The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Of course, this is on the premise that we ignore the huge flower buds biting the mercenaries' heads.

Chapter 635 The Goods Are Not as Described

2024-04-28

“呃……，1+1=3，3+3=4，4+4=9……”

"Slimes are edible, and mushroom beasts are the same as slimes, so mushroom beasts are edible too!"

"There are so many stars in the sky, and so many people on the ground; each star represents a person!"

……

On a street in Sumeru City, there were thirty mercenaries with mosquito coil-like eyes, unconscious.

These battle-hardened, robust mercenaries were all lying prone on the ground, drooling and muttering something under their breath.

Judging from their expressions, they must have suffered some kind of shock to their brains.

"What is this nonsense?" Yu Jin squatted on the ground and listened to the mercenary's mutterings for a while, and was immediately speechless.

These guys were spouting nothing but mundane facts, but they were all getting them all wrong.

Even Ember knows that statements like 1+1=3 and slimes are edible are wrong.

"It seems the effect is not good. It doesn't matter. Time is the one thing I have plenty of. For those who have strayed from the right path, we should teach them carefully."

A childish voice came from mid-air, and then vines with large flowers at their tips burst out of the ground, baring their fangs and claws as if trying to bite the mercenaries' heads.

"stop!"

Upon seeing those man-eating plants, Yu Jin immediately transformed into afterimages and severed all the growing vines.

Incidentally, he also plucked down the Great Tree King that was raging in the air.

"Ember, are you trying to stop me from teaching my people?" The Great Tree King was trapped under Ember's armpit and couldn't move.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin looked at the fluttering badminton shuttlecock he was holding with great astonishment.

"What? So you're teaching them? I thought you wanted to turn them into mentally challenged people."

The Great Tree King was exhausted from struggling, so the shuttlecock fluttering in Ember's hand quieted down.

She turned to look at the embers swirling on the roof and said speechlessly, "What makes you think a god would treat his people like this?"

The Great Tree King looked up from mid-air and saw that everyone in the city was wearing a void terminal that looked like a green leaf.

So she added, "Even though these people disappoint me somewhat."

The Great Tree King thought the Void Terminal was a good thing, but the person in charge of it did not bring out its true potential.

She left behind the Void, a treasure trove of knowledge, so that knowledge could circulate to every citizen of Sumeru.

The people of Sumeru were indeed wise; hundreds of years after their deaths, they developed the "Void Terminal," a device that could unleash the potential of the void.

However, it failed to achieve this goal and instead became a major barrier to people's acquisition of knowledge, even weakening the thinking ability of the Sumeru people.

Knowledge can be acquired through learning. But if wisdom is lost, where can it be regained?

“I don’t think the white foam at the corners of those mercenaries’ mouths thinks so,” Ember said to the Great Tree King in a serious tone.

Can this be considered teaching? What kind of teaching can make someone foam at the mouth?

"Their brains have been unused for too long, and they've become a bit rusty. I'm just helping them revitalize their long-dormant brain cells."

"Once they come to their senses, they'll be grateful they have a good brain."

The Great Compassion Tree King looked down at the bustling Sumeru people below, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

"It's not as good as my corporal punishment."

Ember commented on this. It's not as effective as his Personality Correction Fist. Fists can be used to correct not only personalities, but also minds!

The Great Tree King kept glancing at the Sumeru Man on the ground, and with each glance, the embers clenched even tighter.

And so, Ember and the Great Tree King successfully concluded their half-day tour of Sumeru City.

Why is your face so red?!

Yu Jin looked down and saw the Great Tree King with a bright red face—no, it should now be called the Great Red Flower King.

"Ding ding ding!" A chubby little hand patted Yu Jin's arm, bringing him back to his senses.

"Sorry, I forgot to hold back." Yu Jin loosened his arms a little embarrassed and put the Great Tree King down.

"Huff... huff... where did I offend you? You can just tell me." The Great Tree King clutched his neck, panting heavily.

"No, that's not it. I'm mainly afraid you'll turn all the people of Sumeru into idiots," Yu Jin shook his head and then said solemnly.

The name "Great Tree King" almost misled him. Ember thought this little guy would be some kind of benevolent deity.

But now that I look at it... it's a bit like the product didn't match the description.

"I already said, it's just a matter of doing problems to clear up my thinking. Besides, with my current strength, it's impossible for me to clear up the minds of all the Sumeru people."

The Great Tree King explained with a sense of helplessness, "Why does Ember always feel that her teaching methods will turn people into idiots?"

Could it be because her teaching requires placing the flower of knowledge on people's heads?

"That's good." Yu Jin nodded upon seeing this, realizing that he had been judging others by his own petty standards.

"So the most urgent task now is to quickly restore my strength so that I can pull Sumeru back from the wrong path!"

"Hey! Where are you running to!"

With a swift leap, Yu Jin slammed the running badminton shuttlecock to the ground. Indeed, the name "Great Compassion Tree King," like "Maharuka Nivata," was probably chosen for no reason.

"Let me go!" The Great Tree King slapped the ground, and thick vines intertwined, binding the embers tightly.

However, this was of no use at all. The thick vines were taut and even cracked, but Yu Jin's body did not sway in the slightest.

"Bang!" The vine snapped due to excessive force, and Yu Jin turned his head to take a look.

"what?"

"Let go, I was just saying that." The Great Tree King patted the ground upon seeing this.

“You’re quite the joker,” Yu Jin said as he got up from the ground and stood up as well.

"Don't you think the power of a god is so easily restored?" The Great Tree King patted the dirt off his body and rolled his eyes.

“That seems to be true.” Yu Jin nodded in agreement.

"Then why were you running so fast just now, like you really had some good ideas?"

"Sumeru is not only inhabited by humans, but also by the Great Tree King." Standing outside the city, the Great Tree King first glanced at the dense jungle, then looked out at the distant desert.

"Not only my people, but there are many things on the land of Sumeru that I need to see."

"I left behind too many preparations, and I died too quickly. Some things are better left unsaid; you can only feel at ease if you see them with your own eyes."

The Great Compassion Tree King lowered her eyes. Five hundred years had changed so much. Even the Sumeru people, whom she was once so proud of, had now gone astray.

And what about the Lannarho? They were their own people, their own subjects. What happened to them after the great catastrophe?

She wanted to see not only Lanaro and the humans, but also the rainforest and the desert. She wanted to see how life was there, and whether the darkness seeping from the ground had been dealt with.

Especially the desert, which is the front line of Sumeru's battle against the abyss. At first, she only summoned the divine bird Seymourne, formed from spiritual light, and sent it to fly into the desert.

Ultimately, the light, just as the goddess of flowers had foretold, blocked the calamity of the abyss, but she knew nothing of what happened afterward.

Just to be on the safe side, the Great Compassion Tree King felt he should go and take a look.

"I see. You just woke up and wanted to revisit the old place, so you should have just said so!" Yu Jin suddenly realized that this guy hadn't seen Sumeru for too long and wanted to take a look around.

"But what about Sumeru City? Aren't you very dissatisfied with them? And it seems their void terminals are acting a bit strange." Yu Jin changed the subject and asked, looking down.

"I am dissatisfied, but I am no longer a deity of Mount Sumeru." The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head and continued:

“Little Jixiang, I will watch how she fulfills her divine duties.”

After saying that, she took a deep look at the Jingshan Palace hidden deep in the canopy of trees.

Chapter 636 The Wise Man in the Abyss

2024-04-29

On the other side, inside Sumeru City, although Ember and the Great Kindness Tree King had already rushed out of the city, Sumeru City was still bustling with activity.

The mercenaries patrolling outside the city failed to see Ember leaping through the sky, so the Church of Jesus assumed that Ember and the Great Tree King were hiding somewhere in the city.

"Have you found them?" Azar asked impatiently as he watched the mercenary captain run towards him.

“Great Sage, please forgive my incompetence. We only found this at the place where the Little Lucky Grass King last appeared.”

The mercenary captain lowered his head and showed the fragment of the Void Terminal in his hand to Hazard.

“Fragments of the Void Terminal?” Hazard glanced at them and immediately understood what these green things were.

"No wonder there was no news of them in the void; it turns out they crushed the void terminal of the person they encountered."

A sense of surprise rose in Hazard's heart, followed by a lingering fear.

How could a god, who is like a small animal and only active in a cage, have unknowingly reached this level?

If Little Auspicious Grass King were stronger, she might be able to break free from the constraints of the Pure Goodness Palace. If she were to discover his plan to create a god then, how would she treat him?

Thinking about his disrespect for the grass god over the years, Hazard couldn't help but shudder.

"Quickly, get more people involved, we must catch the little lucky grass king that has escaped!"

Hazar's tone was more urgent and disrespectful than before. His desire to capture the Grass God was now even stronger.

Moreover, Azar also desperately wanted the artificial god beneath Sumeru City to immediately display its power.

As long as his plan succeeds, Little Lucky Grass King has nothing to worry about.

……

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! We must dig three feet into the ground to bring back Lord Little Lucky Grass!"

"Grunt! Grunt!"

"Useless! I told you to dig three feet into the ground, and you actually did it?"
