Honkai Impact: Hyperion Journey

Zhongli is now numb. All the people above him can see that he is faking his death, but they still pretend that he really believes he is dead. It is obvious that they are playing a prank on him.

He could have faked his death and gotten away with it, then slacked off like Wendy did, but now that he's done this, it looks like he's going to lose his reputation.

"Hehehe, is it fun? Is it a surprise? Morax, this is the fun we specially prepared!" Aha asked with a very evil look.

Zhongli: "..."

Zhongli’s fists hardened. This madman was really good at provoking people’s anger. If he could move, he would have definitely fired a Sky Star at him.

What a surprise! Now he wants to leave Teyvat and go to a place where no one knows him.

Especially when I think of the mocking looks from those acquaintances later, Zhongli wants to die now, can't you just let me fake my death? (End of this chapter)

Chapter 7: Drunkard, Come and Die

"Morax, why did you leave us?"

Ajiu walked forward pitifully, unable to suppress the smile on his face. Hahaha, it was so satisfying. Morax, you were so wise all your life, but you left behind such a dark history. I, King Ruotu, can laugh at you for hundreds of years.

Zhongli opened his eyes wide and felt a black screen before his eyes. Isn’t this Ruota?

Why did he not feel anything when she broke through the seal? What was going on?

Ningguang was a little embarrassed now, her face disheveled, and she didn't cry with the people of Liyue. These people seemed to be no simple people. After their IQs were turned on, she suddenly figured out a lot of problems.

How could Liyue's Rock God be assassinated so easily? If someone could really kill the Rock God silently, Liyue would have been destroyed long ago.

Moreover, although there is the aura of the emperor on the dragon's body, it does not have the emperor's pressure. Otherwise, the power emitted by the dragon's body alone would be enough to kill most of the people present.

Those wearing Nuo masks seem to be the Yakshas recorded in historical documents. They were also the original pioneers and heroes of Liyue. However, they seemed to have fallen. How could they appear again?

Then the remaining people might be the incarnations of the immortals. She would not expose their identities now. Since they were all acting, she could only go along with the performance.

Otherwise, the Seven Stars cannot afford the blame from the immortal.

But when she thought about the Emperor being assassinated, she felt like an idiot. It was clearly the Emperor who was acting.

She wanted to slap herself now. As for the previous action of heating the oil in the wok, although it was not her intention, she hoped that the Emperor would not take it to heart. Maybe the Emperor was among the crowd present, watching everything that happened here.

And the fact was just as Ningguang guessed. Zhongli was now motionless and could only watch those people doing things. His crying was so realistic that it was hard to tell that they were acting. But to his ears, it just sounded like a tease, which made his blood pressure soar.

"Everyone, now that the emperor has been murdered, we can't just let the murderer go. We must find the real murderer and avenge the emperor!" Wendy wiped her tears, her eyes red, her voice sad and powerful.

Oh my god, this onion is so strong that Wendy can't stop crying now. She regrets applying so much.

"Revenge for the Emperor!"

Sure enough, the Liyue Emperor's chefs, who were unaware of the situation, raised their right hands and shouted loudly, with angry looks on their faces. They would not give up until the murderer was found.

For the Emperor's fans, as long as you stand on the Emperor's side, you are their friend and they will not doubt anything.

Zhongli’s fists were clenched. Damn drunkard, just wait for me!

The murderer? Isn't that him?

Gui Zhong and others almost laughed out loud, you are worthy of being Barbatos, when it comes to causing trouble, you have to be the one!

Ningguang slapped her forehead helplessly. Now it was even more chaotic. All the people present were people she couldn't afford to offend. They were either immortals or gods. Why did such a weird thing happen when it was her turn to be in charge of the immortal ceremony?

Originally, the people of Liyue could have been dispersed quickly, but now they can only improvise. This matter should not be that simple. The Emperor must have a reason for doing this.

Yingmei and Paimon were standing at the front, looking at this very strange scene, and their bodies subconsciously stepped back. This action just caught the attention of Qianyan Army, and they started chasing them directly.

Zhang Wei and the others had strange expressions on their faces. At this moment, as long as they did not move, the Qianyan Army would not take any ruthless action. But if you ran, it meant that you were guilty, and if you were guilty, you might be an assassin.

Next, Dada Duck should appear, defeat a few Thousand Rocks soldiers, and then let Yingmei go to find the immortals. However, this time he will be disappointed, because except for Xiao in Wangshu Inn, all other immortals are in Liyue Harbor.

Ningguang also saw the commotion here and frowned. Isn't this the honorary knight of the Knights of Mondstadt?

Could it be related to her? But why are you running? They won’t accuse you wrongly.

After an hour of screening, Ningguang waved her hand and asked the people on Yujing Terrace to leave. It was impossible for them to stay here forever, and this was obviously a trap set by the Emperor.

At this moment, in the desolate suburbs of Liyue, there are few people and few ordinary people, but Zhongli and others are gathered here.

Wendy was terrified. The old man's calm behavior was clearly a sign that a volcano was about to erupt.

And those immortals were all very embarrassed. After all, they were also participants just now. But it was indeed very exciting and enjoyable.

"Emperor, why are you doing this?" Xianyun asked puzzledly. They didn't quite understand the emperor's deep meaning.

"Three thousand seven hundred years have passed. Under my protection, Liyue has grown, so I plan to give the Liyue Seven Stars and the Liyue people a test..." Zhongli said slowly.

He was now feeling extremely embarrassed and socially awkward, after all, so many acquaintances knew about it, but he still acted so exaggeratedly. At that time, he even wanted to dig out a Liyue Harbor with his toes.

Xianyun and the others were thinking there, while Guizhong was looking at Zhongli angrily. What a stupid person she was. She had been standing there for such a long time, but no one came to ask her what was going on!

Sure enough, even after thousands of years, Zhongli is still the same character, unromantic, and deserves to be single until now.

The four Yakshas could all feel that the resentment in their hearts had now solidified into substance. It was so scary that they dared not speak.

"Hey, old man, I'll leave first!"

Wendy flew away from here directly. If she didn’t run away, she would be suppressed by Zhongli soon!

"Where to run!"

Zhongli's eyes were wide open, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time turned into a star, streaking across the sky and falling towards Wendy. Wendy was startled, thinking that the old man was really angry, and hurriedly increased his speed.

Zhongli immediately moved, holding the Piercing Rainbow Spear, and chased after Wendy. He couldn't quell his anger unless he gave Wendy a good beating. How dare this drunkard stab him in the back? Did he forget the beating he received that year! ?

On that day, many people saw this phenomenon and thought it was a shooting star across the sky, so they made a wish there.

As for Wendy's screams, no one heard them because they were too far away, otherwise it would have been heartbreaking to hear them.

"hateful!"

"This stone!"

Gui Zhong stomped her feet in frustration. Is Wendy more important than her?

She had been looking forward to this meeting very much, but now that expectation was gone completely. Zhongli's unromantic side had not changed at all and was the same as it had been thousands of years ago.

She was really angry. If Zhongli didn't comfort her, she would absolutely ignore him again.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 198 Qunyu Pavilion

"Old man, stop chasing us, we can't be seen over there!"

Wendy, with a bruised face and nose, turned around and shouted at Zhongli.

There was not much anger on Zhongli's face now. After all, this time at most he would die socially, and Liyue and other things would not suffer any substantial losses. Beating up Venti was just a symbolic way to vent his anger, and there was absolutely no selfish motive.

Wendy stopped. The old man's fists were still as powerful as ever. His face was swollen. But maybe he was a little biased. The immortals and yakshas turned a blind eye and just stared at him and beat him up.

"Barbatos, what is your purpose?"

Zhongli frowned. To be honest, when Jiumengzi threw himself on the dragon's body and cried, his mind was really blank. He did not tell Wendy about this.

In fact, the only people who knew about the fake death were Grandma Ping and Xiao. The other immortals were not told, and now everything is messed up.

"Hey, what purpose could I have? It's just more fun this way." Wendy said with a playful look on her face.

He is not a serious type and he has played pranks on many people in the past. For example, he replaced the Ice Queen's scepter with the Hilliard Shaman's wooden stick, and so on. So his reputation is not very good.

"Is it the little girl in the mask and those strange people?"

Zhongli touched his chin. If there were any variables, they would be people like Zhang Wei, whom he couldn't see through. Only they could shake his plan.

After the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Xiao Ha released him, but Zhongli could not find Xiao Ha, as if he had never appeared.

"As expected of an old man, but they are just having fun, so it's best not to make enemies with them!"

Wendy said with appreciation, and then his expression became very solemn. He could feel how terrifying these people were. For Teyvat, it was a dimensionality reduction attack.

To put it a little more exaggeratedly, for the sake of all living beings in the world, we should not offend these people.

"But... don't worry, these people are here for fun, and it's still very interesting to hang out with them!" Wendy said with a smile.

Even though he shed a lot of tears today because of the accident, he was still happy. After all, there were not many opportunities to make fun of Grandpa Zhongli, so he should cherish every opportunity!

Zhongli looked at Wendy speechlessly, his fists clenched. Today's fun was gained from him. He wanted to beat up this drunkard Wendy again. It was too infuriating. If he had known earlier, he would not have met this bad friend.

"Grandpa, you see, I have helped you get out of that embarrassing situation, so let's just forget about it!" Wendy rubbed her hands and negotiated.

"Ah!"

Zhongli sneered, "You bastard, who do you think caused my embarrassment today?" But Wendy did help him just now.

In the end, they appeared too suddenly, and he hadn't thought about what to say yet, so if he continued to stay there, he would be caught in an awkward atmosphere, so he took the opportunity to leave while Wendy was being beaten.

There is no doubt that Guizhong is very special. Zhongli feels a little guilty in his heart. They are allies, but he cannot protect them.

After glaring at Wendy, the two of them landed. They had a very good relationship. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally they wanted to reminisce about the past.

"Guizhong, are you really back?"

Xianyun embraced Guizhong, and even the emperor couldn't do such a thing as coming back to life, so she was afraid that this would only be a flash in the pan.

"Liuyun, of course I am alive, but I haven't seen you in this state for a long time!"

Gui Zhong patted Liu Yun on the back, then looked at her with interest. They were all good sisters back then, so Liu Yun also transformed into a human form to get along with them.

“If we use our immortal body to enter Liyue Harbor, it will attract too much attention!” Xianyun said.

"Who among you... resurrected?"

The gods of Sky Island should not have this ability, and even if they do, they would not have nothing to do but do this.

Gui Zhong smiled and began to explain their "benefactors".

Xianyun and the others became more speechless the more they listened. They resurrected Guizhong just to see the Emperor break down. How idle and bad of a taste do they have to have? In some ways, they are even worse than Barbatos.

To put it nicely, such people do whatever they want; to put it bluntly, they have no taboos.

For fun, one can revive others, but for fun, one may also do even worse things.

The most crucial thing is that this kind of person is still in Liyue Harbor. Even the Emperor may find it difficult to deal with him.

Back then, Alice was a witch who gave the Emperor a headache. If the Emperor had not followed her, Liyue Harbor would probably have sunk into the sea by now.

"Lord Xiaoha has promised that he will not do anything to blow up Teyvat." Guizhong pointed his chin and said calmly.

Xianyun and the others were also shocked by these casual words. It was simply too outrageous. Could it be that he would blow up Teyvat just because of a disagreement? Where did this ultimate terrorist come from?

This is because they didn't know that Aha had once blown up the Star Train, otherwise they would be even more uneasy now.

However, Teyvat is too small to be tormented by Aha. If one is not careful, it will explode and be completely destroyed.

"I apologize for disturbing your time. I will compensate you later!"

Zhang Wei and others were also invited to the Qun Yu Pavilion. The Emperor was like a dragon that was hard to find, and this time he even faked his death, so he could not be found at all. Although these outsiders were very dangerous, Ningguang still wanted to take a risk to find out whether they were friends or enemies.

"The flying fortress in the sky is not about technology, it's all about hard work!" Expert Wei Wei stepped on the floor under her feet, and there was not much modern technology.

This Jade Pavilion is not a high-tech creation. Its main body is a floating stone. Newton probably has no control over the things in this world, otherwise he would definitely jump out by opening the coffin lid.

Zhang Wei deeply agreed. The technology in this world was a bit biased. It was clearly like a primitive society, but Xumi had epoch-making equipment like the Void Terminal, and there was a country like Fontaine whose technological level was at the forefront of the seven countries, and there were also various tillage machines in Kanreya.

There are really very few technological products for civilian use, which makes people want to explore how they became like this. Is it because of restrictions from someone, or is it that the scientists here have too bizarre thinking patterns?

"Liyue is somewhat lacking in technology," Ningguang said with some surprise. Weierwei's clothing style was very similar to that of Fontaine.

Liyue's return to the end, to be exact, was created by an immortal, otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 199: Rock God's Selection

Facing the captain and the heroes, Ningguang was under a lot of pressure. Even when facing the Emperor, she didn't have this feeling. She had to think several times before saying every word, for fear of saying something wrong and causing unpredictable consequences.

"Miss Ningguang, don't be so nervous. We haven't done anything bad!" Zhang Wei smiled helplessly.

Not to mention Ningguang, even Zhongli might not be able to remain calm when facing the gaze of the Thirteen Heroes, but Ningguang did not lose her composure, which is enough to show her magnanimity.

The ones crying were Wendy and the immortal, so it had nothing to do with those of us who were just watching the fun.

Ningguang's mouth twitched slightly. You guys really didn't do anything bad, but I still feel uneasy. It's like a time bomb that can explode at any time.

"Do you know the Emperor?" Ningguang thought about it and felt that it was too coincidental. With the Emperor's calmness, it shouldn't be the case that Wendy and the others would cry loudly.

"Clap!"
