Chapter 100 Humanity is great because of its ideals!

Understanding what Gu Jing meant, Arecino narrowed her eyes slightly, Sandone blushed and spat, and even the Ice Queen involuntarily looked away. However, the key issue remained how to deal with it.

After a moment's thought, the Ice Queen expressed her opinion: "This is probably just a joke. If you don't want to pay attention to it, then you don't need to."

"However, the benefits of having more contact with them outweigh the drawbacks."

"How exactly should I choose..."

"You may decide for yourselves."

Arecino and the others were not surprised by this. Based on Gu Jing's current abilities and value, he was definitely worth trying to win over. Even if they couldn't win him over, they shouldn't antagonize him. Besides, the Ice Queen really didn't force them.

However, among everyone present, only Columbia was eager to try. Rosalind, Arecino, and Sandoni were all a little worried, fearing that they might come back pregnant.

******

At the same time, by explaining the idea of ​​"whether there are any results or not, let's try first," Yingmei, Paimon, Naxida, and Farusan all understood Gu Jing's meaning—regardless of whether they could ultimately get the result they wanted, it was always good to try.

However, honestly, none of the four women, including Yingmei, believed they possessed his audacity and thick skin.

Without much hesitation, Gu Jing and the other four returned to Huacheng Guo from Chengehu. Seeing that he was unharmed, Tina Li, whose conscience was troubled, breathed a sigh of relief.

These past few days, if Ke Lai hadn't kept telling him that Gu Jing was really alright, he would have almost lost his temper and started a fight with Farusan.

Inside the thatched hut, they learned that Gu Jing and his group were about to depart for Sumeru City.

Tina also casually mentioned, "If you head to Sumeru City now, you should still be able to make it in time for the Flower Goddess's birthday this year."

"The Flower Goddess's Birthday was established by Sumeru to celebrate the birthday of the Little Auspicious Grass King."

"Although the Little Lucky Grass King has not appeared for 500 years."

"The festival is still lively."

Upon hearing this, Nasita's eyes flickered slightly, while Farusan and Paimon both hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped.

Those who had already experienced this storyline knew in their hearts that this year's Flower Goddess's birthday celebration was a huge trap.

He raised his hand and patted Naxida's little head.

Gu Jing smiled and asked, "What's your opinion, Tinari, on the fact that the Little Lucky Grass King hasn't shown up?"

Tina shook her head noncommittally: "Who can know the thoughts of a god? This is not something a mere forest ranger like me can discuss casually."

"Then let's ask another question—"

"You should also know how much the Sumeru people crave knowledge."

“But 500 years ago, the Little Lucky Grass King was just a newly born god.”

"When she is unable to provide guidance of wisdom."

"What do you think...?"

What would the sages of that time have done?

Upon hearing this, Tina couldn't help but imagine along with his train of thought, and then her eyes widened involuntarily.

No wonder the Church's actions are so perplexing, vigorously promoting the Great Compassion Tree King while forbidding scholars from discussing the Lesser Auspicious Grass King.

Even on occasions like the birthday of the Flower Goddess, the Order of the Church has always treated it with a perfunctory and perfunctory attitude.

He once thought that this was because he could not get a response from the gods but had to respect them. Now it seems that perhaps the Little Lucky Grass King did not want to respond to the people of Sumeru, but rather that the Order of the Church did not trust the Little Lucky Grass King!

Moreover... as can be seen from the fact that the Council of the Church promoted the "Void Terminal", knowledge should be a treasure belonging to all living beings, and should be embraced by those who are curious about it, rather than becoming a mere survival tool that is restricted and distributed.

The Sumeru Teaching Academy is rotten to the core!

However, the system of the Seven Kingdoms of the Mortal World will not change because of this. The Little Auspicious Grass King is still the main reason why Sumeru can still exist. And the reason why the Little Auspicious Grass King has not appeared is probably because he has been imprisoned by the audacious sages.

But... how is that possible?

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Tina was in a state of turmoil: "This...this is not something we can discuss casually, Mr. Gu Jing, please be careful with your words."

But Gu Jing's lips curled slightly: "I've heard that the Barogashuna clan comes from the desert. What does Tinali think of the desert?"

******

Tina was still a little confused, so Gu Jing readily changed the subject. This was a sign of respect, and the fact that he could accurately identify Tina as belonging to the Barogashu clan showed his knowledge, which Gu Jing was willing to respect.

However, he didn't really know much about the desert. If he had to give his opinion, the desert people, who could never unite, were truly a disorganized mess.

They often fought for power and profit in the form of various tribes, and there were frictions between them. They also hunted desert merchants in the form of gilded caravans.

They are still alive today simply because the desert environment, with its lack of water and food, makes them difficult to attack. Yet, these desert people are able to survive in the desert. It is due to a combination of factors that these desert people still exist.

In addition-

The rainforest's strategy towards the desert people is also "fight fire with fire," attracting talent from the desert with a favorable environment and abundant knowledge, while also spending money to hire gilded troupes to let the desert people fight each other.

The tribes of Tina, the tribes of Seno... they were originally the Red King's retinue, and they joined the rainforest long ago. Now they regard the rainforest as their home, which undoubtedly shows that the rainforest's strategy is actually very successful.

At this point, Tinari added, "If you want to go to the desert, I have a friend who might be able to help."

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

Gu Jing smiled and nodded: "If you need anything, I won't hesitate to ask."

******

As noon approached, Gu Jing and his group continued their journey along the road towards Sumeru City, watched by Tina and Cole.

However, Farusan was somewhat puzzled: "Why didn't you strike while the iron was hot? Tinali preferred to stay in Huacheng Guo rather than collude with the Church Council. Doesn't that mean he is actually the most suitable person?"

"If we tell Tinari the identity of the Little Lucky Grass King."

"He must have his own thoughts too, right?"

But Gu Jing smiled meaningfully: "You don't believe me when I say you're stupid, so how can you be sure that Tinali doesn't have any ideas?"

"A guy as smart and very self-aware as him."

"If I really want to point him in the right direction and teach him how to do things..."

... ... ...

"That would be counterproductive."

Farussan curled her lip and made an annoyed sound: "Tch~ You're the stupid one! I'm an outstanding scholar of the Epistemological School! Do you even know the value of being the 'founder of classical mechanical arts'? Is it meaningful to deliberately belittle others?"

Gu Jing remained noncommittal: "So—the ability to gain a sense of accomplishment is the reason why someone chooses an obscure subject and ends up having their funding cut by the Academy?"

Obscure subjects, withholding funds... Farusan felt as if she had been shot twice in the heart after just one glance from him!

However, she couldn't help but refute Gu Jing's statement: "Of course it's not for such a superficial reason as gaining a sense of accomplishment."

"It really does feel great sometimes!"

"But we should strive to explore those neglected areas and take a small step forward in pushing the wisdom of all humankind outward!"

"This is the meaning of my life, Farusan!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingying and Mona Sida were stunned for a moment before smiling. They felt that the blue-haired girl in front of them was radiating a dazzling light, and they couldn't help but make a note of it.

[About Farusian (Ideal)]

Looking at Farusan at this moment, I couldn't help but think of a saying: Humanity is great because of its ideals!

Musicians who are deaf can still compose magnificent and moving music.

People with disabilities can still spread positive energy.

Ideals truly possess boundless power.

Just like a withered tree blossoming in spring.

[Like a dazzling galaxy.]

Who can guarantee they won't become the next legend?

【come on! 】

Upon seeing this, people like Farusian were somewhat surprised.

He couldn't help but smile. This bastard had some brains, even though he was a bit slutty!

Chapter 101 The Sage of Mount Sumeru? I just don't like them!

Crossing the starry-colored portal, Gu Jing and his group, who had just left Huacheng Guo, arrived near Sumeru City.

This is a metropolis built on towering trees. The city of Sumeru, a fusion of various elements including flowers and trees, culture and city-state, merchants and pedestrians, offers an unparalleled visual impact.

Standing on the hillside gazing at Sumeru City, Gu Jing smiled and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, colorful petals began to fall from the sky.

Then two rows of humanoid demon armor led the way, with a bright red carpet stretching from the city gate all the way to the entire city of Sumeru.

"this...".

Yingmei and Paimon, who were used to such things, both smiled, while Nasida and Farusan were not quite sure what Gu Jing was trying to do.

"Don't worry."

"The curtain has been raised."

"Now it's time for '663' to make his appearance."

As he spoke, Gu Jing gently patted Naxida's little head, and then led everyone to the Grand Bazaar.

******

On the streets of the Grand Bazaar, the sudden changes left the Sumeru people in the city very puzzled, and the thirty-person group responsible for maintaining order was also struggling with whether or not to take action.

But then they saw Gu Jing and his group of handsome men and beautiful women arrive at this street through a starry sky-colored portal.

Noticing the white-haired girl in his arms, Nel, standing in the crowd, immediately prostrated herself on the ground and respectfully called out:
