Emerald green chains spread out, and due to the Rock Dragon King's EX divinity, the divine chains suddenly burst into a dazzling light, binding him tightly in place.

Classic divine debuff!

Two purple sword energies that pierced the sky and the earth burst out with a loud bang, as if the lightning that controls the birth and death of the world was surging and jumping, almost completely engulfing the underground space.

The sword energy broke through the outer shell and caused substantial damage to Brother Tuozi for the first time, but it was quickly dissipated by his divine power.

He did not roar, but calmed down under this blow: "Aren't you burning the sky and boiling the sea?"

There was no more anger in Tuozige's eyes, instead there was a hint of gentleness.

But as he finished speaking, there was a hint of struggle in his eyes, as if he was fighting against his own evil thoughts.

At this moment, Zhongli came down with Ganyu.

"Old friend, we meet again."

"Morax, you!" Brother Tuozi roared, but suddenly calmed down, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

"No, I am the one who should apologize. After all, it is because the people of Liyue destroyed the leylines on which you depend for survival, which has exacerbated your wear and tear."

"You don't have to blame yourself. You and I both know that if Liyue wants to develop, it can't avoid mining. I do hate humans, but my memories are not just about hatred. I also remember my protection and expectations for Liyue."

Zhongli's face was sullen, which was rare for him. He sighed and said, "No matter what, I am sorry for you, but I am the god of Liyue, so I can only take action against you."

This was the most painful decision Zhongli had ever made. The Dragon King Rota was clearly protecting Liyue, but he had to endure the pain brought by the people of Liyue's unrestrained mining of minerals. In order to protect the people of Liyue, he could only become hostile to him.

There is no possibility of any adjustment unless Liyue gives up development. This is a contradiction between man and nature.

But King Ruotu was more open-minded. He said in a deep voice, "You are the God of Contract, and you have a contract to protect Liyue. You did nothing wrong. In comparison, it is the younger generations who surprise me."

He looked at Xie Yan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my good thoughts lag far behind my evil thoughts. I originally planned to separate my good thoughts and possess humans to remind Morax, but I didn't expect you to arrive early."

"No, Dragon King, we are the ones who should apologize."

"It's meaningless to worry about who is right or wrong. This is my voluntary choice. But you... you are the descendant of Burning Sky and Boiling Sea, right? And Ganyu, your strength has also grown a lot. You should be able to manifest the true form of Qilin?"

Ganyu nodded: "Yes, I also want to share Liyue's worries. I have been practicing hard these years. Senior Ruotu, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Yeah, it's been a while. I'm happy to see Liyue's growth, but it's a pity that the time is almost up... Morax, let's do it."

"..."

Zhongli looked somewhat struggling, and after a long silence he finally raised his hand.

The rock pillars that had been affected in the previous battle were repaired in an instant, falling from the sky with a loud bang, forming a seal again. The ground where King Rhodo was located suddenly cracked, and his huge body fell down into the darkness underground.

Xie Yan slowly injected the power of dreams, trying to make the Dragon King Ruota fall into a deep sleep, but before he could finish, a roar came from the darkness underground again.

"Morax - you betrayed me again!"

Evil thoughts prevailed again, and perhaps because of his action, Brother Tuozi was reminded of his past when he was sealed. Amidst the roar, Brother Tuozi's mouth suddenly swelled up violently, and then before the seal was stabilized, he spewed a dragon egg covered with mucus into the sky!

"My descendants will definitely avenge me!"

The dragon egg contained all of his divine power. It penetrated the surface rocks like water and turned into a meteor flying into the distance.

Zhongli and Xie Yan's faces changed, and they took Ganyu across space to chase after him.

With Zhongli's interception, the flying speed of the dragon egg suddenly stopped and slowly landed on the ground. The next second, the dragon egg cracked, revealing the figure of a sleeping blue-haired girl, who was Ajiu from before.

Zhongli came to Ajiu as fast as an inch and gently picked her up, his eyes full of tenderness.

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from not far away.

Keqing crossed her arms and looked at Zhongli with a strange look: "Zhongli, you said you don't know martial arts! Just now I saw this egg flying over, and you caught up with it in just a few steps."

"...Lady Keqing, I was born with supernatural powers." Zhongli explained calmly and gave Xie Yan a wink.

Xie Yan stepped forward quickly: "Ahem, I can prove that Mr. Zhongli is just born with supernatural powers and runs faster."

Keqing didn't believe it at all. She had already made up her mind to reveal the news of the selection of the second generation Geo God to Zhongli. She still didn't believe it. How could a hermit resist such temptation?

But before she could open her mouth, several white air wave tracks suddenly streaked across the sky, and the immortals who had appeared in Liyue Harbor came again.

They had previously sensed the aura of the Dragon King Ruota and thought there was a problem with the seal so they rushed to support, but when they arrived nearby, their eyes were all fixed on Zhongli.

Zhongli used his power to stop the dragon egg, and that aura was too conspicuous in the eyes of the immortals.

Keqing was startled and quickly saluted, "Welcome, all the True Lords!"

Seeing Zhongli motionless, Keqing, who had chosen him as the candidate for Rock God, became anxious. She quickly winked at him and whispered, "Zhongli, why don't you say hello to all the True Lords?"

76 Mother-in-law meets son-in-law, Aqing is urged to get married

urgent!

Ah Qing saw it all and was very anxious. As early as when she saw Zhongli could walk on flat ground during an earthquake, she guessed that he had hidden martial arts skills. Just now, she saw him move as fast as shrinking the earth, which was even more proof. It was a pity that Zhongli insisted on saying that he was born with supernatural powers. To put it bluntly, he wanted to reject her recruitment. Otherwise, he could have said that he had a talent for elemental combat skills.

But in Keqing's view, these are not a big deal. Zhongli refused only because he did not hear her conditions. But if she leaves a bad impression on the immortal now, the position of Geo God will be ruined!

Seeing Zhongli's strange expression, Keqing quickly looked at the immortals. This time even the Demon-Subduing Great Sage had arrived. He seemed to be unable to speak for some reason.

The other immortals also had different expressions, some were surprised, some were happy, but the common point among them all was that they were staring at Zhongli.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng could not suppress his surprise and almost blurted out, "Emperor, why are you not dead?"

Fortunately, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang knew Liuyun's level of conversation and sent a message to stop her before she opened her mouth.

He is Zhongli's disciple and the one who has followed him the longest among all the immortals. It can be seen that Zhongli wants to hide his identity.

Before Keqing could urge Zhongli again, Master Xueyue Zhuyang stopped her and said, "Yuhengxing, there is no need to be so polite. Protecting Liyue is our common contract."

“Well, but the immortals have made outstanding contributions to Liyue, and now they are Liyue’s protectors. They should still be shown due respect,” Keqing said in a firm tone.

Zhongli was very pleased with her mature transformation. Although the immortals joined forces because of the crisis, it was still the first step. But Keqing always stared at him and hinted at him when she spoke. Zhongli couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Could it be that she really wanted to say, "Zhongli meets all the immortals?"

"We immortals don't care about those empty formalities. Being sincere in our hearts is enough. We can all feel the kindness of this young friend Zhongli..." Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan hurried out to save the situation, but after he said this, he felt guilty in his heart.

But calling the Emperor "little friend" is better than being called an immortal by the Emperor. Didn't you see that Xiao dug out new rooms for himself in Wangshu Inn with his toes?

Zhenjun Liuyun tilted her bird head slightly and was about to say something, but she saw her disciple Ganyu shaking her head at her.

Shut up Snow Leopard!

No, as a teacher, don’t you know how to chat?

Zhenjun Liuyun glared back in anger. After her initial surprise, she could of course see the situation at this moment. The Emperor wanted to live in Liyue as Zhongli's human identity.

Although she didn't quite understand why the Emperor made the decision so suddenly, she knew that there must be something behind it, so she immediately changed the subject: "We came here to investigate because we sensed a change in the Fulong Tree's aura. May I ask, little friend Zhongli, who is the girl in your hand?"

"This can be regarded as the continuation of Ruotu's life, or reincarnation."

"Reincarnation! But the Ruota Dragon King is the Rock Dragon King. If the Dragon King is reincarnated, doesn't that mean... Ruota is dead?"

True Lord Liuyun had a look of horror on his face. These old antiques who survived the war between demons and gods knew about Ruota's whereabouts and the reincarnation mechanism of the Seven Dragon Kings.

The Ruotu Dragon King who was once able to shake the mountains and seas and wrestle with the emperor has passed away just like that?

The other immortals also had complicated expressions. They did not expect to hear the bad news suddenly. To them, King Ruotu was a comrade-in-arms during the Demon-God War. Even if they became enemies due to wear and tear, it would not be able to shake their relationship.

But they all knew that the Emperor, who regarded King Ruotu as his brother, would only suffer more.

“Choosing reincarnation does mean death, but compared to being suppressed in the darkness underground forever, perhaps this is more acceptable to him.” Zhongli explained softly.

Zhongli knew better than anyone about Rota's pursuit of light. It was because he opened the eyes of the blind dragon that Rota chose to follow him. Similarly, when Rota exploded because he could not tolerate the people of Liyue mining ore, he was sealed into the darkness underground by his best friend, which made him so angry.

True Lord Liuyun was slightly stunned, staring at Ajiu and said with emotion: "So it seems that this may be a turning point? We can fight side by side with the Dragon King again."

"Not necessarily." Zhongli shook his head slightly.

He was not worried about the influence that King Rota would have on Ajiu in his final moments. The newborn dragon king was just a child. As long as he taught her carefully, she would never have any hostility towards Liyue. However, the essence of the tragedy of King Rota was not the close relationship between them, but the exploitation of the mineral veins by the people of Liyue. This was an irreconcilable contradiction between man and nature.

If he wanted to solve the problem once and for all, he had to order Liyue to ban mining, but how was that possible?

“In fact, the conflict is not that sharp now.” Xie Yan stepped forward slowly. “At that time, Liyue was established not long ago. If it wanted to develop, it could only mine a large number of mineral veins. But Liyue has reached a new stage, and it is acceptable to reduce mining. Perhaps, the newly born Ruota Dragon King can move forward to a new chapter with Liyue.”

Of course, having said that, the future is still unpredictable. This kind of environmental problem is a big problem not only in Teyvat, but also on Earth.

It was precisely for this reason that Xie Yan could only follow Zhongli and continue to seal Brother Tuozi.

But Xie Yan's words still touched Zhongli. Liyue was indeed different from before, and Ajiu had just been born. There was still enough time to make up for their conflicts.

Thinking of this, Zhongli looked at Ajiu who was sleeping in his arms, and his eyes became firm again.

Seeing that his expression eased a little, the immortals then noticed Xie Yan.

He still had some of the magical power that allowed him to transform into a flat tower... ahem, a fire unicorn, and several immortals recognized his identity immediately.

Even someone as calm and composed as Xue Yue Zhu Yang couldn't help showing joy at this moment. As an elder, it was naturally gratifying to see the descendants of an old friend achieve success. However, when he was about to speak, he was a little at a loss, because the status of a god was much more noble than that of an immortal.

Xiao, who had been silent before, stood up and said, "He is a god from a foreign country and also a fairy from Liyue. There is no need to worry too much."

"Yeah, you guys were quite talkative just now, why are you silent now? The Great Sage who conquers demons is the one who sees things clearly." True Lord Liuyun flapped his wings twice, "Don't say so much nonsense, it's rare for us to get together, why don't we go to my cave to celebrate?"

While speaking, Master Liuyun's gaze kept lingering on Xie Yan and Gan Yu, and he nodded in appreciation from time to time.

Yes, the two of them look like a perfect match, and Ganyu is obviously much happier than before. Is this the nourishment of love?

Zhenjun Liuyun actually didn't quite understand. Even though she talked so much with Ganyu yesterday, she actually didn't have a clue in her heart. Now she finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't have to worry about being chased by her disciple.

Just as he was thinking this, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun suddenly agreed, "Now that everyone is here, it is indeed necessary to go to your place, Liuyun, after all, it concerns Ganyu's marriage."

"Oh, it was you, Lishui, who reminded me. Liuyun sent a message about this matter in the early hours of last night. Ganyu is getting married, and as elders, we have to give her a gift." True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang also nodded repeatedly.

However--

Ganyu, the person involved, was already standing there in a daze.

She was indeed prepared, and after learning that the Emperor had hinted at granting her marriage, she even fantasized about having a husband and raising children, but the immortals knew about it too quickly!

"Master!" Gan Yu stared straight at Master Liuyun, "You clearly promised me yesterday..."

Master Liuyun tilted his head awkwardly: "Ahaha, so I didn't tell you yesterday, I only told you this morning. Oh, Ganyu, please don't mind. It's a rare happy event, so how could I not inform everyone?"

To be honest, she was almost unable to hold it in yesterday. How could she hold it in any longer after 12 o'clock?

Seeing everyone's blessing eyes, Ganyu was happy but more shy. She picked up the longbow angrily and wiped the bow in front of Master Liuyun.

Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp!

Keqing's reaction was even greater. She opened her mouth in disbelief: "Ganyu, what's the matter with your marriage with Xie Yan? Could it be that Ningguang has secretly planned a marriage?"

The cat is frightened!

Ningguang, this is too much for an honest person, isn't it? She actually discussed Ganyu's marriage with the immortals? Why don't you just get married yourself!

But facing her indignation, Ganyu finally couldn't hide it anymore, so she lowered her head and said softly: "No, it's... I volunteered, it's not a marriage."

Ganyu was so shy that she couldn't raise her head to admit it in front of everyone, but she knew Keqing's character too well. If she let her misunderstand, this guy would definitely go to Yuehai Pavilion to make trouble with Ningguang, and then Keqing might really become the one to "take the bullet" for her!

Thinking back to the time when Ganyu had snatched Ningguang away in a confused manner, she didn’t want to be snatched away by Keqing.

To put it another way, even if she failed to intercept, she could not accept duo-queuing with Keqing. That would be too embarrassing.

It's not easy for her to team up with an ice C and a thunder C! Keqing is not an ice support.

As soon as she finished speaking, Keqing's face froze, her cat head moved, and her eyes looked back and forth between Xie Yan and Ganyu strangely.

It turns out it was something you wished for?

Bah, that’s not what Aqing wants to do!

Although I have always regarded Xie Yan as an idol and the two of us get along well, but when it comes to marriage, it always feels a bit weird to marry an idol... Well, but the family has been urging me to get married recently, it would be great if I could get Xie Yan to help block the way.

Keqing felt distressed when she thought about this. She didn't want to get married so early, but as a child of a large family, it was difficult for her to have independent marriage. Naturally, if she enjoyed the rights, she had to fulfill the corresponding responsibilities.

However, since Ganyu volunteered, Keqing did not worry too much. What she cared more about was the Rhodo Dragon King that the immortals had talked about before.

"Please stay, my dear immortals. I have heard of the legend of the Ruotu Dragon King, but I didn't expect that the Fulong Tree was really related to him. Now that he has chosen to reincarnate, will the anomaly at the South Heaven Gate end?"

"That's right, but Yuhengxing, you should have heard it before. If we want disasters to never happen again, humans must mine minerals in a reasonable way."

Keqing was stunned for a moment, then raised her head with a determined look and said, "Please rest assured, fellow immortals. I will bring up this matter at the Seven Star Council when I return. The people of Liyue will not let King Ruota down a second time."

Keqing paused and looked at Ajiu in Zhongli's arms: "But if the Dragon King is as good as the Emperor, why don't you let the immortals raise him first? What if we don't educate him properly, then..."

“No, didn’t you just say that the people of Liyue will never let down the Dragon King Ruotu again?” True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang smiled, “The future of Liyue will ultimately be determined by humans themselves.”

Keqing nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, in that case, we will leave first. Keqing, you and Zhongli... do you want us to see you off?"

"Well, there are still soldiers from the Qianyan Army ahead, so I'd better go back by myself."

Zhongli glanced at his apprentice and chuckled, "Don't bother you guys. As humans, we must always follow the human way of life."

The immortals looked at each other, trying to figure out the main idea of ​​the Emperor's move, and then they each flew up on a cloud and headed towards the cave in Jueyunjian together with Xie Yan and Gan Yu.
