Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

After the two sisters disappeared from view, Coral Palace continued to kneel on the ground and silently prayed to the statue in the shrine again.

Then she stood up and went to the backyard of the shrine.

The so-called gods in the continent of Teyvat are demons, and they exist in the world.

However, because Oropas is huge in size, he usually lives in seclusion in the mountains, and only Xixiang lives in the backyard of the mountains.

Soon, Coral Palace saw Saigo standing in the shrine, looking up at the sky, thinking about something.

Coral Palace moved lightly and came slowly behind Saigo. The priestess just lowered her head and said nothing, not daring to disturb the god's deep thoughts.

I don’t know how long it was, but when the setting sun completely fell into the western horizon, Xixiang finally withdrew his gaze.

He turned his head and looked at the witch behind him with pink gradient hair as delicate as pearls, and said softly: "...Coral Palace, do you have something to talk to me about?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Coral Palace's beautiful, slightly childish face, but she finally mustered up the courage to say, "...Great God, Coral Palace has something to ask of you."

"…But I am afraid that my words may violate the authority of God and make you angry."

Saigo said calmly, "...Go ahead, Coral Palace! No matter what you say, I won't get angry. I still have some tolerance."

Coral Palace lowered his head and said, "...then please allow me to be bold."

"...Goten Daimikoto, I want your bloodline to remain on the Umi Island, and I want to give birth to a son of God for you!"

Chapter 52: The Shrine Maiden Who Appears as a Human God

Saigo turned his head and looked at Coral Palace who was standing respectfully behind him.

This human-like witch goddess transformed from the pearl has a resolute and courageous expression, and her eyes are full of wisdom.

Coral Palace is wearing a modified shrine maiden costume, and the overall color is as gorgeous as the corals in the sea.

The witch has a slightly childish face and doesn't look very old. She has bright eyes, white teeth, a kind heart, and a pair of beautiful eyes with gradient colors like pearls, shining like the rays of the sun.

After hearing Coral Palace say that she wanted to give birth to a child for him, Saigo felt neither the joy of having a beautiful woman devote herself to him nor the calmness of having no reaction at all.

He just stared at the witch and asked, "…Why do you suddenly have this thought, Coral Palace."

"…Tell me everything you think. No matter how outrageous your words are, I will not blame you for anything."

He was indeed curious about what Coral Palace was thinking.

Coral Palace bowed slightly, bit her teeth, and spoke with a blasphemous tone: "...I sense that Kaigi-no-Ohmiya is ready to die."

"...Since I came to Fuchigami, I have also learned about the Inazuma region."

"This area is ruled by a god named Narukami. Although Kaigi-Ohmikami has not said anything, I can feel that Kaigi-Ohmikami does not have the confidence to defeat Narukami."

"…But Kaigi-Ohmikami still chose to go to war with Narukami at this time, without even a little preparation. I knew Kaigi-Ohmikami was determined to die."

Coral Palace raised her head, her stubborn eyes met Saigo's, then quickly lowered her head and continued respectfully: "... and I know you are different from Kaigi Daimikoto."

"...You actually don't care about us, the people of the abyss. The reason you protect us is only because of the great god Kaigi."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that after the Great God of Umi is gone, you will abandon us too. I'm afraid that by then, the people of the abyss who have finally lived in the sun will have to return to a place without the sun."

"...I am more afraid that the people of the abyss will be enslaved by Inazuma's Narukami, just like we were enslaved by the Son of the Sun."

After saying this, Coral Palace lowered her head and dared not say a word. She looked respectful, but her heart was still full of respect for Saigo.

However, Coral Palace broke away from her identity as a priestess and began to think about the problem from a "human" perspective, and chose an idea that was more in line with the future of the people of Kaigi Island.

Even though Coral Palace is actually a pearl, it is more like a monster than a real person.

"You are wiser and more observant than I thought, Coral Palace..."

"…Even if this is because you are too close to me and Orobas, it is also because Orobas is not good at hiding his thoughts."

"But you can sense His intentions, and even the reason why I protect the people under the abyss."

"...This alone shows that you have profound wisdom."

"So I don't want to hide it from you anymore, so I'll tell you the truth."

"...As you said, Orobas has already decided to die. He has various reasons to die. Even if I can save him, I will never be able to save someone who has decided to die."

After a pause, Xi Xiang continued in a calm tone: "...and your guess is correct. The reason why I protect the people of the abyss is not because I want to protect you, but simply because of the promise between me and Orobas."

"...I can even tell you that I can't always be here to protect you. One day I will temporarily leave."

Saigo is also the emperor in Liyue, so it is impossible for him to always protect the people of Kaigi Island in Inazuma.

Besides, Saigo didn't know when he would leave the continent of Teyvat, so he didn't plan to deceive Coral Palace and told her the truth.

After hearing Saigo's words, Coral Palace's eyes became dazed and he felt a little worried.

Although she came to this conclusion, it was ultimately just her own thought. Before verification, Coral Palace always had some expectations.

Now that he had learned everything from Saigo, he knew that Umigi-Ohmikami was determined to die, and that Takumome-Ohmikami would eventually leave. This was simply the saddest ending that Coral Palace could have imagined.

She was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

When the people under the abyss were still above the abyss, they were protected by the gods, so these oldest humans lived a happy life.

But since they came to the abyss, without the protection of the gods, their living conditions took a sharp turn for the worse.

It was not until the emergence of the Rule of Time that the lives of the people in the abyss changed. At least they defeated the deep-sea dragon lizards and obtained survival resources.

When Saigo and Oropas appeared, the people of the abyss not only overthrew the tyrant's rule, but also returned to the land of the rising sun, no longer having to suffer in the dark abyss.

Looking at the history of the people under the abyss, we can find that they can only have a happy life when they are blessed by the gods, and their lives are miserable after being abandoned by the gods.

This is why the people of the abyss have such firm faith. Even if the gods who once protected them leave, they can still continue to believe.

Because for the people in the abyss, only gods can save them.

·· ········Request flowers····· ·····

But soon, Coral Palace calmed down and became stronger and more resolute.

"Then I will give birth to a child for you, so that your bloodline can remain in the world."

"...In this way, even if you abandon us and leave one day, your bloodline will still give the people of Haiji Island a thought and a hope!"

Seeing the resolute look on Coral Palace's face, Saigo said, "If you do this, you will give up your possible happiness in the future."

"…You have no feelings for me. All you have for me is reverence for the gods and concern for the people of Umijima."

"Do you really want to give up your own happiness and choose to serve God forever?"

Coral Palace suddenly smiled gracefully and said playfully, "...I am your witch and the chief priest of this Coral Palace. I serve the gods and must remain pure."

........ 0 0

"…I am not a human being, but a pearl. I can give birth to offspring without having to mate with a man, just like the pearl in the oyster, which can naturally give birth to new life."

"I once planned to pass on the responsibility of Coral Palace from generation to generation, so that every generation of Coral Palace would be my daughter and also myself."

"...Now I am just changing my way of serving the gods as a priestess, so I have not lost my purity."

"The people of Kaigi Island call me the shrine maiden of the living god, but I know I am not a living god."

"...But if I leave you my bloodline, the Coral Palaces of the future can finally be called living gods."

Coral Palace said without any hesitation.

The so-called living gods are actually humans with the blood of gods. Therefore, such people have strong claims from birth and have jurisdiction over all believers.

Just like now, Saigo and Oropas are on the throne of gods, and Coral Palace is the real ruler of Kaigi Island as a human world.

"When I first met you, I thought you were very smart. Now I see that I was right. You have a wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people."

Saigo praised the Coral Palace.

This shrine maiden's idea is almost the best way for the people of Umijima.

These people from the abyss of Haigi Island cannot live without faith, so the Coral Palace must retain the blood of God, so that the future Coral Palace can become a true living god priestess and accept the faith of Haigi Island on behalf of the gods.

Only in this way can the people of Haiji Island unite as one and work together.

As a ruler's wisdom, Coral Palace is qualified to die.

Chapter 53 This will be a lifetime shame for Lei Dianying

The Inazuma region consists of five large islands and countless small islands.

However, except for Narukami Island, the other major islands are difficult to develop for various reasons. Therefore, the political, cultural, and economic center of the entire Inazuma is only within the scope of Narukami Island.

Until the great snake Oropus created the large island of Umi using his own life, Inazuma has had six islands since then.

On the island of Kaigi, the army composed of the former people of the abyss is ready to go.

Simple wooden boats are densely packed on the shore.

Every soldier on Kaigi Island was wearing rather shabby clothes, and even their weapons did not have uniform standards.

But even so, the soldiers of Kaigi Island were full of energy, dignified and in high spirits.

When it comes to faith, whether it is Inazuma or Liyue, there is probably no one who is more devout in their belief in gods than the people of Kaigi Island.

The miserable lives of the people in the abyss over the past thousands of years have made them have an indescribable obsession and madness towards the "Gods".

Therefore, when Oropus issued the "800" order to attack Inazuma Narukami, every citizen of Kaigi Island gathered to respond.

Even though they had just arrived on earth and should have been farming and raising livestock to live a good life, under the command of the gods, they still joined this unjust war without hesitation.

According to Oropas's idea, he should develop on Haigi Island first, and only after the people of Haigi Island have a better foundation, he decided to launch this doomed war.

It was just the existence of Saigo that made Oropus change his mind. He trusted Saigo and believed that Saigo could definitely protect the people of Kaigi Island. Therefore, he launched this doomed battle without hesitation or any preparation.

"The people from the abyss have just come from the abyss, and they are incompatible with Inazuma culture."

"…Besides, the people of the abyss were once ancient humans, too closed-minded. They are absolutely unwilling to accept Inazuma culture and integrate themselves into Inazuma."

"This Umijima is like a nail in Inazuma's heart. Even if I don't initiate a war, one day Naruto will not be able to tolerate the existence of Umijima and will come to attack it."

"…Rather than waiting for the Narukami to attack, I will take the initiative to start the war."

During the preparations for war, Oropas said these words to Saigo.

There are powerful demons and extremely intelligent ones. It is obvious that the great snake Orobas is a demon who is not very powerful but very intelligent.

When he was in Liyue, he governed his people well and had a long-term vision in many things.

"If you want Umijima to integrate into Inazuma, the best way is to take the initiative to open up. But the people of the Abyss are unwilling to open up, so I will use war to force them to open up."

"…I am ready to die in this war. When I die, Narukami will definitely make Kaigi Island part of his rule and treat it as his own territory."

"I see that Narukami is thriving under Inazuma's rule. As long as Umijima can be integrated into it, Narukami will love the people of Umijima in the same way."

"...Besides, Coral Palace is smart. If I die in battle, she will make the most correct choice."

"I know that even if I die in battle, the people of Haiji Island will still be dissatisfied."

"…But it is enough to just outwardly obey Narukami. As long as Narukami is still around, Umijima will never be able to rebel against Narukami. In the future, they will completely integrate into Inazuma and live their own happy lives."

Before leading the army, Oropas seemed to know that this would be the last time he would meet Saigo. He spoke a lot, showing the wisdom of this giant snake.

If Orobas had not been so weak in military power, he might have been a great enemy of Morax in Liyue.

"My Lord, I know you have no interest in Inazuma, and you don't love people like us demon gods do."

"…I don't ask you to defeat the Narukami sisters and unify Inazuma with Umijima as the main island."

"I don't want to do that either. If I do that, Inazuma will be devastated. I don't want to see the people of Inazuma ruled by Narukami fall into despair in this war."

"...Since the people of Kaigi Island also believe in you, I only ask you to protect the peace of the people of Kaigi Island, allow them to integrate into the Inazuma civilization, and allow them to receive the same treatment as the Inazuma people."

Facing the plea of ​​Wu Phosphorus Snake, Saigo nodded and said: "...Since I have made an agreement with you, I must keep my promise."

"…Although I am not a God of Contract like Morax, I also value contracts, which is why I admire Morax."

Upon hearing this, Oropus laughed and said, "...That's great, I'll go!"

"…If you want Umijima to merge with Inazuma, there must be sacrifices. Let me be the first to bear the brunt and become the greatest sacrifice!"

Densely packed ships sailed from the shore of Haigi Island to the islands across the strait.

Oropus summoned the many magical beasts he had conquered in this sea area, and led them and the army of Kaigi Island to the nearest island ruled by Narukami.

Although the phosphorus-free snake Orobas had the cowardly act of escaping, his will was much stronger than Saigo imagined.

He did not want to see any loss of life, but he also knew the importance of necessary sacrifices, so he led the soldiers of Kaigi Island to launch this war.
