The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"No... Grandpa didn't have any regrets, so why did he do this?"

Hu Tao shook her head, dismissing the thought in her mind. Since he had already left without any regrets, why should she be obsessed with finding him again? That would only be a selfish act.

Zhongli, however, had a deep look in his eyes. He was thinking of many things: the Yaksha who died in the war between the demons, his friends... and...

The successor I had my eye on has really turned out to be quite unexpected.

Feeling the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Zhongli gave a bitter smile. He had thought that after thousands of years, he would be calm and composed no matter what he encountered, but since meeting Baizhi, he had been increasingly surprised.

"So be it. If all that's left is the deepest pain, and no new emotions emerge, I'll eventually turn into a madman like Ruoda..."

"So, Morax, what do you want to do?"

"Oh dear, Shadow, let's just make the same way we made the General's body. Inazuma, you still have the necessary materials, right?"

Yae Shenzi smiled and reminded.

"To create the general's body... Divine Child, you've given me a good idea. The serpent's body is also a suitable material."

Ying certainly knew what Yae no Miko was referring to. The general's body was made from her original body as the core. If Bai Zhi could really revive Raiden Shin and ensure its strength, then ordinary materials could not be used. Instead, the best choice would be the remains of a demon god as the base.

And in Inazuma, the largest remnant of the demon god is that of the giant serpent Orobas.

Xin Hai: ......

What should I say in this situation? The general wants to use the body of the god he worships as material, and I must have just heard something incredible—the general's body was actually manufactured.

Good heavens, can gods really be created?

Xin Hai felt overwhelmed by the information. She wanted to stand up and say something for her god, but reason told her that when faced with the possibility of resurrecting her loved ones, let alone a mere living goddess from Haiqi Island, she would rush forward and kill even the resurrected serpent Orobas without hesitation.

Having served as a strategist for so long, although she learned most of her knowledge from light novels, she also has a wealth of practical experience and understands the importance of assessing situations and making informed decisions.

Poor Xin Hai could only keep his mouth shut, looking utterly helpless.

"call...."

Kage let out a long sigh of relief. "Then let's go now. We'll go to Hachiyū Island to collect materials from the giant serpent's body. By the way, have Inazuma and his men hand over all the remaining materials as soon as possible!"

"If this can truly bring Zhen back to life... Morax, after it's done, I can grant you any request. My life is dedicated to you!"

Ying looked at Bai Zhi and said seriously.

"There's no need to go to such lengths. Just help me with the construction of Liyue."

Bai Zhi blinked. Actually, she really wanted to say, "Is it really any request? Does it include any other interesting things?"

However, after thinking about it, Bai Zhi still didn't say it. Although she guessed that even if she did say it, Ying would most likely just seriously agree.

She's not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of kindness.

"I have a feeling that the Emperor is thinking about something not so good."

Hu Tao rubbed her chin, looking at Bai Zhi with suspicion, but then shook her head. How could such a great person as the Emperor have any strange thoughts?

Humans and gods are two different species, so they must behave differently.

Yes, that must be it. The Emperor's behavior must have a deeper meaning!

I must be overthinking it.

"And you don't need to call me Morax, just call me Baizhi."

"Angelica dahurica? Hmm... alright."

Although she didn't quite understand why the name of the medicine would be used as her name, Ying readily agreed.

165 Lady: The Rock God is nothing special.

"If you need to create a powerful doll, the materials used determine its upper limit. The great serpent of Hachiyū Island... I once promised it that I would allow the people of Umijima Island to become the people of Inazuma, and then I killed it here. For so many years, I have never come here again."

"I never imagined that, years later, I would come here because I needed its remains."

On Ba Yun Island, Ying stood atop the massive remains of a snake's head and uttered a remark with a sigh.

"I will not take its remains for nothing. The shogunate will do its best to help the people of Haiji Island in the future. However, who exactly are those people, and how did they collect crystallized bone marrow here?"

Ying glanced at the people diligently collecting materials near the giant snake's body and frowned.

These people don't look like they're from Inazuma; their style is more like that of Shifu.

"Those people should be the Fools. As for what they want to do with the crystallized bone marrow, I have no idea."

Bai Zhi also glanced into the distance at those guys who were mining. She was all too familiar with them. Those guys had caused her a lot of pain in the early days of the game, such as Thunder Hammer Bro and Ice Fatty.

"Hmph, these outsiders..."

Ying snorted coldly, but did not say anything more, because she was now eager to create a puppet of sufficient strength, rather than worrying about these trivial matters.

So she stretched out her hand, and lightning elements gathered in her palm, forming a field of lightning. The remains of the giant serpent began to glow, and crystallized marrow continuously precipitated from it.

However, just because Shadow doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean the Fools won't notice. Shadow's blatant mining activities have already caught the attention of the Fools.

"Reporting, sir, there are people over there digging up large quantities of crystallized bone marrow. Should we stop them? Their mining methods seem rather dangerous."

The burly Wind Fist pointed to the extremely obvious field of lightning and whispered to the hooded debt collector.

The debt collector had obviously noticed what was happening over there, and he took out a pair of binoculars and looked in that direction.

"That's... General Raiden. And the other person... could it be the Rock King Emperor who's been making headlines lately, visiting Inazuma?"

Upon seeing the two figures standing on the snake's head, along with the powerful lightning field, the debt collector was slightly startled, then began to connect it with some impressions in his mind.

After all, there are many statues of the Thunder General in Inazuma, and he is very familiar with them.

And the fact that someone could stand with General Thunder and possess so many distinctive features, combined with the latest intelligence, makes their identity quite obvious.

"Huh? General Thunder and Emperor Rock..." Hearing the debt collector say this, Feng Quan was a little surprised. He was immediately glad that he hadn't rushed up rashly. Otherwise, with his small body, he probably wouldn't have lasted a single move in front of the gods.

"Yes, it's two gods. They are collecting crystallized bone marrow... At this rate, it probably won't be long before the giant serpent runs out of crystallized bone marrow."

Upon seeing the continuous precipitation of crystallized bone marrow, the debt collector's expression turned somewhat grave.

The remains of the Great Serpent Demon God absorb elemental power, thereby continuously generating crystallized bone marrow. Under normal circumstances, the collection rate is in line with the generation rate, but the Thunder General forcibly activates it with elemental power, which is like overdrafting. It is likely that the remains of the Great Serpent will not produce crystallized bone marrow for many years to come.

"Oh dear, what should we do? This stuff is one of the main materials for producing the Evil Eye. If this god collects it all, the lady will definitely be very angry."

Feng Quan's face immediately filled with worry. He knew the lady's personality very well. If she failed to complete the mission, she might not die, but she wouldn't fare much better.

The thought of the lady's terrible methods of punishment sent chills down Feng Quan's spine.

However, compared to the punishment of women, the gods are more terrifying. After all, they are all fools, and women can often hold back, but it is hard to say what will happen when facing the gods.

The debt collector lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"Let's not concern ourselves with this matter. We'll just report it to Lady. Besides, there's still Lord Sanbing. Both of the executives are in Inazuma. Perhaps they have their own solutions. We can't just charge in to our deaths when facing the gods. That would be a crime against us."

"The Evil Eye Factory has run out of raw materials, and the lady is even more anxious than we are."

"Oh, you're so clever. Just say it to the lady like this."

Feng Quan immediately gave the debt collector a thumbs up.

A moment later, inside the secluded factory.

"Snapped!"

A teacup shattered, spilling its fragrant tea all over the floor, which then turned to ice.

"What did you say? The crystallized bone marrow was all harvested by General Thunder and the God of Rock?!"

The woman's tone was icy cold, "Do you know how important crystallized bone marrow is? Countless fools in Winter need it to enhance their power."

The debt collector lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, we certainly know that, but you also know that we are merely soldiers with some strength. We can defeat those who possess the Eye of God, but we are somewhat powerless against great demons and other dangerous monsters, let alone gods."

"..."

The woman took a deep breath, knocked over the teapot on the table, but did not say anything more to the debt collector.

These people are just soldiers with some strength, unlike myself, who possesses great power. Expecting them to fight against the gods is impossible.

"Alright, you can all leave now. I'll find some places for you to dig later. As for the fact that the mine was taken, I'll settle the score with them properly!"

The debt collector looked up in surprise at the haughty woman.

"Madam, are you perhaps preparing to seduce the gods...?"

That's a god, just like our Queen, one of the seven rulers of the mortal realm. How dare this person do that?

Isn't this a bit too arrogant?

"Hmph, General Thunder is nothing but a brainless idiot with all his strength. He believes whatever we say and will cower at the slightest intimidation. As for the God of Rock, he's nothing but an amnesiac."

"Does a god who has lost his memory still know how to use his power to its fullest extent?"

"There are differences even among gods. Just like the intelligence I received many years ago said, even the Little Auspicious Grass King of Sumeru was imprisoned by a great sage who was just an ordinary person. If an ordinary person can do that, how much more so someone like me?"

The debt collector wanted to say something more, but the woman waved her hand, clearly already impatient.

"Well... I'll take my leave." The debt collector swallowed the words "even a starved camel is bigger than a horse," then bowed helplessly and left.

Lady 166's Conspiracy

After the debt collectors left, the woman immediately summoned the person in charge of the investigation.

"Tell me in detail what has happened in the shogunate recently."

The woman's tone was condescending, but fortunately, the person in charge was already used to her manner and answered very skillfully:

"Madam, recently, the General issued an order for us to collect many rare materials. Currently, the Tenryo Magistrate is transporting those materials to the Tenshukaku."

"Hmm... the rare materials being transported to the castle tower? Besides these rare materials, is there any information about the Rock God?"

The woman stroked her chin. Although she really wanted to intercept the batch of materials, she knew that facing two gods at once would be somewhat difficult, even though she was very confident. So she decided to target the rock god who looked weaker first.

“Of course,” the magistrate immediately replied. “That Rock God has been frequently visiting Inazuma with his staff lately to inspect various things, and he’s also been buying a lot of light novels….”

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up. "Could you guide this Geo Archon to a remote place?"

"what?"

The officer in charge of the investigation looked at the woman in surprise. "What do you want to do? That is the chief deity of Liyue. If anything goes wrong, not only will we, the officer in charge of the investigation, be in trouble, but the three commissioners will also be in trouble. If the general gets angry, we will all be finished."

The woman waved her hand. "What are you thinking? How could I be the kind of person who overestimates myself and challenges the gods?"

"I just want to say that I have some things I want to discuss with this Rock God in person, but it would be too noisy in the city, so I hope that you, the Survey Envoy, can help me guide this Emperor to a secluded place."

"Really?" The person in charge of the investigation was somewhat doubtful, mainly because this lady was usually too arrogant.

So when he heard that she wanted to lur the Rock God to a secluded place, his first thought was that she was disrespectful to the gods.

Regardless of whether this person can win or not, and regardless of the outcome, if a deity is truly treated disrespectfully, then they will not be happy.

They determined that their cooperation with the foolish masses was for personal gain, not for suicide.

“Really, I am the executor of the Fools, and I never lie. Just tell me, do you have any way to enforce this?”

The woman's tone was as assertive as ever. She knew these guys liked to play games, so she had to use strong pressure to force them to make a decision quickly.

"Well... Madam, I can't guarantee anything, I can only say I'll do my best to help you. But I hope that when you talk to the Rock God, you will remain calm and respectful, otherwise it will be really difficult for us."

The person in charge of the investigation hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Although this matter is very risky, after cooperating with the Fools for so long and reaping so many benefits, it's not unreasonable to take another risk.

"Alright, I'll wait for your good news."

The woman's lips curled up slightly.

I heard that D'Artagnan still hasn't completed his mission. He's so stupid.

It wouldn't hurt to entrust the task of collecting the heart of the Rock God to her.

Since she's already won one heart from the Wind God, it would be easy for her to use the same trick to get another one.

"The production speed of this doll is too slow. It's been more than a week, and the shadow is still not finished?"

Inside the new shop of the Rebirth Hall in Inazuma City, Bai Zhi swallowed a tricolor dumpling in one gulp and spoke somewhat indistinctly.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to rush. These are puppets meant for the gods..."

Zhongli sighed softly, "Your Majesty, can you really do this? This is about resurrecting a demon god. If you can't do it, the general will definitely be very angry, and he might even chase you all the way from Inazuma to Liyue."
