Chapter 831: The Second Reincarnation (1)
Looking at the glowing void terminal in Ying's hand, Jiuqi Shinobu nodded thoughtfully, his eyes calm and profound.
Indeed, almost everyone in Xumi City wears a terminal device connected to the void system—
This lightweight yet ubiquitous device has long become the core hub of Xumi people's lives.
It is not only a bridge of information, but also an extension of consciousness.
Because of this, it becomes the most ideal medium to pull everyone into the same dream and weave a collective illusion.
and……
A cold glint suddenly flashed across her eyes, like a sharp blade quietly unsheathed in the dark night. "If I remember correctly, on the night of the true Flower God's Birthday, the Great Sage and his assistant appeared."
"But the strange thing is, neither of them is wearing a Void Terminal."
Ying nodded slightly, her voice cold and clear:
"The Void Terminal is the tool that Xumi people rely on for survival and is an indispensable part of their daily operations."
"As the senior sages of the Magisterium and their right-hand men, they should rely on this system more than anyone else."
"At first I didn't understand why..."
Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if clearing away layers of fog: "But now that I think about it, everything has an explanation—"
"As long as you wear the Void Terminal, you will be automatically connected to this recurring collective dream, trapped in the endless Flower God Birthday Festival."
"This process of constantly draining one's spirit and eroding one's consciousness is obviously not something that ordinary people are willing to endure, let alone those high-ranking sages."
"From the very beginning, they stood outside the ceremony, watching everything that happened with cold eyes."
Arata Ichito ripped off the small terminal hanging from his ear and held it in his palm, examining it with a look of suspicion on his face.
"This palm-sized thing, can it really have such great power? Can it drag everyone in the city into a dream and spin around in circles?"
Nashida's expression was calm, but her tone carried a weight that should not be underestimated: "Don't underestimate the Void System."
She raised her eyes to look at the crowd, her voice as clear as a spring in the forest: "The Void operates on the power of the Heart of God. It is the embodiment of the power of the God of Wisdom. He unifies the wisdom of all people and bestows knowledge upon them."
After a pause, she shook her head slightly and added:
"But... to call it a manifestation of 'my' power might not be accurate. In fact, its roots are deeper, more ancient—"
"To be precise, it is the legacy left by the Great Merci Tree King, her last gift to this land."
Upon hearing this, Ming Yuan curled his lips slightly and said sarcastically, "Oh, forcing the title of God of Wisdom onto the Great Compassion Tree King? This is truly the usual royalist style."
He sneered, his eyes sharp. "If you ask me, Narcida, you and Caesar are too kind."
"Even though he possesses the power to conquer everything, he is constantly controlled by those outdated and conservative forces. Even breathing depends on their will."
"You don't feel aggrieved on days like this? I'm angry for you."
Nashida looked at him quietly, a hint of emotion in her eyes, and finally she just shook her head slightly:
"I know... I understand everything you said."
"But, after all, they are also the people of Xumi. Their fears, obsessions, and even prejudices... are all part of this land. I cannot let them go so easily."
"Womanly kindness." Ming Yuan spat out these four words coldly, his tone leaving no room for maneuver.
Then, he whispered again: "God loves the world... It is indeed the most severe curse in Teyvat."
The air was stagnant for a moment, with only the sound of wind chimes outside the window.
Nashida remained silent, with an indescribable look of fatigue and determination appearing between her brows.
Arataki Ichito, standing by, scratched his head and muttered to himself, "To unify the wisdom of all people and impart knowledge to them..."
"I still don't quite understand."
He frowned, thinking hard. "I understand giving knowledge to the people."
"After all, the guy handing out terminals at the city gate said that the people of Xumi study, work, and communicate through the void every day. Knowledge circulates like air."
"But this unifies the wisdom of all people? I don't quite understand. Is everyone's brain connected to a super brain?"
(I’ll make up 4000 later. I’m going to take a shower first.)
