Original God, but the real world

Chapter 210 209-Conversation
Nashida was thinking about something, so Jiang Qing remained silent and did not disturb her.

Although it is unknown how He verified a question, there is no doubt that Nashida did know about the pollution that Lannaro was suppressing.

And Lannaro certainly couldn't keep suppressing it any longer.

If He could verify Jiang Qing's words, He would know that the trouble has always existed.

So Xumi faced two problems.

To the outside world, it is the non-existent threat of war brought by Jiang Qing.

Internally, there is the issue of the earth veins being suppressed by Lannaro.

In the eyes of the Council of Church Orders, these two problems are actually the same problem, both of which are troubles caused by insufficient strength.

If they could create the God of Righteousness, all the remaining problems would be solved.

But Nashida didn't think so.

He did not believe that the God of Righteousness had the ability to resolve the war threats facing Xumi. Whether it was Barbatos or Baalzebub, or even the secretly watching Morax, these enemies were not something a newborn god could handle.

Nashida herself is a young god, although she is not exactly the same as the Skirmisher.

As a clean branch on the World Tree, Nashida's ability core is of extremely high quality.

But no matter how high its quality is, it cannot change its essence of being just a branch.

He has grown for five hundred years, but is actually still in its infancy and needs to continue growing.

But the God of Righteousness is different. He was designed from the beginning to adapt to and exert the power of God's Heart.

All armor and technology from beginning to end are designed to guide the power of the Heart of God and are based on the Heart of God to learn how to exert this power.

This also means that the upper limit of the God of Righteousness is very clear.

The research of the sages has just reached the stage of [guiding the energy inside the Heart of God]. If they want to go a step further and [amplify the energy inside the Heart of God], it will probably take ten years of research.

Before amplifying the energy, the Heart of God determines what kind of attack the God of Righteousness can release.

But at this level, Nashida didn't believe that scattered soldiers could win.

In other words, they cannot resolve the threat of external war.

At the same time, Jiang Qing provided Nashida with a second piece of troublesome news. Also within Sumeru, Lannaro was facing a geomantic problem that they could not solve by themselves and needed help from external forces.

But the only force that Xumi can mobilize right now is the Institute of Teachings.

Problems that Lannaro cannot face alone naturally require the intervention of the Congregation of the Church.

But Lannaro obviously did not trust the Apostolic House.

These followers of the grass god will only appear in front of children and chosen people. They have the ability to show up on their own initiative, but they often just avoid people.

This shows what their attitude is towards the Sumeru people.

Of course, Nashida can guarantee for the House of Wisdom. The guarantee of a god of wisdom and the imminent threat are enough to make these Lannaros let down their guard and choose to cooperate with the House of Wisdom.

Sincere cooperation... Will the House of the Decrees really cooperate sincerely with Lannaro?
Narcida remained skeptical.

Of course, He wanted to solve the problem, but He did not want the cost of solving the problem to be borne entirely by the followers of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

So there are two more paths.

"I need external intervention, either to directly participate in solving Lannaro's leyline problem on my behalf, or to supervise the actions of the Order to ensure that they will not have any intentions towards Lannaro during the cooperation."

Either kick the Order out and find someone you can trust to work with Lannaro.

Or find someone to supervise the House of Representatives to ensure that they are really just cooperating.

"Finding a solution to a problem is often not complicated. What is complicated is how to act according to the solution." Jiang Qing certainly would not reject the idea of ​​his own god.

But as a loyal believer, he always has to state his troubles to avoid making up for them in the future.

"But you have no manpower, Your Majesty."

His voice was regretful but not sarcastic.

"To be honest, you can't even drive the people of the House of Lords."

"If you choose to guarantee the Order and let them cooperate with Lannaro, I guess they will regard Lannaro as your sincerity in cooperation."

"Because even if gods want to control mortals, they need something."

The normal bargaining chip of a god could be, you obey my orders, and in return, I will make your life yours.

Although the method of using other people's lives to make them work is a bit violent and bad, it is very effective.

It's enough to be useful.

But Nashida did not have the deterrent power to make the sages of the Decree House obey such customary rules.

So if you want to drive them, you need benefits.

Is it good for everyone to solve the problem of the earth veins?

No, no, no, this little profit is not enough.

Therefore, in normal cooperation, the other party involved in the cooperation, the Lannaros, naturally became the second type of benefit that the House of the Decrees longed for.

Nashida knew this all too well, so she hesitated.

The problem needs to be solved urgently.

He nodded in agreement, which meant betraying Lannaro.

He disagrees... If he disagrees, the House of the Decrees will definitely not do this job. They think that others are gamblers, but in fact they are no worse than them.

Unless it is a critical moment, they will always feel that there is enough time to wait for the completion of the deification project.

"They do still have time." Jiang Qing looked serious.

He couldn't bear to see his god in such a predicament, wanting to do something but being unable to do anything.

So he kindly helped Nashida let go of the first problem.

"It will take a long time for the earth vein problem to explode. During this period of time, it will be enough to support the completion of the God-making Project."

"Once they have the gods, they can naturally help Lannaro solve the problem."

Nashida looked at Jiang Qing deeply.

If you leave the problems to the future and think that if you prepare more on your side, future problems will be solved easily.

That would be equivalent to leaving the problem to fate.

You are fully prepared, but does that mean the other party will remain unchanged?

The ownership of the gods is still unclear. Even if the Decree House seizes the ownership of the gods, they are just using the power of the gods to plunder Lannaro again.

So the problem is back to the beginning. Even if we do nothing, Lannaro will have to pay the price in the end.

"I need to leave here." Nashida said her request for the first time, "Can you take me away?"

In fact, even if He left, He would still be powerless.

It has been described many times that when one's own strength is not enough to solve the problem, even the god of Xumi cannot change the current situation of Xumi.

The only forces of note here are the House of the Decrees, the Gilded Brigade in the desert, and Lannaro.

The Order of the Immaculate Conception will not let him go. The Gilded Brigade and the Order of the Immaculate Conception have reached a cooperation, and Lannaro cannot protect himself.

Nashida's only hope lies in the Gilded Brigade. No one can say whether those mercenaries will believe in the God of Grass, but they certainly will not believe in the House of the Decrees.

Jiang Qing was speechless.

Even without observing, he knew that the surrounding surveillance systems were already keeping an eye on him.

Behind the monitoring system, someone was already frowning, preparing to call for his other allies.

"No, no, no, I can't do that." Jiang Qing bowed slightly, expressing his apology for being powerless to meet the god's request. "You have to stay here. I will bring all the bad news and provide them for you to taste one by one."

Take Narcida away?
Of course it is possible.

After all, the device was designed for meditation, not imprisonment.

Just break the device and take Him away, it's not difficult to do.

But that makes no sense.

The only purpose of Jiang Qing's cooperation with the Ministry of Education is to let Nashida continue to be exposed to these bad news and repeatedly taste her own powerlessness.

People will resent themselves and others when they are powerless.

The so-called others include people like Jiang Qing who can help but don’t, and people like the Educational Office who create trouble.

Based on Jiang Qing's experience, in situations like Nashida's where she is repeatedly helpless, the person involved will resent the person who could help but didn't, rather than the person who directly caused the trouble.

Very strange idea.

Because they desperately want to change the whole bad story, but the people who directly caused the tragedy will definitely not help, so they place their hopes on those who can help.

If you exert hope but don't get it in return, you will naturally become more angry.

But this should be the norm for mortals. If Nashida also has this mentality, Jiang Qing will be very happy.

It doesn’t matter how He reacts. I’m just afraid that He won’t react at all, which would be really troublesome.

Nacida was silent.

The sage who had hurried over from behind to eavesdrop also fell silent.

What kind of perverted behavior is this?
"This is a very long process. I have to be honest. The only requirement for me to cooperate with the sages is to let you know that the outside world is getting worse and worse, and you can't do anything about it."

Jiang Qing was quite frank.

Of course he couldn't ask for more.

The sages cooperated with him, firstly because they hoped he would fight against the Fatui and buy time for themselves, and secondly to appease Jiang Qing and prevent him from reporting him to the gods immediately.

This kind of cooperation is very limited because they just need Jiang Qing to behave himself.

The limited effort in cooperation means very little in return.

Jiang Qing cannot ask for more power because he doesn't deserve it.

Unless he used force to change the entire story, but that would only bring the greatest hostility from the sages.

He didn't want to become an adversary of the Order of the Church yet.

"I understand, but what good does it do you to just keep tasting me powerless?"

The young but worldly-wise god was very confused.

He is not angry.

Because Jiang Qing had no need to help Him.

The sages of the Court of the Lords are still residing in Mount Sumeru, and He is nominally the God of Mount Sumeru.

But what about Jiang Qing?

He was a foreigner, and neither he nor the Great Compassionate Tree King had ever done any favors for others, so naturally they could not expect the other party to make any sacrifices for them.

A person does not have to help himself, Nashida knew this very early.

So even if Jiang Qingming expressed his thoughts, He was not angry.

It's just a repetition of past experiences.

But even thinking so, the little god couldn't help but close his eyes.

His left hand hung naturally, overlapping with his right hand behind his back.

It seemed as if He had unnecessary trust in a believer from a foreign country.

"It must be beneficial." Jiang Qing said everything he knew, "I said, I believe in the glory of the God of Wisdom."

"But this light doesn't shine on me alone, does it?"

Nashida tilted her head, not understanding what Jiang Qing meant.

However, Hazard on the other side of the camera had already revealed a sneering expression.

No wonder...he is really a madman.

He gave up his trust in a true god and wanted to use his personal beliefs to bind a new god.

Who does he think he is?
"In the entire Xumi, there are not many people who believe in you, and there are even fewer people who can do something for you." Jiang Qing stretched out his hand toward the god on high. "If I am the only one who can do something for you, then should you respond to me with more?"

"Of course." Nashida agreed with this logic.

"So, on this basis, if I am the only one who believes in you, then should you be considered my God?"

He did not answer directly. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "If you came here with such a goal, it is indeed your style."

"But this conflicts with Azar's goal. If the God of Righteousness succeeds, the most important thing he needs to do is my death."

The Ministry of Education has come to this point, and they will be restless if they don’t deal with the previous God of Sumeru.

If we don't kill a god who has been betrayed and abandoned by people, are we going to just sit back and watch him continue to grow, and then return to Xumi in the future to give a couple of punches to the later Xumi people and the Bang Bang of the Church?
"If you express your stance now, Azar will only be more wary of you... Is a dead god also what you need?"

When talking about her possible fate, Nashida showed no pain or struggle, as if she was describing the death of someone else.

"No, I need a living god of wisdom that belongs to me."

Jiang Qing's tone was respectful, but his words carried a clear blasphemous meaning.

"Besides, you misunderstood Hazard, and you probably misunderstood me, too."

“That’s not a very friendly thing to say.”

“But that’s the way it is with some terrible things.”

Jiang Qing replied.

He certainly wouldn't worry that Hazard would know his thoughts and want to kick him out.

This is neither realistic nor necessary.

"I am the god of the Sumeru people..." Nashida still insisted on this statement.

"But the people of Xumi don't think so." Jiang Qing answered on behalf of others.

"The House of the Decrees cannot represent everyone." Nashida shook her head.

"The House of Fatwas can guide the majority, and the majority will oppress the minority, so everyone will think the same way."

He talked with Nashida and used his own ideas to thwart the ideas of the young god in front of him.

But Jiang Qing did not expect to win.

He and Nashida were both very clear that this was not even a clarion call before a war, it could only be said that each side was further understanding each other's ideas.

They are all looking forward to Hazard's performance.

That's why Nashida sighed.

Jiang Qing really did not hide anything. When he was asked, he told it in front of Azar.

This level of frankness is tantamount to pointing directly at Azar's nose and saying, "Can you please do something bad sooner so that my God will give up the idea of ​​saving you?"

Fortunately, Jiang Qing believes that Hazard will not let him down.

So what can we do even if we know?

He had already embarked on this path, and even if he wanted to turn back, the five wise men who were traveling with him would pull at his sleeves.

The great sage Azar must walk this path.

The only way for him to turn back and change is his own death.

But Hazard doesn't want to die yet.

He was already a great sage, enjoying the highest things in all of Sumeru, and now he was about to accomplish a great cause unprecedented in history, so he didn't want to die even more.

Nashida did not ask.

He got the answer he wanted and understood what Jiang Qing wanted to do. However, since he was unable to break free of the restraints on his own and had no one to turn to, he accepted the status quo.

Few people can face impending danger so calmly, even if they know there is nothing they can do.

But Nashida can.

"If you order me to do so, I can take you away." Jiang Qing bowed slightly, "I am a believer in God and should obey God's orders."

"But I remember I asked you for this just now." Nashida was silent for a moment.

In fact, even if He left, He was not sure how much He could accomplish.

Presumably, the people in the House of Religion would be like hyenas and destroy everything He wants to do.

Even if Nashida said that I have no hatred towards the House of Decrees, such words would probably be just a joke in the ears of the sages.

What's more, it's not like He really doesn't have any anger at all.

"If you ask me to do this, I can't do it." Jiang Qing's tone was matter-of-fact, "If you order me to do this, I won't refuse."

A request can be seen as a precursor to a transaction.

The most basic characteristic of a transaction is mutual benefit.

Of course, if in the subsequent execution process, you can make the trading partner lose all his money, that is also your ability.

But at least before the transaction begins, both parties must reach a consensus so that everyone can make money.

Jiang Qing had no money to make, so he refused.

The commands are different.

God gives orders to believers, and believers cannot and will not refuse.

Nashida understood the meaning of Jiang Qing's words, but she was not sure what Jiang Qing was thinking.

This idea is quite... difficult to understand.

You don't accept cooperation and transactions, you like to follow orders?
Hazard's heart skipped a beat as he was about to leave.

Are you crazy?
Allowing Jiang Qing to contact Nashida was the bargaining chip he agreed to with Jiang Qing.

This is certainly a very risky choice, but Nashida is imprisoned deep in the Jingshan Palace. If he can take Nashida away from here, it actually makes no difference whether he allows contact with her or not.

Although he was very suspicious of Jiang Qing's mental state, the current situation seemed to be going astray.

He wouldn't really give such an order, would he?

"You should leave first." Nashida shook her head. "Even if you take me away, I don't know what to do for the time being."

Jiang Qing was willing to tell Him everything He should know. In the plot line, He found the problem and solved it.

Jiang Qing helped Him skip the first step, leaving only the problem-solving step.

That’s the problem, He can’t solve it.

Even if He escaped from here, it could only be said that His own problems might have been solved.

But for a god, saving his own life is hardly a victory.

What He needed was a clearer victory.

"I understand." Jiang Qing certainly wouldn't refuse.
