Original God, but the real world

Chapter 220 219-God
Therefore, any plan that is specific to an individual usually needs to be constantly adjusted.

As long as one key person in the plan suddenly changes his mind, the entire plan will fail.

Nashida worked with Azar, and finally found that even though she tried to suppress her unhappiness and talk to Azar, it was actually useless.

The core of the problem is not who to cooperate with, but that the situation in Xumi is so bad.

Neither the Fatui nor Baalzebub could refuse either.

Nashida, who finally realized the answer, decisively chose to change.

Whether for the sake of Sumeru or for some other reason, Nashida believed that she had to change.

Azar did not dare to urge Him to change because he did not have the confidence to control a wise god who would do anything to achieve his goal.

But the reality urged Nashida to make changes.

His first reaction at that time was that if the situation had to be so bad, it would be better to contact a certain god through Jiang Qing.

Xumi definitely can't win.

You have to make a choice. It is better to submit completely to one god than to be divided up by three countries.

This is not a collaboration between a customer and three merchants, and the conquered should not have too many thoughts about the conquerors.

But just as He was about to find Jiang Qing, He heard his conversation with Tartaglia, and then discovered something unusual.

Jiang Qing did not try to hide it, and once the abnormality was discovered, his original plan would be ruined.

That's how specific plans are, they're always being revised.

But fortunately, the essence of planning is to gain something, so changes to the plan will not affect the core.

For example, now Jiang Qing is halfway successful.

The remaining half depends on Nashida herself.

He used to be a prisoner, and now Jiang Qing hopes that he will give up climbing to the top and become the god of Xumi and just become a king.

"This is ridiculous, why do you even know such a thing?" Nashida looked confused.

Even though he was not in Jingshan Palace, Jiang Qing could guess that Nashida's expression was full of curiosity.

He had reason to be curious.

The threat of war has been proven to be false, and the only thing to worry about is the fools.

"This question...well, it's about games."

Fortunately, Jiang Qing had already answered this question not long ago, so he had already sorted out how to narrate it.

As expected, although the answer was somewhat unreasonable, Nashida was able to accept it well.

"So, if everything goes well, I should be able to get in touch with the girl named Ying in Jingshan Palace, and then she will save me from captivity and finally solve the problem of the World Tree, right?"

Nashida groaned, "So where is the girl now?"

If you look at Ying's adventures in the plot, you can clearly see what role she played in the arrangement of fate.

Fatalism is a common theme in most myths. The simple explanation is that no matter what you do, fate will always make you arrive at that place at that time to meet your inevitable destiny.

She is a hero on the chessboard, but being a hero does not mean she can transcend the identity of a chess piece.

Heroes are also pawns.

"The chess piece has gone crazy." Jiang Qing was very sure. "If it were normal, she should go to Fontaine after resolving Xumi's troubles, then to Nata, and finally to Zhidong... Maybe there would be other places after Zhidong."

“But she felt that this path had already been arranged. If she played the entire game according to [Him]’s arrangement, she might not be able to go against the chess player’s will in the end.”

The advantage of fatalism is that if fate chooses you to be a hero, even if you commit suicide tonight, tomorrow the gods and fairies will pull you up from the hall of death, and then put you on a charging horse, with swords and armor working together, to slay the evil dragon that is bound to die and become a hero.

The only problem is that it's hard to tell whether it's you or the dragon who's doomed to die.

"Ying felt a lot of abnormalities, which made her uneasy. Because of the uneasiness, she wanted to do something to make herself feel at ease."

The biggest anomaly, of course, was the time when they were intercepted halfway five hundred years ago.

The god who called himself "Sustainer of Heaven's Law" stopped her and her brother, and took Sora away with one hand and sealed her with the other.

This is the biggest problem.

After being captured, he actually traveled around the continent and finally joined a cult with the mission of overthrowing justice. He even had the idea of ​​helping Kanriya restore his country.

Under the abyss, Ying had already seen the communication between Kong and another abyss apostle.

They are still thinking about restoring their country... But as an outsider, why do you want to revive the Kingdom of Kanreya?

Ying, who was awakened in a daze and then sealed cleanly, crawled up again five hundred years later, and later had a mission to travel around the world.

No matter how Ying thinks about it, there is something wrong.

If they can be captured and sealed, then logically speaking, killing them shouldn't be difficult either.

If it is an enemy, and you can kill him but don't, this can reveal the answer.

A smart person like her had already been doubting it since Wendy's suggestion, but this matter was just like Nashida's useless thinking. The problem could not be solved just by doubting or thinking.

On the contrary, the problem lay simply before them.

If you are strong enough, you can solve it. If you are not strong enough, no matter how you calculate it, it will be a waste of effort.

Nashida realized that this issue could not be explored further.

This matter was not something He should continue to pay attention to.

"But according to you, your soul also comes from outside this world. This is really interesting."

After a slight thought, the young god let go of the idea.

It seemed as if He no longer recognized Sumeru or this world.

There are so many puzzles, I really want to solve them all.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible, He has to be busy with work.

"If the Great Compassionate Tree King is expecting my arrival, then I should get away as soon as possible...Yes, I know how to meet Him."

This is the will planted before the branch grows.

He was going to meet a god who had been waiting for a long time, but now Nashida was imprisoned in the Palace of Purity and had no way to escape.

"I believe you will help me, but what can I give you?"

Nashida's eyes fell on Jiang Qing.

This is an opportunity to get whatever she wants. At this time, as long as Jiang Qing is willing to offer a price, Nashida will be willing to accept it.

He had never been closer to His mission.

"Sometimes I think so," Jiang Qing laughed, his words subtle, "You are no different from a scattered soldier."

Narcida was stunned.

He had thought of various answers from Jiang Qing, but this answer was indeed not what he expected.

"Sanbing is a puppet made by General Raiden. His life's destiny is actually to fulfill the ambition of the maker."

Unfortunately, or fortunately, he was not qualified.

In the audiobook of Ray's film, Skirmisher is described as "the guy who is the byproduct of making a general."

As a failed product, it provides a certain amount of experience points for the birth of the Puppet General.

"If we only look at the scattered soldiers, they were born with their own mission, to carry the ambition of the creator and become the thunder general who suppresses Inazuma."

“But it was a failure, so it was abandoned.”

Jiang Qing said, "This is also the moment when its destiny officially begins, and it is also the reason why it is willing to accept the experiment now."

Why must we bear the heart of God and ascend to God?

Not just for power.

This is why it was born, and also why it was abandoned.

On the Taliang Sand, the scattered soldier was searching for a heart, because it was indeed missing the Heart of God that fate had intended it to carry.

This pursuit has continued until today, four hundred years later, when it has obtained the Heart of God and is about to use it to fulfill the mission it was originally created to undertake.

It's hard to say what exactly the scattered soldiers were thinking, but that's how things have developed.

After it was abandoned, it found the heart that it could not carry at that time.

"Are you trying to say that I am a puppet made by the Great Compassion Tree King?"

Stories always serve the subject. A story can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the perspective of the person telling the story.

Nashida could hear it easily.

"Speak some sense, my Lord God."

This is not a critical moment where blood will be drawn.

Jiang Qing's voice was not loud and aggressive, but rather very steady, even with a hint of laziness.

This is not the time to kill.

"I once asked you why the gods protect humans, but you couldn't give an answer."

"There is a Thunderbird in this world who wants to take revenge on all the people on two islands because of the death of a child he loves."

"I also know a great snake who planned his own death and wanted to send the humans he met by chance to the world of light."

"Let me be honest. I will always follow the latter god, but I believe Thunderbird is the normal god."

God can certainly love people, but there is no reason for him to forgive those who anger him.

Thunderbird behaved violently. Because of the death of a boy, he destroyed Heguan and almost destroyed Qinglai Island.

This behavior finally attracted the attention of Lei Dianying, who drew his bow on Mingshen Island and shot the Thunderbird to death on a high place on Qinglai Island.

However, even though Thunderbird was dead, his death still permanently changed the celestial phenomena of Qinglai Island.

Later, the witches set up a special seal, but it could not stop the people of Qinglai Island from leaving their homes and going to other places to seek survival.

This place is no longer liveable.

This doesn't make sense.

If we put our lives on the scales, why would a little boy who can only sing be worth that price?
But because Thunderbird likes him, he is precious to everyone on the two islands of Heguan and Qinglai Island.

If Lei Dianying does not stop it, Thunderbird’s revenge will never stop at Qinglai Island.

He had a deeper anger...even though, technically, it was just a child who died.

Nacida was silent.

Sometimes it's like this because you are too sensitive. Even if the other person just starts talking, you can already understand what he says next.

But useful.

There's a difference between knowing it and actually thinking about it.

So, why should I protect Xumi?

Why do I want to go to the World Tree so badly?

No, no, no, of course it's natural to go to the World Tree.

I am a life derived from the World Tree. The Great Compassionate Tree King gave me the opportunity to be born, so I should solve the disasters faced by the World Tree.

But in the beginning, when I was imprisoned, why did I choose to save those strangers?
"I am about to start speaking ill of Sumi and the Sumiren. You are a wise god and I think you will not be interfered with by biased understanding."

Jiang Qing openly planned to apply eye drops.

"They held you prisoner."

"For five hundred years no one has ever recited your name, and no one has ever cared about your will."

"The Great Compassion Tree King gave you life, but Nashida has an innate mission - to save the world."

This is a very utilitarian idea. If they have never worshipped your name, shouldn't you protect them?
Of course.

They don't even consider me a god, so why should I protect them?

"You are not talking about the Sumeru man, but the Great Compassionate Tree King." His voice was a little cold.

What Jiang Qing really wanted to use on Nashida's eyes was not Sumeru, but the Great Compassion Tree King.

"Some things are just for you to know, there's no need to pick them out clearly."

Jiang Qing looked serious, "But since you insist on communicating so clearly, I certainly can't refuse."

"That's what I thought."

He gave the answer.

"It was not Nashida's will to protect Xumi, just as it was not Sanbing's will to protect Inazuma."

“These ideas are innate missions imposed by the creator.”

If Sanbing is a successful work, then there is no doubt that it should be like Puppet General, under the debugging of Lei Movie, giving everything for the eternity of Inazuma, including a decisive battle with Lei Movie.

Sanbing was born to become the Thunder General, and then to promote eternity and protect Inazuma.

Unfortunately or fortunately, it was a failure.

Lei Movie neither destroyed it, nor intended to let a puppet that could not carry the Heart of God inherit his throne.

The puppet general then embarked on the path to eternity.

But it would be wrong to say that eternity is the general's own idea.

Because Lei Dianying explained it clearly, that was the underlying logic he set for the general, a choice that even he himself could not change.

Nashida is in a similar situation.

Perhaps the Great Compassionate Tree King did not set up absolute logic, but where Nashida was born, the Tree King's love for this world still infected the will of the young god.

Jiang Qing couldn't believe that a god who was imprisoned just after his birth still had such strong goodwill towards the people of the land of Xumi and even the country of Xumi.

This obviously should not be Nashida's choice. It can only be said that just as life obeys the instinct compiled from DNA, the puppet general succumbs to the mission of his birth, and Nashida succumbs to the love of another god for Xumi and all the people on earth.

"You've given me a difficult problem: how to prove that my thoughts were not based on my own will, but were influenced by something else." Nashida's voice did not convey any emotion.

He seemed to have listened, but did not respond further.

"There is a story in Xumi City about a scholar suspected of academic fraud. He plagiarized his student's work, and another brave student reported his teacher."

"It's a shame that this bravery wasn't recognised and his classmates thought he was being a hero, with no regard for the other students who were involved in this teacher-led project."

Jiang Qing smiled peacefully, "I still remember this sentence, 'Radu's incident is indeed regrettable. I originally thought he should be stronger.'"

He paused and completed the rest of his answer, "Everyone worked very hard to complete this project. He could have been patient for a while longer, but he chose this time..."

He chose to commit suicide at this time.

Walk a 6 alone.

"Oh, sorry, I got off topic. Let's continue this story." Jiang Qing patted his head and said apologetically, "You see, I always like to talk about insignificant people."

"And the hero who reported the teacher is now being ostracized by his classmates and hostile to other scholars because of this incident."

"He did the right thing, damaged his own interests, and was ostracized by his peers, to the point where he finally believed he was wrong."

"He wants to be part of the group and be accepted again."

"Then, wise God, please tell me, his later choice was actually also based on his personal will, right?"

Jiang Qing asked with interest, "So, is this his answer, or is this someone else's answer?"

This is sophistry.

Narcida knew it well.

It is impossible for every choice a person makes to be completely unaffected, otherwise education would be meaningless.

But He is special.

Nahida is an example that could fit into this context.

This should be the logic behind the choice of life.

Accept your nature, be driven by your own instincts, then receive education, use the wisdom of learning to transcend your instincts, and make choices that you prefer.

This education includes family education, college learning, and even learning after being deceived. Both sides are education.

In Nashida's case, the answer she received from the "education" from the six sages should naturally be hatred towards the House of the Decrees, and even the entire Xumi City.

From the moment she was born, Nashida was greeted with indifference and imprisonment by the sages.

Based on the same logic, what He can give back to the world should not be beautiful and sweet dreams.

Because He never learned how to love.

No one taught Him these things, all He could learn was indifference and hatred.

But Nashida's instinct told her that she should love the people of Xumi and the country of Xumi.

In the end, his instinct overwhelmed the teachings from the six sages, and he chose to protect this country.

Including suppressing impatience and cooperating with Hazard, it is also based on this instinct.

The devil obviously has a normal emotional system, which is vividly reflected in Lei Dianying.

His current state is basically because He was very happy in the past.

So when fate took things away from Him again and again, He could no longer hold back.

Lei Dianying, Zhongli and Wendy, their emotional systems are very complete.

Only something was not right with Nashida.

He is so forgiving.

Adults should be a little tolerant of children, especially when the logic of the devil's lover is valid.

After the establishment of New Mond, the aristocratic faction once trampled on Barbatos's ideas and once wanted to promote slavery and forcibly declare themselves king in the "free city-state where no one is king."

Wendy himself didn't feel anything about this matter. Although he supported Vanessa in defeating the aristocratic faction headed by Lawrence, this matter only meant that he cared more about the interests of the people of Mondstadt, but it could not be said that he really hated the aristocratic faction.

The simplest thing is, if He really had this idea, Vanessa would have been able to do it for Him and completely wipe out the aristocratic faction.

Even though the aristocrats trampled on the concept of freedom in the past, this group of people did not overturn the statue of Barbatos or shout at the god of wind.

The mistakes they made were obviously forgivable in the eyes of God.

This is how Barbatos treated the old nobles. This is also how the old man gathered believers of other demon gods and gave them equal status. Even Lei Diandian, whose best friend was killed by Orobas, gave the people of Haizhi Island the power to preserve their faith.

But what the House of Worship does is much more serious than this.

They directly violated the majesty of the gods and really hurt Nashida.

Jiang Qing didn't understand whether Nashida's tolerance of Xumi was based on the thoughts of the demon lover or the Great Compassionate Tree King.

But it didn't matter, Nashida could find the answer herself.

Following your instincts is not a big problem; Jiang Qing just forcibly created a contradiction.

You should hate them, but your instinct tells you to love them.

If you follow reason, then you should take revenge.

If you follow your instincts and ignore reason, it means that your instincts are superior to your wisdom.

And it is obvious that Nashida's instincts come from the gift of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

So, are you a new life form, Nashida, or a puppet Nashida left behind by the Great Compassionate Tree King?

This question is equivalent to asking the Puppet General, are you a completely new life form, or the continuation of Lei Movie's will.

He could answer without hesitation that it was the latter.

Because the Puppet General knows his identity and also knows that his ideas come from what Lei Movie gave him.

He knew it all and accepted it all.

But Nashida couldn't.

Because He did not know His own identity.

This should have been the answer that the future Great Compassionate Tree King would tell him, but at the moment, he just regarded himself as the successor of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Nashida even thought at one point that she was not worthy of this status.

Because the Great Compassionate Tree King is a wise god, while He is just a weak god imprisoned in the Pure Palace.

During the long five hundred years, He believed that He was walking alone in this world with His own will. Although He had encountered bad things, He always forgave and tolerated as a God.

But Jiang Qing told Him that this was not a judgment of his own will, but a God wanted Him to think so.

As to whether he is kind-hearted by nature or an extension of the ideals of the Great Compassionate Tree King, it is no longer important.

The truth is not important; what is important is what the person involved thinks.

Nashida had no choice in the future that was arranged by fate.

His only way is to delete the existence of the Great Compassionate Tree King, and then take over the past of the Great Compassionate Tree King in the records of the World Tree.

In reality, He is the Little Lucky Grass King who participated in the war between demons and gods.

This is a path the parties involved did not choose.

If He doesn't delete the Great Compassionate Tree King, there will be problems with the World Tree.

Nashida fulfilled the last wish of the Great Compassion Tree King. As fate would have it, she was the person who best matched the Great Compassion Tree King's past.

Someone must fill the vacancy left by the Great Compassion Tree King, otherwise there will be problems in the war between demons and gods, and there will also be problems in the discussion between the Red King and the Flower God. Someone has to clean up the mess left by the Red King a thousand years ago, and someone has to take responsibility for the disaster of Kanriya five hundred years ago.

The one who best fits the fate of the Great Compassionate Tree King can only be Nashida.

The future Him has no room for choice, but the present Him still has.

He can think about whether he is a puppet of Nashida or the Great Mercy Tree King, and try to make his own choice.

Jiang Qing sighed imperceptibly.

Unfortunately, in the face of his future destiny, all his thoughts and choices at this moment seem so insignificant.

“The Great Compassion Tree King probably didn’t make such an arrangement.” Nashida said softly, “It’s just that when I broke off the branches, He had too high expectations of me.”

Jiang Qing did not comment.

He had no ill will towards a god who sacrificed himself to save Teyvat, and what he said was just that he hoped Nashida would choose another path.

"I can understand your thoughts and am willing to follow your suggestions."

This god who had lived in Jingshan Palace for a long time was still shaken.

He still wanted to protect Sumeru, but now that this thought came to his mind, he could not tell whether it was his own idea or the will of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Jiang Qing's words were just an introduction, and the idea of ​​"Why should I protect Xumi" took root in Nashida's mind.

He had no answer.

Because the demon of Teyvat is a lover, this is probably not only the will of the Great Compassionate Tree King, but also the demon's innate instinct.

But the more he didn't have an answer, the more he was unwilling to believe his first reaction.

It is not because I know the answer that I reject it, but I oppose it simply for the sake of opposing it.

"My suggestions are also a kind of interference," Jiang Qing reminded.

"But I already believe in you," the god replied.

"It's my honor." Jiang Qing bowed deeply and spoke respectfully.

that's enough.

He believes what He wants to believe, and as for the truth... that is irrelevant.

"So, what do you want?"

Nashida asked the question again.

"You've done so many things, and you've repeatedly asked me to give up my concern for Xumi and the people of Xumi. You told me to become your god. What's my value to you?"

"Ascend to the Gods."

Jiang Qing said softly.

"You want to be another stragglers? No wonder you want me to be your god."

After the initial surprise, Nashida looked calm.

"It's not impossible to leap from a mortal to a god, but you're in a hurry."

The path of the skirmishers is indeed the fastest.

For non-demon gods, the Heart of God is indeed a good way to take advantage of the situation.

But in order to be able to take advantage, the scattered soldiers have gone through many years of training.

This is a simple path, but in order to achieve simplicity, you must first go through complexity and difficulty.

"If you have the Skirmisher experiment before and you give me enough time, I should be able to improve your success rate." Nashida shook her head, "But you said that girl is going crazy, right? I guess you don't have time."
