Nahida had an answer, but after hesitating, he had one more question.

"If it weren't for the good fortune that you just got my memories from my dreams, I wouldn't have been able to recall them." He asked, "So that elemental being, in fact, wanted to tell me the truth in the future, so it actively chose to go to the Chasm and try to preserve these memories?" ”

All of these elemental beings encountered along the way were unknown, and they didn't even know the name [Tinder].

Theoretically, all elemental beings should be in this state, but an elemental life that lives alone and goes to the Chasm has such a special behavior, and naturally there must be an answer to match this behavior.

It is willing to endure a different fate than others, so it can do things that other elemental beings cannot.

Keep the truth and tell the God who needs to know.

"I wouldn't advise you to follow this path to find answers, Nahida." Rama looked at the god and said seriously, "That's all it can tell you, whatever it has done for the truth, I mean······ And that's all it does. ”

"It would be understandable if you were to spend your time traveling to the Chasm in search of an elemental life that could be asleep or dead, in search of the truth about Tinder."

"But you know the truth, and it's a waste of time to go down to the Chasm just for an elemental life that carries the truth."

Spending time and wasting time are obviously different situations.

"It should know the truth." Nahida said, "If it were your words, it would have suffered quite a long time, just to wait a moment. ”

Elemental lives that have abandoned their memories may be miserable, and their lives as a kindred that have left for the sake of memory will only be more difficult and difficult.

It has been waiting for a long time, and if it is still alive, then it must also continue to wait for the moment when the answer will be delivered.

Rama's words made its wait worthless, because it kept the secret, the secret that was told when the gods asked, and one man said that he had seen this scene in a dream and already knew the answer.

Nahida was unaware of the absurdity of this answer.

A life that has lived hard for hundreds of years just to preserve a secret elemental life, Rama said I saw the scene of you making a contract in a dream, and I know the answer so you don't have to look for it.

Convenience is real, and absurdity is also real.

Nahida thought it was ridiculous for a moment, but soon he believed it and enjoyed the convenience of seeing the answer in advance.

The situation in the Chasm was complicated, and he was not worried about what danger he was encountering, but he was worried that the elemental life was dead, or alive but could not be found at all.

Knowing the answer, you don't have to worry about it.

"Are you pitying it?" Rama did not wait for Him to answer, "Yes, it waited so long just to say a word." ”

"If you don't let it speak, it's like a boring play, annoying and ridiculous."

If the ending of Funingna's 500-year role as a god is that Fucarus fails, Funinga is probably the same attitude.

"It may not last long, and it may even be dying."

"If I don't go to find it, it will die with endless remorse, resentment for its incompetence, complaining about why it can't hold on longer, and even worrying that because of its own death, the grass god will not be able to complete the crucial step of the contract and save the suffering grass dragon."

"But he didn't know that the reason the god of grass didn't look for it was not because he forgot, not because it didn't hold on, but because the god of grass had already gotten an answer from somewhere else."

Rama paused, "It's not worth the grass god's time wasting time looking for it. ”

It's really a bit tragic to think about.

"Yes." Nahida nodded, "I guess it's going to die, maybe even dead, and I can't save it." ”

Apepe was saved because He was too strong.

It only took one beat for His heart to continue to sustain and repair the broken dragon's body, sustaining Him to continue living.

But in the face of this situation, ordinary elemental lifeforms would be unable to save themselves even if they barely survived until today.

"Still, I want it to know that its centuries of suffering are worth it, and that its efforts are the key to saving Apepe."

The sacrifice was not in vain, and for the parties, this is obviously more gratifying than the posthumous gift after the fact.

Nahida could later reveal to everyone that there was such a being, that she had held on to the Dark Lands for hundreds of years, just to tell him a world-changing secret. Apep may also remember such a special elemental being, in order to save himself, he took on the same forbidden erosion as him.

But for itself, I'm afraid it doesn't have the value of meeting and telling Nahida the truth in person.

Because it is to wait for this moment, and it has lived with great difficulty to this day.

Just like the gods in a foreign land, they have also played the role of gods for hundreds of years in order to wait for the final judgment.

For them, death is liberation, the beauty of the end, and the path of beauty, and it is not worth fearing.

Death and life are no trivial matter, but the value of some things is much more important than life and death.

"If that's what you want, then of course you can do it." Rama bowed slightly, "You are the god of Sumeru and are qualified to decide everything about Sumeru. ”

"But it doesn't seem like you're on your line, Rama." After receiving Rama's acquiescence, Nahida instead had a strange expression, "You seem to have been trying to persuade me not to do this. ”

"You are the god of Sumeru and have the right to decide everything about Sumeru." Rama repeated, "Including the fate of the people of Sumeru." ”

It's not like persuasion not to do it.

It is a fact that the other party has waited so long, and it really deserves a better ending.

You can't save it, but it's okay to find it.

Without this compassion, Nahida would not be the god of grass in the plot.

Rama has no grievances with the other party, so naturally he will not stop it from completing its mission.

The two persuasions are actually a kind of emphasis.

In Act II's Legendary Mission, Nahida's performance is actually quite ······ So so.

As a god, He showed more compassion and charity, but not much determination and reason.

Or rather, He didn't have much decision other than sacrificing himself.

For the first time, he used fire to save the life of that old elemental, which can also be said to be a must to get the truth.

Later, in the desert, when he had been warned not to abuse the power of the fire for the second time, he chose to use the fire for a group of unlucky people who could not be saved and could only be freed, which directly led to the rupture of the fire at a critical moment.

And at this time, the conversation he had with Brother Kong was, it doesn't matter, I already expected it to be destroyed, but since I made this thing, of course I can make it again.

Of course Brother Kong asked, so what about the price.

Nahida's answer is outrageous, I will reverse my life again, and I may be the same as when I was first born······· Yes? Are you okay?

I knew the answer before using it, but I still chose to abuse the power of fire.

The fire was shattered, and it was I who was able to sacrifice myself to solve the problem.

You know it's going to break if you use it this time, so why can't you use it?

If it was for the sake of the overall situation, he should have understood that his own self as the god of grass was far more important than a few elemental beings, and at that time, Sumeru had just experienced the turmoil led by Azar, and it was the situation that a god was needed to preside over everything.

His actions were no less than in the middle of a war, when the enemy general captured two minions and told me that if you don't kill yourself, I will kill them.

Then our general cut himself down very indifferently.

This kind of threat is generally to threaten the lower position with the superior, like grabbing Athena's human body and threatening the Saint Seiya, saying that if you don't die, I will kill the human body of your goddess.

If the enemy threatens the goddess's human body with the Saint Seiya, regardless of what Athena thinks, his colleagues will probably not hesitate to blow up their teammates······· No, no, no, in terms of the collective personality of the Saint Seiya, they may also choose to kill themselves directly the moment they are used as a threat.

A soldier can threaten to replace a general, don't say he's a soldier, he's your own son, you can't do that when the two armies are fighting!

You can see the life and death of these two minions, and you can't see the victory or defeat of the war, the life and death of the others, right?

Everything in the story was a subjective choice for Nahida, and it was very clear that he knew the price of all his choices, and he chose to do so.

To be reasonable, this is not the level that a god should have, and it cannot even be said to be benevolent and compassionate, but a fool who thinks he is good.

Rama is very relieved of a kind person, so he has always regarded Jean as his best partner, including the desert people within Sumeru, and in terms of trust, Jean is also higher than them.

But the piano is not at this level.

The Order knows that if you catch a few more living people to threaten, you can make a few "dead people" who can't be saved be able to let you pay for it with you, what else is Sumeru playing?

As we all know, being a good person is more capable than being a bad person, otherwise you can't even keep yourself, and you can't be a good person.

If you are incompetent and kind, you usually can't do good things, but will bring trouble.

If the gods of Teyvat were all of this level, if the Order had captured two ordinary people and threatened them to die en masse, the Order would have succeeded in revenge a long time ago, and there would be no need to hide until now.

You have to know your worth, your role, weigh your abilities, and then make the final choice.

As a god, the means is to sacrifice oneself at every turn, and to choose to sacrifice oneself in order to save some "dead" who are not very important and cannot be saved without sacrificing, this should not be praised as good, but only as stupid.

"For the weak, sacrifice is an inevitable means." Rama said, "But as far as I know, whether it is a necessary sacrifice or a non-essential sacrifice, sacrifice should be the last option, not a sacrifice that is prepared at the beginning. ”

You can be prepared to sacrifice, after all, you are facing a difficult war, and it is not easy to win.

But preparation is preparation, you can't come up and shoot fate without a shot, and then choose to charge forward with a bomb.

Dude, at least try it, right? Necessary sacrifice is inevitable in many situations, but you can't apply it as a rule!

"Are you trying to persuade me? But I don't understand why you say that. Nahida's expression was a little confused, "Is it because I want to give it a better ending?" ”

The gods thought it was strange.

This kind of argument is somewhat unreasonable, the urgency of the situation is true, in case that elemental life is difficult to find, and it takes more time than Apep can bear, in fact, it is also difficult to stretch.

But what does this have to do with self-sacrifice?

"Sacrifice is a choice to weigh the pros and cons, lose less in exchange for more." Rama said earnestly, "The point is not self-sacrifice, but understanding what is precious and what is cheap. ”

"I see." Nahida nodded, "This idea is indeed a bit naïve, the matter of Apep is more important, the elemental life underground, compared to the truth, maybe it is a better choice to do things well." ”

"No, I mean, you're more important than Sumeru or more." Rama shook his head.

"But if Sumeru and I are on the two sides of the scale, then who is more important to them?" Nahida tilted her head, "There must always be a balance between the two things that are important. ”

He looked at Rama, and Rama looked calm, "Of course you are standing in front of the plane. ”

"You yourself will weigh who is more important, Sumeru or yourself."

"I'm not going to make that trade-off." Nahida denied, "I won't stand in front of this scale, because Sumeru is more important than me, and it's not worth weighing and considering. ”

"That's not me either." Rama rubbed the god's cheek offended, "For me, Sumeru is not as important as you, and it is not worth weighing and considering. ”

"Humans would describe this behavior as······ Preference? Nahida tilted her head.

"No, normally, this should be considered a crime." Rama denied the claim, "Go back, I'll go to the Chasm and tell it that its mission is complete." ”

"You're going with me, I don't have the confidence to be able to convince Apepe." Nahida didn't bother, but silently noted down this behavior, intending to go back and look through the Sumeru people's dreams before making a final decision.

"We are savers, and if He does not want to be saved, let Him die." Rama's words were flat, "We don't need to ask Him in this regard. ”

If Apep could really put his life under dignity, then let him die.

Anyway, Rama didn't believe that Skye Island could watch all the people in one place die.

"I can't gamble on that anymore, Apep's life and death are his business, but I don't want the people of Sumeru to suffer disaster because of this."

Nahida's brow furrowed slightly.

Just as Heulia was killed even if he was semi-voluntarily, he still turned most of those who had betrayed him into statues of salt after his death.

Powerful lifeforms, let alone death, even if they only walk a few steps, they will bring destruction to the innocent people under their feet.

Even if Otel hadn't come with a desire for revenge, he would have only had to swim close to Liyue Harbor twice, and a large number of mortals would have died in Liyue Harbor.

The immortals and the Seven Stars intercepted him, and the recruits of the Millelith Army on the Jade Pavilion couldn't bear it.

If you get closer to ordinary people, you can open a table on the spot.

To do this, Oser doesn't need to take a special look, just need to pass by.

And Apep has a higher number of stages than the two of them combined, and his life dates back to the time when the Demon God had not yet appeared, when the Seven Dragons ruled the world, and Apep has lived from that era to the present day.

The catastrophe caused by his death was enough to bring Sumeru back to the "no man's land" and even beyond.

The pervasive grass elemental power that Nahida was worried about was a small matter, because at that time, Sumeru should be empty, so there was no need to worry about the trouble caused by the high concentration of elemental power and nourishing the growth of grass and trees.

That's what Nahida fears.

Rama, on the other hand, would have been a little worried if the disaster had only affected the desert.

It can affect an entire country at a time, and wipe out the human race of an entire country at a time, and it is impossible for Sky Island to allow this kind of thing to happen.

The Flood of Fontaine was based on the judgment of the previous water goddess Egria's unauthorized theft of the power of the primordial fetal sea, and turned the pure water elves as dependents into the first Fontaine, and the flood was also aimed at these Fontaine people who flowed with the power of the primordial womb sea.

In the early days, Rama actually had some special ideas, such as what exactly is considered a Fontaine.

To have Fontaine nationality, to live in Fontaine, or to have a more specific definition?

After all, Fontaine has been established for a long time, and the definition of Fontaine people obviously contains a variety of divisions, and Rama considered whether it was possible to convert the nationality of some Fontaine people, or arrange people to the desert of Sumeru to see if the water could flood this place, so as to circumvent the so-called prophecy.

This prophecy is directed at the Fontaine, but it is clear that the Fontaines need to be given a more specific and detailed definition to distinguish between Fontaine and the foreigners, otherwise it would be no different from an indiscriminate massacre.

The follow-up plot revealed that it was divided ethnically.

The people of Fontaine are not really Teyvats.

The Teyvats are the main trunk, while the Fontaines can basically belong to the branch that is attached to the Teyvates, which can be regarded as a subspecies of humans.

There are decisive differences between the subspecies of humans and the Teyvats, both of whom share the same morphology, habits, and language, but there are still essential differences.

The prophecy is to kill these subspecies Teyvats.

Assuming that the ancestors were the first Fontaine, and then went to settle in other countries for various reasons, and finally returned to Fontaine to do business, they still could not escape the dissolving power of the primordial seawater.

Because it is aimed at the attributes of the race, and not the Fontaine people in the broadest sense.

It's a small study, but as soon as the follow-up plot appears, there's no need for research.

It directly arranges a subspecies of human label for others, and the normal presuppositions and considerations are also based on the fact that the Fontaine people are also Teyvats race, and it will certainly not directly deny their human identity.

But the plot directly denied it.

They are not human beings at all, and they can naturally be killed with precision.

This is the big story of Fontaine, and it is also the source of the prophecy that there will be a nation there to fall, but there is no such big question as Sumeru, no matter what, the god of grass should obviously be divided into the end of the toil, so as not to violate the taboo of the Isle of Sky like Fontaine.

Counting this time, the Isle of Skye arranged two disasters at the national level.

One time was Kamria, where civilians were cursed to become hilichurls, which in turn led to the emergence of the Order.

Once it was Fontaine, because Egria had broken the taboo, and that prophecy was born.

Sumeru is not like this, if it also encounters the disaster of national extinction, there is no reason for Sky Island to sit still.

If the trouble is small, Sky Island may not be visible, but Apep's death is also a big event, and Sky Island can sit still if it makes no sense.

Nahida's words prove that the Isle of Skye was largely shut down during this period, which is why there is a plot to destroy the Heart of God, awaken the Heavenly Principles, and threaten Dotore.

But people will wake up when they fall asleep, it's just that the alarm clock bell doesn't ring, and such a big explosion Sky Island is also sitting still, and Rama is also going to make some big news.

Rama didn't have that expectation, he still believed that the Isle of Skye would come out and clean up the mess.

However, this speculation obviously did not convince Nahida, who was less likely to put the solution to the disaster on others, and apparently believed in himself more.

His eyes burned, and Rama nodded in agreement.

"Have you ever thought about it, but I'm actually quite a vegetarian." When he agreed, Rama still sighed, "Is it possible that I can't actually say anything about this matter?" ”

You talk to Apepe, and he can look up at me?

There's really no need to put such a tall hat on me, I can't carry it.

Nahida didn't hesitate, "But if you're by my side, I'll feel much more at ease." ”

The god of straight ball attack said his reason, "It has nothing to do with strength, and I don't believe that Apep is really willing to die." ”

My efforts are habitual and I don't want to give the grasp of solving the problem to others, but you have to ask me if I really find things difficult and worthy of my full preparation and effort······· I really don't believe that He just wanted to die.

If Apep was really so unruly, there was no reason why he could live to this day.

Of the seven dragons of the same era, the three who appeared in the field had apparently completed a rebirth, but Apep was still alive.

If He was alive, he would have bowed his head.

Otherwise, there is no reason why He could still live.

"It's just psychological comfort." Rama thought for a moment, "It's okay, let's go and see how the Red King is doing." ”

It's not that contact with Apep is completely beneficial.

He devoured the body of the Red King, who had always been Rama's intended target.

Maybe after this step, he will be able to become Him, too.
