Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 513 How many things happened in the past and present?

The bright morning light slowly emerged from the sky of Liyue Harbor, shining on everyone without favoritism, but listening to Famas's low tone, the warm sunlight seemed to have lost its effect.

The Traveler and Paimon only felt their bodies stiff and cold.

"Moracus bypassed Dihuazhou, which is governed by Heulia, and attacked Qingce Village via Jueyunjian, restricting the territory of Chilong and forcing the other side to shift its strategic focus to the salt land in the south."

"And Heulia is a submissive person. Facing the Chilong's coercion, the Salt God will definitely choose to cede land to quell the war."

"At that time, Morax will come forward in the name of the God of Contract and urge both parties to sign a contract, thereby balancing the territories of the two and preventing the mortals of the Salt of the Earth from rising up in rebellion due to Chilong's excessive greed."

  Like a person who is forced to leave bed early in winter, FAMAS slowly twisted his neck to look at Zhongli's expression, and then described the cruelty of the Rock King in a rhythmic tone:

"This conspiracy involves everyone. Since Hagentus, the god of dust, maintains a good friendship with Heulia, the mother of salt, Morax can use the excuse of caring for the safety of humans in the salt soil to persuade Heulia to move the city underground... When the god of salt has nowhere to retreat, Morax can think of a way to completely solve the hidden dangers of salt in the ground."

"After all, the impact of the Demon God's authority collapsing underground is far less strong than when it was on the surface."

"And out of trust in Morax, Hagentus and Heulia never doubted the stern-looking Rock King from beginning to end. All their hatred was focused on Chilong."

"The God of Dust asked Morax to lead the army to conquer the brutal Chilong. But every time the Guili Twin Kings occupied Chilong's land, Chilong would go even further to take it back from Heulia. When his friends were attacked, the God of Dust hated Chilong even more... Hatred is a cycle that will never end."

Perhaps because he was talking excitedly, a slightly crazy smile appeared on Famas' face, and Yingmei just felt creepy.

During her journey, she and Paimon met Barbatos, the god of wind, Morax, the god of rock, and Harpas, the former god of fire. Although she heard countless anecdotes and legends about the gods, the gods themselves were very secretive about the past during the Demon War.

She and Paimon had long been accustomed to bickering with Wendy, occasionally paying for Zhongli's tea when he sat at the table in boredom, and using Famas in slime form as a heater... The traveler, who thought she had enough understanding of the gods, only realized at this moment that she still knew very little about the past of the demon god.

"Heulia believed Morax was helping her until her death. Even when faced with the insatiable Chilong and assassinating humans, the Salt Mother was filled with sorrow and sadness."

"It's a pity that she is too weak. She is so weak that the damage she can cause while alive is not as great as the residual power after the collapse of her power after death."

Famas's eyes were extremely cold, and the questioning meaning in his words was self-evident.

"Am I right, Morax?"

Hearing this, the Traveler and Paimon looked at the silent Zhongli at the same time. Even though Famas's narration was clear and logical, Xueying and the little mascot still couldn't imagine that Mr. Zhongli, who was usually elegant and easy-going, would do such a thing.

However, as the silence prolonged, the shock and disbelief on the faces of the Traveler and Paimon gradually increased. Just when the two women were about to open their mouths to ask more questions, Zhongli finally sighed, and his expression seemed to be guilt, but more like relief.

"At that time, there were only seven thrones ordained by the heavens, and Heulia was not endowed with great power... But in the end, it was not the case. She still had the qualifications to ascend the throne. When a demon god was powerful enough, the heavens would also pay attention to it."

"If not, after the Demon God War ends, except for the seven remaining winners, the rest of the Demon Gods will all die under the rules."

Zhongli did not directly respond to Famas's question, but talked about past events related to Guizhong.

"I had high hopes for this, just like a mortal praying for the attention of the gods. The oath and the future simultaneously drove the chariot named Guiliji forward. I cleansed the four directions, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, shared faith with Guizhong, and handed over the occupied land to her for governance, but the sky never responded."

Zhongli raised his head. At the edge of his sight, higher than the sun, an almost broken island was quietly floating in the sky.

Even though Sky Island looks dead and lifeless, no ruler dares to go to the island without an invitation and test the current situation of the law of nature. This shows the remaining prestige of the maintainers and the strictness of the rules.

After hearing Zhongli's confession, the sarcasm on Famas's face faded a little.

He knew that Zhongli and Guizhong had a good relationship, but he never thought that they were so close. No wonder Morax always had a stern face when the Seven Gods gathered, sitting in his seat drinking wine, and his eyes would occasionally fall on the Baal sisters who were whispering. This was because Baal and Baalzeb were the only twin demons among the Seven Rulings. The elder sister Lei Dianzhen was weak in martial arts, while the younger sister Lei Dianying was a shadow warrior accompanying her. The two complemented each other and won the Demon War and the throne of the Ruling together.

  Since the two sisters Lei Dian were able to survive, why couldn’t Zhongli and Guizhong?

"I didn't know you could be so naive, Zhongli."

Famas crossed his arms and started to taunt with emotion. It was not until then that Yingmei and Paimon gradually accepted the many past events they had heard tonight about Famas, Zhongli, Heulia and Guizhong.

"Maybe. This expectation did last for a long time."

Zhongli was not as embarrassed as many people imagined. When he talked about the past, it was as if he was describing an ancient myth.

"Until I received guidance from the sky, the rebellious god Harpas committed the rebellious act of "intercalating the earth", and no longer had the ruling position..."

"The throne of the God of Fire has no owner. If I kill the rebellious god Harpas now, can I give Guizhong a chance to survive?"

Zhongli's eyes were extremely cold, and Famas was speechless at first, then the corners of his mouth gradually rose, like the sharp corners of a crescent moon, and finally he laughed wildly in a very exaggerated manner, and his laughter was even mixed with interruptions of choking on saliva.

"Hahaha... I see. Well, I should have thought of it earlier. If there was no profit in it, how could you have come all the way to Munata alone?"

"No wonder Guizhong trusts you so much and is so devoted to forming an alliance with you. This friendship is truly enviable..."

Famas' tone was teasing, but his expression was as calm as Zhongli's, and one could even clearly hear a sense of distance from him.

If he used to think that Zhongli had been deceived by the will of heaven and therefore did many incomprehensible things, now Famas only felt that Morax was no different from the other demons who were driven by interests in the war.

The indifferent indifference to all things in the universe and the cruelty of using any means to achieve the goal are the essence of the demon. Even if Zhongli has come to his senses and wants to learn human emotions, the demon can never become a human being.

Not everyone has Heulia's almost cowardly kindness.

"The relationship between Guizhong and I is nothing more than a covenant..."

  How could Zhongli not see the narrowness in Famas's eyes? After reiterating his position, he asked in the same tone:

"Need I remind you of your drunken behavior with a certain High Sky Singer during the gathering of the Seven Gods?"

The traveler blinked her beautiful amber eyes. She knew, of course, that the singer in the sky referred to Wendy, and she was also curious about what ridiculous things the two had done.

The girl received too much explosive news tonight and has become a little numb.

But FAMAS did not respond, just stared at Zhongli with a look of garbage.

What do you care about what Barbatos and I do?

Having said this, Zhongli withdrew his thoughts from the sky, put his hands behind his back, and spoke after a moment of hesitation: "I feel sorry for what happened to you and Heulia, but the mistake has been made and it is irreversible."

"I am willing to do my best to compensate you..."

Zhongli looked like he wanted to say something, but having learned the truth, Famas was no longer in the mood to listen to his explanation. He turned around without hesitation and walked away in the direction of the rising sun.
