-negotiation...
—Why negotiate?
—They could have easily taken the Heart of God from the Grass God's hand...
The professor felt increasingly uneasy...
Reason told him to just grab it, but he chose to trust his gut feeling.
Unlike that slice, the doctor, while not trusting his feelings, also didn't trust his reason.
Reason can also deceive us... for example, when we don't know enough about something.
The PhD students nowadays feel like they've forgotten some things.
Therefore, he chose a more conservative approach and opted to negotiate with the Grass God.
As for the details of the deal negotiated by both parties.
The doctor needs those two divine hearts.
The Grass God needs the truth about this world from the Doctor... and the other fragments of himself that the Doctor wants to destroy.
"Slicing...that requires extremely rare resources and a tremendous amount of effort..."
—However, it was a pleasant surprise.
Chapter 217 Benefactor!
When a doctor realizes that some slices are beyond his control, they may even get him into some trouble.
When the risks outweigh the benefits, then the project may need to be abandoned.
Perhaps when that slice developed restless thoughts and slipped out of his control, the doctor considered discarding it.
The Doctor hadn't done this before because the Evil Eye possessed by that slice could resist or even suppress his annihilation...
The Grass God's request was simply to make the Doctor bring this idea into the open, and even to give him a reason to kill the other slices.
This isn't much of a requirement; it's exactly what the PhD student wants to do.
Perhaps the doctor should be laughing at this moment, but now is not the time to laugh.
"You've made a very clever choice to have me destroy all the slices here."
He looked at the little grass god in front of him, his tone somewhat strange.
"really interesting."
"Of all the versions of myself, the one you see is the most selfish."
“If it weren’t for me… your idea wouldn’t work.”
The voices of the other fragments echoed in his mind; they were the last words they uttered on their deathbeds.
The voices of different ages were filled with anger, and the song ended with a boy's voice.
Realizing it was over, the doctor opened his eyes and looked at the Grass God who had reached out to him.
"So, is it confirmed?"
Narcida did not answer directly, but instead showed the Doctor the Heart of Thor.
"I will take complete control of the future Sumeru City."
Naxida, who had handed over the Heart of God, looked up, her expression no longer that of the little girl she once was.
"I will close the void and allow people's thirst for knowledge and curiosity to once again dominate the academic field..."
Of course, this is just superficial rhetoric.
—More importantly...
Nasida paused for a moment, then continued, "There won't be any more opportunities for you to take advantage of the situation."
"Then... let's talk about your Grass God Heart."
"As I said before, I'll exchange my knowledge of the 'False Sky' for your Grass God's Heart..."
...
Sumeru is a land of "wisdom," but their creations are more closely related to academic fields.
However, there are very few inventions that make life easier for residents.
These inventions often originated from Fontainebleau on the other side...
The people of the Water God City used water as their power source, creating many machines through the power generated by water evaporation.
The machine that Mu Xian rode in was just like that.
Aside from being a bit noisy and bumpy on the road, the speed wasn't slow.
The fools who were controlling the machine to move forward would occasionally glance at Mu Xian, who was sitting behind them with his eyes closed, resting.
The power that Mu Xian had previously displayed frightened this group of fools, but they were also worried that Mu Xian might not be able to withstand the mechanical jolting and might grab them by the neck and throw them off the vehicle.
The unnecessary anxiety continued all the way, and she didn't even notice that Mu Xian, who was sitting in the back, had long since disappeared for a short distance.
Along the way, Mu Xian could feel the connection between himself and the bracelet growing stronger.
Finally, Mu Xian saw a small creature that was entirely green and had a green leaf on its head.
The thing was very small, and even though he carefully hid behind the rock, Mu Xian still managed to see its chubby figure.
Upon seeing that thing, Mu Xian jumped off the machine.
The noisy rumble of machinery gradually faded away, and Lanalo, who had been hiding very poorly, finally realized that Leng Leng Nara was walking towards him.
Its tiny arms swayed, making a soft, rustling sound, as it turned to leave.
The clumsy turning motion allowed Mu Xian to quickly catch up with it, and he lifted it up in front of him by the leaves and roots on its head.
"Leng Leng Na La, you naughty girl, put her down!"
The thumping and shaking became more intense, and the thrown saplings hit Mu Xian's clothes before falling down.
Perhaps it was Lanalo's words that had an effect, because Mu Xian put it down.
"Thanks to you for taking care of her these past few days."
With another soft thud, Lanaluo looked up at Mu Xian.
With its head tilted, it didn't immediately realize what Mu Xian meant.
But soon, it jumped up as if it had realized something.
"friend!"
Lanalo opened his arms: "You are Nala's friend!"
Before she could finish speaking, Lana Luo turned and ran off in a certain direction.
The little short-legged creature was running a bit too fast, but Mu Xian only took a small step to catch up with it.
After many twists and turns, Mu Xian arrived at an excessively small, round house.
Two girls were curled up inside the house, one of whom was protected by a green circular barrier.
Mu Xian recognized both girls in front of him.
Mu Xian had met the girl protected by the barrier once.
Not long ago, when Mu Xian was traveling from the port of Omos to the city of Sumeru, he had seen this girl.
She was surrounded by mushroom beasts back then, and Mu Xian was curious about how she could last so long.
After glancing at the girl behind the barrier, Mu Xian quickly looked away.
Seeing this girl was an accident; Mu Xian's purpose in coming here was not her.
The light from the bracelet on his wrist grew brighter and brighter, and Mu Xian could even feel the temperature gradually rising from it.
The rising temperature made Mu Xian look at another girl inside the room.
She curled up, hugging her legs, her head, covered by a hat, buried between her legs, so Mu Xian couldn't see her expression at all.
Although he couldn't see it, Mu Xian knew exactly what her expression looked like at that moment.
After all... Mu Xian had also experienced that feeling.
He bent down and entered the small house.
Mu Xian looked at the girl curled up, who looked like a sleeping black kitten.
However, the dreams I had while I was asleep were not pleasant; in fact, they were nightmares.
He reached out to touch the girl, but the girl's whole body seemed to sense something frightening, and she suddenly trembled.
Seeing the girl unconsciously shrink towards the corner of the wall, Mu Xian also withdrew his hand.
"Really..."
Mu Xian closed his eyes and stood there in silence for a long time.
The strange atmosphere left Lanalo, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.
Just as it was about to speak, it discovered that the cold and aloof Nala in front of it had already opened her eyes.
"Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian approached the girl.
This time, Mu Xian didn't hesitate and picked up the trembling girl.
In that instant, Mu Xian felt that suffocating feeling that had once been there again.
However, unlike before, this time Mu Xian was still in pain, but not so much that he couldn't even take a step.
Carrying the girl, Mu Xian walked out of the stone house step by step. Before leaving, he looked at Lan Na Luo who was following behind him.
"I took her away and brought her home."
Lanaro stopped upon hearing this.
It wanted to raise its hand to say goodbye to Mu Xian, but found that Mu Xian had already turned around.
