Chapter 293

"The Senior Qinglong Cauldron, immortal pills... could you be that Senior Qinglong Town-Sea Immortal who passed away long ago?"

"That's right."

"But didn't you sacrifice yourself long ago?"

"I died, but I lived again. It's just a process."

Shenhe:...

This left her a bit dazed and dumbfounded.

The amount of information was too great.

She couldn't process it all at once.

Regarding the Senior Qinglong Immortal, the immortals of Jueyun Karst had told her more than once; she could be said to have grown up listening to such stories.

For an immortal who stood up to protect Liyue.

She held great respect in her heart.

Unexpectedly, that immortal, who had been dead for at least two thousand years in the stories, was actually appearing here, alive and well.

No wonder he said his task was complete.

That immortal tea tree was related to this very immortal.

Perhaps he knew what was going on all along.

But, since he had been dead for thousands of years, how could he reappear in the mortal world?

This was truly incredible.

The mysteries of the immortals were truly profound and astonishing.

It seemed the path Shenhe had to walk was still very, very long.

As for whether a human could truly cultivate to become an immortal?

That was certainly possible.

There was even an example right there.

She remembered that one called the Savior of Suffering Immortal.

With the immortal power of numerous immortals, plus that will to not die, she was sent straight to the immortals.

So hearing Ye Ruo's "keep this a secret," she nodded blankly.

Next, Zhong Li and Ye Ruo chatted about many past events, also focusing on the many changes in Liyue; as time flowed and eras shifted, the changes that occurred could be described as seas turning into mulberry fields.

Even for an immortal, if one hadn't come for a long time, one would feel like a stranger.

One would need to adapt a little.

However, speaking of the current Liyue, Zhong Li was very approving.

"Old friend, what do you think of the prosperity of Liyue today?"

"Very good. People can live and work in peace, writing one story after another; it was worth all we sacrificed back then."

"By the way, you're going to say something at this Rite of Descension, right? Don't let me delay you."

Ye Ruo asked a question he already knew the answer to; after all, this process had to be gone through.

Zhong Li naturally spoke of his intention to retire.

Shenhe, off to the side, didn't even dare to make a sound.

She wondered if following along this time was the right thing to do.

So the other person sitting here was actually the Geo Archon.

The Geo God everyone revered.

She had already felt that this Zhong Li was no ordinary person; being a good friend of the Senior Qinglong Immortal and her own Master, he had to be at least an immortal.

She had already overestimated him enough.

Unexpectedly, she was still far off.

This person was actually the Ancestor of All Immortals!

The title was terrifying.

As Morax, who had a large number of immortals under his command, he naturally held the title of Ancestor of All Immortals.

And what was most shocking was that the Geo Archon planned to retire!

He was quitting!

Such a thing existed?

Liyue was a nation that walked with gods; surely no one would have expected such a development?

Shenhe weakly maintained her position as a background character.

Hmm.

In front of these two, she was as small as one could be.

Her detachment had been broken.

Ordinary things could no longer disturb her mind, but what was before her was no small matter.

And after finishing these topics, Zhong Li was curious.

"Old friend, since you have recovered your memories, do you want to return to Liyue?"

Ye Ruo smiled.

"I will come back often, but I also have many important people in Mondstadt, as well as two lovers; you could say I've settled down."

"It's time to take care of my family."

"Anyway, the war has been over for so long, it's time to properly enjoy mortal life; it's the same wherever I am."

"For me, going back and forth between the two places takes no time at all; I'll come find you for a drink when I'm free."

"I originally planned to head to Jueyun Karst, but with your fake death, I don't need to rush; they will all come here."

Hearing this, Zhong Li nodded.

After all, there had been peace for a long time, and the other immortal beasts had long since gone into seclusion or wandered the four corners of the world.

For example, Yanfei's father had also settled down, married, and had a daughter named Yanfei.

Then he took his wife to travel outside, living their life as a couple.

Only Yanfei was left here.

So hearing that Ye Ruo also had lovers, Zhong Li found it novel.

"This is truly unexpected, even for an immortal like you who only focuses on alchemy."

"You used to be indifferent to women, but now that you've reincarnated, you've actually changed."

"In that case, I must prepare two gifts as a congratulation."

"Oh, by the way, there are quite a few peerless beauties in Liyue; you could stay here and see more of them."

Ye Ruo had a face full of black lines.

What was going on?

How did you, Morax, become a matchmaker?

He hadn't said anything about dragons being lustful or anything like that.

And he wasn't starting anything.

Watching Ye Ruo's expression, Zhong Li found it quite amusing.

"I'm teasing you."

His old friend's resurrection had caused much of his usual sternness to dissipate.

Back when everyone was still around, Zhong Li was also a god who enjoyed drinking happily with everyone.

"I heard you have a close connection with the Tianshu; she is quite a good match for you."

"As for that Yuheng, Keqing, she is a fan of your books and has always wanted to bag you; just keep an eye out."

"Even without your memories, you can still get involved with two of the Qixing; you truly are my old friend."

Ye Ruo:...

So that was it.

It was Keqing who wrote that letter to Mondstadt.
