Chapter 675: Leaving the embrace of the gods, beginning to run forward alone

Then, would such an ancient god know the whereabouts of his older brother?

Lumine's gaze held an expression of expectation.

Moreover, could this god before her be the one who separated her brother and herself back then?

The expectation in Lumine's eyes shifted to a hint of wariness.

After all, any god could possibly be the one who separated her and her brother back then!

Now, among the seven nations, Barbatos, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, has already been ruled out.

Whether by Barbatos's personality or in every other aspect.

Lumine believed the other was not lying; Barbatos indeed could not be the god from back then.

Then, could this Geo Archon before her be the one?

Sister Ying narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, her heart was extremely uneasy.

She held both the expectation brought by news of her brother's whereabouts and the wariness regarding whether this unknown god before her was indeed the one from back then.

If, by any chance, the worst outcome occurred and Morax was the god who separated the two back then, then war between Lumine and Morax would be inevitable.

Moreover, Lumine's strength had not fully recovered; judging by Lumine's current combat power, defeating this god...

... was something only possible in a dream.

Instantly, thinking of this, Sister Ying also grew a bit nervous.

"My Lord Archon, I wonder if Liyue has any new policies this year? Or any policies that need revision?"

Following the custom of previous years, Little Ningguang began to ask Morax.

Morax closed his eyes and shook his head.

"This year is a year of harvest; Liyue should simply proceed according to the original plan and pace."

Hearing Morax's words, everyone around immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The common people still held full trust in their own Lord Archon.

After all, these were words spoken by their Rex Lapis!

If the Lord Archon says this year is a year of harvest, then this year will definitely be a year of harvest!

Not only those around, but even Little Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this year is not a year of disaster, it would be fine.

The speed of the Rite of Descension was not fast, as it proceeded according to the established rules and procedures.

Each item had to be done one by one.

After completing the final ritual, Little Ningguang looked at the Lord Archon, her eyes carrying a question.

Little Ningguang knew about Morax's plan to retire at the ceremony.

Because Jiang Yan had told Morax about it.

If the nation's ruler did not know about such matters, Liyue could easily erupt into internal chaos.

Besides, you are Little Ningguang's senior master; if you hid such an important matter from Little Ningguang, how would she view you in the future?

These words indeed reminded Morax.

Little Ningguang's master is Jiang Yan!

She is even his Morax's junior master's disciple.

Even if Morax could ignore Little Ningguang, Jiang Yan could not.

This fellow is very prone to causing trouble.

Especially after you provoke him.

Morax would not allow any accident to affect his retirement.

But Jiang Yan is a slippery fellow; he cannot be beaten, nor can he be driven away.

After all, although Jiang Yan has retired...

... his wife Little Ganyu and his disciple Little Ningguang are both still working diligently for Liyue.

How could Jiang Yan possibly leave Liyue easily?

Especially at this critical juncture.

Jiang Yan would be even less likely to leave.

So, after much deliberation, Morax finally told Little Ningguang about his retirement.

Just as Morax predicted.

Upon learning that Morax was to retire, Little Ningguang was directly shocked.

She even thought she had failed in some duty, causing Morax to be like this.

After some persuasion from Morax, Little Ningguang finally regained her composure.

Finally, after some discussion with Little Ningguang, certain matters for the Rite of Descension were confirmed.

The news of Morax's retirement must be announced last.

Before that, the Rite of Descension must proceed normally.

A god's retirement is by no means a small matter.

Whether Little Ningguang or the other members of the Liyue Qixing, all must make full preparations.

This is precisely why the Rite of Descension proceeds normally.

"Everyone, there is one last matter."

After receiving Little Ningguang's glance, Morax pondered for a moment and spoke in a loud voice.

"Everyone, this will be my final appearance at the Rite of Ascension."

These words were like a bomb dropped into a lake, causing the crowd around to erupt.

"What did Dijunbu Society just say?"

"Wait, I think I didn't quite understand Dijunbu Society's words. What is... 'final'?"

"Dijunbu Society won't be coming again?"

"Huh? What happened?"

"Is Dijunbu Society going to abandon us?!"

"Nonsense! Dijunbu Society personally, together with my lord the Immortal, founded this prosperous nation of Liyue; how could they possibly abandon us?"
