Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Human desires make it impossible for all humans to have such a high level of awareness.

"Okay, let's go down."

Saigo waved his hand, indicating that the Seven Stars could leave.

The seven-star positions are roughly divided into six parts, including those in land construction, transportation, auditing, and population inspection.

The six-department system of feudal society could not be applied to Liyue, so Xixiang divided the power into six parts and let six of the seven stars take charge of all the people's livelihood in Liyue.

Liyue was founded on commerce, and commerce is the most important thing, so the head of the Seven Stars is in charge of business planning.

However, there is no business activity in Liyue for the time being, and the position of the head of the Seven Stars is the most embarrassing.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Zaratul."

After Qixing left, the Salt Demon Heulia came out with a basin of water. She had a gentle look on her face and placed the basin in front of Xixiang.

Then, there was no need for Saigo to do anything, as the demon god used his warm and soft hands to wash Saigo's hands.

Ganyu, who was standing by, also quickly put down the meeting minutes in her hand, took a clean towel and stood aside, waiting for Xixiang to wipe his palms after washing.

Saigo felt that he was becoming more and more like the emperor who indulged in sensual pleasures and indulged in debauchery.

Chapter 33 No, you came at the right time!

Heulia gently lifted Saigo's hand and placed it in a basin filled with warm water.

The demon god gently rubbed and washed Saigo's fingers.

Her skin is slightly warm, cool, delicate and lovely.

Although Saigo's body would not produce any impurities or dirt at all, seeing Heulia's serious and careful look, Saigo did not say a word and let the Salt Demon do what he wanted.

After his hands were washed in the basin, or rather, after Heulia finished massaging them, Ganyu, who was standing nearby holding a dry towel, hurried forward and wiped Saigo's hands dry.

“Ganyu, Heulia, you don’t have to do this.”

After wiping his hands, Saigo spoke.

Gan Yu stood aside, her eyes slightly lowered, looking a little dazed as she said, "...The Emperor is busy with many things every day, but I don't know how to help him solve his problems, so I can only do some odd jobs."

The Salt Demon beside him also nodded in agreement.

Xi Xiang shook his head and smiled: "...Little Ganyu, why do you think you are so humble? You have helped me a lot. You have helped me a lot with so many chores. You have already helped me solve my problems."

Ganyu whispered softly, "...but I can only do some chores."

Xi Xiang laughed and said, "...Little did he know that these trivial matters are the most important things for Liyue now."

"…Although I decide the strategic direction for the entire Liyue, in order to complete these strategies, more people like you, Ganyu, are needed."

"I have taught you almost everything I should have taught you. If I am no longer around, and if Ganyu is still willing to stay in this world, all the big and small things in Liyue's future will be done by you."

Xixiang felt that if Ganyu was willing to stay in Liyue Harbor, given her lifespan and abilities as a fairy beast, and with his own teaching, Liyue Harbor might belong to Ganyu in the future.

Even if the Seven Stars control the government, what is the point of formulating top-level plans?

The Seven Stars are human beings after all, and each group of Seven Stars will be replaced by the next one when their term of office expires.

By then, the Seven Stars will be as constant as the rain and water.

Moreover, as Saigo said, no matter how the top leaders formulate strategic plans, it will be useless if no one below does the work.

At that time, no matter how the Seven Stars issue orders, if Ganyu is unwilling to do the work and pretends to obey but actually disobeys, then the fate of the Seven Stars will not be able to leave Ziweiyuan.

Maybe there will be a drama in Liyue Harbor by then, and its name will be "Yes, Seven Stars!". The name of the drama is Seven Stars, and the leading role should be Ganyu.

“Is the Emperor planning to leave Liyue?”

Ganyu didn’t think as far ahead as Xixiang did, and she didn’t realize that she should be the master behind Liyue Harbor after several years.

Now, Ganyu's heart tightened when she heard Xixiang say "if he wasn't here".

Saigo smiled and said, “…The reason why I was in Liyue and gave orders was only during the war and the post-war construction period.”

"…At this time, the people of Liyue are unstable and need me to stabilize their hearts. In addition, Liyue needs a far-sighted person to decide the future direction, so I personally sit in the center and command the four directions."

"But I am a demon god. How can I rule the human kingdom forever? One day, I will step down from this position."

"...It just so happens that the seven people now have both talent and virtue, and are even jokingly called the Seven Stars by the people. I think this kind of political system is good. From now on, the Seven Stars will rule the land of Liyue."

Saigo was actually preparing for his departure, and it was impossible for him to really stay in this continent of Teyvat for many years.

The reason why I came to this land is because Morax, as a contractor, has something to ask for.

Now that he had completed the contract and helped Morax win the war against demons, Morax was no longer in danger of life, and Saigo's unbreakable contract was terminated.

All that remains is for Morax to fulfill the rest of the contract, and as long as he is alive, he is fulfilling the contract.

Ganyu thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Even in the past when they were in Guili Collection, the Rock Demon and the Dust Demon did not always stay in Guili Collection.

They appear once a year to formulate the next strategic plan, and then disappear for the whole year.

Even as an immortal, it is rare to see those two demon gods.

As a demon god, it is rare for Xixiang to be willing to stay in Liyue Harbor for nearly twenty years and govern it personally.

Ganyu felt very sad just thinking about the fact that after Xixiang left in the future, she might not see him a few times a year.

It was clear that Emperor Rock King had not been seen for a year in the past, and I never had such thoughts.

But why do I feel so sad and heartbroken when I think about the emperor not being around?

Ganyu thought about it carefully, perhaps it was because she had stayed with Xixiang for too long, which made her feel longing for him and have strange feelings for him.

The Rock King was of a calm and aloof nature, never smiling, and he kept a distance from people.

But this emperor was always smiling and talking, not fussy about details, and was too close to her.

Ganyu was feeling sad. Saigo said to the Salt Goddess: "...Heulia, you are the same. As a demon god, why do you have to do the work of servants?"

"...Now the land of Liyue is peaceful. Although various monsters and evil creatures appear one after another, it will not experience a chaos like the war between demons and gods again."

"You can also put aside your worries and think about other things like you did before the war."

“…You said you had nothing to do, but now that peace has come, your authority will be a blessing to the people of Liyue. When the time comes, Liyue will become rich by doing business with Shangguan Salt…”

"Besides, Heulia, you should also learn from Morax. As a demon god, why should you worry so much? You should relax when you need to relax and take time off when you need to be idle."

At this point, Xi Xiang suddenly had an idea and said, "...It just so happens that since you, Heulia, feel that you have nothing to do, I will set up a salt official in the name of the Liyue Emperor to carry out the salt administration."

"…Salt is a very profitable commodity. It is the most important daily necessity for people. The Seven Stars were elected by the people for their talents. If the salt administration falls into the hands of the Seven Stars, they will enrich themselves."

"In this case, it would be great if we could separate this business and let you, the Salt God, manage it."

Seeing that Heulia and Ganyu were simply model workers and had to do some work, Saigo had no choice but to find things for them to do.

"Do you think I will be in charge of the salt? That's good. I was in charge of these things when I was in the Kingdom of Salt."

Heulia smiled happily. Seeing that Saigo had found something for her to do, Heulia was also happy.

As a loser, she not only did not die but lived a happy life in Liyue Harbor. This made the gentle Heulia feel uneasy and felt that she had gained too much.

She also wanted to do something for Liyue and her people.

Human beings are greedy. In this society with low productivity, salt is an absolute huge profit. In order to prevent anyone from becoming greedy, it is better to hand over such huge profits to the devil for management.

After all, humans will go crazy for Mora, but demons won’t.

Don’t you see that as the God of Wealth, Morax himself doesn’t have a single Mora, and is so poor that he can’t even afford a 5.5 Ding-Dang.

Heulia was grateful that Saigo not only saved her, but also saved her people and brought a better life to them.

Now she has found a new meaning of existence in this post-demon era. She was so excited that she couldn't help but take a step forward and hugged Saigo.

Ganyu, who was standing by, was a little flustered when she saw this. She didn't think much about it and hugged Saigo just like Heulia did.

Although Ganyu didn't know why she did this.

Xixiang was surrounded by beauties on both sides, both of whom were rare beauties in the world. Just when he was stunned for a moment, Morax's voice came from outside the house: "...My friend..."

Seeing that the door was not closed, Morax walked in without knocking.

Morax, who passed the screen and saw this scene, was also stunned for a moment. He calmly said: "...Did I come at the wrong time?"

"No, Morax, you came just in time!".

Chapter 34 I hope the Demon Sisters will not be ungrateful

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting light on the earth.

Saigo and Morax walked among a pile of dead bones, and the atmosphere was eerie.

Xixiang's hand-held lantern became the only light in the darkness. The surrounding land was barren and rocky. The howling wind sounded like the howling of a ghost, which was terrifying.

This place is not far from where the demon god Bonei, who was killed by Saigo, fell. The breath and traces of the demon god still remain on the earth.

These auras and traces are difficult to eliminate because they all come from the authority of the demon god.

These powers correspond to the laws of nature, which are naturally stubborn and difficult to eliminate, and can only disappear slowly over time.

Saigo walked among the weeds. He looked at the ground and saw that the soil was loose, which showed that the soil here had been turned over by someone, and there must be countless corpses buried underneath.

"This used to be a village, but the entire village was destroyed during the Demon God War, and the people inside were also affected by the aftermath of the Demon God War, and all of them have died."

"…In order to prevent the bodies from being exposed in the wilderness and causing a plague, the soldiers of the Qianyan Group buried the bodies on the spot when they passed by here."

"Afterwards, this area became a mass grave. Many people who died in the Demon War were buried here."

Seeing Saigo looking at the soft soil under his feet, Morax explained.

After a pause, he continued, "...The demon god Bonei was killed by you. The authority of that demon god is related to earthquakes and death."

"…His power is scattered here, connected with the aura of death in this mass grave. I am afraid that demons and zombies will be born here in the future."

"The resentment after the death of the demon god is related to power. It is almost impossible to eliminate it. Otherwise, if we just destroy this place, there won't be so many troubles."

Morax sighed slightly.

Saigo also studied Feng Shui when he was in the bloodthirsty world.

He looked around carefully. The feng shui here was quite bad, and there were many corpses buried there. Even if there was no power of the devil, there would probably be monsters here.

Now that it has the power of the devil, this monster will only become stronger.

"It is difficult for the dead souls to be reborn if they are not dispersed."

Saigo said with certainty.

Morax nodded slightly and said, "...I didn't expect that you, my friend, also studied these things."

"…It is just as you said. Souls gather here. Under the dual influence of the devil and the earth veins, it is difficult for them to be reborn. I wonder if some special wonders will appear here in the long run."

Morax and Saigo walked through this unpredictable land, and Morax did not care about the possible harm it might cause in the future.

This is why it is not a big deal to have too many debts. Too many demon gods have died in this land of Liyue. There are countless places like this one that are affected by the resentment of demon gods. It doesn't matter anymore after seeing so many of them.

Fortunately, the devil has died not long ago, and resentment has not yet fully formed, so not too many evil spirits have been born.

However, about a hundred years later, evil spirits will begin to appear in the land of Liyue under the influence of the devil's resentment.

"My friend, you once asked me what lies in the depths of the ocean."

"...To be honest, even I am not very clear about this."

"That endless dark area is called the Dark Sea by our demon gods. It is not that no demon gods have explored it in the past thousand years."

"...But every demon god was vague and secretive after returning. Some even disappeared forever in the dark sea."

"That place is outside the Teyvat continent. Although I have traveled all over the continent, I have never explored that area."

"…Such a risk is not worth taking."

Morax suddenly said at this time, his words were vague, as if he was hiding something, and he just said with words like a reminder: "...it may be related to the truth of this land."

"…If you want to explore there, please be careful."

"The Demon God War does not allow fugitives. Orobas ran south. He has only two destinations."

"...One is the current Inazuma. But if it went to Inazuma, with Orobas's strength, he would not be a match for the demon sisters and would definitely be killed."

"And if he doesn't go to Inazuma, then the only place he can go is to escape from the continent of Teyvat and go to the Dark Sea to avoid the eyes and ears of the people in heaven."
