Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"Wow!! Traveler, look, there are so many people here too!"

Chapter 6: The women gather at the Su family mansion; the Rock King Emperor wishes to bestow upon them immortal titles.

Grandma said that when your wish is strong enough, a cute blonde girl will come to help you fulfill it. As long as you give her money, she will do anything.

Actually, Ying and Paimon had already arrived in Liyue, but since the Summoning Ceremony was still a long way off, and in keeping with their professional spirit that travel is an adventure, the two of them discussed it and figured that Liyue was a vast and resource-rich place, and there should be quite a few treasures in the wild.

After all, there are so many famous ruins. Take Guili Plains for example, which was the site of old Liyue. The ancestors of Liyue lived there, and even if they migrated, they must have left behind a lot of things.

So Ying and Paimon excitedly headed to Guili Plain.

They found quite a bit of treasure, but also encountered many masked figures. They were killing everything in sight, getting really into it, when suddenly they realized that the ritual to summon immortals was about to begin!

Although finding my brother isn't important, the Summoning Ceremony is a big day in Liyue, and it would be a shame to miss it.

Thus, the blonde girl arrived in Liyue.

"It's that simple?"

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment after hearing Paimon recount their experiences.

Goodness, looking for treasure chests, looking for treasure chests, looking for treasure chests... Your lives are really simple, unpretentious, and boring.

"Hehe~ I'll skip the details."

Paimon scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

The main problem is that some of the methods are hard to explain. When I first heard about someone doing this in Mondstadt, I thought it was just nonsense, but it actually worked.

Of course, since the treasure-hunting gang is committing all sorts of evil deeds, while violence to combat violence is not encouraged, it still depends on the time, place, and target.

"Su Zhe, what about you?"

Ying looked over curiously.

When they came to Mondstadt before, Su Zhe suddenly disappeared, causing them to search for him for a long time.

"I went to Inazuma to take care of some small business, and I just got back a few days ago."

"Wow! They actually went to Inazuma? Why would they go to such a far place?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Did you see the spirit of Inatsume?"

"I've seen it, but it's probably not the one you're looking for."

"Huh?" Paimon scratched his head, looked at Ying and said, "Neither Mondstadt nor Inazuma are it, and as for the Geo Archon of Liyue... the name sounds really imposing, so he should be a man, right? Traveler, the deity who stopped you and your brother back then, wasn't she a woman?"

Su Zhe glanced at Zhong Li and coughed lightly, saying, "Gods don't distinguish between men and women; they can become whatever they want."

"That's not right either. Even demons should have offspring. So, there should be male and female. Even if he can turn into a woman, his true form should still be male."

"That should be called male."

"Huh? What you said makes a lot of sense..."

Su Zhe and Paimon were arguing about the sun with the two children. Ying was a little dejected after hearing the news, but Zhong Li remained calm and drank his wine.

It wasn't until Su Zhe and Paimon were completely at odds that Zhong Li spoke up, saying, "According to folklore, the Emperor has appeared in the mortal world as a woman. However, what you just said makes some sense. As for the Rock King Emperor... he appears in male form more often. Based on common sense, he should be male."

"In that case, this is probably not the god you are looking for."

Paimon exclaimed, "Does the Emperor have a fetish for wearing women's clothing?!"

Zhong Li: "..."

Ying tilted her head: "You know us?"

“I have a good friend in Mondstadt who told me about you, the honorary knights who helped Mondstadt resolve the dragon scourge and are on a journey to find your family.”

"Hehe~ It was the Traveler and I who saved us from the dragon disaster."

Paimon proudly puffed out his little breasts.

She followed Ying all the way, through Mondstadt and into Liyue, slaughtering everyone in her path!

Su Zhe and Ying rolled their eyes at the same time. Weren't you just laughing the whole time?

"Anyway, we'll know once the invocation ceremony begins."

Su Zhe waved his hand, "Five more days, they'll be over soon."

"Yeah, yeah!" Paimon exclaimed excitedly, stomping on Jojo's foot. "I saw so much delicious food when I came over! Liyue is so lively! Traveler, let's go check it out!"

Ying nodded: "Let's find a hotel to stay in while we're at it."

Su Zhe had a sudden thought: "If you don't have anywhere to stay, why don't you stay at my place?"

"You own a house?"

"Yes, it's right outside Yujingtai, very close. When the Immortal Invitation Ceremony begins, we can go directly there."

Paimon's eyes lit up: "Yujingtai! I heard that land there is worth a thousand gold pieces! Blue Melon... ptooey! Envoy, is your house really over there? How big is it? How many floors? Did you buy it outright? Is it solely yours?"

Su Zhe: "???"

Wait, something doesn't sound right here?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Theoretically, it belongs to me alone. Don't worry, my house is quite big, it's a large mansion, big enough to accommodate everyone, and it even has a yard."

"Traveler, traveler!"

Paimon pulled Ying along and whispered, "Did you hear that?"

fluorescent:"?"

"A large house, with a yard, at least this price!"

Paimon stretched out his little hands, his eyes shining.

Ying tilted her head. "And then what? What does that have to do with us?"

"Hehe~ Aren't you looking for an older brother? Why don't you find a godbrother before you find a real one? I heard that this is very popular in Liyue, where girls call their brothers."

Ying knocked Paimon down with a single punch.

But since Su Zhe has invited me and offered me a free stay in a big house, how could I not take advantage of such a good deal?

So the three of them struck up a conversation and decided to go see the big house first, and then go sightseeing.

“Mr. Zhongli, I’ll take them there first.” Su Zhe looked at the old man, who seemed determined to continue slacking off. “I’ve already paid the bill.”

Zhongli nodded: "Thank you."

After Su Zhe and the other two left, Zhong Li sat in the same spot, lost in thought for a long time.

To be honest, he felt quite strange after spending time with Su Zhe these past few times.

The one from Mondstadt had mentioned it to him before, but Zhongli didn't quite believe it. He said that the guy was just a lazy bum who looked eight-tenths like him. How could there be such a thing? How could a demon god look eight-tenths like that lazy bum god?

But now he's actually starting to agree with Wendy's words.

Because Zhongli couldn't see any 'ambition' in Su Zhe, and he was completely different from the demons he had encountered before.

He actually knew Ningguang's previous thoughts: that a demon god with a nascent mind had appeared in Liyue and that he wanted to recruit him to increase Liyue's fighting strength.

Although Ningguang is skilled at judging people and has extraordinary strategic abilities, she is ultimately just a mortal and knows very little about the matter of demons and gods, so her evaluation is not a reliable reference.

But after spending time together, Zhongli gradually came to have a similar evaluation to Ningguang.

If he had to say, Zhongli felt that Su Zhe was more like a human than a demon god.

A human with the body of a demon god.

"Building a bridge between humans and immortals..."

Zhongli had thought of this.

Immortals are high above.

To mortals, they can be seen as a kind of 'demon god', because in the minds of mortals, they are beings so powerful that they can only look up to them. The difference is that immortals help Liyue, while ordinary demon gods harm Liyue.

With the protection of immortals and the development of humanity, everyone must fulfill their respective roles to create a better future.

The development of Liyue is inseparable from people, and also from the immortals.

However, since ancient times, there has been a very clear boundary between humans and immortals in Liyue.

And bridging the gap between the two is this Rock King Emperor.

Therefore, if we want to delegate power now, we need a suitable person to buffer the potential conflicts between humans and immortals, so that the two can work together to protect Liyue.

However, such people are too hard to find. First, they must be an 'outsider' who cannot stand alone on the side of immortals or humans. Second, they must have the strength, otherwise, what right do they have to influence the situation?

Finally, you must feel a sense of belonging to Liyue. Only by truly treating Liyue as your home can you better fulfill this responsibility.

Zhongli originally thought it would take a hundred or two hundred years to find him, but now that he has met Su Zhe, an 'outsider' with strength, as for a sense of belonging... he has rejected the invitations of the Wind God and the Thunder God one after another, so this should be considered as well, right?

Zhongli sat on the stool for a long time, as still as a rock.

He thought that if Su Zhe became the Immortal of Liyue, then this special immortal would be able to uphold his will and maintain the relationship between immortals and mortals.

Suddenly, a bright red-clad girl ran over excitedly.

"Zhongli! Zhongli! Hurry, someone's dead!!!"

...

the other side.

Su Zhe took Ying and Paimon back to their residence.

"Look, this is my big house in Liyue."

There were no guards outside the gate. Pushing open the gate, the large courtyard seemed rather deserted at the moment. Some fireworks were being set off in the middle of the courtyard, but Xiaogong was nowhere to be seen.

"Strange, where are they? Could they have been blown up by the fireworks?"

"Wow! Your Excellency, this place is huge!"

"I told you not to call me any envoy, this is Liyue."

Su Zhe wandered around for a while to make sure that Xiao Gong had really gone out.

"You two can look around freely; most of the rooms are empty."

As they were saying this, there was a sudden knock on the door.
