To the eternal you

The arrival of Qi moved both Keqing and Ningguang.

The former did not expect her to be so important, while the latter was a little uncertain about his actions. In all fairness, it is undoubtedly the best for Ruoqi to stand on their side, so at least it is not a one-sided situation.

But before Ningguang took the initiative to invite Qi to come, Qi first greeted all the immortals obediently, then puffed out his small chest and came to the center of the crowd.

Zhenjun Qiyue Zhuyang also lowered his deer head slightly, and when he looked at the petite and lovely girl, his voice was much gentler: "We know that Qi Zhenjun was born in the prayer of human beings, and his heart will inevitably be biased towards the human side." , but it doesn’t matter. According to the emperor’s will in the past, we will consider and adopt your opinions. If Lord Qi can convince us and come up with a feasible solution, we can also give it a try.”

"Before revealing my answer, I hope everyone can answer me a question."

With a solemn expression on Qi's lovely face, he looked at the immortals or the seven stars present with different expressions.

"Have you ever thought about what our life would be like without God?"

Such a question may seem disrespectful, but it is not. It is precisely because you will think about the changes that the gods have made in your life that you can intuitively understand what it means to walk with the gods.

Ke Qing walked out first, with a serious expression on her face.

"I will answer this question. Ningguang is different from me. She is too godly, so her answer must be based on your thoughts, but I won't do that."

"I will answer this question on a case-by-case basis, and because of this, I may say words that make the immortals feel dissatisfied. Do you mind?"

The immortals have no objection. The immortals of Yuheng star have more or less heard from their own channels. After all, it is the one who dared to say in the ceremony of inviting immortals, "The emperor has guarded Liyue for thousands of years. But will it be the same for the next millennium, ten millennia, a hundred millennia?" Humans.

"Yu Hengxing can speak out, as long as the words are reasonable, we old guys are not foolish people."

Grandma Ping took the initiative to take over the conversation, and Zhenjun Qiyue Zhuyang glanced at the silent mandrill, and Zhenjun Lishui and Dieshan nodded silently.

"Fine, then I'll be blunt."

Ke Qing took a deep breath, and then there was determination in her eyes.

"Liyue Port's current life, no, it should be said that the most important thing that has supported Liyue Port for thousands of years is not the emperor, but people. Those who rely on their own efforts, wisdom, and courage will belong to "people" Proud to be a "person" who has followed through on a brilliant road! "

"We are companions with the gods, not sheep in captivity. I know these words are very rebellious, but the evidence is also today's Liyue Port!"

The hand under the bright purple leather glove was tightly clenched, and Ke Qing's eyes had a gleam, which was something that the despicable usurpers in the mouths of the immortals did not have.

"Dijun's passing disrupted many of our plans, and the original administrative system was almost on the verge of collapse. For this reason, we had to curb power as soon as possible and move the tilted water basin. The immortals only knew that we took the opportunity to seize Liyue Port. All the rights, everyone knows that on the day and the next day of the accident in Xiandianyi, the prices inside and outside Liyue Port soared, and the common people hoarded food, and the things that can be bought by a few hundred moras soared several times or ten times."

"At that time, if we hadn't acted resolutely and took the lead in stabilizing the market, I am afraid that it would not just be rumors, but a large number of people would start fleeing to other countries."

As far as Keqing is concerned, she doesn't care about power. The position of Yuhengxing just provides her with the opportunity to flex her muscles and realize her ambition to strengthen the country. Otherwise, do you really think that it is very simple to assert the regime?

It can be seen from the dark circles under the eyes of Keqing's eyes that the makeup is hard to hide. Even the "Yuanshin" whose physique is far beyond ordinary people is working hard, his body has begun to issue warnings.

Not to mention that since Dijun left, many thorny issues that she didn't have to consider in the past have been piled up, and it is only now that she realizes how immature her awareness of confronting Dijun's childishness in the past is.

"What I want to say is not an excuse for myself. We are obliged to fulfill our responsibilities and work as the Seven Stars in our positions. But I still sincerely hope and beg all the True Monarchs to give us some more time."

"Things related to the destiny of mankind should be done by humans. Moreover, humans can definitely do better!"

Perhaps it was the burning belief that made the immortals recognize that the coercion of the immortal family that existed at Yujingtai all the time finally dissipated.

Undoubtedly, the other party was telling the truth, and they were actually doing practical things, but this did not mean that they would retreat. After a few heartfelt words, the immortals decided to let Mandrill answer this question.

Mandrill folded his hands on his chest, with a cold face, closed his eyes and replied, "None of us can imagine what Liyue would be like without the emperor. No, to be more precise, if there is no emperor, there will be no Liyue today."

When Keqing tightly pursed her lips and stared at him, Mandrill still didn't respond, but calmly opened her eyes and said again.

"It's not something you or anyone can deny. Liyue's current status is all due to the emperor's benevolence. If it weren't for him to cleanse the world and protect a corner of pure land, human beings would not even have the opportunity to work hard."

"It's cruel and realistic. But for us, Liyue Port is just a baby in the swaddle, too fragile, and we have to protect it in this way."

He folded his hands on his chest, and then looked towards the direction of Liyue Port Wharf, his voice carried a hint of a dreamlike murmur.

"Three thousand and seven hundred years ago, there were "Eight Qius" invading the sea.It was the era when Liyue was created, and the ocean was still the garden of giant monsters and demon gods. The ancestors you said were proud of human beings could only use their meager strength to fight the sea, but they would be submerged by the waves in an instant. "

"If there wasn't an emperor, how many people would have survived the Demon God War 2000 years ago? On that fragmented Liyue territory, great demons entrenched everywhere, and humans were no more noble than domestic animals to them."

Every word pierced Keqing's self-esteem like a cone of needles.

"You may want to say that you are not ignoring the achievements of the emperor, but want to prove that human beings are worthy of this doting, which is not wrong. But you are too naive, without the power to protect, you can't do anything without the will to protect. "

"We have repaired an end machine before, and we are also trying our best to restore the analysis. As long as it can be made, it can become a powerful force..."

Ke Qing defended palely, even Ning Guang lowered her eyebrows and thought about the way to break the situation.

"The death machine you mentioned was made by this immortal."

Master Liuyun borrowed wind to tilt his head maliciously, his sapphire eyes were full of mockery.

"It seems that you all have different opinions on this issue, so let's take a short break here and listen to what I have to say."

Qi's expression was gentle, as if he was not affected by the rebuttal just now, but narrated.

"When we jumped out of the barrier between God and the church and looked at the southern land of Tevat first, we could clearly find that, as an isolated island far away from the mainland, because of its natural environmental factors The island is still a resident of other main islands, and their cultural style of life has not changed much compared to a hundred years ago.”

"But when we observe the residents of Daozuma City from top to bottom, we can quickly find that the people of Daozuma appear to be more extreme or Xenophobia, the reason actually stems from the disaster 500 years ago. Inaozuma City has become extremely barren from the land that was originally favored. for the rigors of survival."

Ke Qing also looked through the historical materials of the country that seemed to take off on a pumice stone, and felt a little bit in her heart.

"They don't even have extra food to brew wine, which is one of the reasons why their wine culture has rarely made breakthroughs in self-production except for imports. Raytheon will not teach them how to brew fine wine, but to teach them the skills of smelting weapons, because Need to fight, need to fight, in that dark period, if you want to survive on the barren land, the only way out is to fight."

Qi's expression was a little lonely, which also attracted Mandrill's attention.

"But what I said is not to advocate any point of view. People don't need gods or can only become canary-like existences. On the contrary, it is also the example of Inazuma Castle. The shortest-term Thor... .Irrigate the land with divine power, and give people hope to solve the disaster rooted in past sins. This move will undoubtedly prevent Daoqi's land from being polluted, and will not be named a sinner among the Seven Kingdoms."

"This is something that cannot be solved by manpower. Similarly, this is the reason why Inazuma can rejuvenate. After knowing their own powerlessness, people will do their best to move forward and use their own efforts and wisdom to change the current social situation. , to eliminate the shortcomings of the past in the form of reform, and unite as one to invest in the construction of Daozu."

Of course, Ningguang understands what this means. It is difficult to predict the power of an administrative system that can implement the orders of the upper echelons, and the power that the people can unleash.

"Today's rice wife is among the best in the Seven Kingdoms. This is not due to the gods alone. If you read the history books, you can know that the god of thunder is not good at fighting, and he is more powerful than the previous god of thunder. I can't beat the horse."

"Why is she able to do things that her predecessors could not do? You can still find records of backwardness and poverty in various places in the past. Even in the earliest times, the areas where human beings lived were only Narugami Island, Kujo Jinya, Tatara Sand, and in the sea. Before the island is connected to the main island by the trade route, it is often caught in a famine, and it is difficult to get out of the island."

"People need the power from the gods, sometimes it is guidance, sometimes it is protection. If they lose these, it may be difficult to maintain their daily life. The power derived from Thor improves the earth, and the people inherit their last wishes and beliefs."

Ke Qing couldn't help but asked: "I know the historical events you mentioned, and I also admire the actions of that Thunder God. But if everything depends on the gods, then what is the meaning of the survival of the human race? If there is no meaning , and why is it loved by the gods!"

"Please listen to me, sister Keqing. I know my point of view is still superficial, but I hope you will keep it in mind."

Prayer met everyone's attention with a determined gaze.

"The power of the gods created our immediate environment, but on this basis, we should also clearly recognize that it is not the gods themselves that really affect our thinking, logic, culture, philosophy and aesthetics, but ours. The surrounding environment that exists objectively.”

"Whether it's the power of the gods, or the pride and not flinching that a human being should have, these are the seven kingdoms that have been able to prosper to this day. After thousands of years, it seems like a miracle has come to every countless ordinary and ordinary lives. s reason."

After all, no one knows, maybe at the next moment, the happy and stable life in the past may collapse.

Boom--!

Amidst everyone's amazed expressions, Yujing Terrace could feel a weak shock, while the waves at the pier in Liyue Port had already flooded the highest water level ever, and the original blue sky seemed to be torn apart by invisible big hands, revealing its dark and oppressive essence.

The moisture in the air was extremely thick, fine rain began to fall, and all the immortals looked towards the other end of the sea.

"That's..." Ke Qing's eyes widened, and her tone couldn't help feeling impatient.

"Has the ancient demon god recovered..." Ningguang frowned tightly, then immediately turned her head and said: "There is no need to delay any longer, if the other party approaches Liyue Port—"

That would mean the collapse of the order headed by Seven Stars.

Countless people were displaced, and what was lost was enough to severely damage the foundation of Liyue.
