Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Aatrox: "..."

Although he did suggest that if things went wrong, the three of them should kill the Grass God and the rainforest should become a desert, Sivir and Asna had agreed to that, and besides, he didn't know about it.

"So what exactly happened to the little grass god?!" Paimon couldn't stand it anymore.

Hey! (Hands on hips) Can the Riddler please get out of Teyvat?!

"she is..."

Sivir's gaze shifted, and she looked at Ying, suddenly pausing for a moment: "Have we overlooked someone?"

Asna: "Huh?" Then she looked at Ying and murmured, "His Majesty the Emperor had two children?"

"No, the Traveler only invoked the will of the Sun Disc, he didn't unleash any power, but Lord Grass God just now... Aatrox, what do you think?"

Aatrox rubbed his temples... If only Nasus were here.

...

As Aatrox and his companions had anticipated, Narcida honestly admitted her past when they inquired about it.

"My father was Azir, the emperor of the desert."

Although they were initially skeptical, the three believed him after Narcida mentioned Nasus.

Aatrox knew that Nasus had gone to the rainforest, but he didn't know what he was doing there. As for the existence of His Majesty the Emperor's children, Nasus believed that the fewer people who knew, the better, because they were beings that the heavens did not allow.

With the fall of Shurima and the death of its emperor, this child naturally becomes the sole heir to the Shurima civilization.

Few people know about Nasus, especially five hundred years later, so there's little reason to doubt it.

So, once they knew that Naxida was the emperor's son, their task became quite simple.

Keep it as a tribute!

Whether it's a grass god or something else, the world is vast, the emperor is the greatest, and the emperor's children are naturally the second greatest.

As for Ying, the three of them agreed that perhaps her will was recognized, or perhaps for some other reason, but the possibility of her having a child was probably not high.

Ying thought about it and thought, and it seemed that she had nothing to do with a big figure like the Desert Emperor. She was protected by the Human Emperor, though, does that count?

In short, over the next few days, Nasida enjoyed the highest level of treatment in Narimar's city of King Ja.

This puzzled the Shurima people who had already armed themselves and were ready to fight. The Grass God had come to visit, and now was the best time to kill the Grass God and seize the throne. As long as the Grass God was killed, Mount Sumeru would belong to Shurima and the glory of the past would be restored.

The guards who came with Nasita were also puzzled. They had prepared themselves for the possibility of not being able to return before they came, but they never expected things to turn out this way.

Sino was also confused. He began to doubt what he had learned during his years as an academic. Why was he now facing a barrage of questions and completely baffled by everything he encountered?

To be honest, he misses Professor Hein a bit, but almost two months have passed, so even if he does find him, it's probably... hopeless, right?

Thinking of this, Seno felt very sad. After all, the person he admired most in the Academy was Professor Hein. Hein was not only very talented but also upright and incorruptible. He was known for his fairness and dared to go against the Great Sage just a few days after becoming a Sage.

Hein's numerous works were highly regarded by the scholars of the Academy, and many were directly incorporated into textbooks. It should be noted that even among sages, not everyone receives such treatment, given the vast number of sages throughout history. In short, there are differences even among sages.

Throughout the history of the Church of Christ, the name Hein is definitely one that will be recorded in history.

Sino had no doubt that in another ten years or so, Professor Hein would be qualified to select the Great Sage.

pity...

the other side.

Just as Aatrox and his companions were praying for Nasus's early return, the latter was leaving Sumeru and heading southeast.

Following the roots of the sacred tree buried underground, deep within a lush mountain range, Nasus arrived at the secret base.

The interior space is surprisingly large.

The light was dim, but the place was filled with creations of technological civilization.

In addition, a large number of Fool soldiers patrolled back and forth.

In fact, Nasus did not initially intend to come here.

After all, as a 'forbidden' existence, once discovered, she could easily be exploited. In this city-state full of hypocritical wisdom, the pointing fingers of mortals would put Nasita in an extremely precarious situation.

Therefore, over the years, Nasus has primarily displayed his boundless wisdom to the outside world.

However, sometimes, certain things cannot be solved by wisdom alone; corresponding strength is a necessary condition to ensure that wisdom can be put into practice.

What? Do you want to be like my foolish brother, a reckless brute who only knows how to charge forward?

In short, the reason he came here was that he sensed a special power fluctuation two days ago. The power felt somewhat familiar to him, so he was somewhat concerned about it.

Without Naxi Da, Mount Sumeru cannot be disturbed.

Bypassing the guards' patrols and reaching deeper into the base, the familiar power fluctuations became increasingly clear... Nasus realized it was the abyss's presence.

Just like the power that eroded Shurima back then.

Is the Church of Jesus Christ studying taboos?

No.

Nasus quickly dismissed the idea.

Those so-called sages don't have the courage... or rather, the ability to study such beings.

But this power did exist, and Nasus immediately thought of the Fools' Enforcer known as 'The Doctor'.

"That is..."

In a spacious underground space, Nasus saw a golden disc standing in the very center.

"Dotole, shall we begin?"

On the flat ground in front of the disc, a long staircase leads up. Hazard looks up at the disc with a burning gaze in his eyes.

He never expected that the doctor could actually create a solar disk!

Although this disc is smaller than the one standing in Narimar, one can still feel the antiquity and mystery it contains.

“Absolutely no problem.” The doctor smiled faintly. “As long as you activate the solar disk, you will be able to possess power comparable to that of the ascendants.”

"call!"

Hazard let out a sigh of relief.

To become a god with a human body is something unimaginable for anyone.

If he succeeds... then he can acquire the wisdom of the gods and lead Sumeru to a more prosperous future.

Instead of the current situation, where despite possessing deities, they haven't been able to unify the desert even after hundreds of years.

“Great King of the Great Tree of Compassion, in accordance with your will, I will surely make Mount Sumeru even better.” Azar stepped firmly into the area of ​​influence of the Sun Disk.

"Witness the magnificent ascension ceremony!"

The doctor opened his arms and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the secret patterns engraved in the underground space lit up simultaneously, converging into streams of energy that surged into the sun disk—buzzing! The disk trembled violently, followed by a surge of golden light, and then a beam of light suddenly fell.

Swish!

Golden light fell on Hazard.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his body seemed to be forcibly stretched open.

"This is... the power of extended wisdom!"

Hazard closed his eyes, savoring the ultimate pleasure brought by the increase in power.

Unbeknownst to him, the doctor wore a meaningful smile. He looked up at the disc and saw that what was emanating from it was no longer the holy golden light, but rather strands of ominous black!

As the black power poured in, Hazard sensed something was wrong.

"Dotore!" He opened his eyes abruptly, exclaiming in shock and anger, "This isn't right... What's going on? This isn't that divine power! What have you done?"

The Doctor smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Great Sage, this is a necessary step. After all, this is not the real Sun Disk. If you want to join the ranks of the Ascended, isn't it worth enduring a little pain?"

Sun disk?

If that thing were so easy to make, the Kingdom of Winter would have been the best in the world long ago.

Although he expended a great deal of effort, he could only create a replica, and it could only function by drawing a little power from the Sun Disk of Nerimager. This is why the Doctor was excited when he learned that the Sun Disk had risen again.

Since the real sun disk doesn't rise, what he made is useless.

As for the remaining power gap, he could only make up for it with a small wisp of 'forbidden' that he had once explored.

"No! Dotore, I feel something's wrong... Ughhhhh!" Hazard screamed in agony.

He was just a scholar; his body simply couldn't withstand as much torture as a soldier's.

The doctor ignored it, because according to his assessment, the success rate of this experiment was very high.

"You are defiling great wisdom."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Nasus emerged from the shadows, scepter in hand, and walked towards them step by step.

"The great civilization of Shurima, this is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor, yet you have overstepped this greatness... For your crimes, I will grant you an equal death."

The voice was deep and ancient, as if it were a divine blessing, proclaiming what He would do.

"Nessef, you?!" Upon seeing him appear, Hazard even forgot his pain, his face showing surprise.

"Hahaha! You really came, you really came!" The Doctor suddenly burst into laughter. "Nasus? No, no, no, that's not his name. I know from ancient records that the most trusted person of the Desert Emperor was the greatest priest of Shurima—Nasus! Am I right?"

Nasus's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, flickered slightly, radiating a dangerous aura of crimson light.

"It seems you know a lot."

“Of course, Nasus, you were once the person I most wanted to surpass.” The Doctor’s lips curled into a smile. “I was expelled from the Council of the Order and traversed the deserts in search of the power of ancient civilizations, only to find the lost golden disc. I spent hundreds of years studying it, and finally, a few months ago, I glimpsed a trace of its truth, but… that’s far from enough. I need more knowledge to understand Shurima, to create Shurima, and even—to surpass it!”

"And all of this can only be achieved through you, for you are the wisest priest in all of Shurima, and your body contains endless treasures!"

From the very beginning, the Doctor's target was Nasus.

Help Hazard become a god?

Ha! That was just bait, an experiment.

Nasus's tone remained unchanged: "The Great Emperor possesses far greater wisdom and power; why don't you go to Him?"

The doctor paused for a moment, then snorted, "There's no need to use such low language to provoke me. Once I solve the mystery surrounding you, I will naturally reach a higher level."
