Tianheng Mountain.
Wendy came to Zhongli's side and shook her head at him.
Besides genuine anger, Zhongli's shout just now also implied a desire to draw out a weakness in the Abyss forces so that Barbatos could find his trail.
However, the result was not as expected, and Wendy did not find any trace of the Abyss.
"Cough cough..."
Zhongli coughed again, and golden blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"Old man, you...were you...by that man in black robes..."
Zhongli raised his hand to stop Wendy. His injuries were indeed not serious; he had just been a little agitated.
The wear and tear... has worsened...
"Old friend, please help me restore this place to its original state."
"…Um."
Wendy used her divine power to instantly restore Qingge's grave, which had been overturned.
He knew Zhongli's thoughts; it was better not to let the family know about this. Qingge's parents had not yet recovered from the loss of their daughter and could not accept such a cruel fact.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will stay in Liyue during this time and work with you to find the Abyss and retrieve Qingge's remains."
Wendy is definitely younger than Zhongli.
Moreover, he is the free wind, more resistant to wear and tear than rocks. Zhongli's mood is a bit off, and he must stay to make sure everything is normal.
"Ah."
Zhongli was acutely aware of his own situation, and he tried his best to calm himself down.
It seems I must consult the Tree King. If I descend into madness due to wear and tear like the Dragon King Rota, Liyue will truly be in danger…
Especially given the current high activity level in the Abyss. (Armor stacking, Zhongli's late-game wear removal.)
"Emperor..."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhong Li looked toward the source of the sound.
Not only the True Lord of Songchenlang City, but also all the immortals and demons have come.
Zhong Li breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Qingxu.
"Your Majesty, are you... alright...?"
Xiao noticed the golden blood at the corner of Zhongli's mouth, and a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.
In this era, who can injure the Emperor?
Xianyun was also greatly alarmed: "Your Majesty, is it about the matter of Sumeru?"
Zhongli nodded slightly: "I'm fine. You... except for Xianyun, collect clues about the Abyss within Liyue. But if you make any discoveries, do not act rashly. Immediately notify me and Barbatos."
Seeing Zhongli's serious tone, the immortals immediately agreed.
Only Xianyun said, "Your Majesty, why do I..."
Zhongli: "Kaiyangxing's body has been stolen from the Abyss. You are responsible for taking good care of her sister."
"what?!"
Xianyun was shocked again. How could this be...? The Emperor wasn't...
By the way, the Emperor's body was stolen no sooner than he left Kaiyang Star; this was something the other party had planned long ago.
No wonder the Emperor was so angry!
Xianyun gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn it, those scoundrels from the Abyss!"
Xiao clenched his fist tightly at his side.
The immortals departed, leaving only the dust of song.
"Your Majesty, you must also take care of your health. Only when you are well can Li Yue be well."
Zhongli nodded.
"Grandpa, I'll go back to Mondstadt first, and I'll be right back to find you."
Not long after Wendy left, Ge Chen also went to investigate elsewhere.
Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at Qingge's grave.
……
One day later, Mount Sumeru.
Ying and Paimon found the Great Tree King and learned about everything that happened in the Sumeru Desert yesterday. Nasita was also present.
"So, are the skirmishers dead?"
Paimon asked, "Although I hate that guy, I would feel sorry if he died like that."
"not at all."
The Great Tree King said, "His body was constructed like a puppet. Although his body was destroyed in the battle, his consciousness was preserved. I reshaped his body, but an accident occurred during the process of injecting his consciousness."
"Accident?"
Tree King: "Yes, in his subconscious, he was unwilling to accept his life experiences. In order to allow his consciousness to be successfully injected, I chose to accept his thoughts and cut off all his life experiences."
Paimon gaped: "Delete? Then is he still that skirmisher?"
Tree King: "It's not deletion, it's just letting him return to the moment he was born, so that his subsequent experiences will be as if they never existed."
"You'll understand the details when you meet him in a bit."
Shortly after the Tree King finished speaking, Angie strode in, followed by D'Artagnan and Elena, and...
A Kabuki-zhe dressed in all white, wearing a large hat, and carrying many fruits in his hands.
Angie took half a melon from the stragglers, chilled it, and handed it to Paimon.
"Ah, thanks."
Taking the opportunity, Angie patted Paimon, and then did the same to Ying.
"He's not called a 'scattered soldier' anymore, he's called a 'Qingqi Zhe' now. But, how should I put it, it's boring. There's no sense of accomplishment in bullying him. It's still the most fun to fight when he's talking trash."
P.S.: I'll be taking a break for a few days. I'm exhausted from revising my thesis lately. I'll make up for it with three chapters a day from now on.
Chapter 221 Kaiyang's Last Words
"A Kabuki-zhe?"
Paimon looked curiously at the "skirmisher" following behind Angela and D'Artagnan. The skirmisher was carrying a plate with sliced fruit on it.
The arrogance in his eyes as he looked at the crowd was gone, replaced by a kind of clear stupidity that Paimon could never have imagined would appear on the face of a skirmisher.
"Are you really a stragglers?"
Little Paimon approached the skirmisher and stared at him curiously.
"Little sprite, I, my name is, Lei, the Thunder Kingdom Collapses..."
Paimon's big eyes widened even more. He actually stopped calling himself "little thing" and started calling himself "little elf" instead?
Angie: "If you don't understand what the Tree King just said, just assume that his brain was damaged in the previous battle, and he is the same as when he was first born."
The Kabuki, carrying the fruit, said timidly, "Um, what did I do before?"
Anqi glanced at him sideways, and the strange one immediately lowered his head.
"You better never remember this, or I'll definitely kick your ass with my boots!"
"Okay, okay, I don't remember."
Ying was quite curious, so she went over and looked at the strange man for a while. Then, to everyone's surprise, she reached out and tapped him on the head.
The banging sound startled not only the Qizhe, but also Anqi, who was somewhat taken aback.
"Um, traveler..."
Ying said to Qingqi, "From now on, you must repent and start anew as a puppet."
The eccentric nodded. He was now very curious about what he had done before, which didn't seem to be anything good.
Putting the matter of the stragglers aside for now, Angie looked at the Great Compassion Tree King.
The Heart of Thor originally belonged to the Fools and is still in the hands of the Tree King, as does the Heart of the Grass God of Sumeru. Both of these Hearts of God are Angie's targets.
"Lord Tree King, I wonder if the Heart of God is suitable..."
"This is to express my gratitude to you both for your help to Xumi during this time."
The Tree King stretched out her right hand, and on her right hand was the Heart of the Thunder Element God.
"Heart of the Grass Elemental God..."
Angie turned to look at Dadalia, then back at the Great Tree King.
The Tree King had only recently awakened and knew little about the Winter Queen's collection of the Hearts of Gods. The Heart of Thor did not belong to her, and since Thor had already given it to her, she returned it.
However, the Heart of the Grass God is not an option. Sumeru has just experienced an unprecedented battle, and both its condition and the restoration of Sumeru's terrain require the power of the Heart of the Grass God.
Moreover, she had a deep-seated intuition that she needed to rely on the Heart of God to know some very important things.
"I cannot give you the Heart of the Grass God, at least not for the time being."
The Tree King's tone was resolute.
Angie accepted the Heart of the Lightning Element God and didn't mention the Heart of the Grass Element God again.
The Tree King is not the Little Lucky Grass King. Since she said that, it seems we can't obtain the Heart of the Grass God.
Angie wasn't too disappointed. The Heart of God of Sumeru was originally the Doctor's mission, and bringing back a Heart of God of Lightning was enough to fulfill their task.
Let's leave the Sumeru situation to the [Doctor] to deal with.
After chatting with Ying and the others for a while, Angie prepared to leave temporarily, and called Kakeru to join her before leaving.
In his current state, the Kabuki could not possibly return to the Fatui Clan, and Angie had no intention of taking him back.
Let's just pretend that foul-mouthed deserter is dead.
However, that guy Sanbing really angered her. Now that she finally had such a chance, she had to bully him properly before going back.
The Kagami was also single, and when Angie told him to follow, he actually did.
After Angie and the others left, the Tree King took out a golden jar containing knowledge.
The moment Ying saw this canned knowledge, her mind went blank. This kind of canned knowledge seemed to only exist when Narcida showed them the Tree King's last memories and Cyria's last message…
Is it...
The Tree King didn't notice the change in Ying's expression. She said, "In the previous battle, Morax was seriously injured. I wanted to treat him, but he seemed to have something very important to do. He returned to Liyue after the battle. Traveler, Paimon, I heard about your abilities from Narcida. Could you please send this item to him? Morax knows how to use it."
"Ah, Zhongli is injured?"
Paimon covered her mouth in surprise. In her mind, Zhongli was omnipotent and incredibly powerful. How could he be injured?
Ying also solemnly accepted the golden jar of knowledge from the Tree King.
"Don't worry, Paimon and I will set off soon!"
Nasita had remained quietly behind the Tree King from the very beginning, without saying a word. Now that Ying and Paimon were about to depart, she spoke:
"Traveler, and Paimon, remember to come back after you've delivered the goods. You've helped Sumeru so much, and we haven't properly thanked you yet."
Paimon: "Okay, Narcida, Ying and I will return after we confirm the situation with Zhongli."
After Ying and Paimon left, only the Great Tree King and the Little Lucky Grass King remained at the scene.
"Lord Tree King, you..."
The Tree King gently crouched down and tenderly embraced Nasita.
After finishing his other business, the Tree King finally had time to see Nasita.
The Tree King is the embodiment of the World Tree, while Nasita is the purest branch on the World Tree. Both of them are still alive and well, so Nasita can be considered the daughter of the Great Compassion Tree King.
The scene of a mother comforting her daughter, who had been imprisoned for 500 years, is very heartwarming.
