Genshin Impact: While strolling around Teyvat, I was driven mad by a player.

"Um...that one."

"What you mean by a thousand years is probably a rather general statement."

"If we're talking about whether there's anyone throughout history who could assassinate the emperor, perhaps there really is one."

"That one arrived in Liyue in the early stages of the Demon God War, nearing the middle stage."

Zhongli thought for a moment, then looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him and began to speak.

"So...who exactly is he?"

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked with a curious expression.

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream also became excited.

It's coming! It's coming!

We finally know who those riddle-solving immortals were talking about!

Snowflake glanced at the comments and was also quite excited.

Has the moment finally arrived to reveal the truth?!

A moment later, Zhongli began his narration.

"According to the book, when the early stages of the Demon God War were about to end, an Outer God came to Liyue."

"The so-called Outer Gods refer to gods who have no subjects outside the Liyue region."

"For some unknown reason, he engaged in a world-destroying battle with the Rock King Emperor."

"The two gods are almost evenly matched."

"No one knows the outcome of that battle."

"But in Liyue, the more popular opinion is that the Geo Archon will win."

"And this is also the conclusion generally accepted by the Liyue historians."

"The reason is simple: if the Emperor had lost, Liyue would not be what it is today."

"However, according to records, it was almost shortly after that battle ended."

"An unknown immortal appeared in Liyue."

"And that unknown immortal stayed in Liyue for about ten years before leaving Liyue."

Ying and Paimon were already dumbfounded when they heard this.

Qiu Nian just smiled.

Chapter 15 The Terror of the Demon God and the Comparison Between Games and the Real World

"My God, an Outer God without any subjects is actually on par with the Rock King Emperor in strength!"

"A battle that destroyed the heavens and the earth... what kind of battle was it...?"

After hearing Zhongli's story, Paimon shrank back, muttering in shock.

Travelers may not know what this concept means.

But as her guide, she knew perfectly well.

At this point, many viewers in the live stream felt that what was said was as good as nothing at all.

They were talking about external gods and unknown immortals, but there was no useful information whatsoever.

Some players and fans exclaimed that the alien god was awesome.

Some players were surprised and exclaimed "Holy crap!"

However, most players are currently unaware of what it means to be almost equal in strength to the Rock King.

They only knew that the Rock King Emperor was the most ancient god, but they did not know his combat power.

Snowflakes only felt that the Outer God was very powerful.

There were no other emotions besides that.

Just like our fire.

She still doesn't know what it means to be on par with the Rock God in terms of strength.

So I wasn't too surprised.

"Zhongli, you mean...?"

"You suspect that the unknown immortal is the outer god who fought against the Rock King Emperor?"

Ying looked at Zhongli in front of her and asked, waving her hand.

"hehe..."

"This is not my opinion, but the opinion of historians."

Zhongli chuckled softly upon hearing this, then shook his head.

Why do the historians of Liyue think this way?

Paimon was somewhat puzzled.

Just then, Qiu Nian spoke.

"Because an external god without subjects means that he has no attachments."

"So after the battle, for some unknown reason, the Outer God reconciled with the Rock King."

"Stay in Liyue as an immortal."

"After that, the Outer God stayed for ten years before leaving Liyue."

"However, Mr. Zhongli, there are still some things I don't understand."

"Let's assume for the moment that the Outer God is that unknown immortal."

"He left Liyue at the end of the early stages of the Demon God War."

"That era is too far removed from the present, and the war between the demons and gods has long since ended."

"In this day and age, there are only seven gods in the world."

"How can we be sure that he has not yet perished?"

Qiu Nian turned her head, looked at Zhong Li in front of her, and slowly asked.

Zhongli was stunned for a moment when she heard these words.

Then he looked at Qiu Nian with a strange expression.

But after only a moment, Zhongli's expression returned to normal.

Historians speculate that a god without subjects would have no need to participate in the war between demons and gods.

"Not participating in the war between demons means that he is not at risk of perishing."

"But these are all things that are hard to say."

"After all, it was already a guess when we thought that the unknown immortal was that Outer God."

"The specific details are impossible to verify after such a long period of time."

Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and began to speak.

"I see."

Qiu Nian nodded upon hearing this.

"There's another question: why doesn't that unknown immortal have a name?"

"Is it a title like that of a celestial being such as the True Lord of Cloud-Borrowing Wind or the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"

Paimon looked at Zhongli in front of him and asked with some confusion.

"Because during the Demon God War, there were many immortals in Liyue."

“There are many immortals who have not been given immortal names.”

"At that time, Liyue was engulfed in war."

"Many immortals died in the war to defend Liyue before they could be given immortal names."

"Only a few powerful immortals have survived to this day."

Zhongli turned around, looked in the direction of Liyue Harbor, and slowly spoke.

"Even during wars, many immortals did not leave behind their names."

“In some remote Liyue regions that are not fully under the jurisdiction of the Geo Archon.”

"Several nameless immortals were also born here."

"Even the Rock King Emperor has never seen them."

"But during the war, they still made sacrifices to protect the people."

"Whether or not they have left behind their names, the people of Liyue should remember their deeds."

Zhongli remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed with his eyes slightly closed.

"so..."

Zhongli stopped there.

Instead, he turned around and looked at Ying and Paimon.

"So that's it..."

Upon hearing this, Paimon placed one hand flat on his chest, looked at Zhongli in front of him, and had a very complicated expression.

It turns out that this was in ancient Liyue.

There are also many immortals like that unknown immortal.

It's not surprising.

"What a brutal war..."
