Chapter 75

"General, report from the rear, the Regent General has gone to Watatsumi Island." A Tenryou Commission warrior stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Hmm?"

Raiden Ei was somewhat surprised, looked deeply at the scene left by the Thunderbird, and then put away her precious bow: "Return, let’s go to Watatsumi Island and see!"

"Yes!"

[Shikanoin Heizou]: The Thunderbird is really fast. The location where it was killed was Seirai Island, right? After the Thunderbird died, the environment there could be said to be quite harsh. (Paimon: shocked)

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

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Orobashi... As far as I know, his strength cannot be compared with Beelzebul. If he really has a conspiracy, then his courage is truly great. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli: 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, make you a divine artifact, make it big and strong, and create brilliance again! (Funny)

[Kaeya]: Jokes are jokes, but analyzing rationally, it doesn't make sense! @[Sangonomiya Kokomi], what exactly is your god thinking?

[Sangonomiya Kokomi]: I don't know either. (Confused)

From the remaining literature, 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, his remains were left on Yashiori Island, and one can still see the huge skeleton and Musoujin Gorge to this day.

Sangonomiya Kokomi was also in a dilemma.

Since the first video was played, proving the error of the Vision Hunt Decree, the relationship between Watatsumi Island and the Shogunate had eased.

But the people of Watatsumi Island always believed in Orobashi, not the Raiden Shogun, and the two sides were different in faith.

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

Sometimes, past life videos can be watched as light novels, without needing to care.

But sometimes, past life videos can also affect a country’s attitude, or even a deity’s perception.

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

Sangonomiya Kokomi looked at the video, her expression carrying worry.

In the video.

Watatsumi Island.

This is a very beautiful island, like a dream.

Buildings built relying on giant scallops, crystal-clear round pink pearls, waterfalls falling for thousands of meters... every place looks like it was extracted from a painting.

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

A black shadow appeared under the deep water.

Bang—

A huge splash of water splashed up, crystal water droplets flew, and the color of a rainbow flashed by in mid-air.

A huge head that was unbelievable emerged from the water surface, the pearly white scales shining in the sun, and the huge body swam along the waterways within the island.

The scales opened and closed, making a collision sound against the mountain ridge.

This behemoth was the demon god worshiped by Watatsumi Island—Orobashi!

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

On the beach on the east side of Watatsumi Island.

Orobashi’s vertical pupils were watching here.

The receding tide left behind shells, fish, and shrimp.

Orobashi waited quietly.

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

The human shape condensed from sea 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 breathing was like a hurricane because of his huge size.

Anyone facing a creature as huge as a mountain would inevitably feel fear.

But Gu Chen’s expression was calm. He raised his head slightly and looked at Orobashi for a long time before slowly speaking: "Lord Orobashi, long time no see."

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

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

Looking at Gu Chen, who remained calm even when facing the demon god, Orobashi couldn't help but praise: "I heard you are human. I have heard many of your deeds, worthy of admiration."

"You flatter me."

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

A compliment made Orobashi feel comfortable, but Gu Chen changed the subject and said very regretfully: "But you ultimately failed to curb your curiosity, right?"

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 from behind seemed to have spirit, forming a chair.

After sitting down, Gu Chen sighed: "Perhaps you don't know, there is a capability in the world called divination. Long before 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: "I have no choice."

"Expected." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

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

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

Gu Chen said without hesitation: "I can."

"Thank you." Orobashi suddenly laughed, as if the heavy stone pressing on his heart had been completely shattered, becoming a bit lighter.

"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 need this for?"

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

A pink pearl appeared in front of Gu Chen, and this pearl contained power as vast as the sea.

After examining it, Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction, put the pearl away, and said: "Then the transaction is complete. Today’s matter, you know, I know."

"Naturally."

Orobashi readily agreed.

Under his gaze, Gu Chen suddenly turned into waves and fell onto the beach. After one 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 transaction at all! (Frantic)

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

(Yae Miko: sneer)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: It seems Paimon has understood our situation. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli: tea)

[Venti]: That’s right, who wants to be a riddle-maker and be hated? (Shrugs)

[Kaeya]: You. (Funny)

[Dvalin]: Support Kaeya.

[Shikanoin Heizou]: The transaction 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, as if he were entrusting an orphan, preparing to hand over the Watatsumi people to the Shogunate, I feel Orobashi is not far from death. The keyword of the video [Suppressing the Deity]—could it be referring to Orobashi? But although Orobashi is a demon god, he is not one of the Seven Archons, which is a bit concerning.

[Furina]: Suppressing the Seven Archons? Shouldn't be, right? If it’s such an act of insubordination, 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 Great Watatsumi Deity, he knew his time was running out and wanted to entrust Watatsumi Island to Mr. Gu Chen, but why do it privately?

[Tartaglia]: I didn't understand either. Logically speaking, directly merging Watatsumi Island into the Shogunate and then Orobashi leaving himself, wouldn't that be a better solution?

[Amber]: Ahhh, this feeling of having to guess everything is so uncomfortable! (Amber: save me) ===== CHAPTER 138 =====

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 Archons? That shouldn't be right, should it? If he's committing treason like this, 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 appearance of the Watatsumi Omikami, it seems 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 himself?

[Amber]: Ahhh, this feeling of having to guess everything is so uncomfortable! (Amber: Save me)
