Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Thinking of your family?

Ying didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

The Lantern Festival is a time for family reunions and joyful celebrations.

Xiangling's words just now reminded her of her brother.

Although she usually runs around and has no idea where Brother Long has been, Ying has not forgotten the purpose of her journey.

She always felt that her brother was nearby, but every time she tried to find him by following that feeling, she could never find him.

"Don't worry," Su Zhe chuckled. "Perhaps your brother is secretly watching you from somewhere."

Ying tilted her head.

"Is my brother... alright?"

"If you're worried, I'll calculate it for you."

"You can tell fortunes?"

"Of course, I am an immortal. I can see the past and present, observe yin and yang, and reverse the cycle of cause and effect with ease."

As he said this, Su Zhe pretended to crack his knuckles, looking like an old charlatan.

Then he looked up at the starry sky.

He silently murmured, "Destiny, it is revealed once again."

"Hmm... your brother, let me see, I've got it!"

“You and your brother are travelers from other worlds who have traveled across oceans. Hundreds of years ago, you experienced a great war and were stopped by the gods here. The gods took your brother away, and you fell into a deep sleep as a result, right?”

A look of surprise appeared in Ying's eyes.

"And then... oh, that's what the stars say." Su Zhe pointed to the sky, "The stars say that you will go through hardships, but please persevere. No matter what difficulties you encounter, they will eventually be resolved."

"As for your brother, he is in a very safe place, but he has his own mission to complete, so he cannot come to see you."

"Oh, by the way, if you ever meet someone named Daines Reeb, you have to find a way to get something out of him. He knows your brother."

"Dain?"

"Okay, that's all I can say."

Su Zhe reached out and gently patted Ying's head, smiling, "Keep it up, you're destined to ascend the throne."

Ying blinked.

Although Su Zhe's words were somewhat rambling, they still seemed believable.

Well, let's believe it for now, and then we can stop believing it when we can't anymore.

...

On the other side, inside the night market.

The biggest change at this year's Lantern Festival was definitely the promotion of Chinese chess.

As the Lantern Festival progresses, more and more people are paying attention to this event.

Ningguang specially organized a chess tournament, which attracted countless participants every day, and the prizes were also plentiful.

Unfortunately, the same person took away all the prizes every day.

At this moment.

The two were locked in a fierce battle at the chess tournament.

One of them looked young, but his demeanor was as steady as a mountain, and he spoke gently and slowly like an old man.

The other was a genuine old man, but with a fiery temper. Every move he made was aggressive, and his voice would be heard even before he moved.

But when playing chess, skill is what matters, not whoever shouts the loudest can win.

"Mr. Zhongli is truly amazing."

"It seems that Mr. Zhongli is the Singer again today."

"I never expected that even Mr. Zhao, who is known as the 'Chess Saint', would be no match for him."

Amidst the murmurs, Zhongli placed a piece, checkmating the Chess Saint.

"Mr. Zhongli wins the final round!"

As the referee's voice faded, the crowd gradually dispersed.

The young master squeezed his way in and finally saw Zhongli carrying a large bag of Mora as he walked out.

"Mr. Zhongli, over here, over here."

Looking at him, the young master laughed loudly, "You won again tonight, didn't you? Perfect, I won too. I've finally cleared that mechanical chessboard!"

These past few days, he hasn't gone anywhere from the night market; he's been focusing solely on studying the mechanical chess game.

As a valiant warrior of the Winter Kingdom, it is natural to challenge the most difficult things in every place.

Mechanical chess is one, and so is Chinese chess.

However, as long as Zhongli is in the chess game, it's fine, since Zhongli is also one of his Fools.

"Speaking of which, how's the matter I told you about last time? Is the Heart of the Rock God still with Su Zhe? I haven't finished my mission yet."

"From a generally rational perspective, perhaps so."

"Ok?"

"Perhaps not."

"what?"

The young master thought to himself, "Isn't this just stating the obvious? It's either true or it's not. But he guessed it was very likely true, though Su Zhe might not be telling the truth."

So these days, while playing the game of Go, he was also thinking about how to mess with Su Zhe.

But upon closer reflection, he realized he couldn't handle it on his own.

If we can't handle this and fail to complete the mission, we won't be able to return to Zhidong Kingdom.

What should we do?

"There will be a chance."

Zhongli said gently, as if to comfort him: "Don't rush, wait patiently, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared."

"is it?"

The young master thought about it and realized that it made sense.

"Haha~ That's right, isn't all the training we do just to prepare for the day we can prove ourselves?"

Having figured it out, the young master was immediately in a much better mood.

The two walked side by side, laughing as they headed into the distance.

After parting ways with Zhongli, the young master returned to the residence of the Fools. As soon as he entered, he saw a member of the Fools rushing over.

"Young Master, an urgent order!"

The young master was slightly taken aback. Following the news, he arrived at a cliff on the east side of Liyue Harbor.

From afar, one could see a solitary and noble figure bathed in moonlight.

He hurried over and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

The figure, bathed in the aura of frost, was surrounded by a misty fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

Just by standing there quietly, it gives people a great sense of oppression.

She snapped out of her daze and looked at the young master with indifferent eyes.

"The tasks I assigned you have failed time and time again. If I don't come, are you going to stay in Liyue?"

Chapter 46 The Three Gods Gather: What Divine Heart Does Su Zhe Possess?

On the cliff, the young master was filled with questions.

What do you mean by failing again and again? Didn't he just start?

He's always been in Liyue, and he's been secretly planning all along.

The last time the ritual to invite immortals was an accident; he didn't do anything at all, yet Su Zhe locked him up in jail.

If that counts, then it was only once.

But since the gods say so, then so be it.

"Your Majesty, I now suspect that the Heart of the Rock God is on Su Zhe. I have already figured out a way to verify it. Please give me a little more time."

The Ice Queen glanced at her indifferently.

"Didn't I have someone inform you that it's the Heart of the Wind God?"

“The Heart of the Wind God shouldn’t be here,” the young master said. “Su Zhe is now the leader of all the Asmodians in Liyue. It’s impossible for the Wind God to have given him the Heart of the Wind God, right? Besides, I also had someone Su Zhe absolutely trust ask him, and he said it wasn’t there.”

"A person I trust? Ha~"

The Ice Queen gave a soft snort.

"How could the secrets of the gods be easily revealed? What kind of god is the Geo God? You know too little about him. You orchestrated that summoning ceremony just to watch Liyue develop from behind the scenes."

"Moreover, given Liyue's current situation, it's impossible for it to leave the protection of the Geo Archon. This kingdom has already reached the pinnacle of the Teyvat continent, and it was the Geo Archon's hand that lifted it up. Once it loses the support of the god, the cold winds from above can tear it apart bit by bit."

Has the God of Geo abdicated?

The Ice Queen doesn't believe it.

That's all just an act for outsiders!

"On the contrary, the Anemo Archon has been neglecting Mondstadt for thousands of years, and as far as I know, the heart of the Anemo Archon is no longer with the Anemo Archon."

"Oh."

The young master said nothing.

But I had my own thoughts.

If it's not with the Wind God, then it must be with Su Zhe.
