Genshin Impact: Compared with Traveler, Yingmei collapsed

Chapter 43 This generation of Seven Stars is good, but what about the next generation?

Soon, Lin Chen and Paimon found Zhongli and Wendy waiting for them under a tree.

Zhongli stood there with his arms folded, looking normal, while Wendy squatted beside him, grinning, with her cheeks puffed up as if she had been punched.

Seeing this, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and walked forward to jokingly say,”Bafeng, did you fall?”

“Oh, yes!”

Wendy rubbed his face and nodded,”You don’t know, I didn’t pay attention and fell on a stone. Fortunately, the fall was not serious, otherwise my face would be disfigured!”

Paimon saw that he said it so seriously, looked at him worriedly and found something wrong.

But Paimon didn’t think much about it, but said:”You can cure it, right?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, just take it as a lesson, let me be more careful when I walk next time.” Wendy waved her hand

“Traveler……”Zhongli spoke at the right time

“To make the wild glass lilies more fragrant, we need to sing… Don’t we have someone here who has learned to sing in Mondstadt?”

Lin Chen looked at Wendy, and the meaning was self-evident.

Wendy was stunned and looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, as if asking: Am I not here to watch the fun? Do I have to work too? No one pays me?

“Please, Mr. Baphomet, the amazing one.”Paimon understood Lin Chen’s expression and immediately cooperated. He put his hands together and bowed devoutly.

Wendy saw that it had come to this point, so he could only sigh and look at the three glass lilies on the ground.

Wendy knew at a glance that this thing was a fake flower, but no one reminded him.

【[Funina]: I can see that it’s very difficult to pretend

【Tevarin]: Cheat the flower, jump up and hit him!

【Wendy: Which side are you from?

“Listen carefully……”

Wendy took a step back without leaving a trace before clearing her throat.

Lin Chen and the others were listening on the side. It must be said that Wendy’s singing was really something.

In just a moment, three blue and white cheating flowers emerged from the ground.

Lin Chen was shocked, Paimeng was horrified, Zhongli was startled, and Wendy ran away.

“”Cheating Flowers?!”

After a flash of green sword light, three cheating flowers died. Lin Chen said with lingering fear:”Fortunately, Mr. Bafeng was not hurt.”

“Yes, it was too thrilling.” Zhongli agreed.

Paimeng had a strange look on his face, his eyes moving between the three people, she always felt that something was not right.

But she really didn’t expect that these three glass lilies were actually deceptive flowers!

“It’s a blessing in disguise.” Zhongli took a look and said,”These petals have been buried with the Prank Flower for too long. Instead, they have become very good medicinal materials. Let’s collect them.”

“Can it be used in the Immortal Sending Ceremony?” Paimon asked

“Unfortunately, no.” Zhongli shook his head.

At this moment

“Excuse me…are you looking for Liuli Lily?”

Paimeng turned his head, took a closer look and said to Lin Chen,”She looks familiar, who is she?”

“Miss Ganyu. Lin Chen nodded and greeted Ganyu.

“Mr. Lin Chen. Ganyu also nodded.

Several people started chatting, and inevitably talked about the fall of the Rock God.

Zhongli asked Ganyu some questions, asking her what she thought about the fall of the Rock Emperor and the future without the Emperor.

Lin Chen and Paimon looked at the side strangely.

Lin Chen turned his head and glanced at Wendy. Because he was blessed by Wendy’s power, he could feel the imperceptible power coming out of Wendy at this moment. He was covering himself. Was he afraid that Ganyu would recognize him?

Ganyu was present at the gathering of the Seven Gods two thousand years ago…

Lin Chen thought about it and found that Wendy blinked at him and signaled Zhongli with her eyes.

Lin Chen nodded silently. He had already guessed about Zhongli’s identity. After all , Wendy’s behavior was very strange.

Before that, Wendy’s injury must not have been caused by a fall, and he was with Zhongli. If Zhongli was just an immortal, he would never dare to hit Wendy. After all, there was a gap in status. If they were not enemies, this behavior would be an act of usurpation.

And if Zhongli was the God of Geo, then it would be very reasonable.

Paimeng didn’t think so much, mainly because her brain didn’t allow her to think so deeply, but she chatted with Ganyu.

After learning about Ganyu’s bloodline, everyone didn’t think it was strange.

Finally, Ganyu gave everyone a wild colored lily.

“I feel like Zhongli is the type of person who is very suitable for pioneering new lands.”Paimeng said with emotion

“I have indeed had such an experience before.”

Zhongli nodded slightly:”Starting a business, opening up new land… Everything is difficult at the beginning, and a lot of emotions are invested. When everything is running normally, over time, the emotions will gradually wear out. When the wear is too much, you have to re-examine yourself. If you don’t handle it carefully, your soul will be left with cracks that can’t be replaced.”

“This tone of voice is obviously someone who has been through it.” Paimeng nodded, turned to Lin Chen and said,”No wonder Zhongli has no concept of money, he must have been a very wealthy man in the past, right?”

Lin Chen smiled and did not comment.

“Traveler, do you have time to chat alone?” Zhongli looked at Lin Chen.

“Eh?” Paimon was confused.

“Paimon, stay with me for a moment.” Wendy waved.

“All right.” Paimeng nodded helplessly.

After Lin Chen and Zhongli walked side by side to a distance, Zhongli stopped and looked at Lin Chen and said:”After all this time, I believe your eyes have seen through the layers of fog and pointed directly to the truth, right?”

“It’s not that exaggerated.”

Lin Chen shook his head and said,”But I still have doubts. Why did you choose to fake your death, which has so many loopholes?”

“Well… when the kingdom that walks with God suddenly loses its god, it will panic and be at a loss… but in the end, will it be able to regain its confidence and move towards the next era?”

“The age of immortals is fading away, and the age of humans is coming… Keqing and Ningguang said that the Seven Stars must face this… Ganyu said something similar, but because of her own identity, she is actually hesitating… As for the people in Liyue Harbor… I don’t know.”

Lin Chen shook his head and continued:”But no matter what, we can’t immerse ourselves in the past. Time is moving forward, and the times are moving forward. People can’t stay where they are.”

Zhongli put his hands behind his back, his eyes looked far away in the direction of Liyue Harbor, and slowly said:”Yes, back then……”

Zhongli started from when he sheltered the first human being until now.

“Wear and tear is a terrible thing. I am slowly wearing and tearing now… Once I become dull and my soul has more cracks, it will be like an old person whose thinking is no longer as good as that of a young person.”Zhongli said

“Is this why you are accelerating the arrival of rule by man?”

“Not entirely.”

Zhongli shook his head and said,”Before the Demon God War ended, the Demon God’s duty was to love and guide mankind… After the world was divided into seven kingdoms, the seven kingdoms were ruled by seven gods. Now the operation of Liyue Harbor no longer requires my concern. In this case, why not put down the burden and return the power of mankind to mankind? After all, our era is becoming history, and my duty should have been completed.”

“People are facing the departure of the age of immortals, and immortals including me should also face the arrival of the age of humans… This is inevitable. The views from thousands of years ago are no longer suitable for this era, are they not?”

“To put it simply, you just want to retire, right?”

“However, you think the Seven Stars of this generation are good, but what about the next generation? Can you guarantee that the Seven Stars of each generation will be the same as them?”

Zhongli was silent for a while and then said,”I can’t guarantee it, but after everything is over, I will tell the Seven Stars the truth.”

“I can understand that you are tired from thousands of years of work, and I can understand your eagerness to relax after completing your duties… but I think you need one more thing.”

Zhongli did not speak, waiting for the next step.

Lin Chen said:”You should not only tell the current Seven Stars that you are still alive, but also tell the future Seven Stars. It is very important that you tell them in person. In this way, you are like a sword hanging in the air. You, who only have the power of supervision, can also secretly support this child and make him more and more stable, right? Don’t rush to refuse. Do you know the Lawrence family of Mond? They……”

Zhongli couldn’t help but ponder after hearing this.

He really couldn’t guarantee that every future generation of Seven Stars would be like the current Seven Stars. After all, human desires were infinitely expanding. But if he lived in the eyes of the Seven Stars, just by retiring and living in seclusion… then the people of the future wouldn’t follow the old path of the Lawrence family!

“”I’ve learned your lesson.” Zhongli said solemnly.

PS: Damn it, there’s a power outage! I’m using my sister’s notebook to write now. Sorry everyone, it should be repaired in two hours. I won’t ask for leave or anything. I have to finish writing the update somehow. If I really can’t help it, I’d better go to an internet cafe where there is electricity to write!
