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

Chapter 318 Chapter 316 - Words

Not everything needs to have a utilitarian purpose. You may not actually think about it when you do it, but you just do it habitually.

But such things can generally find a utilitarian explanation.

For example, Corporal Li Xian, of course, this can be said to be a person with such noble conduct, worthy of everyone's worship and imitation, but at the same time, it can also be understood as a means of gambling for reputation. Buying horse bones for a thousand gold is the most direct description.

What I want is not this horse bone, nor is it your useless piece of wood, but I need to use you to tell the world how much I respect talented people and how well I will treat them, so I will choose Treat you kindly and gently, and even give you a treatment you don't deserve at all.

Because I’m not looking at you, but at the many more people you can influence.

This does not mean that a polite and virtuous person is a scheming hypocrite. On the contrary, with this attitude, one should look at others' gentleness, courtesy and thrift, and must give the other person a certain purpose, while refusing to admit that the other person is indeed a gentleman. , this is more like a hypocrite.

But this also shows that as long as you are willing, you can always find a utilitarian reason in a person's choice to do things.

This actually has nothing to do with what He thinks. It’s what you think He should think.

This was Rama's understanding in this matter.

He couldn't quite understand why Nasida suddenly felt that he, the great sage, needed to realize that Sumeru had a part of him.

Nasita did not emphasize to Rama that you, a Sumeru person, should make sacrifices for Sumeru.

He was simple and straightforward, telling Rama that this country has a part of you, so you need to choose this country for what is yours.

This is Rama's long-standing habit. If I need you to do something, I will definitely start from your interests and tell you what I will give you, and then you will consider whether my conditions can satisfy your thoughts and ideas. .

Rama liked this straightforward logic, but he did not understand Nasita's sudden concern.

After a moment, a smile brewed on his face, "Because I accepted Morax's conditions, I will become the Rock God of Liyue?"

Nacida was silent.

"I shouldn't worry about this." After a moment, he looked at Rama steadily, "There is only a deal between you and Morax, and he will not really let his country be ruled by a foreign god. "

If Zhongli really cultivated any new God of Rock, he would of course hand over Liyue to him with confidence.

This is a kind of inheritance between school ideas. Students taught by a teacher usually inherit the teacher's teachings. It is difficult and unreasonable for him to abandon his teacher's position to do anything.

And Rama is equivalent to the successor of a heretical doctrine.

At a critical moment, Zhongli could use this person to promote his ideas, but he would never really hand over his school to Rama.

Rama said noncommittally: "You really don't need to worry."

Games are games, reality is reality. Of course Rama has a very good impression of Morax's series of demons in the game, but he will not really bring this good impression into specific decisions.

Accordingly, there is no need for Morax and others to completely believe in Rama.

It can only be said that this is a very delicate period, and there is some kind of disaster brewing in the depths of the world that can destroy everything. When the shadow is cast, these demons seem to be much easier to talk to.

Most facts have proved that after external pressure rises, including when the invasion and co-optation methods become more and more dangerous, internal unity is easier to build.

The lovers of demons are not the kind of love whose brains are broken. They do not have complete trust in Rama. So much so that as soon as Rama opens his mouth, they pat Rama on the shoulder and say, "Which of us will follow whom? Do you want it?" Of course I will give it to you... No, it really isn't.

"But I'm still worried." He said simply.

Rama deliberately teased him, but finally decided to do so.

When the little girl confesses that she is worried, it is actually quite stupid to say "what are you worried about" or "are you really worried".

"They don't believe in me." Rama squatted down, gently picked up the god, and then put it on his shoulder, "So I will only choose you."

When the words came out of his mouth, Rama was surprised to realize that these were the only words he could say.

His original intention was actually to describe that he would definitely choose Nasida, but after getting used to blurting it out, there was only a conditional expression left.

You will believe me, so I will choose you.

He sighed softly, and after a moment, his heart still completely calmed down.

But Nacida was relieved.

He actually thought so too, but seeing Rama's plan progressing and even considering going to Liyue to contact the Seven Star Immortals and discussing becoming the second generation Rock God, he was still a little worried.

But after Rama described it like this, He suddenly became calm and calm inside.

Cooperation is cooperation, but who in the world would believe such a Rama?

He is not a good person, and everyone knows that His trustworthiness and honesty are always due to the fact that the price of betrayal is not high enough.

Only in this way would the stupid god of grass choose to hand over all the decision-making power to Rama without worrying that he would do something bad, so Rama could only choose this stupid god of grass.

"I am at ease," He whispered.

Rama's expression was a little difficult to express. He could only exhale slowly and swallow the words "You are happy."

I just feel like...it's not necessary.

Fortunately, Nasita has a completely loli body shape, so Rama's not too wide body can support such a move.

The god didn't mean to come down directly, but instead shouted softly.

"Rama."

"Yes, I am here." Rama was thinking about how to remind Nasita that it was time to come down.

He just casually made a move that seemed to have been thought about for a long time, but when he actually put it on his shoulders, it felt unnatural.

"Come out for a walk with me," Nasida said.

"I have walked through Xumi City many times, and you plan to go for a walk together just like this?"

Rama reminded.

"That's good." Nasida nodded, "The great sage...it's not a strange thing for the gods' relatives to be together with the gods, right?"

"Okay." Rama nodded.

If the person concerned doesn't mind, he himself has no attitude.

After all, this can be regarded as some kind of honor, and there is no need to hide it.

So Rama spent half the afternoon accompanying Nasida to measure the entire city of Sumeru step by step.

This city has always been like this without much change. Even on the day when Rama knocked on the city door, he chose as gentle a method as possible.

At that time, the winner had been decided, and there was no need to use any cruel means to intimidate the Sumeru people. In addition to the work of eradicating the roots, this part of the work is also part of the problem. Almost all winners will make this move to some extent. Rama did not think that killing the blood of the Six Sages was a warning to the monkeys. means.

People from Sumeru avoid it.

If it were just Nasida, they would be able to muster up the courage to approach the gods, and even pray to the gods for some kind of illusory blessing.

But with Rama, they no longer had such thoughts.

"They fear you, but they don't hate you," Nasida said.

This is not to appease Rama, but a real result of perception.

Although she is the God of Grass, Nacida's ability has nothing to do with the elemental power of grass, just like another power rule.

"I know," Rama nodded, "I don't mind this fear."

"I promised you that I would promote this special alchemical potion throughout Sumeru." Rama suddenly remembered something serious, "The world needs heroes, not a large number of hero followers, a way to help ordinary people. In fact, it’s of no use anymore.”

Because of Rama, alchemy is highly sought after by people in Sumeru.

Many people have tried to capture some key factors from His research and then made their own attempts.

Rama did not suppress this pursuit, but even secretly encouraged it.

In the early stages of the story, He insisted on the idea that one person is weak in intelligence and two people are strong in intelligence, hoping to improve the basic numerical values ​​​​of the Teyvat people, and then conduct his own research on this basis.

Even now, He still carries this concept, so he recruits talented scholars from the Seven Kingdoms.

Including the three wizards in the Xumi legend, they have now joined his laboratory.

Rama did not encourage them to give up their own research directions and become tools for their own experiments... This is really a waste of a person.

Most people's talents are limited, and they are often concentrated in one or a few areas.

Their achievements in their own fields have been verified by legendary missions. It does not mean that other fields are not suitable for them. Many people only discover their true talents in middle age or even old age, but that is too late.

In fact, there are not many trials and errors in human lifespan.

So Rama encouraged scholars, not warriors.

This idea was also criticized by the desert people who followed him. In their view, this was a complete betrayal.

Everyone knows that there are no educational conditions in the desert.

When you choose a scholar over a warrior, you are essentially choosing a rainforest over a desert.

This is an idea determined by Sumeru's unique environment. Rama does not control their speech, and of course he has no intention of paying attention.

"The only value of research is to provide people with a longer life, and then allow them more time to make their own contributions in these fields." Rama said, "In fact, my early words were that I hoped that Produce large quantities of experimental materials."

He said this without any embarrassment, as if he were describing what he had for breakfast.

“When I’m an ordinary person, I can use ordinary people to advance my research.”

"When you have a little bit of elemental power, there are still a lot of materials with divine eyes in this world that you can try to use."

"And once I get closer, the people I can choose are very limited."

Diluc, Qin, Shen He, Dadalia, Maplehara Manyo... The five and four stars of the game prove nothing. Most of the game characters essentially provide a story. , Rama likes their stories, and also likes the characters built based on the stories.

But back to the actual research work, there were only a few people left that Rama could choose.

And he actually didn't have many thoughts in this regard at that time or even now. After all, he liked the stories of these people, so he was reluctant to attack these people.

Now one step closer, Diluc's materials have also lost their value.

The research put on them may still produce certain feedback results, but these feedbacks are no longer likely to affect Him.

The only thing left to choose is actually the Demon God.

Nacida said nothing.

Of course, Rama's words are not implying that I need you to go to the test bed. To be honest, Nasita really can't imagine this level, and Rama can't do it either.

He was just complaining.

Complain about this neurotic environment.

"Would it be easier if you knew less?" Nacida asked softly.

"Yes." Rama nodded, "But I would rather know more."

"After all, only in this way, when I fail, can I comfort myself as much as possible that I tried my best."

This is really not a very good appeasement.

When people try their best to do something but fail, the frustration and actual losses it brings are actually greater.

It's okay to do your best and obey fate.

After obeying destiny in everything you do, you will not feel at ease if destiny forces you to lose.

Rama didn't mean what he said, but he still used this rhetoric habitually.

If failure is used as an assumption, the last thing that can be used is this argument. It cannot be said that if I fail, I will cut off my own head first so that the other party cannot kill me... It is not necessary Be a funny character at this time.

What if you win?

Nasida didn't ask.

Because this is really a stupid question. When you prepare everything and successfully defend against this kind of disaster, then of course it is a good thing.

There is no need to ask or think about good things.

"You look so stupid when you have nothing to say." He commented.

"When you know that I have nothing to say, shouldn't you also imitate me?" Rama said softly, "You should also find something to say."

"No more," Nasida said with a chuckle, "What I want to say to you, I have already said to you in Jingshan Palace."

"Then I will remain silent." Rama spread his hands, as if helpless.

They walked through the entire Xumi City and finally returned to Jingshan Palace.

When they parted, there were no words from either side.
