The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 249 Ying: I have an idea

"But you didn't expect that this rumor would spread more and more widely, becoming more and more terrifying, and it might even push Umijima completely against Inazuma. That's why you stopped your small moves and tried your best to stop the rumor, but it's too late now."

"Am I right? Kamisato Ayaka."

Yae Shinko looked at Kamisato Ayaka, who lowered her head and looked pale, and asked disappointedly, "Does Kamisato Ayaka know?"

"...My brother doesn't know."

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "My brother said that no matter what the situation, the Kamisato family should obey the will of the Shogun. Kaigi Island is dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order and formed a resistance army to fight against the shogunate, which is disrespectful to the Shogun. The magistrate should cut off contact with the Coral Palace of Kaigi Island. Not being hostile is the biggest concession."

"Then why don't you listen to your brother?"

"Haigo Island did nothing wrong. It was the Eye Hunter Order, the oppression of Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo that led to today's situation...Haigo Island's resistance was also a helpless act."

"Nothing wrong? A helpless act?"

Yae Shinko seemed to be laughing, but there was no smile on her face: "In Inazuma, in the kingdom of the God of Thunder, the island of Umi still believes in the dead snake. This is their original sin."

"The general is kind and allows the people of Coral Palace to continue to worship the great snake in the name of [Umi-no-Omi-no-Kami], so that he can enjoy the sacrifices. But this does not mean that the people of Coral Palace can go against the general's will."

Kamisato Ayaka felt sorry for it and retorted, "Even if this decree is distorted, will it destroy their family?"

"Then let their families be destroyed." The Eightfold God Son said indifferently.

If one day, Yae Goddess was asked to choose between Ying and all the people of Coral Palace, she would definitely choose Ying without hesitation, and could even send the people of Coral Palace to death with her own hands.

Nothing was more important than her God—including herself.

"..."

Kamisato Ayaka stared at her blankly, opened her mouth, and said bitterly: "I don't understand, why?"

"Of course you don't understand, because this is the worst possible outcome, and it is also the outcome that will never happen. It is a nightmare in which gods will no longer be gods and humans will no longer be humans."

Yae Shinko sat up straighter, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "Kamisato Ayaka, do you still remember what the slogan was when Umijima resisted the shogunate army at the beginning, before the rumors got out of hand?"

"The Shogun has been deceived by a villain, and the shogunate is carrying out a distorted order, which they will never accept." Kamisato Ayaka replied, finally realizing something, and her face became paler.

"It seems you have thought of it too."

Yae Shinko took a sip of tea and put the cup down: "Now they are calling for the resurrection of the great snake Orobas to compete with the general."

She looked at Kamisato Ayaka and suddenly asked, "How much do you know about Xumi?"

"...Sumi, the Kingdom of Grass, is the kingdom of Lord Little Auspicious Grass King. It is located to the west of Liyue, the Kingdom of Rock, and consists of two parts: rainforest and desert." Kamisato Ayaka's fingers became stronger and stronger, and her nails almost embedded in the flesh.

She naturally understood what the Eightfold Son of God meant. The people of the Xumi Rainforest were all believers of the God of Grass, but the people of the desert could not forget their former god, the Red King Amon.

Some desert people believed that it was the Grass God who killed their gods, so they rejected and even hated the Grass God, missed their gods, and never gave up the idea of ​​reviving the Red King.

During the long-term resistance, although the people of the desert and the people of the rain forest are both Sumeru people, their living conditions are more than different.

The people of Xumi Desert only speculated that their god was killed by the grass god, but the Inazuma people were different. They all knew that Orobas was killed by the general.

And now, most of the people in the Coral Palace are shouting that they want to revive their gods and fight against the General... This is undoubtedly seeking death!
Yae Kamiko looked at Kamisato Ayaka's self-blaming, sad and anxious expression, her expression gradually relaxed and she sighed softly.

To be honest, Linghua did nothing wrong. She was just too kind and too young. In addition, the situation on Haiqi Island was tense and supplies were in short supply. She was confused and made a bad move. "I am a follower of the Thunder God. I can sense that the general is fine. He just didn't show up."

Yae Shinko knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, then sighed and said, "So what we can do now is to do our best to change the voice of the people of Coral Palace before the situation becomes completely irreversible."

Otherwise, when that stubborn guy Ying comes back and sees the people of Kaigi Island shouting Oropus' name and attacking the people of Inami with knives and swords...there is no big snake on Kaigi Island that can withstand Ying Wuxiang's sword.

But how easy is it to change the voice of the people of Coral Palace in a short period of time?

Even the human-goddess priestess of Haigi Island and the heart sea of ​​Coral Palace could not resist or change the will of all the people of Coral Palace at this moment.

Kamisato Ayaka frowned, names flashed through her mind one after another, but she quickly discarded them.

"Well... I have an idea."

Ying, who had been listening quietly at the side, finally understood what had happened and the current situation, and raised her hand.

Kamisato Ayaka suddenly looked up, and together with Yae Shinko, looked at Ying. Her silver-gray eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, but was also worried that the straw was just an illusion.

"But I have a question."

Ying coughed lightly and looked at the two of them: "You just said that the god Orobas worshipped by Haiji Island is a giant snake... What does this giant snake look like?"

……

"This place is really small. If I didn't have the ability to change the size of my body, there would be no room for my divine body here."

The giant snake Chen Tianfeng yawned, his white fangs flashed coldly, and his scales were pale. He clearly had a breath of life, but no matter who saw this giant snake, they could always sense the strong and terrifying disaster hidden under his body. Especially his eyes, looking into his eyes, it was as if you saw the death of all things in the world.

Chen Tianfeng looked up at the thick roots of the cherry tree, then lowered his head and found Ying and Hua Sanli who were hiding far away, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Didn't we agree that once He was ready to devour the filth in the earth veins, He would start gathering the filth in the earth veins and let Him swallow it all in one gulp? Why did He suddenly hide so far away?

"I'm, I'm scared, sir."

Hua Sanli swallowed and looked up at the terrifying giant snake, fearfully and sincerely: "Sir, I can actually control the speed at which the filth gathers... or we can go to a few more places and eat a few more times... If you turn back into a human, we can do it little by little."

"…I think Hanasari is right."

Ying nodded, his face stiff.

As a god, she naturally saw more and more truth than Hanasari. I thought Chen Tianfeng's human form was scary enough, but who knew that his god form was truly terrifying.

In her vision, there were faint shadows of many gods flashing behind the giant snake. They seemed to be wailing, but they did not even have the strength to wail, as they were torn and swallowed by eternal death.

And when Ying saw a very familiar figure among the many phantoms of gods - Osel, the Demon God of Whirlpool, his expression became even stiffer.

"Really, we're in no hurry."

Ying persuaded again: "Tianfeng, put away your god form and change back to human form...we can take it slowly."

Hua Sanli nodded vigorously: "Yes, no hurry, no hurry."
