Zhongli cannot concede them because of the agreement and as punishment tells the follower the truth about her deity.

The truth is that her god, Hevria, was a weak Archon, not possessing special strength and unable to stand on a par with the Seven. During the war, she fled and surrendered, thinking that she would protect her people and herself. Hebria lost all territory except for the dungeon. And the sword found is the weapon with which the goddess was killed.

Wan Yan does not believe Zhongli's words and is angry with him. She accuses him of lying and runs away. The girl must be caught up in order to provide indisputable evidence.

Behind the door of the room one can see a huge number of people turned into salt statues. It is the site of the death of Archon Salt, who was killed by her own followers, disillusioned by her weakness. The power of the deity, released by her death, turned those near her into statues. The survivors took refuge with Geo Archon.

Wan Yan continues to reject Zhongli's words and believes that he is trying to break her faith. Possessed by emotions, she runs away from the ruins, and Morax asks to accompany him to the Guyun stone forest.
