Chapter 521 God Always Bestows Grace
"I'm just trying to make sure you haven't encountered anything similar elsewhere."
Elhesen said in a deep voice, "After all, the forbidden knowledge brought by the Crimson King was mentioned in that conversation. It seems that it was because of his existence that the World Tree developed lesions. And now, the dead zone, the demon scale disease, the sandstorm, and those monsters that have appeared in Sumeru, don't you think they are similar to the phenomena that occurred a long time ago when the World Tree was contaminated by forbidden knowledge?"
Xu Ning nodded and said, "It's very similar. If these two are indeed related, then all the problems have been found. In the end, the only goal is to cure the World Tree, and only by rescuing the Little Lucky Grass King who will succeed the Great Compassion Tree King can this goal be achieved."
After saying that, Xu Ning smiled and said, "At least I don't think that after that scattered soldier became a god, he would be as considerate of Sumeru's terrible people as Little Lucky Grass King."
"Now that we understand all of this, what we need to do is gather our strength, defeat the Order of the Church, and rescue the Little Lucky Grass King."
Rahman, who had been exchanging a few words with Dishia, walked over to the two and said, "If... it's for saving the Grass God, our Gilded Brigade is willing to lend a hand, as an apology for our misunderstanding of Him. We will also send the village guards back, and then we will set up camp outside Aru Village, awaiting your orders."
Dixia also came over to chime in, "Let them join. The desert people's fighting power is definitely superior to those Sumeru guards. With us holding them back, taking down the entire Order Academy will be a very easy thing."
Xu Ning laughed and said, "With such a powerful ally, why would I refuse? I'll take everyone somewhere first, and then we can discuss how to make the best use of this surprise force."
Xu Ning had Kong bring out his Dust Song Pot, led everyone inside, and then flew out of the collapsed hole with Kong.
Release Rahman and let him arrange for the return of the village guards.
"I think we should just let Kong swagger around the Academy. Once the guards arrest him and take him to see the Great Sage, the surprise attack from the Dust Song Pot can be launched and the Academy can be taken over directly."
Elhesen pondered for a moment, "Concise and to the point, and I can also use the void to help you with your next tasks."
Kong paused, stunned. "What... happens next?"
Xu Ning laughed and said, "Let's go kill a god!"
Since both Xu Ning and Kong had the ability to move quickly using teleportation points, after finalizing their plan and gathering their personnel, they both used the teleportation anchor point in Aru Village to return directly to Zenna Garden.
To their surprise, the Doctor was standing right in front of them as soon as they came out of the teleportation point.
"Heh, what a coincidence."
The doctor, hands behind his back, ignored the bladeless sword that had been drawn out of nowhere. "No need to be too nervous. After all, I'm not here for you. Although I am very interested in you, it's not today..."
Xu Ning gently patted Kong's shoulder and asked in return, "So what are you doing here with so many people this time?"
"The work at the Order Institute is finished, and I'm preparing to return. But I heard there's a scholar who's gone mad at Zen Garden. I thought about how Zhi Dong and Xu Mi have a close relationship, so I decided to lend a hand and bring her back to Zhi Dong for treatment..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Tinari had already walked out of the glass room.
“Hai Baxia is from Sumeru and is a scholar of the Order Academy. Her current situation does not warrant the risk of being transferred to another country for treatment. As the person in charge of her treatment, I will not agree to it.”
The Doctor turned to look at Tinari. "You're young, but quite stubborn. Normally, I'd love to have some fun with you, but unfortunately, Her Majesty the Queen is summoning us. Well, see you another time!"
Xu Ning walked to Tina's side and watched as the Doctor and the group of Fools boarded the ship and left.
"You've come at just the right time. For a moment just now, I had a feeling he was really about to order a full-scale attack."
Tinari slung the longbow he had been clutching tightly over his shoulder and said, “I can’t guarantee that I can keep a perfect defense against so many Fools.”
Xu Ning walked into the glass room and looked at Haibaxia, who was still sitting in the corner deep in thought. She seemed completely unaware of the danger she had just encountered.
"There are plenty of mad scholars in Sumeru who are sick, so why did he choose Hypasha? Is it because she can connect with the skirmishers like last time? To what extent can the Fools, no, I should say the Doctor, use Hypasha's consciousness? Can he control the skirmishers? Or can he guarantee that he can monitor her at any time?"
Be puzzled.
However, Xu Ning still suggested to Tinali that they temporarily put Haibaxia into the Chenge Pot.
"We're going to raid the Church House today."
Tinari said earnestly, "I haven't heard from my mentor yet. I suspect he's been placed under house arrest by the Church. I'll go with you."
Xu Ning and Kong were naturally more than happy to do so, but just as the two went to help Hai Baxia, a voice appeared in their minds almost simultaneously.
"You're back? Did you come back to end all this? Haha..."
Kong suddenly looked up, "They're stragglers!"
Xu Ning nodded, signaling Kong not to release Haibaxia yet, and then spoke in his mind.
"What brings you here? Is the project finished?"
The soldier laughed smugly, "I have completed my deification. All that is left is to finish up. Even if you go to rescue the Little Lucky Grass King now, it will be a waste of time. My power is now far beyond what a child can withstand."
Xu Ning sneered, "The Order of the Instruction is really quick. But, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like you've become more agreeable than before. This isn't like you. Did something go wrong with the experiment?"
The stragglers burst into laughter again in their minds.
"Perhaps I'm in a really good mood right now, which is why I'm willing to talk to you a bit more. Since we've been having a good chat, I advise you to go back to your Liyue and stop worrying about things here in Sumeru. People are happiest when they are ignorant. This saying is very apt for both the people of Sumeru and for you."
Xu Ning carefully considered the words the soldier had "given" to him several times in his mind. Although he didn't know why the soldier had said those words, he felt that the soldier must have meant something.
"I won't hide it from you. We're about to rescue the Little Lucky Grass King. If you want to stop us, now's the time. Aren't you going to test your divine power?"
Kong heard that Xu Ning had actually provoked the stragglers at this time, and called out "Brother Xu" with some concern.
Xu Ning gave a slight nod, indicating that he should not panic.
"Are you eager to witness my divine power? Very well, as a god, I must bestow some favors upon mortals. I will then give you an extra demonstration!"
No sooner had the soldier finished speaking than thunder rumbled in the sky outside.
Xu Ning released Hai Baxia, signaled Kong to take her into the Dust Song Pot, and then walked out of the glass house alone.
Just moments ago, the sky outside was clear, but in the blink of an eye, it had become covered with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning rolled through the thick clouds, displaying the majestic power of the heavens.
Then Xu Ning saw a huge pillar of lightning suddenly appear above the winter ships that had sailed far away in the distance, and it struck down at an extremely fast speed.
The lightning bolt struck down from the highest mast, its fiery trail shooting downwards.
Even from this distance, Xu Ning could clearly see the shattered fragments of the ship's mainmast.
However, this was only the beginning. In the next instant, hundreds of bolts of lightning struck down from the sky at the same time, like a waterfall of lightning, crashing wildly onto the large ship where the doctor was.
The entire ship was reduced to dust in just a few seconds.
While it's unclear whether the Doctor can survive such a dense lightning storm, the Fools who came with him are destined to die a gruesome death.
"To be able to control the celestial phenomena and unleash such power to accurately strike the target one hates within the city of Sumeru, it seems that becoming a god has indeed increased the powers of the scattered soldiers considerably."
Even after the lightning shattered the doctor's vehicle, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate.
Xu Ning stood in the open space outside, looking up at the sky, watching as dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead.
"Ha, he used his colleague to show off his power, and now he wants to take care of me, the spectator, too? What a capricious god!"
The moment the thundercloud formed, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down towards Xu Ning with incredible speed.
"Brother Xu, get out of the way!" "Watch out, you big drunkard!"
Kong followed Xu Ning's instructions and hid inside the house, but he and Paimon kept a close eye on the situation outside through the window.
Seeing that the stragglers were about to use Thunder against Xu Ning, they couldn't help but shout out loud.
Xu Ning did not dodge; instead, he simply raised his wine gourd slightly.
The golden dragon coiled around the Dust Concealment Gourd, the triple lightning pattern on its palm suddenly spun, and then the incredibly powerful bolt of lightning instantly disappeared at the mouth of the Dust Concealment Gourd.
From Kong and Paimon's perspective, it looked as if Xu Ning lifted the gourd and sucked the lightning directly into it.
"That gourd actually has this function?" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
Kong pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid it's the effect of the Thousand Birds Wine Spring inside Brother Xu's place. After all, he seemed to have said that it was formed by consuming a Thunder God's Heart, so it should have a natural control over the lightning element."
"But... even a scattered soldier becoming a god relies on a Thor's Heart, right? What if two Thor's Hearts meet..."
Kong shook his head, unsure how to answer Paimon's question.
"I don't know about that. After all, I've never heard of twin Thors having two divine hearts before. But I believe Brother Xu will definitely have a way to deal with that stragglers."
