Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

"Ahmar gained the power of the abyss with the help of Nabu Marikata, and the body of the goddess of flowers was corroded by the abyss." Apep calmly told the truth, "All the energy in her body was devoured by me. I could not bear the torture of the abyss, and my power leaked out, forming the Death Zone."

"But in everyone's perception, the dead zone is just an ordinary forest pollution. Although it looks hideous, it is not very harmful inside." Nashida continued, "The key to the problem is the 'abyss'."

"Can I make a bold guess, Apep? What's eroding your body isn't the real abyss. Or rather, the energy contained in the corpse of the flower god hides an unknown secret."

"The dead zone is harmless to the human body, which is exactly contrary to my subconscious sense of crisis. You know that I control some of the powers related to the World Tree. Someone replaced the originally harmful abyss medium with the harmless dead zone without violating any laws."

"And that person is... Senior Xiao Shen?"

Because of his huge body, every movement caused the grass leaves to sway. Apep nodded slowly: "He is on guard against the existence that lives in the sky. He wants to defeat Him."

As he spoke, the tall dragon lowered his head slightly and made a sound similar to a sigh, "That's why I said, his existence is so great. Alas... the arrogant and dazzling child back then has now grown up."

Nashida tilted her head subtly: "You knew Senior a long time ago?"

"Of course." Apep's tone suddenly became strangely proud, and he transformed into a human form. "The childhood of a god is very long. When he was little, I held him in my arms."

The woman in front of him looked relatively young, with an unexpectedly slim figure. Although her tone was calm, her every word and action was filled with the savagery and confidence of a dragon.

When his deep vertical pupils looked over, they were very different from those of humans. "Although after growing up, I have become increasingly unable to follow in the things he planned and the path he blazed..."

"But no matter what, I have held his dragon." With his arms crossed, Apep continued to talk to himself, "I have also fed him a lot of desserts. When he was a child, he liked to eat hot food. I remember... his favorite was the Firefungus flavor."

——What’s that smell!?

She could feel that the humans behind her must have had some kind of unanimous impulse in their hearts, but no matter how curious Nashida was about how to taste this flavor, it was time to ask that question.

"To be able to make the Grass Dragon King sigh like this, Senior Xiao Shen... no, I should call him "He", he is indeed from there, right?"

"..." Quietly stopping his sighing reminiscence, Apep raised his lips and looked down at the god, "Buyer, do you now think that the lofty "heavenly law" is completely unshakable?"

Their eyes met each other, intertwined in mid-air, thinking and confronting each other, and Nashida smiled silently in the loneliness.

"He gave the authority of the sky to the Scarlet King, and the power of the abyss to the Flower God. The Dragon Lizard Realm, the Void Realm, and one of the last three realms, the Human Realm controlled by me, the power of the World Tree, were connected together unconsciously."

When she raised her head, she cast her eyes towards the flower-shaped Death Tumor that had been standing silently beside the Grass Dragon from beginning to end, and was about to bloom. "The god we are talking about is the one that we should never make an enemy of, isn't it?"

Perhaps it was because it sensed the uneasiness of all living beings in the heavy and depressing atmosphere that the dark flowers entangled in the deepest part began to relax little by little, and its silver hair was clear and soft, sliding down from the tiny branches.

The pupils were covered by the curled eyelashes, and the golden pupils were as clear as autumn water, with ripples of light broken in them. The boy hidden in the Death Zone Tumor looked very quiet, and when he looked at everyone, he blinked harmlessly.

He turned his head and looked at Apep again. The two of them were probably very familiar with each other. The young man stretched out his finger from under the wide cloth and pointed at everyone. He even narrowed his eyes and showed an extremely well-behaved smile: "Food?"

He looked very interested and eager to try, as if the humans and the god in front of him were just delicious food.

Apep immediately pressed down his hand that was pointing at others, and his condescending tone was permeated with a bit of practiced severity: "They are not delicious. Wait a minute, Aunt Cao will make you a new dessert."

"Really?" The thoughtful look in his eyes changed invisibly, but the boy still responded with a smile.

"Looks...exactly the same?"

"But he's not Qianluo."

"The situation has become complicated. Does Xiao Shen have any brothers or sisters?"

"Shut up, it's too noisy." The young man sat there like a normal person, looking down at the people who had stopped talking in surprise, licked his lips, and the dark color deep in his eyes spread out with the excitement of facing interesting prey.

"She said it's not tasty, but I don't believe it. One demon god, four humans... give me one to try, and I'll generously let the rest go... hmm."

The boy was still hit on the head by Apep. He looked aggrieved for a moment. If others saw him, they would definitely misunderstand that he was the innocent boy who was bullied.

But he was different from Shen Qianluo. The grievance and harmlessness only flashed for a moment. The next second, he suddenly approached Apepu's dragon pupil, and the corners of his mouth cracked into a malicious smile because of discovering a secret: "I remember it, and I heard it. He is coming."

The cloth swayed in the wind for a moment as the movement spread, allowing everyone to see the countless winding and hideous black marks all over the boy's slender arms.

——It’s the abyss.

The young man, who looked perfect and elegant, exactly like Shen Qianluo, was actually invaded deeply by the abyss, to the point that even the gods were terrified.

Judging from the tragic symptoms, even his lungs, internal organs, and deep bone marrow are probably filled with sticky and noisy abyssal substances. So his current dark and abnormal behavior is probably because even his thoughts have been destroyed and collapsed...

Nashida couldn't bear to speculate any further. The boy exuded a gloomy and murderous aura, his divine power was raging, but the trembling of his soul was weak.

However, in their habits of words and actions, one can clearly see the subtle features of the elegant gods of the past.

"Excuse me..." Unfortunately, before he could ask more questions, the startled boy lowered his eyes and smiled happily. When he turned around, the space was torn apart. "I want to fight him."

The departure of the young man made the air around him warm up a lot. Nashida finally sighed softly and said in a low voice: "He must be the soul fragment that Senior Xiaoshen abandoned here."

"Everything has a price. Senior, who holds the power of the Rock Demon God Contract, obviously understands this principle better."

"He cut off a part of his soul and took on the pollution from the abyss for the world."
