Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

"I understand." Liu Yun nodded slightly, then looked at Gui Zhong, "What is the matter with the Demon God Gui Zhong coming here?"

Gui Zhong smiled and said, "Master Liuyun, ever since the last competition with Ge Chen, I have been trying to invent a mechanism that can play more music, but I haven't been able to make a breakthrough yet. Ge Chen doesn't understand mechanism art, so I can only come to you for advice."

Hearing this, if it were the old Liu Yun, he would definitely invite Gui Zhong into the cave and the two of them would have a good chat, but now...

"Gui Zhong, I don't have time now. Let's talk about it next time." Liu Yun looked a little embarrassed. She couldn't admit that she had been supervising Zhu Yuncheng's practice for the past four months and had never touched the art of mechanical engineering once.

Gui Zhong didn't care: "That's right, I still have to complete the emperor's order first."

At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng also came over and saluted to Gui Zhong and Ge Chen Zhenjun.

When Gui Zhong saw Zhu Yuncheng, he also came closer and said with a smile: "Xiao Yun, do you remember the gift I gave you?"

When Zhu Yuncheng heard this, he immediately recalled the Luban lock from that day: "Master Guizhong Demon God, I still remember it."

"Well, have you solved it?" Guimu asked.

Zhu Yuncheng: “…”

He put the Kongming lock that Gui Zhong gave him in his room when he came back and did not unlock it. Now that Gui Zhong asked him about it, he didn't know how to answer.

"Yuncheng has been practicing hard under my supervision. He doesn't have the time to tinker with the mechanical device you gave him." Fortunately, Liu Yun rescued Zhu Yuncheng.

Gui Zhong listened, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he said to Zhu Yuncheng: "Xiao Yun, with your intelligence, you can easily unlock the lock, right?"

Zhu Yuncheng said to himself, "Strange, isn't it just a Luban lock? Why does Guizhong insist that I unlock it?"

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Zhu Yuncheng understood that the Lu Ban lock was a smaller version of the Earthly Lock. The latter was a symbol of alliance given by Gui Zhong to the Emperor. He said that it contained Gui Zhong's wisdom and hoped that the Emperor could unlock it.

Rather than saying it is wisdom, it is better to say that it is Guizhong's confession to the Emperor. However, Guizhong is implicit and does not want to say it directly. He only hopes that the Emperor will discover it himself and then tell it to him.

It was like a story I had heard in my previous life. After graduation, a girl gave a boy a picture album with a confession of love on the back. She hoped the boy would find it. But in fact, it was not until many years later that the boy accidentally saw the girl’s farewell to him from the back of the album.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that until the death of the demon god Guizhong, the emperor had never opened the lock of the world and had never understood Guizhong's intentions.

When Gui Zhong met Zhu Yuncheng for the first time, seeing how smart he was, she thought of asking Zhu Yuncheng to unlock the Kongming lock. If Zhu Yuncheng could unlock it, she could let Zhu Yuncheng teach the Emperor.

"So that's how it is." Zhu Yuncheng thought to himself, "I really have to help, both to fulfill Gui Zhong's wish and to make up for my regrets."

With this in mind, Zhu Yuncheng bowed to Guizhong once again: "Master Demon God Guizhong, after I and Master come back from the mountain, I will definitely try to unlock the gift given by Master Demon God Guizhong."

Hearing this, Gui Zhong smiled and reached out to touch Zhu Yuncheng's head: "It's a deal!"

-

Return to the collection.

When Zhu Yuncheng came to the sky above this place sitting on the back of his master, he saw only a golden ocean, which were all ripe rice and wheat.

What? You asked why rice and wheat can grow together. It's because of the power of the devil, and Teyvat has its own laws.

Ahem, back to the topic, Zhu Yuncheng looked down and saw a breeze. The ripe rice and wheat below were moving with the wind, just like waves in the sea, very spectacular.

At the end of these waves, farmers are harvesting wheat and rice bit by bit.

"Freshly harvested wheat and husked rice often attract a lot of monsters. Although these elemental creatures, which are naturally hostile to humans, do not need to eat, wheat and rice absorb nutrients from the earth. They contain rich elemental energy, which is very beneficial to monsters."

Liu Yun started to explain the matter, and Zhu Yuncheng asked curiously: "Master, if this is the case, then wouldn't humans turn into monsters or other elemental life after eating it?"

"There are only a handful of humans who can directly absorb elemental energy, only one in ten thousand." Liu Yun explained, "Except for those few people, the elemental energy in the food consumed by others will just escape from their bodies."

This is probably the fundamental reason why humans need to use the Eye of God to use elemental power.

After answering Zhu Yuncheng's question, Liu Yun continued to recall: "When humans first moved to Guiliji, every time there was a harvest, a large number of monsters would invade. The Emperor ordered us to drive out the monsters and protect humans.

Guizhong suggested that this be a cycle, just as flowers, plants and trees absorb nutrients to survive the cold winter and bloom again, and immortals and demons protect the people and help them get food to fill their stomachs, and the emperor agreed and named it Nian. "

Is this the origin of the year?

"Later, we discovered that when we fight monsters at the end of each year, even if we are careful, we will always use too much force and destroy large tracts of farmland. The immortal power will accumulate and will not dissipate for several years. In the end, Guizhong suggested that immortals like us accept humans as apprentices and teach them how to use immortal power.

But immortal power is also a kind of elemental power, which only a few humans can master. Later, the two True Lords, Xue Yue and Li Shui, discovered that the patterns left by cinnabar on paper can attract elemental power to stay and release different spells, which is how it is today. "

Listening to Liu Yun's introduction, Zhu Yuncheng had a better understanding of the history of Liyue.

After a while, Liuyun descended and landed on a flat ground.

Zhu Yuncheng saw that there was a group of people kneeling here. Looking at their clothes, they were basically made of fabric woven with colorful flowers. This thing was equivalent to the silk from China. Those who wore it were either rich or noble.

Over these clothes, he wore iron armor, a sword at his waist, spears on the ground, and cloth bags at his waist, which seemed to contain talismans.

"Meet Master Liuyunjiefeng!"

When the group saw Liu Yun, they immediately kowtowed and shouted in unison.

"These people are the disciples of Xueyue and Lishui," Liuyun introduced. "They are responsible for guarding the fields east of Guili City."

Zhu Yuncheng looked at these people. According to seniority, he, as Liu Yun's first apprentice, was still their eldest senior brother.

"Get up." Liu Yun continued, "Let me ask you, how is your defense going?"

The leader of the group replied respectfully, "Reporting to the True Lord, before the harvest, we have been patrolling in the east of Guili City and have not found any traces of monsters, but we still set traps and restricted the hunters from going up the mountain to hunt."

"Yeah." Liu Yun nodded and suddenly looked into the distance.

Zhu Yuncheng also looked over there, his eyes twitching, and saw some fuzzy black dots appearing in the distance.

In Zhu Yuncheng's eyes, they were black spots, but in Liu Yun's eyes, they were all monsters.

"Yun Cheng, come with me. The others continue patrolling."
