Chapter 657: Wisdom is Only the Means

Villa.

After giving everyone some time to digest, Luo Chen continued to speak.

"Besides these three Q&A examples, there is another item: the Akasha!"

"After the previous reviews, you should all have some understanding of this."

"This is also a crystallization of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's wisdom!"

"Without it, Sumeru would not have been able to resolve the Forbidden Knowledge!"

"At this point, I believe you all have a preliminary understanding of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's wisdom."

"Next, let us continue!"

"Secondly, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's understanding of 'wisdom'!"

"If it were an ordinary person, after possessing such knowledge and wisdom, they might go around showing off!"

"They might continue to endlessly chase after even deeper wisdom!"

"To the point where they might end up on the wrong path!"

"Similar to the current Akademiya!"

"But Greater Lord Rukkhadevata did not!"

"After parting ways with King Deshret, she went to establish her own rainforest."

"Then, she gathered the people who followed her and established the Akademiya!"

"Through the Akademiya, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata passed her wisdom on to the people."

"She believed that the essence of 'wisdom' does not lie in controlling all thought, nor in seeking all benefits!"

"Rather, it lies in being able to allow ordinary lives to eventually attain freedom that transcends their shackles!"

"It is worth mentioning that King Deshret and the Goddess of Flowers' original goals were also this!"

"But they chose Forbidden Knowledge from outside the world!"

"And Greater Lord Rukkhadevata chose to bestow her own wisdom!"

"As for the results, you all know them now."

"The people of the rainforest during the same period lived much better than the people of the desert!"

"Simply put, for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, wisdom is only the means, and life is the purpose!"

"In fact, to a certain extent, the philosophies of the gods of Mondstadt, Does Does Liyue, and Inazuma are the same!"

"Whether it is freedom, contracts, or eternity."

"In essence, they are all for the sake of letting the people of their nations live better lives!"

"They are all a manifestation of the gods' love for humanity!"

"It is just that the methods are different!"

"It is a pity that among the people of Sumeru, those with this kind of wisdom are few and far between."

"In the end, the Akademiya even put the cart before the horse!"

"Abandoning life, they blindly pursued ethereal and illusory wisdom..."

…

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

After all, this was the God of Wisdom's own understanding of wisdom!

Especially the people of Sumeru!

They began to reflect directly!

Reflecting on their own experiences over these years!

Reflecting on the past of the nation of Sumeru and the future shown by the light curtain!

For a moment, they vaguely had a glimmer of realization.

…

Sumeru, Sanctuary of Surasthana.

"Wisdom is the means, life is the purpose!"

Nahida rested her chin in her small hands, lost in thought.

So this was Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's understanding!

Everything was for the sake of allowing ordinary lives to attain freedom that transcends their shackles!

And to achieve all this, one needs to use the means called "wisdom"!

And knowledge is the foundation of all these actions!

Thinking of the deeds of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in the light curtain, she furrowed her brows slightly for a moment.

Then her brows relaxed!

Then she looked puzzled!

Then she was suddenly enlightened!

Until finally, a smile appeared on her face.

Beside her, Lumine saw this and teased her with a smile.

"It seems our student Nahida has learned something incredible this time!"

"I have learned a little."

Nahida smiled slightly.

She only understood it for now.

She was still very far from the step of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's ideal!

But at the very least, she had a preliminary direction and would no longer be lost!

Moreover, the understanding of "wisdom" varies from person to person!

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's understanding might not necessarily suit her!

She needed to follow Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's path to find her own philosophy!

Thinking of this, Nahida was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

Seeing this scene, Lumine and Paimon exchanged a smile, then both clenched their fists to cheer her on.

"Go for it!"
