I, the Geo Archon Morax with 2.1 Billion Mora, Have Joined a Chat Group [56]

After seeing Keqing off, Zhongli found himself with a free schedule for the rest of the day.

He strolled leisurely through the bustling streets of Liyue, and when dinnertime approached, he decided to visit Wanmin Restaurant. There, he happened upon an old acquaintance, Tartaglia.

The two exchanged friendly pleasantries, and as a token of gratitude for the gift of the intricately carved dragon chopsticks Zhongli had given him previously, Tartaglia treated him to a fine dinner.

Later, as night descended upon Liyue, Zhongli took in the city’s radiant glow. The lights of Liyue Harbor resembled lantern flames—burning brightly yet always accompanied by the potential for danger.

Still, as long as the Geo Archon remained, this flame would never extinguish.

But, as Keqing had pointed out, while the Geo Archon could safeguard Liyue for millennia, such protection would hinder its people from growing on their own.

Zhongli’s long memory recalled events from his earliest sixteen years—events that hinted at the perils of absolute divine rule.

In countless tales and artistic depictions, kingdoms ruled by infallible gods rarely ended well.

Sometimes, the god lost their moral clarity, and the people, dependent on their guidance, fell alongside them.

Other times, the god vanished unexpectedly, leaving a directionless populace vulnerable to calamities or civil strife, fading like fireworks at the height of their brilliance.

Though Liyue hadn’t reached such extremes, the signs were there.

And so, Zhongli had decided to leave.

This departure would create a necessary disruption, allowing him to attempt the revival of Qingyun amidst the ensuing chaos—a plan that served two purposes.

Calmly, he opened his chat group.

--- Keeper of Contracts has joined the chat ---

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): Mr. Zhongli has arrived! Please, take a seat here!

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): Why the visit today, oh exalted Mr. Zhongli? Conducting an inspection of the chat group?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): That sounded a bit like teasing.

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): Haha, just some lighthearted banter. Don’t mind me, Zhongli-san!

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): Yes, yes! Just teasing, no offense intended, oh exalted one.

Hestia-sama Is Supreme (Bell): Good morning, Zhongli-san!

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Good morning, Bell. Hmm… though it’s evening on my side. No matter.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): I have something to discuss with everyone today.

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): What is it? Are you finally coming to Gensokyo to be my Dragon God?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Apologies, I don’t have such plans for now. What I wanted to ask is: Would anyone like to visit my world for a bit of sightseeing?

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): ?

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): Is that possible?

Incurable Villain (Accelerator): Your world, huh? Sounds interesting. Count me in.

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): By the way, Accelerator, did you manage to save your loli? Was it Unit 100086? No, wait, what was the number again?

Incurable Villain (Accelerator): It’s Test Subject 20001, Last Order. Want me to kill you ten thousand times, you NEET?

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): Did you save her?

Incurable Villain (Accelerator): Tch! I did, just today. Well, time’s irrelevant to you guys. In my world’s timeline, I saved her today. I still don’t know what Aleister is scheming, but I won’t let anyone harm Last Order or the Misaka Sisters again.

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): Ohhh!!! That’s the spirit! Just like how I keep fighting for Emilia and Rem, even if I have to die a thousand times! Sure, dying is unbearably painful, but I’ll never give up! And neither should you, Accelerator!

Incurable Villain (Accelerator): Hah! Sharing a goal with you is downright irritating.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): So, does anyone have time to visit my world?

Incurable Villain (Accelerator): I’m in. I’d like to see what kind of place your world is.

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): Me too! Lord Zhongli, let me fight by your side again. It’s the humble wish of a lowly shrine maiden who’s never been graced by a god’s favor.

Angel Sweetheart (Puri Puri Prisoner): Just got here and saw the messages. WOW, Zhongli’s world? How could I not go? Especially with Accelerator and Reimu there. I’ve never met Reimu-girl before.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): @IWantTenWithKobayashi (Tohru), Tohru, would you like to join us?

IWantTenWithKobayashi (Tohru): PASS. I won’t leave Kobayashi’s side.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Understood. @Crimson Plume Immortal (Fu Hua), Immortal Fu Hua, would you like to visit my world?

Crimson Plume Immortal (Fu Hua): What’s the method?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): I’ll issue a task through the chat group. I’ll also offer 10,000 points as a reward since I’ll need some assistance while you’re here.

Crimson Plume Immortal (Fu Hua): ...Fine.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Anyone else?

Emilia Is Super Cute (Subaru): Can I come too? I’d like to ask Zhongli-san to train me. Is that possible?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Of course.

Hestia-sama Is Supreme (Bell): I’ll come too! I have a small gift prepared to thank you, Zhongli-san. I’ll bring it along.

True Realist (Yukinoshita): Can I come as well...?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Naturally. My world isn’t excessively dangerous, and ordinary people can live here comfortably.

Sister-Hater (Kyousuke): What about me? Can I join?

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Absolutely.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): Very well, it’s settled. Everyone except for Tohru will visit my world.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): I’ll issue the task in two days’ time.

Keeper of Contracts (Zhongli): I’m logging off now to draft the task. Please wait patiently.

--- Keeper of Contracts has left the chat ---

Shrine Maiden Reimu (Reimu): What kind of world is Zhongli’s, I wonder?

Sister-Hater (Kyousuke): Super excited! As a regular guy, I can’t wait!

True Realist (Yukinoshita): I… am a little curious too.

Hestia-sama Is Supreme (Bell): Let’s have a group meal while we’re all in the same world!

Angel Sweetheart (Puri Puri Prisoner): Great idea! All the lovely boys and girls gathered together—this is going to be fabulous!

Crimson Plume Immortal (Fu Hua): ...Agreed.
