After walking out of the cave, Zhongli re-sealed the entrance of the cave. Although part of Ruo Tuo's wear and tear has been absorbed now, which can keep part of Ruo Tuo's consciousness sane, the original body is still very dangerous.
Everyone returned to Liyue, Sasuke put on the mask of the Fools again, and Paimon hid in Sasuke's backpack again.
Zhongli handed Kun Jun, who was still unconscious, to the patrolling Qianyan Army, and then led a group of people back to the Hall of Purity.
If the newly appeared Ruo Tuo wants to live legally in Liyue, he needs a reasonable identity.
Then the new employees of Purse Life Hall are perfect.
The Hall of Rebirth itself is not a good place in the eyes of most passers-by. After all, no one would like to go to a funeral parlor for fear of getting bad luck.
After customizing a set of uniforms for the Rebirth Hall for Ruo Tuo, Zhongli said to Ruo Tuo:
"My current identity is just an ordinary Liyue person, so from now on, just call me by my current name, Zhongli."
"Okay, Morax."
"..."
"Hahaha, okay, Zhongli, but I still prefer to call you by your previous name."
Ruo Tuo laughed loudly. Now that he could fight side by side with Zhongli, he was obviously relaxed and happy, and he even made a joke.
Zhongli also laughed, but still added:
"I planned my own fake death, so it's better not to call me by this name."
"You should also think of a new name for your current self, which will be more convenient."
Ruo Tuo touched his chin and began to think deeply.
Wendy poked her head in at this time and said:
"Bards are the best at choosing names. Old man, Ruotuo Dragon King, do you want to listen to my opinion?"
Then, Wendy didn't even wait for Zhongli to respond, and continued to speak:
"There is a lot of emphasis on choosing a name like this. It is best to choose a name that is related to the previous name but is opposite. Look at Ruotuo. If it has the same sound as hot, then choose the antonym of cold."
"Tuotongtuo gives people a dull feeling, so let's take the opposite meaning of Feng. Why not just call Ruotuo's new name Leng Feng? How about it?"
This involves the homophony of different world pronunciation, which is difficult for Sasuke to understand, but when he heard the term Leng Feng, what appeared in front of Sasuke was a sharp weapon.
"Good suggestion, Barbatos, but the name sounds too sharp, and my body is still being sealed. What this body carries is only my previous knowledge. I want to use this knowledge to make up for my previous hatred of Liyue.
It hurts, so I’ll call it gnosis.”
"Smartness?"
Wendy quickly thought clearly about the profound meaning contained in it, and took a deep look at Ruo Tuo.
"Oh? It seems you are very ambitious this time."
Ruo Tuo smiled and said nothing.
"Okay, this trip to Liyue, although I didn't attend the funeral of my old friend, I got a lot of unexpected gains, so it is considered a worthwhile trip."
Wendy stretched and then walked towards the door of the Hall of Purity.
"It seems that the old man still has a lot of arrangements of his own. Now that your matter has been resolved, I will not stay in Liyue any longer. After all, it may affect your plans, old man, so I will go back first."
Zhong Li stood up, came to the door, and personally opened the door to the Hall of Rebirth for Wendy.
"Thank you very much for your help this time. I owe you a favor. After the incident is over, I will bring some good wine and visit Mondstadt in person to thank you."
"Oh? Can we finally drink together again? Although it's just the two of us...but it's not bad, so I'll just look forward to it."
After saying goodbye to Paimon Sasuke, Wendy walked out of the room and left gracefully.
With Wendy's departure, the entire Rebirth Hall seemed to be a lot cleaner.
Zhongli made tea for himself, Sasuke and Ruotuo.
"Now that Ruo Tuo's matter has been resolved, the next thing to do is Liyue's matter."
Zhongli took a sip of tea.
"Uchiha Sasuke, because this is related to another contract of mine, I can't reveal too much. I just hope you can do me another favor."
"Because of the sudden incident of Ruotuo's seal, the previous plan was disrupted, so a certain degree of redress is needed. I hope you can help to maintain your previous identity. A person who was wronged because of the Immortal Ceremony
, thus being exploited by fools.”
"I need you and the young master to continue to advance his plan and hold the ceremony of sending immortals."
Sasuke nodded.
If he didn't understand the purpose of Zhongli's fake death before, he had some guesses after getting a glimpse of Dragon King Ruotuo's memory and what he had seen along the way.
Or it has to do with wear and tear.
Any life will wear out and deteriorate in the long river of time. This is the case for the powerful Dragon King Ruotuo, and the same is true for Zhongli.
So he is delegating power now.
Without his intervention and Ruo Tuo's seal, Liyue would have been in chaos as it moved forward according to Young Master's plan. The Immortals were investigating the faults of Liyue's Seven Stars, while the Fools took the opportunity to attack, and all the pressure was put on Liyue.
The current center of power is Liyue Qixing.
If the Liyue Seven Stars can handle this disaster, then they are Liyue's qualified successors. As the Rock God, he can completely delegate power and live in Liyue Port as the human body Zhongli.
But the original plan was disrupted by him. Because of him and Wendy, the immortals in Liyue had already guessed that the Rock God had not passed away, and most likely would not choose to make a fuss, so the pressure on the Seven Stars of Liyue would be reduced.
Therefore, Zhongli's plan to advance Young Master is to increase the pressure on Qixing from the Fools.
But now that he is able to absorb and alleviate wear and tear, Zhongli seems to be able to avoid retiring due to wear and tear. He will continue to lead Liyue to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
Sasuke told Zhongli his thoughts, and the other party smiled and said:
"You can indeed alleviate the wear and tear, but you will have your own affairs after all, and you can't stay in Liyue forever."
"And one day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates. You have completed your duties. You have worked hard. Now go and rest."
"At that time, I stopped for a long time in the crowd of people, and kept asking myself, have I completed my responsibilities?"
"I have been protecting them before, but if I really leave one day, will they be able to keep going?"
"Liyue needs to start a new era, an era that changes from divine rule to human rule."
"In fact, in theory, Ruotuo Dragon King should also be a test left to them, but it is still a bit beyond the scope for them now."
Lingzhi said angrily at this time:
"Mo... Zhongli, do you mean that if there is no Uchiha Sasuke this time, I will still be part of your plan?"
"You guys... don't worry, I'd better go and make weapons for little brother Sasuke."
After saying that, he also walked out of the Hall of Rebirth.

ps: Let’s talk about the reason why Ruo Tuo is called Ling Zhi, a slightly feminine name. One thing that needs to be made clear first is that the background system of the original god refers to Gnostic mythology.
(The strange pronunciation of "ruo" in "re" usually only appears in Buddhist scriptures, such as "prajna re". The pronunciation of "ruo" in medieval Chinese is /?ia/, which is generally used for transliteration
j?a in Sanskrit, or ?a in Pali. "Prajna" (Middle Chinese/puɑn?ia/) is translated from Pali ????? The corresponding Sanskrit word of pa??a is?
?????? praj?a.
According to this Sanskrit-Chinese antiphonal rule, "Ruotuo" /?ia dɑ/ should correspond to Sanskrit ????? j?ata, or to Pali ????ata.
Here is a voiced sound, which is generally only used to translate the voiced sound da or dha in Sanskrit. However, if t is sandwiched between two vowels, it will be voiced by the vowels and become pronounced like d. Therefore, if ta is followed by a
After the vowel, "Tuo" will be used to translate it, such as "Amita".
???? j?ata is an adjective, meaning "known". A related noun is ????? j?ana, which means "knowledge". It is generally transliterated as "Jana" in Buddhist scriptures
, or translated as "wisdom".
????? j?ana has an ancient Greek cognate: γν?σi? gnosis, and an English cognate: knowledge. All three mean "knowledge" and all come from a common ancestor, the original seal.
The root word of European language is ?neh?-. Please note that j?a-, gno- and know are very similar.
Gnosticism is generally translated as "gnosis" in the context of Gnosticism. In fact, Gnosticism is named after this, so it is sometimes called "Gnosticism". Gnosticism
The ultimate pursuit of human beings is to obtain "gnosis". Gnosis is not ordinary knowledge, but a kind of ultimate knowledge about the nature of things that transcends material nature. Gnostics believe that only by obtaining gnosis can we obtain
Salvation, Gnosis is salvation itself.)
So here Ruota changed his name to Lingzhi after experiencing Sasuke's ability to relieve wear and tear. He had great ambitions.
