Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

The book continues from the previous chapter.

Lu Changsheng and others gathered at Wanmin Hall to welcome Ying and Paimeng. Everyone was relaxed and having a great time at the banquet.

However, they fell into the conspiracy of the shadow without knowing it.

The Shadow Seed in the Jade Pavilion had grown to its full form, and Ningguang, who had stayed in the Jade Pavilion the longest, was also infected with the Shadow Seed without realizing it. One person spread the word to ten, ten spread the word to a hundred, and almost everyone at the banquet was infected by the Shadow Seed.

Fortunately, seeing that the banquet was actually developing in the direction of a music party, Zhongli noticed something was wrong and called a halt in time, and then Lu Changsheng developed a machine to separate the shadow seeds.

After being tortured by the Shadow Seed Separator, the several people infected on the scene successfully removed the Shadow Seeds in their bodies.

Moreover, the separated shadow seeds that absorbed negative emotions turned into pure nutrients after being broken, which gave the infected people a small boost in strength, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, these parties may prefer not to improve their abilities and not have to go through this unforgettable memory.

As shadow seeds that absorb negative emotions to grow, these shadow seeds implanted in individual individuals mainly absorb the negative emotions of the host. Therefore, after being separated by the shadow seed separator, the shadow seeds will turn into an appearance similar to the dark side of the host himself.

These dark side individuals know the secrets hidden deep in the host's heart, and naturally they also know the dark history that the host is most reluctant to mention.

But when he saw the dark side individuals surrounding him as soon as he came out, in order to retaliate against the unethical main body, they would keep telling the host's dark history as if they were talking nonsense, and no one could stop them.

Finally, with the agreement of all those present, a confidentiality agreement was signed. Under the witness of the Rock King, anyone who violated the agreement and leaked the secret would be punished by eating rock.

Because this contract was signed in Wanmin Hall, the content was kept completely confidential, and the signatories involved various forces in Liyue: immortals, gods, the Seven Stars of Liyue, merchants, civilians, alchemists, and outsiders.

Therefore, many people in later generations named this contract "Liyue People's Alliance".

Although many people have tried to find out the contents of the covenant, all those who participated in signing the covenant kept it strictly confidential and did not disclose any of the contents of the covenant.

In the underground base of Wangsheng Hall, people from all walks of life in Liyue gathered together and sat upright to participate in the meeting chaired by the God of Geo.

For an important meeting like this, Qun Yu Pavilion is undoubtedly the most suitable and ideal venue.

First of all, the Qun Yu Pavilion floats high in the sky and is out of reach of ordinary people, which avoids interruptions to the meeting.

Secondly, the immortals were far away from Liyue Harbor and lived in the mountains for a long time. They didn’t know much about Liyue. If they held a meeting in other places, they might get lost. However, they wouldn’t have such troubles in the Qunyu Pavilion. The Qunyu Pavilion, which floated high in the sky and could be seen as soon as they looked up, was a landmark building in Liyue. As long as the immortals looked up, there was no possibility that they would get lost.

Finally, the various detection and defense devices in the Qun Yu Pavilion can ensure the security and confidentiality of the meeting.

It's a pity that such an ideal place has now become a cesspool. How sad.

The Shadow Seed stretched its branches wantonly in a perspective that people could not see, absorbing the negative emotions of the people of Liyue below the Jade Pavilion.

The people of Liyue who had absorbed the negative emotions appeared friendly and harmonious, and the crime rate of the surrounding residents also dropped significantly. Previously, as the area closest to the Qun Yu Pavilion, this place had always been the target of Liyue's wealthy businessmen, so the security force was naturally not bad.

However, since a large number of miners lost their jobs after the abyss was blocked, petty theft is inevitable on such a busy street with many people coming and going.

But now this kind of petty theft has completely disappeared. People in this area would rather starve to death than become a thief.

Previously, Ningguang was affected by the Seed of Shadow. When she saw the reports from her subordinates, she thought it was due to her proper management and was happy about it for a long time.

But now that the seeds of shadow that lived in the sea of ​​​​the soul have been removed, Ningguang looked back and saw that the kindness and joy of the area covered by the Jade Pavilion were just like oil boiling in a raging fire and flowers blooming in profusion. The feast must end.

This seemingly prosperous scene is like the last glimmer of life of a wounded person before death; it looks like a cluster of flowers, but it foreshadows the arrival of the end when the flowers will wither.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it was not too late, so they still had a chance to save it.

The reason why they chose the Hall of Rebirth as the meeting place and called all the important figures of Liyue to come here was not only because the Jade Pavilion had been occupied by the Shadow Seed and became a pollution source, but more importantly, they wanted to check whether these important figures of Liyue were infected by the Shadow Seed.

The Seven Stars of Liyue, the immortals, except those who are no longer in Liyue and those who are sealed like the Ruta Dragon King, are all present.

After the banquet in the Wangsheng Hall, under strong protests, Lu Changsheng improved the Shadow Seed Separator and developed the second-generation Shadow Seed Separator. The main feature was to add a silencing device, which made the separated dark sides of the Shadow Seeds become mute.

This way, there is no need to worry about the person’s social disgrace being exposed.

Although his dark history was exposed, he also knew the dark history of many other people, except for a few special people, such as Zhongli, who was suppressed before his dark side came out, Ying, Paimeng and Lu Changsheng were not infected at all and thus escaped. Everyone else suffered social death.

But this also brought the important people of Liyue closer together. For example, Ying and Paimon, two new travelers to Liyue, were treated warmly and friendly for the sake of Lu Changsheng and Xiangling.

But after all, their relationship is not yet close enough to become old friends who know each other's dark history. Perhaps after spending more time with these two travelers, they may become good friends.

However, this accidental tragic experience quickly brought the young people present closer together.

Especially Miss Ganyu, the secretary who looks stern and a little cold. When Ying and Paimon see her, they will think of the little coconut sheep rolling down the mountain, and then they can't help wanting to laugh. In this case, Ganyu can't maintain her cold mode, so they can only repeatedly ask the two of them not to spread the story.

Through this repeated interaction, the relationship between the people naturally became closer.

Although this move by the Shadow side was insidious and cruel, it made Liyue's forces more united and powerful because of its timely discovery.

As foreign travelers, Ying and Paimon also attended the meeting at Zhongli's invitation.

In Zhongli's opinion, as an outsider like the Heavenly Emperor and the Shadow Emperor, although Ying's strength is not as good as the former two, her sealed power is not inferior to his. For Liyue, which is caught in the battle between light and shadow, every bit of the power of the outsiders must be strived for as much as possible, so that Liyue can have a greater chance of surviving in the future war.

Ying herself was a little hesitant about Zhongli's invitation. Is it really appropriate for her, an outsider, to attend such an important and private meeting? Ying herself did not want to join any faction. As a traveler, Ying always believed that she could help but not take sides.

But she never forgot that the purpose of her tour of the seven countries was to collect all the raw stones in Teyvat, unlock the power of all the original gods, and become the most benevolent Great Demon King of Fire!

But, if I refuse, will Zhongli's favorability decrease? ?

Just when Ying was hesitating, Lu Changsheng's words made her stop hesitating and choose to attend the meeting.

Lu Changsheng said to her: "As a traveler, you have already joined the game, and you will not refuse a friend's request."

"Besides, if you refuse, my 100 rough stones will be homeless."

As expected, facing the lovely rough stone, Ying couldn't say no at all.

Ying's eyes sparkled, she drooled as she counted the stones, and said, "Hey, I love helping homeless little cuties the most!"

“Please allow me to attend this meeting. I firmly believe that Liyue is my second home that I have never seen!”

dong dong dong.

In the past, the Hall of Rebirth, which was deserted even at noon, became lively at this time.

All the big shots in Liyue used their own methods to quietly go to the Hall of Rebirth. They either disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen and went there in the four-wheeled elemental vehicle bought by Mondstadt, or sent their men to hold events in other places in the Hall of Rebirth to attract people there.

It was even easier for the immortals. They cast a spell of invisibility and flew to the Hall of Rebirth.

In order to prevent the immortals who had lived in the mountains for a long time from finding the location of the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli also specially arranged for Ganyu, Yanfei and the four little ones of Liyue: Xiangling, Hutao, Xingqiu and Chongyun, to welcome the immortals.

This meeting was initiated by Liyue's god, Emperor Yanwang. No matter whether it was the immortals or the Seven Stars of Liyue, they did not dare to slack off and rushed here early.

In Liyue, it is a great honor to be personally invited by the Geo Emperor to attend a meeting in a dream. Ordinary wealthy businessmen and officials are not qualified to attend this meeting.

In the eyes of the Liyue bosses participating in the meeting, these young people attending this meeting are undoubtedly the future leaders of Liyue. With the support of Emperor Geo, they will have smooth sailing in the future whether in business or politics.

In this meeting, Ying met many new friends, and what made her even happier was that she unlocked many powerful immortal card pools. The powerful ones among these immortals are like Xiao, who can fight the demon god, and the weaker ones are like Xiaohong Jiyu Zhenjun, who is the housekeeper in the traveler's dust song pot, and the immortal Ayuan who looks like a small sparrow.

Although Yuan is not very powerful, as an immortal, he has his own unique skills. Whether it is the ability to travel through space, the ingenious carpentry skills, or the many treasures and drawings he has collected, they are all very precious.

For Ying today, with the Debt King Armor and unlocked the elemental powers of wind and rock, her strength has reached the level of a demon god's followers. Ordinary, weaker original god cards cannot bring a significant boost to her strength unless they are stacked in large quantities.

But the Debtor Armor can do more than just lend strength, it can also allow Ying to briefly master the unique skills of the Genshin Impact character card.

Just like Diona, the cat bartender at the Cat's Tail Tavern, as a bartender, she doesn't fight often, and her strength is relatively weak among many original gods. But after using Diona's character card, Ying can not only use Diona's hunting skills, but also obtain Diona's bartending skills blessed by the spring spirits - no matter what strange materials are used, she can make delicious wine.

In Mondstadt, in order to improve Wendy's favorability, Ying used Diona's character card to mix a lot of fine wine for Wendy. Of course, this was definitely done behind Diona's back.

Afterwards, feeling guilty, Ying went to ask Barbara for tips on how to make spicy dried fish, and while trying to win Barbara's favor, she gave Diona the carefully made spicy dried fish. Diona was so moved that she agreed to make Ying a cocktail that she had been longing for for a long time.

You know, when Ying went to the tavern before, the bartender always treated her as a minor and refused to provide her with alcoholic beverages. Now that she can taste the famous Diona Cat Special from Mondstadt, Ying naturally cannot miss it.

As a drink made for a friend, Diona naturally would not add strange ingredients like she did when she made wine for drunkards before, such as lizard tails, frog saliva, etc.

Even though it was just ordinary juice, milk, wine and mint, with Diona's skillful hands, she was able to mix a delicious glass of wine.

Fortunately, although Ying looks young, Brother Yu has traveled through many worlds and is considered an experienced senior, so he was not drunk by this glass of wine.

In addition, like Xiangling's character card, Ying can not only summon the mindless Guoba, but also master Xiangling's cooking skills. Although because of the lack of mind, the Guoba summoned by Ying is like a mentally retarded person, which always makes her angry, such as summoning Guoba to spit fire everywhere in the snowy mountains without lighting a fire, and Ying cannot make Xiangling's creative dishes.

But this is enough. Although it is only part of Xiangling’s cooking skills, it is enough to make Paimeng eat non-stop. What else does he want?

Therefore, in this meeting, many new card pools were unlocked, such as the card pool of Master Liuyunjiefeng, the card pool of Master Xieyuezhuyang, the card pool of Master Lishuidieshan, the card pool of Grandma Ping, the card pool of Xiao, and even the card pool of Uncle Tian. Ying, who unlocked many card pools, was undoubtedly the one who gained the most.

During the meeting, Yinguang was busy drooling over the new card pool and didn't listen to anything in the meeting.

On the contrary, Yuhengxing Keqing, who was sitting next to Ying, was holding a pen and looked so serious that she wanted to write down everything. The strong contrast between the two made people unable to help but look sideways.

Zhongli, who was sitting in the main seat, said: "Considering the symbolic significance of the Jade Pavilion in the hearts of the people of Liyue, destroying it directly may cause unrest among the people. So I decided to let the immortals seal the Jade Pavilion first."

"Announce to the public that Tianquan Star is going to expand the Qun Yu Pavilion and temporarily close it."

"At the same time, organize the Thousand Rocks Army to screen the personnel in Liyue Harbor. We must eliminate the hidden dangers of the Shadow Seed!"
