Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 357 Detached from Death, Zhongli Speechless

After the group left the room, the girl walked up to Xun Feng and blocked his way.

"Please wait a moment, God of Light. The Queen's meaning is not clear. She wants your help to resurrect the Nibelungen before challenging the laws of nature. However, resurrecting the Nibelungen requires more than just the seven hearts of the gods; it also requires..."

"What else do you need?"

"It requires the sacrifice of the life force of a god."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gasped in shock.

Just as Apep was about to volunteer, the Ice Queen suddenly pushed open the door to the room and stepped into full view of everyone.

“That’s right, so I’m prepared to sacrifice myself. I didn’t say it earlier because I was afraid you would refuse my proposal. But now that things have come to this, only by being open and honest can we unite and achieve a win-win situation. For the sake of my people, all this sacrifice is nothing. I only hope that Your Majesty the God of Light will come to personally preside over the Nibelungen resurrection ceremony after I have collected the seven Hearts of God. As for the location of the Nibelungen remains, it is still under investigation.”

After saying this, Barnabas smiled calmly, as if death was as insignificant to her as drinking water.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's first impression of the Ice God was instantly changed.

"I never imagined that you would be willing to sacrifice your life for the future of the creatures on the continent of Teyvat. I, the master of this hall... acknowledge you."

"Hehe, Miss Hu Tao is joking. The existence of gods is part of the rules. Since we want to overthrow the laws of nature, then... overthrowing the rules is the first step."

"Isn't there any other way?"

After a long silence, Ying finally couldn't help but voice her doubts.

After hearing Ying's question, Zhongli slowly and deliberately spoke.

“I do know another way. The Life Ruler—the most mysterious of the four shadows… As far as I know, she has descended to the mortal realm and no longer exists on the Sky Isle. If we can find the Life Ruler, she might be able to abolish the restrictions on life force and directly resurrect the Nibelungs.”

After saying that, Zhongli casually crossed his arms.

"Morac, I've considered your suggestion, but... the power of life's rule has dissipated. Even if we find the person who will rule again, the hope of regaining power is extremely slim. Because..."

Barnabas looked at the girl halfway through his sentence, signaling her to add more details.

After understanding, the girl took over the conversation and spoke.

"I was once a member of the Celestial Spirit Clan on Sky Island, and I have some understanding of the rules of governance. If the Life-giving Ruler wants to govern again... it needs the approval of Heaven's Law. I don't think Heaven's Law is a fool when it comes to such matters."

After the girl finished speaking, she slowly took a step back, handing the reins of the conversation back to Ice Emperor Barnabas.

“That’s it. So—Morac, your contract, the contract that ends all contracts, I will fulfill. Are you satisfied?”

"..."

Looking at Barnabas, whose tone was gentle but whose gaze was firm, even the weathered Barnabas was at a loss for words.

Initially, Zhongli knew that as long as Xunfeng obtained the activated power of the God of Light, he would have the means to defeat the Heavenly Law. Therefore, before abdicating, Zhongli made one last contract, entrusting the Heart of God to the Ice God.
