Zongman: Start by conquering Misako

　Ningguang, Keqing, Xianyun, Shenhe, and Ganyu.

　I've gained so much in just one day at Liyue Harbor.

　At this rate, it won’t be long before all the female characters in Liyue are caught.

　"Who should I go find next? Ye Lan is good... Yan Fei is also okay... I like Bei Dou's personality too... Although Hu Tao is a little flat, she's pretty good overall."

　Just as Ye Lei thought of this, several powerful auras appeared outside the Qun Yu Pavilion, and the person leading the aura made Ye Lei's eyes light up.

　"Finally, you're here. I thought you'd continue hiding... Rock King Morax."

　Morax, transformed into Zhongli, stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

　It's all because of his confidence in his own strength, he can handle anything easily.

　Behind Zhongli were the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortal Xiao, the True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, and the True Lord Lishui Dieshan. They all came in response to his summons.

　The door of the Qun Yu Pavilion opened, and Ye Lei walked out with a smile, and couldn't help but look Morax up and down.

　"He's even more handsome than in the plot, but not as handsome as me." Ye Lei said confidently.

　Morax was also looking at Ye Lei, and then asked, "Your Excellency is the new god from Mond."

　Ye Lei nodded, not hiding his purpose at all.

　Not only did he tell Morax his identity, but he also stated that he came for the Heart of God.

　"Heart of God?"

　Morax frowned slightly, not understanding what Ye Lei wanted the Heart of God for.

　"Could it be that the rumors are true? You plan to gather seven hearts of gods to gain the power to fight against the laws of nature?" Morax said thoughtfully.

　"You're only half right. I do intend to collect seven God's Hearts. But not to gain the power to defy Heaven's will."

　"Then why did you..."

　"The laws of nature are of no use to me. I only collected the Hearts of God to open a passage to Sky Island."

　Ye Lei spoke calmly, but everyone's pupils, including Morax, seemed to be shaking, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

　Morax took a few seconds to come back to his senses, and for the first time, displeasure appeared in his tone.

　"I admit that you possess a very powerful force, but I don't think you can defeat the law of nature."

　Ye Lei smiled

　He became interested. He was very interested in the power of Morax.

　I want to see how powerful the Geo Emperor, who has ruled Liyue for over 3,700 years, is.

　Unexpectedly, Morax shook his head and said bluntly that even if Ye Lei defeated him, he would not be able to obtain the Heart of God.

　"why is that?"

　"Because I have already used the Heart of God as a bargaining chip to reach a contract. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by the Eater of Rock."

　"As the god who governs contracts, I don't think I would violate them."

　This time it was Ye Lei's turn to be stunned.

　Because in the plot, it was Rosaline who came to Liyue on behalf of the Ice Queen.

　But she is still in Mondstadt, so who is the deal Zhongli mentioned with?

　"It seems the plot has changed. It should be another executive officer who took action. Is it the young master or someone else?"

　Ye Lei thought for a moment, then smiled what he considered to be a gentle smile.

　"Since we are from the same hometown, I will let you, the God of Contract, see to the end."

　"Once you've reached an agreement and handed over the Heart of God, I'll snatch it from the other party."

　Looking at Ye Lei's terrifying smile, Morax was silent for a rare moment, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

　Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly weird, an earth-shaking roar came from the direction of Hulao Mountain. The familiar breath made Morax's face change.

　"This feeling is...Ryota Dragon King?!"

　At this moment, at the foot of Hulao Mountain, the young master looked at the "Hundred No Taboos" in his hand with a slight smile on his face.

　"It's really a good thing. Even though it's just an imitation, it will have miraculous effects as long as the quantity is large enough."

　The power of the seal gradually faded, and the mighty power of the Dragon King Rāṇa overflowed. Even the Eleventh Executor of the Fatui was astonished.

　If the plan could not go wrong, the young master would really like to experience the power of this legendary demon god.

　"Before the seal is completely lifted, I'd better go first."

　When the young master said this, he looked towards the seaside and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

　Almost at the same time as the young master left, terrifying power erupted from the seal.

　The entire Hulao Mountain trembled violently, and terrifying waves like an earthquake spread in all directions.

　In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, accompanied by the gradual collapse of Mount Hulao, and the huge mountain-like body of the Rādhāra Dragon King broke out of the ground.

　"Morax...it's time to settle everything!"

　The roar of the Dragon King Rudra spread throughout the world, and countless people in Liyue felt this catastrophic power.

　Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and they couldn't believe what was happening.

　"Has the demon god awakened?!"

　The Rock King Emperor had just been assassinated, and the Demon God had awakened immediately afterward. Could this be a sign of heaven's destruction of Liyue?!

　Some pessimistic people seemed to have seen the end of the world coming, and the entire Liyue Harbor was soon shrouded in a cloud of despair.

　Morax also frowned on the top of the Jade Pavilion, not understanding why the Dragon King Ruota would break the seal at this time.

　The Dragon King Ruota was originally created by elemental crystals, carrying the power and memories of the earth, and should live as long as the mountains and seas.

　Thousands of years ago during the Demon War, Morax discovered the Rhodra Dragon King hiding in the dark underground and opened his eyes.

　Therefore, Ruota signed a contract with Morax and followed him to fight all over the world, leaving behind many legends.

　Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the war, King Rāshtra lost his mind due to the wear and tear of his strength.

　Because he violated the contract by attacking the Layered Abyss, he was suppressed by Morax under the Fulong Tree.

　For the next thousand years, Ruo Tuo used the Fulong Tree to absorb the power of the earth veins, quietly waiting for the opportunity to break free from the seal of the rock ridge magic circle.

　As time passed, the power of the Rock Ridge Array gradually weakened and it was already at its last gasp.

　Today, another young master used the "A Hundred Taboos" to help from outside, and finally the Ruota Dragon King seized the opportunity to break the seal.

　The battle between the two was so earth-shattering that it even created the terrifying terrain of the Layered Rock Abyss.

　The two sides fought fiercely from the Rock Abyss all the way to the South Gate of Heaven. Morax finally beat him into the cave and ordered the immortals to work together to block the passage, thus successfully suppressing the Dragon King Ruota.

　But in Morax's opinion, although King Rhodo was defeated, he was not inferior in skills.

　But it still had feelings for itself, Liyue, and even the life on earth, so it voluntarily allowed itself to be sealed.

　This shows how terrifying the fighting power of the Dragon King Ruta is.

　The thousand years of suppression had not weakened the power of the Ruotu Dragon King. On the contrary, due to the constant absorption of the power of the earth veins, the Ruotu Dragon King's combat power had not declined but improved.

　In comparison, even someone as strong as Morax has been worn down by the years, and his combat effectiveness is no longer invincible.

　If they fought again, he didn't know what his chances of winning were.

　Hatred and wear and tear have turned the current Lord Rudra into a complete monster, with only revenge in his mind.

　The Dragon King Rudra walked aimlessly among the mountains, attacking everything he saw.

　In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the entire Liyue trembled under this force.

　If the Dragon King Ruta cannot be stopped, Liyue will soon be reduced to ruins.

　Morax's face became unusually serious, and the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals also felt a huge crisis.

　"Let's stop him!"

　Xiao was the first to jump out, and the other immortals responded one after another.

　But Morax shook his head and said: "The current Ruota Dragon King is more powerful than he was a thousand years ago.

　Even if we attack together, we may not win."

　Everyone was completely stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't believe it for a moment.

　After thousands of years of companionship, everyone has long been accustomed to the Emperor's power, as if he can easily resolve any problem.

　But today the Emperor behaved out of character, which made everyone realize that the situation had become too serious to be under control.

　Zhongli then turned his gaze towards Ye Lei and said unexpectedly, "I hope to reach an agreement with you."

　"Oh, what agreement?" Ye Lei asked with interest.

　"If I am defeated or even killed by the Ruota Dragon King, I hope you can help save Liyue."

　"In return, I will give you the Heart of God." Morax said calmly.

　"You have traded your Heart of God with others." Ye Lei couldn't help laughing.

　Morax shook his head and said frankly that a deal had been made. But now it seemed someone had broken the contract first, and the fact that the Dragon King had broken the seal was the best proof.

　As an old monster who has lived for more than six thousand years, Morax's wisdom far exceeds his fighting ability. He saw through the truth behind the Ryota Dragon King's rampage at a glance.

　Faced with this agreement, Ye Lei agreed without thinking.

　"The contract has been made. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished by eating rocks."

　After Zhongli finished speaking, he jumped off the Qun Yu Pavilion and rushed to Hu Lao Mountain as fast as he could.

　Xiao and others wanted to go and help, but they were suppressed by the power left by Morax and could not leave the Jade Pavilion at all.

　Everyone was extremely anxious and tried to break the seal, but it didn't work at all.

　Finally, Ye Lei couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

　"If you guys go, you'll just be a drag. I'll go instead."

　Ye Lei smiled and then disappeared, appearing on Yujingtai as the Flying Thunder God.

　At this time, Liyue Harbor was in complete chaos, and more and more people tried to flee to the sea. It seemed that this was the only way to escape the threat of the Ruta Dragon King.
