Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"I am a remnant of the benevolent nature of the Dragon King Ratna, representing the will to make a covenant, a lofty heart, and the harmony of coexisting with humanity."

"To the best of one's ability."

The little girl shook her head frantically; she didn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it!

"No! I am the Dragon King of Ruotu, a creation born of elemental crystals, bearing the power and memories of the earth. I am as old as the mountains and seas, and am by no means an ally of ants!"

Hearing Ruo Tuo say such things about his master, Jiang Bai really wanted to retort.

You're so strong, yet you still lost to me, an ant, just now?

However, judging from Zhongli's expression, he ultimately did not speak.

Unlike the woman who was a follower of the Salt Demon God last time, Ruoduo is a close friend of his master.

It's not something he can criticize casually.

Kun Jun shook his head. "Morax is not an ant."

"The god of ants is nothing but ants!" Ruoda scoffed at his words.

His memories are filled only with the pain of the destroyed ley lines and the resentment that was sealed away.

"You've forgotten too thoroughly. The person who truly appreciates Morax is you, and also me."

"What you have forgotten is stored in my heart. If you are the memory of the earth, then I am the memory that coexists with people."

Kunjun reached out his hand and shared his memories with Ruoduo.

Although these memories may be forgotten again over time, they are real.

As long as the contract remains in effect, Kunjun will forever remember their story.

Just as a bamboo shoot breaks through the earth, the enormous Dragon King arrives on the ground for the first time.

The person ahead of him gave him eyes that could see things clearly.

He opened his eyes, and the first person he saw was him.

The person in front of me was as dazzling as the sun.

The heavens move and all things manifest; mountains and seas take on new forms.

Stars rise from the barren land, shining as brightly as the sun.

This is their contract, and also a testament to their friendship.

Chapter 658 Is there any way to get Ruoda to stay?

"The girl has disappeared!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

Zhong Li was not surprised.

"It has been resealed."

This is a seal he set up himself, but it has been slightly loosened.

Ruoduo, who was not fully awake and had just been defeated, was in a very low state. With the power of the seal amplifying this, it was inevitable that he would be resealed.

"Can't we release them?"

Jiang Bai felt that the friendship between his master and the Dragon King Ruo Tuo was extraordinary.

Sealing the Dragon King Ruoduo here was also a painful thing for the master.

Zhongli shook his head. "If wear and tear were reversible, why would I seal it here?"

Even though Ruo Tuo had just received the memories from Kun Jun, those memories would soon be overwritten by the memories of the earth.

He had tried many methods to slow down the wear and tear on Roda, but no matter what he did, the wear and tear persisted.

Ruoduo's memories of the past were gradually fading and being forgotten.

"What about Kunjun? Can he continue to exist?"

Jiang Bai felt that if Kunjun, who carried Ruo Tuo's will, could continue to exist, this ending might not be considered a tragedy.

“I will soon return to the body of the Dragon King Ratna.”

"Is there really no other way?" Jiang Bai was a little unwilling.

"The time I spent getting to know you all has been a wonderful memory for me."

None of them spoke. After a brief encounter, an unknown period of separation followed.

It would have been better if they had never met, but having met, and given his complicated relationship with Zhongli, this situation makes one feel melancholy.

Perhaps the only one who wasn't saddened by this separation was Kunjun.

For him, being able to see Morax again was already a happy thing.

They are all long-lived creatures, and after a brief separation, they will always reunite.

Even if he doesn't remember Morax after their next meeting,

But as long as the rock remains, one day he will remember everything.

"Morax, your name is now Zhongli, isn't it?"

Kunjun looked at Zhongli.

For Morax, abandoning his divine status and walking the earth again as a mortal was almost an impossible thing.

He loved the people of Liyue so much that he had never let go of them for thousands of years.

As time went by, my good friend also changed a lot.

“Exactly.” Zhongli nodded gently.

"No, I still prefer to call you Morax."

Having gotten used to calling him Morax, it's hard to accept calling him by another name.

"Whatever you like." Zhongli didn't care about the form of address.

Hu Tao had four or five different names for him.

"I haven't forgotten the crucial detail."

When he brought up the matter again, Zhongli smiled faintly.

"It was nothing, don't worry about it."

“Your eyes are intact, so you naturally don’t know about the blind dragon’s pursuit of sunlight. But I will not forget that Morax gave the Dragon King of Rota his eyes…”

Jiang Bai and Kong did not interrupt their conversation and walked out of the sealed barrier.

"Kong, do you think there's a way to prevent memories from being forgotten?"

"Use a notebook every day to deepen your memory, like Qiqi did?"

Jiang Bai shook his head; he had naturally considered this method as well.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Qiqi's memory cycle is three days. This method of deepening memory is very useful for Qiqi, but Ruoduo's wear and tear is not of the same nature."

"As you just saw, he remembers the emotions that were too intense, remembers that Morax sealed it away, but doesn't remember that they were once friends."

"The memory of their fighting side by side is too distant, and has been covered by the memory that later belonged to the earth."

“His memory span is very long, and these memories have shaped his personality and consciousness. Memories without a real sense of reality, on the other hand, are like watching a performance or reading a novel; they are quickly forgotten and do not evoke a sense of immersion.”

Kong also felt a headache.

This situation seems to have no solution.

He frowned in thought, suddenly recalling the ley line projection he had encountered in Inazuma.

"Do you think it's possible to use ley lines?"

"How so?"

The general recounted an incident from the movie "Inazuma and Rai".

At that time, the Divine Cherry Tree was attacked by a dark monster, and some of the memories and emotions stored within it were released.

Although they existed for only a short time, they completely changed the false eternity that Ray movies once claimed.

They also met Raiden Shin.

The sacred cherry tree planted 500 years later took root and sprouted 500 years ago, and protected the entire Narukami Island when it was in its most critical moment.

The power of time is like a miracle.

Perhaps they too can create a miracle using the ley lines.

“The ley lines record memories and emotions. If we can extract these memories and emotions and regularly infuse them into the Naga King of Ruotu, then we should be able to solve this problem, right?”

"The problem is, how do we extract it?" Jiang Bai asked the crucial question.

The two looked at each other, both bewildered.

Okay, this question can also be rejected.

They simply do not have the ability to extract memories and emotions from the earth's veins.

Not to mention accurately tracing back through countless memories the events of a thousand years ago when Ruoduo fought alongside the Rock King...

She covered her face.

"We'll have to put this matter on hold for now. We'll see if other countries have the technology and capability for this later."

The two temporarily ended the topic, and Jiang Bai was very curious about Dao Qi's situation.

"Did Lei's movies really fight the general for 500 years and never lose?"

Using 500 years of battle to make a general rewrite his underlying code, that's truly amazing.

Also, wouldn't it be tiring to fight for 500 years?

"I'm not sure about that, but it should be. With Raiden's help, I crossed the river of time to travel 500 years into the future and brought back the Raiden movie from 500 years later..."

Jiang Bai originally felt that he was not too far from being a god, and that with some effort, returning to his peak state wouldn't be a problem.

But when he heard that Lei had fought continuously for 500 years, he suddenly felt that he was far inferior to him.

It's been 500 years, and he can't keep up with fighting for five days straight.

The difference between humans and gods is truly like heaven and earth.

Of course, it could also be due to the different forces used.

He did not use elemental power when he fought against Tenri.

In terms of using elemental power, he is naturally inferior to these gods who have already reached the pinnacle of the elements.

All I can say is that the journey is long and we still need to work hard.

Zhongli and Ruotuo had already left the sealed space and overheard their conversation.

Ruoda became somewhat interested in their somewhat far-fetched idea.

"Your idea is not entirely without merit."

Chapter 659 You'd better think about the consequences.

"Do you have a way?" Jiang Bai and Kong's hope was rekindled.

Kun Jun pointed to his head, "The memories you want are now in my mind."

"However, you should think carefully about the consequences."

What are the consequences?

"Just as you just said, the deepening of the memory will not make Naga King Ruoduo feel real. He does not possess this memory himself, and the infusion of the memory will only make him feel abrupt and absurd."

"When the memories of fighting alongside Morax contradict the memories of the earth, which one will he believe? Will his mind remain sane? Will his mental state deteriorate further?"

"Now that the Rock King has passed away, what can you do to deal with his madness?"

Kunjun asked a series of questions, leaving the two of them speechless.

With the Rock King Emperor gone, Zhongli can no longer act under Morax's identity.

When the Dragon King Ruoduo, freed from his seal, went mad, who could possibly handle him at his peak power?
