Chapter 33 Day 7 of Watching a Play in Liyue
Zhongli was not blinded by Shui Qingli's strange behavior.
It's not that the demons can't coexist, but that's when each one's power is beneficial to the other. Most of the time, if two equally powerful and opposing demons get too close, they will only feel squeezed and uncomfortable.
The elemental forces of Teyvat will react to each other, and there will naturally be opposition and coexistence between the demons who possess the same elemental characteristics.
For example, Guizhong, who was once the Demon God of Dust and also a Demon God of Rock, could tolerate Morax's overly powerful Rock energy very well. However, some other Demon Gods who were not Rock Elements could not accept it. They could only feel the exclusion of Rock Elements between heaven and earth.
Therefore, before the Sky Island made the covenant of the Seven Rulers of the World, all the demons on the continent of Teyvat would not get too close to each other and would not interfere with each other.
Although it is unclear what kind of world Shui Qingli was born in, the water element energy in his body is extremely abundant. If he had not sensed the aura from the sea of stars on him, he would have suspected whether this person was the incarnation of the Fontaine Water God.
"It seems they didn't let you down."
Shui Qingli seemed to have seen something. He turned his head and blinked at Zhongli, diluting his originally cold temperament.
Faced with the crisis of the demon's attack, the Immortal and the Seven Stars have decided to temporarily put aside their quarrels and unite to deal with the external enemy.
"Of course. Whether they are immortals or seven stars, they all belong to Liyue. Liyue is their home."
Zhongli glanced over, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he also revealed a satisfied smile.
Shui Qingli smiled and was about to say something else when he suddenly paused.
He sensed a familiar presence entering Liyue Harbor.
Although Osel's power mixed with the rain and snatched control of the water element from him, his sensitivity to water was still there, especially now that it was raining all over Liyue Harbor, his perception could be expanded to cover the entire city.
That was the scent of a lady that he had opposed in Mond.
Did she sneak in at this time? That's right, Childe Tartaglia was already enough for the Seven Stars to be wary of in Liyue. If it were any other time, she wouldn't have been able to get in so easily.
He lowered his eyes and let the matter go.
Ms. Inazuma won't live long, and he doesn't have much hatred against Rosaline, so there's no need to keep staring at someone who is doomed to die.
No matter how pitiful her past story was, she was now an arrogant Fatui executive who did not care about the lives of others.
They were already sitting under the porch to avoid the rain.
Although neither of them was afraid of the rain, the scent mixed with Osel still made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, especially Zhongli who was allergic to seafood. When he smelled the seafood smell mixed with the fishy smell of sea water, he felt numb all over.
Osel is worthy of being the demon god who once competed with Morax for the position of the Seven Rulings. Even though his strength has been reduced to one tenth of what it was due to the wear and tear imposed by the law of nature, he still cannot be underestimated. Even with the addition of several immortals and the ancient powerful crossbow Guizhongji, the battle on the Liyue side is still a bit difficult.
After all, the Whirlpool Demon who fights in the sea naturally has the advantage of terrain, and his strength is replenished very quickly, but what Liyue consumes are real resources and even human lives.
Especially in this situation, the Fatui also sent soldiers to cause trouble. Fortunately, there were some very capable travelers to help, otherwise the situation would be even worse.
"He's become stronger than when he was in Mond."
Mondstadt is like a novice village in the game, with low difficulty and a safe environment. Kong and Shui Qingli both developed in Mondstadt.
Unlike in the game, the blond boy fought with his own strength. His swordsmanship was indeed excellent and he used the power of the rock element quite smoothly. Even when fighting alone against many enemies, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
Or perhaps, his own strength was gradually recovering. After all, they were the twins who had traveled through the world many times, and they themselves possessed extremely powerful strength.
He could even guess that the reason why Tenri fell into a deep sleep and did not notice the little actions of the Ice God was related to the battle between her and the twins in the opening animation when he saw her.
But all these are just speculations. Only planner G who wrote the plot at the time and Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Abyss who still retained her memory know the details.
Shui Qingli poked at something in front of his eyes that appeared like a mirror, reflecting the projection of the battle on the scene. This thing was a bit like the circular light technique he had seen in the fairy tale novels before, which allowed people to see scenes in the distance.
When he saw the buff that Grandma Ping's shock wave added to Kong, he deliberately moved closer.
This is the most coveted skill for all travelers on the continent of Teyvat.
"Liyue's magic is truly miraculous. This magic..."
"It only works on people with less power than Ping."
Zhongli seemed to know what he was going to say, and had already answered before Shui Qingli finished speaking.
The traveler's strength is indeed good, at least he is considered top-notch among mortals and even the owners of the Eye of God. But Ping is, after all, the True Lord of Gechenlangshi who once followed him in the conquest. Although she loves music and flowers and plants, she is the immortal who is best at the art of fighting.
Back then, she used her spear to destroy countless enemies, but after that incident, she became silent.
"So Mr. Zhongli is so optimistic about my abilities."
Shui Qingli was somewhat happy and didn't care about his rejection. Although he was interested in Liyue's magic, he still knew his own limitations. He was afraid that his body made of pure water would reject the addition of other powers.
"Do you know that there is something strange about you?"
Zhongli is a truly well-informed person. The knowledge and experience he has accumulated over thousands of years are enough for him to see the abnormality in Shui Qingli.
He sensed a familiar aura from this new friend, a forbidden aura that only those who had truly come into contact with him could understand.
The smile in the blue-haired young man's eyes disappeared and he remained silent.
Of course he could feel it.
The power of Prince Water is not as simple as controlling water.
The setting of the Ye Luoli world is that seventy percent of the earth belongs to the ocean, and the Water Prince is a creature formed by the aggregation of water elements from the entire earth.
The ocean not only brings people gifts and abundance, but it can also bring devastating disasters, that is, natural disasters that destroy the world.
The Book of Genesis records that Jehovah wanted to destroy the world and ordered Noah, whom he believed to be the only good man at the time, to build an ark. He also ordered Noah to bring his wife, children, livestock, and birds on board, and then sent a flood to destroy the world.
There are many records of floods in Chinese mythology. The two most famous examples are the legend of Nuwa mending the sky and controlling the flood and the legend of Dayu controlling the flood.
In addition, Indian mythology, Mesopotamian mythology in the Mediterranean region, Hindu mythology, Greek mythology, etc. all record legends of floods destroying the world.
These myths that have been passed down represent the deep fear of floods that humans have had from ancient times to the present.
Even in the developed 21st century, floods, tsunamis and waterlogging are still natural disasters that people have to be prepared for. It doesn't take long for natural forces to stir up waves and destroy human civilization.
But he was just a small cosplayer, who was just lucky enough to have some kind of mutation while traveling through the starry sea, causing him to possess the memory and power of Prince Water. Unexpectedly, he seemed to also carry the power of destruction.
If he hadn't been pulled by the statue of the God of Wind, he would no longer be himself.
If I had known earlier, I would have watched that animation for young children carefully. It is obviously just an animation for elementary school students that promotes environmental protection. Why does it have such a high-sounding setting?
