The fact that both Elhesen and Seno went to the desert is not a good sign for their plans.
These two are a constant problem. He must find a way to get rid of them completely as soon as possible, otherwise his god-making plan may be ruined.
Without sufficient knowledge of the gods, the mechanical divine body before us, even if it possesses divine power, is still a false god.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety and unease.
He then turned and left the Church Workshop, heading towards his office. He decided to immediately begin developing an action plan targeting Elhesen and Seno.
The council chamber was quieter than ever before. The corridors were devoid of any other sounds, save for the distinct echo of Hazard's footsteps.
Hazard suddenly noticed a figure standing silently in front of him, and his anger flared up instantly.
I gave orders during the day that everyone except the scholars from the God-Making Workshop must carry a Void Terminal and go to sleep before midnight.
As a result, someone actually dared to disobey his orders!
He quickened his pace, wanting to get a good look at the scholar and then rebuke him harshly.
But as he got closer and saw the man's face, he exclaimed in surprise, "Tinari? What are you doing here?"
Tina stared at Hazar expressionlessly, his gaze cold and resolute. He didn't answer Hazar's question, but instead asked, "Hazar, why did you do this? Why did you betray Lord Little Lucky Grass?"
Azar's face immediately turned extremely ugly, but he quickly retorted angrily, "I have never betrayed Little Lucky Grass King, because I have never believed in her from beginning to end! She is just an ordinary child, how dare she become a god of Mount Sumeru!"
“Azar, you’ve gone mad. While the Little Auspicious Grass King isn’t as omniscient and omnipotent as the Great Compassion Tree King, she has always cared for the people of Sumeru. Even though her divine power is still weak, she has always strived to be a good god.” Tinari’s tone was also intense. Inspired by Ueno Chiki, he had joined the Seed Clan and become a loyal follower of Nasita.
"Tinari, you are a smart man, and I used to admire you. Abandon your ignorant faith and join my god-making plan. Once the god-making plan succeeds, the entire continent of Teyvat will be transformed, and I will stand at the top of the world, looking down on the gods and mortals." His voice was filled with madness and ambition, as if he could already see the moment when he would dominate the world.
Tinari shook his head, looking at him with a serious expression. "Hazar, you're insane. Now come with me and release Lord Little Lucky Grass."
"Hahaha~" Hazard suddenly laughed. "Hahaha, Tinari, Tinari, I laugh at your youthful recklessness. Do you know that if you had just captured me, I would have had to obey you obediently? But now..." Hazard deliberately dragged out his words, "I have already summoned guards using the Void Terminal."
As Hazard finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind him. Ten guards armed with sharp blades arrived behind him, watching Tinari warily, ready to attack at any moment.
However, Tinari remained calm and said to the shadows behind him, "Lord Oppenheimer, let's make our move! We've seen his true colors."
Immediately afterwards, Ueno Chiki emerged from the shadows, followed by about a hundred people.
Hazard stood there dumbfounded.
"Great Sage, do you know when people feel the most regret and disappointment?" Ueno Chiki looked at him calmly, a hint of mockery on her face. "It's when you're about to succeed, but then face an inescapable failure, isn't it?"
Hazard's face turned deathly pale instantly. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he felt no pain.
His face contorted with rage as he shouted, "Uday, you traitor, come out here! I've only ever said these things to you!"
Not long after the words were spoken, a figure hesitated for a moment before slowly stepping out from the crowd behind Ueno Chiki. He didn't dare to look Hazar in the eye, keeping his head down and appearing very uneasy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
“Great Sage, everything you have done has violated the original intention of the ancient sages in establishing the Council of Teachings and betrayed the gods.”
"I betrayed you, you idiot! What do you know? Imprisoning the Little Lucky Grass King was a decision made by the ancient sages. Sumeru is a realm of wisdom and reason; it doesn't need gods to rule over everything!"
At this moment, Hazard abandoned all semblance of a great sage and unleashed a torrent of profanity. His booming voice echoed throughout the entire Council of the Fathers.
"Wisdom is the enemy of wisdom. The wiser a person is, the more self-righteous they become, turning into ignorance and arrogance. In the end, it is power and desire that corrupt people's hearts." He looked at Azar with disdain. "Rest assured, those sages who imprisoned the Little Lucky Grass King, I will dig up their bones one by one, grind them to dust, and erect a monument to forever record their blasphemous sins!"
Hazard looked ashen-faced. If that were the case, he would be infamous for eternity and never be able to recover.
"Now, Hazard, hurry up and open the cage of the Little Lucky Grass King!" Ueno Chiki said coldly.
"Hmph! Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than open that cage. Let your god be imprisoned for all eternity, hahahahaha!" Hazard let out a twisted and perverse laugh.
"Sigh, really." Ueno Chiki sighed softly, then took out a bag from behind him and pulled out a series of props from it: steel wool, spiked club, rattan cane, beer bottle, violet, and so on.
He looked up at Hazar and said, "You've probably read 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame,' right? Great Sage, would you be interested in trying out these props?"
Chapter 145 Welcoming the Holy Master of the Seed Sect
In the dim light, Hazard's face appeared extremely pale, his eyes filled with terror and despair, clearly indicating that he did not have the courage to face these props.
Just as Ueno Chiki was about to take Azar to the Pure Land Palace, a cold voice came from the darkness.
“Oppenheimer, it seems you’ve gone a bit too far.” The voice belonged to the sage Dintel, also known as Doctor Dottore.
Just as Tinari was about to say something, he was stopped by Ueno Chiki, who stepped forward and said in a tone that could only be heard by the two of them, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not affect your god-making plan, Lord Totole."
Dotole glanced coldly at Ueno Chiki, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing.
He turned and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness as if he had never been there, leaving only a silent darkness behind.
“Lord Oppenheimer, he, he is not the sage Tintel,” Tinari reminded him.
Ueno Chiki nodded. "He is indeed not the sage Dintel, but now is not the time to deal with him. We have more important things to do."
“Yes. We’re going to rescue Queen Little Lucky Grass; she’s been imprisoned for five hundred years,” Tinari replied.
Then, they led the spineless Hazard step by step toward the palace. The surrounding scenery seemed to have lost its color, leaving only their group moving forward in the dim light.
Before long, they arrived at the gate of Jingshan Palace.
Ueno Chiki stepped forward and gently pushed open the palace gate with both hands. As the door slowly opened, an ancient and solemn aura wafted out.
Upon hearing the door open, Nasita slowly opened her eyes. She saw the handsome Ueno Chiki walk to the cage, kneel on one knee, and respectfully say, "Great Lord of the Seed Clan, we welcome your return!"
The onlookers were filled with awe and excitement. They knew they were witnessing a historic moment.
Hazard collapsed to the ground; from that moment on, he had become a sinner in history.
He hated his own weakness, for not even having the courage to face torture, but he hated Oppenheimer even more, hated all the evil people in front of him, and hated that mediocre and ignorant god.
"Hazard, don't waste your time!" Ueno Chiki said with utter disdain as she looked at him.
"Oppenheimer, I can open it right now, but please, please give me a way out, okay?" Hazard had completely abandoned his usual arrogant attitude and instead begged for his life in a humble voice.
Ueno Chiki sneered inwardly. Just for what he had done to Nasita, he would never let him go. What's more, he had used the Dream of Reincarnation to harvest the people of Sumeru, causing some irreversible damage to their brains.
“Hazar, I will spare your life. After it is done, I will exile you and the scholars who participated in the project to Daocheng Forest.”
He said this, but he had already decided to hand Hazard over to the disciplinary officer for torture.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go open the cage right now."
Upon hearing this, Hazard felt a great sense of relief. As long as he survived, he was content, and if given the chance, he could return.
He scrambled to a device beneath the circular cage, reached his hand inside, and then the circular cage imprisoning Nasita gradually disappeared.
Nasita slowly descended from the sky, her heart filled with excitement and joy. She was no longer a caged bird and could finally enjoy her freedom.
Led by Chiki Ueno, everyone placed their hands in unison over their hearts and bowed in reverence. They chanted aloud: "Our Lord, the Greatly Benevolent, Auspicious, Wise, and Holy Lord, protects all beings. With our faith, we give thanks to our Lord, the lineage begins~"
Nasita felt a little embarrassed as she listened to the chanting. She felt that she was not really wise and holy, otherwise she would not have been imprisoned by the Church for five hundred years.
She looked at Ueno Chiki and thought to herself, if he were her, the Great Sage would probably have dealt with him long ago.
"Thank you all for rescuing me. I will definitely try my best to be a good god." Naxida's childlike and melodious voice reached everyone's ears.
Her humble attitude immediately won everyone's favor. They believed that Nasita was a trustworthy deity and a leader worthy of following. Under her leadership, Sumeru would surely usher in a brighter future.
"Tinari, I'd like you to lead your men to deal with the remaining of Azar's accomplices," Ueno Chiki said to Tinari.
After Tina nodded to indicate that she understood, she quickly led her people away from there.
The vast Jingshan Palace suddenly became empty and quiet again.
“Oppenheimer, thank you,” Nasita said sincerely, knowing that without him, she wouldn’t have been released so easily.
“Nasita, there’s no need to be so polite. You can call me by my real name in private—Ueno Chiki. Actually, even if I didn’t save you, someone else would. And my purpose in saving you wasn’t entirely pure.”
Nasita gently shook her head. "Ueno Chiki, no one in this world is completely noble. Even gods have their own selfish desires. Everything you've done is good; you are a good person. I still have a use for the Heart of God, so I can't give it to you for now. But knowledge, I can transfer it into your mind right now. May I ask, what kind of knowledge do you want?"
"I want knowledge that grants me immense power and endless lifespan," Ueno Chiki stated directly, revealing the knowledge she desired.
Nasita was stunned. She hadn't expected that this was what Ueno Chiki wanted. She thought about it carefully for a moment, "I have some knowledge in this area, but before I pass it on to you, you must tell me why you want this knowledge."
Chiki Ueno answered truthfully: "I want to live happily ever after with the person I love."
This answer was clearly somewhat unexpected for Nasita. Mortals, who pursue great power and endless life, often seek to rule a country permanently.
"The person you love will surely be very happy! You are a devoted man."
Ueno Chiki scratched her head, an embarrassed expression on her face. "Actually, I love more than one person."
Nasita: "......."
Chapter 146 The Method of Immortality
“Ueno Chiki, the human body can only support a lifespan of about a hundred years. If you want to have a long life, there are currently only two methods,” Nasita said slowly, looking at Ueno Chiki before her.
Ueno Chiki stared wide-eyed at Nashita, her face full of anticipation.
"Which two?" he asked impatiently.
Nasita smiled slightly and continued, "One option is to abandon the human body and replace it with a shell that can withstand the ravages of time."
This suggestion made Ueno Chiki pause for a moment. He immediately shook his head, a determined expression on his face, "I don't want to give up my human body."
Nasita nodded, as if she had already anticipated Ueno Chiki's reaction. She continued, "Secondly, it is to sublimate the human body and transform it into other long-lived beings, such as demons, immortals, divine beasts, witches, and so on."
Ueno Chiki's eyes lit up. "This is good. I'll choose this method."
“But the problem is, I don’t have any knowledge about the second method. There are very few records about Teyvat.” Nasita spread her hands helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Ueno Chiki fell into deep thought.
Among the many long-lived species, the immortal is undoubtedly the best form, but in the thousand-year history of Liyue, no one has ever been heard of ascending to immortality.
Secondly, there are celestial beasts, such as Gan Yu and Yan Fei, but celestial beasts are inherited through bloodlines, and it is unheard of for a human to become a celestial beast.
As for witches, they were not within his consideration.
So now the only option left is the Demon God form, which seems to be the most likely to succeed.
Moreover, some people have already gone very far down this path.
A name popped into his mind: Doctor Dottore. This guy had conducted countless human modification experiments using the remnants of the demon god, and Dottore had even modified himself.
So far, Doughtore's transformation has been successful; he is now close to being a demon god. However, Doughtore is far too evil.
I don't want to deal with this guy right now.
After a long while, Ueno Chiki spoke up, "Nashida, could you please help me with this research?"
