Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 561: "Grandpa, something's not right with you!"

Seeing that Buyer was deep in thought, Wendy showed no sign of stopping.

He looked at the people paving the road, then at the vendors selling their wares, and continued, "Humans are strange. Without restraint and faith, things may start out beautifully, but gradually they will be controlled by their inner desires and do bad things."

"For example, if the laws of nature didn't concern the people of Teyvat, and the gods researched ley lines and forbidden knowledge, what would become of the entire continent of Teyvat?"

It seemed as if he was asking Buyer, or perhaps asking himself.

He couldn't even imagine what the continent of Teyvat would have become if the laws of nature hadn't stopped such research.

"It's definitely going to be a mess..."

Wendy murmured, "This is the answer I got."

"Hmm~"

Buyer nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

She had witnessed the horror of forbidden knowledge and could understand why the natural order would act this way.

If such things become rampant, the destruction of Teyvat is only a matter of time.

After a moment of contemplation, the two "people" set off again, heading towards Tiandou City.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On a street in Tiandou City.

"Barbatos, why don't we use the door?"

"Buyer asked with a puzzled look on his face."

When they arrived at the outskirts of Tiandou City, Barbatos actually flew her into the city instead of walking in like in other cities.

Upon hearing this, Wendy shrugged and asked, "Do you have any Soul Coins?"

"no."

Having been in Douluo Continent for some time now, Buyer naturally knew what Gold Soul Coins were.

This is the currency of the Douluo Continent, similar to the Mora of the Teyvat Continent.

After arriving in Douluo Continent, she hadn't earned any money, so naturally she didn't have any gold soul coins.

"I didn't either..."

Wendy wasn't embarrassed at all and said it directly.

"???"

These words startled Buyer slightly.

What does not having Gold Soul Coins have to do with entering the city?

"Entering Heaven Dou City requires paying one gold soul coin as an entrance fee."

Neither of us has any Gold Soul Coins, so...

Wendy didn't continue, believing that the God of Wisdom would understand instantly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Buyer suddenly realized what was going on.

Two gods can't even scrape together two gold soul coins, it's really... really...

"Let's go, don't overthink it, we'll be at the old man's residence soon."

"I really miss the fine wine from the old man's house!"

Buyer: "..."

After Wendy and Buyer flew into the city, they were not far from Zhongli Mansion. In a short while, the two "people" arrived at the gate of Zhongli Mansion.

Upon arriving here, Wendy felt as if she had come home. Without waiting for anyone to greet her, she pushed open the door and went inside.

Buyer: "..."

"Grandpa, look who I've brought!"

Buyer: "..."

Will Morax remember her?

Even Barbatos, the god of wind, has forgotten her, Morax...

As soon as the two "people" entered Zhongli Mansion, the person who sensed their arrival moved almost instantly and quickly went to the main hall.

"Wendy, who did you bring?"

Paimon flew to Wendy's side and asked in confusion.

This elf-like woman is quite pretty; I wonder how Wendy managed to "trick" her into coming here.

For some reason, Paimon felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar.

She naturally didn't sense the arrival of the two "people," but Ying did!

At this moment, Ying stared wide-eyed at the Great Tree King—Buyer—with disbelief.

This...this person has completely vanished, hasn't he?

Balzeb, Navelette, Xiao, Rota Dragon King, Hagentus, and the others looked at Buyer with the same puzzlement.

When Zhongli saw the person who had arrived, he was slightly taken aback, and was also somewhat incredulous.

He had considered the arrival of the little grass god Nasita, and he had also considered the arrival of the World Tree, but he never expected that it would be this person who would arrive!

"The Great Tree King - Buyer".

Subconsciously, Zhong Li greeted Buyer.

"???"

Buyer, Wendy, and Ying looked at Zhong Li almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with confusion.

Something's not right, something's very wrong!

It's not that they're acting strangely, it's that this old man is acting strangely!

Everyone forgot about him; only the Descendant escaped unscathed.

How could this person possibly still remember the Great Tree King—Buyer?

He should have been puzzled, confused, and his expression quite interesting, then asked Buyer why he had the aura of the World Tree, and then...

"Old man, something's not right with you!"

Wendy glanced sideways and spoke to Zhong Li.

Ying and Buyer nodded in agreement.

The others were utterly puzzled, looking at Zhong Li, then at Wendy and Buyer, wondering what kind of riddle they were playing.

Hearing this, and glancing at Wendy, Zhong Li suddenly understood.

The World Tree deleted all information about the Great Tree King, but he still remembered him.

Even though Zhongli wasn't a "time traveler," the Zhongli from the original timeline still knew something...

The seven gods have come and gone, and five of them have now passed away.

Of the gods of the first generation, only the God of Wind and the God of Rock have never changed. In other words, Zhongli knew that the God of Grass in Sumeru had changed, and that the first God of Grass had even fallen.

"I might be a little special, but I remember you."

While Zhongli was "organizing language", Ying came to Buyer and said.

"Traveler, it's been a long time."

Buyer greeted Ying with a smile.

"I thought I would never see you again; I was the last recorder of your existence..."

Ying became somewhat saddened when she said this.

The Great Tree King, who saved the world, was forgotten by everyone, not even Paimon, who was by her side.

"I don't know why this happened. Suddenly I was transported to another world, suddenly I was resurrected..."

"For me, this should be considered a good thing."

The Great Tree King didn't care whether people had forgotten her or whether anyone remembered her.

Some things must be done, even if they won't be remembered by history.

"Speaking of which, Morax, your memories weren't altered by the World Tree?"

Buyer paused, looked at Zhongli, and asked in confusion.

Now that things have come to this point, everyone vaguely realized one thing: the person in front of them was not "ordinary." They might know her, but they had forgotten her because of certain things.

"My true form comes from the stars beyond Teyvat; perhaps that's why I remember you."

Zhong Li gave an answer that could be considered an answer.

His true form did indeed originate from the starry sky beyond the continent of Teyvat.

Although everyone had doubts, they did not press the matter further. Everyone has their own secrets, and if the other party was unwilling to say more, there was no point in asking.

Isn't it good as it is now?

"Hehe, since the old man remembers the Great Tree King, then you can introduce him to everyone."
