318 - Judgment
Inside the Jingshan Palace.
Nahida closed her eyes.
His consciousness is strong enough to sustain Him to pop up in almost every part of Sumeru and do something special.
For example, in the Pure Good Palace, he could use the power of the grass element to appease a disaster in the desert, ensuring that the lives of the desert people living in the village at that time were not too badly damaged.
This ability may not be that strong, it is very convenient, but limited by Nahida's strength, most disasters are often only able to wait.
Being able to arrive in time is actually not good news.
You can be on the scene as quickly as possible when every disaster breaks out, but your ability can only support you to see how disasters destroy the lives of ordinary people, not enough to change this tragedy.
It's still quite cruel to think about.
His gaze was fixed on Rama until Rama completely disappeared into the realm of Sumeru.
Without Sumeru, His power would not be very supportive of this particular method.
"He didn't ask the truth."
Someone whispered in His mind, "It looks like He's a little disappointed." ”
Nahida shook her head, "He wasn't disappointed. ”
His word was too sure, so the man came with some nature, "Oh? Why do you feel that? Covering up information is a deception to Him, and no one likes to be deceived. ”
"If the truth is really so useful, Rama wouldn't need to work hard to improve his strength." Nahida's expression was calm, "He probably thinks so, if the disaster is bound to run over me, I know what kind of disaster it is and when it will happen, which is certainly a good precaution." ”
"But prevention itself is about reducing the impact on me when a disaster strikes."
"It's good to know in advance that there are some targeted precautions, but if there is no precautions, it shouldn't be something that can't be solved."
The reverse is actually more appropriate, some disasters you know and don't know have little impact, what can really interfere with whether it will run over you is not that you know when, where and in what form it will happen, but whether you have the strength to make it lose its impact.
"You're convincing yourself." The Tree King in his mind said lightly, "You're not as confident as you say. ”
Some of the stories and truths told to others are actually to convince oneself.
Nahida pursed her lips and didn't continue.
He didn't lie yet, and he didn't have the confidence and courage to lie in front of the Great Tree of Mercy.
"Yes." Nahida lowered her voice.
"Even if He's unhappy, you don't lose anything by it." The King of the Great Mercy Tree said softly, "The fact that He did not come to you is a good answer in itself. ”
Knowing the truth is certainly useful, but it doesn't necessarily have a decisive factor.
It's like the battle between Sora and Lei Movie, even if he knows all the inside information and truth about why Lei Movie got this step, he can't change anything.
Under the circumstances at that time, the only thing that could make Lei Movie hesitate was Yae Miko alone.
It was the centuries-old bond between the two parties, and the relationship between the only remaining friends after the loss of all that made Yae Miko so valuable.
Sora knows or doesn't know, in fact, it doesn't prevent him from being hung up and beaten by Lei Movie.
The same is true of Rama.
He is aware of the problem but does not pursue the answer, of course, because He thinks the truth is useless.
Rama chose a path that required faith and the support of exotic gods, and this path to heaven was paved by the Great Tree of Mercy.
At an even older point in time, because of the operation of the Red King, some of the secret chess pieces planted by the Great Cishu King at that point in time were now used on Rama's body.
Rama, of course, can go his own way and ask why, and what do you want······· But it doesn't make sense.
If the King of the Great Mercy Tree had malicious intentions, Rama's only recourse was to temporarily follow the other party's mind and seek an opportunity to resist, instead of questioning.
There's no real answer to this, and a person who is going to murder you certainly won't do it before the dust settles because you ask, "Are you planning to hurt me?" and then happily confide in all your plans - what level of neurosis does it take to do this?
And if He had good intentions, there was no need to ask.
After weighing it, Rama simply chose to remain silent.
"A sane man like Him would not let you lose anything because of this choice." ”
"But that's not good." Nahida shook her head, "It was you who told me that it would be good for Rama to do this, so I chose to agree to you." ”
"The help to Him is obvious," said the Great Tree King, chuckling, "or do you think that Morax and Barbatos are some kind of good gods who would hand over their country to an ignorant man because of the reasonableness of a man's words?" ”
"He wants to gather the pure power of the seven elements, and I gave him this opportunity."
"He needed the faith of a foreign god, and I gave Him that opportunity."
"I gave Him everything he wanted." The King of the Great Mercy Tree said softly, "Didn't I do what I promised you?" ”
"So, at what cost." Nahida asked, "What did He pay for receiving these from Fate?" ”
The Great Mercy Tree King fell silent.
"You asked a good question." He suddenly laughed, "If I told you that He didn't have to pay anything, you wouldn't believe it." ”
"You've been in contact with Him for too long, and that's the only thing I'm worried about, you're bound to be influenced by Him."
"Like now, whatever answer I give, you're going to have doubts and won't support me as much as you always have."
When a person puts a question on the surface, he doesn't really need an answer, he brings his own answer to verify rather than ask.
"You say that, it looks like we're all wrong." Nahida did not resist.
In just an instant, all of His power was sealed up, and even his body was taken over.
It's a very simple truth, and the picture is poor and dagger.
It's as if all villains will arrogantly announce all their plans after everything has been completely decided······· Of course, the part that was broken by love and justice afterwards was something else.
You obviously look at everything that has been written, but these things just shout "Damn, don't underestimate our bonds" and rush up and do all kinds of completely unthinkable things.
These unreasonable things cannot be used as references, and the only part worth referring to is that the bad guys may not be willing to take off their masks even before the dust settles.
Nahida didn't resist, he just sighed softly, "We were all wrong. ”
"In the memories before Rama, and some of the experiences that followed, we all thought that these were the means and arrangements of the Red King."
"But now that I think about it, all the people who can prove that the Red King is this evil party are only you and the grass dragon Apep from beginning to end."
"The first time you appeared, you were playing with the Red King, and the second time you suppressed the Red King's conspiracy, and Apep accompanied him to testify about this matter, and there was no third party, so we can only believe in such an answer."
"But in fact, from the beginning, it was not the Red King Ahmar who had the problem, but you."
This is a very old-fashioned method, similar to an alibi for a crime, normally an alibi is enough to exonerate from it, but unfortunately in the later plots, it is often this kind of person who has come up with the most evidence to prove his innocence, but the real murderer.
"We all know that bad guys talk a lot in the last moments and are often defeated by righteous supermen." He smiled and said, "But when the time comes, how can I refuse to share in the joy of a thousand-year-long watch for the final harvest?" ”
"You shouldn't have resisted me so much, at least in your part, the part of the memory you believe in is really fine."
"The battle with the Red King, the catastrophe that caused the Kareya, and the choice to pluck the pure branches to help become the new god of grass, are all no problem."
The Great Mercy Tree King said softly, "We are one. ”
"Of course you have a point," Nahida nodded, "We are indeed a natural alliance of interests, and you don't want the body of me, a weak grass god. ”
"Knowing the truth and doing it are often not the same thing." "I guess you don't mean to support me when you say that, do you?" ”
A natural alliance of interests means that they should naturally unite for some common good.
Sadly, Nahida didn't think so.
"As you said, I have more contact with Rama, and He has never let me down, so I will not cooperate with you." He paused, "But you probably don't need my consent." ”
Rama was wrong.
Nahida sighed.
It is impossible for a person to guard against his own memories at all times, and even if Rama has already suffered a loss in this regard, he still cannot completely discard his stereotypes.
In His mind, the Great Tree King was supposed to be a benevolent God.
So when He realized that the Great Tree King might actually be alive, Rama didn't do much to make any moves or be wary.
If he really thought there was something wrong with the Great Tree King, he wouldn't have given up on going to the Pure Good Palace and went straight to Liyue instead.
He still believed that the Great Tree King was supposed to be a good God.
But in doing so, He missed one last chance.
The Nahida he would see later would be a goddess of grass who could perfectly play Nahida.
Rama has already followed the other party's script, and will choose to believe in him, the god of grass, which means that his trust has given up the possibility of his last survival.
"This kind of plan is actually very rough, and I believe that both you and Rama can actually see through it."
"But this plan is too early, and the few parties who are left are enough to piece together the truth that everyone has to believe."
His words were not proud, but rather joyful.
Whether most of the layouts can succeed is actually a bet on whether the opponent can be knocked down by unfavorable factors.
The eagerness brought about by overly demanding military exploits, and the rash advance of the enemy brought about by arrogance······· The more mistakes they make, the more likely they are to succeed.
A good plan is to target the other party's mistakes, raise the probability of the other party's mistakes, and guide the other party into the bottomless abyss.
That's history.
Some people take something and study it determines what others have to believe about what that group of people in history did.
When they say what kind of life people live in a certain era, others can only believe that there was indeed such a period in history, and that this is how people lived in that period.
And this is what Rama is facing.
The plan was not complicated, the problem was that it appeared too early, to what Rama was accustomed to, was itself a dream specially prepared for Him.
He has been in this dream since he was born, so naturally he can't talk about breaking away.
There will still be some accidents in Truman's world, but the dreams woven by the gods themselves will not have these accidents, and Rama has no way to verify the problem through the environment, he can only look for anomalies in a limited environment.
It is actually very strange for a person to think of doubting himself, and Rama at this time is no different from a psychopath.
But he is still a little worse, a certain type of person who always doubts the world before he doubts himself.
Rama didn't choose to doubt the world, but chose to doubt himself, so he lost.
And His last chance was given up in His deliberations.
At this last chance, He performed an act that would be most easily judged.
From the point of view of interests, I should not pay attention to the truth, knowing the truth is worthless to me, even if I do, I can't give up my faith and elemental power, and take out a new plan to carry it out, it's too difficult, I can't guarantee success.
He was accustomed to judging in terms of gain and loss, and some people predicted that He would judge that way, so He lost.
"Get some sleep, my little girl." He smiled and said, "When you wake up, it's all over." ”
Darkness enveloped Nahida's consciousness, pulling her into some kind of warmth.
Nahida held on and didn't want to sleep, but the warmth was too comfortable for him to resist.
Sorry······· I don't think I'm doing very well.
