Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Her eyebrows were as slender as the mist on distant mountains, with the ends dotted with broken stars made of salt crystals.

The corners of her lips were naturally raised, as if with compassion or a sigh, and her lips were as pale as a withered rose.

Her figure was slimmer than that of an ordinary woman, like a reed bent by the wind and snow. Her shoulders and neck were as fragile as glassware, yet she was shrouded in the aura of a demon god's majesty.

Her ten fingers are as slender as jade carvings, and the fingertips are often surrounded by dust condensed from salt grains, which scatters fine silver light with every movement.

The floor-length robe was woven with moonlight shark silk, the color of first snow, and the hem was dyed with gradient silver-blue, like a flowing mist held up by the sea tide.

His bare feet were suspended three inches off the ground, with salt crystal chains wrapped around his ankles.

She was quietly suspended in the air, as if she had been sleeping for a long time.

Until Wang Que was in a trance and moved a little closer.

The sleeping goddess slowly opened her eyes.

Her pupils were a light glass color, like two pools of diluted sea water, and when she looked at them, she reminded people of a stream melting snow in early spring - clear enough to reflect the sorrows and joys of all living beings, yet also so fragile that it could shatter at any time.

For some unknown reason, Wang Que suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, as if he was lost, or as if he was sighing. He had mixed feelings and it was extremely complicated.

'I was influenced.'

Wang Que made an instant judgment in his mind, and then a large number of meditation talismans in his left sleeve were activated.

A cold feeling rose from deep within my heart, dispelling the endless sadness.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

As Wang Que moved, the woman in front of him seemed to notice something, and a hint of apology appeared on her beautiful face.

In front of me is the hint of the golden finger.

【Unknown memory, life energy level none.】

Wang Que's eyes were already filled with vigilance, but there was also a hint of suspicion: "Who are you?"

The questioning voice echoed in the palace.

The apology on the woman's face still existed. After hearing Wang Que's question, she smiled slightly: "Haven't you guessed it?"

Her gaze shifted horizontally and fell on the white salt coffin behind her.

The sadness in his eyes became more intense.

"Are you Heulia?"

Wang Que spoke hesitantly.

The other party appeared here at this time and place.

She looks like a goddess, and it's hard not to associate her with Heulia.

The woman withdrew her gaze and looked back at Wang Que, nodding slightly: "In that era, everyone did call me Heulia."

Wang Que's pupils trembled: "Haven't you already..."

"I have fallen." Heulia said lightly, interrupting Wang Que's words, "But in this world, death is never the end."

Her gaze was cast outside the palace, as if she was looking at something.

After a while,

Heulia nodded slightly: "So that's how it is."

Wang Que was confused: "What's going on?"

Heulia looked at him and smiled. "After my death, my divine body disintegrated, and my soul fell silent, entering the earth's circulation."

"Normally, I should have forgotten everything in this endless cycle, my memories shattered and merged into the earth's veins."

"But I am a demon god after all. A thousand years of repetition is not enough for me to forget everything."

"Recently, the earth veins here seem to have been impacted by something, causing the Land of Death to tremble. With the help of the salt ruler and salt cup, I was able to gather some of my memories."

She pointed at the two artifacts in Wang Que's hands.

Wang Que's eyes widened: "So, you are resurrected?"

If Heulia is really resurrected, it will be a good show to watch.

Those people in Yinyuan Hall must be going crazy.

Hearing this, Heulia shook her head. "How is that possible? My divine body has already disintegrated, and my power has long since dissipated. What you see before you now is only a portion of my condensed memories..."

As she spoke, she looked outside the palace again: "When the place where he died is once again isolated, I will once again disappear."

Only then did Wang Que understand what the other party was looking at. He was looking at Bixie Zichen.

Zi Chen is dealing with the dissipation of death energy at the boundary between life and death.

And Heulia was able to condense a part of her form because of the turmoil in the dead land and the guidance of the salt ruler and salt cup.

"You were able to break through that seal and come to the ruins. I guess you are also a figure in this era. Can I ask you some questions?"

Heulia suddenly spoke.

Wang Que was stunned: "Do you know who sealed this place?"

Heulia nodded. "Salt's authority is an extension of that person. After my death, that person will naturally accept everything about me. This place is naturally his creation."

Wang Que nodded slightly. It seemed that there were still many connections between these demons that he didn't know about. "Then ask me. I will naturally answer what I know."

He didn't know how much divine power Heulia still had, but it was better not to offend her if possible.

"Thank you. I will reward you." A trace of gratitude flashed in Heulia's eyes. "I want to know how my people are doing now?"

Wang Que was speechless. He didn't expect Heulia to ask this. But when he thought about it carefully, it was normal. After all, he was the Demon God of Teyvat and a famous "lover".

"After your fall, most of the Salt People were transformed into salt sculptures by your dissipated divine power. A small number of Salt People fled here and were eventually taken in by Morax. Today, this remaining group of Salt People live in Liyue Harbor, control Liyue's salt industry, and live a prosperous life, free from foreign threats. However, they have now somewhat forgotten their history..."

Wang Que told Heulia some of the things he knew.

Heulia listened quietly.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Morax had accepted the Salt People.

When she heard that the people of Salt lived a life without worries about food and clothing, she would smile with relief.

But when she heard that the Salt People had forgotten history and even blamed Morax for her death, her face was filled with worry.

"how so."

Her eyes were full of worry, as if she was worried about the consequences of the Salt People's actions.

Wang Que didn't have any thoughts and said calmly, "It's very simple. They remember you but forget what they did. Naturally, they can't imagine how you fell."

After a pause, Wang Que continued, "How about I go outside and tell that guy not to seal the Death Land yet, so you can stay a little longer. I'll take you to Liyue Harbor to find someone? You can talk to your people yourself."

There was some excitement and interest in his tone.

Just thinking about taking Heulia to find the salt survivors is a lot of fun.

Hearing Wang Que say this, Heulia was really moved. She also wanted to see her people.

But soon, the excitement on his face turned into helplessness: "No, I can't leave here, and... they are no longer my people."

"You can't leave here?" Wang Que didn't care whether she was his subject or not, he was just a little curious about Heulia's current condition.

Apart from Lao Deng, this was his first close encounter with the demon god of Teyvat.

Although it was just a figure condensed from memories and not a real demon, it was enough to arouse Wang Que's curiosity.

Heulia nodded slightly. "Do you know about the monsters that condense from the earth veins?"

Wang Que was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I know that."

"Then do you know why monsters condense?" she asked again.

Wang Que frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Because of memory and energy."

The earth veins condense monsters. Many people in Teyvat are studying this topic.

Wang Que was also involved because of the [Black Earth Alchemy].

[Black Earth Alchemy] is to cultivate life from tiny cells, the matrix of life.

The reason why monsters gather in the earth veins is usually because of the congestion of the earth veins.

This causes the memories and energy flowing in the earth veins to be unable to flow normally.

A large amount of chaotic memories mixed with the power surging in the earth veins, and finally condensed into a monster.

Therefore, the accumulation of earth veins can not only condense the hillbillies, but also condense sea ghosts, treasure-stealing groups, and even autonomous machines.

It’s not because these things really exist in the earth veins, but because these things exist in the memories surging in the earth veins.

"So, you are now equivalent to a monster formed by the accumulation of earth veins?"

Wang Que looked at Heulia and couldn't help but speak.

Heulia smiled, "Stronger than the average monster. At least I've retained most of my memories. Average monsters are condensed by the earth veins and lack intelligence."

"For unknown reasons, this place is in a state of shock. The death zone is deep within the earth veins, so I was able to escape. My existence also depends on the earth veins here. If I leave here, I will be pulled back to the death zone in an instant."

Wang Que nodded, roughly understanding it.

"Is there anything you need me to do?" he asked.

If he can, he doesn't mind helping others after they have taken their things.

"There's nothing I can help with. I've already fallen. Although I'm a little worried about them, that's no longer my responsibility. They're already the people of the Rock God."

After a pause, Heulia looked at what Wang Que was holding.

"This salt cup and salt ruler were originally something I left for them to make a living, but now they probably don't need them anymore, so I'll give them to you as a reward."

Wang Que looked at the things in his hand and wanted to say, "You're using my things as a reward?"

But after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

However, Heulia seemed to see what he was thinking.

"Isn't that enough?"

Chapter 146 The Emperor’s big chess game?

she asked softly.

Wang Que quickly shook his head: "No, that's enough, that's enough."

Heulia: "If you have any other needs, please tell me and I will do my best to meet them, just as you have met my needs."

Wang Que hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you still display the power of the Demon God? I want to know about the [Demon God Energy]."

"Demon God Energy?"

Heulia was clearly confused; she didn't understand the word.

Or rather, the word didn't exist in her time.

Of course, in this era, not many people can understand this word.

Wang Que quickly explained, "Oh, Demon God Energy is a term I coined. It roughly means the power fragments extracted from the remains of the Demon God, which are then purified and used as the energy source for the elemental force generation system."

A clear glint flashed in Heulia's eyes: "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

Before Wang Que could continue, she spoke, "If I were alive, I might understand what you mean, but I am only a condensation of memories now, and I don't have the full thinking ability of my true self."

Wang Que felt a little lost.

But Heulia added, "However, if you are studying the power of the Demon God's remains, then..."

She pointed to the salt coffin behind her and said, "Perhaps you can take my divine remains with you."

"It should still contain a trace of my power. Combined with the salt cup and salt ruler, it should be enough for you to become familiar with and even master my divine power."

"Remember, don't separate them too far apart. Keep them closer for easier access."

Wang Que was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Heulia's divine corpse, and then looked at Heulia again: "This is your divine corpse."

Heulia smiled and said, "It's better to call it the remains of a body than a divine corpse. I am a weak demon god. Even in death, I can't control my own power..."

At this point, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes again, but she quickly put it away and continued:

"There's not much power left in it. If you take it back, it might be of some use. Leaving it here will only bring you sadness."
