Chapter 881

Guest Zhongli exclaimed in surprise.

"Xianyun? My adeptal name is Cloud Retainer."

Cloud Retainer asked, puzzled.

"It is rare to see you so distracted, my lord."

"Could it be because of Guizhong?"

Moon Carver appeared behind Guest Zhongli and spoke.

"Guizhong?"

Upon hearing these two words, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Guest Zhongli's mind, and he recalled many things.

"The gods are at war, and the flames of battle are rising in Guili Plains."

"Are we on our way to reinforce Guili Plains?"

Guest Zhongli rested his forehead on one hand and murmured.

"That is exactly so." Cloud Retainer nodded, then said with some hesitation:

"My lord, are you... perhaps too exhausted from the previous battle?"

"Too exhausted... perhaps." Guest Zhongli's gaze sharpened as he looked ahead: "Let us go, pick up the pace, everyone."

As he finished speaking, just as Guest Zhongli was about to move, the surrounding environment shifted once more.

Guest Zhongli felt a momentary daze, and before his eyes appeared the scene of Guizhong battling other gods.

Guizhong discovered Guest Zhongli and his party arriving, and a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

However, she also revealed a flaw because of this.

The enemy god saw this opening and immediately launched a fatal strike at Guizhong.

Seeing this, Guest Zhongli's heart trembled violently, and the scene of her death, leaving only the remains of her body, surfaced involuntarily in his mind.

Subconsciously, Guest Zhongli invoked the power of the Path within his body, combined it with Geo energy, and summoned a massive Geo spear, hurling it toward the enemy god.

At the same time, in the outside world.

Guest Zhongli summoned a massive Geo spear and hurled it toward March 7th and the others.

A loud boom was heard.

The Geo spear landed on the ground, and it actually formed a small mountain.

【Hanxue: This is... a Geo spear?】

【Yixuan: Did Guest Zhongli steal this technique from the Geo Archon?】

【Wanyan: C-could it be?!】

【Venti: An interesting scene has occurred, ehe.】

【Furina: As expected, will it turn out like this?】

【Nahida:...】

【Chongyun: So... so strong, he actually smashed a small hill right onto the ground of the Luofu Xianzhou?】

【Miss Beidou: The consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor actually possesses such strength?】

【Dehya: An ordinary person wouldn't be able to unleash such power, right?

Guest Zhongli must have unleashed the power of the Light Cone, right?】

【Candace: That possibility is not non-existent. However, the power contained within the Light Cone "Texture of Memories" is purely defensive; is there really a human who can apply this power to an attack?】

【Kaveh: Not a human? Could this Guest Zhongli actually be an adeptus of Liyue?

Hmm... it seems that possibility isn't zero; it's possible for Liyue's adepti to descend to the mortal realm and live among humans.】

Begging for flowers.

【Alhaitham: If adepti can descend, then is it possible for gods to descend as well?】

【Kaveh: Hmm? Alhaitham, are you suggesting that Guest Zhongli is the Geo Archon?】

【Alhaitham: Let's keep watching.】

【Tartaglia: Guest Zhongli is truly not simple; I have misjudged him.】

【Tartaglia: If this small hill were placed on the continent of Teyvat, wouldn't it directly become another Guyun Stone Forest? I wonder if Osial was startled when he saw this scene.】

【Osial: Human, are you courting death?】

【Beisht: Husband, that Guest Zhongli, is it possible he really is Morax?】

【Osial:... Perhaps.】

【Yixuan: No, it can't be, is Guest Zhongli actually the Geo Archon?】

【Hanxue: Impossible, absolutely impossible.】

【Miss Beidou: The Geo Archon incarnated as a mortal to work as a consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? If this is true, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business will explode in popularity later.】

【Xingqiu: Even the deceased would probably hope to have their funeral affairs presided over by the Geo Archon.

But if Guest Zhongli is truly the Geo Archon, will he still go to work at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor after he returns to Liyue?】

【Wanyan: Even the god Osial has said as much; perhaps Guest Zhongli really is the Geo Archon!】

Wanyan looked deeply at Guest Zhongli on the forum, her brows tightly furrowed.

Thinking that the God of Salt she worshipped might have met that end because of the Guest Zhongli before her—that is, the god Morax—Wanyan's fists clenched involuntarily.

"Geo Archon... Morax!!!"

Wanyan gritted her teeth and murmured.

………………

"Morax, thank you."

"Come to think of it, has your power increased?"

Guizhong looked at the god who had been smashed to death by Morax's Geo spear and said with emotion.

"Indeed, the Geo Archon's strength is even more formidable than before."

Streetward Rambler flew down beside Morax and nodded in agreement.

"Now is not the time to rest; new enemies have arrived."

Cloud Retainer stood to the side, looking at the sky with a serious expression.

"W-when, why are there so many gods?"

Guizhong looked at the numerous gods that had suddenly appeared and said worriedly.

"Are those... Osial and his wife?"

"Aren't they gods of the sea? Why have they come to land?"

Guest Zhongli looked at the many gods before him and murmured in confusion.

Apart from Osial, he felt an unusual familiarity with the other gods as well.

It was as if he had fought against them before.

"Fought against them? Why would I have such a thought?"

Guest Zhongli muttered to himself, instinctively sensing something unusual.

However, before he could ponder it carefully, the numerous enemy gods had already begun to gather their strength.

In an instant, a terrifying, murderous pressure enveloped Guizhong, Streetward Rambler, and the others.

"My lord, this is not good."

Streetward Rambler said with a tightly furrowed brow.

"Do not worry, I will..."

Before Guest Zhongli could finish his sentence, the surrounding scenery shifted once again.

Guest Zhongli frowned, looked up, and was shocked to find that the adepti who had followed him were already injured and fallen, and Guizhong was the same.

"How can this be? What happened?"

Guest Zhongli murmured.

"My lord, it is we who have held you back, I apologize."

Streetward Rambler coughed up a mouthful of blood and said.

"Morax, thank you for coming."

"But let it be."

"While there is still a chance, take everyone and leave."

"I will cover your retreat."

Guizhong stood up from the ground, clutching her abdomen, and looked at the gods ahead with a firm gaze. ===== CHAPTER 882 =====
