Looking at the words on the stone tablet, my mind wandered towards the ancient times. In that era when the gods were at war and war was raging, even just a moment of peace was a luxury. Heulia, whose divine power was not as powerful as other demon gods, was anxious for People are looking for a pure land

"The inscription shows Heulia's love for her people to a certain extent, and the buildings in the distance prove that no divine war broke out here, otherwise everything would be destroyed and no palaces built of ordinary stone would be left."

Listening to Hua Yi's speculation, Gan Yu couldn't help but think of what the believers of the Salt Demon God who came to Liyue said back then.

"In the final kingdom of the Salt God, is there really a rebellion started by some humans themselves? No matter how weak the demon god is, he is still a demon god, and cannot be resisted by humans. Is it Heulia who has forced her people to the point where they have no choice but to fight to the death, or is it her followers who continue to avoid fighting because of the gods they believe in? What if you misjudge the power of the devil and rebel for selfish desires such as power?"

The magnificent architectural complex in this space demonstrates to a certain extent the prosperous life of the people of the Salt God. Various signs indicate that the answer to the rebellion is the latter.

"Heulia is willing to put down the dignity of the devil for the sake of her people, and give in without a bottom line to avoid fighting. If her people don't agree with this concept, they can leave on their own, right? Heulia's weak character shouldn't stop her. There is no difference in the outcome between killing the gods who protect you and voluntarily breaking away from the gods' protection."

Hua Yi is a human being, and most of the time he naturally stands in the human position.

However, when the story about the Salt Demon God thousands of years ago was revealed bit by bit, instead of understanding the rebellious officials and traitors, Hua Yi felt Heulia is even more innocent.

Many of the details in front of her silently declare that the Salt Demon God Heulia is a completely different existence from Mondstadt's tower lone king, the Gale Demon God Diakrapian.

Heulia Ya really doesn't look like a tyrant.

Her love for humans is much gentler than that of Dickapian

"Maybe the rebels really thought she was weak, so weak that a mortal could kill her. Are those fools blinded by greed, or lunatics who have some wrong ideas of their own? Those stone tablets may be able to give us the answer."

On the road leading to the huge palace in the distance, there is a stone tablet at regular intervals. The style is the same as the one in front of Hua Yi.

Heulia gave in to humans, avoided war for humans, and gave up the dignity of the devil for humans. , as if she wanted to use the stone tablet to tell her story to visitors who came over thousands of years.

[My power is not suitable for fighting. I am too weak. Neither my strength nor my mind is qualified to win the war. I am the loser who will never ascend to the position of the Seven Gods. ]

Another stone tablet, still beautiful and timeless words, full of depression and depression

[I have seen the defeated demon god, with endless reluctance and hatred, and the obsession that disappeared directly eroded the earth and affected countless people under his command. The winner can still protect one side, but the loser will lose everything. I...can't win, can't fail, I can only escape. ]

Since it is destined to be impossible to win, as long as you give up before the fight occurs, the war will never affect you and your people.

Heulia wrote all her thoughts on the stone tablets.

[If the war comes to an end, or is even over, I can directly entrust my people to the final winner. In this case, no one will be hurt. Until then, I cannot ally with any demon god. All demon gods want to win and they will drag me into the quagmire of war. ]

Walking along the road lined with stone monuments, Hua Yi did not look at the abandoned stone structures on both sides because there was nothing in the buildings.

There may have been various furnishings inside, including beautiful wooden cabinets and warm leather. However, under the power of time, those things that are far less solid than stone have long since turned into fly ash.

[Another concession, I lost all the land, leaving only the last shelter, the salt of the earth that I found with great difficulty. Fortunately, my people have not been harmed by the war. They have even become curious about the outside world. Please be more patient. The war should be over soon, but - I seem to have no room for further concessions. ]

Hua Yi can understand Heulia's helplessness.

Even if the gods confided their troubles to their people, mortals could not help.

However, the text on the next stone tablet shows that Hua Yi thought too well of the human nature of some of the humans protected by Heulia.

[Some of my people launched a rebellion. They said that I was too weak and could not protect anyone in the war. They said that the demon war was very cruel. Rather than letting me become a loser, it was better to free me early.

But they have clearly never witnessed any divine war with their own eyes. All their understanding of the war comes from my narration. I told them about my weakness, the horror of war, and the cruelty of defeat, but I forgot to tell them about the weakness of human beings. ]

This is the last stone on the road.

Further ahead is the only palace in the entire complex, Heulia's temple.

The temple is not made of stone but of salt.

Heulia used her own power to build herself a residence.

The Palace of Salt is not suitable for mortals to live in. The devil's power is coercive, and Heulia cannot perfectly restrain it to the point where her people can live in it for a long time.

The existence of the Salt Palace was not to demonstrate authority, but to save the people from the labor of building large-scale construction projects.

Compared with other buildings with incomplete and exquisite decorations, Heulia's palace is extremely simple in addition to being huge.

Although there are roads leading to various parts of the building complex around the temple, as far as the eye can see, there are no more stone tablets on the road. Only in the empty center of the temple is a pure white salt flower and the last stone tablet.

Even though it was confirmed through Gan Yu's words that Heulia should not have died in the rebellion, Hua Yi couldn't help but move a little faster.

He really didn't like tragedy.

And it is a complete tragedy for a kind god to be harmed by the people he protects.

[I have disappointed my people, and it is true that I cannot continue to protect them. The salt of the earth is the last refuge, and there is no retreat. In this case, it is better to destroy myself directly and let the people find the protection of a more powerful demon god.

Before the idea could be implemented, an unknown god suddenly appeared. He stood in an unknown place and was besieged by countless terrifying forces.

He was unimaginably powerful. With just one blow, he wiped out everything. An insignificant ray of power escaped and fell into my temple.

The people who raised their swords towards me were annihilated and died under that ray of power.

I'm alive.

Latecomers, if you are willing to help me find unknown gods, please take the flower next to the stone tablet. It contains my divine power and the remaining breath of that power. Please take it with you everywhere, as In return, it will protect you in times of crisis. ]
