Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

After Zhongli nodded in agreement, Luo Chaya looked at Wan Yan again and said, "Miss Wan Yan, right? I don't care about your specific origins. Are you ready to accept the true history?"

"The real...history?" Wan Yanhou mentioned the railing. She leaned on the railing, staring at Luo Chaya and Zhongli with a frown.

"I have sent my subordinates to search for intelligence across the entire continent of Teyvat. Regarding this period of history, I am the only one who knows it best, except for the God of Rock who witnessed it." Luo Chaya said slowly to Wan Yan. She raised her hand, and a blue, water-like light appeared in her palm, flowing like real water.

Suddenly, Luo Chaya asked again, "Ms. Wanyan, have you ever flown?"

"Ah?" Wan Yan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, the water-blue light enveloped all of them, then turned into a column of light that shot up into the sky and flew towards the salt of the earth.

In the night sky, the blue light is like a pair of scissors cutting the night sky into two.

Soon, the light fell on the entrance to the Salt of the Earth in the north of Liyue Harbor.

Wan Yan stared at everything around her in shock. Before she could come to her senses, she suddenly woke up when she saw the seal at the entrance of the Salt of the Earth. She looked at Luo Chaya in disbelief, "You... who are you..."

"Oh, he's not a big shot." Luo Chaya waved her hand and continued, "I am the True Lord of Pure Water Judgment."

"You are an immortal!" Wan Yan's pupils shrank.

Luo Chaya hummed, "I am an immortal."

Wan Yan sneered at this and said, "No wonder, you are an immortal, so you naturally lean towards Morax!"

"When you have already made your own judgment in your heart, no matter what others say, you will think it is just a cover-up. You have already determined that Emperor Yanwang assassinated Heulia, no matter how much we say, it will be useless." Luo Chaya looked at Wan Yan and said slowly, "So, you should see the truth of history with your own eyes, then you will understand."

Luo Chaya walked to the seal, raised her hand and spread her five fingers.

Water-blue spots of light fell from the palm of his hand, and these spots of light were like fluttering fireflies, blending into this layer of seal.

After that, cracks slowly appeared in the seal, and then it shattered instantly under the gaze of several people.

"Let's go. I'll show you the real history." Luo Chaya took Lotia directly into the Salt of the Earth.

Wan Yan hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.

Zhongli sighed and said, "Miss Wanyan, if you want to know the true past, then go in. All your doubts will be answered there."

After saying this, he also walked in.

Wan Yan was silent for a while, but finally followed him in.

Inside the Salt of the Earth, Luo Chaya turned around and saw Wan Yan, and said with a smile: “I thought you didn’t dare to come in.”

"Hmph! What am I afraid of? I am here to expose Morax's hypocritical mask!" Wan Yan forced herself to be brave and said these words to Luo Chaya in a timid tone.

"Well, you look very impressive. Let's go." Luo Chaya looked her up and down, then nodded and walked forward.

As they went deeper, they could see so-called "statues" along the road. These were humans who were turned into salt statues by the remnants of the demon that erupted when Heulia died.

The further she went in, the heavier Wanyan's mood became.

Finally, everyone came to a hall, where Wan Yan saw a broken sword. She said excitedly: "See! This is a broken sword, this is the evidence! Proof that the "Demon of Salt" resisted, but was still killed by Morax!"

"It's a good story, but unfortunately, it's wrong." Luo Chaya looked at the broken sword and continued, "This is indeed a weapon related to Heulia, but it's not her weapon. It's the weapon that killed her."

"The weapon that killed... the "Salt Demon"..." Wan Yan took a step back and looked at Luo Chaya in disbelief.

Luo Chaya described to Wan Yan the story of how Heulia gave in during the Demon War, how she gradually lost all her lands, and how she could no longer protect her people.

Wan Yan simply couldn't accept what Luo Chaya said to her. She yelled, "No! Impossible, you are lying to me! You must be lying to me! You are an immortal, you are Morax's running dog!"

"How dare you!" Lotia took a step forward with an angry look on her face. Water swords gathered faintly, and the sword tips pointed directly at Wanyan.

Luo Chaya asked Lotia to be patient. She continued, "Don't worry. There are more things that will surprise you later. Let's go."

She brought Wanyan to the last room, which was full of people who had been turned into salt. These people were in their last state before death, extremely terrified, and everyone was fleeing, but the person in the center of the room was holding a sword and stabbing forward.

"This is the scene where Heulia died." Luo Chaya looked at the last pile of salt in the room and said to Wan Yan slowly, "Finally, Heulia's people realized that this kind but weak demon god could not protect them in the cruel war. Rather than letting her experience the torture after defeat, it is better to grant her a relatively easy relief. However, no matter how weak a demon god is, the power that erupts after death is unbearable for mortals. Those who did not have time to escape were all turned into what they are now after the demon god's remnants erupted."

"The rest fled south and came to Liyue Harbor to ask for the protection of the Rock King. Their descendants feared the remnants of the demon god Heulia and feared that she would curse them forever. So, they risked their lives to return here, broke the weapon that killed her, and enshrined it here."

Zhongli added to Luo Chaya’s words.

Luo Chaya also stopped and looked at Zhongli. Zhongli sighed and said, "They are actually wasting their time. How could this demon god who never resisted until the end be angry with his own people..."

"No... I don't accept it! Even so..."

Wanyan's spirit was on the verge of collapse. She could hardly believe that her beliefs for so many years were so ridiculous.

"It's a hoax... fake history, everything is fake! It's all fake!"

Wanyan screamed and ran out, and no one chased her.

Zhongli watched Wanyan run away, sighed, then looked at Luo Chaya and said, "Luo Chaya, the Heulia incident happened during the Demon God War. At that time, your pure water elf followers did not seem to set foot here. How do you know the secret?"
