Original God, but the real world

Chapter 110 109-Sharing the Money
There is no need to mention many things about the seal because they are of no value.

These seals have been here for so long, and countless people have tried them. After seeing them, everyone shook their heads and sighed, then turned around and went back home.

They may not know that this is a demon relic, but for a relic that needs to be sealed and protected, how could those scavengers and treasure-hunting group members not know that there are treasures inside?

It is precisely because the seal cannot be solved at all that this relic has been preserved to this day.

Heulia died at least two thousand years ago, and so many people have seen the seal in the past two thousand years, but the remains are intact.

It can be seen that this is not a problem with the person, but the level of the seal is too high.

Zhongli was able to crack it because his rank was higher, but if you ask him to explain how to crack it and why he should do so...ah, I don’t understand.

If students could understand and apply what the teacher says just by listening, this world would be crazy.

Jiang Qing was somewhat interested.

But he couldn't learn it either.

It's a bit too difficult.

I won’t go into detail about the seal, except that everyone opened the seal under Zhongli’s guidance and are about to head to the ruins.

"Tell me, is the truth of history really the same as what our ancestors recorded?"

Wan Yan suddenly asked.

Of course, she was asking about Jiang Qing.

Because we are all the same kind of people, all descendants of the followers of the demon god who were conquered by Morax.

The key point is that Jiang Qing is too similar to her. Everyone seems to be talking about how powerful the demon god they originally worshipped was, and then suddenly they were tricked by the despicable demon god Morax, and then everyone was forced to join Liyue... No, why are they all saying the same thing? !
Wan Yan was very confident at first, but she wavered after Jiang Qing showed up.

What Jiang Qing said was even more exaggerated than her. She was just looking for evidence. Jiang Qing had already made up his mind and even started to speak out in Liyue Harbor without any attempt to hide or restrain himself.

To be honest, Wan Yan felt at the time that this person must have been brainwashed by the records of the family elders.

She was full of sympathy, and then suddenly realized that she and Jiang Qing seemed a little too similar.

Will it? I mean it’s possible, just possible.

Maybe, in fact, everyone has been fooled by the elders in the family.

But Wanyan was smarter and calmer, and was able to notice that something was wrong.

And Jiang Qing has been fooled into a fool and completely believed the records at home?
The performance was over the top.

Jiang Qing looked surprised, "Of course it's true, why would you doubt this?"

"Why would our ancestors want to deceive us, their descendants?"

"If the truth of the matter is inconsistent with the records, they could just not write it down. In this way, nothing would be passed down, and you wouldn't be here today."

Wanyan thought about it and finally nodded.

That's right.

If Morax wasn't a despicable person, and Heulia wasn't assassinated by Him...then they just didn't need to write about it.

If nothing is written down and the people of Liyue at that time did not record it, then the matter will be over and naturally there will be no room for her to doubt.

Since you dare to write, it must be of some use, right?
"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Wan Yan sighed, "I thought I was a smart person."

She thought that everyone else was drunk and she was the only one sober, but what Jiang Qing said made sense.

This means that the other party is not a fool who has been fooled.

Of course, I am not the smart person who can see that something is wrong. I just think too much.

Jiang Qing was satisfied after giving Wan Yan enough courage.

Have to wait.

I started doubting myself before I even entered the door. Didn't I become numb after a while and couldn't feel the huge gap between reality and imagination at all?

This is not okay.

Zhongli sighed slightly.

Jiang Qing's fabricated character almost exhausted the little girl's confidence, but it was also he who encouraged Wan Yan to stand up.

But this is not a good thing.

If she realized something was wrong right away, she would actually feel a little relieved.

But Jiang Qing gave her courage, and after going back and forth, she became more confident in her original idea.

When your fantasy is shattered...you'll be unlucky.

People are always responsible for their own choices. She suspected that Morax had done something despicable and wanted to get evidence. It was her bad luck to be crushed by reality.

Zhongli had no intention of stopping him.

The Firefly Warlock was all smiles.

Wan Yan was the person they had brought in to act as a cover. She had not carefully reviewed the other party's information at first, but now she understood the situation after just a quick listen.

It will probably bring shame to the adults.

But it doesn’t matter.

She came here for two purposes, one was to apologize to Jiang Qing and try to cooperate, the other was to use Zhongli's ability to excavate a demon ruin.

Zhongli will show up, but it was Tartaglia who paid for him.

You have to get paid for spending money, and Dartalia is generous, but not stupid.

Zhongli couldn't pretend anymore.

These people call themselves archaeologists, but none of them has even the most basic awareness of protecting cultural relics.

"This should be an officially authorized archaeological work, but considering that everyone here has their own needs, it cannot be carried out as a normal work."

"The benefits of a ruin are always limited. In order to avoid disputes, how about signing a contract in advance?"

Although everyone has their own goals, the benefits are limited, so one always has to consider how much to take.

Rather than arguing over it, it is better to define the benefits in advance.

Of course, there will inevitably be problems of greed at that time.

But this time it's impossible.

The Thunder Firefly Warlock knew Zhongli's identity, and Wanyan did not have the qualifications to force herself on anyone.

"That's right." The Lightning Warlock did not refuse, "The Fatui don't mind sharing profits with friends."

"So what is the contract that Mr. Zhongli intends to make?"

Wanyan didn't refuse either.

The connections for the archaeological work were all made by the Fatui, and the other party had invited her and was willing to share the profits, so she couldn't ask for more.

"Forget it. I don't need the benefits here." Jiang Qing shrugged. "I have already got what I wanted. A person's luck is limited. Just think of it as accumulating luck for the next harvest."

Jiang Qing doesn't really believe in the theory of luck.

But even time travel exists, so it’s okay to believe in it occasionally.

Anyway, the treasures in this relic are of limited value to him.

"Then please sign a contract. The content of the contract is: take the items in order, one at a time."

This means that everyone relies entirely on luck and vision to judge good and bad.

There wasn't much of a dispute.

The attitude of the Thunder Firefly Warlock was not tough, and correspondingly, Wan Yan was even more gentle.

Jiang Qing and Zhongli did not participate in the profits, and the two people who worked did not want anything, so of course they had even less to say.

After the contract was signed, Zhongli officially began his guide work.

What caught everyone's eyes were the ruins and the sculpture-like human figures.

Wan Yan was caught off guard and subconsciously took two steps back.

She didn't expect that the first step into the ruins would be something like this.

"These are... statues?"

They were too lifelike, except that each one had an expression of fear or regret on his face.

It's too vivid.

"No, these should be believers of the God of Salt."

Zhongli did not hide it, "The power lost when the demon god died is far beyond what a mortal body can bear."

"This power does not depend on Heulia's will. When He dies, those ordinary people who are unable to stay away will be corrupted by His power."

"So I have a question," Jiang Qing suddenly asked, "The people of Liyue just bid farewell to the Rock King Emperor not long ago. Why was there no sign of this when the Emperor passed away?"

Jiang Qing seemed to be thinking about something. "To be honest, I later heard that Ningguang was not at all different from the witnesses."

"In theory, with the Emperor's strength, he shouldn't have died quietly."

Wan Yan's ears pricked up, and for a moment she no longer felt any fear.

She didn't know this secret before. Although there were records about the devil, they were always vague.

It's not the Riddler, but very few people are qualified to observe the demon up close.

Most of those who were qualified had no intention of leaving any record for the demon.

“Could it be that Lord Morax is too powerful, and that he has mercy on the people of Liyue, so between life and death he has controlled the loss of his own power?”

The Firefly Warlock cooperated and gave his own guess.

She also had a smile on her face, and she and Jiang Qing looked at Zhongli.

If the planner didn't go against the book, then Zhongli was certain at the time that no one knew this secret... Anyway, normally a demon god dies in a war, so everyone can accept some natural disasters and sequelae.

Right.

During that period, every demon god could cause some natural disasters. Who could have known that they would not let people rest in peace even after their death?

"I don't know the answer." Zhongli did not give a direct answer, "Maybe the answer is really as you guessed, or maybe there are more possibilities."

"These are stories that will be buried in history, and no one can tell them clearly."

Jiang Qing spread his hands and did not ask any further questions.

Wanyan seemed to be thinking about something.

If this is the case, then Heulia, who was unable to control her own power and dragged her followers with her when she died, was indeed not as strong as Morax, who was able to control herself.

That's not a problem.

After all, Wan Yan would not deny that Morax was stronger than Heulia.

Her focus is on Morax's sneak attack on Heulia. It would be even better if she could add that he was jealous of Heulia's powerful power.

As for whether it is powerful or not...there is nothing to argue about.

With Jiang Qing's jokes and the cooperation of the Leiying sorcerer, Wan Yan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The Firefly Warlock looked at Zhongli vaguely, and confirmed that "He" was not angry about this, and felt a little relieved.

She cooperated with Jiang Qing because she was trying to please Jiang Qing, and she also felt that a top demon god was unlikely to get angry because of such teasing.

But who knows?

Of course it’s best not to be angry.

There are no interesting treasures here.

Under the power of the God of Salt, all these believers fell to the ground and met their end.

But it's quite strange, even if the person died, why are some antiques and treasures gone?

Perhaps divine power can not only affect living things, but inanimate objects can also be destroyed by divine power.

Jiang Qing didn't care.

He was willing to come partly because of Zhongli, and the other part was naturally because he wanted to try out his current elemental power.

Whether it is elemental combat skills or elemental bursts, it is essentially a personal application of elemental power.

Jiang Qing did not have the foundation to develop, so the method he used was simple and crude.

The Eye of God lit up, and the lightning element slashed with great force, highlighting the characteristics of great power and flying bricks.

Zhongli looked at it and shook his head.

Rough, too rough.

Jiang Qing's situation was not surprising. All in all, the time he spent learning swordsmanship was almost the same as the time he had elemental power.

Before this, there was no need for him to develop in this direction, so it didn't matter if he was a little inexperienced.

[Such a powerful elemental force. ]

He holds this view, but the Firefly Warlock does not.

Her eyelids twitched as she watched, and she was shocked.

It seems... this person didn't have the Eye of God before coming to Liyue?

Jiang Qing’s previous information was also placed on the Fatui’s meeting table. This person had never learned elemental power or swordsmanship, but he actually had this kind of power.

She looked at Zhongli almost subconsciously.

In her impression, only the blessing of God can enable a person to achieve such a huge improvement.

The fools have become the world's model of quick success.

They use weapons and equipment made of expensive Mora and evil eyes to ensure that they can gain corresponding strength while kryptonian life. It is precisely because of this that among the middle and lower-level combat forces, the Fatui almost dominate the world.

How normal this is.

If they can't beat them, who can beat them? They are willing to spend money to build equipment, to hone their physique, and at the same time remain highly loyal to the Ice Queen. They are not afraid of losing their lives and are even proud of it.
A group of knights of Favonius who run on the piano? Or a group of shogunate samurai who tortured even the people of their own country to get money?

Jiang Qing is really optimistic about the Fatui.

They have money and connections, and the Fatui soldiers under them survive for the Queen's will. They hold the Evil Eye that can save their lives, carry high-tech weapons, and are all strong and sturdy.

Before taking action, they spent countless hours to clear the way. They had people in the high-level positions of the Knights of Favonius, the three magistrates of Inazuma cooperated with them, and the great sage of the Sumeru Institute of the Decree was also their partner.

Why can't the Fatui win when they have money and power while using despicable means?
Because of love and justice?
But the protagonist is Ying.

However, this world is a typical high-level martial arts world, and it is as easy for the devil to destroy a country as eating and drinking.

If Osel had not been stopped that day, the entire Liyue would have become a swamp within a few days.

For this kind of high-end military force, it doesn't make much difference whether the lower-level soldiers can fight one against ten or one against a hundred.

He should be killed by one stare, and he was killed by one stare.

Of course, the Thunder Firefly Warlock never thought that their almost mass-produced "weapons" could actually compete with the devil.

But just talking about quick success...why is this person faster than them!

Zhongli avoided the Firefly Warlock's sight.

There is indeed something special about Jiang Qing.

He was previously helped up by divine power. Logically, he should have stayed there for at least a year to digest the situation before he could have hope of further improvement.

As a result, when Zhongli turned around to look for him, this person had already crossed a threshold and reached a higher position.

Ying is indeed the most special one, but this Jiang Qing is probably not a normal person either.

“Finally there’s some profit.”

After almost passing half of the ruins, the archaeologists finally saw the first well-preserved thing.

This is a salt cup, which is filled to exactly half its capacity with salt.

"It looks like... it looks like just a salt shaker."

Wanyan looked at it carefully.

This thing is quite ordinary. If there is anything special about it, it is that it is placed in the ruins of the devil.

The Firefly Warlock didn't say anything.

She was used to seeing Wan Yan being corrected by Zhongli as soon as she opened her mouth, and felt that at times like this, it would be more appropriate to wait for Zhongli to finish speaking.

It doesn't matter if it's trash, but if it's a treasure, you must have a share of it.

"But after walking all the way here, only this [Salt Cup] is still there." Wan Yan made a patch, "This should not be an ordinary thing, but I can't see what's special about it."

She habitually insured her words to avoid Zhongli lecturing her again later.

“That’s right.” Zhongli’s expression remained unchanged. “The special thing about this half-full [Salt Cup] is that it will always be half full.”

He has given up the "as far as I know" or "I heard it somewhere."

At first, it's strange to hear such words.

After all, it is a place that has been sealed off thousands of years ago. How did you hear about the relics of the devil?
No matter how I heard or how I knew, it wasn't appropriate.

Wan Yan is a little dull, but at least she was able to work in the Eight Gates, so she is not stupid.

Secondly... these people just don't care.

There were four people in the group, but he was the only one who wanted to continue performing.

Even with Zhongli's level, the performance was still tiring.

"You can produce an endless amount of salt. Lady Heulia's power is indeed very powerful!"

Wanyan cheered up.

The point is infinity, not the salt.

Jiang Qing did not comment, and Zhongli said nothing.

"That's interesting."

The Firefly Warlock's eyes lit up.

But it's just fun.

Given the abilities of the Fatui, their archaeological skills are not low.

In other words, Liyue took advantage. There were too many demon gods entrenched here at the beginning, and everyone was fighting everywhere. As a result, there were not many problems within the borders of Liyue. However, there were too many remains of demon gods.

But this kind of thing is really of no use.

The Fatui's attitude towards Mora is that they need him, but they don't value him very much.

Pantalone is an exception, but no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for this rich man to have much interest in a salt cup that can only make salt.

"This is the first item." Zhongli looked at the two people who were dividing the money, "Who do you plan to take first?"
