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

So-called fairness, so-called justice—is this really something a Sand People like me can get? Singer couldn't help but wonder. He still felt those words were unrealistic, but the determination in the white-haired young man's eyes didn't seem fake.

Well, let him witness with his own eyes the "fairness" and "justice" spoken by the so-called Sino Disciplinary Officer; a hint of determination flashed in Singh's eyes.

He suddenly wasn't in a hurry to die anymore. He wanted to witness everything - as a man of the sand.

……

"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side~"

Amber stood at the intersection leading to the sand wall, watching the three people's backs getting farther and farther away. A Luo's body had not fully recovered yet, so he stood here for a while and was pulled back by Masala. For a while, only A Ji and Amber were left.

Aji saw Amber's melancholy. This was how most humans felt when facing separation. As a historian, Aji was very familiar with this. Perhaps, compared with the other town spirits, she was the one who looked most like a human.

She sat on Amber's shoulders, dangling her feet and speaking comforting words.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Aji." Amber rubbed Aji's head, turned around and walked towards the clan. The road where she was previously was also surrounded by grass and trees, which was part of the plan.

Amber seemed to be lost in thought, and Aji was not surprised by this. Perhaps busy people are always like this.

"Thinking about your plan of 'bringing advanced knowledge back to the desert'?" Aji stretched his body and asked. This was also a common way of getting along between a person and a town spirit. They would talk about Amber's current plans, and Aji would listen and evaluate as a listener.

"Yes, I really can't accomplish everything by myself. It would be wiser to send a group of people to study at the Magisterium and let them bring advanced knowledge back to the desert."

"It's good that you have this awareness - I originally thought that you really regarded yourself as a messenger of God. You think you can do anything, but you will suffer a great loss." Ah Ji hummed with some complacency. This plan was originally proposed by her. This did remind Amber. She had this plan before but almost forgot because she was too busy recently. Naturally, the sooner this kind of thing is done, the better.

"Haha, I naturally have a clear understanding of my abilities. The title of God's Messenger is just an empty title." Amber chuckled. Her plan had been basically established long ago, and she knew very well her position in it.

"This can be considered a first. The Order House never had such large numbers of Sand People sent there to study before." Amber looked up at the sky. The sun was so dazzling in the desert. There was almost no water participating in the water cycle, so naturally there wouldn't be many clouds. Without clouds, it would not rain easily.

"Based on what happened to A Luo and Singh, the conflict between the people of the sand and the people of the forest is quite deep, right? I feel like this group of people of the sand is destined to have a hard time." A Ji thought and evaluated at the same time. This was probably the biggest problem in this plan.

"There's nothing we can do." Amber sighed. "The conflict between the Sand People and the Forest People has been going on for a long time. They are so entangled with each other that it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong."

"But if we retreat because of this, we will never catch up with the forest. If the Sand People want to connect with 'civilization', they must bear these responsibilities."

"Indeed..." Ah Ji agreed with Amber's words. The two talked as they walked and soon arrived at the library. There were fewer people in the library now. Those people were either going hunting or continuing to steadily advance Amber's windbreak and sand fixation plan. Now there were only some children left. Most of them did not disappoint Amber and showed great motivation when faced with the opportunity to learn.

Seeing Amber's arrival, the children all looked at her with natural closeness and affection in their eyes. Gabriel, who was sitting next to little Jade and reading fairy tales to the children, also raised his head. He seemed to be making up for neglecting little Jade in the past few days. He had never had such an opportunity to come into contact with knowledge before, and he was dazzled for a moment. In addition, he was really busy in the past few days, which led to such a big mistake.

Now that the entire clan is aware of the rules within the library, his work has naturally become much smoother, and he has finally had some free time.

"Sister God's Messenger!" Such names are heard one after another by the children. These children are of different ages, but basically none of them are over 12 years old. Most of those over 12 years old have already participated in the work of preventing wind and sand fixation. The remaining children under 12 years old still retain some characteristics of children - for example, they just think that the title of "God's Messenger" is fun, and not many children know the meaning behind it.

"Okay, okay~" Amber's words seemed very gentle at this time. She touched the children's heads one by one until it was little Jade's turn at last. It was not that little Jade didn't want to, but because of the subtle shyness in her heart, she couldn't go over like the other children.

"Little Luna, you have been very good today. This is a reward for you." Amber took out a date palm candy from her pocket and placed it in the palm of little Jade's hand.

"Sister Divine Messenger! I was very good today!" Seeing that little Jade got the reward, the other children also asked for candy. This kind of date palm candy, which is a bit too sweet, is not very popular with adults, but it suits the taste of children very well. Amber always carries some with her in order to replenish sugar in time.

"Okay, okay, I'll give them all." Amber always found it hard to refuse the requests of such well-behaved children. She took out all the candies in her pocket. Thanks to the fact that there were not many children here, there was still some candies left after giving each of them one. Amber simply gave one each to Aji and Gabriel.

"Hmm~" Aji accepted the candy calmly. She liked sweets very much, while Gabriel's expression was a little subtle. Amber made him look like a child.

"Okay, I have something to talk to your Uncle Hepiter about this time, so please give your sister some space."

Following Amber's words, the children dispersed in a swarm, except for little Jade who remained sitting in her seat.

Chapter 43: Pursue Wisdom, Gabriel

Amber glanced at little Jade. Little Jade seemed to sense that the atmosphere was wrong. She tugged at the corner of Gabriel's clothes and was reluctant to let go. Gabriel also seemed to sense something.

"Gabriel." Amber took a deep breath and told her what she was thinking: "Do you... want to study at the Order Academy?"

There were only three people and one Zhen Ling present, so Amber simply stopped calling the pseudonym.

"......!" Gabriel's eyes widened. He was greatly shocked for a moment. Originally, the opportunity he could imagine to access knowledge was at most like this, but now there was an opportunity to go to the House of the Decrees in front of him.

That is the House of the Lords, probably the place with the largest knowledge reserves in the entire Teyvat. The vast majority of scholars also come from the House of the Lords, which explains everything very well.

——This also includes his late wife Yufei.

"...Why are you asking this suddenly?" Gabriel suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and chose to ask the reason first.

"Because I plan to send the promising talents from the current clans to the House of the Lords. After a few years, when they finish their studies and return, they will bring the House of the Lords' advanced knowledge back to the desert." Amber spoke calmly and told Gabriel about the next plan.

"I alone cannot move the entire desert. All I can do is make the 'foundation' as solid as possible. After that... it will be the era of the new generation."

"At the moment, Yi is tied up due to heavy duties within the Chi Nian Clan, and so am I. The other clans already have one member, the Sha Yi He Clan has five, and the remaining clans in the union have only six members combined. After much deliberation, I've decided to ask for your opinion."

“…” Gabriel fell silent. The fairy tale book in his hand was still not closed. His eyes were still on the book, but his attention was no longer on it.

He is very different from the past, and he now understands the importance of so-called knowledge more than ever.

——Besides, he still couldn't let go of Youfei's research and her dream.

According to legend, in that beautiful place - a golden dreamland with many reeds growing, the souls of the Red King's followers will be guided here after their death, so that they will no longer be in pain and confusion and can enjoy eternal peace and happiness.

This is Thutmose's goal and also what Youfei has been researching. Perhaps... everything needs an end.

"Father... are you leaving?" As perceptive as little Jade was, she understood Gabriel's thoughts in just a moment. Gabriel listened to his daughter's voice beside him and gently closed his eyes.

He was struggling fiercely. The reason he escaped from Thutmose was because Euphie, Jade, and Sameltai were too extreme. If he continued like this, there would be no good ending.

And now, is he really going to abandon little Jade again?

"Well...why don't you guys go together?" Aji flew from Amber's shoulder to the table, looking quite confused. Since they didn't want to separate, they might as well go together.

"This isn't some kind of tourism trip." Amber sighed deeply. "It's very rare for the Sand People to go to the Order House, let alone the large numbers I'm planning to send them in."

"As the first group, they bear the heaviest responsibility, and this will most likely not be an easy task."

"Hmm..." Ah Ji understood a little. In terms of quality of life alone, it is actually best for little Jade to stay in the clan now. If she goes to the forest where she is unfamiliar with the place, she will inevitably be excluded. If she is left with a trauma, it will take a lifetime to heal.

"...Jade, I haven't told you about your mother yet, right?" Gabriel opened his eyes, and his gaze became firm.

"..." Little Jade seemed to have sensed something as well. She jumped from the bench to the ground without saying a word, lowered her head and threw herself into Amber's arms.

Amber just leaned forward slightly, touching little Jade's head somewhat helplessly.

This plan was undoubtedly cruel to little Jade, but at the same time, Gabriel also had some things he had to do.

This is not only to put an end to the research that Youfei has devoted her life to, but also for the future of her daughter and the future of the desert. After all, the desert is their real home. If the desert becomes better, the lives of little Jade and those children who have similar experiences as little Jade will also be better.

And now... there is such an opportunity in front of him.

"...Your mother is a very gentle person." Gabriel slowly came behind little Jade, squatted down and stroked her face from behind.

"Her name is Yufei Hindi. She is the smartest scholar I have ever met and a being that fascinates me."

"I'm sorry...Jade, but before your mother left, she left a question unanswered. Now, father has to solve it."

"..." Neither Amber nor Aji said anything. Little Jade just hugged Amber's legs. Gabriel looked at his daughter for a moment, sighed slightly, stood up and walked out the door.

"Zhebrel... we'll be leaving in half a month. Before that, if you change your mind, you can tell me at any time." Amber picked up little Jade and let her bury her head in her arms. Upon hearing this, Zhebrel just waved his hand and walked towards his house.

A man who was older than Abdul arrived a moment later. Looking at Amber, who was holding little Jade with a melancholy look, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Lord Divine Envoy, are you looking for me?"

"...Yes, Hermit will be away for a long time due to some matters. You often stayed here before, so the management of this place will be handed over to you from now on."

Amber looked at the man in front of her. He was the second leader of the traveling clan to join the Chi Nian clan, and the one who was very good at telling stories. He had often helped Gabriel manage the library before, and he knew the model here inside and out.

"No problem, just leave it to me!" He patted his chest, as if to leave it to him. Seeing this, Amber said no more, quickly gave a few instructions and left.

The new administrator looked at Amber's leaving back with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He thought that the envoy of God was just like usual, always calm and composed, more like a "god" than a "human".

But now... As expected, even the Lord God's Messenger is still a human being, with the same emotions and desires as humans, and can be happy and sad.

The administrator suddenly realized that apart from the so-called halo of God's Messenger, God's Messenger had too many things to bear on his shoulders. He was not stupid. He could basically understand Amber's various plans and naturally knew the pros and cons.

"If this truly succeeds... the leader will truly be a legend."

……

"Is this really okay?" Aji flew into the air and followed behind Amber. The emotion coming from little Jade in Amber's arms was not a relaxing one.

Amber looked at the little Jade in her arms. She had said those words to little Jade not long ago, but now she was going to separate them with her own words. This was indeed a bit too cruel.

But...just as Gabriel said, the man still had some things he hadn't fulfilled. Now that the clan had gotten rid of its initial precarious state, those things were like a maggot on the tarsal bone, entangling Gabriel and little Jade. The sooner Gabriel could get rid of them, the sooner he and little Jade could gain true freedom.

On the other hand, Amber does have her own selfish motives. She must have someone among the people of the Sand who she can trust and is reliable enough. Gabriel is the best choice. Amber can see this without having to single out Gabriel. This is not only for Gabriel alone, but to some extent, it is also for the entire desert.

"..." Amber touched little Jade's head and remained silent. She could feel the low mood in little Jade. Amber couldn't help but wonder if she had been a little inconsiderate in telling Gabriel so early.

In the eyes of others, the "messenger of God" may be omniscient and omnipotent, but Amber is very clear about her own situation. She is facing darkness, unable to see or hear, and can only use her hands to grope and try bit by bit.

Many times she has to do it instead of thinking about its feasibility. She may not have that much time, and the situation will only become more complicated in the future.

This subtle atmosphere lasted until the evening. Little Jade kept pestering Amber without saying a word and didn't want to go back to Gabriel's room. Amber didn't know how to persuade her. In addition, she was the one who proposed this matter, so she felt guilty. So she asked Aji to inform Gabriel that little Jade would sleep with him for the next few days.

She was not idle either, and she searched through some stories in her memory, and as she talked, she ended up talking about her past.

"Can't you really remember what happened before my aunt was picked up?" Little Jie De was obviously much more energetic at this time, but the problem was not solved, it was just temporarily suppressed.

"Yes, I don't remember anything." Amber shook her head. In fact, it was not the same. She remembered it very clearly, but... no matter what, those things were not very relevant to her now, so there was nothing to say.

"Hmm..." Little Jade pondered. She didn't know how to describe her feelings. She just felt a little depressed. Instead, A Ji beside her pointed it out.

"Wow - doesn't that mean that you don't know who you are, have forgotten your past, and don't know where to go. It's almost like being abandoned. How unfortunate that would be -" As he said this, Aji pounced on Amber and rubbed her cheek.

"But don't worry! I, the town spirit, am here with you now!"

"And... and me!" Little Jade also raised her hand. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of what Ah Ji said, she understood the word "abandon". These two words hurt little Jade to a certain extent.

Abandoned...Will such a powerful aunt also be abandoned?

"Don't talk nonsense." Amber pushed Aji away and sighed helplessly, "Frankly speaking, I don't care about those things anymore."

As she spoke, Amber placed her hand on top of Jade's head and spoke again, her words filled with a resolution that Jade couldn't discern.

"I don't care about what happened in the past or what regrets I have, and I don't have the ability to change it."

“What matters is the present, and the future.”

Little Jade didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but she was attracted by the pair of sparkling amber eyes. She just felt that the eyes were so bright at this moment, and these words were deeply imprinted in Little Jade's memory.

Chapter 44: The Beginning

"Senior Falusan, you have passed the final review. In short... welcome back to the Ordinance Hall."

Xumi City is the most prosperous city in the entire Xumi and is also a veritable city of scholars. Scholars can be seen everywhere in the city. In addition, there are merchants who often pass through it and brigades that maintain public order.

This brigade is different from the Gilded Brigade in Kawanyi. It is a "Thirty-Man Brigade" composed of the people of the forest. It was named so because the original number of members was thirty. Today, it has developed into the regular security force of Xumi City, and the number of members has long exceeded thirty.

And on the high ground of Xumi City, there is a large building built on an extremely huge tree. It is the so-called House of the Order. It houses the largest library in the entire continent of Teyvat, and it contains a large number of books. Most people do not know who designed the House of the Order building, but it is almost integrated with the giant tree. This is a style that can only be seen in Xumi.

Times have changed. With the popularity of virtual terminals in recent years, libraries that were always packed with seats are now mostly empty. With such convenient things, many people have completely given up looking for information through paper books.

"Okay, okay..." Falushan was sitting in the library, holding a book in her hand. It was a book that her students and mentors compiled after her disappearance a hundred years ago based on her research. Looking at the book and then at the current library, Falushan felt a strong sense of separation.

She should not belong to this era. Everything in the current ordained house feels unfamiliar to her. Perhaps her mentality has changed, and her tone sometimes sounds like that of an old lady.

The staff who came to notify the staff also felt very strange. It was obvious that Falushan in front of them was younger than themselves, but they still had to call her senior. It was obvious that she was taller than themselves in both age and knowledge, but it still felt weird to call her senior.

"I'll send you my ID, uh... Senior, where is your Void Terminal?" The staff looked left and right but couldn't find any Void Terminal on Falushan.

"That thing... I put it away. I'm not used to using it as I'm old. Please give me the paper certificate." Falushan sighed. Only then did she truly understand what Amber had said before about the so-called "disadvantages of convenience". The library that should have been packed with people is now deserted. People don't feel the weight of books, and don't think about the burden hidden behind knowledge. This completely deviates from the original intention of doing down-to-earth academic research. No wonder there are so many utilitarian scholars now.

Yes, scholars today are too utilitarian. Compared to the era when Falushan lived, they are too impatient and always want to come up with some big project, but they are unwilling to work hard or endure hardships. Their original intention of wanting to come up with big projects is for fame and fortune rather than to contribute to wisdom.

The environment of the Ordinance House has indeed changed...

Even more infuriating is the so-called Great Sage Azar! He wasn't even born when she was active! Her research funding applications are repeatedly rejected with the excuse, "Your research is outdated!" Ridiculous! Without scholars like her who laid the foundation a century ago, how could the current Miaolun School exist?

The so-called outdated is nonsense! Perhaps her research direction in mechanical research is indeed not as good as that of the current Miaolun School. It must be admitted that with the development of the times, the demand for relic research is far less than it was a hundred years ago. This is probably why Falusan's research direction is now almost obsolete. However, when it comes to studying relic research, Falusan's research is still more effective!

Just because you can’t use it now doesn’t mean you won’t need it in the future. How short-sighted!

"Alas... this so-called Azar can't even see as far as a Sand People." Farusan couldn't help but think of the chief. Although he had done great things, he was still respectful to her and asked for advice with the heart of an apprentice. He looked at the long-term, but did not ignore the present. He had rich knowledge, but was not arrogant either. These alone made him far ahead of those arrogant scholars in the current Academy of Teachings!

"Uh... Senior, please pay attention to the occasion." The staff member looked a little overwhelmed. Although this Falushan was definitely a senior in terms of qualifications, Azar was a great sage! The most prestigious person in the entire church!

"Huh? I'm right! Hazard wasn't even born when I was active!"
