บท 8: Chapter 008: Mt. Aocang
Over the next month, Vorthis frequently ventured out to seek fierce beasts to battle, in addition to utilizing various elemental powers for manifestation.
He also tried something new: he tossed a small nuclear bomb equivalent to five million tons into a cave where a Geovishap was digging, directly collapsing the cave.
He wasn't sure about the situation inside—whether the Geovishap had died or not.
But none of that mattered.
Vorthis had learned a new technique.
"Rain of Swords!"
Behind Vorthis, tens of thousands of sharp longswords materialized. Under his control, these swords became like a cold harvesting machine.
The creatures within a ten-mile radius of Liyue's territory were almost all eradicated by Vorthis.
Soon after, Morax had a talk with him.
Morax questioned him about clearing all the creatures around, asking how Liyue's people would go about their hunting lives from now on.
Uh...
Not a problem. Vorthis manifested a salt mountain and taught the people how to use salt to make dried meat.
This way, the meat of those creatures could be preserved.
Cough, ancient creatures were very active.
It wouldn't take long before new creatures found the vacant land and filled it.
"Morax, where are you going?"
After over a month of interaction, Vorthis and Morax had grown closer.
At that moment, Vorthis was sitting in a pavilion, holding a goblet with '82 red wine swishing inside.
Just in time, he saw Morax preparing to leave, so he asked.
"Visiting the immortals of Mt. Aocang? What's going on?"
Morax answered.
The immortals of Mt. Aocang?
At this time, Morax had not yet made an official contract with the immortals, but there were some exchanges between them, more like friendly interactions.
"I want to go too, I want to go too," Vorthis said.
Morax replied, "No, if both of us leave, who will guard the territory?"
"What if other Gods or fierce beasts invade? How will the people defend themselves?"
"Didn't you also leave last time when you found me without leaving anyone behind?" Vorthis said, feeling unsatisfied.
Could he have created a clone back then?
Morax fell silent.
This guy...
"Alright then, I can go, right?" Vorthis asked.
Over the entire Liyue territory, Vorthis used his manifestation authority to maintain a pale white protective shield.
The shield could withstand attacks at the God level, though it primarily consumed Vorthis's energy.
At the same time, if the shield was attacked, Vorthis could determine whether he needed to return and provide assistance based on the attack's intensity.
Morax glanced at Vorthis.
A shield this large would typically require the use of a formation to set up.
Is this the difference in authority?
Morax helplessly looked at Vorthis and said, "Alright, let's go."
"Yay!"
Morax first flew to the sky above Liyue territory, and when the people saw their Gods appear, they immediately stopped their work and gathered around.
"I and Zennos will be visiting immortals for a while."
"During this period, Liyue is protected by Zennos's barrier, which will shield Liyue from outside threats."
Morax explained briefly.
"Understood! Pease feel free to visit the immortals! We won't worry about us!"
"Thank you for Lord Zennos's protection!"
Many common people shed tears in response.
Whether it was the God of Geo or the God of Manifestation, both took good care of them.
It was heard that under other Gods' rule, some common people still had to perform living sacrifices to earn the Gods' attention.
They would always remember the kindness of the God of Geo and God of Manifestation and pass it down to future generations.
With a whoosh, two golden and white beams of light shot out from the Liyue territory, heading toward the direction of Mt. Aocang.
Before long, Vorthis and Morax arrived at Mt. Aocang.
It really looked familiar.
Even after thousands of years, he could still recognize the appearance of Mt. Aocang. This should be the abode of that talkative Cloud Retainer, right?
"Who has come to my immortal's cave? Oh, it's the God of Geo!"
"What? After so long, you've come to visit me?"
"Coincidentally, I've recently improved my mechanisms. Would Morax like to come and assess?"
Before seeing anyone, the voice came from the cave.
Then, Vorthis saw the transformed Cloud Retainer walk out of the cave.
One couldn't deny that aside from not being too chatty, Cloud Retainer had an excellent physique and appearance.
But then again, if you hadn't experienced the struggles of human life, who would choose to transform into an ugly form?
"Oh? Morax, who is this person beside you? Can you introduce me to them?"
Cloud Retainer looked at Vorthis beside Morax.
"Of course."
"He is my friend, the God of Manifestation, Zennos."
Morax introduced Vorthis.
The God of Manifestation? Zennos?
If he could be friends with Morax, he must be strong.
"Hello, just call me Vorthis. That's the name I use when walking to the mortal's land~"
Vorthis smiled at Cloud Retainer.
"Vorthis? Although I don't understand why someone like you, a God, would take a mundane name for yourself."
"I am the owner of this cave, just call me Xianyun."
Cloud Retainer smiled at Vorthis.
Why did he, as a God, take a mundane name?
Could it be that "Vorthis" is actually my real name?
"By the way, recently, I've been working on some mechanisms. Would you like to come and see? Perhaps Morax could give it a look?"
"Of course," Morax replied.
The reason they knew each other was that one day, Morax entered Xianyun's territory.
Seeing that the being before him was a God, Xianyun naturally didn't dare act recklessly.
Luckily, Morax was friendly.
As they talked, they ended up discussing mechanisms and gradually became closer through their exchange of ideas.
"Mechanisms? May I have a look?" Vorthis asked.
"Hm? The God of Manifestation is also skilled in mechanisms? That's great! We three should have a good exchange," Xianyun said with a smile.
Morax slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
By now, he more or less knew Vorthis's background. Of course, he knew whether or not Vorthis knew anything about mechanisms.
Uh...
Vorthis scratched his head. "I don't know anything about mechanisms, uh, at all."
"Is that so?"
"However, mechanisms aren't very difficult. Many people find them hard simply because they lack the determination to delve into them."
"If you want to try mechanisms, on behalf of the God of Geo, I can teach you."
Xianyun smiled at Vorthis.
Morax interrupted: "Zennos probably doesn't need mechanisms. The power he controls is far easier than mechanisms."
"What? Does Morax mean that Zennos can do what mechanisms do without actually needing to know about mechanisms?" Xianyun asked, looking at Vorthis with surprise.
Heh~
For Vorthis, achieving his goals through manifestation authority was just as effective.
So mechanisms were quite optional for him.
"My authority is called Manifestation, meaning to materialize things from imagination."
"So, do you understand now?"
"Heh~"
Vorthis smiled at Xianyun.
Xianyun fell into deep thought...
As expected of a God, such a power is ridiculously overpowered!
But that didn't discourage Xianyun.
For her, she immersed herself in mechanisms because of the joy that came from studying them.
If she got the result immediately and skipped the process...
Wouldn't that take away all the joy?
