Chapter 258 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony
"Everyone knows that the Rock God Morax is one of the oldest and most powerful gods in the world. From the 3700 years since the founding of Liyue to the present, plus the distant Demon God War period, it is roughly estimated that he should be more than years old."

"Rocks return to dust, and so do men, and so do gods, in my opinion."

Yao Luo sighed. His inspiration came from the simulated universe, where he lamented that the "order" star god Taiyi was assimilated by the "harmonious" Hippie.

As one of the oldest gods in the universe, the Star God of "Order" has ruled the universe for a time that can only be described as countless tens of thousands of years. His power is unimaginable, but even a Star God will one day perish.

"Now Liyue's political and economic systems all rely on the Geolord's management, but it seems that the people of Liyue have never thought about what they will face if Morax leaves them one day?"

Yao Luo’s first sentence made Zhongli’s eyes light up. This is a question that almost 99% of Liyue people would not think about.

"Once the Rock God dies, when will the next Rock God take over?"

"Without the support of the gods, will other countries take the opportunity to invade?"

"The Rock God is dead, and Liyue will no longer produce new Mora. Will there be problems with the circulation of currency? Will it disappear overnight?"

“Although this is a problem that will only occur in the future, it is a real problem that people cannot ignore, let alone face.”

"When a disaster occurs, it often starts as just a wildfire, a trivial omen, but people will not start to pay attention to the problem until it is closely related to everyone."

Yao Luo's brilliant speech hit Zhongli's heart, reminding him of what he heard a merchant say to his men at the port after the rain one day.

"You have done your duty. Now, go and rest."

From that day on, he asked himself whether he had fulfilled his duty.
Zhongli's identity is naturally not simple. Even if Yao Luo doesn't look carefully, the power of rock elements emanating from that deep body and something hidden deeper will not be weaker than the power he feels from Walter.

Moreover, the sounds of the two can be said to be very similar.

Next, Yao Luo discussed with Zhongli many issues concerning "the aging population problem in Guiliyuan", "the tourism development project in Jueyunjian", "the sustainable development of the Chengyan Juyuan", and proposed corresponding solutions, which broadened Zhongli's horizons.

"Young friend Yao Luo, do you have any idea of ​​working at Yujingtai? With your talent, you would be no less qualified even if you were to take on the position of 'Seven Stars'."

"Brother Zhong, you are too polite. I have no intention of getting involved in politics, and what I said was just for fun."

Yao Luo calmly took a sip of tea. What he relied on were just some constructive ideas from the information gap of modern people. It did not mean that Zhongli's wisdom was not as good as his. Being in the same position, he could naturally understand the mystery.

Seeing that Yao Luo was not interested, Zhongli did not force him. He had originally planned to contact his "acquaintances" in Yujingtai and quickly arrange for Yao Luo, this "amazing talent", to be assigned to the position.

"In that case, is Yao Luo's purpose of coming to Liyue to travel? Or do you want to do business, or something else?"

Zhongli looked at the brilliant young man in front of him and felt it was a pity that he had not discovered such a talent earlier, otherwise he would have tried every means to keep him in Liyue. But it is not too late now.

Yao Luo thought about it. The purpose of his coming to Teyvat was, firstly, to create a new power system, and secondly, to increase the catalog of "reproductions", so for him, being able to see more "big scenes" was a good thing.

"Well, it's more like a journey of learning than a trip. It would be great if I could see the legendary 'immortal' of Liyue."

Zhongli observed that there seemed to be no trace of elemental power on Yao Luo's body, but from the way he breathed, walked and sat up, it could be seen that he was a martial artist who had experienced many battles.

Such people are often determined, but lacking in elemental power, they cannot be compared with the top strong men. "(How about letting him meet my old friends?)"

This request was not difficult for Zhongli. He even wanted to personally discuss the mysteries of elemental power with the young man in front of him for the first time in a long time.

"However, for the time being, let's take a look at Liyue's unique ceremony of inviting the immortals. I am also looking forward to seeing the figure of the Rock God."

"Then young friend Yao Luo, just look forward to it. This time, the ceremony of inviting the immortals may be different from the past."

While speaking, Zhongli also strengthened a certain determination deep in his heart.

"Young friend Yao Luo can accept this in advance."

As he spoke, Zhongli took out a token from his bosom that was neither gold nor jade. There were symbols written on it in ancient seal characters, and it was obvious that it was of extraordinary quality.

"No, no, no, this thing looks very expensive. Brother Zhong is spending too much."

Yao Luo quickly pushed his hand away to refuse. He felt extraordinary power from the token in front of him.

"As the old saying goes: There is gold in books. In Xumi next door, there has been a saying since ancient times that knowledge is wealth. The knowledge that my friend Yaoluo discussed with me today is more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold. What is a small token worth?"

"Take it. After the Immortal Ceremony, you can take this token to tour the Immortal Mountain. Maybe something good will happen."

Looking at Zhongli's eyes, Yao Luo couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

"It's getting late today. If I delay any longer, the hall master might scold me. See you another day."

Yao Luo looked up and saw that he and Zhongli had been chatting from noon to night.

Standing up to say goodbye, Yao Luo looked at the gradually leaving figure, feeling emotional.

"Zhongli, ah Zhongli, Liyue, this child in your hands will finally leave you one day."

Yao Luo looked at the token in his hand. If his guess was correct, this was the "Talisman of No Taboos" in Liyue's legend.

According to legend, this is a talisman that the Rock King and the immortals gave to mortals so that they could fight together. It is filled with immortal power and can attract the attention of immortals if held by ordinary people, but its number is scarce and there are not many left now.

He had every reason to suspect that this should be the version that Zhongli had just made.

The sun and stars rotate, and a new day will always come. In the past two days, Yao Luo has walked through every street in Liyue Harbor, feeling the increasingly lively atmosphere.

The "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals" is a festival that may not surprise the locals, but for outsiders, it is an excellent time of the year.

Whether visiting or praying, it is a rare good time of the year.

And under the bridge in front of the gate, a blonde girl and an unknown white floating spirit slowly walked into this rock kingdom.
