The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 349 The Situation of Xumi City
Just when Elhaisen and his companions went to the prison to rescue Ying, the ordinary Xumi people in Xumi City fell down one after another like wheat being harvested. Some people who discovered the abnormality, after realizing that there might be something wrong with the void terminal, did not take it down immediately, but were very hesitant.

This was a little difficult for Zhongli, who had just returned from a tour of the desert, to understand. He saw with his own eyes that a person who had reacted had already placed his hand on the Void Terminal. It was obvious that he could take the Void Terminal down with just a little force, but that person fainted after hesitating for a while.

This kind of thing happened in various places in Xumi City. Zhongli was puzzled and felt a slight disgust towards this thing called Void Terminal. In his opinion, the people of Xumi relied too much on this thing and even developed a dependent mentality and habit, which was not a good phenomenon for a country.

The fact is just as Zhongli guessed. Ever since the Void Terminal was installed, the dependence of the Xumi people on the Void Terminal has become stronger and stronger. Just imagine that a Xumi person has been using the Void Terminal since birth. This thing can always provide help when you need to query various things. At the same time, this Xumi person finds that his parents are also using this thing. Over time, the dependence on it will become stronger and stronger.

In this environment, if they were asked to take down the Void Terminal, their inner dependence would definitely play tricks on them. This is why people like Zhongli saw who had the opportunity to take down the Void Terminal but couldn't do it.

However, considering that Xumi had not been governed by his colleague, the Little Auspicious Grass King, Zhongli did not think much about the Xumi people lying on the ground. He believed that after this incident, the Little Auspicious Grass King should have noticed this when governing Xumi, and he would not need to do anything.

However, these Sumeru people did not simply faint. Their spiritual power seemed to be constantly dissipating. Zhongli stopped beside a Sumeru person and looked at the painful expression that continued to emerge on his face. He looked in the direction of Jingshan Palace thoughtfully.

In Zhongli's perception, all these spiritual powers poured into there, and these spiritual powers were also absorbed in that direction. This made Zhongli suddenly think of what Zhiyi said at that time, that the Ministry of Education was preparing to create a new god to replace the little auspicious grass king.

Is this the method of the created god? From the looks of it, this created god doesn't seem to love people very much, and doesn't like the Xumi he created. If he continues to absorb spiritual power like this, after this disaster, there will probably be few Xumi people who can wake up from their coma.

After thinking for a while, Zhongli decided to go and see what the created god looked like. He had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen an artificial god. This made the old man Zhongli very curious. After all, he flew all the way back from the desert just to see what this artificial god looked like.

As for strength, Zhongli did not take this artificial god seriously. Not to mention that this was the territory of Little Auspicious Grass King, so how could Little Auspicious Grass King lose? In terms of power, this artificial god was no match for Little Auspicious Grass King. Regarding this point, Zhongli still believed in his judgment.

However, even though he believed it, Zhongli still had to go and take a look. In case of any accidents, he could still help. Moreover, he also wanted to talk to the little auspicious grass king about the cooperation between Xumi and Liyue. If he could help at this time, it would be very beneficial for the subsequent conversation.

When Zhongli went to Jingshan Palace, Elhaisen and his companions successfully rescued Ying from the prison. Seeing the solemn faces of Elhaisen and the other two, and after Ying said that the little auspicious grass king had woken up a long time ago, the faces of Elhaisen and the other two looked a little better, but only a little better.

But before the better look could last, after arriving inside the Church Order Institute, the faces of the three turned ugly again. However, the difference from before was that this time there was also Ying.

"Ah! What happened? Are all these people dead???"

Paimon, who was following behind Ying, found that Ying and the others suddenly stopped moving. She curiously flew over to Ying's head and took a look. This look frightened Paimon so much that she almost fainted. At this time, inside the Order Institute, the students who were still talking when the few people just started to implement the plan, some scholars who were teaching students, and even some senior officials of the Order Institute, were now all lying on the ground in all directions.

"No, they are probably not dead. They have lost consciousness and passed out. However, these people are not in good condition now."

Elhaisen, who was the first to calm down, checked the people who collapsed on the ground. He found that all of them had expressions of pain on their faces, which made Elhaisen's eyes more serious.

"How could this happen? They were fine just now."

Hearing Elhaisen say that these people were still alive, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel confused about their current state, because according to Elhaisen's previous speculation, no matter how cruel the great sage was, he should not attack the scholars of the Academy of the Decree. After all, the scholars of the Academy of the Decree were all his men.

"I don't know why, but it is very likely related to those Fatui. Look at the hat on this man's head."

When Elhaisen was checking whether there was anyone conscious among the unconscious people, he unexpectedly found a person who made him feel that something must have happened to the great sage. After hearing what Elhaisen said, everyone looked at the person that Elhaisen was pointing at.

Although the clothes on that person were no different, the medal on the hat he wore made everyone feel that something serious was going on, because the medal suddenly had a starry sky and an elephant on it, which was exactly the logo of the academy to which the Minglun School belonged.

Elhaisen and his companions all knew that the Minglun Sect was a religious sect ruled by the Great Sage. Even if the Great Sage wanted to use the scholars of the Court of Ordinances for experiments, he would certainly not take risks with scholars of his own sect, because the Minglun Sect were all fanatical followers of the Great Sage. Under normal circumstances, the Great Sage would not use such followers as experimental subjects no matter how he thought about it.

"Is this great sage crazy?"

Dixia murmured in a low voice. In their mercenary world, the uneducated mercenary bosses knew that trusted subordinates should not be sent to perform dangerous missions. How come this great sage was not even as good as the uneducated mercenary bosses?

"Since this has happened, everything is possible. Let's go and meet the Great Sage himself and we'll know everything."

Since the plan had gone astray, Elhaisen decided not to follow it anymore. He wanted to see what the Fatui had done to the Great Sage that would cause him to attack the Minglun faction.
