In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

In fact, even if Seno were there, it wouldn't have made a difference; he was no match for "The Doctor."

The "Doctor" said that the gadget that uses sound waves to make people fall asleep was invented by the Sages, and perhaps the Sages invented this gadget in the first place to deal with Cyno.

After all, in the eyes of those sages, Grand Disciplinarian Seno was a great threat.

Above the sky, Narcissus showed no fear in the face of the "Doctor's" threat, her small body befitting the majesty of a god.

"Little Lucky Grass King, you are a wise god. You should know the current gap in combat power. You can't use the Thunder God's Divine Heart in battle."

"Oh, didn't you say you came to negotiate with me? Why do you seem to want to use force to seize it now?"

"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, I'm just stating a fact."

"As a scholar, I should show sufficient respect and dignity to the god of wisdom."

This phrase translates to "Don't be ungrateful."

Nasita naturally understood this meaning, but she had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Doctor, is your hypocrisy based on absolute self-confidence?"

I understand what you mean, however…

Nasida held the Heart of Thor in his hand.

"If I were to destroy the heart of God now and awaken 'Heavenly Principles,' what would you do then?"

Narcida's words were clearly beyond the "Doctor's" expectations, leaving him surprised and confused.

"Awaken...the 'natural law'?"

Meanwhile, the people of Douluo Continent and the gods of the God Realm who were watching the celestial canopy were also puzzled: Who is "Heavenly Principle"?

However, judging from Nasita's words, this "heavenly principle" should be an existence above the gods.

The five great god-kings of the divine realm also showed a wry smile. They were far inferior to Naxida, the grass goddess, let alone "Heavenly Principles" who were above the grass goddess.

If they knew the phrase "sitting in a well and looking at the sky," they would understand that they are the frog sitting at the bottom of the well.

Meanwhile, Apep, the Grass Dragon King hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest, felt fear and anger upon hearing Naxida mention "Heavenly Principles" in the sky.

She had truly faced the "principles of Heaven," and it was precisely because she had faced them that she understood how terrifying they were.

Appepp now would absolutely not dare to face "Heavenly Principle" alone. Not to mention "Heavenly Principle," the "Four Shadows" hurdle would be difficult for Appepp to overcome.

"God of Wisdom, do you think that's possible?"

Nasita looked directly at the "Doctor" and said calmly, "The 'Heavenly Principle' has been dormant for so many years, but the Heart of God is the symbol of the Heavenly Principle's control over the continent of Teyvat and all laws."

Will its destruction draw the attention of "Heavenly Principles" once again?

Then... how will everything that the Fools have done come to an end?

Are you willing to bet with me on this possibility?

"Hmph, 'gambling'? I'm truly surprised to hear the word 'gambling' from the mouth of the god of wisdom."

I thought you would produce evidence or convince me with rigorous and sophisticated reasoning.

"What a clever move! Could it be that while I was trying to capture your consciousness, you also saw through me?"

"As a scholar, I respect all possibilities. This has always been my principle and an essential quality for an experimenter."

"Indeed, I cannot ignore this 'possibility.' Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Despite being at a significant disadvantage, Nasita managed to force the "Doctor" back to the negotiating table with just a few words, truly showcasing Nasita's wisdom as a goddess.

Beside Ouyang Kong, Naxida was reviewing what she had done back then, wondering if there had been a better option.

In fact, Nasita's choice at that time was already the optimal solution.

Nasida also stated her conditions in the sky.

"The heart of a god from a foreign land, even if left in Mount Sumeru, will only bring disaster."

But this Heart of God was a spoil of war that I obtained after defeating one of your Fatui's executors.

Now that you want to take back your spoils from me, you, the instigator, have to pay a price.

"Price? Interesting. What kind of price do you want me to pay?"

"How about erasing all your other slices?"

Upon hearing Nasita's condition, the doctor once again showed a look of surprise.

"Hahaha, so you're actually trying to restrict me, the most threatening opponent to the 'Kingdom of Wisdom,' in this way?"

Your actions are tantamount to robbing me of all the eyes I project into the dimension of time.

Nasita appeared very confident, as if the "doctor" in front of her would definitely agree to the condition.

"Slicing is extremely difficult, requiring a vast and rare amount of resources, time, and effort. To have me destroy it all here... your choice is quite brilliant."

"That's really interesting. Can I assume you were already on guard against me?"

"Of all the 'me's, this slice is the most selfish. If it were any other 'me,' your idea wouldn't work."

"God of Wisdom, what did you see while you were imprisoned?"

"You've been watching me too, so you know I've had enough of their questioning and I'm fed up with their endless arguments."

Nasida looked at the "Doctor" with her usual calm tone.

"You yourself said that making peace with yourself is a very difficult thing. Have you, being so intelligent, managed to do that?"

"Hehe, I see. If the God of Wisdom deems so many 'me's' worth exchanging for a divine heart... then it's a deal."

The doctor's decisiveness surprised Narcida.

"You don't seem to mind that much. Is the relationship between 'you two' really that bad?"

"I don't think it's anything to mind. Exchanging my surplus for a divine heart, do you think anyone could offer a higher price for themselves?"

Just from this one sentence, you can feel just how cold-blooded the "Doctor" really is.

Being ruthless to others isn't true ruthlessness; being ruthless to yourself is true ruthlessness.

It's clear that "Doctor" is a ruthless person.

The people in the Church of Christ only just learned that Nasita had made such a deal with "The Doctor".

Beside Nefer, Thut once again possessed Asheru's body.

"As expected of the 'God of Wisdom,' if the Red King had listened to advice back then, he might not have ended up like that."

This "doctor" must be the scholar I met before. Indeed, I wasn't mistaken.

"Tute, you've had contact with 'The Doctor'? When?"

Nefer asked, somewhat surprised.

"A long time ago, when he was just a scholar named Zandik, I wanted to give him the third question, but he refused."
