Bored, I want to see rivers of blood!

The second reason is that he is a disciple of Ming Shen. Even though he has not married yet, his future is already determined. Qianye will marry the current human god priestess Coral Palace Yuhai of Haiqi Island because of his identity.

Although Master Ming Shen and Torachiyo didn't say it explicitly, they would always mention this name in his ears, if doing so could help Haiqidao integrate smoothly into Inazuma. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, Qianye would still consider Torachiyo's kindness in raising him for many years...

I agreed to this matter because of Master Ming Shen's kindness and so on...

This is marriage alliance, a common method used by the Inazuma families. Even in other countries, this behavior is quite common. Qianye is in this situation...

Therefore, he could only silently ignore Wendy's feelings. He rejected her in the most gentle way possible, every time. When Wendy confessed her feelings to him, Qianye always pretended not to hear. It was Wendy who harassed him in a series of ways...

As long as the behavior did not touch his bottom line, Qianye would still allow him to do so.

…………

After Wendy vented her emotions, he felt very depressed. Sitting next to Qianye, looking at Wendy who was no longer as lively as before, Qianye couldn't help but soften his heart. Dangerous things. I shouldn't encounter them again now, right?

I won't force myself like that anymore. Qianye decided to give up the dangerous way of cultivation in order to make Wendy happy. Qianye gently held Wendy's cheek...

"Okay, I can promise you. I won't do such dangerous things again..."

"Is this true?"

"really!"

Seeing Qianye slapping his chest muscles, Wendy had completely believed him. However, in order to add some insurance, Wendy also asked suspiciously:

"Qian Ye, you are not lying to me again, are you?"

"Of course not. I have never lied. You should be able to trust the reputation of the ghost tribe, right?"

"I know Inazuma's ghost tribe. They have never lied to anyone, and you grew up among the ghost tribe. Naturally, you can be considered half a ghost tribe member. I can trust your credibility. However, verbal promises don't count..."

Listening to Wendy's words, Qianye also understood. Wendy believed in himself, but he was still afraid that he would do the kind of suicidal training when his emotions got the better of him. Therefore, there should be an agreement as a guarantee. And now the person who knows the most about contracts in the whole of Teyvat is on his way...

Don’t ask Qianye how he knew it. Listening to the voice of the earth is trustworthy.

After Qianye explained, Zhongli followed him to the tavern. He was soon brought to Qianye's table. After listening to Wendy's words and Qianye's assurance, Zhongli stroked his chin.

Qianye had used himself as a witness to the contract twice before, but previously he had signed the contract through Mora. But now he was witnessing it in person, which made it even more valuable...

…………

"The contract has been concluded. Those who violate it will be punished by being eaten by rocks..."

After hearing Zhongli's words, Wendy was still a little worried. He turned to look at Qianye and said

"Now I already believe you 100%, but can you give me a little more confidence and a little more trust?"

Listening to Wendy's words, Qianye narrowed his eyes. But Wendy did not stop his behavior, he kept looking at Qianye with his eyes. Qianye also thought a lot, as if this was not a protection for Qianye. It was like a non-aggression treaty, and he really couldn't stand the torture of the atmosphere...

Qianye finally spoke. He looked at Wendy seriously and said:

"I swear on the honor of the ghost clan that I, Qianye, will never violate this contract."

"Not enough. You can only be considered half a ghost, even though you grew up in the ghost tribe. You have learned the culture of the ghost tribe, but your statement is not guaranteed at all."

"I have sworn an oath, and I always keep my word. I...will never violate the contract..."

"Then quickly find a way to convince me, so that I can truly trust you without reservation."

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed as if this contract could affect the world. Zhongli was completely speechless. Wasn't it just an ordinary personal contract? There was no price, but he had to witness it in front of him. Moreover, even if he witnessed it, it still felt not enough...

Wendy, do you have no confidence in Qianye? After such a long time together, do you have no confidence in him at all? Zhongli kept roaring in his heart as he looked at Wendy and raised his little finger. He just looked at the speechless Qianye and said

"Try to hold this finger, and don't change it for a hundred years... Do you understand?"

Hearing this declaration again, Qianye seemed to think of the disciple Chris who had made such a promise with him in Mondstadt. And now, Wendy was also going to make such a promise. This was really a kind of fate...

Thinking of this, Qianye also followed suit and held Wendy's little finger with his little finger. The two made an agreement, and after it was all over. Wendy finally let go of his worries. He felt that as long as he stayed by Qianye's side, it didn't matter even if he didn't accept his feelings...

Wendy already felt extremely happy to be able to travel with him.

Chapter 98 The So-called Voice of All Things

After drinking, Qianye met Zhongli again in the suburbs. At this time, Zhongli felt the changes in Qianye. The five months of wind and rain, thinking alone.

Qianye didn't go crazy at this time. Zhongli felt that this person was strong inside. He could think alone without talking to anyone. After five months, his personality and his heart were still as bright and sincere as at the beginning. Such a person...

Why was she born in Inazuma? How great would it be if she was born in Liyue?

With emotion, Zhongli watched Qianye's actions. At this moment, Qianye closed his eyes. His mind could hear and see everything completely. Everything that happened on the earth was as if it was natural.

After pondering for a long time, Qianye looked at Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, you have worked so hard over the years. Thank you for your dedication over the years."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's nothing. To me, you are like a father to Liyue. Thank you for your selfless dedication..."

Zhongli remained silent. At this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil, because he understood Qianye's meaning too well. Qianye had seen it all. He had seen the past and the present. Everything that happened on the entire land of Teyvat could not escape his eyes...

This was his own talent, and Qianye had actually learned this talent. How could Zhongli not be surprised?

However, the surprise was far from over. Qianye picked up a piece of grass at random. It was an object without any lethality, and even the roots and leaves were so soft.

At the moment Qianye casually threw it, the green grass penetrated deep into the rock. Zhongli saw clearly that it was not attached with any elemental force. Not even its own will was infused into it, but it penetrated straight into the deep of the hard rock.

This impossible thing just happened in front of Zhongli, and he watched it all in shock. And Qianye finally spoke.

"Mr. Zhongli, did you see that?"

"You mean, this unique technique of yours?"

"Not really. My skills are far from being able to release them at will."

Looking into Zhongli's eyes, Qianye walked behind him. He put his arm around Zhongli's shoulders and spoke softly.

"This is what I realized when I turned into a stone statue. Rocks breathe. They have emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness at every moment. They are making their own sounds. To be precise, they are breathing..."

"And this move of mine was achieved through the Shindai Archery and Rock Rain. However, it is not perfect. I do not have the ability to use fragile objects to break rocks anytime and anywhere. The move I achieved now is just a coincidence..."

Listening to Qianye's words, Zhongli understood. Qianye wanted to get his help. As the God of Rock, he also wanted to get the ability to use this move, and now was the chance to get it. Zhongli had no intention of letting it go. He looked into Qianye's eyes and said:

"Young friend Qianye, do you want me to help you complete this move?"

"With time, I will be able to use this move at any time. Today, I am just asking a hypothesis..."

Zhongli's eyes widened as he listened to Qianye's words. Qianye was talking to himself.

"Rocks can make sounds and have their own emotions. The same is true for other animals. What about plants? What about water? Do wind, snow, and fire have their own thoughts, just like rocks?"

"Yes, although I have never thought about it. But, I can tell you for sure. Yes, they also have their own ideas. So, you who said this..."

Looking at Qianye's somewhat sad eyes, Zhongli kept asking

"Do you want to apologize to them? Or have you decided to learn the method of fasting..."

Qianye didn't say anything. He put down his hand that was holding Zhongli's. He turned around and looked up at the cuckoo bird that was kicking away the eggs of other birds on the tree. Then he looked at the ground... The taller grass was competing for nutrients with the shorter grass and continued to grow.

Then, Qianye looked into the distance again. The wolves were besieging the wild boar with its cubs. The cruel scenes appeared one by one in Qianye's eyes.

Qianye didn't say a word, but he seemed to have said a lot.

All things in the world are trying to live and grow. This is the meaning of the cruelty of nature, and Zhongli also understands it. Qianye is very kind, but... that is more of a kindness to humans...

It's like, do you remember how many grains of rice you have eaten so far?

After waiting for a long time, Qianye finally spoke.

"Mr. Zhongli, so far, humans have wiped out many creatures in order to survive. Humans have made weapons to hunt more conveniently in order to live more easily. Humans have cut down trees to satisfy their own desires. Humans have kept animals in captivity and bred them..."

"All these human behaviors are just for survival, for living. If people don't eat, they will starve to death, just like the conflict between sheep and wolves. This is the way of survival, and I have never had any objection to it."

"Is there any difference between humans and beasts? I cannot understand the meaning, nor can I explain too much. However, I know clearly that I am a human being, so I will not have any opinion on humans themselves..."

Zhongli was silent, and finally. Zhongli smiled helplessly, and then. Zhongli seemed to have let go of a lot, and hugged Qianye's shoulders intimately and said

"Really? I finally understand why Wendy likes you so much, and I... I'm also a little in love with you..."

"As long as Mr. Zhongli likes it, I just hope you don't like it as much as he does."

"Haha, you little rascal..."

Zhongli knocked on Qianye's head with a smile and scolded him, and then the two began to talk about the voice of all things, just like Qianye's question. Since all things have thoughts and breaths, can Qianye attack with any object? Just like Qianye attacked the rock...

Zhongli also started his research. After Zhongli joined, Qianye's research speed increased rapidly. In just one week, Qianye had already achieved the point where he could use any object to break rocks at any time and anywhere.

And this is just the first step. Qianye has too much to do. He wants to go one step further and use any object to break anything after being able to break rocks. By listening to everything, Qianye has already formed a theory of technique...

Theoretically, Qianye could possibly achieve that.

(To be continued in the next chapter)

Chapter 99 Star

[In the eighth month, Qianye and Zhongli continued to study and successfully created a unique technique in the world of Teyvat, which is the sound of all things.]

[Through constant research, listening to the sounds of plants, the sounds of air, and the sounds of water, Qianye has learned more than just the technique of breaking rocks.]

[He can break rocks with a tiny bit of force. Even the hardest steel cannot withstand the most fundamental attack. He can withstand any kind of attack. Even the simplest rock has flaws.]

Qianye was bathed in the storm, and the changes at this time were visible to the naked eye. Qianye's mind was no longer just the fighting temperament before, he was like an old man. An old man immersed in peace, every move brought a calm temperament...

"The heart is as still as water, and the battle is as fierce as a killing god. When it moves, it is as shocking as a rock, and when it does not move, it is as peaceful as a mountain. This is what is called a clear mirror and still water..."

Zhongli commented like this while looking at Qianye in the heavy rain. Qianye slowly walked towards Zhongli, as if the rain had avoided him. Qianye walked towards Zhongli step by step.

"Mr. Zhongli, how am I now?"

"Your temperament has been completely transformed. There is a transcendent aura in your every move. In other words, you have now truly reached the immortal realm that people pursue."

Listening to Zhongli's comments, Qianye smiled. Now he felt that the battle with Ming Shen was no longer necessary. He had been freed from the will to fight, and his heart was as calm as water. His will and soul had reached eternity...

Even though he had such thoughts, Qianye would still fight with Ming Shen. If Qianye had been determined to fight her before, now, fighting with Ming Shen was unnecessary for him.

"So, do you still want to study now?"

"Of course, knowledge is necessary. So I will naturally think about practicing, and the method of practicing the Voice of All Things..."

Qianye didn't say it clearly, but Zhongli understood what he meant. Qianye knew that he had recorded it. There was no intention to destroy it. Although this method of cultivation was almost impossible for ordinary people to learn, the things left by the predecessors were not meaningless.

Just like a technique. After countless people's improvement, the technique itself may have some problems. However, as long as you keep learning and improving, you will still make progress...

[In the ninth month, Qianye began to learn Rock Rain. Proud of his previous experience of turning into a stone statue, his perception of the rock element was now as if it was innate. Qianye could already easily create a rock statue, and summon countless rock spears and rock spikes with a raise of his hand. Everything was like a natural process, and Qianye naturally learned Rock Rain...]

[Of course, this doesn't mean the end. Zhongli still has a big move, Tianxing. The destructive power of this move is unimaginable. If...]

[If Qianye once again fights Zhongli with all his strength, the chances of winning will become quite unpredictable. Previously, Qianye relied on the partial intelligence he got from Ruotuo Dragon King to plan step by step, but... even so. This move of Tianxing almost destroyed Qianye's countless plans...]

[If Qianye had not comprehended the power of the Stand, and he had fought Zhongli alone, then failure would have been inevitable. Because, at that time, Qianye had tried his best to destroy Tianxing. And Zhongli still had the ability to fight...]

[However, he was too arrogant. He thought that move was enough to win, and his attention was more and more focused on Qianye. Instead, he ignored that Qianye Star could also use the secret technique. He was hit head-on without any defense...]

[This is the foundation of Qianye's victory. If it were Zhongli now, Qianye would have a hard time defeating him. During this time, he also comprehended the power of a substitute and could summon his original body. Then, he also comprehended part of the voice of all things...]

[In the tenth month, Qianye began to learn complex formulas. Tianxing is not just a change of rock elements, but more about the implementation of will. The stronger the will of an individual, the stronger the power brought by this move.]

[The second is the formula. The rock element is closely related to the earth veins. Zhongli used saltpeter, sulfur, coal and other earth vein products to form the stars. Of course, this is just Zhongli's simplest move. He would use this move to fight ordinary monsters...]

[And if you want to achieve the Heavenly Star of Zhongli's war with the demon god, this move will take longer. Because the formula is quite difficult, it is simply not something that a human can learn. ]

Qianye looked at the pile of information in front of him and Zhongli wearing glasses. Qianye kept banging his head against the table. He said with a dead heart:

"Mr. Zhongli, why does your Sky Star move look so much like a nuclear bomb?"

"Nuclear bomb? I don't think so. I feel like this move requires more formulas. When you were learning the Poem of the Wind God, shouldn't you have found it difficult as well?"

"No, I feel your move is much more difficult to learn than the Poem of the Wind God."

Listening to Qianye's words, Zhongli silently locked the door. Then he set up several rock element locks. Now, Qianye could only face the mountains of information...

Looking at the headache-inducing information, Qianye could only stay here and continue studying.

[In the eleventh month, Qianye began to add uranium and deuterium, products of the earth veins, to the Tianxing. In the small space, Qianye looked at the power of the explosion and was still not satisfied. Then, he began to study continuously. He read the materials and learned the key formulas...]

【As he studied, Qianye felt more and more that the Tianxing that Zhongli used during the war against the demons was actually a nuclear bomb. Of course, he thought so. Qianye continued to study the information and learn alchemy.】

[In the twelfth month, Qianye finally completed it. He mixed uranium, plutonium, deuterium, tritium and other special earth vein products in the right proportions. Then, with the pressure and impact of the sky falling, the continuously fissioning stars would produce a huge explosion, and so on...]

[The Secret Star that Zhongli often used during the Demon God War is now complete. Because of the unique geographical environment of Teyvat, Zhongli's Secret Star is rarely polluted by elements, and any elemental pollution will be absorbed by the Hilliculers. ]

Seeing Zhongli finally learn his ultimate move, he was very pleased. In this way, if there is any danger in the future, Zhongli can use Qianye's name to release the star to protect him. It's really happy to think about it...
