People cry out in agony before they die.

"stop!"

Nasita suddenly interrupted Aizen's actions.

"Oh?"

Aizen looked at Nashida.

"So, you still want to struggle? But unfortunately, your strength is insufficient to resist me, so your struggle is futile."

Naxi Da was very composed.

"Indeed, I cannot resist you, but what about the principles of justice?"

"..."

Aizen fell silent for a moment, and even the transmutation array of Sumeru Castle stopped, changing from its activated state to a standby state.

The people of Sumeru City began to gasp for breath. They had just felt like they were about to die, but now that they had recovered, they quickly caught their breath.

"I am the grass god of Sumeru, one of the seven gods recognized by the laws of heaven. Although I cannot defeat you, I am not the strongest god on the continent of Teyvat. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the weakest god."

"However, if I commit suicide, the commotion of the Grass God's death will alarm the Heavenly Principles. At that time, the Heavenly Principles will definitely descend upon Sumeru. Not only the Heavenly Principles, but other gods will also be summoned by the Heavenly Principles and descend upon Sumeru. At that time, your experiment will be impossible to complete, and you yourself will not even be able to escape!"

Nasita looked at Aizen with unwavering determination.

"Oh? Are you saying you're threatening me with your life?"

"That's right, I'm threatening you with my life."

"Are you willing to give up your life for these humans?"

Aizen looked at Nashida with curiosity.

"The Great Tree King was willing to dedicate his power to the desert and sacrifice his life to save Teyvat. As his successor, I can do the same!"

“For the sake of Sumeru, I must stop you. So if you want to conduct the experiment, I have no choice but to stop you, even if it means sacrificing my own life.”

Nashida's expression was very resolute, which gave Aizen a headache.

"This is really troublesome. If you really do that, my experiment will be impossible to continue. After all, I don't want to see my experiment have to be stopped because of the arrival of justice."

"In particular, the Heavenly Principles you mentioned will also summon the other seven gods."

"But how can you be sure that what you're saying is true?"

Despite having a headache, Aizen didn't completely believe Nashida's words.

"You may not believe it, but do you dare to try it? I'm willing to risk my life to try it. Do you dare to try it with me?"

Aizen fell silent.

The pressure eased with Aizen's silence, and everyone turned their attention to Aizen and Nashida.

Everyone heard their conversation: Kusagami threatened Aizen with his own life, willing to sacrifice himself to save the Sumeru people.

"So, what's your choice?"

Nasita spoke, staring intently at Aizen, awaiting his reply.

"Alright, little grass god, you've successfully threatened me."

Aizen released Narcida's neck, allowing her to fall back onto the remaining half of the wooden figure.

"Although you are weak, you are very good. You have successfully used your wisdom to stop me."

"It is my honor to be able to stop a strong person like you."

After stopping Aizen, Nashida didn't make any harsh remarks; instead, she was very polite.

"Then, God of Wisdom who has returned to Sumeru, I hope you can protect your country well. I look forward to your future performance."

Aizen withdrew his right hand, and the red light of Sumeru Castle disappeared again. Aizen slowly left the wooden doll and began to rise into the sky. Behind him, a dark spatial gate suddenly opened.

"Aizen!"

As Aizen was about to leave, Nashida suddenly spoke again.

"As a god, why would you conduct such experiments that sacrifice humanity!"

Nashida's question drew the attention of the few people who had been freed from Sumeru Castle, especially the Doctor, who immediately focused his gaze on Aizen, awaiting his answer.

"For a higher realm!"

Aizen answered loudly, while raising his hand to take off the black-rimmed glasses on his face.

"No one stands in the heavens from the beginning, neither you nor I, not even the laws of nature. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne of heaven is about to end, for from this day forward, I will stand above the heavens!"

With a gentle squeeze, the glasses were crushed, then the hair was swept back and turned into a slicked-back style.

"What? You mean you want to!"

Nasita stared at Aizen in utter shock, but Aizen no longer answered her; he had already entered the dark portal.

"Farewell, humans of Sumeru, and you, little god of wisdom. As far as gods are concerned, you are truly interesting."

After saying these words, the dark spatial door closed completely, and Aizen disappeared from the sky above Sumeru.

His disappearance caused an uproar throughout the entire city of Sumeru.

Most people didn't know what Aizen's words meant. They were all cheering. The Grass God had saved them again. They wouldn't die. The Grass God was indeed the God of Wisdom of Sumeru. Although he couldn't match his opponent in battle, he used his wisdom to defeat him. However, this method was a bit exhausting for the Grass God. If the opponent really wanted to make a move, then Sumeru would have to consume another Grass God.

But at least the ending was good; they didn't die and survived under the protection of the grass god.

Among the cheering crowd, some people behaved in a completely different way from those around them.

The Doctor was overjoyed after watching Aizen leave.

"I never imagined that your goal would be to replace the principles of Heaven. What a grand ambition indeed."

Paimon and Ying's faces were filled with confusion.

"Traveler, Paimon, what's wrong? Why do you both look so worried? We barely survived!"

Dixia helped Dina Zede up, and while happy, she asked the two of them curiously.

"Um...it's nothing, it just feels a little strange."

Paimon shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Ying, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Traveler, have we seen this scene before?"

268. The Little Lucky Grass King Reclaims His Divine Status

I've seen it before, haven't I?

Ying was speechless.

I used it when Li Yue was fighting Dvalin, the Stormterror, in Mondstadt, with Venti in the party as well. It turned out that Dvalin was actually the Wind Dragon, and Venti was the Wind Barbatos. Later, I used it again when Li Yue assassinated the Geo Archon at the Liyue Summoning Ceremony, with Zhongli in the party as well. It turned out that Zhongli was the Geo Archon, and all of this was arranged by the Geo Archon.

Inazuma didn't go, but Thor is now following Li Yue around.

Now that we've arrived at Sumeru, there's a person named Aizen there who's doing exactly the same thing Li Yue did before. Even though their faces are different, aren't they at least trying to conceal the sword in their hands? And Narcida is also there. Narcida has appeared before in Liyue and Mondstadt, and this is her third appearance.

Well, so Narcida is actually the Grass Goddess? So I already knew the God of Mount Sumeru back in Mondstadt? I didn't know that at all along the way, and I really thought she was an orphan adopted by Li Yue.

Do all the gods of Teyvat like to play like this?

The gods of Mondstadt hide their identities as street singers and have a crazy love for drinking. The gods of Liyue hide their identities as guests of the Hall of Rebirth, selling coffins and spending their time drinking tea and watching plays. The gods of Sumeru are even more direct, even going so far as to become the daughters of people from another world. This is simply amazing!

So, what strange plot is going to happen in Sumeru this time? I already know that Nasita is the grass god. Are you going to explain to me what this strange plot is all about?

Ying thought the gods of Teyvat were mentally unstable. Besides that, she also felt sorry for Li Yue, this person from another world.

They were from another world just like me. Although my life was a bit tough, at least I was free and relaxed. Compared to Li Yue, Li Yue was just a tool being fooled by the Teyvat gods. How pitiful! He was kept in the dark by a group of gods. Only Thor was a little more direct and didn't hide his identity.

While the traveler from another world felt sorry for Li Yue, post-disaster work began in Sumeru City following Aizen's departure.

"Little Auspicious Grass King!"

After coming into contact with the Wooden Man at the port of Sumeru City, Naxida returned to the shore via the river and was warmly welcomed by the people of Sumeru City.

"Welcome back, Lord Little Lucky Grass King."

The scholars of the Church of Jesus knelt down one by one before Nasita.

"Grass God, thank you for saving us, for saving Sumeru!"

The people of Sumeru, whether from the desert or the rainforest, all knelt down before Naxida.

"My fellow citizens of Sumeru, rise up!"

Nasita raised her hand, and countless branches sprouted from the ground, lifting all of them up.

"I'm sorry, I lacked self-confidence for some reasons before, so I wasn't able to help you in time."

"No, we are the ones who should apologize. We, the sages of the Church, actually imprisoned you, and we ordinary people even forgot to have faith in you. This is our fault!"

Naxida's performance made the people of Sumeru realize that Sumeru could do without a great sage, but it absolutely could not do without the voice of grass. Now they just wanted to kick the sage aside and raise the banner of the grass god.

"Thank you all so much for accepting me. I am still an immature god, but I will try my best to fulfill my duties as a god."

"Yes! You will definitely become a qualified god!"

In this situation, anyone who dares to say that Naxida is unqualified will be met with fierce resistance!

"In that case, let's deal with the work behind Sumeru City first."

Naxi Da looked at the crowd.

"Are Elhesen and Seno there?"

"we are at."

El-Hysen and Seno stepped out from the crowd.

"Lord Grass God, what are your orders?"

To be honest, the two of them were quite nervous when they came out, because they had entered the city with the desert people and still had wanted posters hanging over their heads.

"Lord Grass God, those two are traitors to Sumeru!"

Sure enough, as soon as the two stepped forward, someone immediately identified them.

There's nothing we can do; those two made too much of a fuss by attempting to assassinate the Great Sage, and their wanted posters are still plastered on the streets.

"It's alright, they're not traitors. It was all Aizen's scheme to make others think they were wanted criminals, thus coercing them into the desert."
