Reading poems from Teyvat

Therefore, it could only be that Shen Zhigui wanted to lure him into taking action against the witch and that’s the kind of news he released.

So even though the priestess and the blond foreign traveler have been active near Xumi City recently, he has never thought of dispersing his forces.

The Ministry of Education is in a state of panic right now, and so is he.

Not to mention that he doesn't have to use the Heart of Thundergod now.

He originally thought that there was no more efficient way to utilize the power of God's Heart than to create a new body to carry it, but the appearance of the young man broke his prejudice.

How on earth did he do it?

Although the answer is actually that Thor personally blessed Shen Zhigui, and Lei Dian Dianying was not as powerful as Daci Tree King and Wendy because they obtained the Heart of God, although she obtained the Heart of God purely because of inheritance from brother to brother - or should I say from sister to sister - but most of Lei Dian's kingdom was conquered by relying on her military force, and she can completely say that she obtained the Heart of God because of her own strength, so naturally, her original "algorithm" for utilizing the efficiency of thunder element is of course higher than the Heart of God, not to mention that she has recently comprehended a move that is close to "Dreams Come True".

Shen Zhigui had not shown the blessing of Lei Dianying on him before, purely because at that time he was not as good at using martial arts as his own. But now he is in Xumi City. Although the World Tree has been polluted by forbidden knowledge, the systems of the Abyss and Heavenly Principle are intertwined and infiltrated with each other, and Heavenly Principle may not be able to perceive his existence through the World Tree and find his trace, but Shen Zhigui does not want to take risks at this time, so he began to frequently use the power bestowed by Lei Dianying on Meng Xiang Yi Xin.

He also didn't expect the doctor to think in this direction.

So after a moment of silence, he tilted his head and said, "Guess?"

When the doctor saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he could no longer hold on. His body tilted and he died.

Shen Zhigui shook his head, then landed next to Tinari. Unexpectedly, Tinari immediately grabbed his shoulder and said, "Hurry! He has discovered our plan, and he will probably take action against the Little Auspicious Grass King. Take her away from Xumi City as soon as possible! Only if she is still here can we prevent the residents of Xumi City from being constantly attacked by him..."

"Oh, it seems to be too late for this."

Tinari shuddered suddenly, turned his head to look in the direction of Jingshan Palace, and a great sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

"What I meant by late is that he seems to have stuffed the Grass God's Heart into the 'God Body' he created."

"What should I do?"

Although Tinari didn't understand how Shen Zhigui could tell, he became even more anxious when he heard Shen Zhigui say that.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry--"

"Are you still talking nonsense like this at this time?"

"The Heart of the God of Grass was previously only used as a hub or server for the transfer of void devices. In this mode, it is estimated that it consumes elemental power to create computing power to coordinate, transfer, transmit and store related knowledge. So even though you have heard about the miracle of the Great Compassion Tree King creating the anti-sand wall, the Teaching Institute has been controlling the Heart of God for hundreds of years, but has not used the Heart of God to do similar things. This shows that it cannot reflect the power of large-scale modifications to the perspectives of matter and reality in this mode. The effect of this mode is only reflected in calculation or spirit," Shen Zhigui said slowly, "and if the doctor wants to use the Heart of the God of Grass to deal with me, then he must switch to another mode to control the grass element, instead of converting the grass element into computing power. Do you understand?"

Tinari hesitated for a moment. He was a rare smart man. “You mean to say that he went through so much trouble just to create a being that can move mountains and fill the sea?”

"You used the word 'just' very well," Shen Zhigui just looked at the direction of a canyon outside Xumi City and said, "I guess he should have greater ambitions, but he still has to solve the problem of going from existence to non-existence first. Not to mention that I am now at the gates of the city. He probably thinks that if I help the little auspicious grass king seize control of the void now, he will not be able to advance his plan to create a god anyway, so he hastily took away the Heart of God and created that artificial god."

At this moment, in the direction Shen Zhigui was looking, a green beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky, causing the grass elements between heaven and earth to ripple like the originally calm surface of a lake, surging layer by layer.

Chapter 116: Five Colors of Rare Light in the Sleeve (Part 2)

It must be said that although what Shen Zhigui said was indeed the doctor's reason for rushing to finish the work, the doctor was not an easy person after all. Although he had thought about what to do if Shen Zhigui came to deal with him before, he did think of using the Xumi people as human bombs and poison gas bombs, but all this was based on the premise that the Heart of the Grass God was under control. With Shen Zhigui's current performance, he could now directly find the current Grass God to temporarily seize control of the Heart of the God, and then kill or expel his slices one by one -

Although the doctor could easily involve more people in this dispute to test Shen Zhigui's bottom line.

But according to the information collected by the doctor, this person is very likely the "vengeful ghost" of Kairanki who massacred the entire Inazuma. Perhaps from this perspective, it can be said that Shen Zhigui has a very high moral bottom line. After all, he kills those who have committed numerous crimes. But the doctor knows very well that once a killer kills too many people, he will understand that human life is ultimately just a number. As long as he is used to killing, when determining the target, Shen Zhigui will not care whether the people who stop him on the road are doing it out of their own will, nor will he feel any guilt for killing those who are controlled.

Because in the final analysis, those who can't stand it had already given up at the very beginning. Those who can continue to do it to the extent of Kairanki who massacred the entire Inazuma will probably not hesitate just because innocent passers-by are affected in the process.

If the Doctor had the luxury of time, he certainly wouldn't mind making the attempt.

He had not previously thought that Shen Zhigui could be a match for all his slices combined.

But now Shen Zhigui's almost god-level control over the lightning element made him inevitably at a loss as to what to do.

Not to mention, because Shen Zhigui transferred the crazy scholars in Aru Village in advance, and the large-scale riots caused by the desert people isolated the Council of the Church from interfering in the desert, the Council of the Church certainly could not continue to send more people to track down those scholars who were suspected of going crazy due to exposure to knowledge in the realm of gods. Therefore, in order to continue to promote the deification plan, either people had to take the initiative to explore and contact the knowledge of the realm of gods and become crazy scholars, or the doctor himself had to do it.

Of course, the doctor wants to choose the former.

However, the members of the Order of the Church had already begun to become unstable because of the original internal rift. If the Doctor and the Great Sage continued to urge them to actively create mad scholars, the Great Sage would probably be left alone after people knew the truth. Although the Doctor did not think much of these people in the Order of the Church, he still needed people to continue to be responsible for the rest of the projects. Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the plan of the artificial god if he was left alone. In addition, he could split himself, and he was curious about the knowledge in the field of gods. He was more confident that he would not easily be like those mad scholars, so he chose the latter.

The Doctor certainly has the tolerance to handle knowledge from the divine realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to exchange the Heart of God from the Little Auspicious Grass King just by relying on some knowledge in the game.

Although it is not ruled out that a certain grass god is actually being fooled by someone——

However, even if the doctor could withstand the confusion brought to him by the knowledge of the divine realm, he would not be able to directly transform this knowledge into more specific application methods. Instead, because of the entrenchment of this knowledge in his field of consciousness, his brain power would be constantly consumed to deduce whether reality is consistent with this knowledge. This process is inevitable whether he is conscious or unconscious, and he cannot find a way to stop it. So he realized that if he continued like this, even if he did not go crazy now, if he could not become a god and ascend to the throne in the future, he would probably be occupied by this knowledge and his brain power would be used up for deduction, which would consume a lot of energy.

Even at this stage he was almost unable to bear it.

At this moment, Shen Zhigui seemed to have far surpassed him in the research and progress of ascending to the throne of God. Even if the young man did not use the specially created "divine body" to transfer, he could actually use the power of the Heart of God in the same way. So after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to directly snatch the Heart of God of Grass and stuff it into the divine body he created. Although he had previously felt that he did not need to personally test this path to Godhood, whether it was the burden brought by the knowledge of the divine realm, the sense of oppression brought to him by Shen Zhigui, and his coveting of Shen Zhigui's research, all made him abandon his mortal body without hesitation at this moment——

Although if you really want to say it's just a slice of the body.

But their consciousnesses are ultimately connected to each other. After he stationed a certain slice of his consciousness into the body of the artificial god and connected it to the heart of the grass god, the knowledge of the realm of gods buried deep in his memory finally found the ladder from the metaphysical realm to the physical realm, and the knowledge, authority and power contained in the heart of the grass god were constantly transferred through the body that was specially created to match the heart of the grass god, flowing into his consciousness, and complementing the knowledge of the realm of gods.

And at this moment, the Doctor finally experienced what it was like to be a god, so he should have been a little proud.

However, at this time, only the consciousness of the slice that occupied the artificial body of God felt an unprecedented sense of clarity, while the remaining slices covered their heads uncomfortably, feeling that a huge gap had formed between their consciousness and their bodies, causing the two to repel each other.

So at this time, the doctor can either cut off the connection between this slice and other slices, or...

The doctor made a prompt decision without even needing a vote among the slices created at different ages of him. Almost all of the slices unanimously chose to be reunited in that artificial divine body so that they could use this body to pursue a more essential truth in the endless years to come!

So, Shen Zhigui saw that after the green beam of light shot up into the sky, the network of "mysterious energy of life and death" that was densely distributed in Sumeru and interconnected with each other that he had originally seen in the field of vision of "Tongyou Mingtong" suddenly collapsed, and then all the nodes gathered towards the one with the brightest light. Shen Zhigui stared at the process of the light spots gathering in a daze. Although he had never thought that the doctor would actually do this on his own initiative, he quickly reacted and quickly flipped through "Penglai Sword Song" in his heart, comparing and verifying the words in it with the detailed picture that was shrinking in front of him. Finally, after the beam of light gradually subsided, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 118: He Will Repair the Northwest Sky (Part 2)

A doctor is still a doctor after all. As soon as he heard Shen Zhigui's words, he immediately realized what the young man was referring to, because one of the important responsibilities given to the Grass God by Heaven is to manage the World Tree, and he is now in the land of Xumi, so close to the World Tree. There is no reason why he, who has now completely controlled the God's Heart of the Grass God, cannot enter the World Tree to modify history.

Even though it’s only the perception of some people.

But when the doctor heard what Shen Zhigui said, he became a little angry. He had obviously become what he is now, he had obviously integrated all the slices together, and he had obviously embarked on the path to becoming a god, but did this little devil in front of him actually think that he could only deal with him in that way?

He really underestimated himself!

So the doctor wanted to crush the little devil who was blocking his way in his hands, but no matter how hard he tried, there seemed to be a transparent, indestructible barrier beside the boy. He could not cross the barrier to destroy the boy's body. Instead, the boy's body seemed to be emitting thick black air like fog, which then eroded into his body layer by layer, causing all parts and elemental forces to lose control, and even corroded to only the skeleton left, and finally even the skeleton became light as a feather!

The doctor looked at the scene in astonishment, and finally asked:

"what is this?"

Of course, he also knew from past encounters that Shen Zhigui could control a power similar to elemental force, but far more destructive than elemental force. However, he never imagined that his power was so overbearing that it could directly eliminate the control of the Heart of God!

"You seem to like asking these kinds of random questions recently," Shen Zhigui said nonchalantly, "However, since you are about to die, I will help you solve the puzzle a little. This is 'death energy', or in other words, 'the Styx'."

"Styx?"

"Legend has it that after death, people will go to another world, and when they reach that world, they will encounter a river blocking their way. The dead can only cross the river and get true liberation after completing various conditions set by the gods. Of course, that's just a legend, so for me, the so-called Styx has only one meaning, which is to announce the death of all those who have to face it!"

Shen Zhigui raised his right hand and swung it downward fiercely, and the doctor saw that the back of the thin young man's figure seemed to have opened up as if the real gate to the underworld was about to open. The "death air" flowing out was so thick that it could no longer be described as "air". It had changed from a smoke-like shape to a stream of water, and the dark tide went straight down, corroding everything it encountered in an instant, restoring it to its original essential appearance. The doctor subconsciously wanted to use the Heart of God to control the elemental forces to resist, but when those elemental forces encountered the tide, they were instead swept away by it, and continued to surge towards him even more fiercely!

“Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life.”[1]

At this time, the young man was still standing there relaxedly and said.

If it were in the past, the doctor would have been more or less interested in discussing the philosophy of life and death with him, but now he could only dodge the dark tide in an extremely embarrassing way. However, he soon realized that the essence of the tide had no practical significance at all. It was more like a phenomenon that was projected into reality by some more abstract, metaphysical existence. So no matter how he dodged, the tide would eventually spread the phenomenon it created to him. If he could not see through the essence of the phenomenon and solve it, everything he did in the real world would be meaningless.

So the doctor's attention turned to the young man who was standing there leisurely.

But he hesitated several times, and finally turned around and ran!

He didn't have any boring self-esteem, nor did he want his life to end in such a place, being killed meaninglessly on the roadside. He had to keep this body and preserve his soul so that he could continue to serve the Queen of Winter and continue to climb the path of truth. He was unwilling to be just a clown who could only do such insignificant deeds to make the boy laugh!

So he has to run!

"Oh, this is a bit bad."

But the boy moved in front of the doctor in a flash. Although the doctor could not keep up with his speed before, which led to his defeat in previous battles, the boy's speed now was completely beyond the normal level. It was as if he did not need to move at all. He directly opened a hole in the space, opened the hole where he wanted to go, walked in, and arrived the next moment.

Such means, such a speed of progress, such a person——

The doctor raised his remaining hand and smashed it towards him, but was still stopped by the man. In the stalemate, the doctor couldn't help but ask: "Are you a god now?"

"What do you think gods are?"

Shen Zhigui asked him in return.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not give a clear answer.

As the young man said, what is the definition of God?

Even he himself was not sure whether his current state was worthy of being a god.

But the young man said at this time: "However, if this can make you die with peace of mind, I am not against admitting that I am now a god, so you can die with peace of mind."

"I do not accept!"

When the doctor heard what Shen Zhigui said, he struggled even harder. However, the erosion of death energy on him had caused his body to become riddled with holes in a short period of time. He even felt that this body had begun to lose control. So when he was still controlling the God's Heart of the Grass God, he thought of the boy's previous words, and immediately wanted to forcefully open the road to the World Tree so that he could hide in it, and then modify the boy's cognition in history, and finally return to reality to kill the boy -

He thought so and was about to do so. He even saw the road leading to the World Tree suddenly open up in front of him. He was about to step into it, but his entire level of consciousness suddenly became lighter, as if his body and soul had been separated, and his soul lost weight and floated up. But he could still see what was happening in reality, so he saw that the young man took away the Heart of God in the blink of an eye, causing his divine body to lose its transfer hub in an instant, and the remaining body could no longer resist the erosion of death, and quickly turned into dust on the ground.

Note [1]: Norwegian Wood.

Chapter 119: He Will Repair the Northwest Sky (Part 2)

Although at the moment when Shen Zhigui came into contact with the Heart of God, he did sense that the magnificent elemental system belonging to the Law of Heaven had undergone a change due to the presence revealed by his previous confrontation with the doctor, not to mention that the movement of the "River Styx" he had created before had caused the presence of his martial arts system to burst out, which at that time had far exceeded the pollution brought about by the forbidden knowledge of the Abyss System. So at this moment, through the Heart of God that was like a chess piece in his hand, Shen Zhigui could also hear the higher-level roar of the elemental system like a huge bell sweeping across the entire Xumi, and then, it seemed as if countless sights were aimed at him, as if the Frost Sky Nail was about to fall in the next moment——

But Shen Zhigui just sneered, casually weighed the Heart of God in his hand, glanced at the "corpse" of the doctor on the ground that had been completely corroded by death and turned into dust, and shook his head:

In fact, to be honest, the doctor may not have integrated the consciousness of all his slices into this body. He may have left himself a way out and cut off the connection with the consciousness of a slice that is not in the Sumeru realm. However, that slice will inevitably be burdened by the knowledge he gained after "becoming a god".

However, this has nothing to do with him anymore.

Although if Shen Zhigui met the doctor on the road, he wouldn't mind giving him a ride personally.

But if he knew the current situation later, he would surely try his best to avoid Shen Zhigui's sight.

After this, the feud between Shen Zhigui and the Fatui can come to an end.

As for now, Shen Zhigui closed his eyes and immersed his mind in this piece of time and space, letting his senses and true energy penetrate into this world like mercury, but he was always tense with his spirit, true energy and body. Finally, when his spirit, true energy and body fully interfered with this piece of time and space, making the state between him and this piece of time and space become close yet omnipresent, he decisively used his previous observations of the doctor's ascension to the gods and his state after killing him, the feedback from this piece of time and space, and even the rejection of him by the elemental system, and "leaped" upwards, jumping out of the surface of the long river of time and space.

In fact, the Doctor might be able to do something similar by controlling the Heart of the Grass God and the World Tree, although he can only "go back to the past", or let people's consciousness and souls go back to the past. This is the operating mechanism of the World Tree. In a sense, it can indeed let people's consciousness and souls go back to the past, and then in that "past world" it will modify the souls and consciousness of those who cannot transcend this mechanism, resulting in only a few people such as Shen Zhigui and Ying, who came from outside the world, being able to realize the change in the world line.

Although to be honest, what the doctor did earlier was actually like copying many branches of himself, while on one side he was following the tide of the long river of time, on the other side he was preparing to connect through his slices to intercept the flow of the river; and Shen Zhigui's method of infinitely extending his perception of a certain moment was to freeze a part of this long river.

So from this perspective, Shen Zhigui doesn't necessarily need to worry about the doctor modifying his cognition after entering the World Tree, because he is also an adventer after all, and when he entered his current realm, from now on, the World Tree will no longer be able to imprint traces of his existence in it and modify his past cognition.

Of course, if the doctor planned to delete Shen Zhigui's existence from other people's memories, Shen Zhigui would definitely be very annoyed.

After all, he didn't want to get to know and develop relationships with those people he had interacted with again.

Moreover, his current methods and mentality are completely different from before, and he has no way of guaranteeing whether he can still become friends with these people as before or even have a closer relationship with them, so he wants to stop the doctor from making such changes.

At this moment, after Shen Zhigui "jumped" out of the long river of time, he saw two huge shadows in such a "horizon" that extended from the upstream of time to the "present", just like the experience he got when he first activated "The Heavens and the Underworld". The owners of the two shadows also noticed his arrival and cast cold glances at him. Shen Zhigui just smiled, and a strange atmosphere suddenly flowed among the three. But in the end, as if nothing had happened, the owners of the two shadows continued to confront each other, while Shen Zhigui was directly ignored. It was probably related to the fact that Shen Zhigui was now falling back and his perspective was falling "downward", pulling him back to the real world.

After Shen Zhigui returned to reality, he felt that the roar and turbulence of the elemental system coming from the Heart of God in his hand had subsided. Perhaps the Heavenly Principle had awakened "now", but from what He had just seen and heard, He saw that the current Shen Zhigui could not be dealt with in this way, so He stopped the elemental system's efforts. Or perhaps He was not actually awake, and the person who was in charge of the elemental system or the spontaneous mechanism of this system was unable to track Shen Zhigui after his brief disappearance along with the Heart of God, so it stopped automatically.

But all in all, Shen Zhigui no longer has to worry as much as before.

So he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Then, next is the question of the Great Compassionate Tree King..."

Although up to now, even if Heavenly Principle really wanted to delete his existence from the world's cognition and sever his "destiny", it could not completely destroy him, but he still didn't want to get to know his current friends again and redevelop their relationship. Although by that time, the contradiction and conflict between him and Heavenly Principle might have reached the point of no return, and he might not be able to take care of these at that time, but now Shen Zhigui only needs to wait until Heavenly Principle and the Abyss decide the winner. Not to mention, if he really has to choose between Heavenly Principle and the Abyss, he would rather choose Heavenly Principle——

Of course, if Heaven chooses to fight him to the death, he will of course choose to turn around and cooperate with the Abyss.

Although if it was the previous Shen Zhigui, he would not have such a choice at all. Whether it was the law of nature or the abyss, as soon as they realized that his existence could threaten them, they would probably choose to crush him to death. But now Shen Zhigui has indeed "transcended", so he has the room to choose between them.

Therefore, before it came to the point of a fight to the death with the law of nature, he had no choice but to persuade the Great Compassionate Tree King to follow his ideas.

Chapter 120: He Will Repair the Northwest Sky (Part 2)

However, after Shen Zhigui weighed the Heart of the God of Grass in his hand for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​using it as a key to open the road to the inside of the World Tree. Although it was not impossible for him to do it, and he did not even need the key. After all, the difficulty of entering the World Tree was actually lower than the difficulty of "leaping out" of the long river of time just now. The World Tree created by Heavenly Law was not so transcendent after all. However, if he did that, it would be tantamount to challenging Heavenly Law like the Abyss.

So he still needs a guide.

So Shen Zhigui took out his phone, although at this moment he felt that he was actually extremely miserable, because both Tianli and the Abyss had their own systems as their eyes and ears, and they were meticulous about everything in this world. This world was clear to them, but Shen Zhigui didn't even have the means to conduct large-scale searches until now, although before this he was purely afraid to show his presence to Tianli and so was too lazy to develop such means, because after all, if he wanted to make his search range go beyond vision and hearing, he had to expand the range of his true Qi to beyond his sight and use true Qi to replace vision. This method was not worth the effort to develop, nor was it whether his previous true Qi foundation was sufficient to support the corresponding consumption, not to mention whether he could adapt to a larger and more delicate perspective. What could he do after developing this method?

After all, for an enemy of the Doctor's level, just like before, even if they were so far away and even without that beam of light, Shen Zhigui could actually easily find him through his sense of presence.

Therefore, developing that method only made it easier for him to be a voyeur.

But now is not the time to think about these messy things.

Shen Zhigui connected with Yae Shenzi, who wanted to tease Shen Zhigui, but Shen Zhigui was too lazy to play this kind of verbal game with her and directly asked where she was. Then, the next moment, Shen Zhigui appeared near them. This was because Shen Zhigui was not familiar with this method of time travel for the time being, and was not very skilled. Seeing him suddenly appear, Yae Shenzi was also surprised: "As far as I know, the beam of light just now should be the heart of the grass god falling into the hands of the doctor, or it should be a symbol that the doctor has completed the god-making plan, right?"
