Genshin Impact: While strolling around Teyvat, I was driven mad by a player.

Page 154

Indeed, the power of the Dragon King Ruotu is on par with that of the Emperor; how could it possibly have been created by the Emperor?

[So what the storyteller said might not be true?]

What the storyteller says may not be true, but what the Emperor says is probably true.

[As Ruo Tuo stated earlier, his blindness was innate, so it's impossible that he was created by the Emperor.]

Didn't you hear the Emperor mention the ancient rock elemental creatures living underground? This means that Ruo Tuo wasn't sculpted by the Emperor.

[Narrated from two perspectives: one from Tian Tiezui, and the other from the Emperor; what the Emperor says is true.]

[In other words, the Dragon King Ruoduo wasn't sculpted by the Emperor, but his eyes were given to him by the Emperor (thumbs up)]

This blend of reality and illusion is absolutely brilliant!

At this moment, another piece of background music started playing.

This background music is from Liyue Qingyunding, but it features a variation on the erhu.

[Triple kill with background music]

Zhongli and Qiu Nian arrived at the stone tablet.

Ying and Paimeng then came up behind Qiu Nian and Zhong Li.

“A thousand years ago, Ruo Tu attacked the Abyss of Layered Rocks. I personally stopped him and fought him all the way from the abyss to here. Finally, I knocked him down and sealed him underground.”

Zhongli looked at the stone tablet in front of him and began to speak.

"The Dragon-Suppressing Stone was born from that great battle."

"Ruo Tuo has an instinctive sense of the Dragon-Suppressing Stone and subconsciously wants to use this item to find me."

At this point, Zhongli turned around and looked at Ying and Paimon.

"In the end, although I defeated him, it was not because he was inferior to me."

“He still harbors feelings for me, for Liyue, and for all life on Earth.”

"He was sealed away voluntarily, but unfortunately, he has been forgotten due to wear and tear."

Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest and continued speaking to Ying and Paimon.

"The erosive force exerted by the laws of nature is terrifying..."

Have you also been worn down?

Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her and asked with a complicated expression.

"I too cannot escape the wear and tear of my own body."

"But I understand one principle better than most people: when it's time to leave, you should leave."

"The greater the power, the greater the danger it poses once it is worn down."

"Even rocks can get tired after thousands of years of erosion."

Zhongli lowered his hands and explained to Yingmei.

[Yingmei asked that the wear and tear imposed by the laws of nature is too terrible, while the Emperor said that one cannot escape the wear and tear of one's own body. Isn't that a non-answer to the question? (Facepalm)]

The wear and tear of natural laws may be resisted, but the wear and tear of one's own body is difficult to avoid as long as one lives.

Just like what Qiu Nian said to Ying, unless you originally had no memories or emotions, but that's impossible.

[But the wear and tear imposed by the laws of nature is something that cannot be resisted or defied; these are Qiu Nian's exact words.]

Wendy spends most of her time sleeping; is that also a way of combating wear and tear?

Chapter 135 Ying's Problem

"So that's why you decided to leave..."

"He has relinquished his position as the Geo Archon."

Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her with her beautiful eyes and waved her hand as she spoke.

"The greater the power, the greater the danger it poses after it is worn down."

"Like the Naga King Nagatana?"

Paimon looked at Qiu Nian and Zhong Li in front of him, spread his little hands, and asked with a complicated expression.

"Wearing away wear and tear is a sign of changing one's original intention and going against one's original purpose."

"That would certainly be something I wouldn't accept in my original self."

"Therefore, the more powerful one is, the more dangerous one becomes to everything that originally stood by them."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian looked at Paimon in front of him and explained.

"Sealling an old friend with my own hands is one of the wear and tear I have experienced."

"In order to find the right path, people constantly give up and lose."

"Perhaps, this is the wear and tear that the principles of nature have inflicted upon me."

"But I am a god among men, and no matter how my identity changes, I will use these eyes to witness the history of mankind."

Zhongli looked up at the sky, but the sun had already set.

Even though I'm retired, I'm still just doing my job.

[To think that all of this is something one should do as a matter of course—isn't that befitting an emperor?]

"You still care about Liyue."

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and said with a smile.

"nothing."

"It's your job."

"Thank you all this time."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and expressed his gratitude.

"Come to think of it, we don't seem to have done anything, have we?"

"But since you've already thanked me, I'll say you're welcome."

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and scratched his head awkwardly.

Ying felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

But suddenly, she remembered something.

"Wait for Zhongli."

"I'd like to ask you about something."

Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her and spoke.

"And the 20th of autumn."

After saying this to Zhongli, Ying also looked at Qiu Nian who was standing to the side.

"I'm involved too."

Qiu Nian rested her chin on her hand upon hearing this, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"what's up?"

Zhongli looked at Ying in front of him and asked.

"Yeah, I almost forgot."

"That's right, not long ago we met a guy named Dain."

"He told us about the disappearance of Kanria and the divine punishment..."

"It was only then that we learned that these things were related to the person we were looking for."

Paimon suddenly realized something when he heard Ying's words.

"It concerns my family."

“All of this is very important to me.”

Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her, placed one hand flat on her chest, and said with a very expectant expression.

“Zhongli, you are a genuine god who has lived for thousands of years.”

"You must have experienced that event firsthand."

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and spoke.

"..."

"I can't say."

Zhongli remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed and spoke to Ying and Paimon.

"Why?!"

Paimon looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Why can't I say it?!

[The plan was not allowed]

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ying's expression turned somewhat disappointed, which looked very cute.

Why can't this information be disclosed?

"This is really important to us!"

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked, puzzled.

"I understand, but I'm sorry, this is my contract."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli explained to Paimon.

"Could it be that you have the same difficulties you had with the Dragon King Ratna in the past and present?"
