Chapter 466: The Immortals Rise, the Emperor Dies
The early morning sun enveloped the streets of Liyue Harbor. At this moment, the streets were bustling with people coming and going, and the bustle was more than ten times that of a usual afternoon.
People from all countries are looking forward to one thing today, that is Liyue’s annual ceremony of inviting the immortals, the special day when the Geo King appears.
During last year's Immortal Summoning Ceremony, a ten-thousand-meter-long rock dragon appeared, shocking people from all over the world. However, the photographic records had long been controlled by the Seven Stars, and only a few were passed on to the other six countries.
But even if the number is small, people who see it will marvel at the power of the gods. Even the water god, one of the masters of the photos, was amazed and commented when he saw it for the first time.
"As expected of a god from the Rock Kingdom, his presence is only slightly inferior to mine, but I still have to say, he's very handsome."
As a result of this statement, this year's ceremony of inviting the immortals was much more lively than in previous years, and it also brought about many changes.
At this moment, the major medical clinics in Liyue Harbor and the patrolling Thousand Rock Army are working together. The former ensures timely treatment when hidden dangers arise, while the latter resolves hidden dangers before they occur.
People were coming and going on the street. Ye Li, who was woken up early one morning, looked sleepily at Hu Tao, who was holding a candied haws in his hand and running around with Charlotte, feeling helpless.
"It looks like you stayed up all night again last night."
"I'm just preparing things. I've been a little more serious and used a little time to cover the area I created. It shouldn't affect Teyvat and the World Tree."
"It's not that bad, but what on earth could make you, who usually likes to slack off, take it seriously? I don't think there's anything here that could threaten you."
Facing Buyer who was standing beside him, smiling and tilting his head to ask through voice transmission, Ye Li explained through voice transmission:
"As the saying goes, it's necessary to plan ahead and take precautions. Yesterday was the time when the goods arrived, so I thought it would be okay to prepare in advance, so I stayed up all night."
"If I'm not mistaken, the time ratio covered by that area is enough for you to live for half a year in one night."
"Almost. I haven't slept a wink since I entered. I've only slept for an hour when the hall master woke me up."
Ye Li transmitted the message, and his originally tired face became energetic and his condition was completely recovered.
Hearing the sound of snapping fingers, Ye Li looked at Buyer who had retracted his hand. The other party just closed one eye and smiled:
"It's just a small refreshing spell. Don't forget that we co-created the world. I am only slightly inferior to you in terms of strength and ability. Moreover, your new path has too many tricks. I have only learned the basics so far."
"But you are very skilled at it. I haven't slept for half a year. I can't sleep at all after you come here."
"After all, today is a very important day. If you tilt your head and look sleepy in a formal occasion, it will attract people's attention. You should pay attention to your image."
Faced with Buyer's clear and logical explanation, Ye Li didn't say much. He just nodded at the key points to show that he listened carefully and did not ignore it.
Arriving at the place where they had agreed to meet with Xingqiu and others yesterday, Hu Tao ran to Qi Qi first. Charlotte also saw that Hu Tao looked like a weird uncle who wanted to kidnap Qi Qi.
However, due to yesterday's experience, Charlotte was clear about the relationship between the two of them, so she didn't take any photos as evidence of kidnapping. Besides, a certain big lawyer was there, and such blatant and outrageous behavior was illegal.
"Miss Charlotte, the Fontaine Court Records you recommended contain a lot of valuable information. To express my gratitude, I will give you this History of the Development of the Liyue Code as a reference. It is the only one of its kind and is very valuable."
As a guest from Fontaineland, a country of justice, Charlotte has observed hundreds of opera court proceedings and has unique insights into the legal aspect. Naturally, Yan Fei would not miss the opportunity to make friends with her.
Well, after yesterday's communication, both parties gained a lot in the legal field, which led to today's scene.
Looking at the slightly old but well-preserved ancient book in front of her, Charlotte solemnly reached out to take it and carefully put it into the special space of the Eye of God. After taking it back, she could give it to the Lord God of Water and have another opportunity to interview him.
Seeing Charlotte accepting her return gift, Yan Fei nodded with satisfaction, expressing her appreciation for this friend who had special insights into law.
Not far away, on the other side, Yaoyao helped Qiqi get rid of Hutao's entanglement. Xiangling pulled Hutao, who was smiling, with a helpless look on her face and said:
"Okay, Hu Tao, stop teasing Qi Qi. Can't you see that the little guy is already crouching with his head in his hands?"
"Hehehe, I was just joking. Qiqi's determination to survive is stronger than anyone else's."
Hu Tao, who already knew Qiqi's past, would not act recklessly as he did before. As for who said this news, there was no need to ask. It was naturally Ye Li, who had a medical relationship with Bai Zhu.
As for how to confirm the authenticity, when she was about to kidnap Qiqi for fun one day, she was stopped by a large white and green bird that spoke human language, and the bird claimed to be an immortal with three eyes and five manifestations.
Although the information Ye Li mentioned was found in an ancient book and was brought to her to read, if there was an immortal present, she would naturally ask Ye Li about what was recorded in the ancient book.
After confirmation by the immortal, Hu Tao released Qi Qi. At the same time, Big Bird also gave her a talisman, saying that it was used to suppress the runaway Qi Qi. Bai Zhu also had one, commonly known as double insurance.
Hu Tao was in a complicated mood. Ye Li was on a business trip to Inazuma at that time, but with the help of Zhongli, she recovered quickly.
A complex look flashed in the red peach eyes for a moment. Hu Tao was pulled away by Xiang Ling, and Yao Yao also pulled Qi Qi to follow. After talking for a while, everyone went in the same direction.
On the way, Xingqiu was chatting with Yunjin about the chivalry in the play, Chongyun and Jiaming were bored and discussing the matters of evil demons and the escort agency, and Xinyan was carrying a homemade guitar and discussing with Charlotte how to compose the music for the play.
Xiangling pulled Hutao to discuss slime cooking. Yanfei walked behind the two little ones to prevent them from getting lost. Everyone seemed to be talking about their own things, but they were inseparable.
Ye Li was quite moved when watching this scene. His arrival did change the development here after all, but this small change was harmless and would not affect an old father who was about to retire at all.
Everyone walked up the long stairs and arrived at Yujing Terrace in a few minutes. However, because there were too many people, everyone was still a little dispersed.
Looking at the people waving at him from all directions, Ye Li also waved back, then looked at the people around him and said:
"Let's watch the show. I believe this is definitely the most exciting summoning of immortals you have ever seen."
"Mr. Zhongli Keqing and Mr. Yeyan are very well prepared. What surprises will they bring? I am looking forward to it!"
Hu Tao clenched his hands excitedly, his excitement was evident in his words. After all, it was they who made this happen, so it would be strange if he wasn't excited.
Charlotte was also a little nervous after hearing this. After all, this was the annual ceremony to invite the immortals, and being able to see the true body of the Rock God would be somewhat explosive news material.
Time passed slowly, and noon arrived. Golden gems flickered around Ningguang. Zhongli and Yeyan clasped their hands together and opened them. A golden formation rose up under their feet, echoing the rotating gems.
"The time has come. Listen to my command and call in the immortals!"
At this moment, countless people surrounding the center of Yujingtai heard Ningguang's words, and they all focused their attention on watching the formation carrying the gems into the sky. The dark clouds in the sky also flashed with thunder in an instant.
Amid the shock, amazement and astonishment of the crowd, the dark clouds flashed with golden light, the thunder became smaller and smaller, and a five-clawed rock dragon, one hundred meters long and a hundred times smaller than last year, appeared.
But before everyone could have the next wave of emotions, red lightning carrying destructive power fell and directly hit the figure that appeared.
And the next second, a feeling of fear enveloped everyone's heart, including the only two half-immortals in the whole venue, and Grandma Ping and her group who came to join in the fun.
It was irresistible, as if justice had come from heaven, the thunder dispersed as if to destroy everything around it.
At this moment, under the gazes of everyone, before the Rock Emperor fell to the ground, his body was constantly flashing with golden light, and a divine thought spread in all directions, gathering all the violently scattered thunder in the sky onto himself, resisting the spread of the horrible thunder, and protecting his people for the last time.
The rock dragon fell, the incense burner fell to the ground, and the delicacies were scattered all over the ground.
The dark clouds dissipated, the terrifying crisis disappeared, and everyone stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
