Listening to Zhongli's majestic voice, "Ms." snorted coldly and said, "Huh... that's a condescending tone."

Although she was a little unhappy with Zhongli's attitude, she didn't say much about it. After all, she just needed to complete the tasks assigned by the Queen.

Paimon looked at the golden chess piece in Zhongli's hand and was a little surprised for a moment. He looked at the chess piece and then at Zhongli, and shouted in disbelief:

"What?! Zhongli is the King of Rock?! Is he the King of Rock?!"

However, the next second, Paimon instantly realized something even worse than this: why Morax, one of the "Seven Rulers of the World", wanted to hand over the "Heart of God" to the Fools.

So she shook her little hands and stamped her little feet and asked: "Although this incident is also shocking, why...why do you want to give the "Heart of God" to the "Fools"?!"

Zhong Li turned his head slightly when he heard this. He glanced at Mo Yu who had a look of understanding on his face, then looked at the traveler who looked confused and then explained:

"This is not a 'gift', but a transaction based on a 'contract'. This is a matter between me and the 'Ice Queen'."

Ying shook her head when she heard this. She didn't understand why Zhongli would say such a thing, and then asked softly: "About you faking your death..."

Before Ying could finish speaking, Paimon took over and said, "That's right! You went too far in faking your own death! Everyone was busy holding a ceremony to welcome you, but suddenly a dragon fell from the sky. Then Liyue Port fell into chaos and almost caused a catastrophe!"

After saying this, Paimeng glanced at Mo Yu who looked calm behind him as if he suddenly remembered something, and then said: "Mo Yu also spent a lot of money on your "Send Immortal Ceremony"!"

"Wait... Mo Yu, why didn't you react at all?! Shouldn't you be shocked and... don't understand?"

Mo Yu, who was originally leaning against the wall and planning to watch the show, was suddenly called upon and didn't react. It wasn't until "Madam" spoke that his thoughts got back on track.

"Ha... isn't it exactly what he wants to bring the undercurrents under the water together and then explode them?"

Hearing this, Mo Yu rolled his eyes at "Madam" unceremoniously, "Who asked you?"

"you...!"

Mo Yu ignored the "lady" who was almost driven crazy by him, and said to Paimeng and Ying: "Actually, the whole thing... I am an absolute insider. Of course, I am also one of the participants. I am really tired from acting. .”

"Wait...you mean you knew Zhongli was Prince Yan from the beginning?"

"It's not so much that I knew it from the beginning... It's better to say that I inferred it myself." Mo Yu paused for a moment, and then continued to explain:

"Liyue is vast, and many demon gods appeared during the "Demon God War". Among them, there is a "Salt Demon God" named Heulia that I am quite concerned about."

"She originally thought that as long as she did not participate in the war, her people would not be devastated, but how could war be such a gentle thing? The spread of the war reduced her territory day by day, so that in the end... her people They raised their butcher's knives at her."

"As Heulia died, the remaining demon power in her body was released in an instant, and her people... all turned into salt."

Hearing this, Paimon suddenly screamed and said: "People... turned into salt?! No, no, what does this have to do with you knowing that the Emperor of the Rock King is Zhongli?"

Yingze pondered for a moment, and then explained: "What Mo Yu means is... if the Rock God is really dead, then the power of the demon god he possesses will explode like Heulia, causing the entire Liyue to be... ..Petrified?”

Mo Yu nodded when he heard this, "Yes, so I have always felt that Emperor Yanwang is not dead, but according to Liyue's tradition, what is needed to welcome an immortal is the "ceremony of inviting the immortal", and what is needed for the death of an immortal is " "Send the Immortal Ceremony".

Although I didn’t know whether Prince Yan was dead or not at the time, but... Prince Yan must have a deep meaning in doing this, so I followed the tradition and found the "Palace of Rebirth" whose appearance has not changed for more than 20 years. The guest is Mr. Zhongli. "

"After... some small verification and testing, Mr. Zhongli informed me of his true identity and asked me... to keep this exam question assigned to Liyue Port a secret."

Paimon supported her little head at this moment, as if her brain was somewhat overloaded, and she really couldn't react.

"Test questions...? My mind is so messed up..."

Looking at Paimeng who was confused, Mo Yu shrugged and said, "Well... I am a keeper of confidentiality after all, not an examiner. Let Mr. Zhongli speak for himself."

Then the eyes of Huying and Paimeng were successfully transferred to Zhongli, and he explained softly at this moment: "As you know, I have spent more than six thousand years in the world, and established Liyue with the immortals. , also happened 3,700 years ago.”

"The rock that cannot be broken by the whirlpool will also be worn away by the erosion of time. It's just that I keep convincing myself that the day when the wear and tear will cause cracks has not yet come."

"Until one drizzly day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates: "You have completed your duties. Now, go and rest. "——At that time, I stopped for a long time in the crowd, and kept asking myself: "Has my responsibility... been completed? ""

“But when I started to think about whether I should step down as a god...I realized that there were many reasons why I couldn’t leave.

The place that walks with the gods, Liyue, is it ready to enter the next era? I have to create an opportunity to observe carefully and then make a decision. "

"That's why I designed this fake death to involve the "Fools", "Liyue Seven Stars" and the immortals into this whirlpool."

Having said this, a rare smile appeared on Zhong Li's face. He looked at Mo Yu and said softly: "Now it seems... Liyue is ready to enter the next era."

After listening to Zhongli's words, Dadalia looked at Moyu and said with disbelief: "In other words...you actually used me?"

Feeling Dadalia's surprised gaze, Mo Yu said without blushing, "No, whether I know Zhongli is the Rock King or not will not affect the outcome of the matter."

"What happened in Mondstadt made me understand one thing. The "Fools" have only one goal, and that is the "Heart of God".

When the outside world unanimously believes that the emperor's soul has returned to heaven... the "fools" will try their best to figure out where the "immortal ancestor's slough" is, because according to inertial thinking... there must be a "heart of god" in it ". "

Having said this, Mo Yu glanced at Dadalia and smiled meaningfully before saying, "Mr. Young Master, I would have discovered the partition ear you installed when it was exposed to the air. Otherwise, I would have discovered it." ...Why am I waiting for you in the "Golden House"?"

"Did you... deliberately release the news?"

"That's right, after all, this logic does not require the link of "knowing that Zhongli is the King of Rocks" from the beginning of its existence. I am just a person who protects the "Immortal Ancestor's Transformation" in order for the "Immortal Sending Ceremony" to proceed smoothly. "It's just the Seven Stars of Liyue."

Having said this, Mo Yu looked at Zhongli, and then continued: "Of course, Osel's appearance was beyond my expectation. This may be... Emperor Yan Wang's test for Liyue... .”

"But then again... Mr. Dadalia, what happened to those "fools" who boarded the "Jade Pavilion"...? Can you give me an answer?"

Looking at Mo Yu's smiling face, Dadalia instantly felt a chill on his back. His feeling... was really not good.
