In the sky above Liyue, there is a heavenly capital that is inaccessible to ordinary people, it floats in the sky all year round, it is resplendent and resplendent like a human creation, but it is not the handiwork of immortals, but a symbol of power and status.

The "Jade Pavilion", the character with the Heavenly Mansion, is one of the "Seven Stars", the Heavenly Power Star, Ningguang.

"Lord Ningguang, the latest news is here."

In the deepest part of the glorious pavilion, outside a room full of flowers, birds, strange stones, and cypress cultural relics, a female secretary dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes, who was shrewd and capable at a glance, was reporting to the people inside through a curtain.

"Say."

Short and powerful, a crisp female voice came out of it, a simple word, showing majesty at the same time, but also showing an elegant and charming temperament.

"During the Stormterror Incident in Mondstadt some time ago, the Stormterror Traveler who single-handedly repelled the Stormterror entered the main gate of Liyue Harbor at noon today, and is now exchanging information with the Catelyn of the Adventurers' Guild."

"Honorary Knight of Mondstadt? I see, step down. ”

The figure of the woman in the tulle curtain did not look satisfied, but judging from the movements alone, she was thinking about it.

(To be able to repel the family of the former wind god, whether the information is true or not, this person should not be underestimated.) ）”

Through the gauze curtain, the appearance of the national color Tianxiang was revealed, and it was a figure that was quite extraordinary just from the appearance.

The snow-white filaments fluttered in the wind, and two willow leaf curved eyebrows hung down on the red forehead, and under the skin like congealed skin, Qianqianyu fingers were holding a pipe that seemed to be worth a lot, obviously, Ningguang fell into deep thought.

Today is the "Invitation Immortal Ceremony", which is organized by the Seven Stars in turn or selected people every year, and this year it is her turn.

Originally, being able to listen to the oracle of the Rock King up close was a good thing for both doing business and adjusting the policy.

But right now, the most militarily powerful of the Seven Kingdoms, the Eastern Kingdom, has been making small moves lately, with countless espionage activities brewing in the "Northland Bank" rooted in Liyue, and there are even rumors that the legendary "Executive" has arrived here.

All kinds of signs have made Ningguang, who has been doing business for many years, have a bad feeling.

This "sixth sense" has saved her countless times in her years in business, and she herself trusts this instinct.

"Eventful~"

"But as long as the emperor makes a move, everything will be fine."

Ningguang put down his pipe, and a hint of relief appeared between his phoenix brows, after all, what Liyue people wouldn't trust their gods?

For 3,700 years, there has not been a single absence, not a single misjudgment, and the entire political policy of Liyue has been shaped by the Emperor's teachings and the "Invitation to the Immortals" time and time again, and people's confidence in the Emperor has gradually accumulated in this way.

After tidying up her clothes, she was going down to prepare the congratulations of the ceremony in advance.

In the past, no crisis could stump them, and it is no different today.

The time is getting to the end of the day (13:00-14:59), and the sun is at its most intense time of day.

The mountain road from Eat Tiger Rock to Yujingtai was already flooded, and the dense crowd of foreign tourists and business people from all over Liyue rushed to hear the first-hand news, and some simply wanted to see the style of the Emperor of the Rocks.

"Oops, let go, let go!"

In the crowd, a white elf and blonde traveler made their way through the crowd and finally came to the site of the altar.

"Wow, there are so many people in Liyue! You're right, Ying! ”

It was the spirit floating in the air who spoke, the cute shape of the crown, and the cloak of the starry sky projection, which attracted people's attention at first glance.

"Paimon, don't run around, be careful of being caught by others."

The traveler named "Ying" has a very outstanding appearance, snow-white skin seems to be able to pinch water, pure and lovely appearance, mature and sophisticated temperament, such a combination makes people can't imagine her age.

"Huh?"

Hearing his companion's admonition, Paimon clasped his hands in front of his chest, apparently startled, and responded in a cute voice.

"Then I'll shout loudly, you'll come to my rescue, right? Right, right? ”

"Yes, yes, as long as Paimon hasn't been made into a big meal when I go."

Ying smiled dotingly, and the two of them slowly moved forward side by side.

The altar is surrounded by small stoves, and it is customary for both Liyue people and foreigners to pray for blessings at this festival.

"Hopefully find my brother soon."

"I hope to be able to eat good food every day, and then be a good guide!"

With their hands folded, Ying and Paimon, a young girl with a large and a small one, make a wish in their hearts.

After making their wishes, they finally made their way to the front of the altar, where they could see the center of the altar almost at a glance.

Surrounded by smoke and incense, precious medicinal gems and minerals are placed around the altar, which have been the products of Liyue since the beginning of the year, to represent the good weather of the year, and in the center of the altar, a huge Jiuding is honorably placed in the center.

The misty immortal qi floats from it to the sky, representing the communication between "man" and "god".

"The auspicious time has come!"

Ningguang and the rest of the staff were dressed up to attend, ready for the arrival of the Rock King.

Ningguang pinched the magic trick in her hand, and several precious ores spun out of thin air in her hands, as the owner of the Rock Attribute God's Vision, this little trick was naturally not a problem.

With a wave of the hand, the gem was inlaid on the surrounding ground in the form of a furnace offering, symbolizing that the gift was "delivered" to the sky with the smoke.

After the ceremony, countless people present looked up and looked at the sky with expectant eyes.

Gradually, black clouds covered the entire Yujing Terrace, and a heavy sense of oppression came from the whirlpool in the middle.

At first, people didn't feel that something was wrong, because it was like this in previous years, but then what happened left them dumbfounded.

Thunder and lightning flashed, and there was an explosion-like fire and earth-shattering sound in the sky, which was not like the divine power of the Rock King Emperor, but more like two gods facing each other in the sky.

"Behold, the heavens are cracked, and they are cracked!"

A huge crack appeared in everyone's eyes, it was not the boundary of the clouds, but the spatial crack that spread to the end of the entire sky!

"Ahh

As the saying goes, "When the gods fight, mortals suffer." The feeling of oppression coming down from the clouds in the sky made everyone present dare not act rashly, and could only unconsciously raise one or two exclamations from their mouths.

"Emperor, I won't ............"

A second seemed to be stretched for a long time, and everyone present realized that something was wrong, this was supposed to be the time when the Rock King Emperor appeared, but the current situation was not like a normal process.

But the idea that "the emperor will have an accident" is even more unlikely to arise in their hearts, because the history and experience passed down from their ancestors tell them that "the emperor is an invincible martial god", even if the sky falls, the emperor will be fine.

The crack in the air grew larger, and then, everyone saw something, a dark shadow falling from the sky.

"Ah, did the Emperor defeat the invading enemy?"

People were eagerly awaiting, wanting to get closer to see which thing was not long-sighted, and rushed to the occasion to offend the emperor.

"Pound!"

There was a dead silence in the audience, because it was not some enemy who had fallen to the ground, but ............

A dark golden dragon corpse.

An invincible warrior god in the world, the oldest god of rocks, and the emperor of the rocks who ruled Liyue for 3,700 years.

He's dead?

People are reluctant to accept the absurd reality in front of them, wondering only if they have seen something wrong or have a nightmare that they don't want to wake up from.

In the audience, only Tianquan Xing Ningguang's thinking was the most calm, and he was the first to break free from this dead silence.

With a wave of her jade hand, she used the elemental power in her body, and the powerful voice was transmitted to the ears of the Millelith Army in the entire venue.

"Quick! The emperor is assassinated, and the whole audience is blocked! ”
