During the time when King Roda was recalling his memories, Nashida also helped Liyue clean up the filth in the earth veins to alleviate the pain King Roda suffered due to the pollution of the earth veins.
Of course, Buyer, who was in Xumi, must have discovered that Nashida was using the World Tree in this way, but after understanding the whole story, she naturally had no reason to stop it.
However, she also took this opportunity to capture Nashida in the World Tree Space and "love" her well.
As for this "love", whether it is love in the literal sense or love first and then love, no one knows.
Anyway, seeing that Nashida still looked frightened even after she had already left the World Tree, we can understand what this love is really like...
...
After opening his eyes again, the Ruotu Dragon King, who had just been shouting and calling for war, suddenly became quiet, and his scarlet eyes regained clarity.
Just like a thousand years ago, he just stared silently at Zhongli in front of him, and Zhongli looked back at him.
After seeing this scene, Nashida tactfully did not disturb the reunion of the old friends. Not only did she fly to the other side of the underground space, she also brought Apep, who wanted to speak, over there.
At this time, it is better to let this pair of old friends reminisce about the past, and they should wait for outsiders.
Finally, after a long silence, King Ruota took the initiative to speak, ending the endless staring.
However, this time, his words were no longer as wild as before, but rather gentle and with a hint of guilt.
"Morax...thank you."
The thanks from the Dragon King Rudra put an end to the thousand-year hostility between the two good friends.
"No need to thank me. This is what friends do. Besides, you should thank the God of Grass for helping you recover your memory this time."
After a thousand years, Zhongli talked with the Dragon King Ruota again as a friend, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Then, while comforting King Rudra, he turned the topic to Nashida, who was watching the show on the side.
Following Zhongli's gaze, looking to the side and feeling the remaining breath of the World Tree in his body, King Ruotu naturally understood who was responsible for his recovery.
Then he bowed slightly and expressed his most sincere gratitude to Nashida.
"Foreign gods, thank you for the helping hand you extended to me, which enabled me to find myself again and mend the relationship with my old friend."
"I will never forget this kindness, please accept my greeting."
Not only that, after finishing his verbal expression, King Rādhāra leaped forward and pretended to perform a great ceremony for Nashida.
"Senior Ruota, this is just a piece of cake for me, please don't do this."
Faced with the giant dragon approaching her rapidly and the dust it raised, Nashida waved her hands repeatedly and took three steps back.
Not to mention that she didn't like these red tapes in the first place, just the size difference between her and King Rudra was enough to make her eat a mouthful of sand if King Rudra really bowed to her like this.
Therefore, while she was dissuading him verbally, she did not forget to gather her strength secretly. Fortunately, the moment when the Dragon King Ruota really bowed down, she quickly put on a shield for herself.
But before she could do anything, Apep beside her could no longer bear to watch it, and simply raised his hand and pulled up a large piece of vines to hold back Ruota's huge body.
"Stupid dragon, how can you be so grateful? Look at your size, and then look at us!"
With his hands on his chest, Apep increased his strength and finally pushed King Rudra back.
Although they are both elemental dragons, the facts have proved that King Rhoda is still much younger than her old senior.
"Ruotu, the thought is good enough. There is no need for such a grand gift." Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Zhongli chose to speak.
But compared to before, perhaps because of the joy of the old friend's return, Zhongli's originally calm tone actually had a little ups and downs at this moment.
Obviously, even though he remained calm on the surface, deep down in Zhongli's heart, Ruota's return still caused quite a stir.
Maybe it’s just as he often said, “I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn’t feel like the travels of my youth.”
Perhaps the reunion between old friends today also reminded him of the high-spirited and vigorous god of war who conquered all over the world.
Unfortunately, time has passed and there are only a few friends left who once fought alongside him, and he finally chose to step down as the God of Rock.
"In that case, I won't be polite, haha."
After this little episode, the Dragon King Ruota, who had just been a little excited about recovering his memory, calmed down.
Only then did he realize how inappropriate his behavior was. He could only smile awkwardly, which resulted in another cloud of dust rising in the underground space.
"It doesn't matter, Senior Ruo Tuo, as long as the result is good, that's enough."
Squinting her eyes, Nashida smiled at the giant dragon in front of her, and in a relaxed tone, she completely let the matter go.
In addition, she also held Apep beside her with her hand to prevent Apep from doing anything else.
"What a sensible child." Seeing Nashida being so considerate, her status in the heart of King Ruota rose sharply, and he became more determined to repay her.
As for now? Looking at the fellow beside him who exuded a majestic aura, he decided not to continue talking.
Otherwise, given how protective this Grass Dragon King is of his cubs, he would definitely give him a beating. It would be better to discuss the matter of repayment later.
"That's good, that's good. But Morax, you woke me up today not just to catch up with me, right?"
After chatting with Zhongli for a while and reminiscing about the past, King Ruotu keenly sensed a sense of incongruity.
Based on his understanding of this old friend, Zhongli must be asking him to do something again.
"Who is this villain who dares to act rashly in Liyue? Morax, who do you want me to fight this time?"
According to his understanding, just like a thousand years ago, Liyue must have something that deserves a beating and needs his intervention.
"Senior Ruo Tuo, please don't be anxious. Let me explain it to you."
Seeing that the Dragon King Rudra was about to rush out of the ground with a loud roar, but Zhongli still looked calm and composed, Nashida was speechless.
So no matter where she goes, she is always the type of person responsible for commentary?
“Actually, we came here to…”
Later, Nashida explained their plan to King Rudra using "this way and that" and "this way and that".
After hearing the plan, King Ruotu was as expected stunned and just stood there in a daze.
"So Morax, you don't want to be the Rock God anymore? And you want to let those humans go to war? And you even need me to come out and claim the position of Rock God?"
Due to the excessive amount of information, it took a long time for King Rādhāra to recover and asked a series of questions.
There was no other reason, it was just that Zhongli and Nashida's plan this time was really too explosive.
"Well... Actually, it's not just you. It is expected that there will be other beings who will claim the title of Rock God in the future."
Faced with King Rudra’s confusion, it was still Nashida who came out to help him clear up his confusion.
"In order to intensify the conflict to the greatest extent, multiple claimants of the God of Geo will appear directly in Liyue, thus pushing this transformation to its climax."
How to smash Liyue's old order to the greatest extent possible and build a new order on top of it was a question that Zhongli and Nashida discussed many times.
Eventually they came to the conclusion that peace and order could be achieved through chaos in the world.
The specific plan is that after Zhongli faked his death, Nashida, another relatively authoritative member of the Seven Gods, would "officially certify" the death of Geolord, thereby quickly confirming it in the hearts of the people of Liyue.
Afterwards, according to their pre-arrangement, shortly after the news of the death of the Geo King was officially announced, a corresponding "Geo God Claimant" would appear in Liyue.
They will all claim to be the legitimate successors of the Rock King, and compete for the position of Rock God in Liyue, thereby forcing out all the monsters hiding under the surface at once.
Although in this process, various conflicts will be artificially intensified, which will definitely cause considerable damage to Liyue.
But compared with previous reforms that could never be pushed forward, this can indeed change everything the fastest. After weighing the pros and cons, these costs are acceptable.
However, in order to minimize the losses, Nashida will also participate in the battle for the Rock God, and will participate in it as the legitimate heir.
In order to implement this plan, in addition to the preparations made by Zhongli in advance, Nashida also conveyed a message to Buyer, asking her to deploy troops to the border of Xumi Liyue.
Their purpose of coming to King Rudra this time was to find another strong competitor for this battle.
"Project code name: All Liyue Chicken Eating Contest."
Chapter 171 Breakup!
"Dear colleagues, fellow immortals, I believe you have all heard what the Grass God said just now."
"What do you think about this? Feel free to share your thoughts here."
Sitting in her own seat, facing the seven stars of Liyue and the immortals who were sitting in two rows on the left and right in front of her, Ningguang announced the start of today's meeting as she did in the past.
Since the sudden passing of Emperor Geo, the Seven Stars who controlled Liyue's political situation have formed an "Emergency Committee" together with the Liyue Immortals, and assumed the responsibility of doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times.
Through their joint efforts these days, the originally chaotic situation in Liyue has been initially stabilized, and the relevant investigation work is also progressing in an orderly manner.
But early this morning, the visiting Grass God came to the Qun Yu Pavilion, which was unusual for him, called them all over, and announced a bad news to them.
"So many days have passed since the death of Rock God. It's time to tell you about the situation I have."
Then, Nashida, as one of the Seven Rulers of the World, officially announced the death of the Rock King, and also showed a small portion of the demon remnants she had collected.
From the small piece of dragon scale in her hand, everyone present could sense the aura of the Rock King Emperor. There was no doubt that this piece of dragon scale definitely came from the Emperor.
According to Nashida, the moment the Rock God fell, she realized that there was absolutely no falsehood in this matter.
Although she was also sad about the passing of her predecessor, for the sake of the stability of the situation in Liyue, she did not choose to announce the matter immediately, but kept it secret.
At the same time, in order to protect Liyue Harbor from the impact of the fall of the Demon God, she also blocked the release of the Demon God's remnants as soon as possible, which led to the various abnormal behaviors that occurred later.
The people of Liyue naturally had no reason not to believe Nashida's statement. In their view, as the God of Grass, one of the Seven Gods, Nashida had no motive to joke with them about such things.
As a result, everyone, who had originally held out a glimmer of hope for the Emperor's condition because of the unusual situation, fell into grief.
There were even a few immortals who lost control of their emotions after hearing this, and turned their attention to Nashida, who had come to inform them of the matter.
Of course Nashida could understand this. After all, a play must be performed in full. In order to ensure the performance effect, Zhongli did not tell the truth to the immortals.
Now, except for Grandma Ping, it was naturally within the expectations of Nashida and Zhongli that other immortals would have such reactions.
In other words, this intense reaction of the Liyue immortals was exactly the effect they wanted to achieve at this stage. In order to achieve this effect, she even deliberately exaggerated the narration and repeatedly emphasized the fact that "the Emperor has left."
Therefore, even though she was accused by several fairies, Nashida did not react at all. She just watched everyone's reactions with an expressionless face, appearing to not care at all.
Such an attitude directly angered several True Lords who already had bad tempers, causing them to slam the table on the spot and stand up to leave.
If Ganyu hadn't been trying to dissuade them, this meeting would have ended long ago.
But in the end, several immortals regained their sanity. Even though they were still emotional, they reluctantly expressed their apologies to Nashida.
Nashida also took this opportunity to take the piece of dead skin given to her by Zhongli, and left the Jade Pavilion directly, handing the space to the people of Liyue who were still immersed in grief.
So, after she left for a while, the Seven Stars and the Immortals finally calmed down and reluctantly continued the meeting under Ningguang's call.
But right at the beginning, they were faced with an extremely important but very difficult problem.
Where should we find the new Lord Rock God?
"According to Lord Grass God's description just now, after Lord Emperor's death, the rules of this world should soon elect a new Rock God. We should make plans for this early."
Seeing that no one answered her question, Ningguang could only bite the bullet and continue the question she had just raised.
It can only be said that this problem is indeed tricky. If it is not absolutely necessary, she does not want to bring it up here and rub salt into everyone's scars.
But according to Nashida, this issue has to be raised, because even if they don't discuss it, the new Rock God will still appear as usual.
"In my opinion, while we are preparing for the Emperor's sending-off ceremony, we should also prepare for the coronation ceremony of the new Rock God."
In Ningguang's opinion, since this matter is unavoidable, it is better to make arrangements early and arrange everything as soon as possible instead of being caught off guard.
But the immortals on the side did not think so. They all shook their heads, forming a sharp contrast with the Seven Stars who all agreed.
"Tianquan Star, the emperor's body is still warm, can't you seven stars wait any longer?" After expressing his objections, this time it was True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang who chose to speak.
He was not polite at all and started to criticize Ningguang.
"That Grass God just now was the same. It's only been a few days since the Emperor passed away, but she mentioned the so-called new Rock God. I don't know what her intention is. Do you want to learn from her too?"
After saying this, the other immortals echoed him one after another, agreeing with what Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang said.
You know, they dared to say a few words even to Nashida just now, so they had no psychological burden to accuse Ningguang and other mortals.
"For us, regardless of whether the Emperor is alive or not, there can only be one sun in Liyue!"
Before the Seven Stars could refute this, several hot-tempered immortals continued talking on their own, expressing their extreme dissatisfaction with the Seven Stars.
The reason is actually very simple, because from the beginning to the end, the immortals never trusted the Liyue Seven Stars.
"You humans are full of lies. You say you respect the Emperor, but in reality you have no sense of propriety or shame at all!"
Two years have passed since the immortals were summoned by Zhongli to Liyue to participate in the governance of Liyue.
The two years of getting along together can be said to have made all the immortals feel very angry.
At first, one of the important reasons why they came to Liyue was to help the Emperor implement various reform measures.
