Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 381 Fighting Side by Side Again

"The Emperor said that the preparation time is three days. Tomorrow is the deadline. By then we can solve Ruotu's problem." Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun continued. There was no trace of worry in his tone, which was full of trust in Zhongli.

But the good intention of the Ruotu Dragon King was not so optimistic. There was some worry in his eyes. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I heard from Su Xun that Morax seems to have stepped down from the throne. I wonder if he still has enough power to deal with my real body."

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang snorted and said, "Ruotu, you worry too much. The Emperor is a demon god with the title of Martial God. The position of Rock God is just a trivial bonus to him.

Even without the divine position, the Emperor's strength is unquestionable. Even if you are an elemental dragon king, your strength is comparable to that of the Emperor. With your body sealed, it is not difficult for the Emperor to solve your problem."

Ruo Tuo nodded kindly, his expression slightly relieved: "That's true."

It seemed that he recognized Morax's strength more than his own.

There was a glimmer of fluctuation in Su Xun's eyes. It seemed that the image of the Emperor in the eyes of these elders was really incomparably great. Even such a noble and proud elemental creature as the Ruota Dragon King had such trust in the Emperor.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Su Xun remembered his original purpose. He then used his spiritual sense to scan under the Fulong tree.

Su Xun looked at the sealed door that appeared in his spiritual consciousness. There was no tunnel dug around it as he had imagined.

When his spiritual sense swept across the bottom of the valley again, he did not find any tunnel.

"It seems that the miners driven by Ruo Tuo's evil thoughts have not yet dug here." Su Xun thought to himself, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Ruota's evil plan is nothing more than to use the miners to secretly dig a tunnel leading directly to the sealed door, and then work together with the main body to break the seal, but this plan can only be successfully implemented without the knowledge of the immortals and Morax.

But now the immortals and the emperor are ready to reinforce the seal. Without a completed tunnel, Narota's evil plan will naturally fail.

Under the eyes of the immortals and the Rock King, the evil thoughts of Ruota, who only had meager power, could not cause any big waves. Even if he was desperate, he could be suppressed easily.

Su Xun showed a smile in his eyes and felt a little funny.

I'm afraid that Naroda would never have imagined that his plan, which was originally foolproof, would fail because he was too slow in timing.

However, in the plot, Zhongli and the other immortals actually did not know that the seal had loosened. I don't know if it was because of their own reasons that caused the butterfly effect, allowing the immortals and the Emperor to know about this in advance and thus come up with a plan to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Su Xun felt a little relieved.

In any case, it is a blessing that the crisis will soon be resolved.

You know, in the original plot, Yingmei and Zhongli faced the real body of Ruotu Dragon King together. If the original plot had developed, wouldn't his wife be injured? This was something Su Xun, who loved his wife, didn't want to see.

……

At the same time, in a hidden cave somewhere, the evil thoughts of Ruota in the form of a little girl were lurking in the darkness. Her figure was blurry, and only her eyes were flashing with a deep light.

"Why do those immortals stay under the Fulong tree? Have they discovered something?" Ruota frowned with evil thoughts and felt uneasy in his heart.

"No, we can't wait any longer. We must speed up the excavation." Ruota's evil eyes became fierce, and he was ready to urge the miners himself.

However, when she arrived at where the miners were, she found that they had all collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion and the progress was far behind expectations.

"Waste! All waste!" Ruota roared angrily with evil thoughts.

The miners had lifeless eyes and showed no reaction at all. They just lay on the ground and mechanically repeated the digging movements.

Ruota's evil thoughts and anxiety became more and more intense. She knew very well that if the plan failed, she would never be able to turn things around.

"Get up, everyone, and keep digging!" Ruota's evil thoughts unleashed a dark force, forcibly pulling up the exhausted miners.

Driven by this force, the miners continued digging like zombies. Their movements became much faster, but shocking wounds appeared on their bodies and blood continued to seep out.

After releasing this aura, the aura on Ruota's evil mind became a little disordered, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, because she knew in her heart that this was her last chance, and no matter what the cost, she must make the plan succeed.

Time flows slowly, not subject to human will.

the next day.

After chatting under the Fulong tree for a day and a night, everyone waited for Zhongli in the early morning.

Zhongli, dressed in the attire of a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, looks like a noble and handsome young man, yet he exudes a calm aura that is hard to ignore.

"Emperor." All the immortals stood up and saluted.

Zhongli nodded slightly, his eyes swept across everyone, pausing slightly on Su Xun, and finally falling on Kunjun who was possessed by Ruota's good thoughts.

"Who is this?" There was a hint of doubt in Zhongli's calm eyes.

"Morax, long time no see." Ruota Shannian looked at Zhongli with a complicated expression.

"Hmm?" Zhongli was slightly startled, and then feeling the familiar breath of the strange young man in front of him, his eyes suddenly focused.

"You are... Ruoda?"

……

After a while, after listening to everyone's explanation, Zhongli understood the whole story.

After a moment of silence, Zhongli sighed softly, then looked at Ruotu Shannian with a smile on his face: "It seems that Ruotu, you still remember our contract."

"Everything he forgot is stored in my heart. If he is the memory of the earth, I am the memory that coexists with humans. I have never forgotten the contract with you and the contract with Liyue!" Kunjun said solemnly.

Zhongli nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a look of relief: "Although wear and tear can take away many things, some things will always exist and will not be erased. Ruotu, welcome back!"

"Come back..." Kunjun smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I can't hold on to this broken body of mine for much longer. Before I disappear, I'm happy to see you again and stand shoulder to shoulder with you again."

Zhongli was silent. He naturally knew the dilemma that Ruotu Shannian was facing.

In this world of Teyvat, all immortal species cannot escape the erosion of time. Even the elemental dragon kings cannot escape the wear and tear imposed by the laws of nature.

His current posture is just a way of lingering on.

"Then let us fight side by side once again at this moment, even though you are facing yourself." Zhongli said slowly, his voice calm and powerful.

Ruo Tuo nodded kindly, his eyes showing determination: "Let's start!"
