Chapter 592: The Promise on the Mountaintop
After a complicated work arrangement, the atmosphere in the cave finally became like a "reunion of old friends" again. At least no one had a stern face anymore.
During this time, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun wanted Zhongli to listen to everything he had just said, but Ganyu, with a blushing face, hugged him directly, which successfully diverted Liuyun's attention.
You can talk about interesting childhood events at any time, but it is rare, even rare , for an apprentice to act like a spoiled child after a long absence. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to deepen the master-apprentice relationship.
"Hey, why is it so lively again?"
Gu Sanqiu walked in again: "Sister Ganyu, what's going on? Or are you going to stage a crane rider operation?"
"No, that's just their unique way of communication between master and disciple."
Zhongli motioned for Gu Sanqiu to sit next to him: "What did you do when you went out just now?"
"Oh, I just took a quick look around and helped Master Xueyue to clean up some ordinary people who came here to seek immortality and learn Taoism."
Gu Sanqiu spread his hands and said, "These people don't want to share Mora's share in the big pie of rebuilding Liyue, but they actually come to Jueyunjian to look for immortal fate. They are simply too idle."
Rebuilding Liyue involves a lot of aspects, which means that individuals from all walks of life and at different levels will be able to make money, and the relevant departments will also introduce some preferential policies, which are reasonable means to stimulate economic recovery.
To give the simplest example, even if you are an ordinary person who only knows how to move bricks, you can earn an extra 10 or 20 Mora for moving a whole stack of bricks. It's about that simple.
Anyone who still "takes the trouble" to come to Jueyunjian to look for immortality at this time is either a fool who wants to get something for nothing, or basically a fool with bad intentions.
Anyway, dealing with them would make Gu Sanqiu feel better, and it could be considered as helping Master Xueyue Zhuyang to be a cleaner for free.
"Didn't you kill them?"
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "No, a gust of wind blew them all down the mountain road. They didn't die, but they suffered."
"But Dad, can you explain to me the power I gained after becoming an immortal? I always feel like there are other powers waiting for me in the sky."
Zhongli nodded: "I know what you are talking about. In terms of universal rationality, you can call that kind of power a constellation. The stars in the sky represent you."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "In other words, there will always be a place for you in the Teyvat sky. Every star represents an independent individual. Is that true?"
"Of course I'm not bragging. The term Constellation was actually first used by astrologers."
Zhongli shook his head. "In Liyue at that time, the power displayed by those who were blessed by the Constellation was called 'natural power'. Other countries also had similar names."
"But after a certain elf who liked to travel around left behind legends, the name of the Constellation of Fate was used by many countries. A unified name can also facilitate communication."
Like to run around like an elf?
Could it be Ms. Alice, who the old man had to accompany personally to Liyue to prevent her from causing trouble?
It’s not that Ms. Alice’s strength is so strong that Zhongli needs to treat her with caution.
Putting aside her strength, the main problem lies in Alice's wild ideas and her super high ability to act to turn her ideas into reality at the speed of light.
This is what is giving Zhongli a headache. After all, if the other party really did this, it would be his own territory that would suffer. He doesn't want the terrain of a certain place in Liyue to become like Mondstadt.
"Osel seemed to have said that there are still people with blossoming destiny stars in this era. The standard for obtaining the power of the destiny constellation can't be to become an immortal with strength, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Zhongli laughed: "The fate constellation is unique. The way to light up the fate constellation varies from person to person. You only sensed the fate star after becoming an immortal. I can only say that your understanding is too poor."
…
Poor understanding?
His understanding should be okay, right?
The person who could quickly transform the Fierce Wind Seed into his own ability is now evaluated by the old man as having a poor understanding?
Zhongli seemed to have sensed Gu Sanqiu's dissatisfaction: "Yuhengxing, that little girl named Keqing, her life star has already blossomed, and it is only a matter of time before she obtains the power of the life constellation."
!
Gu Sanqiu was surprised, and then began to think about whether he should be shameless and let Keqing draw a tube of blood from him so that he could study her carefully.
The lighting of the destiny star and the destiny constellation does not require strength as a basis, which is useful news.
But since it is a "strongly personal" form of operation, he has no way of mass-producing a large number of Constellation Warriors.
If he can really do it, then he can indeed consider changing his title. As long as he does not offend certain supreme beings, there should be no problem for him to be the Teyvat Incense Burner.
However, considering that the process was ten thousand times more boring than the result, Gu Sanqiu suddenly lost interest in competing for world domination.
Zhongli stood up and said, "You guys can chat, we two can go out for a walk."
?
I just ran out using this excuse. Grandpa, are you worried that our old friends don’t know that we are going out to discuss something?
Gu Sanqiu followed Zhongli obediently and came to a high place to overlook the sea of clouds in the sky.
"After you go back this time, remember not to reveal my identity to anyone, especially to that girl Hu Tao."
Zhongli said, "I know that the girl guessed that I might be an immortal from the game Red Dust, so just keep this guess, and don't say anything more about the rest."
"Okay, but why?"
Zhongli showed a helpless look: "Even though you are taking care of her, the girl has become so naughty. If she knew I was Morax, she would definitely make a scene."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "Dad, what you mean is that you might be 'greeted' in various ways?"
For example, recommending that the old man have a super luxurious, unprecedented and ultimate funeral package?
And you ask this question four or five times a day?
"It's not much different from what you guessed. Xie Yue and the others wouldn't say anything nonsense. I've also reminded . The problem now is mainly with you."
Zhongli glanced at Gu Sanqiu who was pretending to be a good kid behind him and said, "You are too soft-hearted. I am worried that if Hu Tao acts like a spoiled child, you will tell everyone everything."
"Assisting me in hiding my identity is also a form of protection for Liyue . You must remember this."
?
Why do these words sound so familiar?
My name is Morax. I had to fake my own death to escape from a big plan and had to hide my true identity from everyone.
Even though he has lost the Heart of God, his mind and skills are still as strong as ever!
There is only one truth! (crossed out)
Gu Sanqiu came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I promise not to tell anyone."
"Forget your family's promise."
Zhongli smiled: "The world has its own laws. My child, we are just a drop in the ocean of time and space, and we will eventually meet our own end."
"Your immortal name, I believe you know something, we will need you in the future."
" I, Sha Yue and the others are all from the previous era. In this new era, only you are the real hope."
"Perhaps one day, we will have to leave with the times. Don't be sad or confused. This is the way of destiny."
"There is a place for Zhongli in the new era of Liyue, and Morax is just a passed god."
Gu Sanqiu suddenly chuckled: "Old man, are you going to say something like 'There is no ship in the new era that can accommodate you'?"
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I guess so."
"Then don't worry."
Gu Sanqiu hugged Zhongli's shoulders and said, "The future rests on my shoulders, so I can do whatever I want. Isn't that right?"
"You are a good child and you will not do evil."
"I know it won't happen, so you can't stop me from doing anything, right?"
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said, "I have seen that sentence in a storybook before. Although I felt shocked at the time, I felt more uncomfortable afterwards."
"Why?"
Gu Sanqiu stretched out his hand forward and clenched it.
"The new era doesn't have a ship to accommodate you, so I will build a sacred sky boat that can cross the universe's end. I will take you across the ages and let time bear witness to our existence!"
"The journey home to destiny? No, no, no, we only think about the journey home when we feel tired!"
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "Before that, no matter what era it is, I will take you to see all the endless and different world styles!"
"I am an era, and this era will always have a place for you!"
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.
"Then, I, your father, will wait for good news and look forward to your sacred sky boat."
"Oh, come to think of it, I almost forgot."
Gu Sanqiu reacted: "Old man, now that you are apparently dead, do I not need to call myself the Crown Prince of Liyue to the outside world? What do you think of the Emperor of Liyue?"
…
You bastard who can’t even be moved for three seconds!
Zhongli kicked Gu Sanqiu off the mountaintop without hesitation.
