Zhongli slowly walked away from the crystal.
Holding up his chin, he thought very seriously what to do next.
Plus, he still need to know where is he and what timeline he is in.
All of those are the variables that he needs to know.
But regardless of those, he is also very eager to test out his abilities.
Since if he can remember, the original Zhongli in the game is quite powerful, at least in his world.
"Though, I would definitely be VERY HAPPY if a system were to suddenly appear in front of me."
He glanced meaningfully in the air, like an idiot waiting for some blessing to give itself to him.
He even emphasize what he will feel if he really did get that thing.
And after a while… did it bore fruit?
"…"
No, instead, a rock did fall on his head.
His face twitched after a few minutes of waiting.
"Seriously? No system? Ain't that the normal plot armor of transmigators and reincarnators? Kuhh…"
Frustration is what bore fruit on his long awaited patience.
"What bullshit is this!"
He cursed under his breathe, like a young master that just got NTR by the protagonist with his heavenly jade like charm that can even shook the very laws.
"Sigh… It seems that I am not a chosen one of the heavenly realm. This young master is aggrieved, you might not have any idea how to deal with this, Heavenly Ancestor?"
He spouted nonsense by nonsense, nonstop as if wanting to fool someone with his Dao of Bullshit.
But still, one might ask again, did it bore fruit?
"…"
"…"
Even the surrounding creatures stopped doing their own things and look at Zhongli with a odd look.
If those creatures could speak, they would have already asked the young guy a question.
'Are you an idiot?'
Alas, it might seem he is still not proficient enough in his Dao. But still, at least he managed to attract the monsters, right?
"…"
As Zhongli turned around to see the monsters, they flee. They fled so fast that even the heavenly tribulation lightning can't catch up to them.
Zhongli: (O_o)
'What the heck?'
He was so dumbfounded right now that he became speechless.
"Ugh… maybe it is actually a bad thing to transmigate."
He groaned as he thought of the future.
Not only did he not know about Genshin Impact, he also doesn't have any system or external help like the Ancestors in a Ring or something?
"Fuck my ass. I'm just a normal guy looking forward to his everyday life, and yet, now I'm here in this unknown world! What's worst is that, it is without cheats or something! Ughh…"
He began to grumble yet again.
After a while, he slumped on the ground.
He stretched his arms as if to grab something in the air. And unexpectedly, something happened.
This made Zhongli's eyes turn wide. He immediately bolted up and look at it curiously.
"Hmm, how can I even form such things? I don't even know a single thing about manipulating such things."
He murmured softly. His confusion reached its peak as he knows he could never do it on his current situation, at least that's what he thinks.
"It is because it is your Authority as a Deity or God."
A condescending voice echoed across the place.
As Zhongli heard that voice, he instantly became vigilant, looking around to see who's that voice belonging to.
Yet as he looks around he saw no one, not even a single living soul.
Naturally, facing such situation, his vigilance reached its peak, which led him to unconsciously emit his power.
"Ahahaha! Now that's more like it! I deem you worthy of the Authority."
The voice that was echoing became more lively, as whoever that voice belongs to, is definitely very pleased.
Zhongli became confused of what the voice was saying, but still, he was still deeply wary of the voice, so he didn't dare utter any words, only vigilantly looking around.
"No need to be that wary, plus, don't you want to know what I meant by Authority?"
Zhongli's brows furrowed slightly, but he still didn't speak.
"Well then, I'll take that as a yes. By Authority, what I meant is your abilities. The power to control Geo element. Although you are a Deity so calling it Divinity is closer, it's the same to me.
By the way, there is another meaning for Authority, the Authority I held is that of someone of my kind held, but different element. I carry the Authority to Control Geo element much like you."
Zhongli slowly let go of his wariness, and decided to ask.
"If I consider what you are saying, then, I take it that Divinity and Authority is the same, yet not? So what does that mean? If it is not the same, then why call it Authority too?"
Zhongli's eyes became apprehensive as he thoughtfully engrained those words in his mind.
"Hmm, you see, you Deities, might not be as strong as us, the Dragon Sovereign, you still held considerable power. You Deities can control the fundamental laws and element associated with your power.
So calling Divinity as Authority is not too far off, plus, if you became stronger your Divinities can improve as it is deeply ingraved in your soul.
After all, Authorities are just the same as Divinities, just slightly stronger."
"I see."
Zhongli made sure to remember those words.
Though this conversation made Zhongli think of something.
"Hmm. Dragon Sovereign of Geo, I take it."
"Yes indeed, I am the Dragon Sovereign of Geo."
"I want to ask another question."
"Ohh? Tell me."
"Why does someone your caliber, try to meet someone like me?"
That question was on his mind the whole time. Why would a Dragon Sovereign go towards him?
Thinking of such question, he made a lot of formula on how to escape.
"Ahahaha! Sure I'll tell you. It is because I find it very interesting!"
Zhongli was stunned, interesting, what?
"Yes, indeed, interesting, that's it. In fact, I could even teach you about it. So? Are you willing?"
Hearing those, Zhongli became intrigued, but still, just to be sure, he asked cautiously.
"What's the catch?"
"How about becoming my inheritor?"
Zhongli became puzzled. So to be sure, he repeated those words.
"Become your inheritor?"
"Yes."
The voice solemnly answered. And after that, he continued to say.
"I fear that something big is gonna happen. I can feel the tremor in the Land. The leylines aren't acting as it is. As the Dragon Sovereign of Geo, I'm different from the rest. I can access the leylines directly, after all, "All is connected to Geo". That is why, I want to entrust my power to you once the time comes.
So what do you think? Do you think you can become this one's disciple and inheritor?"
The voice rang across the place in regal tone. His tone commanding, yet neither loud nor harsh. His intent very clear with each words, like a sharp blade cutting through the wind.
*Take it… or take it*
No refusal, just pure authority, commanding to take it or else…
"Ahem! I see, though before I accept or refuse it, can I ask you a question?"
Of course, Zhongli knows what the Old Dragon wants, he is just forcing him to become its successor!!
Not that he doesn't want it, after all, who doesn't want free meat?
But still, being the discreet young man he is, he naturally wants to ask the dragon something, to confirm his suspicion.
"Me, you want me as your student, right? So… Are you a jade beauty?"
"What??"
