Chapter 469

From now on, is Teyvat considered to have six Archons?

"Geo Archon..."

After an unknown amount of time, the dazed gazes of the Liyue people finally converged, and one by one, they looked at Seeing Seeing Zhongli anxiously.

They even forgot that the Shushan people were still present, and the entire Yujing Terrace became noisy.

"Geo Archon, think twice!"

"Liyue cannot lose the Geo Archon!"

"The Geo Archon has already cultivated immortality; you can completely continue to lead Liyue forward!"

"Without the Geo Archon, what will Liyue do in the future?"

"Geo Archon! Geo Archon, you cannot abdicate!"

Listening to these successive pleas, Lady Lady Ningguang and the others sighed in their hearts.

Although early discovery meant early treatment, but...

The people of Liyue were indeed overly dependent on Seeing Seeing Zhongli. If this matter was handled with a quick cut now, the turmoil would certainly be great.

But if it wasn't done now, it would be even more troublesome later.

Neighboring Mondstadt was an example, a nation of giant babies. Lady Lady Ningguang would never allow Liyue to become like that.

Seeing Seeing Zhongli felt the same.

Originally, he still had some nostalgia and reluctance; after all, this was the nation he had fought for his whole life.

It was the child he had watched grow up.

But hearing his citizens say this, the reluctance in Seeing Seeing Zhongli's heart was swept away.

This matter had to be done, and it had to be done decisively!

If you hesitate, you will suffer from it!

Liyue had reached a turning point; he could not continue to drag Liyue along.

"Quiet!"

Seeing Xiao received Seeing Seeing Zhongli's eye signal and scolded softly. In an instant, Seeing Xiao's voice echoed through heaven and earth.

An invisible barrier deprived everyone of the right to speak.

The people of Liyue could only look at Seeing Seeing Zhongli with some grievance.

The latter then spoke slowly.

"Liyue is not Liyue of me alone, nor is it Liyue of the immortals. Liyue is Liyue of the people of Liyue."

"I said that back then."

"In this world, demons rise together. Although I have no intention of chasing the deer, I know the suffering of the common people."

"Since the establishment of Liyue, its essence has never changed. Liyue was Liyue of the people of Liyue at the beginning, it is now, and it will be in the future."

"The Liyue of today has the Liyue Liyue Liyue Qixing with brilliant wisdom, the Millelith with prosperous martial arts, a developed economy, and vast resources."

"I ask myself if I have already handed in a satisfactory answer to Liyue. My work of three thousand seven hundred years should also come to an end."

"The past of Liyue ends here, representing that the old me should also leave. The future of Liyue should be created by the people of Liyue themselves."

Pausing, Seeing Seeing Zhongli continued:

"I know that spiritual energy is recovering in Teyvat now, and as the nation facing the recovery of spiritual energy head-on, Liyue naturally has a lot of pressure."

"But compared to Liyue during the Archon War, you now have more confidence."

"The the Liyue Liyue Liyue Qixing are all cultivating immortality, Liyue has countless powerhouses, and there is also martial arts inheritance. The fierce beasts brought by the recovery of spiritual energy should be Liyue's opportunity, not a disaster."

"I believe the the Liyue Liyue Liyue Qixing will make the right decisions to lead Liyue in the future, and I ask the citizens of Liyue to believe in them as I do."

"From now on, there is no need to rely on me."

"The future of Liyue is for you to decide what color to paint it."

"Borrowing a sentence the Sect Leader once said to us, I want to pass it on to you."

"No matter when or where, remember, man can conquer heaven!"

"If even you are unwilling to believe in yourself, then there is no value in striving."

Seeing Seeing Zhongli was like an old father about to go on a long journey, patiently instructing all the citizens of Liyue.

Every word was sincere, making the citizens of Liyue teary-eyed, but no one could interrupt Seeing Seeing Zhongli's words.

Miss Miss Keqing and the others also listened carefully. At least for the moment, Seeing Seeing Zhongli was not in the capacity of the Shushan Head Seat, but just the Geo Archon about to retire.

He did not continue to make plans for this year for Liyue from the perspective of a god, modify laws, or organize the economy.

He just chattered about some caring and pertinent words.

Casting aside those flowery words, it was just like a father teaching his child how to overcome difficulties on their own in the future.

Before, he taught how to do things.

And now, he is teaching how to be a person.

This was his final instruction to Liyue.

But surprisingly, these words, which should have been less nutritious, were listened to by all the citizens of Liyue seriously and remembered in their minds.

Yujing Terrace suddenly became somewhat warm.

After an unknown amount of time, Seeing Seeing Zhongli looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

"It's about time... the time that belongs to me can end here."

"The era of walking with gods will come to a complete end today. From now on, Liyue is a nation without gods."

"Everything in the future will have to be solved by you."

"However... just as you believe in me, I have always believed in you."

"Three thousand seven hundred years walking with Liyue, six thousand years fighting for others."

"From today on, my duties are completely over."

"From now on, I will live for myself."

"Everyone..."

Seeing Seeing Zhongli sighed with relief and revealed a rare smile.

"The Geo Archon, Morax, is dead. From today on, there is only Seeing Seeing Zhongli, the acting head seat of Shushan's Dragon Head Peak."

"Then, for the final process, Lady Tianquan Star, you announce it."

Lady Lady Ningguang pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head, and said solemnly:

"No... Geo Archon, please say goodbye to Liyue one last time as the Geo Archon."

Seeing Seeing Zhongli was silent for a moment, then carefully looked around at all the Liyue citizens again.

They were teary-eyed, but this time, no one continued to hold him back.

In their eyes, besides reluctance, there was only blessing.

Morax had never lived for himself; he had perfectly completed his duties. Now...

Seeing Seeing Zhongli should live for himself.

The people of Liyue could not continue to selfishly ask Seeing Seeing Zhongli to keep walking with Liyue.

Seeing Seeing Zhongli took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, and only a faint relief remained.

"Then... goodbye everyone, the era that belongs to me has ended."

"Congratulations to you all. From today on, the sky is high and the sea is wide. Use your strength to let Liyue soar."

"In the name of the Geo Archon, the final contract between Morax and Liyue ends here!"

"From today on, Liyue has no god!"

"As Seeing Seeing Zhongli, I thank all the citizens, I thank Liyue, for following and accompanying Morax."

"As Seeing Seeing Zhongli, I wish Liyue to become better and better."

After speaking, Seeing Seeing Zhongli bowed solemnly, as if a grand performance that had lasted for over six thousand years had come to a complete end from today.

The nostalgia in Seeing Seeing Zhongli's heart was swept away, and what remained was only the expectation and yearning for a new life.

Lady Lady Ningguang, Miss Miss Keqing, and the others exchanged glances and also bowed to Seeing Seeing Zhongli in unison.

"Thank you, Geo Archon, for your care for over three thousand seven hundred years. Liyue will certainly not fail the Geo Archon's expectations. We swear to defend Liyue to the death!"

After speaking, Lady Lady Ningguang straightened up and said with a smile:

"Finally..."

"Many thanks to Mr. Seeing Seeing Zhongli for your blessings to Liyue. The immortal path is long; I wish you success in becoming an immortal soon!"

Seeing Seeing Zhongli nodded slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be calmed down.

"Many thanks."
