When Rama had nothing to do, Sumeru realized that their great sage was actually in Sumeru.

Rama is the nominal Great Sage, and everyone knows that He is completely indifferent and accountable to the gods alone.

Before he replaced the Theocracy of the Red King, this was somewhat unpleasant, after all, Rama did not enjoy the power of the Great Sage anymore, and he was the only one of the great sages of all generations who turned the Great Sage into an actual king.

The selection of a great sage among the six sages essentially means the victory of a certain academy of the six major academies of Sumeru in a certain period.

But knowledge, unless it completely destroys the existence of the other party, the other party will not surrender easily.

The Great Sage is the embodiment of this struggle, and you can temporarily sit first on behalf of your doctrine, but you will not sit first forever.

Doctrine must distinguish between the superior and the wrong, and what is right is right, and it can be covered up, but it will not really become wrong.

In his time, there was no absolute correctness in doctrine, and the truth was always in his hands, so everyone did not have to destroy each other's obsession - this could not prove their own correctness, the truth was only in the hands of the tree king, and if it was not to prove their own justice, then there was no need to separate life and death.

By the time the Tree King fell, the system of the six schools of Sumeru had been stabilized, and anyone who wanted to stay in the Great Sage for a long time and help his doctrine occupy the first place would be beaten down by the other five sages.

You can be right for the time being, but you will always be right, and there is no need for us to exist.

It is also for this reason that the great sages of the past generations have been very restrained.

None of them has ever been a winner in the true sense of the word, more than that, it is your turn in order, and you happen to be the sage of this school of this period, so it is logical that you have become a great sage.

This kind of great sage has been constrained too much, and he has to pay attention to too many truths, and he is actually higher than the sage in terms of actual power, and he is not worthy of his own identity.

This is not the case with Rama.

He is just the opposite of all the great sages, and he has completed the collection of power and truly confirmed the identity of the great sages.

Because of this, it is still very unpleasant for a person to sit in a position and enjoy power without taking the responsibility that comes with it.

Rama knew this, and he felt that his research was important, but he didn't want to provoke anyone, and even though he didn't feel responsible for anyone else, he chose to make most people happy.

He rarely appeared in public, concealed most of the actions of the Great Sage, and was almost directly cut off from the people of Sumeru and had no contact.

When they don't see Him, the mood of the people is naturally more comfortable.

When you can't see a pendulum and still be able to enjoy it, most people who work hard will be much happier.

This change of attitude lasted until Rama's success, when the Sumeru people realized that this great sage, who did not deal with government affairs, was able to complete an alternative mortal ascension to the gods, and intended to extend the results of this experiment to the ranks of ordinary people in Sumeru, they tacitly put away all their previous complaints, and religiously completed the excesses of faith.

In fact, whether Nahida made such concessions or not, the result was the same.

A diligent god of grass can only make people's lives better, but Sumeru has actually passed the era of five hundred years without the control of gods, and whether there are gods or not is really insignificant for most Sumeru people.

Even if people don't know that the god of grass has actually been in power for five hundred years, that's how they actually feel.

Probably now, it's a little better than when the previous generation of Six Sages took control of Sumeru.

The rainforesters must have felt worse, and the desert folks felt that the good was limited.

The former is a matter of course, after all, the desert people are not dogs, and those jobs have to be left to the rainforest people.

The desert dwellers were not satisfied with the expected benefits, they did not come to live in peace, and the results of a war of conquest were suddenly cut in number, and of course they were very angry at the last partiality of the grass god.

Without knowing the inside story, they have even begun to stir up a new atmosphere, hoping that Rama, who has ascended to the gods, will challenge the divine power of the god of grass and completely turn Sumeru into the territory of the Red King.

Since the previous compromise and concession were due to the interference of the Grass God, now that you have become a Demon God, you should also have the hope of challenging the Grass God, right?

Rama didn't care about any of that.

He did not take care of the desert people in the same way as a father did for his son, nor could he say that he was irresponsible, but Rama thought that he had done enough to do so.

It's not that it can't go one step further and let the desert people enjoy the privileges, but that this way Nahida may not be very pleasant.

After all, although the god of grass is the god of Sumeru, he is first and foremost the god of the rainforest.

The three gods ruled together, the desert was given to the Red King and the flower god, and the rainforest was the territory of the grass god.

Although nominally the god of grass is called the god of Sumeru, in fact Sumeru is the co-rule of the three gods. It's just that the god of flowers and the king of the Red have placed one after another, each with their own little plan for Mickey, and then happily embarked on a different path to the end of death.

The current situation of the desert people is largely due to the magical operation of these two.

Of course, they all have their own reasons, their own reasons for making certain choices.

But there are not many people in this world who don't have a reason to do things, and everyone doesn't care about any reason, they only pay attention to the impact of doing so and the consequences that need to be paid.

Five hundred years of captivity could not change this foundation.

At the end of the story, the rainforest still occupies the absolute upper position, at least on the basis that the six sages do not have a desert people, Rama does not see much reward for the desert people's efforts.

The return on a successful political investment should be unreasonable, because the risks are entirely commensurate with the return.

Under the fair competition, the desert people may not have a chance to occupy a sage seat, and aside from the sage seat student succession mechanism, from the perspective of knowledge and ability, Cetarai may not necessarily win········ If Setarei can't win, those desert students who don't even have a name actually have no hope, and they can't expect that there is a Shilipo Sword God here, although they don't have a reputation, but their abilities are superhumanly powerful, right?

As far as scientific research is concerned, there is basically no such thing as a monster with no reputation but extraordinary ability.

Because research costs money, either you have money, or your ability is recognized by some people, and then you get a large investment.

Since these scholars are not famous, they may have the traditional mechanism of suppressing desert people within the academy, but most of their abilities are not so impressive, so they naturally have no chance of being a sage.

But since the desert helped Nahida, and Nahida succeeded in ascending to the throne, they deserve a seat of the Sage in return for their investment.

This kind of reward is certainly not suitable for talking about on the surface, but it should be given in a real way.

Unfortunately, no.

This is not Nahida's problem, it is likely that Teyvat does not have such a history, after all, it is absolutely rare for a god like Nahida to be imprisoned by humans.

Even Heulia is able to blow himself up and make the people of salt who betray him pay a certain price.

The case of Nahida, who was helped by humans, supported by the desert people, and then completed the anti-murder position, is completely worthy of being written into a textbook and become the only case of some kind.

When the rainforest is dominant, Nahida will definitely be willing to take the rainforest to help the desert.

But if the desert is going to encroach on the rainforest······· Rama wasn't sure of the answer, and he wasn't really going to test it.

Having promised Nahida to see her country, Rama tried to attend various occasions where the great sages were supposed to be present.

There were times when people never expected His arrival, but when they arrived, they were surprised to find that the Great Sage, who had never appeared, was already sitting in his place, waiting for them to speak.

When Rama first appeared, it caused quite a reaction, and the first reaction of people to see Him was not longing, but complete fear.

They apparently thought that something bad had happened again, so much so that the great sage was going to raise his butcher's knife and kill a group of people to solve the problem.

But Rama just sat quietly until the end, and only after the last bill was over did He get up and leave.

There was no opinion, and it wasn't for the sake of killing, as if He had just come to listen to these habitual verbal fights.

That's how we do our day-to-day work, where it's the norm to fight over the tongue, and there are really some key decisions to make······· To be reasonable, the real key decision is usually made by two or three people, and everyone else is only responsible for obedience.

At Nahida's request, Rama appeared on all the occasions where he was theoretically supposed to be present, and finally came to a simple conclusion.

"It's like it's the same with me and without me." He said very seriously, "Don't you think Sumeru's mechanism is actually very good? ”

"Most of the Seven Kingdoms are built around the gods, but in practice, some gods will slowly break away from them, allowing the kingdom to gradually operate independently."

"The gods have supported the development of the entire country with their long wisdom, and in this process, only the gods are the only core, including the high-level of the Knights of the past dynasties, the Seven Stars, and the like, are only temporary tools that can be replaced at any time."

"The Great Sage should not be an exception."

Nahida said softly, "So, you still think it doesn't matter? ”

"You know that the real purpose of me asking you to take a look is to make you aware of your relationship with this country, and the answer you gave me in the end is that the great sage should not be this exception, and only the gods are the only core."

"You still don't care much about Sumeru."

With the exception of Mondstadt and Sumeru, no country has truly escaped from the gods.

The old man of Liyue has done it to the point where he has to retire after holding his own funeral, and Inazuma's otaku girl rules over Inazuma and Fontaine of her own will········ Although Fcalus also quietly did his job, he left Funina and Nevillette on the surface, and Neverette was actually the de facto god of water at Fontaine.

Mondstadt is because Wendy really doesn't do godly things, as the original god of wind, the record he left in Mondstadt's history needs to be counted in "times".

Including the initial overthrow of Decarapian, the choice of Vanessa, the killing of Durin with Dvalin, and the current suppression of Dvalin, there are only a few times that describe his appearance in detail.

He may have been drinking in the tavern in some capacity, but he apparently did not interfere with any of the Order's choices.

Under these circumstances, there is no way for the people of Mondstadt not to be independent.

The Sumeru people are even more direct, their gods are imprisoned and have no way to work at all, and the Sumeru people are naturally very self-reliant.

Theoretically, if the wisdom of the gods was truly universal and powerful, Liyue Inazuma would have had a crushing power over Mondstadt Fontaine.

But in fact, these four countries can be called difficult brothers, and aside from the injection of non-human factors such as immortals, these four countries in the starting order do not see any decisive strength or weakness.

In the world of elemental power, there is no systematic guarantee that they will be able to control the elemental force, and the gap between weapons and armor is relatively limited, it is nothing more than that the skills over there are more exquisite, and the skills over there are slightly backward, far more than the decisive gap between cold soldiers and hot weapons.

Especially with Kanria as the big man in the town, the development of these countries with gods is really relatively average.

For example, in the later countries such as Fontaine Solstice, they had already begun to engage in fully automatic industrial production in the era when the people of Mondstadt used windmills, and this generation gap in productivity was actually very terrifying.

If it weren't for the fact that Teyvat didn't have a war between human kingdoms, the people of Mondstadt wouldn't be able to laugh at this point.

Nahida asked if Rama saw the country's dependence on Him, and He should repay it.

And Rama told him that only the gods are the core and the only one of a nation, and the great sages don't have to be.

He could say a lot more, including going on to explain the value and influence of the gods on the human kingdom, but that's enough.

He doesn't care about Sumeru.

Nahida wasn't disappointed, and certainly wasn't happy.

He puffed out his cheeks in a rare moment, and then exhaled again.

Standing in front of Him, Rama was wondering if he would jump up and kick his knee if he had just poked him.

"I don't quite understand why you suddenly want me to examine the relationship between Sumeru and me," Rama said suddenly, "Do you think that I will leave Sumeru and go to another country?" ”

This deepening of the bond was essentially a fear that the binding force was no longer sufficient, but Rama didn't quite understand why Nahida suddenly felt this way.

It's kind of interesting.
