Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

It was not until almost dinner time that Lin Feng finally appeared in the familiar position again.

Although for him now, the speed of traveling is considered quite fast,

But after all, the Shimen area and Liyue Harbor are located in the north and south of Liyue.

The demon residue in Cole's body had been rooted for a long time and could not be separated directly by force, so a lot of time was wasted in the end.

Accompanied by Qiqi and Master Hu, I had a luxurious dinner specially provided by Bubulu.

After working hard for an entire afternoon, Lin Feng finally helped Tinari recruit a reserve employee.

He also chose a quiet corner and discussed with Zhongli the highlight of the next Liyue governance plan - how to deal with the Dragon King Rudra.

"."

".To be honest, I haven't verified the possibility of this myself.

It's just that there is a certain probability of success in theory. Do you believe me so much, old man?"

Hearing the solution proposed by Zhongli,

Lin Feng just made a tentative suggestion, but he didn't expect that the old man would actually agree to it without much hesitation.

Zhongli, who had been holding a cup of tea in his hand, was in disbelief at his friend's expression.

He shook his head, smiled and said:

"Haha, this is not the war-torn era like before. Given the current situation,

We have not completely restricted Ruota's ability to cause damage to the entire Liyue through the earth veins.

So what's the harm in trying a little more?"

"——After all, if you can really find the grass dragon and complete the ancient dragon authority of the 'grass element',

Then wouldn’t there be a perfect solution to all the problems we are facing right now?”

Chapter 213 The Three Gods Who Form a Group to Find the Grass Dragon

Liyue Harbor, in the pavilion next to Yujing Terrace.

After receiving the old man's reply,

Lin Feng looked at Zhongli, who seemed to believe in him more than he did, and he didn't know what to say at first.

——After all, the idea of ​​fully or partially unlocking an ancient dragon's authority to deal with Ruota seems too far-fetched to outsiders.

Even he only gave a tentative suggestion.

——After all, the Ruotu Dragon King was a legendary being who could rival Zhongli when he was a monk and young.

As a rock element dragon king born in the earth veins, its ability to interfere with the earth veins and the environment is extremely powerful.

Because of this, even if they have formed an absolute advantage in the current combat power configuration, it may not be too difficult to defeat them.

But Lin Feng and Zhongli were still not sure they could completely control each other and prevent Ruotu from causing irreparable damage to the land in his madness.

But no matter what, Zhongli was willing to believe that he could use his identity as a non-ancient dragon to exert the full power of elements.

He even went to Xumi for this purpose, and together with him and Nashida, he confronted the most ancient Grass Dragon King. This really surprised Lin Feng.

".The matter of the Dragon King Ruota is not only a pity for me and many old friends, but also a disaster that could threaten the subversion of the entire Liyue."

".I know that giving up the current plan and hoping to rely on the complete power of elements to suppress the other party's decision may be too easy for you."

"But I wonder if you have ever heard of the Qianyan Group, the predecessor of the Qianyan Army?"

Noticing the confusion on the face of the young man in front of him, Zhongli thought for a moment and began to explain.

"To be honest with you, old man, I don't really know much about them. I only know about their deeds from some scattered historical documents."

Lin Feng shook his head and responded.

".If my summary is correct, it is an absolutely elite army even in the entire history of Teyvat."

".Every soldier in the Qianyan Group is a strong warrior who has undergone rigorous training and screening, and is identified by the special weapon called the 'Qianyan Spear'.

Even during the chaotic years of fighting against the demon god, he never retreated, which can be called a miracle among mortals, and a story that no one has been able to replicate to this day."

Lin Feng, who has a lot of history in the Xumi Library, naturally knows that the Qianyan Group was during the Demon God War.

The only recorded army that faced off against the devil head-on and was not completely defeated by the enemy.

Even though they are using weapons made from Zhongli Yan's elemental creations, such performance can still be regarded as a huge lead among the armies of various countries.

If I hadn't seen it before, the qualitative change brought about by the Liyue army relying on formations and immortal magic,

Lin Feng simply couldn't imagine how mortals could participate in the war between demons.

——Without giving in, the power gap between the two has become unimaginable.

Back to now,

After listening carefully to Lin Feng's reply, Zhongli nodded and spoke in a tone that was slightly nostalgic:

".Fighting against the demons, this is indeed a miracle left by those warriors with their own will.

It is a feat that, in today’s environment, is incredible just to mention.”

"but"

Zhongli paused.

"My friend, you should also know that there are differences in strength among demon gods, right?"

"The difference between the strong and the weak is sometimes not much smaller than the difference between God and man."

"Of course, many demon gods at that time did not have complete authority. They were incomplete individuals who had status but still could not transcend the level of ordinary life force.

I have discovered this in previous experiences.”

Lin Feng thought of the situation with Guoba and the Demon God of Salt, and nodded in reply.

".Yes, if we judge by your current strength, most of the demon gods at that time were just weaklings who failed to reach the level of gods."

"But even if the Thousand Rocks, the most 'powerful' group among humans, face off against the 'weakest' of the demon gods,

If there is no participation of the immortal, there is still almost no chance of winning the battle, let alone killing it. "

After a brief pause, Zhongli looked at Lin Feng in front of him and asked with some confusion:

".As a military organization with far greater combat power than the current Thousand Rock Army, do you know why the Thousand Rock Group was gradually replaced by the Thousand Rock Army and slowly disappeared?"

".I am indeed a little confused about this, and I hope the Emperor can help me solve it."

Lin Feng responded frankly.

After all, in his opinion, even if the difficulty of training and selection is much higher,

There is no reason for Liyue to give up the Qianyan Group, which can participate in the war at the level of Demon God.

Instead, they chose the Thousand Rocks Army, which now only appears to be relatively powerful compared to the mortal army.

——If the standard weapons of that time were placed in the current army, there would be only a few that could be used normally.

No matter how peaceful the situation is now, at least a small elite force should be retained.

Zhongli sighed slightly and said with a heavy voice:

".Because, nowadays, only those rare victories are recorded and circulated the most widely."

"——In countless battles that have never been recorded in history, in the process of fighting against those 'weak' demon gods and their followers, the Thousand Rocks' casualties have reached a level that is unsustainable."

"A thousand rocks are solid, a thousand peaks are immovable, a fortress of armor is built to quell demons and evil."

"People only know these few slogans that have been passed down, but they don't know the tragic casualties behind them, which were only one in ten."

"."

After hearing the real reason why the Qianyan Group's inheritance was cut off, Lin Feng was silent for a moment.

After all, in the history of the outside world, there is no record of the core factor that prevented this army from surviving, which was actually the disintegration of the organizational structure caused by excessive casualties.

".So, the Emperor wants a safer plan because he has had such an experience before and doesn't want to bring more damage to Liyue?"

"exactly."

Zhongli nodded.

"——As the most powerful rock-element creature, the might of the Ryota Dragon King was beyond the reach of most opponents back then."

"And now that Liyue has been at peace for too long, it can no longer accept the losses that would come from a war on the level of a demon god."

"——But now, my old friend is actually resisting the pain caused by the damage and 'wear and tear' of the earth veins all the time.

If we can't cure him before his sanity completely fades,

Even if it can continue to be sealed, it will eventually turn into a natural disaster that can overturn the entire Liyue one day in the future."

"So, no matter how difficult it is to deal with, I can't choose to turn a blind eye to its problems."

"."

Zhongli didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his thought process.

Although Lin Feng was a little confused before the conversation began,

But after putting myself in the old man's shoes, I have to admit that the solution I proposed is actually quite attractive.

——If I were not there, then the current situation of King Rudra would be one of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Dealing with it now would result in unacceptable losses in subsequent battles, and Liyue, which has been in peace for too long, simply cannot afford it.

But if it is not dealt with, then at some point in the future, the Dragon King will be completely hopeless and will start to attack the seal frantically.

Once the mountain-like entity is truly free from its limitations,

Even if you just wander around Liyue for a while, all the current prosperity will probably vanish into thin air.

Completely understanding Zhongli's considerations, Lin Feng simply nodded and said:

"——Okay, thank you for your trust, old man."

"In that case, after making all the preliminary preparations, I will invite you to go to the desert to negotiate with the Grass Dragon as a safety precaution."

"With the arrival of multiple gods, the other party should be able to understand the current situation, and perhaps avoid any meaningless fighting."

——The more gods that go together, the easier it will be to negotiate with. This is Lin Feng’s experience after gaining power.

Back to now,

After knowing Lin Feng's plan, Zhongli smiled and responded:

"Haha, my friend, don't mind it. I have my own selfish motives involved."

".As far as I know, the power of the grass element has always contained the power of wisdom and consciousness.

The same should be true for the complete power of grass."

"——If you can really find the Grass Dragon King and gain the power of the ancient dragon,

Then not only can we completely suppress the aftermath of the battle, but we can also speed up the process of guiding and restoring Ruo Tuo's consciousness."

"——After the Dragon King's authority was divided, this is something that only an anomaly like you could do.

Even if the possibility is low, I am willing to give it a try."

"."

Now that emotions have become increasingly weak after thousands of years of wear and tear,

When Zhongli said this, there was a hint of emotional fluctuation on his body, which seemed very rare to Lin Feng.

Recalling the ending of the game, which was far from perfect and even seemed a bit torturous to the old man,

He vaguely sensed that this seemed to be a rebellion against the existing "fate" by Zhongli, the person who had always been the most rule-abiding.

I truly felt that my success or failure this time might lead to an unprecedented change in the direction of the entire continent.

Lin Feng, who is about to try to completely reverse the outcome of the god-level existence for the first time, also feels a rare sense of mission brought about by his own abilities.

After a rare long talk, Lin Feng, who needed to plan follow-up actions, left first.

Zhongli, however, sat quietly while looking at an ice-blue letter.

As if waiting for someone to come.
