Original God, but the real world

Chapter 86 85-Action
Ying felt a little bit awkward for a moment.

She once wanted to find the Seven Gods and get news about her brother from them.

But Morax is already dead. Even if he really knows something, she can't possibly get the relevant information from his body, right?

She doesn't have the ability to summon souls.

That means there is no need for Ying to stay in Liyue.

Anyway, the intended purpose is no longer possible, and there seems to be no other value in staying here.

But... maybe the immortal knows?

She has already wasted a lot of time here, and it would be a bit unwilling if she returned empty-handed.

"Anyway, if you want to get in touch with [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis], maybe I can help you."

Tartaglia said with a smile.

Actually, you want to get in touch.

Ying blinked her eyes, "Thank you for your help then."

She did not resist Tartaglia's "good intentions" because she firmly believed that Tartaglia was using her.

For this reason alone, there was no need for her to refuse.

Besides, no matter what Tartaglia wants to do, as long as we know that he wants to come into contact with [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis], it won't be difficult to guard against it.

Paimon tilted his head and looked at the two of them, and found that the atmosphere between them was really weird.

"Give me some time. I'll go find someone who can definitely help you get in touch with the [Immortal Ancestor Transmutation]."

The person that Tartaglia was talking about was, of course, Zhongli.

At the beginning, the value of the Immortal Sending Ceremony was to help the Seven Stars gain the legitimate right of inheritance.

Of course, the Seven Stars should indeed hold such a ceremony for the Emperor.

Because this is the reward that Morax deserves for his more than 3,000 years of rule. A god who asks nothing from humans, he established the vast territory of Liyue and gave all the people on this land a safe and prosperous life.

Although this little bit of respect is not worth mentioning, the necessary performance work should still be done well.

That’s why the Seven Stars value Zhongli.

This is a ceremony that cannot be rude and cannot afford to make mistakes.

Looking around Liyue today, if one wants to find a Liyue person who is proficient in the ritual of sending immortals, one can probably only start the search from the Hall of Rebirth.

It was impossible for them to look for immortals, so naturally they had no other choice.

Although Hu Tao, the current head of the Wangsheng Hall, is also a good candidate, he is still too young after all.

Hu Tao is certainly a genius, but no one believes that she can handle the entire [Ceremony of Sending the Immortals] now.

Therefore, the only one who could see it was the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, Zhongli.

Ningguang's compromise was not exposed.

Right now, Qixing's goals and desires are the same. If she easily gives up this position, she will naturally be hostile to Qixing.

As for Ningguang, she has given up the confrontation with the immortal.

But for the Seven Stars, they have not compromised easily.

On this basis, they still need to compete with the immortals for the right to handle [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis].

So Zhongli is still very important.

The only problem is... this person is always unhurried and doesn't seem to be in the least bit interested in starting the [Ceremony of Sending the Immortals].

The planning and actual preparation of the ceremony of inviting the immortals took a lot of time.

The annual fixed ceremony has been passed down to this day, and people have become much more relaxed.

Even so, Ningguang, who was hosting the ceremony that day, had to give up her work and devote herself to rehearsal and practice.

The ceremony of sending away immortals is even rarer than the ceremony of inviting immortals, so naturally it also requires many precious objects.

And Zhongli didn't seem to have made any preparations in advance.

Even if the ceremony must be performed on a certain auspicious date, what about the things needed for the ceremony? These can always be prepared in advance, right?

But Zhongli said nothing.

If Hu Tao hadn't been a little off, but this kind of ritual couldn't tolerate even a little off, Zhongli would have been kicked out by them long ago.

It's too slow.

Zhongli still sat quietly in the Hall of Rebirth.

The situation was somewhat different from what He expected.

Ningguang is one of the seven stars, and her opinion alone is not enough to influence the overall situation.

The power and status among the seven stars are equal. She may have a greater reputation, but in the final analysis, she is no more important than the other seven stars.

But at this critical moment, her tilt and shift was enough to make a difference.

In the confrontation between the Immortal and the Seven Stars, the defection of any one of the Seven Stars is enough to end the confrontation.

Because the immortals are indeed more powerful than the Seven Stars.

They already possessed extremely powerful military forces, and were also his colleagues who had followed him in his conquests and laid the foundation for Liyue's current strength.

What the immortals lack is an opportunity for the public to accept them.

After all, in the past history, everything related to immortals has almost disappeared.

People don’t even know the name of the Three Eyes and Five Manifestations, so it is unrealistic to expect them to support the immortals.

Of course, they saved many lives of Liyue people in the past history.

But that’s all in the past.

People have forgotten about immortals, especially ordinary people.

But if Ningguang turned against him and supported the Immortal, her support alone would be enough.

The immortal already had the advantage, and the only shortcoming was made up by Ningguang.

As long as one person surrenders first and is valued by the immortal, naturally someone will choose to support the immortal.

So, in the future this city will be governed by immortals?
Zhongli shook his head.

He was very clear about his followers.

They are different from Ganyu and it is impossible for them to focus on governing government.

In other words, they probably just came to take a look, warn the Seven Stars, and then left.

This was also Zhongli's initial expectation.

As long as Qixing's attitude is tougher and his words are softer, this matter will naturally be settled.

But things changed with the appearance of a man He knew nothing about.

"Jiang Qing... is such an interesting person."

If He didn't pay attention, He would indeed not know what was happening in this city.

But on the other hand, as long as he is interested, Zhongli can know everything in this city.

Jiang Qing's recent activity finally paid off, and he gradually came into the sight of the God of Rock.

What Jiang Qing did was indeed worthy of His attention, but what Zhongli valued more was that Jiang Qing had been getting something for nothing from the beginning to the end.

He made many deals, but not once did he use his own stuff.

The key is that he can satisfy other traders every time.

This is a rather rare ability, which requires not only one's speaking ability but also a good grasp of intelligence.

Where did he get such crucial information?

Zhongli was a little curious.

But He did not take any action.

The days of the Rock God Morax have passed, and he is now the mortal Zhongli.

Of course, mortals will have many curiosities and doubts, but not every doubt needs an answer.

At least Zhongli doesn't need an answer.

······
Jiang Qing has been a bit relaxed lately.

He has already made all the influence he could in his plan, and the next step is to help the immortals establish a new ruling system.

But Jiang Qing has little experience in this area, and may not have the ability in this area as Ningguang and Ganyu.

It is better to remain silent than to speak rashly.

Since there was absolutely nothing to do, Jiang Qing had to think about whether to leave Liyue and then wait quietly for the end of the copy.

He really didn't know what to do.

Instead of staying in this city and waiting for the next storm, Jiang Qing felt that it might be a good choice to leave.

His power is limited to this, and the value of the intelligence has been almost used up.

Unless someone provides him with a platform to communicate with the immortals or the Seven Stars, this is all Jiang Qing can do.

Jiang Qing thought for a moment, but was finally stopped by Hu Tao.

"You said you wanted to leave Liyue?" Hall Master Hu blinked, "What big dream are you having?"

"Zhongli just promised me that he would officially start the [Sending the Immortals Ceremony]. Are you leaving Liyue?"

"But there's nothing I can do during the [Sending Immortals Ceremony], right?" Jiang Qing spread his hands, "If I go, at most I can just be your bag-carrying brother."

It's not like he hadn't considered getting involved, but he really couldn't find a way to do this kind of thing.

Does Jiang Qing need to use his memory to collect the Yebo Stone or the Neon Flower Fragrance Cream that he will use in advance?
Hu Tao himself doesn't know enough about these things, so how can Jiang Qing, a beginner who has just read ancient books for a few days, understand them?

But if he doesn't participate in this, wouldn't he be just a witness like Ying?

Ying has something special about her, and so does he, but it is clear that Jiang Qing's specialness is different from Ying's.

“Even if you have to carry a bag, you must go.” Hu Tao folded her arms and said seriously, “This is the most tragic moment for the people of Liyue, but also the most glorious moment for the Hall of Rebirth.”

"I think there will be no such opportunity in the past or in the future."

Walnut definitely didn't want to miss the funeral of a real god.

"Ok."

What else can Jiang Qing do?

This is his teacher. The key point is that Walnut has basically been helping him all the time, and he has not given much in return to Walnut.

Hu Tao had a request, and Jiang Qing couldn't easily refuse it.

The girl smiled and patted Jiang Qing's shoulder gently.

"Although I know that you joined the Wangsheng Hall only for some benefits, since I did not reject you at that time, I will also train you well."

"You don't like to participate, but it's always a good opportunity to be part of the funeral of a god."

What is more important is the impression score.

Jiang Qing would not hide too much from Hu Tao, just as he would not hide anything from Eula.

Jiang Qing did not talk to them about the purpose.

But he did not deliberately conceal the action from these two people.

It is precisely because of the impression points accumulated from these actions that Hu Tao is so optimistic about Jiang Qing.

No one's support and optimism can be without reason. If one's performance is mediocre, then one will naturally have to bear the price of being ignored or even despised by others.

The world is so big, other people don’t have the time to discover the value of others one by one.

"Thank you so much, teacher." Jiang Qing thanked him sincerely.

I may not like it, but since the other party is considering me, it is not difficult to say thank you.

"Don't call me teacher!" Hu Tao held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly.

As a student, Jiang Qing is actually quite qualified.

The only thing about the title "teacher" was that Hu Tao always felt that the other party was making fun of her.

Jiang Qing naturally agreed without saying anything to refuse.

"Oh, right, Hall Master." Jiang Qing suddenly remembered something, "We held a ceremony to send off the Immortal Ancestor for the Immortal Transformation. This should be a commission from the Seven Stars, right?"

"Didn't Qixing pay the bill?"

"Of course not." Hu Tao shook her head. "Qi Xing has already paid the bill, but Zhongli said that he has a way to get enough Mora from others."

"This way, Wangshengtang can get double the profits."

It was indeed Zhongli’s arrangement.

If the job of spending money was also given to Nanahoshi, Tartaglia would have no chance to intervene at all.

At that time, he could only guess where the [Immortal Ancestor's Transformation] might be hidden and try his luck.

Zhongli did this in order to allow Tartaglia to come into contact with the [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis].

He had already taken the Heart of God. When Tartaglia finally found the [Golden House] after going through untold hardships, he discovered that the Heart of God was not there at all.

He has already taken action, so it is impossible for him to look back halfway.

Then the only choice left is to go all the way to the end.

Jiang Qing nodded and said, "There should be quite a few chambers of commerce willing to support the ceremony of sending the immortals. I believe that Mr. Keqing will not let you down, Hall Master."

I'm afraid Hu Tao doesn't know that Zhongli's chosen partner is Tartaglia.

Seriously speaking, if He wants to choose a partner, most of the Chamber of Commerce presidents in Liyue Harbor will not refuse.

This is equivalent to political donations, and it will always be useful.

But Zhongli chose Tartaglia.

To say that it was not intentional would be a bit biased.

"I didn't want to agree to this." Walnut sighed, "If we let an outsider get involved in this kind of work, there might be problems."

"But Zhongli insisted on doing it."

"He also said he wanted to take this opportunity to pay off the bills he had sent to the Hall of the Dead."

Having said this, Hu Tao looked helpless.

"I don't care about that now Mora, but he happens to be the host of the ceremony."

Hu Tao couldn't dissuade Zhongli either.

If she could restrain Zhongli's actions, she wouldn't have to stuff bills into the account of the Wangsheng Hall every day for reimbursement by him.

"It's okay." Jiang Qing comforted him, "If it's a chamber of commerce within Liyue, I'm sure they will be very sensible."

Political donations are taboo for donors to make comments.

This is an act of seeking shelter, equivalent to the weak asking the strong for an opportunity.

On this basis, no one will criticize those who accept donations.

They have all reached the level where they are qualified to make political donations, so how could they not know about the twists and turns?

"We can only hope so." Walnut was not completely reassured.

She is right.

If they were merchants in Liyue Harbor, they would indeed be very well behaved and would not make any unnecessary movements.

Unfortunately, the partners chosen by Zhongli were the fools who had always coveted the [Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis].
