Chapter 60

...went out to buy food.

Gu Chen could only sigh at how different people’s constitutions were.

However, Gu Chen turned his head and felt puzzled. He wondered, "There's no need to go in person for something like this, right? Wouldn't it be fine to just chat privately with Xiangling in the group? You could complete the transaction by sending each other a red envelope. The transaction fee for that amount is only a few Mora, and it saves you a trip."

The deal is done; the commission fee for this amount is only a few Mora, and it saves me a trip.

Paimon spread her little hands, her round face showing a hint of confusion, then, as if suddenly realizing something, she said, "Is there a possibility that she prefers to go buy it herself?"

Could it really be like that?

The power of love is truly terrifying.

Before long, Lumine ran back, a soft smile on her face as she handed breakfast to Gu Chen: "Here~"

"Have you eaten?" Gu Chen asked after taking it.

"Not yet."

Lumine shook her head, and a rumbling sound came from her belly.

She gave a giggle and clung to Gu Chen to eat breakfast together; as for Paimon, she had already been ignored and pushed to the side.

But Paimon had been mentally prepared for this long ago.

Those stinky lovebirds shouldn't even think about ruining her beautiful day.

Two days later.

Gu Chen and Lumine were gradually adapting to this life. Occasionally, when they went out, they would run into Miss Miss Ganyu from the Yuehai Pavilion, and if they were lucky, they could even see Miss Miss Keqing running from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Yuehai Pavilion for meetings.

Miss Miss Keqing, who is holding a meeting at the Moon-Sea Pavilion.

It must be said that this area is truly comfortable.

And today, the Yujing Terrace area broke its calm and welcomed a lively crowd.

Since its construction, this place had been very spacious, but now, the wide Yujing Terrace was filled with wave after wave of people.

Among the crowd, one could see many familiar faces, such as Xiangling, Xingqiu, Hu Tao, Chongyun, Xinyan, Yunjin, and so on.

Today is a special day.

Unlike the Rite of Descension in previous years, the people of Go Go Go Liyue knew very well that at this year's Rite of Descension, the Geo Archon would officially abdicate. This was a day worth commemorating.

The Geo Archon's abdication marked Go Go Go Liyue's entry into a brand-new era. The new era would bring more opportunities, so there were also a large number of merchants among the crowd looking for business prospects.

The person presiding over this Rite of Descension was still Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang, but it was no longer Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang alone; it was all the current Go Go Go Liyue the Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Liyue Go Liyue Liyue Qixing, plus Miss Miss Ganyu, who had worked diligently for Go Go Go Liyue for so long.

On the second floor of Gu Fu, one could see the entire Yujing Terrace.

In the distant crowd, someone raised their hand and shouted: "Mr. Gu Chen! I'll come find you later!"

Gu Chen looked over: "Tartaglia?"

"It's me!"

Tartaglia was very excited, and he was followed by two stern-faced Millelith soldiers.

"Today is a big day for Go Go Go Liyue. The Tianquan has granted us prisoners permission to witness the new era!" Tartaglia said, his emotions stirred.

It wasn't because he was about to witness a change in a nation's era, but because he had seen Gu Chen.

Tartaglia had figured it out: Gu Chen was definitely a powerhouse.

Although he didn't know Gu Chen's background, Gu Chen possessed memories of a past life, so he must certainly know how he became strong in that past life. Therefore, Tartaglia really wanted to spar with Gu Chen again!

A sparring match with Gu Chen!

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Chen waved his hand.

"Alright, I won't disturb you." Tartaglia was very tactful; after nodding, he happily dove into the crowd.

Time gradually reached noon.

A light breeze blew by.

Venti was already sitting on the wall eaves of the moon gate at Yujing Terrace, though no one knew when he had arrived.

At the same time, the adepti who had come from Jueyun Karst revealed their forms.

The Guardian Yaksha, the Golden Winged Great General, also known as the Conqueror of Demons—Xiao.

The Three-Eyed Five-Spun Adepti—Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver, and Streetward Rambler.

All the Three-Eyed Five-Spun Adepti were present.

They had already understood the changing of the era.

The Geo Archon was, after all, one of the adepti, respectfully called the Ancestor of Adepti.

This was the transition from the era of adepti to the era of mortals. Of course, this did not mean that the adepti would completely leave Go Go Go Liyue; it was just that the current Go Go Go Liyue was changing with each passing day and was no longer the era they were familiar with.

The era of those who know.

As long as Go Go Go Liyue moved steadily toward a better future, the adepti felt comforted.

In the center of Yujing Terrace stood a huge, ancient incense burner.

Many offerings were placed in front of it, and the Go Go Go Liyue the Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Liyue Go Liyue Liyue Qixing were also in position before the burner.

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang glanced at the sky and said: "The auspicious hour has arrived. We respectfully invite the Archon!"

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Ningguang performed the ritual.

It was similar to the video from the past life, but even more grand.

As a golden light shot up into the sky from the incense burner, everyone's gaze followed the light upward.

In the clear blue sky, a figure that brought endless sense of security to the people of Go Go Go Liyue gradually emerged.

He wore a clean white robe and a hood; his arms were pitch black, with gilded patterns upon them.

There was an opening behind the hood, and a strand of long hair fluttered behind him.

The entire person carried a profound divinity.

At the very first sight of him, a feeling of reverence arose spontaneously in one's heart.

At this moment, he was not like the mortal Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli, whose aura was restrained, gentle, and humble.

At this moment, he was the god who had guarded Go Go Go Liyue for three thousand seven hundred years, ended the Archon War, and sheltered a nation of the human world—

The Geo Archon, Morax!

The people of Go Go Go Liyue respectfully called him—the Geo Archon!

He had many titles sung of in the mortal world: the God of Martial Arts, the God of Commerce, the God of Contracts, and so on.

Now, Morax gradually descended from the high sky. He did not touch the ground, and his divinity was gradually receding.

Even so, the majesty radiating from his body made everyone's expression solemn.

"Three thousand seven hundred years ago, demons and gods rose together in this world. Although I had no intention of chasing the deer, I knew the suffering of the common people..."

Morax began to recount his own story.

His deep, resonant voice seemed to transport people back to that era belonging to the Archons.

People saw one dangerous battle after another, and one piece of land after another sheltered by a benevolent god.

Humans living under the siege of vicious beasts and demons gradually formed settlements, towns, and cities. The light of hope was brought by that figure, shattering the darkness and igniting for humanity the spark known as civilization.

As the spark of civilization.

From then on, the humans of Go Go Go Liyue lived and worked in peace and contentment, developing vigorously.

But today, this god was about to retire after a job well done.

For a moment, the people of Go Go Go Liyue watching the ceremony could not help but shed tears, and those who had come from foreign lands could also empathize.

"This is the changing of an era. I am the god of humans, and I should witness the rise and fall of humans."

"From now on, the authority of Go Go Go Liyue is returned to the hands of humans."

"History shall be written by humans."

As Morax's voice fell, his figure gradually became illusory; he was about to leave.

"Respectfully send off the Archon!"

The Go Go Go Liyue the Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Go Liyue Go Go Liyue Go Liyue Liyue Qixing bowed.

The people of Go Go Go Liyue, having come to their senses, let out a sound like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, shaking the firmament.

On the second floor of Gu Fu.

Gu Chen witnessed all of this and sighed: "The era has changed..."

"Is that good or bad?" Paimon asked curiously.

Gu Chen was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "Whether it is good or bad can only be witnessed by history. Living in the present, it is difficult for me to evaluate this. History will give the most correct answer."

"I believe that in the hands of humans, Go Go Go Liyue might burst forth with even more brilliant light, but all of this requires humans themselves to build it diligently."

After his voice fell, Gu Chen smiled at Paimon: "Don't just stand there, we have visitors."

"Eh?"
