Chapter 286: Return to the End and Passing Away (Brief Summary)

"Hey, keep your voice down! Morax, with a heart as hard as stone, has no idea what I'm thinking."

As Gui Zhong spoke, he sighed helplessly.

"According to the Emperor, he did indeed start as a stone and develop into what he is today."

"Huh? No wonder he never showed any emotion all day long, turns out he really is a rock!"

"Hehehe, whether it's a demon god or an immortal, aren't they all developed from a certain elemental entity? That's normal."

"Hmph, that's true. Although Morax is highly skilled in combat, he still relies on my advice and strategies! I'll make that guy know my intentions sooner or later."

After saying that, Gui Zhong, still unconvinced, lowered his head and continued playing the piano.

This memory was later told to Zhongli by Grandma Ping.

The scene then changes.

The period when the war between demons broke out.

After the announcement of the battle between the gods on Sky Isle, the demons all over the continent of Teyvat began to stir.

Some gods act for their own survival, some for the thrill of killing, some for the safety of their people, and some for their own selfish desires.

In an instant, many demons appeared within the territory of Gu Liyue, fighting and killing each other everywhere.

In order to survive, all the gods had to devote all their energy to the war.

Therefore, Guiliyuan, this peaceful and prosperous place, naturally attracted the attention of other demons.

Other demons had heard of Morax's power to varying degrees, and because he had many powerful friends, no one had made a move against this place for the time being.

But as time went on, since the first demon to claim the territory would be granted the Heart of God, the vortex demon Oser emerged from the water and began to challenge Morax.

Seeing this battle, the surrounding demons also rushed over, trying to eliminate Morax, who seemed to be the strongest at the moment, and reduce the threat to their own survival.

Thus, a massive battle erupted in the south of Ancient Liyue. While Morax fought valiantly against a powerful enemy, the immortals also provided invaluable support.

Just then...

"Since there is no military force guarding this place, this is a golden opportunity."

"A demon god who occupies the area of ​​Shenyu Valley said."

He then diverted all the water within the territory of Chenyu Valley to the low-lying Guili Plain, attempting to destroy the area.

But how could Gui Zhong, who guards the rear of Morax, possibly comply with the wishes of this demon god?

Left with no other choice, Gui, a demon god who was not good at fighting, still resolutely used Chen's divine power in an attempt to resist this terrifying flood beast.

This battle was one that Gui endured for a long and agonizing period. Meanwhile, his other friends were also locked in a fierce struggle, unable to extricate themselves.

By the time Zhongli and the other True Lords returned to Liyuan, the place was already in ruins.

"What about Gui Zhong? What happened here?"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun watched all this in utter shock, closing his eyes in disbelief.

Just then, a wisp of sand drifted by, gradually gathering into the phantom image of the final resting place.

Zhongli stared at the illusory figure before him, remaining silent, but his fists were clenched tightly.

Then, the phantom began to speak.

"Those tiny people are as insignificant and fragile as dust."

"Because we are so insignificant, we never know when we might perish in a natural disaster or man-made calamity. That's why we're always afraid."

"Because of fear, I always strive to become smarter. I understand that."

"So I think, since the gap in strength between us is too great, let's use technology and wisdom. If we had both your strength and my intellect... this city would be truly remarkable."

"It seems I still can't walk this path with you. Let's forget about that lock."
