Chapter 427
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble... Also, as I told the Yaksha Faction before, Morax, if they don't come for the blood exchange, you have to force them to come."
"Good."
This can be considered as giving his last words.
Morax, with a blank expression, readily agreed.
Maria felt she had nothing more to say, so she sighed softly and fell silent.
Guizhong, though clearly on the verge of death, had exceptionally bright eyes, sometimes tugging at this person and muttering to themselves, sometimes pointing and gesturing at that person.
The atmosphere, which was originally extremely sad, was somehow turned into one where even the gods and immortals became impatient with her rambling on.
However, because of this, everyone felt much more at ease. At least he was with everyone in his final moments, and at least he didn't leave in extreme pain, which was enough to comfort them.
Throughout the entire process, Maria maintained a bloodline connection with Guizhong, watching over her with unwavering indulgence.
It was as if Maria would keep her talking until the Guizhong still wanted to.
But Guizhong stopped, took Maria's hand, and apologetically wiped her forehead, which was covered with the marks of Honkai and erosion.
"I'm so sorry, you must be exhausted."
"It's alright, as long as you're happy."
"Hehe, you're so good to me, Maria."
"There's no other way. If I can't be good to you and Heulia, who else can I be good to?"
Maria spoiled her without limits.
The gods and immortals inexplicably burped in their hearts.
Are you ever going to stop? Are you two ever going to shut up? Is this the time to show off your love?
With a mix of grief and absurd amusement, they watched the three of them enter the Guizhong's Cave Mansion, and the gate slammed shut behind them.
They probably thought that this glance would be their last.
But Maria had already decided that it could only be a temporary farewell, never a permanent one!
Thus ended the era of the Salt King, whose fearsome reputation once shone brightly and whose carnage surpassed even that of the Geo Archon.
The tale of one king and two gods could only remain in the hearts of the immortals and gods, gradually being forgotten by most mortals.
A century later, Morax, with the heads of the Yaksha pressed down, entered the Guizhong's Cave Mansion for the first time.
They found the Salt King, with his unparalleled beauty and noble bearing, sitting on a wooden chair in the center of the cave. One hand hung down, his wrist slashed open, blood spreading at his feet, neither drying nor seeping into the ground.
The Salt King lowered his head, looking as if he had committed suicide by cutting his wrists, or as if he were simply asleep. But even in this state, he was as beautiful and serene as a painting.
The Demon God of Dust and the Salt Demon God were both on either side of the Salt King, nestled affectionately and obediently against her lap. Gentle and contented smiles graced their lips, their faces lifelike, as if they too were simply asleep.
"They still radiated life... but that was all. In their final moments, the Salt King did everything in his power to protect them, ensuring their safety and well-being in their slumber, so that they would not become the resentment of Demon God that defiled the earth."
Morax's face was filled with sadness.
He then pointed to the bloodstains on the ground and said:
"The Salt King left instructions that you should cut your palms and place them on the bloodstains to complete the blood purification. But do not go any further. Do not violate the Salt King's last wishes, and do not touch the protective power she left behind for Guizhong and Heulia."
"..."
"What are you waiting for? She deliberately spread the bloodstains, keeping them flowing for thousands of years, all for the longevity of the Yaksha Faction. By doing it in this way, she was undoubtedly trying her best to avoid your dissatisfaction. This intention deserves our utmost gratitude, but if you don't reciprocate, then you will have wasted the Salt King's kindness! I will only say this much. Whether you want to betray her kindness or not is your choice."
Morax had nothing more to say, and his century-old grief was stirred up, so he simply walked out of the cave on his own.
Later, the Yaksha still had bloodshot eyes, and after bowing and kowtowing three times and kowtowing nine times, they had their blood replaced.
Later, the Yaksha set up an altar in front of the cave, worshipping there every year with incense burning continuously. They also agreed that during non-war periods, at least one Yaksha should always remain in front of the Guizhong's Cave Mansion to protect the peace of the king and the two gods.
The Lu Hua Garden, where Guizhong's Cave Mansion is located, gradually became a secluded place for the Yaksha, just as most immortals lived in Jueyunjian.
Time continues to roll forward, and many things develop as they were in history, but some things have changed, which are beyond the control of the general trend.
In terms of results, Anqi's experiment was a great success.
The abundant results, which made them feel burdened, meant they could only offer Maria vibrant praise:
