"Knowing that his time was coming to an end, the Geo Archon of Liyue passed the throne to Immortal Li Yue. Immortal Li Yue officially became the second Geo Archon?"

"No, what's going on?"

The young master wanted to find the answer in the lady's face, because he had been at the bank for the past two days and hadn't been able to leave the house at all. Just how perverse had the people of Liyue become in order to restrict him?

It's outrageous that they came to check on his son's whereabouts after only half an hour! Under these circumstances, he has no way to take any action in Liyue; he's so pitiful.

Now, the lady comes to his door and tells him directly that Liyue has changed gods, and the new god is the one who killed the Geo Archon. What kind of magical reality is this? Is he still asleep?

"The situation is exactly what it sounds like: Liyue has a new god. This is the official letter informing other countries, but it hasn't been announced yet. I only received it as an envoy from the Kingdom of Winter, so I'm here to tell you."

Because of the collective defection of the immortals, Ningguang and Keqing were powerless to resist. Li Yue was completely dumbfounded and was elected as the second Geo Archon. Didn't you just say you wanted to be the ruler of Liyue? Of course you will! No problem at all! As for why the immortals collectively turned against him, Li Yue could guess without even thinking that it was Zhongli's doing. He must have revealed his identity in front of the immortals and then asked them to put him in power.

Zhongli also knew how to make excuses. He even told Li Yue directly that it was all the Emperor's will. He was just a lowly guest of the Hall of Rebirth, how could he possibly defeat so many immortals? It was all because the Emperor appeared and made the immortals cooperate with him.

Alright, alright, you've learned all my moves, haven't you? Indecisiveness is the Emperor's way.

In particular, Liu Yun directly told Li Yue that if Qi Xing resisted, she could suppress them directly, making Li Yue suspect that she wanted to regain face because she had lost face in front of Ke Qing before.

Ningguang, knowing the situation was settled, pulled Keqing along to express her submission and willingness to work under Li Yue.

Then came this letter from the nations of Gautvat.

"What about the Heart of God? Should I go find the new Rock God to get it?"

Young Master recalled the scene of Li Yue killing Yan Wang Dijun and leaving Yujingtai. It seems a bit difficult to fight?

"The Heart of God is in our hands."

The woman extended her right hand and revealed a golden chess piece.

"Ok?"

The young master looked at the chess pieces in the lady's hand and became even more confused.

"No, why is the Heart of God in your hands?"

"Of course I got it from Morax."

"How did you manage to get it? I should be in charge of Liyue!"

"You are indeed in charge of Liyue, but have you truly taken responsibility?"

The young man, who was being questioned by the lady, was taken aback, and then spread his hands.

"I'm trapped inside the Northern Bank, what can I do?"

"They checked whether I was there in the morning and at night, but Qian Yanjun was always at my door. The debt collectors outside kept calling me to deal with things. How am I supposed to go?"

"I didn't expect Liyue to target me like this. They check if I'm here every half hour. How could I possibly run out to do something in half an hour?"

"So I came, and I also got my hands on the Heart of God."

The lady put away her divine heart.

"Alright, I've delivered the message to you. I'm going to send the Heart of God back to Winter. By the way, Liyue Harbor has been unsealed. You're free to move around now. You can do whatever you want until the Queen's new orders arrive."

After saying that, the lady turned and left the Northern Bank, leaving the young man standing there for a while before he finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"So, what exactly did I come to Liyue for?"

Just as the young master was having doubts, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the Northern Bank. Puzzled, the young master pushed open the door of the Northern Bank and found that all the Liyue people on the street were moving towards Jade Peak, and the number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers who had been patrolling had also decreased significantly, returning to normal levels.

The young master randomly grabbed an older man who was heading towards Yujingtai.

"Hey bro, what happened?"

"Qianyan Army said that Lord Qixing has something important to announce at Yujingtai, and we are just getting ready to go there."

After saying that, the older brother broke free from the young master's grasp and followed the crowd toward Yujingtai.

The young master glanced at the crowd, then, after showing some consideration to the staff of the Northern Bank, he moved towards Yujingtai along with the flow of people.

Along the way, the young master observed the situation on the streets. Compared to two days ago, the layout of the streets of Liyue seemed to have remained unchanged.

Oh no, there have been changes. When the young master passed by the notice board, he noticed that there were no more bounty notices on the board, which used to have four.

That's right. Now that Li Yue has become the new Rock God, there's no way there would be a bounty on the Rock God. That would be going against the heavens!

Following the flow of people, the young master squeezed into the Jade Capital Terrace. From afar, he saw Ke Qing and Ning Guang standing on the high ground.

However, Keqing and Ningguang were not standing at a high position today. Behind them were three steps. On the highest step was a huge golden throne, which was obviously prepared for the person in the highest position. On the middle step were three very noble-looking wooden chairs. On the lowest step, there was nothing, just an ordinary-looking step.

What kind of layout is this?

The young master had to figure out what the three steps with chairs on the top two were for, but he really couldn't guess what the third one was for.

With the number of people standing on Yujingtai reaching its maximum, Keqing ordered the Qianyan Army to begin maintaining order.

Ningguang took a deep breath and slowly walked forward. Just like the previous invocation ceremony, she was the one to preside over it this time.

"Fellow citizens of Liyue, I am Ningguang of Tianquan. I have gathered you here today to announce something of utmost importance to Liyue."

Everyone's attention was drawn to Ningguang because of her speech.

"Fellow citizens of Liyue, do you still remember the assassination attempt on the Emperor here a few days ago?"

"Remember!!"

Everyone shouted.

"That Zhongli is a sinner of Liyue!"

......

Ningguang's expression stiffened, and she quickly reached out and pressed down, and everyone quieted down.

"That was actually a misunderstanding, a test from the Emperor for us!"

???

The people of Liyue present all had question marks appearing above their heads.

"As we all know, Liyue was founded by the Emperor 3,700 years ago, and the Emperor himself has lived for over 6,000 years. He is the oldest god on the Teyvat continent. But even gods are subject to destiny. The Emperor is the oldest god, so not long ago, he sensed the destiny of his own. However, he was worried about the people of Liyue, so he entrusted his subordinate, Immortal Li Yue, to cooperate with him in staging a play."

Ningguang's voice was both expressive and moving.

"The Emperor loves us. To him, we are the children he raised himself. So he wanted to know in his final moments whether he, as the parent who has cared for us for thousands of years, was worthy of our love. It's hard to imagine that the Emperor, whom we have always respected and loved, would have such thoughts."

"So he and Immortal Li Yue staged an assassination attempt, just to see how we would evaluate the Emperor after his death, and to know whether he, as the god who loved the Emperor, had been a good match for him for more than three thousand years."

"After all, if someone is dissatisfied with the Emperor, it is only at this time that they will truly express it."

Once someone you disliked falls from grace, it's easy for them to kick you when you're down, isn't it? This method of clearing Li Yue's name was actually Zhongli's idea for Ningguang. He'll stop at nothing to make Li Yue the Rock King!

"And we, the people of Liyue, have also given our answer."

"Well done! The Emperor is the most well done god in all of Teyvat! He is the most revered god among us Liyue people!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, which immediately sparked a response from everyone.

"The Emperor is the best god in all of Teyvat!"

"Our Emperor is our eternal Emperor!!"

The cheers filled Zhongli, who was standing in the shadows behind, with immense satisfaction.

"That's right!"

Ningguang said in a loud voice.

"The Emperor is the patriarch of us Liyue people, and the pride of all Liyue people! He is our most revered god! And the most worthy god in all of Teyvat!"

"It was because of the response from the people of Liyue that the old man was able to leave satisfied. When he left, he also passed on his power to Li Yue. He possesses the power of the old man and will inherit the old man's will, ascend to the throne of the Geo King, and continue to lead our Liyue!"

Ningguang turned and looked at the throne at the highest point.

"We respectfully invite the Rock King to ascend the throne!"

"We respectfully invite the Rock King to ascend the throne!"

Keqing and the entire Thousand Rock army shouted at the same time, and the Liyue people on the scene also shouted together. Under the expectant gaze of the Liyue people, a golden light descended from the sky. Wearing a magnificent golden outfit that Zhongli had hastily made, Li Yue appeared before the throne.

"Fellow citizens of Liyue, I am Li Yue, inheriting the legacy of the Emperor, and hereby become the new Geo King of Liyue!"

"Welcome, Rock King!"

Ningguang and Keqing immediately bowed.

Even with Ningguang's endorsement, the people of Liyue still felt a little strange when they saw Li Yue's face, which was exactly the same as the one on the previous wanted poster. Let me tell you something: our country's new god was once wanted by us!

However, everyone bowed their heads and greeted Ningguang and the others, just like them.

"Welcome, Rock King!"

"Please stand up, everyone."

Li Yue gestured for everyone to look up, and everyone looked up at Li Yue.

"I know you all still have doubts about me. After all, the Emperor has led you for over three thousand years, and you've become accustomed to his leadership. Suddenly having a new god will definitely make you uncomfortable. After all, you don't know much about me, the new Rock King, and you might worry that I might bring too much change to your lives."

"But it doesn't matter. I called everyone here today to dispel your doubts!"

"Because after I become the Rock King, I will only do three things!"

Li Yue flicked out three fingers.

"Fair! Fair! Still fair!"

Everyone stared at Li Yue in shock. This new Rock King seemed quite impressive!

"Liyue's management system is essentially managed by the Seven Stars of Liyue, so to maintain fairness, you only need to maintain the fairness of the Seven Stars!"

"However! In my opinion, this system, which has been in place for thousands of years, is bound to become outdated in some ways, because everyone makes mistakes!"

Ningguang's heart skipped a beat. Was this new Rock King going to target her right from the start?

"But the Seven Stars of Liyue is, after all, a system established by the Emperor, and I will not abolish it casually."

"Then how can we ensure fairness among the Liyue Sept? After all, the Liyue Sept are the highest-ranking officials in Liyue! It's simple: there must be someone above them to supervise them!"

Li Yue sat back on the golden throne, then raised her right hand. Three people walked out from behind, ascended the second step, and stood in front of three chairs.

The three were Zhong Li, Wendy, and Nasita, all members of Li Yue's gang.

"These three are three powerful warriors under my command, each possessing power comparable to a demon god! From this day forward, they will be the three generals of Liyue, responsible for overseeing the military affairs of the entire Liyue!"

Upon hearing Li Yue's appointment, Wendy's face was filled with joy. How fun! How really fun! I've come to Liyue to be an official! Narcida was equally happy; this was a great opportunity for her to gain experience as a god! Only Zhongli's smile seemed forced.
