Genshin Impact: Past Events in Dust Rock

After telling Barbatos some key information, Gui finally declined Barbatos' invitation to the cocktail party and said that he had to rush to other rulers to borrow the Heart of God for research.

And our Morax said that if he saw Barbatos being idle again, he would give him a good beating no matter what.

Barbatos shrank back at Morax's words and made a promise.

So, the two of them left Mondstadt under the gaze of the God of Wind.

Continuing north, the two passed through Jingfu Port and saw a vast expanse of white snow wherever they looked.

The dazzling white snow indicated that the two were about to fly out of Mondstadt and into the realm of winter.

"How much do you know about this Ice God?"

Taking advantage of the time on the road, Gui finally found the time to ask Morax.

After all, during the Demon War, Liyue had no intersection with the war on the ice field.

Although under Guiliji's powerful intelligence system, Guizhong was able to collect some scattered information about some demons on the ice field.

But after the Demon War ended, Gui finally went to the Dark Sea Monkey and never had any contact with the Ice God of Winter as a representative of Liyue.

Morax, as a colleague, had quite a lot of contact with him.

Therefore, it is necessary to learn more about the God of Ice from Morax first.

"Well... he is a demon god obsessed with war and a respectable warrior." Morax thought for a while, summed up his past memories with the God of Ice, and concluded.

"Martial arts fanatic?" Gui Zhong tilted his head in confusion. "It's not surprising that such a guy can win the Demon God War, but I'm afraid he will suffer a lot in governing the Kingdom of Winter, right?"

"Now that you mention it, there is a demon god beside that guy..." Morax continued to tell her about the Ice God according to Guizhong's words, "a demon god who is good at governing the territory."

"Their relationship is somewhat similar to ours." Morax added at the end.

"Two gods rule together?" Gui Zhong was a little surprised by Zhidong's governance model. "Can the Maintainer agree to this?"

"It's just similar. The other demon god chose to strip off his demon power and stay with the Ice God as a follower." Morax explained, "The other party's strength was not strong to begin with, so it's not important to Zhidong."

"So that's how it is..." Gui Zhong nodded casually, not knowing what he was thinking.

The land of flying birds and poems behind me gradually faded away, replaced by endless white snow.

"To establish a human kingdom in such a harsh environment without the help of the demon god..." On the way, Gui Zhong muttered to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Without the protection of the demon, it's difficult to survive anywhere in Teyvat," Morax thought.

"Don't underestimate humans." After hearing what Morax said, Guizhong did not refute directly, but just whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Morax's thinking has been solidified by the environment of Teyvat, but Guizhong, who has memories of more than one world, does not think so.

And even if we only count Teyvat, there is also a special human kingdom like Kanreya.

"What?" Morax seemed to hear Guizhong mumbling something.

"Nothing, let's go." Gui Zhong smiled and shook his head.

"Okay." Without doubting Guizhong's words, the two continued to fly forward.

……

"A powerful aura appeared in the winter."

Inside a palace made of solid ice, a figure who had been sitting for a long time, rarely stood up from the throne made of smooth ice.

"Who is it?" Not far from under the throne, a beautiful figure slowly walked out.

"Hmm..." The Ice God closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then opened his eyes, "An acquaintance, Morax."

"Why does he come to my Winter Solstice for no reason? Is he looking for a fight with me?" The God of Ice seemed unwilling to think too much and only wanted to fight.

"Although the Rock God is powerful, he is not a warlike person." The lady under the throne denied the Ice God in a gentle voice.

The God of Ice has supreme power in Solstice, and no one in the entire Solstice dares to question his authority.

"Then tell me, why did he come to me for no reason?" However, the God of Ice did not show any impatience in response to the denial of the person in front of him.

He would not suppress her ideas with force as he did with others.

Throughout the winter, she was the only one who had such a right.

"Based on what I know about this Rock God, an unannounced visit must be an urgent matter."

"It seems that you think highly of the Rock God." The Ice God laughed, "Similarly, I think highly of him too."

"If he hadn't rejected my invitation to compete with me, his score would have been even higher." The God of Ice added.

“From past interactions between Zhidong and Liyue, I can tell that he is a trustworthy person,” she explained to the figure on the Frozen Throne.

This person has been in charge of Dongzhi's diplomacy.

"Okay, there's no point in guessing, let's just go and meet him." The God of Ice waved his hand and made the decision.

“Don’t be too radical later. This will not do any good for Zhidong.” Under the throne, a pair of resentful eyes looked at the God of Ice.

This kind of thing seems to have had some negative effects on Zhidong.

"Hahaha. I'll pay attention. I'll pay attention."

Although the Ice God made such a promise, she still felt that he did not listen to her words.

No, I can’t say I feel that way.

With her many years of experience, some troubles were inevitable.

After all, he hadn't fought for a long time since the Demon War.

But for the sake of Zhidong's diplomacy, he had to do it.

This is undoubtedly a torture for a warrior who is eager to fight.

"Oh." After a long sigh, she still followed the God of Ice, ready to go and meet the guests who came from afar.

"I hope the incident won't be too big this time."

She seemed to have anticipated the trouble that was about to happen.

Who made him the god of Zhidong?

……

"My Emperor, can we find a place to rest for a while?" In the snow, Gui Zhong rubbed his hands and complained while looking at Morax standing upright beside him.

"After all, it's our sudden visit, so it's better this way." However, Morax did not accept Guizhong's suggestion and still stood there.

It is worth mentioning that the two are now on the border of winter.

In such a harsh environment and such a remote location, we naturally cannot expect to find any human habitation.

"Also, don't tell me that you're still afraid of the cold with your current physical condition." Having said that, Morax looked at Guizhong.

"Oh, that's not what I meant." Gui Zhong, who was exposed by Morax's words, continued to speak without blushing, "It's not pleasant to have the snow fall on me."

Morax was speechless, but used his divine power to form a barrier to prevent the snow from falling on the two of them.

"You..." Gui Zhong was extremely speechless about Morax's straight male behavior.

Then, he used his magical power to knead the snow on the ground that was taller than a person and began to build a snowman.

Not long after, a life-size snow sculpture in the form of a Morax appeared at the spot.
