Chapter 284 Zhongli's Entire Test Ends
After feeling the real touch on his shoulder, Zhongli was finally completely certain of Guizhong's existence.
"Stop daydreaming! We agreed to go out to see the flowers together today. If you don't leave now, I'm going to go alone!"
Gui waved to Zhongli and then turned around, pretending to leave.
Although Zhongli didn't understand what was going on, he still obediently followed behind Guizhong.
“Gui Zhong has been dead for thousands of years, and his sudden reappearance must be suspicious.”
With these thoughts in mind, Zhongli walked forward with heavy steps.
It's worth mentioning that the wooden house where Gui Zhong and Zhong Li currently live is located within the territory of Qing Ce Village, a very refreshing and relaxing environment.
Back to reality.
"Morax, is something on your mind?"
Noticing Zhongli's unusual behavior, Guizhong stopped and turned to look at him.
"Gui Zhong... I, I'm fine."
"It's alright. Look, there's a field of rapeseed flowers ahead!"
As Gui Zhong spoke, he naturally took Zhong Li's arm and smiled gently.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, Zhongli sighed inwardly.
"Forget it, let's wait and see."
After muttering to himself, Zhongli adjusted his breathing and then spoke in response.
"This flower shines brightly under the light, full of the vitality and life of spring."
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it."
"How are those who have returned to their origins doing?"
"Oh? Guili Plain... It's a very desolate place with hardly any people. How can you talk about whether life there is good or bad?"
As Gui Zhong spoke, he tilted his head to look at Zhong Li.
"Is that so... Back then, when the demons of Chenyu Valley suddenly marched south to attack Guili Plain, you..."
Zhongli paused halfway through his sentence, intending to see how Guizhong would respond.
"Wasn't that a long, long time ago? I remember... You said you wouldn't talk about the past after you retired, so why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Upon hearing the word "retirement," Zhongli felt an incredible slowing of her breathing.
"Gui Zhong, forgive my boldness, but please answer me. What is the difference between me yesterday and me now?"
Hmm...you seem even more lost today than yesterday~
"Something's not right. This must be the parallel world Heliseg was talking about. I didn't expect that the laws of nature have already started to take notice of me."
After pondering for a moment, Zhongli silently closed his eyes.
"In the end, this is your earthly lock."
As he spoke, he handed the Lock of the Mortal World to Gui Zhong.
"What? Have you already seen through the wisdom it contains?"
After saying that, Gui Zhong walked expectantly to the opposite side of Zhong Li, and then looked at him with a smile.
"What's the use of seeing through it all... The real her has long since passed away. You may be her, but you are not her."
After a moment of reflection, Zhongli suppressed his emotions and continued speaking.
"The Shackles of the Mortal Realm represent the imprisoned continent of Teyvat. To see through its wisdom, one must break the shackles and regain freedom."
"Hey~ I didn't expect that. I thought you'd never see through me. Looks like I underestimated you~"
"Gui Zhong, I know what I'm about to say is abrupt, but I have to say it. I want to exchange a secret code with you."
"Passwords? At your age, why would a god like you still enjoy playing these kinds of games? Okay, you go ahead."
Looking at Zhongli's sharp eyes, Gui Zhong nodded in agreement without caring at all.
