Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

"Two hundred thousand people?" Anger appeared on the Ice God's face. "Do you know what this means?"

"Of course I know what 200,000 people mean, but you don't seem to recognize your position!" Zhu Yuncheng stared at the Ice God indifferently, "You can refuse, and I won't force you, but the 200,000 Qianyan Army will still enter your territory. At that time, I will order them to find a way to get food and military pay. If you dare to kill them, hmph."

Zhu Yuncheng did not continue speaking, but the powerful pressure made the Ice God understand one thing: if he really killed the people of the Thousand Rock Army, Zhidong would probably be completely destroyed.

But the Ice God was unwilling to give up. In winter, the ground was frozen and the food produced was scarce. The total population was no more than five million, and the army normally supported was no more than a hundred thousand. In order to fight this war, a 700,000-strong army was assembled, which had consumed one-third of the country's food. If there were another 200,000 Qianyan troops, it would take many years for the food reserves to recover.

This was the case even in winter, and Nata was even more unbearable. As far as the Ice God knew, the six major tribes had a combined population of only one million. How could they possibly afford the food and military pay for two hundred thousand people?

Gan Yu lowered his head and did not say any compromising words as he did before, because Zhu Yuncheng had told him the reason for this matter.

"After the surrender of Nata and Dongzhi, the seven kingdoms of Teyvat are now under my control. It is time to reduce the three million Thousand Rocks Army supported by Guili and let Guili withdraw from the state of war.

I estimate that we will have to lay off 1.5 million Qianyan troops, leaving only 1 million. And not all of these 1 million will be in Guili. They will be distributed to each of the six countries. Since there is a country between Zhidong and Nata, we need to send 200,000 Qianyan troops there."

Facing Zhu Yuncheng's cold gaze, Bingshen finally lowered his head: "I understand."

Zhu Yuncheng turned to look at the God of Fire.

The latter said: "Your men defeated me, you can do whatever you want with them."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuncheng smiled and stepped forward to help the two demon gods up: "You will not regret your decision today. Now go out and tell your people that the war is over. Guili has signed a peace treaty with your country."

Bingshen looked at Zhu Yuncheng's face, feeling extremely annoyed and wanting to punch him in the face.

A good one you won’t regret!

"Why don't we say that we admit defeat to you?"

"If so, will your people question your authority?" Zhu Yuncheng explained, "I have always advocated not to interfere with the Demon God's management of the people in the territory. You only need to come to Guili every three years to report to me the results of the past three years of governance and the next governance policy."

"Oh!" Kagami nodded, "I understand."

The Ice God muttered in his heart: "This Human King also knows that his territory is too large and difficult to govern, so he spoke to us like this. I guess the 200,000 Thousand Rock Army is also going there to monitor me and the Fire God."

----

Looking at the two gods' departing backs, the smile on Zhu Yuncheng's face disappeared, and he turned back to his seat: "Orobus."

"Human King." Orobas bowed slightly.

"In a few years, after the Zhenling and Lanaro clans have completed their training, we will let them go out to explore the traces of demons in various parts of Teyvat."

"Yes."

After unifying Teyvat, the next step is to resolve the war of demons. There are sixteen demons that Zhu Yuncheng knows about, namely Emperor, Guizhong, Hearth God, Orobas, Andrius, Barbatos, Raiden Zhen, Lei Dianying, Daci Tree King, Flower God, Remus, Egolia, Fire God, Ice God, Red King and Osel.

Among these sixteen, except for the sealed Red King and Osel, there are seven who need to be temporarily sealed by Zhu Yuncheng's Yin power. In this way, the pattern of seven gods has emerged, and all we need to do is kill the remaining demons or make them surrender.

"This last demon is really good at hiding."

In the blink of an eye, it was already a month later.

In the winter of Fontaine, the Nata coalition forces and the Thousand Rocks Army withdrew from Fontaine, and the God of Fire and the God of Ice also came to Guili City.

Looking at the towering city walls and the prosperous scenery inside the city, a dazed look appeared on the Ice God's face.

Even her palace cannot compare to such a city!

The God of Fire was like a curious baby, constantly sticking his head out to look at the scenery outside.

In the Human King's Palace, after the two were canonized as Dukes, they immediately received the annual salary of the two demon gods, eight million Mora.

In the side hall, Bingshen looked at the eighty neatly stacked bills and fell silent again.

After receiving their salaries and becoming Duke Zhidong and Duke Nata, they were completely bound to Guili. If they dared to leave the ship privately, they would face unpredictable consequences.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A series of footsteps were heard outside.

Only two humans wearing robes embroidered with stars were seen leading a group of humans wearing brocade clothes and holding a long wooden stick.

"Lord Ice God, Lord Fire God, I am returning to Tianquan Star."

"I am returning to Yaoguang Star."

One of the two Seven Stars saluted the demon god.

"Is there anything wrong?" The God of Fire picked up a sunset fruit, took a bite, and the juice splashed everywhere.

Yaoguangxing said respectfully: "Tianquanxing and I are here to discuss with the two Demon Lords about the mines in their respective territories."

As he spoke, he made a gesture and the subordinates behind him came over immediately, unfolded the long sticks they were holding, revealing a complete map of Nata and Winter Solstice, on which the water sources, tribes, and mine locations of the two countries were marked in detail.

Looking at the map, surprise appeared on the faces of the God of Fire and the God of Ice at the same time.

Tian Quanxing continued, "According to our understanding, the people of the two Demon Gods have mined a portion of the mine resources on the map, and most of the resources cannot be mined due to technical limitations. We, Guili, happen to have the technology to mine these resources, so we hope that the two Demon Gods can agree to sell these mineral resources to us and we will mine them. At the same time, we will also hire your people to help you develop your economy."

After hearing this, the Fire God asked curiously, "How much do you want to pay for returning?"

"We divide the mineral resources into three levels according to their richness and preciousness. The best level is priced at 100 million Moras, the next is 10 million Moras, and the worst is 1 million Moras." Yaoguangxing replied, "Mora is the common currency of Guili, Inazuma, Xumi, and Fontaine. One Mora can buy a steamed bun, and five Moras can buy the sunset fruit in your hand, Lord Vulcan."

"This is called Sunset Fruit?" The Fire God looked at the fruit in his hand that he had bitten off most of. "It's pretty good."

The God of Fire didn't care at all, but the God of Ice felt suffocated. He had not expected that in Guili's eyes, his country was like a person who was stripped naked and placed in the ice and snow, with no privacy at all.
