Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

However, as long as the energy transmission channel is cut off, the so-called God of the Righteous Machine is nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

The stragglers' arm, due to its amputation, was not properly connected, making it their most obvious and vulnerable weakness.

The stragglers' hearts sank; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reconnect to the arm.

In other words, this arm is useless.

Damn it!

He gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ferocious.

Jiang Bai sensed something was wrong.

The scattered soldiers are completely under the doctor's control; if things continue like this, there is absolutely no chance of victory.

He needs to find a way to get the scattered troops to withdraw quickly.

Before he could say anything, the skirmishers launched another attack.

Despite losing one arm, he still has three arms.

A giant spear formed from lightning materialized in his hand, and the lightning and flames that filled the sky transformed into streaks of meteors, engulfing all of the doctor's paths.

The spear swept across, and ice emanated from the doctor's body, freezing the spear inch by inch.

With a wave of his hand, the ice shattered and turned into dust.

Countless water droplets appeared in the sky at some unknown time. These droplets quickly condensed and formed huge bubbles, enveloping the falling lightning and fireworks.

Is that all there is to it?

Several rock patterns quickly appeared in the air, and one rock spear after another locked onto the doctor.

At the same time, the gale transformed into four walls of wind, sealing the doctor inside.

A rift opened in the air, and the blade light I had faced before reappeared.

"If you want me to die here, then keep hitting me!"

Jiang Bai had a smear of blood on the tip of his nose, and his face was as pale as paper.

His condition was already bad; he could only hold on for a little while longer before he probably passed out.

The soldier wanted to say something, to say that he couldn't possibly lose, but seeing Jiang Bai's almost ascended-to-heaven appearance, he swallowed all his words.

Yes, perhaps if this continues, he might be able to defeat the Doctor.

However, if he loses, it will be tantamount to declaring Jiang Bai's death sentence.

He couldn't gamble with Jiang Bai's life on a moment of anger; while he was still in good condition, the sooner he could leave, the better.

The doctor was quite surprised by the sudden attack, as these creatures were not within the capabilities of the skirmishers.

It's like the power used by a cowardly fellow I encountered before.

He narrowed his eyes and temporarily set the stragglers aside.

He wanted to test just how good these attacks really were.

Rock spears and lightning engulfed the doctor, and Jiang Bai, barely maintaining his consciousness, quickly pointed out an escape route to the stragglers.

"Let's go to Liyue!"

He's going to find his real golden thigh.

The massive impact spread outwards, filling the air with smoke and dust, obscuring the doctor's surroundings.

The soldiers looked at the scene as if they wanted to etch it into their minds forever.

He must never let this happen a third time!

Chapter 729 First to Act

Let's go back to when the battle had just begun.

In the city of Sumeru, Nashida stood on a high branch of the sacred tree, watching the battle from afar.

Paimon and Kong stood anxiously by his side.

"How's the situation over there?"

The battle was not as intense as expected. Although the energy fluctuations that escaped were terrifying, the damage caused by these energies was limited to a certain range after the energy clash was eliminated.

"It seems like the Doctor is being passively attacked." Kong struggled to make out the Doctor's small, barely visible figure.

“No, the Doctor is very adept at it,” Nasita offered the opposite opinion.

"Huh? Does that mean the skirmishers will lose?" Paimon suddenly became nervous.

Although they didn't like the stragglers, at least now they were on their side.

Nasita shook her head. "I don't know their strength, so I can't make a judgment."

He paused, then continued, "Let's go. There's no point in staying here any longer. They've given us such a great opportunity; we should go and get the Heart of God."

Now that the Great Sage is nowhere to be found, the Instruction Chamber is in complete chaos, and the Doctor is tied up by the stragglers, it is the perfect opportunity to seize the Heart of God.

Paimon immediately set the skirmishers aside, "Great! I didn't expect we'd get the Heart of God so quickly!"

They were originally on their way to the desert to find the Grand Disciplinary Officer, Seno, but Jiang Bai's sudden incident caused the scattered soldiers to go crazy. Once the scattered soldiers went berserk, all their previous plans were overturned.

However, their original plan was simply to find more helpers, then find a way to stall the Doctor, avoid the Great Sage, and obtain the Heart of God.

Although the first step has not been fully achieved, the latter two steps have been accomplished by the skirmishers.

At times like this, whether or not there's a senior official like Guan Sano to help is no longer important.

Anyway, they never got to see this person from Sino.

"But what about Jiang Bai? How is he now? Should we go find Jiang Bai?"

Paimon suddenly remembered that Jiang Bai's safety had not yet been confirmed.

She suddenly felt terrified.

No way!

No way!

Could the reason the stragglers went mad be because Jiang Bai died?

Her face turned as white as paper instantly, and she clutched the empty clothes tightly.

"Kong...do you think Jiang Bai might...maybe..."

Kong had obviously considered this possibility as well, and his expression turned extremely grim.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Jiang Bai is his closest friend!

If Jiang Bai dies...

No, not possible!

Jiang Bai couldn't have died so easily!

Nasita promptly interrupted their wild thoughts, saying, "Based on my observation of the scattered soldiers, Jiang Bai should be safe by now."

The skirmishers did not attack the doctor directly at the beginning; instead, they deliberately moved the battlefield to the wilderness.

This is definitely not something a person in a frenzy would consider.

Considering the attitude of the stragglers, it seems more like they came to vent their anger and settle scores.

"That's good, that's good..." Paimon patted his chest gently, calming his wildly beating heart.

I almost scared myself to death.

"Where is Jiang Bai now?" Kong wanted to see Jiang Bai more than find the Heart of God.

"It should be in a safe place, but I can't guess where."

"Then let's go get the Heart of God first."

……

Deep within the Institute of the Order, Elhesen brazenly entered a guarded room that normally only had the authority of a Great Sage.

As a scribe, it would be incredibly easy for him to forge a secret decree from the Great Sage.

With the Order House in such disarray, the two gatekeepers wouldn't be in the mood for a thorough inspection.

They would be more than happy to hand over the task of protecting the void.

However, Elhesen did not use conventional methods and did not want people to know that he had taken the Heart of God for the time being.

Silently knocking out the two guards, Elhesen entered the room.

The room was completely silent, with only the void silently revolving.

Looking at this enormous device that recorded all the knowledge of the Church Council since its inception, Elhesen's expression remained completely unchanged.

He had no desire for the void; he preferred learning on his own rather than acquiring knowledge from the void.

However, he is now very interested in gods.

It doesn't mean I want to become a god.

He just wanted to do some research.

How can the Church create a god? Is it merely by virtue of a divine heart?

So, what exactly is contained in the heart of God?

Why is the Little Lucky Grass King still a god even though he has never possessed the heart of a god?

What is the connection between the Heart of God and the Throne of God?

Although this might have violated one of the six deadly sins of the coaching academy, he did not intend to blaspheme.

It's just a matter of borrowing the heart of God to study it, like studying the knowledge that gods can jar.

Sensing the rich grass element contained within, he reached out and grasped a Heart of God.

Looking at the Heart of God, which was no different from a chess piece, Elhesen put it into his pocket and left the Order of the Church without making a sound.

……

"If my information is correct, the Void should be placed here."

Nasita led Kong to the room where the void had been secretly placed.

"Hey! What happened?" Paimon immediately noticed the two guards who had fainted.

“It seems someone beat me to it.” Nasita’s expression turned serious.

To protect the void, to protect the heart of God, the true location of the void can only be known by a very few.

She went to great lengths to obtain information about the location of the void.

They arrived very quickly, but now, someone is even faster than them.

"Let's go in and take a look."

There were no signs of damage in the room, and the void was still in operation.

Nasida sensed it and found that the Heart of God was not among them.

"The Heart of God has been taken away."

The worst thing has happened.

"Oh no! Could it have been taken by the Fatui? What are we going to do now?" Paimon sensed that things were in serious trouble.

Taking back the Heart of God from the Fools will not be an easy task.

“Not necessarily. It’s also possible that someone took it and is protecting it.” Nasita remained calm.

It's an open secret that the Fools covet the Heart of God, so it's quite normal that some people would take it away and protect it beforehand.

“But if that’s the case, there’s no need to knock out the guards.” Paimon felt this didn’t make sense.

After thinking for a moment, Kong thought, "They probably don't want the guards to know who took it. That way, the Fatui won't be able to pinpoint the location of the Heart of God."

His intuition told him that things might not be at their worst yet.

"I can sense fluctuations of grass element here, but they disappear quickly."
