Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

But it was the only 'chance' the other party gave her.

"hehe."

Ningguang gave a self-deprecating laugh.

if it is possible.

She really wanted to die.

It's just to disgust that damned and hateful bastard Lin Jiu'an.

But it's just a thought.

She's a businesswoman; acting impulsively isn't what a businesswoman does.

and.

The biggest problem is.

Even if she loses her temper and refuses to cooperate, it won't have much impact on Lin Jiu'an.

Anyone can be "Tianquan Star".

As long as he does the first two things—saving Liyue from the "Vortex Demon God" and demonstrating the power that only the Geo Archon possesses—becoming the next "Archon" is merely a matter of how much trouble it will cause.

after all.

The Rock King Emperor was willing to lend him his power so that he could perform a miracle in front of the people, so how could he not become the new "Emperor"?

The other party could easily find someone else to become "Tianquan Star" or issue orders on her behalf.

To go even further, they simply listed her "crimes" and, taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people of Liyue with her during this period, compared with his own heroic deeds in saving Liyue, forcibly stripped her of "Tianquan Star" amidst the "popular demand".

Her refusal was nothing more than the clown's impotent rage.

It won't have a significant impact on him.

If she doesn't want to be driven out of Liyue like a stray dog, then captured by her enemies or the Fatui, and suffer a fate worse than death...

Ningguang tightly clenched the letter into a ball with her smooth, white skin.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, a deep crimson, dripping down his smooth chin and pattering onto the ground, mingling with the misty drizzle.

At last.

Ningguang could only lower her head helplessly.

······

port.

Although it was obvious to anyone with eyes that a heavy downpour was about to begin.

Despite the sudden downpour, many workers were still moving goods and cleaning ships at this port, which has the world's largest cargo throughput.

"Wang Sheng, it's going to rain. Stop working and go have a drink."

"No."

The man named Wang Sheng wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and smiled憨厚ly: "It's good to work harder while it's raining, so I can earn more money."

"Aren't you afraid of falling into the sea during a heavy rain? If you lose your life, what's the point of making that money?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Bullshit! What do you mean 'nothing'? Every year, how many people die from falling into the sea while working on the beach in the rain? Let's go, let's go for a drink, my treat, okay?"

"Have no idea."

Wang Sheng sighed and smiled helplessly: "My wife just got pregnant with our third child, and then the price of grain went up. I can't let my wife and three children suffer, can I?"

"I can go hungry for a meal or two as a man, but I can't let my children and women go hungry."

"Just do more work."

"I appreciate your kindness, you may go."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have asked you to drink. Fine, let's drink together, at least we can help each other if something goes wrong."

The man, cursing and swearing, came over and started moving the goods with Wang Sheng.

Just as the dockworkers were getting to work, someone suddenly shouted from somewhere, "Look over there!"

Wang Sheng and his companions raised their heads.

At the horizon, two enormous whirlpools appeared, their reflections mingling with the dark clouds obscuring the sky and the sea.

Countless azure, transparent 'tentacles' emerged from it.

A fierce wind howled, and a dark vortex flowed in the sky like an inverted invert, as the enormous monster, which seemed to have countless 'tentacles' or 'snake heads', slowly approached Liyue Harbor.

"Then, what is that?!"

"It's a monster!"

Some people were shouting.

Some people staggered, trying to escape.

But this unprecedented, apocalyptic scene terrified them, leaving most of them trembling on the ground, praying for a miracle.

Some people knelt on the ground chanting the name of the Rock King Emperor, but many more thought that the Emperor was already dead.

'The Emperor is dead, who will save us?'

Wang Sheng was also stunned by this terrifying scene.

They watched helplessly as the blue monster, as tall as a mountain, slowly yet rapidly approached Liyue Harbor.

I don't know how long it took.

Sudden.

Wang Sheng suddenly felt himself being pulled into the dock, which startled him. He then saw his companion making a 'shh' gesture at him, and pointed towards the shore with fear in his eyes.

Wang Sheng looked in the direction the finger was pointing and realized that he didn't know when it had happened.

Surprisingly, many monsters, resembling both dragons and snakes, with water clearer than the seawater, climbed onto the harbor.

Some of them chased after the dockworkers, swallowing them whole once they caught up with them, while most of them ran towards the city.

Screams, curses, and cries sounded so powerless in the torrential rain.

Wang Sheng was stunned until he saw the monsters rushing into the city, at which point he suddenly came to his senses.

"Wife?"

"child!"

Wang Sheng suddenly rushed out like a madman. He didn't know where he got the courage, but he picked up a large wooden plank and smashed it at a water monster that had climbed onto the boat and was blocking the way.

"Get out of my way!"

It felt bouncy, but with all his might, he managed to knock it askew, and then he rushed straight toward the port.

However, just as he stepped onto the wooden plank leading to the ground, his foot slipped.

The world is spinning.

Feeling the uncontrollable weightlessness, Wang Sheng looked at the upside-down city and the workers and civilians being chased by the water monsters. The sounds of their fear and curses seemed to slow down and become clearer.

Just like every night when he couldn't sleep because of life, looking at his sleeping wife and children, Wang Sheng once again hated himself for being so useless.

He desperately reached out his hand towards home, his eyes filled with what seemed like rain or tears.

"Emperor, Immortal, Thousand Rock Army—any of them are fine..."

"Who can save my wife and children..."

Sudden.

The feeling of falling stopped.

Even their gaze kept moving upwards.

Wang Sheng lowered his head.

A rock emerged from the seabed and dragged him to the ground.

Countless rocks shattered and blocked the monsters, rescuing the humans who had been swallowed by them.

Just for a moment.

The monsters that once roamed the mountains and plains turned into stagnant pools of water beneath even more rocks.

Seeing this scene before him, Wang Sheng was stunned, and then looked up as if sensing something.

in the sky.

A young man with black hair and black eyes was standing in the sky above Liyue.

Stepping on countless rocks that appeared out of nowhere, he walked step by step with his hands behind his back toward the terrifying monster in the sea.

Chapter Thirteen: "The Emperor"

"Is it raining?"

Feeling the raindrops hitting her face, Gan Yu groggily opened her eyes.

The familiar scenery came into view; it was the beach where she and Lin Jiu'an had met every morning during this period.

Although there was still plenty of time before dawn, I felt a severe tightness in my chest, just like the day I learned that Lin Jiu'an had left Liyue. I didn't want to do anything, so I decided to go out for a walk to clear my head.

I arrived here in a daze, and feeling a bit sleepy, I lay down here and took a nap.

In a daze, Gan Yu vaguely saw a huge blue thing at the end of the sea. When she opened her eyes completely, she saw the huge sea monster with countless 'snake heads'.

"The Whirlpool Demon God?"

How did He get here?

Gan Yu instantly snapped back to reality, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

In the previous life, the other party was released once, which was fine.

In this life, Ningguang and Lin Jiu'an are both reborn like her, and Yelan is in Liyue at this time, so why was she still released?!

Before she could think further, Gan Yu heard the screams and cries for help from the people in the city behind her. Gan Yu took another deep look at the demon god that was constantly approaching Liyue, and then immediately walked into the interior of Liyue.

I can't beat the other person.

Or rather, in the entire Liyue region, only the Emperor can defeat the Vortex Demon God.

For her alone to risk her life to stop the Vortex Demon God was not courage, but foolishness.

The city streets are already filled with the minions of the "Vortex Demon God," who are searching for and devouring the city's residents.

The Thousand Rock Army maintained order, wielding elemental weapons and fighting against the Familiars of the "Whirlpool Demon," protecting the residents of Liyue. However, compared to the Familiars of the "Whirlpool Demon," the Thousand Rock Army was still too weak.

It took several Thousand Rock soldiers to barely deal with one of their dependents.

Although most of the Thousand Rock Army fought bravely and relentlessly against the "Whirlpool Demon God's" retinue, quite a few monsters still managed to break in.

Gan Yu kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, each arrow shattering a minion of the "Whirlpool Demon God".

However, there were too many people. In order not to harm civilians, she could not use her area-of-effect abilities. She could only keep shooting the monsters one arrow at a time. But for every one she killed, more monsters kept pouring out of the sea.

Gan Yu wanted to use her ability to freeze the sea, but she couldn't leave this place. Every second, civilians and the Thousand Rock Army were being devoured by monsters. If she left for a while, the entire army here would be wiped out.

Just as she was in a state of panic, a streak of purple lightning flashed among the monsters.

In an instant, the monsters were shattered by the purple lightning, and the civilians and Thousand Rock Army soldiers that had been devoured fell to the ground.

"What's going on here?"

The girl with the purple cat-like haircut looked exasperated: "How did it turn out like this? Why is He out again?!"

"I was just sleeping, do you have any news?"

Keqing gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I was called away by Yelan, who said that the Fools were sabotaging the granary. I just got back."

The more Ke Qing talked, the angrier she became. Looking at this scene that resembled the end of the world, she was about to die of anger.

"What on earth is Ningguang doing? Once is one thing, but how could she let 'Young Master' do it a second time?!"

"Young Master"?

Upon hearing this name, Gan Yu thought of Lin Jiu'an.
