"Uncle, which one are you doing here?"
On Tianheng Mountain, Ruoling and Zhongli sat side by side, overlooking Liyue Port.
Zhong Li's appearance not only confused the people of Liyue, but also confused Ruo Ling.
In the game, Zhongli retired from the god position by suspended animation, but now the unfolding has completely deviated from the plot of the game.
"Could it be that my arrival triggered a change in plot?" Ruo Ling pinched her chin in thought.
Zhong Li turned his head to look at Ruo Ling beside him.
Ruoling was the daughter of Jota, his descendant, and his chosen heir.
Therefore, for Ruoling, he is willing to be a little more patient, and he is also willing to tell Ruoling some of his insights and ideas.
This is actually a teaching.
Faced with Ruoling's question, Zhongli told her the story of a brave man.
"This is a story from an Inazuma light novel that I came across by accident."
The background of the story is an era of war.
The Demon King led the Demon Race to attack the human kingdom, plunging the continent into war and putting mankind at peace.
Therefore, the Terrans chose the strongest among the human beings [Brave] to fight the Demon King.
The brave endured thousands of dangers, and finally killed the demon king, defeated the demon race, and brought long-term peace to the human race.
The brave have great power and a long life.
It stands to reason that the brave are heroes, and his exploits should be remembered by mankind forever.
But the reality is that when the demon race is no longer a threat, the brave with distant lives and great power begin to be feared.
People are afraid that with his great power, he will become the next demon king.
And after thousands of years, the heart of the brave cannot escape wear.
The mission of the brave is to protect mankind, and in times of peace, the brave are not needed.
He felt empty, he felt fearful, he felt abandoned.
He remembers feeling needed and embraced during the war.
In the end, the brave degenerates into the demon king.
He secretly supports the Demon Race, making the Demon Race come back and launch an attack on humans.
In the war, he fulfilled his mission again, he was once again supported, he was needed again, and he became a brave man once again embraced by all people.
It is his mission to protect humanity, and if he is not needed in peacetime, then it is up to him to create chaos so that humanity needs him again.
......
On Tianheng Mountain, Zhong Li's story was finished, and Ruo Ling fell silent.
She could hear that the [brave] in the story actually represented Zhongli.
"But Uncle, your achievements to Liyue are known to the world, and the people of Liyue will not fear your power like the Terrans in the story."
Zhong Li listened, but only smiled faintly.
"Maybe it's just that the time hasn't come?"
"With the advancement of the times, mankind will one day be able to completely replace the gods, and by then, will mankind still need gods?"
"I brought Liyue from the flames of the Demon God War to the current prosperous world, and I have been wondering if my mission as a [Brave] has been completed."
"Of course, I want to believe in my people, and I want to believe that even the day when I am no longer needed, they will still have respect for me."
"But it is not my people that I am worried about, but myself."
Zhong Li looked at Ruo Ling, as if an elder was teaching his juniors.
"Over time, various changes have occurred, resulting in a change in mentality, and the original intention is no longer there, which is wear."
"As long as time passes, as long as the mind is moving, no one escapes wear."
"Ruoling, you have to understand one thing."
"Being in a high position means you're going to see more than anyone else."
"Treachery, mutual calculation, unkindness and filial piety, destruction of stigma, harm to others for self-interest, murder of theft and adultery..."
"The birth and perfection of every law represents the occurrence of a sin.
"I am the Emperor of Yanwang, who has sheltered Liyue for more than 3,700 years, and I have read all over the floating world."
"Sitting in my position, I can see more of the dark side of humanity than anyone can imagine."
"As God, as ruler, as ruler of rules and laws, we are destined to fight the dark side of humanity at all times."
"I have fought the ugliness of mankind for 3,700 years, but I still love mankind and this country."
"But today's words on the Yujing stage triggered my thinking."
"Has my mission been accomplished? Can I really protect the country of Liyue forever?
Zhongli looked down at his palm.
"After 3,700 years of fighting the ugliness of mankind, although I still love mankind, although my original intention has not changed, I know that one day, I will also be worn out by the ugliness of mankind."
"Perhaps one day, I will also forget my original intention, and become disgusted with human beings due to the ugly influence of thousands of years of human beings."
"Lately I have become overwhelmed, and I realize that perhaps one day, like your father, I will also become misogynistic and aim my butcher's knife at the kingdom and people I once guarded."
"I have no nostalgia for the position of the rock god, and if my mission is over, then I should bravely embark on the road to leave."
"But before leaving, I need to see if this child named Liyue has grown up and has the ability to be independent."
"So I gave them 10 years."
"Uncle..."
Ruo Ling's expression was complicated, she thought that as a player, she already knew Zhongli well enough.
But only now, after hearing Zhong Li's words, did she really understand what her uncle was carrying.
"Uncle, trust your people, they will not let you down!"
Ruo Ling smiled.
"Hmm."
Zhong Li bowed his head slightly, no longer speaking, just silently overlooking this country sheltered by himself, this prosperous port.
Ruo Ling also stopped talking, but silently accompanied Zhong Li.
But in fact, Zhong Li still had one more thing he didn't tell Ruo Ling.
He regarded Ruoling as a junior and loved Ruoling very much.
If the spiritual ambition is simply to have fun and live happily, then it is nothing.
But since Ruoling's ambition is to become a new generation of rock gods, then he must be cautious.
In Zhong Li's view, strength, wisdom, and intrigue, these things can be supplemented by time and acquired efforts, and they are not important.
The only thing he values is character.
To become a god, the most important thing is character, and the character of a god will determine the future of a kingdom.
Ruo Ling Nai is the daughter of the Dragon King of Ruoda, and she has received both the teachings of the goodness of the white Ruoda and the vicious brainwashing of the black Ruoda.
If she just wanted to be a carefree immortal, then Zhongli would go with her.
But since she wanted to be a rock god, he had to create an opportunity to observe.
He needs to observe the character of the Ruoling and see if the Ruoling is affected by the evil thoughts of the black-clad Ruota.
Observe if Ruo Ling's heart lurks the idea of wanting to harm Liyue.
Observe whether the spirit possesses the qualities to become a god.
These, he must create an opportunity to involve Ruo Ling in the whirlpool of chaos, taking the opportunity to observe and test.
This is what he must do as a contemporary rock god.
He is the Emperor of Yanwang, and he must be responsible for Liyue.
This is also his usual calm style.
