Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

The three men had sallow complexions, dark hair, and gloomy eyes, emanating an ominous aura.

Su Zhe knew very well that they were not human, but 'evil spirits'.

The resentment of demons can manifest all sorts of evil spirits based on the will of the living. These evil spirits have no fixed form and are highly characteristic of the local area.

For example, in the country of Inazuma, far away on the other side of the ocean, evil spirits formed by this filthy power mostly appear in the form of warriors.

At this moment, all three villagers were actually people that Shen He's father knew.

As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards Su Zhe, attempting to stop him.

"Go away!"

Su Zhe cursed angrily and threw a punch.

His physique was not strengthened, and he was just like an ordinary person after entering this dream. But this was not a reason for him to back down. Perhaps his spirit was also corrupted by the power of the demon god's resentment.

Or perhaps, he simply wanted to vent.

By fighting, he could vent the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart since his transmigration. The events that happened in Shen He's dream became the catalyst that ignited all of this. If Su Zhe were human, he would probably have been controlled by the demon god's resentment long ago.

Unfortunately, he is now a demon god.

Although he is still weak, in essence, his existence is more powerful than the dead demon god's true form.

Therefore, although Su Zhe seemed to have lost his mind and was fighting like a madman, he also retained a sense of clarity until he defeated the three villagers who were actually evil spirits. Su Zhe's body crashed into the man, and the two of them rolled on the ground together.

The little girl fell down, clutching her neck and coughing heavily, her expression extremely anxious.

She mustered her courage to look over, and saw the 'big brother' who had struggled to his feet from the ground, forcing an awkward smile, speaking in a gentle voice:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Chapter 22 Awakening

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

The little girl stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

She didn't know the other person, but for some reason, hearing those words gave her a sense of peace.

Compared to her father who wanted to kill her, there was a sense of familiarity about this stranger.

Familiar...emotional resonance.

In an instant, many images flooded her mind. Some were unfamiliar, while others showed her being taken out of the village by her father, going up the mountain, and into a dark cave.

There were no immortals in the cave, only terrifying monsters.

She was terrified and, wanting to survive, could only instinctively fight.

She kept killing and killing; she wanted to live, she didn't want to die.

"me..."

The little girl covered her head and shook her head vigorously.

"Don't worry, don't think about anything, I'm here with you."

Su Zhe said gently.

"Who are you?"

The little girl stared blankly at Su Zhe.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Shen He!"

At the same time, space distorted, and the scene before him became blurry. When Su Zhe came to his senses again, he immediately felt that something had changed.

Approaching from a distance was a middle-aged woman dressed in simple clothes.

Su Zhe looked at her, and then realized that the man had disappeared.

The little girl saw her and her face lit up with excitement: "Mommy!"

"Shen He, what are you doing here?"

The woman walked towards her with a smile.

"You're still wandering around so late. Your father is going crazy looking for you."

"Daddy?"

The little girl looked around and found that everyone was gone. There was no sign of her father or the older boy. Then, the memory of what had just happened slowly faded, and she stood there blankly.

"Father...he seemed to be here just now, and he seemed to be trying to kill me...no, no."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your father has been looking for you all over the village."

"Yeah?"

"Of course it is. Your father loves you so much, how could he possibly want to kill you? Are you out of your mind? Come back with me now."

The woman grabbed the little girl's hand and then walked towards the village.

Su Zhe quickly reached out, only to find that his arm passed through the little girl's body, making it impossible for him to touch her.

"Shen He!"

He shouted.

The little girl turned around, and she seemed to vaguely hear someone calling her.

"Mother, it sounds like someone is calling me."

"There's no one here. Don't talk nonsense. It's not safe to be out at night. Come back with me now."

Seeing the two people walk into the village, Su Zhe stood there somewhat bewildered.

what happened?

Was everything just an illusion?

"No, it's the 'dream' that has changed."

After venting his anger, Su Zhe calmed down.

Everything in a dream reflects what has corrupted the heart. The power of a demon's resentment can alter details, but it cannot create something from nothing.

Because when everything is unfamiliar, it's like creating a dream to influence the other person. A demon god might be able to do that, but a dead demon god certainly couldn't.

It must be that the will hidden here was influenced by him, and thus had to change what had happened before.

Therefore, to rescue Shen He, we must decipher the dream we are currently in.

After pondering for a moment, Su Zhe couldn't find a solution, so he could only follow them into the village.

Because his will rejected his existence, no one could see him.

It's like being a transparent person.

But Su Zhe knew that this situation couldn't continue indefinitely.

Although Shen He has her own inner conflicts, she possesses great strength and is protected by immortal techniques, so she may wake up on her own at any time and escape the dream.

Therefore, the demon god's resentment will definitely choose to take action at a certain point.

That time was also the time when Su Zhe took action.

Until then, all you need to do is wait.

Su Zhe silently followed the little girl to prevent any accidents from happening.

Chapter 22 Awakening >>

As the days passed, Su Zhe transformed from a lonely sea monster into a lonely, invisible man, always staying by the little girl's side.

Fortunately, he has gotten used to this kind of loneliness.

Finally, history is repeating itself, and a familiar scene unfolds.

As the little girl's mother's health gradually deteriorated until she fell ill and died, her father, convinced that it was all the little girl's fault, took her away from the village.

This time, Su Zhe did not stop her. The little girl was taken into the cave, and as expected, the demon god's resentment reappeared.

Although Shen He was brought here when she was a child, she was not killed.

Therefore, the will formed from the demon god's resentment needs to kill Shen He in the dream in order to completely control her.

However, killing Shen He directly would be risky.

A strong will to survive can awaken a person's dormant consciousness, especially for a 'cultivator' like Shen He. If it weren't for her extraordinary experiences, this incomplete power of the demon god wouldn't even have been able to drag her into her dream.

So the best way is to first break his mind, but unfortunately Su Zhe blocked this path. With him there, the demon god's resentment can't do anything to Shen He.

Ultimately, this demonic resentment is just a broken relic. If Shen He rushes into the very center of the seal, then Su Zhe will be powerless to do anything about it.

But at the end of the dream, the power of the demon god coalesced into a dark and malevolent entity, which attacked the little girl.

These evil spirits were all clumps of black objects without a solid form, surrounding the little girl like ghosts.

She stood helplessly in the cave, instinctively calling for help, her eyes brimming with tears as she cried out "Father!" But the person she longed for never appeared.

But then Su Zhe appeared.

When the demon's resentment affected this place, he was already able to participate using his own power.

"Get the hell out of my way!"

Su Zhe charged in from outside the cave, waving his fists to drive back the evil spirits.

"Big brother!"

The little girl shouted.

When she saw Su Zhe, a series of memories suddenly flooded her mind; he was the older brother who had been with her in the village all this time.

She remembered, strangely, that memory seemed to have come just a second ago, yet it was also somewhat ethereal and unreal.

But Su Zhe's appearance did give her hope.

Despite Shen He's special physique, possessing the power to fight evil spirits at a young age, the damage from this experience was not physical, but psychological. Even if he had successfully killed the evil spirits back then, he might not have been able to succeed if he went through it again.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

Su Zhe shielded her behind him and said softly.
