To the eternal you

When Ying came back from Qunyu Pavilion, she ran into Mr. Zhongli who was coming back from Tianheng Mountain, and Miss Ganyu was with him.

She stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Qi said that her existence needs to consume your divine power, and the contract is a bridge for you to instill celestial power, but after one contract is over, can you sign another contract! "

Paimon also said, "That's right, Qi Bao has helped a lot in this big incident in Liyue Port, it's too pitiful to just fall into a deep sleep like this!"

"You are right, but even the King of Rocks cannot sign an unfair contract."

Zhong Li stood with his hands behind his back, with an apologetic expression on his face.

"And... just now I have lost the heart of God."

"What?!" Paimeng was even more shocked than Ying, and she hurried forward and asked repeatedly: "Why is this? Did the fools send some new executives over!"

"No, I gave it to the young master and asked him to take it back to the Winter Palace to return to his life." Zhong Li shook his head indifferently. If he wanted to snatch the heart of God, even if the Ice Queen came in person, he would not be able to do it, let alone the group of executive officers. up.

"When you were in the Golden House, judging from what the lady said, you signed a contract with the Ice Queen...?"

There was dissatisfaction on the face, and Gan Yu also noticed the opponent's clenched fists, and subconsciously looked at Dijun.

"That's right." Zhongli's still calm words aroused the traveler's anger, and she stepped forward and grabbed Zhongli's collar.

"So for you, what is praying for? Why are everyone in Liyue working so hard! Could it be that the things she did for Liyue were just to complete the contract! At least as a member of Liyue...she doesn't There should also be a hope left..."

"I'm sorry...whether it's to you or to her, but this is a transaction based on a "contract"—a matter between me and that "Ice Queen". "

Zhongli's answer made Ying a little disheartened, she let go.

"I understand your thoughts, and I also thought about whether it would be better if she accepted Liyue's affairs, but she refused."

Zhong Li didn't mean to blame the traveler, but just looked down at her.

"Didn't she entrust it to you at that time? It belongs to my own wish. I don't think it's a good idea to keep her by force, and it's too cruel for her."

"You can say whatever you want...I understand now that I've been a fool from the beginning to the end. I was taken advantage of and didn't know..."

Ying's lost expression was particularly distressing, and Paimon moved to her side and looked at her worriedly.

"Traveler..." Gan Yu was about to touch her shoulder but was patted away.

"I know that from your standpoint, I shouldn't blame you... because this is also the decision that Qi made himself, but I don't want to recognize such things. Falling asleep on my own..."

Ying whispered, tears glistening in the girl's eyes.

"Doesn't it make me look like an idiot who can't do anything... She never discussed it with me. Is our trust so weak..."

"No, she is willing to give you that wish, which already represents her wholehearted trust. Besides, it's not really impossible to do this. In fact, I came to you with suggestions on resuscitating her, and I think you After all, the knowledge of her past is too fragmented, and it is normal to feel puzzled or dissatisfied with her making such a choice."

Zhong Li sighed softly, then turned sideways and beckoned.

"It's just that it's not suitable to talk about this here, so come with me for now."

He led everyone to the house where the girl lived in Liyuegang. The courtyard was very clean, and it could be seen that it was not abandoned, and the furniture inside was not dusty, and some fresh flowers were picked and planted. , There is a faint fragrance permeating the air.

"This used to be the house where she and her mother lived in Liyue, and it was also arranged by Gan Yu."

Zhong Li sat on the chair and arranged the tea sets in order, while Gan Yu went to prepare the boiling water, watched Pai Meng and Ying take their seats and began to narrate at the same time.

"Qi's mother?" Paimon scratched his head, and then suddenly said: "Speaking of which, Qi did mention that his original name was Lei Dianqi, from Dao Wife... which means that Qi's mother It's Thor!"

"That's right." Zhong Li glanced at Paimon in surprise, as if he was a little surprised by her understanding, after all, the behavior of this snack food along the way is really cute in a daze.

"Qi said at that time that he had received your help, why?" Ying's state of mind was a little confused at the moment, but the desire to understand prevailed.

"Raidenqi is not a natural god. She is a god-made doll made by Dao's wife, the god of thunder, Balzebu, and she has poured a lot of effort into it. After that, Qi became Balzebu's favorite daughter. Assist in government affairs and manage Dao's wife."

"Then Balzebu also passed on the position of God of Thunder to Raiden Qi, making her the new Inazuma's lord of Jianming, Zun Dai Gosho-sama, who is highly respected by the public. She also takes this responsibility seriously and devotes herself to it."

Paimon and Ying looked at each other, a little puzzled, but did not interrupt.

"I think you are all curious. If this is the case, then why Raidenqi and Balzebu came to Liyue to seek my help. This disaster stems from the first-generation doll that Balzebu made in the past, named Raiden Kunobeng. "

"Could it be because this Raiden country was jealous of Qi's treatment, so he chose to attack Qi like a villain?"

Paimon asked suspiciously.

"Well, if we analyze it from the initial point of view, maybe it is true, but in terms of subsequent development results, I guess his original intention is not Thunder Qi, but Balzebu."

Gan Yu brought hot water and started making tea for Mr. Zhongli, and his face was faintly visible in the rising mist.

"What did Thor do to him?" Ying also asked.

"Balzebu thinks that the collapse of the Raiden Kingdom does not meet her requirements, um... the gods of each of the Seven Kingdoms have their own ideas, the god of wind in Mond is freedom, and the god of rock in Liyue is contract , and Daozuma's God of Thunder yearns for eternity, and before Qi Wei was born, she believed that eternity was closest to the law of heaven."

"Tianli..." Ying muttered in a low voice, bringing back bad memories in her mind.

"In short, for failed works, most craftsmen will take the method of remaking and saving materials, and because of his own compassion, Balzebu chose to seal the power of the Raiden Kingdom and abandon it in an uninhabited secret place middle."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the Wuxin puppet gave birth to his own thoughts, and he began to wander. The name Raiden Kunobeng was also obtained by himself during the long journey."

Zhongli began to brew the tea skillfully, and the aroma of the tea gradually overflowed, and Gan Yu also took his seat, but his expression was a little gloomy.

"During those long years, he gradually developed resentment towards Balzebu, and on the day Raidenqi took office as the Imperial Palace, he thoroughly learned of the existence of this "sister". Because of this, he developed a certain mentality of confrontation , by inflicting damage on Lei Dianqi to hook the Thunder God, and the forces behind him are the fools."

"Why is it this group of people again! It's really haunting!" Paimon said angrily.

"Are they planning to attack the Heart of God 500 years ago...?" Ying frowned tightly, "Can you answer me a question first, with their way of doing things, even if their goal is to save the world , but the price is to destroy the order of the existing country, and even pay the lives of others and even gods, is this really worth it?"

"From a rational point of view, it is naturally not worth it. But the goal of Raiden Guobeng is not for the heart of God. More precisely, the heart of God is just a means for him to achieve his goal."

Zhong Li didn't pick up the tea and start chatting, but showed seriousness.

"Whether his initial attack was for revenge or other goals is unknown, but for Qi, she was seriously injured in order to protect the people traveling with her. From the perspective of a god, it can even be said to be weak."

"Woo... Pray for your pity." Paimon said with a bitter face.

"Didn't that Thunder God send someone to protect her? Isn't she an important daughter!" Ying only felt that her blood pressure was starting to rise.

"Yes. But Raiden Kunobeng is a puppet made by God after all, and with the help of fools, his seal was broken, and his power was also strengthened, which is only stronger than the lady and son you saw."

Zhong Li sighed.

"On the day Raiden Qi was attacked, Balzebu was working hard on the new generation of puppet he made, General Raiden, who is also the God of Thunder who rules Dao's wife. When he arrived at the scene, Qi was seriously injured, and the other party He also paid a certain amount of injuries and escaped."

Now even Paimon's blood pressure began to rise, and his little fist was clenched tightly.

"Afterwards, Balzebu ran out of materials due to the continuous production of dolls, so he went to Liyue, hoping to get my help. It was because of this that after three years of hard work, we restored Raidenqi's body. At that time, they also lived here for a period of time, got to know Xianjia and Gan Yu, and signed the contract before leaving."

At this point in the matter, it can be regarded as a complete revelation of the origin of the relationship between Qi and Liyue.

"No, no, if that's the case, after getting to know Dijun and having Thunder God's protection, Qi shouldn't be in danger again no matter what!"

Paimon leaned half on the table and asked inexplicably.

"This is exactly the crux of what I want to tell you. Raiden Nation Beng and another enemy of the Seven Kingdoms jointly planned a disaster, using the remains of the demon god left by Daozu to try to pollute the entire area of ​​Daozu. Sea Territory, and Raiden Nation Beng really exposed his purpose in that battle."

With a helpless expression, Zhong Li picked up his tea and took a sip.

"He is an unintentional puppet. Because of this, he likes to observe other people's emotions, especially negative emotions. The experience of wandering has changed him a lot. And the battle against Raiden Qi was also created by his moves. He is no longer unintentional, and therefore Some kind of self-destructive thoughts arise."

"Raiden Kunibeng attacked my old friend on Daozuma's Yaeji Island, and it was the Yae Palace Secretary who told me these past events, and was then rushed to solve it by General Thunder God, but what I didn't expect was that with him The subjugated people who planned this matter together took advantage of the special nature of Raiden Beng to combine it with the remains of the dead demon god, forming an extremely difficult pollution disaster."

"If you simply kill with force, it will only cause the demon god's filth to pollute the surrounding sea area along the sea, and even affect the sea area on Liyue and Mond's side. Such a situation is very important for every country adjacent to the sea. Unbearable."

"What's more, Daozuma's food demand is mostly based on the rich seafood industry and foreign imports, and because of this incident, a very serious disaster occurred the year before this incident, and Daozuma spent a whole year of disasters. , the people are living in dire straits, if they are hit hard again."

Zhong Li didn't continue to say the following words, Paimeng and Ying naturally knew it, and at the same time showed bitterness.

"So praying is because of this..."

"Well, in order to save a country that is on the verge of collapse, and to realize her mother's vision of reaching eternity, she chose this path."

Zhong Li looked at the depressed two, and said softly again.

"So you can probably understand her choice, right?"

"...what a hopeless idiot."

Ying said quietly.

"No wonder Qi said that his wish is to go back to Dazuma..."

Paimon looked a little sad.

"Yes, she entrusted this wish to you."

Zhong Li thought for a moment, looked at Gan Yu, and tried to ask her opinion, but Gan Yu shook his head and refused.

"Speaking of which, is that Qi the former Thunder Qi, or the current Floating Life Practitioner?"

Paimon watched the traveler remain silent and changed the subject.

"And she also said that if we find traces of her past existence, as long as we don't want to give up, we can offer a flower of heart to make a wish!"

"In this case, I will be able to resurrect!"

"About this, I actually have to tell you some bad news."

Zhongli's words made Ying raise her head, and Paimeng also looked at him with a small face of grievance.

"Raiden Qi...is dead after all. I believe Qi has told you about this, and that's why she didn't call herself Raiden Qi."

"No matter how similar she is to Qi, she is not the Lei Dian Qi from the past after all, and what remains is only a ray of soul that is too hot, and still unwilling to leave after flowing into the earth's veins."

Zhongli's words hurt people's confidence, but it is also reality.

"Returning to Dao's wife also means returning to the roots of fallen leaves."

Gan Yu, who had been silent all this time, also spoke.

"The thing about the wish...?"

Ying looked at the two in astonishment.

"We don't know, maybe Qi can indeed be resurrected from it, but there is a crucial factor that you need to know."

"Although the rice wife has not locked the country and the rule of the gods is prosperous, but when it comes to the issue of Raiden Qi, their attitude is quite extreme——"

Paimon became more and more confused.

"Is there any problem with this? No matter how extreme you are, can you directly snatch our heart flower?"

"Well... speaking of common sense, it is true. To be honest, I am very worried that the flower of your heart will be taken away as soon as you step into Daozuma's land."

"They know the flower of heart?! And they have the ability to plunder other people's flower of heart!"

Paimon asked a stupid question, his face paled.

"There are many people who have the same thoughts as you... They all hope that Raiden Qi can be resurrected, and your heart flower is undoubtedly a part of the source."

"If you count the weight that Daozuma has collected over the past century, it should be enough to reshape...Of course, it is more likely to fail, but at that time I hope you can face it calmly. Lei Dianqi has fulfilled his duties, and he should Have a good rest."

Zhong Li stopped talking and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Then what was your suggestion about reviving Qi?"

"Following the traces left by her past and following the steps of history, you will meet a very important person."

"Her name is Kamisato Suzuki."

When this name was mentioned, Zhong Li's eyes fell on the jade ring on his finger, showing a little nostalgic smile.

"She made a lifetime contract with Qi. If you get her approval, you must be able to change a certain situation."

"It just needs a little chance. I can give you a token. With it, maybe you can find her again."

He took out a quaint and simple stone amber ring from his bosom, the color on it was bright and shiny even after a hundred years of wear and tear.

PS: Liyue's chapters are basically over. The reason why I got so many codes is because I can't finish it halfway. After all, it is impossible to finish a chapter of the son, a chapter of the lady, and a chapter of Oser.
