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

Chapter 285 283-Challenge

After Rama was spit out, he stayed where he was and continued to wait.

As he left and lost the means of isolation like a barrier, Nacida easily sensed his location and found Apep based on this sense.

His face showed a rare sullenness, and the moment he arrived at the cave, he seemed to want to scold him.

However, Apep's voice rumbled out from the cave: "Buyer, I did this wrong."

Nashida's expression froze.

Before He even had a chance to respond, Apep went on to say something He had never thought of: "Please save my life."

"His brain is broken?"

Nacida asked softly in her mind.

Rama shook his head calmly, but didn't say much.

How could He admit his mistake? He actually said please?

Nasida looked suspicious, but after hesitating for a moment, she still stepped forward with the fire.

In any case, the course of the story should not affect the outcome of the story.

He still remembered why he came to the Sand Sea, to avoid the disaster of Apep pulling Sumeru and exploding, so He chose to save Apep.

If it were Apep's own life or death, it would be insignificant. Anyway, he would not bring anything to Xumi if he was alive, and he would not lose anything to Xumi if he died. Nasida herself did not care about the other person's life or death. .

But He is like a time bomb. As long as He dies, everyone around him will be unlucky.

Unfortunately, Apep is too strong, and his death will definitely affect the entire Sumeru.

If Nasida doesn't save Apep, he will be able to drag all the Sumeru people to the earth's veins. By coincidence, there might be a chance to see the Great Merciful Tree King.

Knowing this result, the choice is very simple.

As long as you don't plan to give up on Sumeru, Apep can only be saved... If you are strong enough to suppress Apep's self-destruction attack, it doesn't matter.

But if Nacida had this kind of strength, Apep would have been sensible long ago and would not be able to say such things as a little god.

The ending has been fixed, so Nacida can't do something that she wants to do, something that is good for her, because she is angry.

Nacida wasn't too angry either.

His temperament is so good that he rarely gets angry, especially when it comes to things that only involve himself. His temperament is even more indifferent and he rarely shows any emotion.

It was only when Rama was involved that He looked sullen and a little unhappy.

Of course, in this matter He was still partial to what Rama had done.

Apep's character is too obvious. He has the usual arrogance of the immortal species. It is difficult for him to keep an eye on Rama alone. After all, Rama is really not qualified.

"This is the fire created by me and the elemental life. As long as the fire is activated, the Heart of the Oasis can become active again." Nasida reached out and pushed, and the Heart of the Oasis quickly flew towards Apep.

The ancient dragon king opened his mouth and swallowed the tiny fire in one gulp.

This job doesn't really require much fighting.

After all, Apep is the Dragon King, and the degree of control he has over his body goes far beyond making the helper go through a fierce battle.

The upgraded version of Broken Rag that became the dungeon BOSS was just a warning given by Him to Brother Kong and Nasida for some reason.

The simplest thing is, if He really didn't want to accept this kind of help and didn't swallow them with the fire, could it be that Nasida had forced his mouth to enter the world inside his body, and then used the fire to activate the heart of the oasis? ability?

No matter what happens, the Heart of the Oasis is his own. He can completely control the Heart of the Oasis to stop beating after activation.

If you want to live, you just want to live. If you can live, no one wants to die. He is the ancient Dragon King, but survival is the instinct of all life.

Those who can easily give up their lives often do so because they take other things too seriously and take themselves too lightly.

Nacida was the latter, but Apep was definitely not.

When Rama and Him had spoken, the ancient dragon of grass was equally proficient in change and happily chose to apologize and ask for help.

He knew that if he didn't say this, Nacida would still choose to save him.

But if one or two words can make things smoother and bring more benefits, then He is not really shy and can't speak at all.

Those who cannot speak at least know when to remain silent. Those who offend others by speaking often are simply looking down upon them, not being ignorant.

It is because you are so sensible that you know when to hold on to the dignity of the Dragon King and when to speak in a gentle voice. People who are ignorant cannot be so measured.

"strength·······"

Apep's voice was like thunder.

The Heart of the Oasis is like a rusty mechanical part, it is very difficult to operate, but as its core, it still brings great help to Apep when it becomes active.

But Apep is actually not satisfied.

Normally, the power of immortals usually increases with the passage of time. It is hard to say whether they are early heroes, but they can definitely be regarded as late heroes.

Including Gan Yu, who works as the secretary of Qixing in Liyue Port, he is so busy that he naturally has no time to develop his talent of the fairy beast Qilin.

But even so, He will still accumulate more elemental power and become more powerful than himself thousands of years ago.

At most, it's just a lack of martial arts skills. If you master this kind of problem for a while, you can get it back soon.

But not Apep.

His power reached its peak during the Battle of the Throne, and then began to decline.

After losing the power of the ancient dragon, the forbidden knowledge he found gave him a heavy blow. Then he completed the symbiosis with difficulty, and then was deleted. Now, Apep can no longer even guarantee his own survival.

Now that the fire has activated the heart of the oasis, it can at most ensure his survival. Apep himself will never be satisfied.

But there was nothing he could do.

The way forward is actually limited. As the Dragon King of Teyvat, he has already stood at the pinnacle of his bloodline and race, at least the pinnacle of this world.

The only thing Apep can rely on is the power outside the world.

It is a pity that he does not even have complete ancient dragon power now. He is far away from his heyday, not to mention his grand goal of conquering Sky Island, which is even more like It's a joke, there's no hope at all.

"As long as you recover, I won't care about the rest."

Nasida shook her head, "I have your secret, but I'm not curious." Wisdom is the enemy of the God of Wisdom. When you are thirsty for wisdom, you must be careful whether it is the food thrown by the fisherman.

From his memory, he was able to find many such people, including the Red King and Apep in front of him.

Nacida was by no means uncurious.

When He was imprisoned in Jingshan Palace, His consciousness roamed the land of Sumeru. He would stop and observe even children playing games, and would even study the construction and arrangement of green plants on the streets. His curiosity was actually very serious.

It's just that he was able to restrain his curiosity.

"The power has returned, but I am not satisfied." Apep whispered.

He has no anger - with such little power, He really doesn't know why he is angry.

Just get out of a life or death situation and then start getting angry?

Those who didn't know better thought you had made a sudden breakthrough on the verge of life and death, but you just went from being on the verge of death to being half-dead. How could you possibly be angry?

"You are asking for forbidden knowledge for the sake of power." Nasida sighed, "I don't want to persuade you people. Anyway, you all have your own reasons. What will not change is that your endings are not good. And it always hurts others.”

"If it's you, you are qualified to say this."

Apep was noncommittal.

When Akhmar did the bad thing, he sat in the VIP seat and watched the whole process. Naturally, he also knew that this unlucky guy who originally lived in the rainforest had to go deep into the sand sea and give up his own strength to save the mistake made by a fool. This is true. It was a kind of reincarnation. In the past, He was a bystander. Because of Akhmar's choice, he had to choose to give up his own power to help Akhmar make up for his mistakes.

He had to do it, because what Akhmar did was not only killing himself, or turning the sea of ​​sand into wasteland.

The infection of forbidden knowledge will spread uninterruptedly, so that King Daci Tree will have to step in to solve the problem.

Then Ahmar died and the mess was left to the Tree King and Apep.

Now it is a new reincarnation, and the God of Grass is still a bystander outside of all problems. He himself has not done anything wrong, but because the person who made the mistake will definitely implicate more innocent people, He once again I had to step up and solve the problem.

The difference is that the tree king back then could still sacrifice his strength to solve the problem, at the cost of being transformed from a big sister into another "Nasita".

And Nacida can only rely on krypton life to solve the problem. He is too young, and even the talent of the devil is not enough to provide him with powerful power to replace the sacrifice... Although the problem of fire is actually because of It was His own choice.

If He had given up so much unnecessary mercy, Tinder would have been able to complete its intended mission.

He did extra things and had to pay an extra price for his choices.

The subsequent story did not happen, but now that the story of King Daci Tree has been transferred to Nasida, Apep still thinks that the other party is qualified to say this.

In all the disasters, He never got anything. Each disaster was caused by someone else wanting to get something that shouldn't be touched, but He often had to pay the price.

Apep had nothing to say.

The transaction between Akhmal and Apep was actually a secret, but in order to give Nasida more confidence to solve the problem, Rama explained the topic in another tone - anyway, he used it often Yes, Nasida would not look into it further and would just choose to believe it.

"Since you know that I have this qualification, then don't cause any trouble to me." Nasida exhaled.

He suddenly had a desire to say this. He didn't know where it came from, but he was indeed qualified to say it.

"Impossible, this is the only force that can defeat [Heavenly Law]." Apep's voice was even a little confused.

What other power can I pursue?

As a grass dragon native to Teyvat, Apep's talents in the world of Teyvat have been fully utilized.

However, the Phanes who came at that time was not from Teyvat at all, but a being from another world.

The peak of Teyvat was obviously not the peak for Phanes. He easily expelled the seven dragons from the continent, created humans on this land, and gave the world to human rule.

"I have suffered disaster because of forbidden knowledge, but if I stop pursuing it, what more can I expect?"

The path of power left to humans is very narrow, and the path left to these ancient dragons is also not wide enough.

Nacida was silent.

The other party has said that they will resist the laws of heaven. Although they are the beneficiaries of the Seven Ruling System, the attitudes of the Seven Gods are very subtle on this matter.

At least Nacida had nothing to say.

"After being expelled from the territory, [Dragon King] obtained the power of darkness from outside the world and led us to resist the non-dragon order."

Apep seemed to be convincing himself, "Although [Dragon King] also failed in the end, we see hope from it."

Compared to being easily controlled by Fanes the first time, the second resistance can already be called a real war.

Although Fanes was the winner, he also paid a certain price for his victory.

"I want more hope at the edge of the world that is about to be broken, but the giant nails dropped from the sky warn me not to do unnecessary things," His words were filled with excitement, "So do you understand, Buyer, He I am also afraid of such power."

"Afraid?" Nasida didn't think so, "Just pretend that He is really afraid, but you should also have seen what Akhmar's behavior brought to the desert. Are you really sure that you can use this kind of power to bring fear to the desert?" Is the order that came here still considered your original order?"

"At least at that time, it was the order of dragons, not the order prescribed by outsiders."

Apep spoke coldly.

Forbidden knowledge will bring the entire continent of Teyvat to death, whether it is specialization or anything else. In short, Xumi's story confirms the harm of forbidden knowledge to the world.

But Apep's words reveal a simple logic.

The world must first be my world, and then I will consider its life and death.

If it is not mine, I must first complete my revenge and regain the dominance of the world, but before that, I will let it die.

Nasida shook her head, no longer having any extra thoughts.

"Farewell, Apep." His expression became obviously cold, "I hope you will still be in such good health when we meet next time."

"Need I remind you, Buyer?" Apep said sarcastically, "Since that time, there have been no healthy dragons."

"I will also look forward to our next meeting, God of Wisdom."

"Wisdom is the enemy of the God of Wisdom. If you say you will never fall into such a situation, then I will stay on the sidelines for the time being, and then wait until the moment you die because of your infinite curiosity, I will save my life because of you. And appear to find you a suitable burial place.”

He said word for word, "And in my heart I despised and mocked your words today."

"Then let's wait and see, Apep." Nasida accepted the challenge.

Regarding the future of the God of Wisdom, He does not feel that he will lose.
