"Are you crazy? That's just in theory. When it comes to people, no one can say for sure what the impact will be. People with weaker constitutions might just die."

"A slight increase in computing power will not cause this level of impact."

"..."

The sages of the Order of the Church erupted into another argument.

The doctor, who was the instigator, quietly watched this farce unfold from the sidelines.

And in his heart, he once again gave these wise men the evaluation of "indecisiveness".

It should be an honor for these people to sacrifice themselves for knowledge and to become gods; they should carry it out decisively. Yet these people are still debating whether they should.

He actually advocated for a more radical approach, but only a slight increase; it was too conservative.

The debate escalated when Hazard, wielding his status and prestige as a great sage, disregarded opposing opinions and forcefully passed the proposal.

At that moment, some people silently accepted this reality.

Anyway, it was Hazard's suggestion, so if there are any problems, he's the one to blame.

Some people, though outwardly resentful of being rejected and refuted, were actually already considering backing down in the face of this inhumane measure.

Chapter 243 Naxida: Sitting in the Pure Goodness Palace, a Pot Falls from the Sky

Amidst the ongoing public debate, the official Sumeru website finally gave a positive response to the issues of desert independence and the Inazuma statement.

The council condemned the desert's actions and Inazuma's remarks.

Apart from that, there were no other actions or heated statements.

It seems they don't intend to respond to this matter much or take any further action; they're simply ignoring it and letting it go.

This sparked strong dissatisfaction among the people of Sumeru, who had already been freed from the censorship of information dissemination and were generally aware of the desert independence and Inazuma's statement.

Although they were well aware that all of this was true and sympathized with the plight of the desert people, they had a complex and contradictory attitude towards the desert and found it difficult to express their dissatisfaction with Inazuma's righteous and righteous words in support of the desert.

However, this does not prevent them from believing that the Council of the Fathers should at least give a strong response.

What the facts are and what actions are actually taken are one thing; whether the response is forceful enough is a matter of appearances and another.

Just when people thought the measures taken by the Kyoto were too weak and ineffective, a statement from the Pure Goodness Palace, the Sumeru Grass God—Little Auspicious Grass King—was released.

In her statement, Little Lucky Grass King admitted her mistakes, stating that her past negligence had led to long-term injustices suffered by desert people, causing the conflict between the desert and the rainforest to worsen and hatred to deepen. She should bear full responsibility for this.

In its statement, Little Lucky Grass King argued that the desert's independence was justified, expressed respect and blessings for the desert's independence, and hoped that the desert and rainforest would maintain good diplomatic relations and cooperate with each other.

He also expressed his gratitude to Inazuma for his contributions to improving the living environment of people in the Sumeru Desert and for supervising his own correction of mistakes.

The news from the Palace of Purity stunned everyone in Teyvat.

what?

This is……

Is this an edict of self-reproach?

The Little Lucky Grass King has taken all the blame upon himself and tacitly approved the independence of the desert.

Not only that, but when Inazuma showed favoritism towards Desert, she even thanked him!

Mount Sumeru split, the desert became independent, Inazuma bluntly interfered, and this is the result?

The entire population of Teyvat is buzzing with discussion about the Grass God's "decree of self-reproach".

Many Sumeru people found this outcome hard to accept, and the discussions about their Grass God—Little Auspicious Grass King—were loud and never ceased.

As a newly born deity, Little Auspicious Grass King was questioned in Sumeru from the very beginning due to her lack of knowledge and wisdom. Some people thought she knew nothing and was unworthy of the title of God of Wisdom.

For hundreds of years, they have rarely appeared in public or participated in public activities, which has further solidified this stereotype.

Even after several generations, the situation has not changed.

This is the only public statement they've made in all this time?

People's dissatisfaction with the Little Lucky Grass King has deepened.

In stark contrast is the Order of the Church.

Previously, the Church of Christ had only verbally condemned both sides, which sparked controversy and people thought it was too weak.

Now, after Jingshan Palace issued its statement, the two are compared...

Even though neither the Pure Land Palace nor the Order of the Nation has made any explanation on this matter, people subconsciously believe that the Order of the Nation did not act on its own initiative, but was informed in advance by the Pure Land Palace and the Little Auspicious Grass King, or at least that the two sides had discussed it.

Even after the gods have already made their judgment and issued a decree of self-reproach to compromise, he was still able to issue a public statement to condemn it. This is not weakness; it is clearly the mark of a true man of unyielding integrity!

The image of the Church of Christ was completely reversed in an instant.

People believe that it was already quite remarkable that he was able to withstand the pressure from the gods and issue a verbal condemnation.

The Order of the Fathers, tough!

The fault lies entirely with the Pure Goodness Palace, entirely with the Little Auspicious Grass King.

For Naxida, who was imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace, she had already gotten used to it.

It's not uncommon for trouble to fall from the sky when you're just sitting at home; this has happened more than once or twice in the past few centuries.

Although this time the blame is exceptionally large.

Can……

What else can she do?

She can't do anything and has no ability to govern Sumeru. She might as well take the blame for the Judgment Council, as long as it is conducive to the stable progress of Sumeru.

As for the desert...

She had been aware of the discrimination and injustice suffered by people in the desert for a long time.

Based on her studies and understanding of humanity over the past few centuries, she was not surprised at all that the desert had risen up in rebellion, declared independence, and broken away from the control of the Church.

This is inevitable as long as this discrimination and oppression persist.

However, it happened much earlier than she expected.

Perhaps it was the example set by the rice-wives that showed the desert people a clear path and demonstrated how to resist.

Compared to the desert, which was embroiled in revanchism and rampaged through the rainforest, the desert, now presented with an egalitarian narrative, is remarkably well-developed and gentle.

At least if the Order of the Church is overthrown one day, Sumeru can have a brighter future instead of fighting each other to the death.

Although she did not write the "edict of self-reproach," and it even unfairly pinned a huge blame on her, she did agree with some of its contents.

That is, under the current conditions, she respects and wishes the people of the desert independence.

If she were to leave Jingshan Palace now to govern Xumi, given this history and current situation, she would likely make a decision that respects and offers her blessings.

In the Jingshan Palace, Naxi Da imagined a scenario where she would encounter this situation as soon as she took office.

With that in mind, she began to pay attention to the situation of that false god in the Order of the Church.

She knew that the Church Council's secret deprivation of the Sumeru people's dreams, its countless years of conspiracies, and the enormous human and material resources it had expended were all preparations for the birth of that false god.

The great sage of our time, Hazar... seems to have placed his hopes for solving the desert problem on that false god.

But this one look was all it took; Nasita was completely stunned.

What did she see?

Nasida subconsciously mimicked the action of a human rubbing their eyes.

Have the Great Sages gone mad?

The thought flashed through Nasita's mind.

They use the void to steal the dreams of the Sumeru people, and by utilizing the computing power of their brains, they have long since crossed the safety threshold.

Over time, this will generally cause damage to the bodies of the Sumeru people.

Most importantly, they have crossed the line.

Nobody knows what they will do next, or whether they will continue to cross the line.

If we were to deepen the understanding further...

Many people may lose their lives to the burden of emptiness.

Without realizing it, Nasita clenched her fists tightly.

Is this what human "anger" feels like?

Nasida felt a surge of desire within her, a desire to completely annihilate Hazard growing stronger.

Chapter 244 Fake

Inazuma City.

Some time ago, Jiang Ming spoke with Navelette, the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, intending to discuss Fontaine's attitude toward desert independence.

As a result, during the communication, Navelette, citing the importance of the matter and the difficulty in explaining it over the phone, directly invited Jiang Ming to make a foreign affairs visit to Fontaine.

Jiang Ming was quite surprised when he received the invitation.

We're just inquiring about Fontainebleau's attitude, making a greeting, and seeking their opinion. We don't expect any support; we just want to maintain the status quo and avoid any deliberate opposition.

There weren't many voices of opposition from Fontainebleau; they were mainly composed of some traditional nobles and merchants, and their voices weren't very strong. After all, it was in the Sumeru Desert, not in Fontainebleau, so the actual impact was ultimately limited.

Logically speaking, achieving the goal of maintaining the status quo should not be difficult.

Moreover, Fontaine, as an important part of the system, also benefits from this process.

Is it really necessary to make them go there in person for such a small problem?

Jiang Ming had a feeling that Villette had something else on her mind, so he temporarily put aside Inazuma's work and agreed.

Just before He Xinhai boarded the private plane to Fontainebleau, the response from the Order of the Instruction and the Pure Land Palace reached Inazuma.

"I never expected that the Little Lucky Grass King would be so...benevolent."

Xin Hai carefully considered the wording several times.
