It was said that to cope with the aggressive Seven of Teyvat, the first Immortal Qin Emperor to enter the Dao, in order not to be surpassed by latecomers, had lowered his status to discuss the Dao with many historical emperors. It was rumored they wanted to join forces to create a Star Lord cultivation system suitable for former monarchs like themselves.
Li Bai simply watched these matters as entertainment.
As the Taibai Star Lord, he had no burdens, no idol baggage, and no need to climb the rankings or try to be the boss.
"Hmph! I, the Director, have long known that guy Zhongli wasn't simple, but I didn't expect him to have already ascended to immortality!"
Director Hu raised her eyebrows, somewhat annoyed. "That guy even sent back a huge bill a few days ago. If I hadn't expanded into new-era businesses and significantly increased our revenue, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would have almost gone bankrupt!"
"And it turns out this guy is actually that powerful?"
Don't think that just because there are many Star Lords now, they are worthless.
Most people are still just at the stage of pure thoughts, perceiving their inner self, drawing in astral energy, and embarking on the path of cultivation.
Even with the supreme methods passed down by the Primordial Great Heavenly Venerate, which prevent those of dull talent from being blocked out of the path of cultivation, it is impossible for them to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
Not to mention the even more time-consuming Nine Transformations of Void Refining.
Even Hu Tao, with her remarkable talent, is currently stuck at the threshold of becoming a Star Lord and needs more time to break through.
Speaking of this, Hu Tao said with great interest:
"However, you two gentlemen have such elegant, immortal bearing, and you know that guy Zhongli. Could it be that, like our consultant, you are also people of the Immortal Dao?"
Su Mo glanced at Hu Tao. The girl did not show any timidity and openly revealed a bright smile.
"Hehe."
"You'll have to ask your consultant about that."
Su Mo and Li Bai exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes.
[I remember Morax saying he wanted to retire and ascend to immortality freely, right?]
[It's said he tried to retire last time, but looking at it now, he didn't succeed?]
[Then this time?]
[It's possible...]
The two exchanged a series of glances, both clearly understanding the meaning hidden in the other's eyes.
Immediately.
Both men wore an identical look of amusement on their faces.
They both understood each other's thoughts.
Yes, both of them were going to Liyue to watch the show...
"Speaking of which, during this period, Lumine's brother has made quite a big scene..."
While the group was sightseeing, Hu Tao suddenly noticed the Hilichurls on the shore and couldn't help but sigh. "And over in Snezhnaya, those Khaenriah survivors are also causing some commotion."
Nowadays, many of the secrets of Teyvat from the past are no longer secrets to many people.
For example, the truth about the Hilichurls.
Hu Tao had also only recently learned that these Hilichurls, who spread across the wilderness and could never be killed off, were actually the survivors of Khaenriah who had been cursed by the Heavenly Principles in the past.
"Sigh, I am not a citizen originating from the old Teyvat, so it is not my place to judge the rights and wrongs of it."
Upon hearing this, Li Bai looked at the Hilichurls on the shore, a look of pity appearing in his eyes. "However, in my opinion, at least the actions of Phanes in the past were not problematic!"
Facing the culprits who attempted to destroy the world, in Li Bai's view, no matter how cruel the punishment, it was not excessive at all.
You say some of the citizens of Khaenriah were innocent?
Hehe, in Li Bai's view, there is no such thing as innocent or not innocent.
As a part of Khaenriah, one is inherently bound to the glory and destruction of the entire empire; there is no such thing as being innocent.
"Hilichurls, huh?"
Su Mo was lost in thought.
As someone who had once personally cast the Hilichurl curse in the black bullet world, he understood the operating mechanism of this curse very well.
Punishment was not its core logic.
With the many negative forces—such as the Abyss, sin, curses, chronic ailments, and the Seven Deadly Sins—being purified along with death as they were killed over and over again...
This was the core essence of it!
The Hilichurl curse, in essence, was a world-class Great Curse!
