"Yes. As the Lord of the Thousand Winds, you also know that the wind's eyes and ears are omnipresent, but at the level of the Seven Gods, they can definitely be shielded and can sense our attention. The Grass God allowed me to observe him before, which was obviously a statement to the three of us that he was willing to let us examine him. But now..."
"But now she has proven her ability for the second time in front of you. It would be impolite for you to continue to monitor her like this."
Wendy smiled and nodded, and understood why the younger generation came to discuss with him.
Wendy dared to observe the Grass God directly because the Grass God had failed in his duty before, and then the Rock God and the Thunder God jointly asked for it.
Now that the Grass God has proven his ability once again, should we stop disrespecting him? This is indeed difficult for the young Wendy to judge.
Wendy nodded solemnly.
"After all, she is the god of a country. I don't want to get into any awkward situations with her. But the World Tree is really important. Give me some advice. Should I stop?"
"Ahahaha, I'm just a bard, and I wasn't involved in it from the beginning to the end, how would I know about this?"
Wendy spread her arms and smiled innocently.
Wendy frowned upon hearing this, pinched her chin, and said hesitantly:
"You mean, I should report to the old man and Thunder God and let them decide?"
"...I thought you should complain about me first."
"No, there's no need to pick a time to criticize you. Now is the time to get down to business."
"Well, okay, what I mean is that you should ask the old man. He is the one who initiated this matter, and he should know the new situation and give his judgment. No matter what to do next, he is the one who can take care of it the most among us."
Wendy didn't shirk responsibility this time, she really meant it.
Big Brother requires remote monitoring, but of course only Big Brother can decide when to stop.
"Well, if you say so, then we should do it without further delay."
Wendy waved her hand to summon water and breeze. The water washed the cups and plates on the table, and the wind carried the table and chairs back to the Morning Brewery—including the teacup in Wendy's hand that she hadn't had time to drink from yet.
A second later, Wendy looked at his empty hands and his empty bottom. He sat in the air, blinking blankly at the empty space in front of him.
"That's too much! I didn't even get to drink the tea!"
The bard was heartbroken, but his voice could not reach the ears of his distant descendants.
Then he laughed again.
Although she is not very respectful to her elders in terms of etiquette, Wendy is indeed diligent. If it weren't for her, the god who would have to run around now would be Wendy herself.
"Oh my, it's good to have a successor at home. I can delegate everything to someone else. I'm lucky, hey~~"
Chapter 97 Heavenly Justice, Look at Me
"Did this happen? I am more curious about the God of Grass than the God of Grass. How could Barzeb come up with such a trick to test the situation? Maybe there is a master around him."
After listening to Wendy's story, Zhong Li couldn't help but smile.
If it was Bael who tested the Grass God, then he would not be surprised. But if it was Barzeb, no matter how you think about it, a warrior like him would not come up with such a strategy.
Wendy blinked and said in a very natural tone:
"Indeed. There is a famous person in Inazuma, named Horai-san Kaguya. She did not hesitate to challenge the Thunder God to a duel. She was seriously ill but still wanted to challenge him. She obtained the Eye of God on the spot. After that, she bleeds to persuade him and writes in blood to explain the pros and cons... Now she is the national teacher appointed by the Thunder God, and she is in charge of the affairs of Umijima."
"She obtained the Eye of God on the spot and wrote a warning in blood? She is a true patriot. But it shouldn't be her. This is about the World Tree and the Seven Gods. It is difficult for mortals to interfere. It may be the idea of the Thunder God's followers."
Zhong Li couldn't help but look in the direction of Inazuma.
In Teyvat, the Eye of God is the highest standard for testing one's will.
Being able to do this, even the ancient and wise Rock God would not doubt Huiye's intentions.
Inazuma has such a person, but in Liyue, does this generation have such a person?
Zhong Li was unsure, so he shook his head and sighed. Then he put on a slightly stern expression and said:
"But you are being too reckless. Although Qianfeng is omnipresent, how can he see everything? The seven rulers are all the most noble in the world. Not to mention that you have not been officially crowned yet, even Barbatos himself does not dare to spy on his fellow seven gods."
"I understand. Didn't I just come out of this world and not understand anything? I have restrained myself now and can only take a general look at it. As for the affairs of the seniors, I dare not read them at all... Well, anyway, if the seniors ask about it in the future, please help me speak up, please!"
Wendy shrank her neck in fear, then clasped her hands together and begged pitifully.
Seeing Wendy's fearful and flattering expression, Zhong Li's expression softened. He nodded and said soothingly:
"It's good to know that it's serious. Don't worry too much about what happened before. Barbatos is the oldest god besides me. He has been sleeping for hundreds of years. It's reasonable for him to want to see the situation of the six gods of the six countries when he wakes up. As long as you are careful to restrain yourself in the future, no god will refuse Barbatos' face because of this brief glimpse."
"You mean to say that all the careless things that happened before should be blamed on Barbatos?"
"Isn't it Barbatos?"
"Hmm? Ah! That's right, that's all Barbatos. It has nothing to do with me. The old man is wise and brave. The old man is invincible!"
Wendy looked completely relieved and started to flatter him in a joyful voice.
Zhong Li laughed, and then said:
"As for the matter of the Grass God, since she has proven her ability, let's just leave it at that. When there is a chance in the future, the three of us will invite her to get together and talk things out. However, if you have time, you can still keep an eye on Sumi's situation. Even though the Grass God has proven herself, the World Tree concerns everyone, so it is only right that you understand the situation properly."
"Okay, okay, leave it to me, old man!"
Wendy patted her chest and agreed readily, feeling relieved as if a heavy responsibility had been lifted off her shoulders.
Zhong Li asked again with a smile in his eyes:
"How is Barbatos now?"
"Him? He's pretty good. He sings in Mondstadt every day to make money, and then goes to the tavern to get drunk. Even for things like the World Tree, he only told me to report to the old man. It's like he's really retired and doesn't care about anything anymore!"
Wendy scratched her head, looking extremely resentful.
Zhong Li nodded silently and looked at Wendy, his eyes suddenly becoming subtle.
retire?
I, Morax, want to do the same.
Why don’t you send me a reliable and capable successor?
God, please look at me. I have been badly damaged and cannot survive for thousands of years.
……
"That's basically what happened on Kaigi Island. Let's not talk about politics, Kaguya will take care of it. What we need to focus on is that the power of the World Tree is stronger than we imagined, and its position has become clearer through this ceremony. Overall, it's beneficial to us, so what should we do next... And Ying, please move aside, you're so close, I can't talk to you properly."
Raiden Shin told Kosaigū and Yae Miko in detail about Umijima's prayer to the World Tree and its response, as well as his own thoughts. In the end, he had to look at Raiden Ying with a headache, watching her tightly hugging his arm.
"Oh."
Lei Dianying responded, moved his butt, and sat up straight, thus putting a little distance between himself and Lei Dianzhen.
But his hand was still holding Lei Dianzhen's hand, and he refused to let go.
Thunder and lightning are really helpless.
"I know you must miss me after five hundred years, but now you are the real Thunder God, you can't..."
"No! Thor is my sister, it's true!"
Raiden Ying firmly denied what Raiden Zhen said.
This was the only thing she did, she didn't follow her sister's advice.
Who is God and who is Shadow Warrior? This was decided at the very beginning of the Raiden movie.
During these five hundred years, it can be considered as a temporary absence at best, so the shadow is just a temporary replacement.
Now that he's really back, he'll definitely not be the God of Thunder anymore.
Are you kidding me? Before Zhen comes back, I have to shoulder this position of God. After Zhen comes back, I still have to shoulder it. It really is not in vain that he comes back... Bah! That's not what I mean. If Zhen can come back, it's better than anything else. Anyway, let Zhen be the God of Thunder.
Lei Dianying blinked and looked at his sister, his eyes full of starlight of dependence and attachment.
"Bang!"×3
The man and two foxes who witnessed all this clapped their heads in approval.
Yae Shinko picked up the teacup and said coolly:
"Get used to it. Ying has been holding it in for five hundred years. It's not like she can return to normal so quickly."
"I am normal."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just sit there and don't move. Just continue with your normal routine."
Yae Shinko raised his hand, looking irritating as if he was just trying to please a child.
Anyway, Lei Dianying narrowed his eyes and his hands started to itch.
Fortunately, Lei Dianzhen squeezed his sister's hand at the right time and easily diverted her attention.
Lei Dianying looked at Lei Dianzhen with his big, sparkling eyes. Lei Dianzhen had no choice but to caress his sister's head lovingly and said softly:
"I understand what you mean. I won't use national affairs to embarrass you again. It's just that our situation is special now. At least outside, you can only be the Thunder God. You have to hold up this facade for Inazuma and your sister, and block the eyes of Sky Island, so that your sister can be safe."
"Well, leave it to me!"
"Okay, that's enough about the World Tree. Kaguya has already arranged what needs to be done next. The Coral Palace Priestess will bring the information related to the sanctification of the earth. You, Kosai Palace and the Son of God, should take it carefully, and then lead them to continue to improve the ceremony I created at that time."
"Okay."×2
"The question now is, should we make some contact with the Grass God?"
Raiden got serious.
Kitsunesai Palace and Yae Shinko also had solemn expressions.
To some extent, this is a preparation to fight against Sky Island in advance. It is quite dangerous in nature, but it cannot be avoided.
Chapter 98 Is it okay if the evidence is burned?
"The observation from the wind god has disappeared for a whole day. Tree King, have we passed this level?"
[It's basically passed. There is no risk of Liushen forcibly intervening in the replacement for the time being, so we can breathe a sigh of relief. ]
"Then the next thing is to reconcile the conflict between the rainforest and the desert as soon as possible, deal with the dead zone that has not disappeared, and... recover the Lanaro that was scattered because of the reckless behavior of the Ministry of the Church. It seems that there are a lot of things to do. I still have to take my time to visit the six gods."
[No rush. We have plenty of time to come here. Besides, you know the special situation with Inazuma, and Iwagami is also a particular god. In short, there are still many opportunities to contact him. Who knows, someone may come to us soon.]
The voice of the Great Compassionate Tree King was gentle and calming, which gave Nashida a lot of peace of mind.
Nashida couldn't help but put down the file in her hand, with an obvious sigh on her fair and tender face:
"Who would have thought that Inazuma's predecessor, the Thunder God, would actually..."
[A unique opportunity. Time happened to favor her, and she turned her demon body into a tree seed and planted it in the past, thus sinking her complete consciousness into the earth. Before she completely melted away, she encountered the World Tree and condensed her consciousness. She happened to be noticed for her influence on Inazuma, and was given a new life. I can only say that she was not destined to die. ]
Normally, when a demon dies, it will just turn into a demon spirit that pollutes the earth, and that's it, nothing else happens.
And Raiden was able to see the World Tree through a series of miraculous coincidences, and even learned about the birth of the World Tree consciousness before the two of them. It was truly an experience that could not be replicated.
"Although Thor agreed to the conditions of the World Tree Master and moved away, it is still difficult to predict what she and the current Thor think now."
[Then let's find a time to meet. In any case, after meeting the World Tree, you will naturally understand that He is far superior to the Seven Gods. Moreover, the resurrection of the Demon God is against the law of nature, so at least you don't have to worry about her throwing a guillotine at Sky Island! �
The Great Compassionate Tree King is more familiar with thunder and lightning.
Based on her knowledge of the Thunder God, he would not be so foolish. Moreover, the World Tree Master did not force anyone to do anything bad. He just made some plans in advance based on the standpoint of the earth and all living beings.
The Tree King is still relatively confident about his secret alliance with Inazuma.
When it comes to Inazuma, Nashida couldn't help but pick up a file on the table.
"The blessing of abundance, the product of early life theorists' transformation of the power of the tree king, the best pesticide for fertile soil and fields..."
【you mean? 】
"Inazuma is now buying a lot of food from outside, which obviously means there is a problem with the local grain production. I don't think they will refuse goods like the Bounty of Fertility, which may be a legitimate reason for contact. The problem is that the Bounty of Fertility is also very useful in desert control. My divine power alone cannot directly spread the rainforest to the entire desert, and the diluted Bounty of Fertility has a miraculous effect on afforestation and can accelerate the control of the desert. So I think we should expand the production of the Bounty of Fertility as soon as possible."
[Do as you wish. The Church of the Lords, the six great schools, the wise men... I never thought that they would become so corrupt after my death.]
The Great Compassionate Tree King lamented for the countless times over the foolish behavior of the wise men.
In fact, it should be said that the disaster of Kanreya broke out too suddenly. Except for the God of Wind and the God of Rock, all the seven gods of the first generation suffered accidents. As a result, five of the seven countries directly experienced a break in rule, and all the plans of the previous generation were basically scrapped. In this situation, chaos is normal, and it is rare for a country to adjust quickly.
The Great Compassionate Tree King sighed again:
[And fools, although I don't know what the Ice God is thinking, it's too much to say that you created a god. Even if I, as a god, am not angry, I still have to worry about what Sky Island thinks. This is not an exception.]
"I know, Tree King. I just want to deal with Sumi's affairs first. As for the Fools, I think I am not the only one who has opinions. We have plenty of time to sort them out slowly."
