"I need some people to activate my special abilities, and then I can take you to other worlds. You must understand what I mean. Knowledge and power should not be considered forbidden, right? Even if it's forbidden, I doubt anyone today would care about that. In other worlds, you might even find a solution to your wear and tear problems. Zhongli, you don't want to see your old friend suffer, right?" Eren said meaningfully, pointing to the sky.
"You mean moving Liyue to another world?" Zhongli asked, feeling a bit moved. He knew how dangerous Teyvat was and had been looking for a way to solve Liyue's current problems. Leaving Teyvat seemed like a possibility.
Eren shook his head slightly. "Liyue has a large population; it's not easy to move everyone. But we could bring the power of other worlds to Teyvat. In the future, when I am stronger, I might be able to move all of Liyue to a safe place."
Zhongli thought for a long time, holding his teacup, before smiling. "I accept your offer. I'm curious about other worlds."
Seeing this, Eren smiled back. With Morax's help, things would be much easier. He extended his hand and said, "The contract is done. Those who break their word will be punished by the rock-eating."
Zhongli was surprised for a moment—wasn't that what he'd said? Still, he took Eren's hand and smiled, "Even if the sky falls, the contract must be kept!"
Then Zhongli asked curiously, "Do you really have so many questions about Liyue?"
Eren nodded. "There are many problems. If you keep adjusting the situation and fixing Liyue, it might be sustainable for now. But once you disappear, Liyue will face trouble in less than 200 years."
Zhongli frowned as Eren spoke. He had noticed the warning signs, but he hadn't figured out how to fix it. After hearing Eren's reasoning, Zhongli sighed. He knew that what Eren said made sense. It seems that he couldn't retire just yet.
"What should we do next?" Zhongli asked, now resigned to his duty.
"I need three more people..." Eren's mind flashed with names, and he said softly.
When Zhongli heard the names, his mouth twitched slightly. "From what you wrote, I thought you would hate them, but I didn't expect you to choose them."
"After all, they are some of the most important figures in Liyue now. Putting aside some issues, the current Tianquan Xing and Yuheng Xing are two of the most capable people in Liyue," Eren explained.
In the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang of Tianquan Xing was rarely seen sitting in her own seat. Today, she sat next to Keqing of Yuheng Xing. Ganyu, the secretary of the Seven Stars, yawned drowsily. She looked exhausted.
"Ganyu, Ningguang, do you know why the Emperor wants to speak with us?" Keqing asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.
Keqing was excited to meet the Geo Archon, though she hid it well.
"I don't know. The Emperor didn't say." Ningguang's eyes flickered. She, too, was curious about why Zhongli had requested a private meeting. Even the Seven Stars rarely saw the Geo Archon.
Looking at Ganyu, it seemed like she had no idea either. Zhongli had specifically requested to meet with just the three of them, excluding the other Seven Stars. Was there a deeper reason for this?
"It seems you all arrived early." Suddenly, a man wearing a special hood appeared in the main seat, making it impossible to see his face. His calm voice made the three women react instantly, standing and saluting. "Greetings, Emperor."
It was clear that Zhongli's presence commanded respect. If he hadn't spoken, the three wouldn't have noticed his arrival.
They focused their attention on the man behind Zhongli, especially Ningguang, who had been paying attention to Eren. The man's clothes were clearly out of place in Teyvat. He seemed to be someone from another world.
Ever since this young man had appeared, he had been following Zhongli. He was even allowed to have Zhongli pay for him. Now, to their surprise, the man was with the Geo Archon.
Thinking about it, Ningguang had a chilling thought.
Zhongli sighed, looking at the three women. "I've called you here for something that could change the fate of Liyue. Even I cannot guarantee whether this will be good or bad for Liyue."
He glanced at Ningguang, who had been sharp enough to notice his presence, and silently admitted to himself that his true identity might soon be revealed to them.
