Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

Dina Zedai's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough to reach the ears of the audience nearby. The residents living in the Grand Bazaar saw each other all day long, and the atmosphere here was quite humane. At this time, everyone naturally had a unified intention to speak out. Seeing that the audience below was a little agitated, Setale coughed and raised her voice a few degrees.

"If you—if you continue to insist like this, we'll be forced to order an investigation into all organizers of the Flower Goddess Festival." Setale narrowed her eyes slightly, scanning Nilu, Sheikh, and even the audience with a sharp gaze. "The Great Sage has already shown leniency. I hope you'll show some understanding."

For a moment, the scene fell into unbearable silence again, with only Nilu's extremely lost voice remaining.

"How...how could this be..."

Seeing that he didn't need to take action and the initiative on the scene fell completely into his own hands, the great sage opened his eyes and looked at Setale with admiration. He slowly approached Nilu and Sheikh, muttering to himself: "Art...Dance..."

"In this country of wisdom and rationality, don't you feel ashamed to pursue these frivolous and empty things?" The great sage looked at the two people in front of him with a strange look. It was not anger or any similar negative emotion, but "pity", as if a superior who was high above saw his subordinates indulged in some vulgar interests in his eyes, and just felt that they were so pathetic.

"For all scholars who pursue truth, reality and truth, the gods created the paradise of Xumi City...but people like you want to defile it." When mentioning this, there was finally some resentment in Azar's eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly to suppress it.

"No, I believe that the gods have never despised art, just like the goddess of flowers once danced for our gods..." Nilu clenched her right hand lightly, touched her heart, and uttered these words from the heart. She wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Azar waving his hand.

"That's enough." Hazard shook his head, his anger turning into impatience. "Given your knowledge, I don't think you're qualified to debate with me. What you should do now is find someone to remove these ridiculous arrangements as soon as possible."

The Great Sage walked past Nilu and Sheikh and slowly walked off the stage. Seeing this, the other guards quickly gathered together and returned to the Great Sage's back.

"After we go back, ask the clerk to draft a decree prohibiting artistic performances before the next Tibetan Knowledge Day. I will then announce it to the public through the void." As they approached the exit of the Grand Bazaar, Azar instructed Setale beside him, who nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I'll prepare it when I get back."

Azar nodded. He turned around and glanced at the lost Nilu on the stage, muttering to himself, "Flower God's Birthday Festival...just celebrate the birth of the new god."

After the Great Sage left, Ying and his group hurried onto the stage. Paimon looked at Nilu with concern: "Nilu...are you okay?"

"Paimon... Ying... and Dina Zedai..." Nel's eyes were filled with unconcealable disappointment, mixed with a hint of reluctance. "Let's perform somewhere else, somewhere the Ministry of Justice can't reach. Ah... But how are we going to notify the audience? What about the atmosphere and the setting..."

"...Or, we can just find someone to stop them outside and prevent them from interrupting the performance! Um... No, in this case... they will investigate and prosecute all the organizers..." Facing Dina Zedai, Nilu tried hard to think of a turning point. Although Dina Zedai had only been here for a short time, Nilu already regarded her as a friend.

This friend had been locked up at home most of the time before, and now she finally got out. Her dream was just to participate in the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival and watch the Flower Goddess' Dance. How could she be willing to accept failure at this time and accept that her seriously ill friend's wish could not be fulfilled?

"Okay... Nilu, it's okay." Dinazedai closed her eyes and opened them again. She shook her head. "I'm already very happy that Nilu can think so much about me. If I continue now, it will implicate others. I don't want that."

"Then... in that case, next time... next time, will you have a chance to attend the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival? I will definitely make your wish come true!" Nilu's words were full of eagerness for a moment. Upon hearing this, Dinazedai hurriedly closed her eyes again. She was afraid that the worry in her eyes would be exposed.

Although she had the support of medicine, Dina Zedai still knew that her body was already terminally ill. This medicine could probably only prolong her life slightly. It was hard to say whether she could survive until the next Flower God Birthday Festival. This might be her last outing before she was taken away by the Demonic Scale Disease.

But in order not to disappoint her friend, Dina Zedai nodded and agreed.

Chapter 107: Undercurrent

The Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival, which was supposed to end in great enthusiasm, was interrupted by the arrival of the Order of the Goddess. As a result, the final Flower Goddess Dance had to come to a regrettable end, and the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival became incomplete.

Nilu was feeling lost as she put away the on-site arrangements with the members of the Zubair Theater and the audience who were willing to stay and help. Ying and Dina Zedai walked the same route for a long distance on their way back, so they walked together.

The disappointment that had been suppressed in front of Nilu was exposed at this moment. Dinazedai lowered her head and walked in silence. Seeing this, Dishia looked at Ying and Paimon. There was unstoppable worry in their eyes, but at this time they didn't know how to comfort her.

When faced with the fact that the Flower Goddess' birthday celebration, which the girl had been looking forward to all her life, was not celebrated, any words seemed too pale. Any words spoken casually would even seem frivolous and disrespectful. For a moment, an indescribable silence spread.

"Cough... cough cough cough...!" The silence was finally broken by Dinazedai's cough. She suddenly stopped and coughed violently, tears overflowing from her eyes. Her back was shaking as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

Seeing this, Dixia panicked. She hurried to Dinazedai's side and supported her body, stroking her back continuously, as if hoping to calm Dinazedai's anger. At the same time, Dixia set her sights on Ying.

"Ying! Help me! There is a magic scale disease inhibitor in the right pocket of the lady's shirt. Feed it to the lady!"

Ying took action immediately after hearing this. She quickly took out the medicine from Dinazedai's pocket, and Paimon took the water bottle handed to her by Dishia. After Dishia wiped away Dinazedai's tears with a handkerchief, Ying and Paimon cooperated to feed Dinazedai the inhibitory drug.

"Miss...you--" Dixia looked at her handkerchief, which she usually didn't want to dirty. Her eyes were full of worry for a moment. There was a trace of bright red blood on the handkerchief. It was obvious that Dina Zedai had coughed up blood just now.

"...Huh." Dina Zedai rinsed her mouth briefly, took a few deep breaths, and finally caught her breath. She shook her head at Dishia and forced a slightly stiff smile. "I'm fine, Dishia. You know, this happens all the time."

"...Has Dina Zedai's health condition deteriorated to this extent?" Ying was obviously not a fool. She also noticed the bloodstains on the handkerchief and naturally made a rough judgment of Dina Zedai's condition.

"In fact, with the inhibitory drugs, it has gotten much better." Dina Zedai shook her head and said this again. Seeing this, Ying looked away with some reluctance. Others might not know, but how could she not know as she was close to Amber.

The Demon Scale Disease Inhibitor only greatly slowed down the progression of the Demon Scale Disease. For patients with milder symptoms, continued medication could even prevent the disease from worsening. However, Dina Zedai's condition... was clearly not in that category.

"I'm sorry, Dixia. I remember you said this handkerchief was given to you by a friend named Candice, right?" Dina Zedai grabbed a corner of the handkerchief and took it from Dixia. "Can you give it to me temporarily? I'll clean up the blood and return it to you."

"...Miss." Dixia closed her eyes as if to suppress something. She sighed deeply, "Candice and I are very familiar with each other. At worst, I can ask her to give me another one. But your body..."

"I'm fine, Dixia." Dina Zedai stopped Dixia from speaking. She broke away from Dixia's support and took a moment to stand. "I also promised Nilu that I would attend the next Flower Goddess Festival. Before that, I have to take care of my body."

Dina Zedai raised her head slightly and looked at the space. The sky was very good tonight. The moon was big and round, and together with the shining stars, it formed a sea of ​​light. The light was so soft and the night view was so attractive, as if it was designed to coincide with the birthday of the flower goddess. It was so beautiful.

"...Today would have been a pretty perfect Flower Goddess Birthday Festival, even though it lacked floats and other elements." Under the silent and gorgeous night sky, Dina Zedai finally couldn't hold back the surging emotions in her heart and revealed her regrets. Once these emotions were revealed, it was like a rolling stone from a mountain, and she could no longer suppress them.

"Dina Zedai..." Ying and Paimon's words were full of worry, and so was Dishia, but they tacitly agreed not to disturb her, as Dina Zedai also needed to vent a little.

"... Obviously...I finally got a chance to leave the house. It was clearly because my body was about to collapse that I got this chance to leave the house..." Dinazedai's words trembled. She lowered her head, and after a while, some suppressed crying sounds were heard.

"..." Ying closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Because of Dinazedai's previous situation, she guessed that perhaps it was because Dinazedai's life was about to end due to the magic scale disease that his family allowed her to leave home. But when these were confirmed by Dinazedai, Ying still had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

"Dixia... Ying... and Paimon..." Dina Zedai's voice was filled with tears. "I'm so scared... I'm scared that I won't see Nilu's Flower God Dance - I'm scared that I will die without witnessing the complete Flower God Festival."

"Miss..." Dixia is a mercenary, but she is unexpectedly loyal and righteous. Most of the Blazing Hunters she is with are also like this. Therefore, when facing such a Dina Zedai, Dixia can also feel the regret and sadness of the person in front of her.

This scene made several people at a loss as to how to react for a moment. For a moment, the empty street was filled with only Dina Zedai's low crying sound.

The crying lasted for a very long time, until Dinazedai was a little out of breath and stopped. Dixia hurriedly fed Dinazedai some water to help her breathe, and only then did Dinazedai calm down a little.

"I'm sorry... huh..." Dina Zedai tried to calm herself down, "I let you see how vulnerable I am."

"...It's okay, Dina Zedai." Faced with Dina Zedai's words, Ying couldn't think of how to respond, and could only say something that seemed inappropriate.

"Dixia... shall we go back to Humayi's house tomorrow?" Dina Zedai looked at Dixia, a hint of pleading in her eyes. "Let's leave early tomorrow morning."

"Miss..." Dixia looked into Dina Zedai's eyes, those eyes that had radiated unprecedented brilliance since they came to Xumi City and entered the Grand Bazaar. At this moment, they revealed a fragility that was different from any previous moment. For a moment, Dixia inexplicably felt that she had seen through Dina Zedai's thoughts.

——She was afraid. She was afraid that after seeing her like this, Nilu would be disappointed that she could not fulfill Dina Zedai's wish today and that she would never have the chance to fulfill Dina Zedai's last wish in the future.

"...Okay, we'll go back early tomorrow morning!" Dixia nodded in agreement. She turned to look at Ying, "Ying, please tell Nilu and everyone else that something unexpected happened at Humayi's house and the young lady has to go back. She will take good care of herself and come back for the appointment!"

"...Yeah." Ying lowered her head slightly and responded dully. She naturally saw all of this and couldn't be happy at this moment.

Dishia took Dina Zedai to the hotel where they were staying. Ying and Paimon stood there and looked at the two of them for a long time, until their backs disappeared in the night and until the moon moved a lot to the west.

It was almost midnight when Ying and Paimeng rushed back to the hotel. They simply washed their faces and lay down on the bed. Neither of them spoke a word, and they stared at the ceiling in silence.

Today will probably be a sleepless night, Ying thought so. She blinked her eyes, but in an instant she felt an irresistible sleepiness.

The unexpected sleep came so quickly that Ying fell into a deep dream before she even noticed anything was wrong. The same thing happened in various places in Xumi City.

And at the highest point of the House of Decrees, in the office of the Great Sage, Azar stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, overlooking the Sumeru City outside the window immersed in the night.

"Great Sage, the plan has officially been implemented and is progressing smoothly. There are only a few rejection reactions, and these rejection reactions have been dealt with by dedicated personnel!" Setale came behind Azar and reported respectfully. Azar nodded with satisfaction.

"I hope that little girl feels enough regret for not being able to complete the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival... That way, we can safely stabilize this largest collective dream." Hazard gently stroked his beard. "Haha, I was overthinking it. There's no way this will go wrong."

"Setare." Azar turned around. "During this critical period, you must work closely with the Dream Management Team. At the same time, convey my instructions to the technicians to increase the power to 1000 times!"

Setare's eyes widened. A thousand times? What did that mean? It meant the flow between dreams and reality would be slowed down a thousand times. For every hour that passed outside, a full thousand hours would pass in the dream. The Great Sage was probably going to go all out this time, calculating the correct answer at full power.

"Yes!" Setale nodded in agreement. She had finally come to this point, and she must not fail before the Lord God conveyed new instructions to her.

"Very good." Hazard turned around and looked out the window again. "Go down and execute it."

While things were turbulent in the House of the Lord, there were also a series of disturbances in Amber's home. When Cole and Aji were asleep and before the plan started, Amber removed the void terminal, so none of them entered the dream state.

"Huh..." Amber was fully armed, which was rare for her. She wore a black coat, arm guards, a dagger, and other weapons.

"Amber..." Nashida sat on the bed behind Amber. She watched Amber's movements and also put the void terminal on herself. "Be careful."

"Well, Nashida, please take care of me in the dream. As for those patients with magic scales and other people who are unwell, just leave them to me. I will not let them die at this time." Amber gave the answer. Nashida felt relieved after hearing that. She waved to Amber and kissed her when Amber came closer. After this light kiss, Nashida lay down on the bed, connected to the void and put her consciousness into it.

"Huh..." Amber took a deep breath and covered Nashida with a blanket. When explaining this to Nashida, Amber did not say directly that she had known about this for a long time and could have stopped it before it happened - you must know that Nashida was a gentle god, she would certainly not agree with Amber's plan to help Nashida quickly win the trust of the Xumi people.

This gentleness is what attracted Amber, but this gentleness is not good for the overall situation. Therefore, Amber explained that after knowing all this, she could not stop the House of Lords and could only take some measures to avoid casualties.

However, in response to Nashida's concern and worry for the residents of Xumi City who are currently caught up in the plan of the Order and will have to take huge risks and have an unprecedented long dream, Amber will do her best to ensure that none of them will die.

With this thought in mind, Amber walked out of her residence.

Chapter 108: Action

Today in Xumi City, the night is quiet. Although Xumi City's nightlife is not as rich as Liyue Harbor, there is no curfew. Therefore, even late at night, there are still some pedestrians on the main roads, but today is an exception.

Tonight seemed like a customary day. In the huge Xumi City, there was not a single pedestrian on the streets, and even the lights of the street lamps seemed much colder at this time.

"Lord Messenger of God." Ashanti, dressed in black, jumped down from the roof and landed on the lawn with almost no sound. She lifted her invisibility and came to Amber who was leaning against the wall.

"Have the people from the Ministry of Education withdrawn?" Amber put away the information and asked Ashanti, who nodded.

"After finishing their work, the guards returned to the Ordinance. This time, most people in Xumi City are trapped in a dream, so the Ordinance only has enough personnel to guard the interior. Now should be the best opportunity."

Amber nodded after hearing this. She looked towards the edge of Xumi City and asked again, "Where are the disciplinary officers?"

"Seno is ready. He has brought nearly a hundred discipline officers to the north side of Xumi City, which is the exit of the secret passage into Xumi City. He is awaiting your arrival."

"Yes." Amber put away the information and looked up at the sky. Tonight was a beautiful starry sky, which added a bit of romance to tonight's operation. "Ashanti, you go to the entrance of the secret passage outside the city to pick up our people and lead them into the city."

"Yes!" Ashanti nodded in response, and her body faded to transparent again, and Amber also took action. She quickly passed through the alleys and rushed to the north side of Xumi City via the shortest route.

This is the location of the Chi Nian Foundation. In order to store the Mora donated as charity funds, the foundation placed the storage location underground. As a result, there is a huge space belonging to the foundation underground. Due to Ingel's kindness, basically no one comes to search this space.

At this time, it has become a dark place under the light, and has become the best gathering place for amber to hide a large number of people.

Amber has collected enough evidence about the crimes of the Great Sage and his group, including evidence of this dream plan. When this dream is over, she will have nothing to worry about and can do something with ease.

Azar is a tough enemy, and Xumi City is undoubtedly the territory of the Order of the Lords, and the Order of the Lords is under the control of Azar. In other words, Azar is the controller of Xumi City. It has always been difficult to defeat Azar in Xumi City.

If they want to outsmart him, Hazard is not a fool. The entire Xumi City is equivalent to an extension of his palm, and his tentacles are everywhere. This is equivalent to defeating Hazard within the rules set by Hazard, which is naturally not easy.

And if they stormed - it must be stated that Xumi City has never been a place with weak military power. The average quality of the thirty-man guards is very good, not to mention the brave disciplinary officers. In addition, the Order Academy is the top academy in the seven countries, and the "knowledge" it possesses is extremely terrifying. If necessary, this knowledge can be converted into "power" at any time.

What Xumi lacks compared to other countries is probably just a powerful god who can serve as the ultimate weapon.

But these gaps appeared at this time. In order to achieve the common ambition of those generations of great sages and to climb that tragic peak, Azar resolutely started the dream plan tonight, turning on the power of the void to the maximum, in order to squeeze the brains of the residents of Xumi City and integrate their wisdom to find the only solution.

He imprisoned all residents wearing void terminals in dreams, making them repeat the experience of the Flower Goddess's birthday in their dreams.

This has instead created the current moment, which is undoubtedly the most vulnerable time for Xumi City. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the plan, most of the disciplinary officers and the thirty-man group knew nothing about it. They were even imprisoned in dreams. The only remaining armed personnel in Azar's hands gathered in the House of Religion, which was equivalent to him retracting his tentacles into the House of Religion.

If you want to win by force, to overthrow Hazard from the outside to avoid any new troubles, then tonight will be the only chance.

"Lord God's Messenger." When Amber arrived at the foundation, Geller was sitting in the hall waiting. The years had left some marks on his body, making his figure a little hunched. "Grand Disciplinary Officer Senor is waiting for you downstairs."

Gler was one of the partners that Amber had won over. After learning about the presumptuous behavior of Azar and his group, he stood on Amber's side and provided a venue for Amber's plan.

"I remember that Azar and you were classmates?" Amber nodded to Geller as a greeting. "I'm sorry that you betrayed your former best classmate like this."

"That's all right..." Gele waved his hand. He closed his eyes slightly, wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes. "I know exactly what Azar did. Imprisoning the Little Auspicious Grass King... Imprisoning the God of Wisdom of Xumi. This is absolutely unforgivable."

"He wasn't like this when we were classmates. Perhaps it was his competitive spirit and curiosity that were inflated to the limit that led him to this situation, making him only see the achievement of creating a god and ignore everything else." Gler tapped the ground lightly with his crutch, and he opened his eyes, full of determination.

"So, Lord God's Messenger, please do what you want. Azar must recognize the sins he has committed and pay the price for them."

"I will." Amber lowered the brim of her hat slightly, nodded, and walked slowly towards the basement of the foundation.

Nearly a hundred disciplinary officers gathered in the basement, some of them angry and some worried - these people had their void terminals removed by Sero in advance and were informed of Azar's crimes a few hours ago. Most of them, like Sero, had a pursuit of religious orders and even justice, so when facing Azar's crimes, their performance was extremely similar.

"Amber, you are finally here." Seno held a golden spear in his hand and wore the uniform of the Grand Disciplinary Officer. In the past, because the uniform was too recognizable and too easy to reveal his identity, he rarely actually wore it in action, but tonight he obviously didn't need to consider these things.

"I'm ready. What do you need me to do?" Singh was also wearing the uniform of a disciplinary officer. After receiving the news from Seno, he rushed back from Kawanyi just to support Seno and Amber's decision.

Amber didn't speak immediately. She nodded to the two of them as a greeting, then clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I believe you've all heard my story to some extent and are aware of my existence, so I won't introduce myself at this moment." Amber looked at the disciplinary officers present one by one. "Also, I don't want to engage in excessive small talk. I'll briefly explain the situation and ask you to do something. I hope you won't refuse."

Most people present knew what was happening, so no one interrupted. Amber gathered her words briefly before speaking again, "In Xumi, there's a rumor that dreams are a sign of immaturity, and a mature, intelligent being wouldn't dream."

"This rumor originated from the Ministry of Education and has deeply penetrated the hearts of the people of Xumi. As a result, not dreaming has become something they are accustomed to. Even if someone occasionally dreams, they will only regard it as a shameful thing and bury it deep in their hearts."

"But..." Amber placed a finger deep inside her, her voice rising slightly. "But this is a lie told by the House of Lords. It's not that the Xumi people don't dream, but their dreams have been taken away. Those wearing Void Terminals will have their dreams summoned by the Great Sages while they sleep, using their collective wisdom to find answers to certain questions."

"..." The disciplinary officers present did not speak. They had all seen the evidence in Seno's hands and knew what was going on. Most of the disciplinary officers felt as if a fire was burning in their hearts when faced with such behavior.

"Under normal circumstances, the harm would be minimal, but tonight, the Great Sage and his companions have increased the power of the void to an unknown number of times its usual level. This will place an unimaginable burden on those whose dreams have been taken away. Normal people are better off, as their bodies are strong enough. At most, they will be weakened for a while after the event."

"But... what about those patients with demonic scale disease? What about those with weak bodies? Will they die?" Amber's tone became serious, and his words made many disciplinary officers nervous. They could naturally understand that based on the current situation, the possibility of this consequence was very high.

"This is the task I'm going to assign to you. I've already compiled and divided the list of eligible individuals in Xumi City. I need you to bring those who meet the requirements from the inner and outer areas to the old Health Home on the west side of the Foundation. There's plenty of space there for them to stay. I've already arranged for professionals to take care of their health."

"The inner layer—that is, the area near the Ministry of Justice—will be handled by my people. Remember not to remove their Void Terminals during the transfer. When the Ministry of Justice initiates this plan, removing the Void Terminals midway has a high probability of causing irreversible damage. Remember this."

Amber repeatedly emphasized the taboos during the transfer, and then handed the list and specific action arrangements to Seno and Singh. After the two agreed, they led their men out of the basement, and the disciplinary officers quickly dispersed into Xumi City.

The basement became empty as the discipline officers left. Amber leaned against the wall and waited. It was almost three in the morning, and judging by the time, they should have arrived.

"Lord God's Messenger." Tariq lifted his invisibility, half-knelt on the ground, saluted Amber, and reported, "A total of 600 people hidden in the ruins outside the city are ready and heading here. The airship force is also ready and can take off at any time."
