Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"what?"

The Sumerian were very surprised, while Elhesen and Seno were even more surprised.

"Lord Grass God, are you aware of our situation?"

"Yes, I know your situation, and I'm sorry I couldn't help you at the time."

"No, Lord Grass God, it's enough that you've cleared our names. At least we won't have to bear the label of traitors."

Both Al-Hysen and Seno understood perfectly well that it would be enough to clear their names.

"You two are very capable, so I hope you can help me handle the rest of the matter."

"It's an honor for us."

Elhesen and Seno immediately nodded. Helping the Grass God was the right thing to do!

What do you need us to do?

"Elhesen, you've worked in the desert before, so you should know it well. Could you help me appease the people of the desert?"

Nasita gave him his task.

What do you want me to do?

Elheisen is now holding the title of Grand Steward, so he's still somewhat useful.

"I hope that the people of the desert can put aside their past misunderstandings, become a part of Mount Sumeru, and make Mount Sumeru complete."

"I see."

Elhesen understood Nasita's meaning: the desert had finally achieved unity, and in this situation, the Grass God had saved so many desert people, allowing them to return to Sumeru.

Although the desert people were originally supposed to be the subjects of the Red King, now that the Red King has been dead for thousands of years, the desert and the rainforest should be integrated, and at least there should be no more division or even hostility between them.

“Sino, your status as Grand Disciplinary Officer still exists. Would you please take the Disciplinary Officer and appease the Order of the Church?”

"I see."

Seno felt he understood Narcida's meaning. The people in the Church had imprisoned the Grass God without authorization and even created an artificial god. These were both heinous crimes. He needed to control the Church, especially the sages there, as they were definitely the ones in charge of these things.

Elhesen and Seno left with their respective missions, while Nasida reincarnated and looked towards the enormous God of Righteousness in the river.

This god of righteousness no longer had a head, but his enormous body was largely undamaged.

"This thing should probably be kept, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, blue teleporters appeared beside her, and the Thousand Rock Army, which had been preparing in Liyue Harbor for a long time, made its appearance.

269. Elhesen: I'm determined to be the Great Sage!

The sudden appearance of the Thousand Rock Army startled the Sumeru people, especially the blue portal, which brought back very bad memories for them. Aizen had left through a black portal, and this blue portal looked terrifying, didn't it?

However, after the Thousand Rock Army came out, they immediately bowed to Naxi Da, which surprised the Sumeru people.

As requested by Naxida, the Thousand Rock Army took over the defense of Sumeru City and was responsible for controlling the security within the city. All of this was arranged by Li Yue, with the aim of controlling Sumeru City while also keeping the desert people under control.

From the moment Li Yue entered Sumeru, he began to think about how to play.

At first, Li Yue thought of directly controlling the Order of the Sea, since he had already transformed into Aizen, it would be a shame not to play a controlling role. However, Li Yue later changed his mind and decided to take the desert route.

Because there were three gods in the past, Sumeru is essentially divided. It is divided into two factions in the desert: the Crimson King faction and the Flower God faction. The Crimson King faction is relatively simple and straightforward, but the tribes of the Flower God faction are disgusting. Moreover, in addition to the desert tribes, the Flower God faction's territory also includes the Town Spirits and Flower Spirits. These are all factors that have led to Sumeru's continued division.

So Li Yue went to the desert and used force to suppress them, unifying the tribes of the Crimson King and the Flower Goddess, and then brought them over to attack the rainforest together. Whether it was the tribes of the Crimson King or the Flower Goddess, they all essentially wanted to live a good life.

The Crimson King's tribe hopes for his return, that he will use his amazing technology to lead them back to the top, while the Flower Goddess tribe hopes to find the Eternal Oasis, then control it in the desert so they can live a good life. Of course, they also hope to have the power to make them superior beings.

However, the Red King could not return, and the Flower Goddess's eternal oasis had not been found. Therefore, Li Yue, in his capacity as the new ruler Aizen, proposed to attack the rainforest so that they could possess it, which they were naturally more than willing to do.

In this situation, the desert people gathered together to achieve unification, and then attacked the rainforest. Li Yue even killed the God of Righteousness in front of them, allowing them to enter Sumeru City.

Then came the part that drove them to despair: Aizen didn't really want to rule them, but rather needed them to die to satisfy his experimental needs.

At this time, the appearance of the Grass God will fill them with anticipation for the Grass God. Especially after the villain Li Yue personally introduced the dark history of the desert people, they will feel guilty towards the Grass God, which will make it easier for Naxida to directly rule the desert in the future.

Of course, Li Yue didn't expect the desert people to be so obedient. If they were, they wouldn't be desert people. So Li Yue let Aizen not die, but simply leave.

With a terrifying boss named Aizen hanging overhead, the desert people have to think about whether they could survive under Aizen's attack without the protection of the Grass God. They are only alive now because the Grass God carried them all.

Meanwhile, the Thousand Rock Army entered Sumeru City at this time to keep the desert people in Sumeru City in line with their own ways. Although they dared not resist Nasida, every desert mercenary lived a life of constant danger. In order to prevent them from clashing with those in Sumeru City who did not respect the desert people, the strength of the Thousand Rock Army was essential.

As for why the Thousand Rock Army was able to occupy Sumeru City, it was naturally because the Grass God Naxida brought them from outside.

These are the people brought back by the Grass God. Does anyone dare to have any objections?

As it turned out, Nasita, who appeared as the hero who saved Sumeru, reached the peak of her prestige in Sumeru City at this time. Whatever she said, the people of Sumeru believed and did, and no one doubted the intervention of the Thousand Rock Army.

Under these circumstances, the post-disaster recovery of the entire city of Sumeru was handled very easily.

Seno and his men took control of the Council of the Sages, and all the sages were captured, while the two sages who had been under house arrest were released.

As the Grand Steward, Elhesen kept the desert people obedient. Under the pressure of the Thousand Rock Army, they dared not cause any trouble, especially the tribes of the Flower God, who were under close surveillance.

After dealing with Sumeru City, Elhesen led the Thousand Rock Army to Kawan Station. With the personal testimony of the various tribal chiefs of the desert, the desert people realized that everything was true and that they had been tricked. Therefore, they chose to surrender to Elhesen and the Thousand Rock Army and hand over Kawan Station.

As for the desert, Elhesen was in no hurry to go because it wasn't the right time. Nasida had also instructed her that she would go there herself when the time came and bring back the remaining people in the desert.

Having completed the incorporation of Kawan Post, Elhesen returned to Sumeru City. Seeing that Sumeru City was now garrisoned by the Thirty-Three Regiment due to the replacement of the Thousand Rock Army, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He spent a week dealing with all these matters. Including the time Li Yue took him around, he hadn't rested for more than ten days. Now he can finally take a break.

However, just as Elhesen returned to Sumeru City and took out his key to open his front door, Seno came knocking on his door.

"Great Sage?"

"Yes, because of your outstanding performance in managing the desert tribes and reclaiming Kawanyi, the Grass God has decided to make you the Great Sage."

Standing at his own doorstep, Elhesen listened to Seno's words with a completely bewildered expression, wondering how he had suddenly become a great sage.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Great Sage, does it? Shouldn't the Great Sage be involved in academic matters? I was just trying to appease the desert people."

“I don’t know either, but after asking for my opinion, the Grass God thinks you are very suitable to be a Great Sage.”

What did you say?

Seeing that Seno was standing with his arms crossed, Elhesen felt that something was wrong.

“I didn’t say anything, I just said you were doing a great job as the chief steward in the desert.”

What a load of rubbish! Is that what I wanted to be?

El-Hysen felt a headache.

"Has the appointment been sent out yet?"

"Not yet. The Grass God only discussed it with me in person; the appointment hasn't been issued yet."

"I'll go talk to the Grass God and tell him that I'm not suitable for the position of Great Sage."

Al-Hysen already found it troublesome enough; he hadn't been able to sleep well for the past ten days or so, so please don't bother him anymore.

"I don't think it's of any use. Once our Little Lucky Grass King has made up his mind, it's very difficult to change it."

"I'll try to figure out how to do it, and even if it's just as a substitute, I'll be an agent. I don't want to be a great sage forever."

Although he longed to rest, in order to prevent himself from becoming a great sage, Elhesen dragged his weary body to the Pure Palace, the residence of the Grass God.

However, just as Elhesen arrived at the gate of the Pure Good Palace and was about to knock, he overheard a conversation coming from inside.

"Lord Aizen, your plan is progressing smoothly. I have successfully taken control of Sumeru and become a god among the Sumeru people."

“Well done, Hinamori. The Sumeru people would never guess that the grass god they worship is actually one of my people.”

"Yes, Lord Aizen, I will handle this well. I have already made preparations for Elheisen's arrangements."

"Ah, Elhesen is an exceptionally talented person. We can't let such a talented person get in the way of our plans, so we deliberately made him the Great Sage. His personality is such that he doesn't want to be the Great Sage, and he will definitely leave the position after a while. In this way, we can openly appoint our own people as the Great Sage without arousing his suspicion."

"As expected of you, Lord Aizen, you understand his personality so well."

"So, all we need to do now is wait for him to come to us, and then you can hand over the position of acting sage to him, Hinamori."

"Yes, Aizen-sama."

"Then, Hinamori, I'm entrusting Sumeru to you from now on. Let's work hard for our shared will."

Hinamori Momo!

Elhesen, standing outside the door, stared wide-eyed. How could he forget this person!

One of the two people who took him away from Sumeru Castle was Aizen, who was always by his side. However, Hinamori Momo disappeared after leaving Sumeru Castle. It turns out that she did not disappear, but disguised herself as the Grass God!

He forgot that Aizen could transform into other people, so what about Hinamori Momo? Hinamori Momo, like Aizen, could summon trees to attack, so could she also transform into someone else, like the Grass God?

Thinking about this, Elhesen felt a sense of dread.

The Grass God summons trees to fight, and Hinamori Momo can also summon trees to fight. If we disregard their different appearances, they are essentially the same person!

Was all of this just a setup? It was all an illusion!

There is no grass god at all; it was a woman named Hinamori Momo who transformed into one!

Now, they have taken control of the very top of Sumeru as the Grass Gods, and next they plan to take control of the higher-ups of Sumeru. The position of the Great Sage is their next target.

Although it's unclear why they did this, it's obvious from what I just heard that they wanted to use Elhesen for this plan. They wanted him to become the Great Sage first, but because of his personality, he didn't like being the Great Sage, so he would take the initiative to find someone else and step down, which would leave the position of Great Sage vacant.

All of this was planned by the other party!

El-Heinz's expression was extremely solemn.

He didn't know what Aizen and Hinamori Momo were planning, but it was definitely not simple. As a Sumeru person, he couldn't let them run amok in Sumeru. He had to find out what their plan was!

Since you don't want me to be the Great Sage, then I must become the Great Sage!

270. The name of Aizen will soon resound throughout many worlds.

[Silly Guy: So, you've now become a Archbishop of Sin?]

[How arrogant! Yes, arrogant indeed! Just like my name, I am now the Archbishop of Arrogance. With the help of my loyal subordinate Reinhard, I have successfully joined the Archbishops of Sin and become the Archbishop of Arrogance. Not only that, I have also mastered the Archbishop of Sloth.]

[A depraved scumbag: What?! How come you're so lucky to have it all?!]

[How arrogant! I always said I'd have a great time in another world, hahaha!]

[This despicable scumbag says: "You were only able to get by because the group admin and others brought people over to help you!"]

[How arrogant! Hmph, getting help from a senior is a testament to my wisdom!]

[How arrogant! Besides, it took me a long time to convince Reinhard to help me. When I joined the Witch Cult, I tried several times before succeeding. In order to choose the optimal path, I even invented a suicide device that would allow me to die instantly without any pain, so that I could rewind time without any pain.]
