Genshin Impact: Tenri and His Eight Perfect Dragons

......

"Are you serious?" Zhongli's golden eyes were as sharp as swords, staring at Osel coldly.

"Morax!! If you don't believe me, just kill me!" When Osel heard that he was not believed, he struggled a few times, but when he saw that he could not break free, he shouted angrily.

"If you still want to suppress me under the sea, I would rather explode on the spot!"

"Besides, if you want to go to the so-called Dark Sea, I dare to assert that without the help of the Demon God in the Sea, you will not be able to find the entrance even if you spend ten or a hundred years!!"

"According to my senses when I broke free, there are only a few demons left in the sea that were defeated that year. If you need anything from me, you can't kill me! Morax!"

Osel turned his head and a foul smell came out of his nose.

He looked as if he was ready to die.

After all, the coordinates of the Dark Sea and the method of entry appeared inexplicably in the minds of all the losers in the Demon War.

A demon like Morax, who seized the throne in the conspiracy of the Demon War, should not have received such information.

"..."

Zhongli was silent, clenched his left palm, then released it, and a ball of light was grasped in his hand.

Osel turned his eyes to the giant head and caught a glimpse of the ball of light that suddenly appeared in Morax's hand. His pupils shrank.

"You, shouldn't have been stunned..."

“Recognize your situation, Osel,” Zhongli said calmly.

In the ball of light in his hand, there was a sleeping figure that looked like a three-headed sea dragon. From the demonic pressure emanating from it, one could sense that this was a sea monster that was about to break through to the demon level.

It also looks very similar to the sea dragon that Osel transformed using the power of water.

Ba Che?!

Osel: “!!”

"Morax, you are so despicable!

Osel felt that the figure sealed in the ball of light was clearly Bazhe, his last believer and follower a thousand years later.

Even though he was sealed under the abyss before, he could still feel the breath of Ba Che lingering near the seal from time to time.

His countless followers had long since scattered after the end of the Demon War. Over the years, only Bazhe has been trying to weaken the seal, enduring the uncomfortable rock elements of the Rock Kingdom and lurking near Liyue Harbor.

"If you want to kill me, come at me. What kind of god is it to threaten a monster that is not even a demon god?"

"......" (Zhongli exerted force with his fingertips, as if the ball of light would dissipate in the next moment)

"I'll lead the way!! Don't hurt her!!!"

"I will no longer believe in the morality and agreements spoken by the sea monsters..." Zhongli said lightly, his expression unchanged from beginning to end, revealing endless coldness. Everything in the sea made him feel disgusted and uncomfortable.

After learning from the tragic lessons of the Demon War, Zhongli wiped out all the sea monsters on every inch of land in Liyue.

Sea creatures are cunning, cold, slimy, and everywhere.

Given enough time, even rock can be eroded.

Any change that may affect Wang Ling's plan should be nipped in the bud.

What's more, it would be unwise to let the cunning sea beast lead the way without leaving any backup plan.

Everyone thinks that Emperor Yanwang is a stickler for tradition and won't make any changes.

But in fact, the current Morax is no longer the foolish war god who could break everything with one force in the early days of the Demon War. His original intention of guarding has never changed, but his methods have become sophisticated and unpredictable after years of ups and downs in the world.

"I won't ask you why you want to go to the Dark Sea, but what do you want me to do now, Morax!" Osel stopped struggling and spoke.

"After some time, I'll set you free after pulling the boat for a year."

"?"

"I promise you! If I rebel this year, I will... die in the abyss!"

Osel spoke quickly, fearing that Zhongli would go back on his word, and bit his tongue to spit out a trace of the demon's soul blood.

Without wasting any more time, Zhongli let go of Osel's hand as he looked at her in astonishment.

The giant rock hands holding Osel loosened simultaneously, and the former fell into the sea, causing a huge wave.

"The contract has been made. Anyone who breaks his word will be punished by being eaten by the rock."

He casually threw out a spherical mechanism made of space power, which flashed red light. The space power that could trap the Ancient Dragon King easily captured Osel and reunited him with Bache.

The creatures in the sea are not human, so this method is more straightforward.

......

The platform of Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Zhongli Keqing... is the Rock King Emperor?..."

No one who can be in the Qun Yu Pavilion is a fool.

No one would think that the guy who could suppress the demon god single-handedly would be just an ordinary employee of Liyue Wangsheng Hall passing by and possessing the Eye of the Rock Elemental God.

However, after Mr. Zhongli subdued the vortex demon Osel, he seemed to be communicating with him.

I saw a figure in the distance casually throwing the giant sea beast into the sea.

After a huge wave, the sea returned to calm.

"Is this...solved?" The commander of the Qianyan Army on the platform of the Qun Yu Pavilion was puzzled and muttered to himself in disbelief.

“Your Majesty…?…” Ningguang murmured, shaking her head in self-mockery as she thought of how she had tried many times to grasp the weaknesses of this Mr. Wangsheng Hall master and use this excellent chess piece for Liyue’s benefit.

Seeing that there was no surprise in the eyes of the immortals, there was even more helplessness in their expressions.

"Right... Fatui... huh?"

Ningguang quickly recovered and was about to order the Thousand Rocks Army to capture all the Fatui, but she found that all the Fatui were imprisoned in place by a golden light.

Every Fatui who added fuel to the fire in Liyue was now pinned down, unable to break free. The more they struggled, the more the golden light on their bodies sank inwards. Some of them even had their cheeks flushed red.

Ok?

Amidst everyone's doubts.

The tiny figure at the Liyue Port had slowly walked towards the Jade Pavilion without anyone noticing.

Pumice stones kept appearing at the feet of Emperor Rock King. It seemed to be moving very slowly, but the next moment they arrived directly in front of the Jade Pavilion.

The dark clouds that had covered the sky of Liyue had long since disappeared, and the sun was now visible through the clouds.

The figure of Emperor Rock King under the sun gives people a feeling that it is impossible to look directly at it.

He stood with his back to the light, like a god, in the void not far from the Qun Yu Pavilion, with his hands behind his back.

His eyes swept across the group of Fatui soldiers with an indifferent look. When he swept his eyes across the immortals, the Liyue people, and the travelers, his eyes softened a little.

"Meet the Rock King!"

"Greetings to the King of Rocks!"

"Emperor...Emperor!!!"

There was a lot of noise, and everyone showed Zhongli the highest courtesy of Liyue.

After all, most of the Qianyan Army in the Qun Yu Pavilion are ordinary people who do not have the Eye of God. It is a lucky thing for a person to be able to see the gods take action in his lifetime.

Zhongli stopped and the voices stopped.

After a moment's silence, Zhongli spoke slowly.

A calm, majestic, and orderly voice echoed throughout Liyue.

[Liyue is a great country that has been established for more than a thousand years and has never been interrupted in its inheritance. Everyone knows that Liyue is a country of contracts and a country of trade...]

[But, you Liyue people, as you know, Liyue was first the Rock Kingdom among the seven kingdoms of the mortal world, and then, everything else.]

[The ways of Liyue are all driven by the laws of nature! ]

【Everything has its roots and branches, and every matter has its beginning and end. If you know what comes first and what comes later, you will be close to the truth. The people of Liyue, do not forget this.】

[With today's incident, the Snow Country has violated the original contract between the seven countries...]

......

Zhongli's voice was serious and full of majesty, so that no one present, even the Solstice Soldiers, would have the thought of disobeying.

"The above is all. How to deal with this incident is up to Qixing to decide."

"From now on, if you encounter something you can't decide, report to me."

After saying that, Zhongli waved his hand and dispersed the power of the rock.

The light on the soldiers of the Fatui faded, and they fell to the ground in all directions, and were all subdued by the Thousand Rocks Army.

He waved his hand to the immortals, and they bowed and left.

He whispered a few words to Ningguang randomly and nodded.

Ningguang's eyes narrowed and she nodded in agreement. How could someone as smart as she be unable to understand what the Emperor meant?

Then he waved his hand and began to deploy the follow-up work.

Zhongli's figure disappeared in the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Ying, come with me." Before Zhongli's figure disappeared, Zhongli's words rang in Ying's ears.
