Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

I will protect you.

I'll come... to protect you.

The little girl looked dazed.

"But Father... Father doesn't want me anymore."

"So he regretted it."

"Father said that I killed Mother."

He's wrong.

"They say I'm a jinx."

"That's just the impotent rage of the weak."

"me..."

The little girl suddenly squatted down and burst into tears.

She cried very hard, but not out of fear. It was more like an emotional release, letting out the loneliness that had been suppressed and accumulated in her heart for a long time.

She kept crying and crying, her cries were heartbreaking.

A strong wind suddenly blew up inside the cave.

Black energy surged forth, transforming into a tangible demonic entity.

There were black wolves, ferocious Hilichurls, and a dark shadow floating above the monsters, staring at Su Zhe with malevolent eyes.

"It's all your fault! You ruined my plans!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The shadowy figure roared, and the horde of monsters surged forth.

Su Zhe clenched his fist and took a step forward, but was pulled back by a hand.

"I'll do it."

Shen He, who had somehow transformed into an adult, emerged from behind him.

Her white hair was like snow, and her temperament was like that of an immortal!

...

Chapter 23 We are Friends

At this moment, Shen He has grown up and returned to his original appearance.

She stood beside Su Zhe, her beautiful eyes misty, as if she had just emerged from a period of sadness.

But his expression was exceptionally firm.

It was as if they had been reborn.

Her heart once again went through all the past events, and those memories she didn't want to recall reappeared at this moment, but this time she was no longer alone, no longer by herself.

When everything in the dream becomes clear and distinct, Shen He casts aside his timidity and chooses to pick up a weapon to protect those around him.

Perhaps this is what her master had always told her about—the kind of heart that wants to protect.

If you can't learn to protect, you'll never be able to convince yourself to integrate into Liyue.

"I'll do it." She looked at Su Zhe. "Thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome..."

Su Zhe was slightly taken aback, and then Shen He rushed out in an instant.

A biting icy wind swept out, filling the entire cave. Shen He wielded his spear, slaying all the demons one by one.

Her face was cold and aloof, and her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, but Su Zhe could sense a flame burning within her heart. This flame melted away the long-standing ice and transformed into shimmering, fluorescent light that drifted through the air.

Looking at the figure bathed in fluorescent light, Su Zhe thought of a word: transformation.

After experiencing mental and emotional hardships, Shen He underwent a transformative personal growth.

Those who cultivate immortality should cultivate their minds; if their minds do not reach a higher level, their achievements will eventually come to an end.

Su Zhe didn't know much about these things, but he could tell that Shen He was growing at an incomprehensible pace.

She was born a 'chosen one' with exceptional talent and aptitude, and it would be difficult for her not to become powerful under the tutelage of the immortals.

The immortals could teach her skills, but they couldn't untangle her inner knot. This knot was the tribulation in Shen He's growth process. Only by overcoming it could Shen He go further.

At this moment, Shen He continued to fight, slaying those evil spirits and also clearing away the troubles and confusion in his heart.

The demonic resentment that was trying to corrupt her roared and rushed over madly, but the result was still as expected.

Once all the evil spirits were killed, the constructed dream space began to collapse.

Shen He stood quietly in place, watching everything, imprinting the final scene in his mind.

Resentment? Obsession? Relief?

In an instant, everything was there, yet nothing remained, leaving only a soft sigh in the end.

She stopped running away and bravely faced this memory that belonged to her.

After a while, Shen He turned around and looked at Su Zhe.

"Can you tell me... your name?"

Su Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Su Zhe... you can also call me Georka."

Shen He pondered for a moment but did not inquire about the meaning of the two names.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Can we...be friends? Human friends...I don't quite understand, but I don't want to forget you."

"of course can."

Su Zhe smiled.

"From now on, we are friends."

Finally, upon hearing these words, a slight smile appeared on Shen He's cold and beautiful face.

...

Swish!

When his consciousness returned to his body, Su Zhe only heard a loud bang.

He remained in the motion of rushing out, his massive body sweeping up water and crashing to the ground. Fortunately, he didn't bounce around like a fish out of water. He steadied himself and turned to look at Shen He.

The black energy emanating from the girl had vanished, replaced by a swirling mist of ice. As the mist spread, her exquisite white hair danced in the air, making her appear stunningly beautiful in the dark, sealed space.

"People are definitely more attractive."

Although Su Zhe has become a demon god, his aesthetic sense is still limited to that of humans.

Chapter 23 We are Friends >>

At least he wouldn't find those big monsters with eight tentacles very appealing.

Unfortunately, we don't know when he will be able to transform back into human form.

The way he appeared in the dream was how he looked in his previous life.

If he could transform into human form, he would probably still choose to continue being Su Zhe.

Thinking this, Shen He slowly opened his eyes.

"Kyokka?"

A light, melodious voice came from her mouth.

Shen He turned his gaze to the little whale beside him, and the two stared at each other for a moment.

Shen He was certain that the mutated whale beside her was Kyogre, the creature that had saved her in her dream.

At the same time, they also realized the meaning of those two names.

The human form is Su Zhe.

The body of the demon god is Kyogre.

Su Zhe didn't speak, even though he couldn't say anything. At this moment, he controlled the water flow and sent a red rope to Shen He.

This red rope is no ordinary object; it remained intact even after being struck by tremendous force. Su Zhe had simply retrieved it to make it easier to return it to Shen He.

He knew the purpose of the red rope. Although Shen He had overcome his inner turmoil, his destiny was such that he was too bloodthirsty, and he needed the red rope to suppress his murderous desires.

"Thank you."

After being freed from the red rope, Shen He's personality became even more distinct.

The red rope can suppress killing, but it also inhibits her humanity and suppresses the expression of emotions, which makes Shen He seem like a puppet lacking emotions and desires.

After tying the red string on, Shen He reverted to his initial aloof demeanor.

However, a subtle tenderness remained deep within his gaze as he looked at Su Zhe.

She still remembered that the little whale that seemed to be a demon was her friend.

The word "friend" is especially precious to her.

Whether it's a person or not, she accepts it, and that's enough.

"Let's go, and repair the seal as soon as possible while the influence of the resentment is decreasing."

The power of the demon god's resentment was scattered and could not be reassembled in a short time, so it could no longer affect them.

Shen He jumped back onto Su Zhe's back, and the latter carried her forward. Before long, they saw the location of the broken seal.

The demonic aura emanating from here is even stronger, and one can faintly hear the frantic roars and howls of giant beasts, as well as heavy crashes, as if something terrifying inside is trying to escape.

Shen He was prepared. She took out several talismans from her bosom. These were powerful talismans made by immortals.

With a flick of his wrist, the talisman emitted a dazzling light. Shen He threw it at the crack in the seal, and with the release of powerful immortal energy, the golden array patterns were redrawn, repairing the broken parts and re-engraving the faded areas.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~

The sealed space was trembling.

The damaged will inside seemed to have sensed this and began to frantically attack the seal.
