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

Chapter 350 Chapter 348 - God of Wind

After a while, Rama regained his strength.

His body is far tougher than that of mortals, and so is his soul and will.

Even though he fell into dreams more often, his body could still recover quickly after he escaped.

As Rama climbed up, the figure of the Great Merciful Tree King was like a broken lens, and then turned into white powder, completely disappearing into the golden dreamland.

Rama noticed that something seemed to have taken root in his mind. He frowned slightly, but did not refuse.

Sure enough, he wasn't completely dead.

The good news is that He is not completely dead, but the bad news is that He has chosen to stay in his mind... I'm sure both of them are good news. If it weren't for Him, the carrier would be Nasida.

From this point of view, both are good news.

He reached out and pushed open a certain ajar door. The door to the golden dreamland opened, and Rama left quickly.

No one was here waiting for Him, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction or resentment at His failure.

In a world where everyone has what they want to do, there is no time to pay too much attention to losers.

What's more, this is just a baseless attempt.

The Great Merciful Tree King opened the way for them. If they succeeded, they would have to consider whether Rama was qualified, and even if Rama was qualified, whether they should hand over their things to Him.

And if Rama fails, it will be more straightforward. He will take the benefits and leave, so there is no need to stay and continue to waste each other's time.

"()Hi, little brother."

Someone patted Rama on the shoulder and said, "What's the result of the experiment? Doesn't he have anything serious?"

"Dead." Rama brushed his hand away, "So if you don't go home to take care of your dragon, why do you stay in Sumeru?"

Wendy blinked and said with a smile, "Oh, have you forgotten what you promised? But I haven't forgotten it."

He raised his fingers and said in a brisk tone as if he was singing a poem, "You promised to go to Mondstadt to replace Barbatos and become the new God of Wind. I understand your hardship because of failure, but you can't do it because of yourself. If you feel stuck, you will stay where you are and not move forward!"

The poet looked surprisingly serious, "You have to believe that you have a better future. It's just a failure. What does it mean?"

Rama was silent.

"Such words come from your mouth...how many steps have you made in the thousands of years since you became a god?" Rama held his forehead.

For things like beating chicken blood, even a Thunder movie is much more suitable than Wendy.

The biggest faker in the game currently, and the God of Wind who loses the reputation of the gods the fastest in his appearance, can actually say that he should not stagnate just because he is in a bad mood.

"I have also done a lot of things." Wendy said angrily, "For example, without me, where would the people of Mondstadt find such good knight leaders as Vanessa and Qin!"

"By the way, talking about this, I have a question." Rama avoided answering and asked a casual question, "What do you think of the Lawrence family?"

A simple and easy way to deal with a person's problem is to give him a question, so that you don't have to give a positive answer.

Rama was not disappointed.

He was very conscious and understood that he was facing something terrible - a habit of failure, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Before the story of Sumeru officially begins, Rama succeeds at least nine times out of ten. During this period, he will not doubt himself. If there must be a problem with the world or himself, Rama will think it is the world's problem.

It doesn’t work now. People who lose nine out of ten times think they can win the next one because they lose and lose nothing. If they don’t win, it’s basically the same as death. Of course they will and can only think that they will. win.

Rama's situation is slightly different. He is indeed failing, and he is constantly losing good opportunities. For example, in the grand gamble of reaching the sky in one fell swoop, he lost completely. King Daci Shu gave him hundreds of retrospects. Even if he had the chance, he couldn't choose a correct answer.

But if Rama really lost something because of this, then all he lost was actually the opportunity itself.

If we insist on talking about gambling, Rama can only be said to be a two-dollar lottery. Of course, if you don't win, you will lose the opportunity to make a lot of money. But if you want to say that you have lost something important because you didn't win, you can probably only say that you have lost. The opportunity to make a fortune itself?

The biggest punishment for failure was that Rama could only clearly see his own inability to do certain things.

He will inevitably pay a heavy price in the future for today's failure, but not today, not now, just in the future.

There is no way to say this to Wendy. To share your thoughts and feelings about failure, it is best to tell everyone openly after you succeed, I am Huaiyou Buyi.

You can just write it down with pen and paper in hand, why should I feel ashamed to speak because of my past identity?

But if you are a Huaiyou civilian all your life, there is no need to publicize it to others.

It’s not that the commoner is an identity that is too shameful to be spoken out, it’s just that failure itself is the same as suffering, and it’s not something worth showing off. If these things have any value, they are the people who have survived these painful years themselves. It's just something worthy of praise. If you can't survive it, there's no need to say it.

The power of words usually does not lie in the language itself, but in the person who combines the words and sentences. Whether it is worth your time to spend a long time analyzing his words.

Such as exams.

It insists on asking you what the meaning of a sentence is. Unless you don't want this point, you can only analyze and think about the role and value of this sentence.

Rama felt that his recent experience of failure was indeed rich, but it was indeed a bit shameful to share his experience of failure with Barbatos.

After all, as far as the plot is concerned, Barbatos has not yet suffered any specific failure. Rama cannot use his identity as a loser to teach the successful god a lesson.

Wendy blinked.

Of course he understood that Rama was digressing, but the question deserved a moment of silence.

"What do you think?" He asked rhetorically, "He said that your ideas are simple and direct, and are more effective than the opinions of normal people."

"I am a Sumeru man. No matter how efficient I am, I should not interfere in Mondstadt's internal affairs." Rama refused to answer.

This issue is really not difficult for Him, but He is not the authority, so the decision he makes is of course simple and straightforward.

For example, He can make people give up hatred, and can also promote the concept of eye for eye, tooth for tooth... These essentially have nothing to do with Him. No matter whether the Lawrence people are doing evil or atonement, these have nothing to do with Rama. relation.

If it doesn't matter, the words that come out of your mouth will come naturally and easily.

"But you are about to become the God of Wind in Mondstadt. The failure of Apep's path does not mean that you have no other way to go, right?" Wendy smiled, her expression always so light, "If you You are the God of Wind in Mondstadt, so these troubles will be yours to take care of."

"Kill him."

Rama almost without thinking, "It has been thousands of years since the noble days of Mondstadt."

During that period, Vanessa, a prodigy who influenced the entire Mondstadt and even the environment of Teyvat, was just a slave back then.

"It's not that hatred can't last for thousands of years, but it requires constant fighting against each other, so that hatred is like a chain, firmly trapping the people on both ends of the chain."

"And there will be no such relationship between Mond and Lawrence."

The earliest conflict should be between the Mondstadt aristocracy headed by Lawrence, the Mondstad commoners headed by Vanessa, and the real aristocracy headed by Gunnhild and Legenfend who uphold the early ideas of the Wind God. contradiction.

Theoretically, the aristocratic class and the civilian class are naturally opposed to each other. This has been proven by the Xumi people. Any superhuman privilege must be supported by inferior cows and horses.

The so-called privilege must be the result of comparison.

But the difference in Teyvat is that the aristocracy and the assets they sit on are worthless to the God who weighs everything.

Laws and morals can be interfered with by Morah, but divine determination cannot.

This is not purely because they are powerful, but also because these gods have long lifespans and their own wisdom is outstanding enough.

Even a young god like Nasida can solve most problems with her mind-reading ability.

This also means that when the gods make a judgment, they are difficult to be affected by external forces that humans can create. The final judgment is naturally fair relative to the collective.

Gunnhild and Legenfeld realized this.

In Mondstadt's royal family, Lawrence has been hammered into the ground and it is impossible to climb out, but the remaining two great nobles are still Mondstadt's powerful people today, thousands of years later.

Of course, limited by the freedom granted to the people by the God of Wind, even though they were great nobles, they did not enjoy many privileges most of the time.

Although they still have more opportunities, this is an inevitable event determined by their background, and they do not need to forcibly kick others out and then sit back and enjoy the results.

Similar to Qin and Diluc of this generation, they went from the position of Knight of the West Wind to the leader of the Knights. If the Cripps incident had not happened, the two of them would have probably competed with each other.

They definitely don't need to push other competitors through secret operations to sit in that position. After all, in terms of ability, talent, and their own personal team, it is obvious that their family background can give a lot of extra help.

Unless Vanessa pops up again, the normal Zephyr Knight will obviously not be able to compete with these two.

There are two ways to succeed: tear down the opponent's platform and build up your own. Usually, the two go hand in hand to achieve stability. In most cases, only the latter is enough.

And this is relative fairness. They did not use special means, they just used some things that they already had at home. There is no way to be more fair.

Leghenfinder and Gunnhild had wanted only the latter early on, but Laurence wanted both in parallel, to be king rather than noble of this human kingdom.

Things like right or wrong can only be determined by the outcome. It is obvious that the Leigenfende family has long understood that even if the Wind God does nothing, Mondstadt is the Mondstadt of the Wind God, not the property of a certain noble or a certain force.

Of course they can't lift the table with the Lawrence family when it's at its peak and demand that the other party restore Mondstadt's early order. But once they realize the end of Fengshen, they will immediately become the best pawns and give Winnie no matter the cost. Shah builds momentum.

To say how much they thought highly of this foreigner who was a slave was quite ridiculous.

At that time, Vanessa was just a gladiator, and she was also a Natar. Her biggest relationship with Mond seemed to be that she was brought here by fate to fight in a gladiatorial battle to ensure that her people could survive.

It is difficult to support someone with this kind of status.

Even if she grew up in Mondstadt and only has Natar blood, it would be unreasonable for this person to sit directly on the equal position of the king.

What's more, she has no relationship with Mond at all.

But in the end Vanessa took all the fruits of victory and became the uncrowned king of Mondstadt from a foreign slave.

Vanessa herself may not care about these changes in power and status, but these changes in her status must be inseparable from the support of the nobles who Mond was able to take charge of at that time.

This was the situation Lawrence faced.

Not only the normal civilian class, but also many people within the nobility are dissatisfied.

They were unwilling to confront Lawrence head-on when Fengshen had not expressed his stance, but once they discovered the traces, they would immediately become Fengshen's pawns, ready to tear apart any evil party that attempted to trample on free will for the freedom defined by the god.

Rama glanced at Wendy and said, "Before the war ended, Lawrence had committed so many evil deeds that he was not worthy of forgiveness. He could have been beheaded and executed under the statue of the god in front of the cathedral, and his blood would be used to deter all those who dreamed of stepping on the people." Nobles above their heads, and comfort ordinary people who are injured but unable to resist.”

Wendy laughed. This matter really has nothing to do with him.

As soon as he woke up, the Lawrence people had done all the bad things. He was the god of wind, but after all, he couldn't go against time. He only had time to compensate but couldn't save the injured innocent people from disaster.

"But hatred could not continue on that day, because Lawrence no longer had the subjective conditions to do evil, and the people only had one-sided resentment against them. On this basis, resentment would turn into contempt and contempt over time. , but it can no longer be counted as hatred.”

They were completely unable to fight back. Even if there were still people with hatred at the beginning, it would be very difficult to maintain hatred towards such a group of people after a thousand years.

When no one specifically reminds people, people forget hatred very quickly.

If Lawrence spends more time promoting some news with added information, people will forget it faster.

Even if Lawrence's evil deeds are written in the books, the new generation of Mondstadt people will probably only think that "these people are really so bad" or "such bad people are their ancestors, and they are just paying off their ancestors' debts" "Isn't a thousand years enough to repay this debt?" He believed that the hatred had come to an end.

"You mean, they should be forgiven?" Wendy touched her head, "That's right, Qin thinks so too."

"In terms of time, a thousand years is indeed enough to be forgiven." Rama nodded slightly, "But I still support the direct execution of them all."

"You said their sins have been cleared, why do you want to end the story with killing?"

Wendy was a little surprised.

Rama made it clear both in and out of his words that the fate of being spurned for thousands of years has been repaid for the actions of his ancestors thousands of years ago.

Firstly, human life is indeed not that valuable, and secondly, this matter has indeed taken too long. The debts of the ancestors can indeed be counted on the descendants. After all, the support of the descendants' enjoyment is also part of the sins of the ancestors.

But a thousand years... this is really too long, and no matter how hard you pursue the debt, you can't pursue it for so long.

The world of Teyvat also has extraordinary power, but the difference between human lifespan and Rama's impression is not very big. It is indeed unreasonable to have a lifespan of a hundred years to bear a debt that exceeds a thousand years.

Rama also supported that Lawrence had been exonerated of his sins, but His decision clearly ran counter to His rhetoric.

"If you want to forgive these Lawrence people, the first thing you need to do is to liquidate all the Monds people who have been hostile to the Lawrence people in recent years." Rama spoke calmly, "The innocence of some people means that others are guilty. .”

"But hatred cannot be settled. You can only choose one side to destroy. It is impossible for both sides to realize that the hatred is really over at the same time."

Lawrence didn't just redeem his sins from now on. At some point in the millennium, they had no debt to any Mondlander at all.

If he did not accept that sins could be repaid, then Lawrence should have gone directly to the Louis XVI Happy Machine when Vanessa revolted thousands of years ago.

Their sins were the ones that deserved to be liquidated in that era. Since they were allowed to live, it also meant that they were allowed to atone for their sins.

If the concept of atonement is established, there will be no sins that cannot be repaid at all. It is simply that ordinary people cannot have such life span, property and ability to repay.

But what an individual cannot afford, a family can afford after spending thousands of years on it.

To tell the truth, their crimes were at most on the verge of rebellion. Even because of the strength of the Demon God, they still played this game under the freedom of Barbatos' planning and did not dare to openly challenge Barbatos.

As for selecting a few girls during the badminton festival and entering his home... I can't say it's not a sin, but if you think about how serious a sin it is, it's not really a crime.

If the emperor didn't choose to count these crimes directly according to the genealogy at that time, it would be impossible to punish them for thousands of years later.

"Either you don't give them a chance to atone for their sins, or if you give them, you have to admit that they will become innocent one day." Rama said seriously, "But the Monds probably never considered this. They oppressed a group of innocent people. Anyone who sins is equivalent to having committed a sin himself.”

Lawrence was not really helpless.

Of course they couldn't resist the Knights of the West Wind, but when it came to a certain Mondstadant they met by chance who scolded them, their fists and feet were still enough.

You may not be able to let them know that you are a good person, but you can at least let them know that they cannot be unscrupulous in front of you.

With Yora's strength, she can definitely hang up every Mondstadt who jumps in the face and beat them up. Unfortunately, she can't. The only thing she can do is to go to the tavern to drink away her sorrows and find a beautiful person who only appears in her dreams. future.

"Just because of this?" Wendy's expression was a little heavy.

"It's just because of this." Rama nodded and said, "It's really troublesome to weigh right and wrong, because I don't think it's right for a minority group that has made mistakes and is improving now to stand on the opposite side of the majority group that is making mistakes."

"So it's better to make mistakes and take advantage of the fact that they are no longer considered innocent by the public. Simply nail their mistakes and let everything settle and become a reality."

These words should not have been said to Wendy, but Rama was too lazy to hide them.

He was not as calm as he appeared when he failed to reach the sky in one step.

"This is something Vanessa should have done well. In those days, if she killed Lawrence, it would only make the people applaud and not cause any unnecessary trouble."

"But she left the trouble to future generations. The reasons for killing became more and more inappropriate, and the criminals became more and more innocent, but the people were still used to treating them as criminals."

"If this continues, some people will still have to face the situation of making mistakes and seeking justice."

Wendy shook her head, "Jean wouldn't do that."

Rama turned and left, "Of course she didn't want to do it, but she didn't do anything for Lawrence, right?"

"In a fight, if the strength and weakness are too obvious and you choose to sit back and watch, then you have made a choice."

Even if you have no reason to intervene in the conflict, it is even possible that the strong beating the weak is a reasonable event caused by some reasons.

But choosing to remain silent when the outcome is already obvious is acknowledging the outcome that the matter will most likely develop.

To be more specific, it's just that you think the answer is reasonable but it just deserves to be dealt with, or you think it's unreasonable but you dare not say the difference between the two.

Jean was already very brave, she gave a man from Lawrence a chance to become a knight.

Yula was even more brave. She took a path that she couldn't even see the way out of. Rama still had a chance to regret it, but although he regretted it, he still couldn't find another way out. And Yula started from the beginning. I knew I shouldn't take this path.

The Knight of the West Wind is the best way out for Mondstadt people. This road is almost free and open to Mondstadt people, but there is no guarantee that those who take it will be able to reach the end.

But it won't be open to Laurentians alone.

Unfortunately, brave attempts do not necessarily lead to good endings, and some endings may even occur earlier than the thing itself.

This wasn't a debate, Wendy was testing Rama's behavior, and Rama told him plainly and unabashedly.

I am not interested in whether Mondstadt is right or wrong. If I were the god of Mondstadt, I would only make choices in the interests of the majority of Mondstadt.

Even if I already know that this answer itself is oppressing the victim, and the majority party is actually the perpetrator, I will still choose this way, because this result is easier to balance and more likely to satisfy the people of Mondstadt.

Lawrence was only a small part of Mondstadt, and sacrificing them in exchange for the laughter of the majority of Mondstadt was not an embarrassing choice for Rama.

This choice can actually satisfy Wendy.

All he needed to know was Rama's attitude towards Mond, and it worked out very well.

He does not covet all the interests of Mondstadt, but only hopes that the people of Mondstadt can maintain a relatively peaceful and normal life - not look for trouble casually. On this basis, he will lead all Mondstadt people to live a better life.

In this process, the people of Mondstadt will gradually realize the value of the new wind god, and then give up their faith.

A simple transaction, I bring peace and convenience to the people, and the people give me faith, and I don't care about anything else.

There was no reason for Wendy to be dissatisfied. If Rama was the second-generation God of Wind, he would certainly not be satisfied with the idea of ​​using the Mondlanders as tools.

But Rama is a tool god, a war tool just for dealing with certain variables. This is the most dedicated attitude of a tool god.

He only wants what he wants and sticks to his job without going too far... It would be better to say that he has no interest in Mondstadt's rule at all. All he wants is the people's faith.

As a tool god, this could not be more qualified.

There is certainly room for nitpicking and looking for trouble, but Rama was not a lover of others at all.

His attitude towards Lawrence is essentially his attitude towards the Teyvat people. He is a tool god, and the Teyvat people are also tool people.

In Rama's eyes, the fundamental purpose of solving problems is to enable the people around him to work more efficiently for his desires, so it is not important how the problem is solved, or even whether the problem is solved. .

The only important thing at this time is to make most people feel that the problem has been solved.

They felt that all the years were peaceful, as if everything was as they wanted, and they would naturally provide Rama with more and more solid beliefs.

"It's a very realistic idea, but if it's His identity, it's just right."

Wendy murmured softly, "After all, he doesn't think of himself as the god of wind, he only thinks of himself as a war weapon that should be paid for in the transaction."

I don't want to get involved in any political affairs in Mondstadt.

You think freedom is what the people of Mondstadt need, and I will pursue this philosophy.

If you think Mondstadt should be left to the people of Mondstadt to govern, I will sit on the shoulders of the statue and look down at Mondstadt but never say a word, letting the Knights of the West Wind do their thing.

What do you think Mondstadt should look like, and when you hand it over to me, I'll make sure it's still the way you want it to be.

Because I am just a tool god and not the real next generation wind god. When it comes to Mondstadt, I don’t need my own opinions or my own thinking. I just need to obey the ideas of the real wind god. It is enough.

"It's so reassuring." He touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Rama must have considered this, so He spoke clearly and directly.

This is just a transaction.

"No matter."

After a long while, the God of Wind left with a hearty laugh, "That's all I need to do. Let the Mondlanders handle the rest."

Of course there was distress, after all Rama could see at a glance that he didn't love anyone at all.

But a god who doesn’t love people can still maintain his position as a god, as long as he works well.

Wendy had no intention of asking Rama to do more.

This is just another attempt. There is not only one way in the world. This time Rama failed, maybe he will succeed next time. Anyway, you just gave him a chance.

Sending the Heart of God is one way, releasing the ancient dragon power of Tewarin is also a way, and now making Rama the God of Wind is still a way.

There wasn't much that He needed to pay for on these roads. Rather, there was nothing that Wendy particularly cared about.

So of course He could be so confident. After all, what he took out were just some insignificant things.
