I, Manye's best friend, face General Raiden at the beginning

Wait until they leave.

Ganyu took a sip of the drink she brought with her.

She doesn't drink, and she trusts Zhongli, her teammate who goes on an adventure to another world with her.

So he asked, "Zhongli, do you think there is something strange about the Emperor's fall this time?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhongli asked.

"Let's not talk about how many forces in the world can threaten the Emperor."

"There was no sign of the Emperor's death. If he was in danger of falling, he would have informed us and asked us to be fully prepared."

"Instead of dying directly during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony."

"In that case, it is true."

Zhongli nodded helplessly, acknowledging Ganyu's opinion.

She knew the Emperor better than Qixing, so it was natural for her to have such thoughts.

I believe that some old friends among the other immortal families have also noticed the problem here.

"Remember our speculations about the Emperor during the Demon Slayer World War?"

"Qianhua and I believe that the Emperor has not fallen. He just wants to see if Liyue is ready to go on its own now."

Zhongli: "That's a bit possible."

"What Yu Hengxing said during the ceremony of inviting the immortals last year may have also touched the emperor's heart."

Seeing that Zhongli’s thinking was the same as his and Qianhua’s.

Ganyu smiled slightly, "It seems that Qianhua and I are not the only ones who have this idea."

At least after getting Zhongli's approval, considering Zhongli's extensive knowledge, there is indeed a greater chance that the Emperor has not really fallen.

Although this is just a guess, it seems to make the possibility greater.

Fujiwara, who was sitting next to him, was a little dazed.

Is this something that can be discussed with Zhongli???

I said in front of Emperor Rock King, I think Emperor Rock King is not dead, it may be to test us.

This kind of thing feels really weird.

But she didn't show any abnormality at this time.

Because for Ganyu, who didn't know that Zhongli was the Emperor, it was a normal thing to discuss this matter with her companions who were adventuring in another world together.

"If the Emperor really hasn't fallen, this is really just a test."

Zhongli drank his wine and asked, "What would you choose to do?"

Gan Yu said without hesitation, "Of course, we should prepare a grand ceremony to send off the immortals for the Emperor."

"Qianhua and I came here for this matter. Regardless of whether the Emperor really died or not, He should be treated with dignity."

"I just didn't expect that the task of delivering the immortal ceremony has almost been completed by Zhongli and the Knights of Honor."

"Now I just hope that I can help with the final task of collecting the glass lilies."

"As for the test, I will definitely do my best with the Seven Stars and the Immortals to do my best."

"Then let the Emperor retire with peace of mind."

"The Emperor has been working hard since the founding of Liyue. It is indeed time for him to take a good rest."

Listen to Ganyu's words.

Zhongli couldn't help but smile, "So that's what you think."

"If the Emperor knew, he would definitely be happy."

"But even if the Emperor didn't really die, he wanted to test Liyue and really abdicated."

"Then in order to maintain the balance of Teyvat's seven gods system, I'm afraid a new God of Rock will appear sooner or later."

"At this point, how should the Emperor deal with it?"

"This……"

Ganyu didn't expect Zhongli to think so deeply.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out how to answer. Should she start a fight against the new God of Rock?

But did the Emperor want to abdicate on his own initiative?

Thoughts flashed through her mind.

Fujiwara, who was sitting next to him, did not expect Zhongli to ask such a question.

After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Then as long as the new Rock God also believes in the Emperor, or a new Rock God is created from those who currently believe in the Emperor."

"In this way, won't the relationship between the Emperor and the new Rock God be harmonious?"

"That's not bad, if you put it that way."

Zhongli nodded and continued, "What if you were asked to choose a new God of Rock in today's Liyue?"

"Which one do you think is suitable?"

"Well……"

Ganyu was stumped by the question.

She had never thought about such a thing.

Or maybe she had never considered the emergence of a new Rock God.

After all, she has been following the Emperor for thousands of years, and she doesn't even know how to deal with it if a new Rock God appears.

At this time, Fujiwara spoke.

"Except for Tianquan and Yuheng, the other seven stars of Liyue have rarely appeared."

"And Tianquan Ningguang always wants to sit down and talk with the other party whenever she encounters anything. Moreover, as a big businessman, she will weigh the pros and cons of everything. As a Seven Star, she is absolutely qualified."

"But as the God of Rock, I always feel like she's missing something."

"As for Yuheng Keqing, I have never dealt with her, but I have heard of her deeds."

"If she becomes the God of Rock, Liyue will no longer be lazy and inefficient."

"It seems good, but if it's like this, life will lose a lot of fun."

Zhongli listened to Fujiwara's words but didn't say anything.

It does not say whether her evaluation is right or not.

Instead, he asked, "Who do you think can take on the responsibility of the God of Rock in Liyue?"

Fujiwara chuckled and said, "The Emperor just 'fell'. It is a bit disrespectful to talk about this."

“But I do have a good fit in mind.”

Ganyu's eyes were filled with doubt, and Zhongli also showed some curiosity, waiting for her next words.

"That person is the guest official of Wangsheng Hall - Mr. Zhongli."

"Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and experienced. It is most appropriate for him to be the next God of Rock."

Zhongli: "..."

Chapter 13: Reaching the Ultimate

the next day.

Dihuazhou.

Fujiwara, Ganyu, and Zhongli all gathered here.

Prepare to complete the last step of the ceremony of sending the immortals.

From a distance, one could see Ying's petite figure jogging towards them with Paimeng.

"You are very punctual. We just arrived not long ago."

"Is Qun Yu Pavilion fun?"

Zhongli asked.

Hearing this, Paimon gestured with his hands and said, "Super-big! Super gorgeous! Super expensive! It's the most expensive building I've ever seen."

"Indeed. If Qunyu Pavilion is ranked second, no one in Liyue would dare to be ranked first."

"You should have met Ning Guang. How was the chat?"

"She's so rich, so generous, and a very kind person."

Seeing Paimon say this, Ying couldn't help but add, "But kindness is also a businessman's weapon."

Paimon couldn't help but shook his head.

"She has a different view of Ningguang than I do."

"She feels that Yu Hengxing, who speaks too straightforwardly, is more credible."

"Oh? Have you met Ke Qing? Did she say anything to you?"

Fujiwara also didn't expect that Ying, who knew the method to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion, would actually be able to meet Keqing.

Wasn’t it a coincidence that she met Keqing?

"She said that the age of immortals is over. If even the Seven Stars of Liyue dare not face this fact, what will happen to the future of Liyue?"

"Hahaha, disrespectful to the gods."

"Indeed, compared to Ke Qing who dares to say anything, Ning Guang is more like a typical businessman even though he is also a Seven Star."

"Although kind, you can't be sure that she is 100% sincere."

Ying nodded and said, "Ningguang is a strategic and ambitious person."

Zhongli nodded, "Yes, she was able to sit in the position she is in today entirely because of herself."

"Such a person must have something extraordinary."

"I heard that the ever-expanding Jade Pavilion is the embodiment of her ambition and the second most important thing in her life."

“Even if she has to give up the position of Tianquan, she will not give up Qun Yu Pavilion.”

Paimon asked curiously, "Qun Yuge is the second one? What about the first one?"

"Of course Maura."

Ying: "That makes sense, and it's not surprising."

"By the way, the thing she talked to us about the most was the Fatui."

Paimon said as he looked at Qianhua.

It seemed as if asking if it was okay to continue.

Fujiwara shrugged nonchalantly, "With the death of the Emperor, the undercurrents beneath the water will naturally emerge."

"It's not surprising that the Fatui would do something at this time."

"This is a game between two countries and it will not change according to my will."

"So, it doesn't matter what Ningguang said."

Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "She said that after the Emperor was killed, the Fatui have been stirring up trouble in Liyue."

In fact, she wanted to say that the Fatui were bad.

But considering that Qianhua is present, it might be a bit uncomfortable for Qianhua to listen to it.

So I didn't say it.

After all, in her opinion, as a friend of Zhongli and a close friend of Ganyu, Qianhua is different from other Fatui executives.
