Zongman: A Traveling Journey Starting from the Supreme

As a demon god, Heulia's strength is too weak.

But her authority is extremely important to human beings.

If Heulia uses her authority to prevent other humans from producing the substance salt and can only obtain it from some meat, it will be absolutely difficult for humans to survive long and healthy.

It can be said that as long as Heulia is willing, she can completely monopolize this business. There is also a reason why the Kingdom of Salt was so rich in the past.

But Heulia dared not do that.

If one's own people can't get the substance of 'salt', other demon gods will naturally join hands to annihilate her, the demon god of salt, and her people in anger.

Heulia knew the pros and cons, so since the Demon God War started, she didn't dare to use her authority at all.

But if this is a peaceful age, this authority will be extremely important, and whoever controls the 'salt' can exchange for a large amount of Mora to promote economic development.

Now that he is helping Morax, Xixiang also has to think about those people of Liyue, and those people of Liyue have now become his people.

Perhaps in the future, the title Dijun will not only refer to Morax, but also refer to him, the Demon God of Entropy.

"Your authority is very important, Heulia... This authority is more important than imagined. It can bring a lot of wealth and promote the development of people's living and working in peace."

"...I think with your intelligence, Heulia, it's impossible not to see this."

This demon god is very smart. Although under her rule, the Kingdom of Salt is now weak and vulnerable, but this has nothing to do with Heulia, it is purely a matter of strength.

On the contrary, her seemingly ceding behavior (ahfi) is really the only way for this country to survive.

"But this authority has no effect in today's Demon God War, and it will only be hated by the Demon God."

Heulia sighed softly, being weak is a sin, and being weak is the original sin.

The weak side between countries has no room for resistance.

"The Demon God War is coming to an end, I will end this war with my own hands..."

"...Peace will come soon, Heulia. Soon this land will be like it was hundreds of years ago. The people live and work in peace and happiness, and people are happy and healthy."

Xixiang, who was sitting on the throne, leaned forward slightly, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Then I wish you success, and I hope you can stop this cruel war."

Heulia didn't make any mockery, but sincerely blessed her.

She hopes that the war will stop, and that peace will come. It doesn't matter which demon god wins. She only hopes that all these brutal wars will disappear.

"I will do it, so when this war is about to end and peace is about to come, your authority will become more and more important."

"...Morax is the god of contracts, and I like contracts too. Sign a contract with me, Heulia! I can protect you at the end of this war, so that you can live to the next era."

"Maybe you may not care about your own life, but you will care about the lives of your people."

"...Don't you want to see the peace after the war and see your people live and work in peace again?"

"You can't refuse, you can't refuse, since you have no land to cede to me, no Mo La to compensate me, then use yourself to replace all of these, become my property, and become compensation!"

Xixiang was carrying a long lantern, and he walked slowly and firmly in front of Heulia, looking at this beautiful and gentle demon god, he couldn't refuse.

"I……"

Heulia looked puzzled.

It is really Xixiang's behavior that does not conform to the thinking and actions of the demon god.

Even if Morax was here, even he would have pity on this demon god, and even he would know the role of Heulia's authority.

But Morax would kill him without hesitation.

Because the two sides are enemies and not friends, during this period of the demon god war, the demon god has long been affected by the "law of heaven", and their goal is the ruling throne, and there will be no hesitation.

Heulia found it inconceivable that someone like Saigo would persuade her to surrender and was willing to protect her.

How powerful is this demon god, to be able to overcome 'fate' and resist that terrible influence.

Of course, Heulia didn't know that Saigo was not the demon god of this world, and his birth had nothing to do with the island he went to that day.

Heulia was moved in her heart, and she wanted to agree, but she couldn't.

Because the thought of a small number of people who are unwilling to surrender and resist foreign enemies is coercing this demon god so that she cannot make a rational judgment.

Xixiang saw the predicament Heulia was facing at a glance, he laughed and said: "...I understand, Heulia!"

"...You are willing to sign this contract with me, but your citizens are not."

"It doesn't matter, since you are bound by the will of the people, you are bound by this country, then you just need to destroy this country so that there is no connection between you and the people."

There was chilling cruelty in Xixiang's words, and Heulia looked horrified, and she hurriedly shouted: "...What are you going to do?"

The gentle Demon God looked anxious, for fear that Xixiang's so-called destruction of the country would mean killing her people.

If this is the case, then what's the use of her compromise, which is not in line with her own purpose.

"Relax, I will not slaughter your people, I will make them completely disappointed in you, hopeless in you... only a few people will die, and I can save you from the abyss of despair. "

"...Let me use your strength, Heulia!"

Xixiang suddenly swung the lantern in his left hand forward, and as the wick in the lantern blazed, an irresistible suction like a black hole came from it.

Heulia groaned, she felt that her authority, her manipulation of elemental magic power was uncontrollably absorbed by that lamp.

And as Heulia's power was absorbed, the flame in the long lamp burned more and more vigorously.

Saigo raised his foot and stomped lightly on the ground, the power absorbed from Heulia spread out from the soles of his feet under the blessing of Saigo's own power.

With Xixiang as the center, the stone bricks under his feet turned into salt and alkali, and the speed of the spread of the salt and alkali became faster and faster, turning all the stone materials of this temple into salt in the blink of an eye.

The salt ground was still spreading rapidly, and the guards at the door shouted in fear and wanted to flee, but their running speed could not catch up with the spread of the salt. In the blink of an eye, these guards all turned into sculptures made of salt.

The salt ground continued to climb in all directions, and soon even the palace was turned into salt products, whether it was metal or wood, they were all turned into high-quality table salt.

Chapter No.17 Cut Yourself Indemnity

"what--"

The soldiers in the palace ran out of the palace screaming in horror, but the salt spread extremely fast, turning the entire palace into a sculpture made of salt in the blink of an eye.

Every soldier maintains a posture of fleeing and terrified, becoming a member of this sculpture.

After the entire palace was turned into table salt, the terrifying power of salt was still spreading outwards, gradually contaminating the last small city in the country.

It's just that the diffusion speed of the salt has begun to slow down at this time, as if giving the residents of the city a time to evacuate.

People scrambled, pushing each other and running out of the town. They only took the small items that were barely valuable at home, and ran out of the city amidst the pushing and crowding.

Standing on the high slope outside the city, the people protected by the Salt Demon God looked blankly at the hometown that had been completely turned into salt, and were at a loss for a while.

"What the hell happened? Who will tell me what happened?"

The people of the Kingdom of Salt couldn't help crying with grief in their hearts, knelt on the ground and howled endlessly~.

With the crying of one person, the atmosphere of sadness gradually became contagious, and I don't know how many people were sad - their faces were full of tears.

Somehow, a news gradually spread throughout the crowd, saying that the Demon God of Salt had fallen, and they had lost the god who protected them.

For a moment, the scene became even more gloomy, and everyone was bewildered.

Even those who had previously given speeches in the market, accusing the Salt Demon God of all kinds of wrongdoings, were silent at this moment.

Even if he once hated the cowardice and incompetence of the Demon God of Salt, he would cede land and pay compensation.

But when the demon god who had protected them for thousands of years fell, everyone still felt a deep sadness in their hearts, and felt a sense of powerlessness that they had been abandoned.

But people always have to cheer up. After mourning for a long time, someone finally suggested that they must find a new demon god to protect them.

In this period of the demon god war, in this period of coexistence of demon gods and humans, without the protection of the demon gods, human beings would simply not be able to survive on this land.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Salt had lost a large amount of land and population during the century-old Demon God War, and there are not many people left now.

The small number of people also has advantages, and there is no need to be displaced for a long time with bloated belongings.

Soon, under the organization of some prestigious people, the people of the Kingdom of Salt, just like the people of Liyue back then, left their homes and started their migration journey.

……

In the palace, Xixiang and Heulia stood silently like this for two days.

It wasn't until all her people left for migration that Heulia felt relieved.

"Before the Demon God War, in order to make a deal with Guiliji, you had a direct road to Guiliji, and now this road is also the way to survive for your people."

"...Now that many demon gods are hibernating to recuperate, there is not much danger along the way."

"After Guiliji, there will be Liyue's immortals stationed there. After knowing the purpose of these people, they will be escorted to the newly built Liyue Port."

"...How about it, Heulia, for you, this is already the best ending."

Xixiang held the simple long lamp in his left hand, and the flame inside flickered with a faint light.

He turned his head to look at the gentle white-haired Demon God beside him, and said slowly.

The nervous look in Heulia's eyes gradually subsided, and she smiled softly and softly: "...Thank you, Lord Zarathustra."

Saigo used means to forcibly cut off the connection between Heulia and her people. Although the connection was not completely broken, it was already extremely weak.

Many people in the Kingdom of Salt believe that the Demon God of Salt they believe in is dead. Except for a very few very pious people, most people's beliefs will soon disappear.

This is also thanks to Heulia's cowardly and incompetent performance during the Demon God War for a hundred years.

Because of her incompetence, the relationship between this belief is very weak.

So Xixiang felt that this Demon God was very smart, she was trying to stay away from her own people in this way, she knew that one day she would definitely fall in the Demon God War.

If those people believed in her too deeply, they might die in the war with her instead.

But if the belief in her is superficial, it is possible to believe in other demon gods to survive.

This is the love of the Demon God of Salt for his own people, the love of grief, the love that bets his own life.

"When they integrate into Liyue Port, it will take only two or three generations before the belief in the Demon God of Salt will disappear completely. The Demon God of Salt will become a strange Demon God, and it will become a memory passed down by people."

Saigo and Heulia talked about this cruelty.

Heulia didn't care, she just shook her head slightly and said: "...As long as my people can survive and continue to reproduce, I will be satisfied."

Xixiang stared fixedly at this amazingly gentle demon god, and sighed: "...you can think that is the best."

"...Let's go, Heulia, the Demon God of Salt has now fallen in the Demon God War. When the war is over and peace comes, it will be time for you to exert your authority again."

"I saved your people and gave you a way out. Now you are my family member, my property!"

"...This is your compensation for this 'war', and it is also the last time to bear the burden of humiliation, the last time to pay compensation for ceding land!"

In the long lantern held by Xixiang in his left hand, the candle inside suddenly lit up, and the light surrounded Xixiang and Heulia. When the light dissipated, the two had disappeared in this town that turned into salt .

0 ････････････････････････････････････

Thousands of years later, this place will only become a relic, and the Demon God of Salt will probably become one of the legends.

"As you wish, Lord Zarathustra!"

Heulia felt that Lord Zarathustra was actually as gentle as herself.

He even treats a demon god like himself so tenderly, following him may be the best ending.

……

In Liyue Harbor, sporadic candles ignited the darkness and brought life to it.

Morax, wearing a white hooded robe, just stood on a high ground, staring at the newly built city beneath his feet.

Several months have passed, and Liyue Port has already taken a prototype.

People in this era don't understand urban planning, so Xixiang gave a basic urban construction plan before, asking the people of Liyue to build this new city according to his blueprint.

 …  

After a few months, this newly-built harbor city is no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning, but in good order, and the division of each area is very strict.

"You are back, Zaratul."

Morax felt the fluctuation of the technique behind him, mainly because Xixiang didn't hide it from him.

The Rock Demon God withdrew his gaze from Liyuegang and turned his head. When he saw Heulia following Xixiang, he was also taken aback.

"Heulia?"
