I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

“Of course, I will pay you in advance.” Zhongli pointed to the [Holy Sword of Death], which was gradually separating from Lu Aike’s soul, and then to the little girl’s wounds, which were gradually solidifying: “I have restored your body to normal, revived your life force, restrained your soul, and revived your potential.”

"You are exactly the same as you were before when you were normal. In fact, because your soul is restrained by me, you can live freely in the real world and pursue the life you want."

"And all you have to give up is a tiny bit of time and work."

"So, are you willing to agree to this contract?"

Star God Ai Lu Ke pondered for a moment, then touched her heart and slowly nodded: "That's possible, but what about work?"

"You'll find out soon enough." After saying this, Zhongli turned to look at Nils beside him, his expression calm: "I've decided to help you save this world."

“No, this isn’t helping me.” Niels quickly waved his hand. “I’m just an ordinary stranger, not a creature from this planet.”

“In my opinion, having been entangled with this world for so long, you can already be considered a creature of this world.” Zhongli chuckled and shook his head: “I can also offer you a job opportunity, and if you are willing, you will sign a contract with me.”

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m not that little girl over there.” Niels raised an eyebrow. “A ruthless boss would have to pay a hefty price to hire an employee like me.”

"How about resurrection?" Zhongli smiled. "Perhaps you didn't notice, but I did."

"My friend, the Golden Fairy Cortori's current soul composition is 30% from the former 20th generation regular hero Lila and 70% from the Star God Lu Aike in front of you."

"I only need a tiny fragment of the soul to resurrect it from nothingness. It's that simple."

"Um???"

Niels looked incredulous: "This is impossible. This not only goes beyond common sense, but it even exceeds the 'truth' that this universe can contain. My civilization has already proven the limits of most technologies. What you're describing..."

"But I am Zhongli."

Zhongli spoke calmly, making him sound like a delusional person.

"So, at least for now, these things are within my capabilities."

“Oh. Is that so?” Niels clearly thought Zhongli was just bragging: “To be honest, I think you are indeed very strong, even stronger than the Star Gods like Ailuco, and almost omnipotent. However, as a being in this universe, there are always things that can be done or cannot be done.”

"In my opinion, what you're saying is simply impossible."

Zhongli was not angry at such a rebuttal; he simply stated calmly:

"In the world I was born in, in that place called Teyvat, in that kingdom called Liyue, there is a saying."

"Seeing is believing."

“You might think it’s impossible when I tell you this, but at least in my opinion, it’s entirely achievable.”

"You'll see."

Zhongli stopped talking to Niels about things that couldn't lead to a conclusion.

He reached out again and gently touched this illusory, mirror-like world.

Click! Click!

It sounded as if the glass wall was slowly shattering.

The entire world was suddenly covered with spiderweb-like, pure black cracks.

"Let's start with the first one, the Moon-Sighing Beast."

Zhongli's words rang in the ears of the Star God Ailuc and the Star God Niels.

These two beings, far beyond ordinary people, both sensed something unusual and felt fear as they looked at Zhongli's quietly standing figure.

That is the world, this planet, and the existence that exists before fear.

That was their powerful bodies trembling with fear of the being before them.

Click! Click!

The world is breaking apart at an accelerated pace once again.

Perhaps it took a second, perhaps several minutes, but by the time Niels's brain could process it, the whole world had already completely faded away.

The once spacious and bright space has suddenly transformed into a desolate desert.

The place where Zhongli and the others stood was a city that had been completely rotten and unrecognizable by the wind and sand.

Right in the middle of these ruins, in front of Zhongli and the others, lay a strange, placenta-like monster emitting a pale white halo.

-----【The First Beast of the Sighing Moon】

Niels whispered this to himself.

---That is, Elmelia Dufner, a poor little girl from an orphanage.

"Poor child."

Zhongli looked at the [Primordial Beast] before him and shook his head slightly.

Then he pointed and said, "Come back."

A pale golden particle of light suddenly seeped from his palm and floated above the body of the [First Beast of Sighing Moon].

Then, in the next second, the light particle suddenly burst forth with boundless brilliance, as if the world had sighed at that moment, and the golden light enveloped everyone's vision.

Niels did not blink in the dazzling light; he stared intently at the scene unfolding before him, almost motionless.

The pale golden light gradually condensed from its dazzling brilliance, transforming into a thin, pale golden film that resembled flowing water. This film slowly seeped into the placenta on the ground, which was radiating a soft white light.

Then, no strange colors or exaggerated changes were observed.

A thin, pale golden membrane slowly seeped into the body of the [First Beast of Sighing Moon], and then, a person appeared.

She had a delicate, fair face, soft features, brown eyes, and long, smooth, light brown hair.

A tiny human girl, like a sleeping infant, lay on her side on the sandy ground.

"Elmelia Dufner!!"

Niels whispered the name of the girl in front of him.

“Just like the Star Gods did before.” Zhongli smiled slightly as he looked at his incredulous expression: “Cover the body of a [Beast] with fragments of the Star God’s soul, and let the two powers combine, and humanity will be born.”

"The so-called 'beasts' in this world are immortal and eternal beings. In comparison, the power within their souls is far greater than that of ordinary human souls. This is too strange. The soul fragment of the Star God came into contact with the soul of an eternal beast, yet it turned into a weak and fragile human soul. This is simply not normal."

“It’s a curse,” Niels replied softly. “The Star God cursed the [Beast], weakening it into a human.”

“Hehe, just as I thought.” Zhongli nodded slightly. “That’s why I’ve always found it strange that a group like the ‘Beasts’ would appear on this planet. It’s impossible for such creatures, which don’t need to eat, have no life or death, and whose souls are almost immortal, to exist on a normal planet.”

"Now it seems that the [beast] on this planet is indeed the [planet itself]."

Zhongli murmured to himself, "The [Beast] represents the planet's nature and life, but it is too transcendent, almost eternally unchanging. Therefore, the Star God, longing for his homeland, cursed this planet and the [Beast], merging the Starship into this planet, altering its transcendence, and covering the surface of the [Beast] with his own soul, changing its nature and transforming it into the form of [Humans]—this is also the form of the civilization in the Star God's homeland, and its race."

"Is that right?"

Niels shook his head slightly, looking bewildered: "Although I have some guesses, I don't know the specific reason."

“That’s true.” Zhongli nodded slightly. “It’s not worth pursuing the reasons for such things. In any case, the matter has already happened, and what we need to do is not dwell on it.”

"Then let's talk about the spell I'm about to cast. It's obviously similar to the curse of the Star God, but even you can probably see the difference."

“Hmm…” Niels remained silent.

Zhongli didn't seem to mind and continued to explain, "Well... this time it's not a curse, it should be called a blessing."

"The beasts now enveloped by my soul will all revert to their former human forms. However, they will still possess the characteristics of immortality and eternal existence."

"Possessing both the body and soul of a beast and the body and soul of a human, this is the new salvation I intend to give to this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Niels's eyeballs began to vibrate violently and uncontrollably.

He kept looking up and down.

Finally, he fell silent.

"Thank you." Niels lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the girl who had been transformed from the [First Beast of the Sighing Moon], and shook his head slightly.

His expression was complicated, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

After a long pause, he raised his head and turned his gaze to Zhong Li: "If you can help me revive Lila and William, I am willing to risk my life for you."

"Then it's a deal!" Zhongli smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.

Then, in the next second, he lightly touched the ground, his body suddenly rising, and a pale golden light began to envelop him.

"Ok?"

Seeing this scene, Niels felt a slight stirring in his heart.

It seems like he's thought of something.

Zhongli's figure flew higher and higher, soaring into the sky, breaking through the gale and swirling the atmosphere, finally standing on this gray, sandy planet.

His gaze encompassed all the creatures on this land.

All the beasts, all the intelligent life that had not been destroyed by the beasts, were brought into his sight.

Then, the pale golden pupils in his vision began to move.

He began to see the long history of the world, and the historical milestones that had occurred along the way.

Although he is merely an avatar of an avatar in this world, and although this avatar's power is not great, it is still enough to change this world if one is willing to sacrifice.

He estimated the energy he possessed, as well as the energy needed to completely change the world, and nodded slightly.

And from this arose sound, which then spread throughout the planet.

"This is the moment of change."

"This is the day of rebirth."

"This day is the final moment."

"I am Zhongli, the Dragon of the Rocks."

"You shall be blessed."

Then, light was born.

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Final Beginning

Light continuously extended from Zhongli's body.

The pale golden light seemed to pierce the world, shattering all gloom and the hope for all that was tragic, extending endlessly into the heart of this planet.

Strands, threads, lines.
