Section 208

Use the power of ice to carve a crystal clear rose. The girl brings it in front of you and says with a smile that this is the 'apprenticeship ceremony'.

[It’s really quite shabby... You couldn’t help but laugh, and then said with the slightly nervous and expectant expression of the girl in front of you: ‘Okay, I will teach you later. ’]

[Bronya is a studious child, and she is smart enough, possessing superhuman wisdom and character. At the same time, you find that her power is not weak. Although she is not at the level of a top demon, she can survive in this troubled world. Guarantee is no problem. 】

[So you started to teach her how to better use her power. Bronya was obviously not happy when she heard it, but you told her that 'power is a powerful tool to practice wisdom'. From then on, Bronya started Work harder. 】

[In the fiftieth year of the Entropy Calendar, a huge cold wave broke out in the country in the winter. 】

[This is not caused by the power of the devil, but a real natural disaster. The day is replaced by a long night. The sky and the ground are filled with heavy snow, as if it wants to bury all civilization. 】

[Initially, you thought it was due to the geographical location of the Winter Solstice Country. Since it was a naturally continuous cold winter, it would definitely not last too long, but you soon discovered that you were wrong. 】

[In the fifty-first year of the Entropy Calendar, the cold wave lasted for one year, and all food cultivation in Utopia was destroyed. 】

[There is no such thing as a greenhouse in this era. The people rely on mountains and rivers and rely on God for food. The backward farming technology is simply vulnerable to huge natural disasters. 】

[In the fifty-second year of the Entropy Calendar, the entire Utopia ran out of food. Not only that, as the cold wave became more and more severe, people froze to death one after another, and the entire Utopia fell into a huge disaster even in the winter. 】

[In the fifty-third year of Entropy Calendar, the population of Utopia has dropped by 60%. You have to order the people to gather and enter the royal city to seek refuge. 】

[You exerted your power and used your power to protect the entire royal city. However, despite this, it was difficult to maintain everyone's life with the resources in the royal city, so you ordered the ice wolves and guards to enter the cold wave to find food. 】

"The ancient prophecy has begun. This will be the end of one reincarnation and the beginning of the next one."

At some point, such a saying spread in the city.

It is said that in ancient times, messengers from the sky walked the earth, bringing prosperity and knowledge to mankind and spreading the greatness of the sky.

The sky is happy because of human laughter, and sad because of human sadness.

But later, the sin of transgression was born deep in the heart, so the sky sent down divine punishment, causing civilization to move between the rise and fall.

"What a cruel prophecy." In the palace, Bronya's face also lost the smile of the past. She felt unspeakably distressed when she looked at the little human being who was suffering from hunger and cold.

"Civilization is obviously a result of hard work, but must it be destroyed? The so-called transgression is just like a rooster stretching its neck. It can't turn into a phoenix no matter what... What is the sky afraid of?"

Looking at her, Su Chen said softly: "It's just some rumors, and it's not true. We don't need to worry about what Tian Tian thinks, as long as we do the things in front of us well."

"But teacher..." Bronya looked sad, "No matter how hard we try, there are still things we can't do. These poor little guys, they just want to live peacefully, even if they can't do this?"

Su Chen said: "If the position of the Ice God can be determined, there will be no more disputes in the winter. By then, humans can truly live a stable life."

"Ice God?" Bronya raised her eyes and said expectantly: "Teacher, you come to be the Ice God!"

[You didn’t say anything about Bronya’s proposal, because you don’t need to think about it. The top priority is how to protect the people of Utopia. 】

[The hunting guards died in the snow one after another. Even the corpses were frozen and torn apart by the cold wind. In this bad weather, even the ice wolves could not move freely, let alone those beasts. , the beasts are all dead, how to hunt? 】

[In the fifty-fourth year of the Entropy Calendar, the trend of population decline has not slowed down. Food has become the biggest problem for survival. Even in the Utopia King City, conflicts for survival are still being staged every day. 】

[You realize that continuing like this is not the answer. Perhaps this land has violated the taboos of the sky, so it will impose such a punishment. The sky does not care about the life and death of human beings. Maybe there are some mischievous gods who want to see the process of human beings struggling in despair. . 】

[So you began to look for a way to solve the cold wave. You sank your consciousness into Void Manzo and obtained the information inside. Perhaps you felt your strong desire. This time, Void Manzo's will did not stop you. 】

[After spending half a year, you have found a method that may be feasible. 】

[You ask Bronya to help, set up seven altars in the Offit Mountains, use ancient power to carve mysterious and obscure magic circles, and then use all your strength to explode the power of ice in your body. 】

[When the power of the altar is activated, the ice that freezes everything seals the sky, and all the falling snow is melted between heaven and earth. 】

"Bravo!"

On a hillside, Bronya, who had witnessed all this with her own eyes, covered her lips and made a sound of wonder.

As the altar operated, the power of the earth veins was forcibly extracted to maintain the existence of this space. The sky and the earth, the ancient trees and the mountains, the temperature gradually rose. A huge device rose above the seven altars, and the energy emitted collided in the sky of the Ofit Mountains, forming a white light that was enough to illuminate everything, just like the sun.

When the device was turned on, the sun rose high, and when the device was turned off, the night fell.

It was the first time that Bronya saw such a great feat.

This is probably a miracle! ... She thought in her heart that no one could do such a miracle except her teacher.

[Thanks to your efforts, the cold wave in the sky was blocked outside the Ofit Mountains. The people who regained vitality and freedom cheered and praised your greatness, and called you "Chaos", which means the god of creation. ]

[Everything in the Ofit Mountains gradually returned to its original appearance. The people of Utopia walked out of the city, breathing greedily, and then began to reproduce on this land again. 】

"Finally, I can live freely again." Looking at the utopia that was beginning to be rebuilt, Bronya smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Freedom..." Su Chen raised his head, his eyes passed through the sky illuminated by white light, and he still saw the desperate wind, snow and cold wave... Where is there any freedom? He just worked hard to change a bigger cage for his people.

【At this moment, a very strong emotion spread in your heart. Is it anger? Unwilling? You feel that the sky has trampled on your dignity and ruthlessly crushed the masterpiece you carefully cared for. 】

【But soon you calmed down again. As the prophecy said, rise and fall is a fall, and now they are at the end of the cycle. 】

"It's a pity for those people in the Ophite Mountains. They can only die in despair."

Bronya sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Bronya, remember this: if you want to protect everything, you will end up protecting nothing." Su Chen said softly, "Before you do something, first think about how much you can do."

"I remember, teacher."

[In the 56th year of the Entropy Calendar, the people of Utopia began to build a new civilization in the Ofit Mountains. The old cities covered by the wind and snow were also excavated little by little with the efforts of the people. ]

[More and more people came from outside the wind and snow to this mountain range to seek shelter from Chaos. ]

[Although the cold wave killed a large number of humans, as more and more people sought shelter, even later there were demons with their families seeking shelter. These people gathered together. Although the land was temporarily sufficient, food and supplies became the biggest problem that troubled Utopia for a while. ]

[You did not drive away those who sought shelter. After some thought, you made a decision. 】

"Liyue is rich in resources, and the Human Emperor has ruled the Nine Provinces. The war between the demon gods there has long ended, and the land of Liyue has returned to unity. There should be a lot of food stored." Su Chen said to Bronya, "So I plan to go over and take a look."

Bronya worriedly said: "But is that Morax really willing to lend us food?"

"Not lending, but exchanging. There are many unused precious devices in the city. Using these to exchange for food should be enough for the people of the Ophit Mountains to get through the most difficult period. Don't worry, I know the Human Emperor of Liyue, and I think Morax can give me some face."

It's a pity that the Human Emperor collapsed in the 38th year of the Entropy Calendar, otherwise he could let the Human Emperor make the decision directly.

The Desert Emperor on Xumi logged into his account, but it was a pity that Xumi was too far away from the Winter Solstice, so it was not convenient to distribute a large amount of materials. Moreover, this period of time happened to be the end of the six-nation dispute provoked by the desert. Although the Desert Emperor's strength reached a very strong level, Shurima had suffered a heavy blow and its national strength was also greatly weakened.

After saying that, Su Chen sighed again. With such a strong talent and template, plus the help of the Human Emperor, he thought it was a good start, but in the end, no matter how good the conditions were, he couldn't withstand that wave of cold waves.

He had simulated so many times, but he had never been as embarrassed as he was now, and he actually fell to the point of asking others to exchange food for his living.

"One day, I will poke a hole in this damn sky." Su Chen muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Teacher, what did you say just now?" Bronya tilted her head.

"Nothing." Su Chen waved his hand, "She said you are so cute."

Bronya blinked.

"Teacher, can I go to Liyue with you?"

"Okay, I'll take you out to see the world."

[There are already other demons in Utopia, and there are no external threats under the tide, so you don't worry about being attacked here. ]

[Soon, you and Bronya arrived in Liyue. ]

Return to Liji!

The familiar streets were crowded with people, and the noisy yo-hos were vying with each other, as if whoever shouted louder could attract more business.

When Su Chen walked in here, he found that today was the Human Emperor Festival.

"It's so lively!"

Bronya was amazed, "Is this really the Demon God War period? Did I open my eyes the wrong way today?"

Su Chen was speechless: "Today is the Human Emperor Festival, of course it's lively."

"Human Emperor Festival?" Bronya turned her head, "Teacher, didn't you say that the Human Emperor is your friend? Since he has such a great influence in Liyue, let's go find him."

"Well... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"Why?"

"Because he's dead."

Bronya: "..."

No, teacher, the emperor is dead, are you sure your kindness will work here? Will Morax drive us out?

Having said that, even though she was worried, the girl couldn't resist her curiosity and excitedly visited the festival.

Because the currency has not yet been unified, Liyue still uses the temporary currency negotiated by the emperor and Morax. Of course, barter is not rejected, after all, this is the core of the transaction.

This time, Su Chen brought a lot of spices and gold, which were accumulated during the development of Utopia. Unfortunately, no matter how much gold there is, it can't be exchanged for a bucket of rice in the cold wave.

"Teacher, this way!"

Bronya was completely immersed in the lively atmosphere of the emperor festival.

Her lively figure and beautiful appearance quickly attracted the attention of the people of Liyue, and then Su Chen, who was traveling with her, naturally also attracted attention.

Then the people of Liyue discovered a problem.

"Fuck! Lord Human Emperor?!"

"Lord Human Emperor? Where is he?"

"Over there! Look, does that person look very similar to Lord Human Emperor?"

"Fuck! How can they look very similar? They look very similar!"

"Do you think he is really Lord Human Emperor?"

The Human Emperor has just passed away for 18 years, but his majesty is still there, especially for this generation of Liyue people, who have almost grown up under the protection of the Human Emperor.

Look at our Liyue, and then look at Mondstadt and Xumi next door. The comparison is simply a world of difference!

Therefore, this generation of Liyue people has the craziest belief in the Human Emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that if these people knew that the Liyue people in the real world turned the Human Emperor's ruins into a tourist attraction and made a fortune in the name of the Human Emperor, they would have to open the coffin lid!

No, there is no need to open the coffin lid at all, just don't give birth, and cut off the descendants!

"Haha~ Teacher, look, this little guy looks like you." Bronya picked up a Q-version figurine on the stall. Due to the lack of skills, the figurines today are far less delicate than the real ones, but the general outline can still be seen.

Bronya raised her head and said to Su Chen with a smile, but soon found that the situation around her was a little bit wrong.

"Teacher, why are they all looking at us?"

"Excuse me, are you the emperor?" A Liyue person asked bravely.

Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "I am not, I am also here to worship the emperor."
