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

"Well done. You take the second team to meet up with the airship troops. When it's time to take off, I will send a signal and quickly occupy the airspace of Xumi City." Amber nodded and gave the new arrangements. Tariq nodded in response and disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 109: The Endless Flower God Birthday Festival

In front of the stage of Zubair Theater, a crowd of people gathered together. Ying and Dina Zedai and her group squeezed in with great effort and came to the front step by step. The Dance of the Flower God, the highlight of the Flower God's Birthday Festival, was about to begin. Dina Zedai's eyes were full of anticipation.

Ying also felt a sense of relief in her heart. She had just been playing with Dina Zedai in the Grand Bazaar from morning to night and had a lot of fun during that time, but she felt that she had been waiting for the Dance of the Flower Goddess for a long time.

"Strange..." Ying placed her palm against her chest, feeling her heartbeat. She inexplicably had a lingering sense of heaviness. She always felt that there should be something else at this time, but... what was it?

"Ying, what's wrong with you? The Dance of the Flower Goddess is about to begin, why are you so depressed?" Paimeng came to Ying's side, touched her forehead, his eyes full of worry.

"...It's nothing, let's get ready to watch the show." Ying shook her head when she heard that. She gestured to Paimon to be at ease. Paimon tilted his head with some confusion, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with Ying's body, he turned his gaze towards the stage.

"..." Ying was silent, and turned her gaze to the right on impulse. What caught her eye was a petite and cute girl with ink-black hair. Ying was very familiar with this girl, it was Nashida.

Nashida was also looking towards the stage, her eyes full of anticipation. Ying just looked at Nashida quietly, and she always felt an extremely strong sense of incongruity.

"...Wait!" Ying's eyes widened, realizing something was wrong. "Where's Amber? Didn't she come with us?"

This should be her first time participating in the Flower Goddess Festival and her first time experiencing such a festival, but Ying inexplicably had a feeling that Amber should be here at this time, standing with Nashida and taking the initiative to greet her.

"Hu——" Ying took a deep breath, closed her eyes, suppressed the inexplicable surging emotions in her heart, and forced herself to calm down. When she opened her eyes again, the person standing there was not Nashida, but a white-haired girl.

She was wearing clothes with white and green as the main colors, a green hairpin, and had elf-like slender ears. Her silver hair was tied into a side ponytail with the hairpin, and the ends of her hair were highlighted with light green.

What was even more incredible was that this extraordinary girl was looking at Ying quietly. Her emerald eyes were filled with loss, worry and heaviness. For no reason, a violent buzzing sounded in Ying's head.

She subconsciously clenched her teeth and lowered her head slightly, and the girl in her sight seemed to have noticed something. She uttered a few words. Ying could hardly make out the exact form of the words, but she somehow recognized that they were "I'll wait for you."

The crowd around suddenly became agitated. It turned out that Neelu walked onto the stage. The buzzing in Ying's head slowly dissipated at this time. She looked again at the place where Nashida should have been, but she could still see the silver-haired girl there. Even Nashida was gone.

"What's going on...?" Ying looked towards the stage. Nilu was bowing to the audience. Was what she saw just now an illusion? Or...

"I remember that a month ago, I sent someone to remind you not to continue this performance that blasphemes wisdom." Ying inexplicably felt a familiar voice coming into her ears. She turned her head and saw an old scholar with a white beard leading a group of people into the Grand Bazaar. Ying was sure that she had never seen him before, but the man's name and identity emerged in her mind: the great sage Azar.

The strange yet familiar scene happened again. Under the night sky, Ying and Dixia saw the fragile side of Dina Zedai, who was always gentle and strong. When Dixia took Dina Zedai back to their place and planned to leave early tomorrow morning, Ying stood under the street light and looked at the direction they left, waiting for a long time.

"Ying, let's go back first..." Paimeng was in a low mood. She whispered to ask Ying's opinion. Ying closed her eyes and shook her head after a moment.

"No, Paimon, I have a meeting that I haven't attended yet. Let's go now." After saying that, Ying turned around and hurried to somewhere in Xumi City. Seeing this, Paimon was stunned for a moment.

"What's the appointment so late? Does it have to be now?" Paimon hurriedly caught up with Ying, but Ying did not answer her question immediately. Silence spread between the two until Ying arrived at the square near the Grand Bazaar. Ying looked around, looking for the figure in her memory.

"Ying, what's going on?" Paimon came to Ying's side, gasping for breath, but Ying just signaled Paimon to be quiet.

"Traveler, you are finally here." A soft voice sounded from above. Ying and Paimon looked up and saw the figure Ying had seen before sitting on the tree branch above.

"This should be... the first time I meet you like this, right?" Nashida jumped down from the tree branch. She looked into Ying's puzzled eyes and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the Little Auspicious Grass King, the God of Wisdom of Xumi."

"......!" Ying widened her eyes, while Paimon looked confused. She had no idea what was happening in front of her.

"And you can call me by another name, the one you are more familiar with: Nashida."

"Nahida...?!" Paimon exclaimed. She flew to Nahida's side and observed her from all directions. "You...you...are you really Nahida? The Nahida next to Amber?"

"Yes, I'm sorry for keeping this secret from you for so long. What you see now is my true form," Nashida said with a hint of apology. "Time is running out. Please put aside your questions for now. I'll explain the current situation to you two."

"...Yeah." Ying nodded and agreed after hearing this. Paimon seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Ying.

"You may have already felt that everything happening before your eyes seems like something you've experienced many times before. Even though you've never met someone before, you can inexplicably remember their name the moment you see them."

Ying's eyes widened, and she said to herself, "As expected," while Paimon still looked confused.

"It seems that Ying has already sensed it, while Paimon hasn't remembered it yet. Let me tell you the conclusion directly. You, and everyone in this Xumi City where you are, are trapped in a recurring dream, reliving this day over and over again."

"..." Ying was silent. She stood there in a daze, like a statue for a moment. Paimon looked at the downtime of Ying, then raised her head to look at Nashida. The doubts in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Uh--! Can you tell me what's going on? Why can't I understand it at all!" Paimon stomped his feet angrily, and there was a hint of madness in his words. Seeing this, Nashida apologized. She was about to explain it to Paimon in more detail, but was interrupted by Ying.

"Let me explain." Ying tapped Paimon's forehead. "To put it simply, we've experienced the Flower God's Birthday Festival many times. After each one ends, it automatically returns to the beginning of the day, and we lose our memory of that day."

"Ah...?!" Paimon seemed to have heard something terrible, "Ying...you are not telling me some horror story, are you? This kind of thing...how can I prove it!"

"The proof is that when I was visiting the Grand Bazaar with Dina Zedai today, I had a strange sense of déjà vu all the time, as if I had done it many times without knowing it." Ying frowned, her eyes extremely solemn.

"Remember Yalta candy? It was part of the Flower Goddess Festival, where you could pick out different flavors of candy like opening a blind box. Paimon wanted Sunset Fruity, and I chose it right away."

"But...but this could just be good luck?" Paimon waved her hands in panic. She looked terrified.

"No, Paimon, think about it carefully. Similar things have happened several times." Ying looked into Paimon's eyes. Her firm look successfully calmed Paimon down a little. Paimon patted his chest and took several deep breaths in succession.

"It seems... it is indeed like that - but... but if it is really like that, it would be too scary!"

"The fact that you can notice this means things are getting better. I've had this dream 78 times, and in the first 50 times, you didn't notice anything wrong. It was only after that that Ying noticed something unusual, but it was too late. We never really got to the bottom of it."

"And this time, is the only time you will touch the truth." Nashida came to Ying's side, she raised her head and looked at Ying, then Nashida raised her head and looked at the sky, and then she suddenly became nervous.

"Ying, Paimon. Please listen to me carefully and remember that you are now in a dream that is constantly repeating itself."

"What's going on? Nashida, why are you so anxious?" Seeing Nashida's performance, Ying also felt something was wrong. Her words were tinged with panic, but Nashida had no time to answer her questions. She just motioned Ying to be quiet, without any pause in her words.

"This dream includes almost all the residents of Xumi City. In other words, it is a huge dream formed by the fusion of many small dreams, but it also has a 'core'. In other words, this huge dream relies on the dream of the person who is the core, and thus it can only exist." Nashida took a deep breath and continued to explain hurriedly.

"As long as you find the person at the core of the dream and make them realize they're dreaming, you'll be able to find a way to break the dream!"

"But Nashida... even after you said this, I..." Ying wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Nashida again.

"You must remember! The way to break the dream is to find the person at the core and make him realize that he is dreaming!" Nashida repeated it again. Seeing this, Ying was even more confused about the situation. She felt confused and inexplicably panicked.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress her chaotic thoughts, and wanted to say something, but a feeling of sleepiness came into Ying's ears. The sleepiness was so strong that she could not resist it at all. Only a strange sound came along with the sleepiness.

"Ding--"

Chapter 110: Showing the Fangs

Xumi City, the old home of health.

This is the site of the original Health Home before the current Health Center was established. It is occasionally used as an isolation place for emergency patients during special periods. If you need a place with certain medical conditions and enough space, there is no place more suitable than this.

At this time, some faint lights flashed from time to time in the old Health Home. They were patrols with handheld lights, confirming the physical condition of the patients. There were doctors from Xumi City among them, but most of them were more than 30 nurses temporarily transferred from the China City-State.

Incense that relieves mental fatigue is lit, and curls of smoke spread from the incense burner. These can greatly suppress the torment of recurring dreams on these weaker people, and prevent them from having any problems in the short term.

"Huh..." Amber leaned against the wall, looking at Dina Zedai who was lying quietly on the bed beside her. She was the most seriously ill among the people present. Amber had just fed her a powerful version of the magic scale disease inhibitor, which temporarily stabilized her physical condition.

Dina Zedai probably received some mental stimulation before falling asleep, which caused her mental state to become unstable. Her mental state was already unstable, and the current dream was draining her spirit, which made her body bear a huge burden. This was a bit serious for an ordinary person, not to mention someone like Dina Zedai who was suffering from the magic scale disease and had a very weak body.

"Ms. Amber, most ordinary people appear a little tired, but most patients with Demonic Scale Disease are in a relatively stable condition and are not in danger of life for the time being. Only severely ill patients like Dina Zedai are in a more troublesome situation, but with powerful inhibitors, they won't be a problem for a while." Zakaria, the doctor at Xumi City's New Health Home, walked up to Amber and explained the current situation.

He was also one of the people in Xumi City who was brought by Amber. In fact, Amber invited quite a few people in Xumi City to cooperate, but excluding those disciplinary officers, there were only about a hundred people left. Among them, about a handful of people refused to cooperate, but they did not stand on Azar's side. At best, they were watching.

"Yeah." Amber nodded after hearing that. With her eyes that could see normally at night, she looked around. At that moment, her own people outside the city had entered Xumi City one after another. They acted in an orderly manner according to the plan they had conceived early in the morning. Under the cover of night, they had approached the main roads of Xumi City.

Amber came to the Old Health Home at this time because the transportation here was relatively convenient, which made it easier for her to receive new information and respond.

"But... in a while, the condition of these patients may suddenly worsen." Some worry flashed across Zakaria's face, but Amber just waved his hand to reassure him.

Looking at the clock, it was already around four in the morning. Dawn would come in about an hour, and the night would fade away. But it didn't matter, as their preparations were almost complete.

"It's time." Amber looked up at the sky. The bright moon was already setting in the west. Up to now, the exploitation of dreams by the Order Institute had accumulated for four hours. Ordinary people had accumulated a huge amount of mental fatigue. The patients with demonic scale disease and other weak people had also accumulated a load that could not be ignored.

So, it’s time for Xumi City to see the splendor of the facilities that were prepared several months ago.

Amber habitually lowered the brim of her hat, adjusted her clothes slightly, and walked towards the roof of the old health home. The old health home has two floors, and those with more serious symptoms are located on the first floor to facilitate transfer in emergency situations.

At this time, there is a huge machine standing on the roof. It is Amber's improved rain-making device. Compared with the original one, it is slightly larger in size and has an outer shell, which makes it look much more pleasing to the eye.

Amber took out the fragments of the ocean and forest, and she opened the core compartment to load it. All the people on her side in Xumi City were ready, so it was time to start it.

"Great Sage, we have already conducted more than 600 dream cycles, and the calculation progress has reached 76.28%. It is estimated that the results will be obtained around six in the morning at the latest." In the office of the Great Sage at the highest point of the House of Commands, Setale maintained a report every fifteen minutes.

She was extremely busy during these hours, with reports every 15 minutes and long periods of high-intensity concentration, and the fatigue caused by this could not be ignored.

"Well, the momentum is very good." Hazard stared out the window, staring at the night sky in the distance. There was unconcealable excitement in his eyes, as if he saw the supreme achievement at hand.

But at this moment, something strange happened in Xumi City. Azure light spots appeared from somewhere in Xumi City. They gathered together to form a surging stream of light, floating and swaying straight up to the sky, as if building a bridge from the ground to the sky.

"——!" Azar frowned upon seeing this. He suddenly felt a strange sense of unease in his heart. Long before the plan was implemented, he knew that this would be the most vulnerable time for Xumi City, but the problem was... who would cause trouble in Xumi City?

Azar had tightened the search of the port long before, in order to guard against possible intrusions from some forces - although Azar did not believe that such forces existed, the House of Lords and even Xumi did not have many troublesome people, and there was basically nothing that others would covet.

It couldn't be the void itself, right? Something like this wouldn't be edible without a massive body.

But Hazard made a mistake. He did not anticipate Amber's secret moves. You know, Hazard has a habit of recording the daily performance of important personnel into the void, building a data model, and using the extremely powerful computing power of the void to calculate the possible actions that the target may take next. The accuracy of the void has reached an extremely high value.

Amber's actions were naturally recorded in the void, but many times she did it secretly enough, so the behavioral patterns that were eventually recorded in the void were contrary to her real purpose.

One wrong step leads to another. After the Void made a wrong judgment about Amber based on the wrong model, things like Amber's instigation of Senor to rebel were not expected. Amber asked Senor to lead the team to review the weapons and various resources sent to Xumi City in a legitimate manner. After these things were affixed with the disciplinary officer's stamp of passing the inspection by Senor, naturally no one would conduct a second review - how could Senor be partial and abuse the law in this regard?

This is one of Azar's biggest weaknesses. He trusts the Void too much. Many times he even prefers to suspect that it is his own problem rather than the Void's fault. Now that these are reflected, he simply cannot understand. If these actions before him are done by some existence with unfavorable intentions towards Xumi City, who would that existence be?

"Setale, pass down my order, have the guards immediately abandon the outside of the House of Religion, set up obstacles on the main roads inside, and concentrate their forces on patrol. No one is allowed to break in!" Azar waved his hand and gave the order. Setale responded subconsciously. While thinking about the current situation, she hurried to the elevator. When she passed the terrace, a hurried glance made Setale see a completely unexpected scene.

One, two... four... seven, nearly ten airships took off from the airship berths around Xumi City. They looked like giant beasts baring their fangs at Xumi City.

But, when exactly did it happen? When exactly did these airships arrive near Xumi City, through inspections right under the noses of the Ministry of Justice? Clearly, in order to properly execute the plan, the Ministry of Justice had recently tightened its inspections at various checkpoints.

Even in this situation, they were still able to secretly establish a plan within and even near the House of Lords... Setale suddenly felt a terrifying possibility: there were traitors within the House of Lords and Xumi City! They were colluding with certain forces, weaving an unimaginable conspiracy!

Hazard could naturally see what Setale had speculated, and there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes at this moment; at this moment, something went wrong!

Hazard punched the wall, releasing the anger in his heart along with the punch. He took a deep breath, showing the mentality that he had cultivated over the years in a high position. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and his calmness returned.

What unfolded outside the window made the atmosphere even more tense. Lights were lit up in various parts of Xumi City and on the main roads surrounding the House of Religion. They were searchlights that illuminated the night as if it were daytime. The "beam of light" with them as the source shone directly towards the House of Religion, even catching Azar's eyes.

He saw it, he saw it very clearly, on the side he just saw, there were at least more than thirty searchlights, which meant that the other party had prepared at least more than thirty checkpoints, blocking the road around the House of Religion!

Now Hazard could no longer sit still. His face was as gloomy as the thunderstorm that had covered the Inazuma Ocean. He walked out of the office quickly and gave orders to the guards around him.

Azar was well aware of the urgency of the situation, and his anxiety was not false, but when facing the guards, his words still revealed a calmness as firm as a mountain. This instantly made the somewhat panicked guards find their backbone, and they turned around and quickly went to carry out Azar's orders.

The guards began to set up obstacles and weapons in the House of the Decree according to Azar's instructions. One of Azar's trusted confidants was sent by Azar to contact Dotore. He had prepared for the worst, but when he was less than a quarter away from success, he did not want to give up.

At least, at least the plan to create a god must be completed!

Chapter 111: Rain

Misty drizzle poured down from the sky towards Xumi City. In just a moment, a light green mist filled the city. The mist had the scent of the forest, and inhaling it into the lungs made people feel relaxed, and all physical and mental fatigue was greatly relieved.

Azar, who was sitting high up in the House of Lords and keeping a close eye on the current situation in Xumi City with the Royal Guards, was puzzled by this behavior. The other party's previous high-profile invasion of Xumi City was undoubtedly an act of aggression, but why was they behaving this way now?

Out of caution, Hazard put on the filter. After the initial analysis, he conducted a second and third analysis of the fog composition. The results showed that the fog and even the rain itself can relieve people's physical and mental fatigue, and even have a significant recovery effect on some minor injuries and skin injuries.

"The purpose of this behavior..." Hazard still didn't take off the filter, he murmured in a low voice.

In the past, he could probably use the power of the void to think about the answer to this question, but now, for the sake of progress, except for the remote communication function of the void terminal, all the rest are invested in the calculation of the god-making plan. Therefore, Azar can only think about this problem by himself.

This did not take long. Azar was not stupid. The purpose of this large-scale rain with healing effects was naturally to heal many people at once. Combined with the current situation, there was only one possibility - the other party wanted to relieve the fatigue of the residents of Xumi City who were in the dream of infinite reincarnation.

This information represents a lot of things. The other party knows about the dream plan and even the deification plan, and has a deep understanding of the Church Order. At the same time, the other party has placed such personnel in Xumi City and even nearby without anyone knowing. Obviously, the other party has colluded with many people in important positions, and even holds an important position himself.

Hazard checked many candidates in his mind for a moment, but rejected them one by one. No... It was very wrong. According to Void's calculations, there shouldn't be such talents at this time!

Clerk Elhaisen may betray, but he cannot do it in a short time. In addition, the disciplinary officer Senor may also betray, but the reasons for excluding him are the same as above. The same goes for other candidates. Most of them cannot accept the existence of Hazard's behavior.

If these people were to gather together, they might be able to create a "curtain" sufficient to deceive him. But if so, who could bring them together? Could such a person really exist, and happen to be in Xumi City or even within the Order of the Lords, possessing such well-informed information, extensive connections, and even a powerful influence?

Azar was full of doubts and looked at the Xumi City outside the House of Religion with a serious expression. The airships were hovering in the Xumi City with the House of Religion as the center, forming an encirclement. The airships were equipped with searchlights, and the huge crossbows on them could be vaguely seen.

Having such weapons but not actively launching an attack, their intention to besiege is very obvious. Although the characteristics of the armed personnel on the airship are not very clear due to the night, and thus it is impossible to directly determine the force they belong to, there has been no large-scale war, which means that there is still some room for the situation to be manipulated.

"What's important right now is...how much time can I buy?" Hazard frowned, calculating in his mind.

……

"That is to say, up to now, we have been trapped in this day for who knows how many times?" In the dream city of Xumi, it was noon at this time. Ying, who had found an excuse to leave the Grand Bazaar, was standing in a small square nearby and talking with Nashida.

"That's right. You didn't notice anything at all during the first nearly fifty times. The first breakthrough was when you realized something was wrong when Nilu came on stage. You successfully reunited with me and learned the truth from me." Nashida explained. There was an inexplicable familiarity in her words, as if she had said them countless times.

"But time was too tight that time. After I told you the truth, before you could react, time restarted and you also lost your memory of that day." Mentioning this, Nashida sighed deeply.

"How could... this happen...?" Paimon's words were filled with disbelief and a hint of unease. She was stunned for a long time before speaking again, "But...but if that's the case, since the Ordinance is controlling people and restarting time based on the Void Terminal, wouldn't it be better to notify everyone to remove the Void Terminal?"

"Paimon said this before, Ying said something similar, and from what I know, you've done this quite a few times as well." Nashida looked into Paimon's eyes and slowly asked, "Then why are you still here now?"

“…” A moment of silence fell. Paimon held his forehead, looking a little dizzy, while Ying frowned, thinking about something.
