Chapter 470: Future Health
"Haha, it's just a useless attempt to sow discord. For the sake of our great cause of restoring our country, it's okay if someone wants to find another way."
The flame slowly condensed into the shape of a crown: "Go away. By the way, let me remind you that what you are going through is not that simple."
"If you are truly desperate, the grace of the abyss will always keep a place for you, and the glory of Kanria will cover anyone who is willing to join our cause."
"Oh, you petty guy, you're trying to disgust me with a divisive scheme right here on the spot?"
The black-robed figure disappeared, and the crown of flames also gradually disappeared.
Outside an altar deep underground, a demon, or rather a Kanreyan, wearing a crown and a string of medals on his chest turned his head and looked at the blonde girl sitting on the throne.
"Your Highness, your wisdom is like the highest grace. Even those unjust people in heaven are not even a fraction as good as you."
"The action against Liyue does need to be postponed, at least not at this time."
"Morax is hiding very deeply. Even that mad family has hidden too many things in Liyue."
"If Glory wants to burn on the earth, it should at least not ignite sparks in Liyue. This will cause unimaginable obstacles to our grand plan."
"We have other options. At least we should not choose a land that is difficult to conquer, which will unnecessarily increase the loss of strength and sacrifice."
"Except for the immortals hidden in Jueyunjian and the market, the Gu family still has immortal-level combat power alive in the world. Any rash action will indeed lead to disaster."
“Based on the calculations of that man of unparalleled strategy, seeing a member of the Gu family still alive in the world, it is very likely that there are more hidden somewhere else.”
"Although I came here to seek justice for the younger generation, my actual purpose is probably to help Morax gather intelligence."
The blonde girl’s right hand slowly brushed the armrest of the throne. “Liyue hides a lot. The King of Mondstadt in the last era also broke free from the cycle of elements and even mastered a stronger power.”
"If we can't choose these two places, do you want me to spend a lot of time choosing a completely new place and delay our great cause ?"
"...Please forgive me, Princess. I was just thinking about how to ignite the flame of glory at a lower cost."
The monster knelt on one knee: "Although we are cursed, every dark moment will accelerate the process of our subjects' end."
" It would be a pity if Your Highness, the Princess, were the only one holding high the head of justice under the glory, without thousands of people cheering and crowning you with the will of the whole nation ."
"I am not interested in such regrets, but you are right. If the glory reappears, what is the meaning of restoring the country if there is no one left behind us?"
Ying waved her hand gently: "As for the selection of the location, I leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if Liyue and Mondstadt are not possible, the country where the new god has just taken office and has forgotten the essence of 'human' can definitely become a target for us to infiltrate easily."
The monster believed in himself: "After all, the knowledge we possess is the truth of the world!"
"Also, the country that took in some of our survivors seems to have people hiding in Liyue preparing to take action."
"If Liyue encounters a disaster that can force the Geogod to reveal some of his hidden cards, that would be the best situation."
"The flame of glory may be ignited from more than one place!"
The space rift opened, and as the man in black robe touched the air on the surface, he couldn't help but cough twice, then subconsciously raised his hand to look at his skin.
"Well, it's OK as long as it doesn't turn black. It's a bit difficult to force the second attack of the World-Suppressing Rock Spear. It seems that I don't have much time left."
The man in black robe sat back, closed his eyes and thought about something.
"Weird old man, stupid old man, old man, single rock..."
A big warm hand gently covered the black-robed man's head.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, I'm just saying, old man, you are really handsome."
Zhongli's right hand gradually exerted force: "But it seems that what I sensed just now was not like this."
"By the way, not long ago, Xiao Sanqiu used this kind of words to perfunctorily deal with me. Do you also want me to press you into the ground?"
"Then you should go and press him. I'm already old, and it's a bit inappropriate for you to press me."
The black-robed man handed the small bag to Zhongli and said, "The new sprouts I got from them are useless to me, but you should be able to use them, old man."
Zhongli took the bag with his left hand and gently touched the black-robed man’s head with his right hand.
"You, well, I just asked you to teach them a lesson. I didn't ask you to do anything unnecessary."
"Hey, come on, I know that you seem to have a great demand for this thing."
The man in black robe smiled complacently: "You just want me to go downstairs to breathe some fresh air and see if it can relieve the pain in my body."
"Otherwise, there is no need for me to teach them a lesson. You must have other means to use, right?"
"Ah, you are indeed a weird old man. Your style of doing things is really too gentle. If I were a girl, I would definitely marry you regardless of the consequences... mmmmmm!"
Zhongli pinched the black-robed man's cheek expressionlessly and said, "Do you want to stay with Ruo Tuo for a while? If you want, I can make arrangements. I'll put you in a coffin and let Xiao Sanqiu carry you over."
The man in black robe shook his head frantically, and Zhongli then loosened his hand and spared the boy's life.
"Don't mess around. I think some people are trying to guess your real purpose for going down there. They won't believe that I asked you to give them a warning."
"But if you go too far, they might actually take action against you. The Abyss Cult has a lot of hidden mysterious powers."
"Kan Ruiya, Kan Ruiya, hehe."
The black-robed man sneered twice, "If I hadn't been unable to get away five hundred years ago, I would have gone over to the muddy water of the abyss. I can only let the younger generation rush in the front. It's really a dereliction of duty for an old man like me."
"Just take care of yourself, and don't worry about the rest."
Zhongli gently straightened the wrinkles on the black-robed man's robe and said, "Liyue has me. You don't need to sacrifice anything else."
"After the upheaval a thousand years ago, you should have heard Xiaosheng talk about something. If you do anything beyond the rules again, the Gu family will really disappear , and no one can protect Xiao Sanqiu, not even me."
"Take care of yourself. I look forward to seeing the future of Liyue with you."
The man in black robe stared blankly in the direction where Zhongli disappeared. Then he gently waved his right hand, covering the cave entrance with a thin curtain of light, and then he laughed softly.
"Hehe, you are dreaming, weird old man. Why do you think I listened to the old saint and stayed here? Otherwise, I would have followed the example of my ancestor Gu Shen and went out to kill people everywhere. Who would be willing to stay in a place like this all day long?"
"This is the order left by the old saint."
The man in black robe leaned back in his chair. "Stay in Liyue, guard this land in secret, and be a rat walking under the sun. Tsk tsk tsk, it sounds very interesting."
"Brother Xiao must be confused. Hehe, that sentence is what the fussy psychopath Old Saint used to say often."
"To protect you."
"You say you are responsible for everything, but you must be tired after thousands of years of hard work."
The man in black robe took off his hood and revealed a pale but gentle smile.
"Although we, your earthly relatives, cannot help you slay the demon, it is certainly no problem for us to help you with small matters. Who wants to listen to your advice on taking care of your health, hehe."
"Pah, there should be other people alive now. Damn it, that hellish old saint told me so much that I was so moved. Maybe he has told other people all the same things."
The man in black robe pulled out a piece of amber that was polished to an extremely round shape from his arms. Inside was an extremely delicate model, engraved with the mountains and rivers of Liyue, as well as familiar smiles.
"Just stride forward, weird old man. As long as the Gu family survives, we, your earthly relatives, will always be by your side, even if it means death."
"In the future, I wish you a healthy life."
