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

"I will officially step down as the Rock King in three days."

The Ice God had also heard about this from Tartaglia and was not very surprised, he just asked a question.

"Have you decided yet?"

"It has been decided a long time ago, but there are too many things to do, so it has been delayed until now."

Hearing this, the Ice God nodded and waited for Zhongli's next words.

After a moment, Zhongli continued:

"The head of the sect will also be here to attend the Immortal Ceremony this time."

Now, the Ice God became excited, and even Tartaglia, who had been concentrating on eating just now, raised his head with a confused look on his face.

"The master is coming to Liyue? The master is leaving Shushan?"

The perceptive Tartaglia finally realized the great significance of this ceremony of summoning the immortals.

The Ice God took a deep breath, his mind full of thoughts.

The legendary Shushan leader will come in person, and then...

That's really great!

Maybe she could have avoided taking advantage of Zhongli's favor and left Dartagalia with a chance to be recommended as an inner disciple.

Directly contact Jiang Yan and become a disciple of Shushan.

Wouldn't that be perfect?

However, Zhongli’s next words made the Ice God stunned.

"I need you to help me lure out the demon from the sea, Osel."

"And his wife, Bache!".

264. Make Liyue the first vassal state of Shushan

The Ice God, who had been in a daze for a long time, finally reacted after being gently pushed by Rosalind.

He took a deep breath and looked at Zhongli with a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"You want me to...release Osel in front of the Shushan Sect Leader?"

"And Ba Che."

"..."

The Ice God looked at Zhongli with complicated eyes.

Zhongli is so busy...

Isn't it just to want her to die?

"Zhongli, I shouldn't have offended you, right?"

"how you said that?"

Zhongli looked at the Ice God in confusion, and the latter said angrily:

"If it were any other situation, I would help you lead out Osel and Ba Che, but you asked me to do this in front of the Shushan Sect Leader."

"Aren't you afraid that the Shushan Sect Leader will kill me?"

Zhongli shook his head.

"It's not you who will do it. It's these two executives under you who will do it."

The Ice God was relieved, but Rosalin and Alechino were confused.

After a moment, he reacted and looked at the Ice God anxiously.

They don't dare to do this unlucky job!

It's a rare occasion for the leader of Shushan to come out, and they let the devil out to cause trouble.

Isn't that a slap in the face?

After slapping the face of a peak-level expert who had achieved the state of spiritual refining and returning to the void, would they be able to leave behind their ashes?

Even if Jiang Yan is magnanimous, the two of them can forget about joining Shushan.

Isn't this going to cost them their lives?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhongli, I dare not do this."

The always arrogant Rosaline looked at the Ice God with some grievance.

Zhongli suddenly realized and said softly:

"So this is what you are afraid of. Don't worry, I will tell the Sect Master about this matter in advance, and the Sect Master will not vent his anger on you."

Hearing him say this, Rosalin and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, I thought of the large number of immortal cultivators and martial arts masters in Liyue.

The two of them were tangled again:

"But... there are so many immortal cultivators and warriors watching..."

"Don't worry, I will help you."

Zhongli comforted him again:

"Afterwards, I will personally explain to them and will not let you take the blame."

"You can say I asked you to do this."

Now, Bingshen and his companions felt relieved.

"But... I still don't understand why you would do this, especially when the head of Shushan is here in person."

The Ice God pursed his lips and continued:

"The head of Shushan is here in person. I'm sure all of Teyvat will look at us, and all the immortal cultivators will also come."

"You want me to release the demon at this critical moment, isn't that..."

As he was speaking, Bingshen was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhongli in surprise.

"Do you want all of Teyvat to see Liyue's strengths?"

The Ice God understood a little.

Now that Zhongli has abdicated and the Rock Emperor is no longer around, some forces will have some thoughts.

With the help of Osel, they showed their fist and told the world that even if the Geo King was gone, Liyue was not someone they could mess with.

As for whether he can deal with Osel, the Ice God is not worried.

There are so many immortal cultivators in Liyue Qunyu Pavilion, and they are not vegetarians.

Even Ying, who is busy eating next to him, can probably defeat Osel.

After all, even if Osel is a top-level demon god, he has been sealed for so long, and coupled with the wear and tear, it is hard to say how much strength he has left.

There are quite a few people in the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation in Liyue.

There are also a lot of people in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

I heard that there are two more masters who are preparing to overcome the tribulation.

Gan Yu, in particular, not only has a close relationship with Jiang Yan, but also has a spirit beast in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

This lineup, even if the Ice God himself was on it, wouldn't be able to withstand a round of righteous gang fight.

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"That may be a consideration, but more importantly, I can show the sect leader the strengths of Liyue today."

"As the first country to come into contact with Shushan, Liyue has its own advantages, but this does not mean that Liyue can remain complacent."

"I have read many classics of the immortal cultivation world. In the mortal realm of the immortal cultivation world, if you want to live a stable life, you can only rely on a powerful sect."

"The spiritual revival is continuing. No one can predict what Teyvat will become in the future."

"I need to make Liyue show its value and win the attention of the Sect Leader, so that Liyue can officially become a part of Shushan."

"In the future, Liyue may also be able to rely on Shushan to walk out of Teyvat and witness the vastness of the heavens and myriad worlds."

Zhongli was quite frank and directly stated all his purposes.

The Ice God looked at Zhongli with some envy.

Being the first to come into contact with Shushan is a huge advantage.

I can’t envy you.

"Of course, the most important thing is Osel and the others themselves."

Zhongli added another sentence.

"After I abdicate, Osel and Bache will definitely take action. By then, the initiative will no longer be in our hands."

“Although I know that with Liyue’s current strength, even if Osel comes out, he will not be able to escape death, but the sudden attack…”

“What if the Liyue cultivators are not in Liyue at that time? Wouldn’t that still cause considerable damage?”

"Rather than causing this disaster without any preparation, it is better for me to detonate it myself, taking advantage of the fact that all the cultivators in Liyue are here, and resolve the final crisis in one fell swoop."

“It also lets the people of Liyue know that even though the Geo King is gone, Liyue will still be able to protect them in the future.”

"Besides..."

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

Zhongli glanced meaningfully at Bingshen, Rosaline and others.

The Ice God knew that Zhongli was pointing fingers at her. Zhongli knew everything about the Fatui, including what the Ice God wanted to do.

So I didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, the Fatui are somewhat out of control and have gone too far, so Zhongli naturally has to express his dissatisfaction.

The Ice God knew what Zhongli meant.

He knew what he wanted to do, but...

Whether it is a sad wish or not, it cannot affect Liyue.

The Ice God gave a wry smile.

"The Fatui have indeed gotten out of control recently. This is my responsibility. I will find a way to restrain them."

Rosalin opened her mouth and wanted to defend the Ice God, saying that most of this was done by the Harlequin and the Doctor.

But the Ice God gave her a look that stopped her.

Zhongli doesn’t care who did it, just tell me if it was your executive.

In that case, if you didn't manage it well, it's your problem.

What he wants is not to shirk responsibility, but to solve the problem.

If they cannot behave decently, Zhongli will help them to do so.

The Ice God knew Zhongli’s character very well.

"The Fatui will all withdraw from Liyue as soon as possible, and the Northern Bank will also take smaller actions. I will warn the rich man to stop those unrealistic actions."

After hearing the Ice God's assurance, Zhongli nodded slightly.

"I am not an unkind person. I know that there are divisions among you Fatui now, and it is difficult for you to intervene. The Harlequin and the Doctor are also difficult for you to deal with."

"But in the final analysis, all this is because of your connivance."

“Especially the rich.”

"Resolve the problem as soon as possible. The Fatui do not need to withdraw all from Liyue. The times ahead are very dangerous, and I do not want to see you completely fall behind the times."

"But the Fatui in Liyue must obey."

"If you can't solve it, let Tartaglia practice for a while and then solve it for you. When he reaches the late stage of refining essence into qi, there will be no problem."

Tartaglia on the side nodded with a smile.
