Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

There's a term in Liyue called 'fox spirit,' so she's most wary of Yae no Miko.

But as soon as those words were spoken, the difference in skill level became apparent.

Su Zhe was also speechless. "Ba Zhe, the other person didn't even say they liked you. Aren't you just hurting yourself? And you even gave them a reason to keep talking about it."

The difference in their skill levels made a direct confrontation impossible. However, Ningguang, seeing the situation was not going well, immediately stepped in to take over the center position from Bache.

She came here with the intention of using the matter of the Rock Layer Abyss as an excuse to pull Su Zhe out of this 'demon's den'.

But the clever fox didn't let her succeed, and the struggle between the two continued, until Amber walked over from the doorway.

"Su Zhe, Mr. Zhongli is looking for you. He said he has reserved a table at Heyu Teahouse and is asking if you want to go for tea?"

Su Zhe felt as if he had been granted a pardon: "Go, go, go! Tell Mr. Zhongli to wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over!"

"Mr. Zhongli?"

Yae no Miko opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and thinking of the two large jugs of 'wine' she had drunk yesterday, she finally couldn't muster the courage to go along.

She doesn't need to go, and Ningguang doesn't need to either. She just needs to keep an eye on Yae and wait for him to leave Liyue.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhe exclaimed in his heart, "The Emperor loves me!" Then he went back to his room, sprayed water to wash his body which hadn't moved for three days, changed his clothes, and excitedly rushed to Heyu Teahouse.

Going upstairs, it's the same familiar corner, and the same familiar...people?

Seeing the purple figure sitting with Zhong Li, Su Zhe froze on the spot.

"Lord Thor, what brings you here?"

Chapter 26 Su Zhe said: Shadow, this is eternity!

Heyu Tea House.

Today is the day Yunhan Troupe performs again.

"Yun Jin, are you ready?"

An elderly opera troupe member asked Yun Jin, who was preparing backstage.

"Haa...almost there, almost there."

Yun Jin responded.

"Why can't I rest for another day? Sigh~ I walked all the way to Feiyunpo yesterday and was inspired, but I have to go on stage today. If I go back after singing, I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp the feeling anymore."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a young member of the team joked, "I bet you'll have some inspiration today."

Yun Jin glanced at the person, somewhat curious.

"Lord Su Zhe came to watch the opera today, along with Mr. Zhongli. They also brought someone with them, who seemed to be a friend, and they had a very pleasant conversation."

"Both Su Zhe and Mr. Zhong Li are here?"

Yun Jin paused slightly, then ran out from backstage.

"Get on stage! Get on stage!"

The pillar of this opera troupe, who had been complaining just moments before, suddenly perked up.

The person who had just spoken to her exchanged a glance with the others who were with her, and they all smiled.

Everyone knows Yun Jin's personality; she's always on the path of exploration and breakthrough. She naturally loves singing opera, but she doesn't like singing for the sake of singing. And every time Mr. Zhongli comes, he can have a few professional words with her and give insightful guidance.

Therefore, most people come to listen to the opera because of Mr. Yun.

But few people know that Mr. Yun's desire to perform opera will become even more enthusiastic because of Zhongli's arrival.

As for Su Zhe, he couldn't offer any constructive advice, but he always managed to take Yun Jin out to play.

As the leader of the Liyue Sage, who would dare to stop the small Yunhan Society?

So, sometimes when Yun Jin wanted to go out for a walk but didn't want to be watched by the people in the opera troupe, she would secretly ask someone to find Su Zhe.

The person she asked for help naturally couldn't be from the same opera troupe; a child on the street, a familiar friend, or even a stranger could all become her helpers.

Over time, everyone began to think that Mr. Yun might have fallen in love with the leader of all the immortals.

Even the people of Yunhan Society thought so. Of course, they dared not say anything about it. Instead, they offered their blessings. If Yun Jin could really form a bond with the immortals, it would definitely be the result of the ancestors of Yunhan Society emitting auspicious smoke from their graves.

After all, Liyue is a country that highly respects immortals.

At this moment.

Yun Jin had already taken the stage and was singing in a soft, melodious voice. As soon as she opened her mouth, the once bustling teahouse fell silent.

Everyone listened intently to the music, completely absorbed, and even forgot to drink their tea, which made the boss, Master Fan, sigh repeatedly.

This person has been attracted; if he could drink more frequently, that would be even better.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, the table that Mr. Yun is currently paying the most attention to, sitting in the corner of the teahouse.

Su Zhe suddenly became calm again.

Yes, he's very calm now.

From the moment I first saw Thor, my conditioned reflex was to think of the days I was tortured in the Pure Land of One Heart. Then I quickly realized, "Yeah, this is Liyue, what am I afraid of?"

See that? That's Lord Yan right next to me!

See that? My identity is that of the head of all immortals!

Even if Thor came, he'd have to bend over and give me a hard time.

So, at Zhongli's suggestion, Su Zhe sat down with the two most powerful gods in the world.

She even puffed out her chest.

He suddenly remembered that he was the ruler of time, Ishtar, and that no one in the world could be greater than him.

Su Zhe generously ordered a pot of tea, the most expensive kind.

"Mr. Yun seems to be in good condition today."

Zhongli said in a gentle voice.

He is a knowledgeable person who can discern the unique characteristics of each of the 360 ​​trades from the seemingly identical sounds of the trades.

So, as a long-time audience member, he immediately recognized Yun Jin after she had only sung a few lines.

"I still remember when she first stepped onto the stage, her appearance and voice were still quite immature, but she surprised everyone with her words. Back then, some people predicted that Yun Jin would be the leading figure in Liyue opera in the future."

As Zhongli spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a leisurely sip.

His narrow eyes tilted slightly upward, somewhat surprised by the taste of the tea. Why did it taste different when he came?

Oh, you ordered the expensive one.

"Yun Jin really sings well; even I, a layman, enjoy listening to her."

Su Zhe smiled slightly, "However, I only like listening to opera, I don't like singing or commenting. She said she would teach me before, but after singing a couple of lines I knew it wouldn't work. Fighting is fine, but singing opera is out of the question."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "That's true. But it's never a bad thing to understand the world. The civilization of Liyue, which has been accumulated for 3,700 years, is hidden in this song, tea, and object. They may seem insignificant, but they all carry the weight of history."

"Yes, if you have the chance, Zhongli, you must take me sightseeing more often."

The moment Su Zhe saw the shadow, he knew that the old man was about to lay his cards on the table.

After all, he had seen Thor in Inazuma before, and now that Thor is involved with Zhongli, Zhongli's identity is obviously obvious.

In fact, Zhongli had no intention of revealing her identity.

However, I recently realized that some things are indeed easier to handle under the identity of the Rock King Emperor.

Su Zhe is a demon god, and he is Zhong Li, but if they are just Zhong Li, there will inevitably be obstacles in their communication.

Of course, the identity of the Rock King Emperor is limited to communication with immortals and gods. The one who wanders away from the mortal world should be Zhongli, and it must be Zhongli.

Well, he wouldn't conjure up Mora to pay the bill just because he has the ability.

But upon hearing Su Zhe's words, Zhong Li felt rather helpless about the word "strolling around".

His original intention was to have Su Zhe devote more of his energy to the affairs of Liyue, rather than spending his days drinking tea, listening to music, walking birds, and admiring flowers. What Liyue needs now is the next Geo Archon, not a second Zhongli.

At this moment, Ying, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said, "The world is full of fleeting illusions, easily shattered, there's nothing to be nostalgic about."

Zhong Li and Su Zhe exchanged a glance.

The old man didn't speak, but instead held his teacup and sipped his tea, leaving the question to Su Zhe.

He could certainly tell that there must be a reason why Thor had made the special trip across the sea to Liyue.

Perhaps visiting him, this 'elder,' was one reason, but more importantly, he saw in Ying's eyes a yearning for answers.

However, each of the seven gods has their own philosophy. If we consider only him, he is simply implementing the philosophy of the Rock God to the Thunder God. Even though they are all seven gods, he is inevitably suspected of overstepping his authority.

Therefore, Zhongli did not rush to speak.

If he doesn't speak up, who will?

We can't just leave the mighty Thor feeling awkward, can we?

"Even fleeting beauty can stand still forever."

Su Zhe said something inscrutable, then picked up his teacup, leaving behind a surprised look.

This sentence felt familiar to her.

Her sister had said something similar before.

Why is fleeting beauty so cherished by mortals?

Because there's something they want in there.

She increasingly felt that Su Zhe's philosophy was very similar to that of her sister, Lei Dian.

"Is this what you've learned during this time?"

Ying was not so easily persuaded. She looked calmly at Su Zhe, wanting to get more answers.

Or rather, she harbored a deep longing to hear more 'familiar' words from Su Zhe 9, hoping to awaken her long-dormant heart.

She still wanted to hear it one more time.

This deep-seated dependence was forcibly sealed away the moment Raiden Shin left. Isolated and helpless, she could only endure the pain in her heart while, like a toddler learning to walk, groping her way forward with the devastated Inazuma on her back.

Originally, it was just in the exploratory stage, but the concept of permanence was forcibly implemented. Trying to run before you can walk will definitely lead to falling down.
