Listening to the "young master's" complaints, Ye Xing was slightly stunned, and then felt angry and amused for him.

On second thought, it seems that all of Young Master's misfortunes, apart from the problem with the "Heart of God", were caused by himself...

Moreover, if he were to fight Andrius again, the current "Young Master" would be no match for the North Wind Wolf King, who was gradually regaining his soul and strength.

"Zhongli lied to you? It was you, Master, who lied to Zhongli and us!"

Paimon retorted righteously after hearing this.

"Don't waste your time, 'Sir'. If you want to chat, wait until I finish my business and then we can chat slowly."

Rosalin suppressed her inner irritation and suppressed the anger that was brewing in her body. She turned her head away so as not to look at Ye Xing's face and spoke impatiently.

"As promised... I have come to take your 'Heart of God', Morax."

Zhongli:……

"The "contract" has been fulfilled. As you asked, I will give you what was promised. "

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, he gently raised his right hand, and a golden "Heart of God" that looked like a chess piece slowly rose and floated in the air.

"Hmph, such a condescending tone..."

Zhongli's tone made the already unhappy "lady" even more unhappy.

"What? The Rock King is Zhongli?"

After Paimon figured out the relationship between the conversations between the few people, an expression of disbelief and shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"No, no, no... Although this matter is also shocking, but, but, but... Why did you give the "Heart of God" to the Fatui!?"

"You don't know, but back in Mondstadt, this executive officer called 'Madam' blatantly stole the Wind God's 'Heart of God'! We even had a huge battle with her for that!"

"As the Rock Prince, you actually gave it to a fool like her so easily!"

"It wasn't a gift, but a transaction based on a 'contract'. It was between me and the 'Ice Queen'."

Zhongli remained calm, and Paimon's question did not stir up any ripples in his heart.

"I don't understand your thoughts... I think the "Heart of God" is very important..."

Ying also frowned slightly at this time and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Yeah, and your fake death was outrageous! Everyone was holding a ceremony to welcome you, and suddenly, a dragon fell from the sky, and it died. Then Liyue Harbor was in chaos, and it almost brought about a disaster!"

"The traveler and I were both mistaken for assassins!"

"Haha... gathering the undercurrents surging beneath the surface, applying pressure to the limit, and then exploding. Isn't that exactly what he wants to see?"

"I just didn't expect that someone would appear in Liyue to cause trouble again, and it's the same person..."

Rosaline stared at the "Heart of God" in Zhongli's hand, revealing a triumphant smile and a vigilant look. From time to time, she glanced at Ye Xing who was silent beside her and gritted her teeth.

"Ah? What does this mean?" Paimon asked a soul-searching question.

"Let me explain it myself."

Zhongli lowered his eyes, waved his hands, and spoke.

"As you know, I have spent more than 6,000 years in the world, and it was 3,700 years ago that I established Liyue with the immortals."

"Even the stone that a whirlpool can't break will eventually wear away under the erosion of time. It's just that I keep convincing myself that the day when it wears away and cracks hasn't come yet."

"Until one rainy day, I was walking in the harbor and heard a merchant praise his subordinates: "You have completed your duties. Now, go and rest."

"At that time, I stood for a long time among the crowd, repeatedly asking myself: 'Have I fulfilled my duty...?'"

When Zhongli said this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Xing and Ying beside him, his eyes flickering.

"But when I started to consider whether I should step down from the throne... I realized that there were many reasons why I couldn't leave."

"The place that walks with the gods, Liyue, is it ready to enter the next era? I must create an opportunity to observe carefully before making a decision."

"That's why I planned this fake death, dragging the 'Young Master', the Immortal, and the Seven Stars of Liyue into chaos..."

"After losing the gods' protection, facing a crisis that could destroy Liyue's prosperity, different attitudes will produce different results..."

"I just didn't expect that in this situation where Liyue's survival was at stake, Lord Ye Xing would appear out of nowhere and protect Liyue from this disaster."

"The immortals, the Seven Stars, the common people, the travelers, and Ye Xing were not all within my expectations... but fortunately, they have been perfectly resolved..."

Zhongli nodded slightly, his tone calm and relaxed.

"We will not sit idly by while Liyue faces a crisis. All those with combat power will unite to resist the invasion."

"Even without me, the 'Maelstrom Demon' wouldn't be able to completely wreak havoc in Liyue, and the Seven Stars have their own countermeasures. I'm sure the Geo God is aware of Ningguang's determination. This is what you truly want to see."

Ye Xing, who had not spoken for a long time, said this, but immediately changed the subject and continued, looking at Zhongli's palm:

"Furthermore, Mr. Zhongli, may I borrow the Heart of God from you for a moment? I'll return it immediately. I've always been quite curious about this object."

Ye Xing made his request quite politely, looking at Zhongli in front of him with a questioning expression.

"You're dreaming! This 'Heart of God' now belongs to the 'Ice Queen' and should naturally be kept by me personally. Why do you want to see it? Are you trying to steal it away so blatantly?"

Before Zhongli could speak, the "lady" who had always been wary of Ye Xing had already started to confront him, recalling the trip to Mondstadt and was unwilling to let him touch the "Heart of God".

"Of course I won't take it away."

Ye Xing grinned and explained to everyone:

"Thanks to Ms. Rosaline, I've also come across Mondstadt's 'Heart of the Wind God.' Now that I've seen the similar 'Heart of the Rock God,' I'm curious and want to experience the difference between them."

"It's impossible."

Zhongli spoke in a deep voice, not being disturbed by the "lady" beside him.

"The Heart of God is still in my possession, so I can lend it to the heroes who helped Liyue."

Taking the item from Zhongli, Ye Xing looked at the bright, noble and rare "Heart of God" in front of him and observed it carefully.

Its appearance is like a 'rook' in chess, solid and mysterious, with clear edges and corners, and constantly flashing the golden light of the power of rock.

Feeling the heavy and solid aura permeating it, Ye Xing's heart suddenly moved slightly.

"Ding! Detecting the pure power of the Rock God, the Four Directions Magic Net - Orange Gold has been used successfully! Successfully copied the item - "Heart of the Rock God"!"
