Chapter 165

"You... you actually killed your own comrade..."

Su Bai looked at the panicked Yae Miko.

Very satisfied.

Everything is proceeding according to the deduction.

Comrade?

Ah... yes... she is an Harbinger of the Fatui...

But the people I want to bring back are my students, and my Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Paimon: "Su Bai he..."

Zhong Li: "Living for hundreds of years in regret, has it caused the Great Sage Su Bai's mind to become somewhat fractured?"

Cloud Retainer: "No, it must be that his obsession is too deep."

Nahida: "But, but what Mr. Su Bai wants to do is change all of Teyvat; he is not as selfish as he thinks himself to be."

Kamisato Ayaka: "I, however, believe it is precisely the deduction that forced Mr. Su Bai to this point; perhaps he did not intend to kill The Signora, but the deduction could not find any other method to obtain the Gnosis."

Yae Miko: "I dare say, if he had forced his way, I would have died rather than let him obtain the Gnosis; he must have had no choice and could only find an excuse to numb himself."

Jean: "When he was begging himself, I suddenly felt so heartbroken; did he realize he had failed?"

Dai Yin: "It is because he recognized his own failure that he feels even more pain, for he did so many things he might not have been willing to do for this."

Furina: "Impossible, he will not fall like this; he still has consciousness; he certainly will not fall like this."

Lumine: "Of course he won't fail; look quickly, Lesser Lord Kusanali has come out."

Nahida: "It really is the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata; she has come; she has appeared behind the Great Sage Su Bai; this is..."

An illusion?

Su Bai stood all alone in a dimness.

A pale hand gently patted him from behind his back.

In an instant, everything around became bright.

"My dear Mr. Su Bai, why are you here alone, secretly wiping away tears."

Su Bai turned around.

A smile as comfortable as a spring breeze brushed his face came into his sight.

"So many people are watching you; wiping away tears will make you lose face, you know."

Chapter 98: The Fused World, Furina Exclaims, My Husband Is Too Cool

Is it a dream, an illusion, or

The scene of the Great Sage Su Bai meeting Lesser Lord Kusanali feels somewhat unreal.

Combining Su Bai's memories from before, this situation is usually defined as a person reviewing their past life in their mind before death.

Hu Tao: "Mr. Su Bai..."

Zhong Li: "Hmm, it should be about right."

Venti: "So Lesser Lord Kusanali has come to take him, along with his students."

Furina: "Hey, what nonsense are you all talking? Nothing has ended yet; do not define things too early."

Alice: "Forcibly modifying the intermediate links of the World Tree's established program; even the one up there might find such a thing troublesome."

Rhinedottir: "After all, the world program is already functioning normally; such a thing is even more difficult than restarting Teyvat."

"Sigh..."

"I indeed truly failed."

Su Bai looked at Lesser Lord Kusanali; the people standing behind her were exactly the students he had once taught.

To put it bluntly.

The ones Su Bai saw were all people who had already died.

Lesser Lord Kusanali paused for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What did you do? What failed?"

Upon hearing this.

Su Bai actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, with an apologetic expression, he openly recounted everything that happened after Lesser Lord Kusanali's death.

"What? The teacher killed me?"

"Truly excessive." Rosalyne paused for a moment, but then laughed: "Hahaha..."

"The Scorching Flame Witch who burns everything?"

"No, no, no, that was indeed not me; I do not wish to become a person like that."

Su Bai listened, somewhat bewildered, and his gaze turned to Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Lesser Lord Kusanali only wore a smile, saying not much, as if deliberately leaving the chance to speak to Su Bai's students.

She is always that kind.

"However..."

The students of the Akademiya looked at each other; after a few breaths, they seemed to understand something.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads in shock to look at Su Bai, exclaiming in surprise: "Does the teacher mean you have gathered all seven Gnoses?"

"Fused with the authority of the gods, combined with your own power, you wish to reshape the world of Teyvat?"

"Ah?" Su Bai paused: "You only just realized?"

"Sigh..."

"It is a pity the deduction was indeed not very reliable; I underestimated the power of Teyvat's world rules; reshaping Teyvat is far more difficult than imagined."

"The gap in energy seems to have caused the deduction to deviate."

Su Bai sighed and shook his head.

However, his students seemed to have not heard his words at all.

Flashing light shone in everyone's eyes, as if they had heard the most thrilling academic practice of their lives.

"Impressive, truly worthy of Teacher Su Bai."

"He actually went and did such an incredible thing."

"Yes, coming up with a theory on how to reshape Teyvat was already terrifying, yet Teacher Su Bai actually put it into practice."

"Nonsense, for us scholars, of course theory must be put into practice."

"I told you, Teacher Su Bai is the most courageous man in all of Sumeru..."

"Mm-hmm, back then he dared to pursue Greater Lord Rukkkhadevata while still an ordinary person; I had high hopes for our teacher even then."

"Exactly, the key is that the teacher truly succeeded; he and Greater Lord Rukkkhadevata are together."

"Mm, such courage to pursue a god with a mortal body—perhaps even gods do not possess it."

"....."

Su Bai stood stunned.

He could not understand at all what nonsense this group of brats was spouting.

Ye Er suddenly let out a light laugh.

"It really is wonderful, Su Bai..."

"I said long ago that you are more impressive than you imagine yourself to be; look how highly your students speak of you."

"Ah?" Su Bai was bewildered and quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying, "A bunch of brats spouting nonsense without understanding anything; how can you believe them as truth?"

"What's so impressive about pursuing a girl you like?"

Su Bai crossed his arms over his chest and said gloomily, "It would be enough if they didn't mock my failure; do you expect them to praise me?"

"This..."

Ye Er shook his head with a bitter smile, walked to stand before Su Bai, and said solemnly, "Do not underestimate emotions; they too are full of wisdom."

"I remember..."

"That was something you said yourself."

Su Bai's pupils trembled slightly.

He slowly lowered his arms.

And at this moment, the students' discussion grew even more intense.

"Therefore, I now declare that Teacher Su Bai's status has been promoted from the most courageous man in Sumeru to the most courageous man in Teyvat."
