Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Moreover, Zhongli now knows that there are probably more complex issues involved behind this matter than meets the eye, and Su Zhe needs to investigate the specific reasons himself.

Thinking about this, he felt that he had really made the right decision to come. He only wanted to seize the power of time and did not want to get too involved in the events before the sun and moon.

But right now, he needs to find Istaru's secret to uncover the 'truth' behind his time travel.

Seeing that Xin Hai still looked preoccupied, Su Zhe smiled slightly and patted her head from behind: "Alright, I really didn't mean to blame you. Tell everyone to be careful, let's continue."

Xin Hai was slightly taken aback. Was this... a head pat?

After the initial surprise, a warm feeling welled up inside her.

Lord Kyogre, you're so kind.

...

On the other side, deep within the Abyss Palace.

Three figures swiftly darted through the black mist, skimming over hillsides before landing together.

"Yuanshang, is the secret you speak of truly hidden here?"

"Don't worry, I've investigated thoroughly. This place used to be inhabited by the people of Haiqi Island, and it was called Baiye Kingdom. According to the timeline, it should be before the establishment of the Seven Gods System. The truth we've been searching for might be found here."

"Hmph! I'll believe you for now, but remember, you haven't been cleared of suspicion yet. If it weren't for His Highness's mercy, you would be dead. I hope this time we can really get something out of this."

"Alright, alright, sigh~ I've said it so many times, I don't know any of those Liyue immortals you're talking about! I don't know them at all! And I've never even been to Liyue, how could I possibly have been subdued by them?"

The abyssal monster, named Abyss Above, looks similar to the Abyssal Apostle, but the markings on its body are dark red, clearly indicating that it is a fire-wielding creature.

At this point, Yuan Shang's tone became noticeably helpless. He had been secretly investigating matters concerning Yuanxia Palace, and this time he had planned for a long time before taking action.

As a result, he wasn't discovered by the people of Haiqi Island, but he was stopped by his own people halfway there.

They say he colluded with the Liyue immortals and committed heinous crimes. What did I collude with?

Liyue's Sage? Or the Great Sage Who suppressed Osel back to the sea?

However, Yuan Shang had never heard of the other party's name. He was just a minor figure in the Abyss, engrossed in his own puzzle-solving activities and not particularly concerned with other matters of the Order.

That's why, having few friends in the cult, he had no one to testify after being 'slandered'.

The key question is, how did Su Zhe come to know Yuan Shang? That's the most suspicious point. If they hadn't had prior contact, it would be impossible for him to know.

But Yuan Shang says he doesn't know him, so there's something fishy going on here.

Fortunately, 'Your Highness' spoke up. He was very interested in what Yuan Shang was investigating, so he wanted Yuan Shang to prove himself through this operation. If he could uncover the secrets hidden in Teyvat, then whether or not they were colluding would be irrelevant.

"It's strange because you've never been to Liyue. You never participated in the Order's many operations in Liyue. Also, if you've never been there, why does he know you?"

"I also want to know why. I'll ask you next time I have the chance... But never mind, the most important thing now is to find the secret buried here as soon as possible. The aura of the abyss has already corrupted this place. Haiqi Island will take action soon, and those dragon lizards are not easy to deal with."

Yuan Shang had no intention of explaining any further. Rather than having the secret right in front of him, he was looking forward to what would happen next.

As for that Liyue master, well, he never intended to go to Liyue anyway, and he probably won't even meet him in his lifetime. Let the misunderstanding be, it doesn't matter.

What puzzled him was that, according to the information, activating the Abyss Palace would turn this underground world into daylight, but it was pitch black right now.

Looking around, he walked forward and stopped in front of a device.

"found it."

Behind them, the Abyss Apostles and the Chanter followed.

"what is this?"

"The device to activate the Great Sun Chariot: The people of the White Night Kingdom built the Great Sun Chariot, comparing it to a sun chariot. Once activated, it can allow this underground world to freely switch between day and night."

"It's really that amazing?"

"It is said that this was built by the sages of the time, after the White Night Kingdom was inspired by the wisdom of the gods. At that time, the Seven Gods system had not yet been established, so this god must have been a god before the Demon God War."

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, the two began to believe that there might really be a secret down there.

The abyss defies the laws of nature, and there are unknown secrets behind it.

However, they are not core members, so they cannot access the truth. They only know that the current Heavenly Principles seem to be 'intruders' as well, and they want to dig out the truth behind it and then make it public.

The two stared at the activation device on the abyss. In the darkness, a sound like a giant machine turning came from the direction of the Great Sun Imperial Court.

But after a while, it was still completely dark around us.

"What's going on?! Why isn't it lit up?"

Yuan Shang's voice rose noticeably, filled with shock and bewilderment.

"It shouldn't be like this... No, could we have missed a step? But that's exactly how it's recorded in that book."

"Yuanshang, what's wrong now?"

"Perhaps the information recorded in the book I obtained was not comprehensive enough, and some important steps were missed. We need to find the library of Fuchishita Palace and obtain the correct way to open the Great Sun Palace from there."

The information that Yuanshang obtained was naturally 'taken' from the Coral Palace. After entering, he went straight to the Great Sun Palace, since it was the core of the entire Yuanshang Palace and must contain amazing secrets.

However, it now appears that other steps may be needed to activate the Great Sun Palace.

"Yuanshang, you're not hiding something, are you?"

The Abyss Apostle said in a deep voice, "If you dare to play any tricks, we will kill you without hesitation!"

"What am I hiding?! Can you stop so easily suspecting your own people? If I were really hiding something, would I have brought you here and told you all this?"

Yuan Shang was also somewhat angry.

Although he was just an outsider to the cult, an insignificant figure, he could not tolerate being slandered like this.

Why trust a stranger when you don't trust your own companions?

Blanch!

He just wanted to solve the mystery; he had no interest in the disputes or conspiracies.

"You two, I'll say it one last time!" Yuan Shang said angrily, "I have never betrayed the Order, never. If you don't believe me, then kill me!"

The abyss tried to exchange a glance with the two.

"Alright, Yuanshang, don't be angry. I admit I was wrong just now, but you know, when an accident happens in a place like this, it often means that something unusual is about to happen."

"Hmph! I know, so we must find the library of Yuanxia Palace as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he took out a map, spread it out, and pointed to it.

"Let's go here."

"it is good."

The library of Fukushita Palace was located in the narrow street. The three of them turned back and, after about half a day, found the entrance to the library.

"This should be it."

Yuan Shang walked in, looked up, and exclaimed with delight, "Ah! This is the place we should have come from in the first place!"

"Yuan Shang, what's here?"

"Everything!" Yuan Shang said solemnly, "About everything recorded in Yuanxia Palace, of course some things will not be made public, perhaps they are hidden in a certain book, let's search carefully first."

Yuan Shang couldn't wait to go up the library stairs, but when he was halfway up, a voice suddenly came from above.

"Yuanshang, you did a good job."

Splash splash~~

As the cover of darkness dissipated, the Coral Palace warriors swiftly sealed the entrance, weapons in hand, facing the abyssal apostle and the chanter.

Su Zhe stood on the second floor looking at them and said with a grin, "Gentlemen, we meet again."

The Abyss Apostle and the Chanter were greatly alarmed. Remembering Su Zhe's words, they suddenly looked up at the abyss.

"You really betrayed the Order!!!"

"I..."

Yuan Shang was completely dumbfounded.

No, what are you talking about?!

He looked up at Su Zhe, surprised and asked, "Who are you?"

“Alright, Yuan Shang, they can’t escape now. It was my fault last time that they got away and almost exposed you. But don’t worry, as long as they die here, no one will know you’re one of us.”

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Yuan Shang wanted to defend himself, but Su Zhe didn't give him a chance at all. With a flash, he appeared in front of the Abyss Apostle.

"scare!?"

The Abyss Apostle was greatly alarmed and conjured blades to slash.

Ding!

The gauntlets formed from the Rock of No Sign easily blocked it.

"Tsk~ You thought you were something special for escaping from the young master's clutches? Is that all?"

The Abyss Apostle roared, "Destruction is unstoppable!"

Rumble rumble rumble~~~

A surge of water elemental power gathered wildly.

As pioneers of the Abyss, they wield the all-encompassing blades of the Abyss, shattering all armor and defenses, and unleashing their fatalistic punishment upon the carefree fools. Before them, only faith in the Abyss offers the only way out!

unless--

They couldn't beat the other side.

boom! !

With a powerful brute force, he swung his fist and smashed the water elemental in the Abyss Apostle's hand.

"Playing in the water in front of me? You're still too green!"

Time, pause!

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora..."

Boom!

The power of time unfolds and then contracts; everyone's consciousness lasts only a fleeting moment. By the time they regain their senses, the Abyss Apostle has already been sent flying and crashed into the wall, barely clinging to life.
