Zongman: A Traveling Journey Starting from the Supreme

The land of Liyue is vast, and apart from the continent where Liyue Port is located, there are many peninsula-like areas connected to it.

According to Xixiang's estimate, there are still millions of square kilometers of land.

Even in any world, the size of this piece of land is enough to be called a huge country.

Today's Liyue land is divided and ruled by many demon gods, and each demon god and his subordinates have formed a country similar to a city-state.

And the demon god is the god and king of this country.

If you want to describe it, it has a bit of the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when many princes and states fought and fought for the throne of the emperor.

With Xixiang's endless magic power and mature use of space control techniques, he can reach even millions of square kilometers of land in a short time.

 …  

However, Xixiang was not in a hurry, he spent several months walking on this land, almost went to the territory of all demon gods, and observed their development.

There are even two demon gods in the sea, and their dependents are all on the archipelago, and the islands are connected one after another.

It can be seen that the demon gods really love people, and every demon god wants to help human beings develop as much as possible.

But it is true that the demon gods are powerful, but not every demon god is a smart person, and not every demon god can understand the needs of human beings.

Just like Morax, the returnees he ruled in the past lived well off, but mostly by commerce.

As the demon god of the contract, Morax pays attention to the contract, which makes the contract develop into a business and brings prosperity.

But Xixiang also chatted with Morax, this demon god knows a thing or two about human politics, but he is not particularly proficient.

This is the limitation of the demon god's thinking, after all, they are demon gods rather than humans.

Just like Morax, he completes all governance by contract, which just meets the needs of civilization development by mistake. Therefore, Guiliji in the past established the country by business.

After all, domination is actually a contract.

But other demon gods are different, they don't make a contract, they just love people in their own way.

The human beings living under the rule of these demon gods are not much better than the many people who are now displaced in Guiliji.

After traveling through many city-states, Xixiang finally came to a small country on the land of Liyue, an inconspicuous small country.

This is the kingdom of the "Demon God of Salt".

Chapter 13 Heulia

Xixiang has been in the land of Liyue for more than several months, and this country is the most panicked and the smallest country he has ever encountered.

During these few months, Xixiang's goal was to find those demon gods and see if they could solve them directly.

But these demon gods seemed to know that he was coming, and they hid one by one, never showing their faces.

After a little thought, Xixiang knew the plan of these demon gods.

When this group of demon gods joined forces to injure Morax severely when Guiliji killed them before, most of the demon gods also suffered minor or serious injuries.

These demon gods are not monolithic internally, and they join forces to fight against the enemy only because Morax is too powerful.

But if they defeated Morax, they would still fight each other in chaos until only one survived and ascended to the throne like a gu.

In this case, these demon gods have to be wary of each other, and at the same time, they are also afraid that Morax will go to them to "[-]" revenge.

Even if Morax was severely injured, he was still stronger than these demon gods. If Morax came to him alone, he would die.

In this situation, the best way is for everyone to hide separately until their injuries recover and they will besiege Morax and get rid of the strongest one.

So Xixiang wandered around for a few months and couldn't find any trace of the Demon God.

Of course, he also has a way to lure out the demon god. The demon god loves people. As long as he takes action against those demon god's people, he will definitely make the demon god furious.

But if Xixiang does this, he will undoubtedly turn against Morax, because Morax is also the demon god of lovers.

Morax is the contractor of Xixiang. Compared with other demon gods, Morax is obviously more important to Xixiang. In the end, Xixiang gave up this idea and did not really do it.

Now, after several months of traveling in Liyue, he finally found a Demon God.

This demon god is not hiding, but is located in his own country.

This country is called 'Salt Country', and it is also the only place called 'Country' on Liyue Land.

You must know that in the realm of other demon gods, the demon god is not only the god that the people believe in, but also the king who governs the people.

But this 'Salt Kingdom' is completely different, the god and the king are completely separated.

The people here believe in the demon god of salt, but they have their own human king.

This country is small, but because of the authority of the Salt Demon God, the people are actually very rich.

Salt is a necessity for all human beings. Almost all the salt in Liyue Land is produced here. Even before the Demon God War started, the salt from the 'Salt Country' could be exported to other regions.

At that time, besides Guiliji, Liyue belonged to the people here who were the most prosperous and happy.

But now, Xixiang sees despair in the eyes of the people of this country.

This despair is completely different from the despair of the people of Liyue when they left Guiliji. Although the people of Liyue experienced defeat at that time, they were also desperate, but everyone still had surging motivation in their hearts.

But the people here are almost dead silent, like walking corpses.

There were some people making loud noises on the street. When Xixiang came closer to listen, he found that these people were actually giving speeches in the market, cursing the demon god of salt with spit.

"Interesting, to actually scold the god I believe in like this."

Xixiang is very interested, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in today's Liyue Port.

Liyue Port does not say that everyone is devout to Morax, but if they really say bad things about Morax there, then they will definitely not be able to go to Liyue Port.

But here it is different, some people scolded the Demon God of Salt in the street, others not only did not get angry, but took it for granted, as if they were used to it.

Xixiang listened carefully, and he basically understood why the people here cursed that demon god like this.

But that demon god was too cowardly and incompetent. Facing the aggressiveness of other demon gods, she didn't resist at all, but kept cutting land and paying compensation.

The former "Salt Country" had a large area and was one of the few big countries in this land. However, during the Demon God War, the entire country was divided by other Demon Gods. After years of wars, only this small country remained.

All the citizens know that now the country has no land left, and when the Demon God attacks again, what can the Demon God of Salt do to satisfy the appetites of other Demon Gods?

Could she treat herself as compensation?But no one wants such a weak demon god!

When the soldiers enter the country, the whole country will fall apart, and I don't know how many people will die here.

It is precisely because everyone has seen their own future, and because of the Demon God of Salt's inaction, that everyone angrily reprimanded the Demon God, calling her cowardly and incompetent.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, and take away those leaders who dared to scold Lord Demon God just now!"

At this time, a group of soldiers came to disperse the crowd, and those who had spoken before had already fled.

Everyone glared at these soldiers, thinking that they could not resist the invasion of foreign enemies and only dared to bully the people.

But seeing that he was unarmed and the other party had weapons, they could only leave with their heads down.  …

Now it is the royal family of this country that still supports the Demon God of Salt.

People think that it is natural for the royal family to support the Demon God of Salt, because their power is bestowed by the Demon God, so for their own power, they must support the Demon God.

The crowd dispersed, and the streets once again fell into a dead silence. Everyone was waiting in despair for the end to come.

"Today cut five cities, tomorrow cut ten cities, and then have to sleep overnight, starting to look at the four realms, and the Qin soldiers are coming."

Inexplicably, Xixiang thought of this sentence in The Six Kingdoms, and the demon god of salt undoubtedly fully explained it.

The image of a cowardly, incompetent, panicked, potbellied and incompetent king flashed across Xixiang's mind.

"It's rare for a demon god to be so cowardly."

However, Xixiang felt that there should be other secrets in it, but this also made Xixiang have a strong interest in this demon god.

He raised his eyes to look at the largest building in the city, where the palace must be, and the breath of the demon god is also in it.

Saigo stepped forward and disappeared into the street.

……

In a magnificent temple in the palace, a demon god with a weak figure and beautiful white hair is sitting on the throne.

Her eyes looked fierce, but amidst the fierceness, there was an extreme gentleness.

The demon god stared out of the temple with a dazed expression, as if he was looking at the land ravaged by war from afar, with compassion in his eyes.

At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of the temple, and King 5.8 of the Kingdom of Salt was walking into the hall with several guards.

The king did not report anything at all. Although he was pious on the surface, his behavior in meeting his god could almost be described as blasphemy.

Heulia withdrew her gaze, her seemingly fierce but gentle eyes were fixed on the person who came, and she softly opened her red lips and said in her beautiful voice: "... King, did you come to me for something?"

"...Could it be that another demon god is attacking?"

She looked sad, sad.

"Lord Heulia."

The king, who was in his prime, looked at the demon god sitting on the throne. His expression was complicated, and his eyes were full of admiration, but there was still a trace of undetectable love deep in those eyes.

But the king dared not let people discover this love, because it would be a blasphemy against God.

The king clenched the dagger in his hand, his expression becoming more and more painful.

Chapter 14 God Killing

The king of the country of salt clenched the dagger in his hand, and he lowered his head to prevent the demon god from seeing the pain in his eyes.

But the king didn't know that even though Heulia was weak among the demon gods, she was still a demon god. How could she not notice the changes of a human being with little power.

It's just that the Demon God of Salt didn't have any anger at this time, but instead felt a sense of relief.

Didn't Heulia know that such a concession would only make other demon gods more greedy and make her own people lose everything?

She knew, of course she knew.

The Demon God of Salt is weak, but that doesn't mean she's not smart enough.

It's just that there is no way, in a cruel war, in this world, power is the most fundamental thing.

She also wants to fight against other demon gods and lead her people to fight.

It's just that Heulia looked around, only to realize that she didn't even have a sharp blade to wield.

Not to mention resisting the invaders, she couldn't even protect the people.

So Heulia repeatedly backed down and tolerated again and again.

Because the Demon God knows that if he resists, the whole country will be plunged into catastrophe. Facing the massacre of other Demon Gods and their families, the people of the Kingdom of Salt will not have any chance of surviving.

Although the land is lost now, at least the people are still there, at least the people have not died.

This is Heulia's last tenderness to her subjects, it is her dedication to her subjects after she gave up her dignity and self-esteem.

It's just that her people didn't understand her, and instead scolded her for being cowardly and incompetent.

Heulia knew how her people scolded her in private, but Heulia had no choice but to endure the grief and swallow the pain.

If there is anyone in this country who can understand Heulia best, it is probably the king who has the greatest power other than the demon god.

Heulia has ruled this country for an unknown number of years. From the king's father to grandparents, they all accept the rule of the Demon God of Salt.

Once, their country was so rich, even compared to Guiliji.

But the arrival of the war has turned all this into an illusory passing cloud, and the former prosperity has only become word of mouth suspicion and envy.

The king knew he was about to commit a great treason.

But it didn't matter, because he had committed a great treason long ago.

Because he fell in love with this demon god, fell in love with this beautiful, kind and gentle demon god.

The king tried his best to get in touch with her and to understand her, and it was this excessive closeness to the demon god that made him know the pain in the heart of the god he should believe in.

It's just that no matter how implicitly he expressed his love, the Demon God still didn't respond.

From this, the king understood that the demon god loved him, but the demon god also loved all people. Her love for human beings was fraternal love, not personal love.

After understanding this, the king was both sad and relieved, and even had a sense of surprise.
