Chapter 200 Farewell to Everyone in Qun Yu Pavilion
After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, everyone in the Qun Yu Pavilion shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing they didn't understand.
To put it bluntly, the Emperor wants to retire.
But there are still some small doubts.
Ningguang took two steps forward and asked Gu Chen with great concern:
"Then, Master Gu Chen, may I ask whether the Emperor will be able to return legitimately in the future?"
Gu Chen shrugged:
“That depends on the specific circumstances.
If there is any trouble in the future that even I cannot solve, or that I cannot solve alone, the Emperor may return with good reason.
Didn’t I give him a chance to be rehired?
To outsiders, hasn't the Emperor been sleeping since he was killed?
By then, the Emperor will be able to legitimately return under the pretext of regaining consciousness and protecting Liyue again."
Ningguang nodded thoughtfully.
Another person who was a little concerned was Keqing, who looked a little nervous:
"Lord Gou Chenxing, I want to ask... where will the Emperor go after he abdicates?
Should I retreat to the mountains to cultivate myself, or visit old friends in another country, or transform into an ordinary person and live in seclusion in the city?"
Gu Chen looked at Keqing with a smile:
"Why? Are you so concerned about the Emperor's whereabouts?
Spying on the Emperor's whereabouts at will is a serious crime."
It was clearly a joke, but Keqing was startled. She waved her hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, I don't dare spy on the Emperor's whereabouts. I just...
As the Seven Stars of Liyue, can we know the general whereabouts of the Emperor?"
After thinking about it, Gu Chen shook his head:
“I do know where the Emperor went after retirement, but I won’t tell you.
After all, I have to protect the Emperor's privacy. This is also the Emperor's own intention.
You don't need to be discouraged.
The Emperor has many faces, and perhaps one day, he will unexpectedly meet you."
Having said that, Gu Chen stopped hinting and just smiled meaningfully.
Keqing felt a little lost at this moment:
"That's it...
So to speak, we have passed the test set by the Emperor this time.
Also, from now on, the Emperor will abdicate and no longer interfere in Liyue's political affairs. Liyue will be completely handed over to us.
I had obviously been looking forward to this kind of thing before.
But why do we feel panic when it actually happens? "
With a smile, Gu Chen comforted Keqing:
“It’s right to feel this sense of trepidation.
After all, the people of Liyue will be in charge of governing Liyue themselves, and the responsibilities of you, the Seven Stars of Liyue, have suddenly become extremely heavy.
Try your best to stand up straight, this is what the Emperor expects of you."
After casually encouraging Keqing and Ningguang for a while, Gu Chen said no more.
He looked at everyone around him, at the undamaged and intact Qun Yu Pavilion, and thought that compared to the original game plot, there had indeed been huge changes.
Maintaining this slightly joyful mood, Gu Chen finally decided to say goodbye to everyone around him:
"Well, everyone, you all know that I, Gou Chenxing, don't usually take charge of things, so I'll leave the rest of the finishing touches to you.
I'm leaving now, I have some other small things to do."
Hearing that Gu Chen was about to leave, everyone around him nodded and said goodbye.
After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Gu Chen flew into the sky and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
After leaving the Qun Yu Pavilion, Gu Chen flew straight to the cliff where Zhongli and Paimeng were.
That’s right, he can’t forget Paimon. He had entrusted Paimon to Zhongli before.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Chen fell from the sky and landed on the cliff.
As soon as he landed, Paimon, trailing bits of starlight, happily floated over to greet him:
"Gu Chen! You're back!"
Smiling and pinching Paimon's cheek, Gu Chen replied lovingly:
"Yes, I'm back, and I'm back with great victory!"
Paimon was particularly excited, happy for his partner from the bottom of his heart:
"We all saw the battle just now, Gu Chen, you are so majestic!
The silver giant you turned into was so strong that Osel was no match for you and was defeated by you in just a few moves.
Even if someone from the abyss comes out to cause trouble, it cannot completely change the trend of defeat!
Gu Chen, you are awesome!"
To be honest, Paimon is really supportive, and this little guy provides so much emotional value.
As long as Paimon is around, I am always happy and cheerful.
In response to Paimeng's admiration, Gu Chen didn't say anything else, but was just full of joy.
After being happy for a while, Paimeng became confused again:
“That’s right, Gu Chen.
Why did you transform into that silver giant after you took out the Evolution Truster?
What about that silver giant?
Is it your true self? Or your incarnation?"
Following Paimon's question, Zhongli beside him folded his arms and nodded:
“That’s my doubt, too.”
Looking at the two of them, Gu Chen fell into a little hesitation:
"Well... the inside story is a bit complicated, how should I explain it to you?
That silver giant cannot be considered my real body, nor can it be considered my incarnation.
Because I am that silver giant, and that silver giant is me, we are one and the same.
If I had to say, it's probably two different forms, both of which are me."
Paimeng was confused after hearing this. He held his forehead and floated there, his mind almost in a mess.
Zhongli actually had some understanding of it, after all, he was knowledgeable and experienced.
After being confused for a while, Paimeng decided not to dwell on those confusing questions anymore. She continued to ask:
"Where's the Evolution Trustee?"
Gu Chen thought and answered:
“It’s a kind of transformation device.
It is called a transformation device, and it sounds like its only function is transformation, but in fact it is not.
Essentially, it's more like an...energy stimulator.
Through the influence of the Evolution Truster, I stimulate the light energy within me. The two intersect and merge, achieving the essence of my true self, which is the silver giant."
Paimeng was still confused and seemed to understand something.
Again, it was Zhongli who understood.
Then, Zhongli asked the question that interested him:
"So, what is the name of that state of yours, or that silver giant? What is its name?"
When asked this, Gu Chen looked serious.
He put his hands on his hips and answered seriously:
"Ultraman Nexus."
"Ultraman Nexus?"
Zhongli nodded, as if thinking about something.
Gu Chen added in detail:
"Ultraman is not a surname, Nexus is a name.
If I have to say, Ultraman is more like a synonym for a race.
The Ultra Clan, the Light Clan, even so."
Zhongli thought more and made more associations, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light:
"The Ultra Clan, the Light Clan...
Life forms of light...
So that's how it is, Gu Chen, you are from this race."
After understanding this, Zhongli had more questions. He looked at Gu Chen with sparkling eyes:
"I have never heard of this race before. May I ask where you live?"
