Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt

A few days later...

At noon, the sun was high overhead, and the strong light shone directly on the ground. The temperature gradually rose, making people feel an unbearable heat.

"It's almost time, let's go to Yujingtai and take a look." In the lobby, Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said to Qianyu and Guizhong.

"Yes, indeed." Qianyu nodded in agreement. He slowly stood up from the wooden chair and stretched his body.

After a few days of rest, he had a new understanding of the Wangsheng Hall. If its special business nature is not taken into consideration, this place might become a very comfortable... B&B?

Outside the Hall of Rebirth, Ying and Paimeng were waiting anxiously. They stood at the door, looking into the distance from time to time, with expectant expressions on their faces.

As the wooden door was pushed open with a creaking sound, Qianyu, Zhongli and Guizhong walked out together.

"You finally came out." Paimon said impatiently, her eyes glancing into the distance from time to time, as if she couldn't wait to leave.

"Let's go over there quickly, there are so many people there now..." Paimon urged, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

At this moment, Ying suddenly noticed Gui Zhong behind Qian Yu. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she asked curiously, "Is Miss Gui Zhong coming too?"

Guizhong nodded, his eyes revealing a firm belief: "After all, it is Morax's farewell ceremony, I must participate!"

Her voice was full of laughter. After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves, revealing her slender white palms.

Hearing this, the corners of Qianyu's mouth twitched violently, as if stimulated by something.

Zhongli smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible embarrassment on his face. He shook his head slightly, as if he felt somewhat helpless about Guizhong's words, but he could not refute them.

"I always feel that you three have a very good relationship." At this time, Paimeng suddenly came to her senses. She carefully recalled everything that had happened before, and a shocking result came to her mind.

"So you two actually knew each other a long time ago?"

"Well, it's not too early, maybe just a few thousand years ago." Qianyu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ying was speechless. Wasn't this considered early thousands of years ago?

“But now it all makes sense.” Zhongli said softly.

"So Sister Guizhong is also an immortal?" Paimon asked curiously.

Hearing Paimon's name, Gui Zhong's face gradually blushed, and then he nodded shyly.

"So, Mr. Ruota..." Paimon continued to ask.

"That's right." Qianyu replied.

As everyone headed towards Yujingtai, their surroundings gradually became more lively.

"By the way, Qianyu, why didn't Fulin come with you?" Ying asked Qianyu.

"Due to previous factors, she still needs to rest now." Qianyu replied.

"I have already sent her back to Mondstadt. As for the pick-up..." Qianyu kept it a secret.

"Tevalin, of course."

Just as they were chatting, everyone suddenly noticed a noise coming from the Yujing Terrace not far away.

Turning around, I saw four Yakshas who had transformed themselves waiting there, firmly occupying the best position.

Of course, the main contributor was Xiao who arrived early.

At the same time, Grandma Ping, Lishui Dieshan and Xueyue Zhuyang were also standing beside the incense burner. They had solemn expressions and firm eyes, as if they were waiting for some important moment.

Ningguang stood in the center of Yujingtai. She was tall and slender, with an elegant temperament, like a blooming flower, attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment, she was presiding over this grand ceremony of sending off the immortals together with Ganyu and Keqing. Their movements were graceful and smooth, and their voices were clear and melodious, like the sounds of nature, which made people intoxicated.

"It seems to have started!" Paimon shouted excitedly. She clenched her fists, leaned forward slightly, her face full of anticipation and excitement.

The crowd was bustling and packed, and everyone had a solemn look on their face, as if waiting for something important to happen.

Seeing this scene, Zhongli's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealed a kind of relief and emotion. He stood there quietly, like a calm mountain, as if he had expected everything in front of him.

At this time, Ningguang walked onto the stage, her voice clear and loud:

"Everyone, it's just as I said. The Emperor's fate is like the sun and the moon, but things happen unexpectedly, and he encountered a thunder disaster..." Hearing this, the people in the audience showed sad expressions, and some even sobbed softly.

However, at this moment, an inappropriate laugh suddenly sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gui Zhong covering his mouth and laughing secretly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhongli looked at her calmly, with no intention of blaming or stopping her. Instead, he seemed to be condoning her mischief.

"Haha, sorry... I just didn't expect them to come up with such a reason..." Gui Zhong explained with a smile, her tone full of teasing and mockery.

Obviously, what Ningguang said about the emperor encountering a thunder tribulation tickled her funny bone.

In other words, this ceremony was built on her sense of humor.

"Hehe, be careful. It will be bad if people around you find out." Qianyu reminded in a low voice.

As time went by, the people at the ceremony still couldn't believe that the Rock King Emperor, who had been guarding them for 3,700 years, had passed away.

It was not until the last wisp of white smoke from the longevity incense floated out of the incense burner that they woke up from their dream.

"It's really unbelievable. A contract of 3,700 years just burned and turned into ashes..." Shi Tou said sadly not far away, with tears in his eyes.

"I thought he would exist forever, but I didn't expect that he would leave us one day." Another person on the side sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They once had awe and trust in the Rock King, believing him to be invincible. But now, facing his departure, everyone felt an indescribable loss and sadness.

“Everyone, the Emperor’s passing means the end of the contract and the end of the old era…” Ningguang said calmly, “But the people of Liyue will not lose faith and hope because of this. On the contrary, we will continue to move forward with the Emperor’s will.”

Her eyes swept over everyone present, as if conveying a firm belief to them.

“As the saying goes, in a place with gods, the dream is endless. But since it is a dream, there will always be a day when we will wake up, and there will always be a day when we will learn to say goodbye.”

"Now, all contracts have returned to the starting point. Will you still bless the next era?"

As Ningguang's words echoed in the surroundings, applause roared, and people either cried sadly or shouted excitedly.

Looking at all this, Zhongli let out a long sigh. Although he no longer served as the Rock King Emperor, he felt very gratified to see such a ceremony of sending off the immortals.

At this moment, he finally let go of the burden of three thousand seven hundred years.
