Original God, but the real world

Chapter 223 222-
The matter of dream reincarnation was completely left to Nashida.

In the previous arrangements, the sages had originally planned to carry out this step themselves.

The [Void System] is a legacy of the Great Compassionate Tree King. His original intention in establishing the [Void] was actually to draw on [human wisdom] to suppress the disaster of the World Tree.

This method directly resulted in adults in Xumi no longer having dreams for the past five hundred years.

Of course, this is insignificant, at least not a decisive impact.

According to the teachings of the Ministry of Education, dreams are illogical and strange, and not dreaming is a blessing from the Great Compassionate Tree King.

This is what the right to interpretation is like. Even the Great Compassionate Tree King himself believes that he should apologize for diverting people's dreams and causing the adults of Xumi to lose the ability to dream.

But since the Council of Decrees explained it this way, scholars a hundred years later actually believed it.

After receiving help from Lannaro, Hypatia, who was practicing in the rainforest, also gained the ability to dream, but these scholars who were practicing as neighbors were ashamed to mention this matter.

Even after communicating with Ying, I asked her not to mention her dream.

The Court of Ordinances holds the power of interpretation for most matters, and to this day, the [Void] is still in the hands of the Great Sage.

Using the [Void] to debug the Heart of God, Azar certainly would not bother letting the Fatui get involved in such matters.

Although they used the doctor's technology to upgrade the impact of the [Void] on people wearing the [Void Terminal], they can even use this method to directly control most of the wearers.

The technical capabilities involved are quite sufficient, but precisely because the technical capabilities are too high, they become more vigilant.

Letting the Fatui take control, the question becomes who will own the Void.

The void is a machine after all. Even if we do not consider the possibility of the machine getting out of control, its ownership will only belong to its owner.

But who its owner is is still an uncertain matter.

If it were the Great Compassionate Tree King, he would certainly not move his things to another place.

But Hazard does not have absolute confidence, so he is very careful.

Hazard remained alert while wondering how much concession he should make in order to maintain superficial peace between the two sides.

The one who is operating the [Void] now is Nashida. Compared with the Six Sages, Azar is extremely confident that this god of wisdom is personally operating the [Void].

He just needs to delay the incident, and Nashida will definitely be able to handle the rest.

Objectively speaking, his trust in Nashida was certainly not only due to the oppressive situation, but also due to Nashida's own spiritual suggestion.

Even if he cared about Xumi's interests, he could not help but consider the threat of being liquidated in the future and then his family's happiness.

Even if he lost Xumi, he could still be a scholar.

If he really allowed Nashida to take power, he would be doomed.

Between the loss of power and the certain loss of his life, Hazard will hesitate.

But Narcida could make him stop hesitating.

All it takes is a little bit of manipulation to amplify his desire for power and to encourage him to step onto the gambling table of fate, and then everything will fall into place.

Hazard is a man of strong will, and it is difficult to change his perception quietly.

But he is under a lot of pressure now and has to rely on Nashida's existence, which gives him room for maneuver.

Of course, you can also use your great strength to try to control his will directly.

However, Hazard's transformation was too sudden. Since there is time, there is no need to be so impatient.

Under such circumstances, the cycle of the flower god's birthday has arrived as scheduled.

But this time, Ying was not there to solve the problem of reincarnation, and the people of Xumi City were mentally exhausted by the endless harvest of the Void.

This is normal.

The Great Compassionate Tree King simply drew on the dreams of the people. This was an operation that was subtle and silent. He drew on them for five hundred years, but each operation was extremely delicate and cautious.

After all, a God like him would not consider harming human life if he had a choice.

But the Teaching Academy does not have 500 years of silent nourishment. They have to use the ability of the [Void] to break the power of the Heart of God. This is a process that does not need to be dragged out.

In the plot line, they harvested 168 dreams of the people in a short period of time.

It’s no wonder that patients like Dina Zedai can’t bear it.

The demonic scale disease had already tortured the patient's body to the point of near death, and someone was harvesting her dreams while she was sleeping.

I really can't bear it.

But it is the same dream cycle, but this time it not only has more time, but also Nashida is operating the void herself.

The Six Sages could consider this a necessary sacrifice and have no scruples about harvesting the people.

Narcida won't.

Different purposes and different operators naturally lead to different results.

On the other side, Elhaisen and Senor, who were half-expelled from the House of the Decree, gathered in the same place.

With the help of Narcida, they easily found Lanarro.

The fact that Yingmei was able to gain Lanaro's trust has a lot to do with Kong traveling all over Teyvat in the first round.

Both the current Lannaro and the future Hua Ling have a great liking for this golden-haired swordsman from a foreign land.

Because during the disaster period five hundred years ago, Kong Ge was actually walking on the continent of Teyvat.

It was during this period, when Kanreya was destroyed, that disaster swept across the seven kingdoms from underground. Kong and Ying were about to flee, but were urgently stopped by the Maintainers.

Although Sora was captured, he began his journey in Teyvat. After that, he became the prince of the cult and started working for the restoration of Kanrea.

As long as Sora tells the missing things in between, most of the truth about Teyvat will be revealed.

Unfortunately, he didn't or couldn't say it, so Ying could only travel around in confusion, looking for all the truth about the disaster period five hundred years ago.

Of course, Ying is still enjoying the protection brought by her brother to this day.

It's not that the Fatui are not interested in her, it's just that they are able to suppress their curiosity and control their hands.

Lannaro and the flower spirits in Xumi also easily chose to believe Ying - although they had no choice.

Not every hero is like Ying, who can solve all disasters.

Not to mention the cult. Although Ying always tries to stop the plans of the Abyss Cult, every time an Abyss Apostle comes to the rescue, he can only cry out in bad luck when he sees Ying, and quickly runs away after a brief fight.

It’s not that they don’t want to keep their plans on track, the problem is that this girl is like a disaster.

It would be fine if he was just a good fighter, but he also has a strong background. He really damaged the operation of the Ying protection plan. It is hard to say what will happen to him after he returns.

If Ying continued to be a hero, she would be busy saving Nashida during this period and naturally would have no time to save Lannaro.

But Ying is not the only hero in this world.

Only Ying can stand up for Tevarin’s affairs.

Purifying poisonous blood is something that Wendy cannot do by his own strength unless he wants to become Barbatos.

Others are even more helpless.

Ying can purify such a tricky thing just by touching it, so she is the destined hero.

But the core of the story of the Forest Book is Lannaro's sacrifice.

Lana's infection by the Dead Zone was just a trigger. The real core issue was the erosion of the World Tree by the [Forbidden Knowledge] that existed five hundred years ago.

This is a problem that even the Great Compassionate Tree King cannot solve. If he cannot solve it, the World Tree will continue to be affected.

The simplest and most direct reflection of the pollution suffered by the World Tree is the irregular and increasingly dangerous sandstorms in the desert and the increasingly severe dead zones in the rainforest.

The problems faced by Lannaro are problems that have always existed in Teyvat.

All the troubles can only be sealed, and there is no way to solve them completely.

In other words, the chance to completely resolve the problem lies with a blonde girl.

The problem with [Wulutuo] is the same. Lannaro, who had already sacrificed a round five hundred years ago, can still only be sealed.

But the seal will eventually break down, so after a "short-lived" peace, the seal suppressing [Wulutuo] began to break, and a new round of Lannaro was needed to step forward and sacrifice himself to repeat the suppression process.

In the Jungle Book, although the story begins with Nora, the problem actually still comes from five hundred years ago.

Time Assassin.

But this time, Ying couldn't solve it.

She can escort Lannaro all the way back to his homeland, but the final seal must use Lannaro's memory as a bargaining chip.

So in the end, the Lannaros lost their memories of He Ying, and even lost more distant memories.

The flower spirits and trees in the corners have the same problem. Five hundred years ago, a hero sacrificed his life and sealed up some tricky trouble.

After five hundred years, the seal could no longer hold, so everyone replicated the sacrifice as recorded in the classics.

The problem that Lannaro needs to face can still be saved if Nashida can complete her mission as soon as possible.

The core of the dead zone is not on the ground, so even if [Wulutuo] really appears, it can only be sealed temporarily but cannot be completely solved.

This is not the root cause of the disease, but just an external manifestation when the disease has become serious to a certain extent.

Lannaro's sacrifice was to cure the disease, but it can only be said that he saved the patient's life in an emergency when he was on the verge of death, rather than completely curing the disease.

The root cause of the dead zone is the pollution of the world tree, which is a problem that only Nashida can solve.

But in order to solve this problem, he must first obtain the two Hearts of God and then reach the dream left by the Great Compassionate Tree King.

But at present, no Heart of God belongs to Him.

The one that the Skirmisher needs is the one that belongs to the Fatui. The [Void] that He is using also involves a Heart of God, but the authority of the [Void] is not in His hands at the moment.

Of course, just because the ownership of the thing is not in Nashida's hands does not mean that Nashida cannot get the thing.

But this is too risky.

None of the people who have invested so much in the God-building project will allow Him to do this.

Deep in the rainforest.

"I have already sent the specific information back to the Ministry of Education." Elhaisen said calmly, "Considering that the problem this time is very serious, I suggest that we ask the Ministry of Education for support."

There must be something wrong within the House of Representatives.

Even though he was not in Xumi City, Elhaisen had already noticed it.

He and Seno were now completely exiled. Obviously, someone wanted them to leave Xumi City and not interfere with what was happening in Xumi City.

The only people who can achieve this level as a clerk and a high-ranking disciplinarian are sages. And it cannot be just one person, it must be the common idea of ​​the six sages.

Realizing this, Elhaisen considered whether he should go back to the Ministry of Religion to investigate further.

His enthusiasm for the job was purely because he didn't want the work to bother him for too long. The Six Sages had made it clear that they wanted to do a big job, and if things went wrong this time, the Academy of Teachings might be gone.

He is very satisfied with his work and life and does not want such a big change.

Unfortunately not.

The bait thrown by the great sage this time was too valuable. Even though he knew that he was excluded from Xumi City, Elhaisen still chose to stay.

Seno folded his arms and looked at the small mushrooms jumping in the distance.

"It's actually true...but why does the great sage have this ability?"

Tinari's letter did work, or rather, everything was normal until his teacher was released.

Seno followed the normal process, and then found himself being targeted by the sages and even in danger of being eliminated.

So he planned to run away to the desert overnight, but he didn't expect that Hazard changed his mind quickly. He went to his house and blocked his way, asking him to do a very dangerous but important task.

Sino couldn't refuse.

This was an order from the group of Six Sages, and even though he was wary of the sages, he was powerless to refuse.

This is the same situation as in the Heart Sea of ​​Coral Palace. Unless you set up your own business and start a counterattack, the other party can legitimately command you to do dangerous things.

Seno had been alert all the way and never expected that the danger the sages talked about was real. However, this danger was not a backstab arranged by the sages, but a real danger.

They were going to clear out the dead zone, running around according to the arrangements of this group of Lannaro.

Sino is not opposed to this kind of work.

Although Lannaro has always been responsible for suppressing Wuliutuo, this should be a disaster for Xumi in essence.

Since it is a disaster of this magnitude, everyone in Xumi should have a reason to stand up.

If the truth about the World Tree is revealed, it will involve the disaster of Teyvat.

It is hard to say how others will react no matter where the disaster directly affects, but those affected will inevitably resist.

Since the Death Zone poses a threat to Sumeru, the Ministry of Education should bear some responsibility.

"According to what you said, you accepted Tinari's commission to investigate the sages." Elhaisen frowned slightly, "But according to my information, this sage who was said to have an accident went to Hua Castle in person not long ago and invited Tinari to participate in his experiment."

This time Tinari couldn't refuse.

He had refused before because he doubted the intentions of the Church of God, but this time his mentor came in person, and it would be impolite for him to refuse again.

An invitation in a letter can be declined because of “I have thought about it for a long time but due to some problems”, but if the teacher comes to your house in person, you cannot refuse it.

Seno folded his arms and remained silent.

Tinari personally wrote to him about this matter, but... I was kicked out of Xumi City by the Sage because of investigating this matter. You told me that I made a mistake because you worried too much?

When it comes to telling jokes, you are the master.

"There must be a problem." Seno lowered his head, "It's just that something happened in Xumi City that we don't know about, so the situation has changed again."

He could only be vague.

The reason Tinari was suspicious was because there were some small details in the letter that were wrong, but now that people were at his doorstep and reading the letter he wrote to Seno asking him to investigate, Tinari himself couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

He and Seno both thought there must be something wrong, but what could they do?

The person is standing in front of you, and you insist that something is wrong with him, or that he was plotted against by the sages. This doesn't make sense.

"There are definitely problems," Elhaisen said without objecting, "but this matter alone is enough to keep us busy right now."

Lannaro's power is a little difficult for Elhaisen and Seno to understand. Their abilities and elemental powers are completely different from those of others, and are even more bizarre and difficult to understand.

This is truly worthy of the status of a god's follower.

Of course, what they are more concerned about is how Azar got connected with these gods' followers.

The House of Religious Affairs certainly had no knowledge of this before.

If they had known that the situation here was so urgent, they would not have given them no information at all, and would have made them run across most of the rain forest before reluctantly satisfying the demands of these little mushrooms.

"Lannaro is a follower of the Great Kindness Tree King, and the Order of the Lords apparently had no communication with them before."

"These creatures are very wary of outsiders. We have never communicated with the Order, but they can trust us. It seems that the person must have taken action personally."

El Haisen spoke calmly.

Of course it is the new God of Grass, the successor to the King of Trees, the little auspicious Grass King.

Lannaro is a follower of the Great Kindness Tree King, and can also be considered a follower of the Grass God.

Even if they do not revere the new Grass God as much as they do the Great Compassionate Tree King, they should at least have a certain degree of respect and trust for him.

"Have you heard any news about Him?" Seno raised his eyebrows.

"That's the problem." Elhaisen looked at him and said in a deep voice, "In fact, I carefully recalled all the knowledge I have mastered and tried to dig out the name of the Little Lucky Grass King, but the result is...no."

"The God who returned to Xumi five hundred years ago, but today any news about Him is like a taboo, and there is no valid record at all."

A senior disciplinary officer like Seno, who has been dealing with criminologists for many years, certainly understood what Elhaisen meant.

This means that some problems must have occurred after the little Auspicious Grass King returned to Xumi. Otherwise, even if the Council of Religions gave the reason that "the God is too young to appear in public", at least there would have been a celebration ceremony.

There is no news at all. Thinking of the worst possible situation, there might be something wrong with the new God of Grass, so that he has not been able to regain the majesty that belongs to a god in the past five hundred years.

The good thing is that it’s not that the gods failed, but that the six sages failed.

"Since the God of Grass has returned to Xumi, there shouldn't be no movement at all." Saino gave his own guess, "Unless He hasn't appeared in front of people for five hundred years."

Some things can be done by sages, such as changing decrees and laws. If the God of Grass is not satisfied, the Great Sage can come forward to make changes.

But there are some things that wise men cannot and should not do for others.

In this situation where there is no news at all, there must be something wrong on one side.

Either a sage or a god.

"You have too deep a prejudice against the great sage." Elhaisen did not support Seno's idea.

The death of the Great Compassionate Tree King remains a mystery to this day.

The Xumi people had no idea when their god died. The only valuable record was that five hundred years ago, the sages of that generation found the new god from the place where the tree king disappeared.

It is difficult to say what the relationship is between the Great Kindness Tree King and the Little Auspicious Grass King. If the Tree King temporarily created a god for the Sumeru people when he was on the verge of death, it is understandable that the newborn Little Grass King could not grow up.

"Anyway, it's clear that the God of Grass has come forward now." Seno did not argue with Elhaisen.

Their current positions are relatively consistent and there is no possibility of any conflict.

"Only the Grass God can make them trust us so much."

"They trust us very much, but I don't trust them." Elhaisen shook his head. "According to the intelligence we have collected so far, they were able to succeed because they obviously received help from a hero five hundred years ago."

This is not difficult information.

Because many of the things Lannaro asked them to do were meaningless to them, and it was obvious that they were just trying to replicate some things in the past.

And in the past, there was a man who did what they are doing now
"I don't suggest you really think of yourself as a hero." Elhaisen's answer was very calm. "What the heroes in history were able to do, we may not be able to do."

"But the danger level of this matter does not allow for failure. It is best not to treat yourself as a hero in this matter."

Sometimes, a hero’s ability to accomplish great things is not entirely based on personal ability, but also requires a bit of luck.

Elhaisen is not one to underestimate himself, but he is not willing to take risks.

It's not that there is no time to prepare. Since this matter is so important, why not send more capable people?
That's the trouble. It gives you time to prepare, but you insist on doing it alone.

Success would be great, but if it fails, personal life and death are insignificant. Can Lannaro create another ritual and provide another sacrifice?
Elhaisen didn't want to know the answer.

He just thinks that important things require full effort.

Since it was the Council of Churches that threw them here, it was only natural to ask for help from the Council of Churches at the critical moment.

Seno remained silent.

If it was hunting scholars, he was quite good at this kind of thing and had almost 100% confidence.

Besides, even if it fails, there is still a chance to implement the capture plan again.

But this kind of problem that can only be solved by sacrificing others cannot be described as certain.

During this period of time, they tried various things, and although they did not find out the specific price, the other party's description still made them realize an answer.

Sacrifice cannot be replaced, and only Lannaro can do this.

Of course, neither of them would cry out, "No, this is not right. There must be a way for everyone to be happy."

Since sacrifice is inevitable, they can only live up to it and try their best to solve this problem.
