Chapter 128

【"If you know, then go do it."】

【"I have things to attend to; don't bother me unless it's urgent."】

【Seeing Su Bai leave.】

【Azar seemed still lost in thought over Su Bai's earlier words.】

【For a moment, he could not react at all.】

Azar: "This… this is wisdom? This counts as knowledge?"

Furina: "So you can't even grasp something like this? What wisdom do you have? What knowledge?"

Paimon: "I remember Azar said Nahida gave the scholars confusion—I thought he was crazy back then."

Lumine: "The scholars themselves don't improve, yet they blame the gods."

Alhaitham: "Azar has grown accustomed to the Void's presence. People like him rely too much on the Void, and in the end, their minds atrophy."

Nilou: "That's why the Little Grass God ultimately sealed the Void—because the Void suppresses curiosity and erases the brilliant, original thoughts born in people's minds, hindering the expansion of wisdom."

Nilou: "Also, I apologize, Mr. Su Bai—you didn't seem to want to harm me after all."

Su Bai: "Then let's perform the Flower God's Dance. (Smirking)"

Nilou: "Oh, you're so annoying."

【Initially, the Grand Sages' Academy discovered the newborn Nahida.】

【They cheered and joyfully welcomed Nahida back to Sumeru.】

【Nahida was delighted.】

【She had never seen so many people gathered around her, never witnessed such a festive ceremony.】

【Everyone wore happy smiles.】

【But…】

【As time passed, Nahida noticed the way people looked at her had changed.】

【For they realized her wisdom was no different from that of a child…】

【"I'll say this much: a god must tower far above humanity."】

【"The Little Grass King?"】

【"What can she possibly do?"】

【"Comfort the people? Control the sandstorms? Or spin those absurd fairy tales?"】

【"All of these are easily handled by the Grand Sages' Academy—so are we gods too?"】

【"Who understands our great achievements!"】

【"We must create an omniscient, omnipotent supreme god."】

【"A useless god like the Little Grass King deserves only to be discarded."】

【"....."】

【Ha!】

【Nahida snapped open her eyes in terror.】

【She had just endured a horrifying nightmare.】

【In it, she saw a figure dressed exactly like a Sumeru Grand Sage, as if taking an oath.】

【"They…"】

【"Is the Grand Sages' Academy creating a god?"】

【"The Sumeru Grand Sage…"】

【Wu… wu… wu…】

【Tears welled in Nahida's eyes; her heart ached with unbearable pain.】

【After five hundred years of imprisonment, was her final fate to be abandoned?】

【"Where is this…?"】

【Staring at the endless white expanse.】

【Nahida froze.】

【"Am I still dreaming?"】

【"That dream just now…"】

【"That dream just now was real."】

【A sudden voice made Nahida collapse to the ground in shock.】

【"Who! Who's speaking?"】

........ 0

【Nahida turned toward the voice and saw a man seated in a chair.】

【Before him stood a desk and another empty chair.】

【"My name is Su Bai."】

【"I am the consciousness left within your mind by the Great Benevolent Tree King."】

【"I have witnessed everything you dreamed just now."】

【Su Bai! The Great Benevolent Tree King?】

【Nahida did not know who Su Bai was, but she knew the Great Benevolent Tree King.】

【The true god in the hearts of Sumeru's people.】

【The Great Benevolent Tree King.】

【"That arrogant Grand Sage just now—the one who vowed to create a god and discard you."】

"Remember this well: his name is Azar."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?

At this moment, the entire Teyvat was stunned.

Who is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?

Why would they say she is the deity most recognized in the hearts of the people of Sumeru?

Moreover, when the Nahida of the previous life heard Su Bai mention the name Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, she was clearly extremely agitated.

Her originally fearful and uneasy expression became much calmer.

Cyno: "Lesser Lord Kusanali, who is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"

Nahida: "I don't know."

Nilou: "Eh?"

Klee: "But my lord Nahida, in your previous life, when you heard of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, you were clearly very happy and very agitated."

Alhaitham: "What is going on? Did a massive change occur in the previous life where Mr. Su Bai was, creating a huge difference from our present era?"

Tighnari: "I have never heard of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata either. Has anyone among you heard of her?"

Ningguang: "No..."

Zhong Li: "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, hmm? Why have I never heard this name either?"

Venti: "I have never heard of her either. Who is Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"

Nahida: "Mr. Su Bai, have you heard of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"

Su Bai: "I haven't either."

Lumine: "Sigh, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata? Never heard of her."

Furina: "Sigh, truly never heard of her, but why did Su Bai break into Nahida's consciousness, and furthermore, he claimed the Grand Sage is Azar. (Facepalm)"

Furina: "But the person who said those words was indeed Azar."

Paimon: "It must be that Su Bai controlled Nahida's Dream and then dumped the blame on Azar to carry."

Azar: "This..."

Abyss Herald: "Ho! I feel Su Ye wants to kill Azar."

Keqing: "Did you not notice what is placed on Su Bai's table?"

Hu Tao: "Why does it feel like a ruler?"

Cloud Retainer: "Is that a punishment ruler?"

Ganyu: "Ah, does Mr. Su Bai want to beat Nahida?"

Shenhe: "It must be so."

Nahida: "Eh? Am I going to get beaten again?"
