After meeting Zhongli in Dihuazhou, you can tell from his tone that, in his opinion, whether it is the smooth "businessman" Ningguang or the disrespectful Keqing. Are excellent people.

Then, Zhongli will take us to find the "wild glass lily". According to previous clues, we can know that this dust god who played an important role in Zhongli's long life finally met him for the first time in a field of wild glass lilies. Zhongli was holding his own funeral. At this time, he chose the wild glass lily as if it were just the first time he saw it in life. Maybe it was also to commemorate the dust god. (It’s hit, it’s hit!)

At this time, Zhongli proposed that singing can be used to make the wild glass lily bloom. But because the song the traveler sang was the latest single from "Mondstadt Idol - Barbara", the wild glass lily turned directly into a (Cross of Teyvat) flower and attacked the traveler. Finally, with the help of Wang Xiaomei, Liyue Qixing's assistant, Gan Yu, we got the wild glass lily.

In fact, there is a lot of important information revealed in this paragraph. First of all, Gan Yu's identity is a hybrid of Qilin and human. Therefore, she is both a human and an immortal. From such a character who "is both, but neither" puts forward thoughts about the death of Emperor Yanwang, we can see the attitudes of humans and immortals towards Emperor Yanwang.

First of all, as a human being, Gan Yu could not imagine what would happen to Liyue without the Emperor Yan. This also shows from the side that the distrust of human beings by the immortals in the mountains comes from the fact that the Liyue people "do not know where their way out is." (Just like during the exam, the teacher will highlight the key points every time. One day the teacher suddenly stops focusing on the key points, and the candidates with middle and lower grades will panic.)

But as a fairy beast, Gan Yu also You can calmly accept the fact that the death of Emperor Yan will end the contracts between all immortals and Liyue, thus ending the era of human and divine activities. It is not difficult to see from Gan Yu's subsequent personal plot that some immortals who are related to humans can no longer live alone. When Gan Yu got a vacation and no longer dealt with Liyue's affairs, what he felt was not "relaxed" but "lost".

Then we can know from Gan Yu’s words that Zhongli is more than 6,000 years old and is the oldest among the seven rulers in the world. Over the course of thousands of years, the seven rulers of the world have been constantly alternating. Only the two gods Morax and Barbatos have never exchanged. Even the Thunderbolt General of Inazuma Kingdom, which will be released in the next version, has also experienced the change of throne.

Among the seven rulers in the world, the youngest is the God of Grass in Sumeru, only five hundred years old. (It is estimated that he ascended the throne during the period of the destruction of Kanria.)

Farewell to Gan Yu, we met the Fools again. Due to the news of the death of Emperor Yanwang, Liyue Port is now considered to be "a storm is coming." time". A diplomatic department with "malicious intentions" like the Fools will definitely be targeted by Ningguang and put under more control. As a guest of Dadalia, Zhongli's attitude was equivalent to that of the Fools. That's why the Fools specially reminded Zhongli to be careful in his words and actions in such a tense environment.

Zhong Li learned that he was cheating on food and drink, and that the Shengsheng Hall where he was working was also interrogated by Qianyan's army. He was worried that Hutao would not be able to cope as the new head of the Shengsheng Hall, so he decided to go back and have a look. (One thing to say is that with Hu Tao’s blundering character, what should be a headache is that he can’t find out anything, and he has to go to the Qianyan Army who is facing Ningguang.)

In order to prevent Dadalia There was rebellion in Liyue, so Traveler and Paimon came to the Golden House where the Immortal Ancestor's Fa Shen was hidden. Because it was already known when Mondstadt had a confrontation with the "Lady", the executive of the Fools, that the goal of the Fools' visit to the Seven Kingdoms was to collect the world for the Queen of the Winter Kingdom (who is also the Ice God of the Winter Kingdom). Seven ruling gods. (The Heart of God is a more advanced external magic organ that can only be possessed by the Seven Consuls in this world. Although it is not known what the effect is, Wendy, who had the Heart of God taken away, did not seem to receive any fatal effects. Influence. And summoning Tevalin and using the wind element were as easy as ever)

When Traveler and Paimon arrived, all the Thousand Rock Army guarding the Golden House had been defeated. . Here, Dadalia also showed his contempt for travelers, and said that he followed the Queen of Ice's will and came to the Immortal Ancestor's Law to obtain the Heart of God from the Rock King. Dadalia struck the heart of Immortal Ancestor Fashu with a black tiger, but found that Immortal Ancestor Fashu was just an empty shell with nothing inside. After becoming angry, he started to fight with the travelers.

Of course, the traveler successfully eliminated Dadalia, who was unable to bear the weight due to the use of the Demon King's weapons. (And since then, she has been greedily coming to him every week to collect all kinds of materials.) However, Dadalia is also considered to have an above-average IQ. There is no heart of God in the Immortal Ancestor's Law, and those who know about the Heart of God will only travel. and Dadalia. So the belated traveler and Dadalia who was defeated by the traveler did not get the Heart of God, which means that the Immortal Ancestor's Law was originally empty. Therefore, the body of the Rock King is most likely fake. , is "cheating death".

Dadalia had no choice but to activate a backup plan, using the imitation No Taboo_ to liberate the whirlpool Demon God Osel who was suppressed by the rock gun under Guyun Pavilion.

Once the demon god revives, Liyue Port will be in danger. At that time, in order to save the innocent people of Liyue Port, Emperor Yanwang who faked his death will have to show up.

The demon god in the whirlpool resurrected, and the powerful force was beyond the ability of mortals to resist. The recruits in the Qianyan Army were affected by the demon god's power and could not even stand firm. At this critical juncture, the Immortal and Liyue Qixing finally joined forces. After using the enhanced final machine to attack the whirlpool demon Ocell, Ocell was temporarily suppressed.

At this time, the fools came to make trouble, and the immortals lent their power to the travelers. (Grandma Ping's Shockwave Eternal God) In the end, the Fools were repelled.

And Osel in the sea took advantage of this gap and immediately took out a vitality pill and unleashed a meteor shower that destroyed the world.

(Just say this is an all-blue meteor shower, doesn’t it look like your all-blue ten-draw)?

In the end, the defense line was unable to retreat, and Ningguang decided I want to blow up the Qunyu Pavilion that I have worked so hard to build. Use the power of the Jade Pavilion's fall to suppress the demon god Osel who chose me.

This section is very much like a Chinese classical tragedy. First, let me show you a very magical one that can fly in the sky. The interior is decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, and is a beautiful jade pavilion filled with rare treasures and antiques. Then, I will tell you how its owner made it so magnificent step by step. Finally, due to a well-known last resort, the reluctant owner personally gave up this treasure that was her brainchild. Moreover, Chinese classical tragedy gives you despair and gives you a little bit of hope.

When Ningguang looked at the ruins of Qunyu Pavilion that had been blown up on the sea, he said, "Goodbye, my old friend. We say goodbye today in order to have the opportunity to reunite again in the future." "Small hopes" such as "rebuilding Qunyu Pavilion" have been put on the surface.

Then there is the deep "big hope", which is that when the Yanwang Emperor passes away, when the Xian family joins forces and is unable to do anything, when the indiscriminate bombing of the terminal machine cannot suppress it, the small people in Liyue Port will Small mortals can make their own sacrifices before the great righteousness and turn the tide. This is the generosity of self-sacrifice and the greatness of self-reliance.

The falling jade pavilion was like a star, falling from the sky and exploding into a dazzling flame. It shows that the era of the devil has come to an end. Even if you lose the Rock King, the devil who caused chaos, you will still taste the "celestial star made by humans"!

When everything has settled, looking back at Liyue Port for the rest of Ji Hou’s life, it is still so peaceful.

What the immortals refused to give in to was the contract to protect Liyue. What they protect is only "Liyue" itself. Liyue's mountains and rivers cannot be transferred, Liyue's land and forests will not be polluted, and Liyue's thousands of creatures will not wither. This is the protection of the immortals.

(According to Mondstadt's description of the Wolf King of the North Wind, the first point to become the Seven Rulers in the world is to "protect mankind". The immortals only guard the mountains, rivers and land, hiding in the mountains, and don't pay attention at all. People's livelihood economy. Zhenyue Zhuyang punishes those who are forced to go to the mountains to search for supplies. Mandatory is indifferent to those who are enthusiastic about the situation. The whole situation of Liuyun Jiufeng Zhenjun. Just a word of "suppression". Maybe this is the reason why these immortals, who are also demon gods, did not become the Seven Rulers in the world)

And the Seven Stars protect the "Liyue people". Villages in Liyue are faced with the problem of an aging population in which young laborers are constantly leaving, leaving only the elderly and children behind. The city of Liyue is facing the continuous elimination of old-fashioned industries, and handicrafts and brewing are replaced by newer technologies. Liyue's power is faced with how to mediate with other countries that are eyeing it and turn the tide.

It can be said that the immortals maintained all the prosperity of Liyue in the past. Qixing looks forward to Liyue's various future developments.

But the essence of both parties should return to the "now" peace and stability of Liyue.

When the little girl came to the crowd and asked why she was not afraid of the disaster just now, the immortals were relieved. The power that supports this girl is not only the immortals, but also the Qianyan soldiers who are as ordinary and weak as the little girl, but dare to sacrifice.

The excessive contract is still grateful for the immortal's efforts, but over the years, Liyue's problems, large and small, no longer need to rely on the power of the immortal to solve them. Even though he is a small man with boundless ambition and fragile blood, he can still bear the burden of the entire Liyue.

Liyue is grateful for the hard work of her seniors, but when her seniors are no longer dependent on her and Liyue can stand on her own feet, it is the time for her seniors to hand over power. This is also the reason why Emperor Yanwang decided to fake his death and then hand over power to Liyue Qixing. It was also the message that Emperor Yan Wang wanted to convey to Liyue Qixing and the immortals by feigning death.

The Liyue Seven Stars were not achieved overnight. Although they are mortals, they have also experienced the accumulation of the Seven Stars of the past generations, passing on the experience and lessons of each generation, and constantly exploring, to form a business called "trade" network of contracts. The contract of the "Contract Country" still exists, but it is now continuing to maintain this country that has stood for 3,700 years in a happier way.

When Liyue Qixing realizes that they are no longer suitable for this era, they will also hand over power to their next successor.

Just like now, Liyue Seven Weeks hopes that the immortals can trust the Liyue people and truly hand over power to the Liyue Seven Stars selected by the Liyue people themselves.

At the end of the story, we arrived at Beiguo Bank, where we saw Zhongli hand over his Heart of God. In the lady's words, Zhongli's fake death was to gather all the undercurrents under the water and make them explode in one go.

Let’s go through what happened from the beginning to the present.

First it was the era of melee between demons. Now the demon god Osel, who has a whirlpool left in the world, has passed this time. It can be seen that even opponents like the whirlpool demon Osel, who gave Zhongli a headache, can be defeated by humans. The people of Liyue can really walk independently in the world.

Then there is the conflict between the immortals and the Liyue people, the arrogance of the immortals and the fragility of the Liyue people. The immortals who live in seclusion outdoors know the least information, but they can also maintain the greatest restraint. They cooperate with Qixing in times of crisis, and when they look back at Liyue Port after the disaster, they begin to try to understand the hearts of the people.

Finally, there is the conflict between Liyue and external forces, and the pursuit battle between Liyue Seven Stars and the Fools. Ningguang represents the smoothness of "not offending anyone", and Keqing represents the firmness of "the bottom line will never waver". The Seven Stars of Liyue not only continued to protect Liyue after the death of Emperor Yanwang. They also quickly stabilized the various forces in Liyue during the vacuum period after the death of Emperor Yanwang, taking the place of the gods. Take back all the important rights and hold them firmly to prevent riots.

The above issues are all handled very well.

After experiencing the changes in Liyue over the years, Zhongli wanted to know whether this land of walking with the gods was ready to enter the next era? So he teamed up with the Queen of the Winter Solstice Kingdom, who sent the executive officer Dadalia to cause trouble in the city to test whether the people of Liyue were ready to deal with various emergencies.

When the matter is completed, Zhongli will hand over his God's Heart and acquiesce in his attitude to let the Queen of Winter Kingdom continue her plan.

The reason why Zhongli kept the Heart of God until the matter settled down before handing it over was because he was also worried that things would get out of control.

Just like Ruotuo Dragon King, he is constantly worn away by time. He can also feel that he has gradually failed to keep up with this era and can no longer become the leader most suitable for this era. Therefore, he must test all the worst-case scenarios one by one while "he still has the ability to control the situation."

If the whirlpool demon Osel is out of control now, Zhongli still has the power to suppress it. It's better than living in old age and watching the ups and downs of Liyue Port. If an unspeakable conflict breaks out between the immortal and the people of Liyue, he can also mediate. It's better than being worn down to the point of being as powerless as Ruoduo Dragon King, with only blind hatred left. If there was a conflict between Liyue and the Winter Kingdom, as the Seven Rulers of the Earth, he could still mediate with the Ice Queen. It is better than dying or abdicating like the other five gods two thousand years ago, and then being mermaided.

Perhaps it is not the most appropriate time to launch such a level of unrest. But since everyone knows that stretching one's neck is a knife, and shrinking one's neck is a knife, then long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain, and it is better to choose a day than to hit it——

Today! Just fake death! Just riot! It’s a contradiction!

Complete all the tests in one breath, ask Zhongli, the Seven Stars of Liyue, the Immortals, the Fools, and the people of Liyue to ask everyone related to the contract to hand in an answer sheet, and then take another breath Solve all problems.

When all the answers are satisfactory,

Zhongli can really feel relieved to hand over power.

In Zhongli’s personal mission, we will also follow Zhongli to solve two remaining things.

Believers of the Goddess of Salt will hope that travelers will help them open the ruins of the ancient country of Helius. After entering the ruins of the ancient country, they find that the goddess they believe in has turned into a salt flower. And the most unacceptable thing is that the person who killed the Salt Demon God with her own hands turned out to be her most trusted lover - an ordinary, unnamed, human king.

The goddess she believed in may have been killed by people with different opinions because she did not hand over power in time and led her tribe to flee.

The last thing is that the seal of Ruotuo Dragon King was loosened, and the good and evil sides of Ruotuo Dragon King escaped. The evil side was transformed into a little girl because of its strong power. In the mines of Liyue The miners were kidnapped and used to break the seal that existed thousands of years ago. The good side of Ruotuo Dragon King attached itself to mortals, helping Traveler and Zhongli complete the seal again.

Perhaps this powerful Dragon King did not figure out a way to reconcile with his own power before wear and tear completely deprived him of his consciousness, so in the end, he was deprived of his pair of eyes that could see clearly. Let the eyes of the world be sealed into darkness again.

Finally, it’s time to summarize again.

Zhongli has a stronger “divine nature” than Wendy. When he does things, he always maintains a very stable state, allowing everything to move in the theoretically most appropriate direction within the righteousness and dharma. He is a God with good intentions, choices, wisdom, and does not care about gains and losses.

He was needed to clean up an area in an era of chaotic demons, so he drew his gun and stood up without any regrets.

It was necessary for him to put down his power in the era of stability, so he suddenly abdicated and took it easy.

Finally, Zhongli’s original contract is used as the ending of all stories——

In this world, demons and gods are rising together. Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people.

I just want to clean up the four directions and protect a corner of the floating world.

The sky moves and everything changes, and the mountains and seas take shape.

Stars are born in the wasteland, as bright as the sun
