For the time being, don't let Jiang Ning go to Xumi. After all, he hasn't grown to the point where he can face the abyss alone.

This was the first time that Zhongli was so cautious.

After all, Jiang Ning might be Teyvat's hope for a comeback.

Inazuma...maybe it's a good place, but before that, you can get that drunkard into the group first.

Zhongli's eyes flickered.

128. Congratulations, you have successfully usurped the throne

The news that Emperor Yanwang had reappeared in the Qun Yu Pavilion spread like wildfire.

Everyone in Liyue Harbor was overjoyed, but when they learned that the Emperor had personally ordered the preparation of a ceremony to send off the immortals, everyone was still a little confused.

What is the Emperor going to do?

However, there are still some people who have some guesses, but they just don't tell others.

Instead, they began to produce and sell Jiangning's sculptures on a large scale.

There are even some who rush to register trademarks.

The Fatui also became a target of public condemnation.

With everyone working together and the Immortals also helping generously, the Fatui were almost wiped out in just three days.

The rest are like fugitives in hiding, not daring to show their heads at all.

The Northland Bank was also surrounded, and all the personnel inside had left. Even the Mora stored by everyone had been moved away.

This caused many people to lose all their money and almost jump off the building.

However, Ningguang and the others took action at this time, and Liyue Bank officially opened for business, and guaranteed that these Mora could be withdrawn from her.

As for where Mora came from, the coinage of the Golden House is one aspect, and the other is that the debts owed by the Liyue people to the Northern Bank were left to Liyue, whether intentionally or unintentionally, so Liyue must at least recover this part of the debt.

In general, Liyue Bank is now on the right track, and everyone is attracted by this novel way of operation.

As for those who cooperated with the Fatui or had ulterior motives, all of them were liquidated after this time.

Jiang Ning absorbed a large amount of the demon god's residue, and after returning, he began to digest it in seclusion.

This just gave Zhongli some time to prepare.

In addition, the immortals also knew Zhongli’s thoughts and sent their blessings one after another. Of course, there were also complaints about Xiao, Xianyun and Ge Chen.

They are all colleagues, why didn't you tell them earlier?

In response to this, Xianyun said that it was because you didn’t keep your mouth shut enough.

…………

"Mr. Zhongli, you really deceived me so badly. I didn't expect that you are Morax?"

In a remote courtyard, Tartaglia was wrapped in bandages and his face was pale. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

In front of him, Zhongli was drinking tea leisurely. He looked up at Tartaglia and said:

"But this time, your desire to fight against the strong in Liyue has been satisfied, right?"

Tartaglia said: "Yeah, I didn't expect the Traveler to be so strong. Moreover, this time, I also realized my shortcomings. It seems that I have to work hard after returning."

"That's enough. How long are you going to talk about this? Let's stop talking about this meaningless topic."

The third person present was a lady who looked somewhat arrogant. Perhaps it was Venti who gave her the confidence, and the fact that Zhongli always looked calm during this period of time, which made the lady seem to gradually forget her awe of the gods.

Zhongli just glanced at the lady without saying anything. In his opinion, arrogance and pride are the beginning of leading people to destruction.

This was true for Kanreya back then, and perhaps it is true for the lady now as well.

Tartaglia couldn't help but glance at his colleague.

Is this guy so brave?

Coincidentally, Ying received a notification from Zhongli at this time and came over:

"Madam?! And Master, why are you here? And Mr. Zhongli, these two are very dangerous, step back!"

As soon as she entered the door, Ying put on a vigilant look.

The lady ignored Ying and said directly:

"So, what does Her Majesty want, Morax?"

Zhongli looked at the lady calmly, then took out his Heart of God:

"So, the contract is done. I will grant you what you requested."

"Hmph, such a condescending tone..."

The lady was a little unhappy, but still took the Heart of God. She looked at Ying with disdain again, then swayed her charming figure and left.

When he left, he turned back and said, "Daddalia, when are you going back?"

Tartaglia said, "It will be soon. I will wait until my injury gets better. But I will not go back. Her Majesty the Queen has other plans for me."

Hearing this, the lady did not stay and left in a hurry.

“Wait, wait, Zhongli, you, you are Morax?!”

Ying was dumbfounded, and subconsciously thought of not the problem of the Heart of God, but how could you, a God of Precious Gold, not have Mora? !

"No, Heart of God, why are you giving the Heart of God to the lady?"

Ying asked quickly.

Zhongli said: "The Heart of God is just an external object, not an important thing. I have a contract with the Ice Queen, and the Heart of God is a weight on the scale."

Ying seemed to understand, but she still knew that the Heart of God was not taken by the Fatui, but was given voluntarily by Zhongli... Seeing this, Barbatos's dignity dropped again.

"Traveler, come with me. I know you have many questions. If I can tell you, I will answer them one by one."

Zhongli said.

"okay."

After leaving, Tartaglia sighed, feeling quite helpless.

One by one, they all ignored me... Never mind, I'll go back to Winter when this is all over.

However, this time, I was really happy to make that rich guy lose so much money.

…………

A week passed in a flash, and all preparations for the ceremony of sending off the immortals were completed.

Yujing Terrace was also crowded with people. They looked at the row of Champa immortals on the high platform and knew that something big might happen today.

Ningguang and Keqing were also standing on the platform, but not in the middle. Instead, they stood on both sides, respectfully waiting for something.

The people of Liyue below seemed to understand something as well. They stretched their necks straight and their eyes widened.

Afraid of missing something.

Following closely behind was Zhongli, who was dressed in divine clothes and transformed into a human form. As he appeared, Keqing and Ningguang also bowed respectfully.

"Welcome the Emperor!"

Ningguang's voice rang out, followed by a uniform shout:

"Welcome the Emperor!"

After this sentence, everyone burst into conversation.

"I told you, how could anything happen to the Emperor?"

"No, it fell from the sky. Why?"

"Humph, what do you know? The Emperor must have a reason for doing this!"

"Everyone."

Zhongli's calm and solemn voice sounded, like a silencer. Everyone present fell silent spontaneously, looking at Zhongli fanatically.

There were even many people who knelt on the ground, praying for Zhongli's blessing.

"Many people are wondering what happened during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony."

"That was one of my plans, an assessment, an assessment for Liyue."

"I often wonder, have I fulfilled my duty of protecting Liyue for over 3,600 years? Even rocks will occasionally feel tired after being washed away by time."

"Looking at the gradual growth of Liyue, I also have a bold idea."

"I wanted to see your efforts and unity in difficult situations, and to see if you could get through them without relying on Morax. You passed the test of the Whirlpool Demon and his followers very well."

"You are my pride."

The Liyue people below all straightened their chests and their faces were flushed.

Some people think that it is not easy for the Emperor. He has been protecting the ancestors, building Liyue, and guarding Liyue for so many years. Is the Emperor tired?

"So, I will return power to the people. The era of Liyue's divine rule will eventually pass. The remaining time is for you, the people of Liyue, to move forward on your own."

"And I, Morax, will gradually step down from the position of Rock God in the days ahead, and guard you behind the scenes. I think it's time for me to take a break. The immortal will also return to the world and become an ordinary person, exercising the right to supervise the Seven Stars and Eight Gates."

Zhongli's words were like a bomb that exploded the entire place.

"Emperor! We can't live without you! Emperor!"

"What are you talking about? The Emperor has worked so hard, and he is just protecting us behind the scenes, what is there to be afraid of!"

"Yes, it's time for the Emperor to take a good rest."

"That's right, we can't let the Emperor down!"

Zhongli raised his hand and the audience fell silent again.

"This time, the ceremony of sending off the ancestor of all immortals is considered to be a ceremony of resignation. However, it is necessary for the gods to rule. They are the foundation of a country and the last barrier. Therefore, the position of the Rock God cannot be vacant."

"Here, I will gradually pass on the throne of the Rock God to my disciple, and he will be the next Rock God."

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light shone in the sky, and Jiang Ning slowly descended from the sky and stood on the stage.

After many days of seclusion, he had absorbed the authority of the Vortex Demon. With the soul power mutated from the Undead Demon and the power of the God of Precious Gold copied and absorbed from his master, he now had complete power.

"Jiangning?!"

"Isn't he the junior fellow apprentice of Master Ganyu? The disciple of the Immortal Family?"

"Why, how did you become the Emperor's disciple?"

"Nonsense, it must be the Emperor's decision!"

"Wait, as I recall, he only called the immortal who had just arrived in Liyue his master, and also... the guest official Zhongli from the Wangsheng Hall?"

"Could it be that?!"

"No wonder Zhongli Keqing from Wangsheng Hall is so knowledgeable and talented, and he looks steady and mature beyond his age. Could he be the incarnation of the Emperor?"

"Damn, the Emperor once came to my house for dinner and said the food was delicious."

"Me too, the Emperor likes to listen to my stories!"

"Bring honor to our family, family members!"

The audience was talking at once, and as a group of people discussed, they basically connected some of Zhongli's usual abnormalities together, and then exposed Zhongli's true identity.

Zhong Li's heart also skipped a beat under the hood.

It’s broken, the vest is gone.

Xianyun on the stage also found it a little funny.

Back then, the Emperor asked Jiang Ning to call him Master, which was like digging a hole for himself.

“No way, no way?! Is there smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb in Wangsheng Hall? My grandfather, I really can’t imagine it.”

The most shocking person is Hu Tao. The leader of Liyue works in the Hall of Rebirth?
