Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Life there must be so exciting..."

"You're not bad either..."

Moonlight shines on the earth as two travelers from a foreign land walk along a forest path, sharing secrets unknown to most.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Chapter 690 A Unique Honor

The leaves between the trees were blown up and slowly drifted into the water, splashing ripples across the reflection of the full moon.

Far away in the Instruction House, a bird trapped in a cage can only look up at the full moon by relying on the bodies of others.

"The moon is full again..."

She sat on a bench on a quiet night street, her legs swinging unconsciously.

In this quiet night, there's no need to worry about anyone noticing Catherine's unusual behavior.

"The moon waxes and wanes, the sun rises and sets countless times, and before we know it, 500 years have passed..."

For the past 500 years, she has been trapped in the Pure Goodness Palace, only able to reach out a little bit of the world through the Void Terminal.

She didn't find this kind of life difficult to endure, but she occasionally felt lonely.

Once she grows into a god with sufficient wisdom, her people will be able to accept her...

These expectations provided the motivation and direction for her long journey, as she diligently studied how to become a wise deity.

Meanwhile, within the Academy of Teachings, the highest institution of learning in Sumeru and also the highest authority, a campaign to "create a god" has already begun.

A skirmisher, his body riddled with tubes, dangled in the air, his head bowed, his clothes hanging loosely.

It's like a prey already bound by a spider web, ready to be devoured at any moment.

The severed arm had been repaired, and no abnormalities could be seen under the clothing.

Behind him, in that vast and expansive space, the conduit binding him was connected to a massive mechanical weapon shrouded in mist.

Tap, tap, tap...

The sound of metal boots hitting the ground was exceptionally clear in the quiet space, allowing the skirmishers to instantly identify who had arrived.

He stood in front of the skirmishers, the bird-beak mask on his face not obstructing his vision.

He admired and watched the massive mechanical armament behind the skirmishers.

"What a beautiful creation..."

"It's a pity your left arm was broken. The repaired left arm isn't as smooth as the original, so this divine body isn't perfect..."

The doctor spoke, his tone revealing undisguised regret.

"Humph."

The stragglers glanced at him, then turned their heads away disdainfully.

With his eyes slightly lowered, he once again thought of the person who had given him the Heart of God.

After obtaining the Heart of God, he left Inazuma.

This was his heart, and he didn't want to hand it over, so he didn't return to Zhidong.

The doctor found him.

He put forward a magnificent idea that would make him a god.

He agreed without any hesitation.

His creator had no expectations of him anymore; he was just a wandering, lonely ghost in the world.

He hated his own weakness and his own powerlessness.

Become a god, for only a god can protect those who wish to be protected.

Only a god could make the general who severed his arm with a single blow bow his head.

Only by becoming a god could he prove that woman wrong.

His scattered troops were never discarded failures!

I really look forward to seeing Jiang Bai see what he looks like as a god.

Was it shock, excitement, or surprise?

He will have divine protection and this unique honor.

"Tell me where your left arm is, and I'll go get it."

"It's with Thor, go get it."

"Tsk, disobedient little doll... What a pity, it should have been a perfect divine body..."

The doctor came and went inexplicably.

Without thinking much, the stragglers closed their eyes again.

……

He transformed into Guo.

The people from the Order of the Church arrived as scheduled.

Surprisingly, among those who arrived this time was a sage.

Just as Tina was surprised by the Church's high regard for Jiang Bai, he saw the sage walk directly toward him.

"Lord Cavajra, you actually came in person."

"I've come to invite you back to the Order House."

Tina was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding when he had gained such influence that a sage would personally come to invite him.

"I am truly sorry to have troubled you to come in person, but I am merely a forest ranger and do not seem to be able to help a leading figure in the field of epistemology like you."

Cavaja smiled kindly, "Is it because your previous letter rejected your mentor outright, causing this wise man of the life theory to lose face, that I came on his behalf?"

Tinari frowned inwardly, but put on a look of sudden realization.

This is certainly not something his teacher would do, given his personality.

"I see. I thought that with my teacher's temper, he would definitely come and scold me in person before he would stop."

Kavaja smiled, then said seriously, "Tinari, your mentor is also involved in this project, and he needs your help now."

"What does the teacher need me to do for him?"

"You'll know when you go to Sumeru City."

How long will it take me?

"It's not certain yet."

Tina remained silent for a long while, then sighed softly in her heart.

"...Are you saying that even though you came to Huacheng Guo in person, you still couldn't answer all the questions I asked the teacher in my previous letter?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't give you the answer you want. Compared to the Order of the Fathers, they need me more here."

"Tinari, don't you think your reasoning is just evading the real issue!"

The scholar standing beside Cavaja couldn't stand it any longer. Looking at Tinari before him, his tone was filled with indignation, and also with a deep-seated jealousy.

The person in front of him was still so outstanding that he was personally invited by two sages. How could he not be jealous?

"You should know that staying here is only a temporary solution. What you can do in Sumeru City will determine whether the entire World Tree can be healed!"

"Feel sorry."

Tina Li apologized, but refused to say anything more.

He was now certain that the project to heal the World Tree had serious problems, and might have even violated the six major sins of the Council of Religion, which was why such strict secrecy was necessary.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

Cavajra raised his hand, and the scholar beside him wanted to say something more, but could only shut his mouth and remain silent.

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to, then forget it. What about that child with amnesia?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get him."

Tina turned and went back to her room.

Jiang Bai inside the room looked pale and weak. This wasn't an act; it was a lingering effect of connecting with the World Tree yesterday, and his mental strength hadn't fully recovered.

"The Sage of the Order of the Church has come in person. This project is probably not simple. You must be extra careful after you get to the Order of the Church!"

"Yes, I know what I'm doing."

Tina brought Jiang Bai, who was pale-faced, to the sage.

“I call him Ah Bai. He can’t remember a lot of things now.”

Chapter 691 Void Terminal

Kavaja carefully looked Jiang Bai up and down. His hair was gray and his expression was kind. Even with such a scrutiny, no one felt offended.

"Child, do you remember what you did before you lost your memory?"

"I think I saw a very big, beautiful tree. I touched it, and then I don't remember anything..."

Upon hearing that the person in front of him had indeed come into contact with the World Tree, Cavaja became even more amiable.

"Poor child, come with us, we'll find a way to help you regain your memory..."

"Really?" Jiang Bai's expression was a mixture of joy and fear, perfectly portraying a person who couldn't remember anything and was filled with fear and anxiety.

Tina inwardly praised his acting skills and felt relieved.

Now there's no need to worry about Jiang Bai suffering a loss in the Academy.

"Did he come to Mount Sumeru alone? Did he have any friends traveling with him?" Kavaja asked Tinari.

Tinari shook his head. "When I found him, he was all alone, and there were still burnt-out spirit incense sticks nearby. His clothes were in the Liyue style, so I judged that he must have come from Liyue."

Kavaja pondered his words for a moment, and nodded after confirming there were no loopholes.

"Then we'll take him away."

The slime-like creature in the pocket tried to peek out, but Jiang Bai reached out and pressed it back down.

Tina watched Jiang Bai ride away in his camel-drawn cart until he was completely out of sight. Only then did Kong and Paimon peek out from the house behind them.

"They're gone."

Are you all ready to set off too?

"Ah."

"I'll write you a letter of introduction. You can consult this researcher from the Life Theory School if you want to inquire about anything. Also, you should receive something when you enter Sumeru City..."

"what?"

"The Void Terminal is a tool created by the Council of the Order using the legacy left by the Great Tree King. Some say it is the cornerstone that made Mount Sumeru a true city of wisdom."

......

The camel cart swayed and rocked, but its journey along the forest path was relatively smooth, though slow.

Kavaja sat in the camel cart, chatting casually with Jiang Bai as if it were nothing.

The project to heal the World Tree is of great importance, and he needs to confirm that the person in front of him has truly lost his memory.

"Child, what do you remember about yourself?"

Jiang Bai scratched his head. "I can't remember anything. Even my name was chosen for me by Tina Li."

Jiang Bai touched the Eye of God hanging on his body. "But I think I should be an adventurer, otherwise I wouldn't be alone in the wild."

Cavaja's gaze also fell on the Eye of God on him, and he felt that his guess that he was an adventurer was pretty much correct.

Adventurers are indeed a group of people who like to travel around, especially those who are skilled.

As the camel cart approached Sumeru City at dusk, Jiang Bai made no attempt to hide his amazement at the enormous tree that supported the entire city.
