Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

The seemingly weak and delicate Shenhe grabbed its tentacles and then used incomprehensible superhuman strength to drag it out of the seabed.

As expected of a disciple of the immortals, the storyline in the game is already quite impressive, and it's even more so here.

At this moment.

Under the combined attack of Shenhe and Beidou, the giant squid finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke through the ice to escape to the seabed.

However, it didn't know that Su Zhe had been waiting for this moment.

Given the giant squid's speed, once it enters the water and tries to escape at full speed, even if Shenhe could completely overpower it in terms of raw strength, it would be difficult for him to catch up.

As the giant squid plunged back into the sea, Su Zhe controlled his body and surged upwards. Accompanied by a mysterious power, this strike was far more powerful than an ordinary impact!

—A selfless charge.

Like the ripples in water, this is a skill that Su Zhe himself mastered.

However, due to the short time he had been able to comprehend it and the potential for self-harm, Su Zhe had never used it.

But the power of this attack is no less than that of the Water Wave.

At this moment, it crashed out, and relying on the iron-hard nature of this clone, it actually managed to knock the giant squid back out of the sea!

Giant Squid: Damn it!

"Huh!?"

Beidou was startled. She was just about to give chase when she didn't expect the other party to come up on its own.

Shen He remained calm, and rushed over the moment the giant squid was thrown out.

Da da da da.

With each step taken, a layer of ice appears to support the foot that lands.

Finally, he leaped up suddenly, and the surging elemental power gathered on the spear, instantly piercing through the giant squid's body!

Hiss~~

Blood, splattered across the sky!

"Now!"

The moment the giant squid's carcass fell into the sea, Su Zhe immediately rushed out, grabbed it, and then sped away into the distance without looking back.

As a result, he had not swum a short distance when he heard a cold voice in his ear.

"Frost, freezing."

Chapter 17 Ningguang: First Show Goodwill, Then Subdue

Su Zhe was surprised that Shen He, after killing the giant squid with a single blow, still had the strength to deal with him.

He has been lurking in the vicinity these past few days, and Ningguang and the others have not made a move.

This led him to subconsciously believe that the two sides had established a preliminary 'cooperative' relationship.

Of course, since it was Shen He, Su Zhe couldn't be sure whether this was a pre-arranged plan or Shen He's own impromptu idea.

Because that's just how Shinhak is by nature.

She was destined for loneliness and was naturally bloodthirsty. If it weren't for the red rope given to her by True Lord Liuyun to suppress her, she would probably have become a 'white-haired witch' instead of a 'white-haired immortal' long ago.

Without a doubt, Shenhe's frost-freezing power is extremely strong.

The biting cold transformed into divine power that erupted on the sea surface, freezing his departing body and the surrounding seawater.

Su Zhe tried to struggle, but found that the force was too strong and he could not break free in a short time.

After unleashing his frost power, Shen He immediately charged forward with his gun.

A glint of cold light shot out; this strike was absolutely capable of piercing through the ice layers along with Su Zhe's body!

"not good!"

Su Zhe's heart tightened.

At the critical moment, a massive amount of rock-elemental power suddenly gathered and formed a golden rock wall in front of him.

boom!

Shen He's spear pierced the rock wall, unleashing a deafening roar.

The force of the explosion shattered the ice, freeing Su Zhe, who rushed away without hesitation.

In the instant he submerged, he glanced back and saw the tall, silver-haired figure standing there.

The light of the heavens is condensed!

"Stop it."

Ningguang said to Shen He, who was preparing to continue the pursuit.

"It meant no harm."

"I can sense that its aura is unusual. By devouring evil spirits, it will quickly become stronger and become a threat to Liyue."

Shen He raised his head. Although he did not pursue, he did not relax his posture and was ready to make a move at any time.

"Haha! Don't worry, Shen He, that little whale saved me and others before, so it shouldn't become the evil spirit you're talking about."

Beidou sheathed his greatsword and said with a smile.

Shen He remained silent for a moment.

“A demon is a demon. My master said that I should cultivate immortality and become stronger in order to fight to protect Liyue.”

Beidou shrugged, looked at Ningguang, and said with an expression that seemed to say, 'Look, your plan is going to fail.'

She knew that Ningguang's attention was on the mutated whale since she hadn't seen Ningguang make a move.

Even she could tell that Shen He was no ordinary person.

It's not just about strength, but also personality. You wouldn't say he's fiercely opposed to evil; perhaps he's just a straightforward person who doesn't understand social niceties.

She could tell; Ningguang, as Liyue's most famous merchant, couldn't possibly not have noticed.

That's why Ningguang didn't make a move, in order to prevent what just happened from happening again.

She wanted to win over Su Zhe, so naturally she couldn't let Shen He harm the latter.

If you want to win someone over, you have to show them goodwill first.

Although humanity has emerged, Ningguang believes even more strongly that the humanity that has evolved from bestiality is the simplest and purest.

Be grateful and repay kindness.

She had heard many myths and legends about Liyue, and the matter of repaying a debt of gratitude was something to look forward to.

At this moment, Ningguang looked at Shen He and said softly, "Demons should naturally be killed, but what is a demon? Those who are dark and harmful to living beings are evil and wicked, but should those who redeem and save others, who act because they are burdened with karma, be demons?"

Shen He shook his head.

The classification of evil spirits cannot be determined so simply.

Putting aside everything else, the Demon-Slaying Sage who once taught her how to cultivate immortality would probably be considered a demon by the world.

But the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons is the Dharma Protector Yaksha appointed by the Emperor, so how can he be compared to an ordinary demon?

"Therefore, we cannot draw any conclusions about this matter for the time being. If it is truly evil, I will naturally not let it go. But if it is a good thing, why shouldn't it share in the credit for protecting Liyue?"

Ningguang's words eventually convinced Shenhe.

Chapter 17 Ningguang: First Show Goodwill, Then Subdue >>

She put down her gun and returned to the ship.

"Now that the giant squid is dead, we can safely salvage the contents of the sunken ship."

Beidou said with a chuckle.

"I discovered before that besides those things, there are quite a few other treasures."

To put it simply, classifying Beidou as a 'pirate' wouldn't be unreasonable.

Although she enjoys adventure, her brothers go out to sea with her to make a living, don't they?

Ningguang's collaboration with her was to salvage the shipwreck, so naturally there was no need to give up all the treasures.

"I won't interfere with anything else, but you can't touch anything on the ship."

"Don't worry, that's your Lady Ningguang."

"Hehe~ It's not mine either."

Ningguang smiled slightly.

Beidou was taken aback, then realized: "You want to return those things to the Liu family?"

"As far as I know, the previous head of the Liu family was a collector. Although the items on the ship are precious, most of them are collectibles and not very valuable. Many of them are his personal belongings. These are useless to me, but they are of great significance to the Liu family."

Ningguang didn't continue speaking.

But without a doubt, she intended to use these things to gain the favor of the top ten richest merchants in Liyue.

This favor, in her hands, is far more valuable than the entire ship's cargo.

Shen He stood aside and waited for the two to finish their conversation before reminding them, "It's not safe down there."

"Oh? Miss Shenhe, could you elaborate?"

"There is a broken seal below, and the power of the demon god's remnants is very strong."

"A seal? Just as I thought."

Ningguang revealed a thoughtful expression.

Beidou crossed his arms: "What else do you know?"

Ningguang smiled and said, "Don't forget that I investigated this place before."

She already knew where the ruins were.

She also knew that there were some secrets hidden here, and she now understood why the giant squid had lingered here.

These sea creatures, affected by the remnants of the demon god, grow stronger by devouring the power of their own kind. The giant squid is quite powerful, yet it has remained here, clearly because it is profitable.

She looked at Shen He.
