Chapter 209

"…I said that the current workload is far from reaching the limit of human beings."

"Although I don't know where you found the evidence, the questioning phase of the discipline officers has ended. According to your plan, we should start discussing other issues next."

When Seno stepped into the Pure Palace alone, he saw that except Azar, the seven people whose statements he was responsible for were gathered together openly - Kavi was talking with the two gods excitedly; Tinari was asked about his teacher whom he hadn't seen for a long time; Iskander, the wise man of the Cause Theory School, took advantage of this free time to rest, just like Elhaisen.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss some more pressing issues." Lansemero clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to Nashida and himself. "First, about tomorrow's Flower Goddess Birthday Ceremony - because time is very important, I don't plan to postpone it. In addition, what needs to be paid attention to is the news we need to announce at the Flower Goddess Birthday Ceremony."

"I believe that the announcement of Little Auspicious Grass King's official takeover of the management of Sumi is a recognized fact for us - so I will skip this." Lansemero glanced at everyone and sighed with regret, "The only thing missing is that there is no representative from the Minglun School... Well, I am from the astronomy department 'Animusphia', so I can be considered an astrologer."

"Well, now all six schools have representatives here - so we can make some important decisions. The subsequent process will be handed over to you, Nashida." Lansemero smiled at Nashida, stepped back and blended in with the other participants. "Now I am neither the Dreamless Tree King nor the Flower God, but just an ordinary scholar."

"Okay." Nashida nodded, looking up at everyone, "First, we need to fill the vacancies of the Great Sage and several other Sages at least temporarily - after all, in certain important occasions, the gathering of the Six Sages can better highlight the importance of these occasions. However, our work does not start with recommending a list of candidates."

"Because I have been attending the public classes of various schools in the Magisterium for the past five hundred years, I made a preliminary list, which was then given to Nafis and Iskander to add to. Finally, it was deleted according to the records of the disciplinary officer—" Lansemero distributed a list to the void terminals of others, "By the way, all the people who appear here are candidates on this list."

"Of course, Nafis and Iskander are not yet of retirement age. I let the Dafeng official serve as a sage of the Sulun School only for my own reason of standing out when someone accompanies Nashida to various important occasions. As for the nomination of the Shenglun School, that part was added by Nafis himself."

After Lancermello finished speaking, the few people who were pulled into the core of the plan after almost everything was settled subconsciously showed disapproval expressions - of course, some felt hesitant and unsuitable to become a sage, while others simply didn't want to take on the troubles that a sage would have to face.

"The current candidates are just for emergency use." Iskander explained the full details of the temporary wise men selection to the secretary who seemed to want to leave immediately. "Strictly speaking, the full name of the wise men selected today is temporary wise men. After going through this difficult period brought by Azar, a more formal selection will be carried out to gradually replace the temporary wise men on the list."

"Of course, in that process, it is also possible to directly change from a temporary sage to a sage - however, the exception is the candidate for the Great Sage directly designated by Lord Little Jixiang Grass King; at the same time as being designated as a Great Sage, that person is directly transformed from a temporary sage to a formal school sage."

"Well, that's enough for the preliminary explanation—" Nashida tilted her head to everyone, "Now, let's start confirming the list and selecting the temporary wise men."

"I have a question—" Kavi asked Nashida while confirming the list, "Isn't the number of people on this list... a little too small?"

"Because according to the case records of the prosecutor, we have deleted a lot of candidates originally on this list." Nafis replied to the genius of the Myo-ron School with a wry smile, "The names on this list are just like us gathered in the Pure Palace now - except for the gods, they have nothing to do with Azar in this incident."

"That is to say, they are the first group of people to be released from observation by the discipline officer after being questioned," added Sino.

"... Almost all the people from the Minglun faction were admitted?" Tinari raised his eyebrows and asked Seno.

"No, there are still some clean ones—" Senor shook his head, "but those members probably didn't even make the initial candidate list. After all, this was the school where the Great Sage was, and the guys who were nominated as Sages were basically scholars who were close to Azar... Is there still a problem of academic corruption!?"

"Even if you want to investigate academic corruption, you have to wait until the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival is over tomorrow." After deciding who to vote for based on the opinions of Nafis and Iskander, Lansermello casually pinched a Flower of Avalon and handed it to Nashida, while interrupting Senor's idea of ​​continuing to work overtime. "The time before is only for you to conduct a preliminary investigation of suspects - otherwise, what's the point of holding the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival when all the people in Sumi City have been arrested."

"Now that all the non-suspicious people have been released, the manpower in Sumi Castle is finally no longer extremely insufficient. Although it is still not enough, if we work hard with the determination to die... one night is enough for us to set up the entire Sumi Castle."

"……well."

After everyone had made their choice, Nashida tallied up the final results of the four temporary sages, and then led everyone into the next stage of the meeting, which was also the real highlight - the sages used the legacy left by the Great Compassionate Tree King five hundred years ago to create the void system and void terminals, which restricted the scholars' thinking, so after the fall of Azar, they also needed to formulate new guidelines on the use of the void.

"Then at least we should have a general direction, right?" Elhaisen was holding a notebook and doing his job as a clerk. "Should we shut it down directly or continue using it?"

"There are two options." Lansemero, who has held control of the Void System for most of the past five hundred years, watched Nashida show the Heart of the Grass God to everyone. "The first option is to shut down the Void System directly. The downside is that the living convenience of the entire Xumi will regress by five hundred years - although in my opinion, compared to five hundred years ago when Xumi just got her inheritance, not much has changed."

"What about the second one?" Elhaisen didn't even move his pen. He crossed his arms and looked at Lansemero who was standing next to Nashida. "Since you put this plan in front, it must not be the most suitable plan you think - then, if you want to keep the void system running..."

"I remember when I came to the Great Sage's office, you were modifying the void system." Tinari touched his chin and asked Lansemello and Nashida, "If it was to be shut down, what were you doing at that time?"

"Because the Void System has not been officially shut down, we have turned off the function of harvesting dreams." Nashida smiled and exchanged glances with Lansemero. "Lord Great Mercy Tree King, the first wise man gained endless knowledge in dreams, so before the new Flower God Birthday Ceremony is held, we will return the dreams that were taken away by the Void to everyone."

"Because Azar harvested dreams and the subsequent transformation and processing work were all completed within the void system, I spent a little time deleting all the content he placed in the void system." Lansemelo spread out her palms, and branches made of magic appeared in her palms. "Well, now let's talk about the second plan."

Almost all Teyvatians know about the great catastrophe that occurred five hundred years ago - and the Sumerians may know more about the underground kingdom of Kanria than people of other countries.

Moreover, when it comes to the history of Sumi itself, the Red King who once ruled the desert has created technology that has not been reproduced by humans until now - even Sumi's scholars cannot replicate such technology with their own power after studying these Red King relics.

——No matter which world people are from, they will never give up looking up at the sky.

"As long as they are human, they will definitely look up at the starry sky." Lansemero's magic power spread out and turned into a model that simulates the movement of celestial bodies. "But because of this, when scholars in the past tried to explore the starry sky, the wise men of the Ordos wrote "exploring things outside the universe" in the six root sins."

"But if you want to promote academic progress, curiosity is an indispensable part of it." Lansemelo looked at the scholars in front of him and sighed helplessly, "Although I am just an ordinary scholar now, but... the Great Compassion Tree Queen once described to me her ideal future belonging to Sumi."

——Humans should be resilient beings that can move forward even without the gods.

——Although I know that even gods cannot resist such power, I hope...

——They can be like the protagonist in the story you told me, and one day, they will knock down the throne in the sky with their own hands!

"Then let me tell you a story first. After all, I have accepted her commission, so I must watch you say goodbye to her." Lansemello smiled, and the magic power in his hand turned into the shape of the end of the void, and finally dissipated in the air. "There was once a college, and the reason for its establishment was the same as the original establishment of the Decree."

"In order to avoid the 'disaster' confirmed by the first president, this academy has been constantly destroying and forging weapons."

"However, the weapons they created to deal with the 'disaster' eventually became tools capable of destroying the world. However, no one knows what they created. The only thing people know is that they created weapons to deal with the 'disaster' - but those weapons were enough to destroy the world many times over."
