Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Although people say that they should take life and death lightly, that is only because they know that they cannot reject death and the dead cannot be resurrected.

Morax knew that the demon god of Teyvat like him was born with the power of the light world and the power of the human world, and there would be no possibility of "resurrection" after he disappeared into the world.

Even though Nativat is high above everyone else and owns the Sky Island, he is powerless.

So although Morax has regrets, he does not feel remorse.

Because he knew that the past was past, and reminiscing about the past would only be a sacrifice in the end. He wanted to look to the future and complete the unfinished business of the two.

It's not that Morax is heartless or ungrateful, it's just that he knows what he should do.

However, when he saw this incredible existence and witnessed its power that far surpassed that of Sky Island, Morax actually had a hidden expectation in his heart about what kind of power such an existence would have.

Now, he knows.

If it is the law of nature that life eventually leads to death, then the dark lord before him has the great terror and supernatural power to distort the laws of nature and turn death into life.

Knowing that the dead cannot be resurrected, we should forget the past and look forward. Only in our spare time should we reminisce about the past and lament the transience of life.

Well, if the dead can be resurrected, but you still find all kinds of reasons not to make up for your regrets, then you are truly heartless and ungrateful.

Even rocks have hearts. After Gui finally died, Morax also saw his own true heart and had a change in his awareness.

He suddenly raised his head, staring at the 'Great Lord' with his deep brown eyes as hard as rock, and asked in a deep voice: "...The contract is two-way, what price do I have to pay?"

A contract is the embodiment of power and obligations. If you have power, you must also fulfill obligations.

Saigo said casually: "...I haven't decided on your price yet. When I decide, you can pay it."

His carefree attitude of playing with the truth of the world is consistent with everyone's impression of this dark lord.

Morax understood that free is the most expensive, and this seemingly priceless price is actually the heaviest.

Because on a blank contract, the other party can fill in any price he wants to pay.

But the same thing still applies: whether Morax agrees or not, this contract will be signed forcibly, and it is an unequal treaty from the beginning.

However, it is still a contract recognized by the God of Contracts because subjectively both parties are fair.

As the dark lord said, his unfathomable power is part of the contract, and this power makes unfairness fair.

To put it another way, if Morax didn't want to be decent, Saigo would help him be decent.

Morax understood this, so he decided to be decent and be a decent person himself.

"¨"Heh... the same principle applies. You will all make up for your regrets and fulfill your deepest wishes just like Morax. "

"…But you will eventually have to pay a price, and now is not the time to tell you what that price is."

Saigo then looked at Nangong Nayue and Feishu. His gaze made the two of them tremble and feel terrified.

"I should give you more time to communicate, but now is not the right time."

In fact, for Saigo, Morax served as a beacon to help him integrate into the continent of Teyvat and provided him with a constant supply of origin for his own growth. This was already the price Morax paid.

But such a simple price was too easy, and Saigo found it a bit boring.

That's why he made his words ambiguous, letting them guess and fear on their own, which made it interesting.

Sometimes people scare themselves to death. Saigo is such a funny person.

"Go back, grow up, and give me everything you can with fear!"

Saigo's voice faded away, and endless darkness came again from all directions.

When the darkness surrounded everything, light emerged from the darkness.

Morax was in a trance, and then he found himself back in Tianheng Mountain.

"Moraxlu!"

The hoarse and flustered voice of King Rudra sounded in my ears.

Morax was silent for a moment, then said, "...old friend, how long have I been away from here?"

"You just disappeared for a moment."

The Dragon King Ruota said in doubt.

“It was only a moment.”

Just as Morax was lost in thought, he was suddenly startled and turned around abruptly.

Then, he saw a tall, strange and mysterious man wearing a black robe embroidered with gold edges standing not far behind him.

The man smiled and nodded to Morax, saying, "...Good afternoon, Morax!"

"...Perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is 'Zarathustra', and you can also call me the 'Demon of Entropy'!"

Chapter 1: The Demon of Entropy

"Demon?!"

After hearing Saigo's self-introduction, the expression of the Rhodo Dragon King changed drastically. It held up its huge body as big as a mountain, and stared at Saigo with its pair of dragon eyes painted by Morax with a look of horror.

King Ruota didn't know how Saigo appeared here.

It is understandable that it bypassed the patrols of the immortals and the Yakshas and came to Tianheng Mountain, but even it and Morax did not discover each other at the first time. This unknown demon is more powerful than imagined.

The Dragon King Rāshtra opened his mouth, and what came out was not the scorching dragon breath, but the thick and long-lasting power of rock.

As the incarnation of the element of rock, the body of King Rāshtra is composed of the element of rock. Naturally, every breath he takes mobilizes the power of the element.

"Wait a minute, old friend!"

Just as King Rudra was about to take action, Morax stepped forward and opened one of his hands to stop King Rudra.

Then, whether it was Morax or Lord Rhoda, they were all attracted by Saigo, or rather, attracted by the lamp in Saigo's hand.

The demon in front of him appeared in human form, and like Morax's human form, he was a handsome man.

It's just that the two have different temperaments. If Morax gives people the feeling of a stable rock, then the demon in front of them gives people a feeling of terrifying chaos.

He was wearing a gorgeous black long gown with narrow golden edges on the edges, making him look very luxurious.

The most eye-catching thing is the lamp in his left hand, which attracts the attention of all living beings like the center of the world.

The demon's left hand was as flawless as white jade, and in that hand, he held an ancient and weathered lantern.

The style of the lamp is completely different from Liyue culture.

When Guiliji was prosperous, it had exchanges with many regions, and the style of this lamp is very similar to the culture of the area on the other side of the snow mountain.

A tiny black flame was burning in the simple lantern, and a mysterious and strange faint glow was surrounding the flame.

The pitch-black flames seemed to absorb all the light around them, thus forming a circle of light. If a technological civilization saw this, they might recognize that it was almost exactly the same as a black hole in the universe.

Morax and King Rhodra did not know what a black hole was, but they had a feeling that the black flame burning in the lantern could suck everything into it.

It can turn order into chaos, bring all things to an end, and ultimately under the superposition of 'entropy', everything will end and turn into chaos.

The spirit of his 'Demon of Chaos' that Saigo has now come to the continent of Teyvat is his spirit of 'Demon of Chaos'.

This spirit that is still in the withering stage and has not received any nutrition is naturally much weaker than the 'Aged Spirit' that has completed its evolution.

But no matter how weak he is, his spiritual power is now close to the ultimate of mortals and close to the concept of the realm of God.

This realm of God is not the self-proclaimed God, but the transformation of life, the sublimation of God into one of the concepts of the universe.

Xixiang's aging spirit has reached perfection, and now it is time to cultivate this chaotic spirit.

The Chaos Spirit symbolizes the process of the rules of all things moving from order to chaos, which is also the irreversible entropy increase process that hinders the development of the second type of perpetual motion machine of mankind.

So this demon is also called the 'Demon of Entropy', but in case the people of Teyvat cannot fully understand the concept of demons, Saigo used the name 'Demon of Entropy'.

Morax and Rhodra Dragon King struggled to move their eyes away from the lantern in Saigo's hand.

They could clearly feel that the lantern contained concepts and powers that were resisted by all living beings.

The increase in entropy represents the end of the universe, an outcome that all living beings in the universe are trying their best to avoid.

There is even a universe where, in order to avoid the coming of the demon of entropy, a technology was invented to convert emotions into energy.

Morax sighed in his heart, thinking that this being who called himself "Zarathustra" should be the incarnation of the demon under the command of the Dark Lord.

Although the power of the incarnation in front of him was not beyond common sense and could not be compared with that of the great lord, the essence of the power he possessed was still noble.

In Morax's mind, the Saigo in front of him was just an incarnation. If his real body came, it would be even more terrifying.

"This is my friend..."

Morax thought for a moment and explained to Lord Rudra.

Saigo's origins are difficult to explain, so he can only use this method.

Besides, he didn't understand Saigo's character and way of doing things, and he was wary of him.

The only thing Morax can hope for is that this 'demon' that appears on the continent of Teyvat will abide by the contract as the Dark Lord said.

The God of Contract can only hope that the other party will abide by the contract, which seems a bit helpless.

"Morax your friend?"

The Dragon King Ruotu was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

It had only been a thousand years since Morax had given it eyes, but before it met it, Morax had already lived for more than two thousand years.

Almost no one knows what this God of Contract experienced during the first two thousand years after his birth.

So it is reasonable that he met and got to know other demons and became friends with them during these two thousand years.

Now Gui Zhong has died in battle, Guiliji has been completely destroyed, and the people of Liyue have been displaced and some even have to leave their homes.

There are many demons in the outside world eyeing the situation covetously. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Morax to seek help from his former friends.

From the perspective of universal reason, this makes sense!

King Rudra was unconsciously thinking in the same way as Morax.

However, there was one thing that puzzled the Dragon King Ruotu, that is, why did this demon god not get involved in the demon war? He even had time to help other demon gods fight.

But no matter what, now that there are strong people joining our side, the tense situation in Liyue can be eased.

It is also a strong shot of hope for the people of Liyue who are in deep despair.

After all, the people of Liyue have been accustomed to the two demon gods ruling the world together for seven hundred years. Now that Gui Zhong has left and only the Emperor is left, they are naturally terrified.

There is no such concept as "rule by man" in this era. Humans who dared to have this concept would have been turned into offal by the power of the devil.

For the people of Liyue, they can only be grateful and pray devoutly to have a powerful demon god and the emperor protecting them.

The Dragon King Ruotu also thought so. If the person was acquainted with the Emperor, he must be an ancient demon god, powerful and terrifying.

Although the breath of this demon god frightens all living beings, as the demon god's beloved, he should be able to protect the people of Liyue through this darkest age.

King Rudra had a beautiful idea, but Morax did not have such a beautiful fantasy.

This 'Demon of Entropy' must be dealt with carefully! .

Chapter 2 The Destined Throne

"In ancient times, when I was still young, a star fell in the wasteland west of Liyue."

"…As the star fell to the ground, the wasteland that faced the impact turned into the vast and deep abyss that it is today. Beautiful jade, gold and stone grew out of it, and it is inexhaustible and can be used endlessly."

"Thus, the mining industry of Liyue was established. Over the past thousand years, Liyue has mined all kinds of minerals, creating a grand scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current."

On the Tianheng Mountain, Morax stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the crowd of people wandering around below him with an expressionless face.

But there was a warm light in those rock-like brown eyes, protecting the people under his feet.

After thousands of years of development, Guiliji once had a large population. Although it suffered heavy casualties during the invasion of the demon god, Guiliji was completely destroyed and turned into ruins.

But under the protection of the Demon Lord of Dust, most of the people of Liyue survived.

Now, under the order of the demon god Morax, many people of Guiliji have abandoned their homes and are moving from the north to the south of Tianheng Mountain.

Due to the large population, the relocation could not be completed in one day. The long line of people stretched for dozens of miles. Although the people were sad, they did not complain much and moved forward tenaciously.

People living in this era all know how terrifying the demon is. The reason they can still survive in this world is because of the protection of the Rock Demon.

Morax spoke calmly, yet with a hint of desolation, as he told Saigo the ancient history of the land beneath his feet.

Since this demon came to help him protect Liyue and fight against many demon gods, Morax would tell him everything he knew, so that he would be honest.
