Chapter 211

By the time Hearing Luo Li had skillfully coaxed Rosalyne, he discovered that the play on the stage below had already ended, and the second act was about to begin.

Swallowing the transparent crystal at the corner of his mouth, he looked at the composed Zhong Li.

"Listening to your conversation over there just now, it seems the Fatui are planning to do something in Liyue, and this time you've even given your tacit approval."

Knowing full well what was about to happen in Liyue, Hearing Luo Li deliberately asked.

"Indeed, even the most enduring bedrock cannot withstand the erosion brought by time."

Zhong Li's tone carried an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and helplessness.

Having carried Liyue for over three thousand years, it was time to lay down the burden and let humanity decide its own future.

"So, you intend to be like Venti, acting as a hands-off manager and quitting the job?"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you."

Zhong Li pondered, not intending to be evasive with his good friend: "Just as you thought, I plan to take this opportunity with the Fatui to test the capacity of Liyue today, to see to what extent this nation can function without the guidance of the gods."

If it could grow and soar into the sky, then there would be nothing more to say.

But if it couldn't overcome the catastrophe, Morax would personally take action to suppress everything.

Having earned the title of Martial God, he had the ability to suppress all directions.

"Heh, you ultimately chose this path. Two thousand years ago, I told you that humanity's path would eventually have to be chosen by them."

Hearing Luo Li couldn't say that Zhong Li's original choice was wrong, because it was only with the guidance of the gods that they could survive their nascent, tender phase.

Zhong Li nodded slowly: "I understand your and Barbatos's philosophy; is this why you were unwilling to take over the position of Geo Archon back then?"
