Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Looking at the land receding into the distance behind them, the group felt reluctant to leave, but they quickly shook off the somber atmosphere and began chatting with those around them or the soldiers who were taking a break after their shifts.

Meanwhile, Lan Tian and the semi-transparent projection of Fukalos were sitting side by side on the edge of the flying sword, swinging their legs and chatting happily, like a sweet couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time, attracting the attention of many couples and lovers.

Morax stood at the very front of the flying sword, holding an exquisite teacup in his hand, sipping tea while gazing at the surrounding scenery, giving off an air of a transcendent immortal standing high above, overlooking the world.

Gui Zhong, on the other hand, was like a curious child, looking around on his flying sword. He would either chat with Lan Tian and Fukalos for a few minutes, or joke around with Morax who was drinking tea, or put the glass lily wreath that Lan Tian had woven on Morax's head.

Morax's serious expression, coupled with the beautiful and exquisite glass lily wreath... well... the contrast was too strong, immediately causing Blue Sky, Fucaros, and Guizhong to burst into laughter. Morax, on the other hand, simply shook his head helplessly and uttered a famous line that perfectly reflected his current mood:

"Uh, I feel a little tired."

The projection of Fucaros is achieved by Blue Sky using its own power and the necklace on Fucaros as a medium, mobilizing Fucaros's consciousness and constructing a semi-transparent body for her so that it can be projected onto its side.

Blue Sky could certainly construct a complete body for Fucaros, but in the current situation, Blue Sky does not have enough divine power to maintain Fucaros's body for long.

After Fukalos was projected onto the blue sky, it immediately attracted the attention of Morax and Guizhong.

After Lantian briefly introduced everyone to each other, they chatted for a while before going about their own business.

"Brother Blue Sky, are you saying that you are leading all your people to relocate to a new territory right now?"

"Yes, that's right. Because the original place was too small, and the territory had too many people. It would be easy for something to go wrong if we continued to live there."

"So those forty-four large flying swords behind you are all your and Morax's people? That's incredible."

Sparkling stars appeared in Fukaros's heterochromatic blue eyes as she gazed at the blue sky around her with a mixture of shock and admiration. The ahoge (cowlick) on her head stood up excitedly, making her look especially adorable.

“Hehe… Fucarus.”

Seeing Fukalos's adorable appearance, Lantian couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Lantian?"

Upon hearing this, Fukalos blinked, tilted her head slightly, and spoke in a somewhat dazed manner.

You looked so cute just now.

"Huh? Huh—? Brother Blue Sky! You...don't joke with me!"

Fukalos was taken aback by what she heard, then her pretty face flushed red. She subconsciously raised her hands and waved them hurriedly between the two of them, looking a little flustered.

"Puhahaha, Fukalos, do you know how cute you look right now?"

Blue Sky was amused by Fukalos's adorable appearance and couldn't help but tease her again.

"Um...please...please stop teasing me, Brother Blue Sky."

Fukaros lowered her head shyly, looked away, put her hands behind her back and fidgeted, steam rising from her head and her ahoge (cowlick) falling down in embarrassment, and replied in a coquettish tone.

"Haha, okay, whatever you say~"

Lan Tian's tone became more indulgent, which deepened the blush on Fukalos's face.

“They have such a good relationship, don’t you think, Morax?”

Behind Lan Tian, ​​Gui Zhong sighed as he watched the two of them being so intimate, then looked at Morax, who had a faint smile on his face.

“That’s for sure. My old friend told me that he signed a friendship contract with Fucaros, and one of the contents of the contract is to occasionally accompany Fucaros. In addition, I can see a lot of tenderness and love in my old friend’s eyes.”

Morax took a sip of tea and said in a serious tone.

"Can I sign a contract like theirs with you?"

Gui Zhong looked at Morax with a smile.

"Uh... there's really no need for that."

Morax said, embarrassed.

"Giggle cluck..."

Gui covered his mouth and laughed.

……

Two days passed in this joyful atmosphere, and the group successfully arrived at Guizhong's territory.

As Lan Tian and his group arrived, the people of Guizhong below were immediately drawn to the spectacular sight in the sky, and they were all speechless with astonishment.

After all, no one expected that forty-five enormous manned flying swords would fly over from the sky, even though Gui Zhong had explained the situation to them in advance.

Under the astonished gazes of those below, Lan Tian began to direct all the flying swords to descend one by one, while Morax and Fucaros stood silently behind Lan Tian watching, and Gui Zhong greeted his people.

Half an hour later, all the people on the flying sword gathered together under the command and guidance of Lan Tian and many Thousand Rock Army soldiers and Asura Knights, waiting for Lan Tian and Morax's arrangements.

After discussions with Gui Zhong and Morax, Lan Tian and Morax led their people to settle in the western and northern parts of Gui Zhong's town, while Fukalos, at Lan Tian's request, toured and visited Gui Zhong's territory with him.

Considering the large number of people, Lan Tian directly used the authority of construction to replicate the buildings in the original territory one by one.

With flashes of light, simple wooden houses sprang up like mushrooms after rain on the plain, leaving the many Guizhong people and their own people who came to watch in awe.

However, the group soon discovered a brick house with a rudimentary architectural style reminiscent of the future Liyue Harbor, but without a roof, standing alone outside the simple wooden house, and began to speculate about Lantian's intentions.

Seeing this, Lan Tian also began his speech.

"Ahem... You all saw that brick house, right? That's the surprise I wanted to give you later. But right now, I can't complete the entire structure of the house on my own, so I'll go and find all the materials that are missing. Once it's done, you can build the house you want by referring to the brick structure I've provided. But for now, you should rest well in those wooden houses and not overwork yourselves."

After saying that, Lan Tian smiled, turned around, and left to look for building materials.

It wasn't that Lan Tian was too lazy to build more, but the two days of flying on his sword and the construction of so many simple wooden houses had already exhausted most of his power. If he continued to build, he would have to burn his own life force, which would be a huge loss.

Moreover, the brick house we just saw looked very rough. It was a real brick house, made entirely of bricks. As for why there wasn't a single tile on the roof, it was because Lan Tian didn't know the elemental structure of tiles and needed to go out to find the raw materials for making tiles. He had no choice but to resort to this measure.

Morax spoke up after Blue Sky left.

"Next, my old friend will go to find building materials. We, his subjects, will follow the instructions of the soldiers and settle into our respective residences in an orderly manner, awaiting his return."

After saying this, Morax began arranging for his people to settle in.

Three hours later, after the people had settled down, Lantian returned.

Amidst many expectant gazes, the blue sky constructed exquisite tiles to cover the roof of the brick house.

The roof with its upturned eaves, made of individual tiles, immediately attracted the attention of many people, who scrutinized it with curious eyes.

After completing the roof, Lan Tian used the power he had recovered during the time he was searching for materials to construct a large amount of all the materials needed to build the brick house on the outskirts of his territory.

According to the different categories of each material, Blue Sky also separates them into different areas, with each type of material piled up in one area to facilitate people's handling and selection.

After finishing all this, the exhausted Blue Sky informed Morax and then went to Guizhong's palace to rest and brew some tea he had brought.

After drinking tea for a while, Gui Zhong and Fukalos returned from their tour.

After chatting for a while, Fukaros took his leave at Gui Zhong's prompting glance.

"Brother Blue Sky, I should go back now. I can't keep lying in bed communicating with you through my consciousness, and you must be very tired."

"That's right, Lantian, you really need to rest now. There's a big project waiting for you tomorrow."

Gui Zhong also chimed in, because in her perception, Lan Tian's divine power was almost completely exhausted, and if it continued, it would deplete his very essence.

Fucaros only offered his farewell after receiving a telepathic message and a meaningful glance from Guizhong.

"Alright, goodbye then, Fucarus. I'll get some rest."

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Blue Sky."

After Fukaros said goodbye, Blue Sky released the projection of Fukaros's consciousness.

Fucarus's projection began to dissipate from bottom to top, and in the last moment before it disappeared, Fucarus gave a sweet smile to the blue sky before vanishing.

"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

Gui Zhong joked.

"Haha, you seem to really enjoy it, don't you? You've been touring and sightseeing with them for two hours now. It must feel great to have found a close friend."

Lan Tian smiled, raised an eyebrow at Gui Zhong, and gave him a look that said, "How do you feel?"

"Hehehe, no need for 'close friend,' but Fukaros is such a lovely little girl. Not only is she sweet and elegant, but she also has a very innocent and lively personality. Although she's not as strong as us, she has two demon gods standing behind her~"

"Of course, hahahahaha."

Lan Tian and Gui Zhong looked at each other and smiled, then laughed out loud together.

The two began chatting, and Morax, who had just returned, joined their conversation, and they got along very well.

After chatting for a while, Lan Tian seemed to have thought of something and began to think about it.

Gui Zhong and Morax fell silent upon seeing this, staring at Lan Tian without speaking until Lan Tian raised his head and began to ask questions.

"Old friend, are you thinking of something thorny?"

"No need to hide anything, just tell us everything, Lantian, so we can help you solve the problem."

Lan Tian shook his head upon hearing this and chuckled softly:

"It's not exactly tricky, but it suddenly occurred to me that none of the three of us have ever given our territory a name. You see, this territory we're in right now is jointly governed by the three of us gods, which would be almost impossible for other demon gods. So I'm thinking about whether we should give our territory a name that has special meaning."

Upon hearing this, the other two also lowered their heads in unison, their faces showing deep thought.

Lan Tian wasn't in a hurry; instead, he drank his tea and waited.

“My old friend, I have no particular objection to the name of the territory.”

Morax spoke first.

"Hmm... I don't have any ideas either. Since the original owner of this place was Gui Zhong, I'd like to hear Gui Zhong's opinion first. Gui Zhong, did you have any plans for what to call this territory?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian looked at Gui Zhong, who seemed to be deep in thought.

“Hmm… Originally, I planned to name the territory Guimo Yuan after signing the contract with Morax, but now that I have to add you, Blue Sky, I’ll have to come up with a new name.”

"Gui Moyuan? What a strange title. Gui Zhong, you wouldn't be..."

Lan Tianchao gave him a strange look.

"hey-hey…"

Gui Zhong scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

"It seems our Sister Guizhong has been planning this for a long time~ She intended to sign a contract with Morax a long time ago! She even came up with a name for the territory, tsk tsk tsk."

Lan Tian, ​​with a mischievous grin, teased Gui Zhong and Morax.

"Cough cough cough."

Morax coughed, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Ugh, blue sky!"

"Hey~"

Gui Zhong playfully punched Lan Tian's shoulder, while Lan Tian chuckled and let Gui Zhong's fist land on his shoulder.

The somewhat somber atmosphere, which had been heavy with people deep in thought, began to lighten up after Lantian and Guizhong's playful banter.

"Gui Zhong, why don't you take one first, and let my old friend and I listen to it? If it's not good, we'll take another one."

Morax interrupted their playful fight.

"Hmm, that's fine. In my opinion, we should let Gui Zhong, the smartest among us, choose the name."

"Hehe, okay, then I'll have to think about it carefully..."

Lan Tian and Gui Zhong sat down one after the other upon hearing this, while Gui Zhong's bright gray eyes rolled around as he rested his chin on one hand and began to think.

Blue Sky also began to think, but not about the name of the territory, but about something else.

[Based on the title Gui Zhong just gave, he probably wants to combine one character from each of our three names to form the name of our territory, so what's next...?]

As if to confirm Lan Tian's words, Gui Zhong's next words made Lan Tian facepalm.

"How about we name it Gui Lanmo?"

Snapped!

Blue Sky slammed his right hand heavily on his forehead, looking speechless, while Morax said with a helpless expression:

"From a purely rational standpoint, my old friend and I both feel that this title is inappropriate."

"I understand the first two characters, Gui Zhong, but the last one just seems weird to me! Morax, please tell me Gui Zhong, your mortal name."

Lan Tian complained, utterly speechless, then waved his hand helplessly at Morax.

"Ahem, my mortal name is Zhongli."

"Oh, okay, let me think of another one, hehe..."

Gui was a little embarrassed by their reactions and scratched his head with an awkward smile.

"No need. In my opinion, let's just call it Gui Xiuli."
