Chapter 35, Thriving

"Your gaze is as deep as that of an eagle. Salute to you! Great Lady Fugate." The high priest of the Sand People is already very old, but because of his psychic powers, he is in high spirits.

He is over a hundred years old this year and is the strongest among the Iron Sand and surrounding tribes. When he sees Xia Mian, he can even greet him using the etiquette of the Sand People.

Inspired by Fuget, he came to Xumi City to help Xiamian do something big.

Behind him are the current Chief Warrior and Reserve High Priest of the Iron Sand Tribe.

"My sincerest greetings to you. May your name spread across the desert like that of the God-King." said the chief warrior and the reserve priest.

Both of them received teachings from the Saint (Fuget) from the High Heaven (Warp) and gained psychic existence.

Of course, their psychic energy is not as good as Shamian's, let alone Fuget's, but the advantage is that their psychic energy growth is more gradual and controllable.

The reason why Fuget's body aged so quickly was partly due to the aftereffects of the alchemical potion and partly due to his excessive spiritual power.

Appropriate psychic energy can turn Fuget into a healthy big human, but Fuget is not a big green-skinned man, and will not become bigger and stronger with the infinitely expanding psychic energy.

Under the pressure of excessive spiritual energy, Fuget's already overwhelmed body aged even faster.

"Do you know what you need to do?"

"Yes, ma'am," the high priest said, "we will bring some desert shock to those great men."

On the second day, Handa of the Minglun sect was attacked by the Gilded Brigade on his way to work. The desert people who succeeded in the attack loudly accused Handa of trying to take away people's dreams. Dreams play a very important role in the lives of all desert people.

Whether it is the legendary golden dreamland or Aru, the place where the soul returns, they both occupy an important position in the beliefs, stories and heritage of the sand people.

On the fourth day, the current Great Sage was also attacked, and the group of thirty people still had no gains, which made the Great Sage quite angry.

In the third week, the great sage, unable to bear the harassment, finally made public his plan in the void and the real world, and said that he and others would respect the rights of ordinary Xumi people.

It claims that it will adopt the principle of voluntariness, and choosing to connect to the void means voluntarily giving up the right to dream, and it is towards most scholars and students.

After this claim, the attacks finally stopped.

The Iron Sand Tribe did not suffer any losses in this process. On the one hand, this was because they brought with them elite troops, all of whom were rated LV40+ according to the system; on the other hand, they needed to thank the thirty-man group who contributed manpower but not effort.

It was the lack of effort on the part of the thirty-man regiment that made their attack so successful.

However, the Thirty-Man Group will definitely have a hard time in the future. As for the specific compensation, the Iron Sand Tribe has already prepared it for the Thirty-Man Group.

The Iron Sand Tribe is very rich now. It is a super large tribe that controls more than thirteen large oases and dozens of small and medium-sized oases.

Within the Thousand Valleys Desert, the only tribe that could be compared with the Iron Sand Tribe was the Tanit Tribe.

However, the conflict between the two is not great, because the Tanit tribe is a matriarchal system. They believe in the god of flowers and power is highly concentrated in the hands of the Council of Elders and the matriarch.

The Iron Sand Tribe believes in the God-King Akhmār and has a traditional tribal system where power is dispersed among the headman, elders, priests, warrior chiefs and others.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Mian said.

"You're welcome." The three people from the Iron Sand Tribe bowed to Xia Mian and the little auspicious grass king, then left.

"Meow~" Maomao also said goodbye to the three people from the Iron Sand Tribe.

The three people from the Iron Sand Tribe solemnly bid farewell to Maomao.

Well~ In their psychic perception, cats are very similar to their belief in Ahmael, so they stubbornly believe that cats are the messengers of Ahmael.

It is also worth mentioning that they guessed the identity of the Little Auspicious Grass King, but they did not bow down to him.

They still take their beliefs very seriously, and even if Akhmar is really dead, they will still hold their heads high when facing other gods.

Akhmar is the noble son of the sky, the god of gods, the king of kings, and the eternal ruler of the golden hot sand.

After the dream issue was resolved, the group of thirty people indeed suffered revenge from the current great sage. Fortunately, this great sage was also notorious because of the dream issue and he soon stepped down.

Fortunately, the next great sage did not pursue the group of thirty people relentlessly, so the group of thirty people also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this incident caused quite a stir, more and more people began to believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King.

After all, people are pragmatic. Whether it is the Great Compassionate Tree King, the Red King or the Flower God, they are all gone. The current pillar of Xumi is the Little Auspicious Grass King.

The current great sage even had the idea of ​​releasing the little auspicious grass king, but unfortunately, other senior officials of the House of Religion did not agree.

The ugliness of human nature grows as power grows.

They already enjoy unrestrained power, so why should they find a father to supervise themselves?

What these high-ranking officials didn’t know was that the father they had been thinking about was already free, and with the help of another living father (Xia Mian), he had begun to grow up slowly.

Don't forget, Xia Mian has a background as a high-ranking disciplinarian, and the current sages have no intention of restraining themselves.

Therefore, their corruption was seen by Xia Mian. If it were not for the need to ensure the secrecy of himself and the Little Auspicious Grass King, he would have to teach these guys a good lesson.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and the dreams were no longer talked about.

"You are supposed to be asleep." Fuget said to Xiamian with a heavy expression. This year marks the 300th year since Fuget was buried.

Now, Fugate's body has entered the third stage.

The first stage is to disperse the water elemental power in the corpse, and the second stage is to transform the corpse with psychic energy, the power of nothingness, and the power of balance.

The third stage is the reintegration of Fuget's essence into the corpse. Now Fuget's essence is too huge. To completely merge it with the corpse, Fuget needs to do it wholeheartedly. According to Fuget's estimation, this time will last for a full 120 years.

Originally, Fugate's instinct could separate into six consciousnesses, but now there is only one left, and the interference with the outside world has been greatly weakened.

Only then can Fugate re-enter the fourth stage of the resurrection match, which is corpse activation, by re-injecting water elements into the dehydrated corpse and then revitalizing the corpse.

Then it enters the fifth stage, where consciousness is integrated. At this point it is no longer a corpse. Only after consciousness is integrated can it proceed to the sixth stage to reconstruct the soul and be completely resurrected.

"Hold on for a few more years." Xiamian said, "If Maomao and I leave, Her Majesty Nashida will be alone again."

"The memories accumulated by time are like a flood. Make arrangements as soon as possible." Fuget sighed and disappeared.

Looking at His Majesty who never grows up... Xia Mian always feels like he is taking care of his own daughter.

But seriously speaking, it’s not that Little Lucky Grass King has not grown at all.

The result of Xia Mian's efforts over the past few decades has probably helped the little King of Grass grow from a child of four or five years old to a child of six or seven years old.

With the several appearances of the Little Auspicious Grass King, more and more people in the whole Xumi believed in the Little Auspicious Grass King. The Council of Ecclesiastes was also quite wary of this. At least now they did not dare to prohibit things like the Little Auspicious Grass King’s birthday.

Xiamian held on for a few more years, and some major events happened during these years. For example, the Tinale people completely fell out with the Temple of Silence, and the two sides parted ways. The Tinale people integrated into the rainforest, while the Temple of Silence returned to the desert in anger because it was not welcomed.

The House of Lords remained silent and built an empty Temple of Silence as a show.

Xia Mian didn't care about those things. The only thing she cared about now was the little auspicious grass king. However, she was becoming more and more overwhelmed in the past few months, so before falling asleep, Xia Mian sent the little auspicious grass king, who had already mastered the psychological invisibility skill, back to Jingshan Palace.

"This gray power? It gives me a very bad feeling." The little auspicious grass king frowned as he looked at the power entwined above the meditation room.

"This is Fuget's forgetfulness power, which has faded a lot. It seems that Fuget's plan has also entered a critical moment." Xia Mian pressed the button of the meditation room. Then he pointed to a button inside and said to the little lucky grass king, "This is the switch to open from the inside. If you want to go out and play, open the blockade yourself and go out and play."

"Then Your Majesty, I am about to leave. Take care." Xia Mian said, "If there is any emergency that requires my strength, you can go to the Sixth Manor and forcibly wake me up. In the name of the mistress of the Sixth Manor, the door of the Sixth Manor will always be open to you."

The cat also meowed twice to say goodbye to Nashida.

Then the man and the cat returned to the basement of the Sixth Manor and fell into a second sleep.

[Go to sleep~ Xia Mian, young seedlings and tender buds can only thrive after experiencing wind and rain. 】

[Your Majesty, Little King of the Auspicious Grass, may your eyes always be as clear as spring water, and may your wisdom grow as strong as a sapling. ]

[If you need anything, you can call my name and I will answer your questions. ]

"Ah~" The little Lucky Grass King pouted, knowing that Fugate was just being polite.

As for the ordinary things he wanted to know, Fuget would tell him everything he knew, but when it came to some important things he wanted to know, such as some things about King Dacishu, Fuget simply kept silent.

The gray-black smell like burnt ash ended as Fuget finished speaking.

A comfortable expression also appeared on the face of the little auspicious grass king.

But after only a few dozen minutes, the great sage of this generation and the other two sages hurried to Jingshan Palace.

Even without using the power of telepathy, the Little Auspicious Grass King could clearly see this person's thoughts.

Because his thoughts were about to overflow.

"Damn it, was the former great sage an idiot? He actually forgot to tell me that the little auspicious grass king was placed in the Jingshan Palace." The current great sage cursed in his heart.

"Your Majesty." No matter what the great sage thought, he still maintained the most basic etiquette in front of the little auspicious grass king.

The Little Auspicious Grass King recalled how he had communicated with the original sages in the past.

Slowly said: "What's the matter?"

This question actually stumped the great sage, because he actually didn't have anything to do, and he didn't know why he came here. The great sage's mind was in a state of confusion, so it was natural for him to ask about some problems he encountered at work.

These are not entered into the void system. If the little auspicious grass king really only grows according to the knowledge in the void, then these problems will still not be solved.

However, after being strengthened, the Little Auspicious Grass King can handle these things with ease and solve them easily.

He could easily analyze the root cause of the matter, and with decades of knowledge, he could easily answer the great sage's doubts.

"Your wisdom is like green grass." The great sage exclaimed.

Because the solution proposed by Little Auspicious Grass King was better than what he had come up with, except that it was a little too accommodating to the lower-class people.

However, the great sage also knew that he could not say it clearly. After all, the great sage and ordinary people were basically the same in the eyes of the demon god.

According to the great sage's analysis of the administrative methods of the Great Compassionate Tree King in the past, the methods used by the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Great Compassionate Tree King to handle government affairs are exactly the same (according to Xiamian's teachings, Xiamian once served as the Tree King's close attendant and had observed the Tree King handling government affairs for a long time), but they are obviously more immature.

He doesn't seem to have much confidence in the abilities of the sages in their House of Lords.

But it is understandable, because of the great things done by the previous sages and great sages.

Next, the Ministry of Religion restored the powers of some of the lesser auspicious grass kings as gods, but not many.

Because the whole religious order was still centered around the belief in the Great Compassionate Tree King, they had not thought of changing it with regard to the Little Auspicious Grass King.

She just vaguely sensed something from Fuget's attitude, that it seemed that the dead Great Mercy Tree King also needed these beliefs.

However, compared to the dead Great Compassion Tree King, they seem to be more willing to let themselves grow.

And it seems that her own growth is more important. Is she really that important? Nashida is starting to lack confidence again.

······
"It is not an easy task to stuff the essence into the body." Fuget murmured with lifeless eyes.

[Come on.] The light ball formed by the system intelligence cheered Fuget with a fluorescent stick in his hand that he had found from somewhere.

It's like trying to stuff a bunch of clothes into a suitcase with difficulty. Not only does it require strength, but you also need to be careful not to tear it.

As Xiamian fell into a deep sleep, Fuget used his last perception of the outside world to accelerate the fusion of his essence and corpse.

One hundred years later...

The Tiesha tribe fell apart due to internal strife. The priests and young warriors originally stationed in the Bintie Sand Dunes rushed back to suppress the rebellion, but these people never came back.

Twenty years later, the prince of billions of sands, the wind-eroded sandworm, led an army of sandworms to invade Fuget's territory. They were delighted with the richness of this place (the oasis had been restored).

They considered Fugate's tomb a nuisance and sank it into the ground.

At this time, Fugate had just completed the third stage and entered the fourth stage. There was almost no interference from the outside world, and he could only let it do what it wanted.

Fortunately, Fuget's mausoleum is very solid. After hundreds of years of strengthening by psychic energy, the strength of this mausoleum has long been stronger than ordinary steel. Even the wind-eroded sandworms are helpless and can only sink it into the ground.

Fortunately, sinking underground will not affect Fugate's fourth phase plan. In fact, sinking underground will make the fourth phase smoother.

Fugate can animate his own corpse faster and with better results.

But Fuget did not disrupt his own rhythm, after all, his rhythm was controlled by the Holy Numbers.

This sacred number is not very powerful in normal times, but its power during rituals is beyond imagination.

With the blessing of the holy numbers, the sixty-six energy mechanisms can even repel the army of sandworms that have fled into the Tomb of Fuget.

To be honest, even if Fuget had to fight so many sandworms by himself, Fuget in his prime could only rely on guerrilla warfare, and head-on confrontation was not even within his consideration.

However, with the blessing of the ritual, none of the sixty-six energy mechanisms were damaged, and they defeated the sandworms head-on.

Another one hundred and twenty years passed like this. Xia Mian could not get any news from Fuget and was worried about Fuget's situation, so he rushed in to kill him.

He left with peace of mind only after discovering that Fuget's ceremony was still going smoothly. At this time, Fuget's ceremony had reached the final stage.

Fugate's consciousness was able to speak a few words to Shamian through Shamian's psychic power.

The little auspicious grass king also came to see Fuget. At this time, Fuget's body had regained its youthfulness and he looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

The hair is half purple and black, and half dark blue, with a black and white highlight in the middle of the bangs.

His whole body became very strong, with a height of two meters and three centimeters, only slightly shorter than Xiamian (including the ears). The secondary heart and blood strengthening organs, secondary cranial nerves, pebble kidneys, flesh and bone strengthening organs, Lariman organs and combat core in his body had also been formed.

As for gene seeds, Fgate does not have any, or it can be said that he himself is the material of gene seeds. He can use his own flesh and blood, combined with the power of the subspace, to directly create gene seeds based on himself.

According to the system's complaints, this dark blue color does not seem to be the essence of the Demon Prince, but rather like that of Tzeentch. If the core was not indeed the essence of joy, everyone would have made a mistake.

This is mainly due to Fuget's own transformation of the nature of this subspace. Knowledge and strategy are indeed the domain of Tzeentch, so Fuget feels it is normal for it to turn blue.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the water element in the continent of Teyvat is also blue. Otherwise, Fuget believes that even if it turns blue, it would not be possible to transform so smoothly.
