Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"hehe…"

Luo Xue's disheveled appearance as she fled in panic amused Lan Tian.

After laughing for a while, Lan Tian turned around and jumped into the tunnel.

Lan Tian patted the earthen slope of the tunnel and nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right. This land is often affected by external factors, so the soil is quite hard. No wonder the workers had such a hard time digging. It’s perfect for using as sandbags.”

After saying that, Lan Tian even stretched his arms and legs, making a series of cracking sounds.

"It's been a while since I've practiced physical skills, let's see how I catch up, ha!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian threw a short punch at the earthen slope in front of him without hesitation.

The earthen slope, which was originally difficult for the workers to dig, was blown up by the blue sky and instantly turned into scattered gravel on the ground.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone who was still eating, and they all turned their heads to cast curious glances.

Before everyone could stand up, Lan Tian's voice came from the tunnel:

"You don't need to worry about me. I'm just helping you dig the tunnel. You can continue eating."

Don't worry?

How is this possible!

Our own deity has personally come down to help dig the tunnel, how can we not care!

"You don't need to worry about me... Ha! We can talk about it after you finish eating! Hey! This is a good opportunity for me to practice my martial arts. Just wait for me to come back!"

Bang bang bang!

Seeing the sand and gravel flying everywhere in the tunnel, and realizing that Lan Tian was throwing punches and shouting at the same time, everyone had no choice but to obediently sit back down and continue eating, while starting to discuss the situation with those around them:

"Don't you think what the God of War said just now was a bit strange?"

"That's true, but wasn't the God of War digging in the ground? What does that have to do with physical skills?"

"I remember the God of War's physical skills were very powerful... Wait, could it be..."

"Um... well, you don't think the same thing as me, do you?"

The atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Everyone present, except for the Asura Knight, began to look at each other in bewilderment, followed by a chorus of swallowing sounds.

Because they could vaguely guess that their own God of War... seemed to be clearing a path with his fists right now!

Before the workers could think any further, Luo Xue's clear, cold voice rang out:

"Your guess is correct. The God of War saw that you were having too much trouble digging the soil, so in order not to delay the project, he had no choice but to personally step in and help you dig with his fists."

After speaking, Luo Xue cast a respectful glance toward the tunnel where Lan Tian was.

Such approachable deities are rare these days.

After hearing Luo Xue's words, everyone couldn't help but cast a look of awe at the tunnel where Lan Tian was located.

Half an hour later, as Lan Tian's fists continued to fall, dust and sand flew everywhere in the tunnel, and stones were occasionally blasted out of the tunnel. Many workers and Shura Knights were stunned in place.

There's no other reason than that the blue sky at this moment still transforms into a human-shaped excavator, having already dug more than two thousand meters into the tunnel, its excavation efficiency even faster than that of the workers working at the other end of the tunnel.

The workers in the same tunnel as Lantian simply followed behind him, shoveling out the sand and soil that Lantian had scattered on the ground or using it to fill any gaps in the tunnel. It was an easy job for them.

So much so that after witnessing Lantian's continuous digging for twenty minutes, the workers in the other tunnel simply gave up and turned around to help apply cement or move building materials in the tunnel Lantian had dug so that the foundation could be laid quickly.

Lan Tian himself was already caught up in the fight, and his fists alone could no longer satisfy his ever-growing fighting spirit.

As a result, the many workers behind the blue sky could vaguely see their own deity occasionally delivering a few whip kicks, straight kicks, or roundhouse kicks to the earthen slope, which truly opened their eyes.

Soon, it was sunset.

After a full day of physical training, a tunnel stretching over twenty kilometers appeared before everyone's eyes, and Lan Tian took a rare break to rest for a moment.

After stretching his arms and legs, Lantian, covered in dust from the sandstorm, removed his Shura Nuo mask, shook off the dust, and then jumped out of the tunnel and sat down on the edge, slightly raising his head to look at the sunset on the horizon.

At this moment, Luo Xue, who had been closely following behind Lan Tian, ​​approached Lan Tian and handed him a white and blue wet towel.

Although Lan Tian could use water elemental power to cleanse himself, he did not choose to do so. Instead, he took the wet towel that Luo Xue handed him and wiped his face properly. Then he used water elemental power to clean the towel before returning it to Luo Xue.

"Lord Shura, if you continue digging at your current pace, it will only take half a month to break through the entire tunnel."

After Luo Xue put away the wet towel Lan Tian handed her, she put away her spear and sat down beside Lan Tian. Together they watched the sunset by the edge of the tunnel, but Luo Xue's cheeks were a little flushed at this moment.

"Not bad, it's a bit faster than I expected. Once the foundation is laid, I won't participate in the construction of the city wall."

Blue Sky, who had just cleansed himself with the power of water element, chuckled.

"Um…"

Luo Xue, who was standing to the side, turned her head away awkwardly and replied.

......

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere fell silent. After a long silence, Lan Tian finally spoke first:

"Was that wet towel yours?"

"Huh? This..."

Lan Tian's sudden words caught Luo Xue off guard. Her small hands, adorned with gauntlets, waved frantically between the two of them, looking completely helpless. Her cheeks, hidden beneath the Nuo mask, were flushed red.

"You're not planning to give up yet, are you?"

Lan Tian turned to look at Luo Xue and chuckled softly.

"Um... um, could you tell me... where I lost?"

Luo Xue calmed herself down, hesitated for a moment, and then removed the Nuo mask. Looking at Lan Tian with a slightly flushed face, she said earnestly:

"The spirit of contract".

"Blue Sky said calmly."

"A contract... a spiritual one? Why do you say that?"

Luo Xue scratched her head, looking puzzled.

"Shortly after I met her, my divine heart sent me a message that led me to sign a contract with her."

Under Luo Xue's gaze, Lan Tian took out his Divine Heart and said with a serious expression.

In fact, Blue Sky lied. At that time, the Heart of God was completely unmoved, because he would not easily reveal his identity as a descendant to others.

"So, Lord Shura, what information did you receive at the time...?"

Luo Xue's expression suggested that she had guessed something.

"The information I received is... After becoming a god, in order to fight against the shackles binding herself and her people, she devised a plan, preparing alone in the same place for five hundred years without any contractual obligations, enduring five hundred years of loneliness. In the end, she succeeded, breaking the shackles binding herself and her people, and saving them, but... she herself lost all her power and became a first-order mortal..."

"At that time, I...couldn't imagine how much determination she made for this. Even knowing the price, she chose to endure five hundred years of loneliness and solitude to save her people, relying solely on her inner beliefs to persevere...until she uttered her last words..."

At this point, Lan Tian's expression was very complicated, and her eyes were full of heartache.

Lan Tian wasn't lying.

What...did she say at the end?

Luo Xue's tone was full of resentment.
