“Sir, what’s going on?”
“Why am I not a god anymore?”
“But I have all the abilities I had in my previous life, right?”
Her bewildered expression, with a touch of naivety, made Gu Chang Ge chuckle. He asked, “Do you know what the scroll that flew into your soul was?”
The beautiful woman shook her head, hesitatingly saying, “Was it a master-servant contract?”
“No!”
“That was not a contract, but a decree of ennoblement.”
“Decree?”
The beauty was bewildered.
What is a decree?
An order?
Gu Chang Ge didn't try to hide anything and explained, “I am the Lord of the Underworld, and you are the Ghost Immortal I have appointed.”
“So,”
“You are resurrected, but you no longer belong to Teyvat. You are no longer a god, but a Ghost Immortal under me. Do you understand?”
Herulia: “......”
What is a Ghost Immortal?
But one thing she understood.
From now on,
She was no longer a god, but belonged to Gu Chang Ge.
Her light blue eyes rolled, and she softly said, “So, doesn't that mean I should call you Master from now on?”
“This servant greets her Master.”
Gu Chang Ge shuddered, how perverted!
“Ahem, Master is out of the question. I don't like that title.”
“From now on, call me Young Master or Master.”
The beauty giggled, bowed slightly to Gu Chang Ge, and said, “Lia greets Young Master Chang Ge!”
Gu Chang Ge was stunned.
She had a playful side after all!
And Herulia's voice was extremely gentle. Hearing her call him like that was quite comfortable.
“Alright, Lia, let's leave the Underworld first.”
“Mhm!”
“I also want to go out and see what Teyvat is like now.”
Speaking of which,
An expectant look appeared on the beautiful woman's delicate face.
Back then, due to the decree from above, countless gods clashed in a great battle. Her strength was weak, and she could only constantly flee with her people.
In the end, she died in the hands of her own people, never seeing the end of the war.
Now,
The war between gods and demons has long ended. Her descendants must be living happily ever after, right?
Gu Chang Ge chuckled lightly and, with a thought, left the Underworld with Herulia, returning to the secret realm where she had perished.
Seeing this ruined secret realm with her own eyes, as well as the statues of her former people, Herulia felt a pang of heartache.
She had only thought of death, forgetting that she was a god after all. When a god dies, it is not something humans can bear.
Noticing the beautiful woman's expression, Gu Chang Ge felt a bit helpless. In his opinion, those people were practically courting death.
No matter what,
Herulia was their protecting god. Even if she was weak and incompetent, their actions were still betrayal.
If they really disliked her, they could just leave and seek refuge with another god.
As long as she was freed from these people, even if Herulia was weak, she could still escape on her own, right?
However,
These people chose to kill Herulia, claiming it was to prevent her from suffering humiliation.
Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!
Of course,
Although Gu Chang Ge felt a bit helpless in his heart, he also knew that this was her nature, something that couldn't be changed. He simply pretended not to notice and stood there, closing his eyes and meditating.
After a long time,
Herulia finally stopped reminiscing. She walked slowly to Gu Chang Ge's side and whispered, “Young Master Chang Ge, let's go.”
Gu Chang Ge opened his eyes, glanced at the beautiful woman beside him, and strode toward the entrance of the secret realm.
Herulia pursed her lips, puzzled as to why Young Master Chang Ge suddenly stopped paying attention to her.
But,
She didn't ask, but quickly followed.
Not long after,
The two left the secret realm and came outside.
By this time, it had been several hours since Gu Chang Ge entered the secret realm, and the sun was about to set.
And this place was not suitable for living, so the two did not stay and left the Salt Land directly.
“It's been so long since I've seen the sun! It feels like ages since I last saw it!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Chang Ge glanced at the latter and said, “You died over two thousand years ago. You just resurrected now. For you, it should only be a moment, right?”
“No, Young Master Chang Ge is wrong!”
The beauty shook her head.
“After being killed by that blade, my consciousness fell into darkness. I don't know how long it lasted, but I eventually lost all perception.”
“Only today, I have regained perception, regained the light.”
Gu Chang Ge stopped in his tracks, feeling a tinge of pity for the woman beside him.
So,
That was how she felt after death!
Before she completely lost consciousness, she must have been very lonely, right?
“By the way!”
“Young Master Chang Ge, where are we going next?”
“To Liyue Harbor, as you mentioned before?”
“No, we're not going to Liyue Harbor for now. We're going to Mondstadt.”
“I was supposed to go to Mondstadt a few days ago, but I was delayed because of you. It's time to leave now.”
“As for Liyue Harbor, we'll be back later.”
“Ah? Not going to Liyue Harbor?”
“Alright, Lia will follow Young Master Chang Ge's arrangements!”
