Zhongli Ideal World: Session 3
"In his long life, he has met countless people, and shall meet countless more still.
As they say: the waters change course, but the mountains move not."
--The Raiden Shogun

Erosion cleared: Liyue Marketplace
You hear Zhongli's voice on the wind as the world around you slowly petrifies. Buildings, people, and trees fade to grey as they turn to stone. Most don't see it coming. But some do as their faces freeze in dawning horror before they are overtaken. You alone remain untouched and living and breathing among the rock.
"No matter how weak the god, the power that flows forth when they are slain is beyond the strength of mortal coils to bear."
You exist in this broken world for one heartbeat. Two heartbeats.
Then the land shatters, knocking you to your feet, as everything around you crumbles to dust.
And the world is remade.
----
You can still see and hear the sounds of the market all around you: the owner of the Jade Mystery beckoning you to try your luck, a young scholar purchasing an old tome for their research, the sizzle of a stir fry freshly plated. And Zhongli, still looking human and garbed in his coat of browns and golds, wanders down the street.
He stops at a booth selling an array of antiques, eyes lighting up as he examines a set of chopsticks printed with a dragon and phoenix design. He begins speaking at length of its history and cultural significance before turning to the side—
Only realize that there is no one there.
He blinks once, slow and steady, before glancing back to Wanmin restaurant, but whatever he is looking for, it seems he cannot find it. He thanks the merchant for their time before continuing on his way - heading toward a performance from one of Liyue's local poets who is currently retelling one of the tales of Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon.
Congratulations, you have cleared Liyue Market of erosion.
