Zhongli raised his eyebrows. He could see that it was not the Eye of God at all, but a glass bead. There seemed to be some strange runes engraved inside the glass bead. This might be the reason why it could guide the power of elements.
However, this glass bead itself does not have any elemental power, which is very abnormal.
In this world, not only the Eye of God can use elemental power, but others, such as elemental creatures or demons, can use elemental power to fight and do various things.
But these beings themselves store elemental forces, and these elemental forces serve as carriers of guidance.
Including the Fatui, they are able to use elemental power because their weapons and equipment are made of materials containing elemental power. This glass bead itself does not contain elements, but it can guide out elements.
He could feel that when water appeared in Zheping's hands, a strange force appeared out of nowhere inside the glass beads, and then that force dissipated, acting as a catalyst to guide the elemental force and eventually forming the water.
Where does that kind of power come from?
This question popped up in Zhongli’s mind.
But immediately, Teppei's words answered his question.
"Thank you... for lending me your power! Great God, I will make good use of this power to help more people!"
"Use it well, but miracles and power are not free. Using it will drain your spirit. Don't use it too much, or you will pass out."
Bai Zhi did not take out the divine eye that could borrow unlimited power, because she knew very well that this was not a good choice. When a person has unlimited borrowed power, it will become terrifying.
"Yes, I will, respected God." Zheping looked at Baizhi with reverence.
"Is it actually the power borrowed from Bai Zhi?"
Zhongli was a little surprised, but then relieved. This was not unexpected to him, because this method actually existed in immortal arts. In Liyue, many people would burn incense and use specific rituals to call on the power of immortals for protection.
However, it was still the same old question. He was really curious about who Bai Zhi was before.
This method of borrowing power is generally very complicated, especially for ordinary people. Although it is not impossible to shrink it to such a small glass bead, it is not a simple task.
This means that Baizhi should be very accomplished in magic.
There are not many demons with this ability. Zhongli searched through the ones he knew, but none of them met Baizhi's characteristics.
"Well, now that you have received my gift, you should hand over the thing that originally gave you the power. That kind of power is not for you to use."
"Of course that's no problem!"
Without saying a word, Zheping took out a pendant similar to the Eye of God from his arms and handed it to Baizhi.
"It is indeed the evil eye. These Fatui are a group of people who never change their bad habits."
As soon as Hu Tao saw it, she said the name of this thing. There were often Fatui wandering around some places in Liyue. Hu Tao had naturally defeated many of them and got this thing from them.
"Hmm, this is the evil eye..."
Bai Zhi carefully observed the scarlet pendant, and her mental power seeped into it, carefully exploring the mysteries of the pendant's structure.
The structure of this thing isn't particularly difficult. Through some means, life force is absorbed into it and then converted into elemental power. The main material inside it seems to be several powerful elemental creations.
"The evil eye is made from some residual materials left by dead demon gods. I once saw the Fatui collecting the remains of those dead demon gods in Liyue. I happened to overhear them talking when I passed by."
Seeing that Baizhi was curious about the evil eye, Hu Tao told her what she knew.
“It’s a method worth learning from. Maybe I can make one myself to play with in the future.”
Bai Zhi touched her chin. Although the evil eye could harm people, sometimes some people might actually be willing to use their own lives to gain power.
If she could imitate this thing and make some evil eyes of her own, and give them to people she didn't want to give the Eye of God to, it would be a good choice.
It can be said that this is a good thing for causing trouble.
Putting away the evil eye, Bai Zhi looked at Zheping happily. In her previous life, this matter was something she felt very sorry about, about the struggle of ordinary people against ordinary life.
However, in her previous life, Zheping was not noticed by the gods and eventually died with regret. But now, she can give a little help to this person who is unwilling to be ordinary.
158 I believe Yingbao should be willing to listen to the teachings of the seniors.
"What did you say? You didn't receive a call from Lord Yanshen?"
On the outlying island, Yae Kamiko looked a little surprised at the society executive who came running over in a hurry.
"Yes... Master Yamaguchi, we did not see any ships from Liyue outside the island... Instead, uh..."
"Why are you hesitating? Just say it directly. Don't you know how important this matter is?"
Yae Shinto frowned, and her tone became somewhat unfriendly. Normally, she could be a little more unrestrained, but this was a matter of receiving gods from other countries, and she could not be careless at all.
She had been corresponding with Liyue's Sister Ganyu for a long time and knew what kind of person the Geo God was. Compared to her own otaku girl, he was simply a perfect Saint King who had achieved the ultimate in all aspects.
He is worthy of the title of the oldest god among the Seven Gods.
When facing this kind of person, it is absolutely impossible to have a playful attitude.
"According to the soldiers who just returned from Haigi Island, they seemed to have encountered a large ship of Liyue style while fighting the rebels. We guess...it is very likely the vehicle that Lord Rock God took."
The staff of the society expressed this conjecture cautiously.
"Master Yaeyoshi, you know, this matter can be said to be a scandal among the major magistrates, and it is still in the speculation stage, so except for the Society Magistrate, the other major magistrates tend to pretend that they don't know about this matter, but Master Ayato has decided to tell you about this matter."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Those guys are still the same as always, trying to cover up everything. Are they still thinking that once the truth is revealed, they can just bow and apologize and that'll be it?"
Yae Shinto narrowed his eyes and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Over the past few hundred years, the several major magistrates have become more and more arrogant, and they even dared to make the decision to keep such things secret."
If things continue like this, will I have to make decisions on behalf of Thor in the future?
The society's executive officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and dared not say anything. If these words got out, Yae Shinto, as a follower of the God of Thunder, would probably be fine, but as a small pawn, he would probably be in trouble.
"Don't worry, this matter is not your problem. On the contrary, your company magistrate and Ayato are doing a good job. As for what happened to Lord Iwagami on Kaigi Island, you don't have to worry about it. I will make the decision myself!"
The Eightfold Son of God stood up. The eternal rule that had lasted for hundreds of years should also come to an end. The brain circuit of the otaku girl in his family was too stubborn, and it would be impossible to reverse it without a strong enough external force to break it.
And now, the powerful external force has arrived, and she only needs a small push.
"Well...I believe that dear Ying will be willing to listen to some teachings from the old senior."
As if she had thought of some interesting scenes, Yae Kamiko showed a fox-like smile.
Seeing Yae Goddess walking away without them, the staff scratched their heads in confusion. Why did Goddess just leave like that without saying anything? ?
Forget it, I'll just go and report these matters to Lord Ayato.
After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to ask Yae Shinto, so he made this decision.
At the same time, on Haiji Island, Xinhai had hurriedly come to Baizhi.
"Ah, Lord Xinhai, you are finally here."
Seeing Xin Hai, Wu Lang hurriedly raised his hands to the right and pointed at Bai Zhi, "This is the respected Lord Yan Wangdijun."
He was afraid that Xinhai had made a mistake. After all, compared to Baizhi who looked harmless, the calm and handsome Mr. Zhongli next to him looked more like the God of Rock.
After these words came out, Xin Hai was slightly stunned. When she saw everyone for the first time, she really thought that the tall man was the God of Rock.
After all, the messenger came back without reporting what Lord Yan Shen looked like.
"Heavenly Sea, Coral Palace, Haiji Island, greetings to the Emperor!"
When he came in front of Baizhi, Xinhai prepared to kneel down and worship her respectfully.
"Hey, that's not necessary..."
Baizhi waved her hand lightly, and the chicken spell was activated, lifting up Xinhai who was about to salute.
"I am just a guest here. You are the host here. How can a host bow to a guest? You don't have to treat me like a god. Just treat me as an ordinary friend."
Bai Zhi looked Xin Hai up and down. He had a light and graceful temperament and outstanding appearance. In the past, many people speculated that Xin Hai was actually the Water Dragon King, but after Feng Dan came out later, they realized that this speculation was outrageous.
"Then Xinhai would be disrespectful to refuse." Xinhai did not continue to hesitate, but bowed. The gods had given him face, so there was no need to do anything pretentious.
"Master Xinhai, just now, the Emperor intervened and saved Zheping. If it weren't for the Emperor, Zheping would have been sucked dry by the evil eye."
"That's right. If it weren't for the Emperor's intervention, I would have been..."
Zheping seemed a little scared. He was really too impulsive before and put his life on fire like this.
Xin Hai's eyes lit up, "Thank you for your help, Emperor. I would like to thank you on behalf of everyone on Haiji Island!"
"Thanks are all empty words. It's better to prepare something delicious. We've been on the boat for such a long time. The Emperor is a god and doesn't need to eat, but I, Zhongli Keqing, the captain and the crew are so hungry that our stomachs are starting to rebel~"
Walnut put his hands on his hips and spoke very casually.
Bai Zhi looked at Hu Tao speechlessly, wondering what it meant that gods don't need to eat.
Although she is blessed by the dog talisman and does not need to eat and will not starve to death, humans' pursuit of delicious food is eternal.
What's the point of immortality if you can't eat delicious food.
"However, the Emperor left many legends of delicacies praised by him personally in Liyue Harbor. So, although the Emperor can choose not to eat, he should still be very knowledgeable about food. Miss Xinhai, please bring out all your delicacies."
"Maybe, in the future, I can leave behind a special dish that the emperor praises, which can be used as a source of income~"
"This is the perfect suggestion given to you by the head of the Wangsheng Hall!"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot such an important thing. I'll ask someone to prepare the special dishes of Umijima right away."
Xinhai was also slightly stunned, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was meeting a god, but something went wrong with the meal.
"It seems that many things in the novel are not true. Gods are not detached from the mundane world and they also comment on food. So, General, are you really as strict and ruthless as the legend says, with only eternity in your eyes?"
159 Zhongli, why don’t you eat seafood?
"This is a specialty of Haiji Island. It is made with a variety of seafood and mixed with some of our special underwater plants."
Inside the Coral Palace, Xinhai was having many dishes brought up, but most of them were seafood.
"It's just some rough cooking by the people in the mountains. I hope the emperor doesn't mind."
Kneeling in front of the table, Xin Hai said apologetically, "The food that the Emperor eats in Liyue must be delicacies with a long history. However, due to the scarcity of supplies on Haiqi Island, people can only rely on the sea for food, so the food is definitely not as good as that in Liyue."
Bai Zhi picked up an octopus tentacle, put it in the bowl, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully for a few times, and commented:
"It's very flavorful and chewy. It's a delicious seafood feast. The chewy texture fills your lips. The blue waves are rolling and the white jade is surging. The golden plate is shining and reflecting the beauty. The nectar nourishes your lips and tongue. The scallops and dragon whiskers are around your fingertips. Everyone praises the seafood delicacies, and the whole table is full of delicious food."
After saying this, Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction. Although she had only been in Xianzhou for more than two years, she had been influenced by the people around her and had learned a little bit of literary skills.
"The Emperor's poetry is quite good, so I'll have some too. The seafood is really delicious, and the chewiness is so strong that it makes you scream. When you take a bite, the juice flows out, and the fragrance fills your mouth. Shrimp soldiers and crabs are all on the battlefield, and shellfish are not weak either. You will feel satisfied after taking a bite, and the aftertaste is endless and satisfying."
As if inspired by Bai Zhi's poem, Hu Tao also wrote a couplet.
"Okay, okay, Master Hu is right."
Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up and looked at Zhongli.
"Mr. Zhongli, why don't you eat? This seafood is very delicious. You should come and enjoy it."
Seeing Zhongli looking embarrassed, Bai Zhi smiled mischievously and spoke seriously.
"Hehe, Emperor, you don't know that Zhongli Keqing is usually very particular, so when he sees such a simple dish, he can't put down his chopsticks~"
Walnut also added a sentence.
Zhongli: "..."
How can you be happy if you have a boss like this who cheats his employees?
"Ahem, Emperor, I am...I am allergic to some seafood, especially squid. I cannot enjoy it. Just give me some of Inazuma's simplest rice balls or other food."
Looking at the pot full of seafood and the bunch of tentacles floating on it, Zhongli swallowed his saliva. A long-lost feeling of nausea appeared in his heart, reminding him of the monsters that emerged from the deep sea during the Demon War.
The sticky touch almost drove him crazy.
"Very good! This seafood is really delicious. However, speaking of this seafood, I remembered an incident that appeared in the biography of the Emperor. It is said that during the Demon-God War, monsters from the deep sea wanted to invade Liyue. The ancestors were powerless to stop it, so they asked the Emperor to destroy those deep sea monsters."
"According to records, the Emperor caused rock pillars of various sizes to grow on the earth and destroyed these deep-sea monsters."
"At that time, Liyue had a good time using the meat of these deep-sea monsters. Many seafood dishes were also passed down from that time... Hey, Guest Zhongli, why do you look like you're about to vomit?"
Hu Tao looked at Zhongli with some suspicion as his expression became increasingly uglier.
"Master Hu, please stop talking. Mr. Zhongli probably has some psychological trauma to seafood. This doesn't look like an allergy. If Mr. Zhongli is damaged, how can he work properly?"
Seeing that Zhongli's expression was getting weirder and weirder, Baizhi quickly stopped Hutao from speaking any further.
Master Zhong is an emperor after all. It would be so disgraceful if he spit it out here.
"...Thank you for your understanding..."
