The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage
Chapter 129 Golden House
Things are very delicate now for fortune tellers.
It is said that villains will ruin their own victory because of their sweet talk, and the fortune teller seems to be the same. He told Luomu the truth about Liyue's ghost fog, which gave Luomu the opportunity to solve the power of the Black Abyss clans from the root and gain new power.
So now, this fake Salt God who was planning to impersonate the Rock God should probably thank Kong for ignoring the agreement and releasing the Demon God Osel. Otherwise, this crisis with loud thunder but relatively little rain would have been reduced to a level that could be handled by manpower. Not only would he not be able to "succeed to the throne", but the Seven Stars of Liyue might also lose their trust among the people because of this war. By that time, even if he could find a way to replace the Rock God and intervene in Liyue forcefully, it would probably not have much good effect.
But the question now is: not to mention how Kong released the still sealed Osel, can he really defeat the demon god who is so powerful that he can control the ocean?
At this time, the fortune teller did not know that the strange fog resentment that he was proud of had been mostly absorbed by Luomu as a tonic. He still thought that the Black Abyss army was still pressing towards Liyue's mainland with great force, but he did not know that with Luomu's secret help, Ningguang and the warriors had pushed the front line back to the port again. Moreover, as the resentment became less and less, there were fewer and fewer snake people who could make up for it.
Twenty thousand undead snakemen may sound like a lot, but if they are scattered across the entire coastline, that’s just the number. The best evidence is that Ningguang and Keqing can already start arranging rest and treatment for the warriors.
This battle, which had started out so brutally, ended so... anticlimactically? Ningguang was also somewhat surprised. She wasn't expecting the snake people to organize another attack that could destroy the country, but...
Isn't this too hasty?
Where's Osel? Where's the Whirlpool Demon? He was so arrogant when he first appeared, but when he arrived, he just stood there like a pillar and didn't move! Are you here to spread the wind?
Not long ago, the sharp-eyed Ningguang saw several streams of light rising from Yujingtai and heading straight for Qun Yu Pavilion, which had the best angle to fight against Osel. She already knew in her heart that the immortals really stood on her side, silently guarding Liyue in the dark.
Their lack of presence in public is the greatest support for the rule of man in Liyue. Sometimes, the greatest encouragement to a successor is to disappear from the crowd of supporters and be forgotten.
Therefore, she opened all the restrictions of the Jade Pavilion. When the immortals arrived at the Jade Pavilion, what they would see was an unguarded aerial fortress. All facilities, all functions, all secrets... were open to the immortals. This was Ningguang's sincerity to the immortals.
Although it is unbelievable, but... the little guy named Luo Mu seems to have really convinced them.
…………
Back to the Golden House.
Under the huge and magnificent atrium, the golden Mora dyed the lights covering the whole house with the smell of copper. Even though they were made by the Rock Prince Morax himself, the Mora as a trading object could not escape the vulgarity and became the embodiment of sin that carries desire and greed.
The fortune teller stood in front of the huge black and gold dragon head placed at the end of the golden house. He had a solemn expression, and his thin hand gently rested on the huge dragon head of the Rock King's immortal body. Between his fingers, ochre light mixed with bright silver kept flowing like a lively meteor.
He was trying to use the Salt God's divinity to stimulate the reaction of the remaining immortal power and elemental power in the Rock King's immortal body, allowing the corpse to become active for a moment. In this moment, he could graft the two concepts of himself and the Rock King together, and use the activity of the immortal body to deceive any possible warnings and successfully take over the immortal body.
As for his human body... the fortune teller has already put on the clothes and equipment of the Fatui vanguard stripped from the puppet. The Fatui of the Winter Kingdom will rush to the Golden House and forge the illusion of snatching the Heart of God, providing an excuse for the "resurrection" of the Rock God. His human body can be mixed in with the Fatui and disappear happily...
And if the failure is discovered... the fortune teller can put all the blame on the Fatui, and his own identity will still not be exposed.
But the problem now is...
"There's no way to revitalize Emperor Yanwang's immortal body, is there?" A careless voice sounded behind the fortune teller. Hearing this voice, the fortune teller took a deep breath. He turned around with a fake smile that did not hide its hypocrisy at all, and saw Kong who looked like he deserved a beating, and a cold-faced man he didn't recognize.
"Let me introduce you to the Abyss Priest." Sora pointed at the man beside him and said, "He is responsible for the communication between you and me and the Fatui, as well as the monitoring of the creation of the strange fog."
The cold-faced man nodded slightly, as a greeting to the fortune teller.
"Aren't you here to watch a show? What are you doing here?" the fortune teller asked bluntly. When the plan reached the last step, there was a slight flaw, which made him a little uneasy.
Kong smiled and said casually, "I just suddenly remembered something. To awaken the immortal body of Emperor Yan, you need one more thing." As he spoke, Kong spread out his palm, and a golden chess piece was floating in his palm. It was a rook in chess. Even at a distance of several feet, the fortune teller could still feel the power in this chess piece that seemed to overturn mountains and seas.
This is the Heart of the Rock God. I don't know why it fell into the hands of the Abyss.
"You know, I made a deal with Rock God," Kong ignored the fortune teller's murderous look and said slowly, "I persuaded him to give me the Heart of God, and in return, I will do something for Him at a corresponding price."
"One of the things is that I have to ensure the safety of Liyue for him." At this point, Luo Mu suddenly turned around and grabbed the God's Heart of the Rock God: "But now I feel that letting you become the Rock God is the biggest threat to Liyue."
The fortune teller stood there silently, motionless, his eyes constantly drifting towards the door of the Golden House, as if he was expecting something.
No one came, neither from Zhidong nor from Liyue.
Kong obviously noticed the look in the fortune teller's eyes. He said softly with a tone of contempt, "I wishfully thought that you would not want our intimate conversation to be heard by outsiders, so," he snapped his fingers, "I took the initiative to isolate the Golden House with divine power."
"Use the power of the Rock God." He added finally.
"So, now everyone thinks that the person in the Golden House is the Rock King who is reviving or something like that." Kong continued to talk to himself: "If in the end, it is not the Rock King who returns, but a liar like you, what do you think this is?"
The fortune teller stared at Kong intently. He felt an unprecedented distress, as if he was completely controlled by this seemingly young boy.
He even anticipated that the fortune teller would frame the Fatui, so he kept his ally, the Young Master, out.
"What exactly do you want?" The fortune teller finally spoke.
He was only one step away, and he could get rid of the embarrassing and ridiculous identity of "the historical projection of the fortune teller" and become the god of a country. Moreover, without the constraints of Sky Island, he could do whatever he wanted without any taboos! Only one step away!
The key to this step lies in Sora's hands.
He is not willing!
"I want you to be completely loyal to the Abyss." Kong said, "I can make you the Rock God of Liyue and let you rule this country, but I want you to absolutely obey the Abyss!"
Upon hearing Kong's request, the fortune teller's expression froze. For a moment, he seemed to be enduring something. Finally, he couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into laughter.
"My God of the Abyss," he laughed, pointing his finger at Kong's calm face and shaking his finger, "You, what's wrong with you? I admit that you have caught me now, but you haven't won to this extent, right?"
“There’s still a war going on outside!” The fortune teller suddenly stopped smiling, and a hint of ferocity suddenly emerged on his bookish face: “You can’t do anything. The Rock God is dead. Without me, do you really want Liyue to be massacred?”
"Oh, so you want to use this to threaten me." Kong nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I can't stop those members of the Black Abyss, but..."
"Who told you that Rock God is dead?"
After saying this, in the stunned expression of the fortune teller, Kong held up the Heart of God in his hand. He stretched out a finger and tapped lightly on the Heart of God.
"Morax, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Kong muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a very ferocious roar was heard outside the Golden House. The sound was like a dragon's roar, containing the power of a deep-sea whirlpool that could tear the ocean apart. The roar from just four heads made people feel as if they were in a deep sea with undercurrents surging and dangers lurking everywhere, making them feel suffocated.
Hearing this roar, the fortune teller's expression became completely dull. He slowly lowered his head and looked down at the boy who was standing below him but seemed to be getting taller and taller.
"So... this is your arrangement!"
