Chapter 683

"They have even participated in the Sumeru Grand Sage's God-Creation Project."

"Alhaitham and the others have already petitioned the Sect Master and obtained the right to interfere in Sumeru's internal affairs."

"This is your opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Pulcinella and the others' eyes lit up, and they looked at the Tsaritsa with anticipation.

"Your Majesty, if we solve Dottore and Scaramouche before them, can we also cultivate immortality?"

Captain asked impatiently. The Tsaritsa nodded slightly:

"Compared to Dottore and Scaramouche, you yourselves do not have too many stains, so the Sect Master will not pay too much attention."

"However... regardless, these years you have more or less been accomplices."

"You are also aware that you are somewhat unclean."

"If you want to cultivate immortality, these two scapegoats must die by your hands."

"Remember, only the dead can keep secrets."

The Tsaritsa looked at everyone meaningfully, and Pulcinella and the others exchanged tacit glances.

A moment later, Pulcinella chuckled:

"Of course, Your Majesty. You know that we have always kept our distance from the insidious Dottore and the cruel Scaramouche."

"It's just that, Scaramouche is easy to deal with, but that guy Dottore..."

To be honest, solving Scaramouche was not a big problem.

But Dottore...

They really couldn't beat him.

"Do not worry about this matter."

The Tsaritsa said softly:

"Dottore will naturally be dealt with by cultivators."

"The ones solving the Sumeru problem this time are three existences at the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit. Even if the original Dendro Archon, King Deshret, and the Goddess of Flowers of Sumeru were all here together,"

"they would not be their match."

"You only need to wait for the right moment to intervene."

"Besides that, you also need to use the identity of the Fatui to stabilize the aftermath of the cultivators' actions in Sumeru as much as possible."

"I have already negotiated this matter with Alhaitham and the others; you can just go ahead."

"After the matter is accomplished, I will introduce you to the Sect Master to help you embark on the path of immortality."

As she spoke, the Tsaritsa paused. Seeing the fiery heat erupting in everyone's eyes, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said lightly:

"The great power to live forever and look down upon all living beings..."

"Only by cultivating immortality can one survive in this era of great contention."

"The opportunity is placed before you; whether you can grasp it depends on yourselves."

"I have done what I can; cultivators are not allowed to interfere in secular affairs at will."

"I can only lead you this far; from here on, it depends on you."

Captain stood up and said earnestly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty! We will never let you down!"

The Tsaritsa nodded slightly and added:

"Has anything happened in the country recently?"

"There actually has!"

Pulcinella looked at the Tsaritsa earnestly and said softly:

"Your Majesty, many Foundation Establishment-stage fierce beasts have been born in Snezhnaya recently. However, fortunately, we have already entered the Martial Dao era in advance."

"Coupled with our cooperation with Liyue, we have obtained a lot of fierce beast meat to train our warriors. Currently, the situation is under control."

"In addition, spiritual herbs and treasures have appeared in many places, and I have already sent people to collect them and store them in the palace treasury."

"However... I hear that the speed of the fierce beasts' evolution is extremely fast."

"In Liyue, the interior of Jueyun Karst has already been occupied by fierce beasts at the Refining Essence into Qi stage."

"Currently, no such beasts have come out of the mountains."

"But the situation there is still very tense, and many of our exploration plans have been forced to be interrupted."

"Other than that, the evolution of monsters is within a controllable range, so there are no problems."

The Tsaritsa sighed and said softly:

"This is just the beginning..."

"The Shushan world is evolving into a Great Thousand World, driving Teyvat to evolve into a Small Thousand World."

"According to the expectations of Teyvat's Heavenly Dao, the future will be the golden age of the Immortal-Martial Dao."

"Foundation Establishment-stage fierce beasts will gradually become insignificant."

"Fierce beasts at the Refining Essence into Qi stage, and even demon beasts with intelligence, will compete with humans for the status of the world's protagonists."

"You must make plans early."

Upon hearing this, Pulcinella and the others were suddenly worried.

After all, those were fierce beasts and demon beasts at the Refining Essence into Qi stage. As Harbingers who hadn't started cultivating immortality yet,

what could they use to clash with them?

"Do not worry too much. Head Disciple Zhongli has already begun to deduce the Martial Dao realm beyond the 'Earthly Immortal'. When the new Martial Dao techniques are released, I will send them to you."

"You only need to collect people with good Martial Dao talent in advance and form a Martial Dao army."

"For the resources collected, if they are not too important, prioritize cultivating these martial artists."

"In addition..."

The Tsaritsa took out several jade plates and pushed them lightly into Pulcinella's hands.

"This is a defensive array refined by Head Disciple Venti. Once deployed, it can resist attacks from experts at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi."

"Deploy them in the cities of Snezhnaya."

"I will have Tartaglia and the others send over the spirit stones needed for monthly replacement."

"After persisting for a period of time, you can cooperate with Liyue and other nations to launch a counterattack."

"I hope that in the Teyvat of the great changes to come, Snezhnaya can still stand on the crest of the wave and not be left behind by the era."

"Besides that, you must also start preparing for the handover of some of your work."

"After cultivating immortality, you are not allowed to directly participate in national political affairs."

Pulcinella and the others nodded thoughtfully.

Now, they more or less understood the significance of cultivators to a nation.

They were not allowed to interfere in political affairs because cultivators were too extraordinary; if they managed political affairs, it would be too much of a violation of the rules.

Cultivators should be the foundation of a country, focusing on cultivation. Only when the country encounters trouble that cannot be solved can cultivators be invited out.

They were equivalent to the gods of each nation.

Seeing that they were very interested in cultivators, the Tsaritsa, who rarely came out, simply told them about the matters of cultivating immortality.

Especially the story of the Nine Nether Secret Realm, which made everyone marvel repeatedly and regret that they hadn't joined Shushan sooner.

On the other side, Himeko had already led Theresa and the others toward the Merit Hall.

484. Theresa: Why can't cultivators manage the country?

Theresa was quite curious about the matter of Alhaitham and the others returning to petition Jiang Yan just now.

"Himeko, why does the Sect Master not allow cultivators to interfere in secular political affairs?"

Himeko did not answer immediately, but looked at Theresa and asked in return:

"Then tell me, why do you think cultivators can interfere in secular political affairs?"

Regarding this, Otto shook his head. With his wisdom, he could naturally see the problem with cultivators interfering in political affairs.

But for now, Theresa needed to have some understanding of her own.

"First of all, cultivators have long lifespans. With cultivators interfering in many national affairs and plans, it is naturally more stable."

"Whether it is formulation, execution, or harvest, everything is experienced by cultivators, which is good for the country."

"Secondly, cultivators have powerful strength. If there are any troublesome matters that mortals cannot solve, cultivators can easily solve them."

"Thirdly, as national managers, cultivators would be more trusted by everyone, and many policies would be easier to execute."

"After all, those high-ranking officials wouldn't dare to gamble on whether the cultivator in charge would search their minds, so state affairs would certainly be unprecedentedly transparent."
