The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 340 The First God
Holy Spirit Empire, Holy Mountain No. 27.

There are many holy mountains in the Holy Spirit Empire, and the number is increasing. Each holy mountain has a pond for the gods to rest. Next to the pond stands a giant tree for the Suzaku Tianjun to rest.

The giant snake opened its eyes, yawned slightly ferociously, climbed out of the pool, shook its head, and looked at the Suzaku that had landed on the giant tree by the pool: "Wake up, wake up, why are you here again?"

"What, you're not welcome?"

Zhuque glanced at him and said in condemnation, "I was helping you look after the kingdom while you were asleep, but you turned against me the moment you woke up?"

"How could that be? I recognize it."

The giant snake yawned again, coiled up, and scratched its chin with the tip of its tail: "How long did I sleep this time?"

"About twenty years?"

Zhuque thought about it and noticed that the giant snake looked very tired. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you look so sleepy as you sleep?"

"I had a lot of weird dreams, and I was a little confused."

"What dream was it? Tell me about it."

"I had a dream where I somehow returned to my original world and my school days. I was in class when two beautiful girls suddenly kicked open the door and shouted my name."

“This should be a sweet dream, right?”

"Then one of the girls with blonde hair raised her wrist and asked me if I had seen the bracelet she was wearing. Of course I hadn't, so I answered honestly."

"and then?"

"Then... the other girl took out two submachine guns and smiled and asked me to think about it carefully."

"..."

Zhuque was stunned for a moment, and looked at the giant snake with a strange look in his eyes: "This dream is indeed a bit strange, but I do have a guess."

"What guesses... Never mind, I don't want to hear them."

The giant snake reacted and immediately shook its head. He understood this friend too well. Sometimes, his words were more poisonous than his own venom.

"It's okay, I can just say what I want."

Zhuque was unmoved, cleared his throat, and said: "According to my guess, Big Snake, you must have been single for thousands of years, and you couldn't stand the loneliness, so you had a wet dream!"

The giant snake stared: "You call this a wet dream?"

"Hey, don't be impatient, just listen to me."

Zhuque flapped his wings and said, "But you and I were both originally human. Now you have become a snake, and it is awkward to look at people or snakes, so even if you are restless, there is nothing you can do. That is why you have this strange dream!"

"That's enough!"

The giant snake wished it could seal the crazy bird's mouth with a breath, and didn't understand why it was so stupid to make such a friend.

"Alas, the truth is always unpleasant to hear. This is why the truth hurts the ear."

Zhuque shook his head and stared at the giant snake with a smile: "You can just smile secretly when you have a friend like me."

"If I could beat you, I would have..."

The giant snake paused, raised its head and looked at Suzaku, looking eager to give it a try. He had gained a lot after waking up from his deep sleep this time. Maybe this crazy bird was no match for him?

"Why, you want to compete?"

Zhuque saw what he was thinking and seemed to raise an eyebrow.

"Let's spar with each other, mainly to see how much better I am."

The giant snake grinned, its fangs were cold, reflecting the sunlight, and looked quite ferocious. He took a deep breath, aimed at Suzaku, and roared out a poisonous breath!

"Roar--!"

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and flew, dragging its long tail feathers, in an elegant and lazy posture, flying high into the sky, scattering large patches of red flames, and flying higher and higher. Then at a certain moment, the Vermilion Bird suddenly turned, still dragging its tail feathers, and swooped down in vain.

"Wow—"

The divine bird cried, clear and ethereal, echoing far away. Then there was a loud noise -

"Boom!"

The high priest withdrew his gaze, his expression calm, as if he was used to it. He turned around to comfort the somewhat panicked boy and girl: "Don't panic, it's just Suzaku Tianjun and the gods playing around. Get ready, the gods will come over to eat soon, so show your best attitude!"

"Yes, High Priest!"

Feng Jun stood on tiptoe, trying to look in the direction of the holy mountain, but he could only see a vague firelight.

The playfulness between gods, I really want to see it with my own eyes!
God must be very handsome!

The girl was daydreaming, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity and longing.

At this moment, the handsome god in her heart was slapping the flames on his body, grinning, and it took him a long time to extinguish the Suzaku divine fire that was clinging to his body.

"How come your flame can burn everything? That's cheating!"

The giant snake was angry, and secretly made up his mind that when he had a chance to reset himself and start over, he would create a powerful flame that could burn everything.

"I specialize in fire, isn't it natural for me to be more powerful?"

Zhuque landed back on the carbonized giant tree and said in a relaxed tone, "Would you like to spar with me again?"

"No, no, I can't beat him."

The giant snake shook its head, and the scales on its body that were burned by the divine fire quickly recovered, leaving no trace. He coiled up again, with his chin resting on the tip of his tail: "Big Bird, you are the mysterious first god, right? I have never seen a god who can fight better than you."

"Me? Of course not." Suzaku denied, then smiled: "But I have seen the First God, and fought with Him. To be honest, I am only slightly worse than Him, and can be considered the First God under the First God."

"That's still the second one."

The giant snake muttered, and took advantage of Suzaku's glare to change the subject: "What does the first god look like?"

"What else could it look like? It's not a human."

"It certainly can't be a human."

The giant snake thought that he was talking nonsense. Under the restrictions of the rules of the Holy Spirit World, all gods were beast-shaped, without exception. Even if he was the first god, he couldn't violate the restrictions of the world rules.

"Don't think about it. The First God is too special. It is not yet time for you to know His identity."

Zhuque turned his head and pecked at the feathers on his wings, then glanced at the giant snake: "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well think about how to solve the problem of the end of the sun."

The end of the sun, about three hundred years ago, the sun in the Holy Spirit World began to change: every day, the time the sun appeared would decrease by one minute, and the night would increase by one minute.

And the situation is getting worse and worse. Every god who has reached a certain level has a premonition that in the near future, the sun will set forever, and at that time, the Holy Spirit World will usher in eternal death.

The giant snake looked heavy, thought for a long time, and sighed: "It would be great if I could catch the sun, beat it up, and then nail it to the sky with a nail."

"You need wisdom to deal with Doomsday." Suzaku looked disdainful, "Forget it, you'd better forget it, you reckless man."

"Why am I a reckless man?" The giant snake was dissatisfied: "I am obviously very good at using my brain."

"Heh, I don't think that using your body to entangle the enemy and then giving them a headbutt is called "being smart"."

"..."

Considering Suzaku's strength and the fact that he was not making things up, the giant snake had no choice but to swallow his anger and change the subject: "Are you hungry? The high priest has prepared two portions of food. Do you want to share?"

"Go by yourself. I don't have as good an appetite as you."

Suzaku flapped its wings, and after seeing the giant snake leave, it sighed softly.

I didn't expect that He actually did it, it was really amazing. It was good that He did it, at least it showed that my choice was right.

Zhuque raised his head, looked at the crumbling sun in the sky, and seemed to smile.

"This is really a dream... What difficult decision did that dead snake encounter again?"
