The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Lamia is lonely because she cannot get what she wants and she suffers when she tries. She has no freedom as she is ruled by fate. Naturally, she will feel lonely because the burning wish in her heart cannot be realized.

Now, Lamia has gained true freedom.

"[Lamia's Wish] Mission completed, reward received..."

A system squeak sounded next to Lin Ye's ear.

At the same time, at Liyue Harbor.

Paimon stared at the sea level with eyes wide open for a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Osel crawling up from the bottom of the sea.

“Thank you for your help, Immortal, otherwise it would be difficult for Liyue Harbor to resolve this crisis.” Ningguang said.

"Hmph, don't forget the purpose of our visit." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng snorted coldly.

The Yunjin was gone, and Liuyun was in a bad mood.

"Liu Yun, there's no need to be so confrontational."

Grandma Ping stepped forward to plead for mercy.

Ever since Gui Zhong's death, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun's heart of Taoism was blocked, and he lived in Liyue Harbor in self-abandonment. Later, after experiencing some things and learning some truths from mortals, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun began to let go.

The war between demons is a fight among demons for territory, not for population. The contract between the immortals and the rock gods is to protect this land.

Over time, the immortals' eyes fell on the land of Liyue, but that was all. The people of Liyue were just a race that lived and multiplied there.

Next, as Ningguang said, the immortals looked at Liyue but never at the people of Liyue.

In the minds of the immortals, Liyue is still Liyue, but as long-lived people, they cannot understand that humans will undergo several major transformations in a short period of time. Human society can undergo earth-shaking changes after a hundred years, and in the future, the time of this change will only be shorter, reaching the point of rapid change.

Regarding this, Lishui and Xieyue snorted coldly, but to their surprise, Liuyun did not refute.

This is because of Mu Xiaojin.

Although Liu Yun did not want to have anything to do with Liyue Harbor, he learned a lot about the lives of mortals through his conversation with Mu Xiaojin.

Finally, due to a conflict and a common enemy, Ningguang sacrificed her Qun Yu Pavilion, as well as the persuasion of Zhenjun Ge Chen Lang Shi and the traitorous behavior of Zhenjun Liu Yun Jie Feng, which made the immortals choose to give the people of Liyue a chance. They will also re-examine Liyue Port and re-observe the people of Liyue.

Of course, Ningguang also mentioned the Emperor, saying that she had dreamed of the Emperor in the morning and told the immortals what she wanted to tell the Emperor.

The positions of the Liyue people and the immortals are the same, they all love this land deeply.

Ying mentioned what happened in Mond.

If a conflict arises between the guardian and the protected, things will be difficult to recover.

This caused the immortals to think.

After the immortal left, Grandma Ping went back to Yujingtai after her peacemaking work. Liuyun went to Tianheng Mountain to find Mu Xiaojin, while Ningguang Keqing and the others were busy dealing with the aftermath.

Ying and Paimon were left blinking at each other.

"By the way, where is Lin Ye? He wasn't thrown into the sea by Osel, was he?" Paimon asked.

"With his strength, there won't be any problem." Ying said.

"Young Master's goal is to force out the Rock God, but the Rock God has not appeared since then." Paimon asked curiously, "Could the Rock God really be dead?"

“I can only say that it is not yet time for Him to take action.” Ying said, “… Let’s go find Zhongli.”

“What do you want to do with him?”

"Continue the unfinished business." Ying smiled.

"That's true. But after the attack by the demon god, I don't know if the ceremony of sending the immortals can be completed."

Ying didn't answer.

The two asked for directions and arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

"What do you want to see the guest officials for?" Hu Tao asked.

Ying and Kurumi looked at each other.

"You are the traveler Ying, right?"

"Hey, how did you know?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Hehe, because this hall master has a keen eye for heroes." Hu Tao said proudly.

Actually, it’s because of Paimon.

There are many travelers in Teyvat, but the one who follows an elf is unique.

"Yes, my name is Ying. You are Hu Tao, right? I often hear Lin Ye mention you." Ying said, knowing Hu Tao's self-proclaimed name.

"Oh? What do your best friends think of me?"

"Well..."

"Oh, don't say any more. This guy will never say anything good about me."

"Wow, what a big change in address and attitude." Paimon was surprised.

"Ahem, the guest official you are looking for has gone to the Northland Bank."

"Where to go and what to do?"

This hall master shrugged and muttered, "Zhongli won't go to the bank to take out a loan, right?"

"what are you saying?"

"Haha, nothing. Well, I have to go back to teach my employees. Alas, when disaster strikes, everyone has to run for their own lives." Hu Tao sighed, turned and left.

"A strange man," Paimon commented.

Ying glanced at Paimon.

The two went to the Northland Bank and were able to enter with unexpected ease and meet Zhongli.

Ying originally thought that she had fallen out with the Young Master and would be attacked when she went to the North Country Bank.

The Northland Bank will say that it is the Fatui executives' fault, so why should the bank bear the blame?

In addition to Zhongli, there are also young masters and ladies.

Two Fatui executive officers.

Ying was slightly stunned.

Good man, new grudge and old hatred, avenged all at once, right?

"Don't be impulsive, Ying. You've just been through a fierce battle and it's not easy to deal with the two executives." Paimeng reminded in a low voice.

Ying nodded and looked at Zhongli.

Zhongli had previously worked with the Fatui.

So does Zhongli know now that Osel was released by Childe?

"Ahaha, we meet again." Tartaglia scratched his head.

Ying simply ignored it.

"It's true that it's a bit awkward to meet you now, but didn't we have a pleasant cooperation before? At least I didn't hesitate at all when I took out my wallet," said Tartaglia.

"Stop talking, sir. It's really embarrassing to be defeated by a traveler," said the lady.

"I didn't lose to the traveler. It was Lin Ye who defeated me."

When Lin Ye was mentioned, the lady became unhappy. She glanced at Ying and Paimon arrogantly, thinking that it was a good thing that guy didn't come here, otherwise she would be angry when she saw him.

Never mind, work is more important.

“…As agreed, I am here to take your Heart of God, Morax.” The lady said shockingly.

"!!" Paimon's eyes widened.

"The contract has been concluded. As you requested, I will grant you what I promised you." Zhongli handed over the Heart of God decisively.

He had carried this thing with him for more than two thousand years, and he had no reluctance at all when he handed it over.

The first generation of seven gods did not think highly of the Heart of God, perhaps because their ability in making grand plans was not good enough.

The Demon War will produce seven winners, who will receive seven seats and will be eligible to exist after the end.

However, Zhongli did not have much trust in this statement.

The lady took the Heart of God.

“What a condescending tone…” the lady said.

But the lady was not too angry. The Rock God deserved this arrogance, just like the Queen of Winter. He was not like a certain Wind God who was too down-to-earth, so some people did not take him seriously...

"So Zhongli is Morax!" Paimon reacted and exclaimed.

Ying was also surprised, but it was within her expectations. She originally suspected that Zhongli was an immortal, and then she thought of Mond's experience.

Wendy approaches himself as a bard, but in fact he is a demon.

With the lessons learned from the past, Ying is very receptive.

What Ying couldn't understand was why the Heart of God should be given to the Fatui, and what the agreement the lady mentioned meant.

Paimon happened to ask the question that Ying was wondering.

"Why would you give the Heart of God to the Fatui? They released the demon god Osel to destroy Liyue Harbor?"

Zhongli corrected the mistake in Paimon's words and spoke calmly.

"It's not a gift, but a transaction based on a contract - about the Queen of Winter."

"Then why did you fake your death? Is it related to the deal?"

"Yes and no. Faking death is a means."

"That's too much. A dead dragon fell down with a loud thud, and Ying and I were wrongly accused by Ningguang and the others. It almost caused a disaster."

The lady sneered.

"Isn't this what He wants to see? Gather the undercurrents surging beneath the water surface, apply pressure to the limit, and then explode..."

Upon hearing this, Ying showed a thoughtful expression.

"Let me explain it." Zhongli said.

He explained to Ying and Paimon, talking about that rainy day, and heard the merchant say that you have completed your duties well and you can go to rest.

"This sentence made me think, have I fulfilled my responsibilities?"

"The people of Liyue think I am omniscient and omnipotent. In fact, this is based on my experience. However, I have expectations and concerns about whether the people of Liyue will usher in an era of human rule. Fortunately, I met Lin Ye at the corner."

"Wait? Lin Ye!" Paimon felt that she had been staring with her eyes wide open all day.

"Why does he appear in your story?"

"Because he answered my questions. He said that if that was the case, why not come up with a test for Liyue." Zhongli said, "I agreed."

“When Liyue loses its gods and faces a crisis, can they survive?”

"Isn't this too risky?" Paimon asked.

"For this Rock God, there is no need to take any risks. The worst-case scenario is that Osel completely lifts the seal. At worst, he can just suppress it again," said the lady.

"Is this the willfulness of the strong?" Paimon looked at Ying and encouraged her, "Come on, Ying."

fluorescent:……

“That being said, I don’t expect it to come to that.” Zhongli said.

"You and Lin Ye really kept everyone in the dark." Ying said.

The young master approved very much.

In hindsight, the more Ying recalled her conversation with Lin Ye, the more she discovered his tricks.

How abominable.

Zhongli apologized frankly.

Ying didn't have much to say, she could understand.

Afterwards, the lady and the young man left and returned to the Kingdom of Winter.

A few days later, the ceremony of welcoming and sending off the immortals was held.

The Seven Stars of Liyue announced the truth about the Emperor's death - he failed to survive the tribulation.
