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

This deer-like immortal seemed to have never expected Accelerator to move so fast.

The Ninety-Nine Fire Dragons Immortal Technique he used had not yet been fully unleashed. He hadn't even had time to change the formation before he had to hastily activate it to protect himself.

"Pardon. Protection"

Hearing his command, the bubbling sea of ​​magma surged and merged together, one stream rushing towards Accelerator's back, while another crashed into the body of True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building.

Click! Click-click!

The Moon-Slaying True Lord, who should have been seriously injured, used his magma armor to slightly reduce the damage, but it was a few seconds too late.

Accelerator had already placed his palm on his fur.

Accelerator's unique and powerful analytical abilities allowed him to figure out the composition of the magma and how it was reflected in about ten seconds.

The next second, the rock armor on the body of True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang shattered instantly.

The mere elk displayed a clear expression of shock.

He frantically drew upon the power of the elements while simultaneously attempting to move away from Accelerator.

Strangely, the white-haired Accelerator did not stop or pursue them.

He stood there, glancing at the Moon-Cut Sun True Monarch and the Traveler with a complicated expression, a sinister smile creeping up his lips once more.

"Tch! You guys are really lucky." The white-haired boy with black and white wings behind him chuckled coldly.

"I was planning to kill you all in the next second, but I didn't expect the plan to be changed at the last minute?"

"Consider it a lucky escape from death."

After saying this, he didn't even look at the surging magma beneath him. His figure suddenly rose higher, his black and white wings shaking the air, and he disappeared from the sight of True Monarch of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building in an instant.

A few minutes later, it was confirmed that the enemy had indeed left.

Only then did True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang release his immortal magic and walk solemnly to the traveler.

"Traveler, what do you want to say to me?"

Paimon and the Traveler were still somewhat unsettled by the series of battles that had just taken place.

It took me a while to come to my senses.

The traveler opened his mouth, but before he could speak.

Paimon, who was behind her, quickly stepped forward and said with a serious expression.

“True Lord of Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building, what we want to tell you is also related to this apostle.”

"The incident occurred two days ago during the [Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony]..."

Chapter 18. The Principles Beyond? (1)

Paimonti the traveler explained the details of the [Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ritual] clearly.

When the True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun heard about the Emperor's murder and the topic of the Third Apostle, Reimu Hakurei, he was overheard.

His expression suddenly changed.

Even on his deer-like face, one could clearly see his expression.

It was sadness, pain, and disbelief.

Compared to sadness and pain, there was more disbelief on his face.

He frowned as he looked at the traveler, his loud and majestic voice trembling slightly: "Impossible, how could this be? Absolutely impossible?? The Emperor could have been assassinated?? Absolutely impossible??"

"I simply cannot imagine the scene of the Emperor being assassinated. Do you even know how powerful the Emperor truly is?"

"His power is such that a single strike could turn the entire Liyue upside down, which is nothing unusual for him. Such a powerful emperor, how could you and Him be assassinated?? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You keep saying it's impossible, so you mean we're lying to you?" Before the traveler could react, Paimon was the first to express his displeasure.

She flew to the side, patted the still-steaming rock, and glanced at True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang: "Do you think you're strong or not?"

"Of course!!" When it comes to this point, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang would not admit defeat: "I am True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal, a powerful figure who accompanied the Emperor in creating Liyue, defeated many demon gods, and protected the Liyue human race for more than 3,600 years!"

"Throughout the entire continent of Teyvat, there aren't many who can compare to me. Even Barbatos, the Aeolus of Mondstadt, might not be as capable as me."

“I think so too.” Paimon nodded his little head with an air of authority, crossed his arms and said, “You are able to turn this entire mountain forest and cave into magma. Such power is something that neither I nor the traveler have ever seen before.”

Upon hearing this, the traveler quickly nodded, his expression sincere, his eyes even shining with innocent light.

These words pleased True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, who was about to say a few words of humility in accordance with Liyue's tradition.

Paimon then asked, "Then why were you, someone as powerful as you, defeated by that Fourth Angel, Accelerator?"

The True Lord of Moon-Shaping and Sun-Building was speechless. After hesitating for a long time, he replied in a low voice, "It's just that our compatibility is bad. It's like when I try to fight a fire slime, I have to kick it several times with my own hooves."

“Yes!” Paimon, arms crossed, nodded again. “Then isn’t it normal for Lord Rock King to encounter problems when he meets someone with whom he has a bad relationship?”

The True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building was completely stunned. After a long while, he shook his head slightly.

A few hot tears rolled down her cheeks: 'I know now, I was just unwilling to admit it just now.'

"That human who calls himself the 'Fourth Angel,' Accelerator, is indeed extremely powerful, powerful enough to surpass me. Therefore, I believe you..."

The True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun sighed softly, "Traveler, I already know what you have conveyed, but I cannot make a decision alone. Go and take the Hundred Taboos Talisman to find the other Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortals. Once we are gathered together, we can discuss how to deal with this difficulty."

"As for the Seven Stars of Liyue, judging from your description, there does seem to be some problems. It reminds me of some of the things the Emperor said when he met with us not long ago. It seems that someone among the Seven Stars of Liyue has long harbored resentment towards the Emperor, and even went directly to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony to loudly question the Emperor."

"The Liyue Seven Stars' betrayal is indeed a possibility; we must devise a foolproof plan. Hmm... Go deliver the message first."

"You can go and find True Lord Lishui Dieshan and True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng first. Although they are both free spirits, they are not far from here. The commotion just now must have attracted their attention."

“Go and repeat what you said to me. Also, take a message for me, that they should come looking for me.”

"Sigh! Go ahead, I'll think about this on my own."

After saying these words, True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang turned and walked into the cave, leaving behind only a lonely figure.

The traveler wanted to say something, but in the end he only stretched out his hand and remained silent.

Paimon sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, Ying, let's go find the other two immortals first."

.....

Accelerator, with his black and white wings, swiftly rode the raging winds and flew high into the sky, then casually landed in a secluded spot on Mount Tianheng around Liyue Harbor.

Accelerator then strolled leisurely into Liyue Harbor and entered Zhongli's residence.

Here, several people are having dinner together.

There was a young girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, with black and white yin-yang beads tied in her hair. She was eating rice with chopsticks, and she was eating stuffed chicken and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall every day, her mouth dripping with oil.

There was no trace of the arrogant and domineering Third Angel, Reimu Hakurei.

"Hey, you lousy shrine maiden, leave me some. I just finished my mission, and you've already eaten everything in less than half an hour, haven't you?"

Accelerator casually walked up to Reimu, picked up a bowl of rice, and started eating.

"No need to rush, lovely boys and girls, there's still plenty of stuff. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more for you. Mr. Zhongli specially went to the funeral parlor where he works and withdrew 20 Mora for us to use these few days."

The "sexy prisoner," sitting in the corner of the room doing a plank, was sweating profusely as he spoke with concern.

"Tch! Mind your own business, you sexy gossip." Accelerator's mouth is getting more and more venomous.

After finishing his meal, Accelerator scanned the crowd around him and asked curiously, "Where are Bell and that good-for-nothing Neet? Where did they go?"

Having eaten and drunk her fill, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden lay back in her wicker chair, lazily basking in the sun. She casually raised her arm and pointed to the room next door: "Those two, their purpose in coming to this world was to be trained by Zhongli, no, I should say, by the Rock King Emperor, right? They're busy right next door."

"However, I never expected that Lord Zhongli was actually a god who controlled an entire kingdom, and also the god of money and trade who created the currency that circulated throughout the continent!!! I must invite Lord Zhongli to my shrine. As long as Lord Zhongli is there, I will definitely have a steady stream of wealth and a constant flow of incense money."

"Oh, just thinking about it makes me so happy!!"

"Tch! You money-grubber."

Accelerator, looking at Reimu's appearance, curled his lip in disdain.

Chapter Nineteen: Secret Talks with D'Artagnan

"Hey, you with the white hair."

The languid shrine maiden didn't react much to Accelerator's words; perhaps she even thought they were a compliment.

"Who came up with this title, you ask?"

"Of course it's Zhongli." Accelerator said bluntly, "I wonder if that guy is a hidden chuunibyou."

"Hmm...chuunibyou, huh?" Zhongli's voice suddenly rang out from beside Accelerator, making him swallow his words with slight embarrassment.

"From a purely rational standpoint, my naming of the organization in Teyvat is not beyond common sense. The subordinates of the Winter Queen can be called Executors, so it is quite normal for our organization to be called 'Apostles'."

"Alright, let's stop here." Zhongli only said that one sentence before quickly changing the subject; "Thank you all for your help. Although things are somewhat different from the plan, they are indeed moving in a chaotic direction."

“I can definitely feel that the history of Teyvat is fluctuating.”

"Now, we can modify the mission a little. Especially you, Immortal Fu Hua, your mission will definitely need to be changed a lot."

Zhongli stood with one hand behind his back and the other playing with a teacup on the table. He was tall and handsome, with a relaxed demeanor. "Perhaps I haven't told you, but Immortal Fu Hua of the Crimson Phoenix, you look very much like one of my former close friends."

"This close friend is also someone the Three-Eyed Immortal knew. Therefore, you will be the core figure who disrupts the entire Liyue questline."

"You want me to impersonate your deceased best friend??" Fu Hua, dressed in a dark blue training robe, frowned slightly. "I..."

“I know this is a little difficult,” Zhongli stated his condition. “So, to ensure the fairness of the contract, I will personally submit double the points to you. Although I’m a little embarrassed, I remember you, Immortal Fu Hua, said that you must be short of points.”

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Fu Hua immediately agreed without hesitation: “Tell me what kind of personality your friend has, so you don’t end up not acting like one.”

Zhongli nodded in satisfaction.

The red and white shrine maiden, who was watching from the side, suddenly became excited.

He kept muttering to himself, "Look, look. This is the power of the god of money, this is the power of the god of money!!"

......

Prince D'Artagnan sat on the second floor of his Northern Bank, looking at the few remaining Mora in his secret treasure chest, and slightly twitched the corners of his mouth.

The items from Liyue are ridiculously expensive.

A set of chopsticks with a dragon design costs close to 200,000 Mora, which is truly heartbreaking.

Moreover, the temple that was in charge of the funeral service did not uphold any martial ethics and directly sent the bill for 200,000 Mora to the Northern Bank. He couldn't possibly use the bank's money to pay for his own expenses, so in the end he had no choice but to pay with his own savings with tears in his eyes.
