Chapter 113: Aging (2)
Time may really be able to smooth out everything, but there are some things that even time cannot smooth out.
For example, hatred.
Let’s go back to the day when the Emperor just returned to Tianheng Mountain and summoned all the immortals to a meeting and Mingli died.
In a valley deep in the endless mountains of Qingce Village, there were two huge figures.
The one with white scales, a dragon head and a fish body is really the demon Chi. The other one is blue all over and has five heads. He is the demon of the vortex, Osel.
"Dream Demon, you are late."
The two demons looked in one direction and saw the Dream Demon in human form flying towards them.
Listening to Chi's words, the Dream Demon God smiled faintly and said, "You should be glad that I am here. After all, the Demon God War has already begun. How do I know that you want to unite and kill me?"
All the heads in Osel spoke in unison: "We do intend to unite, but not to kill you."
"We need to kill Morax." The demon god Chi looked in the direction of Guili. "The three demon gods of Guili are a huge threat to us. Besides, we cannot treat the human king of Guili as an ordinary human."
Upon hearing this, a solemn look emerged on the face of the Dream Demon. Being able to board the Sky Island means that one possesses the combat power of a demon god. It is simply unbelievable for a human to possess the combat power of a demon god. By this calculation, Guili has the combat power of four demon gods.
The demon Chi continued: "If the four Guili attack, then we three will be the first to bear the brunt. Do you think we can resist?"
Can it be resisted? The Dream Demon God had only one answer in his mind: impossible.
"So, we must unite and attack Guili together." The Demon God of the Vortex spoke.
"Just the three of us?" The Dream Demon frowned.
"Of course not only that, I also won over the great snake Orobas and the sea demon Essox." The Whirlpool Demon spoke.
Chi: "I have won over the Light Demon God Thornir and the Disease Demon God Verdas. Including you, there are seven demon gods in total."
The Dream Demon God continued to ask: "After killing the three demon gods and the human who returned, what should this alliance do?"
"Of course we should continue to slaughter other demons until we are the only ones left on Teyvat." Chi said, "How do you think?"
The Dream Demon thought for a moment, then nodded gently: "Okay, I'll join."
"Very good." Chi turned to look at Osel, "We need to find some time to meet our seven allies, but before that, we need to deal with a demon."
"Who?" The Dream Demon became alert.
"Heuliah, the salt in the earth she occupies is adjacent to Guili Shimen Market. If we occupy that place, then the attack on Guili will be unimpeded." Chi explained.
"Heulia, that extremely weak demon, came to me not long ago and said she hoped I would not start a dispute, and live in peace like before." The Dream Demon sneered, "It would be better to kill her, but I know that the Salt God's territory is now managed by the Guili Human King. Aren't you afraid of their reaction if you invade so brazenly?"
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Osel said, "Anyway, you just wait for the day when I move into Yancheng."
At night, after the Emperor finished his meeting, he was in the Yancheng prison.
Lying on the bed, Minghan, who had become the new leader of the old aristocracy, was still immersed in the sorrow of his father's death. His father had passed away in the morning until now, and he had refused to close his eyes, feeling unwilling in his heart.
Minghan knew the source of this resentment.
They used to be high-ranking nobles in Yancheng, with gorgeous clothes and abundant food. However, with the arrival of the Qianyan Army, they were demoted from nobles to prisoners, imprisoned in dim prisons, and whipped to work every day.
The source of all this was the Salt God, the weak Salt God. If He had stepped forward and killed all those Thousand Rock Army soldiers, none of this would have happened!
Just as Minghan fell asleep with hatred, he suddenly felt the room get cold. He opened his eyes and saw a man with sea-blue hair and blue pupils standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Minghan hurriedly stood up, but as soon as he stood up, he felt a pressure on his shoulder and fell directly to his knees.
"I am the Demon of the Vortex, Osel." As the man spoke, cold sweat seeped out of Minghan's body, soaking his clothes.
"Oh, Lord Osel?" Minghan spoke with trembling teeth.
"Let me ask you, do you hate Heuliah?"
Osel's words shocked Minghan. A light flashed in his eyes, and then he kowtowed: "Lord Osel, I hate Heulia. It's because of her that we are in this situation. I hope He will die!"
"Oh, in that case, I'll give you a chance." Osel opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, which fell in front of Minghan: "Take it, it is made from my fangs, it can block the killing intent and kill the demon. I gave you a chance, don't let me down, human."
After saying this, Osel disappeared.
Minghan raised his head and looked at the dagger in front of him that was glowing with a faint blue light. He reached out and held it tightly in his hand, with a gleam in his eyes.

Guili, the palace of the human king.
Ever since Zhu Yuncheng grew his first white hair on his 100th birthday, he has had more and more white hair. Over a period of 30 years, his shiny black hair was replaced by dry gray hair, but Zhu Yuncheng still looks like a young man in his twenties.
"This, this is called white hair but a youthful face." Zhu Yuncheng looked at himself in the mirror and laughed at himself in a self-deprecating way.
"Brother, Master said that he has found some herbs that can prolong life." Gan Yu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her brother's ridicule. "I will boil those herbs into a decoction for you to drink right away."
"No need for that. You and Master have been running around for me all these years, and you must be very tired." Zhu Yuncheng smiled faintly.
In the first few years, as he looked at the increasing number of white hairs on his head, he felt infinite panic in his heart. Yes, Zhu Yuncheng was afraid. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would not change the predetermined ending in time and space before he died.
He began to look for the secret recipe for longevity and started calling out to Istaru, but the latter never responded to him, as if she had disappeared.
Later, as time passed, Zhu Yuncheng gradually became indifferent to these things and his emotions gradually calmed down.
Gan Yu shook her head: "No, Senior Brother."
Zhu Yuncheng reached out and rubbed her head: "There's really no need to do this. Senior brother, I've already taken these things lightly. Death is nothing big."
"No, Ganyu, don't let Brother die." Tears flashed in Ganyu's eyes, and then she threw herself into Zhu Yuncheng's arms, "Brother, don't die!"
Zhu Yuncheng felt a pang in his heart and reached out his hand to gently touch Gan Yu's body.
"Ok?"
Suddenly he looked up and saw a woman who had just appeared.
White hair, blue eyes, and a pure white robe.
Heuliah, the god of salt.
