"I didn't expect Zhongli to go to the Northland Bank, didn't he know what the Fatui were doing in Liyue?"

Ying and Paimon, who came out of the Hall of the Dead, walked towards the Northland Bank.

......

"As promised, I've come to take your God's Heart, Morax."

"The heart of God?" Ying seemed to have heard something terrible.

"The covenant is made, and as you ask, give you what you promised."

"What? Zhongli is the Emperor of the Rock King??! Paimon called it impossible.

"yes, you cheated me so badly." Childe said on the side.

"Hmm, it seems that I can't accept this fact, how can this social waste who is a big spender and never brings Mora to buy things, how can it be the Emperor of the Rock King."

"Paimon." Ying reminded, although you think so, don't say it.

"But what kind of agreed value can be compared to the heart of God?" Paimon asked curiously.

Zhongli touched his chin and replied, "In terms of general reason, no, but as the god of contracts, I would not have signed this contract if it wasn't for my favor." ”

"Why is that?"

"One rainy day, I was strolling in the harbor when I heard a merchant compliment his subordinates and say, 'You have done your duty, go and rest'. Is it done? ”

"Zhongli...," Paimon whispered.

"Three hundred years ago, with the arrival of tassels, Liyue changed from its current to the current and sprung up like mushrooms after a rain on its original foundation, which made me gradually strengthen this idea."

"Huh? Wasn't the Immortal Monarch originally from Liyue? ”

"Of course not, but now that she's joined Liyue, it doesn't matter who she was before."

"This time, I signed this contract with the Winter Solstice Queen, a contract to end all contracts, and it seems to be a good one, although the journey is a bit bumpy, but with the people of Liyue sitting down to be able to suppress a demon god, it is more than I expected."

"Then, the tassel solved the problem once and for all, and I knew that it was time for me to retire."

"So your retirement is Xianjun's place to take over Ling's position?" Paimon asked.

"Why did you have this idea?" Zhongli gave her a strange look and said, "There's no way Tassel can take over Liyue, and it's hard for her to maintain it, let alone Liyue." ”

"Well, you have a point."

"It's just that there is a demon god in the end that surprised me, but the moment the tassel shot, it was already a foregone conclusion. I don't know what Tassel, the Immortals, and the Seven Stars of Liyue said, but their motivation and motivation can't be hidden. ”

Zhongli thought of the question that Liyue Seven Stars and the Immortals knew that they were not dead, but their actions were still beyond his expectations, and even at the last moment, they did not ask for help on their own, but decided to fight the crisis on their own.

If Tassel hadn't chosen to take the initiative in the end, Liyue would have suffered another major injury, but the end result was good.

"Now that the Seven Stars of Liyue are in power, they seem to have anticipated this crisis for a long time, and their tactics are a little strange to me, as well as what the Immortals think of Liyue. Forget it, I don't think so much, it's good that the goal is achieved, and the general public doesn't know that I'm still alive, so it doesn't affect the plan. ”

"Well, my head is a little insufficient." Paimon scratched his head, feeling so profound.

"Now that the matter has been reached, Childe, you and I will go with me to the Winter Palace to meet the Queen." The lady said, holding the heart of God that had already arrived.

"Well, I want to go back later, I don't want to stay in the same boat with you." Childe said dissatisfied.

"Heh, please feel free." The lady finished and left.

"Well, is there anything else you'd like to ask at the end?" Zhongli and the other sons and ladies all left and spoke.

"Isn't that why Liyue Immortals and Gods don't like to bring money?" Paimon's question made the corners of Zhongli's eyes twitch.

"It's not."

"Oh~" Paimon expressed disbelief.

"Anything else you'd like to ask?" Zhongli felt a little embarrassed by this question.

"Does that God's Heart really represent all the power of the gods?" Ying thought of the tassel that day.

"Oh? You have also discovered that the heart of the gods is not the power of the seven gods, so losing it does not have any effect on the seven gods at all, on the contrary, this is still a hot potato, just to hand it over. ”

"Huh? Is the heart of God a hot potato? What's going on? ”

"I can't tell you that, you just need to know that the heart of God is not what you think." Zhongli shook his head, indicating that the topic could not continue.

"Does that god really need the faith of the people to exert great power?" Paimon remembered Mondstadt's heart-wrenching Wendy.

"Of course not, although the people's faith can increase the power of the gods, but this power is also limited, but the improvement of power still has a great effect, just like a demon god, his divine power is 1, and the strength of faith will become 1.001, although it is not much, but it will still be stronger than the former."

"This is equivalent to the original strength of the demon god, and then adding the strength of the people's faith, it is equivalent to a multiplication area, the more believers, the more power provided to the gods."

"Oh, I see, but if the believer who used to believe in this god no longer believes, will his strength decline?" Paimon continued to ask.

"This will be, but there is a threshold, that is, his own strength will not change, how strong he was before, and he will still be so strong now, this will not change, and the heart of God is equivalent to a large amount of improvement of your divine power, but if you use it, you will pay a corresponding price."

"I see, I'll just say, Wendy, that guy, I'm so angry, I've been worried about him for so long."

Paimon stomped his feet in exasperation and told Zhongli about it.

"Oh? The drunkard poet? Interesting, I didn't expect him to make such a decision. It's really in line with his style. ”

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"So Zhongli, what kind of contract did you make with the God of Ice? Tell me? I'm curious. ”

"This is not good, and it is part of the contract that you can't say it."

"Huh? Stingy. Paimon looked down in disappointment.

"Looks like you've got Liyue Skynet from Tassel, right? How does it feel? Zhongli saw that the two of them had nothing to say, but instead found a topic.

"Skynet is really powerful, and it's very convenient!" This Skynet is also too convenient, and you can also order food and deliver it directly to your place of residence.

"That's right, Skynet is an integral part of Liyue's transformation. It allows Liyue to enter the information age, where messages can be received thousands of miles away from Liyue, and there is no need to send messages as slowly as before. ”

"Zhongli, did you build that golden tree?" Paimon asked.

"Of course not, I'm just using this golden tree, I don't have the ability to do that."

"Who's that?"

"Didn't you already guess that?"

"Wow, it's her, that's amazing." Paimon suddenly thought of someone.

......

"Today is the ceremony of sending immortals, we can go over and take a look, although the protagonist is fake, but since it has taken so much time and energy, it feels like a loss not to take a look."

For the death of the Rock King Emperor, the reason given by Qixing was that he failed to cross the catastrophe and was killed by thunder.

......

"It seems that there are seven stars other than the immortals, and ordinary Liyue people don't know that the emperor is faked his death."

Paimon watched as Millelith read the words of the Seven Stars and conspired loudly at the Traveler, but the crowd around him didn't seem to hear him.
