Stealing the Salt God's Power, Mistaken for the Salt God's Reincarnation

After Guili Plains who should guide the construction of Guili Plain, Ningguang, Keqing, and the others had even more urgent tasks to complete.

The current situation in Liyue Harbor is causing turmoil, a time of great anxiety. Especially given the recent appearance of the Rex Lapis at the Rite of Descension, the prestige of the Liyue Qixing is at its lowest point.

Ningguang had to step in immediately to appease the people.

Keqing couldn't afford to be idle either, as this disturbance would likely reveal numerous housing problems. Before Bai Ye could rebuild Guiliya, those houses that needed temporary repairs needed to be repaired. As for those that couldn't be repaired again, Keqing would also build temporary housing for them.

This disturbance in the crowd is both a disaster and a rare test for the Liyue Qixing. If these individuals handle it well, it will undoubtedly leave a deeper impression on the people.

Ganyu also had something she wanted to do.

She spoke to Bai Ye:

"We don't know how those foreign businessmen will feel about this earthquake, so it's necessary to step in and reassure them."

He said this.

Shenhe glanced at Bai Ye, feeling very reluctant to part with him. However, after thinking for a moment, she said to Ganyu, "Senior Sister, may I go with you to see the merchants at the port?"

She wanted to learn more about human affairs so that she could better get along with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye has already eliminated the loneliness and misfortune in my destiny, and now I need to experience the full spectrum of human nature. Being stubborn and inflexible isn't a good choice; I must find a suitable approach.

As for taking a hard line, that's a last resort.

She wants to take a look at Liyue Harbor now.

However, before leaving Bai Ye, she looked down at Bai Ye and asked, "By the way, Bai Ye, what kind of scenery and food do you like in Liyue Harbor?"

"Me?" Bai Ye was a little surprised to hear Shenhe's question, but he still answered honestly, "Me? I just want to watch the ships coming and going in Liyue Harbor, listen to Miss Ying'er from Chunxiang Kiln make a few jokes, and then eat some food from Wanmin Restaurant. That's all."

His remaining hobbies are counting money and thinking about how to make money, which he's too embarrassed to admit.

Shenhe nodded upon hearing Bai Ye's words.

"What? Why are you asking this?"

Bai Ye asked in confusion.

"I think I would like those too."

Shenhe said to Bai Ye.

After saying that, she was about to go down to Jade Chamber with Ganyu.

Seeing Shenhe and Ganyu leave, Bai Ye was just about to think about how to proceed with the mechanism when someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around, he saw Yelan.

"Yelan, what's wrong? Wait, what are you doing?"

Bai Ye had just seen Yelan approaching him and was about to ask what she wanted when Bai Ye noticed Yelan raising the silk thread.

Hey hey hey...

There are also the Millelith around.

"Oh, I was just telling you again, how about we go do something exciting and passionate?"

Yelan gently touched Bai Ye's earlobe and said.

In that brief moment, Yelan instinctively wanted to reach out and tie him up. Luckily, the allure only lasted a short while, otherwise Yelan really didn't know what would have happened.

So she followed Ningguang's example and started teasing Bai Ye.

She had just experienced the feeling of Ningguang. Drinking with Bai Ye like this was quite a rewarding experience.

Exciting romance?

Bai Ye's face turned pale instantly.

"I'm still a child!"

"No, didn't you cause this whole mess?" Yelan said to Bai Ye, holding the silk thread. "Those Fatui are the last group of Fatui active in Liyue besides the Chasm. As long as we deal with them, we won't encounter Fatui sabotage or infiltration when we rebuild Guili Plains. This situation is still very important."

"So it was about Wanyan's affair. I thought it was something else."

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"What if it's a different situation?" Yelan glanced at Bai Ye.

"Yelan," Bai Ye pleaded with Yelan.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go find Miss Wanyan." Yelan retracted the silk thread.

"You go and explore the ruins of the Salt God with Wanyan, and I'll follow behind you. Even if there's a massacre of Fatui, the two of us can handle it."

"Good!"

Bai Ye agreed.

Immediately, the two prepared to set off to deal with this organization that might ultimately cause some damage to the construction of Guili.

However, before setting off, Yelan couldn't help but ask Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, have you felt any changes in your body?"

Before, those people only saw you as someone having erotic fantasies, but now you're about to embark on a path of crime.

"Change?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any ideas.

He genuinely didn't feel any change.

So, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask Hagintos in his head, "Teacher, has my body changed?"

"Yes, it's getting prettier and prettier."

Hagintos really didn't see anything special, but all he could say was that Bai Ye's good looks were starting to stir up some kind of impulse.

However Hagintos was also grateful that Bai Ye in Liyue, a relatively peaceful era. If she had lived in the era of the Archon War she had experienced, Bai Ye's appearance would either have made her a canary for one or a group of powerful women, or she would have used her looks to establish a cult or something else.

"Really? Maybe I've grown into my newer features?"

"I'm sorry, you haven't made even the slightest bit of progress this past month."

"How could this be!?"

Bai Ye fell into deep despair and stopped thinking about anything else.

However, as his teacher, Hagintos reminded Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, should we prepare some mechanisms? You failed in your attempt to embed the Gods's bones. Isn't the Salt God Gods weak this time? Perhaps we could give it a try?"

"Want to try? Fine, let me see what kind of ingenious mechanisms I can use to perform this within my Serenitea Pot."

Upon arriving at Jade Chamber, Bai Ye Yelan that he needed to prepare some mechanisms inside the Serenitea Pot. Yelan nodded and then went to conduct preliminary investigations.

Bai Ye once again attempted to create an extremely sturdy mechanical arm within the Serenitea Pot, and even hung immortal talismans on it.

Meanwhile, to prevent any further fighting, Bai Ye once again prepared numerous traps on his body.

Having done all that, he prepared to go out.

But then he thought about it again and felt he couldn't just go straight there. He should do some pre-arranged disguise first.

You can't just follow Ying's example and wear an eye patch to cover it up, can you?

He picked up a black cloak and put on a black mask to cover his appearance.

However, height cannot be changed. Wearing prosthetics or similar devices would severely hinder the development of one's Genshin Eye power, so it's best to avoid it.

Besides, my height is about the average height for a male in Teyvat. Anyone taller than me has gigantism.

Bai Ye comforted herself in her heart.

Disguised, he went to find Wanyan.

Following the address Wanyan left yesterday, Bai Ye quickly found her home.

Knock knock knock—

Wanyan gently knocked on the door, and quickly opened it.

She was surprised to see Bai Ye in disguise.

"Let me tell you, Liyue is not a lawless place."

"It's me, Miss Wanyan," Bai Ye said to Wanyan.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's voice, Wanyan visibly relaxed. She asked Bai Ye, "It's you! I thought it was someone else. Why are you dressed like this?"

"Of course, it's to avoid being seen by others. I don't want to have anything to do with the faith of the Gods, as the best Bounty Hunter in Liyue."

Bai Ye spoke to Wanyan using self-consistent logic.

Wanyan nodded in understanding when she heard Bai Ye say that.

"Okay, but you have to protect me from now on," Wanyan said to Bai Ye.

"Of course, I will protect you well."

Bai Ye heard Wanyan say that, he smiled and nodded.

Wanyan looked around.

"Perfect timing. Everyone around us has taken cover because of the earthquake. Let's seize this opportunity to move," she said to Bai Ye.

"Good."

Bai Ye nodded.

From now on, we'll have to rely on Wanyan to lead the way.

It took Bai Ye and Wanyan some time to travel from Liyue Harbor to Dihua Marsh.

Along the way, Bai Ye didn't forget to ask Wanyan where the Fatui were. At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he should attack Tartaglia directly if he saw her, or continue to pretend if he saw the Fatui's soldiers.

We arrived at the small island in the lake at Dihua Marsh.

This is a Hilichurl camp.

Wanyan pointed at the Great Hilichurl King and said to Bai Ye, "Next, I will use a signal to invite the members of the Fatui to cooperate with us. You will take care of this Great Hilichurl King during this time to see if you are capable of making a living off bounties."

"Are you doubting my abilities? Fine, I'll prove it to you."

Bai Ye had no objection to this.

He charged straight at the Great Hilichurl King.

At this moment, the Great Hilichurl King was still resting.

I'm full, I want to rest.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he saw a black figure rushing towards him.

What's this!?

Soon, a series of pitiful cries from the Great Hilichurl King echoed from the small island in the lake.

Wanyan Yan watched Bai Ye do this from a distance and couldn't help but shudder.

It seems the current situation confirms that the person I chose to protect this time is quite reliable, but their personality is another matter. However, this is actually quite good; at least Bai Ye and the Fatui can keep each other in check, allowing me to better investigate the truth of the matter.

After Bai Ye finished dealing with the Great Hilichurl King and helped the other Hilichurl to be freed, he returned to Wanyan's side.

At this moment, a blond man appeared beside Wanyan. Judging from his appearance and clothing, he should be a member of the Fatui.

"Who are you?"

He still asked the question knowing the answer already.

"I am Clement, a merchant from the Snezhnaya, and the sponsor of your excavation."

"Really? Then can you give me the money first? I'm not curious about what you're investigating, I just want to see the money."

Bai Ye thought to himself, "If I arrest you later, who knows whose Mora you'll have. It's better to come over now; otherwise, it'll be absolutely impossible for me to get it back."

"Can I give it to you now?" Clement looked at Bai Ye, thought for a moment, and said to him, "I can give you half now, and I'll give you the other half after we enter the Salt God's Ruins."

Here, take this half and have a look. Lord Tartaglia is already lying in ambush outside the ruins of the Salt God; he'll make you spit everything out then.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, completely thwarted the plan.

Seeing this, Wanyan not only didn't notice anything amiss, but actually felt very happy.

It would be great if it could be completed smoothly.

"Let's go, let's go to the ruins of the Salt God now."

So Wanyan led Bai Ye and Clement to the ruins of the Sal Terrae, the site of the Salt God.

"This is the site of Lady Huyrria's ruins." Wanyan looked at Clemento. "Next, didn't you say that you Fatui are experts at solving puzzles? This is where you should solve the puzzles."

"Unlock the mechanism..." Clemento looked slightly embarrassed when he heard Wanyan say this.

"I don't know how to do this."

"What!? You can't?"

Wanyan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I... I thought we could enter the Gods Ruins directly?" Clemento said in a low voice.

They were in a hurry to leave, so they agreed to everything.

"Then what are we here for?" Wanyan touched her forehead.

"If we can't solve this puzzle, there's nothing we can do."

Seeing this, Bai Ye also sighed.

He stepped forward and said to the two men, "There's a mechanism here, but I have a way to solve it."

He now hopes that the method to unlock the mechanism here is the same as the one he remembered.

"You... you have a way to solve this?"

Wanyan was surprised and said.

"Yes, I have a way to solve this."

Bai Ye nodded.

Then, he began to undo the seals according to the method he remembered.

After some effort, Bai Ye and the others actually managed to unravel these mysteries.

Clemento and Wanyan were overjoyed to see that the taboo had been lifted.

"Remember to add money, okay?"

Seeing them happy, Bai Ye reminded Clemento.

"No problem, no problem."

Clemento casually agreed.

Then,

The three of them entered the ruins together.

Bai Ye wasn't entirely unfamiliar with entering ruins. In fact, this time, entering the Ruins of the Salt God was even more refreshing than entering the Ruins of the Salt Gods before.

Clemento and Wanyan were entering for the first time.

They were very curious about this place.

However, when they saw the humanoid figure made of salt, the two of them were taken aback.

"So, did the Salt God use salt to create the statue?"

"Don't you want to know that this is actually a living, breathing human being?"

Bai Ye smiled at the two of them.

"That's impossible. Lady Huyrria wouldn't be such a cruel person," Wanyan said to Bai Ye, shaking her head.

Let's keep going!

Then, the three of them saw a salt cup.

"What kind of lousy artifact is this? It even contains salt. This the Salt God doesn't seem to be a wealthy Gods!" Clemento commented on the salt cup.

"Don't underestimate this salt cup."

Bai Ye picked up the salt cup.

He was observant; he knew perfectly well that the Salt God had completely vanished, leaving no trace, unlike the previous Gods who could still spew bones. If that was the case, could her power reside within some object?

This is the derivation by the White Robe and Hagintos.

Bai Ye picked up the salt cup, but felt no lingering sensation.

"This salt cup is only half full of salt. But it will always be half full. In other words, the salt inside is endless."

"What!?" Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Clemento immediately became anxious. He rushed up to Bai Ye and said, "Give me this right now!"

"Give me the money first, then we'll talk."

Bai Ye said to Clemento.

"Okay, here you go, I'll give you the money."

Clemento spoke hurriedly to Bai Ye.

Then he took out another portion of Mora from his waist.

Anyway, with this salt cup, you can easily earn it back later. Besides, it's not even certain whether you'll actually get the money.

"Good."

Bai Ye handed the salt cup to Clemento.

Wanyan became anxious.

"Hey, how could you give him the Salt God's stuff!?"

"They paid me, why can't I take it?"

Bai Ye laughed and said to Clemento.

"Yes, this young man is right." Clemento nodded quickly upon hearing Bai Ye's words.

I thought to myself, this young man has a really nice way of speaking.

Wait, should we ask him if he wants to join the Fatui? If he does, giving him the money isn't out of the question.

"Snort."

Wanyan stomped her foot angrily, then went into the next room.

Bai Ye and Clemento followed behind.

The first house can turn anything inserted into the ground into a quantity of salt.

Bai Ye picked up the measuring cup first again.

There is still no power or authority of the Salt God.

Bai Ye handed the scales to Clemento again.

Clemento was very pleased.

Seeing him happy made Bai Ye even happier.

Look how happy you are now, but you'll be crying and heartbroken in a moment.

"You are the blasphemous the Salt God!"

Wanyan was furious, and she once again went to the third room first.

Bai Ye followed behind again.

Inside the room, the broken sword was still enshrined on it.

Clemento was very excited and said to Bai Ye, "If the salt cup and measuring cup are so powerful, then this sword must be able to take off!"

"Hehe..."

Bai Ye smiled maliciously.

"This broken sword..."

He picked up the broken sword, about to explain its origin.

Then,

Bai Ye's expression changed, and the smile on his face froze.

The broken sword had some Gods aura and other impurities on its surface, Bai Ye easily dispelled with a slight inhalation. Then, under this layer of protection, the Gods power he had been imagining was actually inside it.

How is that possible?!

Why is Huyrria's power contained within this broken sword?

In the end, she didn't place her hopes on the objects she created, but rather on this broken sword.

What is the purpose?

Just as Bai Ye was pondering this, Hagintos's voice appeared.

"I think that even in her final moments, this the Salt God hoped that her power could protect her people. In her final moments, she released her power. Even if, in the end, the place she entrusted her power to was the place that killed her own evil spirit."

"..."

Bai Ye fell silent.

He knew that the Gods loved one, but he never expected that a god like Huyrria would entrust her power to this broken sword.

I love you all, and no matter what you have done, I am willing to use my last bit of strength to protect you.

The people of the Salt God are truly unworthy of worshipping Huyrria.

Bai Ye thought to herself.

Sensing that Bai Ye was in a low mood, Hagintos quickly said:

"Alright, Bai Ye, let's not talk about such sentimental things. Let's hurry up and try to see if we can fit the broken sword into the mechanism. At that time, we will be able to say that we have mastered the power of the Salt God."

"Um."

Bai Ye picked up the two broken swords, and at the same time, he took out the mechanical arm that he had hidden behind his cloak.

The two women quickly joined together under their cloaks.

With a flick of his wrist, Bai Ye activated the power of the Salt God, turning everything around him into salt.

The entire world, except for Bai Ye, Clemento, and Wanyan, had turned into salt.

This is the power of the Gods.

These are vastly different from items created using the power of Gods.

Clemento and Wanyan both clearly sensed that Bai Ye was wielding the power of the Salt God.

At this moment, Bai Ye frowned slightly.

He successfully unleashed the power of the Salt God, but his mechanical arm still shattered inside the cloak.

Even the power of the Salt God is beyond what ordinary materials on Bai Ye's side can bear.

He sighed regretfully, then looked at Clemento and Wanyan.

"How... how do you make sashimi?"

Clemento was greatly surprised to see that Bai Ye had successfully unleashed the Salt God's skill.

Then, he looked overjoyed.

"Here, give me this quickly!"

He was originally sent by Dada Yangya to find some relics of the Gods so he could sell them for a good price. But the white-robed man's actions now... does this mean we can also wield the powers of the Gods god? What if we could bring this ability to Her Majesty the Queen?

The Queen will surely reward herself handsomely.

Clement had already begun to fantasize about his wonderful life in the Snezhnaya.

He couldn't help but step forward, wanting to ask Bai Ye for the broken sword.

Meanwhile, Wanyan, standing to the side, saw that Bai Ye had unleashed such an ability, and her eyes instantly turned fervent.

"No, no, Bai Ye, are you the reincarnation of the Salt God Gods?"

All her anger just now has disappeared.

Bai Ye,

If the Salt God is reincarnated, then he will surely lead them to rebuild their home.

Morax has already left Liyue.

Wanyan thought to herself.
