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

Chapter 317 Chapter 315 - Bonds

When Rama had nothing to do, Sumeru people discovered that their great sage was actually in Sumeru.

Rama is the great sage in name only. Everyone knows that he does not care about anything at all and is only responsible to God.

Before he replaced the red king's divine power, this kind of behavior was somewhat unpleasant. After all, Rama did not enjoy the power of the great sage regardless of doing anything. He was the only one among the great sages in the past who turned the great sage into a The man who became the de facto king.

The selection of a great sage among the six sages essentially means the victory of one of the six major colleges of Xumi in a certain period.

But knowledge, unless it completely destroys the other party's existence, the other party will not surrender easily.

The Great Sage is the embodiment of this kind of struggle. You can temporarily sit in the first position representing your doctrine, but you will not sit in the first place forever.

Doctrine must distinguish between right and wrong. What is right is right. It can be covered up, but it will not really become wrong.

Xumi's system was built by King Daci Shu. In his time, no doctrine was absolutely correct, and the truth was always in His hands. Therefore, everyone did not have the obsession to destroy each other - this could not prove one's own Correct, the truth is only in the hands of the Tree King, and if it is not to prove his own justice, then there is actually no need to distinguish between life and death.

By the time the Tree King fell, the system of the Six Schools of Meru was already stable. Anyone who wanted to stay as a great sage for a long time and help his own theory take the first place would be surrounded and beaten by the other five sages.

You may be right temporarily, but you will always be right, and there is no need for us to exist.

It is also for this reason that the great sages of the past dynasties were very restrained.

No one among them has ever been the winner in the real sense. It is more just that it is your turn, and you happen to be the sage of this school at this time, so you naturally become the great sage.

This kind of great sage is subject to too many constraints and has to pay attention to too many principles. In terms of actual power, he is actually higher than the sage and is not worthy of his status.

This was not the case with Rama.

He is just the opposite of all the great sages. He has completed the gathering of power and truly established his identity as a great sage.

Because of this, it is still very unpleasant for a person to sit in a position and enjoy power without taking on the responsibilities that come with it.

Rama knew this, and he felt that his research was important, but he had no intention of irritating anyone. Although he did not feel that he needed to be responsible for anyone else, he still chose to make most people happy.

He rarely appears in public, covers most of the Great Sage's actions, and is almost directly isolated from the people of Sumeru without any contact.

When they didn't see Him, the people's mood naturally became more comfortable.

Most hard-working people will be much happier when they can still enjoy happiness without seeing a trick.

This attitude changed until Rama's success, when the Sumeru people realized that this great sage who did not deal with government affairs could achieve a different kind of mortal ascension to the gods, and planned to extend this experimental result to ordinary people of Sumeru. During the procession, they tacitly put away all their previous complaints and devoutly completed the excess of faith.

In fact, whether Nasita makes this concession or not, the result will be the same.

A diligent god of grass can only make people's lives better, but Xumi has actually gone through an era without gods for five hundred years. For most Xumi people, whether there are gods or not is actually a question. It's really innocuous.

Even if people don't know that the God of Grass has actually been vacant for five hundred years, this is how they actually feel.

Probably now, it is better than when the previous generation of Six Sages controlled Sumeru.

The rainforest people definitely feel that things are getting worse, and the desert people also feel that the good things are limited.

The former is a matter of course. After all, the desert people no longer want to be dogs, so those tasks have to be left to the rainforest people.

The desert people were not satisfied with the expected benefits. They did not come here to live in peace. The fruits of a conquest war were suddenly cut short. Of course, they were very angry at the God of Grass's last partial interference.

Without knowing the inside story, they had even begun to instigate a new trend, hoping that the ascended Rama would challenge the divine power of the God of Grass and completely turn Sumeru into the territory of the Red King.

Since the previous compromises and concessions were due to the interference of the God of Grass, now that you have become the Demon God, you should be able to challenge the God of Grass, right?

Rama didn't care about any of this.

He couldn't care for the desert people like a father does for his son, nor could he be said to be irresponsible. In short, Rama thought that he had done this to the extent that it was enough.

That's not to say that we can't go a step further and allow the desert people to enjoy privileges, but Nacida may not be very happy in this way.

After all, although the God of Grass is the God of Sumeru, he is first and foremost the God of the rainforest.

The three gods co-governed, the desert was handed over to the Red King and the Flower God, while the rainforest was the territory of the Grass God.

Although nominally people call the God of Grass the god of Xumi, in fact Xumi is ruled by three gods. It’s just that the Flower Goddess and the Red King had their own plans one after another, and then happily embarked on different roads leading to the end of death.

The current situation of the desert people is largely due to the miraculous operations of these two people.

Of course, they all have their own reasons for making certain choices.

But there are actually not many people in this world who do things without reasons, and everyone does not pay attention to the reasons. They only focus on the impact of doing so and the consequences that need to be paid.

Five hundred years of imprisonment cannot change this foundation.

At the end of the story, the rain forest still occupies the absolute upper hand. At least on the basis that there is no desert dweller among the six sages, Rama cannot see any big reward for the efforts of the desert dwellers.

The rewards of successful political investment should be unreasonable because the risks are well worth the rewards.

Under fair competition, desert people may not actually have the opportunity to occupy a sage's seat. Putting aside the mechanism of student inheritance of sage's seats, from the perspective of knowledge and ability, Setale may not necessarily be able to win. ········If Setare can't win, those desert students who don't even have names have no hope. We can't expect that there will be a Shilipo Sword God among them. Although he has no reputation, he has great ability. But superhumanly powerful, right?

As far as scientific research is concerned, there are basically no geeks with no reputation but extraordinary abilities.

Because research costs money, you must either have money or your abilities have been recognized by certain people, and thus you have received large investments.

Since these scholars are not well-known, they may have a traditional mechanism within the academy to suppress desert people, but their abilities are probably not that amazing, and they are naturally not destined to be sages.

But since the desert helped Nacida, and Nacida succeeded in ascending to the throne, they should be guaranteed a seat as a sage in return for their investment.

This kind of reward is definitely not something that should be talked about openly, but it should actually be given. Sadly, no.

This is not Nasida's problem, it's probably because Teyvat does not have such a history. After all, gods imprisoned by humans like Nasida are definitely very rare.

Even Heulia is capable of self-destruction, making those salt people who betrayed her pay a certain price.

A case like Nasida's being helped by humans, supported by the desert people, and then able to counterattack and kill her superiors is completely worthy of being written into textbooks and becoming a unique case.

When the rain forest has the advantage, Nacida will definitely be willing to take the rain forest to help the desert.

But if the desert intends to encroach on the rain forest... Rama is not sure of this answer, and he does not intend to actually verify this answer.

Having promised Nasita to take a look at his country, Rama also tried to attend various occasions where great sages should attend.

Sometimes people never expected His arrival, but when they arrived, they were surprised to find that the great sage who never appeared was already sitting in his seat, waiting for their speech.

Rama caused quite a reaction when he first appeared. People's first reaction when they saw Him was not admiration, but outright fear.

They obviously thought that something bad had happened again, so that the great sage planned to raise his butcher knife to kill a group of people to solve the problem.

But Rama just sat quietly until the end. After the last proposal was completed, He stood up and left.

He had no objections, and it was not for the purpose of killing people. It was as if He was just here to listen to these habitual verbal battles.

Daily work is like this, everyone's verbal fighting is the norm, and some key decisions really need to be made... To be honest, the real key decisions are usually made by two or three people, and the rest Everyone is responsible only for obedience.

At Nasita's request, Rama appeared on all occasions where he was theoretically supposed to be present, and finally came to a simple conclusion.

"It seems to be the same with or without me." He said very seriously, "Don't you think the operating mechanism of Xumi is actually very good?"

"Most of the Seven Kingdoms are systems built around gods, but in the actual process, some gods will slowly break away from them, allowing the kingdom to gradually operate independently."

"The gods have supported the development of the entire country with their long-term wisdom. In this process, only the gods are the only core. Including the senior knights of the past generations, the Seven Stars, etc., they are only temporary tools that can be used at any time. Replacement.”

"The Great Sage should not be an exception."

Nasida said softly: "So, you still think it doesn't matter?"

"You clearly know that the real purpose of me asking you to take a look is to make you aware of your relationship with this country, and the answer you gave me in the end was that great sages should not be such exceptions, only gods are The only core.”

"You still don't care much about Xumi."

Except for Mondstadt and Sumeru, no country is truly free from the gods.

The old man in Liyue worked so hard that he even had to retire after holding a funeral for himself. Dao Wife’s otaku girl controlled Dao Wife with her own will. Fontaine... Although Fukalos is also a quiet person. The earth did its own work, but on the surface, it left Fonina and Navilette behind. Navilette was actually the de facto water god of Fontaine.

Mondstadt is because Wendy really doesn't do anything divine. As the first-generation God of Wind, the records she left in the history of Mondstadt need to be counted in terms of "times".

Including the early overthrow of Diehlappian, the selection of Vanessa, the killing of Dulin with Tevarin and the current suppression of Tevarin, these are actually the only times where His appearance has been described in detail.

Maybe He was drinking in a tavern in some capacity during the process, but He obviously didn't interfere with any of the Knights' choices.

Under such circumstances, the Mondstadts had no choice but to become independent and self-reliant.

The Sumeru people are even more direct. Their gods are imprisoned and they can't work at all. The Sumeru people are naturally very self-reliant.

Theoretically speaking, if the wisdom of the gods is truly universal and powerful, Liyue Daoshi should have crushing power over Mondfontein.

But in fact, these four countries can be called brothers and sisters. Putting aside the injection of non-human factors such as immortals, there is no decisive strength or weakness in the four countries in the starting order.

In the world of elemental power, there is no systematic guarantee that everyone can control the elemental power. The gap between weapons and armor is also relatively limited. It is just that the skills on the other side are more exquisite, and the skills on the other side are slightly behind, far more than The decisive difference between cold soldiers and hot soldiers.

Especially with Kanria as the boss of the town, the development of these countries with gods is actually relatively average.

Countries further behind, such as Fontainebleau, had already begun to engage in fully automated industrial production in the era when the Mondstadt people used windmills. This generational difference in productivity is actually very terrifying.

If it weren't for the war between human kingdoms in Teyvat, it would be unlikely that the Mondstadt would be laughing at this moment.

Nasita was asking if Rama saw the country's dependence on Him and that He should reciprocate that dependence.

And Rama told him that only gods are the core and only thing of a country, and the great sage does not need to be.

He could say a lot more, including continuing to elaborate on the value and influence of gods on the human kingdom, but in fact, this is enough.

He does not care about Sumeru.

Nacida was not disappointed, but certainly not happy.

He puffed up his cheeks in a rare move, and after a moment he exhaled.

Standing in front of Him with a serious look on his face, Rama was wondering if he would be jumped up and kicked in the knees if he just poked him.

"I don't quite understand why you suddenly want me to examine the relationship between Sumeru and me," Rama said suddenly, "Do you think I will leave Sumeru and go to other countries?"

The essence of this act of deepening the bond is to worry that the binding force is no longer enough, but Rama doesn't quite understand why Nasita suddenly has this view.

It's quite interesting.
