Chapter 48
The Insecure Nahida

Even the God of Wisdom has things they don't know.

Nahida's large head was filled with confusion at this moment.

Why would there be a new Dendro Archon, that doesn't make sense at all.

“Hello Nahida! Do you want to go outside?

Do you want to become the true Dendro Archon?

Do you want to know the truth of your birth?

Do you want to understand this world?

Do you want to learn about other world's knowledge?” Mu Yang placed his hand on Nahida's prison, speaking softly and persuasively.

At the beginning, Mu Yang had planned to directly take Nahida by force, to bring about a change in Sumeru. If he and Nahida worked together, could anyone in Sumeru stop Nahida?

Although Nahida was insecure, she was, after all, the embodiment of the World Tree. As the Dendro Archon for five hundred years, she had already reached the level of a god. While there was still a gap between her and the other powerful Archons like Morax and Baal, she was still a god, not something ordinary humans could compare to.

But just as Mu Yang was about to arrive in Sumeru, Zhongli, that old man, told Mu Yang that the current Doctor had powerful fragments in Sumeru and advised him to be careful.

The Doctor, though a bad person, had exceptional abilities. He was truly a genius, his strength comparable to a god, which Mu Yang knew.

Someone like Mu Yang, if seen by the Doctor, would absolutely be captured, even imprisoned. Although Morax was there to provide protection, Mu Yang still didn't want to do anything reckless.

“Are you the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?” After a long hesitation, Nahida continued to ask, “Or… your brother?”

Nahida strongly suspected that the other party was related to the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Otherwise, why would they have the same Dendro Archon divine power?

“Why don't you call me Daddy…” Mu Yang's expression stiffened. He had imagined how Nahida would call him, but he hadn't expected such a result.

“Daddy?” Nahida tilted her head. Did she have a mother?

Oh, if she really thought about it carefully, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata could indeed be considered her mother.

So this man was the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's partner?

“Hmm, that's a good name.” Mu Yang nodded with satisfaction. Achievement unlocked: Called Daddy by Nahida.

After all, it was Nahida!

“Do you want to come out? I can open this cage.” Mu Yang immediately said to Nahida, “You know, I also have the Dendro Archon divine power.

I can unlock this cage for you outside. The Akademiya people are doing some heinous experiments. If you let them continue, Sumeru will be completely destroyed.”

Nahida looked at Mu Yang expectantly: “Are you talking about the god-making experiment?”

Apparently, Nahida wasn't completely clueless.

But thinking about it, Nahida felt a pang of sadness: “It's my fault, I'm not good enough, I made them disappointed in me. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done these experiments.”

“You're an idiot, how could it be your fault?” At this moment, Mu Yang really wanted to pry open Nahida's big head and see what was inside. Was it all tree sap?

The God of Wisdom, huh!

“You are the god of this country, the child and reincarnation of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. In Sumeru where the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is no more, who is more suitable to be the Dendro Archon than you.” Mu Yang looked at Nahida with a mixture of frustration and pity, “Do you know the process of training a dog?

Look at how similar your current situation is to training dogs and wild animals?

When you were young, they kept telling you that you couldn't do it, that you weren't a qualified Dendro Archon. Slowly, you also began to believe that you weren't a qualified god. But they never told you how to become a great god. They just imprisoned you. Is it really your fault?

It's for power, the supreme power of Sumeru.

Sumeru now is a nation of gods, but you know, your presence as a god is almost nonexistent. So the Akademiya people are the ones who control the entire power of Sumeru.

They are the sages, their descendants will also be sages. They firmly grasp the power of this nation.

They can allow the people of Snezhnaya to continuously kidnap children for human experiments in their country, because they know that the kidnapped ones won't be their own children.

Moreover, the people of Snezhnaya can also help them eliminate anyone who disobeys them.

As for the lives of other ordinary people, they don't care at all.”

Nahida blinked her eyes, she seemed to understand something, but for a moment, she couldn't grasp it.

“As for that so-called artificial god, they want a certain level of power. After all, if they don't have the power of a god, they can't stand up for themselves many times.

But you need to know that this is a forbidden experiment. If the Doctor can create gods, why not do the experiment in Snezhnaya? Why come to Sumeru to do it?” Mu Yang paused and continued, “Because even the Doctor knows that these experiments are not allowed.

Even their Tsaritsa wouldn't allow such experiments to happen.

If humans create new gods, then what are the Seven Archons?

Do you think the other Seven Archons can really allow this to happen?

Even if the Seven Archons acquiesce to this matter, do you think the people of Celestia will allow it to happen?

When the time comes, I believe you will understand the outcome of Sumeru.

Nahida, don't you want to see Sumeru destroyed?”

Nahida's face turned pale when she heard Mu Yang's words.

She had never thought about this before, or perhaps she had ignored it.

Sometimes, she even thought that maybe she was doing too poorly, that she had disappointed them. If the Akademiya could create a god they were satisfied with, then her death might be worth it.

But now, hearing Mu Yang mention it, it seemed like she shouldn't be so depressed!

Sumeru has truly reached a point of no return.

“But I can't do anything well.” However, very quickly, Nahida became self-conscious again.
