Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

Carrying the expectations of others can be stressful.

Lu Sheng is a pure love party, pure love for himself. Everything he does is based on extreme selfishness. He will get rid of anything that hinders him and abandon anything that restrains him without hesitation.

People like this can't stand the so-called heroic halo.

Today he considers the people, tomorrow he considers the cats and dogs, and he will be dumbfounded when his opponent randomly takes a few hostages.

Yep! I hate nagging people the most! Why do you think so much about others?

"No need to say thank you, I have a small request, I wonder if Tianquanxing can agree to it?"

Lu Sheng still said the same thing, it’s equal exchange and no one owes anyone anything.

"You said."

"I need to share information with Qixing and the General Affairs Department."

As soon as the words came out, Ningguang and Keqing were both confused.

Is there any information about Liyue that is worth sharing?

"What kind of information do you want to share?"

Lu Sheng replied: "Don't worry, I know the rules. I won't touch any information related to the economy."

I'll watch it secretly anyway.

"All I want to know is information about the Abyss, Kanreya, and Xumi."

Now one of the five sinners who divided the power of the abyss in Kanreya has appeared.

Of the remaining four, except for the Evil Knight who was mentioned in the original plot, the remaining three only have brief descriptions.

But judging from the strength of Rhinedort and Evil Knight, each of these five old guys possesses strength that is equal to or even greater than that of the Seven Gods.

If you want more power from the abyss, you have to snatch food from their food bowls, and then you will be so scared that they will bite the food madly to protect it.

Since we will have to deal with each other sooner or later, it is always good to know more about the other party.

There is also information about the World Tree.

That broken tree must be burned. Don’t worry about what to do after it burns. The important thing is how to burn it.

Logically speaking, the Fatui would have more detailed information, but I am currently just a small debt handler and am not qualified to access inside information.

Liyue is so big and its national intelligence network shouldn’t be too bad, so just make do with it.

As for the Fatui... let's find a way to make some progress.

If it doesn't work, I can only sleep with the lady.

Mondstadt: Chapter 55: The Emperor's Forum

Ningguang pondered for a moment. She had calmed down from her extreme anger and turned back into the profit-first businessman.

After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded and agreed to Lu Sheng's request.

"Okay, I promise you, you can go to Ye Lan for this information, and I will ask her to do her best to cooperate with you."

"Thank you. If everything is ok, I'll leave first."

“Wait!” Lu Sheng turned to leave, but Ningguang stopped him, “Tomorrow is the day of Liyue’s Invitation to the Immortals Ceremony. It’s going to be very lively. You should come and join us.”

Lu Sheng nodded and quickly left the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"Aaaaaah! Master! I thought I would never see you again!"

"Master is a big liar. He said he was going to run, but he rushed forward anyway!"

"Next time we encounter something like this, let's run together, okay?"

As soon as he left the Jade Pavilion, Paimeng crashed into Lu Sheng's arms and burst into tears.

"Stupid, why are you crying?"

Walnut came over and explained, "This little girl was worried about you, so she ran to the border to look for you. Luckily, I ran into her when I was comforting the dead, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see you."

Lu Sheng grabbed Paimeng and lifted her up, narrowing his eyes and questioning: "Didn't I ask you to go back to Liyue Harbor and wait for me?"

"Uh... I had already left, but then I saw you being held hostage inside the border. You hadn't come out for a long time, so I couldn't help but go in to look for you. I didn't expect that after I went in, I could never come out again."

"Ah~" Lu Sheng sighed, put Paimeng down, and patted her head, "Just listen to me next time. I am not a waste, it's not that easy for me to die."

After that, he thanked Hu Tao again: "Thank you, Master, for bringing her back. This little thing is very important to me. It would be really troublesome if it was lost."

Hu Tao put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest, "You're welcome! We're all friends! Do you want to sit in my Wangsheng Hall? I'll play the suona for you!"

"Then go and bother me."

Seeing that Lu Sheng agreed, Hu Tao happily took him to the Hall of the Dead and enthusiastically introduced Liyue's funeral customs and supplies. She was so enthusiastic that she even wanted to personally arrange a one-stop experience for Lu Sheng.

“Hoohoo~ How’s it going? Are you not so opposed to death now? People come into this world with nothing, and after working hard all their lives, they can’t leave with nothing again, right? That would mean they’ve lived in vain! So, the people of Liyue believe in leaving in glory after death!”

Hu Tao was teaching people about funerals when a faint voice suddenly came from behind the hall.

"Not entirely true. The concept of regulated funerals in Liyue originated from a period of chaos thousands of years ago. At that time, the demons fought each other, and more people died every day than the day before. Those who were lucky enough to survive hoped that the souls of their relatives and friends could find peace after death and go to a pure land without war, disease, or killing. The gods heard their wishes, and so the world beyond the border was born."

"Old Zhong, do you have to tear me down to make me look unprofessional? Why don't you explain it yourself?"

Hu Tao turned around and complained, then whispered to Lu Sheng, "That man is a guest official of our Wangsheng Hall. His name is Zhongli. Although he is knowledgeable, his thoughts... are very pedantic and old-fashioned. He looks young, but his words and actions are more grandpa-like than my grandfather."

"Let's go. If you don't stay away from him, he'll tear down my stage again. I'll take you to play the suona!"

Hu Tao was about to leave with Lu Sheng when the steward of Wangsheng Hall suddenly walked in with a sullen face. Seeing a stranger beside the hall master, he was startled at first, then waved his hand, indicating that there was something important that needed to be discussed in private.

"Wait here."

She trotted to the butler, who whispered in her ear the news he had just received.

The innocent girl became dumbfounded after hearing the housekeeper's words. She stood there in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses.

The bad news from Qingce Manor reached Wangsheng Hall.

Obviously it was a big deal, but Hu Tao, the head of the hall, was not happy at all.

I hope that the business of Wangshengtang will improve, but definitely not in this way.

She returned to Lu Sheng in a daze, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do, so I can't take you to visit the Hall of the Dead today. Next time, I'll invite you next time if I have the chance..."

Lu Sheng probably guessed what was going on and nodded, "It's okay, I have plenty of time, it's more important to get down to business."

After Hu Tao and the housekeeper left, the faint voice from behind the hall sounded again.

"Guests who have come from afar, why not come in and have a cup of tea and chat."

Let me come? Then I came.

When Lu Sheng walked into the hall, he saw Lao Deng sitting upright on the armchair, sipping tea leisurely.

I felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Please take a seat."

Zhongli invited the other person to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The Geo King personally poured tea for me. I'm afraid there aren't many people in Liyue who can have such an honor.

Zhongli picked up the teacup, gently rotated the lid along the rim of the cup, and said calmly: "Are you used to this body? Do you need me to help you create a new one?"

The tea that Lu Sheng was about to swallow got stuck in his throat and he looked at Lao Deng in surprise.

"No need to look at me with such strange eyes. I know you and he are not the same person. There is no need to hide anything. I can also tell you my identity, but I think you have already guessed it."

"Not long ago... no, it should be not long after that, the original owner of your body went to Sky Island to awaken the law of nature, but was eventually defeated and fell, incurring divine punishment and destroying the seven nations. You have already learned about this at Wuwangpo from him who traveled back to the present."

"In fact, he was not the only one who returned from that world-destroying war."

"Not long after the divine punishment came, time and space reversed, and I returned to the present Liyue."

"I am the only one in Liyue who remembers what happened. Even the immortals have no recollection of the World Destruction War. I have never believed in history and memories because they can be modified. So I began to doubt my own memories. I did not launch a large-scale investigation, but quietly waited to see whether the development of the world was consistent with my memories."

Zhongli drank his tea silently and continued.

"Everything was normal at first, and then I heard the news that Tevarin had been killed."

"This conflicted with my memories, so I started investigating. I found out that the traveler who was supposed to challenge Heaven's Law fell into the arms of the abyss, and another outsider mistakenly came and became the new challenger."

"After the battle between you and Kong at Wuwangpo, I learned from what he said that those memories were real. The war of annihilation does exist in the future, and time has indeed been retraced to before the awakening of Heavenly Principle."

"In fact, my original plan was to make the three of you disappear forever in the world behind the border. This way, for the time being, no one will fantasize about challenging the laws of nature and bringing about the consequences of destroying the world."

Hearing Zhongli say these words in such a calm tone, Lu Sheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Little did he know that when he was immersed in the ecstasy of defeating the Gemini, it was also the most dangerous moment of his life.

Was the meteorite that hit the group of king beasts originally intended for himself?

His body became restless and the wind element under his feet began to condense. If Zhongli took action, he would run away immediately.

However, seeing that Lao Deng looked calm and composed, it seemed that he had no intention of taking any action.

"Why did you change your mind?" he asked.

Zhongli took a deep breath, closed his eyes and recalled: "I was originally a person from outer space, and I came to this land of Teyvat. After thousands of years, I witnessed too many beings who attempted to challenge the laws of nature."

"Humans, demons, dragon kings, and those who came later, one after another, walked on the path of overthrowing Heaven's Law. Times changed, civilizations rose and fell, until Heaven's Law and Sky Island became a legend in the minds of most people, there were still daring people who attempted to challenge Him."

"But now, Sky Island is still hanging in the sky, and Heavenly Justice is still sitting on the First Throne. No one has been able to shake Him for thousands of years."

"That blond traveler was the one who was closest to success in the past thousand years. He landed on Sky Island and defeated the Maintainer. However, when facing the law of nature, his strength was far inferior to that of the former Dragon King, and he still lost in the end."

"He is still more suitable to be a witness rather than a hero. If he had known this, he might as well choose the path of the Winter Queen. The Heart of God is in her hands. At least there is still a slim chance."

"And the reason why I suddenly changed my mind..." Zhongli opened his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng, "There will always be someone who wants to challenge the law of nature. Without you, there will be a new adventer sooner or later. He may be stronger than you and may really be able to defeat the law of nature. He may also be weaker than you and cannot even reach the Sky Island. Instead of gambling on that illusory possibility, it is better to let you give it a try. At least in my eyes, you have more hope than him."

Mondliyue: Chapter 56: Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill

"You called him trash and ruthlessly trampled on his dignity. You seemed to want to prove that you were better than him. I became interested in you. Compared to him, what can you do?"

Zhongli spread out his palm, and a shining heart of god floated on it.

"This is the God's Heart that I control. If you want to defeat Heavenly Law, seven God's Hearts are indispensable aids. They can raise your strength to the pinnacle of various elements. I originally planned to give it to Zhidong, but now I don't know if she has retained her memory, so I changed my mind. I will keep the God's Heart in my hands for the time being and wait for you to take it."

"Wait for me to get it? What do you mean?"

When Lu Sheng saw the Heart of God, greed flashed in his eyes.

Zhongli's tone remained calm, "After you prove that you have the ability to reach Sky Island."

When Lu Sheng heard this, he laughed out loud.

You are confusing cause with effect! Only if you give me the Heart of God can I destroy Sky Island!

Yep! I've already landed on the island, why do I need the Heart of God?

"The Heart of God is just a helper. If you hope to use it to defeat the law of nature, forget it. It is better to stay in Liyue and live the rest of your life as an ordinary person. Don't think about those unrealistic things anymore."

"If you want the Heart of God, then come and get it. But when the time comes, I will use all my strength to meet your challenge. If you can't take it, you will die in my hands. If you can take it, you can also take the power of me, the Rock King Emperor."

"So, think it over before you come back."

"If you can't do it, then I will choose the path of the Queen of Winter."

The power of the Rock King?

Lu Sheng was stunned for a second before he reacted. Is Zhongli going to give me his power and the Heart of God?

The prerequisite is to defeat him first.

Meet your challenges with all your strength...

Could it be that he was dreaming of the boundless killing scene thousands of years ago, the champion of the Liyue division of the Demon God Chicken Contest, and the Demon God Morax in his prime?

He estimated Morax's strength in his mind, and it seemed that he could suppress other demons with one shot.

That's okay, go take a shower and go to bed early.

I am currently at the level of an immortal. With the addition of demonization and time delay, I can be a little higher than an immortal, but I still can't touch a god, especially a champion like Zhongli who is a chicken-eating contestant.

The reason they were able to defeat the twins was because they were stupid. They let Rhinedot cheat them of their power and gave Huangmao the worst body.

"Can I check its authenticity?"
