Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

With the encouragement of Lan Tian and others, scenes from the past in the territory began to replay in Heuria's mind.

Go back to a few days ago.

A scout from the Salt of the Earth returned from Guixiuli and told everyone in the Salt God's Palace what he had seen.

"You mean... the God of Asura led his three hundred Asura Knights to annihilate the dense horde of demons at the foot of Tianheng Mountain, and established the Tianheng Mountain Defense Line on Tianheng Mountain?"

Heureia, who was in the center of the group, listened to the information that the scout had gathered, and her face was immediately filled with shock. She asked incredulously to confirm it.

Not only Heuria, but even the leaders surrounding her were filled with disbelief.

"Yes, Lord Salt God. Furthermore, the Asura God was merely observing the battle and did not intervene to deal with the horde of demons. It was the people of the Asura Palace who dealt with them through close cooperation using various defensive formations, and... not a single person was injured!"

hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone's mouths dropped open, their jaws nearly hitting the ground!

It's terrifying that only 300 people have such fighting power!

If these three hundred people were to attack the salt of the earth... perhaps only the Salt God could contend with them... but would the Salt God... really intervene?

With that in mind, the leaders surrounding Heuria began to discuss among themselves.

"My God! That's a monster tide!"

"Yes, they were densely packed, with no end in sight. Yet these three hundred knights of the Asura Hall were able to fight them head-on for half an hour without suffering any casualties, and even eliminated most of the demons. It's terrifying!"

"Yes, that's terrifying! If it were us, we wouldn't have been able to stop it at all!"

"If they attack us... I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them off for even a quarter of an hour..."

……

"Not only that, but shortly after the Tianheng Mountain defense line was completed, the Asura God personally killed the Swamp God. You all know about the tremors a while ago, and that huge fiery red cloud that rose from the ground in the sky, right? That was caused by the Asura God's full-force attack!"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky! A collective gasp filled the room!

"Hiss! Goodness, that tremor was almost like a small earthquake. You're telling me it was caused by that Asura God? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

One of the leaders, clearly skeptical, pressed the scout for an answer.

"It's absolutely true. I was watching from a distance near Guixiuli's city wall at the time, but even I was instantly thrown to the ground by the shockwave from that massive explosion. The temperature around us rose several degrees. It was terrifying. That was an attack that no god could possibly unleash!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout recalled the scene, his face immediately showing a look of lingering fear. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued:

"If it weren't for this, I would have returned days ago. It's absolutely terrifying! We can't even find the corpse of that swamp god! All that's left is a huge crater!"

Upon hearing this, another collective gasp rippled through the crowd. They instinctively turned their gazes to Heuria in the center, anxiously asking:

"Lord Salt God, what should we do? If Gui Xiuli attacks us, we won't be able to stop him at all!"

"Yes, Lord Salt God, what should we do? There's nowhere left for us to hide!"

"Lord Salt God, what should we do now?"

……

Seeing everyone around her asking what to do next, Heureia spoke hesitantly:

“I…I think…Gui Xiuli probably won’t attack us, because Gui Xiuli has always prioritized peace. Although the Asura God’s powerful victory over the Swamp God was indeed terrifying, it was the Swamp God who started the conflict. And…”

Heureia looked at everyone and then said:

"We chose to live in seclusion here to avoid participating in the brutal war between demons and gods, and Gui Xiuli certainly wouldn't attack us without a reason..."

Even so, Heureia herself felt very uncertain when she said those words.

Although Heureia's words were true, they were not entirely satisfactory to the leaders, who then began to be aggressive towards her:

"Lord Salt God! You are a demon god, you should understand better than us that this war between demon gods will only have one victor from the very beginning!"

"Yes, Gui Xiuli will definitely not let us go, nor will he let any of the demons in this area go. They will make their move sooner or later!"

"This war will inevitably befall us sooner or later. Are we destined to keep hiding forever, Lord Salt God?"

"We have lost our fertile land, our vast territory, and our blue skies. Now, because of this war, we have lost all means and channels of trade, and can only cower in this small, dark underground area. Even self-sufficiency has become a problem. We have nowhere to retreat! Lord Salt God!"

"Lord Salt God! Please face this problem directly, stop running away!"

The reason these leaders were so aggressive toward Heuria was because of her cowardly nature.

Under Heuria's rule, the people who lived and worked with her in her territory had completely eroded the demonic prestige that belonged solely to Heuria.

Due to prolonged avoidance and concessions, Heureia's people are clearly very dissatisfied with her, but the tipping point for an explosion has not yet been reached.

Faced with her people's aggressive words, Heureia took a step back, covered her chest with her hands, and spoke hesitantly:

"Regarding this matter... I will think about it carefully... You can all go now, I need someone to think of a solution."

Heureia's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

"In that case, Lord Salt God, please think carefully and find a solution to this problem! You must find one!"

After leaving these few words, the leaders and the spy turned and left Heureia's palace.

As the palace fell silent, Heureia collapsed onto her throne, her face filled with helplessness and self-reproach.

"I haven't seen my people smile from the heart for a long time. Have all my decisions been wrong all along?"

Looking at her own hands, Heureia fell silent, beginning to consider her next move.

After several days of agonizing deliberation, Herria finally decided to go to Guixiuli herself.

While Heureia sat on the throne in contemplation, the leaders outside the palace often gathered at the palace gate, whispering or complaining about their own deity.

"Lord Salt God... isn't that a bit too cowardly?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Lord Salt God constantly leading us to hide and live in this dark underground environment, this situation would never have happened to us!"

"Never mind, you all know Lord Salt God's personality. It's already good enough that he's alive."

"Forget it? What do you mean by forget it? Isn't the world outside our home?"

Clearly, in the minds of these leaders, if Heureia was willing to fight to protect her territory and to protect them, then there was no need for them to hide in this salt flats and eke out a living.

Therefore, they naturally attributed the cause of all this to their own Salt God!

Little did they know that Heurelia had overheard everything they had said over the past few days inside the palace.

Ironically, Heureia's first reaction upon hearing this was not anger or rage, but rather a deep sense of self-reproach for her own incompetence.

……

Now, in the courtyard above the inner city of Guixiu, everyone has returned to the conference table.

"I see. I didn't expect your people to be so disrespectful to you, Heuria. It seems that even if they came to our Guixiuli, they would definitely think that we are like you back then, willing to do anything for them. Humph! How noisy!"

After listening to Heuria's account, Blue Sky slammed his fist heavily on the table, his expression clearly turning grim.

Not only Lan Tian, ​​but also Morax and Gui Zhong looked rather grim.

Luo Xue, seated behind Lan Tian, ​​gripped the Shura Spear, which Lan Tian had personally forged for her, tightly in both hands, looking as if she wanted to stab the leaders into their bodies immediately.

If Luo Xue were to treat Lan Tian like that, she definitely wouldn't do it, because Lan Tian is not only her savior, but also a god and master worthy of respect and following.

"But... Blue Sky, perhaps there are still some rational people in Heuria's territory, but how can we distinguish them?"

Although Gui Zhong's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, he still asked Lan Tian.

Heurelia, Morax, and the others also turned their gaze to the blue sky.

"Simple."

Lan Tian gently patted Luo Xue's shoulder behind him to calm her down, then turned to look at everyone and said coldly.

"Since they are so disrespectful to Heulia, I will personally visit Heulia's territory and find out for myself! I don't care if they are mules or horses, I will be able to recognize them at a glance!"

After saying that, Lan Tian turned to look at Heulia beside him and said solemnly:

"Heureia, I'll personally accompany you to your territory later to investigate and help you select the qualified subjects. What do you think?"

Heuria, whose expression was also somewhat unpleasant, nodded without hesitation upon hearing this and said:

"Yes, as you wish, Rolsheus. Right now... I'm just very disappointed and angry with my leaders!"
