Chapter 737

【Jami: It's not just the Grand Sage; the other bastards in the Akademiya should also be sentenced to death!】

……

The Grand Sage's eyes widened.

Most of the comments were from the people of Sumeru, and every single one of them wanted him dead.

He even saw some scholars among them who also wished for Azar to die.

For a moment, Azar felt a strong sense of grievance.

That wasn't all; what Nahida said next terrified Azar even more.

"According to the laws of this nation, Grand Sage Azar, you are already a death-row prisoner."

"So, please, go to your death."

Nahida said in a flat tone.

"You... what did you say?"

Azar looked at Nahida in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that the always timid Nahida would actually make such a decision.

Luo Feng also looked up, watching with interest.

Nahida raised her head, looked at the sky through the broken ceiling, and murmured:

"After going to the universe with Mr. Luo Feng, I learned a lot."

"Not just professional scientific knowledge."

"When I was at the Herta Space Station, I also read many books on governing a country."

"I realized that to make a country better, one needs reasonable laws and must strictly enforce them."

"Only when bad people are punished and good people are rewarded will a country develop in a good direction."

"So Azar, even if you are willing to assist me with all your might, I cannot accept your proposal."

"And..."

Having said this, Nahida paused and turned to look at Luo Feng.

"And, someone once told me."

"To be a good god, one must first be a good version of oneself."

"If I don't even know how to reasonably express anger."

"It would be difficult for me to become a true god."

"If I cannot become a true god, I won't be able to guide this country in a good direction, right?"

Nahida said.

Hearing these words, the smile on Luo Feng's face grew even wider. Clearly, he felt very gratified that Nahida could say such things.

"It's not just you; the other people in the Akademiya who did wrong also need to pay the corresponding price."

"First, let's start with you, Azar."

"I restored your consciousness because I wanted you to know why you are being executed."

Nahida said.

"No, I don't want to die."

"Someone, save me!"

"Right, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata!"

"Great Rukkhadevata, please save me."

"You are the true god of Sumeru; Lesser Lord Kusanali has no right to judge me."

Azar said excitedly, looking toward Paimon's direction.

He had watched Paimon's stream, so he naturally knew the fact that Rukkhadevata's consciousness still existed.

However, he ultimately did not get the answer he wanted.

【Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Lesser Lord Kusanali's approach is correct. I am very gratified, Nahida.】

【Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: You must have studied very hard while in the universe.】

【Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Besides, Lesser Lord Kusanali is the current ruler of Sumeru; I am no longer that person.】

【Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: Therefore, Lesser Lord Kusanali's decision should be the will of this nation.】

【Kaveh: Even Greater Lord Rukkhadevata has spoken; the Grand Sage Azar should have nothing left to say now.】

【Dori: Those who colluded with the Grand Sage must be trembling with fear now.】

Inside the World Tree, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata wore a gentle smile.

She had originally thought Nahida would need more time to truly grow up.

However, seeing Nahida pass judgment on Azar so decisively, she instantly felt even more at ease about Sumeru's future.

In terms of power, Nahida, having stepped onto a Path, could already stand on her own.

In terms of knowledge, Nahida had also matured.

Under such circumstances, could there be a more suitable successor than Nahida?

"You saw the message from Greater Lord Rukkhadevata in the forum, right?"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Grand—Sage!"

Cyno said with an incredibly cold gaze.
