Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Although Zhongli looked young, he had an extraordinary bearing. When he walked, sat or lay down, he gave people a feeling of the heaviness of a rock and the pricelessness of gold and jade. Moreover, he was the most knowledgeable guest official in the Wangsheng Hall, so they were all convinced by his explanation.

"During the ancient war between demons, the Rock King led a group of immortals to fight against the demons, and a large number of demons died. However, even though the centipede is dead, it is still alive. After the demons died, the remaining resentment of the demons turned into disasters and evil spirits, disturbing the peace of Liyue."

"Among them, the resentment of the demon gods turned into a plague and spread among ordinary people. Many people were killed by the plague. However, what was even more terrifying was the horrible infectiousness of the plague. Later, someone discovered a way to stop the spread of the plague: purifying the air and burning corpses. The first group of people who started doing this were the founders of the "Wangsheng Hall."

"Many years later, the plague was finally eradicated. Similar incidents have been handled many times by the "Wangsheng Hall" in history, and the final result is that life and death in Liyue have returned to a certain balance. "

Xingqiu exclaimed, "I didn't know there was such a story in the Hall of Rebirth. This is really eye-opening!"

Zhongli: “That’s why, in addition to being responsible for Liyue’s funeral industry, the Wangsheng Hall also has to guard the [Border between Life and Death] and prevent people from the two worlds from traveling to each other.”

"The living cannot disturb the rest of the dead, and the dead cannot disturb the peace of the living. This is the rule set by heaven, and no one can violate it."

Hu Tao took over Zhongli's words with a bitter face and continued, "Is it because the leak of the location of the border between life and death is of great importance that I am so anxious?"

As he spoke, Hu Tao shrank his head and looked at Ye Lan, saying, "Otherwise I wouldn't have gone to Qixing for help."

“If the boundary between life and death is destroyed and the ghosts of the underworld escape, Liyue will be in big trouble.”

"I, the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, will be laughed at. I won't be able to face my grandfather in the underworld then."

Hu Tao grabbed Zhongli's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Zhongli, Zhongli, can you help me~~, can you help me~~"

Zhongli sighed helplessly, thinking: "I really can't handle this kid."

Zhongli said: "There is no need to do this, Hall Master. As a guest of the Wangsheng Hall and a member of Liyue, I will naturally not back down at this critical moment."

"Zhong will certainly help you in every possible way."

(A golden light flashed across Zhongli's dark and deep eyes: "The boundary between life and death cannot be damaged. This is the foundation of Liyue! Could it be that I have kept a low profile for too long, causing everyone to forget the reputation of the God of War?")

It is the so-called pure yang energy, the unity of yin and yang.

Every country has its own place of resting place for the souls. For example, the souls of Mondstadt people will be taken back to Mondstadt by the wind god Barbatos to rest after their death. On the other side of the life and death boundary of Hopeless Slope is the resting place of Liyue’s lost people.

Now it's like someone is going to dig up the graves of your ancestors, and even the graves of your descendants as well. No wonder Zhongli, who was planning to retire, is also ready to pick up the rock gun.

The boundary between life and death is destroyed, and the souls of Liyue have no place to go, which will disrupt the normal life of the people of Liyue. The coexistence of humans and ghosts is absolutely forbidden by the law of nature. If we ignore it and cause the wrath of heaven and the resentment of people, and the maintainer of the law of nature drops another nail, then those immortals and ordinary people who gave their lives to protect Liyue will be angry and come back to life.

Ye Lan looked at the chaotic meeting, sighed, and slapped the table heavily to get everyone to quiet down.

Ye Lan: "After discussing for so long, it's time for us to take action."

"The sooner this crisis is resolved, the less damage Liyue will suffer."

Hu Tao stood up with a bang: "What are we waiting for? Let's act quickly!"

"Zhongli, Changsheng, let's go!"

Ye Lan raised her voice to stop Hu Tao's hasty and completely unplanned actions.

"Master Hu, based on the information we have, we are still unsure of the enemy's strength, so we must make a careful plan before taking action and not act impulsively."

Hu Tao was surprised: "Ah!? Isn't Zhongli here? What are you worried about?"

Since Hu Tao's grandfather passed away, Zhongli has taken on the responsibility of being Hu Tao's elder. Although Hu Tao seems to want to call this spendthrift guest "Lao Deng" all day long, she still trusts and relies on Zhongli in her heart.

In Hu Tao's impression, Zhong Li always looked calm and composed, as if nothing could stump him. In addition, as they spent more time together, Hu Tao also vaguely felt that Zhong Li's identity was not simple.

Hu Tao remembered that when her grandfather was alive, he was very respectful to Zhong Li in formal occasions, not at all like treating a young junior. In addition, over the past decade, Hu Tao has grown from a cute little kid to a beautiful young lady, but Zhong Li has remained the same, without even a wrinkle on his face. It can't be that Zhong Li is particularly good at maintaining his appearance.

With such a reliable guest here, and the fact that she and her friends are also very capable, what is there to worry about?

But Ye Lan didn't know.

As a subordinate of Tianquan Xing Ningguang, Ye Lan gained a high degree of freedom with her outstanding abilities. She could even choose to do any task given to her by Tianquan Xing.

But just as she was monitoring the Fatui in Liyue and fighting with the Fatui's executive officer, Rich Man, Yuhengxing issued an order to transfer her over to resolve the crisis that might endanger Liyue.

As an experienced and capable spy, Ye Lan had naturally investigated the identities of these people in advance.

When I looked at the information, I got a huge headache.

It is like a puddle of mud when gathered together and a sky full of stars when scattered.

This time the enemy actually dared to do such a bold thing, their strength must be extremely powerful. Ye Lan dare not let these people act separately, what if they are defeated one by one by the enemy.

Moreover, the identities of these people are not simple. If they are captured by the enemy and taken hostage, do you think Ye Lan should save them or not?

Therefore, Ye Lan felt that the troops must not be divided, and it was necessary to ensure that this temporary team always maintained the highest combat power state to be safer.

Ye Lan said: "This time the enemy's strength is unknown, the number of enemies is unknown, and the enemy's purpose is unknown."

"We must act quickly, but we must not rush into the enemy's spider web like a headless fly."

"We must first select a commander from among the people present. I am not familiar with the affairs of the Death Frontier, and Master Hu's eccentric personality is not suitable, so the only suitable person here is—"

Lu Changsheng was a little expectant. Could it be that Ye Lan could see through his noble soul and powerful strength hidden beneath his handsome appearance?

Ye Lan: "The most suitable person to be the commander here is Mr. Zhongli."

"support!"

"support!"

"..."

Hu Tao looked at the dazed Lu Changsheng, walked up to him and gently kicked him with her toes: "Xiao Lu, you are voting for Zhongli, why are you standing there?"

Lu Changsheng was discouraged and raised his hands weakly: "I support it. Mr. Zhongli is the most suitable."

Although Zhongli had planned to investigate ahead of the others and eliminate the danger, he thought that the enemy's origins were mysterious and he should be cautious, so he accepted the position.

Zhongli: "Since everyone trusts me so much, I will take on this position."

Tapping.

Just then, the sound of hurried running was heard, followed by one of Ye Lan's men wearing Qianyan Army uniforms knocking on the door anxiously.

Ye Lan strode forward and opened the door. He looked at his men outside and said, "Come in quickly. What's the important matter?"

Ye Lan's subordinates: "Report, report to Lord Ye Lan, Mr. Bai Shu of Bubulu reported to the Qianyan Army that two hours ago, a robber dressed in Taoist clothes kidnapped Qi Qi in front of him."

Ye Lan: "What!? Qiqi was kidnapped!!!"

Walnut: "What!? Qiqi was kidnapped!!!"

……

walnut:"……"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hu Tao said angrily, "Why are you all looking at me? You don't think I hired someone to kidnap Qiqi, do you?!"

Lu Changsheng and others shook their heads repeatedly: "No, absolutely not."

But Hu Tao always felt that the eyes they looked at her were full of suspicion. Fortunately, Ye Lan's men came to report the news and explained it to Hu Tao.

Ye Lan's subordinate said, "When Doctor Bai Zhu reported the case, he said that the suspicion of Master Hu Tao could be ruled out for the time being."

"Doctor Bai Shu said: Hall Master Hu never used other people's backs when he used the sack to trap Qiqi, and this robber was extremely powerful, and used methods similar to those of a Taoist priest. Just a talisman trapped Doctor Bai Shu and the people in Bubulu for two hours."

"It was only after the patients who came to see the doctor found something wrong and reported it to the Qianyan Army that Doctor Baishu and his men were saved."

Walnut said angrily: "See, I told you it wasn't me. And I haven't acted alone since I returned to the Hall of Rebirth last night."

"But this damn guy actually dared to steal my Qiqi. I must dig a hole and bury him, so that he will know how powerful I am."

Ye Lan frowned and said, "Not good!"

"According to the internal investigation data of Liyue, although Qiqi is a zombie, his identity is very complicated and his strength is also extremely strong."

Walnut asked: "Isn't Qiqi just a cute little zombie? What's so special about being silly?"

Ye Lan said solemnly: "Qi Qi is actually also an immortal!"

Walnut: "What! Qiqi is an immortal!!!"

Others: "What! Even the immortals were kidnapped by the enemy!!!"

Ye Lan explained: "In the records of Liyue, although there is no record of Qiqi's origin and how she became an immortal, it does record her immortal title: True Lord of Rescue and Deliverance, and Boy Who Resurrects the Dead."

“These contents have long been confirmed to be true.”

Xingqiu: "The little girl on the roadside is actually an immortal, the kind old lady is actually an immortal, and even the deer and cranes I meet in the wilderness could be immortals. This reality is more exciting than the novels I wrote!"

Lu Changsheng: "We saw the Taoist Sun the other day, and he can control zombies. Qiqi is both a zombie and an immortal, and his strength is very strong. No wonder he targeted Qiqi."
