Chapter 753

In many wuxia novels, those big shots are soft-hearted and let their enemies go, which then leads to their wives and family members being harmed.

Just like Nameless in *Wind and Cloud*; he let Po Jun go, but Po Jun was not grateful for this at all, and instead took revenge on Nameless. That is how Nameless lost his wife.

Besides Nameless, there are many others who have seen their families destroyed because of their own benevolence.

"Of course, if you strike too ruthlessly, it is also possible that others will come to your side to seek revenge." After thinking for a moment, Mu Yang comforted Zhong Li again: "Sometimes, once you step onto this path, there is no turning back, regardless of whether you did it voluntarily or were forced into it."

"Just like me; at the beginning, I didn't care whether I became the Heavenly Principles or not."

"But in reality, the current me needs to worry about the Teyvat continent."

"Having already stepped onto this path, there is no room for maneuver."

After Zhong Li silently glanced at Mu Yang, he nodded slightly. Indeed, Mu Yang was very similar to him in this regard.

Thinking back, he never wanted to be some Geo Archon. Aside from being able to fight a little, he wasn't very suitable to be the Geo Archon. Relatively speaking, Zhong Li felt Guizhong was more suitable to be the Geo Archon than he was.

He and Azhdaha only needed to support her from behind.

It was never said that the Seven Archons needed to be the most powerful one.

Just like Inazuma back then; Raiden Makoto was indeed not as good at fighting as Raiden Ei.

But in the end, wasn't it Raiden Makoto who became the Electro Archon?

That woman Guizhong seemed very unreliable, but when it came to the people, she was the most willing to put in the effort. What he had done before was nothing more than repeating the wisdom of others.

After Guizhong passed away, it took him a long time to fulfill the duties of the Geo Archon.

Moreover, he racked his brains every year for Liyue's policies and had to think for a long time. If Guizhong were here, she probably wouldn't have needed much time to complete those policy plans.

This was Zhong Li's trust in Guizhong.

He wanted to resurrect Guizhong, partly because he wanted to resurrect this friend who had sacrificed herself due to his own negligence.

On the other hand, he wanted to say, "You damn woman, why are you sleeping? Why don't you get up and work? I've been working hard for thousands of years, and I want to rest too!"

Guizhong was a technical expert. Over in Sumeru, there were Nahida and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata as the Gods of Wisdom.

Although Raiden Ei often looked silly and was a woman who lacked common sense, in many aspects, Raiden Ei was also top-tier in the Teyvat continent.

If Liyue wanted to compete with them, the only way was to call Guizhong out.

Come back! My old friend!

Zhong Li nodded slightly and took out a lock with a special design: "This is the Dust Lock."

"It is a token of the alliance that Guizhong once gave me. I spent a thousand years trying to unlock it."

"Inside, there is Guizhong's consciousness..."

"You spent a thousand years unlocking it?" Mu Yang was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Zhong Li with surprise.

Wouldn't that be a bit too coincidental?

Zhong Li had spent a thousand years without unlocking the Dust Lock, yet less than half a year after he appeared, Zhong Li had cracked it.

Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

"It did indeed take some time." Zhong Li coughed lightly. How was he supposed to explain this?

Because he didn't want anything to go wrong with this last thing related to Guizhong, he had only kept the Dust Lock as a memento for a thousand years. As for the actual desire to unlock it, that had only arisen recently.

"When I was about to unlock this Dust Lock, I felt a trace of Guizhong's aura, so I stopped my actions." Zhong Li then said with a serious tone: "If you are here, should any accident occur, please stop time."

"No problem."

"I also need new manpower on my side." Mu Yang did not refuse upon hearing this.

Mu Yang was also very interested in Guizhong. It seemed her personality was somewhat similar to Hu Tao's, which was quite interesting.

Of course, what Mu Yang cared about most was her mechanical arts, even though Cloud Retainer often said her level of mechanical arts was about the same as Guizhong's.

But anyone could see that there was still a significant gap between Cloud Retainer's mechanical arts and Guizhong's.

Even now, what Cloud Retainer used was merely the technology left behind by Guizhong.

Everyone understood this point; they just didn't want to point it out.

If it were Guizhong, combined with the knowledge Mu Yang uploaded later, they could better popularize it within the Teyvat continent.

Zhong Li nodded slightly upon hearing this. If Guizhong knew that both he and Mu Yang wanted to resurrect her just to make her work hard, would she even want to be resurrected at all?

"Then I shall begin." As Zhong Li's voice fell, golden light radiated from his hands.

At the same time, the Dust Lock also emitted a dazzling light, and a beautiful phantom of a young girl with her eyes closed floated out from within.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Li felt joy in his heart and hurriedly used his points on her.

"I'll join in too!" Seeing this, Azhdaha hurriedly followed suit. Resurrecting Guizhong was not just Morax's business alone.

He had also had a very good relationship with Guizhong back then.

Although Guizhong loved to tease people, their relationship was indeed very good.

"Morax, were you startled?" Guizhong quickly sensed her situation and exclaimed in surprise: "Eh, what are you all doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just bear with it, I'm resurrecting you now." Looking at Guizhong like this, Zhong Li said helplessly.

"Eh? I can be resurrected?" Guizhong blinked her eyes upon hearing this, silently sensed her current situation, and didn't say much more.

Since when did Morax and Azhdaha become so powerful that they could resurrect her?

She was a god!

Soon, Guizhong noticed Mu Yang on the side: "Little brother, who are you?"

"Are you very close with Morax?"

"Hello, Guizhong, I've long admired your name. Want to go on a date?" Mu Yang looked at Guizhong's appearance and chuckled.

Guizhong: "???"

Zhong Li: "??"

Azhdaha: "..."

Good heavens, Guizhong had just been resurrected, and Mu Yang was already trying to flirt?

"This is Mu Yang, the current Heavenly Principles." Zhong Li said somewhat helplessly: "The means to resurrect you now were provided by him."

"Heavenly Principles?" Guizhong blinked her eyes, looking at Mu Yang with full curiosity: "You are the current Heavenly Principles, so did the previous Heavenly Principles fall?"

"Meeting is indeed better than hearing of the name!" Looking at Guizhong like this, Mu Yang rubbed his forehead. Hu Tao was indeed following in Guizhong's footsteps.
