Chapter 255 The Dawn Before the Darkness
A few days passed in a flash. Ying and Paimon followed the main storyline diligently. Although the goal was to save a fictitious grass god, they believed that Liusu had already arranged all these.
And Ying, because of the Red King's item given by Nashida, made the people on the Gilded Journey fully believe that she was the Red King's messenger, and what she did was to help the Red King revive.
Under Nashida's intentional correction, all this was carried out according to the trajectory of the world.
Liyue.
"Ying, the traveler seems to be about to meet the scattered soldiers. Should we set off?" Yaejinzi turned to Ying, who was lying on the chair eating like her.
"Then let's go. This kind of life is a bit boring." Ying nodded.
After listening to Ying's words, Yaejinzi asked suspiciously: "Really, why do I feel that you are enjoying life every day?"
"Ahem, don't care about these, take this opportunity to stretch your muscles." Ying stood up and changed the subject.
Yae God: "."
"Lottia, Liuyun, are you going too?" Yae God asked the two people who were fiddling with the mechanism next to him.
"I won't go. There's nothing worth my attention in Xumi." Liuyun shook his head.
Yae God continued to ask: "What about Lotia?"
"I don't want to go either." Lotia also shook her head and refused.
"Okay, Ying, let's go this time." Yae God heard the two people's answers and spread his hands to Ying.
"Yeah." Ying nodded.
At this time, Xumi, with the efforts of everyone, the Gilded Brigade has completely controlled the Church Order.
"Ying, there is no Nashida in the Pure Palace, why are we still locked up?" After being rescued by Dishia from the confinement room of the Wisdom Palace, Paimon said to Ying with some doubts: "Besides, what are we going to the Pure Palace for now?"
"I don't know, but the mission prompted this, there must be a reason for it." Ying shook his head.
"Come to think of it, you killed the Fatui's executive, the Doctor, with one sword. Is there really no problem?" Paimon asked with some concern.
Ying glanced at Paimon and replied calmly: "What are you afraid of? There is more than one Doctor. His slices will be filled up. I just don't like him."
"Well, okay." Paimon scratched his head.
After receiving the news that the Little Auspicious Grass King had escaped from the Jingshan Palace, the great sage Azar rushed into the Jingshan Palace.
He looked up at the empty cage, and something was about to come out of his mind, but he couldn't remember it.
"Impossible"
Azar couldn't help but closed his eyes and shook his head and said. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the shadow of the little grass bag trapped inside.
"Ah? It really appeared again. What's going on?"
Suddenly a red thread passed through Azar's void terminal into his mind. The knowledge and power transmitted in his mind made him tremble with excitement, and his originally panicked face was covered by an irresistible smile.
Suddenly a voice sounded behind Hazard.
"It's really a funny scene for me, Azar."
Azar: "!!!"
"Even if you are a great sage, once you have a certain idea in your mind, you will not be able to recognize the things in front of you." Saino continued: "You can only see the world in your mind, the world you think of."
"That's why you ignore the existence of the Grass Goddess."
"She is obviously such a wise god."
"Hahaha, foolish cognition, the wise god is just what you think of yourself. What can such a weak woman bring to Xumi? Compared with the glory of the Great Kind Tree King, she is nothing." Hearing Saino's words, Azar raised his head and laughed: "There is only one Grass Goddess of Xumi in our hearts, and that is the omniscient and omnipotent Great Kind Tree King."
"Azar, you are really hopeless. The Great Kind Tree King has passed away five hundred years ago, and the new Grass God also needs to grow up, but what did you do to make her experience?" Saino said with anger.
"So what? Compared with the all-knowing and all-mighty Great Kindness Tree King, the new Little Auspicious Grass King is an insult to the reputation of the God of Wisdom." Azar snorted coldly: "Only a god like the Great Kindness Tree King can lead us again. Little Auspicious Grass King is not worthy."
Looking at the crazy Azar, Seno noticed something was wrong. Sure enough, Azar's void terminal was infected with bright red at this time.
"Is this, forbidden knowledge?!" Seno's pupils shrank.
"Hahaha, forbidden knowledge? I prefer to call it a gift from God." Azar said: "I can already feel the power surging in my body at this time."
"Azar, you are crazy!" Seno looked at the great sage whose aura suddenly became stronger and exclaimed.
Azar put away his crazy expression and said to Seno calmly, "No, I'm not crazy. It's you, the Great Disciplinary Officer Seno, who is crazy. You abandoned our true god of Xumi and believed in a weak new god. Oh, yes, you are originally a people of the desert. Of course, you don't know how strong our belief in the Great Kindness Tree King is."
"And now, the sleeping King of the Great Ci Tree has revived, and what I got is because I still believe in the King of the Great Ci Tree. She responded to me. Did you see it, Seno? This power was also given to me by the King of the Great Ci Tree. Yes, I know that the Great Ci Tree King has not passed away, and the changes in the World Tree more than three hundred years ago are not accidental. "
"Azar, what you created was not the Great Merciful Tree King, it was a skirmisher." Seno shouted.
At this time, Sano felt a kind of god-like pressure from Azar, which made him no longer dare to act rashly.
"Skicker? Are you talking about the false god we created on the birthday of the Flower God?" Azar thought for a while and replied: "What kind of god can be created by humans? He is just our test subject. That’s all.”
"Now that the Great Merciful Tree King has revived, Xumi has waited for a new dawn, and we no longer need him."
Hearing Azar's answer, Sano's pupils shrank. Unexpectedly, Azar's faith was not Skirmishers. If, as he said, his power was really the response given to him by King Daci Shu, then things would be in trouble. .
"The Great Mercy Tree King is dead, otherwise a new grass god would not have appeared. Azar, don't be fooled by the forbidden knowledge. You are already crazy." Sai Nuo still did not believe that the Great Mercy Tree King would revive. Because the birth of the little grass god explains everything.
"Hmph, ignorant. As expected of the people of the desert, even if they enter the Order Academy, they are still ignorant." Azar snorted again: "If the Great Ci Tree King hadn't responded to me, I would have seen her omniscient and omnipotent figure. Will I tell you this?"
"Even if you join forces with Elhaysen and the Travelers, you will be vulnerable in front of the omniscient and omnipotent Great Cishu King."
"As for that false god, we no longer need him, so let him be annihilated together with the Exile under the glory of the Great Merciful Tree King."
"Then what is the purpose of creating this false god, and you do not hesitate to use the dreams of the people of Xumi to gain power." Seno continued to ask.
Azar explained: "It's okay to tell you, because the little Lucky Grass King is not worthy of being in charge of Sumeru. During this long journey without a god, we were unable to gain more wisdom, so we decided to create a god. Gain new knowledge from him.”
"But the premise of all this is that the Great Ci Tree King has not recovered, because I feel that no god can compare to the omniscient and omnipotent Da Ci Tree King. Her wisdom is infinite, and her ability is also endless."
Sano: "."
While Azar was talking to Seno, Ying and Paimon also rushed to Jingshan Palace.
"Seno." Paimon greeted Seno: "Has the Great Sage been solved?"
"No, there's something wrong with Azar. He got the power comparable to a god from somewhere. I can't deal with him." Seno shook his head.
"Azar, the power of the gods?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"Traveler, Paimon, let me tell you why I feel a familiar and majestic atmosphere from you. At this moment, I understand." Azar said to Ying and Paimon.
fluorescent:"???"
"What familiar scent?" Paimon asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha, stop pretending. You are also loyal believers of the Great Ci Tree King. From the items you still carry with you that are the same as the Void Terminal, I can feel the divine power inside." Azar said: "No. Thinking that the travelers who obstructed us in every possible way are also followers of King Daci Shu, hahaha, surely the truth is always on the side of our loyal believers."
Paimon: "."
fluorescent:"."
Paimon and Ying didn't know how to answer Azar's words, because the skynets on their ears were indeed given by Liusu, the Great Merciful Tree King, but they didn't understand what Liusu was doing. In order to avoid talking, they Too much must be lost, so they both fell silent.
But all this was different in the eyes of Sano. He turned to the two of them in disbelief and said, "Are you also a believer of the Great Ci Tree King mentioned by Azar?"
"Yes." Ying replied calmly.
"I see, I understand." Sainuo sighed as if he had lost all his strength.
"Wait, that's not it, Seno, the relationship here is different from what you think." Paimon said quickly.
"Explain what? Don't you? I can feel that the Great Mercy Tree King cares about you far more than ordinary people. Even the power of the Great Mercy Tree King to respond to me is not as good as yours." Azar said to Ying and Paimon. He spread his hands with excitement and said, "But I don't mind. As long as the Great Ci Tree King is alive, that's enough. She will still lead us to pursue the untouchable truth, and truth is what we scholars pursue throughout our lives. "
"Ying, what should we do now?" Paimon asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but we can't solve Azar now." Ying replied with a serious face.
"Traveler, Paimon, you are both followers of the Great Merciful Tree King, and you are favored by the Tree King. Do you also want to oppose me?" Azar said to Ying and Paimon in disbelief: "Just now, the Great Merciful Tree The king has sent me an oracle, aren't you afraid of violating the wishes of King Daci Shu?"
"This, this" Pamon scratched his head and said in confusion.
"What is the oracle of King Daci Shu you just mentioned?" Ying asked Azar calmly.
It doesn't matter to Ying what Azar becomes. What matters is the oracle given to Azar by the Great Compassion Tree King. This is an existence that she cannot ignore. Since Liusu did this, she must have her own intention.
"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't betray the Great Compassion Tree King." Hearing Ying's answer, Azar said with a smile: "The oracle just given by the Great Compassion Tree King is to let us clear out the heretics of Xumi, the Fatui, the Abyss Power, and the false gods we made before."
"We can't deal with the Fatui and the Abyss Power for a while, but it is more than enough to deal with the false gods, and the Great Compassion Tree King has sent two messengers to assist us."
"Well, Ying, what should we do?" Paimon asked Ying, scratching his head.
"Do as he says. This order was indeed issued by Liusu." Ying replied calmly, "And it is important to deal with the scattered soldiers first, and we can discuss the rest later."
"A wise decision." Azar heard Ying's answer and said with a smile on his face, "I know that the followers of the Great Compassion Tree King will not do something as stupid as these traitors."
"Traveler, Paimon, is the Great Compassion Tree King really revived? Aren't you the messenger of the Red King? Why did you receive the blessing of the Great Compassion Tree King?" Seeing that things were developing in an unpredictable direction, Seno asked Ying and Paimon with some doubts.
"The Great Compassion Tree King has revived." Ying was silent for a while and gave Seno an answer.
"Since the Great Compassion Tree King has revived, what are our current actions? Is it useless? What about the little auspicious grass king?" Seno said a little weakly after hearing Ying's words.
"This, this" Paimon scratched his head and didn't know how to answer Seno's question.
"Traveler, the oracle of the Great Compassion Tree King said that her Golden Guards have come to Xumi. They will appear here as long as you give them an order." Azar continued to say to Ying.
"Golden Guards, what are those?" Paimon asked in confusion.
"Foolish, the Golden Guards are also known as the Holy Tree Guards. They are an army transformed by the Great Compassion Tree King. They have some of the power of the Great Compassion Tree King." Azar explained.
Paimon: "."
"Then how should I summon them?" Ying asked Azar.
"You just need to silently recite their names, and they will appear in front of you." Azar replied.
Ying said that she was a little unconvinced, because Liusu didn't look like someone who could create an army, but according to Azar, she decided to give it a try. After all, it wouldn't hurt to try.
As Ying's thoughts touched, golden figures appeared in front of Ying. They were made of golden stars and were entangled with golden tree patterns, but Ying looked like the Abyss Apostle before.
The leading Star Messenger knelt on one knee and said to Ying respectfully: "Your Highness, the Golden Guards have come to obey your call. Please give us instructions."
Ying: "."
Good fellow, aren't these the Abyss Apostles who followed him in that world? How did they come here? And why did they change their appearance.
Ying asked the Golden Guards in some confusion: "How did you come here, and why did you become like this?"
"At that time, after you disappeared in that world, we followed you here, and then saw the throne. It was the throne that gave us a new life, and the throne meant for me to follow you." The Star Messenger replied.
"Is this the power of the Great Compassion Tree King? Golden Guards, Golden Guards, what a miracle this is. Although it was created by the Great Compassion Tree King, it is a great wisdom that we can never reach." The Great Sage exclaimed while looking at the Golden Guards.
Seno: "."
At this time, Seno's brain had crashed, and he could no longer understand how things had turned out.
"Seno, don't be stubborn. As a citizen of the desert, you also have the right to enjoy the gift of the Great Compassion Tree King." Azar said to Seno.
Seno: "."
"Hmph, you are stubborn. We will deal with you after we complete part of the Great Compassion Tree King's oracle." Azar's void terminal flickered, and he said to Ying and Paimeng: "The messenger mentioned by the Great Compassion Tree King has arrived in Xumi. Travelers, please help me receive them together."
"Ying, are we going?" Paimeng asked with some concern: "Who is the messenger mentioned? Do you want us to receive them together?"
"If I guess correctly, it should be Ying and Shenzi." Ying thought for a while and replied: "Because the plot has reached this point, they should come."
"Ah? Since it is Ying and Shenzi, what are we waiting for, let's go and pick them up quickly." Paimeng said happily.
The voice of the Eightfold Shenzi sounded here: "No need, we are already here."
"Son of God, Ying! It's really you." Paimeng said in surprise.
"Who else could it be but us? We came here specifically to deal with Guobeng." Yae Shenzi said with a smile, "We have been preparing for him for a long time."
"Where is Guobeng?" Ying said briefly.
"Messengers of the two tree kings, I will take you there now." Azar felt the divine power of the two and said hurriedly.
Ying nodded and said, "Yes."
Azar was leading the way like a younger brother at this time, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but strong excitement, because everyone here had a higher status than him, and through the void terminal he could sense the strong emotions in them. The blessing of the tree king can explain everything.
"Paimon, let's go." Seeing that Yae Shenzi and Shadow had followed, Ying turned around and greeted Paimon.
"Here, wait for me, Seno. Let's go and deal with the skirmishers first. Let's talk about some things when we get back." After greeting Seno, Paimon followed.
Because of Ying's departure, a group of golden guards naturally followed, and at this time, there was only Sai Nuo in the Jingshan Palace.
Sano: "."
Sai Nuo was silent for a moment, and could only sigh helplessly before turning around and leaving. He couldn't just sit back and wait, because he had to tell others about this sudden change.
When Sano arrived at the Grand Bazaar, he saw Alhaysen, Nilu, Disiya and others waiting here.
"Seno, how's the situation? Have you rescued the little grass god?" Desiya asked hurriedly when she saw Seno's arrival.
"No." Sainuo shook his head.
"Where is the Great Sage? If you go there, he won't be able to escape, right?" Elhaysen also asked.
Sai Nuo was silent for a moment and told a few people a shocking secret: "The Great Merciful Tree King has revived."
"What!"
Several people present heard the news about Seno and all exclaimed in disbelief. This was really earth-shattering news for them.
"Tell me what the situation is like?" Alhaysen asked calmly: "Where are the travelers and the others? Why didn't they come with you?"
"The thing is like this, I surrounded the great sage in the Jingshan Palace."
Seno slowly began to tell what he had seen.
"In this way, Traveler and Paimon are also believers of the Great Merciful Tree King. Although we don't know whether this Great Merciful Tree King is real, this has completely disrupted our plan." Elhaysen touched his chin and analyzed. He said: "Of course, I'm not saying that the Great Ci Tree King is pretending to be someone else. Azar is not that stupid. After all, we have not seen the Great Ci Tree King with our own eyes, so this matter needs to be discussed."
"Elhaysen is right. Even if the opponent is not the Great Ci Tree King, he is still a very powerful god. He can elevate an ordinary great sage to a level close to a god in an instant. This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do. No, even ordinary gods can't do it," Tinari also analyzed.
"Then what should we do now? If the Great Mercy Tree King really revives, what will happen to the Little Lucky Grass King?" Nilu asked with some worry.
Elhaysen said calmly: "At this time, it is no longer a matter of the Little Lucky Grass King. For the people of Sumeru, the influence of the Great Ci Tree King is much more profound than that of the Little Lucky Grass King. If this Great Ci Tree King The Tree King is real, and I will believe her without hesitation.”
"Elhaysen, you." Seno shouted angrily.
"Seno, what's wrong? Am I right? If she is the real Great Merciful Tree King, what's wrong with my belief in her? After all, she is the original god of our Sumeru." Seeing the suddenly excited Seno, Ai Erhaisen looked at him strangely.
"fine."
Sai Nuo still said with some reluctance, because she had met Nasida before, and he also knew that Nasida was working hard for Xumi, but didn't the appearance of the Great Merciful Tree King make her efforts in vain?
"Okay, okay, Seno, Elhaysen, you don't need to argue. As the people of Xumi, it is right to believe in the Great Merciful Tree King. But now that there is a new little Lucky Grass King, I really don't know what to do. If we It’s not good if the little Lucky Grass King turns a blind eye.”
Tinari opened his mouth to mediate: "Besides, we are still not sure of the identity of the Great Ci Tree King, so the most important thing now is not to argue, but to confirm the accuracy of the information."
At this time, Elhaysen had already picked up a book and found a place to sit down. While flipping through it, he said calmly: "I don't think there is a need to spend a lot of time to understand the truth of the matter. If she is true, As for King Daci Shu, we will know the news of her return in a few days, so we just have to wait quietly."
"Well, what Elhaysen said is not unreasonable. Let's wait a few days to see how the situation goes. If there is no news yet, then we will check it secretly." Tinari nodded. He also felt that Elhaysen's The method is very practical, just wait.
"Then let's wait a few days." Desiya also nodded.
