Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 388 "Punishment" and "Truth"

Gan Lin no longer had any expectations for this person's head, and Paimon, who was held in her arms, held her hand comfortingly.

"This... does look like something left over after the defeat."

Zhongli had no intention of participating in such a discussion. He thought about it carefully and looked at Wan Yan.

"The two broken swords are, from an archaeological point of view, two cultural relics. According to the contract of 'taking the objects in order, one piece at a time', you can only take away one of them."

"Why, why? Although it is said that the objects are taken in sequence, Clement has already..."

Seeing this, the four-person group, as melon-eaters, understood why Gan Lin had stopped Aina from using his skills just now.

Zhongli nodded: "Yes, but one item at a time is still valid. It is not possible to take away two cultural relics at the same time."

At this time, Paimeng had no intention of interceding for Wanyan like in the plot. Now she was holding the green dumpling handed over by Gan Lin and eating happily.

I can only say that he is worthy of Paimon. Even after eating Mao's delicacies, he still has the appetite to eat dessert.

"No! If you only take half of it away, there will be no way to repair it, and there will be no way to regain the power of the Salt Demon God..."

After thinking about it for so long, Wan Yan finally said this: "No matter what, for the sake of my faith in her..."

Wanyan raised her head with a firm expression: "Even if it means breaking the contract, I won't hesitate..."

Zhong Li raised the corners of his lips, and so did Gan Lin: "Have you made up your mind? Then, there is a price."

"This means that you have to bear the punishment of eating rocks."

Gan Lin looked at it happily: "Of course, the punishment of eating rocks this time will not be to leave a corpse."

Zhongli nodded: "...If that can lead to relief, it might be an easier way. But..."

He looked at Gan Lin who was smiling the happiest person: "As punishment, I will tell you the truth."

Wanyan didn't react when she heard this: "What?"

"Hahaha, the truth you want has come~" Gan Lin was a little excited while holding Paimon, which made her reach out and pat Gan Lin.

"The truth? Are you telling me the truth as punishment for me?" Wan Yan opened her eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, the fact you will hear next is the price for breaking the contract."

Zhongli still had a calm expression: "Unfortunately, the Demon God of Salt, Heulia, is not a powerful Demon God."

"On the contrary, she is too weak - too accommodating and too weak. There is no way she can ascend to the position of the Seven Gods - the loser."

Gan Lin felt so happy and Wan Yan collapsed: "What did you say...?!"

Zhongli didn't care what this human being thought: "During the Demon God War, the demon gods in the world used all their strength and wisdom to fight for the continent of Teyvat."

"But Heulia chose to escape. She believed that as long as she gave up before the fight happened, the war would never affect herself and her people."

"However, in the long years of war, there will be no end to concessions."

"In the bottomless concession, Heulia lost all the land, leaving only the last shelter."

Wanyan shook her head crazily, denying everything she heard, just as she denied the power of Morax: "No...no...it's impossible..."

Zhongli watched helplessly and gloated as he listened to all this: "In her last moments, she didn't even have a weapon that she could raise to protect her people."

Wan Yan looked at her side: "You don't even have a weapon? But, this sword..."

"Yes, this broken sword is not Heulia's relic, but the murder weapon that killed her." Gan Lin answered excitedly.

"The murder weapon...?"

Just like she denies the current history of Liyue: "No, this is false, everything you say is false, you want to confuse my faith in gods!"

Aina raised the bouquet in her arms expectantly: "Would you like to come and see the scene here a thousand years ago?"

Zhongli crossed his arms: "I said, I only state the facts." Just like explaining the whereabouts of the first Mora, it's a pity that double-standard human believers don't care about this.

"That's unreasonable! You...you are also a believer of Morax, don't try to lie to me!"

Hearing this, Gan Lin laughed even louder. In addition to "I understand Prince Yan better than Prince Yan", this "Morax is a believer of Morax" is also quite explosive and funny.

"I'm laughing to death. What's the point of lying to you, an ugly and poisonous person? You move your head that has been trampled by slimes. If it was really the Rock King who assassinated Heulia, it would still be of use. Are you leaving all of you burdensome people who believe in her waiting for you to slander him?”

Seeing Wan Yan running away in anger, Aina laughed out loud: "Hey, I'm a little bit looking forward to what she will see later."

"You don't need to make any preparations for this release?" Gan Lin excitedly lifted Paimeng and spun around in circles, and jumped to Zhongli's side: "Good fight! I finally feel comfortable!"

"Will this have a big impact on her?" Ying asked with some trepidation.

"It's okay. She was hit even harder after seeing what happened here before. Maybe what Zhongli said was just an appetizer~"

The flowers in Aina's hands emitted a gleaming white light, and it seemed as if she could still hear the faint ringing of a bell: "It will last about half an hour. We can rest for a while before going to find her."

Zhongli shook his head: "After all, this is punishment. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to tell such a cruel truth."

Gan Lin spread his hands: "I don't think it's cruel. She didn't think she was cruel when she slandered you before. Sorry, I admit that I have double standards, so I hate her."

"...You are really... Let's go deeper. It's not safe for her as a girl." Paimeng was still a little hesitant. After all, this is a secret realm and Wanyan is a girl.

"No, no, no." Aina waved her hand: "In this half hour, she will go back to the 'past' and watch everything happen with her own eyes."

"It doesn't matter even if you don't look." Zhongli walked out anyway: "Because there is something right in front of her that makes her have to accept the truth no matter what."

As we walked forward, the statue became more and more exaggerated, as if it was running away from something.

"These statues...are they running away?" Paimon observed for a while: "What else is ahead?"

"It's salt, and betrayal." Zhongli replied as he walked away.

Not long after leaving, Wanyan was leaning against the salted statue opposite the door. She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Zhongli checked and said, "Well..."

Ivan sighed: "Finally I have a chance to sit down and rest."

Zhong Li nodded. There was nothing wrong with Wan Yan's condition. According to his perception, just as Aina said, this person would wake up automatically in half an hour.

Because the soul was no longer in Wanyan's body, it naturally fell asleep. Aina transferred it to the body of the murderer who killed Heulia, and she would witness everything.
