Chapter 285: No Initiative, No Rejection, No Responsibility
"I have been thinking about a question these days. Which part of the people of the Coral Palace are the people of the Coral Palace that Shadow and the Son of God want to clean up? Are they always remembering the believers who believe in the demon god Orobas? Or are they trying to satisfy them in the name of Orobas? A selfish conspirator?"
In the bronze coffin, the blond girl's eyes were bright: "Do ordinary people really still remember their gods after their gods have been dead for thousands of years?"
Chen Tianfeng pinched his chin: "Well, this should..."
"You and your people are special cases and cannot be used as a reference."
Ying guessed what he wanted to say and made a patch in time: "Moreover, Rice Wife's situation is special. After the people of the Coral Palace lost their gods, they survived for thousands of years under the protection of the shadows. The life span of mortals is short. After one generation after another, how many more will there be? Will people really remember and believe in Orobas?”
"So, you think there's a villain behind it?"
Chen Tianfeng answered the question very cooperatively.
"Of course, the existence of the belief in strange gods on Inazuma Kaiji Island is due to the kindness of the thunder god, but as long as the people in power on Kaiji Island are not stupid, they should understand that this kindness has its limits."
Placing one's own survival on the kindness of others, if this person is not someone whom one absolutely trusts or absolutely knows, but is a stranger or unpredictable existence... then what kind of stupid person would do this? matter?
If Haiji Island wants to exist and the people of Coral Palace want to survive, they should voluntarily give up the faith of Orobas - at least the superficial faith. Little by little, subtly, he transformed himself into the people of Naruken. Otherwise, why would Naruken protect this group of believers of the alien gods?
Even if the gods of Teyvat have the underlying logic of [God loves the world], this [love] will not spread to every human being in Teyvat, right?
For thousands of years, it should be a matter of course that Kaiji Island has integrated into Inazuma.
But now, not only has Kaiji Island failed to integrate, but during the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order, it openly formed a resistance army and raised the flag of resistance.
If there is nothing fishy in this, I'm afraid even Paimon...maybe not even a three-year-old child would believe it.
Ying talked about his guess, and finally raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But whether the shogunate raised the bandits to respect itself or whether Haijijima's rebellion is deep-seated, it has nothing to do with us - we are not Inazuma or the gods of Haijijima, we have nothing to do with it. The truth is for them to consider everything and plan for the future.”
"So what are you going to do?"
Chen Tianfeng was curious.
Ying smiled slightly, raised her round chin slightly, and spoke clearly: "Don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't take responsibility."
"……ah?"
What kind of standard scumbag statement is this? Chen Tianfeng was stunned.
"We won't get out of the coffin, and we won't take the initiative to admit that we are the demon god Orobas. But if someone insists on saying that we are Orobas, there is no need to deny it."
Ying smiled slyly, feeling a bit like a little golden-haired fox in a daze: "Similarly, when these people who call us Orobas gather, they want us to lead them to counterattack Inazuma... Hehe, then these people must be Careers, there is no psychological burden to kill them all.”
Orobas is a big snake. Even if he comes back from the dead, he will not turn into a bronze coffin waving tentacles. But even so, there are still people who insist on mistaking them for Orobas and using this to cause trouble...
Then there is no need to guess what this group of people are thinking.
Once everything is cut off, Haiji Island will have fewer hidden dangers, and it will be much easier for Ying to take over.
"Of course, we need to give them some benefits and support appropriately so that they can misunderstand, and then give it away with confidence."
"……fluorescent."
"Well, I'm here, what's wrong?"
"Why are you so skilled?"
"This... well, this is a beautiful girl's secret, so don't ask any more questions."
…
Haiji Island.
In the past two days, two major events happened on Haiji Island.
The first one was a bronze coffin with dancing blue tentacles flying from the direction of Haji Island, knocking out a hole in the thunderstorm that blocked Haizhi Island. There were more than twenty humans wrapped in the tentacles. If you look closely, you can see that the general of the resistance army, Goro, is among them.
The second thing was that several influential family patriarchs on Haiji Island came forward and said that this bronze tentacle coffin that resembled an evil god was the great god of Haiji who had been resurrected from the dead. And decided to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the return of the god.
They said with certainty that the Great God of the Sea was resurrected from the dead, and it was natural for him to undergo some strange changes.
Coral Palace expressed strong opposition and warned these family owners not to speak nonsense.
But somehow afterwards, Coral Palace and Coral Palace Master Xinhai fell silent, no longer refuted the statements of several family heads, and even acquiesced to them holding a ceremony for the bronze tentacle coffin at the Coral Palace sacrificial site.
It is said that the day before the Coral Palace went silent, someone saw blue tentacles dancing wildly above the Coral Palace, covering the sky and the sun, and a terrifying scene of the arrival of an evil god. Some people also say that what is dancing is not the tentacles, but pieces of light blue ribbons with stars twinkling on them, which is simply beautiful.
But no matter what happened that day, whether the evil god descended or the stars twinkled, one thing remained unchanged: the right to speak on Haiji Island tended to shift from the Coral Palace to several major families.
"Lord Coral Palace, I still can't understand."
Wulang looked at the lively ceremony scene in the distance and the bronze coffin lying quietly on the altar. He endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back: "These families don't have many troops. Although it's a bit troublesome, I have We are sure to defeat them all within two months...but why should we give in?"
"Goro, why do you think the Kaiji Island rebels were unable to defeat the shogunate army, except for the lack of troops?" Coral Palace Xinhai smiled calmly.
"Well... because of General?"
Goro scratched his hair.
"Yes, because of the general, or in other words, because of the gods. In Teyvat, forces without the protection of gods are like bonfires in the night wind. They look lively, but they don't know when they will be extinguished by a gust of wind or a rain. ”
Coral Palace Xinhai nodded: "A force without gods is destined to be no match for a force with gods' protection. And now, those families have gods."
Whether they are evil gods or really the resurrected Sea God, they are all gods. Today's Haiqi Island cannot withstand a civil war intensified by the gods.
"But that god, I don't think He is explicitly protecting them. It's like, like..." Wulang frowned, thinking for a long time, and finally came up with a description: "It's like looking at a pom-pom toy. , maybe you will get tired of it at some point.”
"It seems that Goro has a pom-pom toy that he's not tired of yet?"
Coral Gong Xinhai raised his eyebrows and smiled. After seeing Wu Lang's embarrassed expression, he looked away with satisfaction. His smile faded and he sighed: "But he didn't explicitly refuse, right?"
Before the situation becomes clear, what mortals have to do is not to use their own wisdom to figure out the gods' intentions.
She looked at the celebration that was about to begin in the distance, with doubts in her gradient pink eyes.
Where did the traveler go?
She originally thought that the traveler was a partner of Lord Yaegomiya, and that the so-called "remaining divine remains of Orobas' consciousness with hope of resurrection" was an arranged drama, with the purpose of fishing out the remains in the name of the gods. Those with evil intentions.
But now it seems that something went wrong, either she misunderstood, or... the scene in front of her was like the plan was proceeding normally.
So, want to take a gamble?
Coral Palace Xinhai lowered his eyes slightly, then smiled helplessly.
To bet or not to bet, she and Hajijima had long since lost the right to choose. When the gods have chosen the roles and arranged a drama, there is no possibility for mortals to refuse.
