Li Pan also smiled back.

Along the way, many people recognized Li Pan, and Li Pan's face was frozen with smiles.

They finally made it to Yuejingtai. The solemn atmosphere here left no one with time to talk. They all stared at Ningguang in the center of the venue, and Li Pan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey, isn't this a money-grubber? Why are you here too?"

At this time, a soft voice sounded behind Li Pan.

Li Pan turned around and saw that it was Kong and Paimon.

Pikachu was standing on Kong's shoulder, happily licking a tube of ketchup, while Paimon was holding a marshmallow of the same style as Li Pan's.

"Hey, it's Sora and Paimon, hello."

Li Pan smiled and rubbed Paimon's face with his fingers.

"Well~ I won't rub it for you."

But the next moment, Paimon flew directly behind Kong, leaving only a small head exposed.

"Boss Li, are you here to attend the ceremony of inviting the immortals as well?"

At this time, Kong Cai asked Li Pan.

"Yes, this is a major event that happens once a year in Liyue. The Rock King will also perform a miracle on this day."

Li Pan looked at Ningguang on the open space and spoke to the air without turning his head.

"Boss Li, may I ask what kind of god is the Rock King?"

Sora looked at the empty space and asked absentmindedly.

"Hmm? Ask me? But I'm not from Liyue. I've only been in Liyue for less than a year. Instead of asking me, why don't you ask other native Liyue people?"

Li Pan was stunned for a moment and answered with a smile.

"I have asked them, and they have given many answers. Although they are different, the Rock King Emperor they mentioned is without exception a symbol of wisdom and might. This time I came to ask Boss Li because I wanted to see what kind of god Xiu is from a different perspective."

Kong looked at Li Pan and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Pan couldn't help laughing.

"So that's what you're talking about. If I were to say, he might be a social animal who has worked in the same job for more than 6,000 years."

Li Pan touched his chin and thought for a while before giving this answer.

Chapter 286 Rock God Resigns

"Corporate animal? Why do you say that?"

This word, which had not been heard for a long time, successfully made Kong laugh, and he continued to ask.

"Think about it, if you were given a job to do for 6,000 years, would you be willing to do it?"

Sora quickly shook his head.

"I don't want to. That's six thousand years. Just thinking about it makes me shudder."

Kong likes to travel everywhere because he can see different scenery and encounter different things during the trip, which can keep him fresh.

If he had to travel to the same place for six thousand years, Sora would get bored.

"Look, even you who don't have to worry about wear and tear think so, let alone Morax."

Li Pan spread his hands and smiled gently.

"If you ask me, that Morax guy is probably getting fed up with it."

Suddenly, Li Pan leaned close to Kong's ear and spoke mysteriously.

Hearing this, Kong's ears suddenly pricked up. After all, the person who said this was not an ordinary person, but Boss Li.

He carefully looked around. Fortunately, Li Pan found a secluded place, and he followed him. There were not many people around, so he asked carefully. "Boss Li, do you say that because you have some inside information?"

Li Pan quickly shook his head.

"No, you're overthinking it. I just said it casually. But anyway, if it were you, facing the current situation, you were tired of it and wanted to quit, what would you do?"

Although Li Pan said so, how could Kong believe it? He looked at Li Pan deeply. With Boss Li's identity, how could he say such unreasonable words to him for no reason? He must know some gossip that others don't know, and he is pointing at him.

Sora stroked his chin and thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"If it were me, I would probably fake my death and see how the people of Liyue would deal with danger after I die. If the people of Liyue really can't do it, I would return like lightning and clear all obstacles. If the people of Liyue can do it, I would just retire after achieving my goal."

After saying that, Sora added again.

"After all, it's a relationship that has lasted for 6,000 years. Even if I had to raise a cat or dog for 6,000 years, I wouldn't want to give it up, let alone a place as big as Liyue. How can there be a cat or dog that has lasted for 6,000 years?"

Listening to Kong's words, Li Pan looked at him deeply, which made his hair stand on end. After a while, Kong pointed at himself unconfidently.

"Am I right?"

But Li Pan shook his head like a rattle.

"No, I just said it casually. What are you thinking about?"

But when he looked up, Li Pan saw Kong looking at him strangely. He scratched his face and asked in confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kong looked at Li Pan and answered slowly.

"Boss Li, I'm just saying that. Don't take it to heart. Let me give you an example. If the Rock King really faked his death, the people of Liyue would lose their patriarch who had protected them for six thousand years. They would be so angry that they would lose their minds. And who in the Qingxian Dianyi would be able to hurt the Rock King who emerged from the Demon God War and became one of the seven winners? Seven Stars? Come on, Seven Stars are just seven mortals."

Li Pan blinked, and at first he didn't react to what Kong was saying.

"Indeed, to hurt the Rock King, one must have at least the combat power of a demon god. The Seven Stars are just seven mortals. How can they have the combat power of a demon god? Diancie, Land Cloud, you two agree, right?"

Wait, Diancie, land cloud?

Suddenly, Li Pan’s eyes widened.

There are demon god-level fighters on the Tsukikyo platform now, and they are all on his side. There is also a Rayquaza hiding somewhere and the Dialga he carries with him.

Speaking of which, if Zhongli really fakes his death, then the blame will be put on him.

"No, I have to find where Hu Tao is. If Zhongli really wants to fake his death, I have to drag him out of the Hall of Rebirth even if I have to."

Li Pan thought in his heart.

He was just about to leave, but at this moment, something unexpected happened on the field.

Ningguang's tedious ritual was finally completed. The elemental power of rock transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, dispersing the clouds in the sky.

The next moment, the half-scale, half-dragon beast descended along the light column and floated in the air.

Seeing this scene, both Li Pan and Kong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, that assumption did not hold true.

"Please give your order, Emperor!"

At this moment, Ningguang's voice came.

The next step should be for Geo Emperor to announce what Liyue needs to do in the coming year, and that will be the end of it.

Liyue has lived like this for six thousand years, and there has never been a mistake. The people of Liyue have also become accustomed to this kind of life.

But this time, it seemed a little different. The Rock Dragon emitting a sacred light flew in the sky, looking deeply at the people on Yuejingtai, and did not speak for a long time.

Having not heard the Emperor's decree, both Ningguang and the people of Liyue began to speculate and feel uneasy.

After a while, the huge rock dragon finally opened its mouth.

"This year, I will not give you instructions for next year as usual."

After hearing this, the ones who reacted the most were the businessmen below.

The Rock King has never made a mistake.

This principle has been implemented for six thousand years. As long as these merchants follow the instructions of Emperor Rock King, they may not necessarily make a lot of money, but they will definitely make some money.

But this year, the Rock King Emperor did not promulgate the rule of law.

This dumbfounded all the businessmen who were used to making money without doing anything.

"From now on, I will step down from my duties as Rock God."

One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises. Compared with the previous sentence, this one is the real storm.

"Emperor, did we do something wrong? Are you angry?"

Someone in the crowd asked blankly.

But the huge Rock Dragon smiled and shook his head.

"No, it's because I'm tired. I've been in this position for six thousand years. This event has lasted too long, so long that even rocks would be worn out."

"Originally, I was planning to fake my death and get away to see what you guys would do after losing me, but the appearance of Li Pan and the Pokémon made me give up this idea."

"In the past year, you have done very well. When facing the phantom of Rota, Osel, Groudon and Kyogre, and Dialga, your performance exceeded my expectations. You have stood up and no longer need to be under my protection all the time. And it's time for me to take a rest."

Morax's words calmed the restless crowd. They looked at the Rock Dragon in front of them and remembered that six thousand years had passed.

After all, staying in one position for six thousand years and managing the huge Liyue in order is not an easy task.

For example, the Wind God of the neighboring country Mondstadt is simply a hands-off boss. He has never managed Mondstadt for a single day since he took office. The Thunder God of Inazuma is even more outrageous. He has turned Inazuma into that state. There are only a few islands in the first place, and most of them have some problems.

"People of Liyue, you don't have to worry. Although I have abdicated, I am still watching over you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rock Dragon flew back into the sky and dived into the clouds.

At the same time, a chess piece emitting a hazy yellow light fell from the sky and fell into Ningguang's hands.

"This is·……"

Ningguang looked at the chess piece in her hand hesitantly.

And at this moment, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

Chapter 287: Zhongli Knows the Whereabouts of the Gods

"This is the Heart of the Rock God, an organ used by the Seven Gods to convert elemental forces. It is also the symbol of the Seven Gods. I'll keep it with you for now. If someone from the Winter Solstice comes to ask for it in the future, you can give it to him in exchange for some favor. If no one comes to ask for it, you can decide for yourself what to do with it."

Morax spoke calmly, as if what Ningguang was holding was not the Heart of God at all, but a piece of stone that could be found everywhere.

But when she heard this, Ningguang's pupils shrank and she tightly grasped the Heart of God in her hand.

Although the Emperor's description was simple, even with this simple description, Ningguang could understand the importance of this thing.

Although I don't know why the Emperor gave this thing to the people of Zhidong, there must be a reason why the Emperor did so.

Looking at Ningguang's appearance, Zhongli slowly withdrew his gaze.

He understood that Ningguang already knew the importance of this thing. As for how much this thing could get out of the Zhidong Kingdom, that was not his concern.

Ningguang is an expert when it comes to business.

"Ah? The Rock God abdicated just like that? Then how are we going to find the Rock God?"

At this time, on the Yuejing Terrace, after hearing what Morax said, Paimon shouted in surprise.

The reason they came to Liyue this time was to find Morax and ask him if he knew the whereabouts of Sister Kong.

In their opinion, Morax should be the easiest god to find. After all, he appears in the annual ceremony to invite the gods. But now Morax has stepped down, which is a problem.

Kong didn't reply, but just looked at Li Pan, staring at him without saying a word.

stare--.

"Why are you looking at me like that? The Rock King is like a dragon that can't be found from head to tail. He can't even find the Seven Stars, let alone a shop owner like me."

Sora didn't answer, just kept staring at him.

stare--.

Finally, under Kong's sight, Li Pan was defeated.

"Okay, okay, but let me make it clear in advance. I will take you to find someone who can find him. Whether you can gain the approval of Emperor Yanwang and be received by him depends on you."

After hearing what Li Pan said, Kong finally showed an excited smile on his face.

"Thank you, Boss Li. I was right. You are a good person."
