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

Wu Di turned around and saw that it was Zhong Li calling him, so he stopped and came to his side, speaking in a friendly manner.

"Your Majesty, Zhongli, is there something you need from me?"

"Oh, by the way, this is my good friend Barbara, and this is Zhongli."

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli."

"Since you are a friend of my young friend, you can also be considered my friend, so you can just call me Zhongli."

Zhongli's friendliness made Barbara nod, and then she invited the two of them to walk and chat.

Following the war between demons and gods a thousand years ago, Zhong Li slowly unveiled the mystery to Wu Di through his narration.

Chapter 89 The Price of Power

"So at that time you were thinking, could my power restore your old friend, the Dragon King Rota, to his senses?"

After listening to Zhong Li's story, Wu Di summarized what Zhong Li wanted to ask him for a favor.

"Yes, this is something I wanted to ask you to do."

"If you can really restore my old friend to his senses, I promise that the immortals of Liyue and I will be your strongest support."

"Liyue is the best place for you to be."

Looking at Zhong Li, whose expression was very serious, Wu Di felt a sense of trust and security well up inside him and nodded.

"I will do my best."

"Well then, the contract is complete."

"Of course, if it doesn't work out, then that might just be my old friend's fate."

The contract between Zhongli and Wudi is one-sided. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, he and the other immortals are Wudi's strongest support, after all, the debt of gratitude they owe can never be repaid.

Immediately afterwards, Zhongli led Wu Di and Barbara to the outskirts of the city. After checking that no one was around, the group transformed into a faint golden light and flew towards Mount Hulao.

As for why Barbara was brought along, it's because Wu Di assured Zhong Li that she wouldn't say anything, and Barbara had voluntarily signed a contract with Zhong Li promising not to reveal what had happened, which is why she was brought along.

——Mount Hulao

After everything went dark, I found myself at the foot of Mount Hulao in a daze, where a "big tree" came into view.

In Wu Di's view, this "big tree" is constantly flowing with various elements.

"Come with me."

Zhong Li walked ahead and led the way, and Wu Di and Barbara followed.

When they reached the "big tree" and Zhongli was about to head to the sealing point, a little girl with blue hair suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Morax! How dare you show your face here! How will you repay this thousand-year-old grudge?!"

"King Ruoduo..."

Zhongli looked at the little girl in front of him and knew her identity. He could sense pure malice, and it was directed at him one-sidedly.

"Is this the Naga King Ratna?"

Wu Di looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise. Barbara next to him was also a little surprised. After all, the two thought that even if the Dragon King Ruo Tuo transformed into human form, he should be a strong man. Why was he a little girl?

Zhongli glanced at his old friend with a complicated expression, sighed softly, and then ignored the little girl and walked past her.

After all, the little girl is just a wicked thought that the Dragon King Ruoduo has sneaked out of.

"Morax! How dare you ignore me!"

The little girl flew into a rage and charged at Zhongli, but was blocked by a golden shield, making her punches and kicks look rather ridiculous.

"Let's go, everyone, the seal is right in front of us."

Zhongli ignored the little girl's anger and continued walking. Wu Di and Barbara followed him.

They soon arrived at the seal, opened the outer seal, and allowed the group to enter.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Di saw a colossal creature being sealed by a creation of the rock element, unable to move. The little girl had disappeared without him noticing.

Immediately afterwards, a deep yet deafening sound rang out.

"Mo-La-X! Hmphhhhhh!"

"Old friend... sigh."

Zhongli ignored Ruo Tuo Dragon King's shouts and came to him, looking at his old friend who had lost his mind and was filled with hatred for him.

(Is wear and tear ultimately unavoidable?)

Zhongli couldn't help but turn her gaze to Wu Di, hoping he could create a miracle, and slowly began to speak.

"Young friend, I'll leave this to you. I will continue to reinforce the seal as you proceed."

"Ok."

Wu Di nodded, then whispered "Don't worry" to Barbara before approaching the Dragon King Ruoduo.

Although Barbara was very worried, she respected Wu Di's choice and hoped that the Rock God could protect Wu Di.

Looking at the enormous creature before him, Wu Di calmed his mind, began to block out the roar of the Dragon King Ruotu, and began to mobilize his own abilities, drawing upon the purest and most original power buried deep within the various elemental forces.

White starlight began to appear on Wu Di's body. Barbara could feel a warm power in these white lights, full of holiness and redemption.

After pausing for a moment, Wu Di raised his hand and slowly walked towards Ruo Tuo Dragon King. He ignored the surrounding sounds, then crossed the seal and approached Ruo Tuo Dragon King at close range.

No matter how much the Dragon King struggled, the seal held it firmly to the ground, and it could only watch helplessly as Wu Di placed his hand on its face.

The specks of white light obeyed Wu Di's wishes and followed his hand to the body of the Ruo Tuo Dragon King, which suddenly quieted down after struggling violently.

White light began to cover the entire body of the Dragon King Ruotu, and the black aura that even Wu Di could not directly see was gradually being swallowed up by the white starlight.

Past memories began to resurface in the mind of the Naga King, and he remembered many things...

Perhaps it was because it was the first time he had used this power, or perhaps he had exhausted something, but Wu Di felt extremely tired. A heavy drowsiness washed over him, and he fell into a deep sleep leaning against the Dragon King Ruo Tuo.

This miraculous scene left Barbara speechless with shock, and she covered her mouth with her hands to express her amazement.

"Old friend?"

Zhongli asked tentatively, but he was already at the edge of the seal, his expression filled with anticipation.

"Morax, in all these years, this old woman who has lost her mind hasn't done anything wrong, has she?"

"..."

——Yuanxia Palace

The girl, who was bored out of her mind, suddenly sensed something and suddenly flew into a rage, roaring loudly.

"Who is it?!"

"Who made him use that power?!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"He paid a price for using that power!"

"It came at the cost of memories..."

The girl seemed to remember something, her voice gradually lowered, and she curled up weakly, her mind constantly recalling what he had once said.

Actually, the cost is quite low.

Since we've lost it, we can simply create it again.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

I will always remember you.

"Liar, liar, big liar, haven't you already forgotten about me...?"

The mournful cries echoed in the empty hall, unknown to outsiders.

"..."

Chapter 90 Old-fashioned

——Ouzang Mountain

The Dragon King Ruoduo deliberately lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing the sleeping person.

"No, don't worry, my old friend."

Zhongli was in a mood so good that it was indescribable. Looking at his old friend who had regained his senses, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Xiao Di! Your Majesty, is Xiao Di alright?"

Unlike the happy Zhongli, Barbara looked at the sleeping Wu Di with burning anxiety in her heart, but she could not break through the seal and could only watch helplessly, her tone extremely anxious.

"Don't worry, little girl, the little one leaning against my face is just asleep, nothing's wrong with him."

"I understand, phew."

King Ratna's words eased Barbara's anxiety considerably, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old friend, how are you feeling now?"

"Hehe, I feel incredibly good right now. I remember everything, both Liyue and you."

The Dragon King Ruoduo sounded very relaxed. She was indeed in excellent condition. All the noisy sounds in her mind had disappeared, and her overall state was no different from her peak.

"I understand. I'll release the seal first."

Hearing Ruo Tuo Dragon King speak so logically and hearing her assurances, Zhong Li's vigilance lessened considerably, and he began to remove all the seals on Ruo Tuo Dragon King's body.

As the seal was broken, the entire body of the Dragon King Ruoduo emitted a white light, and his enormous body began to disappear. The white light gradually shrank and finally transformed into a human shape.

As the white light disappeared, a woman who looked somewhere between a teenage girl and a young girl appeared beside Wu Di, holding him in her arms as he slept, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Then, carrying Wu Di, they arrived in front of Barbara. Barbara also ran over and retrieved the mask that had fallen off at some point before coming to Wu Di's side.

"Alright, little girl, Morax, let's go out first."

"So good."

"Uh-huh."
