Zhongli's figure flashed several times and stopped in a house in Liyue Harbor.

Pushing open the door, Zhongli entered.

There was a set of fine tea sets on the shelf in the room. Zhongli took out a teacup and placed it on the table.

There is no need to clean it. Zhongli just strokes it gently and the dust on the teacup is gently removed.

After pouring himself a cup of tea given by Chao Ke, Zhongli silently activated his magic power.

A ray of light flew out from the secret box hidden in the house and landed in Zhongli's hand.

The slowly rotating object is the token that the Demon God of Dust gave to Zhongli after his death - the [Chain of Dust].

[Chains of the World] turned slightly, and Zhongli's gaze seemed to have crossed thousands of years.

In the past, on the field where glazed lilies bloomed, he first met the girl with big sleeves.

“Here,” the girl said, handing over the [Lock of the World].

"This is a token of the covenant between you and me, and it is also my challenge to you."

"I have hidden all my wisdom in this stone lock..."

Thinking about it now, she was really stupid back then.

There is no formal contract...

Obviously, they are just colleagues who care about themselves...

But it is this "stupidity" that anchors myself.

Now it seems that communicating with oneself in such a direct manner is a kind of wisdom.

"..."

After the two demons formed an alliance, the humans under their rule were able to integrate and build an extremely large city.

"I thought, since the difference in strength between you and me is so great, I should use my skills and wisdom."

"With your strength and my brains... this city would be amazing."

The result was exactly as Gui Zhong said. Under the guidance of her technology and wisdom, these little people created such a brilliant civilization.

[Chains of the World] turned and turned, and the following story was the past that Zhongli was most reluctant to recall.

"It seems that I still can't go on with you."

"Forget about the lock..."

In the end, he smiled somewhat dejectedly, and slowly turned into tiny dust and disappeared.

"This is the token of our covenant, and also my challenge to you."

"I have hidden all my wisdom in this stone lock"

"If I could unlock it..."

For many years after that incident, Morax kept the Midgard Chains in his possession.

It was as if he had buried this deep wear and tear deep in his heart, with the dust of time covering its surface until the day when his intellect faded and he would completely forget it.

Zhongli took a big sip of tea.

If things develop as I expected, it seems to be a good choice.

But, that noon.

The girl said, "Mr. Zhongli, you are so knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of [Chains of the World]?"

The historical dust that Zhongli had filled in the worn areas over the years was swept away in one go.

The past events and words in that memory suddenly reappeared clearly in his life.

The tea in the cup was finished, and Zhongli poured himself another pot of tea.

It seems strange and absurd.

The past between him and Gui Zhong spanned more than a thousand years, but it was suddenly mentioned by a foreign girl, and this girl seemed to be learning the ancient mechanical art of Liyue.

Judging from his later movements, it seems that he still wants to restore it, no, he wants to create a [Lock of the World] that carries his own wisdom and give it to his lover as a gift.

While Zhongli was recalling the painful past, he also felt that this incident was quite strange...

As a token of the covenant between him and Guizhong, and Guizhong's expression of his challenge to him, this [Lock of the World] would actually be used to witness love one day...

From the perspective of universal rationality, this is quite absurd.

Zhongli drank another cup of tea, and there was not much tea left in the pot.

As the recipient of the original [Chains of the Middle Ages], Morax can be sure that this token was originally used to witness the covenant between the two demons, not love.

And he and Guizhong were not lovers.

Looking at the [Chains of the World] still slowly spinning in his hand, Zhongli remained silent.

At least not at first...

But, expressing love, to some extent, may also be a kind of covenant, a contract.

Zhongli emptied the teapot given by Chao Ke, and even the last bit of tea entered the teacup.

Tilt your head back and swallow it in one gulp.

Since it is a kind of covenant and a kind of contract, then as the god of contract, Morax naturally has the obligation to maintain the effectiveness of this contract.

For this reason, Zhongli did not hesitate to sit back on the throne which he had slowly left, even if there was a risk of delaying his own plan.

With amber as the base,

Using the authority held by Morax as a seal,

Every cut, every moment.

Stroke by stroke,

Take away a trace of Morax's authority;

This is the work of the ancient Liyue ancestor, the founder of the Thousand Rocks defensive formation, and represents the pinnacle of Liyue's defensive mechanical arts.

They were all carved into that stone plate.

The [Jade Shield] that pops out when the holder is hit is enough to resist the full force of the demon.

That was the blow he failed to block for Gui Zhong...

Since you chose to send [Chains of the World] as a contract.

Since you chose to conclude this contract on the land of Liyue.

Then, I, the Demon God [Morax], will acknowledge that the contract you have concluded is valid!

And I will guarantee it with my power!

That night.

Zhongli drank the [Enlightenment Tea that Travels Through Time and Space] and became drunk.

The next day.

[Chains of the Dust World] was opened, and the information left behind by the Demon God of Dust was finally known by Zhongli.

This time, the deep wear and tear on the ancient rock was truly filled.

------------------

A few more days passed.

Falushan followed Chao Ke, walked through the Huacheng City, stepped out of the Daocheng Forest, and crossed the Tianbi Pool.

The outline of her hometown appeared before Falushan's eyes again.

When I think about it carefully, it has only been a few months since I left Xumi, but the stories that happened during this period are too...exciting.

It was so wonderful that Falushan will never forget it in her life.

We spent a few days together in the city.

Another farewell banquet was set up.

【True and Ultimate Ancient Coconut Charcoal Cake】

【True and Ultimate Golden Shrimp Balls】

【True and Ultimate Big Golden Chicken】

【True and Ultimate.....】

Chao Ke tried his best, and perhaps it was the emotions at the time of separation that made Chao Ke vaguely grasp the true heart of being a chef.

All the dishes produced have surpassed the category of "Ultimate Level" and received a full score of 100.

That is, [true and ultimate XXX].

Plate after plate of delicious food was placed before my eyes, emitting an especially tempting aroma.

But at this moment, Falushan had difficulty mustering an appetite. She stood up silently and walked behind Chao Ke.

He gently embraced Chao Ke with his arms and rested his forehead on Chao Ke's shoulder.

Feeling the warm embrace from behind, Chao Ke sighed.

"Don't eat?"

"You have to make me cry?"

"You will be happy only if I make you feel uncomfortable?"

"..."

"Don't look sad before you leave. It won't look good when you look back on it later."

As he said this, Chao Ke patted Falushan's forehead lightly.

"Come, eat. Coconut crust cakes won't be crispy after a while."

"it is good."

"The distance between Xumi and Fontaine is not far. If we want to meet, it will only take a few days."

"Besides, I also plan to open a branch in Xumi. It won't be long before we can meet for a long time again."

"Ah."

Falushan agreed softly, and suddenly thought of something.

He turned and left, rummaging in the bag he was carrying, and finally, gave Chao Ke an exquisite gift box.

"I have prepared a gift for you, do you want to open it?"

"Ah."

Chao Ke took the gift box and opened it gently.

In the gift box, there lies an extremely delicate stone lock. Although it is similar to the [Lock of the World], it can be seen that they are two objects of different styles.

"This is?"

"This is the token of our covenant, and also my promise to you."

"I have hidden all my wisdom and love in this stone lock."

"If you can unlock it..."

"I will cross mountains and seas to fulfill a contract called marriage"

The stone lock floated in Chao Ke's hand and rotated slowly.

The emotion contained in it made Chao Ke feel extremely heavy.

"I see..."

"This is the gift that the old man mentioned, which is a million times more precious than the stone plate that carries his power."

"That's true."

--------------

midnight.

Chao Ke gently got up from the bed and patted his lover who had also stayed awake all night.

"I'm leaving."

"come back earlier."

"Ah."

Chao Ke was not good at saying goodbye, nor did he want to make the matter too sentimental.

Leaving in the middle of the night may be the best option as it avoids saying goodbye during the day.

With a few quick steps, Chao Ke left Falushan's residence and came to the edge of Xumi City.

Silently taking off the void on his ears, Chao Ke suddenly recalled an interesting incident.

That day, I joked with the guard Gongora at the Kawan Post.

"Let me tell you, Falushan and I are actually lovers. We were originally on a love trip in the desert of Xumi, but we accidentally fell into a ruin and were locked up in a mechanism there for hundreds of years."

Unexpectedly, this young man actually believed it and took the initiative to tell the scholar Beham about it.

This scholar Beham is the same. He lacks the spirit of verification that a scholar should have, and he actually recorded this matter directly into the void.

However, Chao Ke probably wouldn't have thought at that time that things would develop into what they are now.

The nonsense he said casually at that time turned out to be a prophecy, determining the fate of the two people.

In this way, there is no need to trouble Falushan to go to the Ministry of Education to apply and modify the data in the void.

"Marriage is destined because of fate."

--------------

Chao Ke’s strength has greatly improved now.

The speed at which one can travel alone is far from what it used to be.

With all their might, after only one day and one night of running, Chao Ke went straight through the Xumi Desert from the direction of Hengnalana.

On the cliff, Chao Ke looked at the Hailu Harbor in the distance.

Looking at the standing statue of the water god, Chao Ke felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

After a mouthful of sand, I finally see water.

He looked at the height of the cliff and the distance from Hailu Port and took a deep breath.

He plans to play a cool game.

Without a parachute bag or wings of wind, Chao Ke put the package on his back, kicked off with his feet, and jumped straight down.

"Boom."

Even the solid rocks of the cliff could not support Chao Ke's force and were blown to pieces by the powerful reaction force.

From this we can see how much strength Chao Ke used when he kicked with his feet.

The initial speed was not slow to begin with, coupled with the acceleration given by gravity, Chao Ke's figure was like a human rocket.

On the border between Xumi and Fontaine, a gorgeous trajectory was drawn.

Only Fontaine did not have an air defense interception system, otherwise it would have been intercepted by missiles at this moment.

As the altitude decreased, Chao Ke’s figure was getting very close to Hailu Port.

Although he was extremely confident in his physical strength, Chao Keke was reluctant to damage Falushan's "marriage certificate" in the package.

Silently controlling the power of the water element, a pair of giant hands suddenly rose from the calm sea and gently intercepted Chao Ke.

In this way, it can be considered a soft landing.

Looking at the endless blue ocean of Fontaine, he shouted to Ke subconsciously.

"O Tide, I have returned!"
