Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

At the edge of the banquet venue, five gods teleported directly from the Liyue Lantern Festival venue quietly appeared in a subtle elemental force fluctuation.

In order to facilitate the emperor who came to the banquet to observe the preparations made by many immortals at the first time,

Lin Feng and Ruo Tuo also deliberately chose a corner where they could see the entire venue clearly as their landing point.

It was clearly midnight and the Lantern Festival had already ended.

However, this not very wide but extremely exquisite venue is still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Many yellow and white bipedal red pandas of all sizes were running around the venue.

Even though the meals placed on the rectangular stone table had not yet been eaten,

But the chef, who seemed to be afraid that someone would go hungry in front of him, still kept delivering the "appetizers" in his hand to everyone.

"."

Looking ahead at the banquet that was exactly the same as in my memory, and the many immortals who had been waiting here for a long time,

And a familiar face who seemed not to notice this, was chatting with Xiao while grilling tiger fish in the corner.

Zhongli listened to the harmonious sound played by the dust-cleansing bell and the guqin.

For a moment, it seemed as if I had returned to the early days of Guiliji, when I had not yet assumed great power.

But I have many old friends around me and there are various banquets all year round, which is a good time.

"."

Noticing that the Emperor who came with many gods seemed to be lost in memories for the first time in a long time,

The immortals who had originally planned to line the streets to welcome him looked at each other silently and chose to remain silent for the time being.

It did not disturb the "old man" from reminiscing about the happy times in the past.

After a while,

After greeting the immortals who came to greet him one by one,

Zhongli, who had never thought that he would see this scene again since Guiliji was abandoned, also sighed.

He turned to look at the person who had brought countless changes to Liyue and personally facilitated all of this:

".Although I had anticipated what was going to happen when I saw the statue of my old friend next to the venue,

But the magnitude of this 'surprise' from you still caught me off guard."

I thought that seeing the restored "Demon of the Stove" would be the best New Year's gift.

But he never expected that he would still be able to see this scene thousands of years later:

——The completely purified Guiliyuan, the old friends who regained their authority, the lively banquet that was no different from thousands of years ago, and the complete staff that was unprecedented.

Zhongli never thought that he would get so many surprises on the Lantern Festival.

For a moment, I looked with some emotion at those old friends who should not have been here but whose fate was changed because of the arrival of "variables".

". You are too polite, old man. There are many participants in this banquet, and it is not just my effort.

Whether it is the decoration of the scene, the preparation of the dishes, or the music as accompaniment, all rely on the help of the immortals.

If I have to say, I probably just expanded the number of people who could be present."

“——Holding a banquet for today’s Liyue is everyone’s common wish and expectation.

I have benefited greatly from this land and I am happy to provide a small contribution to it.”

——In addition to the dishes on the table, the banquet venue in front of us, from the architectural layout to the tableware decoration,

It can be said that every blade of grass and every tree carries the memories of many immortals about the past.

His greatest contribution was to provide a reliable cook, which made this banquet, which had long been in the minds of many immortals, have the opportunity to become a reality.

"."

I heard the person in front of me casually mention the most critical factor.

Looking at the scene in front of me that might not appear even in the most beautiful dreams,

Zhongli can foresee where his own fate and the fate of his old friends will end up if there are no external factors involved.

He shook his head and said with some emotion:

".The Yaksha clan has protected Liyue for thousands of years and has made outstanding contributions.

Not only did you eliminate the karmic obstacles that plagued Xiao, you also found a fellow tribesman for him, saving him from the pain of loneliness."

".The Layered Abyss is the lifeblood of Liyue. It is the livelihood of many workers and the foundation of Liyue's ore smelting and weapon forging.

First, I blocked the hole of the abyss infection, so that the workers could mine with peace of mind.

Since then, many depleted mines have been regenerated, delaying the day when resources will be exhausted.”

".Ryota is the king of rock dragons. After escaping from the depths of the earth thousands of years ago,

In the past wars between demons and gods, he made great contributions to the establishment of Liyue today.

My friend has awakened the mind of my old friend and saved him from the pain of being worn out, so that he can come here to attend the banquet."

".Osel is the overlord of the sea, unruly and hard to tame.

It is also thanks to the power you displayed that they were terrified, which added another boost to Liyue in the future."

"Return to the Original Place"

"Chi"

"The Devil of the Hearth"

Zhongli recalled the changes that Lin Feng had brought to Liyue.

At the same time, we will analyze the impact of these changes one by one.

It was while listening to Zhongli's detailed recollections that

Lin Feng suddenly realized that he seemed to have brought too many changes to the world unknowingly through the accumulation of his actions.

After a while, when the old man in front of him finally finished talking about the changes that had taken place in such a short period of time,

He also looked at the source of all these influences and said with emotion:

"——Since you arrived, you have made countless contributions to this land.

The contract that I made with you in the past has now met the conditions for completion."

"Although the rewards agreed upon in the past are not commensurate with the value of your efforts,

But your position is too high now, and Liyue may not have any reward to make up the difference."

After a brief pause, Zhongli continued with some meaning:

".I know that you are facing a more far-reaching disaster and you are not able to calm down for the time being.

Before gathering the forces scattered among the seven countries, there is no extra energy to deal with other problems. "

"——But if you are interested, when you take over the Heart of God and the Throne in the future,

When the right time comes, how about taking over Liyue's 3,700 years of history as well?"

"."

Lin Feng: "."

If I guessed correctly, the old man meant that as long as I agreed,

Then when I have free time, I can choose to take his shift and work part-time as a regular ruler of the Seventh World?

——But it’s easy to take office but hard to retire!!!

The old man has worked for more than 3,000 years in one go, and now there is no good time to retire.

Where can I find such a suitable successor then?

——Summon a little yellow-haired 2.0 from outside the world and give it to him?

"."

".Ahem, old man, you know that Xumi is now managed by Nashida.

I usually just hang out outside, and my ability to govern the country is actually pretty average."

"——And I see that you are still in good health, old man.

I have a way to deal with the wear and tear problem now, so I think it won’t be a problem if you continue to work for a few thousand years.”

"——When you really want to retire, or take a vacation, it won't be too late to ask me to help you out then."

Zhongli clearly knew that he still had a lot of things to do.

There is no idea of ​​making a "Ganoderma is assassinated, the whole place is locked down" drama right now, and then decisively retiring and leaving the work to him.

Now we are just asking about his attitude towards being the successor.

Lin Feng, who always chooses to take advantage of the situation, responded very clearly:

——It’s not impossible for me to take over, but I’ll wait until you really retire, old man.

Anyway, the rules of nature are not a big problem that cannot be dealt with.

Old man, you are obviously in good spirits. If you take care of yourself, you should be able to live for another few thousand years.

——If he can’t bear it anymore, I can bring him to Liyue to take extra classes.

But before running through the seven kingdoms and taking all the authority,

He couldn't possibly let Nashida take care of Liyue's work as well, right?

—Nashida, who manages the political affairs of the two countries? Does he look like some devilish capitalist who oppresses child laborers?

"."

".Is that so? Okay."

Zhongli, who understood Lin Feng's attitude in front of him and successfully found a backup plan for Liyue, shook his head and smiled, and was obviously in a good mood.

——His wear and tear has always been mental.

The key factors that cause wear are

In fact, it is the "fate" hanging in the sky that always takes away everything he has irreversibly and permanently.

But now there is such a variable,

After arriving in this country, I have been constantly bringing back old friends who were about to leave or have already left from "fate".

When there is no longer only "separation" in the long life, but also the possibility of "reunion", his mentality has actually been changing imperceptibly.

Knowing that in the next period of time, the turmoil that will sweep across the entire continent of Teyvat will eventually come,

In such a changing situation, Liyue still needs an experienced god to take charge of the overall situation in order to fight against unexpected disasters.

Zhongli felt that his condition had improved a lot.

Before knowing that Lin Feng had the means to resist wear and tear,

In fact, I have already postponed my retirement a little bit.

Even if the final effect is not that significant, he and Liyue should at least be able to provide timely support when the other party needs this strength.

Now, when he was sure that even if something unexpected happened to him, someone would take over this country that had lasted for 3,700 years,

Zhongli, who was able to understand the implicit meaning of Lin Feng's words, finally felt relieved.

Knowing that Zhongli completely understood his thoughts, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain:

".Well, old man, you should know that the complete elemental power is also the authority of the world.

If it reaches a certain level, it will have the ability to fight against the laws of nature.

Although I am still a long way from the level of the former Dragon King, his condition is also not good.

Now, including the suppression of wear and tear, and the transfer of the throne with your active cooperation,

These things are not that difficult for me, they can be done as long as I spend some time."

"——But if you want to maximize the value of this "throne" that symbolizes the status of the seven rulers of the world, then I think it is better to leave it in your hands for the time being."

"——After all, this is an opportunity to enter the rules of "heavenly principles".
