But the next second.
Zhongli seemed to sense something and sat back down in his seat. "It seems I can't leave today."
"What do you mean?" Hu Tao asked back.
"Nothing, you go busy yourself."
While speaking, Zhongli had already notified the Liyue Qixing (Liyue Seven Stars) through a secret method.
Because this time, not only one person had come, but the others were also very strong.
Zhongli was not afraid, but he needed to consider everyone living in Liyue.
"How strange, I'm really not leaving today."
"I want to see what you're up to."
Hu Tao simply sat on the long chair as well and waited quietly.
After a while.
The surrounding space suddenly rippled, and then a rift appeared.
Lin Che appeared here out of thin air with Baalzebul and the two others.
"I didn't expect our second meeting to come so quickly."
Zhongli got up from the chair and spoke first.
"Mainly, I'm craving and want to try the fine wine you mentioned last time."
"At the same time, I also want to ask you again, are you willing to join us?"
Lin Che pulled up a chair and sat down, minding his own business.
Meanwhile, Baalzebul, Yae Miko, and the other two stood obediently behind Lin Che.
"Liyue does not need to join any force; its current existence is enough."
"They are quite happy right now, and I don't want to break this moment of peace."
Zhongli slowly shook his head.
Liyue was created by him, and he personally watched Liyue reach its current state through the long river of history.
It was like his own child.
Although some might not agree with the path taken, Zhongli believed it was the correct one.
"Since that's the case, I'll show you something."
Lin Che already knew the timeline he was currently in.
Therefore, he had long prepared the projection magic he would use this time.
Without any hesitation.
Lin Che raised his hand and fully released the condensed projection magic.
The projection magic began to play.
Both Zhongli and Hu Tao, who was beside him, shifted their gaze to the screen.
As for Lin Che, he leisurely brewed tea, waiting patiently.
Baalzebul and Yae Miko, perhaps out of curiosity, also stepped forward to watch.
'After watching this video, even Zhongli will be shaken.'
Lin Che took a sip of tea.
Time gradually flowed away through his fingers.
Soon, the projection magic floating in mid-air finally ended.
After watching, Zhongli and Hu Tao did not speak immediately, but instead fell into silence.
But Lin Che was not in a hurry.
This little bit of time was nothing to him.
After about another minute or two.
Zhongli finally spoke, saying, "Regarding this matter, I have known about it for a long time."
"After all, it was a contract made from the beginning; I will not forget."
The screen showed the scene of the Fatui coming to claim the god's heart.
Of course, part of it was Lin Che's fabrication.
For example, the Fatui descending upon Liyue to destroy it, and so on.
Although it was fake, in Lin Che's opinion, it could be considered a white lie.
"What contract?"
"Why do I not quite understand?! Is that future scene real or fake?"
Hu Tao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, her face full of confusion.
This sudden turn of events left Hu Tao completely bewildered.
"You should still focus on managing the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."
"I didn't have time to ask just now, who are these three?"
Zhongli's gaze fell upon Baalzebul and the others behind Lin Che.
Although he could sense the aura of old friends from them.
Their appearances were different, so Zhongli did not immediately call out their names to ask.
"This is the current Raiden Shogun of Inazuma, Baalzebul, and this one next to her is Yae Miko of Narukami Shrine."
"The last one is Kamisato Ayaka, known as the White Heron Princess of the Kamisato house."
Lin Che introduced them to Zhongli one by one, and also explained what had happened in Inazuma.
Actually, to complete this ultimate mission.
Lin Che had a better method, which was to directly kill the Tsaritsa.
Destroy the Fatui with absolute power.
But there was a drawback: remnants of the Fatui existed in various countries.
The Chat Group might not judge it as a success.
Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Che wanted to take this opportunity to gather the people he should gather.
Consolidate his divine clan's foundation.
This was the truly important matter.
"So it is the God who wields thunder, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"If the Fatui truly invade, then just drive them away."
"Moreover, that is a contract that has already been made; it cannot be violated."
Zhongli slowly spoke.
In fact, he himself wanted to take this opportunity to retire and leave matters to the Liyue Qixing (Liyue Seven Stars) to handle.
"But, if you do this, Liyue might be spared, but what about other countries?"
"Those countries without Gods, without god's eyes."
Speaking of this, Lin Che's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said very seriously, "Moreover, Baalzebul's god's heart has been shattered."
Once the god's heart is destroyed, the sleeping The Heavenly Principles will awaken.
This is a long-standing speculation, not unfounded.
As for the last appearance of The Heavenly Principles, it was due to the uncontrollable changes caused by those two siblings arriving in this world.
As expected.
After hearing these words.
Zhongli instantly understood many things.
"So you specifically came here, wanting The Heavenly Principles to descend upon Liyue?"
"To be precise, I want you to give me your god's heart, and I will fulfill this contract."
Lin Che quickly replied.
Zhongli's god's heart can make the Fatui appear.
And after dealing with them, he can use the god's heart to make The Heavenly Principles appear.
It can be said to be a perfect plan that kills two birds with one stone.
"Only by ensuring that The Heavenly Principles will never revive and guaranteeing that the Sky Island will not interfere with the mortal world can there be true safety."
"As for the Fatui, they can be easily destroyed, but because there are too many bugs, a trigger is needed to lure them out."
Lin Che held nothing back, laying out his entire plan.
Of course, if Zhongli was unwilling, Lin Che could also directly seize it.
"A contract cannot be violated, I cannot help you with this."
One must know that besides being the Rock Archon, Zhongli is also the God of Contracts.
Violating a contract was violating his own path.
Zhongli knew how he should choose.
And it was at this moment.
A rapid sound of footsteps sounded outside the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
A girl wearing a purple skirt walked quickly, her ample bosom rising and falling with her steps.
Her long purple hair danced in the wind, and her head had cat-like extensions.
Her slender legs, with a hint of fleshiness, were tightly encased in black hollowed-out stockings.
The person who arrived was none other than Keqing, the Yuheng Star, one of the Liyue Qixing (Liyue Seven Stars).
She was responsible for the land and construction work of the entire Liyue.
But her own combat power was not to be underestimated.
The god's eye she used was also of the Electro element!
Although she couldn't compare to Baalzebul, the Raiden Shogun, being able to become one of the Liyue Qixing (Liyue Seven Stars) was enough to show her strength.
"What happened this time? Your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor seems to be doing well today."
"If there's nothing particularly important, I'll leave first. There are still many things I haven't arranged."
Keqing's gaze swept over everyone in the room, but only lingered on Lin Che for a longer time.
This person's aura seemed even more terrifying than Zhongli, the Rock Archon.
Regarding Keqing's arrival.
Zhongli didn't pay attention, but looked directly at Lin Che, "I will not hand over the god's heart, but you can go and seize it from them."
"I do not wish for these things to happen in Liyue."
Upon hearing this.
Lin Che also responded without hesitation, "If that's the case, then I can only offend you."
As the last syllable fell.
The Unlimited Blade Works space was immediately activated, enveloping everyone in the field.
The blades already floating in this space flew on their own, landing in Lin Che's hands.
In just an instant.
Lin Che's aura had already climbed to a terrifying level.
"Let me do it this time."
"I also want to see how much strength my skills combined with 'Che' in my hand can unleash."
Baalzebul walked step by step and stood in front of Lin Che.
Similarly, she also wanted to know.
The gap between herself and other Gods.
Threads of electric arcs surged and flickered from Baalzebul's body.
The pressure belonging to the Raiden Shogun spread.
Lin Che did not intend to stop her, but remained seated where he was.
Similarly, neither Yae Miko nor Kamisato Ayaka had any intention of acting.
Instead, they chose to observe this scene unfold.
After all, this was the guardian deity of Inazuma - Baalzebul, coupled with the weapon forged by Lin Che himself.
Her strength was not just a little stronger than before.
