A golden light screen appeared, directly blocking the gale summoned by Liu Yun. The gale crashed against the shield and scattered, blowing all the water in the artificial pool on Qunyu Pavilion away. In an instant, a localized downpour occurred below Qunyu Pavilion.
"Truly worthy of being called an immortal. With just a casual strike, the power it unleashed almost shattered my shield."
Li Yue stood behind the shield, looking at Liu Yun with a gentle smile.
"Nonsense! Your shield didn't even make a sound!"
Liu Yun glared at Li Yue's shield, gritting his teeth.
"This is the power of the Emperor!"
"That's right, this is the power I took from the Rock King Emperor. This power really makes me feel safe."
Li Yue glanced at everyone present, then nodded slightly to Xiao.
"It's really disappointing. I was hoping you would kill each other, but none of you died. As expected, immortals who have lived for thousands of years are not so easy to fool."
"Yes, yes, I tried so hard, but the immortals only captured people and didn't kill them. It's really a pity."
Wendy quickly spoke up, adding her own dramatic flair.
"But it doesn't matter. I only had Venti do this in my spare time as an experiment, because in my current state, even if all the Liyue immortals and the Seven Stars came together, they wouldn't be a match for me!"
After Li Yue finished speaking, a blue light burst forth from his body, transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky. The air in the entire Qunyu Pavilion seemed to thicken, and everyone present felt an immense pressure descend upon them.
Wendy cooperated by pulling out a harp from behind her and starting to play background music. Unfortunately, the instrument's sound was rather light, and the atmosphere, despite the background music, wasn't very tense.
The immortals were relatively unaffected by the pressure released by Li Yue; such pressure had little impact on them. However, for the ordinary people in the Jade Pavilion and the Seven Stars, this pressure was a heavy burden.
"Could it be that you have completely mastered the Emperor's power!"
Ke Qing very cooperatively asked the question.
"That's right, Yuheng Star's judgment is as accurate as ever."
"Hmph, you don't need to mock me like that!"
Ke Qing found Li Yue despicable. Even now, he was still mocking her, implying that she had accurately chosen him and Zhong Li, two great villains!
"No, I'm not being sarcastic, it's a genuine compliment. After all, you, Yuheng Star, are the first Seven Stars I've ever met. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a purple bolt of lightning appeared in front of Li Yue, and the tip of the Dragon's Roar sword in its sheath pressed against the golden shield.
"Oh? Are you angry?"
Taking advantage of her height, Li Yue looked down at Ke Qing, whose face was full of anger as she held her sword against the shield.
"Ke Qing! Get out of the way!"
Keqing vanished from her spot in a flash of lightning, and a white arrow shot from a distance, striking the shield directly before exploding and creating a shower of ice spikes that froze the ground outside the shield.
"Even I couldn't break through it? It really is the power of the Emperor!"
"Oh? Is this Gan Yu, Yue Haiting's secretary?"
Li Yue looked at Gan Yu, who was drawing back the bowstring.
"Let me do it."
Zhongli stepped forward.
“I know the immortals better, let me deal with them.”
"Zhongli, you're actually willing to take action? That's wonderful."
Li Yue smiled gently as Zhong Li stepped out of Li Yue's shield. The immortals immediately surrounded him, and Gan Yu also changed her target to Zhong Li. Li Yue possessed the power of an emperor, so she could not break through the shield. Therefore, she would kill the guy who came out of the shield first.
Moreover, it was precisely because of this guy's sixty-year-long lurking that the Emperor fell. It was all Zhongli's fault!
Despite the hatred in the eyes of the immortals, Zhongli remained calm.
"Fellow immortals, this place is too small for you to fight. Let's go to Mount Tianheng for a battle."
With that, he jumped down from next to the Qunyu Pavilion.
"Chase!"
The immortals also jumped down without hesitation.
Ke Qing was surprised to see all the immortals running after Zhong Li, and was a little confused for a moment.
No, I know you hate Zhongli, and I hate him too, but are you really not going to leave a few of your people here? There's a guy here with the power of an emperor, do you really expect us to fight him?
"It seems you've been abandoned. The immortals have decided that killing Zhongli is a higher priority than protecting you. After all, even they are futile in the face of the power of the Rock King Emperor. Rather than wasting time with me like this, it's better to deal with the arrogant Zhongli first."
Li Yue's sarcastic words made Ke Qing and Ning Guang's expressions even worse.
"Even without the help of immortals, we can still withstand you!"
Ke Qing could not utter a defiant roar.
"Is that so? Then Nasita, let them witness the power to bring them despair!"
"Yes, father."
Nasita stepped out of the shield and clapped her hands together.
The Jade Pavilion, floating in the sky, suddenly began to tremble. Giant trees burst through the floor tiles of the Jade Pavilion and grew vigorously, transforming into a forest that spread towards Ke Qing and Ning Guang!
"Ningguang, step back!"
Keqing told Ningguang, who was weaker in combat, to retreat, while she charged forward with her sword.
"The light of the sword is like mine, cutting off everything!"
Keqing transformed into lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages, and slashed at the creeping trees one by one.
But every time she cut down a tree, a new trunk would rise up. She slashed eleven times in a short moment, but she couldn't reduce the number of trees by even a fraction.
The forest rapidly spread towards the buildings on Qunyu Pavilion, even directly breaking through them.
This place, which was already small, suddenly became even smaller, with barely enough room to stand.
Just a few seconds later, Keqing and Ningguang were trapped by trees on a paved area that was only a few square meters in size.
"See? Your power is worthless in front of my daughter!"
Li Yue appeared in the sky, standing on the air and looking down at Ke Qing and Ning Guang.
"Li Yue, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ningguang stood behind Keqing, looked up at Li Yue, and asked a question.
"You're asking me what I want to do?"
"That's right. You said you seized the Emperor's power in order to reach a higher realm. If you wanted to advance further after seizing the Emperor's power, you should have seized the power of other gods. But instead, you came back and attacked us. This doesn't match what you said before. What is your true purpose?"
"As expected of Tianquan Star, they are able to analyze things to this extent."
Li Yue continued to smile.
"My true purpose has never changed from the beginning: to ascend the throne in the sky!"
"But what does the throne have to do with us?"
"Of course it does matter!"
"The throne of the sky rules over all of Teyvat, and you will naturally be my subjects as well!"
"Could it be that?"
Ke Qing thought of a possibility and her eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right!"
Li Yue turned to look down at Liyue Harbor.
"Liyue, what a wonderful country! The Geo Archon has led this country for over three thousand years, making it so prosperous. Isn't this a ready-made kingdom prepared just for me!"
"You actually want to usurp the Emperor's throne!"
What does "usurpation" mean?
"The Geo Archon is dead, and Liyue is leaderless. Doesn't this Geo Kingdom need a new Geo Archon?"
Li Yue opened her arms as if to hug someone.
"Although you have lost your emperor, you still have me! I can certainly become your new ruler!"
"This is unacceptable..."
"Indeed!"
Ke Qing was about to say it was impossible when she was drowned out by the voice next to her.
Keqing and Ningguang turned their heads and saw that Zhongli had returned with the immortals. However, compared to the other two, Zhongli was completely unharmed and even looked clean, while the immortals were covered in dirt and looked very disheveled.
"You must be joking, immortals..."
Under Ke Qing's watchful gaze, Zhongli led the immortals forward and bowed.
"A nation cannot be without a ruler for a day, and Liyue cannot be without a new Geo Archon for a day. I have reached a consensus with the immortals of Liyue. The immortals of Liyue are willing to worship Li Yue as the new ruler of Liyue. Please, Li Yue, ascend to the position of Geo Archon!"
"Please, Immortal Li Yue, ascend to the position of Rock God!"
The immortals behind Zhongli also clasped their hands in a gesture of supplication.
Li Yue stared blankly at Zhongli, who was bowing to the immortals, and it took her a while to react.
Zhongli, you schemed against me!
103. As the Rock King, I only do three things!
"Madam, what brings you to Liyue?"
Inside the Northern Bank, the young master looked at the lady who appeared in front of him with some confusion. He was in charge of the Liyue matter, so what was she doing here?
The woman did not answer his question, but instead handed him a document.
"A letter from Liyue to the nations of Teyvat?"
The young man looked at the documents the lady handed him.
"Just wait and see, you'll see."
The woman crossed her arms, exuding arrogance.
The young master didn't say anything, but looked down and opened the document to read it. After reading it, he looked up with a blank expression.
