~6 min read 1,126 words

Jiang Yan did not intend to say anything about Morax.

If he wishes to observe Liyue in the guise of a human, that is his own business.

"Then, Guest Consultant Zhong Li, do you think my actions just now were right or wrong?"

Jiang Yan set down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Since they were in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Jiang Yan did not speak Morax's name directly.

"Hmm, although the method was somewhat radical, the effect was good."

Even as a staff member of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Morax neither agreed with Jiang Yan's actions nor denied them.

"You have quite a skill for that muddy middle-ground approach."

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes.

"If I had known you were here, why would I have come? You could have handled it yourself."

"Immortal Lord speaks in jest. Zhong is but a mortal; though I claim some learning, I am relatively clumsy when facing such matters."

Hearing Morax put on such an act, Jiang Yan could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Yo yo yo, still a mere mortal.

What mortal lives for thousands of years and acts as if nothing is wrong?

"Fine, then you old one continue your work here; Liyue has many affairs, and there are still some documents I have not finished processing."

Jiang Yan felt the conversation had gone on long enough and prepared to slip away.

"Hmm, Immortal Lord take your time; come visit often when you have the chance."

Morax stood up and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder with a smile.

The meaning was simple: 180 meant do not expose the news that he works here.

Heh, truly...

Jiang Yan responded with a dry chuckle.

"Alright, alright, I understand your meaning; I'll withdraw first."

Jiang Yan waved his hand at Morax and left the place.

"Eh? Immortal Lord, you are leaving?"

Hu Ming walked in and saw Jiang Yan about to rise and depart.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered there are still some matters I have not finished; I must return first."

Jiang Yan smiled and clasped his hands toward Hu Ming as he spoke.

"Next time I have the chance, I will come over again."

"Then fine, I will see you off."

Hu Ming's face bore a hint of disappointment; he had not yet properly entertained the Immortal Lord, and now he was leaving.

"No need, stay put."

Jiang Yan waved his hand to indicate there was no need to see him off; immediately, he tapped his foot and flew toward the distant Yuehai Pavilion.

And Hu Ming stood in place, watching Jiang Yan's figure gradually recede, and suddenly sighed:

"Immortals..."

The days that followed were very plain.

After Jiang Yan implemented the policy of rest and recuperation, Liyue saw great growth in both economy and people's livelihood.

In the seventeenth year of Liyue, Hu Ming, accompanied by many Wangsheng Funeral Parlor personnel, roamed the lands of Liyue to begin handling plagues that could erupt at any moment.

Upon learning of this, Jiang Yan immediately dispatched the Millelith to follow and notified the Millelith guards in all regions to cooperate fully with the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's work.

All Jiang Yan could do was this; the Boundary Between Life and Death needed Hu Ming and his descendants to establish.

This is not something one generation can complete.

The dead encroaching upon the living's homes is what caused the plague to spread.

Only through the efforts of generations to recover can the Boundary Between Life and Death be redrawn.

What Jiang Yan must do is ensure the Liyue government fully supports the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's work.

If money is needed, give money; if people are needed, give people.

After all, the head of Liyue, Morax, is already serving as a guest consultant within the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor...

After the development of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor over several generations of Directors, the Boundary Between Life and Death was finally formally established in the fifth Director's tenure, in the 281st year of Liyue, at Wuwang Hill, and Liyue's life and death returned to balance.

Jiang Yan praised this greatly and even handed over the management rights of Wuwang Hill to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

After all, it is better not to let mortals come into contact with the Boundary Between Life and Death lightly.

Jiang Yan's policy of rest and recuperation continued until the 300th year of Liyue.

In these three hundred years, Jiang Yan can be said to have made no major moves at all, focusing entirely on promoting the development of commerce and people's livelihood; the people must first become wealthy, and only when they are wealthy will there be consumption, which will then allow the entire Liyue to become wealthy!

After three hundred years of continuous recuperation, Liyue's national treasury can be said to have reached a quite affluent state.

Jiang Yan prepared to establish the naval and air force endeavors he had previously envisioned.

Previously, he did not establish them because founding a navy and air force would consume too much of Liyue and easily bankrupt the treasury.

But establishing them now is different.

The wealth of Liyue's national treasury can fully support the development of the military!

Moreover, if Jiang Yan's estimation is not mistaken, the Archon War should be reaching its end soon.

Once the seven Archons are established and the era of the seven nations arrives, a powerful navy and air force will be the prerequisite guarantee for economic and trade!

That's right; Jiang Yan intends to use an extremely violent mode to drive Mora into the gates of other nations.

Just as in the game of his previous life, Mora will become the universal currency of the entire continent!

Hah! Hah! Hah!!

As expected, Jiang Yan's cosmic sense suddenly detected something, and he looked up toward the direction of the Mondstadt Snowfield.

"Ah... that cry is... the people of Old Mondstadt rising up in revolt against the rule of the Lone King of the High Tower?"

Jiang Yan murmured.

It seems the Archon War is truly coming to an end.

Immediately, Jiang Yan stood up without hesitation, tapped his right foot, and soared into the sky.

How could Jiang Yanfei not join in such excitement?

He must see how the people of Mondstadt overthrow the rule of an Archon.

Jiang Yan flew up the snow mountain, then instantly activated the Twin Stars mode; brilliant light erupted from his eyes, and seven-colored streams of light covered his entire body.

After three hundred years of cultivation, Jiang Yan Has Already been able to fully control the energy output in the Twin Stars state; now, he has no concern at all that overusing the Twin Stars would cause the world to collapse.

"Let's go!"
