Chapter 305

【Jean】: So, Mr. Venti, you admit it yourself... (Jean. Bitter smile)

【Venti】: What are you saying? This is what I call freedom. If I want to work, I work; if I don't, I just slack off! (Venti. Leisurely)

【Nahida】: Is this the reason why Greater Lord Rukkhadevata fell...? (Nahida. In deep thought)

【Paimon】: Come to think of it, I suddenly feel that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was so wronged... She was doing just fine in the rainforest, yet she had to clean up King Deshret's mess, and cleaning up his mess

was one thing, but she even had to sacrifice herself in the process. (Covers face)

【Nilou】: The reward for this video must be a single-line history integration, please, please, please!!! (Klee. Begging you)

【Collei】: It must be a single-line history integration!! (Klee. Begging you)

【Kaeya】: I support this. Such a good god shouldn't have fallen like that!

【Seeing Zhongli】: Based on the thoughts of King Deshret and the Goddess of Flowers, the ideals of the three ancient gods of Sumeru were quite good; at least their starting points were sound. It's just a pity about the process.

Speaking from a universal rational perspective, the busier they were, the more it caused humanity to regress. Instead of researching forbidden knowledge, it would have been better to just let go; perhaps humanity would have created its own brilliance.

【Gu Chen】: What kind of Chongzhen behavior is this? (Funny)

【Venti】: Who is Chongzhen? (Keqing. Questioning)

【Gu Chen】: He was someone whose busyness only caused his empire to collapse faster. But his intentions were good, and he was diligent in governance. His only flaws were a lack of talent and insufficient

vision. (Shrugs)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Looking at it this way, King Deshret really does resemble him a bit. (Covers face)

【Dehya】: Can I spread what Apep said? I want more desert people to wake up.

【Apep】: Whatever.

【Dehya】: Thank you! (Dehya. Sends flowers)

【Collei】: A considerable portion of the desert people still believe in King Deshret, firmly convinced that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata killed him. Plus, the sand-protecting wall seems to isolate the rainforest

from the desert, so... that portion of the desert people has become increasingly prejudiced against the Akademiya and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. I never imagined the truth was like this. (Paimon. Shocked)

【306-22】 【Dehya】: But it still needs to be said: some people in the Akademiya really don't act like humans. (Sweating)

【Dehya】: But it still needs to be said, some people in the Akademiya really don't act like human beings. (Sweat)

【Tighnari】: On that point... it is indeed true. (Tighnari. Shocked)

【Kaveh】: The plot has begun!

In the video.

The scene shifts to the endless sea of sand.

A woman whose beauty could not be concealed even by a veil wanders through the endless desert.

She wandered in the desert for seventy-two nights.

Her magnificent and noble form was battered and broken; her heels were worn raw by the ruthless sand, and clear springs flowed from her wounds, turning into boundless streams.

Just as Apep said, the streams irrigated green gardens, from which grew water lilies as blue as the night.

The water lilies are the mothers who nurture the Jinni; the Jinni are born from intoxicated dreams and the bitter memories of loss.

【Kaeya】: So it really is like that.

【Shikanoin Heizou】: I just don't know how much change Mr. Gu Chen will bring. Hmm, thinking of the theme and keywords, I have a bad feeling about this!

(Tighnari. Shocked)

【Collei】: Please, don't bring that up. (Amber. Don't!)

At Gu Fu.

While watching the Goddess of Flowers wander, Lumine took off her shoes, stared at her own feet for a while, and said, "Why is it that when her wounds were worn raw, clear springs flowed out instead of blood?"

"Is there a possibility that because of the difference in race, what you think is a clear spring is actually her blood?" Gu Chen shrugged.

"That's true, too."

Lumine was stunned for a moment, then felt it made sense. She kicked off her shoes, put her feet on Gu Chen, and said with a subtle expression, "The Goddess of Flowers has such beautiful jade feet... and she's injured, looking so pitiful."

【306-42】 Gu Chen was startled for a moment, then laughed, "I have plenty of things to be busy with in the video, and I don't even know the Goddess of Flowers is wandering. Even if I knew, I don't know what would happen."

Gu Chen paused for a moment, then laughed, "I still have plenty of things to be busy with in the video, and I don't know that the Flower Goddess is wandering. Even if I did know, I don't know what would happen."

"You better be." Lumine rolled her eyes.

Having slept in the same bed for so long, Lumine knew exactly what kind of person Gu Chen was.

"The Goddess of Flowers doesn't seem to have much screen time."

Paimon rubbed her round little chin and spoke up.

The Goddess of Flowers' screen time in the video was only a minute or two, and the content was all played at high speed.

"She's not the female lead, after all." Gu Chen understood this very well.

After all, the time of a video is always limited; naturally, the screen time of other supporting characters has to be compressed.

The video scene shifts to King Deshret's side.

King Deshret's attire is similar to Cyno's, but he appears more majestic and divine. (Couldn't find an image, borrowing Cyno's, desert dog head, funny)

King Deshret is the heir of the heavens; at this moment, he is working diligently to build his own kingdom.

The scene shifts again to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's territory.

Under Gu Chen's suggestion, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata led her people away from the forest to build a city around a giant tree.

At the same time, because of Gu Chen's suggestion, the Akademiya was also built in advance.

"Your wisdom makes me feel that you far surpass them, so, are you willing to be my first Grand Sage?" Buer extended an invitation to Gu Chen.

"Of course."

Gu Chen readily agreed.

On this day, Gu Chen became the Grand Sage of the Akademiya.

All matters, large and small, concerning humanity had to pass through Gu Chen's hands, and the spread of knowledge also fell upon his shoulders.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was not a hands-off ruler.

Entrusting these matters to Gu Chen represented her trust in him, and it also allowed her to free herself to do more important things.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata unleashed her divine power.

She is the master of grass and trees.

Her divine power flowed toward the wasteland like water.

Patches of tender green began to appear and grow where the divine power flowed.

Surely, before long, this area would become full of vitality.

Gu Chen screened many clever people among the commoners to begin teaching them knowledge, and slowly led them to start research work.

"I believe that species must be diverse. If the world is too monotonous, it's like having only one or two or three colors on a canvas

... perhaps it's very artistic, but in the eyes of

ordinary people, it is certainly not beautiful."

Gu Chen made a suggestion to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata felt it made sense.

In the places where her divine power flowed, besides grass and trees, diverse plants were also growing.

【Collei】: So that's how the many types of mushrooms in the rainforest came to be! (Paimon. Shocked)

【Tighnari】: So the great variety of grass and trees is also thanks to Mr. Gu Chen's suggestion. (Paimon. Shocked)

【Gu Chen】: Speaking from a universal rational perspective, just tell me if it makes sense or not!

【Kaeya】: I almost mistook you for Seeing Zhongli, but it does make sense; species diversity is a must.

【Paimon】: Let's just call it grass and trees. If the diversity of grass and trees is up, what about animals? I've noticed that animals are really too scarce in this area!

【Alhaitham】: No need to worry. Sooner or later, other creatures will evolve on their own, or through humans, or through other means. The creatures here will gradually

increase.

【Kaveh】: Watching this video suddenly gives me the feeling of raising a nation! (Kaveh. Help)

【Gu Chen】: I have this feeling too, so, Sumeru is mine now! (Seeing Zhongli. Dragon King crooked mouth)

【Kaeya】: Huh? You're playing like this?!

【Venti】: Good brother, let's split it in half. Let me check the map... I want the Lokapala Jungle!

【Seeing Zhongli】: The Avidya Forest is right next to The Chasm. I want the Avidya Forest!

【Furina】:

In that case, the Desert of Hadramaveth and the Gavireh Lajavard all belong to Fontaine! (Paimon. Hmph hmph)

【Raiden Ei】:

The Ardravi Valley has Port Ormos by the sea. I want the Ardravi Valley! (Raiden Ei. Chuckles)
