Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

She glanced sideways at the doctor.

“My method allows people to easily close the gap with God. The gap that you spent hundreds of years narrowing can now be reached or even surpassed simply by sacrificing your useless flesh. How could I possibly give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

The doctor's face was expressionless. After a moment of silence, he said, "But now the crucial materials are gone, and our forces on Inazuma's side have been completely wiped out. No new materials will be delivered. What do you plan to use to make up for it?"

Sandonne said confidently, "If there's really no other way, I'll just use ordinary materials as a substitute. The advantage of my design is that any part can be replaced at will. Once I become a god, do you think there's any material I can't obtain?"

Just then, Riku was brought before the Doctor and the puppet by the scholars of the Fools.

A murderous aura immediately enveloped the doctor, who demanded, "Who is he? Why is there a stranger here?"

"He said he was the lady's man and had a lot of crystallized bone marrow that he could give to us."

"Madam?" the doctor sneered. "How can you prove it?"

Lu Sheng took out the mask that the woman had given him.

"Oh? It really is her stuff." The doctor's murderous intent gradually faded, but he still didn't have a good look on his face. "What does this have to do with her? Daring to meddle in my affairs, does she want to die? Before I kill anyone today, she'd better disappear from my sight."

"Wait!"

Sandonne suddenly interrupted the doctor, looking expectantly at Lu Sheng, "You said you have a lot of crystallized bone marrow? Is that true?"

"Of course. Although the stragglers died at Inazuma, my lady managed to retreat successfully, and when she left, she even took all the remaining crystallized bone marrow with her."

It's not just about acquiring everything; now he has all of Orobas's remains in his hands. If he wants to create a god, he can even bring Orobas back to life.

The doctor coldly reminded him, "Sandonie, you don't believe him so easily, do you? Don't you think about it? Why would a lady kindly give you something?"

“No, no, no, it wasn’t the lady who asked me to come.” Lu Sheng shook his head. “I came on my own behalf.”

"Hmm? Interesting. Why?"

The PhD student finally showed some interest.

Lu Sheng replied, "People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. My reason for delivering this gift is simple: you are merely the eighth seat, while the two standing before me are the seventh and the second seat, respectively. I have no objection to being subordinate to you, but I would have a much brighter future under your command."

Sumeru Chapter: Chapter 103: Borrowing Your Head

"Aren't you really afraid that woman will freeze you into an ice cube? As far as I know, she has a rather shrewish temper among all the fools."

No sooner had the doctor finished speaking than Sandonne couldn't hold back any longer.

"Don't worry, as long as you can provide assistance, I guarantee I can transfer you to work under me. What is your position with the lady? Advance team? Or debtor?"

"He is a debtor."

"Hmph, so you're just a lowly debt collector. No wonder you're dissatisfied with that woman. Come to me, I'll make you the team leader. Don't worry, with the Doctor here, that woman won't dare to do anything to you."

The doctor's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, glanced furtively at Sandonne.

How did you end up dragging yourself into this mess?

However, what she said wasn't wrong. Although Rosalyn had a fiery personality, she had to become an obedient bitch in front of her.

Lu Sheng grinned happily and said, "I knew my choice was right. That woman is all looks and no brains. She doesn't know how to use people. I wasted my talents under her! Alas~ I have a lot of abilities but I can't use them to share the Empress's burdens."

"Hahahaha! You will absolutely not regret becoming my disciple! Do you see that colossal statue?" Sandone pointed at the divine body excitedly, "Magnificent, isn't it? Shocking, isn't it? That's my masterpiece! Before long, you will no longer be the executor's subordinate, but a servant of the gods!"

Before Lu Sheng could even finish eating the pancake, Sandone eagerly moved closer to him, her eyes brimming with longing, like a thirsty mother wolf.

"So how much bone marrow is there? Where is it stored? Bring it here quickly!"

Due to a lack of materials, the construction of the divine body has been delayed for a long time, exceeding the original estimated timeframe.

Left with no other choice, Sandone had to compromise and use inferior materials, even if it would leave her divine body incomplete, but she had no other option.

The defeat of the Fools in Inazuma had a huge impact; it could be said that they lost both their wife and their army.

Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant; the intelligence network was eradicated, and the spies either died or fled.

Even the raw materials that were originally very cheap have been cut off from supply.

At this critical moment, a large batch of crystallized bone marrow was suddenly delivered.

This isn't just adding flowers to brocade, it's providing charcoal in the snow!

The path to godhood was so close that Sandonne had almost lost the ability to think rationally.

"Wait a minute!" The doctor sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped the already crazed Sandone, coldly saying to Lu Sheng, "Such an important matter cannot be taken at face value. How am I supposed to know if you were sent by the lady as an undercover agent to sabotage things?"

Damn it, Doctor! Are you trying to ruin my plans?

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and said aggrievedly, "Sir, if you doubt me like this, I have nothing to say. Just pretend I was never here today."

"Of course I should have my doubts. Anything in this world that doesn't make sense is worth questioning, isn't it? Your reasoning is indeed very convincing, but talking about it only stays on the surface. If you want to go further, you have to show some sincerity and prove it with concrete actions."

The professor's words were clearly a hook; he was already waiting for Lu Sheng to ask how he needed to prove his statement.

Following his lead, Lu Sheng asked, "How can I prove it?"

The doctor said calmly, “It’s very simple. You should know that the Council of the Church has six major schools of thought. Five of them are already under our control. The remaining one, the Biophysical School, refuses to cooperate and openly opposes us. I don’t have time to deal with those flies, so I need you to take care of them. That sage Nafis and his student Tinari.”

Upon hearing the name of the biophilosophy school, Sandonne's eyes revealed extreme disgust.

She revered dolls and viewed flesh and blood as a burden.

Those who advocate the theory of life revere nature, believe that all things have spirits, and regard life as the highest ideal.

The two have completely different ideologies and are inherently hostile.

Not to mention the fact that the pro-life faction led the opposition to the god-making plan, claiming that it was a desecration of life and a disrespect for the gods.

They don't understand anything at all!

If humanity wants to rebel against the rule of nature, it must abandon its fragile and useless physical body!

The more they revere life and the more they worship nature, the more unscrupulous those gods can be in trampling on their heads.

Why was Kanria destroyed?

It was because the people of Kanria realized the truth of flesh and blood suffering that they abandoned their faith in the gods and devoted themselves to the study of technology, eventually creating powerful creations that were able to shake the rule of the gods!

Sandogne has always considered Rhein-Dörgüe as his target.

She firmly believed that when her doll-making skills reached their peak, they would not be inferior to creations made of gold.

“That’s right! Those people are so hateful! I’ve wanted to kill them all for a long time. They keep chanting slogans about nature and life, but they can’t even handle the Dead Zone and the Demon Scale Disease. They’re no different from a bunch of primitive people living in the mountains. Go and kill them for me, consider it your pledge of loyalty. Oh, and that clerk named Elhesen, he’s also one of the hidden opponents. Go and kill him too.”

“Okay.” Lu Sheng readily agreed. “I will send over the materials, and I will also kill the people for you. I hope that you two will accept me sincerely when the time comes.”

After saying that, Lu Sheng turned and left.

Watching the other person's retreating figure, Sandonne asked the doctor with some uncertainty, "Why go through all that trouble? I was almost able to get the materials by tricking them into handing them over."

The doctor smiled faintly, "What does it matter? Now we have the materials, and we can use them to eliminate potential threats. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? People like him who will stop at nothing to climb the ladder are the easiest to exploit."

Upon hearing this, Sandoni's lips curled into a faint smile.

Unlike dolls, humans, setting aside their useless physical bodies, are generally quite fascinating.

Ninety percent of the brilliance lies within the human heart.

After leaving Jingshan Palace, Lu Sheng returned to his secret base without stopping and began assigning tasks to his subordinates.

“Victor, you were once a student of the Faculty, so you are familiar with the Faculty and were responsible for secretly transporting crystallized bone marrow to the factory.”

“Zoe Boy, you and your brother continue to monitor the puppet and the Doctor’s every move. It would be best to find out exactly how many Doctors are in Sumeru City.”

"Norman, you should go back to the Grand Bazaar and disguise yourself as a waiter. Keep a close eye on a dancer named Nilu and find out her sleeping schedule."

"The rest of you, follow the Divine Child."

Rikuo looked around and saw Shinko huddled in a corner reading a light novel. He quickly walked over and snatched the book from her hands.

"Get to work, Lord Chief."

The divine child frowned. "What do you want me to do?"

“There’s an organization called the Life Theory Faction in the Council of Fathers. Go and take care of them.”

You want me to kill innocent people?

The goddess resolutely refused such a thing. She could take action if enemies attacked, but it was impossible for her to take on unarmed scholars.

"Who told you to kill someone? Do you know how to control people? Do you know how to kidnap people? As long as you can silence the person in charge of this organization, your mission is complete."

Upon hearing that no killing was required, the divine child accepted the mission.

"And what about you? What are you going to do?"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, "Of course I have my own goals, you just need to mind your own business."

He then emphasized to his subordinates again: "Attention everyone! No matter what happens, do not wear a running void terminal!"

"understand!"

Everyone answered in unison, their voices perfectly in tune.

Everyone knows that "The Fool" is a carefree person, but if he emphasizes something, it must be a matter of life and death.

Before setting off, the Divine Child asked Rikuo curiously, "You're not really planning to help the Order Institute create a false god, are you? I've always thought you were an unpredictable man, but this time, in order to please that puppet and the Doctor, you didn't hesitate to give away a large amount of precious crystallized bone marrow and even volunteered to become their tool to do things for them. To be honest, I don't understand, and I look down on you a bit."

"Really? I'm so sorry to disappoint you."

Seeing that the other party remained calm and collected even when being scolded, the divine child became suspicious and asked again, "Tell me honestly, are you up to something again?"

Lu Sheng gave a mysterious smile, "Guess."

Alright, the Divine Child is now certain that this kid is brewing something big.

Now I can relax and just wait to see what the big show is about.

After some time, the outskirts of Sumeru City transformed into a city wall.

"It's bandaged up now. Remember to be careful next time you're in the wild."

Tinari, who has long ears, carefully helped the pink-haired lady in front of him bandage her wound.

Just now, Tina was picking herbs in the woods not far from Huacheng Guo when a young lady suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She tripped over a vine and fell to the ground, scraping her delicate skin.

As a forest ranger, Tinari responsibly took the young lady back to Huacheng Guo's home for treatment.

The pink-haired young lady was quite attractive, and her every move exuded charm as she asked softly, "Young man, you are so gentle. May I ask your name?"

“My name is Tinari, and I am the forester here. You can just call me Tinari.”
