But Hazard and the other sages and scholars stared wide-eyed, as if struck by lightning.
"Hahahaha!!! So that's how it is!! So that's how it is, this is [wisdom]!"
Hazard suddenly smiled with relief, as if he understood something, but he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.
Chapter 371 I Am Guilty
Is this wisdom?
"We were wrong..."
"It's too late to realize."
The other sages were just as distraught as Hazard, clearly having grasped something from Su Hao's words.
This left Su Hao somewhat bewildered. What did those words mean? He didn't quite understand.
Thinking of this, Su Hao decided to ask the Great Compassion Tree King in the chat group what he meant by those words.
However, someone was faster than him.
Paimon: "I'm a little confused. What was the meaning behind what you just said?"
[Paimon: "Why do the Great Sage and the other sages all look so dejected, as if their words contain some hidden meaning?"]
Klee: "Klee doesn't know either."
[Ayaka Kamisato: "Hmm... I only understand one thing, which is that this passage seems to be related to what the Order of the Nation is doing now."]
[Kuki Shinobu: "I only gleaned one thing from this: the future that the great sages envisioned was the result of desire."]
[Nasita: "It's less about desire and more about fear—the fear of five hundred years erupting within Hazar."]
[Sino: "Hazard wasn't the most brilliant sage, but he was aggressive in everything he did, with a relentless drive to achieve his goals."]
[Sino: "And he was arrogant, believing he was absolutely destined for success and that the future he envisioned would definitely come to pass."]
[Yae no Miko: "Otherwise, why would he be a great sage?"]
[Yae no Miko: "Previously, after Narcida was imprisoned, his voice in Sumeru and the Order of the Church was the loudest, wasn't it?"]
[Yae no Miko: "After reaching the pinnacle of fame and power, he will naturally consider whether he can go even further."]
[Yae no Miko: "And the great sages of the past all chose a path in some matter. Before the arrival of the Doctor and the Fools, he, as the great sage of his time, must have also pondered similar questions."]
[Yae no Miko: "For example, what would happen to Sumeru Future if there were no Grass God? What would we do if our [wisdom] stagnated?"]
[Floating Abode: "Do you feel fear about the unknown future?"]
[Rota Dragon King: "Fortunately, we have Morax in Liyue."]
[Gui Zhong: "I'm still here! So there's absolutely no need to worry about the future!"]
Shen He: "But there is no emperor in Sumeru, and they have imprisoned Naxida."
[Ke Qing: "Then Hazard chose the wrong path, and now he's in this predicament. That question he just asked was clearly an excuse for himself, like he chose the wrong path."]
[The Great Compassion Tree King: "Yes, that's one point. Judging from his expression, he seems to understand what I'm saying."]
[The Great Tree King: "It's a pity he didn't understand this sooner."]
Paimon: "Um... could you explain it more clearly? I still don't understand."
Klee: "Klee doesn't understand either!!!"
[Abedo: "Well, to put it simply, Hazard, when faced with the choice between the 'god-making plan' and his belief in Nasita, values the 'god-making plan' more."]
[Abedo: "Even now, he still believes that the god-making plan was not wrong."]
[Abedo: "Because for five hundred years, the imprisoned Shinashida has brought no development to Sumeru; those who know of her existence only harbor fear."]
[Zhongli: "But the wise men of the past, filled with fear, could not trust Narcida. Lacking any means to rival the demon god, they could only imprison her."]
[Zhongli: "This fear was passed down in this way. In addition, the scholars of Sumeru have a strong ability to expand their thinking, so they no longer treat Naxida as a grass god."]
[Raiden Shin: "Hazard's question was actually an attempt to give himself psychological comfort, namely, that Su Hao told him that choosing Nasida would lead to a bright future."]
[Raiden Shin: "He'll definitely be happy, because that's the typical 'victor's face.' He's just the loser, not a true loser."]
[Abedo: "But the words of the Great Tree King would be a fatal blow."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "The plan to create a god driven by fear is a mistake. This plan will ultimately bring no benefit to the people of Sumeru; on the contrary, many people will die because of it."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "They are blinded by fear and desire, and can no longer see what is before them."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "They can only discern what is beneficial to themselves, not to Sumeru or the Order of the Church."]
Paimon: "Is that how it is? Ah... you guys came up with so much from just a few words?"
Klee: "Wow, that's amazing!!! Even though I still don't quite understand, it just feels so incredible!"
Narcida: "It's okay. If possible, Klee can never understand, and just live happily like this."
Klee: "Is this what adult worries about?"
[Ella: "There should be more, otherwise Hazard and the others wouldn't be making those faces."]
[Su Hao: "+1, I think so too."]
[The Great Tree King: "Yes, and another point is that the wisdom they seek is actually all around them."]
The Great Tree King said, "Whether it was the first sage or myself, we all experience wisdom through the small things in daily life."
The Great Compassion Tree King said, "True wisdom is not the result, but everything gained in the process of exploration."
[The Great Tree King: "Therefore, even if the plan to create a god succeeds, that stragglers cannot give them the [wisdom] they desire, so the plan has already failed in essence."]
[Nasita: "This is also why I had to shut down the Void. Because of the existence of the Void system, most scholars in the Council of the Order have given up exploring this aspect."]
[Nasita: "They obtained the fruit directly, but this fruit doesn't truly belong to them."]
[Su Hao: "I see, I understand now."]
Paimon: "I still don't understand..."
[Luminous: Paimon, haven't you gotten this far yet?]
[Luminous: "To put it simply, it's about what we experienced in Mondstadt and Liyue. Do you remember all those details clearly?"]
Paimon: "Of course I remember it clearly!!! Traveler, you initially considered the gods as your enemies!"
Wendy: "Oh?!"
[Zhongli: "An imaginary enemy?"]
[Raiden Shin: "Interesting~"]
[Lei Movie: "That's normal, after all, the traveler was attacked by [that person]."]
[The Great Tree King: "Yes."]
[Naxi Da: "Pfft~~~"]
[Raja Naga King: "Welcome to challenge Morax."]
[Luminous: "Ahem, so Paimon, do you understand now?"]
Paimon: "Oh!! I see!!! It means that Hazard, like the Traveler, initially viewed the gods as potential enemies."
[Paimon: "The difference is that, through their travels, travelers learn about the deeds of the gods, make many friends and companions, and even join chat groups, etc."]
Paimon: "These experiences taught the traveler that gods are not necessarily enemies, but Hazard was different. He didn't actually travel; he was just getting stuck in his own thoughts, which is why he made mistakes."
Paimon: "Hehe, isn't that right?"
[The Great Compassion Tree King: "Hmm~~~~Yes~That's right!"]
[Nasita: "Pfft, Paimon is so cute, but in a way, that's true."]
[Nasida: "Because travel is part of growing up, isn't it? I'm about to enter this stage too."]
Paimon: "Nasita wants to travel with us?!"
[Nasita: Perhaps~ But I won't have time to travel until things stabilize in Sumeru.]
[Nasita: "Now, let me see Hazar and the others off."]
[Su Hao: "I also need to escort them to the execution ground."]
After sending the message, Su Hao looked at the dejected Hazard and the others beside him and finally understood why they had such expressions.
They are intelligent enough to understand the meaning behind the Great Tree King's words.
This is far more ruthless than simply defeating them.
Is it really fitting to say that he is the god of wisdom? Compared to Nasita's naivety, the Great Tree King is clearly more mature and experienced.
And so, the distraught Hazard and his entourage were taken to the execution ground.
There are very few executions in Sumeru, almost none, since most of the criminals here are scholars.
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it is indeed the case, because there is the Void System, which monitors the entire Sumeru.
Most people won't do anything illegal or disorderly unless they're forced into a corner. Otherwise, they'll just become a "golden tour group in the wild".
Scholars, on the other hand, know how the void works, and once they have lost their fear, they have many ways to bypass it.
They have a clearer understanding of how the group of thirty and the disciplinary officers operate, so their chances of committing crimes are very high.
However, most scholars were also conducting illegal experiments, which were later discovered by disciplinary officials, who arrested them on the spot and began their prison careers.
Now, with hundreds of people about to die, including former high-ranking officials of the Church of Christ, this is quite a hot topic.
Many people came to witness the execution. Some were hostile to the Church House because of the "God-Making Project," some wanted to save Hazar and the others, and some wanted to see their friends one last time.
But the vast majority are simply onlookers, or angry bystanders unwittingly being used as "experiments."
On the execution platform, Hazard and his group were all under the control of the disciplinary officers or the group of thirty.
After all, even those who had previously shouted that Hazard and the others were innocent and came to break him out of prison would be no match for death.
At this moment, his heart is filled with fear, and he vows that he will never dare to do it again! Merciful Little Lucky Grass King, please let him go.
But the merciful Little Lucky Grass King did not appear; she watched the execution silently in the shadows, for she was about to personally execute this group of people.
Gods can be merciful, but when necessary, they should also be given a little bit of divine deterrence.
