After saying this, the darkness in the great sage's eyes began to gradually spread, and some black lines gradually appeared around his eye sockets, making him become more impetuous.

During this time, he has had people renovate the relevant parts of Jingshan Palace. It is estimated that it will only take a few days for him to extract divine power from the little grass god and create a new god.

But he still felt that it was not fast enough. The terrible mentality of being destroyed was like a sharp knife across his neck, constantly urging him to do things to strengthen his strength and ensure that he would not be destroyed.

"Hiss... My head hurts, I can't do this, that feeling is just an illusion, I have to take a rest..."

The great sage covered his head, his reason telling him that his current state was nothing more than an unbalanced mentality caused by the influence of that illusion.

But his emotions and instincts told him that he had to resolve the crisis of survival.

Reason is indeed useful at times and can guide all aspects of human life.

But unfortunately, compared to the part of the brain that is generated last and is responsible for reason and logic, the part of the human brain that is responsible for animality and instinct is more powerful.

Civilization has existed for such a short time, how can it compete with the beast brain that has lasted for tens of millions of years and is responsible for instinct and intuition.

Therefore, his rationality was quickly being destroyed by his emotions.

"No... I need to use other information to offset this desire for destruction. Ah, isn't Liyue's Geogod going to hold a discussion meeting? I'll just go and join in the fun."

"Everyone is living well. This state can dilute the desire for destruction in my heart."

The great sage made a hoarse sound, with the corners of his mouth curled up at a ferocious angle.

If this great sage had seen Batman, he would probably know that his smile is almost as intimidating and scary as that of the Joker.

Soon, under the acceleration of the great sage, the discussion meeting started almost on the next day.

“This time, we will demonstrate our respective methods of building the Liyue version of the Void Terminal and select the best one. The judge will be the inventor master from Liyue—Xianyun!”

"In addition to Miss Xianyun, our respected Great Sage is also here. He takes this matter very seriously and hopes that everyone can perfectly explain their ideas."

The discussion meeting began in the huge conference hall.

Bai Zhi looked at the Great Sage with some concern, not because of the excessive things this guy did in the game, but because she felt a familiar aura from this guy.

That is... the smell of destruction, which is very strong on the virtual soldiers, making people feel two opposing states of explosion and annihilation.

But compared with the virtual soldiers, the flavor of the great sage is not that strong.

But judging from the black lines on his eye sockets that couldn't even be covered by makeup, this guy was most likely really affected by the destruction and was in a slightly insane state.

This state is recorded in Xianzhou's textbooks.

On a planet invaded by the antimatter army, qualified life forms may be transformed into virtual soldiers by the army.

The transformation of the virtual soldiers is actually similar to the zombie virus in Resident Evil.

A healthy life, inspired by the will of destruction, will implant that belief in its heart, and will then automatically attract imaginary energy and gradually transform into a virtual soldier.

"Hmm... I learned that the Star God's stroke actually has such an effect. If someone with no eyes tries to invade my brain in the future, I will show that stroke to them."

Bai Zhi thought with some pleasure.

As for the life or death of the great sage? She didn't care. Although this guy might be because the continent of Teyvat was not like the Star Iron Universe, where it could easily absorb a large amount of imaginary energy, the conversion speed was not fast.

But in the end, there is no escape from death.

And when the speed slows down, it will make people feel more tortured.

"Huff, huff, huff... What nonsense are these guys talking about? It's so stupid. The arguments they wrote are not even one ten-thousandth as good as mine. Such idiots are just a waste of food and money living in the world. It's a disgrace to me to live in the same world with them!"

The great sage stared and gasped heavily at the scholars who kept coming up to the stage to expound their ideas.

"Mr. Great Sage, are you okay?"

Seeing the great sage's abnormality, Bai Zhi, who was sitting in the seat next to him, smiled and asked with interest.

"It's okay... Lord Yanshen, I just didn't get enough rest recently, and I'm a little disappointed with our scholars."

The great sage faced Bai Zhi and forced an ugly smile.

"I see. Well, I understand what the Great Sage is thinking. After all, human power is always limited. Speaking of which, in addition to Liyue's Void Terminal project, I actually have another project that I would like to ask many scholars for a plan. Do you think it's okay, Great Sage?"

"Of course, no problem. Lord Iwagami, you can speak freely. As scholars, we are always committed to solving problems."

Having said that, the great sage knocked on the table to draw everyone's attention.

"Everyone stop for a moment. Our distinguished guest has other questions for us."

After finishing speaking, the great sage forced a smile and gestured to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi naturally followed suit. After clearing her throat, she said, "I've heard that the scholars at the Xumi Teachings Academy are very knowledgeable. I recently met a little girl whose demonic scale disease I felt deeply saddened by. So I hope to find a cure here."

"I don't know. Do the scholars of the Faithful Court, who have gathered all the wisdom of mankind, have any solution?"

142 Why not ask God for help?

"Why...are you suddenly talking about Demon Scale Disease?"

Many scholars looked at each other in bewilderment; they were merely there to compete for the project funding.

Many scholars looked at the great sage with some confusion, hoping that he could come forward and explain the situation.

The great sage was also a little confused. Why did they suddenly talk about the demonic scale disease? The Rock God of Liyue suddenly paid attention to Xumi's special illness. Was there something wrong?

Fortunately, his IQ was still online. He immediately stood up from his seat and pressed his hands down, "Everyone, don't worry. Our distinguished guest may be kind-hearted, so he wants to cure the magic scale disease, which is worth encouraging."

"Haha, Your Excellency the Great Sage is right. Just like I said before, what I want to do is to heal a little girl in Xumi. But at the same time, I also want to select some people who can meet my requirements in the Xumi Ordinance Institute."

"These people need to have sufficient experience in drug manufacturing and research and development. I suddenly proposed this because I wanted to use the magic scale disease as an introduction to screen out suitable talents. After all, if the magic scale disease can be cured, other diseases should be easy to cure as well."

Bai Zhi knocked on the table and spoke calmly. These words made the people present breathe a sigh of relief. So this is what he meant. They thought the original Liyue version of the Void Terminal project was going to fail.

This new project is naturally welcomed by everyone.

"Hmm...is this really her only purpose?"

Elhaisen in the audience touched his chin, thinking about something. From the first moment he met these people, he felt that they were weird. Even if they were official personnel, they wouldn't squander money like this. Moreover, they seemed to do whatever they wanted, very casually.

"Excuse me, what are your identities?"

Elhaisen thought about it and decided not to guess anymore, but to ask Zhongli and his group directly.

"We came here to accompany the Emperor... Oops, that's bad, I said the wrong thing!!"

Just after Paimon opened his mouth for a few words, Yingmei reached out and covered little Paimon's mouth. Paimon seemed to realize something and that he had just leaked his identity.

Little Paimeng looked at Zhongli and Xianyun helplessly.

"It doesn't matter... Since Lord Elhaisen is the secretary of the Court of Religious Orders, he will know this information sooner or later."

Zhongli shook his head and said with amusement that he had already seen that Baizhi wanted to recruit Elhaisen, the clerk of the Church Order Institute, so instead of hiding it, it would be better to admit it openly.

Moreover, based on his many years of observation, this Elhaisen should indeed be a man who can get things done.

"Emperor?!" Even Elhaisen, when he heard this word, doubted whether he had heard it wrong. He turned his neck and looked at Bai Zhi who was sitting on the judges' panel. He felt that this image was hard to match with the majestic appearance he saw in the book.

He even began to wonder if Zhongli and the others were joking.

"The emperor you are talking about is the Rock King Emperor, not some other unknown emperor, right?"

"Of course. Could it be that Liyue has a second emperor?"

Xianyun's words made Zhongli smile helplessly, and then nodded, "Yes, could there be a second emperor in Liyue? Miss Baizhi, that's the Rock King emperor you were thinking of."

"The Emperor personally recruited you. Are you honored?"

Paimon flew to Elhaisen and teased him with a grin.

"Of course. The fact that the Emperor personally recruited me shows that my talent has been recognized by the gods. I feel very honored for this. However, this is also because I already have such strength. If I didn't have such strength, the Emperor would not have tried to recruit me."

"This is just proof that I'm strong."

Paimon was completely confused by Elhaisen's words. Does this guy know how to be humble? When faced with such praise, a normal person would usually respond with words like "No, no, that's too flattering."

This guy, on the other hand, admitted it outright and acted so cocky.

"But... the Emperor came to Xumi and did so many twists and turns. What exactly did he want to do?"

Elhaisen looked at Bai Zhi on the judges' panel with expectant eyes. He had long been dissatisfied with the atmosphere of the Academy of Teachings over the years, but the Grass God was young and there were many factions, so it was basically impossible to make changes.

Unless there is a strong enough external force to break this cycle.

Obviously, as the oldest god in the records, the Rock God is the external force that is powerful enough.

If Bai Zhi could really change the current atmosphere in Xumi, he really wouldn't mind doing something. Designing Liyue's void terminal is a bit difficult, but for him, it is not impossible.

Under Elhaisen's expectant gaze, Bai Zhi looked around at everyone and then spoke.

"Dear scholars, don't you have a way to cure the demon scale disease?"

"This...is a guest from Liyue. This demonic scale disease has been bothering us for a long time. If we had a solution, we would have taken it out long ago."

"Yes, even Tinari, who is the most knowledgeable among our new generation, can only alleviate the symptoms slightly, but a cure is a long way off."

"It's more of a curse than a disease. There's nothing we can do about it."

The scholars talked about it at once, but to sum it up, they had one thing in mind: they were powerless against the demonic scale disease.

Seeing the scholars' reactions, Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted to see.

"Then why don't you ask God's wisdom for something that even the scholars of the Ministry of Education, the pinnacle of human wisdom, can't solve? For example, ask the Little Auspicious Grass King."

Bai Zhi said this very naturally.

As soon as these words came out, the great sage Azar's face changed. He quickly said, "Dear guest, the little auspicious grass king is still young. How can he solve such a difficult problem? What the grass king needs now is more adequate guidance."

"Hmm... Mr. Great Sage, do you not have enough confidence in the gods? Moreover, as far as I know, it has been more than 500 years since the birth of the little Lucky Grass King. Even if he needs to be taught, 500 years is enough time for him to learn a lot of knowledge, right?"

"Ordinary humans rarely live more than 500 years. These years are enough for Little Auspicious Grass King to grow into a qualified god."

143 Baizhi's fatal blow to the great sage

"this...."

After Bai Zhi said this, the great sage Azar was suddenly stuck.

Other scholars also began to discuss the issue.

Yes, although many times people say that the Grass God is still young and cannot rule Mount Sumeru, and the Ministry of Education is also teaching this new god, but now think about it, with 500 years of teaching, and as a god, his knowledge must exceed that of most people here.

Such a long period of time is enough for an intelligent life to grow sufficiently.

"Your Excellency the Great Sage, how about we go and ask the Little Auspicious Grass King?"

A scholar hesitated for a moment and asked the great sage.

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the people immediately started talking, constantly petitioning the great sage.

For most scholars, they did not know that the Little Auspicious Grass King was imprisoned by the great sage. It was just that this god was rarely mentioned. So in normal times, when they encountered difficulties, they would not think about seeking the wisdom of the gods, but would look for solutions on the void terminal.

But faced with a problem that currently has no solution, looking for a solution on the void terminal will certainly not work, so it is only natural to seek the wisdom of the gods.

"What's wrong? Your Excellency the Great Sage, do you think there is anything wrong with this? As the god of Xumi, it is normal for the Little Auspicious Grass King to use his wisdom to solve the disease."

Looking at the great sage who was obviously becoming more and more irritable, Bai Zhi smiled. She wanted to see how this guy would respond this time.

"Little Jixiang Grass King is still too young. It is better not to trouble her with such an important task."

The great sage was silent for a long time before he uttered such meaningless and unconvincing words.

"Oh? But the ability to solve problems cannot be developed by working in isolation."

"Could it be that, Little King of Auspicious Grass, you have some unspeakable secret that cannot be revealed?"

Bai Zhi's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the great sage's heart. Coupled with the will of destruction that had been affecting him, the great sage suddenly exploded.

"If you can't come out, you can't come out. What else can you do? What's 500 years? For gods, it's just a snap of a finger. And if you want gods to solve human affairs, it will only make you look incompetent!!"

Seeing the great sage who was obviously in an abnormal state, the scholars around him also had strange looks in their eyes. They were not stupid, and stupid people could not become leaders in a certain discipline. These scholars were very clear about some of the unspoken rules and tricks of Xumi.

No one would agree that human affairs must be resolved by humans.

Just kidding, if you can ask for a better way, even if you don’t copy it, it will be a very good reference answer.
