Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 277 275-He and Him

Nacida got the answer, but after hesitating, she had another question.

"If it weren't for the good luck that you just got my memory from the dream, I probably wouldn't be able to recall this." He asked, "So that elemental life is actually to tell me in the future The truth, so you actively chose to go to the Rock Abyss to try to retain these memories?”

The elemental beings encountered along the way were all ignorant of everything, and they didn't even know the name [Fire].

Theoretically, all elemental beings should be in this state, but an elemental life that lives in isolation and goes to the rock abyss alone has such a special behavior. Naturally, it must have an answer that matches this behavior.

It is willing to accept a different fate from others, so it can do things that other elemental beings cannot.

Keep the truth and tell it to God who needs to know.

"I don't recommend that you follow this path to find the answer, Nasita." Rama looked at the god and spoke seriously, "This is the only thing it can tell you, no matter what it pays for these truths, I mean ······That’s all it does.”

"If you are looking for the truth about [Fire], you spend time going to the Rock Abyss to find an elemental life that may be sleeping or dead. This time-consuming behavior is understandable."

"But you know the truth, and it's a waste of time to go down to the abyss just for an elemental life that carries the truth."

Spending time and wasting time are obviously different situations.

"It should know the truth." Nasida said. "If it is what you say, it should have suffered for a long time, just to wait for a moment."

The life of the elementals who gave up their memories might be miserable, but the lives of their kind who left in order to remember would only be more difficult and difficult.

It has been waiting for a long time, and if it is still alive, it must still be waiting for the moment when the answer will be delivered.

Rama's words made its waiting worthless, because it kept secrets, waiting for the secrets to be revealed when asked by the gods. One person said that he had seen this scene in a dream and already knew the answer.

Nacida didn't know the absurdity of this answer.

A man who has lived hard for hundreds of years just to keep a secret elemental life, Rama said that I saw the scene of you making a contract from a dream, and I know the answer so you don’t have to look for it.

Convenience is real, and absurdity is also real.

Nacida only felt ridiculous for a moment, but soon she chose to believe it and enjoyed the convenience of seeing the answer in advance.

The situation in the Rock Abyss was complicated. He was not worried about any crisis he would encounter, but was worried that the elemental life was dead, or was alive but could not be found at all.

Once you know the answer, you don't have to worry about it.

"Are you pitying it?" Rama didn't wait for Him to answer, "That's right, it waited so long just to say a word."

"If you don't let it speak out, its long wait will be like a boring drama, boring and ridiculous."

If Funina's five hundred years of playing god ended with Fukalos failing, Funina would probably have the same attitude.

"It might not last long, it might even be dying."

"If I don't find it, it will have endless regrets before it dies, resenting its own incompetence, complaining about why it can't hold on longer, and even worrying that because of its own death, the God of Grass will not be able to complete the key to the contract. One step to save the suffering Grass Dragon.”

"But he actually doesn't know that the reason why the God of Grass doesn't look for it is not because He forgot, nor because it failed to hold on, but because the God of Grass has already obtained the answer from another place."

Rama paused and said, "It is no longer worth the grass god's time to waste looking for it."

It's really a bit tragic when you think about it.

"Yes." Nasida nodded, "I guess it is facing a certain death situation. It may even be dead. I can't save it."

Apep was able to save him because He was so strong.

His heart only needs to beat once to continue to support and repair this broken dragon body, allowing him to continue to live.

But faced with this situation, ordinary elemental beings would be unable to save themselves even if they managed to survive until today.

"However, I want it to know that its hundreds of years of perseverance in pain were worth it, and that its efforts were the key to saving Apep."

The sacrifice was not in vain, and for the person involved, this is obviously more gratifying than the posthumous gift.

Nacida could reveal to everyone afterwards that there was such a being, who had stayed in the dark place for hundreds of years, just to tell him a secret that would change the world. Apep may also remember such a special elemental life, and in order to save himself, he endured the erosion of taboos like him.

But for it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as valuable as meeting and telling Nasida the truth in person.

Because it was waiting for this moment and lived hard until today.

Just like the gods in a foreign land, they also have to play the role of the gods that people think they are for hundreds of years in order to wait for the final judgment.

For them, death is liberation, the beauty of finality, and a beautiful path, and is not worth fearing.

Life and death are no small things, but the value of some things is much more important than life and death.

"If this is what you want, then of course you can do it." Rama bowed slightly, "You are the god of Sumeru, and you are qualified to decide everything about Sumeru."

"But this doesn't seem to be your line, Rama." With Rama's acquiescence, Nasita had a strange expression, "You seemed to be persuading me not to do this before."

"You are the god of Sumeru and have the right to decide everything about Sumeru." Rama repeated again, "Including the fate of Sumeru people."

It’s not that I’m trying to persuade you not to do it.

It is a fact that the other party has waited for so long, and it really deserves a better ending.

It's definitely impossible to save him, but it doesn't hurt to look for him.

Without this kind of compassion, Nacida would not be the God of Grass in the plot.

Rama has no grievances against the other party, so naturally he will not stop it from completing its mission.

The two words of persuasion are actually a kind of emphasis.

In the legendary mission in the second act, Nacida's performance was actually quite... average.

As a god, He shows more compassion and charity, but does not have much judgment and reason.

In other words, besides sacrificing himself, He did not have much decision-making.

For the first time, I used fire to save the old elemental life. This can be said to be a necessary sacrifice to get the truth.

Later in the desert, after being warned not to abuse the power of fire for the second time, He chose to use fire for a group of unlucky people who could not be saved and could only be rescued, which directly led to the critical use of fire. The rupture of moments.

At this time, the conversation between Him and Brother Kong was, it doesn't matter, I have expected it to be destroyed, but since I made this thing, of course I can make it again.

Of course Brother Kong asked, what’s the price?

Nasida's answer is outrageous. I will reverse my life again, and may become the same as when I was first born... Huh? Are you OK?
  He obviously knew the answer before using it, but he still chose to abuse the power of fire.

The fire was broken, that is, I was able to sacrifice myself to solve the problem.

You clearly know that it will break if you use it this time, why can't you not use it?

If it was for the sake of the overall situation, he should understand that as the God of Grass, he was far more important than a few elemental beings. At that time, Xumi had just experienced the turmoil led by Azar and the others, and he needed a god to preside over everything. situation.

His behavior was no less than that in war. The enemy general caught two soldiers and told General Fang that if you don't commit suicide, I will kill them.

Then our general cut himself off without any concern.

This kind of threat is usually a threat from a superior to a subordinate, such as seizing the human body of Athena and threatening the Saints, saying that if you don't die, I will kill the human body of your goddess.

If the enemy threatens the goddess's human body with a Saint, regardless of what Athena thinks, his colleagues will probably blow up their teammates without hesitation... No, no, no, with the Saint's In terms of collective personality, they may also directly choose to kill themselves the moment they are used as a threat.

A small soldier can threaten to replace a general. Let alone a small soldier, he is your own son. You can't do this when the two armies are fighting!
  You can see the life and death of these two soldiers, but you can't see the victory or defeat of the war, or the life and death of other people, right?
  Everything in the story is based on Nacida's subjective choice, and it is very clear. She knew the price of all choices, and then chose to do so.

To be honest, this is really not the level a god should have. It cannot even be said to be benevolent and compassionate, but an idiot who thinks he is kind.

Rama was very assured of a kind person, so he always regarded Qin as his best partner, including the desert people in Sumeru. In terms of trust, Qin was also higher than them.

But Qin is not at this level.

Everyone in the cult knows how to threaten by arresting a few more living people. If you leave a few "dead people" who can't be rescued, you will be compensated together. What else is Xumi doing?
  As we all know, being a good person requires a higher level of ability than being a bad person. Otherwise, you can't even protect yourself and you won't be able to be a good person.

People with low ability and kindness usually cannot do good things, but will cause trouble.

If all the gods in Teyvat were of this level, and the cult could just capture two ordinary people and threaten them to die collectively, the cult would have succeeded in revenge long ago, and there would be no need for them to hide until now.

You have to know your own value, your role, weigh your abilities, and then make the final choice.

As a god, his method is to sacrifice himself at every turn, and when it is clear that he can not sacrifice, he chooses to sacrifice himself in order to save some unimportant "dead people" who cannot be saved. This should not be praised as kindness, but can only be regarded as madness.

"For the weaker party, sacrifice is actually an unavoidable method." Rama said, "But as far as I know, whether it is a necessary sacrifice or an unnecessary sacrifice, sacrifice should be the last choice, and Don’t be prepared to sacrifice right from the beginning.”

You can be prepared to sacrifice. After all, you are facing a difficult war that is not easy to win. But preparation is preparation. You can't just take a shot at fate and then charge forward with a bomb in hand.

Dude, at least give it a try? Necessary sacrifices are unavoidable in many situations, but you can't apply them as a routine!
  "Are you persuading me? But I don't understand why you say that." Nasida looked a little confused, "Is it because I hope to give it a better ending?"

The gods felt strange.

This kind of rhetoric is somewhat unreasonable. It is true that the situation is urgent. If it is difficult to find that elemental life and it takes too long for Apep to be able to bear it, it will actually be very difficult to hold on.

But what does this have to do with self-sacrifice?
  "Sacrifice is a choice that weighs the pros and cons. Lose less and gain more." Rama said seriously, "The point is not self-sacrifice, but understanding what is precious and what is cheap."

"I understand." Nasida nodded, "This idea is indeed a bit naive. Apep's matter is more important. For the elemental life underground, perhaps doing things well is a better choice than the truth."

"No, I mean, compared to Sumeru or more, you are more important." Rama shook his head.

"But if Xumi and I are two sides of the scale, then to whom are they more important?" Nasida tilted her head, "There must be someone who weighs the importance of two things."

He looked at Rama, who looked calm and said, "The one standing in front of the sky is of course you."

"You will weigh who is more important, Xumi or yourself."

"I will not make such a trade-off." Nasida denied, "I will not stand in front of this scale, because Sumeru is more important than me, and this is not worth weighing and considering."

"That's not me either." Rama rubbed the god's cheek offensively, "For me, Sumeru is not as important as you, and this is not worth weighing and considering."

"Humans would describe this behavior as...preference?" Nasida tilted her head.

"No, generally speaking, this should be considered a crime." Rama denied the argument, "Go back, I will go to the Abyss and tell it that its mission has been completed."

"You want to go with me, I am not confident that I can convince Apep." Nasida was not entangled, but silently recorded this behavior, planning to go back and read the dreams of Sumeru before making a conclusion.

"We are the ones who save people. If he doesn't want to be saved, then let him die." Rama said calmly, "In this regard, we don't need to ask him."

If Apep can really put his life under dignity, then let him die.

Anyway, Rama didn't believe that Sky Island could watch all the people die.

"I can't bet on this anymore. Apep's life and death is His business, but I don't want the Sumeru people to suffer disaster because of this."

Nacida frowned slightly.

Just like Heulia, even though he was killed semi-voluntarily, after his death, he still turned most of the people who betrayed him into salt statues.

Powerful life forms, let alone death, even if they only take a few steps, they will bring disaster to the innocent people under their feet.

Even if Osel did not come with the desire for revenge at that time, he only needed to swim close to Liyue Port twice, and a large number of mortals in Liyue Port would die.

The immortals and Qixing intercepted him, and even the recruits of Qianyan Army in Qunyu Pavilion could not hold him back.

If you were an ordinary person and got closer, you could have a dinner on the spot.

To do this, Osel didn't need to take a special look, just passing by was enough.

Apep's rank is higher than both of them combined. His life dates back to the period before the devil appeared. That was the era when the seven dragons ruled the world, and Apep has lived from that era to today. .

The disaster caused by his death was enough to make Sumeru return to the "no man's land", and even spread further.

Nasida's worry about the pervasive elemental power of grass was actually a small matter, because at that time, there should be no one in Xumi, so there was no need to worry about the trouble caused by the excessive concentration of elemental power that would nourish the growth of grass and trees.

This was what Nasida was worried about.

Rama, on the contrary, would be a little worried if this disaster only affected the desert.

But it can affect an entire country at once, and wipe out an entire country's humanity at once. Sky Island cannot allow this to happen.

The floods in Fontaine were based on the judgment of the former Water Goddess Egoria for stealing the power of the original fetal sea and turning the pure water elves who were her dependents into the first-generation Fontaine people. The floods also targeted the power of the original fetal sea water. of Fontainebleau.

In the early days, Rama actually had some special ideas, such as what exactly meant a Fontaine person.

Possessing the nationality of Fontaine, settling down and living in Fontaine, or is it some more special definition?

After all, Fontaine has been a country for a long time, and the definition of Fontaine people obviously includes multiple divisions. Rama has considered whether he could change the nationality of some Fontaine people, or arrange them to go to the desert of Sumeru. Let’s see. See if the water can reach this place to avoid the so-called prophecy.

This prophecy is aimed at the Fontaine people, but the Fontaine people obviously need to be given a more specific and detailed definition to distinguish the difference between Fontaine and foreigners, otherwise it will be no different from the indiscriminate massacre.

Later episodes revealed that it was divided along racial lines.

The Fontaines are not actually Teyvat people.

The Teyvat people are the main body, and the Fontaine people can basically be classified as a branch dependent on the Teyvat people, and can be regarded as a subspecies of human beings.

There are decisive differences between the subspecies of humans and Teyvat people. Both sides have the same shape, living habits, and language, but they still have essential differences.

The prophecy is to kill these sub-race Teyvat people.

Assuming that the ancestors were the first generation Fontainebleau people, and later went to other countries to settle for various reasons, and finally returned to Fontaineble to do business, they would still not be able to escape the dissolving power of the original fetal seawater.

Because it targets the attributes of the race, not the Fontainebleau people in the broad sense.

This is a small study, but once the subsequent plot emerges, there is no need to study it.

It directly assigns people a label of a subspecies of human beings. Normal assumptions and considerations are based on the fact that the Fontaine people are also of the Teyvat race. It will certainly not directly deny their human identity. .

But the plot directly denies it.

They are not considered human beings at all, so they can naturally be killed accurately.

This is the big story of Fontaine, and it is also the source of the prophecy that their country will be destroyed. But does Xumi have such a big problem? In any case, the God of Grass should obviously be classified into the end of the hard work, no matter As for Fontaine, he violated the taboos of Sky Island.

Counting this time, Sky Island has arranged two national-level disasters.

One time was Camria, where civilians were cursed and turned into Chuchu people, which led to the emergence of the Order.

Once it was Fontaine, who had that prophecy because Egolia violated a taboo.

Xumi is not like this. If it encounters the disaster of national extinction, there is no reason for Sky Island to sit still.

If the trouble is small, Sky Island may not necessarily take it seriously, but the death of Apep is still a big event, and Sky Island can sit still without any reason.

Nacida's words proved that the Sky Island was basically shut down during this period, so there was a plot to destroy the Heart of God, awaken the Heavenly Law, and use this to threaten Dotore.

But people will fall asleep and wake up. It's just a matter of whether the alarm clock rings. Sky Island can also survive such a big explosion. Rama also plans to make some big news.

Rama does not have such expectations, he still believes that Sky Island will come out to clean up the mess.

However, this speculation obviously failed to convince Nasida. He would not put the certainty of solving the disaster on others. Obviously, he believed in himself more.

His eyes were intense, and Rama nodded in agreement.

"Have you ever thought about it, I'm actually pretty good at it." When he agreed, Rama still sighed, "Is there a possibility that I actually can't say anything in this matter?"

When you talk to Apep, can he look at me favorably?
  There's really no need to put such a high hat on me, I can't bear it.

Nasida said without hesitation, "But if you are by my side, I will feel much more at ease."

The God of direct ball attack stated his reason, "This has nothing to do with strength. I don't believe that Apep is really willing to die."

My efforts are habitual and I don’t want to leave the solution to the problem to others, but you have to ask me if I really think that things are difficult to solve and it is worth my all-out preparation and efforts...I I really don’t believe that He wants to die so much.

If Apep was really so unruly, there was no reason for him to be alive today.

Of the seven dragons of the same era, the three who appeared have obviously completed a rebirth, but Apep is still alive.

If He is alive, He must have bowed his head.

Otherwise there is no reason why He could still be alive.

"It's just psychological comfort." Rama thought for a while, "Okay, just go and see how the Red King is doing."

That’s not to say that contact with Apep is completely without benefits.

He devoured the body of the Red King, who had always been Rama's intended target.

Maybe after this step, he can become Him.
