After all, Theresa needs to integrate the world as a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how to control the degree of involvement still requires your guidance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otto pursed his lips and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, my dear granddaughter. I naturally don't mind teaching her all my political wisdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Otto looked at Theresa with a slightly solemn gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen, Theresa, integrating the world and conferring gods is not as simple as you managing St. Freya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past, Grandpa could back you up, but not anymore. Ever since we started cultivating immortality, we have gained powerful strength, but at the same time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"we have also shouldered new shackles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa is very happy that you can see the benefits of cultivators managing a country. This proves that little Theresa, you are gradually becoming a qualified leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa is sincerely proud of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa hummed, but it was not hard to see that she was quite happy to be praised by Otto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... as a leader, and a leader with a special status, in everything, you must first look at the disadvantages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theresa, remember this in the future: before you are the Lord of the World, you are first a Shushan disciple, a cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk about the first point you mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otto looked sincere, and Theresa listened obediently. This reminded Otto of the time long ago when Theresa was just born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that day on, his life, which had been completely filled with Kallen, suddenly had another figure he cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family affection...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending upon a sinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa was exceptionally precious to Otto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Otto said from the beginning, Theresa was the most precious gift the world gave him, and it would always be so, no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Kallen was resurrected, Otto had no regrets, and teaching Theresa could be considered fulfilling his duties as a grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivators have long lifespans, but the world does not need a manager with a long lifespan. This point is universal for any world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Human nature cannot withstand the test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After a long passage of time, how can you ensure that you can maintain your original intention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say that Head Disciple Zhongli will always love the people of Liyue, but you must also be clear that Head Disciple Zhongli was still subject to erosion before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will also get tired, and so will you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And in your long life, as you manage the world, how do you ensure that you can remain as devoted to humanity as Headmaster Zhongli, day after day for thousands of years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are, after all, a cultivator, a life form different from mortals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Public opinion, the essential differences in life, etc.—these are all poisons for long-lived beings coming into contact with the mortal world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, you must prioritize cultivating immortality. If you spend a lot of time managing the country, what will Shushan think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still want to cultivate? If one day you watch the mortals who have accompanied you year after year die, will your Dao heart collapse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My granddaughter, although it is cruel to say so, the moment you become a cultivator, you are no longer a mortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and the mortal world already have an insurmountable chasm, just as immortals do not descend to the mortal world, and neither will you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa did not give Otto a hard time and nodded earnestly. She took these words to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondly, the power of cultivators is very strong. For many problems, you might adopt the policy that 'force can create miracles'. If that is what you think, then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otto paused and said in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mortals under your management will also think the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your management, with your protection for hundreds or thousands of years, they will get used to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They will lose their enterprising spirit and rely entirely on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forgive me for being blunt, but such humanity has no need to exist. The brilliance of humanity lies in infinite possibilities, and cultivators can precisely extinguish this possibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last point... as a cultivator, your subordinates will indeed fear you, but remember...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moment a superior leader possesses the ability to kill you at any time and see through your heart,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"your leader is your enemy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, I want to add one more point. Remember, Theresa, you are a Shushan disciple, at all times, you are a Shushan disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a disciple of the top cultivation sect in the cultivation world, if you spend your energy on the mortal world, that will make Shushan a laughingstock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe Shushan will never allow the existence of someone who lowers Shushan’s quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding mortal nations, it must be that they attach themselves voluntarily; there is no possibility of a Shushan disciple personally taking control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you understand, Theresa?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa on the side nodded thoughtfully. Otto was right; she had simply thought about it too simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had been enlightened by Otto, she was much clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Grandpa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then about the matter of conferring gods...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otto smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't Senior Sister Himeko just tell the Sect Master about the matter of conferring gods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All you need to do is integrate the whole world as a cultivator, and then, after doing what needs to be done, let go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a cultivator, you don't need to do everything yourself; the mortal world will naturally follow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is also what Senior Sister Ningguang and the others have been doing. As long as they are cultivators, their nations will not have internal problems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the very least, the advantages of cultivators managing the country that you mentioned just now are not unusable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivators becoming world managers naturally have quality and persuasiveness. In this regard, your status will help you very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa nodded heavily, but her heart was still a bit complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did she understand why her St. Freya had always been child's play in Otto’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her way of thinking was on an entirely different level from Otto’s; she could simply say she didn’t like this system and wouldn’t engage with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Hua was sent to monitor, and Kiana, Mei, and Bronya were arranged clearly by Otto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himeko was even schemed into disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can choose not to play mind games, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why wouldn't you let others play mind games?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, everything was fine now, and Otto would help her watch over future matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theresa didn't feel much pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>485. Ningguang’s Demon Beast Hunting Mission\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himeko originally thought that Otto had just started cultivating immortality and might not know much about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't expect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still underestimated Otto’s wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it carefully, this guy was already terrifyingly smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the Nine-Fold Heart Inquiry and the special constitution—the Poshya Body...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a matter of time before Otto became a powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for a guy like him who was as wise as a demon, there was no possibility of him dying young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he didn't want to live anymore right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was even more impossible; he was now wishing he could live for a very, very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otto, however, was already—eyeing the cultivation resources that Kallen and Theresa needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most a hundred years, Otto would definitely have a spot among Shushan’s top powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good talent is really unreasonable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himeko sighed with emotion. At this moment, she also saw the shadow of the Merit Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stopped talking, got off the Rainbow Bridge, and at a glance, noticed quite a few outer disciples traveling through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be handing over missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not far from the Merit Hall was a floating island, with mist swirling above it, full of immortal style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is Elder Furina’s cave dwelling.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1331,"2026-06-14T06:26:04.599Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7c3f5d445668475651f6241a65518ff3e86886e2f1c0a629cd55a457b775e45e","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-685","genshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-chapter-683",924,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgenshin-establishing-shushan-sect-cultivating-im-cover.jpg"]
