Chapter 95: The Eighteen Star Gods of Heaven! Protecting Klipper
Ningguang, the host of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, couldn't help but ask Chu Hang anxiously, "What happened to the Emperor?"

Chu Hang said calmly: "I said, ascend to heaven."

Ningguang shook her head. “The merchants of Liyue have traveled all over Teyvat and brought me countless news, but among those news, there has never been any news about the heavens.”

After saying this, Ningguang's red eyes became sharp: "The so-called heaven, is it something you made up?"

Ganyu, Uncle Tian, ​​even Granny Ping, the Demon-Slayer Xiao and others who were standing by also looked at Chu Hang with questioning eyes at this moment.

"Of course it's not fabricated. The heavens are extremely vast and are governed by eighteen star gods. Let me briefly introduce them to the star god who protects them, Creeper." Chu Hang said calmly:

“Every swing of the hammer by Kripper is a mortal life.

“It will take dozens or even hundreds of years!
“The wall crystals of the heavens and other worlds were forged by Cun Hu Klipper after spending hundreds of millions of years calculating!

"In addition to the guardian Krippo, there is also the Star God representing life, the Abundant Medicine Master, who has the ability to grant immortality to all living beings. He patrols the various realms... Anyone who receives his gaze can obtain immortality!
"In addition to this, the heavenly realm is also managed by the Star Gods of Harmony, Hunting, Mystery, Balance, Memory... etc.!

"The Heaven that the Rock King Emperor ascended to this time is exactly like this!"

After hearing these remarks, Ningguang still didn't believe in the existence of heaven, but the problem was that what Chu Hang said was too true, as if there really was a world called heaven outside the world of Teyvat.

Keqing and Ganyu also felt that what Chu Hang said was so true, as if there really was such a world.

And Grandma Ping also asked a key question: "Where will the Emperor ascend to when he ascends to heaven?"

Chu Hang: "It is probably the force under the command of Cunhu Kliper Amber King. If nothing unexpected happens, he should embark on the path of Cunhu. Relying on his achievements in the continent of Teyvat, I think he will go very far beyond Cunhu's destiny.

"By the way, if you still don't believe me, you can wait until night. Perhaps the Emperor who has ascended tonight will contact you."

Chu Hang said this and added: "I will not leave Liyue today, and neither will Tevarin."

The eyes of the Great Demon Slayer Xiao, Granny Ping and other Liyue immortals turned to Tevarin, the giant dragon that had bumped into the Emperor. In order to avoid being besieged by the Liyue immortals, Tevarin nodded:

"Chu Hang and I will not leave."

Ningguang spoke up: "In that case, we will arrange accommodation for the celestial envoy."

"No need to arrange accommodation, I'll just stay in the Jade Pavilion." Chu Hang pointed at the Jade Pavilion in the sky and said, "By the way, I'll hang out in Liyue and have some fun next, is that ok?"

Ningguang nodded: "Of course, but you will need a guide to travel in Liyue. What do you think of Ganyu?"

Chu Hang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and understood that Ningguang was planning to arrange for Ganyu to keep an eye on him to prevent him, the suspect who was suspected of killing the Emperor, from escaping.

But, Ganyu is so beautiful, so why not!

So Chu Hang nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

After saying that, Chu Hang jumped up to Tevarin's back and stretched out his hand to Ganyu.

Seeing this, Ganyu glanced at Ningguang and nodded at her, as if to say, "I'm going."

Then he also jumped up and landed on Tevarin's back.

Hu Hu Hu.

The giant dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky, towards the Pavilion of Truth and Jade.

Ningguang narrowed her red eyes slightly when she saw this scene, and bowed to the Great Sage Conquering Demons and Grandma Ping, the two immortals, and said, "Two immortals, please go to Jueyunjian to invite Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang, Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan, and Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng, and tell the three Zhenjuns what happened in the ceremony of inviting the immortals!
"And ask the three immortals to prepare for battle... If there is no news from the Emperor tonight, and that man is planning to run away with the Jade Pavilion, then we must avenge the dead Emperor Yanwang...

"When the time comes, I will immediately abandon the Jade Pavilion and use my Jade Pavilion to smash his Jade Pavilion!"

By the end, Ningguang's voice had become decisive.

"it is good."

Grandma Ping and Xiao looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Then, the three-eyed five-manifestation immortal Xiao said, "Let me go to Jueyunjian. I use the wind element, and my speed is faster than Gechen...Grandma Ping!"

"Ah."

The moment Grandma Ping nodded, Xiao turned into a wisp of wind and quickly rushed away into the distance.

Afterwards, Uncle Tian, ​​Grandma Ping and others also said goodbye and left.

The only ones left at the ceremony venue for inviting the immortals were Keqing, the cute cat, and Ningguang.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood before."

Keqing apologized immediately.

Ningguang shook her head slightly. “There’s nothing to apologize for. If Ganyu or anyone else in the Seven Stars saw East Wind Dragon Tevarin leading the Jade Pavilion to destroy the Emperor’s Dharmakaya, they would all think that I teamed up with outsiders to attack the Emperor.”

"So you accept my apology... Wait, you said that dragon is Mondstadt's East Wind Dragon?!" Keqing realized something and said with wide eyes: "Then Mondstadt..."

“That’s right.” Ningguang nodded slightly and said, “I also suspect that it was the gods of Mondstadt who ordered Tevarin to invade the Immortal Summoning Ceremony and damage the Emperor’s Dharmakaya. So if there is no news from the Emperor tonight, we will not only have to go to war with the man on the Truth·Jade Pavilion, but also with the dragons and gods of Mondstadt!
"How is it, Keqing, are you scared?"

“Why would I be afraid?” Keqing shook her head and said, “If the Emperor was really killed by the dragons and gods of Mondstadt, then we, the Seven Stars of Liyue, and even the Liyue Thousand Rock Army and all the Liyue Immortals must work together to avenge the Emperor!”

"Ah."

Ningguang nodded, then showed an ice lotus in her palm.

"This is?"

"This is something Ganyu left behind. It contains a great deal of ice elemental power. If this thing melts, it means Chu Hang and the others are going to run away..."

"I see."

……

Aozang Mountain, at the entrance of the immortal cave.

All the immortals of Liyue gathered together, but every immortal looked unhappy.

Finally, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng spoke first: "Regarding the incident of the emperor brought back by Xiao being assassinated during the ceremony of inviting the immortals/ascending to heaven, True Lord Xueyuezhuyang and True Lord Lishuidieshan, what do you think?"

Master Xueyue Zhuyang: "Maybe the heaven really exists!"

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: "We cannot deny the possibility that there is a heaven outside of Teyvat. After all, what Chu Hang said is too true, as if such a world really exists!"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng: "You are right, maybe the heaven really exists. After all, we are all old antiques who have lived from ancient times to the present, and we all know that there is a world outside of Teyvat.

“But no matter what, we must be prepared for the Emperor’s death!
"I'll go and repair the Guizhong Machine first... If the Emperor is dead, the Guizhong Machine will be useful!"

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang nodded slightly: "We really need to make some preparations in advance."

Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun: "If the emperor has really passed away, we, the immortals who have followed the emperor for a lifetime, will definitely avenge him!"

The immortals of Liyue began to take action.

And Liyue’s Thousand Rock Army was also mobilized on a large scale by the Liyue Seven Stars today to prepare for war!
It can be said that the official actions of Liyue today are very big. Not only the official, but also the people are divided on the matter of the Emperor's ascension.

As for the Rock King Emperor himself, at this moment he was still strolling on the street, holding a bird cage in his hand, looking very uncomfortable.

As he walked, he asked Wendy beside him, "Wendy, do you think the heaven with eighteen star gods that Chu Hang mentioned really exists?"

"There is such a possibility, because when Chu Hang spoke, there was no falsehood in his expression or tone." Wendy said: "But the name of that world may not be called heaven, but another name!"

Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, but if there are really eighteen star gods in that world, then they must be far superior to the Seven Lords of Teyvat!"

"Who says it's not true?" Wendy sighed, "The Klipper of the Guardian takes dozens or even hundreds of years to swing the hammer every time, which is a mortal's lifetime, or even several lifetimes!

"No... Even if you are an old man, you have only lived for a few thousand years. The length of your life is probably the same as the time it took that person to protect Clipper with hundreds of hammers!
“And the pharmacist of abundance can grant people immortality. Neither you nor I have such a means, nor do any other gods of Teyvat!
"This means that if Star Gods really exist, no matter which one it is, they are far superior to you and me!"

“Yes.” Zhongli nodded slightly and said, “It is hard to imagine that the star god Cun Hu Klipper, who has swung his hammer for hundreds of millions of years, exists. After all, I have only lived for a few thousand years and have been worn out by time!

“Many things in the past have been forgotten by many people.

"Perhaps, after some time, I will lose my intellect like Ruota under the Fulong tree."

"This is probably the main reason for your retirement." Wendy thought for a moment and said, "But that's true. You are indeed the oldest of the Seven Gods."

"You're almost there, right? Do you still remember what your friend looks like?"

"Of course." Wendy nodded. "Every time I see a mirror, I can remember what my friend looks like. But it's also thanks to the existence of the mirror... If I hadn't transformed into my friend's appearance, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to remember what he looks like through the mirror now."

When Zhongli heard this, he realized that his old friend was also badly worn out.

I wanted to buy some osmanthus flowers to go with the wine, but unfortunately time has changed everything...

Zhongli was thinking and saw a shop selling stones.

He also found that the stones in the shop were all good, so he walked over and said, "These stones are of excellent quality. This one, this one, and this one. I want all of them except these few. Boss, pack them up!"

"Okay!" The shop owner agreed with a smile, "Mr. Zhongli, do you want to pay in cash or by account?"

"Bookkeeping Northland Bank."

"Okay, okay, please tick here."

The shop owner took out a piece of paper and a brush.

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded slightly and signed.

"The shop assistant will deliver the stone to you later, to the Hall of the Dead, right?"

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded slightly, returned the brush to the shopkeeper, then turned around and left.

Wendy was slightly stunned when she saw this scene and said, "How come you are so skilled in keeping accounts? Don't you, the God of Precious Gold, usually bring Mora with you?"

"I have retired and have cut ties with my past identity, so I cannot use the Mora that belongs to my past."

"So, you don't have Mora now?!"

"What does that mean?"

After Zhongli finished speaking, he realized that the Wind God Barbatos in front of him was just like him, a poor being.

No...I am still different from the wind god Barbatos!

I also have an external wallet!

"From a common sense perspective, I don't lack Mora." Zhongli said calmly, "Even though I am no longer the person I used to be, there are still people rushing to me and giving me money to spend."

"Did that person see through your identity?"

"of course not."

"Who's willing to be a sucker and spend money for you?" Wendy said, a gleam in his eyes. "Share the wallet information. I might be able to use the bard's trick to get some Mora from that sucker to buy some wine!"

"The Fatui, the eleventh executive officer Tartaglia."

"Fools, forget it... we don't have a good relationship."

After Wendy finished speaking, she saw Zhongli in front of her running to a store to shop.

The bill is still sent to Northland Bank.

Wendy looked at this scene and silently calculated in her mind that Zhongli had probably spent over 100 million Mora since his trip. This guy really didn't consider Mora as money.

However, it is normal to think about it. After all, he is the true god of precious gold, the god of Imora.

It's normal to have no idea about the number of Moras!
It's just suffering for his wallet.

Thinking this, Wendy continued to spend the money from the Northland Bank and went shopping with Zhongli.

Moreover, Zhongli was very generous and used the Mora from the Northland Bank to buy a bunch of good wine from the restaurant to entertain this old friend who had come from afar.

Wendy naturally would not refuse the good wine and accepted it happily.

……

On the other side, is the Truth Qun Yu Pavilion.

The dragon landed.

The travelers Ying, Paimon, and Silver Wolf quickly came to Tevarin, and heard Tevarin roar with doubt and a little anger:

"Where's that Wendy guy? Where did he go?"

Paimon shook his head: "I don't know. The singing guy suddenly disappeared from the Jade Pavilion after you collided with the dragon!"

At this moment, Chu Hang jumped off Tewarin's back and said what he had sensed: "Wendy is hanging out with an old friend, drinking and shopping!"

Tevarin roared angrily, "Damn it, that guy is not doing his job again."

Chu Hang shook his head: "No, no, no, you really misunderstood this time. Wendy found an old friend this time, but he can solve the problem of you accidentally entering the venue of the invitation ceremony."

The anger on Tevarin's face quickly disappeared when he heard this. He thought of the Geo King, the friend Barbatos had made in Liyue when he accompanied him to the Seven Gods Cocktail Party.

This means that Barbatos probably really did not fail to do his job this time, but went to find his old friend, the Rock King, to apologize to him for what happened to Tevarin!

Wait...if Wendy was going to find the Rock King to apologize, then what about Chu Hang's previous statement that the King had ascended to heaven? !
