Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Saigo would sign a contract with Heulia to protect her. In addition to his pity for this poor and gentle demon, it was also a test of Sky Island by Saigo.

He wanted to see if Sky Island would react after he took away control of a demon god.

If there is a reaction, Saigo is just trying to see how much of the so-called "natural justice" in this world there is.

The justice of the continent of Teyvat is completely different from the justice that the mother of the evil god faces. The justice of the continent of Teyvat is more like the control of the world by someone in power.

The evil god's mother faces an unpredictable fate.

However, after Saigo took away the ownership of Heulia, Sky Island did not react at all. No one was sent to check the intelligence, and no one took action to fight with Saigo.

Therefore, this led Saigo to have several guesses. One was that Sky Island might feel that Saigo was not easy to mess with, so it was secretly accumulating strength.

The second is that Sky Island is most likely operating according to certain rules, and a demon god's escape from control is not within the scope of these rules, so Sky Island has no reaction.

"Baal and Baalzebul will surely face the same dilemma at this time. Who will ascend to the throne in the end? The elder sister or the younger sister?"

"...According to the rules of the Demon God War, they should kill each other in the end, and the victor will ascend to the throne and seize power."

·· ········Request flowers····· ·····

Zhongli's words were still so calm, but Xixiang clearly heard a hint of subtle gloom in his tone.

This Sky Island has done some evil.

There are many demons on the continent of Teyvat. Before the Demon War, many of them might be close friends or even relatives like Baal and Baalzebub.

But the emergence of the Demon War forced them to kill each other because there was only one ruler.

I'm afraid that even if a demon god ascends to the throne and becomes a true "god" in the end, they will definitely not be happy in their hearts, and may even resent Sky Island.

Because it was Sky Island that forced them to kill each other, brothers and sisters.

"If you are interested in the twin sisters, you can go to Inazuma to see them after the Liyue incident is over."

………………

"...The reason why they haven't ended the war yet is probably because they are thinking about how to solve this problem."

"If you can help them solve this problem, I think you will become their guest of honor."

When Morax saw that Saigo was interested in the pair of demon sisters of Inazuma, he reminded them.

Unlike other demons, Saigo is a truly free man. Sky Island has no control over him and dares not control him. The continent of Teyvat is huge, but Saigo is probably the only one who can come and go freely.

Even Morax has been bound to Liyue to some extent.

"Guest of honor? Why not the guest of honor?"

Saigo raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.

Morax continued to drink his tea, having become accustomed to Saigo's occasional outspoken remarks.

As an ancient demon god, Morax is different from humans. He is a person who can face his desires directly. After hearing Saigo's words, he thought for a while and nodded:

"…from a universal point of view, it is possible that he is the guest of honor."

Seeing Morax using such serious words to tell such a dirty joke, Saigo couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Morax, you are so funny!"

"Is it interesting?"

Morax stroked the teacup with his hand. This was the first time he heard such a description.

Ordinary humans and immortals respect him and would not say such things, but in the end they would say that he is like a piece of wood or a stone, but would not say that he is interesting.

But precisely because Morax is like a piece of wood and a piece of stone, he is also interesting in Guizhong's eyes.

Otherwise, how could that gentle demon god keep chasing after him?

Chapter 23: You, Zhongli, dare to make friends with the Emperor?

Steal the floating life for half a day.

Xixiang and Zhongli sat at the tea stall where there were not many people, drinking tea, watching people coming and going, and chatting about random things.

Seeing that there were not many people at the tea stall, Xi Xiang asked casually: "...Boss, I see that there are not many people at your tea stall. Is your business not good?"

He is also showing sympathy for the people at the bottom and wants to know the real situation of Liyue Harbor.

"Mr. Haojiao learned that it is a working day now, and it becomes lively here during lunch break and evening break."

"...and if it's a holiday, our tea stall will be crowded, and it's really noisy then."

"Hehe, this is all thanks to the Emperor in Ziweiyuan. Now the administration in Liyue Harbor is clean and fair, and there are laws to follow. The Emperor even requires working hours, and if the time exceeds the limit, double the salary will be paid."

"...This will give more opportunities for the people at the bottom of society. Emperor Qiliuqi is wise and decisive, the most holy and wise!"

When the tea stall owner saw Saigo asking about it, he spoke excitedly and bowed towards the Ziweiyuan Palace high in the north to show his respect.

Upon hearing this, Saigo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The tea stall owner thought Xixiang was just a young master who had not been out for a long time. When he was asked about it, he opened up and said a lot, which made Xixiang have a deeper understanding of the overall situation of Liyue Port.

Right now, because we are still in a war period, Liyue Harbor's economic development cannot see a leapfrog growth, but I believe that when the war is over, Liyue Harbor will enter a prosperous era.

"Liyue was founded on commerce, and its economy is developing rapidly. However, if a country wants to be strong, it must share its wealth with its people."

“…If wealth does not belong to the people, even if the economy is prosperous, the money will only go into the hands of a few people.”

"Money needs to flow. If money is concentrated in the hands of only a few people, how can it flow? Even those who are as rich as a country have a limit on how much they can spend."

"...by then, Liyue will inevitably experience deflation. In the long run, the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer. Class contradictions will become the main contradiction in Liyue."

"Because of you, the God of War, the lower class people cannot change Liyue even if they want to use force. In the end, Liyue will only become a tragedy on earth, a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor."

Saigo uses his thousands of years of experience and historical accumulation from multiple worlds to tell what will eventually happen when a country focuses on business.

If it were an ordinary country, it would be fine. If the people at the bottom really can't survive, they can still rebel.

But in this country where God suppresses people, how can the lower class people possibly resist?

Xixiang also gave Zhongli a piece of advice, otherwise when that day really came, he, the demon god, would also have a huge headache.

Zhongli was sipping the fragrant tea. He was intelligent, and he understood the meaning of the tea after just a little guidance from Xixiang.

In the past, Zhongli had no one to learn from, so he could not understand these things, but as long as someone pointed them out, he could quickly analyze the key points.

"No wonder you established so many detailed and complicated laws and set many regulations for Liyue. It was all for the future thousands of years."

"...Liyue is lucky to have you. I will use tea instead of wine to toast you!"

Zhongli held up the teacup with both hands and solemnly offered tea to Xixiang.

Xixiang also smiled and raised his teacup to clink with Zhongli.

After drinking the tea in his mouth, Zhongli said again: "If that day really comes, I will support those at the bottom."

Hearing this, Xi Xiang said, "...With your words, Liyue will not be in chaos anymore."

This is the good thing about a world with God. As long as God supports us and is enlightened and just, this country will be much happier.

Therefore, in Saigo's view, if the gods will not be worn out and can maintain their own will as before, divine rule will be much stronger than human rule.

Rule by man? Oh, the world is bustling with people all for profit, people are too greedy, and when productivity has not developed to an extreme, rule by man is bound to have problems.

"This is also thanks to you. You made a contract with the people of Liyue. Those who violated the contract would be punished by eating rocks. It is because of this contract that what I want can be truly implemented in Liyue."

Saigo said with a smile.

Just like the overtime system he set for Liyue, if it relied solely on human laws, there would definitely be people who would not comply and would think of various ways to evade it.

But now this law is made by God. If any businessman does not comply with it, he will be punished by the Rock God.

It is precisely because of the existence of God that people dare not cross the laws and regulations of Liyue. Otherwise, merchants will definitely become capitalists and control more means of production to exploit.

The two of them praised each other's business.

When it was noon and it was busy, Xixiang saw that there were many people and that he and Zhongli were really taking up other people's seats, so he shouted, "...Boss, check out!"

"Here you are. You and Mr. Zhongli drank two pots of tea in total. Just... Hey? Where is that gentleman?"

The boss came over with a smile to collect the money, but found that the Xixiang man who had just called him was gone...

With no other options, the boss had to look at Zhongli.

Zhongli's expression remained unchanged. He drank the last sip of tea in the cup, not wanting to waste it.

Then, under the eager eyes of the boss, he said calmly: "...I forgot to bring Mora, you put the account on record at Ziweiyuan."

again!

The boss slapped his forehead, looking helpless.

Oh, that Ziweiyuan is where the Emperor who governs Liyue resides. How dare a mere Zhongli like you try to make friends with the Emperor? You are such a shameless person!

But the boss didn't say this out loud.

Although Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and well-informed, his behavior has always been a little abnormal. He might be a mentally ill young man from some family.

The person is already in such a miserable state, you should not provoke him any further. In two days anyway, the maid from the Zhong family will come and return the money.

Alas, the Zhong family is so miserable. How could they give birth to such a son?

The boss sighed inwardly.

……

"It is said that Namorax found another demon helper from somewhere?"

"Humph, now that the Demon God of Dust is dead, where did Morax find this poor fellow?"

"This time we must make a concerted effort to kill Morax and the Dragon King Ruota, and the other fairy beasts Yakshas will not be a concern!"

"Let's get rid of Morax first, then we can decide who owns the land of Liyue!"

Many demons agreed.

The demons thought that the demon helpers Morax found would probably not be very strong, just like Guizhong.

After all, under the rules of the Demon War, if the demon that Morax finds is powerful, it would be equivalent to asking for trouble for himself.

Because even if Morax wins in the end, he still has to compete with this demon.

I guess this demon god signed some kind of contract with Morax before agreeing to help him.

The 'Demon of Whirlpool', 'Demon of Mountain', 'Demon of River', 'Demon of Sand', 'Demon of Earthquake' and other demons all took action, vowing to kill Morax and fight again in Liyue! .

Chapter 24: The Emperor is famous for his civil and military achievements!

"A thousand rocks are solid, and the mountains are immovable. A strong fortress of armor, to quell demons and evil spirits!"

"..."

"A thousand rocks are solid, and the mountains are immovable. A strong fortress of armor, to quell demons and evil spirits!"

"..."

In Liyue Harbor, all the residents were hiding in their homes, listening to the loud slogans of the Thousand Rocks Group outside.

A woman was sitting on the corner of the bed, holding her baby in her arms, praying silently.

There was a middle-aged man pacing in the house, looking out through the window from time to time. Even though he couldn't see anything, it seemed that only this could make him feel a little at ease.

The young man was filled with passion and wanted to leave home to fight the invaders with the soldiers of the Thousand Rocks Group, but he was pulled back by his old father.

"Ridiculous! What are you going to do? Are you going to cause trouble for everyone? The soldiers of the Qianyan Group are all selected by the Emperor himself. Each of them is an elite warrior who has fought in hundreds of battles. What point will you have in going there?"

"...What you need to do now is to trust the Emperor, trust the immortals, trust the soldiers of the Qianyan Group, sit still and wait for news from outside."

The young man was pushed back into the chair by his old father. He opened his mouth to speak, but finally his face turned red and he sighed, saying no more.

All the residents in Liyue Harbor were praying silently, hoping that the two emperors would win.

They came to Liyue Harbor from Guiliji ten years ago, and lived a prosperous life under the rule of the Emperor. They don't want to leave their homeland and experience the hardships they experienced ten years ago again.

Moreover, the 28 ordinary people in Liyue Harbor also knew that they had nowhere else to go. If Liyue was defeated, they would not know what kind of future would be waiting for them.

The people of Liyue Harbor were in a panic, but their trust in the two emperors made them stay at home honestly, just waiting for the outcome of the war.

Even ordinary people understand that this is probably the last battle of the Demon War in Liyue.
