Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

As soon as it landed, Lantian subconsciously began to examine the salt in the ground.

Completely different from the salt flats I saw in my previous life, apart from the area it occupies, the area around the salt flats is not submerged by water, although there are still rivers and streams.

The environment looks quite nice, but unfortunately, it is very likely that this place will be submerged by a large amount of water due to the Demon God War in the future, and the terrain will be permanently changed.

“Um… Rolsheus, we’ve arrived. This is my territory, it’s just down below.”

Heuria pointed to the area beneath the salt flats and said to Blue Sky somewhat embarrassedly.

There's no way around it. After witnessing the prosperity of Guixiuli, looking back at my own salt in the earth is just too much of a contrast, and it's hard to put into words.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Why is there such a huge gap between demon gods?

"Heureia, just call me Blue Sky. That is my name in this mortal world. Calling me by my demon name all the time will make us seem very distant. We are family now."

Blue Sky gently shook his head, correcting Heuria's way of addressing him, then shifted his gaze from the Salt of the Earth below to Heuria beside him, and spoke earnestly.

"Are you ready? If you need some mental preparation, I can wait for you. But if you are ready, then I will come down with you."

Upon hearing Lan Tian's words, Heureia took a deep breath and said seriously:

"Yes, I'm all ready. Let's go in."

Blue Sky nodded, and then Heuria waved her hand to remove the barrier at the entrance to the Salt of the Earth. Blue Sky then followed Heuria into the Salt of the Earth.

After landing, Lan Tian looked around and found that the salt in the ground was much larger than what he had seen in his previous life, and the environment was not as rudimentary as what he had seen in the game.

However, it was truly dark; if it weren't for the many Noctiluca stones providing illumination, it would have been almost like a pitch-black night.

As the two ventured deeper, traces of human activity began to appear in the blue sky's Shura's field of vision.

Since they lived underground, the people of Heureia didn't need to build houses at all. They simply carved out a cave in the rock wall, similar to the cave dwellings of their previous life, as their home.

As for lighting inside the cave, simply placing a piece of nephrite stone in the center of the cave is sufficient.

"Was this land transformed by your power, Heureia?"

Looking at the cave and then at the scattered fields of wheat and other crops on the other side, Lantian turned to Heuria, who was walking beside him, and spoke.

"Yes, blue sky."

Heuria nodded upon hearing this and explained:

"The land here was originally quite barren, but after I infused it with my power, it was able to grow some crops, but the yield was quite limited."

"Yes, just as I guessed."

Upon hearing Heuria's explanation, Lan Tian immediately wore an expression of utter surprise.

Even so, despite the curious glances cast by some of the people around them toward the blue sky beside Heuria, the two did not linger.

A moment later, led by Heuria, Blue Sky and Heuria arrived at Heuria's palace, which was the only building in the entire Salt Flat.

The entire palace was built on several rocks, and the main building materials were naturally stone and mooring stone. As for the architectural style...

Blue Sky could only say that it was similar to the Morax stone, with no significant difference.

If there's any difference... it's that Heureia's palace walls have carved patterns.

Just as Lan Tian was standing at the palace gate looking her up and down, as soon as Heulia returned to her palace, the leaders immediately surrounded her, placing her in the center.

As for the overall management of underground salt deposits, Lan Tian can summarize it in one sentence:

It is similar to a management structure called the divine right of kings in a previous life.

In other words, a king received permission from the gods to govern the people throughout his entire territory.

And this king was the subject next to Heuria who wore a purple hat, and was also the only subject present who wore a hat.

At this moment, the king, along with all his so-called ministers, was gathered around Heuria, discussing amongst themselves, while simultaneously casting unfriendly glances at the blue sky behind Heuria as she stepped into the palace.

Feeling their gazes, Lan Tian found it all rather ridiculous.

They hadn't done anything yet, and the demonic aura emanating from him was clearly much stronger than that of Heuria. Didn't they sense it?

Unexpectedly, in this age of demons, they, as humans, actually dared to harbor malice towards a demon, and a high-ranking one at that?

What, just because Heulia gave them some face, do they think they can uproot a willow tree?

Who gave them the courage?

Few demons would accept such subjects, as they would easily make enemies.

"Lord Salt God, why have you been gone to Guixiu for so long?"

"Yes, yes, we haven't heard from you for several days now, Lord Salt God."

"Lord Salt God, who is this?"

...

"Lord Salt God, is the reason you haven't heard from him for the past few days because of him?"

The king spoke to Heuria, while simultaneously casting an unfriendly glance at Lantian, who had just arrived beside Heuria.

"Ha, kid, you've already found your way to death."

Noticing the king's gaze, Lan Tian sneered inwardly, because even if Heulia didn't mess with him, Lan Tian would.

“I only visited Guixiuli for a few days and made a decision that concerns the future of the entire Salt Island. There’s no need to worry.”

Heureia spoke coldly, turning to look at the blue sky beside her, and introduced:

"And the one beside me is the demon god from Guixiuli, the demon god with the title of Asura War God, the Asura Demon God Rorsius."

Herria's words were concise and to the point, and Blue Sky secretly gave Herria a look full of satisfaction.

Previously, when Heuria was showing Guixiuli to Morax and the others, Heuria had told them that when she was surrounded by those leaders, her first reaction was to apologize profusely and explain herself, rather than speaking coldly and concisely like she did now.

Because the current Heureia is no longer the cowardly Heureia of the past.

When the group heard that Lan Tian was actually a demon god from Guixiuli, the entire palace fell silent instantly.

Besides hearing the word "Shura" again, they also heard about Lan Tian's title—the God of War of Shura, a title that was legendary among the people of the Salt of the Earth!

There was no other reason than that everyone had witnessed Lan Tian's full-force Fiery Dragon Roar a while ago. This was a terrifying killing god who could cause a large-scale small earthquake with his attacks!

If you accidentally upset him, he might just unleash the same attack he did before, causing the entire Salt Flats to disappear from the Teyvat continent, replaced by a huge crater!

[Good heavens! Lord Salt God, how could you have invited such a terrifying god of death here?!]

As those leaders thought this to themselves, they suddenly felt a shiver run through their bodies, and began to sweat profusely, with cold sweat involuntarily beading on their foreheads.

"Salt...Lord Salt God, could you tell us what you have done regarding the future fate of the salt in the earth?"

The king wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to speak to Heuria, while secretly glancing at Lantian. He noticed that Lantian was walking around the palace with great interest, constantly examining the furnishings. No one could guess what Lantian was thinking.

Lan Tian's indifferent attitude immediately relieved the leaders slightly, but they still forced themselves to look at Heulia.

After all, Heureia had just said that she had made a decision about the future of the Salt of the Earth, and everyone present was not a fool. In addition, with the appearance of the Asura God Rorsius, they would naturally understand and guess the relationship between the two.

[I wonder what kind of decision the Salt God made that could affect the future fate of all the salt in the earth.]

Those leaders thought this way, and Heureia also felt there was nothing to hide on this matter, so she spoke directly:

"I have decided to bring the entire Salt of the Earth to join Guixiuli. This is not only because Guixiuli has several demon gods overseeing it, but also because the environment in Guixiuli is much better than here. This is undoubtedly a win-win situation for us."

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except for Lan Tian and Heulia, simultaneously wore the same "black guy with a question mark" expression.

The king, in particular, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Join Guixiuli? Are you kidding me!

Although life in the salt flats is tough, what does it matter to them? It's not like they're the ones suffering.

However, if they follow Lord Salt God and join Gui Xiuli, they will lose their rights and status, ending up like those people outside who are ruthlessly oppressed by them. At that time, they might even be bitten back by those people they oppressed!

No! Absolutely not! We absolutely cannot let this happen!

We must earnestly advise Lord Salt God not to let him lead them to join Guixiuli!

The problem is, the Asura War God from Guixiuli is right here in this palace!

If they dare to openly slander Gui Xiuli in front of this Asura War God... that would undoubtedly be a suicidal act of courting death!

Thinking this, the king and his ministers subconsciously turned their heads to look at the nearby blue sky.

However, it turned out that Lan Tian, ​​who had already reached the palace entrance to admire the stone carvings, was focused on the stone carvings inside the Heuria Palace and had no intention of interfering in their salt-producing affairs at all.

Upon seeing this, the leaders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

[It seems there's still a chance. We absolutely cannot let Lord Salt God lead us to join Guixiuli! Absolutely not!]

However, while these leaders were making such plans in their hearts, Lan Tian, ​​who seemed to have never been in this circle, had already seen through them all.

In fact, when Blue Sky arrived at the Salt of the Earth, he had already noticed the anomalies in Heuria's territory.

Although there is much arable land in the Salt of the Earth, the people who live outside Heuria’s palace are generally very thin and appear listless. They seem weak and uninterested in tilling the land.

This is clearly a result of malnutrition.

And what about the leaders who lived in Heureia's palace?

Not only were they all plump and ruddy-faced, but they also looked radiant and full of energy.

In addition, Lan Tian keenly caught a faint hint of disdain and greed in the eyes of these leaders, and he immediately guessed the whole story.
