In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

He knew about the war between the demons and gods.

More than two thousand years ago.

Manipulated by the laws of nature, the gods launched a bloody struggle to vie for the title of the seven rulers of the mortal world.

At that time, the entire continent of Teyvat was engulfed in war. Even the most stable Mondstadt experienced the war in which Barbatos led his people to resist the Storm Lord.

The victor in the desert region is the Red King.

However, the Red King was unwilling to accept the rewards from Sky Island and ultimately chose to share the power to rule Sumeru with his friend, the Flower Goddess Tree King.

The above is the general history of the Demon God War that Rhode knew.

In his impression.

The losers in the war between demon gods were either killed or suppressed; there is no record of a demon god submitting to another.

Even the most cowardly serpent, Orobas, did not submit but instead fled to Inazuma. The weakest salt goddess, Heureia, also chose to avoid battle and did not submit to Morax.

In Rhodes' opinion.

Demons are inherently arrogant.

Even if one is powerless to resist another powerful demon god, one will not choose the path of submission.

What exactly is going on in Sumeru?!

"Um, do you know the name of the Crimson King?"

Regarding Naxida's question.

Rhodes shook his head.

He only knew about the Lord of the Great Crimson Sand Sea; he really didn't know anything else.

then.

Then Naxida began her little history lecture.

"The Red King has many titles."

"The first is the King of the Four Directions of the Earth. This is a high praise for the Red King's absolute martial prowess. Whether it is a demon god or a mortal, no one has any objection to him being the King of the Four Directions of the Earth."

"The second is the offspring lost from the sky, referring to his supreme bloodline that surpasses all demons and gods."

"Thirdly, he was the conqueror of all demons. During the war between demons, those who did not obey either submitted or died. The overwhelming resentment of the demons who died at his hands once stained the sky and earth of Mount Sumeru blood red."

"The fourth is the leader of the wise men, referring to the seven wise men who submit to him."

"The fifth is the Lord of the Sand Dunes and Oases, meaning the King of the Great Red Sand Sea and the Lord of the Eternal Oasis, referring to the Red King's great achievements in ruling the Great Red Sand Sea and the Eternal Oasis."

"After this."

"And the guide of the living and the dead, the manipulator of the elements, the king of the blazing sun and the yellow sand, the god of war and authority."

"as well as."

"God of Wisdom".

Hear this.

Rod couldn't help but frown.

The titles mentioned earlier are easy to understand; they mostly praise the Red King's power.

What the heck is this god of wisdom?

Isn't the god of wisdom the god of grass? How come the Red King is also the god of wisdom?

I knew you'd ask that.

Nasita patiently explained, “In the era of the triad, the Great Tree King, the Flower Goddess Nabu Marikata, and the Red King Ahmar shared the title of God of Wisdom.”

"in other words."

"All three of them are gods of wisdom."

Rod listened attentively.

These are things he doesn't know.

how to say.

Rhodes knew that the Red King was very strong, and he also knew that the Red King was the Grass God who won the Demon God War and gained Sky Island's recognition.

But he really hadn't thought of that.

The Red King is incredibly strong.

It has both impressive combat records and advanced technology.

If it weren't for playing with fire and insisting on studying forbidden knowledge, Sumeru probably wouldn't be in such a state of decline now.

"Wait, that's not right."

“I asked Seno back then, and he said that after I obtained the power of Hermanubis, I could be considered a true messenger of the Red King.”

"This power of Hermanubis isn't the power of the Red King, surely he knows that?"

Rhodes thought of another bug.

He remembered it clearly.

Seno himself admitted that having obtained the power of Hermanubis, he was equivalent to a follower of the Red King, that is, the Red King's divine messenger.

How do you explain this?

About this question.

Nasita said, both amused and exasperated, "Hemanubis himself was the Red King's messenger. You inherited his power, so is there anything wrong with calling yourself the Red King's messenger?"

"Uh"

Rhodes' expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.

He was so focused on the fact that the power of Hermanubis he inherited was not the power of the Red King that he didn't really think about anything else.

However, this matter is different for Rhodes.

This is truly fantastic news.

Since he didn't inherit the power of the Red King, Apep, in his manic state, wouldn't be able to dance around in the minefield as much, at least his safety would be much more guaranteed.

"what?"

at this time.

Nasita paused, then put her right hand to her ear and nodded earnestly in the green light, occasionally letting out a soft "hmm".

Once the light in her hand disappeared, she said to Rhodes, "The Lannaros have found the mushroom beast you described!"

It is not too late.

Upon learning the news, Rhodes immediately set off with Nasita in the direction Lannaros had indicated.

On the way

Narcida then told Rhodes another story.

It is also about the history of the Red King.

That was the seventh sage under the Red King.

His real name is Ahmed Apep.

A dragon who was given the flesh and blood of the Red King but never felt that he was one of the Seven Sages.

This is a historical record that Naxi Da found on the World Tree.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 191. Chapter 182 Humans, you stay!

Chapter 182 Human, you stay!

Theoretically speaking.

Appepp may not be willing to acknowledge this past.

But she was indeed one of the Seven Sages of the Red King.

This event was recorded as a major historical event by the people of the Red King.

However, the people of the Red King did not have any kind words for this former one of the Seven Sages.

In their view.

Apep, who received the flesh and blood of the Red King, should be grateful and kneel in worship for the Red King's favor, and should be willing to give his life for the Red King's kingdom.

However, Apep not only denied this, but also ignored the Red King's summons. It wasn't until the day the City of Yellow Sands collapsed that she appeared in the Red King's capital, swallowed the king's corpse whole, and then left.

This is blatant blasphemy!

Of course.

In the eyes of Rhodes and Narcida.

It's perfectly normal for Appepp to have this attitude towards the Red King.

The mighty Primordial Dragon King.

Even though she no longer possesses all the elemental powers she once had, she is still one of the most powerful people in the world.

Proud as she is.

Let alone the Crimson King, even the Rock King next door, who is over six thousand years old, is just a child in her eyes.

To be able to become one of the Seven Sages of the Red King.

It was solely because she coveted the forbidden knowledge possessed by the Crimson King; there was no other reason.

Through this incident, combined with some things he already knew, Rhodes was able to piece together a relatively clear outline of the various grudges and entanglements that occurred in the desert back then.

First and foremost, it's the familiar war between the Dragon Kings and the Heavenly Principles for control of Teyvat.

After the Dragon King Nibelungen, who returned with the power of darkness, was once again defeated by the laws of nature and perished completely, some of the remaining Dragon Kings fought to the death, some chose to submit, and some chose to flee because of their injuries. Apep, however, did not give up resisting the laws of nature and kept searching for forbidden knowledge that she could use on the edge of the world that was about to break apart.
