The sun shines into the room through the gaps between the rock pillars.

Zhongli also woke up, but when he saw Zou Rui lying on top of him, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his brows were furrowed.

Zhongli kicked.... No, Zhongli invited Zou Rui down in a friendly way.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Zou Rui touched his ass and said with a painful expression.

"The rooster crows, ready to go out and do something, we are safe during this time." Zhongli said to Zou Rui, who was still wailing, while sorting out his clothes.

Zou Rui was also excited when he heard it, and he got up and immediately got dressed, but he just wore it, and he didn't mean to tidy it up at all, Zhongli looked at it and fell into deep thought.

"Let's go, hurry up, just these six hours, what are you going to do, hurry up, after the time is not necessarily safe, although you are here." Zou Rui laughed awkwardly and opened the door that appeared after the rock pillar disappeared.

The two walked out.

In the streets, the shouts and shouts of the vendors are incessant, and there is nothing abnormal here, everyone is... Normal... Yes?

Zhongli was counting as he walked, but the more he counted, the paler he became.

Zou Rui also noticed that something was wrong with Zhongli, so he spoke

"Mr. Zhongli, what's wrong?"

After Zou Rui finished speaking, Zhongli's face was almost bloodless, pale and terrifying.

"No... Wrong... It shouldn't be like this, there should be fifty thousand.... It shouldn't be...," Zhongli muttered.

"What... What's wrong? Seeing Zhongli like this, Zou Rui guessed that something big must have happened, and hurriedly asked.

"Except for the Millelith Army and the Seven Stars of the Jade Pavilion, there are less than two hundred living people..."Zhongli showed pain on his face, he could sense that although he couldn't stop it, he could still do it by simply understanding how many living people there were.

"What? How so? Why do so many people die in one night? Zou Rui spoke.

What is the probability of nearly 50,000 people dying in one night, he still understands.

"In the entire Liyue Harbor, excluding the Millelith Army and the Liyue Seven Stars, there are three million "people", but there are less than two hundred living people, no, no, in the past three years, I have obviously left divine power for every living person left, they shouldn't be aware of it, something must have happened last night, right..." Zhongli was obviously a little broken, but Zou Rui himself didn't know how to comfort him, after all, it was his followers who died, his people, he was a demon god who loved people, how could he not be heartbroken?

Zhongli didn't cry, just looked at Zou Rui with blank eyes, and said, "Let's go, go to the Jade Pavilion and find the Seven Stars They are still alive." As soon as Zhongli said that, he mentioned Zou Rui and turned into a streamer of light and rushed towards the Jade Pavilion in the sky, while Liyue Harbor below, seeing Zhongli and the others, immediately rioted...

In less than five breaths, the two walked to the Jade Pavilion, and when they arrived at the Jade Pavilion, the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere was much less, but he heard a girl crying.

Zhongli didn't speak, just turned into a god costume and walked inside, every step was extremely heavy, and when he walked into the Jade Pavilion, he saw Qixing sitting in the council hall, and everyone's face was heavy.

And Ganyu and Shenhe, who were huddled in the corner, had red and swollen eyes, obviously crying for a long time, and the [Tianquan Star] condensing dark circles were extremely serious, obviously they hadn't slept for many days, and when they saw that the person who came was the emperor, they immediately saluted Zhongli respectfully.

Zhongli waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

"Let's talk about it, what's going on these days? Why did so many people suddenly die? The [Celestial Pivot Star] on one side spoke.

Zhongli gave them a special device that could detect the number of people who were still alive in addition to the entire Liyue Harbor, which had suddenly dropped from over 130,000 five days ago to 50,000 yesterday. In these five days, 80,000 people, including the Millelith Army, were killed at once.

【Yu Hengxing】Keqing spoke:

"They seem to be very active these days, and even when the rooster crows until twelve o'clock, they dare to show greed to the living, which they would never dare to do before."

The other six nodded, and Zhongli had been closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was talking to someone.

Qixing launched a heated discussion about this, [Tianquan Xing] said: "A week later, it is the invitation to the immortal ceremony, although the emperor is already here, but the people they imitate are crazy to ask for the immortal ceremony, we are powerless to resist, we can only agree, and in the past few days I have found a new rule, if they make a request to the living, if you do not have a good reason to refuse, you can only complete the request they have given, if you do not do it, they will find that we are different from them, because they have no brains, they will not know what calculation is, So they will only make requests according to the character and memory of the original owner, but there will be some differences, so this time, we can only agree.... ”

So we can only agree that after saying this, everyone's faces sank, and then they looked at Zhongli, who didn't speak again after sitting down on the side, meaning that they were asking Zhongli's opinion.

After a moment, Zhongli slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion.

"This time to invite the immortal ceremony, you must hold it, if it is not held, they will be able to perceive your position." Zhongli looked sad, as if he had made a decision, and then said to Zou Rui on the side:

"Zou Rui, although we have only met for two days, can we draw up a contract? Count a little selfishness below. Zhongli finished speaking, with a completely pleading look and tone.

How could the Seven Stars have ever seen their own emperor speak to people in such a low voice, at that time, in the face of the siege of the three demon gods, Zhongli was also extremely hard, but now he wants to ask for an ordinary person in such a low voice?

"Emperor..."[Tianquan Xing] Ningguang spoke, but before she could say anything, Zhongli raised her hand to shut up, and she had to stop.

"What? Make a pact with me? Before Zou Rui could react, Zhongli spoke again

"I hope that after I die, you can continue to lead the Seven Stars and help fight them, I beg you." After Zhongli finished speaking, he walked up to Zou Rui and said in a pleading tone

"I know it's selfish, but I can't let go of the destruction of Liyue, which I spent three thousand years so hard to build, and I know that you don't come from this world, and you must have a way to save it."

After Zhong left the mouth, he knelt down and begged you, you promised not to do it, how dare Zou Rui? Immediately hugged Zhongli and said

"Isn't it the traveler who will come later? She is also someone outside the stars, and she also has a way to save the world. ”

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly

"Traveler, is that the yellow-haired girl? Hehe, blame me, I didn't make it clear to you at the time, just now I contacted the rest of the surviving four gods, Mondstadt has lost Barbatos's protection, and the city has been slaughtered, and only the Knights of Favonius, Dvalin, and Andrius have led some people to escape. Then you might as well guess, who slaughtered the city? Zhongli looked at Zou Rui with a slightly desperate expression.

"Could it be..."
