Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Happy now, Zhongli? You want me to be the Geo Archon? Fine, no problem. I won't play the trick of passing it on to you the next day. I'll make you work under me directly! After all, you're just a street urchin; do you think you can disobey the orders of the Geo Archon? I'm making you a Liyue General, second only to the Archon. Nobody else can get this kind of treatment! Hurry up and thank the Geo Archon!

Li Yue nodded in satisfaction at the expression on Zhong Li's face, pressed down with his right hand, and the three generals immediately sat down in the three seats prepared for them. Nasida clasped her hands and smiled broadly, Wendy waved to the crowd below, and Zhong Li in the middle crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

Then Li Yue raised her left hand again, and seven more people came out from behind and stood on the lower steps.

These seven people are Liuyun, Xiaoyue, Lishui, Xiao, Ganyu, Yanfei, and Granny Ping. Yes, Li Yue brought Yanfei and Granny Ping over. When they were brought over, they were stunned, but when Li Yue said that this was all the Emperor's arrangement, they nodded in agreement.

"These seven are the seven immortals who once served under the Emperor! From this day forward, they will be the Seven Martial Immortals of Liyue, representing the deceased Emperor and overseeing the lives of the people of Liyue!"

Not only will I use you, Zhongli, but I will also use all the immortals under your command!

The Emperor's order, boy!

"If the Liyue Seven Stars do anything unfair to the other side, you can report it to them!"

"You may find it surprising that there are immortals around, but the ancient Liyue was a prosperous era where humans and immortals coexisted. And I will lead the immortals and everyone in Liyue to recreate the glory of ancient Liyue! I will make Liyue great again!"

Li Yue's words shocked everyone present. They didn't know who the three generals of Liyue were, but they knew about the Seven Archangels of the King. They were all immortals who followed the Emperor. Countless people in Liyue dreamed of obtaining immortality, and now these immortals were right beside them! Moreover, the new Geo King said he would restore Liyue to its ancient glory. How exciting was that!

Then, the people on the Jade Capital Terrace cheered.

"Long live the Rock King!"

"Long live the Rock King!"

Li Yue raised her hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Furthermore, because I am usually very busy and may not be in Liyue Harbor, if the three generals and the seven warriors encounter important matters while I am away from Liyue Harbor, General Zhongli will be in charge of handling them! Therefore, in addition to his position as general, Zhongli also serves as the Grand Commander of Liyue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Li's expression froze for a moment, then his face darkened.

I regret it now. Is it too late to go back and start over?

104. Grand Commander Zhongli of Liyue

Keqing once said, "We, the Liyue Seven Stars, are all-powerful and capable of anything."

"Very well, you have connections everywhere, huh?" Li Yue immediately descended into darkness.

With the rise of the new Rock King, the powerful Liyue Seven Stars suddenly found themselves with eleven mountains above their heads!

At the very top, the new Rock King Li Yue and his three retainers, the three generals of Liyue, have fundamentally monopolized Liyue's armed forces. The so-called three generals supervising Liyue's military is clearly just the three generals directly seizing command of the Thousand Rock Army from the seven stars of Liyue.

As for people's livelihood, if the immortals who were previously hidden in Liyue Harbor were only observing in secret, the seven immortals or demigods now are directly and openly keeping a close eye on the Seven Stars of Liyue, because according to Li Yue's requirements, these immortals must be openly stationed in Liyue Harbor.

What do you mean by cultivating immortality in the mountains? What have you all accomplished? Come and get to work! Especially since Gan Yu, Granny Ping, and Yan Fei are already based in Liyue Harbor, bringing a few more immortals over is no problem at all. Especially Xiao, who previously refused to approach mortals because of karma, but now that karma is no longer an obstacle, he can stay in Liyue Harbor without any issues.

You can still hoe the land as usual, but when you're resting, just come to Liyue Harbor.

The Liyue Seven Stars or their subordinates will definitely have connections. If you can't resolve the issue by contacting these connections, you can report it directly to the Immortals and have them intervene. In that case, no matter how close your connections are, they will still have to handle the matter impartially.

The seven stars of Liyue suffer a bit, but it will benefit all the people of Liyue. This is a necessary sacrifice, and you will understand.

Of course, most importantly, when Li Yue is not in Liyue Harbor, everything will be handled by Grand Commander Zhong Li!

Upon hearing this, the immortals in the upper echelons were all very happy, as was Li Yue. The only one who was unhappy was probably Zhongli.

But all of this was arranged by the new Rock King, Zhongli, you can't refuse, can you?

"How could I possibly refuse? This is an incredible opportunity!"

In the backyard of the Hall of Rebirth, Li Yue's gang, who had been wanted just two days ago, were now drinking tea around the table with the new Rock King and the three generals of Liyue, just like before, while Hu Tao stood next to Zhong Li and shouted loudly.

"Zhongli, you've had incredible luck! You actually managed to become the Grand Commander of Liyue! That's truly second only to the emperor!"

"Master Hu, although the Grand Commander is second only to the Emperor, I have no intention of taking this position."

As Zhong Li explained, she glanced resentfully at Li Yue, who was smiling across from her.

"Rock King..."

Li Yue immediately raised her hand to interrupt.

"No, no, no, Zhongli, those outsiders are one thing, but we're all family here. Why call me King Yan? The real King Yan is still alive, he's just retired. We can just call me by my name. Do you see Hu Tao calling me King Yan?"

"Alright, Li Yue, I can accept you assigning me one of the three great generals of Liyue, but this Grand Commander is really..."

"There's nothing we can do, Zhongli. Don't you even know what kind of people your three generals are?"

Li Yue pointed to Nasita and Wendy.

“One is weak from Mondstadt, and the other is small from Sumeru. You can’t really expect the two of them to do anything.”

"Yes, yes, that's right. I'm from Mondstadt, and I'm very weak. How could I possibly do anything?"

Wendy made her own irresponsible declaration.

“Li Yue is right. I’m too young and don’t understand many things, so I’m not suitable to do things directly. Instead, I’m more suited to follow Mr. Zhongli and learn from him.”

Nasida also expressed her request to study.

“And you, Zhongli, are learned, capable, and a native of Liyue. For the people of Liyue, you are the most suitable one to do the job. After all, although I have become the Geo King, I am essentially just managing Liyue in place of the retired Emperor. Liyue is still the Emperor's Liyue. The best person to manage Liyue is a Liyue native. Rather than having me, the Geo King who may not be in Liyue most of the time, do it, it is better to have you, the Grand Governor of Liyue.”

So all three of you are ignoring this, and I'm the only one doing all the work?

"Furthermore, it would be inappropriate to only let you do the work and not let the other two do it. After all, you are both generals. If you interfere in their affairs, people might say that you are trying to seize power. So I'm giving you the position of Grand Commander directly. That way, even if you interfere in the affairs of Wendy and Nasita's subordinates, it will be perfectly legitimate!"

It should be perfectly legitimate for me to be the only one doing the work, right?

"In terms of general rationality, that is indeed the case."

Zhongli was helpless because Li Yue was right. Although they were called the three generals, one of them was a lazy bum and the other was ignorant. He couldn't really let the other two take charge. In the end, he would definitely be the one in charge.

"Why don't you just not give us the title of three generals?"

"How can that be? In order to fulfill the contract with the Emperor, I secretly dragged you all into this mess. Just like the contract the Emperor emphasized, every transaction under a contract requires a corresponding price to be paid. I've dragged you all into such a big matter, so in accordance with the contract, I naturally have to give you corresponding rewards, and this is my reward to you."

Li Yue's face was full of seriousness.

"Does Zhongli want me to disobey the Emperor's contract?"

Even if the heavens fall, the contract must be fulfilled!

Now you're talking to me about contracts?

Zhong Li sighed helplessly, speechless at Li Yue's words.

"I understand, and I will use the power you have entrusted to me properly."

There was no way he could refuse Li Yue; he was currently just an ordinary Liyue citizen, while Li Yue was the Geo Archon, a position pushed up by the immortals.

He regretted it. He had only thought about making Li Yue the Rock King, but he hadn't considered how Li Yue would treat him after becoming the Rock King.

The key point is that he can't blame Li Yue, because Li Yue gave him supreme power in Liyue, especially the position of Grand Marshal. Once Li Yue leaves Liyue, he will be in charge of all affairs in Liyue, just like the Geo Archon! He can even control the immortals. Tell me, who in Liyue can refuse such power?

The problem is, Zhongli doesn't want that! What Zhongli wants is not to be the Rock King! What kind of retirement is this? It's just a lonely retirement!

"By the way, Zhongli, in order to establish your prestige among the people of Liyue, I'm going to have you do something very important!"

"whats the matter?"

Zhongli, having no choice but to accept the situation, looked at Li Yue. Since Li Yue had assigned him the task, he, as the Grand Commander, could only do his best to complete it.

“Liyue Qixing told me that the Emperor’s dragon corpse has been kept in the Golden House and has not been buried. You can use your title as Grand Commander of Liyue to preside over the Emperor’s funeral.”

Zhongli: ......

"Let Hu Tao take care of the burial site."

Li Yue looked at Hu Tao.

"Do you remember what I said about the second phase of the project before?"

"Could it be that!"

Hu Tao's eyes widened in excitement.

"There's no need to fawn over the Liyue Seven Stars anymore. Our Hall of Rebirth is now directly burying the Emperor! Being able to be buried in the same cemetery as the Emperor, I think there should be plenty of people willing to come forward and buy it."

Zhongli opened her eyes wide.

Not only are they making me send myself away, but they're even going to use my corpse to do business?

105. [The depraved, scumbag boyfriend is dead.]

Although Zhongli was shocked by Li Yue's idea of ​​using his corpse for business, he eventually did as Li Yue suggested, because Hu Tao didn't stand on ceremony with him at all. The Emperor's corpse was still a corpse, and she would accept it at the Hall of Rebirth!

So, Zhongli, in his capacity as Grand Commander of Liyue, and Hu Tao jointly presided over a unique send-off ceremony for the immortals. To commemorate the Emperor, Li Yue even took a photo with her phone of everyone standing in front of the dragon's corpse making a peace sign as a keepsake.

After all, this is the last thing the Emperor left for Liyue, and it has great sentimental value!

Everyone in the photo has a great smile on their face. Look how happy Zhongli is!

With the completion of the rites for sending off the immortals, the Emperor's body was buried by Hu Tao. This time, the turmoil surrounding the Emperor's fall was completely over. The young master had been locked up in the Northern Bank since the winter solstice, and had been busy for nothing. Ausel also had no chance to appear. Even if he dared to appear later, Li Yue would dare to give him a taste of the power of the Heavenly Movement.

Liyue, having bid farewell to the old era of the Geo Archon Morax, will embark on a new era under the leadership of the new Geo Archon Li Yue and the immortals!

After a busy day, Li Yue handed everything over to Zhong Li and had nothing to do in the evening. She sat on the throne that Zhong Li had personally crafted for her and opened the chat group for the first time in a long time.

[Silly Person: Hey, finally finished with all that work.]

[Street Dance of China: Hashirama! You're finally back!]

Is this Madara Uchiha's speed? I only sent it less than 2 seconds ago and you've already replied!

Li Yue's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the message about Uchiha Madara.

[Silly Guy: Ah, Madara, you're here too.]

[Street Dance of China: Hmph, I've always been here!]

Madara Uchiha seemed extremely proud. He was dead in the Pure Land and should have been unconscious, but because of the chat group, he was forcibly awakened. He was neither tired nor asleep, which meant he was on standby 24 hours a day. Unable to move his body, he could only keep staring at the chat group. After all, Hashira was in it, and he had to keep an eye on it at all times so as not to miss any of Hashira's messages.

Today, he finally received news from Hashiramar.

[Street Dance of China: Hashirama, what have you been busy with these days?]

Because there is no day or night in the Pure Land, Madara doesn't know the time either, so he can only ask in this way.

[A silly, funny person: Attended the funeral of a very important person, only to be inexplicably framed as the murderer of that person, so I was busy for a while.]

[This is Street Dance: Huh? Someone actually dared to slander you? Well, how did you deal with them? Defeat them all!]

Although it was a question, Madara was very confident that Hashirama had defeated all those who had slandered him.

[Silly Guy: No, not at all. Before I even made a move, they suddenly surrendered and even put me in that powerful guy's position. I'm now the king of a country. According to Konoha, I'm now the second Hokage of this country.]

[This is Street Dance: ? ?]
