Chapter 676

Watching the common people around him murmur and debate, Morax sighed.

He had known it would be like this.

The people's reaction was something Morax had long anticipated.

"Silence! Listen to the Archon finish speaking!"

At this moment, Little Ningguang frowned and spoke loudly.

Her cold voice was like a basin of cold water splashed over everyone, and gradually those around fell silent.

Seeing the crowd quiet down, Morax continued speaking.

"Everyone, I know what you wish to say."

"It is not that I wish to abandon Liyue."

"But rather, Liyue has already reached the time to grow up on its own."

"As everyone knows, I, the Geo Archon Morax, established Liyue, and as the Geo Archon, have always ruled over the entire nation of Liyue."

"Until today, it has already been three thousand seven hundred years."

"For a full three thousand seven hundred years, I have never set down the heavy burden upon my shoulders."

"But now, the winds are favorable and the rains timely; the nation is prosperous and the people at peace."

"The prosperity of Liyue is evident to all of you."

"Five years ago, when the Wood Spirit Immortal retired, I also began to have this thought."

"Liyue has already become powerful, and we who have always guarded this land—may we not rest for a moment?"

"Until today, have I finally confirmed this thought."

"Liyue is the time to break free from the embrace of the gods and begin to run forward on its own!"
