Chapter 366

He still had to manage her.

Suddenly, Hu Tao felt a bit depressed again.

"Regarding the time for holding the Rite of Descension, discuss it among yourselves. Just tell me once you've decided."

"However, try to make it as soon as possible."

Zhongli urged Ningguang and the others again, making Ningguang smile bitterly.

Those who didn't know would think Liyue was some dirty thing that everyone feared.

After arranging things for Ningguang, Zhongli looked at Tartaglia, who had been watching the show from beginning to end.

Suddenly, Tartaglia felt a chill in his heart.

Everyone also noticed the eye contact between Zhongli and Tartaglia and couldn't help but become curious.

After a long silence, Tartaglia said awkwardly:

"First Seat Zhongli, does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Your mission to Liyue."

"The Gnosis?"

Tartaglia pursed his lips, only then remembering that his main purpose for coming to Liyue was the Gnosis.

Just...

Was there really any need to collect this thing now?

The Cryo Archon wasn't unaware of the matter of immortal cultivation; before he came to pay his respects to the mountain today, the Cryo Archon had already almost arrived in Liyue.

This showed that in the eyes of the Cryo Archon, the matter of immortal cultivation itself was far more important than the Gnosis plan.

And now, after Tartaglia had personally experienced immortal cultivation, he had thrown the Gnosis collection plan completely to the back of his mind.

How strong could that damn Gnosis be?

Was it worth them giving up immortal cultivation to stubbornly pursue the Gnosis plan?

Tartaglia was now at the mid-stage of Refinement of Essence into Qi, cultivating the Dragon Head Peak's Profound Finger Scripture, and possessed the Inverse Blood Demon Blade and the Sword Control Art.

For the next period of time, he also wanted to strive to exchange for the Fierce Blood Blade.

By then, as long as he reached the peak of Refinement of Essence into Qi, with the blessing of this body of techniques and magic treasures,

he was confident that even if he couldn't hang the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and hammer her, he could at least give her a slap.

Moreover, he would continue to acquire more techniques later.

This thing called the Gnosis...

Was there still any need to collect it?

Give him some time, and he alone could fulfill the Cryo Archon's great wish.

If he could exchange the resources of the Gnosis plan for contribution points and directly get the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip,

the Cryo Archon could work on revitalizing the nation's fortune and turn around to confer a True God who existed at the level of Refinement of Qi into Spirit.

Could the Heavenly Principles still threaten Snezhnaya?

The Gnosis plan—was there any need to carry out this thing at all!

Instead of wasting that time pondering the Gnosis, it would be better to cultivate properly.

He believed that even if the Cryo Archon knew about this, she would think the same; Tartaglia could cultivate, so naturally, he would prioritize immortal cultivation.

"If I remember correctly..."

Jean looked thoughtfully at Venti, who was bored on the side, and said softly:

"First Seat Venti's Gnosis was also sent by Lisa to the Harbinger lady, right?"

"Ehe!"

Venti shrugged, not denying it.

That Gnosis thing was originally a chicken rib, and now it was even more so.

What was the use of that thing?

Zhongli said softly:

"Originally, these matters were private agreements between me and the Cryo Archon, and they shouldn't be spoken of openly, but given the current situation, there is truly no need to hide it."

"A long time ago, the Cryo Archon found me and told me about her Gnosis plan, and I happened to want to abdicate, so the Gnosis was useless to me."

"I signed a contract with the Cryo Archon to end all contracts."

"Once the matter was accomplished, I would return Liyue to humans, and the Gnosis would also be handed over to her."

After hearing Zhongli's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

So these two guys, Zhongli and Venti, both knew about the Cryo Archon's Gnosis plan.

And just helped the Cryo Archon out along the way?

Transactions between gods are truly strange.

Ningguang and the others shook their heads in their hearts and expressed no opinion on this.

The Gnosis is just an external magic organ for gods; compared to immortal cultivation, it is nothing.

Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more.

How to handle it is his own business.

Tartaglia had some realization and looked at Zhongli with complex eyes.

"So, from the very beginning, the Gnosis was destined to end up in the hands of Her Majesty the Tsaritsa?"

Zhongli nodded slightly.

"Basically, yes, but the premise is to help me complete the final contract."

"Then why did the Tsaritsa send me here..."

Tartaglia had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The next moment, Zhongli slowly raised his hand, and a slightly dim Gnosis appeared in his palm.

"I didn't pay much attention to the Gnosis while cultivating earlier, and almost let it shatter."

"The divine power within it has dissipated quite a bit, but I solidified it with true essence, so the Gnosis shouldn't have any problems."

"You can take it away."

After saying that, Zhongli didn't care whether Tartaglia was willing or not and threw the Gnosis directly to him.

Now, it was a real hot potato.

Only, this hot potato was now in Tartaglia's hands.

Holding this Gnosis, even though this was his main purpose for coming to Liyue before,

now that he had it easily, he should be happy.

But Tartaglia kept remembering what Zhongli had said.

The Cryo Archon was going to help Zhongli complete the final contract.

Obviously, it was impossible for the Cryo Archon herself to take action, which meant...

He, Tartaglia, was a coolie sent by the Cryo Archon to work for Zhongli?

Thinking of this, Tartaglia suddenly felt a bit miserable.

This Gnosis was also a bit heavy.

Thinking that he still had to help Zhongli complete the so-called final contract, that kind of thing...

How much of his immortal cultivation time would that waste!

What if he was surpassed by others during this time just to complete the final contract?

Tartaglia couldn't help but want to struggle one last time.

"First Seat Zhongli, this final contract has not yet been completed, wouldn't it be better if the Gnosis..."

Before Tartaglia could politely decline and push this matter to Rosalyne,

it was clear that Zhongli didn't intend to give him that opportunity.

"Since the Gnosis has already been handed to you, it has nothing to do with me."

"Moreover, I am not worried that you will not keep your promise and refuse to help me complete the final contract."

Zhongli stared at Tartaglia with a calm gaze, and the latter's face turned bitter.

Sure enough, Zhongli was just going to treat him as a coolie.

He had no choice but to complete this final contract.

He had clearly just joined Shushan today and hadn't even cultivated properly yet!
