Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

The traveler came to Mondstadt to wait for the man named Dainesreb.

Lin Qiu had told her about the other person's physical characteristics, so it was easy to recognize them.

Lin Qiu told her that the other party had information about her brother, so she had been waiting.

"No way! We're good friends!" Paimon said, crossing his arms.

"Lin Qiu is praising us. This talent is incredibly powerful for adventurers!" Paimon continued.

“That’s right, it’s like saying that Paimon wouldn’t let any bowl of rice in front of him go to waste, it’s a compliment.” Ying nodded.

"Hmm? Something feels off," Paimon tilted his head and scratched it.

Paimon's CPU started loading, seemingly trying to figure out whether this was praise or a subtle insult.

The others ignored Paimon's dilemma and continued reading.

The group of people in the book arrived at the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, where many treasures were buried, all of which fell from the Jade Pavilion when Ningguang smashed it down.

Everyone understood that without the prophet's involvement, Ningguang would have indeed destroyed the Jade Pavilion in the end during the great battle with Osel.

[Zhong Li: "Legend has it that the Rock King used a rock as a spear, throwing it into this sea to pierce and suppress the demon god."]

"Those rock ridges, after years of weathering, have finally formed this unique landscape."

"What remains before us today is merely the tip of the iceberg. The number and size of the rock spears hurled by the Emperor back then far exceeded this."

Zhongli told everyone the story of the Rock King Emperor. He wasn't boasting; he mainly wanted to tell the story to the travelers.

This story thrilled the people of Liyue. Guyun Pavilion was formed from the rock spears thrown by the Emperor, and what's even more outrageous is that the number of rock spears thrown by the Emperor far exceeded this!

This is our Rock King Emperor! Does your country have a Rock King Emperor like this?

Paimon: "So, was that line in Zhongli's book praising us or insulting us?"

Ying: "Given Zhongli's personality, it should be praise."

Paimon: "So, when you said that, were you praising me or insulting me?"

Ying: "Given my personality, I should be sarcastic."

Paimon: "You! You! You're making me so angry! I'm not picking apples for you to eat!"

Chapter 125 Breaking the Contract Before the God of Contracts

The Mondstadt people were alright; their wind god had also accomplished many great feats, such as stopping snowstorms and leveling mountains, which were equally astonishing feats of power.

The Inatsume people weren't envious; their general could also cleave an island in two with a single stroke.

The Winter People are not envious either; the Ice Queen is also great.

Sumeru and the people of Fontainebleau were a little upset.

The great sage on Mount Sumeru's side was very dissatisfied, saying, "If only the Great Tree King were still here..."

Looking at the place where Nasita was imprisoned, he became even more determined to create a god that belonged to them.

The people of Fontainebleau were thinking that they had never seen the Water God accomplish anything earth-shattering... They wondered if they would ever witness such a feat in their lifetime...

People from other countries would marvel at and revere the Emperor's power, but the people of Liyue would feel even more excited the stronger the Emperor was.

Returning to the story, the group split up to explore Lonely Cloud Pavilion, but only the Traveler and Zhongli found something of value.

What Wanyan and Clement found is not of any research value, but it's fine if they're not afraid of angering Ningguang.

The teacup that Tianquanxing Ningguang drank from must be worth quite a bit of money.

Wanyan and Clement blamed each other, each pointing out the other's faults.

Wan Yan was unhappy that Klement kept talking about selling money.

Clement was equally dissatisfied with Wan Yan's unprofessional level.

Wan Yan: "See? You just want to sell it for money!"

[Clement: "So what! Isn't it better to do both research and make money? Why be so rigid!"]

Wan Yan: "You! You're completely obsessed with money!"

[Clement: "You're the one who's been digging up artifacts all day; your brain must be full of dust!"]

After arguing for a while, the two decided to head to their next destination—the Salt of the Earth.

This is the former territory of the "Salt Demon God," the demon god who was 'assassinated' by the Emperor.

In reality, Lin Qiu is in the salt of the earth.

He had already spoken with Yun Jin and made arrangements for Funina and Navia.

After settling them in, Lin Qiu arrived at the place where the Salt God was sealed.

"Little Qiuqiu, this time I'll show you your 'resurrection technique'!" Hu Tao followed behind Lin Qiu.

When Hu Tao learned that Lin Qiu was going to resurrect a second demon god, she insisted on going to see it.

"You have to watch it whether you want to or not, since I can't watch it." Lin Qiu shrugged.

Unlike Gui Zhong, Heulia was not familiar with the immortals, so she did not come along this time. Lin Qiu could only bring Hu Tao with him.

"Let's see if we can succeed this time." Lin Qiu wasn't too sure either.

Heuria was sealed later, and it's estimated that a lot of the demon god's remnants spilled out. It's unclear whether the remaining amount in the seal is enough for her to 'resurrect'.

Just like Zhongli said in the book, to break the seal on the salt in the earth, it needs to be done in a certain order.

[Zhongli: "Southward to Tianheng, eastward to Yaoguang, westward to Jueyun, northward to Qingce."]

Breaking the seal requires lightning element, so Lin Qiu spent four thousand emotion points to exchange for a lightning element.

After breaking the seal, Lin Qiu and Hu Tao entered the ruins. Lin Qiu made a hand seal, and the remnants of the demon god within the ruins gathered around them.

Hu Tao followed with a grin, occasionally helping Lin Qiu guide the residue by performing hand seals behind his back.

Lin Qiu thought he was getting better and better at his immortal arts, and not a single trace of it had leaked out.

When it comes to dealing with the remnants of the demon god, Hu Tao is an expert, with a family tradition of skill.

Returning to the book, the first thing the characters did after entering the ruins was to sign a contract.

Zhongli: "Please sign a contract. The contract states: 'Take items in sequence, one item at a time.'"

Clement and Wanyan both disagreed; one wanted to keep it for himself and make money from it, while the other felt that it was something belonging to their own god and should not be desecrated.

Zhong Li stated that he would no longer serve as a consultant if a contract was not signed.

Upon hearing this, Clement and Wanyan had no choice but to agree. They were both fake archaeologists; without Zhongli, they would be lucky to survive, let alone find treasure.

After this contract was signed, it felt more like 'grave raiding,' with the spoils being divided up in advance.

The group discovered a series of "statues" inside the ruins, all encased in salt.

The statues, which seemed to be fleeing or begging, added a touch of eeriness to this archaeological trip.

Wan Yan: "This, this is... a 'statue'?"

Zhongli: "No. They are human."

"These people are probably followers of the 'Salt Demon' from back then."

Wan Yan listened with deep concern. How could the followers of the Salt God have turned into statues? Was it Morax who did it? Or... no! No, Lady Heuria wouldn't do such a thing!

In real life, Hu Tao also noticed the problem and frowned, "Xiao Qiuqiu, these statues... look like real people."

After buying the book, she went to find Lin Qiu and then gave the book to Gui Zhong. She hadn't read the story inside; she was able to discover it entirely through intuition.

“Yes, it’s the real person, a follower of the ‘Salt Demon God’.” Lin Qiu nodded.

"What! Could that 'Salt Demon' be some kind of monster that sacrifices its people?"

Hu Tao's question is also the question that people who are reading at this moment want to ask.

The people of Liyue unconditionally trust the Emperor, so in their eyes, the "Salt Demon" is the culprit behind this scene.

“No, that’s not it. Heuria is a very gentle goddess, which is why I want to ‘resurrect’ her,” Lin Qiu replied.

She continued, "She was better suited to live in a gentler era, not in that age of demonic war."

Hu Tao nodded, relieved that it wasn't some evil god, and continued to help Lin Qiu guide the remnants.

Since Lin Qiu wasn't with the others, they could only continue reading to find out the answer.

The group of people in the story found a salt cup, a salt cup that always contained half salt.

Salt is a wonderful thing, and this salt cup is like an endless supply of salt. Clement immediately expressed his desire for this treasure.

Then they found a ruler, and as long as they inserted the ruler into the ground, salt would gush out continuously.

This seems even more powerful than the salt cup... but according to the contract, this salt ruler belongs to Wan Yan.

Clement was very unhappy about handing the treasure over to Wanyan. He felt that he had paid for it all himself, and it would be a huge loss for him to give the treasure to Wanyan.

[Zhongli: "So, you want to break the 'contract'?"]

Look at these keywords: breaking the contract in front of the God of Contracts.

[Clement: "So what if it's destroyed? I've pretty much figured out the mechanisms in these ruins. So, you're useless now."]

As winter approached, people couldn't help but marvel at Clement's 'bravery,' thinking that even the Queen might not dare to break her contract with the god.

Is it true that ignorance is bliss?

Zhongli: "The Rock King once said, 'Once a contract is made, those who break their word will be punished by being devoured by the Rock.'"

[Clement: "That is your Liyue god. I come from Winter Solstice, I..."]

Zhongli didn't want to say more, "The 'Punishment of Eating Rocks,' you'll experience it for yourself... it won't be easy."

As winter approaches, we're all ashamed. Dude, don't drag us into your bragging!

You can say that in winter, but if you say it in Liyue, which Liyue person wouldn't want to punch you?

Wendy, having 'enjoyed' the experience, simply smiled and remained silent.

Chapter 126 Salt Flower

Although Zhongli said that, he had no intention of doing it himself, as that would be too much of a rip-off. In the end, he let the traveler do it for him.

In the end, Clement not only got a beating, but the salt cup he had obtained was also confiscated.

It's like paying money to get a beating.

However, the people of Liyue were happy to see this, as they now quite dislike the Fatui.

"This Fools' Clan really is a comedy organization!" Araki Kazuto asserted.

"It's a pity that the old man didn't do it himself this time," Wendy sighed, lamenting that the other man couldn't 'enjoy' it like she could.

In the story, after Clement left, Zhongli revealed the truth about the team: none of them were actually there for archaeological purposes.

Clement was looking for treasure to sell for money, and Wanyan wasn't an archaeologist either; she was only after the "Salt Demon God".

Upon being exposed by Zhongli, Wanyan admitted that she was actually a descendant of the people of the "Salt Demon God".

Morax was the culprit who assassinated their god.

[Wan Yan: "Morax assassinated our god! He was jealous of the power of the 'Salt Demon God,' causing us to be displaced!"]

The appearance of Salt God followers in the Rock God's hometown is like a script where Order followers appear in a cult.

When Wan Yan spoke, everyone was completely baffled.
