Chapter 151

~7 min read 1,283 words

According to the residual consciousness of the False World's Great Sage Su Bai disguised as Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, he could easily bewitch Nahida into unlocking the final memories left by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

But, as the Great Sage Su Bai stated, in the remaining link, he must retain Nahida's image within his own conscious mind in reality.

Strange, particularly strange.

This feeling gave everyone a very bad omen, as if Nahida were about to vanish.

Yet the conversation between the Great Sage Su Bai and Furina left everyone bewildered.

In Teyvat, the love between an Archon and their beloved is like a natural law.

The Great Sage Su Bai, as a person from the Otherworld, might not be bound by these laws, but the Tsaritsa is a pure Archon of Teyvat.

Since she chose to cooperate with the Great Sage Su Bai, the situation should not be as dire as people imagine.

The livestream.

Fischl: "It hurts, it hurts so terribly. A world without you is a False World. I will create a world where you exist. Revive, my beloved."

Su Bai: "....."

Mo Na: "Please forgive me, Mr. Su Bai, my friend here..."

Lisa: "(Covering her face)"

Jean: "Sigh, stop fooling around. I think we'll have results soon."

Nahida: "So everything Mr. Su Bai did was for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Moreover, my past self seemed to respect Greater Lord Rukkhadevata just as much, regarding her as a goal to pursue."

Klee: "Lesser Lord Kusanali, do not be agitated. Have confidence. You are the god of Sumeru."

Nilou: "Yes, summon your courage, 'Five Six Seven', our god."

【Su Bai returned from Fontaine to Sumeru.】

【The collection of Gnosis has reached its final stages.】

【All that remains is to wait for the arrival of the Tsaritsa and the arrival of the blonde girl.】

【Azar acted very actively in the God-creation Project. Every day, he reported all parameters of the experimental plan to Su Bai's clone in the office.】

【Meanwhile, Su Bai's original body had already returned to the consciousness space.】

【Nahida sat alone on the ground, her eyes vacant.】

【Only when Su Bai arrived did her hollow eyes gradually regain their luster.】

【"What, have you not thought properly about the question I left you these days?"】

【Su Bai pulled over a chair, sat down, and looked straight at Nahida.】

【"I..."】

【"I have been thinking, but I don't understand. Is there a problem with this?"】

【Nahida was utterly perplexed.】

【The feeling Su Bai gave her was as if she had done something wrong.】

【That child named Scaramouche, in Nahida's view, was a very pitiful fellow.】

【Created by the Raiden Shogun only to be discarded, he wandered lost and helpless in Inazura. He finally found friends, but due to others' framing, he misunderstood his companions.】

【In the end, hope was rekindled under the acceptance of a little boy, yet the little boy died of illness.】

【Under these various blows, Scaramouche's mindset collapsed, leading him down a path of no return.】

【And in the end, he indeed helped her find a great deal of highly valuable information within the Irminsul, broadening Nahida's knowledge.】

【"So, does Scaramouche also have to be executed?"】

【Nahida looked at Su Bai in confusion: "If we follow Azar's fate, Scaramouche, as the final product of the God-creation Project, belongs to the same category as Azar."】

【"And that Fatui Harbinger known as The Doctor."】

【Su Bai did not answer Nahida directly but instead recounted the events that had occurred in Inazura to her.】

【Regarding the matter of the Watatsumi Island forming a resistance army against the Raiden Shogun, Baal.】

【Of course, he did not tell Nahida about the Delusion incident.】

【"What is your opinion on the Watatsumi Island group forming a resistance army?"】

【"This..."】

【Nahida was confused again.】

【Can such a question reflect people's wisdom?】

【As if seeing through Nahida's confusion.】

【Su Bai smiled: "What is the wisdom you speak of? Is it the knowledge shouted by Azar?"】

【"Water can extinguish fire; earth can bury water?"】

【Seeing Nahida remain silent.】

【Su Bai continued: "The wisdom you speak of is merely treating knowledge as wisdom."】

【"However, the so-called knowledge, the vast majority and even all of it, is things that already exist and only need to be discovered by people."】

【"The scope of things included in wisdom is too broad."】

【"It includes not only knowledge but also many principles."】

【"Just like The Doctor, Dottore. He treated Scaramouche as a perfect test subject, killed his friend to frame him, and triggered a change in Scaramouche's heart to achieve Dottore's goal of utilizing him."】

【"Although the methods cannot be brought into the light, they can still be considered a manifestation of wisdom."】

【"Just like those people from Watatsumi Island."】

【"The god they worship is not the Raiden Shogun, Baal, but the Archon Orobashi who died under Baal's Musou no Hitotachi back then."】

【Nahida's slender body trembled violently.】

【She lifted her small head to look at Su Bai: "So what you mean is..."】

【"It is said that Orobashi's will to protect Watatsumi Island, after being slain by Baal, was still passed down through generations along with the bloodline of the Sangonomiya family."】

"Is the Watatsumi Island Resistance really opposing the Vision Hunt Decree?"

"After all, the Sakoku Decree had the greatest impact on Watatsumi Island."

"Yet Sangonomiya Kokomi formed the resistance under the banner of the Vision Hunt Decree."

"Don't you find that illogical?"

Nahida frowned.

"Then... then why..."

Her little head truly could not think of the reason behind this matter.

"Could it be that Sangonomiya Kokomi used the Vision Hunt Decree as a pretext to more easily recruit those Inazuman subjects who were full of complaints?"

Hearing this, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, truly a god representing wisdom."

Hmph!

Praised by someone, Nahida's little face instantly turned red with shyness.

This was the first time she had received recognition from others; this feeling made her heart yearn for it.

"If Sangonomiya Kokomi had recruited Inazuman subjects under the banner of the Sakoku Decree, the effect would have been very poor."

"After all, the Sakoku Decree only had a huge impact on Watatsumi Island; for ordinary subjects, the impact was not that great."

"Wait..." Nahida suddenly thought of something else, her expression changed abruptly, and she said nervously, "Didn't you just say that the subjects of Watatsumi Island still worship the former Archon, Orobashi?"

"The will of Orobashi to protect Watatsumi Island is still passed down through the bloodline of the Sangonomiya Palace."

"Then, is it possible that Sangonomiya Kokomi wants to seize back the regime that belongs to them by taking advantage of Inazuma's chaotic moment?"

"Or perhaps she wants to avenge Orobashi?"

Confidence is a good thing.

Su Bai looked down at Nahida, who wore a face full of expectation, seemingly waiting for praise.

After being recognized and praised, her brain seemed more active than before.

"Perhaps."

Su Bai said indifferently, "Regardless of what their true purpose is, Sangonomiya Kokomi used the Vision Hunt Decree as a pretext to recruit Inazuman subjects to join the Watatsumi Island Resistance."

"This behavior can certainly be considered a manifestation of wisdom."

"Even if the Resistance does not fight the Shogunate Army, those Inazuman subjects who join the Resistance will, over time, slowly be assimilated by Watatsumi Island."

"Becoming people of Watatsumi Island."

Kamisato Ayaka: "Ahem, ahem, this is incredible. Sangonomiya Kokomi looks beautiful and delicate, but her mind is truly terrifying."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Hehe, what are you saying, Princess Bai Lu? I don't understand at all. However, compared to you, who at such a young age holds the full power of the Kamisato Clan in your hands, you are by no means a kind person either."
