven Stars. It's only a matter of time before the Seven Stars are defeated. When the Seven Stars are defeated, the internal conflicts in Liyue will be relieved."
"Hmm? You mean alleviate?"
Wendy was a little curious.
"That's right. The conflict between the Sages and the Seven Stars was instigated by Wendy. But with Xiao around, the Sages definitely won't kill the Seven Stars. As long as they communicate, the misunderstandings hidden in these conflicts will be resolved. And that's when we villains will step in!"
Li Yue pinched her chin.
"I have carefully considered what the Emperor said to me back then and have come to a conclusion."
Zhong Li also looked at Li Yue, wanting to know what Li Yue had figured out this time.
"The Emperor has involved both the Immortals and the Seven Stars, so he can't expect them to fight each other. Since the Immortals are definitely stronger than the Seven Stars, the one testing both the Immortals and the Seven Stars must be the other side!"
Well, as expected of someone I had high hopes for, they even knew that I wanted to involve Fools...
"Then we are the third party!"
Zhong Li immediately stopped praising Li Yue and stared at her with a puzzled expression.
How did you arrive at this conclusion? What I wanted was the fate of the Fools.
"Before I came to Teyvat, this situation also occurred in the history of my world: two incompatible factions within a country fought each other internally, but when faced with a powerful external enemy, they would put aside their differences and cooperate to fight against the enemy. For Liyue now, we are that powerful external enemy!"
"After all, there are very few options for this. The people who would cause trouble for Liyue at this time are either foreigners with ulterior motives or us, the group of naturally evil villains. But foreigners are definitely out of the question. For example, that toy seller we met before. You can't expect him to fight against the entire Liyue, so we can only rely on ourselves."
I was really counting on that toy retailer.
Zhongli couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"I killed the Rock King Emperor in front of the Seven Stars and used the Rock King Emperor's power, demonstrating my strength. Therefore, after the Seven Stars and the immortals fight, it will be time for us to appear as villains!"
"After obtaining the Emperor's power, we villains have spent the last few days digesting and mastering it, and are now preparing to counterattack Liyue!"
"After all, the Geo Archon is dead, and Liyue is leaderless. The Geo Kingdom of Liyue needs a new Geo Archon, doesn't it?"
Li Yue stood up, opened her arms, and made a hugging gesture.
"Although they have lost their emperor, they still have me! I can absolutely become their new ruler!"
Wendy was surprised.
"Li Yue, you want to become the Rock God?"
As Zhongli listened to Wendy's words, he suddenly recalled what Li Yue had just said about the problem of rule by man. A flash of inspiration struck him, and his eyes lit up!
According to Li Yue, human rule is definitely not going to work, but he does want to retire. This means Liyue will need a new Geo Archon, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Li Yue become the Geo Archon!
She has excellent character (she healed the World Tree and the Great Tree of Compassion), is friendly (she cares about ordinary people like the little sister in the Hall of Rebirth), is grateful (she helped Xiao get rid of his karma), and is not a Teyvat, so there is no need to worry about wear and tear. Even her name is Li Yue, Li Yue Liyue. Now she has her own power. This child, it would be an injustice if she didn't become the Geo Archon!
Zhong Li looked at Li Yue with satisfaction.
"How could that be? We're the villains, you know that."
Li Yue continued to explain to Wendy.
"We're going to go up there and show off, then get defeated by the Seven Stars and the Immortals working together. But in the process, we'll cause them a lot of trouble, almost making them fail, and then they'll fight back with all their might to defeat us. We'll retreat with serious injuries, and they'll form a deep friendship during the battle and eventually reconcile with each other. That will be considered as completing the test that the Emperor asked me to give them. As for what happens to Liyue Harbor afterward, that's none of our business."
"So what is the important task assigned to me?"
Wendy was filled with anticipation.
"While we're showing off, you'll be responsible for playing the piano and providing background music!"
The despicable and shameless Li Yue gang has occupied Guiliyuan!
In Liyue Harbor, the immortals acted very quickly. Led by Liuyun, they entered Liyue Harbor and headed straight for the first star, Keqing, who was patrolling the streets.
Because Keqing was always out on the move, she was the easiest to find.
Xiao was the fastest. After a series of green lights, Xiao passed through the Thousand Rock Army and instantly appeared in front of Keqing, revealing his true form and pointing his sword, Pu Yuan, at Keqing's neck.
"do not move!"
Ke Qing, who was still on her way, suddenly stopped and looked at the green spearhead pointing at her throat, and couldn't help but swallow.
"Lady Keqing!"
When Chiiwa Jun saw that Keqing was suddenly being pointed at with a gun, he hurriedly tried to step forward.
"Stay where you are!"
Keqing quickly raised her hand to signal everyone to stop, because in her line of sight, she saw three figures on the rooftops on both sides of the street. Two of them looked like port workers in Liyue Harbor, but the highlights in their hair proved that they were not ordinary people. The third figure looked ethereal, and there was a boy pointing a gun at her in front of her.
As a member of the Jade Balance Star, Ke Qing immediately guessed the identities of these people.
"Fairy!"
"Hmph, it seems the current Seven Stars still have some discernment. Even though we've become human, they were able to recognize us immediately."
Liu Yun was the first to speak, and she adjusted her glasses.
"No, you should say you were prepared long ago."
Keqing was taken aback, then nodded slightly. After taking control of Liyue Harbor, Qixing went to discuss with Qixing's secretary, Ganyu. As a half-immortal under the Geo Archon, she could be said to be the representative of the immortal forces in Liyue Harbor. The immortals would definitely know about such a big event as the Geo Archon's murder, so the Qixing of Liyue were also prepared to meet with the immortals.
"Indeed, we have long been prepared to meet with you all."
"Sure enough!"
Liu Yun frowned. These mortals had long been prepared to ambush the immortals, but she hadn't expected that the immortals would disguise themselves as humans and infiltrate Liyue Harbor to catch them off guard. This was evident from the look of surprise on Keqing's face just now. Their choice to disguise themselves as humans and infiltrate Liyue Harbor was the right one.
"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, take her away! This is just the first one!"
Xiao nodded indifferently, the tip of his spear touching Keqing's body. A green light enveloped Keqing, and then the two of them disappeared in a beam of green light. Liuyun and the other two also disappeared.
"Lady Keqing!"
