“Do you think it’s too early to retire?”

Most of the immortals had already left, and the three Inazuma visitors also followed Ping to Liyue Harbor. Apart from Minghai Qixia who originally lived here, the only ones left in Liyue Suburbs were Luo, Guizhong, Zhongli, and Ganyu, who Luo deliberately asked to stay.

"No." Zhongli shook his head and said, "Since I have handed Liyue over to them, I will believe that they can protect Liyue." Even the disaster predicted by Luo that swept across the entire Teyvat.

If it doesn’t work, we can resurrect the Rock King to provide a backup!

After Zhongli expressed his attitude, he looked at Luo and said, "Regarding Fushe... is it related to the Layered Rock Abyss that Guizhong reminded me of before?"

Yixiao Daotian and Minghai Qixia were arranged in Tianheng Mountain and Lishajiao respectively because of the reminder that Zhongli heard from Guizhong.

When Fushe disappeared, Zhongli, as the Rock King, knew that he was actually leading the Thousand Rock Army to the Layered Abyss to suppress the monsters that kept pouring out. After Zhongli returned from Kanreya, he learned that his first Yaksha was missing in the Layered Abyss, and he immediately went to the Layered Abyss to investigate the news.

but……

Zhongli did not have the heart to tell the only remaining Yaksha Xiao about Fushe's death, so he only informed the other immortals that Fushe was missing. Missing was better than being definitely dead, at least there was a slight chance of returning.

So when Luo mentioned just now that Xiao brought Aratake Ichito and Kuki Shinobu here because it was related to the prophecy of Fushe's resurrection, Zhongli immediately thought of the Chasm.

"Could the disaster be related to the Layered Abyss?"

Luo waved his hand and denied it: "They are not the same thing. Don't worry, I will help you bring Fushe back intact."

After saying this, Luo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "By the way, those Qianyan Army soldiers who died in the Layered Rock Abyss with Fushe were in special circumstances. I was able to resurrect them, and it didn't have much impact on me. In fact, not resurrecting them would be a burden to me. But..."

Luo hesitated to speak, Zhongli and Guizhong both knew that she didn't want to revive them, but she had some concerns. Because those soldiers were not like Fushe, who had brothers and sisters waiting for his return outside. Everything they were familiar with, their families, friends, and the Liyue Port where they lived, had been buried in history.

Is it really a good thing for them to be brought to a strange time five hundred years later?

Luo seemed a little conflicted because of this.

Zhongli was silent for a long time. Gui Zhong stared at his face for a long time before he made up his mind and said, "Bring them to the present Liyue. They sacrificed themselves for the future of Liyue. Now that we have this opportunity, we must let them see how beautiful Liyue has become under their protection."

"Besides, even if their relatives and friends have long passed away, their wives, brothers and sisters still carry on their bloodline. I think they would be very happy to see their descendants."

Ganyu nodded. She finally understood why Luo wanted her to stay. "When I return, I will immediately collect the names of the Thousand Rocks soldiers who died in the Layered Abyss."

"Okay, Ganyu, then you should go back now."

Luo also knew that Ganyu was very busy. If he asked her to come to the party this time, the secretary at Yue Haiting would probably be crying for help (not really).

Ganyu did not refuse and left quickly. Yuehaiting still had a lot of work to do.

"Zhongli, aren't you going back to Liyue Harbor? Will Hall Master Hu be worried?"

It was getting late and everyone had basically left. Gui Zhong was planning to take Luo away with him, but when he saw Zhong Li still sitting there drinking tea, he asked in confusion.

"Of course not. It's common for me to come home late, and so does Walnut."

Zhongli finished the tea in his cup and said with some emotion: "I recall that thousands of years ago, our banquet was also like this. Now... the only thing missing is Fushe."

"It is only now that I truly feel the truth of what you said, because that dreamlike sense of unreality is not something my current memory can support."

"Memories can be corrected, but emotions cannot. Although I only heard some of it vaguely from Buyer, our current experience is somewhat similar to the modification of the World Tree."

With my current experience, if I were faced with someone close to whose memory was tampered with by the World Tree, I would probably be able to discover it.

Zhongli thought so. Before this, perhaps because he was the Demon God... no, because he was Morax, he had a vague feeling that the World Tree had been tampered with, but those were things he was not familiar with. It could also be that he did not notice that the things he was familiar with were deleted by the World Tree. Now he felt a little comforted.

Gui Zhong tilted her head: "World Tree?" Obviously she didn't know anything about the World Tree.

Zhongli smiled but did not respond. He said this for Luo to hear, so it would be better for him not to know in the end.

Seeing that Zhongli didn't say anything, Guizhong was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. The world tree sounded very important, probably related to the law of nature. Since Zhongli didn't want to talk about it, then he couldn't listen.

"Hehe, since you are so worried, I will be merciful and accompany you! Come on! Tea is not so good, let's go to Sanwan Buguogang to drink some wine!"

Gui Zhong understood Zhongli's preferences best. He directly took Zhongli's hand and pulled him up from the chair, as if he wanted to take him out for fun.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"your treat!"

"Natural nature."

Luo looked at the interaction between the two demon gods, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

It's so good! (No)

"Eh? Luo, why don't you leave?"

Gui Zhong, who had been walking with Zhongli for some distance, suddenly found that his friend was not catching up, so he turned back and asked in confusion.

"You guys go ahead. I have something to discuss with those little Inazuma guys."

"Are you still coming?"

"It depends on the situation. No need to wait for me."

"Okay~"

Guizhong and Zhongli gradually went away, but suddenly, Guizhong discovered something was wrong.

"No, didn't they follow Ping? Ping is with Marcosius, so they must be going to Liyue Harbor, right? Why didn't Luo come with us?"

Blind student, you found the highlight!

Zhongli guessed: "Maybe he wants to go to the Layered Abyss first to see what's going on?"

Zhongli guessed the truth directly. Luo really wanted to go to the Layered Abyss. He originally wanted to go with Guizhong, but since Guizhong took the initiative to offer to take Zhongli out for a drink, Luo decided to go by himself.

Gui Zhong and Zhong Li both guessed what Luo was thinking. Gui Zhong complained, "This excuse is so bad that I didn't even realize it at first! Morax, did you think of it a long time ago but didn't tell me?"

Zhongli coughed lightly and said, "How could that be?"

The name of the demon god of the Great Mercy Tree King has not been announced yet? Here, I will assume that Nashida inherited the name of the demon god of the Great Mercy Tree King.
