Chapter 194
Su Chen nodded, stood up and patted Nasus on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."
Nasus was a little confused.
"As a father." Su Chen said, "You have protected her for nearly five hundred years. I should say thank you."
If it weren't for Nasus, Nashida would not have been killed, but she would have been imprisoned in the Palace of Pure Goodness for five hundred years, which is a world of difference from now.
Nasus was doing his duty.
But this cannot erase his efforts.
So Su Chen still has to say thank you.
Nasus knelt on one knee: "Protect the last glory of Shurima. No matter what, the will of the emperor is the direction for us to move forward!"
"Your loyalty, I have no doubt about it." Su Chen pondered slightly, "Nasus, go and prepare. The first Ascension Ceremony will be held in Narimaj in half a month. At that time, I will summon all the ascenders, light up the sun disk, and announce the return of Shurima to the whole of Teyvat."
"Yes!"
Nasus took the order and left.
The Flower God whispered, "Is it too conspicuous?"
"Don't worry." Su Chen smiled lightly, "If this level would attract the attention of the sky, then the actions of the Abyss and the Queen of Ice should have dropped the Sky Nail long ago... Of course, now that the sky is silent, it is indeed our best chance."
Thinking to this point, Su Chen left the courtyard and returned to the depths of the underground palace.
The giant nail of the cold sky is emitting a cold and piercing edge.
Su Chen raised his head and felt the power of the law contained in it. It was part of the order of heaven and symbolized the desperate situation of "death".
"This broken thing should also disappear from here." Su Chen opened the Cardotia template, reached out to touch the Sky Nail, and the terrifying devouring power was quietly released.
(I didn't notice before that the Red King could smash the Sky Nail, which made me think I met a big boss)
Swish! ——
Black chains appeared on the Frost Sky Nail, with terrible power of order attached to it. The Red King obtained a powerful technological civilization by breaking this power, but Su Chen was not interested in those things. He just wanted to destroy the Sky Nail and devour the power of the Lan on it, turning it into part of the power of Cardotia.
This process was very smooth.
The Sky Nail, which was out of the control of the Heavenly Order, cut off the source of power. The original power alone was not enough to resist Cardotia's devouring - after all, his current template power had reached the complete state of the Thunder Dragon King, and the next step was to return to the form of a complete dragon.
In about half a day, the power on the Sky Nail was completely absorbed by Su Chen.
Bang~~
After losing the power to maintain it, the Sky Nail suddenly exploded, Su Chen's will emerged, and the yellow sand rolled up the ice and snow covering the underground palace and threw it into the depths of the distant desert. Soon the entire underground palace returned to its former appearance.
"Not bad, it's the level of a powerful pill." Feeling the increased power of Cardotia, Su Chen nodded with satisfaction.
The underground palace was very large, and he planned to expand it in the future and move some of the Shurima people to live underground.
Developing both above and below ground, double civilization, double happiness.
After doing all this, Su Chen returned to the palace.
At this time, the Shurima army had already set out. When the people heard that the emperor sent troops on an expedition, they cheered.
It's not that they like war, they are all battle maniacs, but the repression of the country's demise for 500 years needs to be released. The biggest enemy at the moment, the grass god, has become an ally in an instant. If you can't point the conflict to the rain forest, you should always find a target to vent, right?
Nasus did not lead the team to the expedition. He was still responsible for organizing the Ascension Ceremony. However, before that, the diplomatic condemnation against the Kingdom of Winter had been issued. According to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the Kingdom of Winter must apologize and compensate, and hand over the last slice of the doctor.
He knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily, but as the kingdom's cavalry set out on an expedition again, he believed that everything would become much easier after the Ascension Ceremony was held.
Wisdom is a necessary factor for practicing the truth, and strength is a powerful tool for practicing wisdom. Only when your fist is big enough, the other party will be willing to sit down and reason with you calmly.
Nasus knew all these things.
But there was one thing that made him very unhappy.
Why are there so few books in the Palace of Wisdom!!!
"What have Sivir and the others done for so long?"
Looking at the empty Palace of Wisdom, Nasus' heart was bleeding.
His books, the books he collected from all over the desert before he existed last year, are gone.
"Why, you look depressed, what trouble did you encounter?"
Su Chen's voice came, and Nasus, who was standing in the Palace of Wisdom reminiscing about the past, hurriedly turned around and saluted.
"Your Majesty... No, nothing, I encountered some small things, you don't need to worry... Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for Nashida, where is she?"
Nasus pointed to the innermost position, and a cute little head was buried in the pile of books.
Su Chen had said that he wanted to be quiet, so Nashida came to the Palace of Wisdom alone to continue reading. Everything here was a treasure house to her, and she was very interested in everything inside.
Nashida raised her head when she noticed someone approaching, and immediately jumped off the chair when she saw Su Chen, and bowed to him politely: "Meetings, father!"
This was not deliberate solemnity, but an excited worship!
She was just reading the great journey of attacking Shurima. The emperor stepped onto the high platform and shouted, "My soldiers, march forward!" That scene made Nashida's blood boil.
"You don't have to do this every time." Su Chen shook his head helplessly, "Just call me normally."
"Yeah!" The chicken pecked at the rice, and Nashida asked, "Did father ask me for something?"
Looking at the cute little guy, Su Chen unconsciously felt a very satisfied and happy mood, and a little proud. Tree King, our daughter is so cute.
Touching Nashida's head with some pampering, Su Chen explained his purpose.
Nashida, take you to see your mother.
I learned from the flower god that the Great Compassion Tree King was sleeping in the world tree. In the past five hundred years, he should have recovered a lot. Just in case, Su Chen wanted Nashida to bring the Heart of the Grass God. If the Tree King is still sleeping, the power of the Heart of God should be able to wake him up.
"I brought it!" Nashida took out a heart directly, "Before I left Xumi City, I was worried that the Great Sage would use the power of the Heart of God, so I took it out of the void temporarily."
"Oh?" As expected of my daughter, she was really thoughtful. Su Chen nodded: "Will this not affect the operation of the void?"
"It's okay for a short time." Nashida couldn't wait to say, "Father, let's go see mother!"
As for the worship of the Great Compassion Tree King, Nashida is no worse than any Xumi citizen. After all, Xumi City can't know too much about the great deeds of Emperor Azir, but it's just a matter of minutes to know the deeds of the Great Compassion Tree King.
From the initial creation of the rainforest to later leading the people step by step towards prosperity, bit by bit, being admired and trusted by countless people, Nashida also wanted to become such a wise god since she was a child.
But now she has seen a lot of the deeds of the Father God, and she wants to become a god like the Father God in her heart.
People are always easy to entangle, and so are gods.
But no matter what, the wish of the family of three to reunite has been expected since Nashida learned about her life experience.
"Then let's go."
Su Chen smiled.
He was actually looking forward to it.
After five hundred years of reunion, he fulfilled the promise and awakened the sleeping tree king. He considered whether he should say "Wake up, my love!" again?
With Nashida's guidance and Su Chen's power, it would be easy to open the road to the world tree.
Soon, they followed the ground veins into the center of the world tree and arrived at the illusion world projected by the world tree. The two people who were full of expectations were suddenly stunned.
Looking at the place where the breath of the Great Compassion Tree King was still lingering, but it was empty, Su Chen and Nashida looked at each other.
"Where are the people?"
...
Xumeru City!
The prosperous city-state in the past seemed a little dead and silent at this moment.
Whether it was the Grand Bazaar famous for trade or the Church of the Orders, which was mainly composed of scholars, all the people seemed to have a mountain on their heads - the Desert Emperor!
Although the emperor said that he had an alliance with the Great Compassion Tree King, this could not dispel the fear in the hearts of his people. Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, even if it is true, now that the Tree King's rule is no longer there, the emperor is back, and Xumi cannot have two kings. Can the rain forest remain like this in the future?
Especially after hearing the news that the Shurima Iron Cavalry is going to war again, most people are worried that the emperor's rule will come to Xumi City at any time.
But even the sages were easily killed, what can ordinary people like them do?
Pray for the protection of the Grass God?
Forget it! The desert attacked the rain forest, and it was the Lord Grass God who was the vanguard. I saw it with my own eyes!
Until now, the people of Xumi City still have such a picture in their minds-the majestic Lord Grass God led the desert army to attack, shouting the glory of Shurima, and threatening that "those who offend Shurima will be punished even if they are far away."
Although the style of the painting is wrong everywhere, this is the fact.
Lord Grass God has been controlled by the emperor!
Therefore, they could only pray to the ancient god, the Great Compassion Tree King, to awaken miracles and save Xumi from the crisis of survival.
Of course, many people also thought that since it was ruled by gods anyway, it might be better to let the emperor be the emperor rather than the little grass god. After all, the emperor was powerful. With him, why worry about Xumi not prospering?
So a large number of new fans of the emperor emerged in Xumi City, shouting "The emperor appears, Xumi prospers", marching along the streets. Because of the loud noise, the thirty-man group had to suppress them. But on the one hand, they were worried that the suppression would make the emperor unhappy, and they dared not suppress it thoroughly, which resulted in a counter-effect and made the public security in the city a mess.
In this situation, a large number of members of the Earth Fire took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. They were originally foreign aid invited by Azar. Now that Azar is gone and the grass god is gone, Xumi City is just a little kid holding a mountain of gold in their eyes.
When the white-haired woman in green walked into Xumi City, her emerald eyes were filled with nostalgia and a little confusion. She refused the void terminal that the guards gave her as usual and walked slowly on the street.
Everyone around her was deeply attracted by her beauty and temperament, and even the people who were parading the "Emperor Appears in Xumi" were stunned.
"What a beautiful person~"
Someone exclaimed.
Yes, the beauty of a woman is not only exquisite in appearance, but also a natural temperament, independent of the world, like a god who does not fall into the mortal world, exuding a soft and intellectual beauty.
Where she walked, dead trees came back to life, flowers bloomed again, and people dominated by fear and anger also calmed down magically, their hearts were like a lake, their expressions were happy, as if they didn't have to worry about anything.
"Who is she?!"
Some people followed the woman's footsteps involuntarily.
Just like in ancient times, the messengers of the sky walked the earth, and civilization rose where they walked, and the little humans followed their footsteps involuntarily.
This is the moment.
"Here... and here... It really hasn't changed at all."
"That place has changed, it used to be a tavern."
The woman whispered to herself all the way.
