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

"That woman..."

Zhongli recalled some unpleasant memories from the past.

At that time, this woman who pretended to be a caring older sister was the one who had been competing with him for Qing Li for a long time, although in the end she lost.

However, it also left many marks on Zhongli's heart.

To suddenly dream of her on such a day, damn it, what kind of omen is this?

After struggling with the decision for a long time, Zhongli finally let it go.

He is no longer Zhong Li of yesteryear, but the Geo Archon who has ruled Liyue for over 3,600 years.

That woman has also been sealed away by him...

----Well, today is a long-awaited reunion with the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal. Don't let it spoil my mood.

Zhongli tidied his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and quietly walked out of the room.

A few breaths later, he left Liyue Harbor and arrived at the summit of Mount Tianheng, where he had arranged to meet with the immortals.

Here, the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal had already prepared wine and food, waiting for the Emperor's arrival.

At the summit of Tianheng Mountain, amidst the clouds and mist, lies a misty fairyland, a place where immortals dwell.

Zhongli took a small step forward, his figure appearing and disappearing in the sky. Within a few steps, he had arrived at the top of Tianheng Mountain.

Above, there is an immortal, whose body is in the shape of a deer, with antlers like flames, eyes like the sun, and body covered in feathers; this is the True Lord of Carving the Moon and Building the Sun.

There was an immortal, standing like a crimson crane, with a snowy neck, gray wings, a red crown, and two feet, wearing a black talisman. This was the True Lord of Water and Mountain Management.

There was an immortal, clad in black feathers and embroidered with brocade, standing with prayer texts on his back, ethereal and handsome, this was the True Lord of Flowing Clouds and Borrowing Wind;

There were two more immortals, in human form. One was an old woman who called herself Granny Ping, concealing her true name; the other was a young man who was the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons, the Yaksha Protector General Xiao.

These five immortals sat in order on the mountaintop, with a brand-new stone table and wine already set out in front of them.

Zhongli strolled up there, not transforming into a dragon, but sitting in human form on the high place, with wine and fruit placed in front of him.

"Everyone. Three thousand six hundred years ago, with your help, we defeated the wicked demon god, pacified the human race, and settled Liyue, thus establishing this three thousand six hundred-year peace pact."

"Drink it all!"

Zhongli raised his cup, and all the True Lords and Immortals also raised their cups at the same time.

Even the immortals in animal form have their own ingenious methods for raising their cups to their lips.

After the immortals finished their drinks, Zhongli spoke again.

"Six thousand years ago, I descended upon Liyue, established Mount Tianheng, protected the human race, and ruled together with [True Lord Fen Tian Li Yun] in the north of Mount Tianheng, thus establishing the origin of the Liyue human race for six thousand years."

"Drink to your heart's content."

Zhongli raised his cup again, as did all the True Lords and Immortals.

As the wine entered his stomach, Zhongli was reminded of those days.

Upon first arriving in Liyue, I was lost and confused, but with Qingli by my side, I managed to get through the initial difficult days.

Looking back, all the pain has been forgotten, and only sweetness seeps into my heart.

He raised his glass three times and said in a low voice.

"Two thousand years ago, the [True Lord of Dividing Heaven and Clear Clouds] suffered a relapse of an old injury and was nearing the end of his life. I led him to Tianheng Mountain for a sky burial. In the end, his remains were transformed into the rocks on the top of Tianheng Mountain."

"For the third cup, you all don't need to keep me company; I'll drink it by myself."

After saying this, Zhongli drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

Then, he suddenly stood up.

Its body grew taller, and its original human male form transformed into a colossal dragon in an instant without any abrupt change.

This dragon's body is vast and boundless, occupying an area that is both formless and limitless.

Even the five immortals who participated in the banquet could not discern the boundaries of the giant dragon flying in the sky.

The young-looking immortal demon-slaying sage, and the Yaksha guardian general Xiao, stood with his hands behind his back, looking excited at the figure of the giant dragon in the sky.

As a ruler of slaughter, he could naturally sense the greatness of the deity before him.

It's beyond words.

That boundless power and that incomprehensible realm fascinated him deeply.

The same applies to the other beast-form True Lords.

The three of them drank their beverages and whispered among themselves.

"The Emperor doesn't seem to be in a very good mood today."

"The third line, seeing the object reminds me of the person, naturally puts me in a bad mood. However, I understand the Emperor's power even more."

"Hmph! The Emperor is naturally the strongest. He is the oldest and most powerful ruler in all mortal realms. Those seven gods who have controlled their kingdoms for less than a thousand years are nothing more than children to the Emperor."

"Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, in this mortal world, most nations are currently watching over each other and resisting the Abyss Cult. It is not proper to casually comment on the gods of other nations." Granny Ping narrowed her kind eyes and gave Lord Liuyun Jiefeng a slight verbal warning—this Lord had caused Liyue and the Emperor a lot of trouble since the beginning.

Grandma Ping only hoped that this time she wouldn't say something that would cause trouble.

P.S.: Sorry I didn't finish writing this. This is the only chapter left.

Author's Note on the Launch of Section 0

This book will be available tomorrow.

Yes, I was still writing when the editor notified me.

Well, actually, when I started writing this book, it was because the Zhongli character I had acquired was so ridiculous, and I also saw that cheat code trope, which is why I started writing it.

Surprisingly, the results were quite good.

This is my first time writing a crossover anime fanfic. I mainly wrote Type-Moon fanfics and original works before, so I'm really happy to have achieved this result.

If it goes on sale tomorrow, I hope everyone will support it with a pre-order.

Thank you!

Anyway, my updates shouldn't be slow.

You can watch with peace of mind.

Chapter Nine: The Immortal Banquet (2)

"Hmph!"

Granny Ping's words caused True Lord Liuyun to snort coldly.

However, she wisely kept quiet.

The sky is high and lofty, and a crowned dragon gazes into the distance from the top of the sky.

Distant memories once again echoed in my heart.

That was when Qingli had just descended upon Tianheng Mountain.

The Liyue humans have just gathered.

To promote the development of the Liyue people, Qingli conquered all directions, defeating many demons and gods in the surrounding lands and mountains, in order to expand the land where the Liyue people could live.

About a century later, the entire area south of Mount Tianheng, including Liyue Harbor and the surrounding territory, was occupied by Qingli.

At that time, he had just achieved the body of an immortal, and his strength was far inferior to that of Qing Li, let alone today.

They can only farm and recuperate at the foot of Tianheng Mountain, taking care of the logistics of the Liyue people.

Later generations all said that Liyue's location south of Tianheng was due to the Geo Archon Morax's conquest of all directions and the slaughter of disobedient subjects.

Little did they know that at that time he was not the Rock King Emperor Morax, but only Zhongli, the "True Lord of Farming and Cultivating the Land." The real Rock King Emperor Morax at that time was Qingli.

Then, for thousands of years, the era of great conflict between demons and gods arose.

Many weaker demon gods were annihilated, leaving only many powerful demon gods to fight on the land of Liyue.

The strongest among them is named Ruo Tuo Long Wang, followed by the Rock King Morax, then Chi, Qing Ce Zhuang was Chi's territory during the Demon God War, Qing Ce is the ancient Li Yue language pronunciation of Chi; and then the Dust Demon God Gui Zhong.

The Demon God of Dust returned to his origins, and, being good at stirring up dust, resided on the plains north of Tianheng.

The people are numerous and make their living by farming.

Moreover, this demon god is skilled in management and possesses wisdom, which is extremely similar to the attributes of Zhongli, the "True Lord of Farming and Cultivating the Land".

He can be described as an upgraded version of Zhongli, the "True Lord of Farming and Cultivating the Land" at that time.

Qingli, who originally lived in the south of Tianheng, and Guizhong, who lived in the north of Tianheng, were destined to fight.

But who knew this woman was so perceptive? She directly formed an alliance with Qingli to jointly protect the people of Liyue.

Although Zhongli felt a little impatient at times, he found it annoying that this woman was clinging to Qingli and being so fussy.

But this woman's emotional intelligence was so high that she completely overwhelmed him.

In less than a century, the people of Guichen and Liyue had become indistinguishable. They even established the Guizhongji to protect Tianheng and guard against the Ruotuo Dragon King. They also specially took two characters from the names "Qingli" and "Guizhong" to name the plains north of Tianheng Guili Plain.

Although he later claimed that the character "璃" was too soft and deliberately wrote "归离原" instead of "归璃原", he was still at a disadvantage at the time.

During that time, Qingli practically ran to her every day, and even the opportunity to have a late-night chat with Zhongli Binzu became much less frequent.

This led him to reflect, "I know in my heart that she'll come back when she's had her fill of fun," a thought that comforted him.

Later, as the war between the demon gods entered its most intense phase, the Demon God of Dust was attacked by the Evil Dragon and nearly perished.

In order to maintain its condition, Qingli, on Zhongli's recommendation, sealed Guizhong, saving its soul from near extinction.

Then, in order to take revenge, Qingli led many immortals to fight against the evil dragon.

Crack its bones, divide its blood, annihilate its soul, and sever its spirit.

Embrace its people and promote its traditions.

.......

The tangled memories made Zhongli feel increasingly lonely.

He had no idea why he was recalling Gui Zhong's appearance.
