The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Holy Spirit Empire, Holy Mountain No. 27.

There are many holy mountains in the Holy Spirit Empire, and the number is increasing. And each holy mountain has a pond for the gods to rest. There is a giant tree next to the pond for the Vermillion Bird Lord to rest.

The giant snake opened its eyes, yawned a little hideously, climbed out of the pond, shook its head, and looked at Zhuque who had landed on the giant tree in the pond: "Wake up, wake up, why are you here again?"

"Why, you are not welcome?"

Zhuque glanced at him and accused him: "I helped you take care of the country during your sleep, and you turned your face and denied it as soon as you woke up?"

"How could it be, I admit it."

The giant snake yawned again, coiled up, and scratched its chin with the tip of its tail: "How long did I sleep this time?"

"About twenty years?"

Zhuque thought about it, noticed that the giant snake looked tired, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you look like you are getting sleepier and sleepier?"

"I had a lot of strange dreams, and I'm a little confused."

"What dream, tell me . "

"There was a dream that I somehow returned to my original world and my school days. I was in class when two beautiful girls suddenly kicked open the door and shouted my name. "

"This should be a beautiful dream, right?"

"Then one of the girls with golden hair raised her wrist and asked me if I had seen the bracelet she was wearing. Of course I hadn't seen it, so I answered honestly. "

"Then what?"

"Then...the other girl took out two submachine guns and smiled and asked me to think about it carefully. "

"..."

Suzaku was stunned for a moment, and looked at the giant snake with a strange look: "This dream is indeed a bit strange, but I do have a guess. "

"What guess...forget it, I don't want to listen. "

The giant snake reacted and shook his head immediately. He knew this friend too well. Sometimes what he said was more poisonous than his own venom.

"It's okay, I just want to say it."

Suzaku was unmoved, cleared his throat, and said: "According to my guess, Big Snake, you must have been single for thousands of years, and you couldn't stand the loneliness, so you had a wet dream!"

The giant snake stared: "You call this a wet dream?"

"Hey, don't be impatient, let me continue."

Suzaku flapped his wings and said: "But you and I were originally human-shaped. Now you have become a snake, and you feel uncomfortable looking at people and snakes, so even if you are restless, there is nothing you can do, so you have this strange wet dream!"

"That's enough!"

The giant snake wanted to seal the mouth of this crazy bird with a breath, and didn't understand why he couldn't think straight and made such a friend.

"Alas, the truth is always unpleasant to hear. This is why the truth hurts."

Suzaku shook his head and stared at the giant snake with a smile: "You can laugh secretly because you have a friend like me."

"If I couldn't beat you, I would have..."

The giant snake paused and looked up at Suzaku, looking eager to try. He had gained a lot from waking up from his deep sleep this time. Maybe this crazy bird is no longer his opponent?

"Why, do you want to compete?"

Suzaku saw what he was thinking and seemed to raise his eyebrows.

"Let's spar. The main thing is to see how much better I am."

The giant snake grinned, his fangs were cold, reflecting the sunlight, and it was quite ferocious. He took a deep breath, aimed at Suzaku, and roared out a poisonous breath!

"Roar——!"

Suzaku flapped his wings and flew, dragging his long tail feathers, with an elegant and lazy posture, flying high into the sky, scattering large pieces of red flames, flying higher and higher. Then at a certain moment, the Vermilion Bird suddenly turned around, still dragging its tail feathers, and swooped down in vain.

"Cry——"

The divine bird cried, clear and ethereal, echoing far away.

Then there was a loud noise——

"Boom!"

The high priest retracted his gaze, his expression calm, not surprised, and turned to comfort the panicked boy and girl: "Don't panic, it's the Vermilion Bird Lord and the gods playing. Get ready, the gods will come to eat later, and show your best attitude!"

"Yes, high priest!"

Feng Jun tiptoed and tried to look in the direction of the holy mountain, but could only see a little blurry fire.

The play between the gods, I really want to see it with my own eyes!

The Lord God must be very handsome!

The girl daydreamed, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity and longing.

At this moment, the handsome Lord God in her heart was slapping the flames on his body, grinning, and it took a long time to extinguish the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire clinging to his body.

"How can your flame burn everything? That's too much of a cheat!"

The giant snake was angry and secretly made up his mind that when he had a chance to reset and practice again, he would also create a powerful flame that could burn everything.

"I specialize in flames, shouldn't I be more powerful?"

Suzaku fell back to the carbonized giant tree, and said in a relaxed tone: "Do you want to spar with me again?"

"No, no, I can't beat you."

The giant snake shook its head, and the scales on its body that were burned by the divine fire quickly recovered, and there was no trace of it. He coiled up again, with his chin on the tip of his tail: "Big bird, you are the mysterious first god, right? I haven't seen a god who can fight better than you."

"Me? Of course I'm not." Suzaku denied, and then smiled: "But I have seen the first god and fought with him. To be honest, I am only a little bit worse than him, and I am considered the first god under the first god."

"That's still the second."

The giant snake muttered, and took advantage of Suzaku's glare to change the subject: "What does the first god look like?"

"What else can it look like? It's not a human."

"It can't be a human."

The giant snake felt that he was talking nonsense. Restricted by the rules of the Holy Spirit World, all gods are beast-shaped, without exception. Even if it is the first god, it is impossible to violate the restrictions of the world rules.

"Don't think about it. The first god is too special. It's not time for you to know his identity yet."

The Vermilion Bird turned his head and pecked the feathers on his wings, glancing at the giant snake: "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well think about how to solve the problem of the end of the sun."

The end of the sun, about three hundred years ago, the sun in the Holy Spirit World changed: every day, the time the sun appeared would decrease by one minute, and the night would increase by one minute.

And the situation is getting worse and worse. Every god who has reached a certain level has a premonition that in the near future, the sun will set forever, and then, the Holy Spirit World will usher in eternal death.

The giant snake looked heavy, thought for a long time, and sighed: "If I could catch the sun and beat it up, and then nail it to the sky with nails, that would be great."

"You need wisdom to deal with the end of the world." Zhuque looked contemptuous: "Forget it, you'd better not think about it, you reckless man."

"Why am I a reckless man?" The giant snake was dissatisfied: "I am obviously very good at thinking."

"Hehe, I don't think that using the body to entangle the enemy and then hitting them hard is called [good at thinking]."

"..."

Considering Zhuque's strength and the fact that he did not make up stories, the giant snake had to choose to swallow his anger and change the subject: "Are you hungry? The high priest prepared two meals. Do you want to share?"

"Go by yourself, I don't have such a good appetite as you."

Suzaku flapped his wings, and after seeing the giant snake leave, he sighed softly.

I didn't expect him to really do it, it was really strange. It's good to do it, at least it means that his choice is right.

Zhuque raised his head and looked at the shaky sun in the sky, and seemed to smile.

"This is really a dream... What difficult decision did that dead snake encounter again?"
