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

Chapter 409 Chapter 408-Stress Response
Rama looked at Nasita.

As expected, Nasida's compromise was not difficult to guess.

He and Rama had different reasons for doing this, but there is no doubt that they were both motivated by their resistance to Sky Island's strategy.

Canria is a disaster for the country, and so is Fontaine.

Just looking at the books, no one can tell that Sky Island is showing mercy.

The defenders of the new order seem to only know how to raise the butcher knife and use killing to solve all problems.

"Violence can indeed solve problems. This is not Sky Island's fault." Rama thought, "Their mistake is that they have lost the violence that can solve everything, but they still want to use violence to solve problems."

Although the default rule is that we may not be able to solve the problem, but we can at least solve the person who asked the problem, thereby indicating a stable state of nothing happening.

But the problem with Sky Island is that it has become weaker.

Of course, tyranny is also a kind of order, but if He wants to maintain such an order, he needs to ensure that he has a more powerful force than maintaining other orders.

Once it becomes weak, it cannot continue to maintain its hegemony.

Whether Sky Island has become weaker or not can only be determined from the actions of the Ice God.

At least for the Ice God, he already has a feeling of "acting like a real man". Collecting seven God's Hearts is obviously not within the scope promised by Sky Island.

Now that he has done this, he will inevitably face a heavy blow from Sky Island in the end.

This is a classic question. Are foreign enemies more disgusting, or internal traitors?

They are usually internal traitors.

The God of Ice is also a beneficiary of the Seven Ruling System. His challenge to the order of Sky Island is even more disgusting to Sky Island than Rama, the foreign enemy.

If the Ice Queen is willing to wave the flag and charge, Rama is certainly willing to follow closely behind.

"It's just to defeat the order of Sky Island. If Forbidden Knowledge is willing to give the dragons a second chance, I don't think there is any problem."

Nasita understood the implication of Rama's words, "In other words, forbidden knowledge may not give the dragon kings a second chance, and the dragon kings may not want a second chance."

The road to seeking skin from a tiger is not an easy one.

Sky Island is a tyrant, and the forbidden knowledge outside the world is not a friendly neighbor.

"The stories of the Seven Dragons, the Red King and Kanrya can all prove that forbidden knowledge is not harmful to the person involved, and may even be helpful." Rama said, "But I think this is not a standard answer. It would be wrong.”

Not a suspicion, but something that is bound to happen.

At least Rama believed that forbidden knowledge was bound to come back to bite its temporary owner.

It just hasn't won, so of course it appears peaceful and friendly.

But if it wins and Sky Island fails, it may not be a friendly neighbor.

"So you still insist on doing this?" Nasida couldn't hear any fear, "Even if you know clearly, there are problems with both paths."

"I have never been the one to decide what to do, Nasita." Rama was very helpless. "I have made many choices. On the surface, they are all based on my personal choices and are filled with thoughts and judgments of my own will. ”

"But actually I have no choice. I only have two options: do this or fail and go back to being a mortal."

"Do you think this world will leave us, including the Seven Elemental Dragons, with any choice?"

Of course people make choices out of their own will, but it's like having a knife on your neck. If you say you are willing to give money to the other party... this is also considered a decision made by you, right? But you're not willing to do it, you don't really want to do it, you just don't have a choice.

It can’t be said that death and failure are also widely accepted paths, right?

The seven elemental dragons are also similar life forms in Teyvat's world view.

They are already very powerful. In theory, such powerful people should have the power to decide their own destiny.

However, in this world, there are often visitors from heaven after being invincible.

It was completely unreasonable for the Seven Dragon Kings to fly freely in the world of Teyvat, and then a peerless man like Fanes descended from the sky to hang them up and hammer them.

They crush mortals. When they faced Faness, they were not crushed.

So when Forbidden Knowledge reached out, they held each other's hand without hesitation.

There is not much free food, especially this kind of friendly help that supports the challenge to Fanes. If the Seven Dragon Kings think this is free kindness, then they really should be hung up and beaten by Fanes.

The beating was too light, too light. It was really Fanes's fault that these few were not killed.

They know they have no choice.

This was also the case with Rama.

It is not that you want to seek skin from a tiger, but that there is only one way to seek skin from a tiger.

But this time, Nasita did not support Rama's choice.

"In other words, you actually don't have any confidence." The young-looking god looked solemn. "After defeating Sky Island, you have no confidence in stabilizing the order of Sky Island and expelling forbidden knowledge; nor do you have the confidence to cope with being defeated by Sky Island. , the certainty of facing the Nail of Cold Sky."

"You just want to bet that you can stand up and dominate the situation before the situation collapses between the two parties."

The next scene with the tiger seeking skin is to turn against the other person.

I can't talk about friendship with Tiger, saying that Brother Tiger, you just helped me, so I will give you half of the world as your support for me - this is definitely not the case.

To take down a difficult enemy side by side, or even to do what you have to do before taking down the enemy, is to trick your allies into using them as shields, use war to wear down the allies' war potential, and then in turn tear up the alliance after taking down the enemy, and give them to the enemy. The interests of the allies are eaten up together with the interests of the allies themselves.

Nasita believed that Rama had no intention of actually letting forbidden knowledge enter the world.

He first needed to face a problem called living.

Once the Maintainer stands up, he will inevitably smash the Nail of Cold Sky to cleanse Teyvat of forbidden knowledge.

Rama couldn't bear it, so He needed to take the lead in solving the problem of how to survive.

The only opposition to Sky Island is the camp of Forbidden Knowledge and the Seven Dragons.

But the Seven Dragons no longer want to do this.

The new Dragon King has no memory of the shame of being kicked off the throne. He has his own good friends and things he wants to protect, and is not obsessed with challenging Sky Island.

Sky Island does not have a massacre order against the seven dragons. The new seven dragons have no hatred against Sky Island, so naturally they will not be willing to challenge Sky Island.

Apep was in a hurry.

He was not convinced and wanted to challenge Sky Island.

But his teammates no longer want to cooperate with him.

Six against one, let alone refusing to vote and surrender, in terms of their lack of cooperation, Apep couldn't even start a game, let alone refuse his teammates to surrender during the game.

Even Apep doesn't have the power to secretly click "No" and torture his teammates.

Rama fell into silence, "I understand, but I will still do this."

He turned around and left Jingshan Palace, without giving Nasida a chance to continue speaking.

My thoughts started to get fragmented. Nasita couldn't hear any hope. She could only hear one word from Rama's words - gambling.

I bet Sky Island has a trump card and can compete with the Seven Dragons who are exposed to forbidden knowledge again.

But this problem, Rama has no way to solve in the first place how to let the seven elemental dragons of this era embark on this path.

He has neither the confidence to let the forbidden knowledge select these dragons, nor the ability to make these dragons accept the forbidden knowledge.

At the beginning, he was not sure and could only try his best. What's more, this was just the beginning. Rama would still need to gamble, betting that he could improve his actual combat ability before one party could decide the winner. To a level where you can stand up and level the situation.

The whole situation was a gamble, and it was normal for Nasida not to want to believe it.

Rama refused Nasita's refusal.

In this matter, the only thing he can do is to form an alliance of revenge dragons before the maintainer wakes up, otherwise the opponent will definitely be able to kill him accurately.

He had no choice.

This is an inevitable trend based on the different interests of both parties.

Nasita stood on the side of Sumeru and the world, and the first thing Rama abandoned was the interests of this world.

"Do you really want to break up with Nasida like this?"

In Rama's mind, the Great Merciful Tree King sighed softly.

"Sooner or later." Rama shook his head, "He has persistence that far exceeds his own life. I even think that in His thoughts, my life may be higher than His life."

"He was willing to make a decision that would sacrifice Himself for me."

"But I am far from this kind of sentiment. All my persistence has to revolve around my life."

Nasita cared about Rama very much, but a god like him was too philanthropic, and there were many things more important than her own life in his eyes.

Rama was just the opposite.

"What if Nasida is sacrificed to achieve your own destiny?"

King Daci Shu suddenly asked.

"Are you starting to make this kind of assumption too?" Rama kept walking, "Similar to the crazy assumptions about girlfriends and mothers?"

He was completely too lazy to answer such a neurological question, so he kept walking and began to rush towards the desert.

In this matter, Nasida expressed her refusal, but refusal often has nothing to do with the thoughts of the person involved. It does not mean that the incident will not happen if you refuse.

He rejected Rama's plan, but in this day and age, those who could stop Rama often did not.

The maintainer of Sky Island is still sleeping. He doesn't care about the reason and just opens up when he meets.

Nasita woke him up, not to mention that by doing so, she was killing Rama with her own hands. Just from the other party's indiscriminate slaughter, he had to first consider whether his Sumeru people could withstand it.

The seven elemental dragons are Rama's partners. They can agree or refuse. With the arrogance of the elemental dragon kings, it is difficult to choose Rama to start a war just because Nasita informed you that someone is trying to get you into contact with forbidden knowledge.

It’s not that they respected Rama very much, it was mainly because there was no need for it.

The seven gods each have their own thoughts, but no one's thoughts are on Sky Island.

At this stage, Nasita could refuse, but she could not stop Rama.

The only thing that can be done is actually to pray in the Jingshan Palace for taboo knowledge and not to choose a person who has already been selected.

Such as Apep.

He has already received the strengthening of forbidden knowledge once, but was overturned after losing. If forbidden knowledge has mysophobia, there is a high probability that Apep will be rejected.

This is not realistic either.

"So, you are going to give Him such a reason to comfort yourself?"

King Daci Shu said, "Actually, you don't expect Him to agree. You describe this to Him just so that He can comfort yourself. The reason I don't do anything is because I can't do anything. In fact, I have persuaded Rama."

But he didn't listen.

This is all I can do, there is nothing I can do!

"It's up to you to think so. Anyway, I think I hope He will support me." Rama said casually.

Apep waited for a long time.

He did not know Rama’s thoughts and plans, but He could sense the forbidden knowledge in Rama.

This scene seems familiar.

It seemed to be the same way back then. He coveted forbidden knowledge, and he could see the active forbidden knowledge in the Red King at a glance. The other party also knew that he wanted this, so he made a deal with me, and I could take this body with him after death. All forbidden knowledge is left to you.

Apep looked down on the Red King, but liked the forbidden knowledge in the Red King, so he readily agreed and ate the Red King in one bite at the last moment.

But now, another demon god who has taken over the title of Red King has once again come to the desert with forbidden knowledge, and Apep feels like he has seen it before.

"Apepp, I'm here to make a deal with you."

The next moment, yellow sand filled the sky.

Apep felt that his PTSD was coming, and subconsciously rolled his strength towards Rama.

Rama:? ? ?
Brother, what are you doing?
We are not old friends before. We have cooperated well. Why did you start spraying sand when we met this time?
Fortunately, He was not the Amon of the past, so he was knocked down by the sand after a struggle.

"Aren't you going to teach Him a lesson?"

The voice of King Daci Shu was somewhat gloating.

"I just used all the elemental energy to upgrade." Rama sighed, "I didn't expect that the first person to take action was not a certain dragon, but Apep."

He thought that the opponent might be Sky Island, or Navilette, a dragon that had completely transformed into the human camp.

If there was a possibility of coming into contact with these people, He would definitely not use up all his energy at home. He would definitely be well prepared before coming out.

But unexpectedly, Apep, who was easiest to persuade, would be the first to take action.

Could it be that... I am wrong, and very wrong?
How about I turn around and go to my god to apologize.

"What are you doing here?"

Apep's voice was commanding.

"He seems a little scared?" Rama rubbed his chin, "Stress reaction?"

He immediately understood something, so he changed his words and said, "I'm here to help you, Apep."

No more deals.

If we make another deal, maybe it won't be Shachen next, but Apep himself.

It's quite high-risk.
