Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me

When had he ever shied away from Su Chen?

Forget it, it's just a game of chess. Judging from how absent-minded this old friend was just now, I'm afraid his mind is not on the chess game.

"Won?" Heulia walked over with a smile on her face, "Xuanyuan, you are the first person in Liyue Port to beat Zhongli in chess."

"Oh?" Su Chen touched his chin, "It seems that my chess skills have reached their peak."

"That's right. Those old human beings at the Storytelling Pavilion like to play chess with Zhongli the most. They are all good at chess, but none of them can beat Zhongli." As she spoke, Heulia put down the biscuit and said, "Come and try it. Try what I’ve learned.”

Su Chen said: "It wasn't made with Liuyun's machine, was it?"

"How could it be? She had taken the machine back a long time ago, saying she wanted to improve it, but she didn't take it out for a long time. The last time Gan Yu went back, she saw that she had put the things in the corner of the cave, and they were covered with dust. "

"Haha~ That thing should have been thrown away long ago."

"Don't say that." Heulia pursed her lips and chuckled, "Liu Yun even showed off for a long time. She liked it very much."

Zhongli picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said warmly: "A human delicacy is exquisite and profound. No matter how good the mechanism is, it will never be able to taste like that without the emotional accumulation of the craftsman."

Su Chen smiled: "When Liuyun comes, tell her in front of her that she will fight with you for three days and three nights."

Zhongli: "..."

With Liuyun's unwillingness to admit defeat, it was really possible to do this. Forget it, let it take its course and let her forget about it, and no one would mention it.

At this time, Heulia asked curiously: "Xuanyuan, why did you come back suddenly this time?"

"Ah, this...oh, yes, yes." Su Chen took out the dropped item from the Star-Eating Whale, "I'm going to find Shi Weng and help me make a weapon out of this item."

"Oh?" Zhongli pondered slightly, "Star-Eating Whale?"

"you know?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Tell me more about it."

To be honest, Su Chen didn't know much about this stuff.

"This is a creature that travels through the universe. It relies on the energy of the planet's fetal sea to grow. Its existence is a threat to life itself, and it is also a kind of sadness."

The nature of the star-devouring whale determines its fate. If it does not grow stronger through devouring, it will die while being devoured.

Zhongli did know a little bit about it this time, but he had noticed the arrival of the Star-Eating Whale, but the thing finally fell into the abyss, and then there seemed to be no movement. If there was a recent movement, then it must be Because of something, I fell into a deep sleep.

Su Chen guessed that this thing might have something to do with the young master. According to the servant, the latter came to Fontaine because he felt the power rioting in his body. At first, he thought it was the muscular idiot who couldn't bear the loneliness. Now that he thought about the awakening of the Star-Swallowing Whale, he might have something to do with the young master. related.

After all, the zodiac sign of the young master is also the whale.

However, Su Chen didn't pay too much attention to the Star-Eating Whale. The characteristics of this thing meant that there wouldn't be too many of them, and even if they did, they would have to be killed by forces outside the world of Teyvat.

"The Extremely Evil Rider Surturoch..." Zhongli pondered slightly, "I have only heard of his name. He is a person who walks on the edge of the world and pursues the ultimate power. If it were him, it would not be enough to keep the Star-Eating Whale in captivity. Surprised.”

"You should also pay attention." Su Chen said.

Zhongli nodded slightly. Teyvat has not been peaceful recently. Various major events have happened one after another, including the recent sign of the awakening of heavenly principles, which has also made some gods, including him, worried.

As far as Zhongli is concerned, the Ice Queen's plan is no longer reliable. The God's Heart has not been gathered together until now. Moreover, there has been no movement in the Winter Kingdom for some reason recently. As for the Winter Queen, she is passive and slow in work. The gods did not understand his behavior.

However, they found that this time seemed to be stuck in the solstice and there was an extra consul, and this consul was very mysterious. They didn't get any news, they only knew that the queen would not come to court early from now on.

Wendy mentioned it when she came to him for a drink a few days ago, saying, 'The Queen can't fall in love, can she? ’, Zhongli thought it should be impossible, but the problem must be related to the consul.

For this reason, some of the gods who originally supported the Queen's rebellion against Heavenly Law have now become ambiguous in their attitude. Coupled with the signs of Heavenly Law's resurgence appearing, Zhongli has been a little worried recently.

Why?

Isn’t this because the heart of God has been given away?

The uprising had already taken its share, but the main force suddenly became silent.

After thinking about this, Zhongli sighed.

Su Chen was stunned: "What's wrong?"

He almost never saw Zhongli sighing.

"Some time ago, you could feel..." Zhongli did not continue, but just looked up at the sky.

It means that the one in heaven is awake.

"ah?"

"have it."

Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's not a big problem. We are all people who keep our peace. If something happens in Teyvat, it won't affect us."

"I hope so."

Zhong Li stared at the teacup and suddenly raised his gaze to look at Su Chen, "Were you in Fontaine a few days ago?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"...nothing."

"I don't even understand what you are talking about." Heulia sat aside and smiled: "Don't think too much, all orders have their own rules to maintain, we and other gods protect all people and exist according to our hearts. ...I recently learned a word commonly used by humans, which is "having a clear conscience." Zhongli, you have done enough at this point."

"Speaking of which, the Lantern Festival is coming in a few days. Xuanyuan, are you going to stay for the festival this time? I didn't come back for the last Moon Festival, and Fanan was angry for a long time."

During the last Moon Festival, the immortals used various magical powers, and Fanan specially invented a Human Emperor Pastry. Su Chen said that he would try his best to come back, but he was gone on that day.

Su Chen shook his head helplessly. He was too busy. What can he do?

"I should be free this time."

Heulia said: "You must make sure, don't let everyone be ready and you are not there."

"I'm here, I'm here."

Su Chen thought about it. At this time, the fire in Fontaine might have been burned. He couldn't go back there for the time being. There were still a few days before the Lantern Festival, so it shouldn't be a big problem-after all, he had already left a backup.

Specially let Yingmei stay in Fontaine for a few more days. With her protagonist attributes, she will definitely cause trouble at that time. In this way, Fukalos will have to deal with it, and it will take enough time to involve a wave of people.

As for the Great Compassion Tree King, if she can't see him, she will naturally go back. A smart woman will not embarrass a man outside.

When everything is over, I will bring her a new weapon as a thank you gift when I see Ying again.

Wang Mei!

It's about the simulation. Su Chen is a little unsure now.

Considering the situation that the simulation affects the reality, once the simulation of the Heavenly Principle is started, the situation of the entire Teyvat continent may change greatly.

Because the Heavenly Principle is an identity that exists to this day, rather than being synchronized to reality after the experience like the Human Emperor or Cardotia.

So this leads to a problem.

Once the Heavenly Principle starts the simulation, anything he does during the simulation will greatly change the future, and it can even be said to be all-round coverage-because he doesn't know how the Heavenly Principle did it before, so this process will inevitably have different situations.

Even if there is a slight mistake and the Demon God War is not done, what will the future be like?

Will the Seven Kingdoms still exist?

Will those people he is familiar with still be there?

When thinking of this possibility, Su Chen's heart is under great pressure.

To put it bluntly, he dare not gamble.

Su Chen thought that if he could find an answer to learn from and know the evolution of Teyvat's history, it would be much easier.

This is another reason why he came to find Old Zhong.

Because Zhongli has lived for more than 6,000 years. Although there is still a long time before the history of Teyvat, he is definitely knowledgeable, and the rumors he has heard for more than 6,000 years are more ancient memories, which may inspire his simulation.

Unfortunately, what Su Chen can hear from Zhongli is either too vague or what he already knows.

"Do you want to try in the sky?"

Su Chen raised his head and looked into the distant void. If there is any place to find the answer, it can only be Sky Island.

Of course, it is too difficult to go to the island, so he thought of another person-Maintainer.

I just don't know what impression the Maintainer has of him now. After all, the simulation has not yet started. Considering the relationship with each other in the previous few times, the probability of telling him the secrets from the creation to the present is about...0.

Even the identity of the ruler of time is the same.

After all, the maintainer is a bit stubborn. It is good for a subordinate to complete the task well. It is just emotional intelligence...

Forget it, let's give it a try first. If it doesn't work, we can fight again. Anyway, with his current strength, he will definitely crush it. If you don't say it, just treat it with reason.

"Are you worried?" Zhongli asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Su Chen came back to his senses and chuckled: "Nothing, just a little thing."

He looked at Heulia on the side and said: "Tell them that I will be at the Lantern Festival this year."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Well, I'll go and inform them~"

Heulia left with a happy face.

Zhongli saw the changes in Su Chen's expression. With his familiarity with the latter, the more this happened, the more likely it was that he encountered a big thing... However, if Su Chen didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.

Not saying it means that he can't help even if he said it.

If he can help, he will definitely say it.

And he will definitely help.

...

The atmosphere in Liyue has been quite lively recently.

As the Lantern Festival approaches, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful lights to create a festive atmosphere.

Qixing issued an order, and the General Affairs Department took the lead. This is a common practice in the past, but this year's Lantern Festival is a little special, because the Mingxiao Lanterns to be made for the Lantern Festival are modeled after the Human Emperor.

Xiao Lanterns and Mingxiao Lanterns have always been important parts of the Lantern Festival. The former is made by the people of Liyue themselves and used to fly at the Lantern Festival, while the latter is made by the Liyue official to commemorate those "immortals" who have made great contributions to Liyue, and their models are used.

The list is rotated. Although the immortals commemorated are all great, there are always the greatest among the great, such as the Human Emperor, such as Prince Yan.

Every time at this time, the excitement of the Lantern Festival will rise to a higher level.

"Come on, take a look, the freshly baked Human Emperor stewed noodles, Prince Yan said it was good after eating it!"
