Walking out of the cave, Zhongli re-sealed the entrance of the cave, although now that part of Ruotuo's wear and tear has been absorbed, it can keep part of Ruotuo's consciousness sane, but the main body is still very dangerous.

When the group returns to Liyue, Sasuke puts on the Fatui mask again, and Paimon hides in Sasuke's backpack again.

Zhongli handed over Kunjun, who was still unconscious, to the Millelith Army on patrol, and returned to the Hall of the Dead with his group.

If the newly emerged Ruota wants to live legally in Liyue, he needs a reasonable identity.

The new employees of the Afterlife Hall couldn't be more suitable.

The Hall of the Dead itself is not a good place in the eyes of most passers-by, after all, who likes to run to the funeral home if they have nothing to do, they are afraid of being contaminated with bad luck.

After customizing a refurbishment of the Afterlife Hall uniform for Ruotuo, Zhongli said to Ruoda:

"My current identity is just an ordinary Liyue person, so I'll call my current name Zhongli in the future."

"Okay, Morax."

“……”

"Hahaha, okay, Zhongli, but I still prefer to call you by your previous name."

Ruo Tuo laughed, and now being able to fight side by side with Zhongli obviously made him feel so happy that he even made a joke.

Zhongli also laughed, but still added:

"I planned my own fake death, so it's better not to call this name as much as possible."

"It's more convenient for you to think of a new name for your current self."

Rata touched his chin and began to ponder.

Wendy looked at this time and said:

"Bards are the best at choosing names, old man, Ruotuo Dragon King, do you want to listen to my opinion?"

Then, Wendy didn't wait for Zhongli to react, and Wendy continued to take care of herself:

"It's a big deal to take this kind of name, it's best to take a name that is related to the previous name, but it's the opposite, you see Ruotuo, if it doesn't make sense with the same sound as heat, then take an antonym cold."

"Tuotongtuo, giving people a dull feeling, then take the opposite sense, Feng, it's better to call Ruotuo's new name Leng Feng, right? What do you think? ”

It is difficult for Sasuke to understand the homonym of the pronunciation of the other world, but when he hears the term Leng Feng, what appears in front of Sasuke is a sharp weapon.

"Good advice, Barbatos, but the name sounds too sharp, and my body is still sealed, and this body only carries my previous knowledge, and I want to use this knowledge to make up for the damage I did to Liyue, so I'll call it Gnosis."

"Intelligence?"

Wendy quickly figured out the deep meaning contained in it, and glanced deeply at Ruotuo.

"Oh? It seems that you have a lot of ambition this time. ”

Ruota smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, although I didn't attend an old friend's funeral on this trip to Liyue, I did have a lot of unexpected gains, and it was worth it."

Wendy stretched, then walked to the door of the Afterlife.

"It looks like the old man still has a lot of things to do, and since your matter has been settled, I won't stay in Liyue anymore, after all, it may affect your plans, so I'll go back first."

Zhongli got up and came to the door, personally opening the door to the Hall of the Dead for Wendy.

"Thank you very much for your help this time, I owe you a favor, and when this is over, I will bring good wine and visit Mondstadt in person to thank you."

"Oh? Will we finally be able to drink together again? It's just the two of us...... But it's not bad, so I'll look forward to it first. ”

After saying goodbye to Paimon Sasuke, Wendy walked out of the room and left in style.

With Wendy's departure, the entire Hall of the Dead seems to be much cleaner.

Zhongli made tea for himself, Sasuke, and Rata.

"Now that Ruotuo's matter is settled, the next thing is Liyue's side."

Zhongli took a sip of tea.

"Uchiha Sasuke, because this is related to another contract of mine, I can't reveal too much, I just hope you can do me another favor."

"Because of this unexpected event of Ruotuo's seal, the previous plan was disrupted, so a certain degree of remedy is needed, I hope you can help maintain your previous identity, a person who was wronged because of the Immortal Ceremony, and thus was used by the Fatui."

"I need you and Childe to continue to advance his plan and hold the Immortal Ceremony."

Sasuke nodded.

If he didn't understand the purpose of Zhongli's fake death before, after getting a glimpse of Ruotuo Dragon King's memories and what he had seen and heard along the way, he had some guesses.

Or is it related to wear and tear.

Any life will wear out and deteriorate in the course of time, and this is true of the mighty Ruotuo Dragon King, and so is Zhongli.

So he's delegating power now.

Without the intervention of his and Ruotuo's seal, Liyue would have been in chaos as Childe had planned, with the Immortals holding Liyue Qixing accountable for their faults and the Fatui taking the opportunity to attack Liyue Qixing, Liyue's current power center.

If the Seven Stars of Liyue can handle this catastrophe, then they will be the right successors to Liyue, and as the Rock God, he will be able to completely relinquish his power and live in Liyue Harbor as a human body Zhongli.

However, his original plan was disrupted, and the immortals of Liyue had already guessed that the rock god had not passed away due to the fact that he still had Wendy, and most likely would not choose to make a fuss, so the pressure on Liyue Seven Stars would be reduced.

Therefore, Zhongli's plan to promote Childe is to increase the pressure on the Fatui to Qixing.

It's just that he can absorb and alleviate the wear and tear now, and Zhongli seems to be able to retire without being worn out? We will continue to lead Liyue to grow bigger and stronger, and create new glories.

Sasuke told Zhongli his thoughts, and the other party smiled and said:

"You can do ease the wear and tear, but you'll have your own business after all, and you won't be able to stay in Liyue forever."

"And one day, I was strolling in the harbor and heard a merchant compliment his subordinates, you have done your duty, hard work, now go and rest."

"At that time, I stopped for a long time in the crowd of people, and kept asking myself, have I done my duty?"

"I've been sheltering them before, but if one day I do leave, will they be able to keep going?"

"Liyue needs to usher in a new era, one that shifts from a god-rule to a human-like one."

"In fact, theoretically, Ruotuo Dragon King should also be a test for them, but this is still a little beyond the norm for them now."

Lingzhi said angrily at this time:

"Mo ...... Zhongli, do you mean that if there was no Uchiha Sasuke this time, I would still be part of your plan? ”

"You guy...... Well, I'd better go and build weapons for Sasuke's little brother. ”

After speaking, he also walked out of the Hall of the Dead.

————————————————————

PS: Here is the reason why Ruotuo is called Lingzhi, a slightly feminine name, and one point to be clear is that the background system of Genshin Impact is based on Gnostic mythology.

(The strange way of pronouncing rě is usually only found in Buddhist scriptures, such as "prajna rě".) This pronunciation of "若" in Middle Chinese is /ȵia/, and is generally used to transliterate jñā in Sanskrit, or ñā in Pali. "Prajna" (Middle Chinese/puɑnȵia/) is a translation of the Pali word पञ्ञा paññā, which corresponds to the Sanskrit word प्रज्ञा prajñā.

According to this Sanskrit-Chinese antiphonal pattern, "Jota" /ȵia dɑ/ should correspond to Sanskrit ज्ञात jñāta, or Pali ञातñāta. "Tuo" is a voiced sound in Middle Chinese, and is generally only used to translate the voiced da or dha in Sanskrit. However, if t is sandwiched between two vowels, it will be voiced by the vowels and become pronounced like d. Therefore, if ta is followed by a vowel, it will be translated as "to", such as "amitabha".

ज्ञात jñāta is an adjective that means "to be known". A related noun is ज्ञान jñāna, which means "knowledge". In Buddhist scriptures, it is generally transliterated as "Yanna", or transliterated as "wisdom".

ज्ञान jñāna has an ancient Greek cognate γνῶσις gnosis, and an English cognate : knowledge. All three mean "knowledge" and all come from a common ancestor, the root of Proto-Indo-European ǵneh₃-. Notice how similar jñā-, gno- and know are.

Gnosis is generally translated as "Gnostic" in the Gnostic context. In fact, it is from this that Gnosticism gets its name, which is why it is sometimes called "Gnosticism". The ultimate quest of the Gnostics is to obtain gnosis. Gnosis is not ordinary knowledge, but an ultimate knowledge of the nature of things that transcends material nature. The Gnostics believed that salvation can only be achieved through the acquisition of gnosis, and that gnosis is salvation itself. ）

So here Ruota changed his name to Reichi after experiencing Sasuke's ability to alleviate wear and tear, and he was very ambitious.
