Chapter 470

After saying this, Seeing Zhongli didn't hesitate; his sword light unsheathed, and in an instant, he arrived at the pavilion, nodded to the others, and sat in the last seat.

From this day forward, Morax ends at Liyue Harbor.

And Shushan Dragon Head Peak Head Seat Seeing Zhongli officially takes his place!

Seeing Zhongli closed his eyes, calming the excited emotions in his heart.

Scenes from over six thousand years flashed before his eyes, then gradually dissipated into smoke and clouds.

Opening his eyes again, sword intent flowed in Seeing Zhongli's pupils.

"Goodbye, Morax... from today on, I am Seeing Zhongli!"

"Ehe!"

Venti, who was to the side, blinked his eyes, then suddenly reached out his hand and smiled at Seeing Zhongli:

"Hello there, Seeing Zhongli."

Seeing Zhongli was speechless; as expected, it had to be an old friend—he could tell what he was thinking from a single insignificant expression.

He reached out and shook hands with Venti.

Venti, however, suddenly said again:

"Sure enough, I'm still not used to calling you by your name. I'll just call you Old Man; after all, you've lived longer than me anyway."

"By the way, on such a great day, your retirement ceremony, why don't you take out your prized Osmanthus Wine and have a drink?"

Seeing Zhongli withdrew his hand nonchalantly and closed his eyes to rest.

"Stingy!"

Venti curled his lips, but his eyes were full of happiness for his friend's liberation.

From today on, Seeing Zhongli could do whatever he wanted to do.

Jiang Yan also nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing Zhongli stepped down, and from now on, he would devote himself to Shushan and cultivation.

Presumably, he would soon reach the stage of Refining Spirit into Void, and at that time, the word "acting" could be removed.

Shushan shall flourish!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan also tapped the armrest of his chair lightly.

Brilliant golden light bloomed across the sky, gathering like rain and gently sprinkling over the entire land of Liyue.

Those who came into contact with this golden rain saw the disabled become whole.

Martial arts practitioners saw their cultivation improve to varying degrees.

Those with illnesses were reborn.

Those who were healthy had their physiques strengthened.

Everyone received benefits.

Everyone couldn't help but fix their gaze on Jiang Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the pavilion.

Apart from him, there really was no one in Teyvat who could do this so easily.

Immediately, everyone cupped their hands in unison, their faces full of respect:

"Thank you, Sect Master, for your blessing!"

Seeing Zhongli, seeing Jiang Yan being so generous, was also somewhat moved.

He said earnestly:

"Thank you, Sect Master. In the future, Seeing Zhongli will surely go through fire and water for Shushan, and will not shirk!"

279. Have you ever eaten the meat of a Great Demon at the Refining Qi into Spirit stage?

This morning, the events that occurred in the entire Liyue Harbor could have shattered the entire Liyue for a year.

Counting the last few hundred years, today's events could be considered top-tier major news.

First, cultivators gathered, and the people of Liyue witnessed a large number of cultivators and met many people.

Later, the legendary Shushan Sect Master arrived in person.

Then, even more shockingly, after the Geo Archon appeared, he directly announced his abdication.

And it wasn't just as simple as abdicating; he directly confirmed that Liyue would be governed without gods from now on.

Strictly speaking, Seeing Zhongli directly got rid of the position of the Geo Archon.

Liyue would be the first, and perhaps the only, completely godless nation in the entire Teyvat in the future.

Although the people of Liyue were still immersed in the shock of this sudden news, there was even some sadness in the shock.

But inevitably, many people began to think about the future development of Liyue.

The Geo Archon resigned completely, from now on devoting himself to cultivation, and all the adepti of Liyue joined Shushan.

Wouldn't many of Liyue's laws, contracts, economic plans, national defense measures, etc., all have to change?

Moreover, without the supervision of Seeing Zhongli and the adepti, the power of the Liyue Qixing was truly reaching its peak.

The entire Liyue was under the control of the Liyue Qixing.

They trusted the current Liyue Qixing, but they were also cultivators, and it was impossible for them to stay in the Liyue Qixing's position forever like Seeing Zhongli.

In the current era, cultivation was the most important path.

It was impossible for anyone to put the cart before the horse.

So what would the subsequent Liyue Qixing be like?

A nation governed by humans—actually, Mondstadt had already handed in an answer sheet once, but "failing" couldn't even describe that answer sheet.

It was practically a big zero.

The aristocratic groups led by the Lawrence clan turned Mondstadt into a living hell.

Would Liyue follow that old path in the future?

These were all uncertain things.

But one good thing was...

Seeing Zhongli only abdicated, he didn't die; he was just staying in Shushan to cultivate.

With the abilities of a cultivator and the distance from Shushan to Liyue, if the subsequent Liyue Qixing really dared to do something they shouldn't...

Seeing Zhongli would still intervene if he needed to.

Perhaps because they were momentarily confused about the future of Liyue, the people of Liyue couldn't really listen to whatever Lady Ningguang and the others were saying now.

Fortunately, they had anticipated this possibility before.

They said a few simple things, then arranged for people to disperse the crowd; other specific information could be viewed at the bulletin board on the General Affairs side later.

The transition from having gods to having no gods was a very long transformation; it wasn't something people could accept in a short time.

Lady Ningguang estimated that they would be busy for at least ten days or so.

Ten days...

Plus the weekly requirement to go to the Scripture Library to choose cultivation techniques.

That was about half a month.

Right now, there was less than a month left until the Nine Nether Secret Realm Exploration Conference.

They would have to spend half a month busy with Liyue's affairs and couldn't do anything else.

The time left for them to prepare for the exploration conference was less than half a month.

The pressure was still very high.

But regarding Seeing Zhongli's eagerness to abdicate, there was nothing they could say.

Whether to abdicate or not was his own decision, and Seeing Zhongli had already done enough.

Sighing, Lady Ningguang gave instructions to the General Affairs people, and she and Miss Keqing walked towards the pavilion.

The good news was that they might not be very busy today; after all, the news of Seeing Zhongli's abdication still needed time to spread.

Today was their last bit of leisure time.

Before long, everyone boarded the pavilion, and Lady Ningguang walked quickly to Jiang Yan's side and said softly:

"Sect Master, the disciple has already set up a banquet at the Jade Chamber, please move there."

Jiang Yan smiled and stood up:

"You've worked hard today too; presumably, Seeing Zhongli's abdication will keep you very busy later."

Hearing this, Lady Ningguang gave a wry smile and nodded:

"We will definitely be busy later, but today is still considered quite stable."

As she spoke, Lady Ningguang looked nonchalantly at Miko, who was following Jiang Yan.
