At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 132 An Irresistible Condition: The Immortals Head to Earth
Zhongli looked at the arriving immortals, a complex expression appearing deep in his eyes.

Time flies.

He has walked the world for over six thousand years. For the first three thousand years, he wandered aimlessly across this land, seeking refuge from the weak humans struggling to survive on a land overrun by wild beasts.

Gradually, more and more humans gathered under his protection, and other demon gods were largely similar to him. During this time, the humans under the command of the various demon gods interacted with each other, living in peace and prosperity. It was also during this period that he befriended many demon gods.

However, this period of peace was short-lived. Three thousand years later, the War of the Demons broke out, and the demons fought each other for the throne, resulting in bloodshed, separation of families, and no place for souls to return.

Although he had no intention of vying for the throne, seeing that humanity under his protection had nowhere to go amidst the battles of the demons, he had no choice but to join the war and use force to suppress all the demons who had brought about the calamity.

During the Demon God War, the immortals and demon gods who protected humanity made a pact with him to protect the land of Liyue together. His pact with the immortals began at that moment and continues to this day, with each other being both teacher and friend.

Now, of the friends who were originally there, only these few remain.

"I've gathered you all here to discuss the future of Liyue, and your future as well. I initially intended to make a decision unilaterally, but after much consideration, I've decided to seek your opinions first," Zhong Li said.

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly, and Xiao will certainly obey." The young immortal, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, hurriedly said. To him, the Emperor was not only the main god of the contract, but also his master. The Emperor's words must be correct.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we immortals will certainly obey your divine decree," the blue-white crane said earnestly.

"Your Majesty, could something terrible be about to happen in Liyue? Why is everything so serious?" The immortal deer, whose entire body was filled with rock element, said in a low voice.

"Could it be that outsider?" the hunched old woman pondered for a moment before speaking.

She sensed a 'deity' arriving in Liyue while she was staying at Yujingtai, and that person made no attempt to conceal their presence. She was immediately alarmed and secretly observed them.

That 'deity' even ate a meal at his apprentice Xiangling's family restaurant.

At the time, she didn't recognize that 'Zhongli' was the Emperor, and sighed inwardly, "The Emperor's ever-changing abilities are truly incredible."

"Outsider? Ah Ping, what did you encounter?" asked the brown and white crane.

“It is indeed related to that person,” Zhongli said.

As soon as Zhongli spoke, all the immortals fell silent and listened attentively.

"That lord is the master from another world, namely the Tenri of that other world."

"The continent of Teyvat has developed some subtle connections with that world."

"Over the past year, many things in Liyue have vanished into thin air, including ordinary humans. This is because they have stumbled upon a passage to that world."

"There are many of those channels, and they are constantly changing. Even I can only perceive the disappearance of things, but I cannot perceive the existence of the channels."

Hearing Zhongli's words, the immortals were shocked. Was this something they could listen to? This already involved another world and its 'natural law'.

"Now that things have come to this, there are some things I must tell you." Zhongli looked at the astonished immortals. Although the immortals had all lived for two or three thousand years, there were some secrets they did not know, because knowing those secrets would only bring them harm.

"You all know, more or less, that the skies of Teyvat are a lie."

"But you don't know about the world beyond the false heavens."

"Beyond Teyvat lies the Abyss, the entire Teyvat is enveloped by the Abyss, the Abyss is constantly eroding Teyvat, this world is already heading towards death, this time is very short, perhaps a thousand years, perhaps several thousand years."

"Gulp~" The immortals breathed heavily upon hearing this. Even those who had cultivated their minds and bodies for thousands of years could not remain calm when they heard that the world was about to be destroyed.

Most of these immortals were born from the elemental forces that drifted between heaven and earth. They were elemental beings, born into the world and disappearing into the world after death.

The world itself is dying; the immortals, humans, everything in the world will disappear.

"How could this be... Is this the truth of the world?" The bluish-white crane snapped out of its daze.

"The turning point is the justice of that other world, isn't it, Your Majesty?" Granny Ping said, having understood something. While the immortals each had their own strengths in magical techniques, she was the best in wisdom and strategy after the fall of her old friend. She easily figured out the reason why the Emperor had summoned them.

“Yes.” Zhongli nodded: “The Heavenly Law of that other world is even more powerful than that of the one on Sky Island.”

"His world was in its very early stages of development, and in search of subordinates who could help him govern the world, he sent a wisp of divine thought to Teyvat."

“He gave me a condition that I could not refuse, which is why He called you here.”

"Your Majesty, what are the conditions?" The immortal deer felt its scalp tingle instantly. The matter was too big, so big that its hooves were trembling.

"Teyvat is going to be destroyed. He promised Liyue a planet, but the price was that the entire Liyue would be under His control and would collectively travel to another world."

"For the sake of the people of Liyue, I cannot refuse such a condition."

Zhongli said calmly that not only he could not refuse, but any of the Seven Gods who knew that Teyvat was about to be destroyed could not refuse such a condition.

Grandma Ping said, "Your Majesty, please speak frankly, what do you need us to do?"

"Yes, please speak frankly. This is a huge matter, and none of us can escape responsibility." The brown and white crane's voice trembled slightly.

"The survival of the entire Liyue... the entire Teyvat, such a huge matter, why did you only mention it now, Your Majesty?" The blue and white crane's eyes were turning black.

"It's useless to talk about it until a turning point appears." Zhongli shook his head helplessly. The one in the sky had fallen into a deep sleep because of the abyss, and Teyvat had become precarious as a result.

Even if that one hadn't fallen into a deep sleep, he didn't think Teyvat could last long and would eventually be destroyed.

Only then did the immortals realize just how much responsibility the Emperor had borne.

Yes, what can they do if we tell them about the fate of Teyvat?

“I have made a pact with the Lord of Heaven from that other world. All intelligent life in Liyue will be transferred to that other world, and I, along with all the immortals, will come under His command to protect the world for Him. If they do not wish to do so, my pact with the immortals will also end,” Zhongli said.

"Your Majesty!" The immortals were shocked. Terminating the contract meant giving them their freedom and no longer being His Majesty's subjects. This was unacceptable to them.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things. We immortals will certainly obey all your decrees," Granny Ping hurriedly said.

“Protecting Liyue is a pact between the Emperor and us immortals, and we will never break it,” the immortal deer said anxiously.

Zhongli said, "In that case, let's all go to the other world first."

"Obey the will of the laws of another world."

"That world allows intelligent life to become gods, and I hope that you can ascend to the throne of gods while protecting that world."

"After you ascend to the throne, and once Liyue moves away, it will surely prosper under the protection of many gods."

Zhongli's words once again stunned the immortals, leaving them somewhat dazed.

Ascending to the throne of gods? Does another world actually allow them to become gods? This is unbelievable! Just how powerful is that world? And how many gods must there be?

"Hiss..." The immortals came to their senses and took a deep breath.

"I understand, Your Majesty. You mean we should go there first to lay the foundation for Liyue. We will definitely do it," the eldest fairy deer said in a low voice.

Zhongli shook his head and solemnly said, "No, laying the foundation for Liyue can only be second. We must put 'protecting the world' and 'protecting humanity' first. The reason of that other world is 'love'."

"Only the will of Heaven cannot be defied. Remember this, remember this, you must remember this."

This was the first time the immortals had ever seen the Emperor so solemnly repeat the words "remember this" to them.

Zhongli looked at the immortals who had traveled with him for over three thousand years, as if an old father were entrusting his children who were about to embark on a long journey: "When the first ray of the morning sun rises, come with me to see that great man. At that time, you will go with that great man to that world."

"If possible, I hope you will establish friendly relations with the gods of that world."

Liyue are outsiders going to another world, and they must not allow the gods of that world to make a bad impression on them.

"Your Majesty, may I bring my disciples with me?" asked the blue and white crane.

Zhongli did not give a definite answer: "Gan Yu and Shen He? I will ask that person tomorrow." Gan Yu is a Qilin bloodline and is also an immortal. Although Shen He is not an immortal, he still possesses the power of an immortal. I believe that person will agree.

"My disciples are not mature enough yet, so I won't let them cause trouble." Grandma Ping shook her head regretfully, because she didn't dare to let her disciples take risks due to the uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, may I presume to ask what kind of planet that lord promised you?" the elder immortal deer asked softly.

A slight smile appeared on Zhongli's usually calm face: "That's a very large planet, no smaller than Teyvat."

"You'll know once you get there."

"Understood." The fairy deer nodded.

……

Time passed slowly, and the first rays of the morning sun fell on the bricks and tiles of Liyue Harbor, making the glazed tiles of Scarlet Cloud Slope reflect a golden light.

Luo Sheng slowly opened his eyes. He was not asleep. His divine sense did not have the concept of sleep. He opened the wooden door.

As I stepped out of my room, I saw Hu Tao walking down the corridor, carrying a three-tiered wooden food box. It was obvious that she had gotten up before dawn and gone out to buy breakfast.

"Oh my, Brother Luo, you're up so early too? What a coincidence, I just went out to buy some breakfast," Hu Tao said energetically.

"I didn't expect Hall Master Hu to get up so early," Luo Sheng said with a smile.

“I have the Eye of God, so my energy is a little more abundant,” Hu Tao said, then quickly added, realizing something, “Oh, I didn’t mean to brag.”

"I know." "Oh, Brother Luo, come and have breakfast with us. Breakfast should be piping hot, fresh out of the steamer." Hu Tao said as she walked into the pavilion and placed the food box on the small stone table.

"Dumplings dipped in vinegar, seafood buns, and Liyue soy milk."

"I wonder where the guest elder has gone. He usually gets up around the same time as me."

"Maybe he'll come after we finish breakfast," Luo Sheng said with a smile, watching Hu Tao, who was eating a piping hot bun and panting from the heat.

Hu Tao said, "That's just like being a guest elder. But don't worry about the guest elder not having eaten breakfast; someone will definitely treat you to a meal."

Every day, Zhongli was invited to tea and meals. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, he was always treated. The refined knowledge that the guest advisor possessed was something that wealthy people sought after.

"Young Master Luo is even more learned than Guest Elder Zhongli. Does he also have someone treating him to meals every day like Guest Elder?" Hu Tao looked curiously at Luo Sheng, who always seemed calm and composed.

He remains calm and composed in any situation, much like Zhongli.

"When I first arrived in Liyue, no one treated me to anything, but in my previous world, if I wanted, someone would treat me to something every day." Luo Sheng smiled. If he wanted, anyone with a discerning eye who could recognize his aura would come up to him and befriend him.

"It seems that learned people are all alike," Hu Tao said admiringly. Although she was a little curious about the world that Brother Luo came from, it was his secret, and she wouldn't ask unless he told her.

Everyone has secrets, and the extent of friendship between friends stops at these secrets that belong only to themselves.

"By the way, Brother Luo, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to travel to the seven kingdoms, or are you planning to settle down in one of them?"

"I won't stay in one place," Los Saint said with a smile. He would visit all seven countries, bringing back the gods and their retinues, as well as the powerful humans.

Currently, the only difficult thing for him to deal with is the Nata, since they value the land highly, and the Nata people are already inseparable from the land.

The other countries are easy to handle.

The easiest to win over was Inazuma, who would do anything to reunite with her sister.

However, this wisp of divine thought cannot sustain doing so many things; at most, it will exhaust its power after doing only one or two things.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes lit up, and she took out a flyer from her God's Eye: "That's right, Brother Luo."

"When traveling through Teyvat, accidents are inevitable. As for the arrangements for my afterlife, the only one in all of Teyvat who can give me peace of mind is my Hall of Rebirth."

"We will do our best to complete any business that is handled at Wangshengtang, even if it is handled in other countries."

"It just so happens that the funeral parlor is offering a 30% discount on services. Whether it's the wood for the coffin or a unique funeral style, everything can be customized. Brother Luo and I are friends, so I'm offering a 50% discount."

Hu Tao became more and more excited as she spoke, handing the flyer in her hand to Luo Sheng.

"I highly recommend this buy-one-get-one-free package. If any malicious person damages the tombstone, the cemetery can immediately replace it with a new one."

"..." Luo Sheng raised an eyebrow at the girl who was recommending the afterlife package to him: "The service is very good, but I don't think I'll need it."

"No need? How could that be? Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies. Everyone is a potential customer of the Rebirth Hall," Hu Tao said seriously.

Just then, footsteps were heard. Zhongli, who was leading the immortals back to Liyue Harbor, immediately returned to the Hall of Rebirth, where the immortals waited at the entrance.

When Zhongli saw Hu Tao enthusiastically promoting her afterlife package to the Heavenly Principle Lord of the other world, he felt his head start to ache. Luckily, the Heavenly Principle Lord didn't mind, otherwise he was afraid that Hu Tao would have vanished before he even returned.

“Master Hu, I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Luo. Could you please attend to your business at the Hall of Rebirth first?” Zhongli said.

Hu Tao took back the flyer with some regret: "Oh, okay, then I won't bother you and Brother Luo anymore." Although the promotion wasn't successful this time, there's always next time.

"Thank you for your trouble, Hall Master Hu." Zhongli nodded. He had temporarily taken up the position of guest elder in the Hall of Rebirth under the guise of a human named Zhongli, and he would fulfill his duties as a guest elder.

This is his contract with the previous head of the Rebirth Hall, and also his contract with Hu Tao.

He is the God of Contracts. The people of Liyue, the immortals, are all bound together by contracts, and these contracts constitute the peaceful and prosperous life of Liyue today.

"You're too kind," Hu Tao said with a smile, then hummed a tune as she walked away.

"Have you decided to bring all the immortals with me to my world?" Luo Sheng looked at Zhong Li with some admiration for the decisiveness and judgment of this most ancient of the seven gods.

While strength is important for living this long, the most crucial factor is having the judgment to guide the future. Otherwise, even the strongest god will stumble at some point and be unable to rise again.

"Yes, all the immortals await an audience with your holy countenance," Zhongli said.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't violate the rules I set, all the immortals in my world can pursue what they want as much as possible," Luo Sheng said with a smile as he stood up.

"For example, destroying civilizations and destroying ecosystems can allow a country to live in peace and prosperity for thousands of years. I highly approve of you and the immortals."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have arrived at Liyue Harbor first upon my arrival."

Of course, the most important thing is that you are right next to Liyue Harbor after you come out of the dimensional portal.

After Luo Sheng finished speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth. Zhong Li walked three steps behind him, indicating his own position.

At the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, the immortals had already transformed into human forms: two middle-aged people (a deer and a brown crane), a slender woman (a blue-white crane), a hunched old woman, a short boy, a girl with long blue hair and a pair of deep red Qilin horns on her head, and a girl with long white hair and a cold demeanor.

“Master…” The blue-haired girl with the unicorn horn nervously twirled her fingers in front of her.

The slender woman's voice carried a hint of sternness: "Gan Yu, calm down. What kind of behavior is this, so uneasy?"

"..." Gan Yu became even more nervous, and cold sweat appeared on her temples. She was originally handling official business in the General Affairs Department, but her master suddenly found her and told her a lot of 'secrets'. These 'secrets' made her dizzy, and her head was still spinning.

Now she has to obey the Emperor's decree to travel to another world with Lord Tianli for Liyue's sake, which makes her very nervous.

She's never encountered these things before. What if she makes a mistake?
Thinking of this, she looked at her junior sister Shen He. She knew that her master had taken in a new junior sister, but because she was usually too busy, she had only seen her once a few years ago. She didn't expect that her junior sister had already grown up.

As expected of my junior sister, she's not nervous at all, even though she's only a teenager. It seems my more than a thousand years of cultivation is still not enough.

"Senior sister, what's wrong?" The white-haired girl with a cold demeanor looked at Gan Yu.

"No, it's nothing. Aren't you nervous, Junior Sister?" Gan Yu asked softly.

"Nervous? Why?" Shen He said coldly. Her master told her to come along, so she would come along. Her master wouldn't harm her.

"Why..." Gan Yu looked at Shen He, whose expression hadn't changed, and her heart calmed down. If her junior sister wasn't nervous, why should she be...?

The soft sound of footsteps reached the ears of the immortals.

What came into their view was a young man of unparalleled beauty walking out of the Hall of Rebirth. His black eyes gleamed with a hint of gold, his face was gentle and serene, and he naturally exuded an aura of divine transcendence.

The aura was so faint that even immortals wouldn't be able to detect it.

Their Rock King Emperor always stood three steps behind the young man, placing himself in the position of a subordinate.

The immortals remained silent, quickly clasped their hands in a gesture of respect and bowed slightly. They were already prepared, so they were not stunned by the aura of the high-ranking deity.

"Eh..." Gan Yu hurriedly bowed upon seeing this. Is this the Lord Tenri from another world? So handsome... His aura is also very pleasant, without any scary feeling.

“Lord Tianli, they are the highest-ranking immortals of Liyue.” Zhongli stepped forward from behind Luo Sheng. There are many immortals in Liyue, but not many are well-known.

"Greetings, Lord of the Heavenly Principles of this other world. We immortals are born of nature and have no names. The immortal title given to me by the mortals of Liyue is True Lord of the Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building Cultivation," the middle-aged man with earthen-yellow hair said.

Another middle-aged man with a streak of red hair among his khaki hair said, "Greetings, Lord Tianli. My immortal title is True Lord of the Flowing Water and Die Mountain."

The hunched old woman said, "The immortals call me A-Ping, and my immortal title is Ge Chenlang City True Lord. I pay my respects to Lord Tianli."

The slender woman with red-rimmed glasses said, "My immortal title is True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind." She then looked to the side.

"These two are my apprentices, Shen He and Gan Yu respectively."

"Greetings, Lord Tianli," Shen He and Gan Yu said in unison.

"Are you ready?" Los Saint looked at the dignified immortals and smiled, "The passage from Teyvat to my world is a one-way street; once you go, there's no coming back."

"Yes, we are ready." True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang bowed slightly, his tone firm, but there was still some reluctance in his voice.

After all, once they left Teyvat, they could never return, but for the sake of the people of Liyue and the Emperor, they had no choice but to go.

The world will be destroyed in a thousand years, and the stories that happened here will become a permanent memory of the past.

The immortals then looked up at Liyue Harbor. People were busy under the rising sun, and the familiar coastline was rippling with waves. They looked back and gazed up at the towering Tianheng Mountain, and finally at the distant mountains. They hoped to remember their homeland for the last time.

"Let's begin, Lord Tianli." Zhongli sighed inwardly as he looked at the reluctant immortals. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to do it.

Luo Sheng raised his hand, activating his omnipotent divine power and spatial rules, and a dimensional passage appeared before the immortals.

His wisp of divine thought can form an anchor point with the Earth's physical body.

In other words, he can directly use the anchor point to attract a dimensional portal to a designated location.

hum~
Spatial fluctuations appeared, and a pitch-black hole instantly appeared above the immortals' heads, its powerful gravity pulling them up.

"Your Majesty, we'll be waiting for you over there," True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun said to Zhongli one last time.

"Yes, see you soon." Zhongli nodded.
