Chapter 285 Zhongli's Memories

"Listen carefully. As the dust settles and the music ends, we will protect the living and leave behind our wisdom and strategies for humanity."

After saying this, Zhongli fell into deep reminiscence.

As he reminisced, the timeline returned to the day he first met Gui Zhong…

Before a field of crystal-clear lilies.

"Hey! Hello~ You must be Morax, who's recently gained some fame? I didn't expect there to be someone like me who's willing to protect the peace of humanity~"

While feigning solemnity, Gui Zhong jumped excitedly in front of Zhong Li and stared intently into his eyes.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"Haha, you seem a little slow to react~ Um... my name is Hargentus, you can also call me Guizhong."

"Although your divine power is not strong enough, I can still tell that you are a demon god. What brings you to me today?"

"You actually think I'm not strong enough? Damn it, I'll have to give you a tough challenge today."

After saying that, Gui Zhong took out the Lock of the Mortal World with ill intentions.

Looking at the extremely complex structure in front of him, Zhongli frowned, completely baffled.

"This is the token of our covenant, and also my challenge to you! I have locked all my wisdom within it, hoping that one day you will be able to unlock it."

"An alliance? You want to become my ally?"

Looking at the unknown girl in front of him, Zhongli scrutinized her with suspicion.

"Look at humanity, so insignificant, suffering from natural disasters and environmental hardships, yet they resolutely use their wisdom to grow stronger step by step and strive to survive. I think that with my wisdom alone, I cannot protect so many people, so... I need your help. Aren't you also a demon god who cares about humanity? Let's form an alliance, shall we?"

After saying this, Gui Zhong sincerely handed the Lock of the Mortal World to Zhong Li.

After observing it for five minutes, Zhongli still couldn't figure out the secret hidden in the lock.

Looking at the mortal lock before him, Zhongli realized that the demon god before him was not to be underestimated.

"Okay... I agree, I hope you won't go back on your word."

The scene changes.

Return to the original place.

"Morax, look at this place. It's flat, with a unique climate and geographical location. Isn't it perfect for long-term settlement?"

"Hmm...that's true. Let's pass this message on to the humans and let them settle and develop here."

"Wait a minute—since this place is about to become our new home, why don't we give it a name?"

"A name... that's fine too. This is a place where all displaced humans can live together, so what to name it... I don't seem to be good at that kind of thing."

“Isn’t that simple? Now that my people have left, they are all living in peace and prosperity, almost like returning to their hometown. Why not call it Returning to the Origin of Li?”

After saying that, Gui Zhong confidently crossed his arms and smiled at Morax.

"Gui Li Yuan... a nice name."

……

After meeting Gui Zhong, Zhong Li gradually began to make more friends, forming a large alliance team to protect peace in the world.

Gradually, Zhongli came to appreciate the warmth and power of friendship.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was often lively and quirky but also extremely intelligent, Zhongli was puzzled but respected her.

The scene changes.

"What? You say you like the Emperor?"

Upon hearing Gui Zhong's words, Ge Chenlang City True Lord stopped playing the zither and turned to look at her.
