Chapter 282 Nothing Lost
After a huge roar, the celestial phenomena that had changed because of Osel suddenly disappeared.
The dark clouds dissipated, leaving behind a bright rainbow that seemed like a reward.
Cranes were flying, colorful clouds were surrounding, and a rainbow appeared again near the port of Liyue.
The immortals brought the few people who could not fly to the shore, and before anyone could say anything, Yao Luo spoke first.
“Pa pa pa pa, congratulations, Miss Ningguang.”
While clapping to show his approval, Yao Luo then took something out of his hand.
"This is?"
After just one look, Ningguang couldn't take her eyes off it. The thing in Yao Luo's hand was a transparent statue in the attic.
Every blade of grass, every flower and every stone were no different from those in Ningguang's Qun Yu Pavilion. Even the number of bricks and tiles on the roof, Ningguang was sure, was exactly the same.
"This is a part of what I took the liberty of "extracting" from Miss Ningguang's memory."
Yao Luo explained, speaking with nostalgia.
“Human memory is like crystal that shatters at the touch of a finger. Even if it can be restored to its original state in the future, it will not be as beautiful as it was at the beginning.”
“With this ‘template’, Miss Ningguang can allow the people of Liyue to see the attic in the sky again in a short period of time.”
"I promise."
As he spoke, a rockery on the model of the Qun Yu Pavilion in Yao Luo's hand split from the scene and landed in his other hand.
Then, the rockery gradually enlarged in front of everyone's eyes, and then little by little it restored its true color. Then, even the light of rock elements flashed in it.
The rock, resurrected.
This also means that Yao Luo has the full ability to help Ningguang completely restore the Qun Yu Pavilion that she just lost.
Ningguang stared at the existence in Yao Luo's hand, took a deep breath, and responded unexpectedly.
"No thanks, Mr. Yao Luo."
"Oh?"
Yao Luo looked at Ningguang. She naturally understood the importance of Qun Yu Pavilion to Ningguang. If it were someone else, she would definitely not refuse this invitation.
Ningguang turned around, looked towards Liyue Harbor, and said meaningfully.
"We all lost a lot in this battle..."
"Emperor Yanwang, our many comrades, the Qianyan soldiers, and the sense of vigilance in times of peace."
"At the same time, we have also gained a lot. I believe that Liyue, which has lost the protection of the Emperor, will not stop moving forward."
“We call the things we lose “memories”, but I believe that the more we lose, the more we will gain in the future and create a brand new “future”.
"Mr. Yao Luo, please let my Qun Yu Pavilion play its due value."
After hearing this, Yao Luo put away what he was holding. He understood what Ningguang meant.
She lost the Jade Pavilion, and the people of Liyue lost their emperor. Both of them lost something important, but this blow will not defeat them. Instead, it will inspire them to move forward.
Ningguang is using the Jade Pavilion to prove to the people of Liyue that even without the Emperor, Ningguang among the Seven Stars and the senior officials he represents will give everything for the people of Liyue.
While speaking, Ningguang was also looking at the immortals. Since the crisis had been resolved, theoretically the relationship between the Seven Stars and the immortals would return to its previous tense state.
But seeing the ambition Ningguang showed through these words, they didn't know what to say.
Among all the immortals, Grandma Ping has traveled in the human world the longest, almost reaching the level of "living in seclusion in the city". No one is more suitable than her to speak at this moment.
"Ah, if Liyue was the "country of the contract between gods and humans" before the Emperor passed away, then now it is the "era of the contract between humans." "
All the immortals looked at Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun at the same time. In the previous confrontation, her attitude was the most resolute.
"Look? Why are you looking at me? I'm not the first one to take the lead in attacking. Humph!" With a proud and cold snort, this "very chatty" blue and white crane had nothing else to say at this moment.
"Forget it. Our presence seems a bit redundant in this port."
The person who spoke was Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan. The strange vision at the port had already attracted the attention of many surviving Liyue citizens, and an immortal who was out of this world was indeed somewhat eye-catching in this mortal world.
"Forget it, let's go home, go home."
As he spoke, he stood up and flew away, leaving this noisy world. For immortals, the quiet mountains and wilderness are more suitable for them.
Xiao and Liuyun Jiefeng also took the opportunity to leave, but Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang, who stayed until the end, left a warning.
"Even if this incident is over, it is still unknown whether the Liyue Seven Stars will take advantage of the opportunity to seize power and make profits after the Emperor's death."
After saying that, he also left on the flowing light. It can be seen that even though Ningguang's words now moved the immortals, they will continue to monitor the human world in the days to come. If one day, the order of the sun and the moon is in chaos again, the immortals will not hold back.
Finally, the catastrophe came to an end, but when Ying looked for Yao Luo, he could not find him anywhere.
There was only a note left in his hand, which read:
"Come to Northland Bank."
"Northland Bank, isn't that the territory of the Fatui?"
Paimon was shocked. Even though she had not been in Liyue for a long time, she still knew about this well-known fact.
"If you want to know everything, you have to go back to the past."
Ying clenched her fists. Although the situation was resolved, she still knew nothing about the root cause of the dispute.
What she knew was that Yao Luo must have occupied an important position in it.
So the two of them took action and soon arrived at the door of Northland Bank.
The Fatui standing guard at the door did not stop them, as if they had received some orders.
When Ying opened the door, she saw two teams with distinct positions.
On the left, there were two people, a man and a woman, dressed in the Northern style of the Fatui. Although they were in the same camp, there seemed to be a conflict between them, and a subtle distance was created between them.
On the other side, there was Yao Luo, whom Ying was familiar with, and a stranger who looked very rich.
"I didn't expect that the god of the Rock Country would be Lord Zhongli. Madam, you two really played a trick on me."
Although Master Tartaglia had wounds on his body, he still expressed his protest in an dissatisfied tone.
The executive officer, who was called "Madam", had a pretty face but spoke harshly, criticizing the young master for his inaction.
"Because there is no need for you to know these things. If you hadn't appeared with this Rock God, the experience might not have been so exciting."
"Speaking of which, God of Rock, the time has come."
The "lady" didn't show much respect for the gods when she spoke, and her annoying tone was indeed not very pleasing.
After hearing this, Zhongli's expression did not fluctuate, but his eyes shone with gold. When he raised his hand, a magnificent golden chess piece was shining brightly.
But if you look closely, you can see that barely noticeable cracks have appeared in some tiny spots on the chess pieces.
That is the symbol of the power of "Rock" on this planet today, the medal belonging to the victor of the Demon War, the Heart of God.
"According to the 'Contract', I will grant you what you promised."
As Zhongli finished his words, this weighty object easily fell into the hands of the Fools before him.
Ying, who witnessed all this, had her brain shut down.
