Chapter 206
"Welcome back, Azhdaha."
Morax crossed his arms and looked at the now-calm Azhdaha with a smile on his face.
"Morax, I feel so good, what's going on?"
"It was Li Yue who helped you separate the madness from your body."
Morax pointed to the sealed, dark consciousness beside him and explained.
"Li Yue?"
"It's me."
Li Yue descended from the head of the Azhdaha and landed beside Morax.
"Nice to meet you, Azhdaha. I am Li Yue, the current Geo Archon of Liyue."
"The current Rock King? Morax, are you in trouble too?"
Azhdaha looked at Morax and realized that Morax was a consciousness.
"You're dead?"
No, not at all.
Morax smiled.
"I simply stepped down from my divine position and let Li Yue become the Rock King, because I think he is more suitable to be the Rock King than I am."
"In return, I separated a part of my consciousness and gave him my power. This is the contract between us."
"Do you think he's more suitable to be the Rock King?"
Azhdaha looked at Li Yue with a puzzled expression. As everyone knows, the Adepti of Liyue are all fans of the Geo Archon. The reason they take care of Liyue is because of their contract with Morax. Azhdaha is also one of the contract holders. He identifies with Morax, not the Geo Archon. So when Morax says he identifies with Li Yue, he doesn't feel that he identifies with him.
"That's right, because he possesses special powers. You see, the reason you've regained your sanity is because he helped you expel the madness from your body."
"Um?"
Upon Azhdaha understood.
He looked into the darkness sealed by Morax and realized that it was where his consciousness resided.
"I have separated the madness from your body Azhdaha, and allowed your reason to control your body. In this way, even if you suffer Erosion, you will not become mad, because the concept of madness has been separated from you."
"To separate them directly from the concept?"
"That's right. Because you lose the concept of madness, you will become very rational in the future. You may feel joy or sadness, but you will never be crazy. All your actions, after being guided by other emotions, will eventually return to rationality."
"Wouldn't that mean it wouldn't have any problems even if it experienced Erosion?"
Azhdaha looked at Li Yue with surprise and delight.
"That's right, but you don't need to worry about Erosion Azhdaha, because we are looking for a solution to Erosion, and we will find one soon."
Zhongli has invested a lot in resistance in the world of Suqing, so Zhongli ability to resist Erosion is already starting to work wonders. Once Nahida's purification skill is upgraded, they really won't have to worry about Erosion anymore. At that time, Nahida will be able to make sure that the people of Teyvat don't have to worry about Erosion.
"And all of this was only possible because of Li Yue."
"I see!"
Azhdaha finally understood why Morax agreed with Li Yue. It wasn't just because Li Yue could help him solve the crazy things; Li Yue could even solve the Erosion, which was very important for Liyue and even Teyvat.
If that's the case, not only Morax, Azhdaha could agree with Li Yue.
"We came here this time to help you regain your senses so that you can leave and regain your freedom."
"Thank you so much."
Being able to gain freedom is naturally better than not having freedom. Although Azhdaha was sealed voluntarily, why be sealed if you can avoid it? It's definitely better not to be sealed.
"Now, we can break the seal and leave."
Li Yue wielded the Enma's Blade, severing all the rocky ridges around Azhdaha, Azhdaha.
363. Zhongli, let me introduce you to a very important person.
Beneath the South Heaven Gate, Dragon-Quelling Tree.
Morax smiled as he looked at the huge crater in front of him. Beside Zhongli, Li Yue slowly sheathed the Enma's Blade. In front of them stood a burly man with the same Rosy Orange gradient hair color as Zhongli.
Morax looked like a tall, refined man, while the burly man next to him looked like a heavyweight boxing champion, almost 2 meters tall.
Clearly, this very robust-looking man was none other than Azhdaha, who had just emerged from the seal.
Because the seal Azhdaha the tree was broken, the Dragon-Quelling Tree also disappeared.
After the Azhdaha emerged, with Zhongli's help, he transformed into human form, which was to facilitate his life in Liyue.
After all, if they maintain the original form, there are very few places in Liyue Azhdaha live. They can't just let him lie motionless in the mountains forever.
So Morax helped Azhdaha transform into human form, making it easier for him to live in Liyue.
In particular, Li Yue Li Yue invited Azhdaha to join Liyue Harbor and become the Grand Marshal of Liyue, responsible for commanding the entire Liyue army, while the political affairs were handed over to Zhongli.
"Me, the Grand Marshal? And then some ordinary person Grand Governor?"
Looking at his former sealed place, Azhdaha Tuo asked Li Yue beside him.
"That's right. Since the Grand Governor is already filled, the position we can give you now is Grand Marshal. Originally, the Grand Governor was responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Liyue. But now, I think we can separate the political affairs and the military and let you, Azhdaha, be in charge of the military."
"Even though you say that, how could you let an ordinary person be in charge of the overall administration of Liyue? What abilities does that human have?"
Azhdaha did not object to being made Grand Marshal, since Morax was also present, so he was willing to continue to fulfill the previous contract with Morax.
"That man is my friend. He is very knowledgeable and has also gained Morax's approval, which is why he is able to take charge of government affairs."
"Someone recognized by Morax?"
Azhdaha looked at Morax in surprise, and Morax nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"Ah, that's right, someone I approve of."
At this point, Morax suddenly realized something. The ordinary person he had acknowledged was naturally Zhongli. No one knew better than him who Zhongli was, but he knew now. However, the Azhdaha did not know. And most importantly, Zhongli did not know that the Azhdaha had already appeared.
So Morax thought it was worth having some fun, especially since Zhongli, the main body, always made his clone handle government affairs. He wanted to make Zhongli happy too.
"That person's knowledge is indeed as Li Yue said, and he is perfectly capable of handling the political affairs of Liyue."
"Oh? Even you approve of it. I can understand you approving of it, Li Yue, but I'm curious that you approve of this ordinary human being as well."
"Then let's go back and take a look together."
Morax said, glancing at Li Yue beside him.
"Oh, I forgot I was going to open the door. Please wait a moment."
Li Yue drew the Enma's Blade, which she had just sheathed, and slashed at the air. A spatial Portal appeared, and the other side of the Portal led directly to the backyard of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"Let's go, our office is right across the street."
"Hmm, very good. I'm just about to go and see what kind of abilities that human who became the Grand Governor of Liyue has."
Azhdaha took the lead and was the first to step into the Portal.
Because Li Yue intended for Azhdaha to become the Grand Marshal, he didn't need to change his name. Unlike Zhongli, who gave himself a false name and hid his identity, Azhdaha appeared before the people of Liyue directly using his real name, just like the Seven Arbiter-Generals. They were all Adepti who used their real names directly, and their high status meant they didn't need to hide their identities. This was completely different from Zhongli's approach.
Azhdaha stepped through the Portal and arrived directly in the backyard of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Looking at the office inside the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he found that there was only Ganyu in the office, and no one else.
"Ganyu?"
Of course, Ganyu Azhdaha knew him. Could it be that Ganyu was someone recognized by Morax? No, that can't be. Ganyu is a demigod, not an ordinary person at all.
"Who are you?"
Ganyu was momentarily stunned when she saw the burly man who had suddenly appeared in the office. She didn't know who he was.
"He is Azhdaha."
Morax also entered the office and began to explain.
"Azhdaha?"
Ganyu saw Morax and paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"Azhdaha!?"
"Yes, it's me."
Azhdaha crossed his arms and looked at Ganyu with a grin.
"Azhdaha, you... you've emerged from the seal?"
"That's right, I've escaped the seal, all thanks to Li Yue."
"So it was Lord Geo Archon who rescued you."
Ganyu immediately showed a joyful expression. Azhdaha was also very important to Liyue, but he had to be sealed away because he lost his mind. Now that he could come out of the seal, it was naturally the best thing.
"Where is the Grand Governor?"
Azhdaha also understood that Ganyu was not the human Grand Governor, which meant that the Grand Governor was someone else.
"Mr. Zhongli? Mr. Zhongli has gone out."
"Mr. Zhongli?"
Azhdaha was puzzled for a moment, then realized that the Grand Governor's name was Zhongli.
Where did he go?
"As for Mr. Zhongli, he... went to see a play."
In Ganyu's view, Azhdaha wanted to find the Emperor, so Ganyu gave a somewhat awkward reply.
"To watch opera?"
But in Azhdaha's view, this guy named Zhongli wasn't in the office today, but went out to watch a play instead!
"That's right, Mr. Zhongli went to see a play. Mr. Yun Jin is preparing a new play, so Mr. Zhongli went to see it. He had already booked the tickets beforehand."
Where does he go to watch opera?
Azhdaha wanted to go and see for himself just how capable this guy named Zhongli was, that he dared to skip work to go listen to a play!
How could someone like that possibly manage Liyue? Absolutely not!
Azhdaha looked at Morax beside him and asked him with his eyes.
This is the kind of humanity you approve of? Are you kidding me? How can someone like this manage Liyue?
Morax didn't speak, but helplessly spread his hands.
Azhdaha didn't look at Morax, but instead looked at Li Yue beside him.
"Li Yue, take me to find Zhongli."
"No problem."
Li Yue smiled and nodded, then slashed the air with the Enma's Blade in her hand, and the Portal reappeared, with Yunhan Society on the Portal side.
Morax did not go over, because he was already gone, so Li Yue and Azhdaha entered the Portal.
As soon as she landed, Li Yue saw Zhongli and immediately spoke.
"Zhongli, come quick, let me introduce you to a very important person!"
364. Zhongli, hurry up and thank Azhdaha!
Inside the Yunhan Society, preparations were underway on the stage, while in the audience below, especially in the VIP seats, Zhongli looked at Azhdaha sitting opposite him with some surprise.
As the Vago Monarch, he recognized at a glance that the person opposite him was indeed Azhdaha. The amount of Geo Element energy that was even more terrifying than his own could only be Azhdaha. He never expected that Azhdaha would appear here, and in human form at that.
But when he thought about Li Yue following him, he suddenly understood why this had happened.
If it were Li Yue, it would be entirely possible to release Azhdaha from the seal. Moreover, with Li Yue's sword, it seems entirely feasible to release Azhdaha from the seal and suppress Azhdaha's madness!
After all, the abilities of Li Yue's knife were truly exaggerated for Teyvat.
After Li Yue brought Azhdaha to Zhongli, she immediately began to introduce him to him.
"Zhongli, let me introduce you. This is the Azhdaha, who fought alongside the Vago Monarch when Liyue was first established! He deserves at least a third of the credit for the founding of Liyue!"
"As a Liyue citizen, you should thank Azhdaha the life you have today. Come and kowtow to the King."
"No, no, that's not true. My only skill is combat. I haven't contributed much to the development of Liyue; more than a third of it."
Azhdaha raised his hand to indicate that he had finished blowing the horn, and then immediately asked someone to kowtow to him. That's outrageous.
