Ying raised the sword, and Bingshen closed his eyes silently, but the sword did not fall. Instead, a fist landed heavily on Bingshen's face. Bingshen's face was knocked to one side, leaving a deep red fist mark on it.

The Bingshen opened his eyes, turned his head and focused his gaze back on Ying.

"Want to vent your anger? This is hatred..."

"God of hatred!" Ying couldn't help but curse, and shouted at the Ice God, "I don't want to understand the principles you are telling me! I just want to wake you up! Your way of pursuing peace is wrong in itself!"

The Bingshen, who was not angry because of being slapped in the face by Ying, became angry after hearing this. He glared at Ying and said, "You said I was wrong! Don't think that you can deny the peace I pursue by defeating me! If you have a better way, tell me!"

After punching the Ice God, Ying calmed down again and asked, "Why do you have to ask me if there is a better way? If you are really sure that doing this can bring true peace, then you shouldn't ask me this. Do you actually hope to find a way that does not require sacrifice?"

The Ice God was silent for a moment, then replied coldly: "As I said, there is nothing we can do about it. It is just a necessary sacrifice on the road to true peace."

"You're just going to get more sacrifices by doing that."

"What do you know? What can you do?"

Looking at the somewhat angry Ice God, at this moment, Ying suddenly felt that the other party was really pitiful. She really wanted peace, but unfortunately it was too twisted.

"Well, I don't understand. I don't know any real way to achieve peace. If you really want me to tell you, it's that at present, Teyvat can only achieve relative peace, not real peace." Ying said calmly, "The road to peace you mentioned has been taken by others, but it only brought endless sacrifices, and peace cannot be achieved."

"What did you say? Someone has already walked by? Are you kidding me?"

“Tianli, isn’t what you are doing now exactly the same as Tianli did?”

"Do you know what Heaven's Law is? I'm different from her. She never wanted peace. The war between demons and gods, the war to destroy nations, these sacrifices were all led by Heaven's Law! When I gain enough power, the first person I will kill will be Heaven's Law!"

"Now on the continent of Teyvat, with what you've done to various countries, if possible, the first person everyone would want to kill is you, right?" Ying said bluntly, "What's the difference between you and her?"

"I……"

"I don't know Tianli, or even understand Tianli, but I see that you are doing exactly the same thing as her." Ying interrupted Bingshen and continued, "Tianli started the Demon God War, and now you are also starting wars against various countries? Can you tell me, if you really rule the world and deal with the discordant voices, how do you plan to maintain peace in the world? Do you manage the whole world by yourself? Can you handle it?"

"I……"

"You mean the Fatui? You can let the Fatui's executive officers govern each country separately, and you only need to supervise the executive officers."

Ying did not give Bingshen a chance to speak, and continued to narrate his own point of view: "There used to be many demons entrenched in Teyvat, and there were frequent fights between the demons, resulting in constant sacrifices. Heaven launched the Demon War, selected the seven most powerful demons, and granted them thrones. The seven gods each took charge of seven territories on Teyvat, and the people no longer had to worry about the threats of the demons. As a result, the seven gods protected humans and provided them with a stable and peaceful living environment. The seven gods only obeyed Heaven and were responsible to Heaven."

Ying pointed out directly: "The Fatui's executive officers you mentioned are the new 'Seven Gods', right?"

The Ice God remained silent.

"Then the Heavenly Law began to deal with the discordant voices. Anything that could threaten the safety and peace of the world would be eliminated. Wasn't Kanreya eliminated in this way five hundred years ago? Isn't this what you are going to do? You are the new 'Heavenly Law', so what is the difference?"

Ying looked directly at Bingshen, as if trying to see through Bingshen's inner thoughts, and asked:

"So did Tianli achieve peace? Why did you, the 'Seven Gods', betray Tianli? Does this mean that your executive officer will also betray you?"

The Ice God retorted, "My executive officers will not betray me! They all became executive officers for the same ideal, for peace! Every one of them is ready to sacrifice for peace!"

Many executives have already sacrificed their lives on this road, and this is also the motivation for the Ice God to further promote this peace plan.

"Didn't the original seven gods betray Heavenly Principle in the beginning? You can become 'Heavenly Principle' and live forever, but other 'gods' will wear out! Can you guarantee that their ideas will never change? Well, let's assume that they really understand 'Heavenly Principle', but they pass away due to wear and tear. Will the new gods not have their own ideas? Ice God." Ying asked with a cold look, "You are not one of the original seven rulers, are you? You said yourself that people cannot understand each other. Don't you also disagree with Heavenly Principle's ideas and are ready to rebel and kill Heavenly Principle? And then there are so many sacrifices."

"That's...that's because the law of nature is not strong enough!"

"Then you are a god who can only resist Tianli when she is weak. Even if you gather all the hearts of gods and kill the weak Tianli now, do you think you can be stronger than the previous Tianli? She will be weak one day, why do you think you won't face the same day? What Tianli can't do, why do you think you can do it? Even as a god, you can be defeated by me, whom you despise. How can you still want to become Tianli?"

Bingshen was speechless after hearing Ying's series of words.

"What you are doing now is just creating killing and sacrifice. You are using an uncertain future to persuade yourself to satisfy your hypocritical desire for peace! Doing this will only bring more sacrifices!" Ying said in a voice of regret. "As the Ice God, you are not sober at all. Wake up quickly! Don't increase the sacrifices! You are a god who loves people, not a demon who kills people!"

"I..." Bing Shen's voice was stuck, and then he retorted with a lack of confidence, "What you said is completely specious! You have no basis for peace at all! I... am not wrong!"

The Ice God, who had always been strong, now seemed like a stubborn child.

Shen Zi muttered in Ying's heart at this time: "Ying, you seem to have said that you are not good at preaching, right? Isn't this a good point?"

Ying let out a long sigh to ease the excitement she had just felt. She looked at Bingshen with a pitiful look in her eyes. "It doesn't matter. Just pretend that you did nothing wrong. I don't want to change your mindset of working hard for five hundred years with just a few words. I just want to tell you that you have been used by others. You said your executive officer would not betray you, but do you know the Agong under you?"

"You mean Agong? He and I are just partners. I know he may have other thoughts, but he has indeed been working hard to realize this peace plan."

It’s still the same old story.

Ying looked around and found the unconscious Little Lucky Grass King. She put her hand on the Little Lucky Grass King and transferred the golden energy to the Little Lucky Grass King, who then slowly opened his eyes.

"Is it over?" The Little Auspicious Grass King looked at the Ice God lying on the ground and roughly understood what was going on.

Ying brought the Little Auspicious Grass King to the front of Bingshen, pointed at the Little Auspicious Grass King and said to Bingshen: "Let her tell us about Agong's affairs."

The Ice God looked at the Little Auspicious Grass King with hostility. Compared to Ying, the Ice God had even less good feelings towards the Little Auspicious Grass King. The Little Auspicious Grass King could also feel the hostility of the Ice God and said to the Ice God: "I know why you are so hostile to me. It was not me who killed the people of your country. I have always been controlled by that Agong under your command."

"Heh, little auspicious grass king, are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"

Ying interrupted, "You've already come to this point, is there any need to deceive you anymore?"

The Ice God remained silent, then snorted at the Little Auspicious Grass King: "Then let me hear what you have to say!"

Green light emerged from Xiao Jixiang's hand and was placed on the Ice God's head.

"Let me show you this memory first."

Chapter 113: Doctor: Why did the Queen rebel?

"This is what happened when I was born. Xumi and everything I did before, or most of the things that happened in this world, were manipulated by him. If it weren't for Ying's appearance, I would still be controlled by him."

"This……"

The Bingshen has already believed what he just saw. Just as Ying said, there is nothing to deceive him about now. So the one who killed his own people was not the little auspicious grass king, but Agong?

"You have been completely used by him. I think he did this in order to secretly control Xumi and cause chaos in the world. On the other hand, he wanted to change your mind and push you to the front line of the world to collect all the God's Hearts for him and attract the hostility of everyone. Your peace plan is doomed to fail. If my guess is correct, when you take away my God's Heart this time and return to Winter with most of your power consumed, he will take the opportunity to take your God's Heart away as well."

Bing Shen's expression twisted and he couldn't help but curse: "That bastard! He really has his own thoughts!"

"As expected... you don't actually trust him. He calculated everything, but he didn't expect that I would break free of his control in this world. Ice God, it's not too late for you to turn back now."

The Ice God took a deep breath and said, "Since he has been defeated, I will tell you. Five hundred years ago, I met him when I returned from the battlefield of Kanreya. At that time, he was wearing a mask. He called himself 'Istaru' and came to seek cooperation with me."

Cao Shen and Ying both frowned: "Istallu?"

The ruler of time, Istaru, this name is not unfamiliar to several people.

"Oh, of course I don't believe in this identity. How could the Lord of Time not even dare to take off his mask to show himself to others? He probably just wanted to raise a big identity flag to cover up his true identity. I rejected his cooperation at first, but after experiencing Xumi..." The Ice God glanced at the Little Auspicious Grass King and continued through gritted teeth, "Now it seems that he had planned it all from the beginning. The initial establishment of the Fatui and my wishes were all pushed by him behind the scenes."

Now the Ice God has faced reality.

Ying interrupted: "Then do you know his true identity?"

The Ice God knows everything: "Although I cooperated with him, I never completely trusted him. I also secretly investigated his identity, his origin, and his power. In the end, I suspected that he was the demon god Orobas that Inazuma was killed by the Thunder God himself."

Ying blinked her eyes. Even the Bingshen was so suspicious?

However, Ying had a new suspicion: "Orobus should have been killed by the Thunder God. If it was really him, how did he survive? Moreover, there are his bones and the filth of the demon god emitted by his death on Inazuma."

"Orobus is, after all, a demon who has experienced and participated in two demon wars. If he wants to escape, he still has many ways to do it, such as possession, reincarnation, and snakes. There are always ways to shed their shells, and his abilities are also very strange."

Ying remembered that in Liyue, any attack would pass through Agong's body, and nodded. But as a demon god, would he act like a comedian all day long? What about the posture of a demon god?

The image of Wendy asking for wine suddenly appeared in my mind.

Okay, I understand. There are even more humble ones. But Wendy is really unruly, and Agong's funny look is all a disguise, right?

Ying could already imagine that under Agong's mask, there was a shrewd and sinister look.

"Why would Orobas do such a thing?"

The Ice God pondered for a moment and said, "Now that I think about it, it should be revenge against Heaven. What happened back then is no secret to most gods. Because he knew something he shouldn't have known, Heaven punished him by destroying the country he protected. In order to protect his own people, he chose to 'commit suicide' and died under the sword of the Thunder God. When he first came to me for cooperation, he wanted to defeat Heaven and achieve peace."

Could it be like this?

A demon god who chose to die to protect his country, now commits so many evil deeds for revenge...

Ying looked at the Ice God. The Ice God had not become so twisted for the sake of peace before. Thoughts can change. Perhaps in the heart of "Agong", these sacrifices are necessary.

But what was Agong's purpose in collecting the Heart of God? His purpose should not be the same as that of the Ice God.

Ying felt that things were moving one step closer to the truth, but were also getting further and further away from the truth.

"Perhaps because I know his identity, I have let down my guard against him. I know he has some tricks up his sleeve, but as long as he can help me complete my plan and doesn't go too far, I can tolerate it... It seems that I should have dealt with him before coming here!"

"It's not too late now." Little Auspicious Grass King helped Ice God up and said, "You can stay in Xumi to recover now. I also want to ask you for a favor. Can you lend me your Heart of God? Don't get me wrong. I just got out of control and gave most of my power to Ying. I am also very weak now. I want to borrow the power of your Heart of God and mine to open the space leading to the World Tree."

The World Tree... is that the tree I saw in my dream before? This time, I am not going to a dream, but to the space where the real World Tree is.

"The World Tree records all the information of this world, and I am made of the branches of the World Tree. As a grass god, I can check the information on the World Tree. The true identity of 'Agong' must be recorded on the World Tree."

No matter how hard Agong tries to hide himself or what conspiracy he has, he is still a living being of Teyvat, and all his information is exposed on the World Tree.

"I……"

Just as the Ice God was about to speak, the sound of approaching footsteps reached the ears of several people.

Someone is coming? Is it the Xumi people who escaped earlier and came to check the situation after seeing that the battle is over?

"Clap clap-"

Applause sounded. The person on the other side did not hide his intention. It was indeed a Xumi person, but he was wearing a mask on his face, a mask belonging to the Fatui.

"Dotore."

When Bing Shen called out the other party's name, Ying immediately became alert. This name was the second-in-command of the Fatui, "Doctor" Dotole. It was he who established the Evil Eye Factory of Inazuma. But Ying let down his guard a little. He was Bing Shen's subordinate, and since Bing Shen had been convinced by him, then there should be no problem with him, right?

The Ice God questioned, "Dottore, why are you here? Didn't I order you to evacuate Xumi and head to Fontaine with all your strength?"

"My Queen, this is just a tiny slice of mine. Even if I go to Fontaine, I can't help much in the battle with the Water Dragon King." The doctor said respectfully, then glanced at everyone and continued to say to the Ice God, "But fortunately, I haven't completely evacuated from Xumi. My Queen, you don't seem to be in a good condition now. Do you need my help? Although this is just a weak slice, if it is only used to deal with the current situation, I can still do it with difficulty."

The Doctor asked the Ice God faithfully, and continued walking towards the group.

The Ice God ordered, "Dotore, stop! It's not necessary now!"

The Doctor stopped and said in a puzzled voice: "No need? The Little Lucky Grass King has lost most of his divine power, and the Traveler has been destroying our Faint People's plans. This is a godsend opportunity. Don't you want to reclaim the Heart of God?"

"The God's Heart Retrieval Plan has been cancelled. There is no need to fight anymore."

"Huh?" The doctor opened his mouth in disbelief, "What are you talking about, Queen? The God's Heart Recycling Plan has been cancelled? Queen, our entire Solstice, the entire Fatui, have been preparing for this plan for hundreds of years. Everyone has tried their best for this plan, and even many executives have sacrificed their lives for it, but everyone has no regrets, because everyone firmly believes that the Queen can lead everyone to achieve the ultimate peace. Now you actually say that the plan is cancelled? In your heart, are we executives props that come and go as you please? Think about the executives who died, are you worthy of them?"

The doctor confidently asked the Ice God:

"My Queen, are you planning to betray the Fatui and our Winter Solstice?"

The Ice God was shocked. I, the Ice God of Winter, betrayed Winter? Dotore, do you want to hear what you are saying?

“Dotore! You are so rude! Is it because you cut too many slices that you are confused? I am the Ice God of Winter! I know you have a lot of doubts now, but I have my reasons for doing this…”

Just as Bing Shen was about to explain Agong's matter to the doctor, Ying frowned and said to Bing Shen: "Bing Shen, what he said... is a little wrong."

Hearing Ying's words, the doctor raised his head, his mouth corners raised, and the respectful look he had shown to the Ice God disappeared. "Even this traveler has heard something wrong. My Queen, is it because you have been in a high position for too long, out of touch with us executive officers for too long, and too close to the girl that you have become as stupid as before?"

It was an undisguised sarcasm. At this point, even if the Ice God was stupid, he would know the doctor's problem.

"Dotore!" the Ice God roared, "Are you going to betray me?"

"Empress... no, Ice God, you look so ugly now. I have never been truly loyal to you, so how can I say I have betrayed you?" The Doctor said in a cheerful voice, "I am a Xumi person. I believe in and pledge my loyalty to Lord Grass God. Joining the Fatui was completely an order given to me by Lord Grass God. I am just following orders."

An order from the Grass God?

Ying and Bingshen looked towards the Little Auspicious Grass King, who shook his head: "It's not me, he... I'm afraid he's Agong's man."

It's Agong again!

clap clap-

The doctor clapped his hands again. "It seems that you have reached some kind of consensus and exchanged a lot of information while I was away."

The Little Auspicious Grass King asked: "You should know that Agong is not the real grass god, why do you still obey him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The doctor retorted directly, "He has ruled Xumi for five hundred years and made Xumi so powerful. If he is not the Grass God, then who is? Could it be a puppet like you who has never truly ruled Xumi? What qualifications do you have to be called the God of Xumi? Oh, right, is it because you are the second generation of God?"

There was a distinctly sarcastic tone at the end.

"Xumi has never been strong. Under Agong's rule, innocent people die every day in Xumi..."

The doctor interrupted the little auspicious grass king and said, "These are not important. In Xumi's jungle law, the strong can get everything, the capable can rise to the top, and can do whatever they want. This is the Xumi I want. There is no doubt that the one who created such a Xumi is the real grass god."

Ying frowned. This guy didn't take other people's lives seriously at all. He was also a lunatic.
