Genshin Impact, Teyvat's own beloved immortal.

Lu Sheng walked up to the doctor, reached out and took off his mask, wanting to appreciate the doctor's impotent rage in his eyes.

He said calmly, "Dottore, I order you to destroy all the slices."

Sumeru Chapter: Chapter 113: Hagi Mushroom King

"Yes...yes..."

Despite trying every possible method, the doctor was still unable to break free from the control of that unknown force over his body.

He even unconditionally agreed to the other party's request to destroy all the slices.

As a slice of his prime, he has the ability and the authority.

And he did just that.

In an instant, the doctor's mind was filled with all sorts of curses and accusations, the resentment and anger of the slices from different periods being destroyed for no reason.

The doctor was berated by his past self at different times, and those voices became fewer and weaker until they could no longer be heard.

He could no longer perceive the existence of any of the slices.

The doctor's anger reached its peak.

The existence of the slices has always been his trump card, a secret method for achieving true immortality.

Making slices requires countless precious materials and a great deal of effort.

That was my greatest and most satisfying work.

And yet, it all just went to waste, like a joke?

"Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do by disguising yourself as one of the Fools?"

The doctor asked the question that had been troubling him the most; the only thing he could control was his mouth.

“Who I am is not important, nor is my purpose,” Lu Sheng replied. “But your existence is a great source of trouble for me. You are intelligent, cunning, despicable, and unscrupulous. You are an extremely dangerous person who will pose a threat to me sooner or later. Rather than waiting for you to make thorough preparations and devise a plan to hinder me in the future, it is better to get rid of you as soon as possible. This is called being prepared for a rainy day.”

"I don't understand, what exactly are you pursuing by doing all this?"

Lu Sheng: "It's very simple. Once everything in this world that can threaten me disappears, my goal will be achieved."

Doctor: "Heh, I see. So I'm the one you see as a threat? Should I feel honored?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "But you need to think carefully about the price of killing me. I am the second-in-command of the Fools. The Fools will not tolerate losing me as they would losing an ordinary executor. Eliminating one threat will only bring more threats. Do you think it's worth it?"

Lu Sheng had anticipated the professor's response and calmly replied, "Don't worry, no one will know what happened here today."

"The Fools conspired with the Order of the Church to plot a coup. The Seventh Seat Puppet and the Second Seat Doctor clashed with the Grass God and both died tragically. How delightful that sounds!"

Lu Sheng dared to say that because he was absolutely certain.

Those who came to the factory today were all high-ranking members of the five major factions of the Church, but they had all been wiped out by Sandonne's puppets and the Fools.

The Great Sage Hazard sealed off the factory, and no one else, except those inside, will know what happened inside.

As for those surviving fools, Lu Sheng certainly wouldn't let them leave alive.

"Was this also part of your plan?"

The doctor finally realized that the reason his slices hadn't arrived at the factory in time was definitely because of him!

"alright, you win."

The PhD student sighed with relief and accepted his defeat with equanimity.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I need to tell you, which might be good news for you," Lu Sheng suddenly told the Doctor. "I burned the World Tree."

The doctor was momentarily surprised, but the next second his body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

This is called caring for centenarians, ensuring that Lao Bo doesn't leave with regrets.

I helped him realize his dream; I was indeed too kind.

One second they were secretly praising themselves for their kindness, the next they suddenly revealed their true colors and swiftly dealt with the fools who witnessed everything.

Throughout the entire ascension ceremony, everyone, big and small, died, leaving only Lu Sheng alive.

Outside Sumeru City, the members of the Life Theory School were still entangled with the Doctor when the Doctor suddenly started cursing and ranting for a few minutes, and then miraculously disappeared on his own.

The bewildered sage and Elhesen couldn't care less about anything else. They led their men into the Pure Good Palace to settle scores with the Great Sage, but the Great Sage had already vanished without a trace, as had the core figures of the five major schools.

Everyone realized the gravity of the situation, and they ventured deep into the academy, where they discovered evidence of collusion between the Great Sage and the Fools.

Finally, they found the factory that created the gods, opened the closed gates, and were shocked by the horrific scene before them.

The sages, mentors, and other elites of the five major schools were all killed, and the losses suffered were essentially equivalent to erasing the five major schools from the Order of the Church.

The sage Nafis found the body of the great sage Azar amidst the bloodstains.

He was stabbed in the back in a vital spot, and judging from his appearance, he was still filled with resentment until the moment he died.

"How could it come to this! How could it come to this!"

Nafis was heartbroken. Even though he disagreed with the other five schools of thought, they were still part of the Academy. Before the disagreement arose, they were all outstanding students taught by the old sage, and they were once fellow disciples who studied difficult problems and debated them passionately all night long!

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! If I had stood up and stopped Hazard sooner, this tragedy wouldn't have happened!"

Nafis was filled with remorse and wept bitterly while holding Hazard's body.

Seeing her teacher's state, Tina felt sorry for her and comforted her, "Teacher, don't be too sad. Such a tragedy is something none of us Sumeru people wanted to see. We should first find out what happened here, find the murderer, and seek justice for our classmates."

"The Great Sage is dead, and the sages and mentors of the other five major schools are also dead. The only one left to lead the Order of the Church to continue is you, teacher."

Nafis shook his head in frustration upon hearing this, saying, "Tinari, you can't understand how I feel. You're right, the Council of the Church needs someone to step up and take charge, but that person shouldn't be me."

He continued, "The reason I joined the biophilosophy was that I didn't want to get involved in the complicated political quagmire. I'm a simple person, without such thoughts and ambitions. I just want to study plants, trees, and wild animals in the wild. I'm not cut out to be a manager. In this situation, only Secretary Elhesen can take on this important task."

“Erhesen…”

Tina turned to look at Elhesen and found him standing blankly on the platform, looking up at a giant statue.

"That is?!"

Tinali couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He'd seen that colossal statue before! Just now on his way to Jingshan Palace!

He didn't see it with his own eyes; rather, the image of the colossal statue was automatically transmitted into his brain.

Not only Tinari, but all Sumerians wearing Void Terminals saw the same scene.

He is the God of Mount Sumeru!

This information was just implanted into the brains of every Sumeru person.

Gazing upon the body of a god, Tinari felt for the first time the insignificance of himself as a mortal.

Suddenly, the god opened his eyes.

The overwhelming sense of oppression made everyone feel suffocated.

Their faces were filled with fear and unease, and those who wanted to escape were unable to move their bodies as if they had been frozen in place.

No one knows what this newborn god will do.

What kind of temperament does He have? Is He an enemy or a friend? Does He acknowledge the people of Mount Sumeru?

All this is unknown.

If it turns out to be an evil god, then Sumeru will be in grave danger.

"People of Mount Sumeru! Your Emperor has arrived!"

Lu Sheng hid inside the Sixth Heaven Demon King's divine body and used his deep, holy voice to convey information to everyone.

This shout terrified the timid Sumeru people, who all knelt down in worship.

"Stand up! No kneeling!" Lu Sheng shouted. "My people do not need to kneel before me! Each of you is free."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, bewildered.

"I'll make you stand up!"

With a powerful shout, all the young men from Sumeru stood at attention.

"We will not regard you as the god of Mount Sumeru until we find out the truth!"

Suddenly, Al-Hysen shouted loudly, attracting God's attention.

"Tell us first what exactly happened here? Where is our little Lucky Grass King?"

Lu Sheng said with great sorrow, "Little Lucky Grass King...she has perished!"

The fall of a god would cause a national uproar in any other country, but it was different in Sumeru.

Upon hearing the news of the Little Auspicious Grass King's demise, most of the Sumeru people only felt a slight pang of sorrow, and then, nothing more.

Developing feelings for something requires gradual exposure and interaction.

Little Auspicious Grass King was imprisoned from beginning to end by the sages of the Academy of Teachings. The Sumeru people never even saw her, so how could they have any feelings for her?

Their affection for the earlier Great Tree King far surpassed that for the Little Lucky Grass King.

After all, everyone learned the story of the Great Tree King when they were in school. It was the Tree King who invented a machine that could turn seawater into fresh water and established a dreamlike kingdom in the rainforest, which led to the existence of Mount Sumeru today.

Little Lucky Grass King? Who's Gou Ba? I'm really not familiar with him.

"The executors of the Fools, together with your great sage, wanted to overthrow the regime of Sumeru and strip the gods of their authority. The Little Auspicious Grass King fought desperately, resulting in a stalemate and her near death. Since one of the seven kingdoms needed to be in power, she gave me the authority of the gods before she fell, granting me life, wisdom, and divine power."

"I am the third generation of grass god of Sumeru, the Hagi Mushroom King."

Lu Sheng didn't know how he came up with such a divine name; he just blurted it out in a moment of impulse.

Al-Hysen was somewhat unconvinced and asked again, "Why should we believe you? And how can you prove that what you're saying is true?"

Lu Sheng replied, "The two Fools who were the culprits are both dead. One was called Puppet, and the other was called Doctor. The battle between Little Lucky Grass King and them affected the entire factory and killed everyone. Indeed, no one can testify for me."

“But I can show you the authority I have inherited.”

Al-Hysen: "How do you prove it?"

"I have already resolved the dead zone of Sumeru and the incurable Demon Scale Disease with my divine power."

Lu Sheng knew one thing well: no amount of empty words could compare to a tiny bit of tangible benefit.

As a new god, throwing out such heavyweight good news directly will surely earn him a lot of gratitude.
