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

Chapter 283 281-What you want
  Rama knew that Apep did not believe in him.

Fukalos spent five hundred years accumulating strength, and finally made the first and only attempt before disaster struck.

In order to break a certain rule, He went out so hard, which corresponds to the hardness of this rule.

It took a god five hundred years to successfully try, and it was only natural that Apep did not believe that Rama could do it.

Rama himself felt that he could not do it.

But it doesn't matter, he can't be the pioneer of everything, but once someone opens the road, it will be much easier for latecomers to walk through.

Fukalos will destroy the system of the seven gods. Without the throne of the water god, it will be difficult for the incomplete god system to maintain the same strength as before. When that time comes, it will naturally be much easier to try.

[To take a step back, if I guess wrong, I won’t be able to do what I promised Apep... Maybe I will be dead by then. How much more can a dead person pay for cheating? 】

Rama exhaled, his eyes bright.

"You know the secret and the difficulty of doing this, but you told me that you can do it..." Apep pondered deeply.

His rationality increased sharply with the importance of the event, and even overcame the pain accumulated over a long period of time.

After all, this is a critical moment, and He needs to think about the best option for Him.

"You're lying to me."

After thinking about it, Apep chose to accept the reality.

What makes Apep hesitate about this matter is not that Rama knows a secret, but that he himself wants to believe that Rama can do it.

Emotionally, he hoped Rama could do it more than anyone else. The authority attributed to the ancient dragon could not help him defeat that enemy, because in his heyday, he was also pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Forbidden knowledge is a kind of hope. Apep is not sure whether forbidden knowledge can help him win, but he is certain that among all the chips that can be found so far, forbidden knowledge is the only one that can help him win. kind.

The ancient dragon's power is reality, and reality has verified the answer. No matter whether his power is complete or not, he cannot defeat that person.

Therefore, Apep pursued hope and chose to cooperate with the Red King to seek hope in a desperate situation.

But let Him choose. His first choice is definitely to complete himself and become a complete dragon, rather than an incomplete old dragon.

This power cannot bring back new results, but it will make Himself happy and satisfied.

He wanted to believe, so He hesitated.

But Apep is not a chess piece after all, he can still distinguish between reality and dreams.

It is impossible for Rama to liberate the throne of the Grass God. Even the current God of Grass himself cannot do such a thing.

"I am too weak, and to do this, you need strong strength." Rama himself gave the answer, "So you can't believe me."

"You may have many plans, but you are still too young and don't know that strength is what determines everything in this world."

Gu Long's voice was tired.

Suddenly, He lost the idea of ​​quarreling with Nasita and Rama.

It makes no sense. The real enemy is still in the sky. Just arguing with two children is too low.

The plan requires hard power as support. Rama is too weak. He can think of many possibilities, but there is no possibility that a weak person like Rama can reach the end.

"Ask me to execute the throne of the gods. I really can't do this." Rama naturally could only admit, "But there is a god in this world who hopes to do this more than you or me."

At the final moment, Fukalos pulled Navilette into a relatively independent space, and then staged his own execution and farewell in front of Him.

This is a bit of a secret, but after Villette regains his power and saves Fontaine, he cannot hide it... It seems that he has no need to hide his plan. After all, even a blind man can feel the drastic changes in Fontaine after the plan is successful.

This approach can only prove that Fukalos believes that the only thing that needs to be covered up is the process, and the ending is already insignificant.

With the power of the water god, he made such a judgment, and Rama naturally chose to believe it.

He didn't know how to cooperate with Fukalos, but it was a simple part - keeping silent, not revealing anything until the ending, letting the story happen until the ending happened. This kind of thing could still be done.

"You can't produce any evidence." Apep said solemnly.

This little guy is obviously weak and pitiful, but he seems to know a lot of things that he shouldn't know at all.

"I can't provide any evidence. Before He succeeds, I don't think anyone needs to know the process of this matter." Rama responded seriously, "If no one knows, no one will stop this matter. "

"Once a second person knows a secret, it is no longer a secret."

Don’t you regard yourself as the second person?
  Apep sensed some special situation.

Of course Apep also knows something about the secrets of the World Tree. Teyvat's life is almost completely dependent on the world supported by this ancient tree.

For the lives that rely on the world to survive, everything about them is also recorded in the world, but Teyvat has a more specific World Tree.

Rama's words would not cause too many abnormal reactions, but Apep had been exposed to powers outside the world and was quite keen on the keywords of non-Tivat.

Of course, this may also be a lie, but the process is the same. It was not Rama who convinced Apep, but Apep himself.

He eagerly hopes to see some kind of opportunity. No matter how slim the opportunity is, He will find a reason to convince himself.

Rama failed before.

Because even if Apep subjectively needs a hope, he himself cannot believe in a human being as weak as Rama. Even if Nasida says this, he will have more hesitation and silence.

But it cannot be Rama because he is a human being.

There is no problem with the human race. The problem is that the humans in Teyvat are too weak, so weak that they are not worthy of being trusted at all. Rama provided further evidence. Although it was a few specious words, Apep wanted to convince himself that he could always help Rama complete the imperfections.

He gave Rama the identity to gain power outside the world. This identity can first ensure that he can avoid the rules of the World Tree and prevent all secrets from being recorded by the world.

And with this identity, many things about Rama have strength as the basis of arguments - he cannot value a mortal, but the Red King has made him suffer a big loss, so that he and Nasida later reflected on this episode. During the story, He also admitted that Akhmar's level of madness was far greater than His.

Generally speaking, this is to say that the other party is a lunatic, but based on the background that one is overturned by forbidden knowledge, and the other party is able to use the forbidden knowledge to do things, this can only be said to be another way of saying that the skills are inferior to others. .

"Forbidden knowledge, the power of the ancient dragon...Since you know the power of the ancient dragon and plan to use it to make a deal with me, you should also know the relationship between the God of Grass's throne and Buyer."

"Then you should know the price of doing this."

Fukalos folded himself in, and then reluctantly completed his plan.

Although He had already differentiated part of human consciousness five hundred years ago - the reason why the first-generation Water God took risks was because His descendants, the pure water elves, longed to live like humans.

Is this a development guided by a special environment in Teyvat?
  Rama wasn't quite sure what it was about these extraordinary beings that envied humans, so much so that they had to completely transform into humans, thus leading to Fontaine's disaster.

If you just like human beings, you can completely transform into a human body without having to turn yourself into a human being.

But in short, the followers of the first-generation water god Egolia were so eager that Egolia could not refuse, and was warned by heaven after taking the risk.

Phokalos is a descendant of Egolia and the second-generation water god. He is the leader among the pure water elves that Rama cannot understand and wants to become human.

Before the plan began, He chose to divide himself, leaving his divine side to accumulate energy in the Cardinal of Oracles and Judgments, while his human side stayed in Fontaine and became the water god in the eyes of the Fontaine people.

Objectively speaking, Fontaine's story started out quite a bit abnormally.

It would be easy to say that one or two pure water elves have this idea, but it extends to the level of all dependents, as if all the Lannaros suddenly surround the Great Merciful Tree King, sincerely begging the Tree King to say that we want It's just as weird to be human.

But in short, in the end, Fukalos lost the god-symbolizing aspect, leaving only Funina as the last remnant.

Rama had to do the same thing if he wanted to unlock the power of the god of grass.

"I know that He will not pay any painful sacrifice for this." Rama pursed his lips, "If everything goes as I expected."

Furthermore, an untimely statement should be swallowed, Nacida never refused to sacrifice herself.

The Six Sages imprisoned him in the Jingshan Palace for five hundred years. Although he was imprisoned, he was actually never hurt.

However, after releasing Him, He faced the choice of sacrificing himself one after another. More importantly, many situations obviously would not reach this point, but Nasida forced herself into it.

There was no need to talk to Apep about this matter, since he had no reason to care about Nasida anyway.

"I fully know what you can give me." Apep did not pursue it, "Then, what can I give you."

According to Apep's own words, the Red King exchanged forbidden knowledge for his right to rule the sea of ​​sand.

This sentence makes no sense. Maybe in ancient times, this was indeed Apep's territory. But in the period after the Demon God War ended a thousand years ago, Apep might not have dared to set foot on the land above and claim it as his own. territory.

The skills are inferior to those of others. All seven dragon kings have been expelled, and Apep cannot defend his territory.

The Red King should also know this truth. He gave away forbidden knowledge in exchange for Apep's silence about his rule. This deal was worthless.

Even if He does not change, Apep cannot stop His rule over the sea of ​​sand.

The only explanation can only be that the Red King was already aware of the problem of forbidden knowledge at that time, but he did not intend to retreat and could not retreat, so he chose to make a deal with Apep and agreed that after his death, Give the forbidden knowledge to Apep.

The original intention of this matter was not to get anything from Apep, on the contrary, it was pure giving. It was only because I was worried that Apep would reject this "unreasonable kindness" that I chose to trade Apep for The recognition of His rule.

In fact, these are unimportant things. What is important is that Apep accepts this gift.

The safe was willing to be opened and dangerous goods stored inside, and that was all Akhmal wanted.

Rama's expression flickered, a little strange.

After all these years, there is no reason why He could not react... In other words, Apep's words are actually trying to forcibly restore his respect?

Or does it mean that he and the Red King did have some transactions that could not be made public, and what he explained to Nasida was only the most superficial level?
  This is all in the past, Akhmar is dead, and if Apep doesn't say anything, no one can give the answer.

Rama does not like to study the past, and unfortunately Teyvat's story itself is about unearthing the secrets of the past.

What can I expect from Apep?
  Rama thought hard.

Strictly speaking, he actually didn't know what he wanted from Apep at the beginning.

It was just the right opportunity to create a space of solitude. When he saw that Apep had this kind of power, he subconsciously developed an occupational disease and immediately went up to get an opportunity to exchange benefits... Anyway, Rama took it out. His interests are rarely important to him, so this occupational disease has not caused him much trouble so far.

When he sees useful people, he hopes to get in touch with them so that he can gain their support at some point.

But when it comes to whether these people will be used immediately, Rama is really not sure.

It's the same situation now.

Apep, he is the dragon of grass, powerful and knows many secrets... So what is his specific use?
  Rama was lost in thought.

In the underground hollow, Nasida was already standing beside Apep.

"He seems to be planning to sacrifice you." Grass Dragon's words were full of teasing.

"This has nothing to do with you, Apep." Nasida's expression remained unchanged, "Do what you want to do well, and I will give you what you want."

The young god shook his hands and feet slightly, as if he was not quite accustomed to this body.
