"There's one more thing I'm curious about: how did you figure out my identity?"
"Logically speaking, even if the Thunder God Balzeb stood in front of me, he might not be able to recognize my identity."
Looking at the Yae no Miko in front of her, Qiu Nian asked with some curiosity.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko let out a breath.
"In the early stages of the Demon God War, you fought your way from the bottom of the deep sea to the land of Inazuma."
"After setting foot on Inazuma, you will continue to slaughter demons."
"Before his death, a demon god shattered his authority into more than ten fragments, leaving behind a message that flew into the hands of the other demon gods."
Yae no Miko looked at Akihime before her and slowly began to speak.
"The fragments have been tainted by your power. Once you approach the territory of those demon gods, the fragments will react."
"This will cause the demons of the Inazuma region to unite and fight against you."
The divine child looked at Qiu Nian before him and continued his narration.
"No wonder..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian rested her chin on one hand and frowned slightly.
He was wondering why, whenever he approached the territory of one demon god, demon gods from other territories would come to stop him.
The war between the demons that descended from the sky occurred three thousand years ago, while the early stages of the war he initiated took place three thousand five hundred years ago.
To be precise, the real war between the demons and gods did not break out at that time, so the demons and gods were relatively friendly to each other.
This explains why those demons gathered together to resist him.
"Truly, fate is cruel..."
"The demons who once gathered together to stop me fought each other for the position of the Seven Gods in the demon war that descended from the sky."
Qiu Nian put down her hand and murmured with some emotion.
"Perhaps this is because we have a common enemy."
"After all, with your power at that time, you were definitely not someone that a single demon god could contend with."
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko shook her head slightly.
It is definitely not something that a single demon god can contend with.
Is it really?
According to some ancient records, the eight Inazuma demons once joined forces to defeat it.
But the second time, four of the eight demon gods perished, and the remaining four fled to the Sumeru region.
Two of the demons were even killed on the spot in the sea during their escape.
Even in that sea area now, there are the remaining remains of those two demon gods.
A small portion of the enormous divine remains protruded from the sea surface, where they were eroded by the seawater and sea breeze.
However, those two enormous divine remains did not carry the resentment of the demon god Orobas.
I wonder how this ancient god managed to kill those two demon gods.
"Ha ha..."
"I am now severely injured, and I'm afraid even a demon god would be hard to contend with."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian chuckled softly at the divine child before him.
"Severely damaged..."
Yae no Miko was taken aback upon hearing this.
He withstood her full-force attack despite being severely injured, and he's still completely unharmed?
"However, if what you say is true, those fragments will react when I enter a certain area."
"But why did it take you so long to notice me standing next to you in Inazuma Castle?"
Qiu Nian looked at the Eightfold Divine Child in front of her and asked with some curiosity.
"The early stages of the Demon God War date back 3,500 years."
"It's quite remarkable that this fragment can still sense your presence after such a long period of time."
"As for the other fragments, they have long since disappeared over the course of time."
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko produced a shattered bone fragment in her hand, which emitted a faint red light.
"This fragment is truly entrusted to Lord Fox Palace."
"Finally, it was Lord Fox Palace who handed it over to me."
Yae no Miko looked at the bone fragment in her hand and explained to Aki Nyan.
"The previous Thor?"
Qiu Nian looked at the rather sinister bone fragment in Yae no Kami's hand and murmured thoughtfully.
Three thousand five hundred years ago, he had neither seen the previous Thor Baal nor the demon god Orobas in Inazuma.
Baal should not have existed or been born at that time.
Orobas was likely a later arrival in Inazuma from Liyue.
Why did you slaughter the demon god?
Yae no Miko looked at Akihime in front of her with great curiosity.
When asked this question, Qiu Nian didn't answer. Instead, she silently turned around, took a few steps forward, and looked at the distant mountain scenery.
It was as if my thoughts had returned to 3,500 years ago.
Is there any difference between the world today and the world depicted in the game's storyline...?
Nothing has changed; the Seven Gods are still the same Seven Gods.
Without him, those demons he personally destroyed might have fled to the Dark Sea.
Or perhaps it was destroyed by other demons.
Even the blinding demon god can appear in this era.
But his fate remained unchanged; he still perished.
I wonder what else came to mind.
Qiu Nian gripped one hand tightly, but in the end, she let go helplessly.
"Their deaths will not have been meaningless..."
After a long time, Qiu Nian, with his back to Yae no Miko, said the following words.
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko looked at Qiu Nian's retreating figure and felt an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
This ancient god's slaughter of demons doesn't seem to be for the sake of a divine position, so what was it for?
Although she didn't understand what Qiu Nian meant.
But at least at this moment, she felt that the person in front of her was not like the one in the legends.
Chapter 162 Orobas: ?
"When the early stages of the Demon God War were nearing their end, you and the Geo God Morax engaged in a great battle."
"Since you and the Geo Archon are friends, why did that great battle break out?"
Yae no Miko watched Qiu Nian's retreating figure, took a deep breath, and then waved her hand, asking a question.
She wouldn't trust the other party so easily; she hadn't forgotten how this ancient god had tricked her earlier.
Moreover, no one knows the outcome of the battle between this ancient god and Morax.
All that is known is that this ancient god later seemed to have disappeared into Teyvat.
When the demons of Teyvat first heard about this, they were somewhat surprised and uncertain.
But when they later confirmed that the mad god had really disappeared.
The demons of Teyvat all celebrated.
The reputation of Morax, the Rock Demon God, also made other demon gods wary, and they dared not easily provoke his territory.
Many demons even took the initiative to befriend Morax.
Two gods fought, and as a result, one god disappeared, while the other remained.
Even if no one knows the outcome of the battle, it's obvious who won.
This event is even recorded in the ancient books of every country.
Those decades were said to be the most harmonious period in the lives of the Teyvat demons.
Because that mad god destroyed most of the demons in Teyvat at that time.
The remaining small group of demons then frantically devoured the territories of the dead demons.
Three thousand years ago, a war between demons descended from the sky, shattering this harmonious situation.
The entire continent of Teyvat was engulfed in chaos.
After that, many new demon gods were born, but this only made up for half of the demon gods.
Half of the demon gods still perished under the sword of that mad god.
Unlike the mad god who only slaughters demons.
During the true war between demons and gods, not only demons and gods died, but also countless humans and other living beings.
If the mad god is cruel, it is only cruelty directed at demon gods.
The true cruelty of the war between the demons and gods was its cruelty towards all living beings in the entire world of Teyvat.
"Um..."
