Paimon looked at Gan Yu in front of him and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"..."
"Yujing Terrace is where the Emperor passed away. It is very lonely to see flowers there."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu sighed sadly.
"These past few days."
"When I work near Yujingtai, I always keep the windows closed to avoid seeing the scenery outside..."
Gan Yu looked at Paimon in front of her and began to explain.
"Um...I'm sorry."
"I shouldn't have brought this up."
Looking at Gan Yu's appearance, Paimon said apologetically.
"No...it's my own fault for not being able to sort out my feelings."
"Two thousand years ago, after the war between the demon gods ended, the original seven gods gathered in Liyue and drank with the Emperor."
"...Now the divine positions have changed, and of the seven gods at the banquet, five have passed away."
Gan Yu shook her head upon hearing this, and then explained to Paimon in front of her.
"That is to say..."
Ying seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, since the Emperor's soul has returned to the heavens."
Of the original seven gods, only Lord Barbatos of Mondstadt remains in the mortal realm.
Gan Yu looked at Ying in front of her and waved her hand to explain.
"The other five, including the Thunder General of Inazuma, are not the same people from two thousand years ago."
"Among the seven ruling powers in the mortal world, the Grass God of Sumeru is the youngest, only five hundred years old."
"And the Rock King Emperor has lived the longest, for more than six thousand years."
Gan Yu looked at the 24 people in front of her, placed one hand flat on her chest, and continued her story.
"Therefore, Liyue has a history of 3,700 years."
"From its inception, it has been ruled by an emperor, and has never experienced bidding farewell to the gods..."
Gan Yu lowered her head slightly and said in disbelief.
"So, what are your thoughts on this farewell?"
Zhongli looked at Gan Yu in front of him and asked.
"Huh? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I also..."
Gan Yu was a little taken aback when she heard this.
"Sigh... As a human, I still can't imagine what Liyue would become without the Emperor..."
"But as an immortal... I think I'll eventually have to accept the truth."
"Now that the Emperor has passed away, the era in which the gods and immortals made a pact with Liyue has effectively come to an end."
After exhaling, Gan Yu addressed Zhong Li in front of her.
"You mean...as an immortal?"
"Could you be an immortal?"
Qiu Nian looked at Gan Yu in front of her and asked with some doubt.
"I...I am a hybrid of human and Qilin, with half immortal blood."
"During the Demon God War, he also contributed to the Emperor and Liyue."
"After the war ended, I signed a contract with the Emperor and began to serve as the secretary of the Seven Stars through the ages, and that has continued to this day."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu looked at the four people in front of her and began to explain.
No wonder you have horns on your head!
Ying looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Wow, it's actually a Qilin!"
"But the more I listen, the more it resembles the coconut sheep that Qiqi described."
Snowflake was startled at first, then she remembered what Qiqi had said.
[A beast that is half-immortal, and also has horns like a sheep]
I strongly suspect that the "Coconut Sheep" Qiqi mentioned is her.
【Ha ha ha ha】
"Cough...cough cough."
"Let's talk about something else."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu coughed lightly, feeling quite embarrassed.
"If you are a sage who has existed since the time of the Demon God War..."
"Do you know what those True Lords of Jueyun Realm were talking about regarding that one person?"
Qiu Nian looked at Gan Yu in front of her and asked.
"I was just about to ask that."
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian beside him and spread out his little hands.
"That one..."
Gan Yu was somewhat confused upon hearing this.
"Here's the thing."
Ying then recounted the whole story to Gan Yu.
"I see. The one you're talking about did indeed have a battle with the Emperor."
"And indeed, as historical records show, their strengths were almost equal."
Upon hearing this, Gan Yu lowered her chin with one hand and spoke to Qiu Niansi.
"However, I was very young at the time... I'm not very clear about the outcome of that battle."
"But after that battle, he did reconcile with the Emperor for some reason and they became friends."
"As you guessed, he existed in Liyue as a celestial being for ten years."
Gan Yu lowered her hand, looked at the four people in front of her, and continued speaking.
"We never expected that our guesses were actually true!"
Paimon was quite surprised to hear this.
"Then...can you tell us about it?"
"That...uh...immortal, what kind of person is he?"
"If he were still alive, would he really assassinate the Rock King Emperor?"
Paimon looked at Gan Yu in front of him and asked with a curious expression.
Chapter 39 Osmanthus Preface (A 10,000-word tribute, Happy New Year!)
"I'm coming."
Snowflake immediately perked up when she saw the question Paimon had raised.
Finally, we've heard news about that Outer God again.
[His power is almost on par with the Emperor's; he's too formidable!]
He even actually reconciled with the Geo Archon.
Yes, and he even stayed in Liyue for ten years as a celestial being.
My focus is different from yours; I'm more curious about what Gan Yu looked like as a child.
"Hmm... I don't know where to begin."
"I only remember his name. In my impression, he was a very gentle god, with a kind of refined elegance like that of a bamboo forest."
"He was on good terms with the immortals, and would often listen to the music they played. Sometimes he would also read books, sometimes for an entire day."
"Sometimes he would drink with the Emperor, and we would talk about something."
Gan Yu lowered her chin with one hand, pondered for a long time, and then spoke to Ying and Paimon in front of her.
"Him? Is he a man?"
"Is he that son-in-law's esteemed son-in-law?"
Upon hearing the name, Snowflake immediately started playing with puns.
What the hell is this "son-in-law"?
[I feel there's something special about the name Guixu; now I'm just waiting for the rice expert to post a video.]
This sounds like a very good god.
[Wait a minute, don't all demons have names? Why is he just called Gui Xu?]
The person upstairs asked the question I had just asked.
"Gui Xu..."
"It doesn't sound like a god who would assassinate the Rock King Emperor."
"Then why would those immortals suspect that he was the one who assassinated the Rock King Emperor?"
Paimon was somewhat puzzled after hearing Gan Yu's story.
