The two people's ideas were thousands of miles apart, but they didn't notice each other and talked incoherently.
"I don't mean to deny the merits of the gods, I am just stating a fact. Have you ever thought that the so-called disaster of the Demon God's War was actually caused by the Demon God?"
Listening to Zhongli's words, Jiang Bai had only one thought.
Zhongli's obsession was so deep that it was impossible for him to use words to bring his thoughts back.
But it was obviously impossible to give up like this, so Jiang Bai decided to argue from another angle.
"Mr. Zhongli, do you think humans are the most important creatures in Teyvat? Otherwise, why do you say humans don't need gods, but not gods don't need humans?"
Hearing his words, Zhongli showed a strange smile.
"How do you know gods don't need humans?"
Jiang Bai was startled and looked at Zhongli with an increasingly dangerous look.
No wonder Zhongli has the courage to overthrow the rule of gods. It turns out that he has caught the gods' pigtails a long time ago!
Zhongli's words clearly meant that gods need humans!
But why do gods need humans?
Because humans are the source of divine power? The stronger the people's belief in gods, the more powerful the corresponding gods are?
But if you speculate like this, why does the Fengshen from Mondstadt next door never show up? Doesn't she need the power of faith?
Jiang Bai couldn't figure it out.
And why does he want to overthrow the rule of the Rock God so much? Does he have any grudge against Iwagami?
"Well……"
Jiang Bai hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why. In order to prevent Zhongli from involving him in his gang, he could only resort to the thirty-six strategies mentioned above——
run!
"Mr. Zhongli, I'm leaving now. I'll see you next time..."
After saying that, he fled immediately.
Seeing Jiang Bai fleeing and leaving, Zhongli laughed out loud.
"interesting."
Although I don’t know what Jiang Bai is thinking, it must be something interesting.
He wanted to see what this guy was thinking.
He turned his head to look in the direction of Yujing Terrace, and seemed to see through the many buildings the people above who were busy preparing for the ceremony of inviting immortals.
"I do over-indulge Liyue. It's been 3,700 years, but I'm still worried..."
His voice was so low that not even the birds in the yard heard it.
…
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day to invite the immortal to perform the ceremony.
The day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is no different to the people of Liyue. They still get up early to go to work, buy groceries, do business, and have fun.
Except for some people with a sensitive political sense, most people don't care much about what direction Yanwang Dijun leads this year.
For them, no matter what business decisions Rock King Dijun makes, the sun will always rise from the east and food will always be eaten.

Even the streets of Liyue were no different from usual on these days.
There were no lanterns, no gongs and lions to celebrate.
Jiang Bai got up early. He and Hu Tao each took a bun and walked towards Yujing Terrace while eating.
Hu Tao took a bite of the bun, her cheeks were bulging, and she said with unclear words:
"I told you that you couldn't call him. You still don't believe it. He took the birdcage and went out early in the morning. He didn't even see anyone."
Jiang Bai laughed sarcastically.
Since he fled the day before yesterday, he has been shadowing Zhongli's yard recently.
I was afraid that he would suddenly ask me if I wanted to join his great cause.
"Mr. Zhongli has many things to do..."
"Yes, I am busy listening to plays and walking birds every day, just like an old man."
Jiang Bai felt that Zhongli seemed to be walking around and listening to operas all day long, but maybe he was making arrangements secretly.
That stage might be the place where his people meet secretly!
He couldn't figure out where to go today and was going to cause trouble.
When they arrived at Yujingtai, they had to pay more attention to prevent any turmoil from getting them involved.
Jiang Bai didn't want to talk about Zhongli, so he changed the subject, "Hall Master, is today really the day to invite immortals for ceremony? Why doesn't it look like it?"
It should be a very grand day, but why is it still the same as usual on the street?
"Didn't I tell you last time? People in Liyue don't pay much attention to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and they rarely go to see it. It's not a day off, so everyone should do whatever they should."
If every year the Fairy Invitation Ceremony would take a few days off like the Hai Lantern Festival, people might have started celebrating.
"oh……"
As we walked near Yujing Terrace, there were finally more people, and there was finally a ceremonial atmosphere.
The fluttering long banners were inserted all the way from the stairs of Yujing Terrace to the top of the mountain. Qianyan soldiers in armor stood on the roadside with long guns and were on duty seriously. Pedestrians looked excited, guessing what the emperor would drop during this year's invitation ceremony.
Walking onto the Yujing Terrace, the Yujing Terrace was now much grander than when I came back.
Long flags of different heights and colors are distributed throughout the Yujing Terrace. An ancient cauldron is placed in the center of the Yujing Terrace. The red carpet spreads from the bottom of the cauldron and is laid out in eight directions.
Various sacrifices were placed on the table in front of the cauldron, and brightly blooming glazed lilies were placed in a circle around the central altar.
A set of ancient chimes hangs below the altar. Musicians in complicated costumes stand solemnly in front of the chimes, ready to play music at any time.
This time, Ke Qing, the main person in charge of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, was wearing a solemn dress and stood solemnly in front of the altar, waiting for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony to begin.
Jiang Bai and Hu Tao arrived quite early, and the ceremony for inviting the immortals had not yet begun, so they took a seat in the front and could see the details up close.
In addition to Jiang Bai and Hu Tao, there were many people who came to participate in the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. Most of these people were luxuriously dressed and had extraordinary manners. It was obvious at a glance that they were high-ranking people in Liyue.
"I didn't expect that Tianquan Xing Ningguang would also come." Hu Tao was a little surprised when he saw a woman wearing a golden cheongsam not far away.
Except for the main organizer, the other seven stars do not actually need to be present at the Fairy Invitation Ceremony.
After all, the only seven stars of this generation who like to show their faces are Yuheng Xing Keqing and Tianquan Xing Ningguang. Few outsiders know who the other seven stars are.
"Tianquan Star Ningguang? Where is it?" Jiang Bai looked around curiously.
The famous Liyue powerful figure Liyue Qixing, he has only met Ke Qing so far.
"The woman wearing a golden cheongsam and holding a pipe. Standing next to her is Beidou, the captain of the Omen of Death." Hu Tao pointed briefly.
Jiang Bai also saw the person she was referring to.
This is a young and beautiful woman. Seeing her, Jiang Bai only has one word in his mind.
Graceful and luxurious.
At first glance, it seems that he is the kind of top-notch person who is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with.
But the woman next to her looked no less elegant standing with her.
If Ning Guang is graceful and noble, then Captain Beidou is heroic and confident.
It is a kind of absolute confidence in strength, and his movements are calm and majestic.
Noticing Jiang Bai's gaze, they looked over.
