Collapse, surrender to me!

But the problem is that Grace gave her a very strange feeling.

If I have to say, it's that I'm very young.

It seems as if it was just born.

It's nothing for a sword to become a demon, but if a new demon suddenly appears in Liyue, it will be a big problem.

Since the Demon War, the Seven Kingdoms have been established.

No new demons appeared.

Grayshu was the first demon god he had seen after the Seven Kingdoms era.

“I am indeed a freshman…”

Grayshu felt that what Zhongli said was correct and explained.

“The first person I met was Keqing, so I followed her to Liyue. If I had met the Envoy of Winter, I might have gone to Winter.”

"Is this so..."

Zhongli seemed to be thinking about what to do.

After thinking for a long time, the God of Contract took out a contract.

"Let's make a deal, what do you want?"

"I want you."

Grayshu said this instinctively, then felt that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, so she explained it again.

“I want the color in you.”

She was still very interested in the colors of the Seven Gods.

Gresh gave a brief explanation of what color was.

Zhongli thought for a moment and nodded.

The original feeling of being kept at a distance disappeared.

Let go of your mind.

In an instant, more than 6,000 years of history flowed out.

The history of Grayshu feeling the invasion of Beloberg's star core was only 700 years ago.

From the initial entry, to the confrontation with the demon god, to his death, to the establishment of Liyue...

Gradually.

Zhongli looked at the sword as if he was looking at another self.

"Is this your ability...?"

Prince Yan was somewhat shocked.

He could fully understand how perverted this dyeing ability was.

But in just a moment, it seemed as if another Zhongli appeared in this world.

But if you feel it carefully, you will find obvious differences.

Because of Gracie, it won't wear out.

The laws of this world cannot wear down her soul.

Or rather, dare not.

……

After Greysmith and Zhongli signed the contract, they left.

The content of the contract is simple.

It was just to prevent Grayshure from going on a killing spree in Liyue.

Although Grayshu said that she was not that kind of person, she said that after all, she came to each world to see different colors, and starting a war without reason was a waste of time.

Zhongli also felt that the girl was not that kind of person.

But it is impossible for him to be completely at ease when a demon god is wandering around Liyue without any constraints.

the other side.

The assassination of the emperor has caused a lot of controversy.

The seven stars of Liyue gathered together for a rare occasion.

"That is indeed the immortal body of the Emperor..." Tianshu Xing said solemnly: "Everyone has presided over the ceremony of inviting the immortal... Everyone can tell whether the Emperor is real or not."

"The opponent who can cut off the emperor's immortal body must be at least at the level of a demon god."

"A demon god has invaded Liyue, and the emperor has died. What should we do? Should we go to Jueyunjian to seek help from the immortals?!"

"It's impossible for the Emperor to die so easily!"

Keqing has now calmed down and said solemnly.

"Even if the other seven gods joined forces, it would be impossible for the emperor to fall so quickly. He didn't even have a chance to react."

How huge is the war between demons.

As a result, the emperor was killed instantly without any reaction. It was really unacceptable.

"We know what you said, but it's useless."

Ningguang shook her head.

"After the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, I have already contacted the Unknown Emperor... Or rather, he does not want to meet us as the Rock King Emperor anymore, because the 'Emperor' is dead."

"But the Emperor didn't react, which proves that the demon god who could cut open the immortal body is no longer a threat. We should now think about what to do about Liyue's future."

……

Keqing returned home.

I still feel very confused.

It was not until he saw Grayshu sitting quietly at the table that he felt relieved.

“Senior, you said that I have always wanted to restore human rule to Liyue… But now the Emperor has suddenly passed away, giving me this opportunity, but I don’t know what to do…”

"...It's no use asking me. I'm just a sword." Grayshu said helplessly.

"makes sense."

Keqing regained her composure.

After all, the emperor is usually not around except for giving an oracle once a year.

"Perhaps rather than comforting the ordinary people of Liyue, we should first think about how to face the questioning of the immortals."

Keqing has a headache.

This was clearly not her plan.

……

Keqing devoted herself wholeheartedly to the work after the death of the Emperor.

Grace saw that Aqing didn't have time to take her out.

So he flew out by himself.

She found that Liyue had changed a lot.

The difference is that before, people in the streets were discussing the ceremony of inviting the immortals, but now it has become the ceremony of sending the immortals away...it's very subtle.

She had an idea in her mind and appeared in the Hall of Rebirth.

"What's your trick?" Zhongli raised his eyebrows as he looked at the long sword that suddenly appeared.

"Flying Thunder God."

Grayshu said three words that Zhongli couldn't understand.

But Zhongli could still understand the principle.

Use your mental power to carve a mark at the place you want to go, and then you can move there.

However, the mental power of ordinary people will basically dissipate after being emitted a few meters away.

Just like many people often feel that someone seems to be peeping at them not far behind them.

But if someone looks at you through a telescope from a distance of one or two kilometers, unless you are born with a strong sixth sense, you will not have any reaction.

"Your ability is really..."

For a moment, Zhongli felt like he didn't know where to start.

Probably one kind.

Although Grayshure looks like a sword no matter how you look at it, it feels strange that his abilities have nothing to do with swords.

However, Zhongli didn't know what abilities the Sword Demon had.

After all, it is not as intuitive as the Fengyan mine.

"What brings you here?"

"It's okay...Keqing is so busy because of you that she's slapping her feet on the back of her head, so I came out for a walk by myself."

To others, Grayshu's current state was like a sword dancing and talking in the air.

Madara should like the way she dances now.

"By the way, are you holding your own funeral now?"

“That’s not wrong.” Zhongli nodded. “The sooner the funeral is held, the better. This will help the people of Liyue accept the fact that their god is gone, and allow Liyue to smoothly transition from divine rule to human rule.”

"I have begun to wear out. In order to prevent myself from wearing out and causing harm to Liyue, I must abdicate as soon as possible."

“What exactly is wear and tear?”

Although Grayshu saw the harm caused by wear and tear in Zhongli's experience.

For example, King Rāshtra.

But the effect is just like Alzheimer's, or losing one's original intention.

This is not a problem in Grace's opinion, people always change.

Whether it is due to the wear and tear of the natural world or due to changes in one's own heart, no one can tell.

Just like many people sometimes seem like a different person, you can say that his mind is not strong, but you can also say that he becomes so unstable because of a mental illness.

It would be difficult for Grace to understand the wear and tear without experiencing it herself.

Unfortunately, the law of nature does not dare to torture her.

Even if she dyed Zhongli's color and almost believed that she was the Prince of Rock, it was as if the justice of heaven did not see it.

“You might be special.”

Zhongli didn't know the reason, but he couldn't help but sigh.

If Grace wouldn't be worn out...

"Would you like to try to become Liyue's Rock God?"

"what?"

Gray was stunned for a moment.

"I'm the God of Geo. Aren't you afraid that I'll issue an oracle every year and lead Liyue into a ditch?"

The girl felt that she was totally capable of doing such a thing.

Mainly because she has seen too much.

No matter how well-intentioned the orders from above are, once they are actually implemented and reach the local level, they will be distorted and used for personal purposes in a matter of minutes.

Even the Seven Stars cannot completely eliminate this phenomenon.

She might end up doing something bad with good intentions.

"No, now that Liyue has returned to human rule, there is no need for an oracle. The role of the Rock God is to protect Liyue's safety."
