Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon beside her and said with a light laugh.
"Seven Stars wouldn't harm the Rock God, would they?"
Ying looked at Ningguang in front of her and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Hmm... You have a lot of dealings with immortals, so it's understandable that you don't trust us."
"I invited you here today to clear up some misunderstandings."
Ningguang sighed softly upon hearing this, and then explained to Ying and Paimon in front of her.
After saying that, Ningguang walked to the side of the Jade Pavilion.
"You've probably heard of the Demon God War, right?"
Ningguang, with her back to Qiu Nian and the other two, brought up this topic.
"I have a general idea."
"But that's all I know. I've learned some things from the immortals and Mr. Zhongli."
Upon hearing this, Ying glanced at Qiu Nian beside her and spoke to Ning Guang's retreating figure.
"What did Mr. Zhongli tell you?"
Ningguang turned her head slightly upon hearing this and asked with great interest.
"Here's what happened: we went to Jueyun Mountain to find the immortals."
“Every immortal is guessing which one assassinated the Rock King Emperor.”
"It is said that only one person in the mortal world possesses the ability to assassinate the emperor."
"Later we asked Mr. Zhongli, and he combined historical materials with his advice."
"I suspect that one might be the outer god who fought against the Emperor three thousand years ago."
Paimon watched Ningguang's retreating figure and recounted the events in detail.
"and..."
"The war between the demon gods seems to be extremely fierce."
Ying looked at Ningguang's retreating figure and added.
"Um...that one."
"If it's him, it's still possible..."
When Ningguang heard about the Outer God who had fought against the Emperor three thousand years ago, her brows furrowed slightly.
"As far as I know, he should be in the Liyue historical records."
"The only god whose power is almost comparable to that of the Emperor."
"In Liyue, historians and storytellers alike believe that the Emperor's divine power is unmatched among the demon gods."
"Of course... I think so too."
"Unfortunately, the outcome of that battle is unknown, but most scholars believe that the Emperor won."
Ningguang crossed her arms over her chest, gazing down at the brightly lit Liyue Harbor, and began to speak.
Even Li Yue, a fan of the Emperor, believes that the power of that Outer God is almost equal to that of the Emperor.
[It's easy to imagine how powerful that Outer God was.]
[I feel this Outer God will be very important in the backstory.]
Viewers in the live stream chat also started speculating.
"Because if that Outer God wins."
"Liyue would not be what it is today."
Paimon looked at Ningguang's retreating figure, spread his little hands, and asked.
"That's right. Before the terms 'Seven Rulers of the Mortal World' and 'Seven Gods' came into use, all the gods were called demon gods."
"There have been many demons and gods in the world, and there have been protracted wars that did not end until two thousand years ago."
"During this period, countless lives were lost and blood was shed."
"In the end, only seven victors remained on the continent of Teyvat."
"They built kingdoms and city-states on the ruins of the defeated, and began the Age of the Seven Gods."
Ningguang, having reached this point, turned and looked into the distance.
"Do you see Lonely Cloud Pavilion?"
"That is not a natural landform, but a huge rock spear thrown down by the Emperor during the war."
The three of them followed Ningguang's gaze.
In the far distance, on the sea, there was an enormous island.
The area above is shrouded in mist, creating a unique landform.
Wow, that's amazing?!
Even Xuehua swore when she saw Guyun Pavilion.
[Holy crap, you're saying that was a rock spear thrown by Geo Archon?]
I've been there before, it's absolutely huge!
[If this were dropped from such a height, wouldn't it be equivalent to a meteorite?]
The live chat was in an uproar.
It's important to know that the Genshin Impact game map on the parallel planet Blue Star is exceptionally large.
It's easy to imagine how shocked these players who hadn't participated in the closed beta were.
They now finally have a basic understanding of the power of the Rock King Emperor.
"Oh my god..."
Even Ying, at this moment, stared wide-eyed in shock at the distant Lonely Cloud Pavilion.
She didn't understand the concept of the power of the demon god before, but now she does.
A random rock spear is bigger than a mountain.
Even the external god mentioned by Zhongli.
It's amazing that he can still fight on par with the Rock King Emperor, who possesses such power.
To say that battle was earth-shattering would not be an exaggeration.
Chapter 32 The Seven Stars' Enemy, The Fools' Plan
"Then another question arises: what's the deal with Wendy?"
Thinking of this, Ying recalled Barbatos, the god of wind.
Wendy, in other words, looked puzzled.
Paimon, standing nearby, was also puzzled, thinking of Wendy.
Wendy once said that God's power comes from the faith of His people.
Only by fulfilling one's divine duties can one accumulate divine power.
However, according to Ningguang and Zhongli, that Outer God did not even have any subjects.
What faith can there be without subjects?
But this very Outer God was almost equal in combat power to the Rock King Emperor.
There's clearly a logical flaw here.
Or are there inherently strong and weak deities?
The Wind God is considered very weak, while the Geo God is considered very strong.
"Beneath the rock spear lies the defeated enemy of the Emperor from back then."
"The former demon god who failed to obtain a position among the seven gods."
"Not only do demons die, but even the seven ruling powers of the mortal world have changed hands over the past two thousand years."
"The passing of the Emperor is a disaster that Liyue cannot even imagine."
"But the Teyvat seven-god system... will not collapse."
"The next Geo Archon will appear sooner or later, but how could we forget the Emperor?"
"At that time, the relationship between the people of Liyue and the gods will definitely be different from the past."
Ningguang gazed in the direction of Guyun Pavilion and continued speaking.
"Even in this new era, the Liyue Sept are still the old subjects of the Emperor..."
"The crime of raising a sword against the Emperor... do you think we can bear it?"
"Or do you think that you can assassinate the Emperor with the power of the Seven Stars alone?"
Ningguang turned around, looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her, and asked.
"That's really unlikely..."
"After all, the power of the Rock God doesn't seem like something a mortal could assassinate."
After seeing the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, Ying shook her head and said.
“That’s right, perhaps only that Outer God has this ability.”
"But he has been missing for countless years, and whether he is still alive is another matter."
Ningguang nodded at Ying after hearing this.
"Then why did you hide the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body?"
Paimon looked at Ningguang in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression.
