Chapter 34 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony

In the last chapter, Tianhe went back to the master bedroom, had a little intimacy with Youla, and then fell asleep, waiting for the next day's ceremony to invite the immortals. He didn't know what Zhongli was thinking, but he guessed that there would be an uninvited guest, because he felt that there was a chance that Kong would take this opportunity to find him.

Abyss Cult, Kong wanted to meet Tianhe more and more. From the subordinates of the Abyss Cult, she learned that Tianhe was in a rented house near Chihu Rock in Liyue Harbor. He would participate in Liyue's Immortal Invitation Ceremony tomorrow. "Tianhe, hehehe, I'm coming to find you." Kong's feelings for Tianhe became stronger and stronger. Well, she was going to find Tianhe at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony now.

Sora really didn't know what Morax had been doing during this time, but she always felt that something bad would happen to her this time. She knew that she couldn't beat Tenri, and she didn't know if she would attract Tenri's attention if she acted rashly. Although Tenri hadn't appeared for a long time, she couldn't afford to take the risk. If Tenri suddenly appeared, she might be sealed again.

Now Kong has a mentality: I have fought for the Abyss Cult for hundreds of years, can't I take a break and take this opportunity to find Tianhe? As long as she doesn't cause trouble, at least he has to meet Tianhe, because her favorability of 100 means that he has recovered a memory, and the beautiful future memory of getting along with Tianhe makes Kong unable to extricate himself for a long time. It's like a dream. After waking up from the dream, Kong finds it difficult to accept that he has lost Tianhe, so he can't wait to set off.

The next morning, Tianhe woke up and found Youla had disappeared. Instead, there was breakfast on the table covered with a lid to keep it warm. Tianhe knew that this was made by Youla herself. After eating and drinking, Tianhe left the cave and went to Yujingtai to witness this ceremony of inviting the immortals, which might be the last one.

There were crowds of people around Yujing Terrace, but Tianhe also quickly entered the interior of Yujing Terrace. He would not squeeze in randomly, but found a place to stop, and then saw Yuhengxing Keqing's heroic and vigorous appearance. She also walked in from outside Yujing Terrace, but Keqing also saw Tianhe in the crowd, and then ran to his side, pulled him, and under the escort of Qianyan Army, came to the interior of the invitation ceremony venue.

In front of her is a huge incense burner. Keqing witnessed the arrival of Geo King this year and listened to Geo King's summary of the year and plans for the next year. After that, she can also ask Geo King a question.

Tianhe was right next to Keqing at this moment. Amid the envious eyes of others, he was brought by the Jade Star to the place closest to the ceremony of inviting the immortals. Keqing checked the time and shouted in a serious voice: "The auspicious time has arrived! Welcome the Emperor!"

Then he used a lightning elemental force to light up the incense burner, which turned into a purple light that rushed into the sky. At this time, the Rock King also appeared. Of course, he also saw the Milky Way not far from Keqing, but only he knew what he was thinking. He said, "As the Rock King of Liyue, I have guarded it for more than 3,700 years. I am very happy. The development of Liyue can be as prosperous as it is today, all thanks to the people of Liyue."

The Emperor first praised her, then looked in the direction of Tianhe under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then changed the subject, "Some time ago, I met a traveler from another world. He introduced me to a country from another world and pointed out the existing country in Liyue. What do you think, my friend?" Tianhe couldn't believe that he was actually sold out by that guy Zhongli, but he didn't dare to refute him in public, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Liyue. He had to come to Keqing under the gaze of everyone.

Looking at Tianhe standing in front of the stage, Emperor Rock King seemed to smile and nodded. He said: "This traveler explained many aspects to me, proving that humans have their own heritage. Perhaps it is time for God to let go of this country that walks with God. After all, I am tired~" At this point, Emperor Rock King sighed silently. Yes, he has spent more than 3,700 years for Liyue. This kind of tiredness is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Then He looked in the direction of Keqing, and Keqing also said something extremely treasonous. She said slowly: "The Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?" In the eyes of the people of Liyue, this was simply treasonous, and the people below were about to discuss it.

Then she changed the subject and spoke from the bottom of her heart to the Emperor, saying sincerely: "This is what I thought before, but this traveler told me that Liyue needs the Emperor and cannot do without the Emperor. It is Liyue that needs the Emperor, not the Emperor who needs Liyue. There were many things I couldn't do before, but these things can be easily solved in front of the Emperor. I was too ignorant before, so I want to apologize to the Emperor here, I'm sorry!" All the Liyue people in the venue saw this young Yuhengxing sincerely apologize for her previous ignorance in her own way in the direction of Emperor Yanwang.

The Rock King did not expect that this Yuheng Star Keqing would come up with a preface, first describing her initial recognition of human rule, and then borrowing the previous conversation between Tianhe and her to express her apologies to the Rock King. "Well, there will be no more immortal ceremony in the future. I want to formally announce my retirement here. But I believe in the Seven Stars of Liyue, and I also believe that the people of Liyue can create a more prosperous Liyue in the future. I will continue to walk in Liyue as a mortal, and you don't have to miss me."

Tianhe felt that Lord Rock King was looking at him again, and He said in a serious voice: "My little friend Tianhe, he will help Liyue to continue to develop in the future. From now on, seeing him is like seeing me. He is the next Lord Rock King I have appointed! So ~ goodbye." After Lord Rock King said this, he felt relieved and relaxed. He obviously felt relieved to have put down the responsibility of more than 3,700 years.

Everyone saw the majestic figure of the Geo King gradually disappear in the sky, which also announced that the ancient demon god had officially announced his retirement in Liyue. He also became the first of the Seven Rulings of the Midgard to retire on the continent of Teyvat, far ahead of the other Seven Rulings of the Midgard.

However, the Emperor's last words at this moment made Tianhe feel like he was being roasted on the fire, because the Emperor recognized his supreme leadership position in Liyue. But he is a traveler! Tianhe had to make his attitude clear here, "Well, before this, I was just an ordinary alien traveler. But I did sign a last contract with the Emperor before he retired. In the future, I will provide necessary assistance for the development of Liyue, and I will personally help Liyue when it is in trouble." Tianhe felt that after saying this, the eyes of the audience turned from the dullness when the Emperor left to expectations for him, and some even worshipped him. The Emperor is not often seen, but this young man can see it.

Tianhe himself did not expect that Zhongli played this trick on him before leaving, and he became the next "Emperor's Successor"? Not far away, the Fatui executive princess Dadalia watched her good friend Tianhe become the next Emperor appointed by the Rock King. Her mission to Liyue was indeed to obtain the Heart of God for the Ice Queen at all costs, but she did not see the Rock King give the Heart of God to him. However, she would ask Tianhe when she went to spar with him later.

Keqing didn't expect that the Emperor recognized Tianhe very much and personally appointed him as the future supreme leader of Liyue. Tianhe suddenly became the boss of all the seven stars of Liyue. This made her originally fight for the ownership of Tianhe with Ningguang in the future and let him be her assistant. Who would dare to let their boss be their assistant? Isn't this just thinking too much for themselves?

However, Tianhe is not arrogant, he is kind, gentle, easy-going and knowledgeable. The only bad thing is that he has had contact with many women in Liyue, but these women will have a certain social influence in the future. "Congratulations, congratulations, then what should I call you now? The descendant of the emperor? The Emperor of Rock?"

"Aren't we friends? I told you we can call each other by our names. We are comrades from now on, Keqing." Tianhe then extended his hand to her. Keqing shook the hand without thinking too much, nodded, and smiled at Tianhe. "Well, we are friends. Please give me more advice in the future, Tianhe, hehe."

There was a cute pink-haired girl in the audience wearing Fontaine reporter uniform. Trainee reporter Charlotte took a picture of this scene and then made a first-hand report to Steambird Newspaper. The report was sent back to Fontaine at the fastest speed. It was titled "Witness History! The alien traveler became the emperor's appointed successor and shook hands with the contemporary Yuhengxing here - the last ceremony of inviting the immortals in Liyue". This also made Charlotte sigh that she wanted to see the ceremony of inviting the immortals before to see if she could report on it this year. Other reporters scoffed at this, but unexpectedly, she was the only reporter from Fontaine to witness the last ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Facts have proved that Charlotte came to the right place. Later, she was nominated for the highest award in the Fontaine journalism industry - the Pulitzer Prize for this first-hand report. And if nothing unexpected happens, she will also officially win this year's Pulitzer Prize. After all, no event can be bigger than the retirement of the God of Rock and the appointment of a traveler from another world as the successor of the Emperor. Not to mention that there has been no precedent, there will be no successor.

However, Charlotte decided to stay in Liyue for a while longer. She had a hunch that there would be new news in the near future, which would be enough to make her famous and also allow her to have a bond with the descendant of the Emperor named Tianhe. But that is another story for later.

As for what happened after the ceremony of inviting the immortals, what kind of story will Tianhe have with this trainee reporter Charlotte? How will Kong intervene in the future? Let's listen to the author's explanation next time!
