It has to be said that Zhongli has a really good physique. Even though his body is covered up by clothes, you can still see his abdominal and pectoral muscles, lean waist, straight and long legs and perky buttocks when he is soaked by seawater. His hormones are radiating at all times.

"Sorry, please call me Mom instead."

“prprprprprpr......”

"Oh, this is God's most perfect work of art, this is God's most satisfying work of art."

"The American netizens upstairs have confirmed it, but you have to admit that Zhongli's dad has a top-notch physique."

"Oh yes, my dear friend, I admit that Zhongli has the best body, and I can't help but want to rub it."

"puff."

Not to mention the live stream, the contestants at the scene were also captivated by Zhongli's figure. Several female contestants even had hearts in their eyes and wished they could rush up to her on the spot.

Only Wendy, Xiao, and the Tracer are directly immune.

"Hmm, the old man's physique is still so good." Wendy commented seriously, resting her chin on her hands. Xiao stood next to Wendy with a cold face, arms crossed, looking bored at the other contestants' infatuated expressions.

They could never understand the goodness of Lord Zhongli. He was the best person in the world, who gave him a name and a new life. These honors were something these mortals would never experience.

Unfortunately, only a handful of people survived the escape and resource gathering. Zhongli's brows remained furrowed until he sent out the message, at which point his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Wendy and Xiao appropriately provided the wind element, drying Zhongli's clothes.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the scene changed again. The ocean was gone, and everyone was moved to the field. All around them were stands, where countless heads surged. They were in high spirits. Zhongli sensed something was wrong and looked at Wendy. Wendy's face also became serious.

The manager appeared ahead, shouting and stirring up the emotions of the audience in the stands. In an instant, the entire stadium was filled with shouts.

“Become prey…” Wendy murmured. Zhongli silently cast a shield on the three of them. Then, a lion with bloodshot eyes walked out directly in front of Wendy. It looked like it hadn’t eaten for a long time and looked at all the contestants as if it was about to pounce on them at any moment.

All the contestants unconsciously took a step back, except for Wendy and her three companions who remained unmoved. Then, Xiao suddenly appeared in front of the lion, and the lion pounced on Xiao the moment she appeared. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have lost their life.

However, the instant the lion pounced, Xiao's spear pierced its head, splattering crimson blood across the arena, while Xiao himself remained clean. He and Pu Yuan deftly spun in Xiao's hand before being retrieved. "Boring," Xiao's low voice drifted out, but the arena was utterly silent, making his words audible throughout.

The crowd's emotions continued to rise. Xiao was teleported back to Wendy and Zhongli's side. Then, a timid contestant suddenly appeared in front of them. At that moment, a very tall gorilla appeared on the stage. Before the contestant could react, he was torn to pieces and eaten piece by piece by the gorilla.

"Huh."

"Tsk."

The one-sided domination seemed to have dissatisfied the spectators on stage, who began to sigh. The manager looked at all the contestants, and it seemed that he could read their expressions from behind their masks.

disappointment.

Several more contestants were selected to go up, and without exception, they were all torn to pieces. The increasingly dissatisfied onlookers and the utterly disappointed managers made Wendy feel as if something big was about to happen. However, before he could figure it out, he was teleported back to the ship.

As soon as Zhongli returned to the ship, he immediately went to make hot tea, while Wendy gently touched the things that Su Bai had left behind.

"Well, you're here, Wendy. It seems like something big is about to happen. I keep falling into a deep sleep, and my awake time is very short." Su Bai's voice was filled with a deep weariness. He tried his best to sound cheerful, but Wendy felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "You don't have to pretend to be happy in front of me," Wendy said.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so tired. They always feed me terrible food and inject me with drugs that make me unconscious. Every time I wake up, I feel like my emotions are being drained away. I feel like I can't do anything anymore." After a brief silence, Su Bai broke down, and the sobbing made it easy to tell that he was crying.

Wendy suddenly fell silent. After a long while, she asked, "Recently, it seems like the number of deaths is increasing." "Huh? It seems like they're collecting negative emotions. And then, I don't know, I just feel like I can't remember a lot of things anymore, and then my emotions slowly became abnormal." Su Bai was crying her eyes out one second, but the next second her emotions stabilized.

“Hmm, negative emotions, thank you,” Wendy said in a light tone, and then the call ended.

"Collect negative emotions and inject them into Su Bai's body through some means, so that Su Bai's emotions will slowly disappear until she becomes a cold and ruthless god who manages the world." Wendy thought. The ship stopped, and Xiao jumped into the sea. He was going to collect Fanan's soul.

He shared the information he had obtained from Su Bai with Zhong Li. After listening, Zhong Li remained silent for a moment, then slowly sipped his tea.

“A thousand powers bring a thousand responsibilities. If a god is created, there must be a reason for his birth. The reason is already known: to manage the universe. So, is collecting negative emotions, even life, from countless worlds just to create a god? I don’t quite agree with that.” Zhongli slowly put down his cup.

"You mean..." Wendy's eyes widened slightly, then she breathed a sigh of relief, "That's possible."

“Let’s talk about the rest back in Teyvat. Let’s also call Buyer, the god of wisdom who saved Sumeru. Perhaps he can give us some advice or solutions,” Zhongli said. Wendy nodded.

"These two are playing riddles again."

"Get the Riddler out of Gotham."

"Completely confused, I have no idea what they're talking about."

"The CPU is burning up! It's burning up!"

The viewers in the live stream were completely baffled by the actions of the two "gods," and even the most skilled analysts couldn't figure out what they were referring to.

If Xiao were here, he would definitely say, "What deeper meaning does Lord Zhongli have in doing this?"
