Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Because if she captured Farusan, she would most likely be killed by Su Hao, so the lady decisively returned and went underground, not daring to show her face again.

And Elhesen was right about one thing: the power that could notify so many scholars in such a short time within Sumeru.

Aside from the void within their own church, only the Fools could accomplish this.

Is it possible that the lady deliberately let Farusan escape and secretly notified other scholars to come and put pressure on her?

Thinking of this, and the attitudes of the Doctor and the Lady earlier, Hazard narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

"good very good."

Hazard muttered to himself, though he knew it was all speculation and there was no real evidence to prove it.

But even if it's just speculation, that's enough. Hazard isn't a fool!

"What do we do, Hazard?"

At this moment, several sages and renowned scholars arrived, including the epistemological sage, Cavajra.

At this moment, Cavaja's expression was also very bad, because he had also received intelligence that Senior Farusan had brought a large group of scholars, and those scholars all had names and identities.

Kavaja is well aware that if this matter is not handled properly, the god-making plan will be exposed, and he and his associates may very well fall from power.

After all, the god-making project involves far too many things, and from any perspective, this experiment is not something that ordinary people can accept.

If the allure of creating a new god had not been so strong, the Council of the Church would not have had so many scholars and sages involved in this experiment.

“I’ll handle this. Cavaja, you and Elhesen keep a close eye on the lady,” Hazard said decisively, already suspicious of the Fools.

In addition, given the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to send more people to keep an eye on the Fools, so he could only send Kavaja and Elhesen to keep an eye on the Fools' executors.

Kavaja, as a sage

"Huh?" Cavaja was stunned, not understanding why Hazard wanted him to keep an eye on the lady at this critical moment.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with the Fools?

Upon thinking of this, Cavajra's expression suddenly turned somewhat grim. He nodded to Hazard, indicating that he understood.

Hazard looked at Elhesen and instructed him, "Remember, Elhesen, if anything unexpected happens, you must protect Cavaja immediately and inform me of the specific situation, or take down this lady."

Al-Hysen nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

This made Hazard nod; he knew a little about Elhesen's fighting prowess.

And... it doesn't matter whether the opponent can fight or not, the main thing is that the opponent can be used as an informant to keep an eye on the Fools.

Of course, Hazard still didn't quite trust Elhesen, otherwise he wouldn't have let Cavajra go with him.

After giving these instructions, Hazard led the other scholars and sages to the main gate and also sent a group of thirty people to maintain order at the scene.

What? A disciplinary officer? Hazard would have to be suicidal to call in a disciplinary officer to maintain order!

Seeing Hazard and the others leave, Elhesen's lips curled into a slight smile, but he quickly regained his composure.

Cavaja, with a somewhat gloomy expression, walked towards the interior of the Church, and had Elhesen follow him, clearly intending to question the Fools.

At the entrance of the Faith Institute, led by Farusan, Tinari, Kavi, Laira, and others stood at the door.

"Why aren't they out yet?" Kavi was getting impatient. He glared at the group of thirty people ahead and shouted, "Where's the Great Sage?! Where's Hazard?! Make him come out now!!!"

"What exactly is this God-Making Project?! Why has the number of people weakening and dying in Sumeru City suddenly increased recently?! What happened to the Void System?!"

"And where's Elhesen? Doesn't he enjoy watching these kinds of spectacle? Where's he? He's really neglecting his duty as a scribe!"

Faced with Kavi's words, the mercenaries of the thirty-man group remained silent, or rather, they dared not say anything more.

There were too many scholars in front of us, probably over a hundred, all of whom were elites from the six major schools of thought. Any one of them had made a certain contribution to the Academy of Teachings.

Even if the sages of the six major schools of thought were to arrive together, they probably wouldn't dare to say much in the face of the questions posed by these hundreds of scholars.

Since the establishment of the Academy, the Sages have been merely academic elites of a school of thought. Only those who make great contributions and are recognized by scholars can become Sages.

Similarly... if a sage is rejected by all the scholars of a school of thought, then he is nothing more than an ordinary scholar.

This is why Sumeru is different from Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.

Most scholars remained relatively calm, while a small number of more emotional scholars directly shouted, "Hazard, you old dog, get out here!"

Inside the Academy, the other scholars were trembling with fear, completely unaware of what was happening.

How did those predecessors from different schools of thought unite?! What happened?

Some scholars who knew the inside story had very complicated expressions and didn't know what to say.

And so, amidst cheers from the crowd, the great sage Azar appeared, accompanied by his students and sages from other schools of thought.

"Silence!"

Hazard walked out with a dignified expression. He looked at the familiar faces in front of him, outwardly calm but inwardly pounding with anxiety.

What the hell is going on?! Why are all these well-known scholars here?!

After seeing Hazard come out, everyone calmed down a bit and stopped talking.

"Hazard."

Farusan stepped forward. As a predecessor from a hundred years ago, she is a living legend of the Church. If anyone in the Church today could challenge Hazard.

Then it's only her; she has enough prestige and enough knowledge.

“Senior Farusan.” Hazard looked at Farusan, took a deep breath, and knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.

An invisible sense of oppression began to creep into the air.

PS: "From this chapter onwards, the plot will be high-energy throughout. There's actually a reason why everyone feels the plot has been so weak lately."

"After all, Su Hao's strength is a bit too high. My original plan was to think about the Forest Book or Desert storyline first, and then start the final storyline later."

"I've cut a huge chunk of the plot out of here. I've spent the last ten days or so slowly revising the outline and figuring out a reasonable storyline before I started writing seriously. I'm so sorry!!!!"

Chapter 342 The Great Compassion Tree King is dead! You're lying!

"You don't have to call me senior."

Farusan waved her hand, looking at Hazard with a complicated expression, and said, "To be honest, I'm not worthy to be your senior."

"I originally thought that as a great sage, everything you did was for the sake of Sumeru, but now I know everything. Everything you are doing now is for so-called selfish reasons!"

It's worth noting that Farusan is a very good-tempered person, so for her to say these words is enough to prove her inner anger.

"..."

When Azar saw Farusan say this, he didn't immediately refute her. Instead, he looked at the hundred scholars in front of him and said seriously, "Is that what you all think too?"

In the current situation, Hazard doesn't believe that others are unaware of the god-making experiment plan.

But what can they do even if they find out? Hazard has no way out now.

How could he possibly choose to back down when he was only one step away from success?

It's kind of funny, but he originally thought he would feel unimaginable pressure from the pressure from a hundred scholars.

But he didn't feel unimaginable pressure; instead, he felt relaxed and relieved, as if he should have faced this situation long ago.

Yes, why should there be pressure? He is a great sage! He created a god!!! He performed miracles! He brought the future to Mount Sumeru!

The plan to create a god is about to succeed, and the growth of the scattered soldiers excites him even more. Now, only the last step is left.

"Are you asking for our opinion, Great Sage?" Kavi looked at Hazard and spoke, clearly not expecting Hazard to offer no objection whatsoever.

Instead, he directly asked for their opinions, which surprised Kavi. In fact, he had been thinking about it before he came.

Faced with this situation, what will Hazard do? But right now... the other party's attitude is far too calm.

He was so calm that he wondered if the other person had done nothing at all.

“Yes.” Hazard said calmly, looking at everyone seriously, “I’m curious about what you all think. After knowing so much, tell me your thoughts.”

"All of you here are renowned scholars of the Order of the Church. You are all smarter than the average person. Since you know what I am doing, you should be able to understand me, right?"

An elderly scholar wearing reading glasses stepped forward and looked at Hazard with a solemn tone, saying, "Do you want to create gods, Hazard?"

The speaker was a senior scholar from the Order of the Church, whose seniority and prestige were extremely high.

"Yes." Hazard nodded, his expression showing some pride.

As soon as this door opened, other scholars began to ask questions.

“Why would you do such a thing?”

"Is a god-making project absolutely necessary?"

"Why should our Church of Christ cooperate with the Fools? They have ulterior motives! They are not trustworthy at all!"

"Foolish! Utterly foolish!!! Creating a god?! Hazard!!! You've been blinded by greed!"

"I never expected you to believe in such a plan. It seems you've fallen from grace too, Hazard."

"You really disappoint me by acting solely for personal gain."

A group of scholars criticized Hazard, their expressions showing anger and sorrow, clearly not expecting this.

The esteemed Sage of the Order of the Church actually believed in such a plan—a god! A god, after all!

Aside from the speaker, some scholars remained silent, clearly waiting for Hazard's explanation.

"Heh heh heh, interests? As scholars of the Kapilavastu Prize, don't you know about Sumeru's current predicament?"

Hazard sneered. He knew exactly what these hundred scholars were thinking. He spread his arms and said angrily, "No, you know, you're just pretending not to see."

"And I did it! I did what all of you wanted to do! Instead of praising our 'great achievement,' you raise those trivial concerns and try to sway me."

"To be honest, I thought you would say something to refute me, but it was all trivial. These benefits mean nothing to me!"

Hazard was furious. He even glared at the hundred scholars in front of him, spread his arms, and shouted angrily, "Creating gods!!!! We created gods with human wisdom!!!"

"If humanity cannot reach 'omniscience and omnipotence,' then create a god to reveal it; this is the pinnacle of human wisdom."

"We will eventually regain the guidance of the gods, and will no longer have to grope aimlessly in the darkness of consciousness and wisdom..."

"Even the crisis facing the World Tree will eventually be resolved. This should be the ultimate dream of our Order of the Church, and for this, any price is worth paying."

All the scholars present fell silent for a moment, after all, Hazard was right about some of the things he said.

What is the current situation of the Order of the Church, the crisis of the World Tree, and the [artificial gods]?
