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

He was ashamed that his identity had been seen through at a glance.

Rhodes wasn't surprised at all.

Before a true god, one's own power, still at the mortal stage, is utterly exposed.

So he nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Hear the words.

Nasita muttered to herself, "Could it be because of a force from outside the world?"

As the god of wisdom in Teyvat.

Knowledge beyond this world is indeed beyond Nasita's comprehension.

This made her even more curious about Rhodes, the person who had suddenly entered her dream.

"Nacita?"

While Narcida was still wondering how Rhodes got in, she heard Rhodes call her name.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Thinking that Rhodes was afraid of his dream world, Nasita said considerately, "Don't be afraid, there's no danger here. When it gets light, the dream world will automatically dissipate, and then you can go back."

"Oh."

Nasita answered his question directly, and Rhodes responded before looking around again.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a dream of the gods.

The world here can be described as bizarre and fantastical.

Sunset fruits that are over ten meters high, giant turtles flying in the sky that blot out the sun, small animals running around, crystal butterflies fluttering all over the sky, and Lanaro hiding in the mountains and waters.

By the way.

Lanaros were the mushroom creatures that Rhodes had initially scared away. Now they were cautiously peeking out, watching Rhodes, this uninvited guest.

After looking around, Rhode realized that this dream world consisted only of Lanaro and various small animals, so he asked, "Is there no one else here?"

"Sorry, I'm all alone here."

Nasita shook her head slightly, then laughed again: "You are the first human to come to this world."

talking.

Nasita walked briskly around Rhodes twice, stroking her chin and muttering to herself, "There's no scent of forbidden knowledge. It seems to have broken in through some means I don't know about. What could it be?"

"You're still struggling with this issue?"

Rhodes shrugged: "Since I can't figure it out anyway, I might as well not think about it and just add to my troubles."

This "what will be, will be" attitude made Nasita laugh again.

then.

Then her tone changed, and she shook her finger seriously, saying, "The pursuit of knowledge cannot be done in such a perfunctory manner as you do. Otherwise, it will be like a dark night that will never see the light, and no matter how hard you try, you will never find the truth."

"Oh?"

So, you're quite knowledgeable about things?

Rod raised an eyebrow and continued to pretend he didn't understand.

But what he didn't expect was.

I just wanted to tease this gentle god.

Unexpectedly, Nasita actually contradicted herself: "No, my pursuit of knowledge is still very limited. After all, I am just the moon, while the real sun is long gone."

"."

For a moment, Rod was speechless. After gathering his thoughts, he tentatively said, "Um, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Well, you ask."

"If I know the answer, I will definitely answer it for you."

Narcida emerged from her sadness and nodded to Rhodes.

"I currently have a batch of mushroom chickens that I've successfully raised in the desert, but their egg production and meat yield are not ideal. If I want to improve their breed, which type of mushroom chicken or other poultry would be better for crossbreeding?"

"Or, is it possible for me to artificially breed a type of mushroom chicken that is completely adapted to the desert climate through crossbreeding? Like a featherless chicken?"

"If possible, what do I need to do? How do I cultivate it? What precautions should I take?"

Narcida, who had already prepared herself mentally, was suddenly taken aback by Rhodes's series of pragmatic questions.

Chapter 73 Dixia's Father

the next day.

When Rhodes woke up.

I felt incredibly refreshed, and the fatigue from days of traveling completely vanished.

Although I spent the night in Nasita's dream, and it seemed like I hadn't slept at all, it didn't add any more burden to my mind. On the contrary, I felt exceptionally relaxed after waking up.

It was Rhodes's practical questions about planting and animal husbandry that made Narcida, who was already insecure, even more withdrawn.

Rod felt both amused and exasperated when he thought about it.

Nasita is a wonderful goddess.

She's just too easily swayed.

After being instilled with the idea that "you are not as good as the Great Tree King" by great sages throughout the ages, she truly kept this in mind.

No matter how hard he tried, he was never confident and believed that he was not as good as the Great Tree King.

This is why, despite having the ability to escape the confinement of the Church, she has never been willing to step out of the Pure Good Palace.

But knowledge is inherently boundless and utterly ignorant.

New knowledge will appear before you have finished learning the old knowledge.

Adbay's theory of hybridization, grafting, and the prohibition of inbreeding is a completely new set of knowledge derived from old knowledge.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to achieve a satisfactory level of understanding by doing exercises and learning knowledge from books.

There are endless problems to solve; you'll never finish them all in this lifetime.

Moreover, it's not just about doing exercises; you also need to put things into practice to discover the truth.

The result of rote memorization of knowledge from books was that she, who should have been an omniscient and omnipotent goddess of wisdom, was killed by Rhodes with a question that required practical experience to arrive at the answer.

This made Nasita, who already harbored the deep-seated belief that "I am inferior to the Great Tree King," even more sweaty.

Anyway, when Rhodes left the dream.

Nasita was still pondering the problem of mushroom-chicken hybridization that he had raised, and he directly conjured up various kinds of mushroom-chickens in his dream and began to simulate them using the materials available to him.

have to say.

Nasita's ability is truly enviable.

As long as you know the detailed data, you can make simulations and inferences in your dreams.

What's even more outrageous is...

Nasita can completely control this dream world.

in other words.

Nasita's dream is roughly equivalent to a super-large, advanced intelligent simulator. She only needs to input data, adjust the influencing factors such as time, climate, and environment, and then she can speed up the process, skip the long practice time, and quickly obtain the data and results she wants.

"I wish I had that ability."

Rhodes remarked with emotion.

Having this ability means that he doesn't need experimental fields; he can conduct practical experiments in his dreams, which can at least reduce the risk of losing everything.

pity.

The power of the gods is not something one can covet.

Dixia also got up very early.

Rod had just finished washing up when she came to knock on the door.

While eating.

Seeing that Desia had a Void Terminal on her ear, Rhode put down the meat pie in his hand and asked thoughtfully, "Did you have a dream last night?"

"dream?"

Dixia was taken aback by the question: "What kind of dream? I haven't dreamed in a long time."

"Can't you dream even without a Void Terminal?"

Rhodes stared at Desia's void terminal and asked again.

This question only confused Dixia even more.

"What does dreaming have to do with the Void Terminal?"

"We Sumeru people almost never dream. Only children dream. The elders say that when you stop dreaming, it means you've grown up."

“I’ve heard those bookworms explain this before when I was escorting scholars.”

"Let me think, what did they say back then? Hmm, right, this is what they said."

Dixia cleared her throat and, mimicking the way scholars speak, gestured as she said, "Wisdom means reason, but things in dreams often have neither reason nor wisdom. In dreams, people are often troubled by their own worries. Therefore, the benevolent god of wisdom, the Great Tree King, bestowed grace upon the people of Sumeru, allowing us to stay away from the ignorance in our dreams."

Once you put it that way, Rod understood.

It seems that as long as the Void Terminal is activated, the Void will harvest the dream and use it as energy to maintain the Void. Whether or not the user wears the Void Terminal, the user's dream is the target of harvesting.

This isn't to say it's a bad thing.

Judging from Narcida's current state, the Church's plan to create a god has definitely not officially begun yet, meaning it hasn't reached the point where it needs to steal power from dream energy.
