Original God: Founding the Shushan Sect, Gathering People in Teyvat to Cultivate Immortality.

After a moment, the Ice God looked at Tartaglia and said:

"How is your relationship with the travelers?"

"relation?"

Tartaglia scratched his cheek and asked tentatively:

"We had a fight, does that count?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the Ice God said with a look of disappointment:

"It's a waste of opportunity for you to go to Shushan! Is fighting your only way of communicating?"

"Well... actually I did say a few words."

Tartaglia laughed awkwardly and said seriously:

"Ying practiced the simplified version of the master's Divine Sword and Lightning Control Technique, and she also possessed a divine body. She killed me in one move, and then I praised Ying for her profound cultivation."

"It's a harmonious exchange, isn't it?"

The Ice God opened his mouth, but after a long while he only let out a sigh.

"We should find a way to get closer to them. Since Mondstadt and Liyue can hire them to take up positions, then Zhidong may not be unable to do so."

"The strategic significance of these two divine bodies in the realm of immortal cultivation is too important."

Tartaglia was also a little embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

"I remember."

On the Qun Yu Pavilion.

At this time, Zhong Li and others had all arrived, but they were all sitting at the long table and no one spoke.

With a flash of sword light, Ying and Paimeng landed quietly, took a look at the situation of everyone, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I'm not the last one to arrive."

Zhongli put down the teacup and looked at Ying helplessly.

"No, you are the last one."

Ying was stunned for a moment, checked the number of people again, and complained:

"Aren't Xiao and Ganyu still here?"

"Xiao and Ganyu are about to break through to the Spirit Refining Stage and prepare to survive the tribulation. It's just a meeting. There's no need to let them leave Shushan."

After hearing Zhongli's explanation, Ying touched her cheek awkwardly.

"Um...something happened on the way. Sorry."

"No problem."

Zhongli withdrew his gaze and looked around at the people present.

The most powerful person in the entire Liyue is here.

I feel a little melancholy, but also a sense of relief.

After a pause, Zhongli said softly:

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. There is only one topic for this meeting."

"Regarding the Summoning Immortal Ceremony in three days, I will officially resign from the position of Rock King and return Liyue to its people."

261. Zhongli longed for retirement life and became the first official abbot of Shushan.

"I didn't make this decision on impulse, and it has nothing to do with the topic that Yuhengxing asked me about during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony last year."

"I have had the idea of ​​abdicating for a long time."

With the first sentence, Zhongli set the tone.

Also keep Keqing out of this matter, otherwise, who knows what unpleasant things the people of Liyue will say.

Of course, Keqing might not care.

No one responded, just stared at Zhongli quietly.

Today's meeting was just a notice. Zhongli has already decided to abdicate, and no one can pull him back.

What's more, as I have said before, now it is nothing more than a formal confirmation, and then an announcement, thinking about the holding of the ceremony to invite the immortals, and the appeasement of the subsequent impacts.

Zhongli looked at melancholy, and said with some emotion:

"I am the demon god who has lived the longest. After more than 6,000 years, even rocks will be weathered, let alone me back then."

"In the past, Ruota's worn-out and blurred mind caused a huge disaster."

"Although the disaster ended and Ruota was sealed under the suppression of me and many immortals, the casualties caused are unquestionable."

"Wear and tear may not be worth mentioning to you who have already cultivated immortals. The life span of immortal cultivators is extremely long. Even now, the life span of everyone present is at least hundreds of years."

"But before they became immortals, the wear and tear of "210" was the most terrible calamity that plagued all the immortals in Teyvat."

"Once they are worn down and their minds are lost, they will do many terrible things."

"Just like Ruo Tuo back then, once upon a time, he was also a hero of Liyue. Ruo Tuo also devoted unparalleled efforts to the establishment of Liyue."

“But later, he still wielded the butcher knife against the people of Liyue despite being worn out.”

"And I am no exception."

This was the first time that Zhongli opened his heart and told everyone about his true thoughts.

This feeling of not having to hide anything and being able to speak his mind is really good for him.

It's a relief.

In his heart, as long as today was over and the ceremony of inviting the immortal was completed.

Morax's identity died in the history of the past.

From today on, only Zhongli, the abbot of Longshou Peak in Mount Shu, is left.

fair enough.

"Six thousand years have passed, and I have been worn out extremely badly. Gradually, I have begun to forget many things."

"Those stories that I thought I would remember for the rest of my life have become blurred in my memory."

"This is just the beginning. Later, I will forget more and more things, forget why I exist, and forget why I established Liyue."

"Even, he may forget his original intention and become a madman who only knows how to kill."

“This is an irreversible future.”

Zhongli shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip. When he spoke frankly about these things now, it was as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

But Liu Yun and others felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Zhongli has suffered too much pain, but they have never considered this matter.

Stubbornly believe that only Liyue with Zhongli is the real Liyue.

The people of Liyue and them are all too selfish.

"You can say that Ruotu's future is my future, and it may be even more terrifying because I can suppress Ruotu, but no one can suppress me."

As he spoke, Zhongli's aura suddenly became more confident.

"I am the God of War, I am the Rock King Emperor, I am the longest-living god."

“So, if something happens to me, no one in the entire Liyue will be able to stop me. The Liyue that I built with my own hands will be destroyed by my own hands.”

“I don’t want to see this kind of future.”

"not to mention……"

As he spoke, Zhongli suddenly sighed.

"I'm really a little tired."

This sentence made everyone's heart tremble, and they all lowered their heads.

Keqing suddenly recalled that she had begged Zhongli to abdicate later a few days ago because of the Shushan cultivation matter.

Thinking about it now, she was really too selfish.

"Originally, I planned to fake my death during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, shed my Dharma body, and give the Heart of God to the Ice God to help her complete her great cause."

"This way, my strength will decrease a bit, and the speed of wear and tear will also be reduced a lot."

"at last……"

Zhongli turned his gaze towards Ying and said softly:

"At some point, my wear and tear could no longer be reversed. In my last moment of madness, the traveler followed the destined cycle of reincarnation and traveled all over Teyvat..."

"Will have the power to kill me."

"And I will die in her hands, completing the last link of the cycle of reincarnation. This is my plan, and it is the only solution to free Liyue from worries."

"I used to be the guardian of Liyue, but as I wear down, I may become Liyue's most dangerous disaster."

Ningguang looked at Zhongli with mixed feelings, and her tone softened unconsciously.

"So your original plan, Your Majesty, was to ask Xian Dianyi to fake his own death and remove his Dharma body. This would not only weaken your own combat power, but also..."

"Let your Dharma body become Liyue's last national treasure?"

Zhongli did not deny it.

He has many Dharma bodies, but there is no doubt that the dragon body is his strongest Dharma body.

Even without the dragon body, he was still very strong, but not invincible.

Zhongli is not bragging, but does he really get the title of God of War for nothing?

At the beginning, he was alone and angrily slashed the four top demons together.

The war in Kanreya caused so many casualties that Tianli was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep. Zhongli only suffered some minor injuries and had recovered long ago.

Even in the second year, the ceremony of inviting immortals was continued.

This guy's strength is definitely at the supermodel level.

If they were to go crazy due to wear and tear at this rate, the entire Liyue would be doomed.

In Zhongli's heart, by giving up his dragon body, the most powerful part of his power was stripped away. The Heart of God didn't matter anymore, as it would be a part of his destined reincarnation in the future.

When he is completely worn out, in the final mad moment, Ying should have the power to kill him.

He could barely control himself and face death calmly.

This was the last thing he did for Liyue.

Even if things are impossible, his dragon body can still save some of the Liyue people.

But Zhongli didn't really want that kind of development.

It can be said that Zhongli even planned to kill himself for Liyue.

Fortunately, Shushan appeared.

He doesn't have to care about these messy plans.

"Emperor...why didn't you tell us before?"

Liu Yun looked at Zhongli with mixed feelings.

Compared to those immortals who stay in Jueyunjian and don't care about worldly affairs, Zhongli is the one who truly cares about Liyue.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhongli asked back.

"I know you, just as you know me. If you knew, you would stop me at all costs."

"You'll say there are other ways."

"Even bringing the entire Liyue to find a way to rescue me at all costs."
