Chapter 134

~9 min read 1,628 words

"General, reports from the rear say that the Regent General has gone to Watatsumi Island." A Tenryou Commission warrior stepped forward respectfully.

"Hmm?"

Raiden Ei was somewhat surprised. After taking a deep look at the scene left by the Thunderbird, she put away her precious bow and said: "Go back, go to Watatsumi Island and take a look!"

"Yes!"

【Shikanoin Heizou】: The Thunderbird is really fast. It was killed on Seirai Island, right? After the Thunderbird died, the environment there can be said to be quite harsh. (Paimon. Surprised)

【Furina】: For a creature like this, its death is also a disaster. But what makes me more curious is what Orobashi wants to do? (Keqing. Questioning)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Orobashi... As far as I know, his strength cannot be compared to Beelzebul. If he really has a conspiracy, then his courage is truly great. (Seeing Zhongli. Drinking tea)

【Venti】: Is it possible that the timid starve to death, and the bold are stuffed to death?

【Gu Chen】: I'll get a Gnosis, get you a divine artifact, make it big and strong, and create brilliance again! (Funny)

【Kaeya】: That's a joke, but analyzing it rationally, it makes no sense! @【Sangonomiya Kokomi】 What exactly is your god thinking?

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: I don't know either. (Confused)

From the remaining documents, there is no description of Orobashi's motivation.

It only mentioned that Orobashi suddenly launched an eastern expedition, wanting more territory, and was then beheaded by the Raiden Shogun with a Musou no Hitotachi. Finally, the remains were left on Yashiori Island, and the huge skeleton and Musoujin Gorge can still be seen to this day.

Sangonomiya Kokomi was also somewhat in a dilemma.

Since the broadcast of the first video proved the error of the Vision Hunt Decree, the relationship between Watatsumi Island and the Shogunate has eased.

But the people of Watatsumi Island have always believed in Orobashi, not the Raiden Shogun. The two sides are different in faith.

If Orobashi really has any conspiracy in the second video, then the relationship that has just eased will probably drop to freezing point again.

Sometimes, the past life video can be read as a light novel, without needing to care.

But sometimes, the past life video can also affect a country's attitude, and even a god's perception.

"Hope it won't be a bad result..."

Sangonomiya Kokomi looked at the video, her expression filled with worry.

In the video.

Watatsumi Island.

This is a very beautiful island, like a dream.

Buildings built relying on huge scallops, crystal-clear pink pearls, waterfalls falling a thousand meters... every place is like a work extracted from a painting.

And the pool water in the center of such a beautiful island surged.

A black shadow appeared beneath the deep water.

Boom—

Huge splashes of water were kicked up, crystal-clear water droplets splashed, and the color of a rainbow flashed by in mid-air.

A head, huge to an unbelievable degree, poked out from the water surface. The pearly white scales shone brightly in the sun, and the massive body swam along the waterways within the island.

The sound of collision was made between the opening and closing of the scales and the mountain ridge.

This massive giant is the god worshipped by Watatsumi Island—Orobashi!

Just looking at the huge body that could surround the island in a circle, one knew his terrifying power.

On the beach on the east side of Watatsumi Island.

Orobashi's vertical pupils stared here.

The tide that had just receded left behind shells and fish and shrimp.

Orobashi waited quietly.

The tide rushed over again. This time it did not recede again. The tide rushing onto the beach climbed upwards, gradually forming a human shape.

The human shape formed by the waves walked in the sand, and the moment it moved away from the tide, it turned into Gu Chen's appearance.

Orobashi lowered his huge head, and even the lightest breath was like a gale because of his huge size.

When anyone faces a creature as huge as a mountain, fear inevitably arises in their heart.

But Gu Chen's expression was calm. He raised his head slightly to look at Orobashi for a long while before slowly speaking: "Lord Orobashi, I've heard much about you."

"Regent General of the Shogunate... Nice to meet you."

Orobashi spoke, his voice like a bell, and also like thunder.

Looking at Gu Chen who still had an unchanged expression while facing his divine position, Orobashi couldn't help but praise: "I heard you are a human. I have heard many of your deeds, worthy of admiration."

"You flatter me."

Gu Chen chuckled and said: "I have also heard many deeds of Lord Orobashi, who has protected the people of Watatsumi for many years and let them see the light of day again. You are a god worthy of reverence."

The compliment made Orobashi feel comfortable, but Gu Chen changed the subject and said with great regret: "But you ultimately didn't restrain your curiosity, did you?"

Orobashi's eyes were sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you know?"

"You overestimate me."

Gu Chen leaned back slightly, and the tide rushing over from behind seemed to have a spirit, forming a chair.

After sitting down, Gu Chen sighed and said: "Perhaps you don't know, there is a capability in the world called divination. As early as when you disappeared, I had a whim and divined the result... Do you really want to do that?"

"..."

Orobashi fell into a long silence. After staring at Gu Chen for a long time, he nodded helplessly: "It can only be so."

"Expected." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Orobashi didn't speak. He turned his head to look at the magnificent island behind him, his vertical pupils carrying a hint of reluctance, which finally gradually turned into firmness.

He slowly lowered his head and pleaded: "I hope they can live on, live on like the people under the Shogunate's rule."

Gu Chen said without hesitation: "Can."

"Thank you." Orobashi suddenly laughed, as if the heavy stone pressing on his heart had been completely shattered, and he became more relaxed.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Although I admire your behavior, I also need benefits." Gu Chen said.

Orobashi was stunned for a moment before reacting and asking: "What do you want?"

Gu Chen pondered for a few seconds and said: "I need something that can continuously output a large amount of power for at least a thousand years."

"What do you want this for?"

Orobashi was puzzled, then shook his head: "Forget it, I don't care. I do have this thing."

A pink pearl appeared before Gu Chen's eyes. This pearl contained power as vast as the sea.

After examining it, Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction. After putting away the pearl, he said: "Then the deal is done. Today's matter, you know, I know."

"That should be the case."

Orobashi readily agreed.

Under his gaze, Gu Chen suddenly turned into waves and fell onto the beach. After another tide, all traces disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.

Orobashi's figure was also gradually receding.

【Furina】: What exactly do the two of them mean? (Confused)

【Collei】: Can't understand their deal at all! (Frantic)

【Paimon】: Riddle-makers are like this. Either they know and deliberately don't say, and everyone has a tacit understanding, or they can't say it. In short, they are all secrets!

(Yae Miko. Sneering)

【Seeing Zhongli】: It seems Paimon has already understood our situation. (Seeing Zhongli. Drinking tea)

【Venti】: That's right, who would want to be a riddle-maker and be hated? (Shrugging)

【Kaeya】: You. (Funny)

【Dvalin】: Support Kaeya.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: The deal between them clearly has a tacit understanding. It was because Mr. Gu Chen divined something that he came to meet Orobashi. We cannot know this for the time being, but looking at Orobashi's appearance, it seems like he is entrusting an orphan, preparing to hand over the Watatsumi people to the Shogunate. I feel Orobashi is not far from death. The video keyword 【Suppressing Gods】... could it be referring to Orobashi? But although Orobashi is a god, he is not one of the Seven Archons. It's a bit concerning.

【Furina】: Suppressing the Seven Gods? That shouldn't be, right? If this is offending superiors, I will start a trial! (Paimon. Leave it to me)

【Neuvillette】: Can't you finish watching before making a decision? (Headache)

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: Looking at the appearance of the Watatsumi Omikami, he knows that his time is running out and wants to entrust Watatsumi Island to Mr. Gu Chen. But why do it privately?

【Tartaglia】: I didn't understand either. Logically speaking, directly incorporating Watatsumi Island into the Shogunate and then having Orobashi leave himself, wouldn't that be a better way to solve the problem?

【Amber】: Ahhh, this feeling of having to rely on guessing for everything is so uncomfortable! (Amber. Save me) ===== CHAPTER 136 =====

Could it be referring to Orobashi? But although Orobashi is a god, he is not one of the Seven, which is a bit concerning.

【Furina】: Suppressing the Seven? That shouldn't be right, should it? If he's going to commit such an act of insubordination, I'll have to start a trial! (Paimon. Leave it to me)

【Neuvillette】: Can't you finish watching before making a decision? (Headache)

【Sangonomiya Kokomi】: Looking at the Watatsumi Omikami's appearance, he knows his time is running out and wants to entrust Watatsumi Island to Mr. Gu Chen, but why do it in private?

【Tartaglia】: I don't get it either. Logically speaking, wouldn't it be a better solution to just incorporate Watatsumi Island into the Shogunate and have Orobashi leave on his own?

【Amber】: Ahhh, this feeling of having to guess everything is so uncomfortable! (Amber. Save me)
