Original God, but the real world

Chapter 218 217-Returning Home with the Heart of God
Although he was angry that Jiang Qing's words and actions were completely inconsistent, there was nothing he could do. He was not his subordinate, so Tartaglia could only be furious.

After being angry, you still have to face reality.

The reality is that General Lei Dian has already arrived at Xumi.

At this moment, the city of Xumi is no longer under the control of the Fatui, nor is it under the control of the Council of Educators. The only one qualified to make a choice is this god from a foreign country.

"The grudge four hundred years ago led to the choices made by the scattered soldiers later."

"But the general himself admitted that the scattered soldiers took this path, which had something to do with Him."

If it weren't for the rare attribute of being a divine creation, the Doctor and the Harlequin wouldn't have targeted the Skirmisher.

This was the identity that the Sanbing hated the most later on, but it was also the only value of the Sanbing back then.

As mentioned before, the world of Teyvat is actually not friendly.

Looking back at history, this is the history of gods, not the history of mankind.

This is the world of demons, so how can one become a demon, or at least possess demon-level strength?
It depends on your fate.

If you were born one, then you are one.

It wasn’t when you were born... You really don’t have to think too much about it.

Pull out Kujo Sara, the Shogun is killed instantly by the lady at the speed of light, and the lady is held down by the coffin lid by the power of the three elements.

Pull out Ganyu. Ganyu chose to follow Morax three thousand years ago and is still active in Liyue Harbor.

Is her three thousand years of life due to her hard work and dedication?

Maybe, but the bigger reason is his identity as a descendant of Qilin.

Because she has the blood of Qilin, she is able to have such a long life and possess this level of strength.

If she were a mortal, perhaps she would have the chance to be ranked among the seven stars, but she would definitely not be qualified to participate in the vortex of the war between demons and gods.

This is not a game that ordinary people can participate in. They can only be cheerers, spectators, recorders of history, and witnesses of the disaster.

There are four countries now. To be honest, except for the situation in the plot where Jiang Qing can see the Gilded Brigade restricting Ying, if Ying really encounters the Gilded Brigade surrounding and killing her in this environment, Jiang Qing really can't think of how Ying will lose.

This is the case with Ganyu, and Skirmishers are no exception.

Without the identity of being a descendant of Qilin, there is no need to talk about more.

Without the identity of "a puppet made by the God of Thunder", the Skirmisher would not be worthy of the Doctor and the Harlequin's attention.

But this is a false proposition, because without this identity, the scattered soldiers would not exist.

There is no need to make more assumptions, people just need to live in the present moment.

It is hard to say how the Doctor achieved the ascension from a mortal to a god, but the Harlequin probably has something to do with the forbidden knowledge that led to the downfall of Kanria.

The history of Teyvat is the history of demons, and the Doctor and the Harlequin can basically be regarded as examples of mortals becoming gods.

But these two people are definitely not taking the normal path. Apart from Vanessa, no one else has taken the royal path.

However, everyone in Teyvat obviously accepted that this road was real.

The so-called [Original God] was born precisely because of people like Vanessa.

If she had never landed on Sky Island, these people now could only be called "Holders of the Eye of God".

In the case of Sanbing, his tragedy was that his identity attracted the attention of two crazy scientists, so while executing the plan, it brought Sanbing a little bit of [pain of loss], and then Sanbing naturally embarked on this path.

It was precisely because Lei Film created the scattered soldiers but did not give them formal education and care that what happened later happened.

But this is only a "certain" relationship.

From the very beginning, Lei Dianying had no reason to take care of the stragglers.

After all, He just needs a weapon, a puppet to suppress Inazuma.

But the skirmishers do not qualify.

There is no need for a craftsman to apologize for a substandard weapon, even if the weapon has a will of its own.

After the weapon was beaten to a fault, He did not simply bury the failed work in the ground. This was already a kindness from a craftsman.

If we have to say that Lei Dianping did something wrong, it is that as a craftsman, he did not destroy his own failed work.

The actual relationship is more complicated because once emotional factors are taken into account, many things cannot be simply compared.

But Jiang Qing is a staunch authoritarian.

Between Lei Movie and Sanbing, he definitely supports Lei Movie.

Since Lei Dianying was correct, then the choice he made was naturally correct as well.

Not only did he think so, but Tartaglia also agreed with Jiang Qing's statement.

No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing should be the justice of the God of Thunder. Ordinary people or anything else are not qualified to compete with the gods for the banner of justice.

"But the soldier was also at fault, right?" Tartaglia was enlightened. "Although you said that the Doctor and the Harlequin led him down the wrong path, he was the one who committed the murder, right?"

"And Sanbing obviously didn't know about the Doctor's involvement before, so the target of his revenge must be Inazuma."

In order to avenge the Inazuma people, the Inazuma god went after his puppet that had been led onto the wrong path... He's quite a convoluted guy.

But it's understandable.

Tartaglia is not succumbing to power, but he has received orthodox divine education and does agree with this statement.

General Thunder can ignore his people and creation, but not the other way around.

This is not out of reverence for theocracy, but based on the selfless dedication of two generations of Raiden generals to Inazuma since the founding of the country.

People have no way to repay the gods for their efforts, so they must support them when faced with their capriciousness.

Lei Movie is not like Nashida, but a descendant of gods who inherited the legacy of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

He himself is the guarantee that since the founding of the Inazuma nation, it has been able to develop steadily without having to worry about wars and accidents.

With this status, although one should not be willful, one is indeed qualified to be willful.

What's more... "Maybe I just haven't considered what He has considered? After all, He is a God." This kind of thinking is popular among high-level officials in various countries.

Qin would think of Wendy this way, and the Seven Stars and the Immortals are even more representative of the Divine ideology.

If the gods do something absurd, instead of doubting them, their first thought is that I have not considered something that only the gods would consider, and this is my problem, and I should not doubt the gods.

Lord Barbatos/Moracus must have his reasons for doing this.

The same is true for Tartaglia at this moment.

This theory can be applied to any god except Nashida.

Anyway, no one understands the nature of God.

Apart from Yae Kamiko, no one in this world should know about Lei Movie.

Except for Tevarin, no one knew that Barbatos was like this at the beginning.

Because we don’t understand, we can think about God in this way.

Jiang Qing had no idea that Tartaglia had already found a reasonable explanation.

Even if the one who took action was his colleague, he still supported the God of Thunder.

Of course, supporting the God of Thunder's approach only means that he agrees with this truth, but agreeing with a truth does not mean that you will act according to this truth.

After all, he is a die-hard fan of the Queen. As one of the few Solstice people among the Solstice Executives, Tartaglia will only choose options that are valuable to the Queen and Solstice.

He knows the truth, but he doesn't follow reason.

"So, the situation now is that your God finally knows all this, so He wants to take revenge?"

Looks like I have to sell out my teammates... Anyway, the doctor won't die, and the lady shouldn't be guilty of the death penalty either.

It would be enough to leave one of the bodies of the Sniper and the Doctor here for Him to vent His anger.

Tartaglia didn't try to escape.

Baalzebub has already chased him to Xumi. If he continues to chase him to Fontaine or even to Winter Solstice, this matter will become even more difficult to resolve.

It would be better to kill the person who deserves to die quickly to appease His anger.

This is good for everyone.

It is easy and simple, and the loss is small.

Jiang Qing's expression was awkward for a moment.

"In fact, this is not what I need you to do."

Tartaglia was silent for a moment, "Not to vent your anger?"

"He wants to participate in the god-making project, then help San Bing ascend to the throne of god, and finally defeat San Bing who has ascended to godhood in his prime."

Jiang Qing remained calm and suppressed his embarrassment.

Crazy?

Tartaglia swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and said with difficulty: "I see, the Lord of Thunder must have his own ideas for doing this."

The two looked at each other, then turned their eyes away at the same time.

"In other words, you need to send His Majesty the God of Thunder to the team researching the god-making project through the arrangement of the Fatui..."

This is not a serious crime.

It's just a plan to study a puppet's ascension to God. Although your puppet and your God's Heart were used, the scholars and researchers involved in the plan really don't deserve such a crime.

Working with a god, studying his dolls, his divine heart, this is a bit...
"No problem, this is an honor for all those who participate in the God-making Project!"

Anyway, I'm not involved in the research, so you should keep your research spirit in mind, otherwise I will just be left to collect your bodies.

Tartaglia readily agreed.

"Then I'll trouble you, old friend." Jiang Qing sighed, "In fact, the general also had an idea at the last minute, but you know this matter, I definitely can't arrange it perfectly."

"I was originally planning to discuss this matter with the Great Sage, but I happened to meet you. When I thought about how close we are, I naturally gave up on cooperating with Azar."

"It is my honor to be able to help a god fulfill his little interest. It is the fortune of the fools."

The corner of Tartaglia's mouth twitched.

Fortunately, he bumped into him, otherwise if Hazard knew about this, he could predict Hazard's reaction with his knees.

This bastard is probably the same as me. He wants to immediately kneel down and show his goodwill to General Lei Dian... But that's not the way to say it. What do you mean by the same as me?
I am making concessions with good reasons, but this group of people will only beg for peace in a servile manner.

By then, the stance of Xumi's group of sages will change inadvertently.

Originally, it was an alliance between the Fatui and the Sumeru high-level officials, but suddenly it turned into a confrontation between the Fatui and the Sumeru high-level officials. Tartaglia had seen this script before.

This feels so damn familiar.

Jiang Qing said that we are all friends, so of course I will think of you when something good happens.

In fact, he probably doesn't care.

With this kind of cards in hand, you can win no matter who you cooperate with, so naturally you don't have to worry about your partners.

"No problem, just leave this matter to me."

Tartaglia patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just joining the God-making Project as a scholar? This is a project that we, the Fatui, are working on with the Council of the Order. It's easy to assign a researcher to it."

"Then I'll trouble you..." Jiang Qing paused, and his smile deepened. "Oh, by the way, please don't forget to take care of Him. Although the general said that he was only going to participate in the god-making project, I think it's better not to trouble Him with simple things."

"It's my duty." Tartaglia agreed of course.

Lei Dianying was certainly not traded in to receive honors.

Of course, this kind of behavior also exists in Xumi's academic circles.

Although it is not necessary to be proficient in the experiment, it is certainly possible to register to receive honors, and then use the honors as a qualification for promotion to move further up.

There is even a saying here that "Although he is dead, our experiments are gone too", which shows the value of academic achievements to these scholars in an academic society.

There is no need to blame them too much. The environment of Xumi is like this, and this is the situation they have to face since birth.

Just like in Heguan, people later on would certainly criticize things like blood sacrifice, but this is what this group of people are used to.

This was the environment they lived in, and this was also the reason why they were eventually destroyed by the Thunderbirds.

Of course the players think it's natural. Thunderbird likes a child, so you kill him and then use a golden cup to hold the blood as a sacrifice to Thunderbird.

The Thunderbird likes children who can sing, not dead children. Crane looked at so many people, but He only liked that one.

So when He realized the truth, he immediately destroyed Heguan.

This is normal. When something you like is destroyed, it is natural to want revenge.

But from the perspective of the people of Heguan, they were just performing the sacrifices passed down from their ancestors. This was not a provocation to the gods, but rather an act of awe and respect.

But why does respect bring destruction?
They can't understand, and they don't have the chance to understand.

The environment always creates different choices. Some things should be corrected, but there is no need to criticize them.

But Lei Dianying is definitely not the kind of person who joins the scientific research team through a transaction and then receives the honor.

I don't bother Him because there is really no need for Him to do such a small thing.

It's not just because of his identity as a god, but also because, if there really are disciplines like [Puppetry Studies] and [Divine Heart Studies], He himself is the guiding light for these two disciplines.

We don’t look at one’s status, we only look at one’s academic achievements, and there is no such thing as asking a master to assist.

His two creations, one is the present-day upright General Thunder, and the other is the scattered soldier who is on his way to becoming a god.

As for the Heart of God used for the experiment...this is His spoils of war.

In this regard, He is a master of the temple level.

His willingness to join the scholars in their research should be described as condescension rather than acceptance of honor.

Tartaglia couldn't quite understand this approach.

If you want to kill someone, just kill him. It's legal and reasonable anyway, and you just happen to have the identity and ability to do so.

What kind of idea is it to train the other person to become a god and then kill him?
For fairness?

He couldn't understand it, but he was willing to support it.

He has already arrived in Xumi City, and there is nothing we can do without support.

"I knew you would understand me." Jiang Qing patted Tartaglia's shoulder with a smile.

We are all brothers, and we can understand each other.

"Of course, we are friends." Tartaglia was also very friendly and slapped him back hard.

The two men were in a stalemate for a while, and then Tartaglia was the first to give in.

He has a body of iron, but Jiang Qing is like a blacksmith. There is obviously a huge difference in strength between the two.

The strength that I worked so hard to build up has been surpassed again.

Tartaglia was not too distressed, but he secretly gave up the idea of ​​assassinating Jiang Qing.

"If His Majesty the God of Thunder comes to Xumi in person just for this matter, then I can guarantee that everything will go as He wishes."

Tartaglia swore.

"We can't just let the Fatui pay." Jiang Qing waved his hand. "Although the Heart of God was once General Lei Dian's trophy, the deal was completed not long ago, and now the Heart of God belongs to the Fatui."

The ownership of the scattered soldiers is more difficult to say.

He has his own choices and ideas, and no one can decide his ownership.

"No, no, no, it's our honor that Your Majesty is willing to condescend to join the God-building Project." Tartaglia shook his head. "If Your Majesty has to pay something more, the Fatui can't afford it."

Are you so good at talking?

"Anyway, after the experiment is over, you should know the rest." Jiang Qing shook his head. "This is a battle between gods. Although the outcome is hard to determine, if the general wins, please wait a moment. We need to use the Heart of God temporarily."

"Of course, this last Heart of God must have been brought back to Winter by you."

"Please convey the general's greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. We are willing to support the Queen's plan."

Do you know the Queen's plan? But I don't know anything!

This time, Tartaglia was really stunned.

As an executive officer, he actually only knew that the Ice Queen and the Fatui's high-level officials required the collection of the Heart of God.

But to go further, why the Heart of God was collected, that was not something he was qualified to know.

This has nothing to do with loyalty or not.

Being loyal but useless to the plan is worse than not knowing.

"I will bring back the will of His Majesty the God of Thunder. I'm sure Her Majesty the Queen will also be pleased with it." He didn't care about anything else.

In short, being able to return to our homeland with the Heart of God will be considered a victory!
Tartaglia's desire is decreasing.

It was clear that the plan had failed.

You are still doing the experiment, and not only has someone come, they are even planning to join in the experiment.

If we can still win, it would be really weird.

The situation is so bad that it is naturally good enough to be able to keep the important assets.
