Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"I am Naxida. The situation is urgent. I can only transfer to Dao Ying's body first. Let's leave here."

Nasita, who was now inhabiting Ying's body, stood up.

"Quick, follow me."

Tinari ran ahead, knocking down several soldiers, and led a few others out.

……

Behind the crowd.

The Doctor watched the crowd leave without giving chase.

"People from Liyue... Interesting..."

……

The world of players.

【My Nasita, Doctor!!】

Thank goodness Nasita is alright, I was so scared.

[Doctor] The most disgusting kind of villains are those with brains!

[The second seat holder is indeed cunning; someone who could secure the second seat through merit would resort to a sneak attack?]

【…】

……

"Lord Grass King, are you alright?"

As Chu Xi fled, she asked Naxi Da about her situation.

"It's alright. I quickly transferred my consciousness to the Traveler before the doll was destroyed. I didn't expect the [Doctor] to actually come after me personally..."

"Hey? Are you Nasita? How is Ying doing now?"

"Paymon, don't worry, the traveler is fine."

Tina, who was running at the front, slowed down: "Grass King... are you the Little Lucky Grass King?"

Naxi Da: "It's me."

Tinari: "It really is... Lord Grass God! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Nasita shook her head and said, "After the traveler wakes up, please help her tell her: [Doctor] has found a way to imprison consciousness, and I can no longer travel with you... Even on nights without a [moon], the starlight is enough to pierce through [illusion] and [lies].

The group only stopped after escaping to a relatively safe place.

"...It seems like no one is chasing us anymore once we get here."

Paimon looked at Sparkle: "Are you alright, Narcida... Wait, no! This feeling is, Sparkle, are you back?"

Tinari: "Hmm? Is the Traveler himself again now?"

Paimon explained to Ying what had just happened.

"So Nasita still hasn't been saved?"

Ying clenched her fist.

Chu Xi: "Traveler, the Grass King is conscious and alright."

Ying: "I know, but..."

Tina told Luminous what Narcida had just said. It was a metaphor that only Luminous, Narcida, and the others knew. Because her consciousness was imprisoned by the Doctor, Narcida could only remind Luminous in this subtle way.

The moon represents Nasita; illusion and lies refer to events during the Flower Goddess's birthday festival; and starlight is about Setare, referring to the children in the desert…

After careful consideration, Ying and Paimon concluded that Nasita wanted them to seek help in the desert.

Tinari was standing nearby, and Paimon immediately asked him about the project the sages were undertaking. Tinari replied that he knew nothing about it, except that the project was related to the restoration of the World Tree.

Chu Xi: "The restoration of the World Tree?!"

Chu Xi's exclamation drew the attention of the others, and Paimon immediately asked:

"Chu Xi, what do you know?"

Chu Xi immediately waved her hand: "No, I'm just surprised. Restoring the World Tree is a huge project."

Paimon nodded in agreement.

Ying: "I just got new information and I roughly know the details of the project."

Paimon: "Huh? Did you see something when you swapped consciousness with Narcida?"

Ying nodded solemnly and said, "The Order of Instruction... is helping the scattered soldiers [become gods]!"

Paimon recoiled in shock: "What?!"

Tinali and Chu Xi were also stunned by Ying's words. Tinali asked, "What's the basis for this?"

Ying immediately recounted what she had seen in her consciousness, including the [divine consciousness] that Haibasha had shown, which Paimon had also seen, as well as the [half-finished divine object] that she had just seen when she and Nasida swapped souls.

Tinari: "..."

The information was too significant, and Tinaari was trying to remain calm.

The Church of Jesus is actually... creating a god...

"So that's how it is... No wonder Hibasa's symptoms are different from those of the other scholars who went mad; it turns out she came into contact with the consciousness of a new god who is being born..."

Paimon: "Did Tinari leave Dawson Forest because of Hibasha?"

Tina: "Yes, I noticed that Haibasha was mentally unstable, but her symptoms were rather unusual, so I secretly took her to the Zen Garden to look for a way to help her recover."

“If we hadn’t done that, Haibasha would probably have been exiled to Aru village in the desert by the disciplinary officials by now.”

"On another note, I knew that the Order of the Church had always looked down on the Little Lucky Grass King, but I really didn't expect them to do something as arrogant and conceited as creating a new god. It was definitely the right thing to do not accept their invitation."

Chapter 184 Aru Village

After the intelligence was almost fully organized, Yingchao asked Tinari about his plans.

Tinari decided to stay and continue looking after Haibasha.

"If you need any help, just come to me."

After Tinari left, both Ying and Paimon looked at Chu Xi.

"Huh? What are you doing...?"

"Chu Xi, we're going to the desert to find someone to help us. What about you?"

"I'll go with you... uh, if it's convenient for you..."

Ying was delighted: "Of course it's convenient for us."

Having decided on their plan, the three of them set off without delay.

On the way, Ying asked Chu Xi about Cyria. Except for the things she had agreed not to tell Cyria, Chu Xi told Ying everything she knew.

Ying noticed that Chu Xi became noticeably more talkative when talking about Celia, just like Cole's behavior when they talked about Amber.

"Chu Xi, do you know how old Celia is this year?"

"Hmm...it seems like...she's eighteen."

Eighteen?

Ying immediately pressed for an answer:

"Do you know when Celia's birthday is?"

Paimon now understood what Luminous was suspecting. Speaking of which, there were many unusual things about Cyria. Could she also be a person with a pure soul?

"I do not know."

Chu Xi's answer disappointed Ying and Paimon; it seemed they would have to ask Cyria in person.

Chu Xi continued, "Aya is an orphan. She was alone from the moment she became conscious. Later, she was adopted by Kavi, and her life gradually improved. She... doesn't know her own birthday."

"Ah, I see. Poor Celia."

Paimon was deeply moved.

She had to live alone at such a young age; no wonder I always thought Cyria was very capable.

The three walked from day to night and decided to spend the night in the Dust Song Pot before continuing their journey the next day.

Inside the Dust Song Pot was a stove prepared by Ying, along with many fresh dishes. Ying personally cooked and showed off her skills.

Although it wasn't as delicious as Xiangling's and Yunling's food, it was already extremely rare to be able to sleep in a bed and eat a hot meal under such conditions.

The Chenge Pot is really convenient!

……

The next morning, the three arrived at Luowanyi.

Paimon jumped up and down excitedly: "We've finally arrived at Kawan Station! It seems quite lively around here. Should we find a place to have a big meal before continuing our journey?"

Ying: "When have I ever skimped on your food?"

Paimon, with his hands behind his back, deliberately acted cute.

"Hehe~ So, if we go past that wall, is that the desert...?"

"I remember this wall is called the 'Sand Barrier Wall,' used to keep out the wind and sand. Such a tall wall must be a miracle of the Great Tree King, right?"

Ying: "It is indeed magnificent and amazing."

Chu Xi shielded her eyes from the sunlight and looked up at the massive sand-proof wall.

All three of them were doing the same thing, tilting their heads back, when suddenly a tall man walked through them.

"...Don't just stand there, come here and follow me."

Paimon clenched his fists behind him, leaned forward, and his eyes widened: "Eh...?"

Ying: "Elhesen..."

When did he arrive here?

Chu Xi had never met Elhesen, but she had heard of him from Cyria.

So Aya's teacher is so young?

When I hear her complaining, I always think she's some kind of ancient relic...

"This way."

Elhesen ran ahead, and the three quickly followed.

The group ran to a higher place and stopped. Elhesen gestured for Ying to look down and hide carefully.

Several members of the gilded troupe were following them the whole time, much to Ying's surprise, as she hadn't noticed them at all.

“You were too careless. The tracking methods of those gilded brigades were very clumsy. You should have been able to detect them.”

"No need for thanks. I have no interest in your favors. I just help people correct their mistakes whenever I see them. It's a habit I developed at the Order Institute."

Elhesen looked at the extra Chu Xi.

Why is this young lady with you?

He had returned to the Order Academy once before, and although he left quickly, he still knew about Chu Xi.

She is a guest from Liyue who lives with Cyria, and the two seem to have a good relationship.

Because of Celia, Ying still instinctively trusted Elhesen to some extent, but she still didn't tell Elhesen everything.

They simply said that they had accepted a commission from Chu Xi, and that they had provoked the Order Academy together, which was why they followed them.

Al-Hysen understood and did not press the matter further.

Then Elhesen explained why he was there and continued his investigation into the knowledge of the divine canisters.

But after seeing Ying and the others there, Elhesen decided to change his plans.

Because back when they were staking out the [Eye of Akhmar] gilded troupe, before their leader was taken away by the disciplinary officer of the Order of the Church, he said something that made Ying's expression complicated, and she fell into deep thought, as if she knew something.

Ying said that things were a bit complicated and it wasn't the right time to talk about them now.
