Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

(The coffins in Wangsheng Hall are a big hit. Hu Tao thanks everyone for their support.)

At the lively coffin selling scene, Lu Changsheng in immortal mode flew away amid the cheers of the crowd, and Lu Changsheng in mortal mode squeezed in from the crowd to help Hu Tao.

Hu Tao and Zhongli were amazed by what they saw. It was clearly the same face before and after, even the clothes didn't change, but the temperament was different. The onlookers couldn't recognize him. It was really magical.

After the immortal left, the force that restrained everyone from crowding dissipated. Fortunately, many Thousand Rock Army troops came to support and maintain order, so the scene did not become chaotic.

Just when several people were vying for the first place, a bald man stood up.

"Don't compete with me."

"Why?"

"Yes, why?"

The bald man said happily: "Master Hu can testify for me. Before the immortal came, Master Hu and I made an agreement."

"As long as Hall Master Hu can invite the immortal, I will buy ten coffins even if they are for sale."

"Master Hu, can I fulfill my promise now?"

Master Hu said, "Of course."

The people in line behind him were dissatisfied, but they couldn't find a reason to refute, so they could only say sarcastically: "Hey, how many people are there in your family? Can you use so many coffins?"

Unexpectedly, the bald man did not indulge him at all, and retorted: "What do you care how I use it? I keep it for collection and pass it on to my son and daughter, can't I?"

"It's none of your business even if I sell it at a high price."

"If you come to buy my second-hand coffin in the future, I will sell it to you ten times the price."

Hu Tao looked at the long queue and for the first time worried that the Wangsheng Hall might not have enough coffins in stock, so she said to the people in line at the right time: "Everyone, because the Wangsheng Hall has too few coffins in stock, we are limiting the purchase now. Each person can only buy one coffin."

Lu Changsheng, who helped record the money collected and the coffins sold, did not forget to promote while recording: "Coffins, coffins, promotion and wealth, holding the same coffin as the immortals, even if you give it to others, it is also a face-saving thing."

"Let me tell you a secret. The coffins in our Wangsheng Hall are very comfortable to sleep in. The natural fragrance of the wood inside can even cure insomnia. And after the careful design by the master carpenter, there is no need to worry about ventilation problems or being sealed and unable to get out."

As Lu Changsheng expected, these secrets soon spread throughout Liyue and became widely known secrets.

Liyue coffins were extremely popular, and for a time the business of the Hall of Rebirth was booming to an unimaginable degree.

If Walnut hadn't insisted on leaving enough coffins for those who really needed them, the Wangsheng Hall would have made even more money.

In the setting sun, Hu Tao walked on the street with her hands behind her back, hopping from side to side. Lu Changsheng followed beside her, resting his head on his hands and looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance.

"Hu Tao, is it time to say goodbye again?"

"Ha, what are you talking about? Night is the time for this hall master to be active. The really exciting activities haven't started yet, so don't think about slipping away."

Hu Tao stopped and looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Changsheng, thank you for this time. I, Sister Tao, owe you one."

"I'll give you 30% of the profits this time. Don't think it's too little. Although I'm the hall master, I can only control 50% of the profits. The remaining 20% ​​has to support the operation of the Wangsheng Hall."

Lu Changsheng quickly refused: "Hu Tao, didn't we agree to help you for free this time? I can't take this Mora!"

Hu Tao looked into Lu Changsheng's eyes seriously. He could even see his own shadow in Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes.

"Xiao Lu, I, your sister Tao, am not short of money. Although Zhongli is a spendthrift, as long as we sell the things he bought to people who know the value of the things, we can still make a lot of money, which is enough to fill the funding gap of Wangsheng Hall."

“Although I am busy door-to-door every day selling the business of the Hall of the Dead, it seems that I am short of money, but in fact my original purpose is to let everyone have a correct understanding and acceptance of death.”

"This process is inevitable. Everyone has to go through it. Even gods will die one day, let alone us mortals whose lifespan is less than a hundred years."

"So, Xiao Lu, I hope that through my efforts, everyone will no longer fear or avoid death, but will be able to accept it with a peaceful mind and grace."

Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Hu Tao, this may be difficult."

"Survival is the instinct of every living thing. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will always struggle to survive. The fear of death is not so easy to face."

"To be honest, before I met the Immortal Master, I was also very desperate because I didn't want to die."

The moon emerged from the dark clouds, and moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

Hu Tao and Lu Changsheng were discussing and forgot the passage of time. When they realized what was happening, the pedestrians on the street had already dispersed and the lanterns hanging on both sides of the road had been lit up by the Qianyan Army.

Walnut: "It is because of death that we know the value of life."

"I won't force others to be like me, just as I once tried hard to find my lost relatives."

"Don't think I'm being so carefree now. I cried for a long time when my grandfather passed away."

Although Hu Tao had a faint smile on her face when she said this, Lu Changsheng always felt that there seemed to be an unrelieved sadness hidden beneath this smile.

Looking at Hu Tao dancing in the moonlight like an elf fallen into the mortal world, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.

Hu Tao's attitude towards death means that if one day she needs to sacrifice herself to save others, save Liyue, and save Teyvat, she will leave without hesitation, leaving those who love her to live in this world.

Even though he had learned the immortal arts, Lu Changsheng was still worried that Hu Tao would refuse his attempt to resurrect her.

Is it true that all encounters will eventually lead to separation?

Lu Changsheng felt a piercing pain in his heart. Since he couldn't even change the immortal arts, what was the point of learning them? It would be better for him to die soon and avoid all these troubles.

Only then did Lu Changsheng realize that the seemingly omnipotent immortal also had his own troubles.

……

Rice wife.

Inside the Fatui's underground experimental base.

Muzan suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to be half-dead.

Tonight, this guy named Doctor will leave here, and then he will be able to escape. He wants to escape to a safe place, even if he has to leave Inazuma, rather than see this scary guy again.

I heard that there are many forests on Xumi's side. If you hide in the forest, you will not only have food to eat, but you won't have to worry about being exposed to the sun. It's simply the paradise in Muzan's dreams.

The doctor injected the Ghost King potion into Muzan's body according to Lu Ming's instructions. Although he is still afraid of sunlight and cannot increase his strength by eating humans, the elemental force can also hurt ghosts.

But there are some aspects that have been greatly enhanced compared to the original.

For example, Muzan’s survivability is stronger than the original version. Every drop of blood can turn into a clone. As long as there is one clone alive, Muzan can transfer the soul to the main body.

This ability to clone oneself, combined with the ghost's extremely strong ability to transform its flesh and blood, allows it to easily blend into various parts of the world.

In this way, it would be impossible to truly kill Muzan unless all of them were killed.

Of course, Muzan still has weaknesses. If his soul is destroyed before it can be transferred or is sealed in a body and cannot be transferred, it would be easy for him to die.

In the laboratory, the doctor was studying Muzan's cell slices, and couldn't help but marvel at it as he watched it turn into a young male under Muzan's control.

Although Muzan lied that using this ability was very physically demanding and had strong side effects, he still couldn't fool the doctor.

This ability is very similar to his slicing, which the doctor finds very interesting.

Although I don't know why Lord Lu Ming asked me to create you and then let me spare your life, it doesn't matter. After all, you are just a weakling with some fancy abilities.

Perhaps Muzan’s ability is troublesome even for Thor, but it is not difficult for the Doctor.

This doesn't mean that the Doctor is stronger than Thor. If he could beat Thor, the position of the Ice God of Winter should have been replaced long ago.

The reason why Thor finds it difficult to deal with Muzan is that he has to consider the lives of his people, while in the doctor's eyes, everyone is an experiment in his pursuit of the truth, and life is measurable to him.

Moreover, the doctor's slices are similar to Muzan's clone ability, and he can discover and find the soul of Muzan's main body. In other words, the doctor has restraint and special attack on Muzan.

And if Thor also has research on the soul, perhaps he can find out the difference between Muzan's clone and innocent civilians. This is also a solution.

Before walking out of the office, the doctor took a deep look at Muzan who was soaked in the green potion jar, then turned and left without any reluctance.

This guy won't be able to research anything in a short period of time, and he has more important research to do, so let this monster stir up trouble for Inazuma, so that he will have a better chance of obtaining the Heart of the Thunder God.

Looking at the doctor's departing figure, Muzan suppressed his inner excitement and waited for a long time without seeing any sudden counterattack from the doctor, so he quietly took action.

The doctor has left, and there is no one in the entire Fatui camp who can match Muzan. Logically, Muzan should have killed all the Fatui indiscriminately and then blended into the Fatui.

But this is Teyvat after all, where real gods exist, and there are countless powerful people hiding in the dark, so Muzan doesn't dare to jump. And the most important thing is that Muzan no longer has the ability to increase his strength by eating people, and he has no grudge against the Fatui soldiers.

When the Fatui were recruiting new members, it was Muzan who took the initiative to sign up. And the Fatui soldier who recruited him felt sorry for him and gave up his lunch so that Muzan could have one last full meal before he died.

So Muzan just quietly broke the glass of the laboratory, exploding his flesh and blood into countless small pieces, and took advantage of the chaos created when the Fatui who were attracted to check out the laboratory explosion came in, turning them into small animals such as mosquitoes, flies, mice, earthworms, and cockroaches, which fled in all directions.

The ghost king Muzan was finally released.
