The continent of Teyvat is a world full of mystery. The continent is composed of seven main elemental forces.
This place was originally filled with human civilization, but it was destroyed due to a war. In the end, everything about the existence of ancient humans was buried underground, and the system completely collapsed.
Many years have passed, and I don’t know when a leader named the Demon God began to appear in this vast land.
Their appearance completely changed the situation in Teyvat and ushered in an important moment in history - the Demon God Period.
Demon Calendar (Peaceful Period)
In this world where demons are everywhere, they are like the kings of a tribe. Although they attack each other due to their interests, they still have a bottom line and do not completely break up with each other.
The result of a lose-lose situation can only be to give others an advantage, so we will not go too far and focus on negotiation and reconciliation.
Their appearance allowed scattered human beings to gather together. Although the kings they loved were different, the cultural differences were not big.
The Demon God also has an important role, which is to bring production technology to his people. In other words, it allows mankind to quickly enter a period of development.
In the early stage, everyone lived in peace, expanding their territory and developing it, bringing blessings to the people and enjoying worship at the same time.
It stands to reason that the demon gods at this stage should be trying their best to accumulate strength and develop manpower so as to deter other tribes or city-states. Whether it is self-protection or invasion strength, they are top priority.
But there happened to be such a demon who took a completely different path from the general public.
Not only did he not seek land to settle down, and then exercise his own rule over the people and bring them culture, he also wandered around without any respect for other people's territory.
Although this is very rude, the owner of the territory has nothing to say.
After all, he is also a powerful demon god, and he may not be able to defeat him even if he mobilizes his troops, so he just turns a blind eye and pretends he has not seen it.
After all, it's just a walk, not a grab. If you do it too much, it will make the owner too stingy.
The Demon God obeys the orders of heaven, and this action is tantamount to violating his will. No one knows the reason why he did this.
"Well... the beautiful scenery here is a good place to rest. That guy looks old-fashioned, but he still has a good taste when it comes to talking."
A man with long hair and shawl stood in the wind, wearing a black robe and holding a folding fan, standing under a Quesan tree with withered leaves.
Her long black hair was flying in the wind, and she walked slowly to the edge of the rock wall, and what came into view was a picturesque area.
Looking around, the blue sky reflects the pool water, and patches of lotus roots are planted in the pool water.
Blooming lotus flowers float on the calm water, the wind blows gently, and the pool surface becomes even more beautiful when the sunlight embellishes it.
When you get close to the pond, you can see live fish swimming inside, so you can get more food and avoid starving.
Walking on the ridge of the lotus root pond, I was impressed by the wisdom of the owner who controlled this place. I bent down and dug out a lotus root in the field, and washed away some soil stains in the water.
"This lotus root looks pretty good. I'm just thirsty. Anyway, that guy is not a stingy person."
Just after wiping on the black robe and before he could eat, he raised his head and looked at each other with two humans carrying hoes. Both of them were stunned for a few seconds.
No, are you so unlucky today?
"Um...I haven't eaten this yet, why don't I give it back to you?"
As soon as Xuan Jie finished speaking, he saw the two men wearing bamboo hats dropping their hoes and running away.
"Huh? I remembered to hide my aura. Logically speaking, ordinary humans shouldn't be able to discover my identity..."
Surprised, Xuanjie put the lotus root to his mouth and took a bite.
The fibrous threads are brought out together, and the lotus root tastes crisp and delicious, with a hint of sweetness.
"Well...it's really a good thing to cool down and relieve the heat."
But before I could take my second bite, I saw dozens of people carrying hoes and pickaxes on their backs and rushing towards this direction in a menacing manner.
It turns out that the two people just now went back to call for help because they were afraid that they would not be able to defeat them and were also timid.
"No way... I just ate a lotus root!"
The local residents will not listen to your excuses. Seeing that the other party cannot get food and salt, they have no choice but to leave first. If you really hurt them, it will be a big problem.
"Hey! I said, can you listen to me? How about your hospitality!"
On the narrow field ridge, more than ten people lined up in a long queue and chased Xuanjie, like a long snake chasing away a mouse.
The midday sun shines on the lotus pond, reflecting Xuan Jie's breathing heavily and raising his sleeves to wipe sweat.
"These guys are too stubborn, shouldn't I just pick a lotus root? When you chase them, they will probably crush more when they fall in the field."
Just as Xuan Jie, who was sweating profusely, was balling his knees and quietly looking at the retreating figures, a loud female voice suddenly came from the top of the rock wall behind him.
"The majestic God of Elements is actually being chased by a group of farmers carrying hoes on their backs. It looks really funny... Haha."
Even without looking up, Xuan Jie can accurately guess the identity of the other party just by his voice.
"Hey...you've been watching the show here all the time, and you're holding an apple and eating it while watching. Isn't it a bit too much!"
After hearing Xuan Jie's complaint, the girl on the mountain wall jumped down and landed gently in front of him.
There was no sound when he landed, and his body was as light as a crane.
"Who asked you to steal things? If you want to eat, go sign a contract with the emperor and help with some work in exchange for food. After all, these are the fruits of everyone's hard work."
To survive on a land full of demons, if you want to be safe and not be disturbed, besides being strong yourself, the best way is to form an alliance or recruit other strong people to join.
"Hey, just eat a lotus root and ask me to sign the contract. Ping'er, aren't you too cruel?"
Xuan Jie turned around and looked towards the source of the sound. What caught his eye was a graceful girl wearing a blue robe.
The girl's beautiful blue hair is coiled on her head and fixed with a white jade hairpin. The blue mark between her eyebrows enhances her temperament.
She is one of the guardians of this land and signed a contract with the Rock King to protect this land.
Since Xuanjie often came here to pick lotus roots, the two got acquainted with each other after arguing, and Aping pestered him to join the emperor's banner.
"I told you not to call me Ping'er! Just like Dijun and the others, call me A Ping!"
A Ping's cheeks were slightly red, she clasped her hands and shouted loudly to Xuan Jie, but this scene has long been seen.
Xuan Jie nodded as usual, then put a hand on her shoulder, took out the bitten lotus root and continued to eat.
"I asked Ping'er, do you have a person who cooks particularly well? I heard that he made that steamed bun..."
"Yes, I understand."
A Ping's sudden voice interrupted Xuan Jie's narration and made him freeze in place.
"What do you understand... Do you know that I promised to bring it to me if I wanted to eat?"
Haha, I brought it to you...what a beautiful thought!
