I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

With a roar, the demonic sword slammed down. Although Heavenly Justice and the Demon were currently unable to unleash even a fraction of their full power due to various reasons, they were still no match for them.

In that instant, Ying felt the sky press down on her. Turning around, she saw the giant sword that seemed to tear the sky apart, and her pupils contracted slightly.

Gritting her teeth, Ying's feet unleashed a burst of blue wind, and she dodged the attack the instant she was hit.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the entire space trembled, and a canyon appeared on the ground—an enormous canyon that looked even more terrifying than the Wuxiang Blade Canyon.

Seeing Ying dodge, Tianli frowned, then suddenly swung his demon sword. With a flash of black light, a horizontal line appeared in front of him, then exploded.

Before her, a fan-shaped area of ​​land was destroyed, the resulting area spanning several kilometers.

Ying's figure was naturally obscured, but when the smoke cleared, they saw Ying staggering forward, carrying Wu Qiu on her back.

This time, Tianli was truly enraged. Looking at Ying, she waved her hand, and as the power spread out, sharp blades appeared in the air.

The sharp blades emitted a red glow, and at Tenri's command, they all fell downwards like raindrops.

Seeing this, Ying decisively turned around, raised Fenghen and her power surged, wind blades swirling around her and forming a blue wind shield.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Loud noises echoed continuously, and smoke rose. But when the smoke cleared, Tianli saw Ying lying on the ground with several light blades piercing her body, and Wu Qiu standing next to her, completely unharmed.

"Xiao, Xiao Qiuzi..."

Looking at Wu Qiu beside her, Ying tried to get up with difficulty, but her body was trembling. Clearly, she had reached her limit.

At this moment, Wu Qiu finally regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw Ying slowly and shakily stand up. Then, standing in front of him, she picked up Fenghen with trembling hands and pointed to the Heavenly Principle in the sky.

As justice drew closer, she showed no intention of sparing their lives. After all, if she killed them, the treasures would still be hers, so she wouldn't leave any potential threats behind.

"Sister Ying..."

Wu Qiu spoke, but felt extremely weak. What exactly was that demonic sword? After that power entered his body, Wu Qiu felt as if all his strength had been frozen, and even now, he remained very weak.

"Welcoming Winter".

Wu Qiu spoke in his mind. But as soon as he spoke, he heard Tianli say, "Stop shouting. How do you think you woke up? The thing inside you used all its strength to wake you up. Now, there's nothing you can do."

Wu Qiu's heart sank, but he still stood up shakily; this was the most he could do.

"Sister Ying, hurry up and go! You still have the strength; you might still be able to escape."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu placed the eyeball in Ying's hand. But Ying didn't take it. She glanced at Wu Qiu, then smiled slightly, "Little Qiu, you'll live well, right?"

"Ok?"

Wu Qiu was startled, then felt himself being bound. Looking down, he saw that Feng Hen had bound him, with gusts of wind swirling around him. Then, with a sudden push from Ying, Feng Hen carried Wu Qiu away.

"No! Wait! Sister Ying!"

To Wu Qiu's astonishment, Ying saw him off. Then, her power surged, and with her last strength, she charged towards Tianli.

"Sister Ying!!!!!!!!!!"

In the final moments in the sky, Wu Qiu saw a fluctuation of power, followed by a powerful force that shook the surrounding space, causing it to become unstable. Then, Wu Qiu lost consciousness again.

However, what he didn't know was that shortly after he landed, the ground began to tremble. Then, white particles appeared on the ground, enveloping Wu Qiu and gradually pulling him into the ground until he disappeared.

Meanwhile, Tianli caught up shortly after. Not seeing Wu Qiu, Tianli frowned. "Impossible, he couldn't possibly have the power to escape."

He crouched down, felt the ground, and then asked in confusion, "This is... salt..."

Then a smile appeared on her lips. Looking into the distance, she spoke, word by word, "It seems I know where he is?"

With a wave of his hand, a cage appeared. Inside, the heavily injured Ying lay limp. Looking at her, Tianli smiled and said, "It seems that not killing you immediately was indeed the right thing to do. With you here, that guy couldn't possibly refuse to hand over the item, could he?"

......................................................

In the darkness, Wu Qiu felt his body was very heavy. At the same time, a piercing pain surged into his palm, followed by a throbbing pain that traveled up his arm to his brow. Finally, it felt as if his brow had exploded.

However, Wu Qiu didn't care about any of that. He remembered that Ying had been in dire straits to save him, and that she might even be dead now. Thinking of this, Wu Qiu went completely mad, his killing intent impossible to suppress, and he didn't try to hold back at all.

In an instant, Wu Qiu felt his body strength increasing, and a mysterious power gathered between his brows, but Wu Qiu felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, making him feel somewhat powerless.

"No! I must go save Ying!"

The belief in his heart finally gave Wu Qiu a sliver of strength. He struggled, his body trembling violently. With the constant shaking, Wu Qiu finally regained consciousness.

When Wu Qiu opened his eyes with difficulty, he felt very weak, but it was a weakness in his spirit; his body was full of strength.

Before him, Wu Qiu saw a woman. This woman was now looking at him in fear, her body trembling, her eyes filled with terror, exactly like Lu Xiao when they first met.

However, she was a demon god. Indeed, Wu Qiu could tell; she was a demon god, and a not-so-weak one. At level eighty-four, while not top-tier, she was certainly not weak.

But now she was trembling with fear, her face seemingly saying, "You're so easy to bully."

But Wu Qiu couldn't care less about any of that right now; his mind was in complete disarray. Looking around, Wu Qiu saw... he saw a huge creature lying beside him.

I don't know what it is, but judging from the situation, it should also be a demon god, except that it is already dead, and the wounds on its body were killed by a single sword strike.

Wu Qiu was dumbfounded, looking around, feeling a strange sense of wonder. Then, then he remembered.

I felt like I'd gone mad. I got up and rushed out without a care in the world, and then... then I ran into the two of them. This woman seemed to be being bullied by another demon, and she was in a very passive position.

Wu Qiu was severely mentally confused at the time, and because of Ying, he had become bloodthirsty. At that moment, he only wanted to kill Tianli, so he attacked them immediately upon seeing them.

That demon god was unlucky; his strength was actually quite good, but Wu Qiu ambushed him and killed him with a single sword strike. At this moment, Wu Qiu looked at himself—level 81, having leveled up several times. This certainly didn't happen for no reason.

So, Wu Qiu used his demonic energy to project his image, and then he saw an extra eye between his eyebrows. Since he was now in demonic form, that eye looked particularly eerie.

Wu Qiu knew that he had gained strength by absorbing that eye. But Wu Qiu didn't care anymore. It was good to have strength. He had to save Ying. Although he knew he was still no match for Tianli, that didn't matter. He didn't even know what Ying was like now. Saving him was the most important thing.

So Wu Qiu turned and left, completely ignoring the woman in front of him. Wu Qiu knew that he had almost killed her just now; if he hadn't regained his senses at the last moment, she would probably be dead.

It's not that Wu Qiu is stronger than her, it's just that Wu Qiu was reckless back then, while this person was clearly cowardly, so she couldn't possibly be a match for Wu Qiu now if they fought.

But after taking only a few steps, Wu Qiu felt his body suddenly relax, and then he knelt on one knee. As the power in his body dissipated, he returned to his original state.

The female demon goddess had initially breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wu Qiu about to leave, but upon seeing Wu Qiu's recovered appearance, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you!"

Wu Qiu is feeling very bad because his eyes and his body don't seem to have fully integrated yet. His body is extremely unstable, to the point that it's practically half-dead and he's completely unable to fight.

"Damn it! Do I have to wait until my body recovers?!"

Wu Qiu slammed his fist on the ground in anger, but this impotent rage was clearly useless.

"Don't get agitated, your injury hasn't healed yet."

The woman suddenly stepped forward and spoke. Wu Qiu calmed down a bit, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized he might have been too impulsive. Even if he wanted to go, he should at least find out where he was.

So, Wu Qiu tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman paused for a moment, then said, "Hello, my name is Heulia..."

Chapter 477: Heuria

Heureia, a very familiar name, but Wu Qiu couldn't remember it, and it didn't matter. He stood up, looked at her, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is this?"

Heuria saw the obvious fear in Wu Qiu's eyes, but seeing the dissipation of his power, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is outside the Valley of Salt."

"The Valley of Salt? How far is it from where the battle just took place?"

Wu Qiu didn't believe that this demon god was unaware of the battle that had just taken place. Clearly, she knew. She paused, then said, "It's quite far, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Qiu interrupted her, asking, "Which direction?"

Heureia paused slightly again, then pointed in a direction. But before she could speak, she saw that Wu Qiu had already ignored her and was walking directly in that direction.

Wu Qiu has no time to waste now; he needs to find Zhong Li and the others, as this is the only way he can possibly save Ying.

However, after taking only a few steps, Wu Qiu felt a sharp pain in his body, and his body went limp, causing him to collapse to the ground. Gritting his teeth, Wu Qiu tried to get up, but felt too weak to do anything.

"Hey, don't be impulsive. You're very weak right now. You should rest for a while."

Heureia came up to help Wu Qiu. But Wu Qiu was very annoyed, extremely annoyed, and wanted to just shake her off and tell her to get lost.

But when Wu Qiu raised his hand, he felt his body suddenly lose all sensation, and then it seemed like he had fainted.

Yes, it seems so. Wu Qiu's eyes were closed, and his body had lost all sensation. But, between his eyebrows, there was a symbol. Through that symbol, Wu Qiu could see everything outside.

He saw himself being turned over, and then Heureia's beautiful face appeared. Immediately afterward, Wu Qiu saw her help him up, murmuring, "He fainted. What a strange guy. He was so badly injured, why did he have to be so stubborn?"

However, she quickly looked at Wu Qiu and whispered, "However, if possible, then perhaps we can give it a try."

Then, an excited smile appeared on her face as she looked at Wu Qiu as if he were a treasure, and the more she looked at him, the more she cherished him.

Wu Qiu had a bad feeling; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

However, Wu Qiu soon realized he was wrong. Heureia hadn't done anything to him; she had simply taken him back. From the sky, Wu Qiu saw it—he saw this so-called Valley of Salt.

This Valley of Salt is a huge circular valley. The entire valley is surrounded by massive rocks, forming a circle, with only one exit at the very front.

These rocks formed natural city walls, and inside, Wu Qiu saw houses. Although the valley was not large, only about a third the size of Liyue Harbor, it was still quite prosperous.

Is this part of her territory?

Wu Qiu thought this, but soon realized something was wrong, because the outside of this valley was clearly different from the inside; they were completely different concepts.

"Wait, Heuria, the gentlest demon goddess, was too weak, which caused her to lose all her territories. In the end, she was killed by her beloved people, and then her people surrendered to the Rock King Emperor."

Wu Qiu finally remembered: Heuria, from the story of the Zhongli Legend quest. Heuria, the gentlest of all demon gods, not only loved her people but was also exceptionally gentle, even towards other demon gods.

She chose to withdraw at the start of the Demon God War, constantly yielding, which ultimately cost her everything and led to her being killed by her beloved people. Yet, even in the end, she did not blame her people.

Heureia is undoubtedly a demon worthy of sympathy; she is gentler than any other demon, yet she was born in this cruel era.

Perhaps this Valley of Salt is her last territory, but even so, there are still demons who want to take it away. However, that demon was killed by her when she was negotiating with Heuria.

Now that I think about it, how did I get here? How did I escape the pursuit of Heaven's Law? It was probably this gentle demon god who saved me.

Although he didn't know how she did it, it certainly seemed that way now. Wu Qiu felt somewhat ashamed; he wanted to apologize for his actions, but he couldn't move.

Moreover, Wu Qiu was in a great hurry, a very great hurry. He still needed to rescue Ying, and he couldn't stay here for too long. Therefore, he had to recover quickly.

Heuria led Wu Qiu into her palace, which was not particularly luxurious and contained few items. It was located in the very center of the valley.

Here, Wu Qiu was placed on the bed and carefully cared for by Heulia. She didn't call anyone else, but took care of Wu Qiu herself.

That was truly meticulous care; she was an all-around nanny, comparable to Noelle. Wu Qiu didn't know why Heureia was so good to him, but the problem was, he still couldn't move.

"Ah!!!!!!!!! Ugh—! Move!!!"

Wu Qiu roared inwardly. Just as he was about to fart, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Hey, hey, kid! Don't move."

Wu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately cried out, "Hey, hey, system! System! Quick, quick! Help me! I need to go to..."
