Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"By the way, why did you give me the Heart of God?"

Elhesen didn't respond to that question. It was Little Lucky Grass King's decision, and he wouldn't go against it... he wouldn't!

"Once she comes into contact with the Heart of God, regardless of which element she belongs to, she will regain her power at the level of a demon god and gain the ability to enter the World Tree and see that remaining consciousness..."

"..."

Zhong Gui jumped off the desk and walked outside.

"I'll go and sort out the ley lines of Sumeru. After that, the Demon Scale Disease and the Dead Zone will be suppressed to the lowest level. The Demon Scale Disease patients will have their onset delayed by a few years and can almost live a normal life. As for the Dead Zone... I'll trouble the rangers to keep busy. This is all for the sake of the gods."

It wasn't until Zhong Gui's figure disappeared and more and more people came to deliver documents that Elhesen came back to his senses.

"Where were you just now?"

Grand Disciplinarian Seno stood behind Elhesen, holding a sand cane, looking as if he might kill Elhesen at the slightest provocation.

"What, why isn't our chief disciplinary officer arresting people, but instead keeping an eye on me?"

"You are one of the closest to the sages, I must keep an eye on you!"

Seno felt guilty for his past negligence. He had followed the sages' orders but failed to supervise them, which led to the Grass God's misfortune.

Regardless of whether he had that authority before, Sino felt it was his responsibility.

Therefore, he is now keeping a close eye on the acting sage in front of him to prevent a similar situation from happening again. Sages are also scholars and need to be supervised by disciplinary officials.

When Seno saw the Heart of God in Elhesen's hand, he sensed boundless power within it, a power that the Eye of God could not reach.

Although he already had a guess in mind, he still asked, "What is that?"

"I don't know either, it just suddenly appeared in my hand."

El-Hysen felt like he was in a daze, and he didn't know how he ended up with something in his hand.

As for what just happened? Did anything happen?

He knows nothing!

"Give that thing back to Lord Little Lucky Grass!"

“Yes, you’re right. We’ll return it to her next time we meet.” Elhesen nodded and then put the Heart of God away.

"Speaking of which, has Tinari arrived?"

"He didn't come. By the way, he heard about the changes in Sumeru City and asked me to tell you that he doesn't want to be a sage."

“I didn’t intend for him to be a sage, but rather a great sage.”

"A great sage? He's not that great."

Elhesen: "???"

"I mean him..."

Elhesen: "???"

What is he babbling to me about? Why does he seem like a completely different person?

……

Zhong Gui, dressed in the uniform of the Hall of Rebirth, stood on the platform in front of the Academy of Teachings, overlooking the entire city of Sumeru.

"What a harmonious city! It's a pity I still prefer Liyue Harbor."

"Are you leaving?"

Naxida stood beside Zhong Gui and asked.

The Grass God suddenly appeared, and many passing scholars bowed to him. Naxida greeted them one by one.

“You’re very popular, Nasita.”

"I'm still a long way from becoming a qualified god..."

"No."

Zhong Gui patted Naxida's little head. Compared to the other six gods, Naxida was much more responsible.

Even before my father-in-law threatened to retire, he only showed up once a year.

"Now you should know that I am neither a member of the Great Compassion Tree King's retinue nor a being from Mount Sumeru, right?"

“Well, but—” Nasita smiled, “but you are my first sage, and my first friend.”

"Then I would be honored."

Seeing that Zhong Gui did not deny it, Naxida smiled even more happily.

"Compared to you seniors, I still have a lot to learn. Can you stay and grow with me?"

Those bright, sparkling eyes made Zhong Gui's heart skip a beat, and he began to silently recite in his mind, "Hu Tao, Ning Guang, Ke Qing, Gan Yu, Shen He, Yun Jin, Xing Qiu..."

Zhong Gui turned his head away with difficulty, refusing to look at Naxida.

Nasita lowered her head in disappointment, "Is that so..."

……

A year later, at the border between Liyue and Sumeru, Zhong Gui climbed up the towering abyss of rocks.

This is Cinnabar Cliff, offering a great view overlooking the entire Teyvat Chrysanthemum.

He smelled the scent of his long-lost hometown!

"That sounds a lot like smelling someone's butt..."

Well, anyway, I've finally come back after spending more than a year in Sumeru.

Before entering Sumeru City, Zhong Gui spent more than three months exploring the desert and rainforest. After finally entering Sumeru City...

"I'm just too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted..."

After that, he accompanied his "daughter" to tour the desert and rainforest and inspect the local conditions, which took almost a year.

Honestly, those big, sparkling eyes are only meant to shine, not to shed tears!

Chapter 9 Zhong Gui: The System is Here!? (Seeking flowers and votes, free ones are fine)

"Master is finally back!"

Looking at the busy miners in this giant abyss of rock, Zhong Gui was filled with emotion.

He spent more than a year in Sumeru, traveling with Little Lucky Grass King through rainforests and deserts, making incognito visits everywhere.

Helping rainforest residents solve their problems and improving the lives of desert dwellers.

Clear the dead zone, cure the Demon Scale Disease, create an oasis in the desert...

Moreover, during this process, countless scholars followed the two of them, and their academic research in the grassroots area achieved great breakthroughs, resulting in a large number of technologies for people's livelihood.

In an instant, the reputation of Little Lucky Grass King reached its peak, no longer a castle in the air.

Al-Hysen did not become a great sage; he did not want to be one and only wanted to be a leisurely scribe.

Xumi selected new sages from a group of great scholars who were excellent in character, reputation and scholarship, although in Zhong Gui’s eyes these new sages were nothing special.

However, Zhong Gui did not make any reforms, because on the continent of Teyvat, in this realm of gods, the so-called balancing of the various parties and the establishment of an oversight department were not so important.

Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru... there isn't a single nation that isn't out of balance, but that doesn't matter, because the existence of the gods provides insurance for all of this.

Even the "famous" Salt Demon is not someone that ordinary people can easily mess with.

If there is any regret about Sumeru, it is that it could not save the Great Compassion Tree King.

Zhong Gui believed he was invincible in Teyvat; his cheat ability was incredibly powerful.

However, his cheat ability is essentially just a manifestation of past power; it doesn't offer any optimization or transcendence capabilities.

Zhong Gui traveled to Teyvat and obtained the Heart of God of the Seven Gods, the power (remnants) of many Daedric Lords, and countless Hearts of God.

However, all of this is based on the Teyvat power system.

In this system, the only thing that can save Sumeru is the eradication of the last remaining existence of the Great Compassion Tree King.

However, Zhong Gui's purpose was not to save Sumeru, but to save the Great Compassion Tree King.

Faced with the black calamity that resembled a "meme infection," Zhong Gui was unable to save the Great Tree King within the Teyvat power system.

Memory is the foundation of a person. If everything about her disappears, even Otto wouldn't be able to help her, right?

Maybe so. Zhong Gui didn't know what kind of ideas that guy could come up with.

Therefore, Zhong Gui only purified the earth veins once and suppressed things like the Dead Zone and the Demon Scale Disease.

All we need to do now is wait—

Zhong Gui firmly believed that he would become stronger, and that surpassing the laws of nature would not be difficult. As long as he saw enough things, he would be invincible.

If it weren't for the fact that Tianli only resorts to violent enforcement to deal with this thing, at most erasing it again and again like the Great Compassion Tree King, Zhong Gui would have already stormed Sky Island and woken Tianli up.

But it doesn't matter. I'll go home and rest for a while, and set off again when I have time. With the backing of the Quantum Sea and the Imaginary Tree, Zhong Gui felt that he would be able to create miracles sooner or later.

If only there were another way...

"Ding, the Multiverse Exchange Group is at your service. Welcome to join this group, Rock King Emperor... Emperor... Emperor... Who are you!?"
