Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Wu Ye clicked his tongue when he heard this. It seemed that both Wendy and Zhongli in the plot were hiding from the travelers.

"Ruotuo is really the Rock Dragon King? Then he shouldn't be the first generation dragon, right?"

Zhongli nodded.

"Then I also heard that before Dragon King Ruotuo was sealed, you had a fight with him in Tianqiu Valley. You seemed to be unable to defeat him." At the end of the sentence, Wu Ye's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Well, then I will tell you the answer based on Mond's temperament as an alcoholic poet."

Zhong Li said lightly with a smile on his lips.

"With the ability of Dragon King Ruotuo, even in my heyday it would be difficult for me to fight alone, let alone seal it."

Zhongli nodded, Wu Ye understood, he already knew the exact answer.

"In other words, the authority of the Rock Dragon King, the Heart of the Rock God, was taken back by you. Later, you signed a contract with the current Ice God on the condition of the Heart of God."

Zhongli raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky, looking at the island high in the sky. He turned his back to Wu Ye and said:

"Just now you asked whether the gods above are your enemies. I subconsciously thought you were talking about the abyss."

Wu Ye was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"The abyss is the way to the sky."

"The sky?! Isn't there the sky above us?"

Wu Ye raised a finger and asked. Zhongli didn't answer, just lowered his head and looked at his feet.

Wu Ye suddenly realized, and both parties were speechless.

After a long time, Zhongli faced Liyue Port, his eyes moving.

"Liyue was founded by me and the immortals. It has existed for more than three thousand years. Now the immortals have handed over Liyue to you humans."

He turned sideways and looked at the sea, standing proudly with his hands behind his back.

"Under the vast land of Liyue, there are countless demon gods sealed by me. Even here, many demon gods from the past have been suppressed."

"I ended an era with my own hands. I have been thinking about how to record the history...that I ended."

"History can be recorded, but history is not reliable because time has a strong power and history will distort over the years."

"This is the wear and tear caused by time. The more powerful the power, the greater the danger it brings after being worn away. After thousands of years of erosion, even rocks... will occasionally feel tired."

"In order to take the right path, people keep giving up and losing. Maybe this is the wear and tear imposed on me by nature."

Wu Ye still couldn't hold back and asked: "You have been here for more than six thousand years, you must know a lot of truths, right?"

Zhongli laughed dumbly: "Because you cannot be recorded by this world, so... forget it, I have already told you a lot. If I continue to say it, it will not be helpful to you, and it may even put you in trouble."

Then he sighed.

"Actually, I have a lot to say in my heart, and there are some things I want to do...but I signed a contract with a certain existence that was born before the beginning of everything."

"As the God of Contract, I, who abide by the contract, must never break this contract."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more serious, Wu Ye suddenly smiled and said: "Father-in-law, I think the previous name was unpleasant and I want to change it."

Zhongli rubbed his chin: "Well, tell me then, and then I will find an opportunity to entrust the dream to Qixing. It can be regarded as the... will left by Morax to them?"

"..."

Wu Ye didn't know how to answer, so he had to tell Zhongli the changed name quickly.

"Well, I suddenly remembered that the ceremony for inviting immortals is over, but the ceremony for sending immortals has not yet begun. Everything must be done from beginning to end. Do you have time recently?"

Wu Ye scratched his head and laughed: "How about I let Sora and Paimon accompany you? He just wants to find you, and I want to write the fourth book as soon as possible."

"Well, as far as the traveler is concerned, it's time to have a good talk with him."

It started to get dark.

"It's getting late, why don't we go back."

Zhongli shook his head: "No, you go back first. I want to stay here for a while."

Wu Ye had no choice but to walk back by himself, but within half a moment, he scratched his head and walked back.

"What's wrong?"

"Father-in-law... why don't you teleport me back to Liyue Port? I can't swim."

"Well, I was negligent."

Zhongli chuckled, and then passed the last of his divine power to Wu Ye.

Wu Ye's body was immediately filled with golden light, and endless power was squeezed into his body, but there was no pain at all. Instead, a thick and warm feeling spread throughout his body.

“Wuhu! So spicy!!!”

Wu Ye was so excited that he found that his bones became stronger and stronger, and a random punch was enchanted by the rock element.

"I feel like I can really hit a hundred Dadalia with one hand now."

"Wu Ye, don't be too happy too early. This is a limited power that will always be consumed. Unless you understand something in the process of digesting this divine power, the rock elements in this world can be used by you."

Zhong Li immediately poured cold water on Wu Ye, but then comforted him.

"Of course, there is no need to be discouraged. Your current body can withstand more attacks. Even a full blow from Osel in his heyday can still preserve the whole body."

"..."

Silence is today's theme.

Wu Ye suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

"You gave me your magical power, what will you do next?"

Zhong Li's face was calm: "It doesn't matter. The world seems to be unchanged, but... well, if one day I am gone, Liyue will have to be left to you and..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Wu Ye immediately made a stop gesture. He was a little annoyed, "How can you say such a thing? I don't like to hear this if you have to talk to others."

"You, old man, should enjoy your retirement life. If you don't have enough, come to me to get it. At least I will support you until... well, it's hard to say. Maybe you will still be alive when I send it."

"In short, let's leave things like saving the world to the travelers. After all, it's up to the people to do this."

Zhongli suddenly said: "I am not just a traveler, I am descended from heaven, and so are you."

……

Wu Ye fell into silence again for a short time, then he scratched his hair: "Forget it, I'll go back to Liyue Port first. Hutao should be looking for me everywhere. By the way, what should I do if I want to use my divine power to teleport back to Liyue Port? ?”

Zhongli replied: "Use your divine power, and within the territory of Liyue, your words will be fulfilled."

Wu Ye followed Zhong Li's instructions, activated the rock power in his body, and then uttered three words.

"Liyue Port."

A floating light appeared, and in the next moment, Wu Ye disappeared in front of Zhongli.

Zhongli stood there and said no more. The world was lonely, except for the rustling of the wind. Time seemed to turn into an invisible river, flowing quietly by his side...

A flash of light lasts a thousand years. Rocks have hearts, and so do the earth and gods.

……

In this whirlpool disaster, due to ample escape time, very few people were injured, but many buildings were damaged, especially the buildings near the pier, which were all flooded.

Wu Ye walked slowly in Liyue Port, and the speed of Liyue's infrastructure construction was once again evident. In less than half a day, many buildings damaged by the disaster were repaired by workers.

Crowds of people were coming and going on the street, and Liyue Port was back to being as lively as yesterday.

However, there were not many shouts from sellers, but more shouts from people running in the streets and alleys looking for their separated family members.

"Wu Ye?"

Wu Ye turned around and smiled brightly.

It's walnut.
