At this moment, Zhongli Residence had already been razed to the ground.
Even some nearby houses, along with parts of Shrek Academy's campus, had been completely destroyed.
Qian Renxue, who had returned to Xue Qinghe's appearance, hid behind Zhongli, trembling uncontrollably.
She had witnessed the arrival of the Ruinous Dragon King firsthand and directly faced that terrifying pressure, as though it had come from a primordial age.
The other party's violent, furious emotions had nearly caused her to collapse.
Fortunately, with a casual wave of Zhongli's hand, a golden shield wrapped around her, allowing her to endure it.
"Is this the Ruinous Dragon King, capable of rivaling Morax?"
"Just his aura and pressure, and it isn't even directed at me..."
"Almost killed me!"
"Xue Qinghe's" face was deathly pale, and her entire body trembled beyond her control.
"Mo—rax!"
"It is time to settle all our old debts!!"
"Roar~"
The Ruinous Dragon King, who had just been summoned here, was still somewhat dazed.
But the moment he sensed Morax's aura, he immediately "woke up" and flew into a rage!
Instinctively, he roared those words at Zhongli!
Zhongli looked up at the Ruinous Dragon King thoughtfully.
The Sky Screen could actually peer into his heart and know whom he missed most...
The Yakshas, Guizhong, and the Immortals had all been saved by him.
Only this old friend had suffered too much erosion. There was simply nothing he could do.
Having personally sealed away the Ruinous Dragon King was a form of erosion for Zhongli, an exceptionally cruel thing.
And after arriving on Douluo Continent...
With Guizhong, the Immortals, and the Yakshas watching over Liyue, nothing would go wrong there.
Only the Ruinous Dragon King remained a source of worry in his heart.
If he were absent and Rottard broke the seal, how could Liyue, without the Geo Archon, resist him?
Zhongli knew the Ruinous Dragon King's strength all too well!
Guizhong and the others could not stop him!
Thus, the Ruinous Dragon King truly was the "person" he missed most...
Now that his old friend had come to Douluo Continent, Liyue was safe!
The Sentient Beings of Douluo Star: What about us?!
Under "Xue Qinghe's" astonished, terrified gaze.
Zhongli took a step forward, amber light flashing across his body.
Divine armor instantly appeared upon him, while the runes hidden across his body blazed to life, enveloping him.
"Xue Qinghe's" eye twitched, and she was somewhat speechless.
A man's words were nothing but lies!
He had claimed he had abdicated godhood and was merely an ordinary person!
Yet in an instant, he had returned to the posture of a "god."
"Heh~"
Just then, the space not far before the Ruinous Dragon King suddenly shattered, and an enormous golden-eyed black dragon emerged from within.
The moment it felt the Ruinous Dragon King's pressure, its entire body shuddered, and it nearly fell to the ground.
It had experienced the pressure of the Silver Dragon King, the Golden Dragon King, the Nine Great Dragon Kings, and even the Dragon God.
Yet their pressure was still far inferior to that of the Ruinous Dragon King before it!
Too terrifying.
Did Master truly have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Ruinous Dragon King?
Di Tian swallowed.
His eyes held only the Ruinous Dragon King's figure, and he had not noticed Zhongli or "Xue Qinghe."
"Lord Ruinous Dragon King..."
The moment Di Tian spoke, an amber-gold dragon claw greeted him!
"???"
Di Tian's mind was filled with question marks. What was going on?
With just one claw, Di Tian's entire dragon body was sent flying, vanishing like a dark meteor!
Everyone in Heaven Dou City: "..."
If they were not mistaken, that golden-eyed black dragon was Di Tian, ranked third on the Hidden Expert Ranking, right?
Di Tian, a Level Two God, had been slapped away by the Ruinous Dragon King?
Just how terrifying was this?
"Ant, do not overstep yourself!!"
After slapping Di Tian away, the Ruinous Dragon King roared again.
The Sentient Beings: "..."
That was Di Tian, a Level Two God!
Before the Ruinous Dragon King, he was as weak as a sheet of paper!
And he had even called Di Tian an ant...
If Di Tian was an ant in the Ruinous Dragon King's eyes, then what were they, the ants in Di Tian's eyes...?
"Do you need the strength of a Level Two God just to be an ant now?"
In the distance, Dugu Bo's eye twitched as he muttered.
As a Titled Douluo, he did not even qualify to be an ant!
After saying that, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan's hand and vanished from where they stood.
Heaven Dou City was simply too dangerous. He could not protect her!
They had better run as far away as possible, lest they be caught in the crossfire.
Watching Di Tian get slapped away, Zhongli's eye twitched slightly. His mouth opened, yet he hesitated to speak.
After a long while.
Zhongli, clad in divine armor, arrived before Rottard and stood level with his head.
"Rottard, it is me..."
A low murmur filled with memories echoed throughout Heaven Dou City.
That voice was dignified and sorrowful, yet filled with a sense of safety.
Upon hearing it.
The enraged Ruinous Dragon King froze, as though he had fallen into some distant memory.
"A jade-shrouded stone can illuminate the eight directions."
"Brilliant as the stars, unrivaled across all."
Zhongli spoke slowly, looking into Rottard's scarlet eyes as a trace of sorrow crossed his face.
"Heavenly Star, mountains and seas take form..."
Zhongli slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and paused.
Before he could continue, the Ruinous Dragon King, lost in thought, slowly spoke.
"...Stars arise from the barren earth, shining like... the blazing sun..."
"Mo...rax."
"Mhm~"
"It has been... a long time."
"Old friend, it has indeed been a long time..."
Wrapped in amber light, the Ruinous Dragon King's body slowly disappeared.
In the end, he took human form, with a pair of dark brown dragon horns atop his head.
His features greatly resembled Morax's. Anyone unaware of their relationship might have thought they were brothers.
The two "men" looked at each other, then smiled.
"This is not Teyvat Continent. Erosion will no longer wear away your memories."
In only a few moments, Zhongli told the Ruinous Dragon King about the information regarding Douluo Continent and the Sky Screen.
Though still confused, the Ruinous Dragon King understood most of it.
The reason he had appeared here was because the Sky Screen overhead had transported him over.
The "person" Morax missed most?
At that thought, the corners of the Ruinous Dragon King's mouth rose slightly!
The two returned to the ground, and Zhongli also reverted to his ordinary human appearance.
Glancing at the destruction caused by the Ruinous Dragon King's arrival, Zhongli could not help looking toward him.
"This place can no longer be lived in."
"Old friend..."
"???"
Rottard looked at Zhongli in confusion.
"Morax, what is it?"
"Mhm..."
"Did you bring any money?"
Rottard: "???"
No, did he hear himself?
After being sealed for so long, how could he possibly have any money on him?
Besides, was money not something he had created?
The Ruinous Dragon King wore a bewildered expression and nearly transformed back into his original form.
Morax's erosion had gotten worse!
At this moment, "Xue Qinghe," who had not fled, shakily walked toward the two.
Her back was already soaked with sweat, and her face was pale as paper, yet her heart grew increasingly resolute.
"Xue Qinghe" bowed to Zhongli and the Ruinous Dragon King before speaking.
"Welcome, Lord Ruinous Dragon King."
"If the Emperor Lord and my lord do not mind, Heaven Dou... the Crown Prince's Mansion can cover the expenses for both of you!"
