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

To put it simply, after the Red King plotted against Apep, Apep, who was treated like a garbage can and swallowed a bellyful of forbidden knowledge, was tormented and suffered greatly. In the process, he caused great damage to Sumeru.

The Grass Dragon's adaptability is indeed very strong.

However, it takes a lot of time to adapt to taboo knowledge.

Having just swallowed forbidden knowledge, Apep could hardly bear the physical pain. Even as an ancient dragon, his mind was almost driven to madness, similar to that of Dvalin.

Forced.

Having just cleared away forbidden knowledge, the Great Tree King, despite his continued physical degeneration, forcibly overdrawn his power to soothe her and help Apep through the most difficult period of adaptation.

Until Apep finally fell asleep, she made a pact with the elemental beings that had escaped from Apep's body, using her last bit of power to create a spark, preserving Apep's last hope for healing.

It was precisely because of this commotion by Apep and the Red King that things turned out this way.

The Great Tree King, whose power was severely depleted, lacked the strength to resist the erosion of forbidden knowledge five hundred years ago. He ultimately had no choice but to leave Nasita as the spark, and then kill himself to seal away the corrupted consciousness, waiting for Nasita to erase her.

Apep is a dragon who appears arrogant on the surface, but actually cherishes old friendships deep down.

While Nasita was healing herself, she discovered that the consciousness of the Great Tree King was still alive, and she also discovered the state of the Great Tree King.

So, in order to repay the kindness of the Great Tree King in saving his life back then.

Only then would she send out the precious source of the oasis.

As for why it was given to Rhodes...

It was simply because she didn't like Nasida.

"A god who acts impulsively and irrationally is far inferior to her and Amon."

It's that simple of a reason.

Nasita's willingness to sacrifice herself to save him was well-intentioned, but Appepp did not approve of this behavior.

In her opinion.

Nasita was an overly idealistic and inexperienced deity, utterly unfit to succeed Amun and the Great Tree King.

This is another reason why she sent the Source of the Oasis to help the Great Tree King rebuild its body.

"You should listen to me."

“You still possess the authority of the gods. With my power and your temperament, you will be more suitable than her to govern Mount Sumeru.”

Apep became increasingly dissatisfied as he spoke.

It was aimed at both Naxida and the Great Compassion Tree King.

"You're in too much of a hurry."

"She's still just a child and needs time to grow up."

When Naxida was mentioned, the Great Tree King's voice softened considerably.

“This child has never received any education about gods, nor has he received any memories of my reign over Mount Sumeru.”

“At the time when she should have been studying the most, she was imprisoned for a full five hundred years.”

"All she learned was theoretical knowledge, with a serious lack of practical experience. When dealing with emergencies, she was bound to act impulsively and become flustered."

"How to be a good god."

"She still has a long way to go, you need to be more patient with her."

The Great Tree King patiently comforted the dissatisfied Apep.

Rhodes couldn't get a word in edgewise during their conversation.

Both of them have their reasons.

Whether Nasita becomes the grass god or not is of no concern to Rhodes.

He even thought that what Appepp said made a lot of sense.

Nasita's personality was indeed unsuitable for being a god who ruled a country.

She is easily influenced and lacks decisiveness, often becoming indecisive when faced with difficult choices.

Rod didn't want to use any more offensive words.

In short, as I said before, Nasita is indeed unqualified now, there is no denying that, and it's not just Appepp who thinks so, he thinks so too.

As for the matter of having the Great Tree King replace Naxida and restore the position of Grass God.

There are pros and cons.

What are the benefits?

The Great Compassion Tree King has a higher reputation in Sumeru. Her resurrection as the Grass Goddess can elevate the divine authority and prestige that Sumeru currently lacks.

What are the drawbacks?

Due to various misunderstandings, the Great Tree King had a terrible reputation in the desert region, and Sumeru had just experienced the upheaval of the gods' restoration.

If the Great Tree King were to regain power again, the newly established positive progress between Sumeru and the desert, including this city of hope in the eyes of the desert people, might erupt into unimaginable turmoil amidst such an upheaval.

He glanced again at Apep and the Great Tree King, who were engaged in a heated debate.

Rhodes sighed inwardly, "Never mind, let's wait for them to come to a conclusion."

In a supernatural world, might makes right.

Appepp's punches are too hard.

If it weren't for her lingering affection for the Great Tree King and her unwillingness to go against its wishes, then the position of Grass God would have been entirely up to her.

"We still lack the martial prowess of someone like the Red King."

Just as Rhodes was lamenting the lack of combat power in Sumeru, the Great Tree King finally persuaded Apep to reluctantly stop his complaints and agree to continue observing Narcida's abilities, without mentioning the matter of the Great Tree King replacing her for the time being.

Apep came here apparently to check on the condition of the Great Tree King.

After debating the matter of divine position with the Great Tree King, she vanished into thin air.

Just like when she came, she appeared and disappeared without a trace. In any case, with Rhodes's abilities, he couldn't figure out how she left at all.

"I'm telling you a joke."

That's what he said, but the Great Tree King still had a smile on his face.

"It's not exactly a joke."

Rod scratched his head, unsure how to comment on their discussion.

Right under Nasita's nose, they openly discussed whether or not to replace her as the goddess of grass.

to be frank.

This is a bit of a hellish joke.

The two sides in the debate are a grass dragon with unparalleled power and a previous grass god who has ruled Sumeru for thousands of years.

Each and every one of them is a heavyweight.

"Alright, don't worry, I won't compete with her for the divine position."

The Great Tree King made a promise, then stood up from the flower stamen, stretched lazily, and said expectantly, "Remember to come here tomorrow. It's been hundreds of years since I've walked on the earth, and I really miss this feeling."

"okay."

Rhodes nodded in agreement.

After saying that, he was about to leave the flower garden when the voice of the Great Tree King came from behind him again: "Remember, you must come, no matter what happens, you must come here."

"Okay, I remember."

Rhodes found the Great Tree King's repeated emphasis strange, but he didn't ask any further questions. After responding once more, he quickly left.

Chapter 202 Elite Demolitionist Klee

(I dare not make a second version of the Cyno legend~~~)

It's not over yet on Naxida's side.

Although he hadn't received her message, with the lady present, Rod knew without a doubt that the meeting at the Pure Land Palace wouldn't be pleasant.

"Just wait patiently."

Since there was nothing else to do, Rhodes sent a message to Desia.

I haven't received a reply yet.

The loud explosion made it impossible for Rhodes to focus on the Void Terminal anymore.

Following the sound of the explosion.

Rhodes' expression remained unchanged as he sped away at top speed.

soon.

He rushed to the scene of the accident.

When Rod saw the petite red figure with her head down and clutching the hem of her clothes, he didn't find it surprising that he parted the crowd and walked over.

Candice, who is currently the interim head of Hope City, has not yet arrived, nor have Desia and Seno. Only a disheveled Kavi is negotiating with Abedo.

Come closer.

You can hear Abedo apologizing and saying that he will make up for all the damage caused by his sister.

Wearing a hard hat and covered in mud and dust, Kawi squatted on the ground, picking up the shattered building fragments one by one and carefully examining them.

After a while.

Kavi stood up. Judging from his expression, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he excitedly waved the shards of brick and tile in his hand: "You just said that the bomb was made by your sister?"

"Yes, Klee."

Abedo paused briefly, as if recalling something unpleasant, before saying with a slight headache, "She has a real talent for this."

"That's it."
