Original God's Dark Priest

Silence, infinite silence and tranquility, this was the only feeling Safire had.

In fact, the feeling of death is not bad, but the process of death is too painful. Saphir is a dead person, and after her body completely lost its functions, her spirit was completely emptied, and the low moan of the abyss that echoed in her mind all night also disappeared.

All along, she had only been able to numb herself by ignoring it, but she knew that this was only temporary and she could not avoid the abyss forever.

In the absolutely quiet unknown time and space, Saphir completely relaxed. She didn't know if this was the world after death, but she came here after her two deaths.

She just took it as it was.

She could feel a force forcing her into a deep sleep. If people came here after death, then sleep would be their final destination.

But she had another choice.

She stretched out her hand and looked at the mark on her palm. This was the blessing of the archangel. As long as she wanted, she could start to revive at any time.

But she was a little worried. What if the abyss did not disappear after her resurrection?

The feeling of worry did not last long. She quickly composed herself and began to return. When her mind was withdrawn from this unknown space, a gentle female voice kept ringing in her ears.

She knew that those were Egolia's mumblings, about justice, about God's throne, and about the truth of this world.

The Adventers cannot let others know their real names...

Saphir suddenly understood why Ying, who was clearly an adventer, still fell into the endless cycle of reincarnation, because Ying and Kong had revealed their true names from the very beginning.

She didn't know how to describe her current mood. In order to escape from the abyss, she lost a lot. Now she just felt empty in her heart, indescribable emptiness, but she didn't have time to feel sentimental about anything. There were still many things to do.

A white spot of light appeared on the dark curtain, and it approached her rapidly, getting bigger and bigger, and finally formed a place similar to a passage.

"It's time to go back." With a sigh of relief, Safir left here completely.

"Her heartbeat... stopped." Veronica hesitated, "How could this happen? She was apparently getting better just now..."

Zhongli said nothing, but just held Saphir's hand tightly and pressed it against his forehead. There was still some warmth in Saphir's palm, but there was no pulse at his wrist.

Zhongli knew that she was dead, but he was not very sad because he knew that Saphir had the ability to resurrect. It was the case when he fought against General Thunder before. This was just a fake death.

But even if you know it in your heart, it is still hard to accept when you really see this scene. This girl is good in every way except that she is too stubborn. Zhongli thought so and took a deep breath.

Only then did he realize that his breathing was trembling. He had not experienced this feeling for a long time.

"Heulia, do you know why Boss Phil did this?" No matter how others called him, Zhongli always regarded Veronica as the original Salt Demon Goddess Heulia. "If we talk about closeness, you are the one closest to her. She can't hide it from you, right?"

Veronica knew this, of course, but in her opinion, Saphir's condition was still stable and it wouldn't be a problem for it to last at least another three to five hundred years.

For the immortal species, there is no age limit in their lives. Sometimes, hundreds of years pass in a flash. These three to five hundred years are indeed pitifully short, but there is no need to resort to such extreme methods.

However, Saphir did just that. She went to gamble her life with the will of the abyss that had eroded her. Veronica didn't even have a chance to persuade her.

Decisively, he drank the deadly dew drop.

"Yes, I know her situation. Ever since I met her, her condition has not been optimistic, but she has been suppressing it all the time and has never erupted." Veronica calmed down completely and recalled everything that happened before.

She always felt something was not harmonious, as if something was missing.

Zhongli closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice: "When I first met Boss Phil, I also confidently checked her condition and concluded that with her physical fitness, it would not be a problem for her to hold on for more than ten or twenty years. Later, she transformed and became a demon god. I think that would allow her to hold on for more than five hundred years.

I firmly believed that in five hundred years, I could find a way to help her solve the problem no matter what I said, but I overlooked one thing. "

He held Saphir's hand and began to apply a little force, "Aru. We didn't realize that the years spent there were real to her."

"So...she actually doesn't have time anymore." Veronica exclaimed. Everyone subconsciously ignored the years with Aru, but she knew Saphir's body clearly.

During those years, the poison of the abyss never stopped corroding her. What seemed like only a day or two to others was actually five hundred years for Saphir.

Zhongli squeezed Saphir's hand tighter: "That's why I'm risking everything."

At this moment, a slight inhalation sound came from above his head. After a slight surprise, Zhongli immediately raised his head and met the girl's star-like eyes.

"You hurt me." Saphir felt the force coming from her palm, and the slight stinging sensation made her extremely sure that she was still alive. Or rather, alive.

Zhongli gritted his teeth, wishing he could use a little more force. This guy did such a dangerous thing without saying a word, and now he was still in the mood to say these things. He really wanted to teach him a lesson.

But seeing the smile on the other person's face, he couldn't say the words of blame after all. The original question came to his lips, but it took a turn and became: "How do you feel now?"

“I’m fine.” Saphir let Zhongli hold his hand, sat up, and stretched his neck. “I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time. It’s like I’ve suddenly become five hundred years younger!”

"Silly, you are only in your twenties." Zhongli raised his hand, tapped Saphir's forehead lightly, and said angrily.

Saphir was not angry after being scolded by Zhongli. He laughed and said, "You can fool others with these words, but you can't fool yourself."

As she spoke, she jumped off the rock and stretched. The primordial water was indeed dangerous, but it also helped her a lot. She raised her right hand, which had turned red from being pinched by Zhongli, and with a thought, a clear ball of water condensed out.

"The power of the water element?" Zhongli frowned. He didn't expect that Saphir had accidentally controlled the water element.

But Saphir shook his head and denied this statement: "This is not a pure water element, but a substance similar to the original water. Its function is very simple and can purify the energy of the abyss. And it is not as dangerous as the original water.

If we add this…” As she spoke, a glimmer of light flashed across her left hand, and she injected it into the water ball. Soon, the small water ball held in her right hand turned into a brilliant golden color. “Look, after the power of healing prayer is integrated, it becomes a special medicine.”

Zhongli's eyes flashed with hidden excitement: "Can it cure the erosion of the abyss?"

"The effect will naturally not be that overbearing, but it will definitely be effective for people with mild symptoms. As for those who are severely eroded, they can only take it for a long time and slowly adjust their condition." Safire said very conservatively. The effect of this ball of water is definitely better than what she said, but it has no side effects. It will be better for the patient if the treatment cycle is extended.

Zhongli nodded silently upon hearing this. There were also people in Liyue who were eroded by the abyss. The miners in the Stratum Chasm would more or less come into contact with this kind of thing.

If it is only a trace amount, the average person can still withstand it, but once it is a little more serious, people will go crazy. Therefore, there are people in Liyue Harbor who have lost their sanity due to the erosion of the abyss.

"Should we go back and find someone to try out the effect?" Zhongli thought of this, and Saphir could naturally think of it as well, so she suggested.

Zhongli was thinking the same thing, but he hesitated: "It's a good idea, but... it's not appropriate to make a big fuss about it at this time."

The Abyss is conscious. If the Abyss knew that Liyue had the ability to heal this erosion, the consequence would most likely be disaster. Zhongli naturally would not let this happen.

Saphir did the same. She walked towards Liyue Harbor, thinking about what to do. After thinking for a long time, she expressed her idea: "Let's focus on the effects of calming the mind and replenishing qi, and sell it in Bubulu."

"People who are eroded by the abyss tend to be irritable, and the effect of calming the mind and replenishing qi is suitable for this symptom. It's a pity that even though there is a solution, we can't act rashly. It's really a pity." Zhongli sighed. In fact, he couldn't wait to promote this thing to all of Liyue, but he was worried that doing so would attract the attention of the abyss.

Saphir shrugged, somewhat helplessly: "After all... Liyue doesn't have Resurrection Vision, and can't fight the Night Watcher War."

The Night Watchman War is a unique means of the Fire Nation's Nata to fight against the Abyss. As the country at the forefront of resistance against the Abyss, Nata is in a state of war all year round. This information is no secret among the Fatui.

As an executive, and an executive who was ordered to contact other gods, Saphir had already learned about this information, so it was not surprising that he knew some information about Nata.

After hearing what Saphir said, Zhongli looked a little strange and asked, "Are you doing all this to pave the way for going to Nata in the future?"

Saphir looked up at Zhongli beside him and chuckled, "That's partly why, but the main reason is that I don't have much time left."

"I'm sorry, I haven't noticed it all this time..." Zhongli felt a little guilty. He had sworn several times in his heart that he would protect the girl in front of him no matter what, but he put her in danger again and again.

Saphir shook his head and interrupted him: "This is not your fault, Zhongli. I should have told you many times that I am the continuation of Hagentus' life, but I am not completely Hagentus. I attach great importance to my own martial arts, so I am not someone who is willing to be protected by others.

In your opinion, does Hagentus need protection? From the perspective of strength, you have always been arrogant. You think you are strong, so you naturally think you have an obligation to protect others.

But... have you inadvertently overlooked one point, that you are actually equal. In terms of contribution to Liyue, she is no less than anyone else. When Guiliji was in danger of being annihilated, even though she was weak, she still chose to stand up and resist.

Morax, thousands of years have passed, and you still don't see clearly. Whether it's Hagentus or me, we have never been able to grow under shelter. We are not flowers in a vase.

Hagentus died in a conspiracy. No matter how much protection you put in, it was useless. This was his damn fate. In this Liyue, there is no ghost named Hagentus blaming you. You are just living in your own guilt. "

The two chatted casually and moved very fast. Before they knew it, they were almost at Liyue Harbor. When they were about to enter the still bustling port, Saphir suddenly stopped and said in a light tone: "Zhongli, tell me more about the interesting things in Liyue Harbor when you have time. It's very interesting."

"…it is good."

After some consideration, Safir finally did not choose to return to Xumi immediately. After all, no matter how exciting the affairs of other countries were, they were ultimately not as important as Liyue in her heart. She wanted to first see what effect the abilities that the Primordial Water could bring her.

If the effect is good, it will definitely be used in more places in the future.

After confirming these, she still had to go to the festival that Inazuma had promised Ying and the others to attend. Then there was the Lantern Festival. The recent period was filled with various festivals and activities. As a hidden workaholic, this really made Saphir a little distressed.

Alas, laziness, it is so lazy.

Arriving at the Rock Tea House, Saphir heard a dangerous conversation in a room from a distance: "Is that guy up to something weird again? What's wrong with her this time? Is she going to die again?"

"The Emperor has already gone there, so I hope nothing will go wrong." This is the voice of a young boy.

"Hmph, if she wants to die, let her die. I won't care about her! She's like this every time, committing suicide silently and making us worry. Just wait and see. This time, I will teach that girl a lesson she'll never forget no matter what!" The woman's voice sounded again, her tone full of anger.

Then a deep middle-aged male voice sounded: "Alright Liuyun, it's useless to brag here, sit down first, don't move around, it's giving me a headache."

"I can't sit still!" the woman roared, with the sound of slamming the table. It was obvious that the owner of the voice was extremely angry.

Saphir slowly lowered his hand that was about to knock on the door, then took a step back and whispered, "Zhongli, I suddenly remembered that things on Xumi's side are not over yet. I'll be leaving first. See you later."

After saying that, she wanted to run away, but unfortunately, Zhongli had already anticipated this and directly reached out and strangled Saphir's neck.

"Ah!" With fate strangled by the neck, even Saphir could not use invisibility to disappear directly. She turned her head slowly and instantly saw Zhongli's amber eyes shining with golden light.

The man had a cold expression, and seemed to have murderous intent, and his hands were merciless. The power of the seal was slowly operating, and as long as the girl made any unusual movement, he would attack instantly and suppress her.

Feeling all this, Saphir forced out a stiff smile: "Didn't we have a good chat on the way? Why are you suddenly angry?"

"In dealing with you, we originally planned for some of us to play the bad cop and some to play the bad cop. Now, I have finished my part as the bad cop." Zhongli finished speaking, and he took Saphir with him and stepped into the house, then shut the door heavily. "Next, it's everyone's turn to play the bad cop."
