Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God
Chapter 34: The War Between Demons Begins, All Immortals Gather
The original fragments have a tendency to converge, so the demons will conquer and devour each other.
But [Origin] has fallen after all, so most demons can negate the influence of the convergence of fragments. Even the weakest Salt Demon Heulia will not be affected by [Origin].
However, this situation may be changing now.
Today may be a turning point in the fate of Teyvat. The maintainers of Teyvat have launched a demon war to select a king of the mortal world. They have divided the entire world into seven battlefields based on the territories of the ancient seven kingdoms ruled by the seven kings before the original advent.
The Sky Island Oracle has already arrived, and the instinct of the [Original] fragments to converge has been infinitely amplified. All the demons born from the [Original] cannot avoid this war.
"The Seven Rulings of the World..." Feeling the message conveyed by the oracle, Morax fell silent.
"The influence of the [Original] fragments is growing..." Gui Zhong said as he felt the fragments in his body, "If this influence continues to deepen, all the demon gods will fight against each other for the throne. No demon god can avoid this war."
"In the end, there can only be seven demon gods who can truly live? What a cruel rule of the game."
Morax's usually calm expression showed a rare hint of anger.
He used the rules of the game to describe the war between demons described in the oracle. Because Morax, as the oldest demon, knew secrets that most demons were not aware of, he already understood the true meaning of the Maintainer's action.
Recover the [Original] fragments and select seven demons to carry the foundation of Teyvat - the power of the ancient dragons.
The Demon War is a "game" to select these seven demons.
"Guizhong, in your name and mine, we will gather all the immortals to Guiliji. Prepare for the war - the war of demons!"
……
Three days later, at Morax's palace.
All the immortals in Jueyunjian, including True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, True Lord Gechen Langshi, True Lord Minghai Qixia, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, and others, gathered here. After performing the transformation technique, they sat in the main hall in human form.
Morax sat in the chief seat, and on the left and right sat the Demon God of Dust, Hagentus, and... the Dragon King Rhodo who had transformed into a human form.
"All the immortals have arrived, so let's begin." Morax said, looking at the immortals in the hall.
"Are you sure you don't want to let the children join in?" Gui Zhong asked in a voice transmission. She was talking about the young man who was an immortal in the eyes of the people of Guiliji but was actually a demon god.
Morax shook his head and said, "In the past hundred years, you and I have repeatedly confirmed that He does not have any [Original] fragments, and He does not even have any connection with Sky Island."
"He is the demon god who theoretically should not exist, but was indeed born completely from heaven and earth."
"So the Demon God War has nothing to do with Him, and He has no reason to participate in it. Even if the laws of nature only allow seven demon gods to walk the world, He can be the only exception."
"Besides, if we allow Him to participate in the Demon God War, wouldn't the contract we made a hundred years ago be a joke?"
Gui finally nodded thoughtfully and did not mention the matter again.
"I have called you all here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you."
Morax opened his mouth, officially starting the meeting that would determine the future direction of Liyue.
Gui finally stood up and informed all the immortals present about the war between demons and gods in the most concise way.
"This is a war between demons. Even I don't have the confidence to escape unscathed." Morax said solemnly, "So I hope you can lend a helping hand to me and Guizhong."
"This is all voluntary. If anyone doesn't want to, they can just leave. Guizhong and I won't stop them."
Then, the two demon gods, Morax and Guizhong, sat down together and waited in silence for the answers from the immortals.
Although the immortals in Jueyunjian were on good terms with the two "people" and had regular interactions with them, in the face of the war between demons and gods, this friendship seemed insignificant.
The war between demons is no small matter. According to the oracle from the sky, only seven demons can survive and walk the world.
There are now more than seven demons, so many of them are bound to die in the demon war.
What Morax said, "There's no guarantee of escaping unscathed," was not empty talk; he truly believed that there was a possibility that he might die in the Demon War.
Even the Demon God has the possibility of falling, let alone the immortals in Jueyunjian whose abilities and strengths are far inferior to those of the Demon God.
Therefore, after discussion, Morax and Guizhong had already decided to let the immortals decide for themselves whether to join the war.
If they don't want to, they can refuse Yunjian, or stay in Guiliji and accept the protection of Morax and Guizhong. Morax and Guizhong will not stop them because of their friendship.
If you are willing, it means you will participate in the life-and-death war between demons and gods, and entrust your life and death to Morax and Guizhong.
So now the two "people" did not speak, so as not to let their words interfere with the judgment of the immortals.
Finally, the carefree Minghai Qixia Zhenjun stood up and said with a smile: "Could it be that in the eyes of the Emperor and the God of Dust, I, Minghai Qixia, am a coward who loves life and fears death?"
"When I was in Guiliji, feeling the atmosphere of the world, I met a friend who was much older than me. After a long conversation with him, I learned a famous saying from him: When the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact."
"Emperor, God of Dust, you two are not only the patron saints of Guiliji, but also the support of Jueyunjian. If you two fall, no one will be able to protect Jueyunjian in the future."
"So, if for no other reason but for myself, I, Ming Hai Qi Xia, am willing to follow you two and offer my humble help to you two."
Minghai Qixia Zhenjun was the first to set an example. The royal sister with long dark green hair closed her eyes at this time and said arrogantly: "It just so happens that this immortal has recently developed a new immortal mechanism and needs to find a monster to test it."
"I just don't know if this demon can survive the attack of the latest device developed by this immortal."
This is Master Liuyunjiefeng who is performing the art of shapeshifting.
"Since Guizhong and Liuyun are planning to join the battle, then I don't seem to have any reason to avoid it." Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, who looked like a girl with long light blue hair, chuckled, "Don't the three of us always advance and retreat together?"
All the immortals volunteered to fight, and in the end no one withdrew.
Morax and Guizhong smiled at the same time.
At this time, only the Dragon King Rudra had not yet made a clear attitude.
"Ruotu, if you don't want me to..."
"The thrones of the Seven Rulings were built with the power of ancient dragons, right?" asked the Dragon King Ruota suddenly.
Morax hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I guess, yes."
"The throne of Liyue should be made with the ancient dragon power of the previous generation of rock elemental dragon king." The Dragon King Ruota stood up and looked down at Morax. "It's not pleasant to think that the power that should have belonged to me was divided among other demon gods."
"But if it's you, Morax, who sits on that throne, then it's okay, considering that you let me see the light." The Dragon King and Morax looked at each other, "So since you have decided to join the war, then you must stand to the end."
Hearing this, Morax also understood what the Dragon King Ruota meant. He nodded slightly and said, "I will try my best."
"Give me some affirmation." The Dragon King Ruota sat down as if he was a little unhappy.
This Morax is obviously capable of confronting the ancient dragon head-on, but he is so cautious... The Dragon King Rota was a little speechless about Morax.
Now, all the immortals present, even Ruota, have expressed their attitudes, and as a result, no one has withdrawn.
"Since you are all like this, then come forward and sign a contract with me. I swear in the name of the Demon God that I will do my best to protect you." Morax said solemnly.
The immortals in Jueyunjian knew that Morax attached great importance to contracts, so without any hesitation, they made a contract with Morax to protect Guiliji.
The term of this contract is permanent. If Morax ascends to the throne, the object of this contract will be changed to the people of Liyue. In exchange for the contract, Morax will protect Jueyunjian until he dies.
"The contract has been made. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished by eating rocks."
All the immortals in Jueyunjian said in unison.
At this point, Morax, Hagentus, the Dragon King Rhodo and the immortals of Jueyunjian officially formed an alliance and became the most powerful force in the Liyue region.
After the contract was signed, the immortals returned to Jueyunjian and began to prepare for the impending war.
Morax and Guizhong, whose brows had been furrowed in recent days, showed signs of relaxing today.
"It's good news." Morax said with relief. It was impossible for him not to be moved when he saw that his old friend was willing to fight alongside him.
"With the help of Liu Yun and others, the pressure on you and me to protect the people will be a little less." Gui Zhong said with a smile.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, Guizhong took out something and handed it to Morax: "You will feel better if you hold this."
Morax took a look and found that it was the [Original] fragment.
"This..." Morax looked hesitant.
"I have the same idea as King Ruota. If I must choose one of the demon gods I know to ascend the throne, I hope it's you."
"At the beginning, I sought cooperation with you only because I saw that your strength was strong enough to protect me and Guiliji. However, after spending a long time together, I gradually felt that cooperating with you was really a very normal decision."
"I believe that if you sit on the throne of Liyue, it will be a great blessing for the people, Guiliji, and Liyue."
"So, Morax, with my help, ascend to the throne of God." The girl with long blue-gray hair smiled at Morax, then walked away with a smile.
Morax looked at Guizhong's receding back in silence. He could see that Guizhong's condition was not as good as it seemed.
The demon god was born from the fragments of the [Original], and if the demon god peels it off from his body, it is equivalent to cutting off a part of himself. Such an action will cause irreversible damage to the body and the demon god's power.
It can be said that from the moment he actively peeled off the [Original] fragments outside his body, Guizhong was no longer a complete demon god.
The Demon God of Dust, Hagentus, has no way of regaining his former strength.
Likewise, he also lost the qualification to compete for the Liyue throne.
She bet everything on Morax.
"Alas..." Morax sighed, "In this world, many demons and gods have risen up. Although I have no intention of competing with them, but..."
He clenched the fragment of the [Original] in his hand and said: "Such an important responsibility falls on me. Even if I have no intention of competing, I have to take it seriously."
The faith of the immortals in Jueyunjian, the recognition of the Dragon King Ruota, the suffering of the people of Liyue, and Guizhong's voluntary withdrawal, all these factors combined made the naturally indifferent Morax feel a little bit of fighting spirit in the war against the demon god.
Morax walked out of the hall and was about to return to his own bedroom to recuperate, when he met a "person" at the corner who shouldn't be there.
"Phemicus?!"
"Yo, Morax."
The young man with white hair and red eyes greeted Morax familiarly and said, "I thought you and Guizhong were just hiding something from me, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal."
"How much did you hear?"
Phemix stretched out his left hand, put a little distance between his thumb and index finger, and said to Morax, who was relieved, "Almost all."
Morax: "..."
It's still a little too early to relax.
"I came here because I sensed the presence of the big bird that didn't obey my orders. I just wanted to test whether she could still resist my orders. Then, I accidentally heard the whole process here."
"I don't really want to say anything else. Just give me one of the contracts you made with those immortals."
As he spoke, Phemix held out his hand to Morax.
"No."
Morax refused, "You are a natural born demon god. The demon god war has nothing to do with you."
"Is that so?" Phemix asked doubtfully, "But if I'm with you, you'll be more confident, right? I think my strength is still okay."
"When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken. I want to contribute to my own life."
Morax was silent. This was true.
A hundred years ago, Femix was able to suppress the top immortal, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.
A hundred years later, Phemix not only had elemental power much greater than before, but he also learned martial arts and magic from Morax and Guizhong respectively.
Morax can still conclude that Phoenix cannot defeat him now, but Morax can also conclude that among the demons or other creatures he knows, only the Dragon King Rota and a few demons can be Phoenix's opponents.
With such a strong force joining Morax's camp, the throne of the god in Liyue can be said to have been decided.
With the presence of three top fighters, Lord Rota, Phemix and Morax, the Morax camp can defeat all the demons in the Liyue region within three days.
But the price of doing so is that all the immortals will be sacrificed, and the top combat forces will suffer hidden injuries that are difficult to heal.
But it still cannot be denied that as long as Phemix joins Morax's army, the war against demons will become easier.
but……
"I once made a contract to protect you for the rest of your life. If I let you participate in the Demon God War, I would be violating the contract I made."
"The contract is complete, and those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks."
Morax said as he pushed Phemix's hand back.
"No room at all?" Phemix said disappointedly.
"I am not an inflexible person. If the situation becomes irreversible, I will seek your help. But before that, you should stay in Guiliji."
Morax said slowly, and then walked back to his chambers.
After getting Morax's promise, Phemix left with a smile on his face.
He never considered that Morax was already in a situation that was beyond redemption, so what would happen even if he was added?
