Mr. Zhongli, we can't slack off anymore!

The four demons simultaneously charged towards the traveler's location, attempting to break through the shield and devour the three people on the floating platform.

boom--

As the impenetrable body crashed into the rock wall, the traveler released the rock element within him to strengthen the shield's defense.

The Devouring Rock Insect Demon failed to break through the last layer of defense.

The traveler breathed a sigh of relief when the four demons burrowed back into the ground.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his back felt cold. Fortunately, the traveler strengthened his defenses at the last moment; it was truly a close call.

"It's probably true. To fight a demon god all by herself, I think Miss Lü Ren has the strength of a demon god."

Unlike the travelers who were filled with fear and anxiety, Ningguang seemed to have anticipated that the demon god's attack would not pose a threat to them.

She trusted the traveler even more than the traveler himself.

"Miss Ningguang, you flatter me. That was just an extreme defense. Look at all this sweat." The traveler wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Ningguang handed the traveler a handkerchief that looked expensive.

"Oh, thank you." My sleeves were covered in dirt.

It didn't really matter, since the traveler's face was covered in dirt too.

“If I’m not mistaken, Miss Traveler is the newly reborn God of Geo.” Ningguang said with certainty.

"The new Lord Rock!" The storyteller exclaimed in surprise upon hearing their conversation, but then covered his mouth after Ningguang glanced at him calmly.

She was wrong. I am a superior being from a higher world, on the same level as the creator god.

Logically speaking, their strength should be above that of these lesser demon gods.

It's just that I don't know how to use it...

"If what Miss Ningguang says is true, then why would I still be the deputy head of the Hall of Rebirth?" the traveler chuckled.

“Actually, my spies noticed you the moment you entered Liyue Harbor. Since your arrival, Liyue Harbor has faced several crises, all of which have been resolved quietly.”

Huh? What crisis? I have no idea either.

The traveler was completely bewildered.

She remembered being beaten pretty badly by the guy who called himself the Demon God of Death.

"If I hadn't witnessed you single-handedly holding off the newly born Death God, I would have just thought of you as an unknown foreigner."

If it weren't for Xianyun's timely appearance, the traveler's life would have been in danger.

"I am actually a distant relative of a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth..." The traveler's lie was so frantic that she knew Ningguang must have investigated.

"The guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth is very knowledgeable. Miss Lu Ren approached him because she wanted to learn about Liyue. From the Hall of Rebirth to the streets and ports, from food to festivals, she learned everything related to Liyue."

The reason I approached him was because I had ulterior motives towards him...

To claim to specifically learn about the customs and culture of Liyue is utter nonsense; wandering the streets every day just to slack off...

“You can think of me as a traveler, and that’s where my name comes from.”

"Please don't misunderstand, Miss. I have no ill intentions. It is only proper etiquette for one of the Seven Stars to pay homage to the Rock God."

"I'm really not some kind of Geo Archon... I also have a God's Eye... Look..." The traveler took out a fake God's Eye to prove himself.

Kaka-

Right in front of the two, the glass sphere on the false eye of God shattered.

It just so happens to break at this exact moment.

“Our goal is the same as Miss Lu Ren’s; it’s simply to protect Liyue.” She tactfully changed the subject of the Eye of God.

Compared to Ningguang, the traveler's lie is rather clumsy.

If I were the Geo Archon, my future would be bleak, and I could only do so in Liyue.

If I say no, she will probably become even more wary of me.

dilemma.

I also want to fake my death after being assassinated.

The method of faking death is indeed ingenious...

Being too high-profile is never a good thing.

"I am just an outsider who has strayed into this world and am looking for a way home." That was all the traveler could say, indicating that he had no intention of staying in Liyue.

"I see." Her expression was unreadable, neither confirming nor denying her belief.

Another earth-shaking tremor ensued, and the demon god emerged from the ground, its four bodies intertwined and merging into one.

The skin changed from milky white to red, and a hundred segmented legs grew from the lower abdomen.

It stands upright on the ground, hundreds of meters high, looking down at the tiny travelers on the "small boat".

The traveler gripped her weapon tightly, sensing an incredibly powerful aura that had grown even stronger after merging with it.

After a brief standoff, it looked toward the Jade Pavilion atop Mount Tianheng.

"Its target is the Jade Pavilion. Do you have any way to move the Jade Pavilion?" The traveler told Ningguang about the demon god's intentions.

“It’s pointless to move it. If Qunyu Pavilion moves, its next target will be Qingce Manor or Chenyu Valley. Liyue will never have peace until the Demon God is eliminated.” Ningguang suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the traveler.

"This calamity caused by the demon god is beyond the control of us mortals. Tianquan Ningguang begs the Emperor to lend a hand and save the people of Liyue from this disaster."

"I……"

You didn't listen to a single word I said.

*

Reject malicious praise that could be detrimental.

Ningguang's few words made the traveler feel elated, greatly satisfying his vanity, which he usually didn't pay much attention to.

When she came to her senses, she had already responded to Ningguang's request and had been sent to the Qunyu Pavilion.

When others place their hopes on you, a strange power surges in your chest.

Is this the so-called claim that divine power comes from faith?

If I can hold off the demon god here, the pressure on Hu Tao and the others will be greatly reduced.

The actual Qunyu Pavilion I saw was very different from the one in the game; it was not a place that could be traversed in just a few steps.

The Liyue people who had taken refuge here huddled together in small groups, silent, their eyes filled with fear and despair. The wind was chilly high above, and they huddled together, wrapped in blankets.

When Master Mao saw Ningguang arrive, he asked anxiously, "Lord Ningguang, how is my daughter Xiangling? Why hasn't she returned yet?"

Ningguang shook her head: "I didn't see her."

Master Mao silently sat back down on the ground and stopped talking.

The wind shifted, and the smoke and dust enveloping Liyue Harbor drifted towards Jade Pavilion. The Demon God's body was hidden within it.

As the demon god approached the Jade Pavilion, it suddenly burrowed underground.

"It's trying to attack the Jade Pavilion from below." The traveler stood on the edge of the Jade Pavilion and looked down. Sure enough, the mountain directly below had collapsed and sunk.

How to do.

Create a pipe larger than the demon's size and the rock's hardness, pour it into the demon's mouth, and attack its weakest point to kill it!

The giant mouth opened wide, and layers of serrated teeth burst forth from the center.

The traveler guessed wrong; it didn't want to crash into the Jade Pavilion, but rather to swallow the entire Jade Pavilion whole.

A rock spear stands upright beneath the clouds, its shadow obscuring the Jade Pavilion.

The people who were praying with their heads down looked up curiously and saw a sight they had never seen before.

No amount of flowery language can describe the scene before us.

No, there is one.

They remembered.

"Emperor Rock King!"
