I live a slow life in Genshin Impact

After the laughter, there is emptiness and loneliness.

"In the past, in the Stone Abyss, did you hesitate?"

Ruota felt that the reunion between old friends should not be so silent, so he asked a casual question.

This was a psychological problem that he had had for a long time.

Facing such a crazy self, as your former best friend and comrade-in-arms, Morax, did you ever hesitate for a moment?

"Even rocks have hearts, let alone me."

Zhongli sighed softly.

"But I am the God of the Contract, and the God of the people of Liyue."

"I see."

Ruota nodded gently: "So, you didn't kill me, but just sealed me."

"With your ability, if you use all your strength, even I in my prime will find it difficult to resist alone, let alone seal you." Zhongli said modestly: "You are willing to be sealed"

"Well... After all, as one of the elders who witnessed the birth of Liyue Harbor, even if I am no longer the same as before, I still want to abide by this contract in my own way."

Ruota smiled and said, "After all, I am a close friend of the God of Contract."

"..."

There was a long silence.

All kinds of complicated emotions are intertwined and surging in my heart like waves.

Zhongli didn't know what to say for a moment.

Especially now is the moment of parting.

"Thank you, Rudo."

The aura on Ruota's body was becoming weaker and weaker, and the white smoke emitted was becoming less and less, like a stick of incense that was about to burn out.

"It's finally time."

Ruota once again looked at the distant hills with nostalgia.

"Goodbye, Morax. If we are destined to meet again, we will definitely meet again somewhere in the future."

After leaving these last words, Kunjun's body suddenly fell backwards as if he had lost all his strength.

Feng Luo stepped forward in time and prevented him from falling to the ground and hitting his head and getting a big bump.

"The one who fell down now is the real Kunjun, right?"

Paimon came up with a concerned look on his face.

"Is he okay?"

"Don't worry, he's just asleep, and everything will be fine when he wakes up."

Zhongli closed his eyes, and all the sorrow in his heart was instantly wiped away at this moment.

Just like leaves blown down from a tree by the wind, after spinning a few times, they float away along the water flow.

However, what happened today has been completely engraved in his heart.

Sometimes having a good memory is not necessarily a good thing...

Because there are so many painful things that I don’t want to think about anymore, countless reunions will always turn into separations in the end, and they will be engraved in my heart forever like marks on a stone.

"Um...what happened to Xiaokun?"

Old Dai's voice came from behind, and he looked at Kunjun who was held in Feng Luo's arms with some surprise.

"You were fine just now, why did you faint?"

"He was too tired, so he fell asleep. Are you going to leave now?"

Feng Luo asked.

"Yes, it's almost time now. We should return to Liyue Harbor. There, our injured brothers can get a good rest."

Old Dai answered, and Feng Luo immediately pushed Kunjun to him: "In that case, then you can take him back with you."

"That's no problem, but won't you guys go back with us?"

"We have some other things to deal with, so we won't be going back yet."

"Okay, thank you all so much for this time. Here is the reward for this time. I'll give it to you first."

Old Dai took out a bulging bag, and Paimeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's Mora! Lots and lots of Mora!"

"There are also some rough stones. These are beautiful stones we usually pick up on the road. I heard that you like this very much. Please don't hesitate to do so."

"Raw stone!"

Ying's eyes also lit up.

"If you have any problems in Liyue Harbor, you can always contact our Chamber of Commerce. We will also give you discounts on the ore you sell!"

"Hehe~ You're so polite!"

Paimeng rubbed his hands together and watched Ying take over the full generation reward.

"There's no need to be polite. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what I would do. Nothing is more important than the lives of my brothers!"

Old Dai patted Feng Luo on the shoulder with great pride and said, "Then we will go back first."

"it is good!"

After saying goodbye to Lao Dai, everyone turned around and looked at the lonely figure standing under the tree.

Zhongli's back now looks a bit desolate.

"Zhongli, you..."

Paimon stepped forward cautiously.

"A thousand years ago, Ruotu suddenly attacked the Rocky Abyss. I fought with him all the way from the Abyss to here, and finally defeated him and sealed him underground."

Zhongli turned his back to the crowd and suddenly began to talk.

My thoughts seemed to go back to that day.

These few short sentences can be said in less than 10 seconds.

But everyone felt the cruelty of the battle and the pain and entanglement in Zhongli's heart.

"The Dragon Suppression Stone originated from that great battle. He has the most instinctive perception of the Dragon Suppression Stone, so he wants to use it to find me."

"At the end of that battle, although I defeated him, it was not because he was inferior to me, but because he voluntarily allowed himself to be sealed."

"Because he still has me in his heart, and he still has feelings for Liyue and all life on earth."

"But...all these feelings have now disappeared with wear and tear."

"That's why he became so crazy... The power of wear and tear is too terrible."

Ying suddenly realized something while sighing, and looked at Zhongli abruptly: "Mr. Zhongli, are you, are you also worn out?"

"Well, everything in the world is bound to wear out, and I can't escape it either. It's just that I understand one thing better than others: when it's time to leave, leave."

"The greater the force, the greater the danger of wear and tear. Even rocks will occasionally feel tired after thousands of years of erosion."

"So, this is why you resigned from your position as Rock God?"

Feng Luo suddenly understood.

It turns out it’s not for laziness!

We have wronged you before, Mr. Zhongli!

"Well, sealing an old friend with my own hands is also one of the wear and tear I've experienced."

“In order to pursue the right path, people keep giving up and losing. Perhaps this is the wear and tear that the law of nature imposes on me.”

"But, I am the god of mankind. No matter how my identity changes, I will use these eyes to witness the history of mankind."

"You really do care about Liyue..."

Paimon said quietly.

"It's just my job."

Zhongli was indifferent.

"Thank you for this time."

"You're welcome! Oh, by the way! We want to ask you something!"

Paimon suddenly remembered what had happened before and quickly reminded Ying with his eyes.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Zhongli was puzzled.

"It's about my brother."

Ying looked at Paimon and motioned for her to speak first.

"Let me say it again!"

Paimon stamped his feet in anger, but still spoke helplessly: "It's like this, not long ago, we met a man named Dain..."
