Original God, but the real world

Chapter 198: 197-The Destined Hero

The desert is barren.

"Thousands of years ago, there were three gods in Xumi."

"The Flower God, the Scarlet King, and the Great Kindness Tree King, who is most revered by the people of Xumi."

The war between demons and gods ended two thousand years ago. In other words, in the era when three gods coexisted, the Great Compassionate Tree King had ascended to godhood and became the God of Grass.

The flower god is not a demon at all, but a [fairy] who cannot return home.

And this Red King is actually a demon god in the wild.

“The Scarlet King did not obtain a seat in the Seven Rulings, but he was not killed by the Great Compassionate Tree King either.

"Of course, nominally, since he is a subject of Xumi, the Red King should also be considered as a dependent of the Great Compassion Tree King. However, he probably did not offer his faith to the Tree King, just like Orobas and the God of Thunder in the early days."

Jiang Qing is telling a story to the little girl.

This matter is not complicated to explain. Because Ying's spiritual perception is too high, she will fall into coma on the spot if stimulated by the fragrance of spiritual phenol.

Out of his instinct as a ranger and out of superficial respect for the foreign envoy, Tinari planned to help Ying with some treatment and at the same time buy some time for the Court of Ecclesiastical Deputies.

For a moment, Tinari thought about whether he should try to make Ying sick longer, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.

He didn't know if this amount of time would be enough for the Teaching Court to come up with a solution, but what if?
For the time being, that was all Tinari could do.

Jiang Qing was free anyway, so he was waiting for the Educational Institute to perform.

He and Ying suffered from the fact that, although they seemed to have a strong background, in fact, they had no support at all.

Once you arrive in another country, what you hear and see will be restricted.

Just look at Ying and you will know. This hero who has repeatedly solved the final problem and defeated various BOSSes only needs one version to solve the problem, but it takes four versions to find out who caused the problem and what kind of problem it is.

Jiang Qing was also helpless.

Before Sumi, his worst situation was when he joined the rebels in Inazuma, but the rebels had the god-like man, Coral Palace Shinkai, who led the troops and manpower of an island and fought back and forth with the shogunate that had ruled Inazuma for a thousand years.

It is true that the shogunate let her go, and it is also true that she is a good fighter.

Jiang Qing hoped that she could invite Ying Si's family, and she would be able to do so.

Jiang Qing hopes that she can come to the Kamisato family and she can help.

Now... the version has been updated, and his most painful environment has become Xumi, where there is no local person around who can be used.

He could only wait for the Council of the Church to make some big news, then break up the Council of the Church's actions and launch a passive counterattack.

Fortunately, this is not difficult, because the House of Lords should be very anxious.

Being anxious will lead to mistakes. When they were anxious, Jiang Qing's chance came.

When I have nothing to do, I can only tell stories to little Kelai.

"And a thousand years ago, the Flower God disappeared into history, and with him came the death of the Scarlet King."

"In the legends of the desert people, the Red King was the leader of the desert people. The Great Compassion Tree King assassinated the Red King in a time of chaos. Immediately afterwards, the lives of the Red King's people fell into a slump."

"After losing the gods, the desert land fell into chaos. The desert people finally gathered together to establish [Aru Village], which was the only hope for the desert land in the past."

The true answer to the whole story is that the Red King brought in the [forbidden knowledge] from outside the world, and then completely disrupted the desert, and almost sent all the people who depended on the Red King to start over.

The Great Kind Tree King in the rainforest sensed the trouble in the desert and took the initiative to build an altar to expel the pollution brought by the forbidden knowledge.

The final ending ended with the Red King's suicide, and the Great Tree King also overdrawn his own power, changing from the form of a big sister to the current form of the Little Grass King - so does this mean that the Little Grass King also has a promising future?

People are always so absurd in the records of history.

The last time I heard such a description was when Morax assassinated Heulia, the goddess of salt.

In fact, it is hard to say how powerful the Great Compassion Tree King is, but he must be special enough.

The demon god whose consciousness is directly connected to the world tree... Conventional descriptions of the world tree often describe it as supporting the world. Once it withers and is injured, the world will have to pay the price.

Once there is a problem with the World Tree, the world will be doomed.

The World Tree in Teyvat is obviously heading in the same direction.

The demon god with such a background went to the Great Mercy Tree King to compete for the position of the God of Grass. It was the God of Grass who took the initiative to find him.

There should be many demon gods who use the elemental power of grass, but when other gods ascend to the throne of the God of Grass and let the Great Mercy Tree King stand aside, this throne seems fake.

Only the Tree King can bear this crown. If anyone else wears the crown without him, it will only lower the value of the crown.

People don't understand the greatness of the Great Compassionate Tree King, so they make this kind of joke.

Cole rested his chin on his hands, looking serious.

Listening to stories has always been her hobby, which originated from a special experience in her childhood.

Young Cole was infected with the demonic scale disease. Her parents believed what others said and sent Cole to the Fatui for treatment.

The doctor was certainly very good at it. After his treatment, Cole no longer had to worry about the invasion of magic scale disease for a long time.

His methods obviously left a lifelong trauma on the little girl, so much so that she later attempted to assassinate the Fatui in Mondstadt. When hatred reaches a certain level, the death of one party can often only be used to declare the end.

Little Cole was finally moved by Amber, let go of his hatred, and followed Seno back to Xumi to start a new life.

The little angel is indeed omnipotent.

Seno brought Kelai back to Xumi and asked Tinari to teach her.

As a result, Cole didn't even know a few words at that time, so Tinari could only use storybooks as tutoring materials.

The story is written for children. They only need to know a few words and follow the pictures to understand the general plot, and then understand the meaning of a certain word.

"And then what?" Paimon stamped his feet curiously, "The historical version is different from the real version, right?"

Ke Lai also looked at Jiang Qing, waiting for his answer.

"Of course." Jiang Qing was calm, "But this story is a long one."

And it's not suitable for children to listen to.

Because this story is too real, it is neither fantasy nor fairy tale, and is not friendly to children.

"Then just keep it short."

Paimon grasped the key.

Jiang Qing put his hands over his face, looking somewhat helpless. For a moment he didn't know who he was telling the story to.

"There is a new thing that needs to be introduced here, and it is not convenient for us to describe it."

There is nothing wrong with talking about this.

Cole's sense of identification with the Decree House is close to zero. If it weren't for Tinari, to be honest, Amber's letter alone might have been enough to persuade her to rebel.

"This is something that, if known, will bring trouble."

[Taboo Knowledge], something that has a bit of a restraining flavor.

Once you know it, it will become an anchor, permanently polluting the entire world.

In Teyvat's worldview, even death cannot end this intrusion.

Because the death of a living being will flow back to the World Tree, his memory, his cognition... everything will return to the World Tree.

In this case, their death does not cause the knowledge to disappear, but it is simply transferred to the World Tree.

The Great Compassionate Tree King used the [Void] to collect the dreams of the people of Xumi, causing all the adults of Xumi to lose the ability to dream, in order to dispel the pollution of [Forbidden Knowledge].

He dispersed all records, yet He retained the knowledge within His own mind.

Even for the Great Compassionate Tree King, facing this kind of pollution, the only solution is to [make the world completely forget me].

By erasing his own existence and making everyone forget the existence of the Great Compassionate Tree King, he can disappear with this knowledge that cannot be understood, thereby alleviating the damage and saving the World Tree.

Paimon and Cole snuggled together, the two little guys hugged each other and gained an extraordinary sense of security.

"Just knowing it will bring trouble?"

Cole still couldn't quite understand, but Paimon hugged her too tightly and she couldn't push him away, so she could only hug him.

"For example, I now have the blueprint for a new type of wind wing. Not only can the new type of wind wing do everything the old type of wind wing does, it can even give people the ability to fly like a bird."

"So, do you think this knowledge is useful?"

Cole nodded without hesitation.

Because Amber likes flying on wind wings, Cole has also studied this skill seriously, and she has done well in it, becoming the [Sumeru Flying Champion], the same talent as Amber.

Precisely because I learned it so well, I could clearly see how exaggerated the new type of wind wings described by Jiang Qing were.

Wind Wings flying is gliding, which is different from flying.

"So, all the current Wind Wings made by everyone can actually be considered old-style Wind Wings. They just improved the appearance, but the actual performance is no different."

This thing is also a black technology. As long as it moves from a high place to a low place, it can glide in any way.

"If I come up with the new wind wings I just described, what are those who used to make the old wind wings going to do?"

Jiang Qing asked a question.

"As a guest, you would certainly prefer this new type of wind wings that allow you to fly almost freely, right?"

"So, what do those who carry on the old Wind Wings knowledge think of me?"

Cole can accept bad fairy tales because, in terms of experience, her own life is like that.

Demonic scale disease is a kind of destined death. Since the departure of the Great Compassionate Tree King, many people in Xumi have been infected with the Demonic scale disease in the past five hundred years.

In the end, people just recorded their helplessness in the face of the demon scale disease.

Five hundred years of trying, only to find nothing could be done.

This is a destined death. Once infected with this devil scale disease whose cause is unknown and no one knows how it was contracted, life is coming to an end.

"They will think about cooperating with you." Cole said softly.

"Well, that's a good development. What if I refuse their cooperation? Do you have any worse ideas?" Jiang Qing asked with interest.

Cooperation, or to be more precise, acquisition.

Wings of Wind is a characteristic question in Teyvat. If Jiang Qing used his usual tone, he would be talking about weapons or medicine.

The generational upgrades of these two things are what can really drive people crazy.

But Wind Wing is just a representative, Cole should understand what he means.

This is a fairy tale princess, but it is not a traditional fairy tale. She can hear dark stories.

"It might kill you?" Cole's voice lowered.

It's not that he is ignorant of the world.

It seems that it is indeed difficult to be kind and stupid at the same time. Someone who can be both stupid and kind at the same time must at least have a perfect background.

If your family background is not strong, it is easy to be stupid, but it is difficult to be stupid and do good at the same time.

However, people who come from a good family and have this kind of family education are generally unlikely to be stupid.

"So, where am I wrong? Where is this knowledge wrong?"

Jiang Qing smiled.

This answer is very real.

"My mistake was that I wanted to be the only one who could eat alone, but I didn't have the ability to do so." Jiang Qing gave his own answer, "My mistake was that my product completely kicked similar products into the sewer. If I don't die, they will have no future."

The mistake is that you are alive and the other person has no future.

Unless they give up this business directly, the first option is to take your technology in their hands, and the second option is to let you take your technology with you.

The normal way of thinking is that since the trouble is caused by lagging behind, then try to catch up.

Those who have tried it know very well that it is so difficult to catch up in technological breakthroughs that it is better to consider directly obtaining the technology from the other party.

If you really can't get it, let the technology sink in and pretend nothing happened. It's also good for everyone to continue using the current technology.

Paimon sighed helplessly, "Can't you think of something positive?"

Jiang Qing spread his hands.

"The knowledge I described is such a thing. It is even crazier than the new wind wings crushing the old wind wings."

"It can... enable humans to defeat gods."

Cole's shoulders tensed, and then he looked at Jiang Qing suspiciously.

"You're not lying again, are you?"

"I didn't lie." Jiang Qing said innocently, "I just described a possibility at the time. You just thought too much."

Cole tilted his head.

So, could it be that Master Tinari is also thinking too much?

She was silent for a moment and did not ask any questions.

"If it is the knowledge of humans defeating gods, although I cannot imagine it, it is indeed very precious."

Cole said softly.

The extent to which something should be done depends on the interests involved, the power of the technology owners, the interests that will be harmed, and the power of the capital parties whose interests will be harmed.

Simply put, behind the technology is a struggle for interests.

If your technology harms an already established market, the people who set the rules of the competition will immediately join forces to invite you to join.

Including recruiting or cooperation, cooperation is often the last choice, because cooperation gives too much profit, while acquisition will give less profit.

Or kick you out and prevent you from ever entering again.

And if you’re opening up a whole new field where no one’s dividing the pie yet… that’s even better.

It is a new world that no one has ever entered, and your technology is the only ticket. In other words, your technology is the only key to open the door to a new world.

This world can be yours, but we should have the final say in this world.

If the new wind wing can throw all the merchants engaged in the wind wing manufacturing industry into the trash can, because of the huge interests involved, the developers must give up the technology, or simply let the technology die and stop, so that the old technology can still play a role.

Then the value of this knowledge that can defeat gods is beyond measure.

Teyvat is the Teyvat of the gods, and the Seven Kingdoms of the Midgard are the Seven Kingdoms of the gods.

No one has ever questioned this truth because there is no need to question it.

Every country has records from the Demon War period, and the fall of Kanreya is no secret.

There was real reason why Kanriya was destroyed, because the black disaster they caused brought huge trouble to the seven countries.

No one would think that this godless country should not be destroyed.

The Black Plague killed too many people, and the origin of the Black Plague was Kanreya.

But when these advanced life forms arrived together and destroyed a kingdom composed mainly of humans, even if you felt that Kanreya should be destroyed...don't you have any sadness at all?
Kanreya should be destroyed, but not in this way, where the gods arrive and everyone dies.

This is a shock and deterrent to any of the seven nations whose main body consists of human beings.

The gods have protected the seven kingdoms of the mortal world for a thousand years. During these thousand years, they have always known very clearly that the gods are completely different life forms from them.

But what does that matter?

They are the gods who protect us, aren't they?

But this time, a war to annihilate a country openly made everyone shudder.

Because the subject had changed, it was the Kingdom of Kanreya that suffered the disaster this time.

The main body of the kingdom is still human beings.

Sometimes we feel sympathy for the tragic endings of our peers, not because they themselves deserve sympathy, but because they are human beings. It is sympathy for the fate of humanity as a whole.

It's like, you see two evil guys being torn apart by a hungry tiger, of course you still think they deserve to die, and you may even think their death is gratifying, but this does not prevent you from being wary, fearful, or even angry enough to want to kill the murderous tiger.

The gods are far more than a hungry tiger and have shown favor to humans for countless years.

But as a non-human god, when he crushed a human kingdom, leaving only a few cats and dogs in the entire kingdom, it was inevitable that other people would have extra thoughts.

The gods can bless your Chang'an with joy, or they can make the entire country disappear into history without leaving any trace.

Fear, vigilance...all negative emotions turned into admiration and worship after the clear realization that one is powerless.

People try to use faith to bind gods and make them always show their gentle and kind side to them.

But everyone knows very well that God loves the world without reason.

For thousands of years, humans have never given back to the gods anything that the gods need.

For thousands of years, mankind has only enjoyed the gifts and mercy of God.

This kind of mercy and care that is completely without any benefit and is purely out of God’s love for the world will naturally make people worry - He can build without reason, and naturally He can also destroy without reason.

Seriously speaking, when anyone faces Wendy's ridiculous situation, their first reaction would be that this bastard is acting, right?

They believe that God is a wise and kind God. If not, then even if he is a little bit bad, he should be shrewd and calculating.

It’s as if you don’t have to worry about anything and as long as you take a little action, you should be able to solve all problems easily.

The troubles they face are, at the very least, a great task related to world security.

What's going on when you pulled out a drunkard, a retired old man, an autistic homebody, and an autistic little loli?

Is this what God is?

“Knowledge is the bait floating on the surface of the sea of ​​ignorance. When people think they are fishing for knowledge, the giant beast lurking under the ocean is actually celebrating that his bait has brought him fish.”

The catch...Who cast the net?
Jiang Qing didn't think much about it, but just casually explained, "If humans have the power to fight gods, then Teyvat will fall into deeper trouble."

Cole thought for a moment, "But it won't work without power, right?"

This is the cognition she developed from her childhood experiences, and objectively speaking, it is very correct.

"You're fooling the little girl again. This is actually very unreasonable." Ying snorted, "If you only put down your sword and show your harmlessness as the only means to maintain peace, this kind of peace itself has no value."

This is the same logic as giving up one's own martial arts to tell others that I am not a threat, so you can trust me.

Only when a person's head or some part of the body is seriously injured, or all of it is injured, a normal person cannot do it.

It's easy to explain that the brain is broken, but the body is injured, which means there is no way to resist it anyway, so the only thing to do is to fight.

Of course, others will not worry about opponents who pose no threat.

But what if the other party has ulterior motives? What if he doesn’t care if you are a threat or not, but just wants to take your things?
It is better not to use means of hurting yourself to prove your sincerity.

"Just saying it casually." Jiang Qing didn't take it seriously, "But what the Ministry of Education is doing has already proved this point."

"The sages imprisoned the little auspicious grass king. For five hundred years, the sages of all generations have made this choice. None of the six sages have ever thought of changing it."

A single sage might have had this thought, but the six sages as a group obviously did not have the idea of ​​releasing the little auspicious grass king.

"Ah!" Kelai exclaimed, and the girl's eyes blinked rapidly, "Is this something I can know?"

"I understand, but I will tell Master Tinari..."

"If Tinari finds out, I'll go back to Meng...then you know." Jiang Qing originally wanted to tease him, but he stopped himself from saying that.

Since the other party takes Amber so seriously, it's okay once, but it would be boring to make fun of her twice in places that the other party would not take as a joke.

If it's a joke, it should be in a way that the other party can take it as a joke.

If you know that the other person won't laugh, then it's not a joke but a mockery.

"The direction is a bit off. It's not that humans have the power to defeat the gods, but that the gods themselves have weakened to the point where humans can imprison them."

“But the result is the same.”

Jiang Qing said with a smile, "The Teaching Court immediately demonstrated its extraordinary capabilities and imprisoned the Little Auspicious Grass King for five hundred years."

I searched for God, but found that He was weak. I raised the blade of rebellion to the sky. You are not worthy of being a God. I am the only one who is missing.

The entire process was completed in one go, and he can be called a hero among heroes - if this god was not a little girl, if the Little Grass King was not the reincarnation of the Great Compassionate Tree King, then he would be a true hero.

To do such a thing to the little auspicious grass king left behind by the great tree king who sacrificed himself voluntarily...

Cole blinked, not knowing for a moment where to start asking.

She actually believed it.

Not only because Jiang Qing had made a special and serious apology after the last bad joke, but also because of the storytelling he had been doing during this period.

More importantly, the little auspicious grass king really hasn’t appeared for five hundred years.

Ke Lai didn't care about these things. It was really difficult for her to remember any information about the little auspicious grass king.

This little girl who lives in Daochenglin only wants to do well in the things around her, and she doesn't care about things that are a little far away.

Except Amber.

But this stuff is not that hard to look up, for example...

Using the void to do a quick investigation, when was the last time the Ordinance House held a sacrificial ceremony for the gods... Oh, when the Great Compassionate Tree King was still alive.

So everything is clear now.

Ying, who was listening in, leaned on the bed with both hands, and her shaky legs stopped moving.

Fishing, bait...

Jiang Qing missed the thing that he should never have missed.

People capture knowledge from the sea of ​​ignorance, and they rejoice in the new knowledge they have gained.

But the masters of this ocean are not humans.

People spread bait and caught greedy sea fish.

So on another level, are there people who spread knowledge and then expect the fish to eat the bait and take away their catch?
[Knowledge] may not have an owner, but the act of spreading knowledge must be done by someone specifically.

Outside the world of Teyvat, someone spread this knowledge to the Red King and to Kanrea.

The people of Chiwang and Kanreya may think that they are lucky and are among the very few who have come into contact with the real person.

But in reality, on the contrary, among the many lives, their obtaining unexpected food is the most unfortunate situation.

When marine fish receive food from humans, the delicacy that falls from the sky often means that they have become food for another predator.

Is anyone fishing?
What was He trying to catch?
"Shhh."

Jiang Qing raised his index finger and smiled peacefully.

Ying pinched her index finger and thumb together, then stroked them along her lips, indicating that she would not say it out loud.

so troublesome.

The girl looked into the distance blankly, her expression gloomy for a moment.

Originally, it was just to deal with attacks thrown by enemies at past time points.

Now we have to consider the bombs thrown by enemies outside the world?

Doesn't Teyvat have any big bosses who can stand on their own now? If this kind of enemy is defeated, everything will be over.

Now she either has to pay for the past troubles, or the enemy is no longer on the same level as her and there is no way to fight back.

Unfortunately not.

According to the events before the sun and the moon, Sky Island can be traced back to the era of the seven dragons and the original Phanes.

It was a thousand years ago that the Red King encountered forbidden knowledge.

Kanriya was the beginning of everything five hundred years ago. She knew nothing at the time. She woke up in a hurry and someone pressed her hand to the ground and rubbed it. When she woke up, it was already now.

The Fatui are also an opponent, but according to Jiang Qing's description, the changes of the Fatui also began with the demise of Kanreya.

So in fact, the troubles that the Fatui are creating now are actually paying the price for the Kanreya disaster five hundred years ago.

No one lives in the present; all the bitterness and hatred that everyone has experienced happened at least five hundred years ago.

Only she, the one who woke up five hundred years later, has to constantly solve the troubles that have grown today from the seeds that sprouted five hundred years ago.

Damn, are you all time assassins?

She shook her head, her eyes unusually gloomy.

"very angry?"

Jiang Qing sat next to Ying.

Cole took Paimon to dinner.

"A little bit." Ying nodded, not hiding anything, "What kind of mess is Teyvat?"

Jiang Qing laughed.

It is not uncommon for later generations to solve problems left by their predecessors.

Just like the previous generations laid the foundation for the later generations, these things are very common.

Ying's unhappiness lies in the fact that she only solves problems for others.

When she woke up, she was about to leave, but then she was stopped, her brother was taken away, and she was sealed.

However, five hundred years later, she had to walk in this world that she had no impression of at the beginning, deal with waves of time assassins, pick up the power she originally possessed, and solve problems one by one.

"The story begins with Inazuma," Jiang Qing explained. "From Inazuma, you gradually face many problems that should be solved by organizations such as the shogunate and the Kyo-ryoin."

"But they didn't do anything, and you were too kind, so you took the trouble for them."

The players are doing it for the original stones, and as for Ying, she can only be kind.

"Does Xumi also have the same trouble as Shenying Dapur?" Ying asked curiously.

"It's longer than that one, but the result is worse." Jiang Qing thought for a while, "You know Yae Shenzi. She looks cynical, but when it comes to actually doing things, she never procrastinates."

"Can you teach me..."

There is not even one person in the Order who can see Lannaro. The Fatui want to capture these followers of the Grass God, and they really dare to let the Fatui act.

"Can I not help?" Ying's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Jiang Qing didn't hesitate, "You don't have to be anyone's hero."

There will always be problems with the ground veins.

And those who create problems are never responsible for solving them.

Jiang Qing had no hesitation in getting a kind person to start thinking about himself.

His ultimate goal this time is to make Xumi really lose the God of Grass.

Since you all don't like the God of Grass, why not give it to the believers of the Little Grass King.

Similarly, God should protect those who believe in Him and love Him, rather than protecting a group of unbelievers.

Perhaps it would be more in line with Jiang Qing's interests for Ying to maintain this stereotyped kindness, but one can pursue interests in everything and there is no need to be so harsh on others.

In short, lust blinds one's mind.

"If the Sea of ​​Knowledge in Teyvat already has an owner, and the owner of the knowledge has no ill will towards the world and humans, then the knowledge from outside the world...what does the owner who spreads it want?"

Ying hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help it.

In the world of Teyvat, the master of knowledge is the World Tree.

The former Great Compassion Tree King and the future Little Auspicious Grass King, their consciousness can be connected to the World Tree, but the doctor's words show that the World Tree will also conceal some truths.

The Great Compassionate Tree King is not the World Tree after all.

But no matter what, the World Tree can't possibly have any ill intentions towards Teyvat.

This world is supported by Him, it doesn’t make sense.

"Don't ask me, I really don't know." Jiang Qing shook his head, "And if I were you, I would definitely not think about it any more."

"We shouldn't waste time on problems that can't be solved." Ying kicked off her shoes, stepped on the edge of the bed, and put her hands together to hug her knees. "I remember what you said."

"Think about it in a positive way. [Forbidden Knowledge] will destroy the World Tree. This is a problem that Sky Island needs to solve. If they can solve it, we don't have to worry." Jiang Qing comforted.

"What if it can't be solved?" Ying subconsciously asked a stupid question.

Jiang Qing answered seriously, "Do you still remember how you were easily sealed by that god?"

"From the perspective of non-fate, I think that if He can't solve the problem, you can't solve it either."

This is the most truthful answer.

If a weapon breaks, even a professional forging master cannot repair it, and its purpose is over.

This is the reasonable answer.

But from the perspective of fate, it doesn't make sense.

Some troubles can only be solved by heroes.

The hero took the trouble that the forger could not solve in his hands, reforged the broken sword and made it more powerful, and then gave the dragon a big sword.

This is... the stage of destiny.

This stage is unreasonable, the goddess of fate is just watching the lucky one.

His favor determines the ending of the story.

Likewise, if the trouble of destroying the world cannot be solved by the more powerful ones, everyone else can just go to bed and face the inevitable death.

But fate will not agree. It will choose a hero, and only the person it chooses can "just happen" to solve the problem.

"I don't want you to be the hero of destiny."

Jiang Qing pulled up the girl's hair by her ears and said, "Because from what I understand, the heroes of Teyvat are unlikely to be very lucky."

Just watch Honkai Impact 3 and you will know.

Being a hero, even if you are No.1, the result will not be good.

If the world really needs heroes, then at the very least, let others try to compete instead of letting Ying face the most difficult troubles directly.

Issues like the earth veins should be left to the locals of Xumi to consider.

If this trouble is not solved quickly, the entire Teyvat will probably be affected... But so what?
But it's something that the people of Xumi themselves don't care about.

There are always heroes in Xumi.

Five hundred years ago it was the Great Kindness Tree King, and five hundred years later it was the Small Auspicious Grass King and Ying.

What if both heroes are gone?

"Everything you do always has to come at a price, right?" Jiang Qing lowered his head and looked at Ying. "Whoever pays the price should bear it. Isn't that unreasonable?"

Ying turned her head away and just nodded slightly.

Very reasonable.
