He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

"At that time, we wondered what the Emperor's intentions were. Was he trying to achieve something by faking his death?"

“We talked for a long time until we connected the breaking of the seal of the Demon God Oser with the Emperor’s fake death, and then we found that everything made sense.”

Then, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said a few more words, and the immortals behind him occasionally added their own comments.

In short, the Emperor must have had a profound reason for doing this.

Then Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said that the news that Gui Zhong was still alive should be told to the Emperor. He then recorded some words through magic and then turned into a shooting star and flew quickly towards Liyue Harbor.

Seeing this, Gui Zhong didn't stop her. She understood that the main event was about to begin, so she silently took a deep breath and began to organize her thoughts.

Liyue Harbor

The "Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony" has been completed, and the contract with Ying has also ended. Zhongli is going to listen to a little tune before returning to the Hall of Rebirth. As for the one million Mora of the contract, it will naturally be provided by the Northern Bank, since it is clearly stated in the contract.

As Zhongli strolled leisurely down the street, a shooting star flew straight toward him and stopped in front of him.

"Liu Yun's message? I don't remember telling the immortals about my current situation."

Although Zhongli was somewhat puzzled, he still took the flying letter and read it carefully.

The contents of the message can be summarized as follows: I don't know what the Emperor's intention was in faking his death, but I have something very important to tell you, so come quickly.

Zhongli put away the flying letter, walked into a small alley, and then disappeared. After all, since True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng had said so, it was normal for him to go.

——Ouzang Mountain

To be honest, Gui Zhong is starting to get a little nervous. He's constantly thinking about what to say next, but his mind is completely blank.

Just as Gui Zhong's mind went blank, Zhong Li had already arrived at Mount Aozang, where the True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

"Liu Yun, is there something important?"

"Please come in first, and you'll see what I'm about to say."

Zhongli looked at Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who had a subtle smile on her face, and couldn't help but wonder what was making her so mysterious before she went inside.

As soon as Zhongli entered, he saw all the immortals. Except for Xiao, they all had subtle smiles on their faces, which made him feel uneasy. He asked a question.

What are you doing here?

"Your Majesty." x4

"Your Majesty, there is someone I would like you to meet."

The True Lord of Gechenlang City walked up to Zhongli, which surprised him. After all, the True Lord of Gechenlang City had maintained the image of an old woman for a thousand years. Why had he returned to his former appearance?

Zhongli didn't ask a question, but followed Ge Chenlang City True Monarch into a room. As soon as he entered, he saw a person with his back to him.

At this moment, the blurry figure deep in his memory was gradually overlapping, and Zhongli could feel that very familiar aura.

"The end?"

Zhongli tentatively spoke, unsure whether this old friend from a thousand years ago had been resurrected or something else.

"Oh? I didn't expect Your Majesty to still remember me."

Gui Zhong turned around with a smile, feigning surprise, as if he hadn't forgotten him even after a thousand years.

"Is it really you? But you're not...."

"Dead, huh?"

Gui Zhong accepted Zhong Li's words, and she found the emotional fluctuations in his tone quite pleasing.

After all, in the past, he rarely saw this stinky stone show any emotional fluctuation towards him, and in the past, he always remained calm and treated everyone equally.

"This is a long story, but I'll keep it short."

Gui Zhong briefly explained his situation at the time, Wu Di's power, his current situation, and his strong support in the fight against the Demon God in Liyue.

Zhongli listened and nodded repeatedly, then sighed.

"Such amazing power exists in the world, and I don't know how to repay your kindness."

"Right, huh?"

Gui Zhong was happy when someone praised Wu Di, after all, he was his sworn brother, and if he wasn't happy, who else had the right to be happy for him?

Then the two chatted for a while, but mainly Zhongli talked about what happened in Liyue over the past thousand years after her passing.

The content here ultimately focuses on Kanria's aspects, because Zhongli's description of those large robots piqued her curiosity.

After all, as a professional in creating magical artifacts, these new technologies were naturally incredibly attractive to her. Moreover, she planned to go to Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun after the banquet and ask her to bring out the weapon with the same level of attack that she had used to fight against the demon god so that she could see it!

As they chatted, Gui realized that the atmosphere between the two of them was very good, and began to plan his own test...

Chapter 79 I Found You First

"Your Majesty, did you successfully unlock the 'Lock of the Mortal World' that I entrusted to you?"

Gui Zhong tentatively opened her mouth, her tone very natural, but the expectation in her eyes betrayed her inner feelings.

"The Lock of the Mortal World? Hmm, I haven't opened it before. I'm afraid it will be damaged if I do."

"Because this is the only gift you left me, I naturally have to keep it safe and sound."

As Zhongli spoke, he stretched out his hand, and immediately a very ingenious mechanical contraption appeared in his hand.

Zhongli's words made Gui Zhong both happy and sad. He was happy that Zhongli had taken his gift so seriously, but sad that Zhongli had not received his heartfelt sentiment.

"And now, according to you, you can live again, so I think we have a lot of time and many more opportunities to give gifts, so..."

Zhongli paused for a moment, then handed the "Locking of the Mortal World" to Guizhong before speaking.

"Now, it's time to return it to its rightful owner."

After saying that, he gave a faint smile, believing that Gui Zhong would be very happy to have the "Lock of the Mortal World" back in his hands.

Gui Zhong stared blankly at the "Locking of the Mortal World" in his hand for a moment, then looked up at Zhong Li and saw the smile on his face.

For a moment, Gui Zhong seemed to have a thousand words to say, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say, but after much back and forth, it all boiled down to two words.

"Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she smiled, but the smile concealed bitterness and sorrow. She had received the result she least wanted to see. In terms of the outcome, there was no difference between a thousand years ago and a thousand years later.

Morax is still the same Morax, always treating her as his best friend, and never taking her feelings for him as love.

For a moment, Gui felt like crying, wanting to cry her heart out, wanting to offer a final dirge for this last love affair.

But Gui held back and forced himself to speak.

"Alright, we've been talking for a while now. Liu Yun and the others have been waiting too long."

"OK, all right."

Although Zhongli noticed that Guizhong was acting strangely, she did not ask him. Instead, she wondered to herself if she had said something wrong.

The Emperor's arrival made the gathering even more lively. Gui Zhong originally planned to use the excuse of being tired to get Wu Di back online, but found that Wu Di did not respond.

(Is the little one asleep?)

Gui Zhong was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do. Since he was already asleep, he could only grit his teeth and get through it.

Then, he excitedly followed Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun to see the weapon she used back then, since Gui Zhong really wanted to make a big one.

——#%￥Dream

Wu Di didn't know when he fell asleep. He just suddenly felt very tired, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the palace, but this time the familiar little girl was not by his side.

(Where did she go?)

Wu Di was unaware of the situation and, relying solely on his memory, began searching for the little girl within the palace. His calls went unanswered, and he grew increasingly anxious.

Because every time I come here, that little girl is always by my side, as if she's always waiting for me to arrive. She's always very enthusiastic, but now I can't find her.

Has something happened?

With this thought in mind, Wu Di started running and calling out from time to time.

As Wu Di continued running, he realized he had entered an unfamiliar area. Unlike the outside, the atmosphere here was quite solemn and serious, and he dared not even breathe too loudly.

The statues on both sides are of various shapes, including people, animals, and other shapes that Wu Di couldn't quite describe, but they all seem to be leaning in one direction, as if telling him to come this way.

Without hesitation, Wu Di stepped inside. His current goal was to find the little girl.

reason?

Wu Di didn't know; all he wanted to do was find her.

As you go deeper, the number of statues changes, gradually becoming sparser. Where there used to be a statue every 5 meters, it gradually becomes 10 meters, 20 meters, 40 meters...

Wu Di didn't care about the number of statues; he was walking quickly, wanting to reach the end of the road as soon as possible to see if the little girl was there.

When the distance between the statues became 640 meters, Wu Di finally saw the end of the road, the huge golden crystal in the center, and the huge statues on the left and right.

Wu Di vaguely saw a person's figure inside the golden crystal. He ran over, worried that the little girl might be trapped inside.

But upon entering, they discovered that inside the golden crystal was a woman with white hair, dressed in strange clothes, but whose face was obscured.

Why is the hem of her dress so long?

The question involuntarily surfaced in Wu Di's mind, but he quickly composed himself and looked around. Just as Wu Di was about to search for it, a familiar, childish voice rang out behind him.

"I didn't expect you to find this place."

"Ok?"

Wu Di quickly turned around to look at the little girl and couldn't wait to speak.

"I finally found you. I woke up and found you weren't by my side. I even thought something had happened to you."

In a sense, I found you first.

Now that he had found the little girl, Wu Di's anxious heart calmed down considerably, and he began to have the leisure to observe the area.

"Where is this? Who are the people inside?"

When faced with Wu Di's question, the little girl did not respond immediately. Instead, she went to the golden crystal, gently touched it, and then spoke.

"She is me, and I am her."

"Ok?"
