Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Although I have no ambition to compete for supremacy, I am well aware of the sufferings of the world.

I just want to clear away the darkness everywhere and protect the peace here.

The few words on the inscription "Emperor's Introduction" are a true portrayal of Zhongli's life.

The more Li Mochen delved into the history of this emperor, the more he felt that he was kind-hearted and had great ambitions and courage.

However, compassion is not a quality that an emperor should possess, or rather, it should not be regarded as something praiseworthy about an emperor.

As a martial artist, Li Mochen had heard his grandfather tell many stories about ancient emperors since he was a child.

However, few of the popular emperors of the Earth Era were known for their kindness.

Similarly, Zhongli's actions over the years do not seem to be consistent with the image of an emperor.

He descends once a year to provide Liyue with operational guidance and management advice for its future development, and continues to use his divinity to create Mora currency for the "Golden House".

Rather than being an emperor, he is more like Liyue’s chief advisor and money printing machine.

The key is that all of Zhongli’s efforts are selfless and he never asks for anything in return.

He is not playing the role of an emperor, but more like a free babysitter for the people of Liyue.

In this light, it would be more appropriate to call Zhongli "Emperor Rock King" rather than "Nanny Rock King".

In comparison, the current Ice Queen of the "Kingdom of Winter" truly plays the role of a traditional emperor.

She recruited soldiers, selected talented people, and gathered many powerful men in the far north.

Afterwards, she did not hesitate to use various high-tech means to improve her combat effectiveness, and even bestowed her own divine power on her subordinates.

In other words, the Ice Queen is indeed working hard and doing everything she can to make her country stronger.

As a result, the "Fools" became one of the most powerful organizations in the world in a short period of time.

Although they have not yet reached the point where they can command the world, they have indeed gained an advantage over other countries.

The Ice Queen's behavior is clearly not in keeping with her status as a deity; it can even be said to be quite inappropriate.

Because her act of directly giving power to her subordinates is a bit like an adult protecting children from a fight.

But for the people of Zhidong, she is the best emperor because she makes the country prosperous and strong.

On the other hand, Zhongli only made the country rich, but it was not strong enough, so that the Fatui dared to run wild under Liyue.

By analogy, when it comes to the way of the emperor, the Ice Queen would score a full 100 points, while Zhongli would probably only get 60 points.

On the other side, the God of Wind probably wouldn't even get a ten point in this regard.

After all, they adhere to the philosophy of governing by doing nothing, follow the way of nature, and take things as they come.

Use parallelism to describe the style of the three gods:

God of Winter: It is our duty to restore the glory of God's kingdom!

God of Liyue: I will protect everything in this land.

God of Mondstadt: National stability is considered a success, hehe.

……

After understanding all this, Li Mochen felt that he needed to speak out.

"I want to follow the path of the Ice Queen and use the power of the immortals to arm Liyue, making it a powerful country capable of fighting against Winter."

So, on the top of the Solitary Cloud Pavilion, Li Mochen confided his lifelong ambition to the Emperor.

The reason why Liyue is always slightly inferior to Zhidong is not due to lack of financial resources.

The key is that the Ice Queen of Solstice has no martial ethics and uses her divine power to interfere in the competition between countries.

Therefore, Li Mochen planned to borrow the power of the immortals.

Just like the Ice Queen, use extraordinary powers to strengthen the country's army.

In fact, he had already discussed this plan with Ningguang and they had reached unanimous agreement.

Li Mochen hopes to become a bridge between mortals and immortals and pave the way to achieve this goal.

You said that the Ice Queen of Solstice was awesome and she created the Fatui and made them run rampant.

Then why can't the immortals of Liyue set up a similar organization to fight against you?

"I see. I understand what you mean."

Hearing Li Mochen's statement, Zhongli nodded slightly in agreement.

Different from Zhongli who is determined to protect Liyue with his own strength, Li Mochen not only hopes to protect Liyue with his own strength, but also wants to make Liyue itself stronger.

This kind of strength does not only refer to wealth or population size, but also to how many strong people and how many powerful weapons and equipment one has.

Now that we have sufficient funds, the next step should be to vigorously develop military strength and build a powerful army that can compete with the Fatui.

Then let all the immortals become the core figures of this army, so that the immortals and the people can be united and become invincible...

Only when the immortals are truly integrated into Liyue society and Liyue is led by the immortals themselves, will Liyue reach its strongest state.

"Mr. Zhongli, your intention is to hand over the current Liyue to mortals to govern, and let you and other immortals retreat behind the scenes."

"That's true."

“But I don’t think now is the best time because the world is not peaceful right now.”

Contrary to Zhongli's opinion, Li Mochen firmly believes that Liyue should not give up the power of the immortals, but should strengthen its close cooperation with them.

The most intuitive example is that if the immortals continue to live in seclusion, the Fatui's conspiracy is bound to succeed.

Relying solely on the Liyue Seven Stars and the Thousand Winds Army's soldiers, they were simply unable to resist the attack of the vortex demon god Osel.

Therefore, based on the existing Liyue armed forces, it is not qualified to declare childish remarks such as "the age of mortals has arrived".

After listening to Li Mochen's explanation, Zhongli fell into a brief contemplation.

Indeed, Li Mochen's thinking was completely opposite to his.

Zhongli adheres to the traditional concept of immortals, which is to avoid worldly troubles.

Li Mochen, on the other hand, is more inclined towards the ideas of the secular world and advocates active involvement in worldly affairs.

Since the immortals possess such tremendous power, why would they choose to live in seclusion from the world and hide their light?

Is it because immortals should not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world? This statement does not make sense.

After all, there are many extraordinary forces in this world that are intervening in worldly affairs.

The Fatui, the Cult of the Abyss, countless sealed demons, and even the "chess game manipulator" behind the scenes.

A little thought will reveal that this world still has many hidden crises.

Therefore, in this context, the first thing Li Mochen had to do was...

"Mr. Zhongli, I hope to rebuild the Qianyan Group and let the immortal participate in it."

In fact, after discussing with Ningguang yesterday, Li Mochen already had a specific plan to put his ideas into practice.

He hopes to build a more powerful Liyue, and to this end, changing Liyue's current status quo is his first step.

The first step to changing Liyue is to revive the Thousand Rocks, the special forces unit that once dominated the "Demon War".
