Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

But the woman knew very well that she had no chance of winning. If she forced a fight, the final outcome would probably be what Su Zhe had said: she would be beaten half to death and then taken away.

Death is not scary, but the task the Queen gave her is not yet completed, so she cannot die!

"Someday...someday..." the woman glared at Su Zhe, gritting her teeth, "I never want to see you again!"

After saying that, he finally gave up resisting.

"A wise choice."

Su Zhe smiled slightly, waved his hand, and ordered Qianyan Army to restrain her.

...

Su Zhe handed over the lady's matter directly to Ning Guang.

The rich woman was clever; she didn't inform the fools at all. "Since you came secretly, fine, then you'll stay in the jail first. We'll talk about everything after the invocation ceremony."

Liyue is not like Inatsume; Inatsume has a whole host of problems to deal with.

In Liyue, Ningguang has plenty of time to waste with her.

Of course, not now.

On the third day after the woman was captured, beautiful fireworks were set off in the courtyard early in the morning.

On this day, everyone in Liyue Harbor got up early, dressed smartly, and waited for that moment to arrive.

Liyue Harbor was unusually quiet.

Then someone shouted, and the streets and alleys instantly erupted in excitement.

"It has begun! The ritual to summon the immortals has started!"

Chapter 8: The Immortal Summoning Ceremony Begins! Rock King Emperor vs. Terrifying Demon God?

It started.

Such sounds could be heard everywhere in Liyue Harbor.

What? What's started? Are you still living in a dream?

"Yujingtai has been surrounded by the Thousand Rock Army. I heard that Lord Ningguang just led his men in."

"It's almost time."

"Elbow! Go check it out!"

The time has come, but of course, it doesn't mean the Emperor is about to descend to the mortal realm.

The ritual of inviting the immortals is extremely solemn. Although the final goal is to "invite the immortals", the preceding procedures cannot be omitted. Just like worshipping the immortals, before asking the immortals for their protection, one must burn incense and pray.

Not to mention, the Rock King Emperor is the ancestor of all immortals, so this etiquette must be performed properly.

At this moment, as the people of Liyue Harbor rushed towards Jade Capital, the streets and alleys were bustling with activity, and the clamor of discussion could even be heard in the quiet Liyue prison.

The woman was so angry that she jumped up and down, and banged on the prison door repeatedly.

"Hey you, come here!"

She was in a dedicated VIP cell, so she was guarded by Chiyan Army soldiers.

The jailer was craning his neck to listen outside when he saw the woman's fierce expression and impatiently walked over.

"What's wrong now?"

These past two days, the brothers on duty guarding her are almost driven to the brink of nervous breakdown by this old woman. She screams all day long and doesn't rest. Are all the Fools crazy?

"I want to see Ningguang!"

"Are you crazy? Lady Ningguang is presiding over the Immortal Invitation Ceremony today, how could she have time to see you?"

"Then go and inform the Fools that I want to see the young master!"

The jailer looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Madam, please understand your situation. This is the Liyue prison, not your Winterhold Kingdom. Lady Ningguang has said that no one is allowed to visit you during this period."

The news of the woman's arrest was kept secret. Su Zhe secretly threw her into jail when no one was looking.

Although the Fools will surely find out later, their attention is currently focused on the invocation ceremony, so who would have thought that there's an executioner locked up in this prison?

Upon hearing Qian Yanjun's words, the woman's face turned icy cold: "Do you really think a mere prison cell can hold me?"

The jailer immediately raised his spear and shouted, "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless! Lord Su Zhe said that if you dare to escape, all the Fatui in Liyue Harbor will be arrested!"

Upon hearing the name Su Zhe, the woman involuntarily trembled, much like someone with PTSD.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and walked back into the cell with an icy expression.

She wasn't afraid of Su Zhe.

However, if all the fools are arrested, the ritual of summoning the immortals will be ruined.

But if we don't go out now, how can we find Morax to make a contract?

"It seems we can only wait until after the invocation ceremony."

The woman thought to herself.

Anyway, this is a contract between gods, so it shouldn't matter if it's sooner or later.

Since Her Majesty the Empress has said so, it proves that the Rock King Emperor had already had this idea, so the young master's preparations were not in vain.

However, without prior agreement, things might get a little complicated for the young master...

Well, as a warrior of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, one must naturally be mentally prepared to deal with any unexpected situation.

"Once we get the Heart of God, we'll never come to Liyue again!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the Northern Bank.

Because of the ritual to invite the immortals, the usually bustling bank was now deserted.

The young master gathered with several elite members of the Fools and repeatedly explained the plan.

"Do you understand? After Morax and Oser fight, your mission is to do everything you can to hold off Liyue's reinforcements."

"Yes, sir!"

Full of momentum.

The young master nodded in satisfaction: "Any other questions?"

“Um…Young Master,” one of them asked, “we haven’t received any contact from Lady recently, and we wonder how she is doing.”

"Don't worry about that." The young master chuckled. "We're in the open, while the lady is in the shadows. The invocation ceremony has already begun, so she naturally needs to hide herself. We don't need to worry about her; she'll make her move when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Fools breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this operation involved something of unimaginable magnitude.

Those who cause chaos at the Liyue Summoning Ceremony and directly confront Liyue's military forces, even if they survive in the end, will likely face consequences if Liyue holds them accountable. None of those who remain in Liyue will be able to escape.

That being said, since it is Her Majesty the Queen's order, they will carry it out to the end.

Of course, I was definitely feeling uneasy.

Fortunately, there were two executive officers with us this time. Although neither the young master nor the lady had a good reputation among the Fatui, their abilities were still recognized by everyone.

"Don't worry, no one will know that we released Osel, so as long as we follow the plan, there won't be any problems in the end."

The young master clapped his hands in encouragement.

"If you understand everything, let's get started."

After everyone dispersed, the young master scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Although he had just told everyone that, he still felt strange.

The fight is about to start, why haven't we heard anything from the lady?

Does this mean he should go first?

...

Hall of Rebirth.

"Zhongli! Hurry up! The summoning ceremony is about to begin! The Emperor is descending to the mortal realm!"

The lively young girl rushed into the courtyard, looking left and right. The guest who used to always be there, teasing birds and drinking tea, was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh? They went out?"

At this moment, a servant came over and said, "Master, Mr. Zhongli said that something came up and he won't be going."

"What's wrong? What is it?"

"It seems that someone in a family died, and this happened to coincide with a ritual to invite the immortals. It's not good to announce it publicly, so they secretly invited Mr. Zhongli over."

"Oh, I see, I understand."

Hu Tao nodded with a grin, thinking to herself that Zhong Li really cared about the Hall of Rebirth.

"Well, in that case, let's get started!"

"Huh? Master, aren't you going to invite the Immortal Ceremony Master?"

"I'm not going. It's always the same anyway. The development policies the Emperor mentioned have nothing to do with our Rebirth Hall. No matter how well Liyue develops, people will still die. It's the same whether we go or not. We might as well take the time to find some business."

Yi Guan looked completely bewildered.

Do you look for funeral business while performing a ritual for inviting spirits?

Master, what on earth are you thinking?!

...

The Su family mansion.

A cute little girl with a backpack ran into the yard, turned around, and waved to the corridor.

"Sister Xiaogong, Sister Xiaogong, hurry up!"

"Here it comes!"

Xiaogong walked out of the room carrying a pile of things.
