The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

This is of course the Great Compassion Tree King itself, but it is also the Little Lucky Grass King.

But why do the Sumeru people seem not to see their own gods at all?

“Apep is right! There’s something wrong with the Sumeru people!” Yu Jin put down the Great Compassion Tree King who was deep in thought, waved his hand, and pointed to the Sumeru Gate not far away.

"Come on, let me see what's wrong with the Sumeru people!"

After saying that, Yu Jin saw the Great Tree King, who looked completely bewildered, rush to the gate of Sumeru City.

As they approached Sumeru City, the once soft dirt road transformed into a solid stone slab road. Patches of green moss clung to the stone slabs.

Even before reaching Sumeru City, one could already feel a damp, sultry, yet perpetually vibrant atmosphere.

Before the gates of Sumeru City stood two dark-skinned guards wielding long spears. Although they appeared to be soldiers from other countries in disguise, the scimitars they wore at their waists clearly distinguished them from ordinary people.

As soon as the guards saw Ember and the Great Tree King running over, they immediately stepped forward and stopped them.

Yu Jin looked at the guards standing in front of him and thought they were very dedicated, as they could tell at a glance that he was an outsider.

"Are you two new travelers to Sumeru?" The guard looked at Yu Jin with surprise, but didn't make any further moves.

“That’s right, you guys have great eyesight.” Yu Jin nodded.

The guards looked at Ember. Even without the Void Terminal, they could recognize someone dressed so strangely.

"Those two are really lucky. This is a void terminal recently distributed to all people in the entire Sumeru region by Sumeru City. Please keep it safe."

"With it, you can figure out the information about Mount Sumeru with just a little thought."

The two guards, after exchanging a few words, handed two leaf-shaped objects to Ember and the Great Tree King.

Ember and the Great Tree King looked at each other in bewilderment.

"By the way, the activation password is 【May I hear the wisdom of the gods】."

Seeing the two men's puzzled expressions, the two guards patted their heads and gave them a reminder.

Ember and the Great Tree King glanced at the green leaf beside the guard's ear, then shouted in unison:

"May I be able to hear the wisdom of the gods."

Chapter 634 The streets are so quiet.

2024-04-28

Lidu Valley is located behind the city of Sumeru. The terrain here is rugged and the trees are towering, so it is rarely visited by people.

Mosquitoes, fungi, and crocodiles in the stream at the bottom of the valley are the true protagonists of this green canyon.

However, many things in the world cannot be judged by appearances alone, and this is also true of Lidu Valley now.

The canyon walls of Lidu Valley are covered with countless vines and branches, but hidden beneath this lush greenery is a deep cave entrance.

Within the valley of Lidu, beneath the city of Sumeru, the area has been completely hollowed out.

"Hazard, joking at this crucial moment is no joke."

In the factory of steel and purple mist, the Doctor is questioning Hazard, the Great Sage.

The two were standing on a steel frame high in the air, and in front of them was a giant doll with its head bowed.

The doll was entirely a brilliant purple, and the faint markings on its chest were strikingly prominent.

The giant doll's back is connected to a series of thick pipes. Massive amounts of matter and energy flow into the doll, illuminating the barbs on its chest and shaping its form.

But at this moment, the pipe on the back of the doll seemed to malfunction, the long pipe was gurgling, as if it was vomiting.

Hazard stroked the leaf-shaped Void Terminal beside his ear with one hand, while resting his other hand on the steel railing, his face contorted in pain.

"Something seems to be wrong with the Void Terminal; something inside is tearing through the firewall."

"Don't worry, I won't let this little problem affect our plans."

Hazard glanced at the Doctor's earlobe. He had given the guy a Void Terminal, but for some reason, the Doctor had never worn it.

Hazard hurried away, watching his disappearing figure. The Doctor pulled out a leaf-shaped mechanical artifact.

"To hear the wisdom of the gods?"

The doctor pinched the Void Terminal between two fingers and flipped it up and down.

"Hmph, do those who surpass the gods need such things?" The doctor looked up at the dim giant doll in front of him and suddenly sneered.

Although it is still an inanimate object, the doctor believes that it will not be long before it possesses true divine power.

The great undertaking of creating a god will also be accomplished in his hands!

Of course, there's still a small problem to overcome before that. For example... that weird thing that keeps sticking to the skirmisher.

The doctor couldn't help but twitch his lips at the thought of its bizarre nature.

"Phew... what a troublesome thing." The Doctor put away the Void Terminal in his hand, first sighing, then grinning.

"I just don't know how it compares to the Abyss."

……

Hazar had already returned to Sumeru City through the secret passage connecting the Church and the God-Making Factory.

"Phew... Damn it, it's usually so quiet, but it suddenly came out at this crucial moment. Did it sense something?"

Hazard's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt, because he saw the figure of Little Lucky Grass King in the Void Terminal.

Naturally, Hazard attributed the anomaly of the Void Terminal firewall being breached to the "Little Lucky Grass King" that had escaped.

[Quickly! Everyone in the 30-man group! Bring back the Little Lucky Grass King!] Azar pressed the Void Terminal on his ear, and his command resounded in the minds of the mercenaries.

Along with the command, the appearance and features of the Great Compassion Tree King also entered his mind.

"Grass God... no, Little Auspicious Grass King, you should take good care of the World Tree. Sumeru, a new god will be coming soon!"

Hazard clenched his fists. After preparing for so long, he absolutely could not allow any failure.

……

"Is today a good day for a celebration?" Ember asked the Great Tree King as he walked down the street.

“I don’t remember. Why are you asking this?” The Great Tree King shook his head, puzzled by the question about the embers.

"Then why isn't there a single person here?!" Upon hearing this, Yu Jin immediately pointed to the deserted streets nearby and loudly complained.

I've never heard of Sumeru being an exclusive place. Why are there fewer and fewer people around him since he entered the city?

"I don't know either," the Great Tree King shook his head innocently.

“Um… I think I understand why.” Yu Jin paused, then raised his hand.

With a "crack," the void terminal on the side of his helmet shattered into fragments on the ground.

"Why did you suddenly crush the Void Terminal?" The Great Tree King was somewhat surprised to see Ember suddenly crush the Void Terminal.

"Because this thing exposed our location," Yu Jin said, shrugging and looking around.

"Lord Little Auspicious Grass King, come back with me." As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, a group of thirty mercenaries dressed in green robes surrounded them from all directions.

Mercenaries surged forth from the alleyways, the bushes, and the houses like a tide. They instinctively aimed their weapons at the Ember and the Great Tree King, which stood on the street.

The Great Tree King stared at the gleaming spear tip before him, its pupils contracting slightly.

"Am I not your god? Why are you pointing your guns at me?"

The Great Tree King, bearing a face identical to Nasita's, stepped forward, her tone filled with questioning, confusion, and pain.

The mercenaries looked at each other, gripping their weapons with conflicted expressions.

"Om-"

But soon, as the Void Terminals beside their ears lit up one by one, the mercenaries' eyes changed from conflicted to resolute.

“Lord Little Lucky Grass, if you are unwilling, don’t blame us for being disrespectful.”

The mercenaries shouted at the Great Tree King once more. At the same time, their positions began to become more deliberate, vaguely forming a formation.

"I originally thought that it was already excessive to link knowledge with identity and status."

The Great Tree King placed his hand on his long, pointed earlobe.

With a "crack," her void terminal also shattered into pieces.

"But unexpectedly, it also robs you of your ability to think and discern."

“Children of Mount Sumeru, I have never doubted your wisdom. But now it seems that this wisdom is being used in the wrong place.”

"So... let me correct you a little."

Yu Jin looked at the Great Tree King, and whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the Great Tree King's tender little face was suddenly covered with a dark shadow.

"Let's go, let's go." Yu Jin nodded. He used all his knowledge to utter two lines of ancient Liyue script before disappearing without a trace.

The mercenaries only felt a blur before their eyes, and then they were left with only Little Lucky Grass King.

So they immediately shouted, "Quick! Don't let the other one get away either!"

"Snapped!"

Before a mercenary could even make a move, he found that his field of vision had become much clearer.

"Where's my Void Terminal?!" the mercenary exclaimed in surprise, looking at the emerald green fragments on the ground, completely bewildered.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of countless void terminals shattering rang out one after another. Soon, a group of bewildered mercenaries appeared on the street.

“Void terminal? The people of Sumeru didn’t need such a thing before.” The figure of the Great Compassion Tree King gradually rose into the air.

To the mercenaries, she appeared shrouded in shadow, which was quite terrifying.

“Little…Little Lucky Grass King, we…we were wrong.”

Only after losing the Void Terminal did some realize that they were facing gods. The legends and songs they had heard since childhood were composed by the gods.

Upon realizing this, many mercenaries immediately slid to their knees.

"Not bad, they've developed some independent thinking ability." The Great Tree King nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the mercenaries' performance.

The mercenaries smiled too; the Little Lucky Grass King was merciful and would surely let them go.

"So, let's do some exercises to strengthen our skills!" The voice of the Great Tree King was no longer gloomy, but full of gentle love, like a forgiving mother.
