Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"What is Mora?"

Xuan Ge looked at the brown-haired, gold-eyed man before him, dressed in a brown-black-gold patterned dress, with a steady and noble bearing, and was almost charmed by his handsomeness.

Zhongli smiled at the man in black-gold dragon-patterned attire before him and said, "Hehe, it seems you are an outsider."

Hearing the word outsider, Xuan Ge smiled slightly; it seemed the other party had some depth.

"Skip the 'little friend' title; you don't look older than me."

Although the man before him was not simple, Xuan Ge was still the Xianzhou Emperor, and being called 'little friend' over and over meant he still had to save face.

If Gui Ji heard this, he would immediately post it in the Absolute Extinction Monarch group and crazily @Xing Xiao.

"Hehe." Zhongli nodded, then began to introduce himself solemnly.

"I am Morax, one of the Seven Executives of the Mortal World of Teyvat, now known as Zhongli. May I ask how you are called, sir?"

He had to proactively reveal his identity, for this strange outsider's strength was unfathomable, far beyond what he could see through.

Moreover, this person had appeared out of thin air within Liyue's borders; such spatial authority absolutely surpassed everyone in Teyvat.

Since this man named Zhongli was so sincere, Xuan Ge did not intend to hide things anymore.

"Xuan Ge."

Hearing this name, Zhongli's expression froze slightly, then he once again carefully examined the outsider before him.

White hair in a ponytail, and those brilliant golden eyes like the blazing sun....

It wasn't him.

This Xuan Ge was not the one he knew.

His old friend had black hair and golden eyes, and though he also liked to tie his hair in a ponytail, this person before him was ultimately not him.

"Xuan means deep and restrained, Ge means soaring ambition; it is a good name."

Zhongli interpreted the name with a hint of nostalgia, then continued, "Mr. Xuan Ge, since you have just arrived here, you surely need a guide."

"Don't call me sir." Xuan Ge waved his hand, "Since you claim to be a god, have you ever heard of someone named Xuan Ge?"

Hearing this question, Zhongli fell silent.

"The name Xuan Ge, I do have an impression of it, but I fear it cannot be compared to you, sir."

He pondered for a moment, then spoke of the Xuan Ge from back then who caused chaos in the military affairs and raised troops to rebel.

But he did not think this Xuan Ge before him was here to find his Godly Might General.

After all, the difference in strength between the two was truly too great.

One was the pinnacle of mortals, while this one... was an existence that even the Shadow Archon in the heavens dared not easily descend to speak with.

Hearing this answer, Xuan Ge frowned slightly.

This shouldn't be.

Since the great hand of causality had exerted force to drag him here, it hinted that there must be something related to him here.

Moreover, the architectural style of this place was extremely similar to the Xian Zhou, although it was backward by a tiny bit, but causality would absolutely not deceive him.

Just as Xuan Ge wanted to continue questioning Zhongli about who that Xuan Ge in his mouth actually was, a lively and cute voice suddenly interrupted.

"Zhongli Zhongli! How come you're here!"

A girl with black-brown twin tails, bare legs, and a black round hat bounced over running.

Xuan Ge's gaze was instantly attracted, and he subconsciously activated auto-aim to scan the lively girl's....

When he discovered the other party was a Grand Sage, his gaze easily moved to the girl's face.

Zhongli keenly caught the fleeting subtle change in Xuan Ge's eyes, and thought of something pensively.

Only then did he speak to respond to that girl.

"Hall Master, why did you come?"

"Ai ya, the Rite of Descension is about to start, and you're still here doing...."

Hu Tao's words abruptly stopped.

The moment she saw Xuan Ge's face, she immediately took a step forward to protect Zhongli in front of her.

Then she pointed at Xuan Ge, stammering slightly as she shouted, "You you... you you you are the Godly Might Great General!?"

"Oh!" Xuan Ge's eyes lit up violently.

It seemed causality did not deceive him; this place indeed had news about his 'self'.

He immediately asked, "Little girl, who is the Godly Might General of this place?"

Seeing Xuan Ge's reaction, Zhongli was also not very calm.

But he still decided to continue observing, after all, this matter concerned the Seven Nations and the Gods, as well as... Xianyun.

"Huh? You don't know Godly Might?"

Hu Tao saw the white-haired handsome man before her with an eager look, and thought he was a descendant of the Godly Might General.

But after thinking again....

The Godly Might General back then caused chaos in military affairs, raised troops to rebel, slaughtered his way through the Seven Nations all the way, attempting to become the emperor who unified the world.

But in the end he was killed by the Gods joining forces; having descendants would be seeing a ghost.

"... Uh, I don't know."

Xuan Ge answered this question somewhat awkwardly, after all, he himself was the Xian Zhou's Great General Godly Might, and was also precisely the Godly Might Emperor.

"Oh no, then I'll have to...."

Hu Tao's Peach Blossom Eyes turned, and she decisively tossed this hot potato to Zhongli.

"Then I'll have Guest Elder Zhongli explain it to you properly!"

The matter of the Godslaying General is too complex, and belongs to the Seven Nations' taboos; if I misspeak by even half a sentence, I fear I'll be dragged away for interrogation.

This kind of thing is best left to Zhongli, after all he is profoundly learned, steady and mature in character, a walking encyclopedia in the flesh.

"Mm." Zhongli agreed to the matter.

Since Xuan Ge had shown such an expression just now, he decided to probe him personally.

See whether this Xuan Ge has any relation to his old friend.

"Hehe, the talk is done, so come watch the Rite of Descension with us." Hu Tao greeted this white-haired handsome fellow with familiar ease.

"The Rite of Descension...?" Xuan Ge was somewhat reluctant to go watch.

Because the so-called Rite of Descension would most likely summon the one before his eyes... Morax.

Seeing Xuan Ge's meaningful gaze, Zhongli's face showed no ripple, merely raising his hand to invite Xuan Ge with composure.

"Regarding the Godslaying General, though this is a Seven Nations taboo, his character and deeds cannot be hidden; how about I tell you in detail on the way?"

"Very well." Xuan Ge accepted the invitation.

"I hope Mr. Zhongli can explain it to me properly."

Zhongli heard the meaning behind his words, and merely smiled faintly.

And Xuan Ge, seeing Zhongli's smile, for some reason always felt a kind of indescribable strangeness.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

Hu Tao sidled up to this white-haired handsome fellow and began introducing herself openly.

"I'm Hu Tao, the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Speaking, she snapped her fingers with a crack and produced something like a coupon.

"Come, take it. Today is the Rock King Lord's Rite of Descension, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has a special sale; if you need anything, come find me, buy one get one free!"

Hu Tao stuffed the coupon into his hand.

And Xuan Ge, looking at Hu Tao's radiant smile, instinctively took it.

"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor..." He looked down at the words on the coupon, "So it's funeral services."

"Hey, aren't you surprised?" Hu Tao was somewhat curious.

If it were someone else, after taking it they'd already throw it back with a look of disdain.

But this person before her seemed quite interested.

"Hehe, the price is still a bit low." Xuan Ge carefully put away the coupon, treating it as a memento.

Then he looked at this lively girl and spoke his name.

"I am Xuan Ge. Perhaps, I happen to share a name with that Godslaying General you speak of."

Hu Tao blinked, "How did you know I was going to say that?"

"The moment you spaced out just now, it was written all over your face."

Xuan Ge smiled, and glanced at Zhongli, who stood silently by his side and had been observing him in secret all along.

"Oh my, not only do you look alike, your names are so similar too."

Hu Tao tilted her head and thought for a moment, still feeling she should say this.

"You wouldn't be a transmigrator, would you."

Footsteps, both stopping at the same time.

Zhongli and Xuan Ge stopped their footsteps at the same time, simultaneously turning to look at Hu Tao.

Zhongli quietly mobilized his authority, beginning to rapidly check Hu Tao's condition.

And Xuan Ge looked at this little girl with great surprise.

This brat, could she be March 7th possessing someone?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

After confirming Hu Tao had not been possessed by one of the four Archons above, Zhongli then asked: "Director, what do you mean by this?"

"Tsk tsk." Hu Tao put her hands on her hips, striking a pose of someone who knows the ropes.

"I observe this gentleman, his bearing is extraordinary, and he gives a feeling of... being high and above, like an emperor."

Then, she spread her hands.

"After all, Zhongli, you know too, there are countless fanfictions about the Godslaying General in the Seven Nations, the bans can't ban them all."

"Let alone this handsome fellow with the same name and same appearance."
