At this time, Gui Zhong had just finished reading his book at Lin Qiu's home.
She naturally knew Heuria; during the Demon God War, Heuria's territory was not far from hers.
Both were demon gods with weak combat power, but one chose to back down while the other chose to ally with a stronger being.
Whichever choice you make, it's a compromise made by a demon god who is powerless to protect his people for their sake.
In a way, she was luckier; at least she made many close friends, while Heureia's death remained completely unknown.
"Heureia... I hope you like this era," Gui Zhong whispered.
She knew what Lin Qiu had gone to do, and she didn't dislike Herria. Now that the Demon God War was over, they were no longer enemies.
At this moment, Lin Qiu and Hu Tao were standing at the innermost part of the Salt Relics in the Earth.
"I understand. It's about explaining the situation to her and then helping her put on her clothes," Hu Tao nodded.
"I'm quite good at dressing people who can't move," Hu Tao said with a sinister smile.
Lin Qiu flicked Hu Tao's forehead, remembering how Hu Tao had secretly drawn turtles on him when he was asleep.
"Why are you criticizing me? I didn't do anything wrong this time!" Hu Tao said, dissatisfied, and pretended to take revenge.

"The people of Haiqi Island will never forget the sacrifices of Haiqi Omikami, but... perhaps it's time to let go of this faith."
Chapter 128 Heulia
Lin Qiu took out the puppet, then made a hand seal to pour the remnants of the demon god into the puppet.
After finishing, Lin Qiu turned around and walked out without looking back.
Afterwards, the doll's body will slowly transform into Heuria's body; the details are very subtle, so it's not easy to watch.
"Don't instill wrong ideas in people!" Lin Qiu reminded them.
Watching Lin Qiu's departing figure, Hu Tao asked with some confusion, "What wrong idea do I have?"
"Alright, let me take a closer look at this miraculous 'resurrection'."
"Hmm... I wish Qiqi were like that..."
Then, under Hu Tao's gaze, the doll slowly transformed into a mature, sophisticated woman with fair skin, a curvaceous figure, and detailed features.
"Oh dear, it's still bigger than mine..." Hu Tao touched her chest, wondering if it would continue to develop.
The older sister in front of me slowly opened her eyes. Her eyebrows were the same white as salt, and her hair was also white like salt, but with some metallic yellow mixed in.
Hu Tao handed the clothes to the other person and explained the situation.
I thought the other person would be unconscious for a while, but I didn't expect them to open their eyes so quickly.
This saved Hu Tao the trouble of preparing the other party's 'funeral appearance and will'.
"Is that so...may I go and see the descendants of my people?" Heureia's voice was very gentle.
Even though she had just been 'resurrected,' she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her people and descendants were still alive and well.
"This is beyond my control. Go ask Xiao Qiuqiu," Hu Tao said.
She is the head of the Hall of Rebirth, and most of the Salt God's people are in the "Silver Plain Hall," which is naturally beyond her jurisdiction.
However, Lin Qiu now has a lot of influence. Not to mention the "Yinyuan Hall", he can also go to the Qunyu Pavilion whenever he wants.
"Yes, I also have to thank my benefactor." Heuria tapped her chin with her finger, seemingly deep in thought. "Hmm... Little Qiuqiu?"
And so, another person came into the world who called Lin Qiu "Little Qiuqiu".
One last thing worth mentioning is that Paimon wasn't captured; she went to find Mona with the Traveler.
The traveler explained his purpose to Mona, who then ground her teeth, feeling an itch to bite him.
If Lin Qiu were in front of her right now, she would really want to bite him.
What kind of good relationship do we have? You tricked me, and now you want me to help you? You shameless Lin Qiu!
"Lin Qiu said that as compensation, he will write your story again in the future," the traveler said.
"...Damn it, don't think you can bribe me like this!" Mona gritted her teeth.
I almost, I almost agreed! Luckily, I held firm to my decision!
"Lin Qiu also said that if you don't agree, then forget it." With that, Yingmei turned to leave.
This actually made Mona anxious. Putting aside the story written for her, she had no intention of refusing because Lin Qiu could use this pocket anchor at any time.
She was really looking forward to Lin Qiu using this anchor point so she could seize the opportunity to take revenge.
Mona was simply unwilling to give in immediately because she had been tricked by Lin Qiu so many times.
"Wait a minute!" Mona stopped the traveler.
"What's wrong?" the traveler asked, turning around.
"Well, I've been thinking about it, and these pocket anchors are quite interesting. I'll keep them so I can study them a bit more," Mona explained, her eyes darting left and right.
"Huh? But aren't you an astrologer? This has nothing to do with astrology, right?" Paimon asked, oblivious to the situation.
"Leave it to me!" Mona snatched the pocket anchor.
Ying revealed a smug smile; it must be said, Lin Qiu really knows Mona well.
Wait, Yingmei suddenly stopped laughing. She realized that Lin Qiu not only understood Mona, but also understood her very well!
Damn it, I'm doing him a free errand, and I'm still so happy!
Meanwhile, when Lin Qiu returned home, Funina and Navia had already returned after listening to the 'Goddess Splitting Temple'.
"The song 'Goddess Splits the Sky' is so beautiful. I wonder if there will be a song written for me," Fu Ningna exclaimed.
She has performed in many operas, and some people have even suggested creating works specifically for her as a water goddess.
However, what was created was all the portrayal of her character, not her real story at all.
"It will happen." Lin Qiu smiled, the destructive power of 'Light Ripple' is no less than that of the Goddess's Strike.
Fu Ningna was very excited. Judging from Lin Qiu's attitude, she knew that Lin Qiu must have seen a song related to her in the future.
"Qiu, can you tell me something in advance? Just a little bit! Just a tiny bit!" Funina pestered Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu refused to say anything, because with his musical skills, revealing them would only lower people's expectations.
"Alright, alright, leaving some mystery for the future makes it more anticipated."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Heuria and Guizhong will probably chat for a long time. Let's play something to pass the time," Lin Qiu changed the subject.
"What do you want to play? This master is best at hide-and-seek." Hu Tao became interested as soon as she heard that they wanted to play.
"Four people, let's play mahjong." Doraemon Akira redeemed a mahjong set from the system.
These entertainment props, which have little practical use, consume very little emotional value, so you can switch to them at will; you can even use them to throw mahjong tiles at people for fun.
Lin Qiu explained the rules of mahjong to the group, and the four of them started playing.
On the other side, Gui Zhong and Heulia listened to Granny Ping and Zhong Li tell stories from the past few thousand years.
The group didn't stand on ceremony; they simply sat cross-legged on the open ground outside the courtyard, though they were a little distance apart.
Immortals and demons, without even sitting on chairs, chatted while sitting on the ground—a scene rarely seen by ordinary people in their lifetime.
Instead, the four 'ordinary people' in the room were sitting in chairs playing mahjong.
"So, after my death, my people have placed their guilt on you..." Heuria knelt gracefully and sighed softly.
Many things happened after her death, but as Heureia had predicted, the final victor in Liyue was none other than the War God Morax.
Morax had already distinguished himself while she was still alive and was the most likely winner in the Liyue region.
She wanted her people to survive, so she gave her own life as a "pledge of allegiance" to them.
Unexpectedly, the people under Morax's leadership still harbored resentment towards him.
Fortunately, Morax had already come to regard them as Liyue people, his own subjects, and had no intention of being harsh towards them.
“I’m so sorry, Morax…” Heuria said apologetically.
Morax took in his people, only to be bitten in return – a classic case of the farmer and the snake.
“It doesn’t matter. After a thousand years, in my heart they are already citizens of Liyue.” Zhongli said calmly.
Some of the people of the Salt God still believe in the Salt God, but in fact, many more have converted to the Rock God.
Since ancient times, the people of the Salt God have been part of the Thousand Rock Army; they have long been one family.

"I never expected you to be so easy to talk to," Heuria said with a smile.
During the Demon God War, Morax, the strongest Demon God of Liyue, was surprisingly easy to deal with.
Zhongli didn't answer. It was only after the war was over that he could talk to him. Back then, he wasn't someone who was easy to talk to.
More often than not, Zhongli chooses to take action rather than speak.
Herria serves as a cautionary tale for him. Trying to reason with other demons only leads to this fate. Only through force can one protect a corner of the world.
Although Heuria was gentle and weak, she was not stupid. Seeing Zhongli remain silent, she understood that he was not called the God of War because of his good temper.
Heuria changed the subject, "I really have to thank Xiao Qiuqiu for allowing me to be 'reborn' in this era."
This era is wonderful; compared to previous times, it truly deserves the word "peace," although it's unknown how long this peace will last.
"Little Qiuqiu?" Zhongli smiled faintly. Wasn't that the hall master's favorite nickname? Had it been taken away too?
“Young friend Lin is indeed interesting; he has even piqued my interest, like a stubborn rock, to carve some more content,” Zhongli said.
Heuria nodded. She had suffered from severe amnesia after her resurrection, and her closest relatives at the moment were Hu Tao and Lin Qiu, who were present at the time.
Or rather, even if she hadn't lost her memory, it wouldn't have mattered, because unlike Gui Zhong, she had never had any friends... even her subjects betrayed her...
Speaking of Gui Zhong, she was sitting on the ground at an angle, just like in the morning. It was unclear whether she had changed her posture throughout the day.
The person standing in front of her was A-Ping. They weren't with Heulia, since there were some stories they couldn't tell her.
"The Yakshas... just as I thought." Gui Zhong sighed softly.
She had already guessed this possibility when she saw that only Xiao had come.
Only when Ge Chen spoke did she sever her last hope for everyone's safety.
There is sadness, of course, but Gui Zhong's memories are damaged, and his memories of Yaksha feel distant. At this moment, his state of mind is the same as that of the other immortals.
Gui Zhong was somewhat downcast and said softly, "Aping, could you play that old tune? I want to hear it."
“…” Ge Chen was silent for a while; she hadn’t played the zither in a long time.
But her reason for not playing the piano was that her soulmate had passed away. Now that Gui Zhong has returned, she naturally has no reason not to play.
“Okay.” Ge Chen smiled and took out his zither to play softly.
Gui listened attentively and understood the meaning behind the music. He smiled and said, "It seems that you are also very grateful to Lin Qiu, Aping."
Ge Chen was taken aback, even playing a wrong note, but Gui could still discern her emotions as before...
Lin Qiu, who was playing mahjong, received emotional points from the breakdown, but he doubted whether it was because he had lost too much and that the one who broke down was actually himself.
However, 'resurrecting' the dead and then telling them stories about their afterlife to break their defenses is truly a unique approach.
Now they're not even sparing the dead, so don't even think about being reincarnated!
"Two of Bamboo!" Lin Qiu played a card.
