Comprehensive comics, this god is a bit disdainful.

To borrow a sentence that Zhong Rui once taught Lei in the movie, the government is the embodiment of the ruler's rights, and the government's failure to do its duty is the ruler's failure to do its duty.

Nasida's connivance is at least [-]% responsible for the fall of the Xumi Order.

Because the Xumi Order Council is the agent of the Grass God, both in other countries and in the eyes of the Xumi people.

There is no doubt that gods are the apex of this country, and gods are the rulers of Sumeru.

What the Sumeru people abide by is not the rule of the Jiaolingyuan, but the rule of the Jiaolingyuan under the Grass God.

If the Order Council loses the support of the Grass God, then the Gilded Brigade with the support of the Grass God can take the place of the Order Council and become the new acting ruler of Sumeru.

Nasida's acquiescence allowed the Order to cross the uncrossable bottom line between humans and gods. They put down their fear of gods and placed her under house arrest in the Jingshan Palace as a canary.

Nacida made the same mistake as the Thunder movie, allowing human desires to expand while handing over the management of the country to others, ultimately reaping the consequences.

"I'm sorry, but please believe I didn't lie..."

"Then gods of Sumeru, do you want to say that all this has nothing to do with you?"

"I..."

Nasida also heard the implication of Zhong Rui's words, and looked at Zhong Rui with uneasiness in her eyes.

Among the knowledge she had learned, she did not know how to deal with conflicts with other gods.

If she renounces her relationship with the Jiaolingyuan at this time, then Yan Shen may only punish the Jiaolingyuan in the end, and will not implicate her and the people of Sumeru.

But...can she really sever ties with the Order?

Ever since the Apostolic Council took control of Xumi, the relationship between them has been inseparable.

The Seven Earthly Rulers represent the rulers of various countries in Teyvat, and as the ruling class, the Ecclesiastical Council naturally has the permission of the Grass God.

If she abandons her relationship with the Order Council, it would be tantamount to admitting that the Grass God has lost her status as the ruler of Sumeru.

Analyzing from Zhong Rui's previous speech, if he knew that the Grass God did not control Sumeru, then he would have a high probability of launching a war against Sumeru.

And once Xumi and Liyue go to war, the country of Xumi will cease to exist.

Therefore, Nasida could not disassociate herself from the Order, nor could she disassociate herself from it.

But even if Nasida wanted to make compensation to calm Zhong Rui's anger, she did not have the authority to order the Order, so Nasida could not promise Zhong Rui material compensation.

In this case, Nasida has one last way to draw out the fire, which can not only calm Zhong Rui's anger, but also save Xumi from the war in Liyue.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault. I am willing to step down from the position of God of Sumeru and transfer the position of God of Sumeru to you."

This was the only thing Nacida could do, the only thing she could decide for herself.

Since Zhong Rui wanted to attack Xumi, Nasida simply gave up Xumi to Zhong Rui.

And compared to her immature self, she believes that Xumi City in the future can become better under Zhong Rui's governance.

Moreover, the corrupted Order Council can also be rectified under the system of this rock god.

This was the best solution Nacida could think of, and what she believed was the best future.

"Give me the position of God of Sumeru? What about you?"

"I will leave this country and never set foot here again or interfere with your rule."

Regarding the mistakes caused by the Order, was Nasida's choice to sacrifice herself in exchange for Xumi's future?

It's an answer that really fits her style...

It's just that Zhong Rui doesn't like this answer...

Chapter 404: Excessive kindness will only harm you

"I want to believe that this matter is the result of the Order's own initiative, and I have no interest in the position of the God of Sumeru."

Zhong Rui withdrew his divine power, conjured tables and chairs out of thin air in the empty Jingshan Palace, invited Nasida to sit down with him, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, Zhong Rui, Liyue's new rock god, is also an Adventer."

"Nacita, the current Grass God of Xumi, I'm sorry that my negligence has caused you trouble."

Nacida sat on the specially raised chair and felt relieved when she saw that Zhong Rui suddenly became much more talkative than before.

It seems that this rock god does not have an aggressive personality. Judging from the fact that he does not want to take over the position of the God of Sumeru, what he wants is not material things, but an attitude.

After all, the forged handwriting of the Apostolic Order was undoubtedly a provocation to him, the rock god.

Coupled with the crimes mentioned by those scholars, it is not surprising that Zhong Rui would feel angry.

"Trouble? It's not really trouble. Just teach those crooked melons and cracked jujubes in the court. They can be wiped out with just a flick of your finger. All I care about from the beginning to the end is the attitude of you, the god of grass. Do you want to try the lotus cake? ?”

Noticing that Nasida's eyes stayed on the snack box for a while, Zhong Rui pushed the snack box towards Nasida.

"Thank you...um! It's delicious. It's like a thirsty traveler lost in the desert and encountering an oasis filled with nectar!"

Nasida picked up a piece of lotus cake that was so exquisite that it looked like a work of art. She took a bite with a little hesitation and was immediately captured by this supreme delicacy.

This was the first time she experienced the joy of eating. It turns out that this is the reason why people feel happy physically and mentally when they taste delicious food!

After finishing the lotus cake in her hand, Nasida picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Sure enough, even the tea was excellent. The tea was fragrant and refreshing, and she still had an elegant aftertaste after swallowing it.

"Thank you for the hospitality, I'm sorry, I was a little out of sorts..."

When Nacida came to her senses, both the tea cup and the snack box were completely empty, which made her face blush with shame.

"As long as you like it, why not have some more."

"No, no, we can't continue to be such a luxury."

She was very moved by Zhong Rui's proposal, but Nasida's rationality stopped her in time.

Although she has never tasted delicious food so far, she can still know that the delicious food and tea that Zhong Rui used to entertain her are definitely extremely precious items.

As a derelict god, she is not qualified to enjoy this hospitality...

"Luxury? Is this a compliment on my craftsmanship?"

Seeing Nasida's expression of dissatisfaction with desire, but still choosing to endure silently, Zhong Rui suddenly had the idea of ​​using snacks to seduce her to continue "falling".

Maybe it's because when I see a child who is too well-behaved, I can't help but want her to act more coquettishly...

Is this the legendary maternal... paternal nature?

"Eh? Are you even that good at cooking?"

"I have friends around me who like cooking, so I took the opportunity to study it and practice this skill. If you want to learn it, I can teach you."

Nasida looked at Zhong Rui, who was now without the airs of a god, and suddenly realized that her understanding of Zhong Rui was somewhat wrong.

As long as she doesn't make him angry, Zhong Rui's character is actually easy to get along with and friendly, not as overbearing as she imagined.

Leave your tyranny and majesty to your enemies, and face your friends with kindness and gentleness.

"Thank you. It's a pity that Jingshan Palace doesn't have a kitchen. I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to learn cooking from you."

"Wouldn't it be better to go out? Or do you plan to continue living under house arrest?"

Faced with Zhong Rui's questioning, Nasida fell into silence and confusion.

Is she...really qualified to go out?

Although the Order made a stupid decision this time and even forged her decree, the Order has been very good at stabilizing the situation in Sumeru in the past 500 years.

Even if she was suddenly asked to rule the Order, Nasida would not carry out institutional reforms. Instead, she would generally maintain the status quo and then lend a helping hand to those Sumeru people in need.

But at this level, she still cannot reach the height of the Great Ci Tree King in the past. And when people see the mediocrity of the current Grass God, will they become pessimistic about Xumi's future?

Just like when the Order first found her, Nasida watched the expressions of the sages change from ecstasy to confusion, and finally to disappointment and lamentation. Some even showed anger and despair to her.

Worried that the ignorance of the Little Grass God would make the Sumeru people feel despair and pessimism, the Teaching Council took her to the Jingshan Palace and imprisoned her, and Nasida also chose to acquiesce.

Since then, Nasida has continued to learn the knowledge in the void and continued to work hard to become a qualified god.

Because she no longer wants her people to be disappointed in her...

"You don't want your people to be disappointed in you? Just for this reason?"

"Eh?"

Zhong Rui's inner thoughts were read, and Nasida looked at him in surprise. Isn't the power of the Rock God related to the rock element?

Could this mind-reading ability be his special ability as a descendant?

Speaking of which, this rock god seems to have the ability to resurrect the dead, but this is just a rumor that has not yet been confirmed. Nasida does not know whether it is true or false.

"You seem to have misunderstood something? Although as a god, ability is indeed very important, but as a ruler, your own ability is not that important. After all, what you want to do is to rule, not to do everything yourself."

Zhong Rui sighed. Nasida's character was actually not suitable for being a ruler. She doted on her people too much.

He had heard Zhongli tell stories about Liyue's past. Among them was a salt god who doted on her people. The salt god was not very powerful, but she did not die at the hands of other demon gods. The betrayal of the people.

Because the Salt God did not like fighting, she surrendered the land to other demon gods to protect her people. In the end, the people thought that she was not qualified to protect them, and she swung the blade of betrayal like their god. I heard that the Salt God did not show up until his death. Resentful of the betrayal of his subjects.

Although Zhongli told him this story, maybe it was for the sake of small talk, or maybe he was using the Salt God as an example to teach Zhong Rui some truth.

But from what Zhong Rui heard, he only felt that the salt people were ungrateful and just a bunch of white-eyed wolves. It was heard that after the death of the Salt God, these salt people defected to Liyue Port.

They would rather stab the god in the back than leave directly. Instead, the people of salt almost died because of the aftermath of the demon god's death.

"But compared to my predecessors..."

"The previous generation is the previous generation, you are you. No matter how glorious the previous generation is, it is also the matter of the previous generation. You care too much about the thoughts of your people and being too loving will only harm you. Just like now, they even dare to forge grass. God’s handwriting.”

Facing the evaluation given by Zhong Rui, Nacida didn't know how to answer. Because her learning template was the Great Merciful Tree King, Nacida did not feel that she was overly doting on her people.

Seeing that Nasida was not aware of this, Zhong Rui temporarily put aside the discussion on this issue and turned to ask her about her evaluation of himself.

"Nascida, what do you think of me?"

"You are an outstanding god. Your achievements in power now are no less than those of Emperor Yan. I can feel that the merchants from Liyue respect and worship you from the bottom of their hearts."

Nasida seriously commented that whether it was from her perspective or from the perspective of others, Zhong Rui was undoubtedly an excellent god.

She even heard the Sumeru people's envy towards Liyue next door...

"Then do you know that my current position as a god was actually deceived by my mouth?"

"Eh?"
