This statement instantly reminded everyone of Naxida; the two are remarkably similar.

'No one knows I exist' and 'A non-existent god'

Two lonely souls redeemed each other.

"My family must be worried and disappointed about my escape, but... I just don't want to have any regrets."

In the story, Dina Zede begins to share her thoughts with the traveler; she had been wanting to tell these things that had been bottled up inside her for a long time.

Dina Zede's parents shook their heads with tears in their eyes, their hands trembling as they held the book. They had never been disappointed in Dina Zede, never.

They only felt guilty; they blamed themselves for not being able to give their daughter a healthy body.

So they tried their best to make up for it and to pamper her, but they never expected that this pampering would eventually become a constraint.

He loved her and protected her, but ignored her wishes.

Dina Zede knew she was going to die, and she accepted her fate, but she never gave up on life.

Because she had seen birds fly away from the trees outside her window.

The world is so big, she wants to see it.

Because on her birthday, the flowers outside the window bloomed.

The world is so beautiful; she begins to look forward to the next time the flowers bloom.

Because she had seen a gentle god, who was her only friend.

The world is so warm, she's starting to like it, and she doesn't want to die anymore.

Because she has loving parents, the world has begun to like her, and kindness is spreading towards this girl.

Dina Zede's life is nearing its end, and she wants to leave a trace in this world before she dies, a trace to prove that she was once here.

Because life has not only length, but also breadth.

Dina Zede's mother was crying uncontrollably, and her father held her in his arms, though he was also crying, he managed to hold back his tears and not make any big movements.

Desia, who was just comforting Dinazede, is now being comforted by Dinazede.

Death and separation are common, but they always break our hearts.

[Dina Zede stood up: "The smiles on the faces of the people attending the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, and friends like Dixia and you who are supporting me..."]

She smiled gently and looked back at Ying: "At least now there will be many, many people who remember that I existed in this world, right?"

After speaking her mind, Dina Zede felt much more relaxed, and the gentle smile on her face showed a hint of relief.

[Ying's tone was firm: "Yes, I will remember you."]

Paimon said sadly, "As long as you don't forget me, I won't forget you either! Ah... no, even if you forget me, I will still remember you!"

In real life, Dina Zede nearly lost control of her emotions upon seeing the Traveler and Paimon's responses.

This is what Dina Zede wanted. She no longer needed comforting words; what she needed was this reassurance.

Dina Zede is like a valley, and the emptiness of her life makes the valley feel vast and desolate.

The love of parents, the attention of the gods, and the companionship of Dixia are all working hard to decorate the valley, making it no longer look empty and desolate.

At this moment, what travelers are drawn to is not the decorations of the valley, but the shouts echoing through it, filling the mountains.

The shouts from the mountains filled Dina Zede's soul, making her even more determined not to die.

The various experiences described in the book made Dina Zede love Nasita even more, because without Nasita's appearance, she wouldn't have even had the courage to take that step and wouldn't have encountered these things.

Perhaps she had already 'died' that night.

Dina Zede said, "...Yes, there will always be frustrating things in life, but I know we live to have no regrets, right?"

This line is so good; it has inspired many people and rekindled hope in those who had given up on life.

Yes, life is full of regrets, and you'll regret any choice you make. So why dwell on it or regret it? Just move forward.

Dina Zede's heartfelt words made everyone like this strong girl even more.

As time passed in the story, dusk fell, and it was time to dance the Flower Goddess Dance.

We've arrived at the Grand Bazaar, and now it's time for the newcomer to make her appearance. Having just experienced warmth and emotion, let's now adjust our blood pressure.

The Great Sage and Setare stood together, confronting Nel.

[Setale: "The Flora Festival... isn't it strictly forbidden to hold large-scale religious ceremonies in private? The right to organize such events can only be held by the Council of the Church."]

In fact, the Grand Bazaar also holds the Flower Goddess Festival in previous years, but the funds were not as sufficient as this year. So why didn't the Great Sage stop it in the past?

Because he looked down on the people in the Grand Bazaar and on these artists, he believed that without the help of the Church, they couldn't put on any decent festivals.

It's just a bunch of mediocre people indulging in self-congratulation; it won't affect his interests.

But this Flower Goddess Festival is different; it's part of the Great Sage's plan.

When their own interests are at stake, the great sage will naturally come.

However, he still looked down on people like Nilu, so the person talking to Nilu at this moment was Setare, a desert person he also looked down on.

Perhaps in his mind, Nilu was only worthy of talking to the desert people.

The readers have just experienced Dina Zede's 'confession' and are still in a state of emotional distress, so seeing the appearance of the Great Sage at this moment is truly...

The cat sees a mouse with a fish tied up—I'll kill you again and again.

Great Sage, you're a complete bastard! Remember what I said! I'm going to curse you right here!

Come on, all of you, give him a piece of your mind!

A sage? What kind of sage are you? What are you in charge of?

Wise men are supposed to be in charge of knowledge exploration and national peace and prosperity, but you damn bastards don't care about anything, leaving the common people crying for their parents.

You fucking sit there on top of the Church, all high and mighty, wearing your fur coat inside out and acting all sage, what kind of sage are you? You're a piece of shit!

I'll fuck your mother! I'm telling you, I'll kill you within three days! I'll organize another group to go to the Order of the Fathers and kick you to the ground, you believe me?

She was already in a bad mood, and she couldn't possibly take it out on Dina Zede.

Now that the Great Sage has appeared, the readers finally have an outlet for their frustrations, and they've all become less friendly.

The Great Sage is like a spittoon; the Teyvats, who didn't want to spit anywhere, finally found a place to spit and talk.

Now Teyvat is going to become a civilized world, so civilized, no one spits on the ground.

In the story, Setare is still not entirely loyal to the Faculty and is somewhat unwilling to argue with Nel, so the Great Sage speaks up.

[Hazard: "Art...dance...in this land of wisdom and reason, don't you feel ashamed to pursue such frivolous and empty things?"]

Kavi: I'm ashamed of you, you great sage, I am XXX, you are XX, XXXX.

Chapter 528 The Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival That Cannot Be Held? (Bonus Chapter for Gifts)

As a great architect, it is no exaggeration to call Kavi an artist, which is why he was even angrier at this moment.

Unfortunately, he was still too polite to say those words, though he felt resentful.

Not only did Kavi want to curse, but Yun Jin also felt dizzy and disoriented. Wasn't this just pointing fingers at them and cursing them?

I want to swear, but I'm too polite to do it, and it's so frustrating.

How is pursuing art considered frivolous and empty? How is it shameful? You wicked sage!

Yun Jin doesn't know how to curse, but luckily she has someone around her who does. They're currently unleashing a torrent of vulgar Liyue language, making Yun Jin's face turn red, but it's very satisfying.

Yae no Miko was equally angry; she hadn't expected the Great Sage to attack art and dance.

One of the primary duties of a priestess is to dance for the gods...

This was the duty of the palace priest, meaning that even the Fox Palace was insulted. How could Yae no Miko not be angry?

Fu Ningna was furious. She could curse, but she cursed in a coquettish way. She usually called Lin Qiu "stinky Lin Qiu" or "bad Lin Qiu," but she dared not curse the Great Sage, for fear that he would enjoy it.

By negating art, the Great Sage was, in a sense, directly negating Fontaine... Moreover, Funina herself is an artist, so it would be strange if Funina wasn't angry.

She was so angry that she stomped her feet, her little leather shoes making a 'clattering' sound. Luckily, it was a private room and she didn't disturb the neighbors.

While everyone was getting angry, the Great Sage was still dealing damage.

"For all scholars who seek truth, reality, and justice, the gods created the paradise of Sumeru... and yet you people seek to defile it."

Mondstadt and Fontaine were now utterly enraged. What did they mean by "defilement"? Their gods loved music and dance! How dare you mock our gods?!

The adventurers from both countries now regretted not kicking him a few more times back then.

Damn it, there were just too many people, I couldn't squeeze in!

Barbara was about to faint. The sage's words could be interpreted as art being a defilement of the gods.

What is Barbara's identity? She is a nun and an idol. She is the priestess of the wind god and also a great idol of Mondstadt!

This was practically an insult directed at her, and as a devout Sister Barbara, she couldn't tolerate such words.

However, these artists are all quite refined, and like Yun Jin and the others, they don't know how to swear. They were so angry that they almost cried, feeling very wronged.

Upon seeing this, Rosalia spoke up, and the world seemed to slow down. Rosalia's mouth opened and closed, and a bunch of obscene words that should not have come from the nun's mouth shot out like a machine gun.

Barbara was stunned. As a nun, she should have stopped Rosalia, but it felt so good...

Lord Barbatos, please forgive my dereliction of duty!

Rosalia said, "You made up for my lack of relaxation in not liking to go to work, and I'll make up for your inability to swear."

This section shows everyone the ups and downs of public outrage: public toilets are being pelted with bricks every day.

The Sumeru people were furious, and they didn't distinguish between deserts and rainforests, because weren't the Flower Goddess and the Tree King dancing? Wasn't the Red King providing the accompaniment?

The Great Sage cursed all three gods at once.

The people of the desert and rainforest have never been so united against a common enemy. Indeed, unity requires a common foe.

[Nilu retorted: "No, I believe that the gods have never rejected art, just as the goddess of flowers once danced for our gods..."]

The readers nodded enthusiastically, "Well said! With all those quotations, let's see how you refute that!"

Hazard: "With your level of knowledge, I don't think you're qualified to debate with me. What you should be doing now is getting someone to remove these ridiculous setups as soon as possible."

You X, XXXX, XXXXX.

If you can't win an argument, you just stop talking, right? You're just going to resort to authoritarianism, aren't you?

This is the first time everyone has been so angry after reading so many prophetic books; they're so angry their livers hurt.

I used to always have tissues on hand, but now I feel like I need to keep blood pressure medication on hand too.

There was another major reason for their anger: everyone was truly powerless against the Great Sage. In Sumeru, he was the biggest academic tyrant and a dictator under an oligarchy.

The thought that such a disgusting person is living a better life than themselves makes readers want to go to Sumeru and beat him up right now.

Thankfully, the real-life sage has already been captured, otherwise it would be infuriating.

[Hazard: "After returning, have the scribe draft a decree prohibiting public art performances before the next 'Tibetan Recognition Day,' and then announce it to the public via the void."]

This statement reveals that although Sumeru is an oligarchy ruled by six sages, the great sage is actually a dictator who can change laws at will.

Fortunately, the clerk was Elhesen, which meant we had a job.

After Hazard left, he whispered, "The Flower Goddess's Birthday...you should all celebrate the birth of your goddess."

Hazard left, and the traveler and Dinazedai rushed over to check on Nel.

Actually, the Traveler wanted to rush over and elbow the Great Sage from the very beginning, but was stopped by Dina Zede.

This is, after all, Mount Sumeru, the territory of the Great Sage. Here, once you've crossed the Great Sage's path, you'll find it impossible to move an inch.

Dina Zede and the traveler tried to comfort Nel, but Nel wasn't one to give up easily.

"Let's go somewhere else to perform, somewhere the people from the Order of the Church can't find us," said Nel.

So what if dancing isn't allowed in Sumeru? We can just go to another country, Liyue or Fontaine would be fine.

However, according to the timeline of the prophecy, Liyue is not a good choice. You can't just go there and ask someone who just lost a god, "Can you celebrate my god's birthday?"

In fact, it's impossible to go to another place now; time, audience, and set design are all problems.

It seems that giving up is the only option now, and Dina Zede is comforting Nel.
