Genshin Impact, those big guys behind the scenes are all me.

Although at that time, the Daci Tree King felt that the words spoken by the Flower God were based on personal sentiments, with a hint of arrogance and unrulyness, but now it seems that the Flower God's comment was probably due to Su Chen's own influence.

The arrogant king said such blatant and arrogant words, King Daci Shu had to think about the consequences that her traveling with the emperor would bring to herself and her people.

Apep burst out laughing.

"Lord of the Yellow Sands, why do you say such things? Do you know that if the kingdom you are proud of touches the rules of heaven, it will be destroyed in an instant!"

"That's not something you should worry about. What you have to consider is the current choice." Su Chen is not worried about the consequences of what he just said. Apep hopes that he will rush to Sky Island. As for the Great Ci Tree King, the latter will sooner or later You also need to know, and you also need to face choices.

The Tree King is a smart and kind god. It can be seen from the original three-god era of Xumi that even if he knew that the Red King had touched a taboo, he did not let it go, let alone run to "report" to the law of heaven.

"Azir, I appreciate your courage, but it's too late." Apep shook his head, "I will not surrender to anyone, and I also know your purpose of coming here. I did reach an agreement with the Red King. Help him gain power beyond this world...it's too late, he's already on that path and there's nothing you can do to stop it."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Where is he?"

"Deep in the world, on the winding and serpentine corridor, at the end of the passage, he should have obtained that part of the power...perhaps he has left now. The ruler of the desert, Azir, if you can really do what you just said As you said, go ahead and stop him, and prove to me that those are not your arrogant rants."

At the end of the road, Apep released a pure elemental power and began to explore the situation on that road. In the end, he was really unable to find any trace of the Red King, and could only feel the terrifying power remaining on it.

Although he was moved by these powers, Apep did not lose his mind. He suddenly wanted to know what Su Chen was going to do.

"Is it too late..."

Su Chen shook his head secretly. Perhaps his appearance accelerated the Red King's acquisition of power, but there was no doubt that the Red King had already begun to explore the abyss long before that, and Apep just relied on his power to open the door.

In the game, this should have been done by the flower god.

However, the power of the taboo is extraordinary. Even if it is successfully obtained, it will take a long time to absorb and control it.

At this time, the Red King will definitely choose a safe place.

When the Flower Goddess heard the news, she immediately said: "The golden dreamland is the reflection of Aru, the true eternal paradise pursued by the Red King."

"Aru..." King Dacishu shook his head gently, "The king of Chisha is indeed excellent, but he is also too stubborn. I have witnessed the prosperity of Aru, and now the territory of Chisha belongs to you. Commander, there may be a chance to find Aru’s reflection.”

"We can only try our best to find it."

Su Chen handed over this task to the two goddesses, while he himself was busy dealing with the upcoming war in Shurima.

As the Shurima army embarked on the journey again, declaring the desert emperor's determination to unify Sumeru, a large number of human tribes chose to surrender, while the recalcitrant city-states carried out ruthless killings under the leadership of Nasus, and the blood stained the sand. Wherever the desert army passes, there is only surrender and death.

This obviously violated the last bottom line of the remaining demon gods. Some wanted to negotiate with Su Chen to show that they would not compete for hegemony and only wanted to defend a corner of the world, while others began to plan a decisive battle with Shurima.

For the former, Su Chen simply agreed, but it was actually a delaying tactic, because after he had dealt with most of the demons who dared to resist, he would eventually take action on the remaining demons.

"The demon god of lava in the west is the most powerful. Most of his people are created by lava. It is difficult for ordinary humans to defeat him."

"The Demon God of Darkness in the Northeast, he can summon the night, and his people are like ghosts sneaking into the shadows, which is also troublesome."

"In addition, there are some big guys who escaped from Liyue and are not willing to be defeated... Humph! Do they think that the God of Gold is more powerful than the emperor?"

In the palace, Nasus told Su Chen about the current situation.

To say that the most intense war between demons and gods is naturally in Liyue, but Xumi is not too far behind, because the land of Xumi is vast. Although there are many desert areas, as long as the gods win this game, The rest is not difficult.

['These are small things. ’ you said. 】

[Although there are many demon gods still staying in Sumeru, only a handful of them can pose a threat to you. However, no matter how weak they are, they are still demon gods. Nasus alone leading the army is not enough to achieve the goal. 】

[You come to the underground palace and feel the power emanating from the sun disk. The power of the runes beats. 'Precision', 'Domination', 'Witchcraft', 'Resolute', and 'Enlightenment'. Each rune corresponds to a powerful effect. , five different rays of light are released under the influence of your power at this moment. 】

[You give Nasus the domination rune that symbolizes the burst of power, you give Renekton the rock-solid resolute rune, and you give Asna the power of the sorcery rune. 】

[At this time, you felt the power fluctuation of the sun disk, so you started the contract summoning based on the feeling in your heart.When the light of the ceremony fades away, a black-haired woman appears in front of you. 】

The healthy copper complexion, streamlined muscle lines and soft feminine charm are perfectly combined. The woman holds a cross blade with magic lines, sensing the power of summons, and kneels down respectfully to Su Chen.

"Sivir, meet the great emperor!"

Sivir, the Goddess of War... Su Chen's eyes flashed with joy. After withdrawing gold one after another (referring to Nasus and Renekton), he summoned a series of crooked melons and cracked jujubes. He was almost convinced of his original choice of simulation talent. I felt doubtful, but now I finally have a good follower.

Like Nasus, the summoned Sivir automatically adapted to the situation in Teyvat and made Su Chen the only will to follow.

[You poured the power of the sun disk into Sivir's body, and the latter successfully became a powerful ascender. In addition, you also gave her the power of precision runes.Sivir swung the crossblade in her hand, unleashing a power that surprised even Nasus. 】

"'Go, warriors, with the glory of Shurima. ’ you said.In the presence of your power, the four ascended ones swear an oath of loyalty. 】

[In the 40th year of the Desert Calendar, a team led by the four Ascended Ones launched an attack like the Demon God. What shocked countless creatures was that you, as the emperor, didn’t even show up. The Demon God’s forces were annihilated by Nasus and others. 】

['Mortals' killed the demon god. This is almost impossible to happen in the continent of Teyvat. People have no way of knowing the power of the ascended ones, but what they can only see is that the strength of the four ascended ones comes from The great desert emperor. 】

[As a result, more and more people gathered in Shurima's royal city, Nerima Jie, eager to receive extraordinary power from the emperor. 】

[The demon gods are also afraid of your power, but at the same time, there are also bad rumors flowing out. Those powerful demon gods think that you are an ominous existence descended from the sky and a 'taboo' that cannot be tolerated in this world. 】

[After 50 years in the desert calendar, your 'evil reputation' has spread throughout Xumi and even spread to other places. 】

"Is it taboo..."

Su Chen couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard the news coming from outside the palace.

"Don't worry about the slander of the weak. They just want to use this method to gain recognition and resonance from others, so as to find excuses for their own weakness." The Flower God was worried that Su Chen would think too much.

"Don't worry, I will only take these as compliments, and then my subordinates will feel at ease." Su Chen said with a smile.

"Indeed, being feared by many demon gods, and even being called a taboo, is something to be proud of in a sense." King Daci Shu Wan'er said, "As far as I know, among the gods in the demon god war, Only Morax of Liyue was feared like this."

Su Chen touched his chin: "Morax."

King Daci Shu was slightly puzzled: "Do you know him?"

"That's right. I've seen him before. If nothing unexpected happens, Liyue's final winner will be him."

"I also think that he is an ancient god, a wise and benevolent god to mankind. Liyue should have no worries if he leads him." The beautiful and kind-hearted Tree King sighed.

Then she turned her eyes and found Su Chen looking at her.

"what happened?"

"Speaking of which, is your birthday coming soon, Tree King?"

"Eh?" King Daci Shu blinked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Su Chen chuckled: "I have nothing to do, let's celebrate."

The Great Ci Tree King wanted to refuse. After all, demon gods live too long and birthdays are meaningless to them, but he couldn't resist your insistence, so he had no choice but to agree.

"You have never taken the initiative to celebrate my birthday." When King Daci Shu left to gather his people to prepare for this matter, the Flower God suddenly came over and said a little sourly.

She and Su Chen met earlier and formed an alliance earlier.

But so far, Su Chen has never asked her about her birthday.

Su Chen smiled: "Definitely next time."

In fact, this was just a whim in his spare time, because the allusion of the Flower Goddess celebrating his birthday was just a flash of inspiration, and there was really no favoritism towards anyone.

"It's settled." The flower god winked at Su Chen playfully.

[Under your command, the entire Shurima is celebrating the birthday of the Tree King. 】

[When the green light of the forest shone into Nerima Jie, all the people of Shurima cheered and celebrated. The goddess of wisdom, symbolizing the breath of life, sat on a sedan chair surrounded by elves. She stretched out her delicate hands as white as lotus roots. , break off a piece of green leaf and scatter it, the green leaf will grow into a big tree, and the thin branches will be waved gently, and a clear spring will fall. The people of the desert greedily absorb the nectar and worship God's gift. 】

[The Lannaros are also overjoyed. They obey the command of the Tree King and appear in various places in Naerimajie, bringing green vitality to the city. 】

[At this time, you overlook the cheering people from the huge balcony of the palace and order a grand and unprecedented martial arts test. The winner will have the opportunity to be promoted. 】

[As soon as the news came out, the enthusiasm of the entire royal city was immediately ignited. Under the arrangement of Nasus, a huge arena was built, and warriors from the Shurima territory competed with each other for the qualifications to ascend. 】

[On the palace, the Lannaros played the songs of the forest. Immersed in the songs, it seemed as if the lonely and sweet sound of the clear spring was coming to my ears, as well as the fragrance of flowers and the dancing butterflies. 】

[The maids were dismissed, and the Flower Goddess, who was in high spirits, danced in front of the palace accompanied by the performance of the Lannaros. As she danced, beautiful Patisala flowers bloomed in the palace. 】

[While you drink the fragrant wine, you admire the dancing posture of this flower god, and then you have to sigh, any beauty in this world is probably not as good as this moment. 】

[Immersed in the tenderness woven by the Flower Goddess with dreams and fine wine, the Great Merciful Tree King is also a little intoxicated. This is the first birthday celebration from a god friend, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life. 】

[The God of Flowers celebrates his birthday. After this time, the festival celebrating the King of Trees has been passed down forever. 】

The joy of the banquet lasted for ten days before it stopped. At the same time, the results of the martial arts test were also determined. The winner was brought to the front of the palace by Nasus. He was a young man who was not strong in body. Among the heroes in the tribal city-state who had the honor of slaying the giant beast, no one thought that this young man could win the championship.

"He is the most powerful-willed mortal I have ever seen." Nasus praised the young man without hesitation.

There are many powerful humans, but most mortals will be afraid when faced with danger or desperate situations. But what the young man showed in the ring was a determination that even Nasus was amazed by.

The battle continues until the enemy falls before you.

Su Chen looked at the young man, and he saw purity and determination in the latter's eyes.

"what's your name?"

The young man immediately looked confused.

Nasus said: "He has no name, and he couldn't even speak when he first came to compete. He only had a sword and a set of torn clothes."

Su Chen was a little surprised. There are still people who can't even speak. Are they mute?

But in fact, he was not mute. Nasus sent people to investigate. This young man came from an ancient tribe, but so far, he is the only one left in the entire tribe.

Before that, the young man had been staying in the dead tribe every day, relying on the only sword that accompanied him to kill monsters.

We haven’t spoken to each other in about ten years, right? ...Nasus guessed that although it was somewhat inappropriate for such a person to be brought before the emperor, he did not want Shurima to miss a great warrior because of so-called etiquette.

Of course, before that, he asked the maid to take good care of the young man and put on new clothes before bringing him over to see Su Chen.

"The unknown mad swordsman..."

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will give you a name - Aatrox."

[The mad swordsman Aatrox is a born warrior and a pure loyalist. He should have been lingering around the tribe until death. For some reason, he sensed the call from the distance and came to the royal city to participate in the competition. Others asked him why. He didn't answer, all he did was think about the huge figure cast in the sky - the Desert Emperor. 】

[He is a warrior born in the land of Shurima. You did not hesitate to open the sun disk for him. When the great power symbolizing extraordinary power descended on Aatrox, even the ancient disk They all began to tremble violently. 】

[This has never happened before. Aatrox has drawn even more power than Nasus. 】

[You couldn't help but marvel at Aatrox's talent. After he officially became an Ascendant, you kept him by your side and taught him carefully, teaching him martial arts and power control techniques. Under your guidance, Aatrox's strength improved by leaps and bounds. Even Nasus was no match for him. 】

[In the 60th year of the desert calendar, Aatrox joined the expeditionary army and personally killed the lava demon who blocked the advancement of the desert army. 】

[In the 65th year of the Desert Calendar, Aatrox fought against the Demon God of Night alone. After three days and three nights, when he was finally discovered, the corpses of the Night Familiar were everywhere, and the huge Demon God was revealed by Aatrox, who showed the form of an Ascended One. Si was nailed to the ground with a sword. 】

[The prestige of Aatrox resounded throughout the desert, and the power of the five Ascended Ones was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Those demon gods who were still thinking of luck began to migrate out of Sumeru one by one. 】

[In the 80th year of the desert calendar, Shurima's territory covers almost the entire Sumeru. The kingdom is stronger than ever, but what worries you is still the missing Red King. He has obtained forbidden power for so many years but there is still no news. 】

[After the search was fruitless, you gave up your plan to continue waiting. With the help of King Daci Shu, you spent 20 years building seven obelisks in the territory that carry the power of the desert. These obelisks have mutual power. Connected and echoing each other. 】

[You ask Nasus, Renekton, Asna, Sivir and Actos to guard one obelisk respectively, and leave the remaining two to the Great Merciful Tree King and the Flower God. 】
