In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

And it's not just them.

This divine oracle was issued.

The people of the desert will no longer be divided into high and low classes, and their children will no longer have to grovel before those in power like they have.

By instinct.

The Amna tribe members wanted to kneel and worship Naxida again.

As before, they still failed to kneel down.

the only difference.

This time, they reacted quickly and, led by Fadna, immediately asked Rhodes and Narcida what they needed to do.

As one of the first people to move into the new oasis.

Rhodes's arrangements for them were very simple.

Within the designated area, the Amna tribe members can first set up camp, rest and cultivate the land as required, and wait for the arrival of the main force from Aru Village before making new overall arrangements.

After Fadna and her entourage left happily.

After a long silence, Nasita finally sighed and said, "You're right, their requirements are indeed very simple."

It is simply a fair identity, an identity that will prevent future generations from being bullied.

It's that simple.

"Yes."

Rhodes rubbed his nose, then laughed: "Hehe, in that case, your faith in the desert might be even higher than in the rainforest."

"."

Naxi Da was speechless.

Giving desert dwellers an equal status with rainforest dwellers would indeed be a way to win over the vast majority of impoverished desert dwellers.

same.

This decision will also provoke resistance from many rainforest dwellers.

This is a legacy of history, and it cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Nasita sat on the tree roots of the Oasis Source, tending to the leaves of the seedlings while asking Rhodes a question.

Before going to treat Apep.

The conflict between rainforests and deserts has always been a major problem on the table.

Nasita had been troubled by this for a long time.

do not know why.

Even though she, as the goddess of wisdom, couldn't solve such a problem, when she met Rhodes, Narcida always felt that Rhodes would definitely have a way to solve these problems. It was as if, without realizing it, she had developed a deep dependence on this human.

Rhodes did not disappoint Narcida.

In response to this opposing question she raised, Rod also shared some of his personal thoughts.

"First, education is of paramount importance. It is crucial to eliminate the deep-seated animosity between rainforest dwellers and desert dwellers through education."

"Secondly, the law, while prohibiting unwarranted insults and fights, must not go to extremes. We must not allow rainforest people to continue to be hostile to desert people without cause, nor should we allow desert people to use the law to their advantage and ride roughshod over rainforest people. Those who deliberately violate the law and break the law should be severely punished, up to the death penalty."

"Third, employment. The official employment resources of Sumeru can be distributed equally. The desert people are not only capable of killing and robbing. There are also some geniuses among them in hunting, farming, and crafting. Especially those desert people who have received education should be given a fair employment opportunity. There should be no situation where they have learned knowledge but have nowhere to use it."

"Fourth, social welfare must be fair and just. Whatever the people in the rainforest have, the people in the desert have too. Everyone should be treated the same. Adjustments can be made according to the environment, but the system must be impartial and there should be no favoritism towards either side."

"Fifth, entertainment activities. Well, let me give you an example. The rainforest has the Flower Goddess Festival to celebrate your birthday, and the desert also has a festival to celebrate the Red King's birthday. Desert people like Dixia can participate in the Flower Goddess Festival, so it is reasonable to invite rainforest people to participate in the Red King's birthday. Let different cultures communicate, understand each other, and have in-depth exchanges, which will naturally eliminate many differences."

He said a lot in one breath.

Rod paused, thought for a moment, and then added, "That's all I can think of for now. But remember, don't rush, don't rush. Eliminating the barriers between the rainforest and the desert, and removing their differences and hostility, is not something that can be accomplished in the short term. It may take the next generation, or even the generation after that, to truly integrate them into one big family."

"Oh, by the way, the sand-proof wall can be gradually dismantled in parts."

"Don't demolish everything first, demolish a portion to increase the flow of resources between the desert and the rainforest."

"We could also introduce some incentive policies to attract people from rainforest areas to settle in the desert, but we shouldn't try to change the beliefs and culture of desert people. Respect for each other is the key to peaceful coexistence."

Nasita carefully memorized what Rod said.

From the other side, the Great Tree King, who was also listening, said, "Very, very good."

In the past few days, she has been waking up more frequently and speaking more clearly.

It seems that a true resurrection is not far off.

All beings of Mount Sumeru are equal.

The effect of this oracle from the grass god is very obvious.

In a world with a god.

The divine pronouncements of the gods are true golden words, divine words that take root and flourish.

In the ears of those who heard the oracle.

Naxida's words also represent a promise given by the Grass God.

Because she made the declaration in the name of the Grass God.

This means that even if the position of the Grass God changes again in Sumeru, the new Grass God will abide by this divine decree and grant these desert people equal status.

Unless the gods of Mount Sumeru are replaced and the grass god no longer rules.

And after the oracle was issued.

In a very short time.

Of the three tribes that refused to be recruited, one gritted its teeth and returned with a try-it-out mentality.

After meeting.

Faced with the stammering tribal matriarch, Rhodes did not make things difficult for her because of her inconsistency. Instead, he arranged a clearing task for her tribe in the same way.

Rod also told her.

"Before the people from other tribes and Aru Village arrive, you have the best opportunity to expand your land. Go, use all your strength to fight for a land where your descendants will have no worries about food and clothing."

These words were more damaging than Narcida's oracle.

As soon as Rod finished speaking, they rushed to the designated reclamation area at top speed and devoted all their energy to the land, working almost day and night.

There's been one, and now there's been a second.

soon.

Then there's a third, and a fourth.

When Candice and her people arrived at the new oasis.

On this land, there are already no fewer than ten tribes, with several thousand people immersed in the vigorous work of reclamation.

(I've basically finished taking care of things at home, and my health has recovered. Starting tomorrow, I'll challenge myself to write 10,000 words a day for the rest of the month, and also pay off the debts I incurred last month. Uh, except for this Saturday and next Saturday, because it's my mom's birthday and my sister's birthday, so I'll have very little time to write.)

Chapter 199. City of Hope

Chapter 190 City of Hope

Among the people Candice brought.

Apart from the Red King's radical faction, which had already been selected, and the Red King's moderate faction, who thought the radical faction was too conservative, the rest were all research personnel, including many students from the Order Academy.

For example, right now, Kave is using the land data provided by Rhodes to study the design blueprints of the new Oasis City with other scholars of the Mystic School.

By the way.

New Oasis City is not the name of this city.

Its real name is Hope City.

This is the name given by Rod.

The name immediately sparked numerous protests upon its release.

The tribal people were fine; they didn't have much of an opinion on what the city should be called. However, the followers of the Red King hoped that the city could be named after the Red King, or at the very least, the ancient city of Jur, which was originally part of the Red Kingdom.

But Rod ignored all of these protests.

However, although it is said to be ignoring, it does not mean completely ignoring people or simply using the cold treatment.

Actually.

When dealing with these Red King followers who held more extreme views, Rhodes's approach was primarily to appease them. He used various grand principles and real-world situations to first calm them down and prevent them from becoming too agitated. Then, he patiently guided them, gradually suppressing their loudly proclaimed slogans of restoring the glory of the Red King.

As for how to suppress these people's voices.

A very simple method.

People become talkative simply because they have too much free time after a good meal.

Therefore, Rhodes' solution was to make sure they never had a moment of leisure.

The land reclamation in the new oasis was entirely due to individual ability.

This is not a welfare benefit specifically for desert tribes.

The same policy was implemented as in Aru Village.

Using this strategy.

The first wave of protests from the Red King's followers subsided amid the tireless work of the tribespeople day and night.

no way.

The amount of agricultural land designated by Rhodes is limited.

If we don't hurry and grab them, those outsiders will take them all.

just.
