With a loud and clear announcement that the meeting was over, Feng Yan turned and left.
"Um...uh...could you guys help me translate this?"
"What did the Seven Stars' announcement say?"
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian and Ying beside him and asked, puzzled.
He said the emperor did not die from an assassination attempt.
"It was because he failed to transcend the tribulation and was struck by lightning and died."
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon beside her and began to explain.
Chapter 57 Immortal Gifting Ceremony
"This argument is so outrageous, they'll be struck by lightning, hahaha."
Xuehua was amused when she heard Qiu Nian's straightforward and blunt words.
[He laughed during his tribulation.]
[Who are you, fellow Daoist, undergoing tribulation here?]
[Case solved, Thor did it!]
[Liyue: Understood, let's declare war on Inazuma]
[I've settled in Bengbu]
"Eh... Seven Stars' explanation has turned out like this..."
"Something's not right. Why would they give up on finding the killer so quickly?"
"And this reason... feels like it was just something I came up with on the spot."
Upon hearing Qiu Nian's explanation, Paimon rested his chin on his hand and analyzed with a suspicious look.
"It might really have been something I came up with on the spur of the moment."
Qiu Nian looked at Paimon beside him and waved his hand as he spoke.
"So, does that mean after Zhongli completed the transaction for the Heart of God?"
"You secretly told them?"
Paimon lowered his voice and asked softly.
"Makes sense."
"I think Paimon's guess was pretty accurate this time."
Ying looked at Paimon beside her and nodded.
As someone in the know, this reason is simply outrageous.
"Let's go first."
"The ceremony to send off the immortals has been underway for quite some time now."
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he walked up the steps and arrived at the site of the ceremony to send off the immortals.
At this moment, the scene was completely surrounded by a large, densely packed crowd.
For example, Shi Tou, the owner of Jie Cui Hang, Ying Er of Chun Xiang Yao, and many other business elites and social celebrities.
Regardless of their identities, the Liyue people present all wore expressions of sadness.
Of course, except for Grandma Ping.
Standing in the center is the Radiant Light of the Celestial Power Star.
Standing on either side of her were Yuheng Xingke, the cat-like Keqing, and Yuehaiting's secretary, Ganyu.
"Ah, it's Ningguang and Keqing, what are they talking about?"
Is it almost over?
Paimon looked at Ningguang and the other two standing in the center and spread out his little hands.
"...Just as I said."
"The Emperor's soul returned to the heavens, signifying the breaking of the contract and the end of an era."
Ningguang placed one hand on her chest and addressed the surrounding Liyue citizens.
"A three-thousand-seven-year-old contract, burned and burned, turned to ashes..."
Stone sighed and murmured sadly.
There were many sighs and lamentations on the field.
"The people of Liyue were once happy."
"In happiness, we forget the cruelty of time."
Ningguang looked at the many Liyue citizens in the arena and spoke.
"A long dream in a land of gods, stretching on endlessly..."
Ying'er placed one hand flat on her chest and said sadly, reminiscing.
Even the usual racing champion became unusually serious at this moment.
"Ugh..."
When Grandma Ping heard what Ying'er said, she lowered her head and sighed.
"After waking from a dream, one learns to say goodbye."
"After the contract is renewed, will you... bless the next era?"
Ningguang looked at the crowd below and continued speaking.
"Then, Lord Tianquanxing's speech ends here."
"Does Lord Yuheng have anything else to say?"
Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing beside Ning Guang and asked.
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing looked at Ying and Paimon, who were standing next to Qiu Nian.
Why does it look like she's looking this way?
Paimon noticed Keqing's gaze and felt somewhat puzzled.
"Traveler."
At this moment, Keqing also came to Ying and Paimon.
"Is that the traveler who supposedly defeated the ancient gods...?"
"So young..."
"Truly a great hero of Liyue..."
"But who is that man next to her? He's such a handsome gentleman. Has any of you seen him before?"
"I've met him. He's Mr. Qiu Nian, a guest elder recently invited by the Rebirth Hall. He's an old friend of Mr. Zhongli."
"It is rumored that his knowledge is on par with that of Mr. Zhongli."
"Back then, at the Three Bowls Without Crossing the Harbor, he was even invited into the Jade Pavilion by Lord Ningguang."
"That's amazing..."
"Does this gentleman have a girl he likes?"
The surrounding crowd began to discuss the matter.
"Of course, I'm the girl Mr. Qiu Nian likes!"
Upon seeing this, Xuehua revealed a confident smile.
The viewers in the live stream were speechless for a moment.
"The Seven Stars of Liyue will always repay kindness."
"And you've probably heard that we have connections everywhere and are capable of anything."
“Tell me what you want in compensation, because that is what you are entitled to.”
Keqing placed one hand on her waist and spoke to Ying in front of her.
"Wow..."
Paimon stomped his foot excitedly upon hearing this.
"..."
"Then, please help me put up some missing person notices."
Ying looked at Ke Qing in front of her and stated her request.
Ke Qing was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this, but she still nodded and wrote down the physical characteristics Ying described.
After that, Qiu Nian and the other two chatted as they strolled around the Songxiandian.
Finally, the three of them arrived at the stone fence and looked at the scenery below.
"So, what is the purpose of your journey to the seven kingdoms?"
"Is it to find your brother?"
Qiu Nian looked at Ying beside her and asked.
Ying frowned upon hearing this, and a scene flashed through her mind.
In the scene, two golden shooting stars streak across the sky above Mondstadt, followed by a kingdom scorched by flames.
A dark red sky, a burning earth, and dark red cubes floating and flowing...
Finally, there is a scene of her brother being taken away and herself being sealed away by a strange god.
"...I will definitely find out the truth."
Ying nodded, then clenched one hand and said with a firm gaze.
