Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

At this point, Tian Tiezui sighed, "Ah, speaking of this, I can't help but think of the Rock King, who has protected Liyue for thousands of years! It is because of his protection that the people of Liyue have not fallen into this plight and can enjoy eternal peace!"

For a while, voices of agreement continued to ring out. This was probably the habit of Liyue storytellers and even most Liyue people. They always liked to bring up the topic of Prince Yan from time to time to express their devout faith in him.

“…” Seeing this, Zhongli just drank his tea silently. No one knew what thoughts were hidden under his calm expression.

"Perhaps the Scarlet King couldn't bear to see his people reduced to such a plight, or perhaps someone happened to have a great opportunity. In this turbulent era in the desert, a divine messenger suddenly appeared!"

At this point, Tian Tiezui's tone became a little excited, and many listeners who were familiar with his style knew that something big was about to happen.

If that was true, Tian Tiezui took a deep breath and for a moment he talked like flowing water, and the wonderful story unfolded from his mouth.

"This divine messenger received a divine gift from the Scarlet King. She couldn't bear to see the Scarlet King's people scattered across the desert, and couldn't bear to see the people of the sand, who were supposed to be one family, fighting each other. But she also understood the root cause of the so-called problems that led to the current situation in the desert—"

"—The root cause of the desert chaos is naturally that there isn't enough food for everyone to eat, and there isn't enough water for everyone to drink. If we don't solve these problems, no matter how much we talk, it's useless!"

"The Red King's divine messenger summoned the people of the surrounding Sand Tribes and made a promise to them. He promised that within five years, the entire wind-eroded land would be transformed into an oasis."

"By then, the people of the Sand will no longer have to endure the scorching sun, the bitter cold, or worry about lack of food and clothing. Their children will even be able to live a better life like the Sumeru people in the forest!"

"You readers probably don't understand how big that wind-eroded land is. Let me explain—it's equivalent to seven Liyue Harbors!"

"The Red King's divine envoy possesses divine knowledge bestowed by the Red King. She used this knowledge to concoct a potion that can grow plants even in the desert. Under her leadership, the surrounding clans are united, working together for a common ideal and striving for a common goal!"

"To solve the desert problem, we need to change the desert environment. To change the desert environment, we need to mobilize manpower to plant grass and trees. To turn the desert into an oasis, we need to plant grass and trees on every piece of land."

Tian Tiezui explained briefly, and then reiterated the size of the entire wind erosion land - 7 Liyue Harbors. If one wants to improve the entire wind erosion land into an oasis, it is necessary to plant grass and trees equivalent to the size of 7 Liyue Harbors!

What a massive undertaking this would be! What a magnificent spectacle it would be! For a moment, the audience was stunned—the promise the angel had made was within five years.

Even in a land like Liyue, planting a forest the size of seven Liyue Harbors within five years is already a huge project, not to mention the harsh desert mentioned by Tian Tiezui!

"The Red King's envoy convinced the people of the Sand with her promise, and under her leadership, the people of the Sand stood up. They fought against the wind and sand, the poisonous beasts that lurked in the desert, and the intense heat and cold."

"And hard work pays off. After more than a year, they've already planted a quarter of the wind-eroded land with vegetation—that's nearly two Liyue Harbors!"

For a moment, those who were interested in the situation calculated that according to this progress, it would be enough to complete a plan the size of 5 Liyue Harbors within 7 years. In contrast, other people were more concerned about the word "now" mentioned by Tian Tiezui.

What does this mean? It means that what Tian Tiezui said was not a fabricated story, but a real thing that is happening, which is even more shocking.

"I think many viewers have already realized that the story I told is not groundless. It is a true story that actually happened in the neighboring country of Xumi!"

"I, Tian Tiezui, have rarely truly admired a single person in my life. The Rock Emperor counts as one, the Seven Stars who govern all of Liyue count as a few, and this Crimson Divine Envoy counts as another!"

"But the story of this divine messenger is not over yet. I hope you will not be impatient and listen to me continue to tell the story——"

Tian Tiezui opened and closed his folding fan to comfort the audience. In the past, he would have told such a story in several sections, but this time he broke the norm and told it in one breath. Although many of the audience were quite curious about its authenticity, they still sat down and continued to listen to Tian Tiezui's story.

The various small events that Tian Tiezui then narrated greatly satisfied the audience's desire to explore this messenger of God, from wiping out the enemy overnight, to dealing with the bandit problem with a heavy blow, to the name of the messenger of God resounding throughout the desert, and to the establishment of the so-called "Labor Day."

Compared to the Labor Day, when most listeners were still focusing on the interesting stories about the gods' messengers, Zhongli, who had remained silent, opened his eyes. His eyes, which would not stir up any ripples even if a mountain collapsed before his eyes, now emitted some light. He could not help but turn his head slightly to look in the direction of the Sumeru Desert.

Labor Day - a holiday to commemorate the vast majority of ordinary working people. Compared with poems and stories praising heroic legends, this holiday commemorates many ordinary people who are often unknown. For a moment, Zhongli only felt that he could see the purpose of the God's creation of this holiday through the meaning of this holiday.

Perhaps... promoting this festival in Liyue will also help the people of Liyue to become independent and eventually break away from his protection and move towards an era that truly belongs to them.

——As for the time of this promotion, let’s set it at the “Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals” half a month later.

Chapter 81: A century-long pursuit

"That's the details. From now on, I'll leave it to you to prepare the medicine."

At the Shayeh clan's headquarters, Amber handed the booklet containing the method of preparing the medicine to Zodik, who took it solemnly.

"Thank you for your trust, Lord God's Messenger." Zodik knew very well what this meant. The formula in this booklet was of utmost importance. Although Amber no longer needed to use it to maintain the cohesion of the alliance - her existence itself was the main cohesive force, but this formula still needed to be kept confidential.

There is still about half a year of observation period for the Upper Wind Erosion Land. During this period, the Shayih clan will be responsible for the medicine there, and Zodik has no complaints about this.

The Wind Erosion Land has made remarkable progress under Amber's leadership, and the benefits brought by her decisions are obvious to all. Compared with those benefits, the price of following the leadership of the Chi Nian Clan is nothing. Some clans in the Pillared Sand Plains, the Thousand Valleys Sand Land, and the area further north want to join but have no chance yet!

"I have a lot of things to do, so I'll leave first." Amber said goodbye in a hurry. Although this kind of thing could be handed over to someone she trusted, in order to examine the loyalty of the clan leaders on the spot, she decided to come alone, which could be regarded as a semi-surprise inspection.

The result was gratifying, and no one had any disloyalty - probably because she brought so many benefits, and the current coalition had common interests and no parasites.

Zodik sent Amber to the entrance of the Shaykh clan's road leading to the lower wind erosion land, and watched her slowly go away, feeling quite emotional.

Amber walked to the corner, and after confirming that there was no one around, she transformed into an eagle and quickly rushed towards the Chi Nian clan's headquarters.

The speed and vision of the eagle form are truly outstanding. It flew a long distance in just over ten minutes. Its eyes can see very far away. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look, but Amber suddenly discovered something unusual in her vision.

In the distance were date palm saplings and tamarisks planted in an orderly manner, surrounded by many Sand People, and some tents in the area covered by the rock wall. As they advanced further and further, if they worked from sunrise to sunset as usual, now it would take half the time just to go back and forth.

So Amber changed the plan and adopted a two-shift system. The Sand People who went out to work would stay directly on site and bring enough food and saplings. After planting this batch of seeds, they would return to the clan as usual. This cycle would last about three days and two nights, and then another team of Sand People would take over. The two-shift rotation system could greatly speed up the process.

If we advance further, we can adopt a three-shift system or appropriately extend the work cycle.

According to the previous arrangements, the people of the Sand would steadily advance their work under the protection of the Shield of Ahmar, but now they are fleeing in all directions, looking for places to hide, while the Shield of Ahmar is holding a shield in one hand and a sharp knife in the other to confront a strange relic dragon beast.

After officially recruiting Kusela and his team, Amber equipped them with standard weapons, one-handed shields and sharp knives, considering their daily mission requirements. Considering the cost, these equipment are not elemental weapons. Only those in the hands of Kusela and several key members have the blessing of elemental power.

At this time, Kusela held up his shield and stared at the Ruins Dragon Beast vigilantly. The other members of the team and Kusela formed an encirclement of the Ruins Heavy Machine and could advance or retreat.

They did not rush to take action, but instead attracted the attention of the Ruins Dragon Beast to themselves, buying time for the surrounding Sand People to move away - otherwise, accidental injuries would be inevitable in the subsequent fight.

Ruin Draco is an autonomous machine that can occasionally be seen in ancient ruins. There are many similar species, but this one called Ruin Draco is relatively rare. It has firepower that is difficult for the most common ruins guards to achieve. In a nutshell, it is a walking war fortress.

It's no wonder that Kusela and the others were facing a formidable enemy. If this relic dragon beast suddenly fired at the hiding people of the sand, it would be disastrous.

Compared to ordinary Ruin Draco, this one is very strange. It has many parts on its body that seem to be unnecessary in design. Ruin Draco is divided into two types: ground patrol and air patrol. As the name suggests, they are ground units and have flying capabilities. In comparison, air patrol is more difficult to deal with. It has heavy firepower, such as energy bombs similar to machine gun fire, and can also launch a series of tracking missiles like the Ruin Guard.

Seeing this scene, Amber didn't care about disguising herself anymore. Although she didn't know where this relic dragon beast came from, the situation was critical and there was not much opportunity to explore the cause. She had to solve the problem quickly.

"Damn it! Where did this thing come from?" On the ground, Kusela gripped his shield tightly, alert to any movement from the Ruin Draco standing some distance in front of him. His heart was in his throat. If they had encountered something like this normally, they would have run away long ago! Flesh and blood fighting this iron lump? It was simply a fantasy!

However, behind them were ordinary Sand People who needed their protection, so they could not escape. Moreover, they were now numerous and powerful, and he also had elemental weapons in his hands, so it was hard to say who would win or lose.

The relic dragon beast did not make any attacking moves. It continued to move forward towards the Chi Nian clan. Every step its huge body took would cause a vibration. The rumbling sound seemed to knock on the hearts of the group, and they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The guards moved according to the movements of the Ruin Dragon Beast to maintain the encirclement. Although they couldn't understand why the Ruin Dragon Beast had no tendency to attack, they couldn't guarantee that it could maintain this momentum.

Kusela could catch a glimpse of the saplings and tamarisks that were trampled to death as the Ruin Dragon Beast walked, but just a few hours of hard work was wasted.

"Chief, let's hide!" As Idrisi spoke, Kusela's eyes changed in an instant, revealing a fierce fighting spirit.

"Okay!" With this signal, the shield in Kusela's hand was covered with a layer of rock elemental light. He rushed towards the relic dragon beast and released the rock elemental power at one of its legs at once.

It was as if a directional bomb was detonated. The blast was accompanied by a huge thrust, hitting the legs of the relic dragon beast. It immediately lost its balance and was about to fall. Kusela felt relieved and the sharp blade in his hand was wrapped in the light of the wind element.

But things did not go as planned. Kusela originally thought that this Ruin Dragon Beast had a malfunction because it was walking on the ground despite having a flying device. But now - it flew up, and Kusela's plan to defeat the Ruin Dragon Beast was ruined.

With Kusela's previous attack, the Ruin Dragon Beast also truly revealed its intention to attack. The steel wings on both sides slowly flipped over, and the shooting holes on them began to gather energy.

"Everyone on alert!" Kusela gave an order, and the guards present quickly moved around and dodged with their shields. Kusela also held up his shield and prepared to resist the impact, but he never expected that there was a figure faster than them.

With an eagle's cry, the agile bird swooped down on the relic dragon beast in the air, and transformed into a human form in mid-air. The human form held a double-headed warhammer in his hand. The warhammer was not long, but the hammer head was not small. There was a layer of rock elemental brilliance on the metal hammer head.

As the elemental power was released at once, the rock element exploded above the head of the Ruin Dragon Beast. The force was so strong that the sweeping shot originally aimed at Kusela deviated from its direction and almost caused the Ruin Dragon Beast to fall.

But the attack was not over yet. The humanoid stomped hard on the Relic Dragon Beast, adding to its falling momentum and throwing an overload reaction bomb in the air. As the humanoid landed steadily on the ground, the bomb exploded, surging flames and huge thrust came out together. The Relic Dragon Beast could no longer maintain its flight and fell heavily to the ground.

The hammer, whose elemental power was released all at once, lost its brilliance. It would take some time to charge the energy before launching another attack like this. The human figure pointed suddenly, and surging lightning descended from the sky, bombarding the fallen Ruins Dragon Beast.

The lightning also revealed the identity of the newcomer. The nearby people of the Sand who were watching this place widened their eyes. What did they see? They saw an eagle transformed into the form of a divine messenger, and with lightning speed, it struck down the threatening Ruin Dragon Beast!

A cloud of mist suddenly appeared beside the messenger of God, making it impossible to guess how many magical abilities she had.

"Hu..." Following a deep breath, Amber moved again. The war hammer turned into golden particles and poured into her palm. At the same time, two sharp blades were tightly grasped in her hands. Water streams composed of elemental power were wrapped around the blades. Amber swung the two swords quickly while the relic dragon beast had not yet stood up. The water streams drew arcs in the air, causing direct damage while reacting with the residual thunder elemental power on the relic dragon beast's body.

The stimulated electric current wrapped around the iron body of the Ruin Dragon Beast, hindering the operation of its body components and greatly delaying its attempt to stand up.

As the last two swords were slashed together, the water elemental power on the two swords was also exhausted. When Amber made these two swords, he chose a design that could output considerable elemental power intermittently and stably. As it was stimulated, the surging water flow could drive people's arms, making the attack more rapid.

At the same time as the two knives were put away, the dagger originally used for assassination appeared in Amber's hand. As Amber took a few steps back, the wind elemental power in it was fully activated. The wind blade slashed towards the relic dragon beast, and a diffusion reaction occurred with the remaining mine elemental power on its body. A huge scar appeared on the relic dragon beast again, and some traces of the raging mine elemental power also appeared in the surrounding hemispherical area.

If it were an ordinary relic dragon beast, it would have been paralyzed by now, but this relic dragon beast still stood up. Its pair of steel wings were scrapped, but it still had a tail that could be used for attack. As the relic dragon beast twisted its body, Amber knew that the attack was coming, she did not choose to dodge, but instead held up a shield with both hands that could cover most of her body.

This shield also chose a similar design to the two swords. The rock element is the most stable element, which can withstand the damage and impact of the attack to the greatest extent. Even so, Amber was pushed back half a step by the swift tail attack of the Relic Dragon Beast. Seeing this, she threw another overload reaction bomb from the side of the shield. The bomb once again paralyzed the Relic Dragon Beast for a moment, and the impact force that also affected Amber was completely blocked by the shield.

Amber waved her arm to put away the shield, and taking advantage of the paralyzed moment of the Ruin Dragon Beast, a heavy crossbow similar to Ashanti appeared in her hand. Amber half-knelt on the ground, using this posture to resist the recoil of the heavy crossbow to a certain extent.

The relic dragon beasts have their own weaknesses, and they usually will intentionally protect their weaknesses, but the current paralyzed gap is obviously not one of them. As Amber pulled the trigger, the bow arm caused the crossbow string to tighten rapidly, and the armor-piercing arrow pierced the dull core on the chest of the relic dragon beast. The huge recoil also made Amber's body tremble violently.

The core was pierced by a crossbow arrow, which completely cut off the energy source that maintained the relic dragon beast. According to past experience, it should explode. Amber signaled the surrounding people to retreat quickly.

Kusela was so shocked by the lightning-fast continuous attacks that he was speechless. He knew that the messenger of God was very capable, but he never thought he was so strong in combat. Kusela had never seen such a flexible fighting style of using various weapons in anyone before, and today was an eye-opener for him.

At Amber's command, they retreated quickly to avoid being affected by the possible explosion, while Amber grasped the hilt of the long sword that usually hung at her waist to deal with possible unexpected situations.

But after waiting for a while, the relic dragon beast in front of him showed no signs of exploding. Even though Amber used her perception, she could not detect the energy flow explosion that should have occurred.

Just as Amber was about to announce that the matter had been resolved, the relic dragon beast suddenly fell apart, as if it had been dismantled by a skilled master, or like a chain of dominoes collapsing, and everything happened within three seconds.

Amber's eyes narrowed, and she sensed a mechanical energy reaction, located in the pile of parts. As Amber pulled out the sword, the true form of the energy reaction was revealed - it was a small machine similar to the Ruins Cruiser, but Amber could see that it did not have any attack components, but instead had artificially added metal components that could be used to grasp objects.

The machine was still moving towards the direction of the Chi Nian clan. Kusela and his men felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and were about to rush forward, but were stopped by Amber's words.

"It doesn't have any components that can be used for attack. You arrange for your tribesmen to continue the work, and leave this matter to me." Amber put the sword back into the sheath. Kusela and others thought for a moment and nodded. Since this sentence came from Amber, it was highly credible. Although Kusela also had a lot of questions at the moment, now was not the time to raise questions.

Amber watched the cruiser moving forward quickly, her eyes flickering. Although machines should not have any human-like emotions, Amber felt a human-like "desire" in it, as if it was chasing something.

It would be a pity to destroy it like this. I might as well follow it and see. Amber thought so and transformed into an eagle again and followed closely.

The surrounding Chi Nian people looked at the transformation technique of the messenger with amazement. They came out of their hiding places and started working again under Kusela's organization.

Chapter 82: Letters Beyond Time

Amber was flying at low altitude in the form of an eagle, closely followed by the patroller below. The patroller was very fast and had a very clear target. When it approached the Chi Nian clan, Amber changed back into human form and signaled the guards on the watchtower not to be nervous.

The arrival of the relic mechanism at the Chi Nian clan attracted a lot of attention for a while, but with Amber following, it did not cause any panic. After arriving at the commercial district, the patroller slowed down, as if it was "looking" for something.

"Huh?" The voice came from Farusan. She had just signed a contract with the branch president, Kale. After that, the Mora would be transferred to her name. She was originally immersed in the joy of being rich, but she never expected to see a "familiar face" when she went out.

"...Tamimi?" Falusan widened her eyes, she was quite unbelievable, and quickly came to the side of the patroller. The patroller called Tamimi by Falusan seemed a little excited when she saw this. As the space in the center of its body opened, four letters were found inside.

"Teacher Falusan, you called it Tamimi just now?" Amber's eyes changed a little. The memories outside of this world that she kept did not contain any information about these things. She really did not expect that the target of this cruiser was Falusan.

"...Yes." Falusan looked a little depressed. It was hard to imagine that she was so cheerful just a moment ago. She held the four letters in her hands, and the new signatures were stinging her.

"...I'll take you to a secluded place." Amber sighed when she saw this. She didn't quite understand what was going on, but the sudden sense of loss in Falusan's heart was not fake. She could ask about the details later, but the current task was to take Falusan out to relax.

"Yeah." Farusan responded simply. Amber patted her shoulder gently and led her towards a rock wall. Tamimi also followed quietly behind them.

In the middle of the journey, Farusan looked at the letters, and for a moment, an expression that she couldn't describe appeared on her face. It seemed to be melancholy, and a little regretful, mixed with many unknown emotions, but one thing was certain, she was quite painful.

Amber was sure that the problem probably lay with Tamimi - to be precise, it was with the letters Tamimi brought, but it would be inappropriate and offensive to read those letters rashly.

Amber didn't ask, and Farusan didn't want to say anything. She was just thinking about something and followed Amber silently. This atmosphere continued until Amber arrived at her destination.

This is a towering rock wall. You need to take a detour to climb up it, but standing here you can see far away, and you can also see the surrounding green landscape. The wind without any sand or dust blows across your cheeks. Amber has always felt that such a place is most suitable for relaxing.

Falushan stood here, silently looking into the distance, looking in the direction of the rainforest, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. Amber knew it was best not to disturb her at this time, so she observed the cruiser called Tamimi.

The cruiser does not reject amber. Its current mood has become "peace of mind". This machine with emotions is truly strange and unusual.

After careful observation, Amber discovered many problems that she had not discovered before. This Tamimi seemed to have signs of "overclocking". Its core mechanism was the "rehabilitation mechanism", an ancient technology that surpassed any current technology. The machine created by the rehabilitation mechanism had a self-maintenance consciousness and could replace parts and perform maintenance on its own, just like a person would treat himself when he was injured.

As for that "overclocking", it was like Tamimi was connected to something, controlling something. Considering the previous Ruin Dragon Beast, Amber could only think of one possibility. Tamimi used various parts to strengthen herself to imitate the form of the Ruin Dragon Beast. However, maintaining this should be a huge load for it. If it continues for a few more years, it will probably be almost scrapped and there will be no possibility of repair.

How long would this process take and how long would it last? Combining Falusan's own experience of being trapped in the ruins for a hundred years, Amber had a vague guess.

But she still didn't ask, instead she changed the subject: "Faroshan, Tamimi's body is in a very bad condition. Let me help you with some repairs."

One of the ways to get rid of bad emotions is to divert attention. Amber found something for Farusan to do in the name of Tamimi, and Farusan readily agreed.

"...But, you don't have the tools with you now, right? Let's go get them together?" Falushan took a deep breath, as if she wanted to spit out the chaotic emotions. Amber just reassured Falushan after hearing her words, and then golden particles appeared from Amber's hands, condensing into various tools.

This is not shaping, but the storage function of the mark of the Eye of Ahmar. The Red King did not explain it in detail at the beginning, so Amber discovered this function after a while - the function that Ah Ji was able to enter was also discovered because of this.

Unfortunately, Ah Ji was not with her at the moment. She was reading in the library. If she were here, with her eloquent personality, she would be able to relax the atmosphere a lot.
