"Don't worry, with us gods guarding here, even if he has the Heart of God, we won't let him mobilize the power of the earth veins easily." Finina's words gave everyone a sedative, making everyone's frown relax a little. Now, the two countries that have lost their gods do not have the two Hearts of God in each other's hands, which means that the other party does not have the ability to mobilize the earth veins.

"But if he gets all of God's Heart, it will be too late for us to stop him."

Elhaisen nodded: "That is to say, we must stop him from getting the remaining two Hearts of God at all costs. The remaining two Hearts of God are in the hands of the traveler Ying. In other words, we must protect Ying from being captured by the other party."

"That traveler? I heard that she is now a hero of your Xumi, but it is too dangerous for her to hold the Heart of God." Nata said to Elhaisen in a somewhat shady tone, "Why not let her hand over the Heart of God and let someone more capable keep it."

"She was able to defeat the Ice God of Winter, and she already possesses the same strength as a god. I don't think there is anyone more suitable than her to keep the Heart of God." Kujo Sara said, "And the Heart of God has been hidden. Since Orobas dared to declare war on us, it means that he doesn't know where the Heart of God is hidden. If we hand over the Heart of God at this time, it will expose its location. Don't forget his strange spatial ability. If he knows the location of the Heart of God, it should be easy for him to secretly take it away."

Finina waved her hands in agreement and said angrily, "That's right! He stole my Heart of God while Violet and I were being entangled by the Executioner! That's how he got my Heart of God!"

His tone was filled with resentment, strongly condemning Agong's shameless behavior of stealing. What demon god would be so shameless as to steal other people's things!

The Nata man did not refute, he was just simply unhappy with Xumi.

"Okay, let's put aside our personal grudges for now." The Vilett tapped the ground with his staff, "Since war is inevitable, we can't let the other side continue to act recklessly. Please go back and tell the gods of your respective countries." The Vilett glanced at Lisa's Eye of God on the table and continued, "I will personally send a letter to Mond, everyone, make preparations before the war."

The meeting ended so abruptly. The battle with Zhidong also involved the combat power between the demons. Even though the people present were the leaders of various countries, the specific matters still needed to be decided by the gods.

But everyone was not too pessimistic. Six nations against one country, five gods against one demon god. Whether it was the number of people at the bottom or the combat power at the top, they had an advantage. Perhaps, just like in the past, Kanreya, there was no need for the people of the country to participate. Just the gods could destroy the Winter Solstice by joining forces, right? And the rest of them just needed to clean up the aftermath of the war.

"If that's the case, then what kind of world war is this? Wouldn't it be exactly like Kanreya back then?"

There were some smart people who remembered what Agong said before, which made humans feel a little involved... All the Fatui soldiers outside Zhidong had been subdued, so where would Zhidong or Orobath have extra manpower to start a war?

With doubts in their hearts, the leaders of various countries returned to their respective countries in fear under the protection of the Fontaine army. As Kujo Sara had said before, no matter what, war has become an inevitable fact. What needs to be done next is to end the war as soon as possible to avoid meaningless sacrifices.

…………

After returning to Zhidong, Agong sat on the cold throne in the palace. This position originally belonged to the Ice God, but now the entire Zhidong is in Agong's pocket.

"As expected, it has come to this." Shanhugong held his chin and reported the intelligence he had gathered to Agong. "The leaders of each country will start mobilizing their armies after they return. If nothing unexpected happens, these armies will march together to the border of Zhidong."

As he spoke, Coral Palace pretended to be scared and shook his body: "If this happens, we will be surrounded by the army from all sides in winter. It will be difficult to escape. It's so scary."

"This is expected. Coral Palace, have you found out the whereabouts of the remaining two Hearts of God?"

Shanhu Gong shook his head and said, "I searched along the route that the traveler Ying took when he escaped from Xumi to Liyue, but I didn't find any trace of the Heart of God. Besides, everyone knows your purpose now. In order to prevent you from getting the remaining Heart of God, Ying is now under protection."

Ah Gong tapped his fingers on the throne handle and thought, where could Ying hide the Heart of God? Did she hand over the Heart of God to Liyue's Rock God Morax when she fled to Liyue? Could the Heart of God be in Morax's hands?

By declaring war this time, Agong also wanted to use it to force out the whereabouts of the Heart of God.

Just as A Gong was deep in thought, he sensed something and stood up from his seat.

"It seems that before the armies of the six nations could gather, an uninvited guest broke in."

On the road leading to the Winter Palace, a small figure appeared. The patrolling Winter Solstice soldiers noticed it and pointed their weapons at the figure, shouting, "Who is it?"

The other party did not speak. The ice spread from the soles of the Winter Soldier's feet and froze the soldier in place. He continued to walk inside without any intention of hiding his tracks.

A Gong's figure appeared in front of the other party, blocking his way. Looking at this small figure, his purple hair was pressed down by the hat on his head, and there was an ice-attributed God's Eye hanging on his body.

Qiqi, the little follower who always followed Bai Zhu when he was still alive, the zombie from Liyue.

But compared to the Qiqi who always had a silly and cute look in the past, looking like a child who had not grown up, the talisman that was used to command herself on Qiqi's head has long been torn off. She still wears a pair of glasses on her face and has a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, like a mature little adult.

This kind of smile reminded Agong of Bai Zhu. That guy also had this kind of smile on his face when he was treating people or had some bad intentions... Is this little zombie named Qiqi intentionally imitating the dead Bai Zhu?

Seeing Agong coming, Qiqi stopped and said to Agong: "Say hello first, Agong... No, I can call you Orobas now, right?"

Even his speech became fluent, which was in stark contrast to his previous slow and stumbling way of speaking. If it weren't for the fact that his aura as a zombie had not changed, one would have thought he had become a completely different person.

"You're lucky to get in here." A Gong was not interested in Qiqi's changes, "But this is not a place for children to come."

As he said this, he seemed to want to grab Qiqi. Qiqi stepped back, making some spells in her hands, and several coffins emerged from the ground.

"Oh?"

This is a technique created and researched by Bai Shu. In Liyue's collapse plan, Bai Shu used this technique to revive Liyue's seven stars from all generations to help in the battle. If you think about it carefully, Qiqi is Bai Shu's assistant, and Bai Shu never avoids mentioning Qiqi, so it is natural that Qiqi also knows this technique.

But what is the purpose of using this technique at this time? If it is just the mortals in Liyue, it will be meaningless even if there are more of them.

Qiqi snapped her fingers, and the coffin lid opened, revealing the corpses inside. A Gong's eyes changed slightly, the faces in the coffins were not unfamiliar to him.

Piero the Harlequin, Arlecchino the Servant, Puccini the Cock, Pantalone the Rich, these executioners sacrificed themselves in order to seize the Heart of God in Fontaine.

Can even the top executives be revived? Has he been hiding in Fontaine and seized the bodies of these executives as materials for resurrection?

“Resurrection from the dead.” Qiqi stood on the edge of the coffin and stroked the side of it, saying, “This was created by Mr. Bai Shu based on the magic of Liyue and my power as the True Lord of Rescue and Deliverance. It can summon the souls of the dead back to their bodies and manipulate the corpses to fight. After Mr. Bai’s death, I am the only one who knows this magic and can use it.”

Qiqi had a faint smile on her face. "And now my achievements in this art have surpassed Mr. Bai. This is just a small show so that you can believe in my ability."

A Gong looked at Qi Qi. He had not paid any attention to Qi Qi after Bai Zhu's death. No, to be precise, he had never paid serious attention to Qi Qi. In his eyes, Qi Qi was just a zombie who knew nothing and could only act by relying on the orders of others. Even though she had the identity of an immortal, this identity was more like a result of the mercy of other immortals in Liyue. She herself did not pose any threat.

Now he is completely free from the imperial edict and can act freely according to his own ideas. Compared to a zombie, Qiqi is more like a living human with flesh and blood and emotions.

Although this feeling... is more like imitation.

Qiqi continued, "Please rest assured, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Ah Gong wanted to hear what Qiqi wanted to do, and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"I want to join forces with you."

"Oh? Join forces?" A Gong asked, "What good will it bring to me if I join forces with you?"

"The war will start soon, right? From what I know, Dongzhi is very weak right now." Qiqi said naturally, "That is to say, I can provide you with combat power. These are the Fatui's executive officers, all of them are masters, and... I don't have only these chess pieces."

Indeed, these people can play an outstanding role on the battlefield. Those who can become executives, even Tartaglia, the weakest of the original executives, would be among the top mortals in other countries.

But at this time, instead of choosing the strong side, he chose the seemingly weak side. A Gong didn't believe that Qiqi would be so kind as to help him unconditionally.

Agong asked again: "What reward do you want?"

"Amber." Qiqi answered without hesitation, "I know that Amber is in your hands now."

Want Amber?

This reward made Agong's heart stagnate slightly. This was an unexpected answer.

"What are your intentions?"

"Nothing special." Qiqi spread her hands and answered casually and naturally, "I want her to stay by my side so that I can transform from a zombie into a human being and become a necessary experimental material for a truly immortal being. That's all."

"What if I refuse."

Hearing A Gong's words, Qi Qi stretched out her hand and pinched the magic formula again, and another brand new coffin appeared.

"Proclaim this edict and bring the dead back to life."

The coffin lid fell off, revealing the figure inside. Agong's pupils suddenly shrank inward.

"This is... this kind of thing, you can actually do it?"

"I've said before, in this technique, I have surpassed Baishu." Qiqi smiled faintly, "Do you think I would come to see you without any preparation?"

Chapter 120 Dream Master Qiqi

"I think you can't refuse."

Agong didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone."

"Hum hum."

Ah Gong looked at Qiqi, shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Qiqi's smile disappeared and he asked, "What's so funny?"

"Qiqi, I never thought you would achieve such success. I never thought of it." Agong said calmly, "Fighting with you now will only weaken our combat effectiveness, so you seized the opportunity to come here. You are really well prepared."

Who would have thought that the forgetful zombie who knew nothing before could now achieve such a level?

Hearing Agong's words, Qiqi raised her eyes: "In other words..."

"Okay, I agree to join forces with you." Agong said this first, and then changed the subject, "But I can only hand over Amber after the war has a result. Before that, you can't meet Amber."

"He's a very reasonable guy. As expected of Orobas, he has a very different character."

Qiqi didn't know whether it was a mockery or a compliment.

"You are so arrogant now." Agong looked at Qiqi deeply again, and then changed the subject. "After confirming your combat power, I will make a new battle plan. Come with me."

Agong turned around and walked towards the Winter Palace. Qiqi chuckled sinisterly like a cunning snake, and the coffin lid closed again and sank into the ground. She followed behind Agong and was not afraid that Agong would suddenly attack her again.

As the two were walking one after the other, Coral Palace emerged from the ground. Qiqi glanced at Coral Palace and didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked about something else.

"Come to think of it, you didn't even want to win this time in Zhidong's war against the six nations, did you? Or rather, victory at the national level is unimportant to you. As long as you get the remaining two God's Hearts, you will win."

Ah Gong didn't say anything. Shanhu Gong asked Qiqi, "Do you like to guess what other people are thinking?"

"Because I'm a zombie." Qiqi answered as a matter of course. "Zombies need orders to act. Sometimes the orders given by others are too simple. For example, Mr. Bai gave me an order to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but I didn't know where to collect herbs, how much herbs I had to collect, and when to come back. If I didn't know what Mr. Bai wanted me to do, then I might just keep collecting herbs on the mountain."

"You don't understand zombies at all, but you don't look like you need an imperial decree right now."

Qiqi smiled and replied, "Because I have issued an edict to myself that I no longer need an edict to act. In other words, I am free now and no one can order me through an edict anymore."

Qiqi seemed to be hinting at something and continued, "Even if it's an illusion that can control others, it can't control a dead body."

Free? But you wear the same glasses as Bai Shu. Are you acting according to your own will now, or are you living like Bai Shu? Maybe Bai Shu has been training Amber, so you also need Amber, so you came to us, right?

Shanhugong thought so in his heart, and walked to Agong, saying in a tattling tone: "Sir, is this really okay? Do you trust this kind of person?"

"Then we need to see how much value she can have. Stop talking nonsense and follow me."

Passing through a long underground passage, they came to a dark underground building. The equipment placed in this room attracted Qiqi's attention. Five Hearts of God were inlaid on the equipment, and the pipes connected to the equipment led to another underground room filled with liquid. Qiqi looked into the room, where there were densely packed Fatui wearing masks. Judging from their body shapes, these people seemed to be printed out from the same mold.

"This is incredible. If I'm not mistaken, these are the doctor's slices, right?"

"These are slices created in large quantities using the power of the Heart of God. Although these slices are not as powerful as executive officers, as slices of the doctor, even if they do not have the power of the original body, their combat skills and experience are not fake. No matter how weak they are, they are far superior to normal soldiers. Each one of them can be said to be an elite."

Qiqi clapped her hands, "No wonder you have the confidence to declare war on the six countries. The gap in the quality and quantity of soldiers can be made up with these slices." Then Qiqi tilted her head slightly, "It's not a small risk to do this. Splitting so many slices that can be used in the war, can the doctor bear the mental burden?"

"Don't worry about that. I've considered this situation." Agong said coldly, "So I wiped out the doctor's mind in advance, turning him into a puppet that only knows how to produce slices."

"Oh, that's a good idea indeed. As long as we don't have the spirit, we don't have to worry about mental breakdown. We can completely control the doctor. In this way, we will have an elite army that is not afraid of sacrifice and has a constant supply."

"That's true, but the doctor is only a mortal after all. Even if we don't have to worry about mental problems, his physical strength has its limits. We still have to save it as much as possible."

Looking at the densely packed heads on the ground, Qiqi asked, "So, how many people can be put into the war when the real battle begins?"

A Gong, who had already calculated it, answered directly: "About 100,000."

"That's really exaggerated. With 100,000 slices of the doctor's sword, plus the undead I resurrected, the quality of the soldiers has far surpassed the six nations."

"This is just a low-level battle. These slices will be used to hold back most of the six nations' combat power, but Qiqi, you should also understand that it is not these soldiers who determine the direction of the war."

In a war involving the power of demons, what can truly determine victory or defeat is the top-level combat power.

"Well, let's talk about your business now." A Gong stared into Qi Qi's eyes, "You came to me for cooperation because of interests, which means that you may also put me at a disadvantage because of interests."

"It seems that you still can't completely trust me. This is normal. Tell me, how do you want me to prove it?"

"Tell me all the secrets of resurrection. I need you to use it once now, of course." Agong paused, "including the method to stop it."

Qiqi's pupils shrank slightly.

"What if I say no?"

"Not only will you never get what you want, but even the things you want will change." Agong's pupils changed, and he threatened, "It will become your own life."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Qiqi thought to herself, since he brought me to this place to know these secrets, if we can't reach an agreement he will definitely attack and keep me here forever. Although I know he is not Orobas himself, there is no difference in strength. It is not wise to fight at this time. I'd better not break up with him before I get what I want.

"Okay." Qiqi compromised and said to Agong, "You should know about Liyue's Wangsheng Hall, right? This world is divided into the Yin and Yang worlds, and the Wangsheng Hall is responsible for transferring the souls of the dead who are stranded in the Yang world to the Yin world. Mr. Bai's creation of the Resurrection of the Dead refers to the secret method of the Wangsheng Hall, but it is the opposite of sending souls from the Yang world to the Yin world, and it is now pulling souls from the Yin world back to the Yang world. If the other party's bones are preserved intact, the soul of the dead person can be pulled back to the body to a certain extent, achieving a state similar to that of a zombie."

A Gong thought of the coffin that Qiqi had summoned earlier and interrupted, "You don't seem to need a complete corpse."

"Of course, otherwise how can I say that I have surpassed Baishu in this art." Qiqi puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I only need part of the corpse."

"Oh?"

"Not everyone in this world dies without regrets. Although the souls in the underworld are confused, they instinctively want to return to the world of the living and prepare a living body. They use the other party's corpse as a trigger to perform this spell. In this way, they can attract the souls in the underworld related to them to enter the prepared body."

Qiqi spread her hands and said, "Of course, one body cannot hold two souls. The person used as the body becomes the sacrifice for this technique. This is also fair. One life for another."

Agong ordered: "Show it to me."

"Do you want to use it now? Unfortunately, I don't have any extra sacrifices prepared."

Coral Palace interrupted, "There are so many slices here, shouldn't there be as many sacrifices as you want?"

"The quality of the sacrifice's body will affect the strength it can display after returning to the body and the success rate of the technique. I cannot guarantee whether these split pieces are qualified. Of course, if you want to try them one by one, that's fine."
