With the Traveler's help, the crisis in Teyvat was finally resolved. Zhongli, now completely free of his duties as a god, decided he wanted to travel to other places.
His first stop was the Xianzhou Luofu, which bore some resemblance to Liyue.
Zhongli gazed at the towering tree before him, its dark trunk trimmed in gold, and fell into thought.
A walking tree was certainly a rare sight, but its trunk, a mixture of resentful spirits, scattered souls, and murky divine power, was deeply unsettling. Could something like this really become an Emanator of Abundance?
So that day, the people on the battlefield suddenly found themselves surrounded by shields inscribed with golden runes, keeping every evil at bay.
At a crucial moment, the shields also protected a Foxian pilot who was trying to perish alongside the Emanator of Abundance.
Zhongli also happened to awaken the Dragon Lord, who had succumbed to draconic rampancy. His merit remained hidden.
Though I have no intention of meddling in the wars of the Aeons, I know the suffering of the common people.
Now I should be able to continue my travels.
A year later, after suppressing the evil dragon brought about by three members of the High-Cloud Quintet, he fell into thought.
Are all the heroes of the Xianzhou natives like this?
Zhongli continued his travels. He admired the Vidyadhara waterscapes of Fanghu Xianzhou, toured the enormous forge of Zhuming Xianzhou, picked up a blond little boy with beautiful eyes on a barren planet, and taught a lesson to an employee of the Interastral Peace Corporation's Trailblaze Department...
Later, Zhongli sat drinking tea aboard the train of the Aeon of Trailblaze.
Zhongli: This journey has had its ups and downs, but it has had its own unique charm. Very good indeed.
