Zhongli, who was about to nod, paused for a moment: "So, the Hall Master also knows?"
Gu Jing laughed gleefully: "Isn't this only natural? After all, Tao Tao is a lovely girl too."
Zhong Li: "..." Bank, Old Dragon, speechless.jpg
That sixth brother!
******
Since things had come to this point, getting angry was futile. After adjusting his mood, Zhongli began to explain his thoughts from the beginning: "As you all know, I have lived for more than six thousand years in this world, and it was three thousand seven hundred years ago that I established Liyue with the immortals."
Even a rock that a whirlpool cannot break will be worn down by the erosion of time.
"I just keep telling myself that the day when it wears out and cracks hasn't come yet."
"Until one drizzly daytime..."
"I was strolling in the harbor when I overheard a merchant praising his subordinate: 'You have done your job. Now, go and rest.'"
"At that time, I stood in the crowd for a long time, constantly asking myself: Have I completed my duties?"
"But when I started to consider whether I should step down from my divine position... I realized that I still had many reasons why I couldn't leave."
"Liyue, the land that walks with the gods, is it ready to enter the next era?"
"I must create an opportunity for careful observation."
"Then we'll make a decision."
"That's why I staged this faked death..."
Hearing him say this, everyone could feel his emotions.
The elderly woman was clearly very tired, but she was also very worried about whether her child would be able to grow up independently.
Paimon couldn't help but press, "So what were the final results of the assessment?"
"Um..."
Zhongli pondered for a moment, then finally smiled and nodded: "My answer is, it exceeded expectations."
******
During this assessment, the immortals had no chance to make a move, but he noticed that they were all very restrained when they learned of his death.
What surprised him the most was, of course, Gu Jing, the biggest variable, this iron-willed sixth man.
However, Ningguang and the others were able to cling tightly to Gu Jing's coattails.
Isn't that a skill in itself?
However, this cooperative relationship was not very reliable, and Zhongli was still somewhat worried.
Moreover, in any case, he has now stepped down from his divine position.
unless--
【Ding! 】
[The host has triggered a new request!]
[The old man's wishes: ① To assume the position of the second Geo Archon as a human; ② To bind his interests with Liyue through marriage.]
[Completion Rewards: 10000 Primogems for completing requirement ①; 5000 Primogems for completing requirement ②.]
Seeing this, Gu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "..." This old man! He was just tricked once, and he's already thinking of tricking you back!
PS: I didn't go to sleep until after 6 pm yesterday because I was preparing for the release. I've been updating since 1 am, and only 4 updates are definitely slow, but I also have to ensure the quality of the content. Otherwise, I could have filled several chapters with just the part about sending the Immortal Ritual, and I'm obviously not that kind of person. So please don't say that I'm updating too little, that would be too unfair to me.

Chapter Forty-Five: Saving the world is no easy task! A true warrior!
Zhongli was undoubtedly a person who could keep his composure. Even if he had thoughts in his mind, he did not say them out loud immediately.
"The day for sending off the immortals will be in two days."
"I hope all three of you can be there."
Gu Jing and the other two smiled and nodded in response.
This old man, Zhong, was overjoyed to be holding his own funeral, even inviting friends and family.
[In a way, it's quite bizarre.]
However... why not offer him a ride?
The age of God has ended; the age of man is about to begin.
[Liyue.]
Are you ready?
Ningguang and the rest of the Liyue group smiled: ~Always ready!
However, on the other hand—
[With the defeat of Oser, Yingmei's newbie protection period has come to an end.]
The new map we're about to explore is the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
Unveiling the ancient kingdom buried by wind and snow.
[A word of caution: the secrets of this ancient kingdom are somewhat weighty; please be prepared.]
Of course, this is just a preview.
Before we truly begin exploring.
I always prepare a relaxing activity for myself and everyone else.
【after all...】
Saving the world is no easy task.
Everyone needs to know what problems Teyvat is facing.
[In this process, Yingmei will also understand why she was willing to save Teyvat.]
This is a two-way process.
To borrow a phrase from the game "Honkai Impact 3rd": We will transform this imperfect story into the form everyone hopes for.
【So--】
[Next is the time to relax!]
The expressions on everyone's faces varied: Hmm!
******
Two hours later, before sunset, I returned to my residence, where Hu Tao and the others, whom I had arranged to meet, were already there.
The strong and cheerful Beidou, the aloof and reserved Shenhe, the quirky and clever Hutao, the lively and adorable Xiangling, the energetic Yanfei, the well-behaved and sensible Yaoyao, the pretty and sweet Yunjin, the fiery and active Xinyan... the whole courtyard became unique because of their presence.
Then, under Xiangling's expectant gaze, Gu Jing took out the Explosive Flame Tree and Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard he had just killed from his storage space.
Not seeing the lonely old crane, he turned to Shen He and asked, "Ah He, where is your master?"
"My master..."
After a pause, the graceful Shen He lightly tossed her hair and said, "Senior Sister Gan Yu came by earlier and invited Master to Qunyu Pavilion."
"They probably won't be back until tonight."
"Master also said there's no need to wait for her."
Gu Jing: "..." I thought she had gone back to Mount Aozang after that big gasp.
"In that case..."
Let's set up the venue for tonight's event!
"After all, it's a gathering of young people."
"We have to get this party started!"
Upon hearing this, both Hu Tao and Xin Yan felt their DNA stir, and in the blink of an eye, they saw an open-air stage rapidly taking shape.
It looks similar to the stage where Yun Jin usually performs, except that the decorations and ribbons are still on the stage.
Seeing this, Hu Tao smiled and put her hands on her hips: "Not bad, not bad, you still know to leave us with some sense of participation."
"But you've gone to all this trouble to set up a stage, do you really expect to put on a show?"
"Let's agree on this beforehand."
"If the performance isn't good."
"This master will not applaud you."
Since the purpose was supposed to be relaxation, Gu Jing obviously didn't want to add any burden to everyone. The purpose of setting up the stage was to show a movie. As everyone gathered in the courtyard to eat hot pot, the screen on the stage began to play "Journey to the West," and it was the most classic 83 version, suitable for all ages!
Later, even the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, who had just finished his meeting, pulled a group of immortals to stand on the courtyard wall and watched with great interest.
******
Two days later, the Sending-Off-Immortal Ceremony was held as scheduled. Regarding the death of the Rock King Emperor, the Seven Stars still issued a notice saying that he had failed his tribulation.
Ningguang also delivered a speech at Yujing Terrace, saying that the Emperor's soul returned to the high heavens, which was the breaking of the contract and the end of an era. The long dream of the land of gods was endless, but after waking up, people learned to grow up and bid farewell to the past.
Upon confirming the death of the Rock King Emperor, the onlookers all wore sorrowful expressions.
But then Ningguang softly asked them, "After the contract is renewed, will you bless the next era?"
The people of Liyue present nodded and composed themselves. The man was gone, and they should learn to grow up, learn from the spirit of the Emperor and their predecessors, and offer their humble blessings to the next generation of Liyue Harbor.
Meanwhile, on the stands, gazing down at Liyue Harbor, Zhongli himself appeared relaxed and cheerful.
Paimon couldn't help but complain, while Zhongli chuckled: "Having unloaded the burden of 3,700 years, wouldn't you feel a little lighter?"
"By the way, when are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner at Xinyuexuan."
"There's no need to worry about Mora's problem either."
"The funds previously sponsored by Seven Stars to send the Immortal Ritual Gifts."
