Genshin Impact, start by playing as the Herrscher of the Void

Faced with Janna's strange answer, Zhongli couldn't help but guess this. After all, he had seen many visitors from other worlds during this period of time.

However, he did not intend to continue asking questions, because it would be too rude to Janna, and it was not good to ask too many questions about one thing.

"Yes, very far away."

Turning to look at Paimon, Janna smiled and emphasized it again.

"I see. Then I'll tell you my name. You can call me Zhongli. I'm a guest official from Liyue's Hall of Rebirth."

Remembering that he hadn't introduced himself yet, Zhongli briefly told her about his news.

So why didn't Wangsheng Hall kick you out? Is it because you are the God of Rocks?

When she thought about how she and he had spent the whole day drinking tea, listening to books and walking the bird, Janna wondered why he could continue to stay in the Hall of Rebirth and why he could always send the bills to the Hall of Rebirth. It was so strange.

"Do you know each other?"

At this time, Ying, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but speak.

Because both Janna and Paimon seemed to know the man in front of them, but she was seeing him for the first time.

"That's not the way to say it. I should say that I know you all. You didn't know me before this. Of course, this doesn't include Miss Cana."

In response to Ying's question, Zhongli answered her like this.

"Yes, what happened during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony has now spread throughout Liyue. Now we are the heroes of Liyue—"

Seeing that Ying still looked confused, Paimeng explained it to her.

"Then I wonder what Mr. Zhongli wants to do? Is there something he wants to ask me to do?"

Even though Paimon said this, Ying knew that this man named Zhongli would definitely not come to them just to chat. This was what her previous experience in Mond told her.

"I know you are looking for the Rock God, so I think you should want to see the Rock God's Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation."

Seeing Ying speak so directly, Zhongli no longer hid his purpose.

Although he knew that Qixing would release the news that the Emperor was not dead, he still wanted to do so because it was just a way for him to gain Ying's trust.

Moreover, he had a hunch that the Seven Stars would satisfy him in the end, so he was now preparing things to send him off.

"Eh? Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation? What is that?"

Paimon didn't understand what this unfamiliar word meant when he heard it for the first time.

"It should be a corpse, right?"

Before Zhong left, Janna expressed her opinion.

"Well... you can say that. But the custom in Liyue has always been like this. Many things are given elegant names because of taboos or to express their nobility. They are usually not stated directly. If Miss Janna could stay in Liyue for a longer time, you would definitely understand this -"

Zhongli didn't expect Janna to be so straightforward, so he had to tell her about Liyue's customs and habits.

"Customs and habits? They seem very interesting. I will try them out. But is it okay for you to talk about these things in front of me?" With a smile, Janna showed a very interested expression on her face.

"Of course not. Although these things are not well-known, they are not important secrets either."

Shaking his head, Zhongli indicated that this was not an important matter.

But for some reason, he always felt that Janna seemed to have a different interest in Liyue's customs and habits, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"In that case, Mr. Zhongli, can I join you? I always feel that these things are very interesting."

Just like Morax, Janna wanted to watch how things developed.

"Yes... no problem. It would be great if Miss Cana could experience the customs and habits of Liyue."

After thinking for a moment, Zhongli nodded and agreed to Janna's request.

Although Zhongli had no idea about her background, it was precisely because of this that he agreed to her request.

In any case, Janna was so strange that even he, the Rock God, couldn't see her clearly, so he wanted to observe her carefully during this process.

Moreover, now that Morax, the rock god who is in charge of Liyue, is dead, there may be other forces or even visitors from outside the world who want to take the opportunity to cause trouble in Liyue, so Janna must keep an eye on it.

"So you can take us to see the corpse of the Rock God... the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation?"

Seeing that Janna and Zhongli had finished talking, Ying quickly confirmed with him.

Even though Yan Shen is dead now, she still wants to see his body to confirm whether he is the god who captured her brother. This is very important to her.

"Yes, whether it is inviting gods or sending gods off, the Wangsheng Hall is qualified to participate in it, and you will naturally be able to take this opportunity to see the immortal ancestor's transformation of Emperor Yanwang." Taking a sip of hot tea, Zhongli finally asked the question that Ying was most concerned about.

"Then what should I do?" Now that she had confirmed what she wanted to know, Ying didn't want to wait any longer.

"Of course we need to prepare some things. You have already seen the ceremony of inviting the immortals, so now we need to prepare things for the ceremony of sending the immortals. Let's meet here later. I will go back and get some funds first."

Having said that, Zhongli stood up and left after saying these words.

Send it to yourself?

It's really interesting——

Now Janna feels that Morax is still a very interesting person.

190~I heard that there is a being called Ruotu Dragon King in your Liyue

Liyue.

At this time, Janna and her group had already finished dinner and were sitting in the somewhat deserted restaurant waiting for Zhongli's arrival.

"That Zhongli is here."

Suddenly, Paimon, who looked a little listless, pointed in a direction and shouted loudly.

From just now till now, after waiting for a while, several people finally waited for Zhongli to return to the Hall of Rebirth to get the funds.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As soon as he walked in, Zhongli had a slightly apologetic look on his face.

Although it didn't actually take him that long, he did it anyway.

"So shall we start now? What should we do first?"

For a being of the level of the God of Geo, Paimon was very curious about how Zhongli would handle his affairs after his death.

"Yes, let's start now. The first step is to..."

"Excuse me, is the traveler from Mondstadt and her flying pet here?"

Just when Zhongli was about to say what he would do first, a quiet girl's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he recognized the owner of that voice.

"What pet? I am the traveler's companion. Remember, I am a companion!! A companion——"

When he heard someone calling him like this again, Paimon didn't care who the owner of the voice was, and directly emphasized his own identity, while his two little feet were stomping on the air frantically in mid-air.

"It turns out to be Miss Ganyu. It seems that she is the person you are looking for."

As he spoke, Zhongli pointed in the direction of Ying.

He knew that Ganyu came here now because Ningguang wanted to tell them those things, that is, to tell them that the Geo King was not actually dead.

As for whether he wanted them to cooperate so that the people of Liyue would believe that the Emperor was not really dead, or to continue to keep them in the dark, Zhongli had no idea.

"You are...Mr. Zhongli, right?"

Ganyu knew a little about the knowledgeable Mr. Zhongli in the Wangsheng Hall, but that was all.

But for some reason, she always felt that Zhongli gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn't put it into words for the time being.

"Exactly——"

"Are you looking for me? I am a traveler from Mondstadt, but Paimon is not my pet. She is just emergency food."

From what she heard, Ying felt that the girl standing at the door with a pair of strange horns should be looking for her.

"Hmph~ Did you hear me? I'm not a pet. I'm a traveler's emergency... What emergency food? I'm a traveler's companion--"

Paimon, who was standing with her hands on her hips in mid-air and looking very proud, realized halfway through her words that Ying was insulting her again, and quickly emphasized the issue of her identity again.

Ganyu: “…”

Zhongli: "..."

Seeing this happening in front of her, Ganyu didn't know what to say for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said directly: "Hello, travelers from afar, I am the messenger of the Liyue Seven Stars and the secretary of Yuehai Pavilion - Ganyu, this time I have something to talk to you about."

"The messenger of the Seven Stars? It seems that there was a person named Ningguang just now who was the Seven Stars."

At this time, Paimeng remembered the person who arranged accommodation for them before, and it was also she who performed the ceremony of inviting the immortals at that time.

"That's right, Miss Ningguang is one of the Seven Stars, and I'm here on her behalf this time." Ganyu nodded and continued, "So please come with me. Miss Ningguang will meet you in the Jade Pavilion and discuss some things with you. Oh, and your friend, Miss Yulandel, is already up there."

"Wow~ The messenger of the Seven Stars actually wants to meet us? Could it be that... because of the matter regarding the previous invitation ceremony, she wants to give us some kind of reward?"

At this moment, Paimeng became more and more excited the more she thought about it. She knew what the Seven Stars represented in Liyue, not to mention the Tianquan Star.

"Then can you tell me what Miss Ningguang wants to discuss?"

Without thinking too much like Paimon, Ying decided to find out why Ningguang was looking for him.

"I don't know about this either. You will know after you meet Miss Ningguang."

Shaking her head, Ganyu said that she didn't know what was going on.

"Since it is Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, who invited you, then you should go and take a look. You may get what you want. You don't have to worry about what I say. You will still see what you are supposed to see."

Seeing Ying hesitating, Zhongli took out the thing she was most interested in.

He knew that the traveler would most likely bring back the news that the Rock King was not dead, which meant that the ceremony of sending the immortal away would most likely not be carried out.

But even so, everything he did before was not in vain, because he believed that the Seven Stars would eventually satisfy him. Once that time came, the ceremony of sending the immortals would still have to continue, and he could let the traveler continue to join in and then take the opportunity to tell her his identity.

"Okay then, I'll go with you now." After listening to what Zhongli said, Ying accepted Ningguang's invitation.

"What about Janna? She..."

Although she was very excited about meeting Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, Paimon was still a little worried about Janna, because Janna gave her the feeling of a homeless woman who was stranded in a foreign land.

"Don't worry about me, just do your thing. And the story happening here is very exciting, I will watch it carefully."

Seeing that Paimon was worried about her, Cana, who had been silent all the time, also spoke up.

"Don't worry, Miss Jana, I will do my best to arrange for her. When you are done with your business, you can go to the Hall of the Dead to find her. What do you think, Miss Jana?"

Zhongli didn't know whether Janna understood that his arrangement was actually surveillance, but he still wanted to ask her opinion and see her reaction. If that didn't work, he would try another way.

Anyway, no matter what, he would not force it now. After all, he didn't know Janna's background at all, and it would be troublesome if he made a mistake.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Zhongli." There was no strange reaction, and Janna accepted Zhongli's suggestion very calmly.

"In that case, Paimon and I will leave first."

After saying that, Ying and Paimeng followed Ganyu out.

"Mr. Zhongli, I heard that there is a being called Ruota Dragon King in your Liyue, and it is also a good friend of the recently murdered Rock King. But because humans are mining ore on a large scale, it has become an enemy of humans and Rock King, is that right?"

After several people left here, Janna suddenly asked Zhongli this question.

"Yes... it is true, but those stories have gone through countless years after all. In addition, the soul of the Rock King has passed away, so the truth is probably hard to know."

Zhongli was stunned for a moment as he didn't expect Janna to ask such a question, but he quickly reacted.

"Do you think this will happen again?"

191~Zhongli and Ningguang's plan becomes increasingly confused

"Well... this kind of thing... I can only say that it is not certain. Whether it is a god or a mortal, they are just passing by in front of the world. Moreover, even the world cannot be eternal, so no one can know what will happen in the future."

Zhongli came to this conclusion after thinking for a while about Janna's words while looking at the sky outside through the open window.

It is precisely because he understands these things that Zhongli has the idea of ​​retiring. Of course, there are other reasons as well.

"Mr. Zhongli's cognition is indeed extraordinary. But if you ask me, since there is one, there will be two, and three, unless there are only humans in this world. Otherwise, such things will keep happening until the moment when all things come to an end. But even if all things come to an end, new life will still reappear in the long years, and even repeat the previous mistakes. So is this repetitive existence a torture? Or is it an opportunity for change? Or is it a boring script that has been arranged long ago? What do you think, Mr. Zhongli~"

Janna stood up and walked to the door, looking at the sky above her head. With a slight smile on her face, she turned around and looked at Zhongli behind her.

Um...

Looking at Janna, Zhongli fell into deep thought for a rare moment.

Honestly, he was stumped by the question because he had never witnessed anything like this, nor had he thought about anything like this.

But at the same time, he was very confused. Why would Janna ask such a question?

Could it be...she has experienced something like this? !

"I didn't expect Miss Cana to have such a brilliant idea, but I am just a mortal and I have no way to answer such a question. Even the gods who are high above me may not be able to answer this question. After all, the oldest gods have only experienced more than 6,000 years, which is nothing compared to the vast world, let alone witnessing the end of all things."
