Chapter 339: The Second Relic (5k)
"Hehe, the wise emperor is not wise, the god of wind did give me a holy relic."
Wang Daoyi didn't want to hide Zhongli, or rather, for Zhongli, Wang Daoyi absolutely believed it.
He can have the strength he has now, and most of it comes from Zhongli's gifts.
A Zhongli, a Nahida, is destined to be Wang Daoyi's most important ally in the future, and there are only the deepest secrets between them that need to be hidden.
Everything else can be communicated frankly.
Stretching out his hand, a small pendulum appeared in Wang Daoyi's hand,
Relic Istaru's pendulum.
Zhongli looked at the pendulum in Wang Dao's hand, and just nodded, without the idea of taking a look.
"It's this gadget, the last 'relic' that Istaru left to Barbatos, I didn't expect that guy Barbatos gave this thing to you so early."
Zhongli said the words of exclamation, but his tone was still flat, making people a little confused whether this matter was important or unimportant.
"The person you call the old dean, forget his name, he doesn't want to leave his name, and I don't want to mention it, so let's call him the old dean."
Originally, he wanted to tell the name of the old dean Wang Daoyi, but Zhongli paused and didn't say it yet,
"Just as you became my patron in the first place, the old abbot became Istaru's patron by chance, and gained a trace of time's power."
"As you know, the existence of the demon god level, even if the body dissipates and falls, the power and will they leave behind will still not dissipate, however, some demon gods leave behind resentment and harm for thousands of years, and some demon gods sacrifice themselves and return their power to heaven and earth."
"You have inherited the authority of Akhmar, and you should be able to perceive that Akhmar, as a powerful god, did not leave any demon god remnants, and this is because he chose to sacrifice himself."
"And Ishtarus, it's the same."
Zhongli said a rare piece of secrets,
"In the midst of a certain cataclysm, the Ruler of Time chose to sacrifice, and his power turned into a thousand winds and circulated in every corner of the Teyvat world, and the old dean also received a gift in his own opportunity."
Wang Dao nodded, but then thought of a question: "Then why didn't the old dean choose to land on Sky Island?" With his strength, he is not weaker than that Vanessa of Mondstadt, right? โ
"Landing on the Isle of Skye. That's not a good choice, the Divine Throne in the sky has never been reserved for mortals. โ
"A person with a Vision can be called Genshin Impact, but at what cost?"
"I am the God of Contract, and in my understanding, everything must have a price, and mortals have obtained the Vision of God through a strong desire, so what is the price?"
Zhongli whispered, turning his gaze to Wang Daoyi, and there was a lingering admonition in his eyes.
What is the price of the Vision?
Zhongli's sudden question stopped Wang Daoyi,
As one of the most important things in Teyvat's worldview, the Vision of God, what its price would be, Wang Daoyi had never thought about it.
But Wang Daoyi is not without contact with the secrets of the Vision of God,
From the first time he came into contact with the Great Tree King, the gentle god had told him that once he had accepted the Vision, the heavens would no longer be malicious towards him.
At that time, Wang Daoyi's understanding still thought that the Vision of God was an alternative kind of account.
But now it seems that the sky did not repay him with malice because after accepting the Vision, there was a different price to be paid.
What is the cost?
The condition for obtaining the Vision is that when a person makes a choice at a turning point of fate, and the desire is strong enough, the gods in the sky will cast their eyes and give them the Vision.
Well, the price. Is it a strong and strong desire?
Think about it, Lei Movie collects the heart of God to create a thousand hands and hundreds of eyes statues, isn't it just to pursue eternity and get close to heavenly principles!
The pursuit of eternity in Thunder Movies comes from Thunder and Lightning.
Raiden Zhen, this demon god whose wisdom even Zhongli admires, his god name is [Baal],
Although there is a shift in the understanding of eternity between the shadows and the true ones, there is no doubt that eternity is close to the Heavenly Principle, and the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes Statue can help the eternal to get closer to the Heavenly Principle.
But in the Pure Land of One Heart, those wishes that converged on the image of a thousand hands and hundreds of eyes were used by Yae Miko and became Ying's helper in defeating the thunder movie.
Judging from the information that Wang Daoyi has so far,
VisionโA strong and unwavering desireโAssist Eternity in approaching Heavenly PrinciplesโAssist the Traveler in defeating Thunder Movie.
There doesn't seem to be any particular correlation between this.
However, Wang Daoyi still captured a message, a strong and firm desire, there must be something special.
"The world needs fuelwood to work!"
An idea suddenly appeared in Wang Daoyi's heart, and it became stronger and stronger.
On the other side, there was a fluctuation in Zhongli's eyes, and then he picked up the teacup: "It seems that you already have your own ideas." โ
"Skye is a scam?" Wang Daoyi asked incredulously.
Zhongli shook his head: "Not exactly, but naturally, there will be a slight price for mortals to ascend to the Divine Throne on Sky Island, so that old dean is reluctant to ascend to the Divine Throne on Sky Island." โ
"He would rather die in the mortal world than ascend to the throne of the Isle of Sky"
Wang Daoyi couldn't imagine what kind of price was more desperate than watching himself die slowly.
"Okay, that's all the old dean's affairs can tell you, if you still want to know about him, ask him yourself next time."
Zhongli put an end to the topic with a loud voice, and then continued, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" โ
Wang Daoyi just wanted to speak, but there was a knock on the door of the private room, it was the waiter, and he was about to serve the food.
"Let's talk after dinner, don't let down the food."
Zhongli spoke, then picked up his chopsticks and ignored Wang Daoyi.
A series of delicacies were served on the table,
Zhongli was satisfied,
Wang Dao wanted to cry, this was all his Mora.
Although as the master of the desert and the lord of the red sand, he has the wealth of the entire desert on the surface, but in fact, Wang Daoyi is still very poor.
The little oil and water in the desert is difficult to maintain the operation of the red sand, and Wang Daoyi needs to transfer material assistance from the Akademiya.
It can't fill Wang Daoyi's purse at all.
Thinking that as a 'god', he was getting poorer and poorer, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but sigh,
Once upon a time, when he didn't set foot on the path of God, he was also wealthy,
Is Teyvat's law biased against the gods, and why would the gods not be able to save money for various reasons?
After the meal, the waiter walked in, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and refilled a new pot of tea.
"Mr. Zhongli, today's bill."
The waiter looked at Zhongli,
Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi,
Wang Daoyi waved his hand: "Today I have a treat, and the bill can be sent to the tea room at the dock." โ
"Okay, then I won't bother the two of you." The waiter wrote down Wang Daoyi's address, and then walked out of the box, and by the way, he also closed the door.
"Oh, go ahead now, let's talk, what's the problem."
I don't know why, Wang Daoyi felt that Zhongli's tone was much kinder after he was full of wine and food.
Shaking his head, throwing his ridiculous thoughts out of his mind,
How could the Emperor of the Rock King change his attitude towards himself because of a meal,
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Daoyi put a smile on his face, reached out to hold up the teapot, and refilled Zhongli's tea.
"Emperor, I want to ask about 'fate'."
"Fate? I do not know. โ
Zhongli's brief answer made Wang Dao stunned for a moment.
Then he looked at Zhongli in disbelief: "You, don't know? โ
Zhongli picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then nodded again in confirmation: "Yes, I don't know." โ
After a pause, Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi's disbelieving eyes, and slowly spoke: "I am the god of contract, the god of rock, the god of commerce, and everything in the world has given me all kinds of god names, but the word 'fate' does not belong to my domain, so I can't give you any answer." โ
Faced with the answer given by Zhongli, Wang Daoyi was silent for a while, and thoughts flowed in his mind,
He never thought that he would hear the word "don't know" in Zhongli's mouth,
Since he met Zhongli, no matter what questions he had, he could get answers from Zhongli.
Even if there are some things that Zhongli doesn't say, it's because of the restrictions of the original contract,
Rather than a simple sentence of not knowing.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Daoyi changed the question: "What do you think of travelers, does the existence of travelers have any impact?" โ
"Traveler?" Zhongli put down the teacup and looked at Wang Daoyi with pale golden eyes, with a little appreciation in his eyes, "It seems that you have already felt it, and when the traveler walks by, some events start to work." โ
"Is this a conspiracy?" Wang Daoyi asked, he was very worried, everything was a conspiracy planned by some being.
Zhongli shook his head indifferently: "No, this is fate. โ
The Fate King Dao was silent, the last time he heard this word, it was in the mouth of the Ruotuo Dragon King.
"Fate? Emperor, I don't understand. โ
"Hey, when you get to that position, you'll understand."
Zhongli waved his hand and began to be the Riddler again.
"Any questions?" Zhongli asked for a third time.
Wang Daoyi shook his head, what else did he have problems with,
After the Riddler communicated on this day, he felt that his CPU was going to burn, and he had to digest it for a while.
Zhongli nodded, Wang Daoyi has no problem, then it's up to him.
"Your time has been set."
Wang Daoyi knew that Zhongli was asking him when he would ascend to the gods.
Nodding, Wang Dao looked at him with expectation and desire: "It's decided, after the Lantern Festival, when Ying goes to Sumeru and opens Sumeru's fate line, I will use the fluctuation of the fate line to light up the last life star and ascend to the gods in one fell swoop." โ
He has affirmed that when Ying goes to a place, he will be entangled and encounter with people and things in a place.
So when Ying came to Sumeru, it must be the time when Sumeru's fate line fluctuated the most, and he just used the fluctuating fate line to light up the last life star.
Of course, before that, he still has to make two more big choices and point his life stars to five.
However, Wang Daoyi is not worried,
With the experience of lighting up the third life star, he has already made the choice of four or five life stars.
Both the desert and Liyue will light up a star for him.
"That's good, when you're ready, come to me again, and the contract of the Iwano's family should be over."
Listening to Zhongli's indifferent words,
Wang Daoyi suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart, the account between him and Zhongli was already difficult to pay off.
"Don't be sad, I said when I gave you the status of dependents, when you step into the personality of the demon god, you can get rid of the identity of dependents, this is my contract with you, and fulfilling the contract is the greatest respect for me."
Sensing the shame in Wang Daoyi's heart, Zhongli smiled and comforted him.
Comforted by Zhongli, Wang Daoyi reluctantly showed a smile and calmed his inner mood.
The two of them were silent for a long time, only the heat rising from the tea cup proved that the room was not still.
Wang Daoyi is soothing his heart,
Zhongli was thinking about something.
Long
Zhongli raised his head, looked at Wang Daoyi, stretched out his hand, and a small teacup slowly emerged, attracting Wang Daoyi's attention,
"Then, my youngest dependent, before ending this contract, accept my last gift." Zhong left the mouth.
"Emperor?"
Wang Dao was puzzled, he recognized the teacup.
"Looks like you remember this teacup."
"Of course I remember, when I was in the antique shop, I recognized your identity and returned this cup to you for safekeeping, at that time, An Degong was still a little disappointed."
How could Wang Daoyi forget this cup, without it, Wang Daoyi would not have been favored by Zhongli, and without Zhongli's favor, there would be no Wang Daoyi today.
"Haha, that's right, the fate and contract between you and me all started from this cup, and now, you have come to the last crossing, and the contract between us is about to end, then, this cup should not be kept by me, and it will be handed over to you again, which is . I'll give you one last gift. โ
Zhongli waved his hand lightly, and the cup slowly flew in front of Wang Daoyi.
However, compared to when Wang Daoyi handed it over to Zhongli for safekeeping, the cup now already exudes an inexplicably powerful aura.
Wang Daoyi still remembers the data of this cup:
โโ
Name: Inlaid turquoise dragon tooth cup
Story: The establishment of the Separation Collection was the first peak of Liyue, and the era of dragon tooth carving, also known as tooth carving, refers to the technique of carving dragon teeth into various utilitarian objects or works of art, as well as various dragon tooth products. Ancient Liyue's dragon tooth artifacts are carved to mimic bronze ornamentation, and the "Inlaid Turquoise Dragon's Tooth Cup" is an ingenious ancient art treasure.
Note: This is a national treasure, please be kind to it, with its cherishing degree, the emperor may have used it to drink.
โโ
But now, the attributes of this cup have undergone earth-shaking changes.
โโ
Name: Morax's Cup of the End of the Contract
Type: Empty Cup
Introduction: Life, death, time, space, reason, this is the water cup that represents space.
Tale:
Proof of Morax's encounter with Morax's youngest dependent, a contract outside of fate was established when the youngest family returned the cup to Morax.
Now that the young family has gone their own way, the contract outside of fate is coming to an end.
The mug once contained Morax's friendship with his old friends, and now it contains Morax's love for his family.
Morax gave it back to his youngest family as a final gift.
Note: This is the last gift from a great being to his family, which can increase you across the board, including but not limited to health strength, elemental mastery, elemental recovery speed, elemental strength, and many other aspects.
Note: This relic is already in a powerful state, and more food is needed for it to grow.
โโ
Reaching out to take the floating empty cup, Wang Dao couldn't help but be moved at a glance, completely without the twist and suspicion that Barbatos had when he handed over the sand of time to him.
"Emperor." Wang Daoyi wanted to say something of thanks, but suddenly he didn't know how to speak, he owed Zhongli too much, it seemed that if he owed a little more, it didn't matter.
"Ha, needless to say, aren't you all ready?" Zhongli smiled and said pointedly.
Hearing this, Wang Daoyi smiled, yes, isn't he ready.
With strong confidence, Wang Daoyi nodded solemnly at Zhongli, "Emperor, I will let those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods see that Liyue is still powerful. โ
He had already had the idea of shining in Liyue as a way to illuminate the planet, but now, with Zhongli's final gift, that thought grew even stronger.
[Let the last sad song of Ba Ji come as the curtain call of the family of the rock! ] ใ
Wang Daoyi's malice towards Baqiao in his heart became stronger and stronger.
In the open sea of Liyue,
In the deep sea, the curled beast slowly raised its head and looked around blankly, for some reason, he sensed a trace of unease.
The huge body curled up slowly unfolded, and on the heads of several giant beasts, several pairs of huge beasts showed resentful expressions in their eyes.
No matter what the uneasiness is, it all comes to Liyue anyway.
With a strong resentment, he swam slowly, and the target was the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
At this time, above the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, it has been completely martial law by the Millelith Army.
Hundreds of 'Abatuyi-1' missile vehicles are deployed here.
In addition to these missile vehicles, a large number of finalizers are also deployed in the positions behind the missile vehicles.
It's not just the island of Lonely Cloud Pavilion,
In the waters around Guyun Pavilion, there are dozens of warships patrolling non-stop, and on top of the battleships, they also carry a large number of new final planes.
In the simple military tent, a Millelith Army reported to Keqing, who looked slightly tired: "Lord Yuheng, General Panlie has returned. โ
The good-looking Xiu frowned slightly, and Ke Qing was a little dissatisfied: "Pan Lie? Didn't you let him go to recuperate? How did you get back? โ
Sensing Keqing's dissatisfaction, Millelith hurriedly explained, "General Panyeol, it looks like he's recovered. โ
"Recovered? Could it be that he took some forbidden medicine, fooling around, let him come. Keqing's expression changed slightly,
She was worried about what forbidden drugs Pan Lie took to speed up the healing of his injuries in order to return to the battlefield.
In that case, it's not a good thing.
Banned drugs often come at the cost of vitality and potential.
"Haha, Lord Yuheng, don't worry, I haven't been confused to that point."
A hearty voice sounded, a big hand lifted the tent, and a big man like a wall walked in.
"I met His Excellency Wang Daoyi in Wanmin Hall, and he helped me." Pan Lie looked at Ke Qing's skeptical gaze and opened his mouth to explain.
Hearing this, Ke Qing nodded slightly: "Wang Daoyi"
As for Wang Daoyi, she still believes that she will not use the forbidden medicine to deceive Panlie, the general of Liyue.
Of course, if the drug is forbidden, Panlie should also be able to detect it.
"Now that General Panlie's injuries have recovered, then let's return to the team, and the defense of the periphery will be handed over to you again, these days, that guy has been instigating sea beasts to attack, please take care of the general."
Hehe, this cup, such a long pit, no one thought of it.
Akimbo!
