Woo Woo Woo ~ Xiao turned into blue light and shuttled across the battlefield, clearing the monsters condensed in space.

Behind everyone, Yelan raised her right hand silently, and strands of silk threads emerged from her wrists and floated behind her.

When a monster appears behind everyone, these silk threads will turn into a thread of death, strangling the monster.

Yanfei held the Taiwei Instrument Plate, the Codex in her hand appeared, and the blazing fireballs were thrown out by her, which could be regarded as long-range support for Xiao.

And Ying and Kuki endured and protected Arataki Itto, and followed closely behind Wang Daoyi.

At the front of the line,

Another punch broke through the space barrier and strangled the monsters that emerged.

Wang Dao swept his thoughts, sensed the situation behind him, and with a movement of his mind, the elemental power surged, replenishing the shield for everyone.

"Hold on for a while, it's coming soon."

Like a mud truck with the brakes on the end, Wang Daoyi rammed under the heavy encirclement of space.

Without any skill,

Wang Daoyi led everyone closer and closer to the last barrier, where it was the exit.

Strata Chasm: Surface.

Zhongli stood on top of the peak, his eyes overlooking the abyss, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen something that made him happy.

"This kind of rough method is a bit like me."

Hundreds of folded spaces could not block Zhongli's sight, and he saw Wang Daoyi and the others very clearly,

I also saw Wang Daoyi's solution to the difficulty.

And the reason why Zhongli laughs,

That's because Wang Daoyi's way of dealing with space is similar to that of Morax in the past.

Once, during the Daedric Wars.

When Morax encounters difficulties, the most common method is to solve them with violence.

Also, don't look at Morax as having the title of a martial god,

But in reality, Morax's favorite thing is to destroy everything with an overwhelming rock spear.

And not with what martial arts.

This point, the demon gods of His Excellency Guyun have a deep understanding.

And now, Wang Daoyi's move of forcibly breaking the game with his strong strength and elemental power reminded Zhongli of his former self.

That's why he chuckled.

Seeing the group getting closer and closer to the exit of the space, Zhongli shook his head slightly, it seemed that he had run for nothing.

Then Zhongli turned and left, leaving a fluttering hem of his clothes.

The bottom of the Chasm,

A punch smashed through the last space blockade, and a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Dao's mouth,

"Everyone, don't resist, let's go."

The golden light enveloped everyone, turned into a golden light, and flew out of the bottom of the chasm.

Leave behind the resentful roar of the monster behind him.

Strata Chasm: Surface

On the flat ground, the golden light dissipated, revealing everyone.

Although we have just experienced a 'tough' battle, everyone is in okay shape.

Especially Ichito, after coming out from below, he seems to have regained some of his spirits and can already talk to Kuki Shinobu.

Wang Daoyi raised his head and looked at the mountain peaks on the other side, sensing a wisp of familiar aura.

[Sure enough, Zhongli also came, and left only when he saw me make a move. 】

[However, if you leave, you will leave, why do you want to leave a wisp of breath here, tell me that he has been here? ] 】

Wang Daoyi thought helplessly.

For an existence like Zhongli, it is impossible to inadvertently leak his breath, and to leave his breath must be to tell Wang Daoyi that he has been here.

"Forget it, when you're free, let's go find Zhongli."

Writing down this matter, Wang Daoyi looked at everyone, everyone was very energetic, only Ying and Xiao looked at the peak over there like Wang Dao.

Apparently, the two men also sensed something.

"Over there, there seems to be something, but I can't see it." Ying said strangely.

Paimon looked confused: "What? Ying, what are you talking about? ”

"It's nothing, let's go, let's go see everyone." Ying shook her head, not thinking much about it.

As for Xiao, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal,

He also sensed the breath left by Zhongli.

"Emperor." Xiao muttered.

Wang Daoyi walked to Xiao's side: "It seems that I have come superfluously, if I don't come, you won't have an accident." ”

Xiao shook his head slightly, and naturally saw that Wang Daoyi was joking.

"Thank you this time, if it weren't for the cooperation between me and Yelan, I'm afraid this time would be even more dangerous."

Wang Daoyi shook his head: "No thanks, I also have my purpose, but everyone is fine." ”

After communicating with Xiao for a while,

On the other side, Ying walked over: "Daoyi, Xiao, we are going to Wanmin Hall for dinner, are you coming over?" ”

Xiao shook his head: "My karma has not been removed, and it is not appropriate to be close to the bustling market, so I will not go." ”

Wang Dao thought about it for a while, and shook his head slightly: "I still have something to deal with, so I won't go back with you, help me tell Xiangling, I'll go home for dinner in the evening." ”

Thinking of the breath left by Zhongli just now, Wang Daoyi felt that it was better to go to Zhongli first.

However, since I haven't been home for dinner for a few days, I still asked Ying to help and brought a message.

"Okay, then I'll invite you alone next time." Ying first nodded at Xiao, and then looked at Wang Daoyi, "I always feel that Daoyi has something to deal with." ”

"Ha, there's no way, people, there will always be things to do when you live." Spreading his hand helplessly, Wang Daoyi shook his head, "Don't talk about it, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, he turned into golden light and disappeared into the sky.

"In that case, I'll go first, and if something happens in the future, call me by my name."

If you have something, call me by my first name.

This is a contract between Xiao and Ying, and within Liyue, Ying can use this to summon Xiao.

Of course, the premise is that nothing stands in the way of Ying's call.

Ying nodded, watching Xiao also turn into blue light and disappear into the sky.

Behind her, Yelan approached,

"Both of them are gone?"

Ying nodded: "Xiao can't stay in a crowded place for a long time, Dao Yi said that he has something." ”

"Okay, then let's go to dinner, I'm in for a treat today." Yelan showed a hearty smile.

It seems that after an adventure, Yelan let down her guard against everyone.

Well, if you don't look at Yelan gesturing to the secret agent of the General Affairs Department in the hidden corner in the distance.

The stratum has long been infiltrated by the secret agents of the General Affairs Department.

And Yelan is the head of these secret agents.

After seeing Yelan's gesture, the agents of the General Affairs Department quietly retreated, some of them continued to be vigilant and investigated, and some of them rushed to Liyue Harbor, not knowing what instructions they had received from Yelan.

Yelan and Ying walked back to Kuki Shinobu and the others, and informed everyone that Wang Daoyi and Xiao would not participate in the 'banquet'.

Yanfei and Kuki Shinobu don't have any opinions, but Ichito is very angry.

As soon as Wang Dao appeared, he was in a semi-coma, and when he woke up, Wang Daoyi left.

Isn't this specifically here to see his jokes?

The more Yidou thought about it, the more angry he became, if Wang Daoyi was in front of him at this time, he would have to compete with Wang Daoyi.

As for whether you can fight or not, it is not considered at all.

The group walked out noisily to eat Tiger Rock.

Well, it's mostly Ichito and Paimon who are arguing.

On the other side, Xiao used the air freedom method and returned all the way back to the Wangshu Inn.

At the top of the Wangshu Inn, the increasingly large wind eagle saw Xiao returning,

Jumping up and down to Xiao's side, he stretched out his head and rubbed Xiao's face,

Xiao stretched out his hand and touched Wind Eagle's head, then looked at the many wounds on Wind Eagle's body, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

"These days, you've worked hard."

After Xiao left Dihua Continent and went to the Chasm, the monsters and evil spirits here were all dealt with by the Wind Eagle, and it would only get injured if it didn't have Xiao's strength.

"Chirp~"

Wind Eagle let out a few crisp chirps, signaling that Xiao was okay.

Xiao didn't speak, but just touched Wind Eagle's head again, and his cold face softened slightly.

——

On the other side, chasing the breath left by Zhongli, Wang Dao came all the way to the Crimson Cloud Slope,

Zhongli didn't wait for him at the tea stall or restaurant, but waited 'honestly' in the Hall of the Dead.

After saying hello to the Lack of Hanging Teeth Zhenjun, Wang Daoyi entered the Hall of the Dead and came to Zhongli's small courtyard.

"Emperor."

"You're here, sit down."

Walking up to Zhongli and sitting down, Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli quietly.

This time, it was Zhongli who left a breath to ask him to come over, not because he had a problem to ask for advice, so Wang Daoyi didn't speak immediately, but waited for Zhongli to speak first.

And Zhongli was not in a hurry, he brewed tea slowly and leisurely, and then poured a cup for Wang Daoyi.

"Xiao that kid, I've been busy with the Chasm lately, but I haven't brought me water for a long time, and the taste may be a little worse, you can taste it."

Once Zhongli's tea, the best tea of Qiaoyingzhuang of tea, the water is the spring water that Xiao took from the depths of the Yunlai Sea, and every time Wang Daoyi came over, he had to rub a cup.

However, recently, Xiao Du was under the Great Abyss, and Zhongli naturally had no spring water from the depths of the Yunlai Sea.

"It's okay, the worst tea you have here is better than the tea in the desert." Wang Dao didn't mind at all, reached out to take the tea poured by Zhongli, and took a sip gently, revealing a hint of comfort.

Wang Daoyi didn't say politely, compared to those fragmentary tea leaves in the desert, Zhongli didn't know how much better the tea here was.

"Ha, then you can take some with you when you turn around."

Zhong Li smiled slightly, and then got to the point: "When I saw you today, there seems to be a slight change. ”

"Huh? Why did the emperor say this? Wang Dao remained silent and asked rhetorically.

Zhongli shook his head slightly: "What happened before, if it was before, you would definitely break it with skill, but today, you chose to break the situation violently, a person's behavior is a projection of the heart, and if the behavior changes, it represents a change in the heart." ”

"Hadi-kun is wise." Wang Daoyi didn't know what to say, Zhongli knew him too well, as long as he had the slightest change, Zhongli could feel it.

After all, once Wang Daoyi's soul was infected into the shape of Zhongli.

"Something happened, and I decided to change my behavior in something." After organizing the language, Wang Daoyi told Zhongli the reason for his transformation.

Zhongli's face was calm, holding the teacup in his hand, a hint of thought appeared in his eyes, and then nodded at Wang Dao: "It seems that you can't tell me a secret, okay, let's skip this topic." ”

Wang Daoyi, who used to know everything about himself, now has his own secrets, Zhongli has no loss in his heart, but is a little happy for Wang Daoyi.

This shows that Wang Daoyi has really begun to become independent, and he is no longer the young son who can only rely on him.

Wang Daoyi grew up.

As an immortal species, the concept of mortal growth does not work in Zhongli, only the growth in thinking and action can be regarded as growing up in Zhongli.

"Emperor, I'm sorry."

"There is no need to apologize, we are equal now, you are not my dependent, I am not your lord, you have the right to hide secrets."

Zhongli shook his head and did not accept Wang Daoyi's apology, in his opinion, Wang Daoyi did not need to apologize at all.

"Let's not talk about this, change the subject, since you have won the favor of [Time], then, do you remember the old dean?"

Zhong asked as he left the mouth.

Wang Dao nodded a little, of course he remembered.

The old dean, whose real name is unknown, is the dean of the same academy, the patron of time, a human limit that lights up the six life stars,

Wang Daoyi got the knowledge from him to forcibly light up the natal star.

It can be said that Wang Daoyi has today's strength, and the old dean has contributed a lot.

Seeing that Wang Dao nodded, Zhongli put down the teacup: "He's dying, if you have [time], you can go and meet him." ”

The old dean is dying?

A hint of shock flashed in Wang Dao's eyes,

That time-honored person who has survived the Demon God War is about to reach the limit of his life?

"How so?!"

Zhongli shook his head slowly: "There's nothing surprising, people will always die, he escaped a thousand years of time with the help of a wisp of [time], it was already a fluke, and now that the time favor on his body is about to wear off, it is naturally time to usher in death." ”

Listening to Zhongli's words, Wang Daoyi's heart was a little heavy, death is always a level that life can't avoid.

Although he is now an immortal, when he takes the last step, his lifespan is theoretically unlimited.

Can. Can your own will sustain those endless years?

Wang Daoyi questioned himself in his heart, but the answer was unknown.

He looked up at the god of the rocks in front of him.

Will this one of the most powerful demon gods in the world, with a will as strong as a rock, not be able to resist the erosion of endless years?

"Hehe, don't think about it, focus on the present, that's what you need to do."

As soon as Zhongli saw Wang Daoyi's heavy face, he knew that this little guy was thinking, and chuckled.

Zhongli's chuckle surprised Wang Daoyi, who drilled the tip of the bull's horns,

Yes, I'm still so young, and I don't think I even spent my childhood in terms of the length of a god's life, so why worry about it.

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi smiled at Zhongli: "I was pointed out by you again, I owe you more and more." ”

"You don't have to be so polite." Zhongli was still calm.

The two chatted for a while, mostly interesting stories about some parents and the city.

The sun was setting, and Wang Dao had always said goodbye to Zhongli.

Back to Wanmin Hall,

only to find that Ying, Paimon, Kuki Shinobu and Ichito are all in the store.

"Ah, Daoyi, you're back."

Paimon's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw Wang Daoyi walking outside the door.

"Well, of course, didn't I let Ying talk, I'm going home for dinner in the evening."

Wang Daoyi smiled at Paimon, and then looked at everyone, "Good evening, everyone." ”

"Okay~" Everyone responded, didn't pay much attention to Wang Daoyi, and gathered around, as if they were playing some card game.

Wang Dao glanced at it and it seemed to be. Seven Holy Callings.

He'd heard of this card before, it was in the tavern in Sumeru, but he didn't expect it to be in Liyue now.

However, Wang Daoyi was not interested in card games, looked at Ichito's excited appearance, and did not continue to watch, but turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xiangling is busy, and the pot is becoming. Steal.

"I'm back." Wang Daoyi shouted at Xiangling,

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiangling turned around and looked at Wang Daoyi happily: "Come back, go wash your hands, you can eat soon." ”

Wang Dao nodded, went to the backyard, and freshened up.

By the time he came out again, the game was over and the table was full of food.

Go to the table and sit down,

Paimon and Ichito were arguing, as if they were talking about the form of the game just now.

Ying and Kuki Shinobu were chatting, and it seemed that they were talking about some Inazuma things,

And Xiangling looked at Wang Dao gently, completely ignoring Guoba's expression of wanting to eat.

The host and guest rejoiced, and the feast dispersed.

The next day,

patted Xiangling, who was still blindfolded, and Wang Dao went out of bed together.

Enjoying the early morning sun and fresh air,

The dullness of the heart dissipated a little,

He's going to see the old dean,

I thank him for helping me and want to see the legacy of his lord.

Familiar with the road to the Tongwen Academy,

Following the route he had come to last time, Wang Daoyi came to the gate of the old dean's courtyard,

Stretched out his hand and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Soon, an old voice came from inside, it was the old dean himself

Pushed the door and walked in,

The old dean was still the same as he was at the beginning, lying on the recliner, swaying gently,

On the outside, he still looks old,

Maybe this is his last appearance, even time can't make him older.

"Is that you? Why do you have time to come and see me, an old man? ”

The old dean raised his heavy eyelids and glanced at it, and found that it was Wang Daoyi, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Coming back from Sumeru, I heard. You are not feeling well, come and see you. ”

Wang Daoyi said.

"Not feeling well? Hahaha, you kid really can talk. The old dean let out a few laughs, and then regained his composure, "It was the emperor who asked you to come, you are not feeling well. It's up to you kid to say it. ”

Saying that a person is unwell at the limit of the world is indeed a bit like a joke.

Don't look at the old dean as if he was dying, he was indeed dying, and if he broke out, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many beings in Liyue Harbor who could stop him.

He's just going to die, but he's still fine.

"Well, the Emperor told me that you are coming to an end."

Walking to the old dean's side, with a wave of his hand, a rock platform rose, and Wang Daoyi sat down and looked at each other quietly.

"Yes, people will eventually die, time will not hold anyone, relying on His grace, I have lived for so long, I am very satisfied."

The old dean looked at Wang Daoyi and said softly,

In words, there is no regret,

In other words, his regret, even if he continues to live, will not come to fruition.
