"On the Xth day of the XXXX year of the Teyvat calendar, Morax, one of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World, the god of Liyue Rock, died on the spot of the Immortal Ceremony, and the whole country was grieved and the whole world was shocked."

- The History of Liyue

※※※

Rumble!!!

The huge dragon body fell, smashed over the table, and the ground cracked for three points, and the crowd suddenly erupted in exclamation, and then fell silent.

Everyone looked at the dragon that fell from the sky that day with incredulous eyes.

For a long time, someone said in a trembling voice: "This...... It's a joke......"

"Emperor...... Lord Emperor, did you fall? ”

"How so! Is it a prank!? ”

Shi Lan was stunned in the middle of the explanation, facing everything that happened suddenly, "The public opinion reached the heavens, and the emperor came, first head down to grab the land...... Forehead ......"

“？？？？”

He's full of question marks.

The emperor drank too much? Why are you lying here?

Paimon was even more incredulous: "Hey...... Stone man, this ...... Is it the emperor? How did you get it...... Didn't you stop the car? Like I often bump into tree branches? ”

Shi Lan just looked at the motionless dragon in the center of the field, his eyes were full of confusion: "No...... I don't know, I haven't seen the emperor......"

It was a big deal for him to fall, and the dragon's fall gave him a great impact that made him stop thinking.

"It shouldn't be the emperor......

A mess of rituals, the huge golden dragon was distorted and spread on the ground, the dragon's eyes were closed, and the dragon scales on its body reflected dazzling light in the sun, but the body did not move, as if it was ...... It's like dead!

Ningguang was more panicked than everyone else.

But as a seven-star, the more this situation is, the more she can't mess up.

She turned her head and glanced at Uncle Tian Keqing, and like herself, their eyes were full of shock and helplessness.

They had seen the Emperor.

This fallen dragon can be determined to be the true body of the emperor.

If it's false...... Why didn't the True Emperor show up?

She forced herself to compose herself, pacing into the dragon as everyone watched, reaching out to touch it.

When her fingertips touched the dragon's neck, her pupils shook.

There was a piercing coldness from the place where she touched, and even the dragon's whiskers were extremely stiff, and she dared to lift the dragon's eyes and see a cloud.

The sunlight became cold, making Ningguang feel like standing on the top of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.

"Emperor...... Dead ......"

“！！！！”

"What!!"

Yujingtai was in an uproar.

Alhaitham and Kayazzi pinched their chins, and the two of them squinted their eyes slightly, as if pondering the incredible scene.

The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"Brother Kaeya, what do you think?"

"Just as you think......"

"Really... Then things are very weird..."

"That's what you're talking about......"

The Rock Emperor is the oldest of the Seven Archons, and in the eyes of the people of Liyue, the Emperor is omnipotent, like a lighthouse on the sea, which is the belief of every Liyue person.

They couldn't accept that such an ancient god was now collapsing before their eyes!

The crowd was in a riot, and some people were red-eyed, unable to believe what Ningguang said: "How is this possible! The Emperor ruled Liyue for a thousand years! How could you die like this?! ”

"Lord Tianquan! Be careful with your words and deeds! How can you be so hasty in closing the coffin! It's fake! The emperor lives with heaven and earth, how can this be! ”

They were hysterical, they were in disbelief, they fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

"The emperor is gone...... Is Liyue going to be finished!? ”

"It's a farce! It's a conspiracy! What is the heart of the seven stars!! ”

"I'd rather believe it's a conspiracy of the Seven Stars! How could the emperor die!! I don't believe it! We don't believe it! ”

Sora fell into a state of confusion.

I thought that my second stop would go smoothly, and I wouldn't have to fight dragons like Mondstadt.

Before I could think of Liyue, the dragon himself died first!

If you don't die sooner or later, he died......

Who is reasoning with this!

"That...... Shi Lan. Kong tugged at Shi Lan's clothes: "The emperor really ...... Dead? ”

"Nope! When pigs fly! Shi Lan waved his sleeves violently, and was emotional: "It is impossible for the emperor to die!" ”

Paimon said, "But Ningguang has already said that the emperor has died... Isn't this dragon the Emperor!? ”

"It can't be!! Believe me! It's fake! ”

Shi Lan shook his head frantically.

His mind was in a state of confusion, but his instincts told him that something must be wrong!

He felt as if he had overlooked something important, but he couldn't remember it......

"It's all quiet!!" Ningguang shouted loudly and summoned the Millelith Army: "The emperor is assassinated!" Blockade the whole venue!! ”

"Order!!"

The Millelith Army moved in an instant, surrounding Yujingtai.

"What is this for! Ningguang, you actually suspect us people! Someone loudly questioned Ningguang's approach, "The Millelith Army's duty is to protect Liyue, and now you're having them use weapons against us Liyuers?!" ”

Ningguang's voice was cold, and his majesty was inviolable: "The emperor's death is really strange, don't be impatient, when I have investigated the suspicion, I will naturally let you go." ”

"Nonsense!"

"The emperor has died, and you are now surrounding us again, what is the intention of the seven stars!"

"The emperor is incomparably mighty, how can we ordinary people assassinate? I think you Seven Stars are writing and acting on your own, and you want a coup d'état to rule Liyue completely! ”

Ningguang looked at the crowd and shouted, "Liyue was originally the ruler of the Seven Stars, serving the Emperor. And the emperor never interfered with the Seven Stars, so how can he talk about a coup! ”

"I think you Seven Stars are not subject to the Emperor's checks and balances! A few years ago, Yu Hengxing had spoken disrespectfully to the emperor! It's just that the emperor has boundless considerations and doesn't care about you! And now, the emperor died tragically on the spot, and only you Qixing can do it! So far, how can you explain it?! Presumably, your seven stars were premeditated! ”

Ningguang's face was gloomy, and his voice became colder: "Conspiracy or not, there is the truth, no matter how you guess, today, no one is allowed to leave!" ”

The Millelith Army shouted, and raised their spears horizontally, surrounding the scene.

This is the way to go.

The man's words had already won the approval of many people, and now Ningguang's behavior was even more regarded by them as angry and corrupt.

"Seven Stars wants to kill people! Let's rush out together! Get out! Get the word out! Don't let Seven Stars get their way!! ”

"Rush, !!"

Crowd riots.

Those who believe and those who don't believe are each lost in the surging and chaotic crowd.

Many more don't want anything but to run away.

The Millelith struggled to resist the onslaught of the crowd, and they did not dare to make a move against the people, and for a time the wall was crumbling, and many people had already rushed out of the gap.

The thunder flashed, and Keqing intercepted it with the momentum of thunder.

"None of !! are allowed to go"

The dragon roared in the box, and a gap was cut out of the ground, in which the arcs were staggered, and no one dared to take a step forward for a while.

"It's the other way around...... It's the other way around! Seven stars are reversed! ”

"Lord Yuheng...... Do you really want to kill them all......"

Shi Lan ...... What are we going to do!! Paimon shouted anxiously.

"Seven Stars will not betray Liyue, and the Emperor is not dead at all...... It's a scam...... A hoax......" Shi Lan's voice was low, and his brain was spinning wildly.

He was sure that the emperor was not dead.

It has been recorded in history books that when a demon-level elemental creature dies, all the elemental power in its body will explode in an instant, causing a terrifying disaster.

The god of salt is the most vivid example.

The emperor is a rock god, and if the god dies, even if it is in the sky, its power cannot be felt on the ground.

From this point on, Shi Lan dared to ...... Wait a minute......

But if the emperor is not dead, then where did this dragon corpse come from? Why didn't the emperor's real body appear?

Or maybe it'......

Shi Lan thought of the worst consequences.

"Could it be that the emperor has already ...... It's just that it was thrown out today......? ”

The Emperor died, and Liyue was in great trouble.

Shi Lan finally showed a frightened expression, frozen in place, his eyes blank.

"He's delirious!" Seeing that Shi Lan didn't respond, Paimon was about to run, "Run, Traveler!" If we are arrested as suspects, it will be over! ”

Sora smiled bitterly: "How can I assassinate the rock god......

But Paimon's concern is understandable.

He was a traveler who had fought with Dvalin, and if he had really checked on him, not to say that he had a clear conscience, the delay alone would be enough to bear.

After much thought, Sora decides to run away with Paimon.

"What people! Hold it!! ”

"Get out of the way, I'm sorry!"

Of course, the Millelith couldn't stop him, and after breaking through a gap, he flipped down the stairs and fled frantically.

"Travelers... Why are you running away..."

Ningguang had already locked on him.

The light spreads, the golden streaks outlined, the throne of the Balance Instrument manifested, the condensation floating in the air, the three stars condensed, and the eyes fixed on the back of the blonde traveler.

Just as she was about to make a move, her eyes suddenly darkened.

"Shi Lan?" Ningguang frowned and looked at the young man standing in front of him.

Star Swirl hovered right in front of him, filled with powerful elemental power, and it would be dangerous to be launched at this distance.

Shi Lan was not afraid, as if Star Swirl didn't exist, and looked at Ning Guang and smiled weakly, "Sister, they are my friends." ”

Shi Lan believes in herself, she also believes in travelers, and she believes in Ningguang even more.

Ningguang's expression didn't change, and he took a deep look at Shi Lan and waved away Star Swirl.

She turned her back, "Do you know the consequences of letting the suspect go?" ”

"Leave it up to me, how?"

“……”

After a long time, she let out a long sigh, full of helplessness and tiredness.

Of course, she knew that the emperor was not dead.

But she knew that it was useless, the people did not understand what kind of disaster would be caused by the demise of a god, and they only doubted the Seven Stars now.

"I'll leave it all to you..."

There's so much to go on.

The emperor died suddenly, and the seven stars were on the cusp, can they correct the name of the seven stars, investigate the truth of the emperor's death, and figure out the causes and consequences of this matter.

That's everything that was given to Shi Lan. (End of chapter)
