Chapter 115

"You know that kind of talk is meaningless."

Li Yue patted Zhongli on the shoulder.

"No one is born knowing how to govern a country. These things take time. What you can do now is limited, but after Grand Governor for several decades, the things you can do will be limitless!"

Zhongli, I believe in you!

Li Yue patted her chest and gave Zhongli a thumbs-up.

Thank you so much!

Zhongli's eyebrows twitched, and finally he let out a long, helpless sigh.

"I understand, I will try my best."

Even as an ordinary Liyue citizen, he couldn't refuse Morax, the Vago Monarch.

"Ah~ that's right!"

Li Yue nodded in satisfaction, then stepped forward and clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

"The main reason I called everyone out today is to let you all know that there are so many people in my Inner World. In the future, when I encounter any trouble or battles, I will also call on everyone to come out and fight with me. So it's best to know this in advance."

"But you don't need to worry."

"After all, with the power of the Emperor and the Thunder God, I am invincible!"

Li Yue brandished the Enma's Blade in her hand.

"How long can this situation possibly last?"

Ying asked Li Yue curiously.

"How long it can last depends on how much Reiatsu has been consumed."

Li Yue made a six gesture with her fingers.

"After activating this ability, my Reiatsu will be divided into six parts: one part for Enma's Blade, one part for myself, and the remaining four parts for the four of them to operate in the outside world. Operating in the outside world requires Reiatsu, and when their Reiatsu is exhausted, they will return to my Inner World, or they will voluntarily stop operating in the outside world and return to my body."

"Or I can actively bring them back into my Inner World. In that case, no matter where they are, as long as I call them, they will immediately return to my side."

This ability can be said to have completely integrated the power of the four Demon God into Li Yue's body. Now, Li Yue is no longer borrowing power from the Demon God as before, but directly and forcibly using their power.

However, the four Demon God currently inside Li Yue are willing to give their power to Li Yue, especially since they can now move around freely, which is even better than before.

"Impressive ability."

Venti nodded affirmatively beside her.

"But wouldn't dividing your power among yourself weaken your own?"

"My power has been divided into six parts, which will definitely weaken my power. So if I need to fight or go to other worlds, I will choose to bring them back first. Only after I am sure that the battle will not cause any problems and will not affect my battle will I separate them again if they want to come out."

"That's right, we've already discussed it with Li Yue."

Makoto Raiden pulled Raiden Ei to his feet.

"We are already gone from Teyvat. Those who have left are not actually suitable to stay in Teyvat for a long time. Therefore, unless it is a specific time period or Li Yue needs us to come out and help in the battle, we will not stay in the outside world for a long time."

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata also came over carrying Nahida.

"That's right, it belongs to you now. We are already very satisfied with the current situation, so most of the time, we will still choose to stay inside Li Yue's body, only coming out occasionally, or when Li Yue needs our help."

When it came to helping, Zhongli's eyes lit up.

"If we're talking about helping, there is indeed something that needs our help right now, or more precisely, we need the Emperor's help."

"Um?"

Everyone looked at Zhongli with suspicion. They all knew that he was Morax's true form, so they were curious about his sudden offer to help.

"Although I just agreed to help Li Yue take care of Li Yue, I still don't have much experience, so... I ask Your Majesty not to go back yet, but to stay outside and teach me so that I can become more familiar with handling the affairs of Liyue."

Zhongli looked at Morax as he spoke.

"Please grant my request, Your Majesty."

"..."

Morax fell silent.

Li Yue also fell silent.

Alright, alright, as expected of you, Zhongli. To make things easier for yourself, you've sent your clone to work for you, haven't you!

189. Morax's work is Zhongli's work!

In the end, after catching up with their friends or family, the three Demon God voluntarily released the summons and returned to Li Yue's body, while the Vago Monarch Morax remained behind.

Zhongli needs Morax to "teach" him how to handle Liyue's affairs; this is the only "request" he, as the Grand Governor of Liyue, has ever made to the Emperor!

Then, that very afternoon, the Seven Arbiter-Generals handed the documents to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, only to find that it was Morax, dressed in divine armor, who was in charge of reviewing them, not Zhongli. In this bizarre turn of events, Zhongli and the remaining three of the Three Great Generals were leisurely sitting around a stone table in the backyard, drinking tea.

Raiden Ei looked at Morax, who was sitting at his desk working on documents, and then at Zhongli, who was sitting in front of him drinking tea. He was deeply shocked!

"What's wrong, Baal?"

Zhongli leisurely sipped his tea, then asked Raiden Ei, who was looking at him with strange eyes.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the current situation is a bit strange."

Raiden Ei frowned as he answered.

"Having a clone do things for you, or something like that..."

"Actually, isn't this very similar to your choice, Baal?"

Zhongli put down her teacup and looked at Raiden Ei.

"It's just that you chose to transform your body into a puppet, while I chose to separate a part of my consciousness, which happens to be able to exist independently because of Li Yue's ability, thus helping me share the burden."

Raiden Ei couldn't help but frown.

"Why didn't I think of this back then?"

No, she made other dolls back then, but she didn't use any of them. Only when the technology matured did she use her own body to create the Raiden Shogun. The Thunder General was special and did help her handle Inazuma's affairs for a long time. But this is different from Zhongli directly splitting off a part of his consciousness to create a clone to help with things.

"Old man, is this what you call sharing the burden? You're practically having someone else do all the work for you."

Venti was complaining from the side.

"He's Morax. Isn't it only right that Morax helps govern Liyue?"

Zhongli spoke with righteous indignation.

"At least compared to you, the Anemo Archon who does nothing, Morax is much more dutiful."

Li Yue's simple-minded daughter Nahida, listened to Zhongli's words and couldn't help but offer her support.

"Indeed, according to Mr. Zhongli, in this situation, it is indeed Morax is handling things. As far as Mr. Zhongli is concerned, this is indeed Mr. Zhongli handling affairs. In essence, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Zhongli's approach."

"That's right, just as Nahida said. There's no difference between the Vago Monarch doing the work and me doing the work, so we can just let the Vago Monarch do the work."

Venti was speechless. He hadn't expected that Zhongli, who seemed honest and steady on the surface, was actually so secretly lewd. Once Morax got shameless, no one could break through his skin. Don't ask, it's as Solid as a Rock.

When it was time for him to retire and enjoy a leisurely life, Zhongli chose to sever ties with Morax. Morax is Morax, Zhongli is Zhongli. Don't get them mixed up!

When it's time for someone to do the work, Zhongli chooses to merge with Morax once again. Zhongli is Morax, and Morax is Zhongli! When Morax does the work, it's Zhongli doing the work! So there's no problem!

Is this the standard of the Vago Monarch's flexibility? It's truly amazing!

However, Zhongli ignored Venti's speechless gaze and even calmly took a sip of tea.

"This is the life I want."

"..."

Listening to Zhongli's words, Venti felt that it was necessary to find a way to get Li Yue to go to Mondstadt again so that he could arrange for Li Yue to ascend to the position of Anemo Archon, and then he could also live a life of leisure!

Meanwhile, Venti was telling Aizen about Li Yue, whom she had been longing for.

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: By amplifying the power of the Enma's Blade and then applying it to himself, he can separate his Inner World consciousness into a separate yet interconnected entity. What an interesting ability.]

[Meme Lord: That's right, the advantage of this ability is that if any troublesome abilities appear within me, I can directly perform a divine cut! It won't let any trouble affect my very core.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: In a sense, this ability ensures that there won't be any internal problems. Although it doesn't significantly improve your combat abilities, it's excellent for ensuring your own safety.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: And there's something else I'm even more curious about.]

[Meme Lord: Oh? What's up?]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So, Li Yue-kun, your separation ability is becoming stronger and stronger. Will you eventually be able to separate the Soul King as well?]

[Meme Lord: You mean? You want me to use the Enma's Blade to slay the Soul King?]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: That's right. The Soul King's current purpose is to act as a wedge to stabilize the world. My world is unstable and needs the Soul King's power to maintain stability because he himself represents the rules, and the world also needs such rules to stabilize. Otherwise, my world will directly collide and be destroyed because it loses the Soul King's stabilizing power.]

In the world of Bleach, there must be a Soul King. Anyone who possesses the characteristics of Soul King will do. No matter who it is, there must be a Soul King to serve as a wedge, just as the undead must have a Lich King.

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: My initial thought was that before overthrowing the Soul King, I needed to capture Yhwach first, making Yhwach the new wedge. After all, I can't sit on the Soul King's throne for thousands of years without moving.]

Sitting on the throne for over a thousand years without moving reminded Li Yue of an emperor sitting on a golden toilet. If Aizen were to sit on the throne, it would indeed be quite miserable.

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: But controlling Yhwach is a bit difficult because Yhwach's existence is special. So when I'm controlling Yhwach, there's a chance that the Royal Guard will attack me. The Royal Guard members are not something that the Espada or Captain level Bleach can handle. I'll have to deal with them myself.]

[Hair Gel Man in the Sky: But right now, I think we can have Li Yue-kun directly separate the rules that stabilize the world within the Soul King's body. That way, we won't need Yhwach.]

For Aizen, if Li Yue's abilities could be useful to the Soul King, then Li Yue Aizen be like an insurance mechanism for him, making it much easier for Aizen to deal with both the Quincy the Royal Guard and the Seireitei at the same time.

[Meme Lord: Well, I really don't know, but if my Reiatsu is high enough, I should be able to give it a try.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: No, to be precise, as long as the Reiatsu is sufficient, it's absolutely possible, because in my world, Reiatsu represents everything.]

Yhwach was able to kill the Soul King, so his abilities are not invincible; it's just that his Reiatsu is strong enough. Therefore, in Aizen's eyes, as long as Li Yue's Reiatsu is sufficient, his Enma's Blade can be used on the Soul King!

Just as the two were discussing how to quickly increase Li Yue's Reiatsu.

A new message popped up in the Chat Group.

[So Arrogant! Hahaha! I've been transported to Otherworld!!!]

190. [So Arrogant! Already dead.]

[So Arrogant! Hahaha, I've been transported to Otherworld!]

[Give Me Some Face: Really? You time-traveled too?]

[So Arrogant! Yes, I never expected to time-travel directly.]

[The Perverted Scum Man: Wait, you weren't reincarnated after death? Did you just travel through time directly?]

[So Arrogant! Yeah, I just went to a convenience store, bought some things, and then I time-traveled as soon as I stepped out of the store.]

[Give Me Some Face: What is a convenience store?]

[Meme Lord: It's just a very ordinary store, mainly selling food and daily necessities.]

[This Perverted Scum Man: Didn't you encounter any Goddess or creator gods during your reincarnation?]

[So Arrogant! No, I just stepped out the door and found myself in Otherworld.]

[Give Me Some Face: Is this really okay? Group Leader, when traveling to other worlds, is it enough to just visit a shop?]

[Meme Lord: That's not quite right. The conditions for me to go to other worlds are quite strict. Even the scumbag guy who went to other worlds was reincarnated after death. His situation should be considered a special case.]

[The Perverted Scum Man: Why! Why can you travel to Otherworld so easily, while I had to die and meet a terrible Goddess?!]

[So Arrogant! Hmph, it turns out that not only are people's physical constitutions different, but even their experiences can be completely different!]

[Perverted Scum Man: Damn it, I never thought being transported to Otherworld would be so unfair!]

[Give Me Some Face: Although I've heard you guys say that traveling to Otherworld is common, I never really felt anything about it before. Now, though, I do.]

[So Arrogant! Hahaha, although I was quite surprised at first, now that I've arrived in Otherworld, I'm going to embark on a thrilling adventure!]

[Meme Lord: If possible, let's start a live stream!]

[So Arrogant: a live stream?]

[Meme Lord: That's right, a live stream.]

Li Yue is the only one who has used the live streaming feature so far. Most people who joined after that didn't know about it. However, there aren't many people joining the Chat Group yet.

[Meme Lord: Come on, let's do a live stream and show us the Otherworld you've traveled to!]

Under Li Yue's guidance, 486 learned how to open a live stream.

Soon, a live stream channel appeared in the Chat Group, and 486's screen was displayed.
