Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

At this moment, his mental perception probed out from the seal, trying to see what he could do while under the seal.

"My strength has recovered quite a bit."

Darduck has already given him 10 billion Mora. Perhaps it is because of the Fatui's repeated setbacks in Mondstadt and Inazuma that the Prince has become very concerned about things in Liyue.

A few days ago, he sent over the remaining 5 billion in one go, and Su Zhe didn't stand on ceremony and ate it all when he had a spare moment.

Oser's body has a much stronger ability to devour than Kyogre's.

Having absorbed billions of Mora, Oser's strength has now recovered to most of its original level.

"what?"

As his mental energy spread out completely, a familiar aura suddenly appeared and then disappeared from Su Zhe's mental detection range in the blink of an eye.

"Strange, who could it be?"

The scent was familiar, as if I had known it for a long time, but I couldn't quite place it.

Seeing that the other party had not reappeared after leaving, Su Zhe had no choice but to give up the pursuit. His consciousness sank and he returned to Kyogre's body.

The moment he left, within Oser's body, the suppressed will once again began to try to break through the solid seal.

"Ausel, whether you admit it or not, I am you, and you are me..."

In the dark underground space, a gloomy atmosphere gradually began to spread.

...

at the same time.

Shortly after Su Zhe's consciousness returned to Georka's body.

On the sea outside Guyun Pavilion.

boom!!!

The seawater suddenly exploded, followed by a violent churning of the surface. The thick, serpentine body lashed out, transforming into an iron whip that slammed down hard.

On the armored ship, the two Thousand Rock soldiers, each possessing a God's Eye, simultaneously released elemental power, condensing it into a sturdy shield to block the attack head-on.

Boom! —

A loud explosion.

The area where the boats were located was blasted away by this powerful force, and the force crashed downwards, causing the seawater to surge outwards in waves hundreds of meters high!

"Hold on!! Reinforcements are coming soon!!"

"The commander of the Chiiwa army shouted loudly."

The elemental shields blocked the attack, but the entire ship was shaken below the waterline, and a large amount of seawater surged back, crashing onto the deck and washing many Thousand Rock soldiers off the ship!

Roar! !

The behemoth let out a deafening roar, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept over us.

The commander of the Thousand Rocks Army gritted his teeth, rushed forward, turned the elemental cannon, and aimed—

boom!

The shells bombarded the behemoth, but the effect was not significant; its outer skin was too strong, requiring weapons with powerful penetrating force.

But soon, from the distant sky, crossbows imbued with elemental power shot out, piercing the giant beast like a rain of arrows, causing it to retreat in pain.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the giant beast looked towards the direction of Lonely Cloud Pavilion, let out a reluctant roar, and then plunged into the water and quickly disappeared into the distance.

An hour later, news of the sighting of a giant sea monster reached the ears of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Ningguang looked serious as she looked at the report that had been presented to her.

The report clearly stated the most likely identity of the behemoth.

The lingering force of the vortex—a powerful surge!

Chapter 2: Ba Che Appears! Su Zhe vs. Mysterious Sea Beast, the Oser Statue in the Underwater Space

Just as gods have followers and subjects, so do demons.

Among the demons suppressed in the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, the renowned Vortex Demon God Oser once had many loyal followers.

"The lingering power of the vortex—Ba Che, according to records, is the last follower of Ausel. Although so many years have passed, we cannot be certain about the relationship between these powerful beings, but we absolutely cannot rule out the possibility that it came to save Ausel."

More than two thousand years have passed since Osel was suppressed.

Such a long time is enough for even a demon god to forget many things.

As for the being called Ba Che, Li Yue currently has relatively little information and cannot determine its specific identity, whether it is a demon god, possesses demon god blood, or is some other life form.

But their strength is undeniable.

Therefore, if the other party's appearance is to save Oser, it would be an absolute disaster for Liyue.

"Perhaps it was because Oser broke free of the seal last time that it attracted its attention."

In the Liyue high-level conference room, Ningguang looked at the Seven Stars and Eight Gates' capable assistants and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, this Summoning Ceremony must not go wrong. Now, formulate a defense strategy according to the plan, and we will study further countermeasures after Yuheng Star returns."

"Yes."

"Meeting adjourned."

End of the meeting.

Ningguang sat alone in the conference room, looking at the documents in her hand over and over again, and finally sighed softly.

Regarding Ba Che, there is still far too little historical information. She first needs to determine the other party's purpose. If it is just a casual visit to Liyue, then that's fine.

If there are ulterior motives, such as sabotaging Oser's or the ritual of summoning immortals, then it will be troublesome.

This is not impossible, as all sorts of bizarre things often happen at previous Immortal Invitation ceremonies.

The most serious incident was when a demon attacked the port, shouting from afar, "Morax, a thousand-year grudge xxxx," clearly indicating that they had lost the demon war and were unwilling to accept defeat, so they returned.

Although the final result is usually either being suppressed by the Emperor and given a private seat in the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, or being beaten away, with harsh words spoken but actions behaving obediently.

But if she allows this to happen, it would be a dereliction of duty for her as one of the Seven Stars.

That would not only affect the Emperor's reputation, but also make people from other countries feel that the ritual of inviting immortals is unsafe and they will not come in the future.

So, no matter what, at least do what you can do well.

"Kyogre, oh Kyogre, you'd better come back soon."

dong dong dong~

A sound came from the doorway.

"Lord Ningguang, Mr. Zhongli, a guest elder of the Rebirth Hall, has arrived and is waiting in the reception room."

"I see."

Ningguang gathered the documents in her hands and walked out of the conference room.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli. I have long admired your name and it is an honor to meet you today."

With a smile, she walked toward the young man drinking tea in the reception room.

Zhongli has quite a reputation in Liyue Harbor, and Ningguang has naturally heard of him and has even secretly investigated him extensively.

Because Zhongli knows things that many people don't, is highly capable, and has a calm personality, Ningguang was tempted many times to recruit him and use him for her own purposes.

Unfortunately, Zhongli's performance was too perfect, making it difficult for her to control him.

How terrifying would it be if someone were so perfect that they had no weaknesses?

Therefore, Ningguang was also hesitant and never officially contacted Zhongli.

This is the first time.

"Miss Ningguang is too kind."

Zhongli stood up, his expression unchanged.

"I wonder what brings you here?"

"I apologize for disturbing you, sir. This matter is of utmost importance."

If Ba Che's matter hadn't been so important, Ning Guang wouldn't have personally invited Zhong Li to meet her.

Because she knew very well that this seemingly calm and collected 'young nobleman' knew even more than those self-proclaimed erudite archaeologists.

This is very strange, and Ningguang has also sent people to investigate it.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

No one knows where Zhongli learned these things, but without a doubt, Zhongli can definitely be called a 'living history' of Liyue.

Of course, she didn't tell Zhongli about Ba Che's appearance, lest it cause unnecessary panic.

They were just trying to subtly inquire about Ba Che's information.

“Pushing..."

A look of realization flashed across Zhongli's eyes.

"How are you, sir? Do you know anything about it?"

"Know a thing or two."

Ningguang was delighted: "Really?"

“Hmm.” Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said in a gentle voice, “Legend has it that before the war between the demon gods ended, a hegemon appeared outside the Liyue Sea. He was the vortex demon god Oser.”

"That powerful demon god fought Morax for the position of Lord of Liyue. He once led the sea army to attack Liyue. In the final battle, the endless fighting turned the entire sea into hell. Oser was eventually suppressed by Morax at the bottom of Guyun Pavilion. Among his followers was Bazhe."

"She was Oser's last follower, with whom she had a close relationship, and was one of the most powerful among her many followers."

When talking about Ba Che and Ausel, a look of reminiscence flashed in Zhong Li's eyes.

It was as if this incident had stirred up a memory deep within him.

Next, Zhongli told Ningguang some information about Ba Che, including his approximate strength and weaknesses as an elemental life form.

Ningguang was shocked to hear this.

This is far from just knowing a little; isn't this practically being an expert in eight or nine tenths of a person?

But with this information, she felt more confident.
