I can copy the beautiful girl

So I went to find Grandma Ping.

then…

"I can't help but think back to when I was playing games and was being stalked like a dog while running quests. Is there any difference between now and then? Is there a difference between virtual games and virtual reality games?"

After completing the task of cleaning Grandma Ping's house, obtaining the Dust-Cleansing Bell and copying Ping'er, I finally got tired of this daily routine of running tasks.

"This is the legendary three-minute enthusiasm." Paimon sighed helplessly and spread his hands: "Traveler, can't you do things with a little consistency? We are doing something very important now, don't always think about giving up halfway? We have already done it, at least finish it!"

"Just calling me that makes me unable to take it seriously. It always feels like I'm playing a game. If that's the case, then it's reasonable for me to log off at any time, right?"

"Do you mind this? Then I'll just call you Sora from now on."

"Can I, can I also address the Honorary Knight by his name?"

"Okay. Anyway, don't call me Traveler anymore. I always feel like a golden-haired fool when I'm called that."

"What golden-haired fool?"

"I'm the kind of idiot who'll help someone if they put an exclamation point over their head. Yeah, that's me."

Even though I said this, I didn't really give up and go back to the real world.

Paimon is right. Since we have done something, we should at least finish it.

At least we should copy Keqing and Ganyu.

Black stockings are my favorite!

You can also pair up with Barbara. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time!

Thinking of this, I suddenly became very sexually aroused again.

"Ah... sneeze!"

Ganyu sneezed unconsciously and looked around blankly: "Who is talking about me?"

"Ganyu," Ningguang said, looking at Ganyu. "That foreign traveler claims to know the Emperor's murderer. We can't let this lead go. He's currently planning the 'Send Immortal Ceremony' with Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth. I hope you can go and invite him."

When Ganyu heard Ningguang's words, her expression dimmed slightly. She was also a little confused about the sudden death of the Geo King.

Although for Ganyu, separation of life and death is no longer a strange thing.

She has been the secretary of Yue Haiting for thousands of years. She has seen off countless friends, so many that it is difficult to count them. She has also seen off many immortals.

But... sending the Rock King away was something she had never thought of before.

The emperor has passed away, so what will happen to the contract between him and me?

Even as she pondered this, Ganyu didn't forget to do her job. "Miss Ningguang, that traveler didn't reveal the truth back at Yujing Terrace, but chose to leave instead. This shows he's unwilling to speak. So, if I invite him now, will he change his mind?"

"When you invited him, just tell him that no matter what the conditions are, he can come and negotiate with me. Since he can make a deal with Qin, there's no reason why he can't make a deal with me."

Having said this, Ningguang closed her eyes tiredly.

"Jin mentioned in her letter that the Fatui were eager to do something during the Mondstadt dragon disaster, but the disaster was resolved before they could do anything. Now, though, I understand Jin's predicament."

"Although we desperately want to track down the Emperor's murderer, we cannot let our guard down regarding the actions of the Fatui. They are definitely trying to take advantage of this opportunity. Unfortunately, we have no idea what their goal is."

Ganyu asked, "Miss Ningguang hid the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Shedding in the Golden House because she suspected the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Shedding was the target of the Fatui?"

"This is just one guess. After all, there are only a few things that could make the Fatui simultaneously eager to obtain them in various countries. In order to welcome the new god, we cannot make any mistakes and cannot let the God's Heart be lost."

"Is it possible that the Emperor was murdered by the Fatui?"

"I have this suspicion, but... do the Fatui have the power to do so?"

As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Ningguang knows a lot of things.

The demon strengthens its existence and power through faith. The more power of faith accumulates, the stronger the demon will be.

To put it simply, as time goes by, the power of the demon will definitely become stronger and stronger.

As the longest-lived god among the Seven Gods, the Rock King is not like Mondstadt's Wind God who gave up his rule over the country.

On the contrary, even before the end of the Demon War, the power of the Rock King was at the pinnacle among the demons.

After the Demon War ended, Liyue was unified and everyone believed in Geo King. Coupled with the massive population growth in peacetime, it is hard to imagine how powerful Geo King is now.

At least Ningguang didn't think that the Fatui could touch the Emperor with their strength.

Even though the Fatui's executive officers had authority comparable to that of gods granted by the Winter Queen, and even though it was rumored that the top three executive officers of the Fatui had power comparable to that of gods, Ningguang still didn't think that this would be enough to deal with the Emperor.

As the diplomatic corps of the strongest country in Teyvat, the Kingdom of Winter, the Fatui are very powerful and extremely powerful in all countries. But even so, the Fatui cannot be strong in Liyue and Inazuma. This is precisely because the gods of these two countries are so powerful that the Fatui cannot afford to offend them.

After all, the fact that the Emperor would be killed was a little too unbelievable.

Is there really anything in this world that possesses this kind of power?

If I have to say something...

Ningguang couldn't help but think of the traveler again.

Unfathomable.

If we have to say who has the power to kill Emperor Rock, it must be him.

Ningguang still hadn't let go of this doubt.

Because she couldn't think of anyone else.

Of course, it is also possible that she is too ignorant to think of more candidates.

Or maybe the murderer used some sinister means that Ningguang was unaware of.

No matter what, Ningguang knew nothing.

That's why I have to ask clearly.

Watching Ganyu leave, Ningguang finally couldn't help but sigh.

With the sudden passing of the Emperor, there are really too many things to do now.

Not only does she have to guard against the Fatui and be wary of unknown enemies, she also has to quickly stabilize Liyue, control the power vacuum caused by the loss of the Emperor, and prepare to welcome the next God of Rock... a new god!

How can such preparation be done well?

Even if the gods pass away, the system of the seven earthly rulers of Teyvat will not collapse, and a new rock god will surely come.

By then, where will Liyue go?

When thinking of this, even Ningguang, who believed herself to be of strong character, could not help but feel a moment of confusion.

Volume 98: Chapter : Zhongli's Teachings

After completing all the tasks and copying Qiqi, the person I least wanted to see in the game but who kept appearing in front of me, Zhongli decided to treat us. He wanted to treat us to another meal as a thank you.

This time, we came to Sanwan Buguogang.

Oh no, it’s three bowls.

I came here with great anticipation, after all, according to the plot, Ganyu will be appearing soon.

I have been coveting her black stockings that cover her upper and lower body for a long time.

I promise that after I copy Ganyu, I will never take off her clothes. She will definitely be more interesting in that outfit.

Hmm? How do I get in with my clothes on?

Uh... don’t you know that black stockings are very elastic?

All in all, I’m full of anticipation now.

"Noelle, the power that the Eye of God can exert is determined by the wishes of its holder."

While eating and listening to storytelling, Zhongli did not forget his responsibility to teach Noelle.

"When a person's wish is powerful enough to shake the heavens, Sky Island will grant them the Eye of God. The possessor of the Eye of God is also known as the Original God. They all possess the potential to ascend to the throne and become gods. Do you know why?"

Noelle shook her head.

After receiving God's grace, she not only possesses an external magic organ called the "Eye of God", but also a skill called "Eye of God".

Through the description of that skill, she did know that the power of the Eye of God came from her own wish, but she didn't know the specific reason.

"This is because the Eye of God can be said to be the prototype of the Godhead, a blank Godhead without any power."

Zhongli explained in a calm and patient tone:

"A demon god, to put it simply, is a being that has attained godhood. Wind spirits, pure water spirits, humans, the World Tree, monsters, even dragons... No matter what kind of being it originally was, once it attains godhood, it will be elevated to a demon god."

"The Godhead inherently possesses power, for power is precisely what distinguishes the Demon God from mortals."

"But the Eye of God does not contain any power. Even as a prototype of Godhead, compared to the true Godhead, the Eye of God has huge flaws."

"A demon god can use his godhood to gather faith, thereby strengthening his own existence and power. Generally speaking, no matter how weak his power may be at first, as long as he has enough believers and accumulates faith for a long enough time, the demon god's power will eventually become extremely powerful."

"On the contrary, no matter how powerful one is, if they don't have believers and can't gather enough power of faith, they will eventually be surpassed by other demon gods."

"Take Liyue's Rock God for example. Before he absorbed and merged the powers of other demon gods, his original power, and his most essential power, was the 'Contract.'"

"This power isn't particularly strong, but in the ancient times when the gods roamed the earth, people revered and trusted them, and preferred to live under their rule—because all the laws he established based on his power guaranteed fair transactions and a safe and orderly life."

"Under such circumstances, the God of Contract strengthens his existence and power through faith, constantly expanding his authority, and only then can he become one of the ultimate victors after the Demon God War breaks out."

“That’s the importance of the Godhead.”

"For the gods, the people's will is the foundation of their power. As long as there is enough accumulated faith, the gods can do anything."

Well, it is true that the God of Justice in Fontaine next door did not use the five hundred years of accumulated faith to strengthen his own existence and power, but instead gathered them all together to create a Big Ivan, which resulted in even the throne being shattered.

"However, although the Eye of God can be said to be the prototype of godhood, it does not possess the ability to gather the faith of others. Therefore, it cannot, like the Demon God, simply establish a stable power and continue to grow stronger."

"As the prototype of godhood, the Eye of God naturally uses the power of faith to strengthen the holder's strength. However... the Eye of God can only gather the holder's own faith."

"The owner himself?" Noelle understood, and then asked incredulously: "Believe in yourself?"

"It's not so much about believing in oneself as it is about believing in all the desires one desires. The Eye of God gathers the willpower of its holder and feeds it back to the holder—using this powerful willpower to continuously strengthen the holder's existence and power, allowing the holder to gradually approach the position of a god."

Zhongli said calmly:

"The holders of the Eye of God possess a willpower strong enough to shake the heavens and attract the attention of the gods. This willpower is incomparable to the faith that ordinary people offer to the gods, so even self-sufficiency is no problem."

Noelle opened her mouth and said, "...I do feel that as time goes by, the elemental power in my body will gradually become stronger. So this is how it works? Master really knows a lot."

There is no way to cultivate elemental power, and the principle of its strengthening has always been a mystery, but no one has paid attention to it. After all, it is common sense that elemental power will continue to grow with the growth of the holder of the Eye of God, just like no one would have any questions about why their body continues to grow taller as they age.

But everything happens for a reason.

The strength of one's willpower is what differentiates the holders of the Eye of God from one another.

"That being said, the will of one person is ultimately no match for the will of millions. Therefore, although the holders of the Eye of God are called Original Gods and are qualified to ascend to Sky Island, only a handful of those have actually succeeded in ascending to the sky, even if we look back throughout history."

Zhongli looked at Noelle and said, "If you want to become stronger, you must first recognize this, and then gradually learn to change from passively accepting the enhancements of the Eye of God to actively utilizing its power."

"Actively use...?"

"Simply put, it's a question of efficiency. If the wish is strong enough, the power of the wish provided by the holder of the Eye of God will usually be much higher than the enhancement the Eye of God gives back to the holder."

"Because the Eye of God operates according to a fixed program, a situation may arise where a large amount of willpower is accumulated within the Eye of God, with nowhere to use it. It can only be used as a backup energy source at certain times... For example, when one is low on strength in battle but has a strong desire for victory, one may unconsciously activate this willpower and use it as a one-time consumable."

To put it simply, it can be used to explode, right?

Oh, by the way, couldn’t this be the principle behind Emperor Ye Tian blocking General Lei Dian’s attack?

The strong desire to face the power of thunder made the two eyes of God resonate, activating the willpower accumulated in the two eyes of God. Just like the Big Ivan that Fucaros rubbed, all the willpower was directly consumed to enhance the power of just one sword. Coupled with the spread of wind and thunder and the desire in Ye Tiandi's heart that was sublimated to the extreme at that moment, a miracle happened.

It actually makes sense!

"But using willpower as a consumable is a waste, unless... in short, you need to learn to actively use the willpower accumulated in the Eye of God. That way, you can become stronger more efficiently."

Noelle nodded in confusion. Although he didn't know how to actively use something as intangible as willpower, since Master said so, he would definitely teach him.

She now had great respect for the man who had suddenly become her master.

Not only does his aura make people feel intimidated, but he is also knowledgeable and knows everything... Oh, he doesn't know what a coconut sheep is - but that's not important, there is no way anyone in the world knows what a coconut sheep is.

In short, Noelle has realized that the master that the Knight of Honor has found for him is definitely a very, very, very powerful figure!

As expected of an Honorary Knight, it's hard to believe that such a great figure can be found anywhere.

"besides…"

Zhongli was about to continue saying something when Noelle was suddenly stunned.

"Sorry, Master, I have to leave for a moment."
