Chapter 22: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight
Paimeng glanced at Zhongli and said subconsciously: "Zhongli doesn't want to become a god..."
Thinking about it, Zhongli had just pretended to be dead and got off the throne, how could he sit back down in such a short time?
Even if this is a different world, the same principle applies.
Here, there are no people of Liyue, no people he protects, and no things he cherishes...
It is not wrong at all to say that Zhongli came to the world to wander around.
He knows everything, but doesn't care about anything.
How many forces came to curry favor with Zhongli because of force?
Zhongli almost accepted everything, but when he really needed to take action, he might not take action.
Most of what Paimon knew about Zhongli came from doing missions with travelers.
She also knows a little bit, not much, but they are all "core" secrets.
For example, Zhongli likes perfume. Zhongli has played the role of a big sister before...
Paimon's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either.
There were only three of them in the quiet private room.
"Xue Qinghe" is difficult to hear even if you don't want to hear it.
"Don't you want to become a god?"
If someone else had said it, "Xue Qinghe" would probably have ridiculed him on the spot. Just you crooked people, why don't you want to become a god? You can't become a god, right? !
You don’t want to become a god yet, why are you pretending to be so?
However, these words were directed at no one else, but the King of Rocks, Zhongli!
This person who suppressed several gods with one hand doesn’t want to become a god?
"Xue Qinghe" was stunned, a little at a loss, a little confused, his mouth was slightly open, but he stopped talking.
Shouldn't becoming a god be the goal of every strong person?
Her grandfather, she... that woman, don't they all have this as their goal?
Why, why would someone not want to become a god?
Is it possible that this is also the reason why Zhongli revealed the true face of the Vast Sea Universe Cover?
Let her know what the Vast Sea Universe Cover is and take it back on her own initiative...
Since Zhongli didn't want to become a god, how did he become a god later?
"In this world, demons and gods are rising together. Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people..."
These words suddenly echoed in "Xue Qinghe's" mind, and she seemed to have understood and grasped some key points.
It is true that Zhongli has no vision of becoming a god. However, due to the war between several countries and the war between several gods, the people are in dire straits and their lives are in ruins.
The people have a strong desire to pray that someone can calm this war...
The gathering power of faith made Zhongli, the being most likely to become a god, become a god on the spot!
Belief becomes a god. This is the path that the former God of Angels took. It is feasible.
People who don’t want to become gods become such powerful gods. People who want to become gods, but...
With so many thoughts on his mind, "Xue Qinghe" had to come back to his senses. There are some things that he can think about slowly after he goes back, and he should not neglect this guest.
"Little Paimon, no matter whether Mr. Zhongli is willing to become a god or not, since the heart of the Poseidon has been given, there is no reason to take it back."
"Mr. Zhongli, please accept it!"
Xue Ye: Qinghe, Qinghe, when you say this, do you agree with me?
If it was really Xue Qinghe, he would have returned to the palace with the Poseidon's Heart by now. If he walked slower for a second, he would be afraid that someone would snatch the Poseidon's Heart.
However, this is not the real Xue Qinghe.
She doesn't care about the Poseidon inheritance because she has her own inheritance.
If that dream was from her past life, she would definitely be better than her in this life. At least, at least she wouldn't be defeated by Zhongli's magical skill...
Zhongli looked at "Xue Qinghe". For some reason, he always felt that "Xue Qinghe" was a little weird, but he couldn't put it in words.
The fear in her eyes was undeniable, it was before he showed his strength, or when they first met.
Also, he clearly said that Poseidon's Heart was inherited by Poseidon, but "Xue Qinghe" actually gave it to him without hesitation?
Why is this?
According to the time points, "Xue Qinghe" at this time does not know the inheritance of the God of Angels.
Even if she knows the inheritance of her ancestors, wouldn't it be good to bring the Heart of Poseidon back to the Spirit Hall to give the Spirit Hall one more god?
Some people couldn't figure out why "Xue Qinghe" operated like this. After a while, Zhongli finally accepted the Poseidon's Heart.
The three of them chatted for a while, and "Xue Qinghe" still had some things to deal with, so they left.
"It's really not easy to be His Royal Highness. There are so many things to deal with."
Paimon looked at the back of "Xue Qinghe" and muttered softly.
"That's the responsibility, and when you sit in that position, you need to think about the issues that need to be considered in that position."
"Since you have chosen to sit on it, you should bear this." "Zhongli, you say so much, my head is going to spin, can't you be more concise?"
Paimon said with some discomfort as he held his head.
Zhong Li glanced slightly sideways, looked at this little guy, smiled helplessly, and said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
"I see!"
"Zhongli, is this why you stepped down from the throne?"
"You don't want to bear that weight..."
"That's not the reason."
Before Paimeng could finish her words, Zhongli interrupted her and said, "Under the protection of me and the immortals, Liyue has spent so many years."
"Children have to grow up eventually."
"Even the hardest rock can sometimes feel tired..."
"Liyue will be the Liyue of Liyue people. When I step down from my position as a god..."
"After all, it's wear and tear that forces you to step down from your position as a god, right?"
Zhongli: "..."
"right."
What else could he say?
If it weren’t for wear and tear, he wouldn’t have gone to the Dark Sea, nor would he accidentally cross paths with Paimon.
"Let's go, Paimon."
"I'll take you to the Star Dou Forest in two days, but you have to agree to one condition."
After hearing this, Paimon instantly became interested and his eyes widened!
Is this a journey?
Great!
"What's the condition? As long as you don't stop eating, Paimon will agree to it!"
"Talk less."
"???"
"Why, as a guide, what do you know if I don't speak?"
Paimon said subconsciously.
"Is this the continent of Teyvat?"
"Yes, this is Douluo Continent. You seem to know more than me."
"But why should I talk less?"
Zhongli was silent for a while, and then he said, "You will know when the time comes."
"All right."
Paimon was a little disappointed. Travelers would never say such things before, so tell her to stop talking!
She basically said it all, and some people even said that she was an external organ, the Mouth of God.
Bah, the devil’s mouth!
Paimon is Paimon!
"Well, well, Mr. Zhongli, look at this bill..."
At this moment, the store owner came over and said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Yesterday, these three people set a precedent by submitting credit accounts to the Prince's Mansion.
Are you planning to settle your account again today?
Don't say it, really don't say it.
Zhong Li took out Ning Fengzhi's token, handed it to the shop owner, and said, "Just send the bill to the Qibao Glazed Sect."
The shop owner looked at the token and then at Zhongli. The corners of his eyes twitched and he felt a little numb...
