Chapter 115: The right stage, the logical performance
Gu Chen simply gave Ningguang an extremely difficult choice.
On one side is the Emperor, and on the other side is Liyue Harbor.
There is very little hope of saving the Emperor.
However, there is a great hope of ensuring the activity of the Emperor's dragon body and preventing the demonic power in the Emperor's body from erupting, thereby preserving the entire Liyue Harbor.
The most difficult thing is that these two cannot be carried out at the same time, and we must focus on them and prioritize them.
One side has greater hope, the other side has less hope.
In this situation, anyone who is rational and not emotional can make a choice.
Ningguang can now stay awake and sane.
But this did not prevent her from feeling extremely painful and difficult inside.
Closing her eyes and weighing the pros and cons, Ningguang nodded with almost all her strength.
“Master Gu Chen, you are right.
The most important thing is to protect Liyue Harbor and the people of Liyue.
Please...maintain the activity of the Emperor's dragon body first, and don't let the power of the demon explode.
After doing this, try your best to save the Emperor..."
After saying this, Ningguang's body softened and she almost fell to her knees.
Fortunately, the secretary next to her quickly supported Ningguang and prevented her from falling to the ground.
The secretary looked at his Lord Ningguang with sympathy, feeling a sense of empathy.
By making such a decision, Lady Ningguang is essentially giving up on the Emperor.
Everyone knows that the faster first aid is provided, the better.
But saving the Emperor would have to wait until Liyue Harbor was secured.
After such a long delay, wouldn't the possibility of the Emperor being saved be even slimmer?
Alas... Lady Ningguang has a hard time.
When the Qianyan Army and the people of Liyue who were farther away heard this, they felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.
It’s really not easy for Lady Ningguang.
She put Liyue Harbor and the people of Liyue first, and the Emperor second.
From this point of view alone, Lady Ningguang can be said to be a traitor.
But at the same time, it can also be considered selfless.
Because Ningguang is ultimately doing this for the people of Liyue and for the entire Liyue.
I guess Lady Ningguang, who had ipso facto given up on the Emperor, must be feeling extremely miserable?
Alas...it's all for them.
The people present were moved, ashamed, and at the same time very nervous and uneasy.
Because the above ideas are just ideas and have no effect on reality.
Ningguang's decision was indeed difficult, but all she could do was agree with Gu Chen's decision.
Whether we can truly preserve the overall situation, preserve Liyue Harbor, and even preserve the Emperor... depends on Lord Gou Chenxing!
Thinking of this, the people of Liyue looked at Gu Chen's back with pleading and hope, and many of them prayed devoutly and silently.
Everyone hopes that Lord Gou Chenxing can save the collapsing building and turn the tide!
As for Gu Chen himself...
He felt very sorry at this time.
Because it was all fake from the beginning to the end. He was acting from the beginning to the end in order to achieve his ulterior motives.
The emperor’s murder was fake, and his body was fake.
These two items are prerequisites, and can be considered as the stage that Zhongli inadvertently built for him.
He appeared in time later and told Ningguang that she was in extreme danger. At the same time, he cast a shield and life solidification to save the situation as much as possible.
All of this was a good show that Gu Chen performed on this stage.
But this play happened so naturally and realistically that no one, including Ningguang, doubted it and everyone was immersed in it.
Feeling the hopes and prayers of the people of Liyue, and seeing the pain and hardship that Ningguang was going through beside him, Gu Chen said sorry in his heart.
Then, he continued to play...
Gradually, Gu Chen's expression became extremely solemn and serious.
The warm, star-like light emanating from his right hand grew brighter and brighter.
The light kept pouring onto the dragon body in front of him, making the originally dull dragon body glow with brightness again!
Please forgive Ningguang for using the word "bright" to describe it, as if you go to the market to pick fish and this fish looks fresher than another one.
But... Ningguang didn't have a better adjective for the moment.
She could see that the condition of the Emperor's dragon body seemed to be better than before!
With surprise and pleading, Ningguang did not dare to disturb Gu Chen for a moment, but just asked with her eyes.
Gu Chen did not respond much, but just nodded slightly, indicating that there was progress.
Ningguang felt a little relieved, thinking that this was a small turn for the better amidst the worst-case scenario.
This turnaround must continue.
Please, Lord Gou Chenxing!
Gu Chen, who was highly expected by everyone, frowned at this time and continued to operate.
The frown on his face was not fake, nor was the seriousness on his face fake, only his solemnity was fake.
Because Gu Chen is really performing delicate operations now.
He actually transformed the light energy into vitality and injected it into the dragon body in front of him.
Rather than trying to preserve the vitality of the dragon's body, it's better to say...
It was originally a fake body of a demon god and had no vitality. Gu Chen was trying to make this fake corpse alive!
This is extremely difficult!
Fortunately, Zhongli did not cut corners when making the fake corpse and was very meticulous in every aspect.
Fortunately, the ability to solidify life is indeed a great skill, and the vitality converted from light energy is indeed surging.
Look, after a slow and careful operation, the fake corpse that was supposed to be dead actually came alive!
After discovering this, Gu Chen felt relieved.
Okay, this scene can go on without any mistakes.
In fact, Gu Chen had also thought about it.
If a dead object is still a dead object, and a fake corpse is still a fake corpse, and there is no way to make it appear alive, how should I save the situation?
This body will not unleash the power of the demon at all. Liyue Harbor has never been in danger of destruction from the beginning. What should we do then?
Gu Chen had already thought about it.
At that time, he would show determination on his face, and without saying a word, he would hold the dead dragon and fly into the sky, then fly away at a high speed, and rush into the sea with both man and dragon.
His actions were enough to make Ningguang and the people of Liyue realize that the situation was extremely bad and the power of the demon was about to erupt.
But just before the explosion, Lord Gou Chenxing disregarded his personal safety, tried his best to take away the super bomb, and even dived into the sea!
Then, Gu Chen could use his own power to create a terrifying explosion under the Yunlai Sea.
Let the aftermath of the explosion hit the sea surface, causing a small tsunami or huge waves that would not cause too much trouble to Liyue Harbor.
In this way, the people of Liyue will understand that the Emperor's body really exploded at the bottom of the sea, and Lord Gou Chenxing saved Liyue Port and the people of Liyue!
Finally, when thousands of Liyue people were uneasy and worried about Gu Chen.
He, the Gou Chen Star, could pretend to be seriously injured, stumble out of the sea in a panic, and enjoy the support and cheers of the people of Liyue! All the glory and merit would be on his shoulders!
By then, he will become an unprecedented hero who saves Liyue Harbor!
Of course, the above are just backup plans.
Now, this backup plan is no longer needed because the fake corpse dragon has really come alive!
