Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Although she couldn't determine the source of the black mist, she could sense the negative and violent energy contained within it. Could this kind of thing really be 'eaten'?

boom!

Without the cover of the black mist, all the undead monsters were exposed to Su Zhe's view.

He casually strolled through the world, slapping them all to death with a single blow.

"Gurgle~"

The surrounding Coral Palace warriors were stunned.

"We...are we saved?"

Chapter 21 Secret Technique: The Head Pat! Taking the Defection to the Extreme!

After half an hour.

Xin Hai made arrangements for the wounded and then dispatched some Coral Palace warriors to guard the entrance of the Abyss Palace.

Then she walked over to Su Zhe's side.

"Lord Kyogre, what brings you here?"

Seeing Su Zhe appear, Xin Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the situation continued to deteriorate, she would have no choice but to ask Inazuma for help.

What exactly is going on here?

"I'm not quite sure either. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be this kind of black mist in Yuanxia Palace."

Xin Hai recounted the events of the past two days to Su Zhe.

Upon receiving news that something had happened at Yuanxia Palace, she immediately sent people over to investigate.

Initially, only black mist appeared; there were no immortal monsters. It wasn't until the Key of the Abyss was stolen and the Abyss Palace was fully activated that the black mist burst out, disrupting normal life on the island.

Although these mists are not as effective as the power of evil spirits, they still have a great impact on ordinary people. Many of the Coral Palace warriors stationed there have suffered severe mental erosion due to being in the black mist for a long time.

"These are the powers of the abyss."

Su Zhe was no stranger to the black mist; he had used this power when the Abyss Apostles appeared.

"The Abyss? Is it the Abyss Cult?"

"Yes, but shouldn't only your Coral Palace lineage know about the Abyss Key? How could it have been stolen?"

"I've also investigated this matter."

Xin Hai frowned and said, "Some time ago, someone broke into the Coral Palace's library. The method for the Sea God Spirit Ritual was stored in the library, and it must have been read around that time. However, the person who stole the Abyss Key obviously knows a lot about the Abyss Palace, otherwise they wouldn't know about the Spirit Ritual."

The Umi-Gi-no-Mikoto Festival is mainly used to reverse the transformation of the sacred land. This ritual is usually performed only once every few hundred years. Even within the Coral Palace lineage, very few people know about it. Under normal circumstances, how could they possibly care about it?

If the knowledge of the ritual was not derived from the understanding of the sacred land, then it is clear that the person already had some understanding of the Abyss Palace and, in turn, investigated the method to activate the Abyss Palace.

Su Zhe guessed that this matter was probably related to Yuan Shang. He had helped Yuan Shang a little last time, but Yuan Shang still showed up.

This guy had already started investigating when the traveler ventured deep into the Abyss Palace. Perhaps it was because he took away the daylight that things changed later on.

When Xin Hai sent people in to investigate, they did indeed discover signs of abyssal demons.

"According to your guess, Lord Geoka, the Abyss Order must have somehow guided the power of the Abyss into the Abyss Palace. As for those undead monsters, they were probably former citizens of the Abyss Palace. It is said that before the people of the Abyss Palace came up, they had been fighting against the deep-sea dragon lizards that lived below."

Xin Hai was also guessing, but the Abyss Palace was indeed empty before, with only the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard still moving around.

Of course, although these things were powerful, they posed no threat to Su Zhe. He knew Yuan Shang's purpose, so he planned to go in and take a look.

"Lord Kyogre, I'll go with you."

Xin Hai was worried about the danger below. With her strength, she was no match for even a stone, so she could naturally help Su Zhe.

The main thing is that there is breast milk, and having a wet nurse with you gives you peace of mind.

"Okay, but be careful."

"Ah."

Xin Hai dispatched two more swordfish squadrons to accompany them. This time, the Abyss invasion of Yuanxia Palace will definitely involve Abyss monsters. The swordfish squadrons are quite strong and can relieve some of the pressure for Su Zhe at crucial moments.

...

Yuanxia Palace.

At this moment, the empty underground space appeared incredibly eerie and silent.

Where the black mist covered, countless abyssal monsters and powerful dragon lizards roamed.

These monsters and dragon lizards have been strengthened by the power of the abyss, making them much stronger than usual.

After entering, Su Zhe led the people of Haiqi Island deeper and deeper, following the information in his memory, until they reached the giant gate that led to the entrance of Baiye Kingdom, where they found that the gate had already been opened.

However, it was still completely dark inside, with no light at all.

"Strange." Xin Hai looked around and asked in confusion, "According to the records in the ancient books, when the Yuanxia Palace is activated, the trial will also begin, and the entire Yuanxia Palace should be lit up by the Great Sun Chariot. Why is it still in darkness?"

"It's probably broken because it hasn't been used for too long."

Su Zhe shrugged; of course, he wouldn't say it was because he had taken away the daylight.

"ha..."

Xin Hai pursed her lips, not quite believing it, but didn't say anything.

"Lord Kyogre, the Abyss meticulously planned this operation, and what it coveted is likely the Great Sun Palace. It is said that the sage of the Abyss Palace was enlightened by the gods and led people to build that tower that dispels the darkness. When our ancestors came up from the Abyss Palace, the Great Sun Palace was sealed underground, and it is very likely that something bestowed by the gods was stored inside."

"Therefore, I suggest that we go directly to the Great Sun Imperial Palace. If the people from the Abyss have not yet arrived, we can set up an ambush in time."

Su Zhe nodded: "How much do you know about that deity?"

“A deity…” Xin Hai pondered slightly. “The information passed down in the Coral Palace hardly mentions Him. All that is known is that the people of the Abyss Palace called Him ‘Great God of the Eternal World’.”

At this point, Xin Hai hesitated for a moment, then pulled Su Zhe aside.

As the living goddess priestess of the Coral Palace, she manages the Haiqi Island lineage, so she naturally knows more than the average person.

But there are some things that she knows even if others don't tell her, and they can't be made public casually.

However, Kyogre has now become the second guardian deity of Umiji Island, and naturally has the right to know the secrets of the Umiji lineage on the island.

"In fact, there is a secret in the Coral Palace's lineage that cannot be made public. Only each current Living God Priestess is qualified to know it. Moreover, the current Living God Priestess only has the right to know, but not the right to make it public. When I ascended to the throne, I also swore an oath in the name of the Great Lord."

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow: "So demanding? If you really can't say, then forget it."

He also knew that people from Haiqi Island, in a novel, would be like the descendants of a 'supreme' powerhouse—weak in themselves, yet guarding an ancient secret. If a protagonist were added to this group, it would be the standard opening of a fantasy novel.

Xin Hai gently shook his head: "Lord Kyogre was almost killed by Raijin for protecting Haiji Island. He has done a great service to the Haiji lineage and is also a friend of the Great Lord. Therefore, I think Lord Kyogre has the right to know about this matter."

"Rules are rigid. The Haiqi lineage has been passed down for so many years. If it always sticks to the old rules, then it will not be far from destruction."

Teyvat is ultimately a world where demons reign supreme. Forces like Umibozu Island, without any backing, are adjacent to Inazuma, ruled by Raijin. To put it bluntly, their fate is always in the hands of others.

Even if Thor doesn't make a move, if some demon god happens to pass by one day and casually sends a wave crashing over, then Haiqi Island will be doomed.

Therefore, it is worth paying a price to gain the trust of a demon god.

Not to mention, is Lord Kyogre just an ordinary demon god?

In fact, Xin Hai had been thinking for a long time that if Su Zhe came here again, she would tell him.

The Yuanxia Palace just happened to open; perhaps those people went to great lengths to sneak in here for the same reasons.

Thinking of this, Xin Hai said, "Lord Gyoka, you may not know, but the Abyss Palace has a very long history, existing long before the War of the Demon Gods."

"According to the records of the scribes at the time, the people of Yuanxia Palace lived under the eternal night, where terrifying deep-sea dragon lizards lived. They were even more ancient creatures, who loved the night and hated light. When the first people came here, they found it difficult to fight against the dragon lizards because there was no light. Later, the god I just mentioned appeared, took pity on the people, and bestowed upon them a divine object that could bring 'light'."

"But the name of that deity cannot be spoken directly, and no one should be allowed to discuss anything about Him. Only the sage who built the Great Sun Palace knows it, but even the sage dares not tell anyone. However, it is said that he secretly had a statue of the Tokoyomi Okami built, but it has never been discovered."

Upon hearing Xin Hai's words, Su Zhe suddenly realized why there was no news about Ishtar in the entire Yuanxia Palace, and why the statue was secretly built in a secret room and never revealed its true appearance.

"And then what? After the Great Sun Palace was established, where did that deity go?"

"I don't know about that. According to the scribe's records, something happened at Fuchishita Palace. The sage was imprisoned by the shadow cast by the light, and the gods left in anger. For a long time, Fuchishita Palace was ruled by evil thoughts until the Great Lord appeared and led his people, whose thoughts had not been corrupted, to destroy the evil."

"After that, the people of Yuanxia Palace came to the surface, but..." Xin Hai's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "But the death of Lord Da Yushou back then seems to have been suspicious. Perhaps this is why the God of Thunder did not destroy Haiqi Island."

Regarding Orobas's death, history records that it was caused by the serpent's eastward invasion, but this explanation is hard to believe because it is equivalent to a competition between two great demons. After Thor killed the serpent, it is impossible for him to leave his people alive and living right under his nose.

What's even more absurd is that they were allowed to retain their right to independence and their faith in the Great Serpent. This isn't how you be a good Samaritan.

However, the God of Thunder couldn't explain it, and until there were other reasons to explain it, everyone could only assume this.

Shinkai only knew that it wasn't because of the invasion of Inazuma, but he didn't know the specific reason.

"Lord Kyogre, the Abyss Order has infiltrated the Abyss Palace, most likely to seize the divine artifacts left behind. Therefore, we must proceed to the Great Sun Palace immediately."

"There's no rush," Su Zhe waved his hand. "I actually took that thing a long time ago."

"Huh!?"

Xin Hai was stunned. "You...you took the divine object?"

“Yes.” Su Zhe smiled. “Remember the Blood Coral from last time? Actually, I found clues left by Old Ba at my residence and entered the Abyss Palace based on them. As for the divine object you mentioned, I thought it looked good when I saw it, so I took it. Anyway, it’s best if the Abyss Palace is kept buried forever.”

"As for what you just said, it is indeed something that cannot be publicized. No matter who you meet in the future, don't tell them, understand? Otherwise, it will bring harm to Haizhi Island. Perhaps Old Ba's death was also because he was involved in those things."

Xin Hai's gaze sharpened, and with her quick wit, she soon understood the meaning behind Su Zhe's words.

If the secret was forbidden to be touched, even threatening the life of the demon god, then...

"I'm sorry, Lord Kyogre!" She quickly bowed to Su Zhe. "I didn't mean to say these things to you, I just..."

"Don't get agitated, it's not as bad as you think."

"Lord Kyogre...aren't you angry with me?"

Xin Hai raised his head and asked cautiously.

Su Zhe spread his hands: "I asked you, and besides, let's keep this a secret between us. You know it, I know it, and nobody else knows. But you absolutely cannot tell a second person, understand?"

Xin Hai didn't actually know much, and didn't really reveal anything about what happened before the sun and moon.

The main issue involves the existence of the so-called 'divine object,' but Su Zhe had already taken that thing himself.

If problems arise because of this, it would be due to Su Zhe's own greed. However, it seems that his possession of the power of time does not pose a risk of being silenced by the laws of nature.

Either Heaven doesn't care about justice, or Heaven can't act.

Either way, Su Zhe is safe.
