Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

However, he couldn't reveal his feelings to Nasita.

He could only feign surprise and say to Nasita, "I would like to hear the details."

“They used the Void Terminal to integrate everyone in Sumeru City. If we compare it to your system, every person in Sumeru City is a chip or a core. The entire Sumeru City is a giant supercomputer.”

Jiang Ming nodded, having anticipated this, and his mind had already been spoiled by it.

"They are harvesting the dreams of the Sumeru people, using their brains to calculate the data for creating false gods. This has been going on for a long time. However, in the past, it did not have a significant impact, so I did not stop them. But recently, they have crossed the safety threshold."

"I don't know when they will cross the line again, but the safety of the people of Sumeru City is in their hands."

It seems that things are indeed as he thought.

The Council of the Fathers' insane actions were brought forward.

"So, you want me to stop their crazy behavior?"

"That's right. This concerns the lives of countless people."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ming said, "Let's not talk about why I should help you. I also abhor this inhumane behavior. If possible, I will definitely provide assistance to the best of my ability. However, this is an internal affair of the Sumeru Rainforest. How would you like me to help you?"

"Should we allow Inazuma's army to forcibly occupy the Kyoto Shinkansen as an invading force?"

"I know that the desert is now relying on your support. Without your strong support, the desert would not have undergone such changes."

"If you want to rely on the power of the desert to stop the Church, then you've come to the wrong person. You should go to Gerald; he is the current leader of the desert. The desert has become independent and is no longer under the Church's control, nor is it under our command."

"The desert currently lacks sufficient systemic support. Without your strong support, it may not be able to completely overthrow the Council. Moreover... the false god that the Council is secretly building could be born at any time, and the Doctor is also within the Council."

Nasida's purpose was very clear.

She knew very well that the key was the woman behind the desert.

Otherwise, relying solely on the desert might leave them exhausted after a fierce offensive.

Even though she was almost certain that Inazuma would support the desert's move to overthrow the Church, she still wanted to confirm it in person.

Moreover, at crucial moments, they may have to face two demon-level combatants, which makes Inazuma's help even more indispensable.

Even putting all that aside... she still needed to convince Jiang Ming to vouch for her.

Otherwise, Gerald might not approve, and even if he did, he might not necessarily assist her, the goddess of the rainforest.

This suggestion was given to her by Dina Zede.

To Nasida's delight, Jiang Ming knew and acknowledged her identity right away, which undoubtedly saved her a lot of time and energy to prove herself.

For Jiang Ming, Nasita's plan was quite unexpected.

what?

Is Nasita planning to overthrow the Church?

This change... is quite significant.

But thinking about it carefully... it seems reasonable.

The traveler, the biggest variable, did not come. Without the traveler, Nasita could not solve the problem of how to prove that Nasita was Nasita.

Ultimately, what is written in the scriptures is not important; what matters is having the right to interpret them.

The power within the Council of the Elders, such as Elhesen, Seno, and Tinari, is almost unreliable. Even if the trust issue is resolved, Hazard, who possesses the Void, can easily predict their actions, not to mention the Doctor.

So, the goal is to save the people of Sumeru City before the Order of the Church crosses any further lines...

There's only one method left.

We can use the desert as an opportunity to solve the problem.

Choosing the desert implies choosing the path of violently overthrowing the Church.

"If I'm not mistaken, the desert is also in a passive position now."

“A portion of the desert troops are currently assembled not far from Kawan Post, but they have now halted their offensive plans.”

This brings us to the Education Bureau's strategy of "retreating to advance".

By impersonating the Grass God, he actually conceded defeat, expressed respect and blessings to the desert, and lowered his stance, which forced the desert to suspend further actions.

If the desert launches another attack on the rainforest, it will be seen as pushing its luck and could trigger widespread discontent among the rainforest inhabitants, which would be detrimental to future development.

The actions of the Faculty of Education were indeed a win-win situation.

Chapter 246 Method

"This matter is very difficult to handle."

At present, the rainforest lacks contradictions that could escalate the conflict, as well as sufficient resistance forces, making it difficult to shake the foundations of the Church's rule or stop its actions.

But the desert was thus bound hand and foot.

If the desert were to attack the rainforest, we couldn't just consider the Church; we also had to consider what the people of the rainforest would think.

After all, with the ebb and flow of development over the years, the population of rainforests far exceeds that of deserts.

Once Sumeru is unified, the majority of the population will still be people from the rainforest. If the thoughts of the rainforest people are not taken into account and they are opposed, then the foundation of the rule will be unstable.

The people of the rainforest now generally believe that the desert has escaped its awkward situation, received the blessing of the Little Lucky Grass King, and the Order of the Church has not interfered excessively. Now the people of the desert can develop independently and communicate and exchange ideas with the Sumeru Rainforest on an equal footing, which is already a very good result.

The people of the rainforest are not as oppressed as the people of the desert. The internal conflicts within the rainforest are far from enough to warrant the rainforest people supporting the overthrow of the Church.

Their previous lack of opposition stemmed from their understanding of the desert people in the past, and also from Gerard's egalitarian narrative.

However, this situation has changed with the issuance of a statement by Jingshan Palace.

Launching a war against the Church under these circumstances would most likely lead to many negative perceptions.

Gerrard's vision extends far beyond the desert.

Therefore, Gerrard ordered a halt to the operation and waited for an opportunity.

This situation is very unfavorable for Nasita, who wants to resolve the Church Council's crazy actions as soon as possible.

There was not enough power, not enough reason, and not enough conditions.

"The enemy is not reactionary enough, and has even deceived the people of Sumeru City and the entire Sumeru City with sugar-coated bullets."

Jiang Ming simply gave his conclusion.

"Well……"

Nasita simply lowered her head, pressed her index finger to her lips, and made a series of unintelligible sounds without speaking.

Should the apostolic council's insane actions be made public?

But who would believe that?

The great sage only needs a statement of denial to cover it up.

"You said that the Order Council is currently using the void to harvest the dreams of the people of Sumeru City, uh... stealing the brain computing power of the people of Sumeru City, and has exceeded the security threshold. What impact will this have on reality?"

Jiang Ming seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Naxida a question.

Will it have an impact?

Nasida gave a brief assessment.

"In its current state, it probably won't have a significant impact. At most, people in Sumeru City who wear the Void Terminal might feel fatigued and drowsy during the day, experiencing symptoms like mental confusion, just like those who haven't slept or rested for a long time."

"Such obvious symptoms?"

Jiang Ming glanced at Naxida's projection with some surprise.

Surprisingly, the Order of the Fathers did not begin an endless cycle of exploitation without any restraint, as depicted in the game's storyline.

Jiang Ming did not believe that the Church Council had a change of heart. Judging from common sense, it was more likely that the development of the God of the Righteous Machine was not yet in the final sprint stage, but Azar wanted to speed up the process, so the Church Council chose this sustainable, short-sighted approach.

The good news is that there shouldn't be too much danger before we get to that final sprint or other unforeseen events.

The bad news is that the scene of endlessly resurrecting and harvesting in the plot could happen at any time.

However, what Jiang Ming was curious about was how the Order Academy planned to cover up such a large-scale anomaly in Sumeru City.

“They intend to use the ley line anomaly as an excuse, and the announcement states that a small number of people may be unaffected, and that foreigners are less likely to be affected,” Nasita explained.

Now, everyone who enters Sumeru City will be given a Void Terminal by the group of thirty.

All services and commercial activities within Sumeru City must be conducted through the void. In fact, it is impossible to live in Sumeru City without using a void terminal.

Moreover, the void is indeed very convenient.

The people in Sumeru City have no doubt about the safety of this ancient artifact that has been around for hundreds of years, and the locals of Sumeru City would not even take it off while sleeping.

The Council's explanation also took into account the few people who would remove their Void Terminals during breaks, thus leaving themselves ample room for maneuver.

However, since such a huge real-world impact has already been caused, especially in a place like Sumeru City with a strong academic atmosphere, there is much room for maneuver.

"Okay, I have a plan."

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then said to Nasita, "To properly resolve this matter, we still need to do some preparatory work, which we will carry out as soon as possible. During this time, we will need you to keep an eye on the actions of the Order of the Church."

"After we finish our visit to Fontainebleau, I will go to the desert as soon as possible to discuss this matter with Gerald. If the Church attempts to do anything irreversible, we will take immediate action to stop it."

Although Nasita didn't quite understand what method Jiang Ming intended to use, she eventually agreed.

This is her only hope right now, and she has no choice but to believe.

"Thank you."

"You are Welcome."

Once completed, the desert will achieve a reasonable and stable unification with Sumeru, gaining an ally with the same ideology and significantly strengthening its own power.

Secondly, this is equivalent to directly saving everyone in Sumeru City, which will effectively increase their prestige and also strike a blow against the Fools.

Finally, there is Nasita, the goddess of wisdom.

Although the final designation is unlikely to be any god of Sumeru, and Nasita herself seems to have accepted this, being able to join the research work is still a huge gain, just like with the Ray movie.

It's like finding a level 10 scientist with maxed-out trait buffs while playing StarCraft.

This matter can be considered to have multiple benefits.

"I have one more request."
