Their crimes combined are enough to warrant three deaths.

Later, Seno had the disciplinary officer and the group of thirty announce the fate of these prison breakers.

Even so, the number of people coming to break him out of prison only decreased slightly; some people still tried to rescue him.

Su Hao grabbed a few scholars from the Order of the Church who came to rescue Hazar and asked them some questions.

Knowing that the other person has committed a crime, why would you still come to save him? Are you stupid?

However, later scholars felt that even if the great sage had done something wrong, his crime did not warrant death.

Su Hao countered by asking them, "Do those innocent citizens of Sumeru City deserve to die?"

Those scholars, however, resorted to sophistry, arguing that it's not unusual for people to die in experiments.

This made Su Hao completely lose patience with them; these scholars from the Order Academy were clearly acting abnormally.

Treating human lives as disposable commodities, and then arguing that it's normal for people to die in experiments?

"Then why don't you just die?" Su Hao blurted out, then locked them up.

Seno came over again later, his expression now extremely grim, because these guys had completely disgraced the Tree King!

The execution of Hazard and others began the following day.

Originally, their execution was scheduled to take place some time later, but too many people wanted to escape (and die).

Rather than suffer a long, drawn-out pain, the Great Tree King and Naxida discussed the matter in the chat group and ultimately decided to carry out the execution ahead of schedule.

This way, the situation can be resolved quickly and decisively; anyone trying to save Hazard and the other sages will be eliminated in one fell swoop.

Even if they don't jump out, once Hazard and the others are dead, they'll have no reason to act.

At that time, Nasita can use the void to monitor the entire Sumeru, and even if they want to secretly plan something, she can arrest them immediately.

Therefore, the execution of Hazard and others was brought forward.

At noon, Hazard and his group of condemned men, escorted by disciplinary officers, walked toward the execution ground.

Some people on the street were cursing, some were crying, and some were walking in silence.

A few days ago, they began to treat the high and mighty scholars of the Order of the Church.

Now that they are about to die, even the most mentally strong person would break down at this moment.

They were emotionally distraught but there was nothing they could do, because they were surrounded by a group of thirty people and disciplinary officers, led by Seno.

The guardian standing next to Azar and the other sages is Su Hao, who is there in case someone else has another moment of despair.

At the same time, his presence also serves as a deterrent, warning those in the shadows that if they want to save Hazard, they will have to get past him.

Of course... he's the last resort, so he basically won't have to take action, given the presence of the thirty-person team, the disciplinary officer, and Seno.

If he were to make another move today, Seno's face would likely darken once again.

It must have been tough on Seno; he had to handle everything, big or small, since he was the head of discipline.

Similarly, nowadays, apart from Seno, who can be reused, it's a bit tricky to get anyone else to work with.

Farusian is not suited for this job.

After rescuing his teacher, Tinari returned to Huacheng Guo and had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Confucian Academy.

Al-Hysen, he was just a clerk and not suited to do these things.

But Su Hao always felt that there was something more to the other party's words. If one of the issues was resolved, then he could legally start slacking off.

That's why Sino is always busy, wherever he needs to step in or take action. He's always in a rush!

"We're going to die."

On the way to the execution ground, Hazard suddenly spoke.

After being locked up for two days and two nights, he seemed to realize that he was really about to die.

"What, do you have any last words?" Su Hao looked at Azar, who was really about to die. There was no one on the Teyvat continent who could save him now.

That's for sure; even his allies, the Fools, are preoccupied with their own troubles right now.

It was impossible to send anyone to rescue him; nearly half of the people in the Church of England who wanted to come to his rescue were already in the execution procession.

"Have."

Azar looked at Su Hao, his eyes now devoid of their usual arrogance and madness, instead showing a hint of relief. He asked, "Is the future of Sumeru guided by the God of Wisdom?"

Are we still favored by the god of wisdom?

As these words were spoken, the sages beside Hazard also looked up at Su Hao.

Some scholars who heard Hazard speak also stopped venting their unnecessary emotions.

This answer is very important. A large part of the reason why they agree to the god-making plan is that they want to return to the embrace of the god of wisdom.

To be granted wisdom again by an omniscient and omnipotent God is their long-cherished wish and the future that the entire Church expects.

Now, facing death, most of them have silently accepted reality.

Only a small minority are still unable to accept that they were so powerful just a few days ago, and now they are about to die; it's simply unacceptable.

Looking at Azar and the group of sages and scholars, Su Hao said, "The future of Sumeru will inevitably be guided by the god of wisdom."

Yes, this is inevitable. With the Great Tree King around, it would be difficult for Narcissus to make a mistake. In addition, there are Zhongli and Wendy, who are as reliable as ever, in the group.

And Raiden Shin, the excellent ruler who, with the power of a single god, could pull Inazuma back five hundred years.

Naxida, this child of five hundred years, will surely grow up rapidly and truly become a wise goddess who can stand alone.

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Azar and the other sages and scholars had a gleam in their eyes.

They were content with the fact that Sumeru was guided by the god of wisdom, not by his enemies.

“But you are not favored by the merciful goddess of wisdom.” Su Hao glanced at Azar and the others, and said in a calm tone, “She has been watching what you have done.”

"You have disgraced knowledge and wisdom. Having wisdom does not make you superior, and mastering knowledge does not make you indifferent to life."

Hazard remained silent, as before, because in the past two days and two nights he had calmed down and guessed some things.

Su Hao might be telling the truth; he was entrusted by the Great Compassion Tree King to come to Mount Sumeru to find the Little Auspicious Grass King and give him his inheritance.

However, the scene he saw after arriving at Sumeru was different from what he had expected, so he did not reveal his identity to enter Sumeru. Instead, he went into hiding and secretly gathered information.

Later, through Seno and other scholars from the Order of the Church, they learned what they had done and confirmed that the Little Lucky Grass King had been imprisoned by them.

Su Hao used some unknown method to locate the Little Lucky Grass King and rescued her.

Perhaps during this time he told the Great Compassionate Tree King about what was happening in Mount Sumeru, so that the benevolent deity would know what was happening in Mount Sumeru.

It was based on these assumptions that Hazard asked Su Hao those two questions.

Will Sumeru be guided by the god of wisdom in the future?

Are we still favored by the god of wisdom?

As for whether the other party lied to him, Hazard thought it was impossible, because where would he get the right to let the other party deceive him?

Since he's going to die as a sinner anyway, what does it matter if the other party is lying to him?

"I have one last question I'd like to ask you."

Hazard spoke again, his voice trembling slightly, seemingly unafraid of what he was about to say.

Because he doesn't know if he'll ever get an answer to this question.

This is why Hazard suddenly addressed Su Hao with the honorific "you" (formal).

"Hmm?" Su Hao looked at Hazard with some confusion. The other party seemed to want to say something, but suddenly became polite.

"Go ahead and say it." Su Hao didn't care about answering, because just as Hazard thought, he was about to die anyway, so he might as well chat for a while.

To be honest, Su Hao felt a bit emotional. If Hazard, with his status and position, hadn't driven himself to the brink of ruin, his fate would most likely have been the same as Kujo Takayuki's—simply being imprisoned.

However, Sumeru is different from Inazuma. Sumeru needs a bloody reform so that Nasita, the "new god," can be reborn and fully enter the public eye of Sumeru.

On Inazuma's side, General Raiden was a true god; her every word and action was the voice of all the people of Inazuma, with no one agreeing or disagreeing.

"If we hadn't carried out the god-making plan and had released the Little Lucky Grass King, what would have happened?" Azar asked, looking at Su Hao with great seriousness.

Before he died, he wondered what would have happened if he hadn't stubbornly pushed forward with the god-making plan, but instead done something different from the great sages of the past.

So what will change?

"Do you regret it?"

When Su Hao heard Hazard's words, his first thought was that the other party regretted it?

"I don't know." Hazard shook his head; he didn't know whether he regretted it or not.

On the one hand, he does not regret the plan to create a god, and even now, he still believes that he was right.

Compared to his mediocre predecessors, he carried out reform experiments that were enough to influence Mount Sumeru; at the very least, he took that first step.

But what has happened now has shaken Hazard's resolve, and he must confront his inner questions before death arrives.

"Hmm..." Su Hao pondered for a moment, actually looking at the chat group.

Because he wasn't good at answering this question, he didn't know what answer Hazard wanted.

Could it be that he will become a great hero of Mount Sumeru? That's definitely impossible~

The attitude of the scholars at the Order of the Church towards Little Lucky Grass Queen reveals that anyone in the know fears her existence.

They believed that the Little Lucky Grass King, who had been imprisoned for five hundred years, would definitely retaliate against the Order House upon his release, and might even destroy it.

Therefore, if Hazard insists on releasing Nasita, he is very likely to be rejected or even resented by many scholars or sages!

This is why Su Hao found it difficult to answer this question, and at the same time, he didn't want to answer it, because the question itself had no solution.

However, the Great Tree King cared, even though divine favor would not descend upon him.

But as the god of wisdom, the Great Tree King still offered guidance to Azhar, allowing him some peace before his death.

Looking at the message sent by the Great Tree King in the chat group, Su Hao said, "Hazar, no one can know the future you speak of."

"You may be greeted with hero's cheers, or you may be betrayed by your friends and family, precisely because of the unknown."

"That's why you went crazy and pushed forward the god-making project, unable to resist exploring the path ahead."

Su Hao felt as if he had said something, but it seemed as if he hadn't said anything at all. Was this the wisdom of the Great Compassion Tree King?
