Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Many Liyue people who returned to Liji left their homes and finally crossed the north of Tianheng Mountain and came to the south.

After Morax's search, the destination of migration was decided here.

This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. There are only a few roads in the mountains leading to the outside world, such as the Peach Blossom Spring.

Although it is not as suitable for people's life and development as Guiliyuan where Guiliji is located, it is safer than Guiliyuan.

The shadow of war looms over the land of Liyue, filling everyone with fear. All that every Liyue citizen hopes for in this era is a place of rest.

Morax naturally had his own careful considerations when he decided to establish a new town here.

"In the past, Guiliji relied most on ports to communicate and exchange materials with the outside world."

"…The water here is deep enough, and it is a natural harbor. After the Demon God War is over, the people of Liyue can use this harbor to redevelop."

Walking on a beach, Morax, wearing a white robe and a hood, said this to Saigo.

Holding a long lantern, Saigo strolled along the coast with Morax, listening to the sound of the waves, which was still calming.

"But it is not suitable to build here for the time being, and we must be more careful and vigilant."

"...There are two demon gods in Liyue who are good at naval warfare. One is Osel and the other is Orobas. If they come from the coastline with their followers, it will be a great threat to the people of Liyue."

Morax stared at the coastline in deep thought, probably thinking about how to set up defenses here.

The demons naturally have to be faced by other demons, but just as Morax has many immortal subordinates, many demons also have their own immortal beasts and human followers.

King versus king, general versus general, soldier versus soldier, this is the most basic way of warfare in the Demon War.

The most important thing, of course, is the outcome between the demons. If one demon directly defeats the other demon, then the outcome of this battle is almost decided.

But the outcome is not absolute. If it is a tragic victory, the demon god will be seriously injured and may be killed by other immortal beasts or even humans.

The battle between humans is also very important. Even if the demon god himself wins, if all his people are killed or injured, then the demon god's victory will be meaningless.

The demons fight for the "heavenly throne", and their ultimate goal is to rule the world, not to destroy it.

If we talk about strength alone, Morax is naturally the strongest demon in this land.

But the other demons knew that he was powerful and joined forces, so Morax did not dare to claim victory.

Just like the last time when all the demons joined forces to launch a surprise attack on Gui Liyuan, causing Gui to die in the battle.

Although Morax also severely damaged several demons, he himself was also seriously injured and is now recuperating.

Otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the fact that other demons were seriously injured and led his troops to attack and deal with them one by one.

Saigo just listened quietly to Morax's words. He was not very familiar with this world, so he spoke less and listened more.

Besides, for Saigo, his goal had been achieved.

After signing the contract with Morax, the power of the Mother of Evil has begun to erode this world, grabbing the origin to nourish new spirits.

It’s okay for Xixiang to start playing badly now.

But now that they are in the midst of a war between demons, he wants to take the initiative to join the war in order to prevent Morax from dying in the battle and to fulfill his agreement with Morax.

Saigo is a person who will not easily violate a contract. In this regard, he agrees with Morax, which is also the basis for both parties to seek common ground while reserving differences and live in harmony.

"I left Tianheng in the south, entered Yaoguang in the east, climbed Jueyun in the west, and visited Qingce in the north. All the lands are desolate, and all the lives are suffering. Liyue is so vast that there is no place for peace now."

Morax and Saigo walked into the 'New Guiliji' which was under construction. He sighed, feeling a little desolate.

The people of Liyue were gathering at the foot of the mountain at this time, and the young and strong young men were collecting rocks and other materials everywhere to rebuild their hometown.

Except for a few soldiers who maintained order, most of the soldiers also joined the army to build the town, and the work was in full swing.

The women raised silkworms and planted mulberry trees, doing some light work. Even the elderly joined in, using their remaining heat to work in the fields suitable for farming.

Xi Xiang observed carefully and found that most of the Liyue people were dressed in rags and had pale faces.

Perhaps they once wore beautiful clothes, walked in the bustling market, and traded with the merchants passing by.

However, the Demon War has been going on for many years, and the land of Liyue has long been devastated. The former prosperity is gone, and everyone is struggling desperately to survive.

It's not just the Liyue people here, it's the same for everyone on the entire earth.

This is war, cruel and ruthless.

The war on the continent of Teyvat is even more brutal because both sides involved in the war are demons!

No wonder Morax lamented that Liyue is so vast, yet there is no peaceful place. Seeing the suffering of his people, he must have felt sad.

He didn't even have time to mourn his friends who died in battle, as he was busy worrying about the future of his subjects.

“It’s not a good place to build a city.”

Saigo said this while gazing at the land surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Compared to the plains, it is too difficult to build a city here, and after it is built it will be a port mountain city.

"Although it's difficult to build, what the people of Liyue want most now is stability and safety. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which meets their needs."

"…If it doesn't work in one generation, then two generations will do. If it doesn't work in two generations, then three generations will do. And if it doesn't work in one generation, then one day the city will be built."

"Besides, the people of Liyue are good at mining jade and ore, so it's fine even if the town is built on the mountain."

Morax explained to Saigo.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"..."

Many Liyue people bowed and saluted when they saw Morax, and the soldiers of the Thousand Winds were even more excited.

In this age where humans and demons coexist, demons are not mysterious.

Although Morax does not often travel among the human world, his status is equivalent to the king of the people of Liyue, so everyone is of course familiar with this emperor.

Liyue has just experienced a defeat, and even Guizhong died in the battle. The people of Liyue are in a state of panic.

At this time, Morax needs to take the initiative to step forward and calm people's hearts.

After paying respect to Morax, many people were terrified when they saw Saigo. As a 'chaos demon', Saigo's existence represented the end of the universe, which naturally made all living beings fear him.

Morax nodded slightly, as a greeting to the people.

When Saigo and he walked through the crowd, they could still hear the people whispering behind them.

"That is the friend of the Emperor, and he is said to be a powerful demon god."

"That demon god is so terrifying. Just by looking at him, I felt like I was going to die."

"Master Guizhong is still gentle and kind..."

"Alas, it's a pity for Master Guizhong..."

"Alright, keep quiet. Although this demon god is terrifying, he is here to protect us. He is also a good friend of the Emperor. We, the people of Liyue, should respect him."

"..."

Hearing the whispers behind him, Morax said, "...I'll also say sorry first."

"…Now people are worried and panic-stricken, and they have just experienced a defeat. They need news that can cheer them up."

"I will borrow your name to calm the people's hearts."

Morax's words were simple and straightforward. It was obvious that he had ordered people to spread them. Otherwise, how would ordinary people know that a powerful demon had arrived.

In the rumor 767, Saigo apparently became an old friend of Morax, an extremely powerful demon who came to help his friend.

In these anxious times when people are dying in battle, this piece of news will reassure the people and give them motivation.

Morax didn't know Saigo's personality and was afraid that his rumor would displease him, so he apologized first.

A real man can bend and stretch. Since Morax is called the 'Emperor', he is certainly a man who can take it or leave it. He also has many imperial methods and is not a simply arrogant person.

"No problem, I don't mind."

Saigo shook his head and laughed.

Seeing this, Morax breathed a sigh of relief.

He found that this 'devil' was much easier to talk to than he had imagined, and he also attached great importance to the contract.

Perhaps through careful contact, the two could really become close friends.

"I know you're busy, so you let me wander around here alone. I'm quite curious about this world."

Saigo said at this time.

Morax nodded in agreement.

As for monitoring the other party, there is no need for that. The other party is powerful and is a follower of the Dark Lord. There is no need to do such a stupid thing to make enemies with him. Just let him move freely.

After Morax left, Saigo wandered around aimlessly. Not long after, he left the bustling construction area and came to Tianheng Mountain.

In a grassland between the mountains, Xixiang saw a pair of horns vaguely visible among the green grass with his sharp eyes.

The horns looked like sheep's horns, lying motionless in the grass, with a broken tree stump next to it.

"Could it be that a stupid sheep hit a tree stump and knocked itself out?"

Xi Xiang chuckled and walked forward. "...It just so happens that the people of Liyue are short of food. Although a lamb is not enough, we can cook it in a pot and drink some lamb soup."

"…In the past, people waited for rabbits by the tree, but now people wait for sheep by the tree!"

Chapter 5 Gulu Gulu just rolled down

Xixiang walked forward, stepping through the lush green grass. His shoes made a creaking sound as they stepped on the curved and tough grass stalks.

It had rained in Tianheng Mountain not long ago, and the soil underfoot was wet. Even the heels of my shoes would sink a little with every step I took.

The wind in the mountains is cold, and when it blows on people, it also feels desolate and cold.

The little lamb showed no sign of vigilance and did not even struggle when someone approached it. I guess it had fainted.

After walking a few steps closer and seeing the true face of the lamb through the gaps in the grass, Saigo was stunned.

He smiled and said, "... Turns out she's a little girl."

Curled up in the grass was a little girl who didn't look very old, probably about ten years old.

Her delicate and pretty face has not yet fully grown, but one can vaguely glimpse her future beauty.

The little girl had a beautiful appearance and crystal clear skin. She curled up like a baby and squeezed herself into the weeds.

Although this girl looks young, Xixiang thinks she is actually older than himself.

Saigo's gaze moved upwards and fell on her blue hair. On the top of her hair were a pair of curved horns like a goat. The horns were black and red in color with Sinnoh patterns on them, making them look more like a headdress.

Even the style of its hair looks like a sheep, so it's no wonder that Xixiang made a mistake when he was far away.

"But it is a fairy beast."

Saigo nodded slightly.

During the communication with Morax in the past few days, Xixiang also gained some understanding of this world and Liyue.

Fairy beasts can be considered as a unique product of Liyue, with human intelligence and animal form.

Most of the immortal beasts are born powerful. If some of them go astray, they will be demons and disasters to the people. If they go astray, they will become immortals.

The Rock Demon gathered many fairy beasts under his command, led them onto the right path, and made them devote their hearts to good.

According to Buddhism, it is also considered to be immeasurable merit.

Saigo is not a simple devil, otherwise he would not be happy about this.

But for Saigo, who controls the power of demons with human hearts and aims to achieve a balance between good and evil, he can accept such kindness.

"Little girl, wake up, don't lie here and catch a cold"

When you get closer, you can see that this little fairy beast was not knocked unconscious by hitting the wooden stake, but was just taking a nap here leaning against the stake.

Although it is in human form, it still has some animal habits.

Saigo wanted to kick her a few times to wake her up, but after thinking it over he decided not to.

After all, she is still a young girl, and it is not a good idea to use this method.

Well, she should be a girl over a hundred years old.

Saigo squatted down, stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl's round and smooth shoulders and shook them vigorously, "...wake up, wake up!"
