Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"presumptuous!"

"Yuheng Star, how dare you!"

"Keqing!"

"..."

Ke's father, standing in the crowd in the distance, was paralyzed with fear. It was only his true friend, who had come with him, who reacted quickly and tore off his sleeve to put a mask on his brother, preventing him from being discovered and beaten to death.

"What are you doing, little girl? Isn't this cursing the Emperor to die... Pah, pah, pah, what am I saying? May the Emperor live a long and prosperous life!"

Everyone worries about their own child; this is his niece whom he watched grow up.

The scene was extremely chaotic, with some people even trying to fight, which Qianyan Army couldn't stop, or perhaps they didn't want to.

In short, Keqing, who cursed the Emperor, has incurred the wrath of the masses.

Keqing: "..."

Ke Qing felt that her career might not last long enough to clear her name, and that she might be assassinated by a master assassin one day.

Never underestimate the number of die-hard fans of the Emperor in Liyue; many of them are truly powerful.

If she hadn't known about the follow-up plan, she would have thought that the young lord was avenging the emperor and eliminating her, the one who had slandered the emperor.

"Quiet!" Zhong Gui's calm yet authoritative voice rang out, and everyone involuntarily fell silent, bringing the chaotic scene to a halt.

"Yuheng Star, do you have anything else to say? Stand up first."

Ke Qing stood up and looked up at the dragon's body in the sky.

"Your Majesty, can you stay in Liyue forever?" Keqing asked earnestly, tears welling in her eyes, like a child reluctant to leave her parents.

Zhong Gui: This isn't acting... let...

She truly hoped that the Geo Archon would rule Liyue forever. Her concern was always how long the Archon could rule, and what would happen if he left one day, rather than opposing his rule.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Keqing knew part of his and the old man's plans, and knew that neither of them wanted to interfere with Liyue anymore.

The thing she'd been waiting for was about to happen, but Keqing wasn't happy at all.

What she wanted was for the people of Liyue to have their own ideas, not for the Emperor to leave.

She wasn't acting; she genuinely asked the Emperor and Young Master if they could stay in Liyue forever.

Only genuine feelings can resonate with more people. The Liyue people present were no longer "punishing" Keqing, but instead all looked up at the dragon's body in the sky.

Like a child abandoned by their parents...

Chapter 87 After 3,700 years of nurturing, has this child grown up yet?

Something's wrong, something's really wrong!

Who are the people on the Jade Capital Platform now?

Those were all people who could be monsters in Liaozhai, all famous big merchants, and each one of them was a cunning old fox.

Something's not right with the Jade Balance Star today, and the Emperor is acting a bit strange too.

The Seven Stars have already begun implementing the divine decrees that the Emperor mentioned earlier, which clearly shows that the Seven Stars and the Emperor are still connected.

Yuheng Star is disrespectful to the Emperor, but there's no law against such disrespect. Cursing the Emperor to... you know? Impossible, right?

Everyone present was shrewd and had an excellent ability to read people. They noticed that Ke Qing's emotions were only genuine in the last sentence; the rest seemed a bit forced.

Wait, is the Emperor about to leave? Did he inform the Seven Stars beforehand and have them raise this issue?

No way!? No way!? No way!?

Don't say it's impossible. Everyone knows that of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat, only Liyue and Mondstadt are left with the first generation of gods. Moreover, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt has never appeared, only the gods of Liyue have always existed.

What about the first generation of gods in other countries? They died.

But that was because of an accidental death. Shouldn't gods be eternal?

In Liyue, where we walk with the gods, shouldn't this contract exist forever?

But it doesn't seem to be the case...

Thinking carefully about what Yuheng said, the immortals of Liyue are indeed leaving. So what about the Emperor? Is he leaving like the other first-generation gods? 283.

Five and a half of the seven rulers of the mortal realm have left. Will the Emperor remain forever?

Fear permeated everyone's hearts.

All the Liyue people looked up at the dragon's body in the sky, their expressions very similar to Keqing's...

Yujing Terrace was completely silent; even the foreigners dared not make a sound for fear of being killed by the enraged Liyue people.

In the pavilion of Yujingtai, Zhongli tapped the table casually, as if he were reminiscing about Mr. Yun's play.

Dragon King: "The acting was terrible, and the lines were really awkward."

Zhongli: "..."

Dragon King: "Stop knocking, be quiet."

Zhongli stopped, opened his eyes, and said, "One drizzly morning, I was strolling through Liyue Harbor when I heard a merchant praise his subordinate, saying: 'You have done your job well. Now, go and rest.'"

I stood for a long time in the bustling crowd. Had I completed my duty?

Zhongli looked at Zhonggui, who was at the same height as them, and said, "I originally wanted to devise a plan to test how Liyue would act if they lost their gods."

“Zhong Gui’s appearance has changed everything. Now he is the ‘Rock King Emperor,’ so let him arrange everything, whether it’s divine or human rule…”

Wendy: "So you've already achieved your goal, since it's Zhong Gui who's been busy, right?"

Zhongli raised an eyebrow, and Wendy fell silent.

Naxida smiled faintly. The current God of Sumeru is more like a scholar than a god, changing Sumeru through wisdom rather than ruling with divine power, as if Sumeru has always been like this.

Kage stared wide-eyed, somewhat bewildered. What path should Inazuma take? Oh well, she'd "ask" the Divine Child later.

Zhong Gui looked at the crowd below and sighed, "Sigh, will we stay in Liyue forever?"

The dragon head looked up at the sky, appearing quite melancholy.

The people below were becoming increasingly panicked.

Finally, Zhong Gui looked at everyone and asked, "Do you still remember the Liyue history book 'Wind and Rock' that appeared in Liyue in the past few years?"

"..."

"As times have changed, the seven gods have come and gone. Today, of the original seven gods, only two remain—me and the free and joyful wind god."

“I still remember when Barbatos first arrived in Liyue two thousand years ago. At that time, the war had not yet ended, so my first reaction was that this colleague had encountered difficulties in performing his duties and needed my help.”

"So before Barbatos even fell from the wind, I was already prepared to welcome this god from the neighboring country. I was just waiting for him to speak, and I would do everything in my power to help him."

At this point, many people in the audience began to sob quietly.

After the book was confirmed, the already friendly relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt became even closer. Many Liyue merchants went to Mondstadt to do business and also brought them a lot of affordable supplies.

Of course, this was partly due to Zhong Gui's deliberate actions, and also inseparable from the efforts of Ning Guang and Qin, the group leader.

Zhong Gui wanted to help his friend Wendy as much as he could, while Ningguang and Jean wanted a suitable ally.

The people of Liyue and Mondstadt all know that the two gods have a very good relationship and are rare friends.

But now, they have...

"Hehe, when the God of Wind descended, he handed me a bottle of wine."

"This is wine from Mondstadt, would you like to try some?"

"To abandon one's duties just to deliver a bottle of wine is utterly absurd..."

Is it absurd? The Liyue and Mondstadt people present didn't realize it; instead, they sensed a hint of joy in the tone of the voice.

"Even though I said that, the wind god still kept coming to visit, wandering around Liyue Harbor, and always asking all sorts of strange questions. This wind god's curiosity is as endless as the wine in his hand."

"Since then, the seven gods of that era have often gathered in Liyue. However, now... the world is constantly changing, and everything that was once familiar is gradually disappearing."

"The positions of the Seven Gods have changed hands time and again, of the seven at the banquet, five have passed away, and the wind has not come again..."

This is one of the biggest regrets for the residents of both the Land of Rock and the Land of Wind.

The Mondstadt people are even quite worried, because the book mentions that the last time the Anemo Archon appeared was when he was protecting Mondstadt with the Warden of the East, which was five hundred years ago.

Everyone knows what happened 500 years ago: the Black Plague that swept through Teyvat.

Five of the seven gods were replaced in that disaster, and they still haven't recovered.

Moreover, the Mondstadt people are worried that the Anemo Archon has also disappeared. Although they have never seen it before, they are truly concerned this time.

Even knowing that the Anemo Archon was still alive, he hadn't been to Liyue for so long, so his injuries must have been quite severe, right? In short, the Mondstadt people were afraid, afraid that they would wake up the next day to find out that the Anemo Archon had been replaced, and they lived in fear for several years.

"One day, I was strolling through Liyue Harbor when I overheard a merchant praising his subordinate: 'You have done your job well. Now, go and rest.'"

I stood for a long time in the bustling crowd. Had I completed my duty?

"Emperor..."

"Emperor..."

"Emperor..."
