Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

The top floor of Inazuma Narukamijima Castle is the residence of General Raiden.

Only the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, the head of the three magistrates, and a very few special people are allowed to enter here. No one else is allowed to enter this hall.

The main hall on top of the castle tower is extremely spacious and wide. Apart from the wooden beams and pillars, there are no other unnecessary decorations.

Only some sculptures and weapons such as swords placed on both sides of the walls add a bit of solemnity to this hall.

Lei Dianzhen was wearing a gorgeous and elegant kimono. She was kneeling on her knees in the center of the hall with her beautiful eyes lowered, as if she was waiting for news.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the castle tower.

Lei Dianzhen raised her beautiful head and looked towards the door with anticipation in her gentle eyes.

A beautiful fox girl wearing a shrine maiden's costume and with white hair walked into the main hall of the castle tower. Kitsune Saimiya's expression was a little serious, which made Lei Dian Zhen feel a little scared.

"Kusaigong, you came back earlier than I thought."

Not long ago, Raiden Shin issued an order in the name of the general, asking Kitsunesaigong to represent the shogunate to go to the newly appeared island, meet with the demon there, and ask about the other party's purpose.

As a descendant of Baichen, Kitsaigong is a rare great monster in Inazuma and is extremely powerful.

In addition, the Fox Palace has many magic secrets, so even if the devil suddenly attacks, she is absolutely sure to escape.

If he wanted to be safe, Lei Dianying would be the most suitable person to go to the newly appeared island of Inazuma.

However, he was really afraid that his sister couldn't speak, and that the situation would become difficult to resolve, so he sent the fox demon who was more clever and cunning.

Hu Zhaigong first bowed deeply to Lei Dianzhen.

Even though they seldom do this in private, it is a necessary respect for seniority in serious matters.

The so-called civilization and etiquette come from this.

"My Lord, I have never set foot on the island of Haigi."

The slender and beautiful legs under the fox-sai palace priestess's costume also knelt down like Raiden Zhen. She put her hands on her knees, sat face to face with General Raiden, and discussed the important matter of Inazuma.

"Kaijima? Is that the name of the new island?"

"...You said you didn't set foot on that island. Did you get rejected by the demon god there?"

Lei Dianzhen lowered her beautiful eyes, and a pair of jade fingers moved slightly within her wide sleeves. Hu Zhaigong's answer undoubtedly indicated that something was wrong.

"Yes, I didn't set foot on Haigi Island, nor did I meet the demon god. I was just rejected by him."

"…I didn't dare to be rude and upset the unknown demon god, so I left after realizing that it was impossible to do anything."

"But I also used some magic and secret techniques to get some information from the people on Haiqi Island and learned some specific information about Haiqi Island."

Kitsuzhaigong suppressed his foxy nature and spoke in a very serious tone.

"You did well, Kitsai-guni... Even at its weakest, the power of the demon god is not something that mortals can resist. Your safety is more important."

"...Besides, if the demon god has a bad temper, it would be even worse if we provoke him and start a war."

Lei Dianzhen first praised Husaigong's maturity, and then she asked: "... From your expression, I know you must have encountered something incredible. It seems that the origin of Haiji Island is more extraordinary than I imagined."

Kitsusaigong nodded slowly and said, "...Just as you said, Master Zhen, I used secret magic to manipulate some people on Haiji Island and found out that they were from the 'White Night Country'!"

"...When Lord Bai Chen was still alive, I had heard of this mysterious country, but I never expected to actually meet someone from Bai Ye today. It turns out that Bai Ye is hidden under the abyss!"

Raiden Shin was slightly moved by Kitsusaigong's words. She sighed and said, "...I have heard of the name of Byakuya in the past, and I have always suspected that it is in Inazuma."

"...But for all these years I have never been able to find the location of the White Night Kingdom. It turns out that it is hidden under the sea. No wonder this country is so mysterious."

"There is a restriction set up by Sky Island under the abyss. I originally thought that Sky Island did not allow people to enter there, but now it seems that it is not that Sky Island does not allow people to enter, but that it does not allow people inside to come out."

"…Why did Sky Island not allow the people from the abyss to return to the surface in the past, but now it allows it again?"

Lei Dian is really a smart woman, she likes to think a lot.

But soon Ming Shen's heart trembled and he quickly abandoned these thoughts.

One must be careful in what he says and does when it comes to matters involving Sky Island, especially now that he is planning to use special means to end Inazuma's war with the demon god.

It would be unwise to attract the attention of Sky Island at this time.

Kitsaigong pretended not to hear Raiden really talking to himself.

Even the demon gods would have to be cautious about the Sky Island, let alone her, the great monster Inazuma. If possible, she should not have any curiosity about it.

"I also learned from the people of Kaigi that Kaigi Island was created by a god named Kaigi Daimikoto, who used his power to gather reefs from the abyss and form an island."

"…The people of Kaigi believe in two gods, one is 'Koten Daimikami' and the other is 'Kaigi Daimikami'."

"And the god who built Kaigi Island is none other than the subordinate god of 'Goten Daimikami'."

Kitsusai Palace explained to Raiden Shin in detail the information he had obtained on Kaigi Island.

"¨" Gaotian Daimikoto... Haiqi Daimikoto... are the demon gods that I have never heard of. There are actually two demon gods there."

At this time, Lei Dianzhen began to doubt whether he had thought wrong before. These two unknown demons should have nothing to do with Liyue.

She was also very glad that she asked Huzaigong to investigate the information. If she had asked her sister to go, she would not have had the smooth means to do so. Her sister would have been rushed in long ago.

There were two demons on the island, which was completely beyond Lei Dianzhen's expectations.

"And there is one more important thing..."

Kitsunayomi bit her lips slightly and said, "...I saw that the people on the Kaigi Island seemed to be preparing for war."

Lei Dianzhen fell silent after hearing this.

After a long while, the Mingshen sighed softly and said, "...It seems that this person has bad intentions."

"...Alas, this Inazuma is going to suffer again."

General Lei Dian was worried, but she (Qian De) was not worried about losing the war, because she really believed in her sister's military ability.

But once the war breaks out, everyone will be involved, and no one knows how many people in Inazuma will be killed or injured in the war.

However, for the people of the entire continent of Teyvat at this time, war has become as common as eating and drinking, and everyone is no longer surprised by it.

"In this case, we must also prepare and not be caught off guard by the other side."

"...I'll leave this matter to Ying."

After Hu Zhaigong retreated, General Lei Dian felt more and more uneasy.

She and her sister had experienced countless wars in the past, but never had she felt as uneasy as this time.

It was because the demon god on Haiqi Island was too mysterious, so Lei Dian had no information about him at all.

"At this time, I have to believe in Ying, and I can only believe in Ying."

Thinking this way, Lei Dianzhen became more and more anxious. She always had a premonition that something was going to happen to her sister.

Chapter 51 Coral Palace: I want to give you a child!

"real!"

After Kitsusaigumi left the castle tower, Ying walked out from behind the screen wearing a neat purple long gown.

She looked at her sister who was kneeling in the main hall on the top floor of the castle tower, her lips slightly opened, calling her name.

"Ying, it looks like I have to trouble you again."

Sitting in the hall facing south, kneeling on the ground with her knees, facing the main entrance of the hall, Lei Dianzhen had her back to her sister. She sighed softly and said.

Lei Yingdian crossed his arms over his chest, looked at his sister's gentle back in a beautiful kimono, and shook his head, "...What's the trouble?"

"…I am a military man who has no knowledge of politics or management. The only thing I can do is lead troops to fight."

"I see how hard you work every day, and I wish I could help you share some of the burden."

Listening to his sister's self-blaming words, Lei Dianzhen's eyebrows curved, and he smiled softly with his hands covering his mouth: "...Ying, you have helped me a lot."

"…Leading troops to fight is extremely important. If a country lacks military strength, no matter how rich it is, it will eventually be invaded by the enemy and become a target of plunder."

"Ying, why do you have to belittle yourself? Only when we two sisters work together can Inazuma become stronger."

Listening to her sister's gentle and tender voice, Ying's mouth unconsciously curled up into a faint smile: "...Zhen, you are too lucky this time."

"...Since there is a demon god in Kaigi Island 800, war is inevitable. This is the rule of the demon god war."

"Unless the demon god is free from the control of the order of heaven, but how is that possible?"

Raiden Zhen nodded slightly, and she sighed softly and said: "...Inazuma hasn't had a war for a while, and I just got lucky and thought about resolving the dispute without going to war."

"...Now it seems that it is indeed my heart that wants to escape."

Ying looked at her sister's tired back and said softly, "...The war will be over soon, really!"

"...After this, I don't think Inazuma will have any more major wars, but you will be even busier by then."

Lei Dianzhen laughed out loud at her sister's words. She said in a voice as soft as a silver bell: "...It's okay for me to be busy. I just hope that the people of Inazuma can live and work in peace and contentment."

Ying also nodded in response to her sister's words.

Demons are lovers. The Narukami sisters are also demons, and they also love Inazuma.

"I'll go make preparations right away. The other party's decision seems a bit hasty to me."

"…If I were the Demon God of Kaigi Island, I should have pretended to be friendly and tried to reduce my hostility, and then, while our shogunate was off guard, I would have developed military equipment in secret and made a thunderous strike."

"Now those White Night citizens from the abyss have just come to the surface and are ready to start a war. I wonder what their confidence is."

Lei Dianying walked towards the main gate of the castle tower with high spirits.

Lei Dianzhen smiled at his sister's words.

My sister is sometimes very dull and even too stubborn.

But when it comes to military affairs, she immediately becomes wise and insightful, and even uses all means of deception in war.

Although they have such smart minds, they always fail to do well in government affairs, and sometimes they are even deceived by their subordinates. It can only be said that the two sisters really go to extremes.

"film……"

Seeing his sister was about to go out, Lei Dian couldn't help but call her.

"What's wrong, really?"

Lei Dianying paused, revealing a flawless profile, and asked with a gentle expression.

"No, it's nothing, just be safe."

Lei Dian really thought about it, and finally did not express his previous uneasiness, but just smiled gently and said.

"There is no mercy on the battlefield. I will be careful about my safety."

Ying was not proud of her own strength. She listened to everything her sister said. She put one hand on her chin and nodded.

After seeing his sister leave, Lei Dianzhen finally withdrew his gaze.

"I hope I'm just worrying too much... He is experienced in the Shadow Battlefield and has strong martial arts skills, so I think nothing will happen."

……

Haiji Island, Coral Palace——

As the most important building on Kaigi Island, the Coral Palace is located in the center of the island. Although because Kaigi Island was built too recently, this shrine lacks some sophistication.

But the interior of the Coral (ciff) Palace has a beauty different from that of Inazuma.

Countless corals and pearls are inlaid in the shrine, shining brightly like the deep seabed, dazzling and fascinating.

As the people who once lived under the abyss, in addition to basic farming, the people of Kaigi Island are also good at collecting pearls. I think in the future, this can become a skill that the people of Kaigi Island can exchange for Mora.

The chief priest of the Coral Palace, whose name is the present-day goddess of the Coral Palace, was kneeling in front of the statue of the shrine and praying.

Next to Coral Palace are other priestesses summoned by the shrine.

After finishing the prayers for today, Coral Palace said to the pair of shrine maidens beside her: "...Mizune, Ayame, you should leave the shrine first."

"…Haijima is currently under construction, so you can go and help those in need."

The miko sisters responded respectfully, "...Yes, Master Coral Palace."

Coral Palace watched the two sisters leave.

It is not difficult to find geniuses and distinguish those who are different from ordinary people in the continent of Teyvat.

Because only those unique humans have the ability to manipulate elemental magic.

Sisters Mizukumo and Ayame are the few people on Umi Island who can use elemental magic, so the Coral Palace recruited them as priestesses to serve the gods.
