Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

She was just unhappy about the current situation where she had almost no choice.

Raiden Shin looked at Xixiang with her sharp eyes. She smiled softly and said, "...Why does the Great God want me to marry you? There must be a reason, right?"

Saigo remained calm as he continued to savor the dessert on his plate while Coral Palace poured tea and water for him.

"I might as well tell you the truth about some things. Although I am the great god worshipped by Haigi Island, I am not a demon god."

The Narukami sisters will eventually find out about this, so it’s better to tell them straight out.

Besides, the so-called demon god identity is not a noble honor for Saigo.

Raiden Zhen and Lei Dian Dian were slightly surprised, while Ying put a hand on his chin, frowned beautifully, and said thoughtfully: "...No wonder I always felt something was wrong."

"…If you are not a demon god, then everything makes sense."

"What you are manipulating is not any of the seven elements' power, but a power I have never seen before."

Lei Dianying was not making excuses for himself. If he lost, he lost. No matter whether the opponent was a demon or something else, the result of his defeat would not change.

Even from the perspective of the continent of Teyvat, it was even more shameful for her, the God of Light, to be defeated by a non-demon god.

Although Raiden Zhen was slightly surprised that Saigo was not a demon god, the continent of Teyvat is so large that there are always many mysteries.

Even General Lei Dian is unaware of many of the world's secrets, and knows only a little about ancient history.

She did not ask any unnecessary questions. Regardless of whether Xixiang was from Sky Island or from the Abyss, he now had the advantage in strength, and capturing the sisters was the result and the key point.

The priestesses of the Coral Palace don't even have the concept of the devil. To these priestesses and the people of Umigi Island, Saigo is the great god they believe in.

As for whether Saigo is a demon or something else, they don't care at all.

"Although I am not a demon god, I am also the god worshipped by Haigi Island. I was entrusted by Oropus to protect the people of Haigi Island."

Saigo's words made Coral Palace and the sisters Mingyun lower their heads with moved eyes.

"Now, Inazuma and Kaigi Island together form a total of six islands. However, Kaigi Island is ultimately just a creation created by Orobas using the power of the demon god and some creatures from the Dark Sea."

"...Compared to the other five naturally generated islands of Inazuma, the land here is barren and the resources are scarce."

"Since they believe in me, as their god, I should find more living space and resources for the people of Haiji Island."

Saigo (ciff) spoke slowly while drinking the fragrant tea in the cup.

Lei Dianzhen nodded silently in agreement.

Yi put herself in their shoes and thought that if the people of the shogunate lived on a barren island, as a general she should also find a new living environment for them.

If the land of survival is occupied by others, the only thing we can do is war.

Perhaps in the eyes of the enemy this war is an unjust war and an act of aggression by the invaders.

But for the party that started the war, it is a fight for survival.

Back then, Mingshen was not under the rule of the sisters, and the island was also seized by them.

"But I'm not a cruel and murderous person. The population of Kaigi Island is sparse. If I want to completely conquer the shogunate and make the people there convinced, then iron and blood are the only means."

"…I am confident that I can let the people of Umijima rule the entire Inazuma, but I don't know how many people will die in the process."

Saigo's words made Lei Dianzhen purse her red lips.

This is what worries her the most.

Even though Saigo was powerful and able to suppress the shogunate with martial arts, he could even change the entire shogunate's thinking a few decades later.

But that will take decades after all. How many people will die under this cruel rule during these decades?

In the eyes of the shogunate, Saigo was an absolute invader, and General Raiden governed the shogunate very well, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the lower classes did not want to revolt because they could not survive.

This makes Saigo's forceful rule unjustified. Some people will obey him, but there will definitely be some people who will resist him.

And in this resistance, there is bloodshed and sacrifice.

"I don't like killing, but I also want to find a way forward for the people of Haiji Island who believe in me."

"...After much thought, apart from iron and blood, the only way to solve the current predicament is through marriage."

"At first, I thought Miss Ying was heroic, tough, and superbly skilled in martial arts, and she was stunningly beautiful. I wanted to propose to her so that Umijima and Narukamijima could be united for a thousand years."

"…But when I found out that Miss Ying was just a shadow warrior of General Raiden, I knew that her identity would cause many inconveniences."

"After meeting Miss Zhen, I was even more impressed by her elegance and gentleness, and I was also fascinated by your noble willingness to sacrifice for your people."

"...Compared to Ying, Miss Zhen, you, the real thunder general, are the most suitable for marriage."

"If Miss Zhen is willing, by signing this engagement, we can stop the war and put an end to it!"

Saigo said this in a very literary way, giving Lei Dianzhen a lot of face, as if he admired Lei Dianzhen and that was the reason he made such a choice.

Lei Dianzhen looked solemn, bent his waist, and said with great respect: "...Mr. Zaratul is very righteous and compassionate. He is dedicated to his wife and people. I am deeply grateful to him!"

As he said this, Lei Dianzhen looked at Lei Dianying with a faint smile, his expression quite teasing.

Ying remained silent and looked very dull.

What Saigo said before was simply that he had been attracted by Lei’s movies before, but after meeting his sister, Saigo felt that his sister was no match for his younger sister and that his older sister was still better.

This made Ying feel a little depressed, but when she thought that the person who was defeated was her sister, Ying's mind became even more complicated.

Chapter 72 Wedding Date

"Mr. Zaratul is compassionate and willing to turn hostility into friendship. Of course I am willing to do so."

"…But even if I marry Mr. Yu, it will still be difficult to solve the problem."

"Wars must have winners and losers, so what should we do?"

Raiden Zhen was already tempted by Saigo~'s proposal.

The great god in front of him was gentle and polite. He did not want to start another war, but hoped that there would be peace between Umijima and Narukamijima.

Of course Lei Dianzhen was willing, even if he required her to marry him.

Although it was their first meeting, Lei Dian Zhen had a good impression of this great god Gao Tian.

Even though he possesses absolute military power, he is willing to make such a choice for the sake of Inazuma and the people. How can Raiden not be grateful?

Considering the opponent's strength, and now that she and her sister are captives, she can do nothing even if the Great God forces her.

However, he was willing to give up his autocratic rule for the sake of people's lives, and was even willing to rule Inazuma with him. Just this kind of mind made Lei Dian really admire him.

But Lei Dianzhen was also worried about one thing, and that was the rules of the Demon War.

After hearing what Raiden Shin said and understanding the concerns of the Ming Shen, Saigo laughed and said, "...It seems that Miss Shin didn't listen to what I said before."

"...I've said before that I'm not a demon god. Since I'm not a demon god, why should I follow those so-called rules?"

"Besides, even if it is the order of the day, what can it do to me?"

"...Now I will explain myself more clearly. Bayun Island was split into two during the battle between me and Miss Ying."

"But the island still has enough fertile land to feed the people of Haigi Island."

"…Therefore, it would be enough if the Inazuma shogunate announced that Umijima still had its own autonomy and could keep its faith, and gave Yabujima to the people of Umijima as a habitat."

"Murakami Island is very far away from Yakumo Island. Yakumo Island is located far west of Inazuma and is difficult to develop."

"…But Haiji Island and Yayun Island are separated by only a narrow sea area, which is more suitable for reclamation."

After a pause, Saigo continued, "...Besides, if we marry, there will be no opposition from the shogunate or the people to handing over Yayun Island to the Kaigi people for management."

"…After all, we were already a family by then."

"The shogunate can also publicize that it was me who proposed to you, which can preserve your dignity as a god."

"…There are many intermarriages between the great human families, and mortals have long been accustomed to this, so the intermarriage between Narukami Island and Umi Island should be easily accepted by the people of the shogunate."

Saigo's words made Lei Dianzhen's cheeks turn red and he felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, she listened to Saigo's words very carefully, but for a moment she forgot that Saigo was not a demon god, which led to her making that slip of the tongue.

Just as Saigo said, he is not a demon god, so why should he follow the rules of the demon god war?

Lei Dianzhen's eyes were gentle, she lowered her head slightly, and said shyly:

"…The Great God is so considerate of me. If I continue to act willfully, I will be ignorant of good and bad, and I will also be disregarding the people of Inazuma and want to push them into the fire pit."

"As for protecting my reputation, there is no need for that. Now what happened to Inazuma will be recorded truthfully. If there are complaints from the people, I will bear the responsibility alone."

"...I will also work hard to maintain the peace and stability between Narukami and Kaigi, and work together to develop Inazuma!"

Lei Dianzhen said with a firm look in his eyes, he didn't mind his reputation being damaged.

She didn't care even if people said that she had to marry a foreign princess because she lost the war, or even had to cede land and pay compensation, such as giving Bayun Island to the Haiqi people.

As long as peace can come, she doesn't mind abandoning all these reputations.

Saigo could sense the determination in Raiden's heart, and he sighed, "...I just hope the people of the shogunate can understand your difficulties."

"...You are only doing this to avoid bloodshed and war."

"You made this choice only for the sake of Inazuma's stability and to prevent more innocent people from dying in the war."

Raiden Zhen shook her head slightly and smiled gently, "...I am not trying to give in. Instead, I admire the Great God more and more."

"...The Great God is not willing to marry me because of my humble appearance. That means Raiden is really out of his league."

Lei Dianzhen didn't expect that this trip to Haigi Island would be completely different from what he had imagined.

She had come with the determination to die, hoping only to keep Inazuma as stable as possible and to buy peace with her own life.

She was prepared for the two sisters to die on Umijima.

Who knew the result would be such a surprise.

This great god of the sky is not a warmongerer, nor is he willing to see war, and he doesn't even care about ruling power.

·· ········Request flowers····· ·····

The two sisters were able to survive, the Inazuma War ended, and peace finally came. Is there any better ending than this?

This was completely beyond Lei Dianzhen's expectations. It was a scene that she had never imagined or dared to think of among her many plans.

As for marrying this god, Lei Dian really didn't care.

It was the first time they met, so it was impossible for her to have any love for Saigo.

But just as Lei Dianzhen said, she did have some feelings and admiration for Saigo, and was willing to spend the next tens of millions of years of her life with him, until eternity.

This great god of the sky is gentle and has great martial arts skills, and Lei Dianzhen also admires him.

The union of demons and mortals is possible, and the union of two demons is even more reasonable. Moreover, intermarriages between wealthy and powerful families are common.

........ . ...

The marriage between the two rulers is reasonable.

And Saigo's next words even made Lei Dian impatient and he wanted to marry Saigo on the spot.

"My dear Miss Zhizhen and Miss Ying, you sisters have been worrying about how to evade the rules of the Demon God War."

“…I don’t know if you have come up with any solution though.”

"But as long as you sign a contract with me, you will be able to escape the constraints of the Heavenly Order. At that time, although you will be in power as Inazuma, you will also be the Kage."

"...This way everyone will be happy, and the Inazuma War can be completely over."

"Oh, there are eight people in the Seven Rulings of the Earthly World. This is common sense, right?"

Saigo chuckled with a smile in his tone.

Although Lei Dianzhen did not understand the jokes in Saigo's words, he did not understand why it was common sense that the seven rulers of the mortal world were eight people.

But Saigo's words undoubtedly made her extremely excited, and she couldn't help but stand up.

There are two things that Raiden has always been worried about: one is the peace of Inazuma, and the other is his identity as the winner of the war with his sister.

But if the first thing is not resolved, there is no way to talk about the second thing.

Now that the trip to Haiji had solved both problems, Lei Dian was almost overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of happiness.

As for whether Saigo was deceiving her, Lei Dian really felt that it was unnecessary.

With Saigo's military strength, there was no need for him to go to the trouble of deceiving her. Even if he forced her with force, how could she resist?

Having come to this point, the next thing to discuss is the wedding date.
