Chapter 323

【Venti】: Maybe this is a girl's mind? If it were me, I would have already linked arms with the Sect Leader and slept in the same nest! (Venti flower scattering)

【Gu Chen】: Who the hell wants to sleep in a nest with you, you idiot. (Annoyed)

【Dvalin】: Well scolded!

【Azhdaha】: Well scolded! I increasingly feel that Venti belongs to the category of being cheap; he really isn't comfortable if he isn't scolded for a day. (Azhdaha scratching head)

【Venti】: Slander, pure slander. I just want to be closer to the Sect Leader and feel the great radiance on the Sect Leader~ (Venti leisurely)

【Lumine】: Stop fantasizing, there is no place for you at home. (Death smile)

【Venti】: @【Gu Chen】 You have blown the evening breeze that I turned into, so do we count as having embraced? (Hu Tao acting cute)

【Barbara】: Ugh—

【Hu Tao】: Don't use this Hall Master's expression at this time, I beg you!

【Seeing Zhongli】: Can this be tolerated? Sect Leader, if it were me, I couldn't tolerate it!

【Gu Chen】: Rest assured, if I know that strand of wind is you, I will directly grab the wind and throw it into the latrine. (Seeing Zhongli black lines)

【Venti】: Ehe!

The young girl Buer was growing up day by day.

She was almost one meter sixty.

Hanging on Gu Chen again seemed inappropriate and would damage the image of this Grand Sage.

Because she couldn't just hang on Mr. Grand Sage, Buer occasionally felt a little sad.

But more of it was the happiness of growing up.

As her power recovered, her wisdom also returned like a river to the sea.

Buer understood more and more.

Often, after secretly glancing at Mr. Grand Sage, her cheeks would become flushed red; no one knew what she was thinking about.

When someone asked curiously, the Lord of Wisdom would say she was thinking about some Forbidden Knowledge that was not convenient to disclose.

Forbidden Knowledge was something that made people in the Qiming Academy turn pale at the mention of it.

The sages and scholars dared not ask more, often reminding the Grand Sage to be careful and to pay more attention to the state of the Lord of Wisdom, fearing that the Lord of Wisdom might go astray.

Mr. Grand Sage, who saw through everything, felt helpless and amused. He could only pinch the pointed ears of the Great Lord of Wisdom and say: "Don't think about strange things."

"Oh—"

She knew she was wrong, but she just wouldn't change.

The Geo Archon Morax of Liyue in the East was going to hold a gathering of the Seven Archons.

Buer took Gu Chen along to attend, showing off her Mr. Grand Sage to the gods.

——

After playing in Liyue for a few days, Gu Chen took Buer back to Sumeru.

Life seemed to have become calm and stable.

Human desire is infinite, and curiosity is the same.

People will be satisfied with everything at the current stage, but they also yearn for something better.

That godless nation was just like that.

Their expanding curiosity and increasingly thick desires aroused the wrath of the heavens.

The sacred plan and laws of the heavens cannot be violated:

It is absolutely forbidden for humans to come into contact with things they shouldn't touch, otherwise, they will surely face destruction.

The heavens summoned the gods.

Buer received the order to guard the Irminsul.

"The people are going to suffer again." Buer had worry on her face.

She hadn't even had time to properly enjoy this peaceful life.

It was clearly only a little time away from being completely grown up.

Buer felt a bit resentful.

"Go take a look at the Irminsul. To be able to make the heavens angry and specifically have you guard the Irminsul, it is clearly no small matter." Gu Chen's expression was grave.

"Mm."

Buer nodded gently.

She took Gu Chen to the place where the Irminsul was located.

It was a tree that was dreamlike and illusory.

Being here made Gu Chen feel as if he were in a dream.

That tree was too beautiful and too vast, as if everything in the world could be contained within the tree.

Strands of flowing light circulated along the roots upward and then downward.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment; he could see that the Irminsul seemed to be recording something.

Suddenly.

Buer swayed in a daze and raised her hand to rub her brow.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen was a bit confused.

"It's nothing, maybe I didn't rest well." Buer shook her head.

A rumbling sound seemed to come from the outside world.

Something seemed to have happened in Sumeru.

Gu Chen's expression was grave: "Is it safe here?"

"It is very safe here!" Buer nodded.

"The outside seems very bad. You stay here, I will go back and take a look." Gu Chen said.

"Okay."

Buer nodded.

After watching Gu Chen leave, she raised her hand to hold her head, her expression filled with pain.

"Forbidden... Knowledge."

On the dreamlike tree, ominous black lines began to spread at some unknown time.

Countless blurry images flashed in Buer's mind, and strange whispers rang in her ears.

Sumeru.

Gu Chen appeared on the terrace of the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

Looking out over all of Sumeru, he saw giant autonomous machines as tall as mountains.

The autonomous machines roared and fired rays, and the terrifying rays collapsed even the mountains.

"Grand Sage, what should we do now?!"

The sages and scholars had never experienced such terror.

Those terrifying autonomous machines and monsters like a tide surged in, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into a doomsday scene.

"Your primary task now is to protect the Qiming Academy, protect your knowledge, your juniors, your research, and your elderly teachers."

Only this sentence was left in the gale.

Gu Chen's figure had already disappeared.

The sages and scholars only saw the mountains at the edge of the sky collapsing.

That autonomous machine like a mountain seemed to have received a heavy blow and slowly fell.

The number of autonomous machines was large.

The sages and scholars understood their working principles, but limited by materials, they could not create such vast machines.

It was precisely because they understood that they understood their destructive power even more.

And now.

One by one, the vast autonomous machines were falling.

An invisible great power rose between heaven and earth, like an invisible tide rushing onto the beach, bringing everything into the tide.

The monsters on the ground were like fine sand on the beach, unable to put up any resistance before being submerged in the wave of power.

"The Grand Sage is too powerful!"

"Yes, even that King Deshret who ruled the four directions in the legends is probably no more than this, right?!"

"Fortunately, I submitted my thesis quickly last time, otherwise if the Grand Sage got angry... I wouldn't even dare to think about it!"

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and protect the data, and send the several old sages to a safe place!" ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
