Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

It was clear from the beginning that Tartaglia found Zhongli to be a mysterious person.

No matter where he is, whether facing the "Seven Stars of Liyue" or the "Fatui", he always finds a way to intervene. From preparing for the "Send Immortal Ceremony" to guiding the young master to the "Golden House", behind all this, it seems that this man's existence is indispensable.

Hearing this question, Zhongli was silent for a moment, as if he was reluctant to give a direct response.

"Don't be naive. Who do you think he is? Is he just a consultant to the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Could it be..."

"Let me tell you, this is Liyue's Rock God, Morax, and also the partner of Her Majesty the Queen."

The dungeon was dimly lit, and the lady did not hesitate to reveal Zhongli's true identity. The Rock God Morax, as expected!

After learning Zhongli's true identity, Tartaglia quickly reviewed the past events in his mind and finally understood why he had been being teased.

"I see. Is this your plan? Use the power of the Fatui to expose all of Liyue's hidden problems."

Tartaglia looked directly into Zhongli's eyes and figured out the Rock God's intentions.

Although Liyue is now known as the richest country in the world and its economy is booming, there are still many hidden dangers - such as the conflict between the immortals and the Seven Stars, the inertia caused by over-reliance on the Rock God and the lack of crisis awareness. The people of Liyue almost blindly believe that as long as the Rock Lord is there, everything will be fine.

However, this mentality of relying entirely on the protection of gods is exactly what Zhongli disagrees with.

Just like a father who has worked hard to raise his children, he also hopes that they can fly independently. So in order for Liyue to further develop and grow, Zhongli carefully planned this series of events.

He pretended to be dead and gathered together potential problem characters such as the Immortals, the Seven Stars, the Fatui, and the Demon God, and ultimately achieved the purpose of exposing the problem by causing chaos.

Only under this kind of extreme pressure can the true face of human nature be revealed. Who can be trusted, who can be trusted, who is a human and who is a ghost. After this drama of "the resurrection of the vortex demon god", Zhongli has seen through everything.

What surprised him even more was that the result was better than expected, and the immortals and humans began to work together almost without any barriers. And the one who played a key role in the bridge was the little brother named Li Mochen.

Because of this, Zhongli decided to give him the "Rainbow Spear" that pierced deeply into Osel's body as a reward to Li Mochen.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to deceive you."

If there was anyone Zhongli felt guilty about in the whole plan, it would be Tartaglia. After all, Liyue benefited greatly from this incident, and the Fatui got what they wanted. But Tartaglia, as a childe, suffered all kinds of misfortunes in the whole process.

He was busy all over, but his energy was in vain; he was beaten in the golden house, tied up with ropes and thrown into prison, and when he returned, he had to take the blame.

With the joint actions of Zhongli, the immortals, the Fatui and all the forces in Liyue, the world in which only Childe was "injured" was finally created.

"You're only saying this now, huh."

After hearing Zhongli's bland apology, Tartaglia could only sigh deeply.

"Although it was unintentional, it was inevitable. I was surprised that it happened."

As Zhongli spoke, he gently pointed at the chains that bound Tartaglia. Those chains made by immortals, which could not be damaged even by swords and axes, immediately broke crisply.

With just a slight movement of his fingers, Tartaglia regained his freedom. His power was astonishing.

"Now that the young master has escaped, our mission in Liyue has been completed. Morax, we can now fulfill the contract."

Seeing that the young master had escaped successfully, the lady turned to look at the ally of the Ice Queen.

"The contract has been concluded, and the promised things are delivered to you."

As Zhongli slowly stretched out his hand, a rock-gold "chariot" chess piece floated in his palm. The Heart of God that the lady had taken from Wendy before was a turquoise chess piece, shaped like the "queen" in chess. The Heart of God in Zhongli's hand at this moment was a rock-gold chess piece that symbolized the "chariot".

"Hmph, such an arrogant tone. Let's go, Tartaglia."

After taking the Heart of God handed over by Zhongli, the lady sneered and turned away, followed closely by Tartaglia.

With the departure of the two Fatui executives, peace returned to the underground prison.

"Come out, both of you."

However, at this moment, Zhongli shouted towards the corner of the cell door, as if he had noticed something.

"As sharp as ever, my old friend."

Not long after, a man and a woman walked out slowly from the shadows at the corner. The man looked quite young, exuding a heroic aura; the woman was a little older, but her beautiful face was filled with a bit of resentment. These two were naturally Shen He and Li Mochen, who had been waiting here for a long time.

Although this was not their first meeting with Zhongli, Li Mochen felt differently when he met this big man again. He already knew that Zhongli was the Rock King Emperor, and he had witnessed him handing over the Heart of God to the lady.

"Master Liuyun, long time no see."

Seeing the divine crane walking towards him, Zhongli greeted it in a normal tone.

"You only know how to recognize people now. In the afternoon, you were acting like 'Who are you? I don't know you.'"

Seeing that Zhongli still looked indifferent, Shenhe couldn't help but question him angrily.

After learning that Zhongli was the Emperor, Shenhe was undoubtedly the most angry. After all, she had been with Zhongli for a long time today, but he still refused to admit it and simply treated her like a fool.

"That was due to the situation. I had no choice, but I did not lie. Now I am no longer the Rock King."

"No longer the Rock King? What does that mean? Are you going to give up?"

"Well, if I were to put it in mortal terms, 'retirement' would be a more appropriate term."

"Why don't you just retire honestly? Why do you have to pretend to be dead to test us? You are such a sinister boss."

When it comes to the key point, Zhongli could only spread his hands to express his helplessness, because he knew very well that what he did was indeed not authentic enough.

"Okay, I understand your retirement, but why do you want to give the Heart of God to the Fatui?"

Putting aside the topic of Rock King's retirement, Shenhe turned his gaze to the direction where the lady left and asked in confusion.
