Chapter 76: Hall of Rebirth

"The inheritance of Yan..."

Grandma Ping didn't mean to play dumb. Her kind face was smiling as she said directly, "It means to gain the power of the rock element."

Keqing groaned: "But... can I really obtain the rock element when I already have the Eye of God?"

"Of course you can. Otherwise, how could you have two elemental powers now?" Grandma Ping said with a smile.

Hearing this, Keqing's expression became nervous for a moment.

Ningguang said that Grandma Ping was the most mysterious immortal among the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals. She really felt it at this moment. Although she clearly did not feel any elemental fluctuations, Grandma Ping actually revealed her secret with just one word.

However, Keqing's nervousness only lasted for a short while, because she then remembered what Grandma Ping had said before, that she was here to help her. If she wanted to expose herself, the Emperor should have come by now.

"How did you know?" Keqing was puzzled. She hadn't revealed herself to anyone, not even to Qin and Ningguang, but Granny Ping had seen through her at a glance.

Grandma Ping is truly unfathomable.

"Haha, although I'm old, fortunately my eyes are still clear. In addition to watering the flowers, I can also see what's in your eyes." Grandma Ping said.

"In my eyes?"

"There is a breeze."

Grandma Ping looked at the lawn beside the pavilion, where a shy glass lily was swaying in the breeze.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to hear the sound of the flower now, right?"

Keqing tilted her head to look at the flower with its petals curled up, and when she listened carefully, she heard a slight rustling sound, like the mumbling of an elf in its sleep.

"This is inheritance, but it is the 'inheritance of wind'." Grandma Ping said with a smile.

"The inheritance of the wind..."

"Yes, the wind in your eyes that can communicate with all things is not a simple element." Grandma Ping hunched over, then reached out and picked up the shower head, sprinkling a pool of clear water on the stone table.

Then a breeze brought a bunch of dandelion seeds from somewhere and dropped them onto the water.

"The wind brings life, and water breeds it, but if one thing is missing, as it is now, life still cannot sprout."

Looking at the things on the table, Keqing was silent for a moment and then said, "Are you talking about soil?"

Nodding her head in approval, Grandma Ping said with satisfaction: "That's right, Yan is the cradle of all this."

"They are essentially inherited from the same thing, so as the inheritor of the wind, you are naturally qualified to obtain the rest of the inheritance."

Granny Ping looked at Keqing and said, "However, this also means greater responsibilities and obligations."

Keqing shook her head: "I am not afraid of responsibilities and obligations."

Hearing this, Grandma Ping laughed twice: "It's true that I, an old woman, think too much. If you were afraid of these things, you wouldn't do such a thing."

"If this 'inheritance' can gain rock elemental power, then what does this have to do with what I'm doing now?" Keqing asked doubtfully. She looked at Granny Ping: "Could it be that those immortals will try to stop me? Do I need to be strong enough?"

"Yes, and also wrong."

Grandma Ping stretched out her hand and wiped the water stains on the table gently, and the dandelion seeds floated away into the distance again with the wind.

Looking at the dandelions going away, Grandma Ping sighed, "It's not that era anymore. The immortals have long been tired of war. The so-called retaining clouds and cutting the moon, subduing demons and grabbing stars are just a thing of the past. At this moment, Liyue no longer needs these glories to intimidate those villains who have long since turned to dust."

“But no matter what era it is, Liyue, this child, still needs soil to survive. Even if she has grown up and is ready to leave the cradle, she still needs to step on solid ground to move forward.”

"And once upon a time, it was the Geo Emperor who carried Liyue forward."

Grandma Ping stopped talking here, then shook her head and picked up the shower head: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. I have to go out and talk to those guys. If you have any questions, you can go to the Hall of Rebirth to find the answers."

“Alas, I have clearly decided to take a rest, but I still can’t bear to leave these beautiful flowers in Liyue. Humans, gods, and immortals are really all the same creatures…”

Grandma Ping gradually walked away, and Keqing was left alone in the pavilion, still shocked by Grandma Ping's last words.

If she understood correctly.

Grandma Ping meant that as long as she could obtain power that rivaled that of the Emperor, naturally both the immortals and the people of Liyue would be able to feel at ease.

But for Keqing, does this mean that everything she does is meaningless?

Liyue still has the Geo Emperor, but this emperor just has a new name.

……

……

After walking down from Yujing Terrace, Keqing kept thinking about what Grandma Ping said.

The main quest in my mind has been completed and a new one has been updated.

In other words, Ningguang's "plan to deceive the immortal" was completed so simply and quickly.

The immortals will not interfere with their plans anymore, and now they just have to wait for the ceremony of inviting the immortals to begin.

However, Keqing felt that she was not prepared.

She stood where she was, looking up at the Jade Pavilion in the sky.

"Should we ask her..."

After saying this, Keqing shook her head, which meant she definitely agreed with the suggestion.

Ningguang likes Mora so much. If I become the God of Geo, I will probably be skinned alive by her.

"What's going on? You've clearly made up your mind, but now you're still hesitating."

Keqing also feels self-doubt about her current state, and even feels a little disgusted.

After all, she was still not ready.

She is good at being the one who rises up in rebellion, but she is not so good at being the king who rules a region.

This is also why Keqing didn't tell Jean that she was the original Knight of the North Wind.

Even for the Seven Stars, most of the management work is done by Ningguang, and Keqing is only responsible for land construction.

It is impossible for a person who practices sword to have a deep understanding of the power and tactics of the emperor.

"Just now, Grandma Ping seemed to say that if we have any other questions, we can go to the Hall of Rebirth..." Keqing said softly, but a pair of black cloth shoes appeared in her sight.

"Excuse me, Master Yuheng, are you here to check the accounts in our Wangsheng Hall?"

I looked up and saw a short-haired woman dressed in black. It was the funeral director of the Wangsheng Hall.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

Although Grandma Ping asked her to come to the Hall of the Rebirth if she had anything to do, the Hall of the Rebirth had little to do with this plan other than being a place for others to be reborn.

Grandma Ping probably meant for her to be careful not to hurt too many innocent people in her plan.

Keqing stood there thinking for a moment, then shook her head: "I'm just passing by, not here to check, sorry."

The girl from the funeral parlor bowed and said, "You are too polite, sir."

Keqing returned the greeting and then turned around to leave.

But at this moment, the door of the Hall of Rebirth opened, and a calm and mature voice came from inside.

"It's Keqing. I just wanted to find you to return the money. Since you're here, why don't you come in and have a seat?"

Seeing Keqing standing still, the beautiful woman with golden eyes also smiled: "Why, are you worried that the Rock King Emperor is in the Hall of Rebirth?"

Chapter 77: An Old Friend Whose Name I Forgot

Following Zhong Li, Keqing entered the Hall of the Dead.

After entering the hall, she looked up and around from time to time. Apart from some candles and plaques, the most common smell in the Hall of Rebirth was the ubiquitous scent of sandalwood.

Apart from being a bit deserted and having too much black, this Hall of Rebirth actually seems to be no different from ordinary temples.

"Is this your first time in the Hall of Rebirth?" Zhong Li asked when he saw Keqing looking around.

"Ah, yes."

As one of the Seven Stars, Keqing has set foot on almost every piece of Liyue land, but the only place she has never been to is the Hall of the Dead.

Even if they come, they will only stay in front of the door for a moment.

Not only is the Hall of the Dead special, but moving around too much is considered an offense according to etiquette.

And because Keqing is also a human being, she would of course not come to such a place if possible.

But this time it was an exception, because it was Zhong Li who invited her in.

Following Zhong Li, Keqing walked up the stairs to the third floor of the Hall of Rebirth.

After opening a wooden door, they came to an open-air balcony.

The refreshing air and familiar sound of the wind made Keqing relax involuntarily.

"call……"

She almost thought that Zhong Li was going to take her to talk in front of a coffin.

Sitting down on the floor in front of a small square table, Zhong Li took out a bag of Mora from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is the money you borrowed from me for tea last time. I put it in here according to the basic interest rate of Liyue Bank. Do you want to check the amount?"

Keqing shook her head. This was of course unnecessary, but she still accepted the bag of Mora, otherwise Zhong Li might be unhappy.

After collecting Mora, Keqing did not leave. She entered the Hall of Rebirth, of course not to collect the debt from Zhong Li.

However, there were some questions she didn't know how to ask, and she was not sure whether Zhong Li could really help her solve them.

Zhong Li, who was sitting across the table, didn't seem to be in a hurry either. She just sat there quietly, looking at Keqing.

It was not until Keqing moved slightly and showed signs of getting up that Zhong Li slowly spoke.

"I remember you asked me something last time, didn't you?"

Keqing, who was about to leave, sat back down. "Last time?"

After recalling some things, Keqing remembered.

"Are you talking about the second Eye of God?"

"That's right." Zhong Li nodded. "I was going to tell you before, but Xiangling's appearance and some of my own things disrupted it."

"This one……"

Keqing was about to say that it was not necessary because Grandma Ping had already told her, but was interrupted by Zhong Li.

"I think it's possible."

"Although others can't do it, you can." Zhong Li said.

Keqing seemed to have heard this before.

Isn’t that exactly what the Mondstadt Wind God said? It’s almost exactly the same.

“Although I don’t know the specific method, I have met a person who also has two elemental powers, and she doesn’t have the Eye of God. Maybe you can get inspiration from her.” Zhong Li continued.

"There are people like this?" Keqing was also surprised.

"Yes." Zhong Li nodded, "That person seems to be called 'Ying', with blonde hair and golden eyes, and a companion flying in the air. They should be with Xiangling."

"fluorescent……"

Isn't this the Traveler, who has two elemental powers without the Eye of God? This is indeed unusual.

Grandma Ping's words were very general, but Zhong Li directly pointed out the direction for Keqing.

This made Keqing glad that she did not leave too early.
