The system said.
"Nonsense, if just any random person was talking in my mind, you would have been exposed long ago, okay?"
Jiang Ning was speechless, then immersed in his thoughts, and asked cautiously:
"who are you?"
"Well, you can call me the Goddess of Salt, or Heulia, whatever is fine."
The soft voice seemed a little nostalgic.
"Heulia... aren't you dead?!" Jiang Ning looked incredulous.
'No, the demon god can be said to be the embodiment of power. As long as power survives in this world, the demon god will not perish. Of course, it is possible that it will wake up again by chance, or, like human reincarnation, become a new individual.'
Heulia explained softly.
"Tongzi, what's going on with that undead demon?"
Jiang Ning switched the chat room and asked the system.
[Well, let me see... Oh, this thing is very simple. The original Deathly Devil was in deep sleep, and before he woke up, he was sent away by the secret method of restoring his soul that you learned... At that time, the Deathly Devil was just a fragment, and its strength was about the same as that of an ordinary person.]
System explanation.
[Then later, the host has that purified physique. The Undead Demon God was absorbed by you and was resentful. It can be regarded as a negative state. Therefore, the automatic triggering of the physique basically cleared out all the things belonging to the Undead Demon God in the body. ]
[Host, didn’t you feel that at that time, one day your body suddenly felt much more relaxed, and your control over the power of the Undead Demon God reached a higher level? ]
[Also, in Heulia's situation, she probably has no bad intentions towards you, otherwise, just send her to reincarnation.]
Jiang Ning suddenly realized: "So that's how it is... I thought I had learned something..."
'Hello? What are you thinking about?'
Heulia asked.
"Nothing, just... it takes some time to accept..."
Jiang Ning felt relieved after listening to the system's explanation.
As expected of a very gentle god, he doesn't even have any bad thoughts towards me...
"Salt God... uh, sir?" Jiang Ning asked cautiously, "What's your situation now? How did you wake up?"
Heulia chuckled. "Just call me and Heulia. The Salt God is dead. I feel a lot more relieved for some reason..."
"As for what happened, I'm not sure. My power should have dissipated between heaven and earth. Even if another Salt Demon God is born in the future, it won't be Heulia."
'My remaining power was left in the container containing the salt grains. As time goes by, it will gradually dissipate. However, it should have been absorbed by you. I don't know what method you used to make my power more solid. I have been nurturing it in your body for the past few days. When you went out to buy breakfast this morning, you regained consciousness and took a look at the current Liyue.'
"Nurture it in my body..."
Jiang Ning hesitated to speak.
But Heulia was a demon who had lived for so many years after all, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, I can't see what you are thinking. Moreover, although I am inside your body, you still have the initiative. If there is anything you don't want me to see or know, you can block me."
"Is that so..." Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a good thing, otherwise I would always feel like I'm being watched.
"Little guy, tell me about Liyue and Teyvat now. I'm very curious."
Heulia said.
Jiang Ning organized his thoughts, put away the Chopping Peak Blade, and then began to slowly narrate the current history.
After about a morning's work, although Heulia was still a little unsatisfied, she temporarily stopped asking questions.
Her tone was somewhat melancholy, but also somewhat happy: "Is that so... The Seven Gods are in power, and the people live and work in peace and contentment... Very good."
Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing.
It is true that the Seven Gods rule, but whether they can live and work in peace and contentment... is not necessarily the case.
Zhidong was thinking about how to get the Heart of God from other countries, and was acting arrogantly in other countries. It was said that Inazuma's people were almost starving to death, and there was also a civil war.
Nata... I heard that they've been at war? Mondstadt is about to be infiltrated by the Fatui.
Xumi was not clear about the situation, but generally speaking, from the information Jiang Ning knew, Liyue and Fontaine were very safe.
"By the way, can you come out of me? Or talk to someone other than me?"
Jiang Ning asked.
"I can't come out for now, unless the power of salt is replenished, then I can separate. Of course, I need to prepare a body for me. However, after separation, all my power will belong to you. This is good, I can live as an ordinary person."
"If I talk to someone else...it seems like it's possible. I can give it a try."
Heulia said.
Jiang Ning said, "Let me make it clear in advance that I am a disciple of the Immortal Family, so I will let Master know about your situation just to be on the safe side."
"No problem. I had a good relationship with Liyue's Dust King Guizhong back then, and I also had very friendly business with you Liyue."
Heulia agreed readily.
"If you want to talk, just say it. I won't waste any more words. I feel a little tired. I need to rest for a while."
"Well, I'll call you again when I see the master."
Jiang Ning said.
After saying that, Heulia fell silent.
Jiang Ning pondered, it seems that he needs to be more careful when absorbing the powerful demon's grudge in the future...
But... there is no system that allows you to look through the user manual afterwards. It's tiring.
But the most important thing right now is to find the master and explain the situation clearly.
…………
I've been looking for my own Master Xianyun for a long time, but I don't know where he has gone.
I asked Grandma Ping but she didn't know either.
I had no choice but to go find Zhongli.
Fortunately, Zhongli is easy to find. At this moment, Zhongli is listening to a book.
After ordering a pot of good tea and some top-notch dim sum, one occupied a table and leisurely listened to Tian Tiezui's storytelling.
Jiang Ning was not polite and sat directly in front of Zhongli, then said:
"Master, I have something I want to consult you about."
Zhongli slowly put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Ning thought about it, and then asked Zhongli: "Master, after absorbing Heulia's authority, I found that there was something extra in my body."
"What is that?" Zhongli frowned and reached out to grab Jiang Ning's wrist.
The divine power traveled around Jiang Ning's body, and he was very confused.
"No problem... it's just that I have the authority of the Salt God."
Jiang Ning looked around, and Zhongli understood, stood up, and said:
"Let's go and find a secluded place."
"Mr. Zhongli, the bill..."
A waiter asked quickly.
Zhongli said, "Just like usual, just send the bill to Wangsheng Hall."
"Okay! Take care, Mr. Zhongli. Welcome back next time!"
The waiter said enthusiastically.
Jiang Ning's strange look did not break Zhong Li's calm expression. He followed Zhong Li to Tian Heng Mountain. After confirming that there was no one around, Jiang Ning said:
"Well, I'll let her talk to you in person..."
"Morax, long time no see. I'm Heulia... It looks like you're doing well."
Heulia's voice sounded, and she seemed happy to see an old friend.
Hmm... hm? Hmm hmmm???
Jiang Ning was stunned and looked at Zhongli in disbelief with his mouth wide open.
"Morax? Who? Master?!"
Jiang Ning's voice broke.
Zhongli narrowed his eyes. This was not the time to explain or worry about his pseudonym being accidentally revealed.
Now there is something more important.
Because Heulia's voice came from Jiang Ning's body, Zhongli stared at Jiang Ning with his dragon eyes:
"Heulia? An old friend is coming back?"
"It's me, Morax. I thought I would disappear into thin air, but I didn't expect that I would recover after getting some opportunities. This is also the credit of your disciple."
Heulia seemed to have been alone for so many years and became a little talkative:
"You really have a very good disciple. But it's no wonder that you are the only one in Liyue who can teach such an excellent person."
Zhongli's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, and then he said: "It's nice to meet you."
I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put some wine in it. Old friend, can you come back?
"Jiang Ning, how did you do it?"
Zhongli asked Jiang Ning, with more expectations in his words.
Jiang Ning finally got a chance to interrupt and quickly asked, "No, wait a minute, Master, are you Morax? The Rock King? Ah? Aren't you an immortal?!"
Zhongli said: "First of all, I have never taken the initiative to say that I am an immortal. Secondly, according to common sense, Morax is known as the ancestor of all immortals, so it is not wrong to say that I am an immortal."
"Master, do they know everything and hide it from us youngsters?"
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of something.
"Ah."
Zhongli nodded.
"I just want to live a peaceful life. I'm tired of protecting Liyue for so many years. Please don't tell anyone."
"Well, Master..."
Jiang Ning nodded, but was a little confused.
No, then why is it that my usurping the throne is good for Liyue... I understand. If it were in ancient times, wouldn't I be the crown prince? And the only son?
Oh no, I am even more powerful than the second generation of powerful people.
"Then Master..." Jiang Ning thought of something and summoned the rock element. "I feel that the rock element you gave me is a little unusual. Could it be..."
"My authority is involved here. Since you know my identity, I might as well tell you directly. If you can pass my assessment, you will be my successor."
Jiang Ning felt a pressure on his shoulders.
The task, just leave it there, it will be completed naturally, there is no need to worry about the legitimacy, and after "usurping the throne", there is no need to worry about the senior sisters turning against you.
But the question is, what kind of assessment is this?
"The time has not come yet. When it comes, you will know."
Zhongli said.
"The Riddler is the most annoying..." Jiang Ning muttered.
Heulia said weakly: "Moracus, did I do something bad?"
