Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Seeing that Heuria had made her choice, Blue Sky, who had been observing from the sidelines, looked at the leaders who had now become salt sculptures and shook his head with regret.

There are always creatures on earth that dare to challenge the authority of the demon god, and they die without any injustice.

"Ugh."

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Lantian approached Heulia, who was sobbing in place, with a complicated expression.

With a flick of his right hand, a handkerchief carrying the faint scent of white spider lilies appeared in Lantian's hand. He began to wipe away Heulia's tears, comforting her:

“Those who disrespect the gods have all been punished with salt. I am sorry, Heureia, for making you do something that goes against your original intentions, but... this is reality, a cruel reality.”

Lan Tian's expression was very complicated at this moment, because in Heulia, Lan Tian saw himself before, when he first wielded a knife against a human who was powerless to even kill a chicken, in the Demon God of Disease.

"Um……"

Heureia didn't speak, but simply nodded silently, sobbing with her head down:

"Blue...Blue Sky, can...can I lean against it for a while?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian nodded without hesitation, removed his Thunderclap Armor, changed back into civilian clothes, and then gently embraced Heuria, patting her back softly.

Blue Sky knew that Heuria's emotions were somewhat unstable and she needed to vent them.

After all... even demons love people... especially Heureia, a demon with an extremely gentle personality...

Seeing this, Heuria buried her face in Lantian's chest, grabbed his clothes with both hands, and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the past few centuries.

Because Heuria felt that she no longer had to live in fear, and could shoulder the burden with Gui Xiuli's Blue Sky and Morax, and face this cruel war between demons together.

"Heureia, everything that happened before is in the past. You are now Heureia of Guixiuli, one of us, not that weak and incompetent Heureia who cowers in the salt of the earth, barely clinging to life..."

Lan Tian gently patted Heulia's back while softly comforting the emotionally distraught Heulia in his arms, much like a wise and gentle older brother gently comforting his crying younger sister.

In a sense, Blue Sky could indeed be Heuria's older brother, or even... her senior.

After all, putting aside their own strength, Lan Tian is already over two thousand years old, while Heulia is only around one thousand years old.

To put it simply, in terms of human lifespan, Blue Sky is like an older brother who is a few years older than Heuria.

If it were Morax, who's over three thousand years old, he'd probably be old enough to be Heuria's father, hehe~ (?w?)

P.S.: [Ahem~ The author is simply trying to create a story here, please do not over-interpret or speculate.]

Half an hour later.

Now that Heuria had calmed down, she gently nudged Lantian, signaling that he could let go of her.

"Blue Sky, I lost my composure just now. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble."

Looking at the large patch of Lantian's clothes soaked with her tears, Heuria pinched her lips somewhat embarrassedly and opened her mouth.

Meanwhile, Heureia's inner thoughts are also quite fascinating:

【Ahhh! What's going on?! Why did I suddenly want to cry in Lantian's arms, and Lantian actually agreed?! How embarrassing! I let Lantian see such a shameful side of myself! But... Lantian was just comforting me, he was so gentle...】

At this moment, Blue Sky was unaware of Heuria's inner thoughts. He simply chuckled, shook his head, and handed the handkerchief in his hand to Heuria, saying:

"It's alright, we're practically family now, so we should help each other out when we're in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian snapped his fingers and summoned the Thunder Armor again. Heuria nodded slightly and subconsciously looked at the rag that Lan Tian handed her.

The entire handkerchief is white with light gray stripes along the edges. It is also embroidered with a Nuo mask and a red spider lily, making it look very delicate, yet not without a touch of solemnity.

"Is this for me? Blue Sky?"

After examining the rag in her hand for a while, Heuria, with slightly red eyes, looked up at the blue sky in front of her with some curiosity.

"Well, please accept it, Heuria. Consider it a gift from me to you as a token of our friendship. It also serves as a special keepsake for your joining Guixiuli."

Blue Sky nodded gently, smiled tenderly at Heulia, and explained.

Heuria felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and gave Lantian a genuine, gentle smile, expressing her gratitude:

"Thank you, Blue Sky."

Heureia then carefully folded and put the handkerchief away, looking up at the blue sky and saying:

"Blue Sky, I will go and gather all the people of the Salt of the Earth now, and we will return to Guixiuli immediately."

"So good."

Turning his head to look at the dozens of salt sculptures behind him, Lan Tian followed Heulia and left the palace without looking back.

A moment later, as Heureia soared into the air, she used her divine power to unleash a dazzling white light over the entire Salt Flats, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

[That's... Lord Salt God? Is there something to announce?]

All the inhabitants of the Salt Flats instinctively looked up at Heuria in the sky, thinking the same thing to themselves.

Meanwhile, Heureia in the air immediately announced that she had signed a contract with Gui Xiuli and planned to take everyone to Gui Xiuli.

Meanwhile, Heuria instructed the people to immediately pack their belongings and head to the exit of the Salt of the Earth, where the God of Asura was already waiting for them.

In an instant, the salt in the ground began to boil, and people put down their work and began to pack their belongings.

After a period of intense preparation, all the people of the Saltland had arrived at the Saltland's exit.

After confirming that everyone had arrived, Heureia used her divine power to lift up her people and send them outside the Salt Flats.

Decades later, the people of Saltland once again set foot on this land and saw the azure sky once more.

Many people's eyes began to glisten with tears as a result.

Because they have returned to the land they once longed for.

Meanwhile, Blue Sky, who had left the Salt Flats a step ahead, had been waiting for a long time on the flying sword hovering low in the sky.

"My people, children of the salt of the earth! I am Rolxus, the demon god of Asura from Guixiuli. In accordance with the contract we made with your Salt God, I have come today to take you home. Come aboard!"

Standing atop one of the three enormous flying swords at their center, Lan Tian waved amiably to the people of the Salt of the Earth before him, greeting them.

A dozen minutes later, under Heuria's command, the people of the Salt of the Earth formed three long lines and boarded the flying sword in the blue sky in an orderly manner. Sitting on the flying sword, they kept marveling at the power of the blue sky and Heuria's wisdom.

"Hold on tight, we're off now!"

After Heuria landed beside him, Lan Tian controlled the three giant flying swords, the Salt of the Earth, and slowly flew towards Gui Xiuli in the distance.
