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

Fu Nina retracted her gaze and asked:

"What to consider?"

"I've said it before, the Sect Master won't care about the mundane affairs of Teyvat. Those who can catch the Sect Master's eye are not from any country, but only immortal cultivators."

"Because asking the Sect Master for this kind of thing will only make you look incompetent."

"No need!"

"Since we have a solution now, why not solve the problem ourselves?"

Seeing that Finina's tone was serious, Fukaros chuckled in his heart and let go of the last bit of worry.

"You have really grown a lot, Funina..."

"In that case, I'll ask you to introduce me from now on. From now on, Fontaine will be in your hands."

Furninna blinked and patted her chest with a smile.

"Leave it to me. But remember, if you become an elder or the head monk, you must give me some spirit stones."

"As Liyue says, when you drink the water, remember the well-digger!"

The two nodded helplessly.

"understood."

Jiang Yan was like a spotlight. As long as he sat there, he would naturally attract countless people's attention.

Countless people who came to watch the ceremony looked up at him, and some of them had planned to wait until the head of Shushan appeared.

You must seize the opportunity to request to join Shushan.

But when the other party really appeared, this thought could not come to my mind at all.

However, some girls shifted their attention and stared at Jiang Yan, especially when he was hugging Keli and making her laugh.

Perfect looks, gentle personality, noble status, powerful strength...

Isn't this the perfect other half?

pity……

After all, he is a cultivator and the leader of Mount Shu.

It is not an existence that mortals can care about.

Only by becoming a cultivator...

The amazing thing is.

Ever since Jiang Yan appeared in Liyue, the desire for immortality among the women of Liyue instantly surpassed that of the men of Liyue.

It's actually something worth laughing about.

Below, Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Yan had arrived, and she no longer delayed the progress.

He exchanged a glance with the other awakened Qi, then walked to the tribute table and began the process.

This kind of thing only requires Ningguang to do it, after all, she is the person in charge of the ceremony of inviting the immortals this year.

But this time the ceremony of inviting the immortals was the last one, and it was also the time when Zhongli was going to announce his abdication.

Everyone, of course, has to be present.

With a touch of the hand, three sticks of incense lit up, and the smoke curled up into the sky.

Ningguang respectfully inserted the incense and candles and said loudly:

"Please begin the Immortal Ceremony and respectfully invite the Emperor to come!"

The other seven stars echoed and shouted again.

The next moment, a colorful vortex formed in the sky.

A golden and majestic dragon was hovering in the clouds.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly lowered his head, his pair of dragon eyes showing majesty without even being angry.

The people of Liyue who were looking up on the ground were filled with admiration.

After a silent roar, the dragon suddenly turned into golden light and swooped down to the earth.

At the last moment when it touched the ground, it suddenly shrank.

Then, Zhongli walked out.

Although his clothes had not changed at this moment, he looked very majestic against the backdrop of the dragon's body.

This time, he did not hide anything and appeared directly as Zhongli.

"I've met the emperor!"

The Yujing Terrace erupted with deafening greetings from the people of Liyue.

Zhongli nodded slightly and then looked in the direction of Jiang Yan.

He bowed respectfully and said:

"The acting head of Longshou Peak of Shushan Mountain, the King of Liyue Rock, Zhongli, greets the head of the sect."

"It is a great honor for Liyue that the Sect Master has come to watch the ceremony."

Jiang Yan chuckled and spoke softly, but his voice was heard by everyone.

"Master Zhongli, you are welcome."

"Master Zhongli devoted himself to Shushan and performed his duties conscientiously, allowing the Law Enforcement Hall to revive in a short period of time and resume its duty of supervising Shushan."

"I just came to watch the ceremony, it's nothing."

"Besides, I have been practicing in Shushan every day and have not been to the secular world for many days. This trip can be regarded as a way to temper my mind in the secular world."

"Don't pay too much attention to me."

"Master Zhongli, this is your ceremony to invite the immortals, so you should treat it with the utmost importance."

Zhongli nodded slightly and said seriously:

"Thank you for your understanding, Master."

Immediately, Zhongli withdrew his gaze and looked at the countless people of Liyue.

Although it was rumored that Zhongli had already joined Shushan and became the head monk of Shushan, but now I saw it with my own eyes.

In the end, it made the people of Liyue even happier.

Their own Emperor Rock King is an important figure in Shushan. How can they not be proud?

Everyone looked at Zhongli eagerly, waiting for him to give instructions for the New Year.

But Zhongli's eyes looked distant, and he spoke something completely different from before.

"Since the founding of Liyue... it has been more than 3,700 years."

"And I... have lived for more than six thousand years."

"Over six thousand years, the world has changed dramatically. My life is too long. I have lost a lot, but I have also gained a lot."

“On the road of building and protecting Liyue, I personally witnessed the death of many old friends and the sacrifice of many people.”

217

"The establishment and development of Liyue has never been smooth sailing. I understand how much blood and tears have gone into the achievement of today's Liyue."

"But the people of Liyue have lived up to their blood and tears. When I founded Liyue, I once asked your ancestors what kind of life they wanted."

"Their answers were different. They wanted to be richer, healthier, and more peaceful..."

“But when asked what kind of Liyue they want, everyone told me that they want a Liyue that is strong enough to intimidate all enemies who covet Liyue.”

"Today, three thousand seven hundred years later, you have already produced a perfect answer sheet. This answer sheet is not for me."

"It's for your ancestors, for yourselves, and for Liyue."

Zhongli's eyes were bright, with unprecedented determination and a barely perceptible hint of nostalgia.

"Establishment, development, poverty, prosperity, victory, disaster..."

"Over the past 3,700 years, Liyue has grown from a weak state to a powerful one. I have been with it from the beginning to the end."

"Liyue has become what makes me and all Liyue ancestors proud. I am satisfied."

"I think it's time..."

Hearing this, Ningguang and the others became nervous. The people of Liyue also seemed to have sensed something was wrong and looked at Zhongli anxiously.

Zhongli looked up at Jiang Yan and said slowly:

"In your eyes, Liyue is only about 3,700 years old, but I..."

"From the time I was born until now, I have been fighting for Liyue. At that time, Liyue was not called Liyue."

"Liyue today no longer needs my guidance. In fact, my outdated ideas may even become a burden to Liyue."

"so……"

Zhongli took a deep breath. Although he had been prepared for a long time, he still felt a little sad when he really said it out loud.

but……

The arrow has been shot and there is no turning back. He can no longer go on like this.

Zhongli raised his head and said in a resounding voice:

"In the name of the Rock King, Morax, I declare that this is the last time Liyue will hold this ceremony to invite the immortals."

"From today on..."

"Emperor Geo has abdicated, Liyue is ruled by no god, and will be returned to the people!"

278. Goodbye Emperor, Hello, Zhongli...

Ever since Zhongli started to speak, many smart people in Liyue guessed that something big was going to happen at today's ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Now that I think about it, all of this actually had signs that could be traced back a long time ago.

It was clearly just an annual ceremony to invite the immortals, not a grand event at all.

Why is Chil-sing making such a big fuss?

Why do we have to specially invite the head of Shushan to come here?

Isn't it just an annual event?

No matter how important it is to Liyue, it is still a festival of the mortal world. How could they have the honor to allow the leader of Shushan to come in person?

Now that I see it, I understand.

They didn't come here for the festival, but to give face to Zhongli, the chief of Mount Shu.

Starting today...

Liyue has no gods...

This news shocked the entire Yujingtai. Not only were the people of Liyue confused, but even the people from other countries who came to join in the fun felt a little scared.

The first and longest-reigning ruler of the world, Emperor Rock, has stepped down?

Not only did he resign, but he also completely abolished the position of Emperor Rock King in one go?

From now on, Liyue can no longer have a second god to manage it, and the people of Liyue can only govern themselves?

I know that Liyue is taking big steps, but...

Isn't this too big a step?

Even in Mondstadt next door, where freedom has come to an end, isn’t there still a wind god in power?

No matter whether he does his job properly or not, at least he has not lost his position as the God of Wind.

Zhongli has now completely broken the pattern of the seven ruling powers in the mortal world.

From now on, will Teyvat be considered one of the six ruling powers in the world?

"Emperor..."
