"Mr. Zhongli, do you want to come with me?"

"Nope." Zhongli shook his head.

"Why?" Jiang Bai did not give up.

"Not interested."

"Let's go, didn't we go there last time? I can't delay anything...... "Jiang Bai tried to grind hard bubbles.

Jiang Bai's trick is not suitable for everyone, and it won't work here in Zhongli.

He didn't dare to grab Zhongli's arm like Hu Tao and be coquettish, so he could only use verbal offensive to try to change Zhongli's decision.

Although he was a little casual in front of Hu Tao, he still had to maintain his image in front of others.

"No, no."

Zhongli's attitude is quite firm, if you don't go, you don't go.

But Jiang Bai's unrelenting grinding made him feel strange.

"You seem to want me to go?"

"Yes, yes!" was seen through, and Jiang Bai generously admitted.

"Mr. Zhongli, what do you think of this Rock King Emperor? Rate it! ”

"I'm a mortal, how can I evaluate the gods well?" Zhongli quietly drank a cup of tea, wanting to see what this guy wanted to ask.

"Why did you suddenly ask me to evaluate the Rock King Emperor?"

"The hall master told me some of the deeds of the Rock King Emperor, you are very knowledgeable, I want to hear what you think."

Jiang Bai pinched his shoulders and tried to be courteous.

"You can talk to me in a private capacity, please Xiandian is approaching, I'm really curious."

Zhongli asked rhetorically, "What kind of god do you think the Rock King Emperor is?" ”

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said:

"In contrast to the Aeolus Gods who only appeared in Mondstadt in times of crisis, the Emperor of the Rock has been diligent in his efforts to send down divine revelations every year to lead the development of Liyue. It's just ......" Jiang Bai changed his language.

"But is he interfering with Liyue too often?

"Liyue is more than 3,000 years old, right? For such a long time, the Emperor of the Rock has appeared every year to guide the direction of Liyue's development, and I feel that the Emperor of the Rock is like a worried old father, who is afraid that his "son" will have problems, so he has to come out every year to worry about it......

This is Jiang Bai's truest feeling when he hears that the Emperor of the Rock will descend divine revelations every year.

For more than 3,000 years, such a long time has appeared every year, and the rock god can be called a reserved industry and conscientious.

Before he went to Mondstadt, he thought that the gods of other countries were similar to this, but after listening to Barbara talk about the deeds of the Anemo God, he realized that he was wrong.

Not every god is as discreet as the Emperor of the Rocks.

Zhongli couldn't deny Jiang Bai's words, "It's really appropriate for you to say that. ”

The relationship between Emperor Iwa and Liyue is truly like that of a worried old father and son.

Even though the "son" is already 3,000 years old, the old father is still not at ease.

"My limited knowledge of the Rock Emperor is certainly biased, but I'm an outsider who hasn't been in Liyue for a long time can only see so much."

Jiang Bai talked about the deeds he heard about the Wind God in Mondstadt, and he was impressed:

“…… Although I can't remember the past, the world I was in before should have no gods, and naturally there was no gods to guide how to develop.

】

"The people of Liyue are happy, they have a god who thinks about them in everything, and they have the protection of the immortals, and they are protected by these powerful people."

That's a good thing, but in a way, it's also a bad thing.

"But when the god is gone, these immortals are gone, and there is a good chance that they will lose their ability to deal with the crisis......"

Zhongli blew on the hot tea in the cup, took a sip, and chuckled:

"You're underestimating the people of Liyue."

The Liyue people are not a race that will mess with the gods and immortals once they disappear.

They are resolute, intelligent, dedicated, and brave, and have performed countless miracles with their weak mortal bodies.

"Five hundred years ago, when a catastrophe swept through Teyvat, a tide of dark beasts poured into the borders of various countries, and the Emperor of the Rock was not in Liyue at that time, but it was the Millelith Army and the Immortals who protected the people of Liyue."

Speaking of the events of five hundred years ago, Zhongli's expression was also a little dark.

There were so many things that happened five hundred years ago that they had a big impact on the whole of Teyvat.

Fortunately, the Millelith and the Immortals were left behind, otherwise Liyue would have suffered an unbearable catastrophe.

He drank the tea from his cup, leaving only the heat to disperse from the empty cup.

"But one thing you're right about is that humans probably don't need gods."

"Huh? That was not what I meant! Jiang Bai was stunned.

Zhongli said that he couldn't do it directly.

Humans don't need gods? That's not what he was trying to say!

"Everything has a meaning for its existence, and since the gods exist, they have a meaning. Mr. Zhongli's words are a bit rebellious! Jiang Bai's eyes were bright with suspicion.

Originally, he was just trying to do it, but he didn't expect Zhongli to expose himself directly!

Look, isn't this an attempt to subvert the rule of the gods?

Zhongli laughed and threw the question back, "What do you think?" Do humans need gods? ”

"Gods can give shelter to mankind, can guide mankind, can give humans more powerful power, of course humans need gods!" Jiang Bai said it categorically.

Jokes, he's from the hall master's faction.

The hall master revered the Emperor of the Rock King so much, and he also felt that the Emperor of the Rock was a very good deity, and he was dedicated to supporting the development of Liyue.

Such a good god, he doesn't want to subvert her rule!

Mr. Zhongli doesn't want to pull him on board!

Zhongli poured Jiang Bai a cup of tea unhurriedly and said slowly:

"However, what you said can be done by human beings themselves. Humans themselves can give shelter to their own race, and humans don't really need the guidance of the gods, as for the great power, what do you think of your power to blow up the Nail of the Cold Sky? ”

Zhongli didn't know what Jiang Bai was thinking, but it was the first time he had told someone about these words.

Do humans need gods?

He pondered this question for a long time, and when he saw that the Nail of the Cold Sky was blown up, he got an answer.

Humans don't really need gods.

Perhaps, to put it another way of speaking, gods are not a necessity for humans.

The old friend in Mondstadt must have recognized this early on, and has allowed Mondstadt to flourish freely.

Jiang Bai was really stopped by Zhongli.

It is true that there are some things that humans can do without the need for gods, but that does not mean that the merits of the gods can be denied.

Jiang Bai scratched his ears and cheeks and tried to convince Zhongli, "But, this is different!" If there are no gods? How could humans survive the ancient war of the Demon Gods? ”

"But the Daedric War is long gone......"

"It's gone, but it doesn't mean that the merits of the gods don't exist, and just because the world is peaceful, it can't be said that human beings don't need gods anymore!"
