"It's also thanks to you forcing me to retire that I've had the time to gather all the forest rangers together."
"Hmph, do you think you're some kind of good person?" Hazard sneered.
"Whether I'm a good person or not is none of your business. At least I know what I'm doing right now." Güleš also sneered, "Now is the time to settle accounts with you."
"Teacher, thank you for your hard work," Seno said respectfully as he approached.
"Hey, my old bones are still somewhat useful." Julesh waved his hand, then sighed, "If I had revealed the imprisonment of Lord Little Lucky Grass earlier, so many things wouldn't have happened."
“I knew all along, but I pretended not to know. I am also a sinner.”
He dared not speak out because of fear, afraid that the worst would happen to Sumeru, and also afraid of bearing the sin that he could not bear.
It was his cowardice that gradually turned Sumeru into this state.
"teacher……"
“Sino, don’t try to exonerate me. Seeing a crime and not reporting it is the same as harboring a criminal. As the Grand Inspector, you know this better than anyone.” Julech interrupted Sino, saying, “If Lord Little Lucky Grass thinks I am guilty, then I am guilty. Don’t plead for me.”
Sino wanted to say something more.
"Lord Seno, everyone on the list has been caught!" a disciplinary officer shouted as he ran over.
The Sumerian people surrounding the Academy were glaring angrily at the Academy sinners who were surrounded by the 'Gilded Brigade' in the square. The first people they recognized were the Great Sage Azar, the Sage Kavaja, and the tutors, chief scribes, and instructors of the various academies who were second only to the sages. Almost all of them were high-ranking and mid-to-high-ranking members of Sumerian.
"Let me go! I've already said I'm not from the lineage of the Great Sage! I haven't done anything wrong!" A scholar angrily pushed away the gilded troupe members surrounding him, then glared angrily at those being detained by the disciplinary officials: "It's all because of you parasites! It's all because of you! We've all been implicated by you, you bastards!"
"Professor! I didn't expect you to get arrested! It's notorious for professors to steal students' research results, hahaha, I've wanted to report you to the disciplinary committee for a long time, but you and those people teamed up to threaten me!" A young scholar laughed until tears streamed down his face.
"You've finally met your match!"
"It's him! It's him, that guy! He colluded with the Fools to send my child to the lab under the guise of studying, and all my child came back with was a pile of clothes! Kill him!"
More and more Sumeru people angrily recounted their experiences. If it weren't for the disciplinary officers and members of the gilded troupe holding them back, they would have already rushed forward, wishing they could devour those sinners.
[Quiet down, people of Sumeru.]
Nasita's voice rang in everyone's ears, and a verdant light appeared in the square.
The Sumeru people quieted down upon seeing this, staring fervently at the emerald light. Their god emerged from the light, and although the Little Auspicious Grass King was only the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child, the divine power he exuded made them feel incredibly at ease.
They all believed that even if the sky were to fall, the Little Lucky Grass King would be able to protect them.
Naxida addressed countless eyes, saying, "You have suffered for the past five hundred years, my people. I will uphold justice for you."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at the sinners, who were trembling with fear, not daring to lift their heads, their eyes darting away, and some of them were so afraid that they could not even utter a sound.
“Great Sage Azhar, Sage Kavaja, and everyone here.”
"I will not mention the matter of the Great Sage's lineage imprisoning me during these five hundred years."
"I will never tolerate the injustice, exploitation, and oppression of the majority of ordinary people caused by the pursuit of power and personal desires."
"Of course, I will not judge you, but all the Sumeru people will put you to a public trial."
“If the people of Sumeru believe you deserve to die, then you must die; if the people of Sumeru believe you are innocent, then you are innocent.”
"Then, the trial begins! Your fate is in the hands of all the people of Sumeru!" Nasita's voice echoed throughout the entire city of Sumeru.
Everyone in Sumeru City instantly felt the protection and kindness of the gods towards them; their Sumeru gods respected the choices of all Sumeru people.
“So, for each person who is tried, the executioner will be Seno.” Nasita looked at Seno.
"Understood." Seno bowed and said solemnly. As the Grand Disciplinary Officer, he had naturally killed people before and had no objection to it.
“Then, Grand Master of the Sumeru Wisdom Palace!” Seno approached a middle-aged man whose fingers were adorned with ornate rings, pressing the Crimson Sand Staff against his shoulder.
"No, no, no, no!!! I was just managing the library! I'm innocent! I'm innocent! Lord Little Lucky Grass King! I'm not from the lineage of the Great Sage, and I didn't know you were imprisoned!" The Grand Librarian screamed in terror.
“Your crime is colluding with the Fools, receiving a bribe for every child you provide,” Seno said coldly. “Everyone here is guilty. You don’t think your crimes can escape the judgment of God, do you?”
He didn't think the information about the Little Lucky Grass King was wrong. After all, the Little Lucky Grass King was the successor of the Great Compassion Tree King, the 'God of Wisdom,' and could also connect to the 'World Tree,' which stores the memories of the entire world.
"I'm innocent! Those children all have Demon Scale Disease! Or they were abandoned! I was just making use of them! If anyone is guilty, it's the Fools!" the Grand Master of Ceremonies shouted hysterically.
His shouts enraged the Sumeru people, who had finally calmed down a bit.
"Kill him!"
"death penalty!"
"They must die!"
The Sumeru people's anger towards him was like a tidal wave crashing down, terrifying the Grand Master who then screamed hysterically incessantly.
“Then, the death penalty.” Seno raised the Crimson Sand Staff high and brought it down toward the Grand Master’s neck.
"Ahhhhhh..." The Grand Master screamed in terror, his eyes filled with fear of death and a desperate desire to survive.
A crisp click rang out, and the Grand Master's voice came to an abrupt end.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
The Grand Master of Ceremonies was silent, but the screams of the other sinners rose and fell.
"I was wrong! I was wrong! Lord Little Lucky Grass King! I was wrong! Please, please forgive me!"
"I'm willing to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins, please don't kill me!"
"Ahhhhh, I'm still useful! I'm a knowledgeable scholar! I can still contribute to Sumeru! Please let me make amends! Ahhhhhh—"
Next, accompanied by the anger of the Sumeru people and the hysterical screams of the guilty, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out.
The corpses, their necks twisted into strange shapes, were neatly moved aside by the disciplinary officer and placed together. Without exception, all the guilty people here had been sentenced to death by the Sumeru people.
The trial lasted a long time, until evening came and the horizon turned twilight.
"Finally, the great sage Azhar, and the intellectual sage Kavaja." Seno slammed the red sand staff heavily in front of them.
"Hmph..." Hazard snorted coldly, seemingly prepared to die, but in reality, he was numb to the sight of so many people being executed without exception. His pants were already soaked, and a stench wafted over. He had been so frightened that he had soiled himself.
"No, no, no... Lord Little Lucky Grass King!" Kavaja looked at Nasida in despair, who seemed unable to bear seeing death and turned her head away.
"death penalty!!!"
"death penalty!!!"
"death penalty!!!"
The main event began, and everyone in Sumeru shouted in unison, some even raising their hands and waving excitedly.
"Hehehehe, fools, fools! They're all fools!" Hazard shouted in defiance.
"Hazar, death sentence." Seno raised the Staff of Crimson Sand and swung it down.
Snap! Hazard's voice came to an abrupt halt.
He was somewhat numb. There were just too many criminals in the Instructional Council. In the past, investigating these people required a very complicated procedure and a lot of evidence. If certain procedures were missing, they would be released without charge, which made the efforts of countless disciplinary officers go to waste.
But that was before, there was no other way. Most of the laws of Sumeru were established by the lineage of great sages, and the process of sentencing had to be strictly followed. There were too many twists and turns in this process, and countless scholars who committed crimes were exonerated.
“The sage of the Epistemology school, Kavaja, is guilty.”
The last criminal was put on trial, and cheers erupted from the crowd in Sumeru City.
The cheers continued for a long time without stopping until Nasita spoke.
【For the past five hundred years, you, the people of Sumeru, have endured hardship.】
[Next, please spread the word: whether you are a rainforest dweller or a desert dweller, you are all Sumeru people. Sumeru people who are willing to follow me to another world, please head to Sumeru City immediately.]
[A brand new era begins, belonging to the Sumeru people.]
The entire gilded tour group from the desert excitedly began to dance a unique desert dance; this was exactly what they had been waiting for.
The Little Auspicious Grass King treated the desert people equally. They had wandered in the desert for thousands of years without any gods, and the last five hundred years had been their most difficult time.
If the Little Lucky Grass King hadn't been imprisoned five hundred years ago, perhaps the desert people would have already been living the same life as the rainforest people.
His anger toward the recently executed high-ranking members of the Order of the Church intensified.
After the trial concluded, both the Sumerian and Desert people sprang into action. Some members of the Gilded Caravan returned to the desert to inform other tribes, while the Rainforest people quickly traveled along the trade route to Winterfall to bring back everyone on the way.
Jingshan Palace
"Your performance was not bad. At least you know what a god should do, but it was only not bad, not excellent." Luo Sheng looked at Nasita and said calmly, "You barely resemble a god."
He watched from the side the whole time, but Nasita couldn't see him.
He didn't waste the souls of those sinners either. They wanted to enter the ley lines, but they had no chance. They were all sent to "hell" through the "dimensional portal".
After all, a soul like Hazard, who has accomplished the 'great feat' of imprisoning a god, is extremely rare among the demons of hell.
“It is all thanks to your teachings that I was guided to make my decision based on the needs of the majority of ordinary people,” Nasita said gratefully, bowing her head respectfully.
“Yes, in five days, I will open the passage to the new world. Get ready.” As he spoke, Luo Sheng raised his hand and touched Narcida’s head, the extremely familiar touch and warmth spreading to his palm.
This reminded him of the time after Buyer first materialized, a time when he loved to touch Buyer's head and ears.
"Heavens, Lord Tianli?" Nasita trembled, her eyes widening in disbelief. Did Lord Tianli still treat her as an ordinary human little girl?
Adult humans, especially those who have children and have become fathers, also like to stroke a child's head to express approval, love, and affection.
“Yes, Buyer came to my world a long time ago, but back then she was just a wisp of a soul,” Los Saint said with a touch of reminiscence.
"At that time, she looked exactly like you do now."
"Now, she has become a powerful god-king in my world."
"If Teyvat were in that position, it would be roughly equivalent to the 'Supporter of Heaven'."
In fact, Buyer's status is slightly higher than that of the 'Heavenly Ruler'. After all, he is the 'Great Source Spirit' and 'Great Source Ruler' of the many planets in his world, which is half a rank higher than that of a typical powerful god-king.
"You are still too inexperienced as a god. You should learn from Buyer later, so that you can at least become a beacon for a civilization."
After Luo Sheng finished speaking, his figure faded and disappeared in Naxida's astonished gaze.
He was not prepared to grant Nasita the authority to rule a planet.
She is too inexperienced to shoulder the responsibility of upgrading a planet; it's best to let her lead Sumeru's growth.
Moreover, after Sumeru passes away, Ibuyel will definitely take care of Sumeru while nurturing Nasita.
Given Buyer's personality, she would not reclaim the rule of Sumeru. After all, if she did reclaim the rule of Sumeru, then Naxida would really have little significance as a deity of Sumeru, and she would only do her best to cultivate Naxida.
“The Great Tree Queen, she’s not dead…that’s wonderful.” Nasita came back to her senses, her eyes welling up with tears, and she moved her lips slightly: “Great Tree Queen…I have actually…always missed you so much.”
The Great Compassion Tree King, Buyer, is the embodiment of the World Tree, and she is the purest branch of the World Tree that the Great Compassion Tree King broke off.
