They would rather die than fall into the hands of Sino, which shows Sino's 'prestige'.
This is why Tinari asked Sino how he interrogated Hazard; Sino's interrogation skills are beyond question.
[Morgi defended himself: "We were all acting under orders! You should know that, right? These things, these things, could never have been done by one person alone!"]
That's true. Just like Setare, someone who is pushed along by 'power' can't resist even if they want to.
The only one who could possibly rebel against the Church on his own is Tinari, and as long as Tinari doesn't leave the Church of Daochenglin, there's nothing the Church can do about him.
But bad things are done, and besides, these people are different from Setare.
Setare was truly being pushed along. These people were actually acting voluntarily, but they only started to regret it now that they've been caught by Sino.
They don't regret doing these things; they regret being arrested.
Al-Hysen didn't want to waste words with them and asked directly:
"So, what exactly is the purpose of having you do so many things?"
Readers do know what they're going to do: create gods, right?
To everyone's surprise, didn't the Travelers already know about this? How come Elhesen and the others didn't know?
Traveler, are you really that stubborn?
Just as he was thinking this, the traveler stepped forward and asked:
"The sages want to create gods, don't they?"
[Sino: "—!"]
[Erhesen: "......"]
reader:"...?"
So, is this information only being shared with everyone now? Traveler, your vigilance is fluctuating wildly!
Sometimes we really should learn from the 'fine traditions' of the Raiden family.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; travelers are wanted everywhere, so it's reasonable for them to be cautious.
Morgi, both surprised and astonished, asked, "...How...how did you know?"
They originally intended to keep this secret, but they never expected the traveler to find out.
This also shows that their rank is much higher than Setare's. Setare, who was really being pushed around, had no idea what the Council of the Church was going to do.
These two were considered confidants of the Great Sage and knew a great deal of information. Now it was time for Seno to make his appearance.

"Sino's 'trial' seems to be slightly different from what I understand..."
The final discussion in Chapter 604
The two scholars' earlier claims of being forced were just a bluff; they simply didn't want to be punished and wanted to shirk responsibility. In reality, they knew a great deal.
At this point, it was clear they couldn't escape; the travelers knew far more information than they had imagined.
This made Morgi a little confused. "You all know this, so why are you asking me?"
Another scholar chose to confess directly, saying that at this point, continuing to conceal the truth would be worse than confessing and receiving leniency.
[Judar: "The Theological Council is carrying out a grand plan that could change the world. They want to create new gods of their own, gods belonging to Sumeru."]
["Although it still appears prosperous on the surface, after the passing of the Great Compassion Tree King, there have been almost no further qualitative breakthroughs in the study of Mount Sumeru..."]
After imprisoning Nasita, the Great Sage began to control Mount Sumeru. However, unfortunately, the Great Sages of each generation were too incompetent or too cowardly, and there was no breakthrough in five hundred years.
They dared not venture into the unknown; without the guidance of the gods, they became cowards.
Therefore, the Church Council once again felt the urge to seek knowledge of the gods, but they certainly dared not release the grass god who was imprisoned by them.
They are narrow-minded and judge others by their own standards, so naturally they dare not gamble that the grass god will let them go.
Therefore, the Council of the Church intends to create a new god in order to gain the wisdom of the gods.
The Doctrine Council is utterly contradictory: it abandons gods while creating them; it speaks of human wisdom while pursuing divine wisdom.
Zhudar confessed everything he knew, and he told everyone he knew.
For example, the Church noticed the limitations of its knowledge and the withering of the World Tree, but they were helpless, so they sought the wisdom of the gods.
Just then, the doctor arrived. It was a case of sexual repression meeting sexual hunger, and the two groups immediately started having sex.
At first, the people of the Church looked down on the Doctor and rejected him because he was a scholar who had been expelled from the Church.
But the doctor changed the attitude of the scholars at the Academy with just one sentence.
[Middle: "He asked them, 'Do you want to create gods?'"]
The allure of this phrase to the members of the Order of the Church is no less than that of a person of the opposite sex who is naked and beckoning each other with their fingers.
Accurately grasping market pain points, addressing customer needs, understanding user perception, and constructing a brand-new ecosystem—that's what the top-selling winter sales champion is all about.
D'Artagnan: In front of the Doctor, I'm like a greenhorn.
What the Doctor said was exactly what the Council of the Church needed, and then the Council of the Church became the Doctor's 'subordinates'.
[Erhesen: "...this is the folly and arrogance at the end of academia."]
Although Al-Hysen appears to be free and easy, he actually dislikes breaking rules and crossing boundaries.
Breaking the rules isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not all rules should be broken.
Now that the Order of the Church has broken the rules, the Sumeru people are in grave danger, and with everyone feeling insecure, the social structure will fall into chaos.
This is why the Sumerian people in the story didn't know that the 'cycle' was created by the Church Council. Otherwise, the Church Council, having lost its credibility and legitimacy, would not have been able to provide the Sumerian people with a sense of security, and Sumeru itself would have fallen into chaos.
Therefore, readers overwhelmingly agree with Al-Hysen's sharp commentary, believing that these sages are perhaps too extreme.
[Mirdall: "The Council first spent a long time building the 'body of the god' based on an exquisitely crafted android."]
This statement has left readers somewhat puzzled. Everyone already knows that it was the stragglers who became gods, but the question is, didn't the stragglers have their own consciousness?
Using puppets to build the body of a god? But what about his own consciousness?
At this point, the readers were unaware that the stragglers did indeed possess self-awareness, but according to the Council of the Order's plan, 'he' was not the consciousness of a god.
After absorbing the knowledge contained in the divine canister, the consciousness of the 'god' will take over the body of the stragglers, and only then will a new god truly be born.
As for the stragglers themselves, he seemed to have no objection.
Midar continued, "With the help of the 'Doctor,' the Void at its highest output successfully extracted the power contained within the 'Heart of God,' making it the 'Core of the God.'"
"Then they proposed that the new god should possess 'divine wisdom.' For this, a large amount of canned divine knowledge would be needed."
Now everything is connected, but there is one thing that puzzles Elhesen: how does the Council of the Church determine that the knowledge contained in these divine canisters is truly divine knowledge?
In response, Midar stated that the Church has been studying this for hundreds of years and still doesn't know why the scholars went mad; what humans cannot understand must be the knowledge of the gods!
Little did they know that it was actually 'forbidden knowledge,' a remnant of Crazy Thursday. If it were to spread throughout the world, 'black water' would flow across Mount Sumeru, drowning it even faster than Fontainebleau.
This statement also reveals that most scholars in the Council of the Church have a state of blind faith in the 'wisdom of the gods'.
They would think that the wisdom of the gods far surpasses that of mortals, and is even something that mortals can never understand. In other words, they have never actually believed in the wisdom of mortals.
'The wisdom of the gods'—as those who have just read the story of the ruins know very well—is not the wisdom of the gods; it is forbidden knowledge.
The reason I can't understand it isn't because it's profound, but because it's all 'garbled text'!
Scholars don't go mad because the wisdom of gods is beyond human comprehension; they go mad because they come into contact with forbidden knowledge.
The traveler in the story also discovered a blind spot: whether or not this could create a god is another matter, but even if it could, the one created wouldn't be the Great Tree King, would it?
The Church keeps saying how much they love and respect the Great Tree King, and that they imprisoned the Little Grass God because of their love for the Great Tree King. But what is the result? Is this all the love and respect you have?
[Erhesen: "The Council of the Church doesn't care who the gods are; they merely crave the power the gods use to control wisdom."]
Al-Hysen's latest sharp critique has truly revealed the true face of the Order of the Fathers.
No, we've seen through the true colors of the Order of the Fathers long ago, and now we're practically seeing their assholes too.
The Church yearns for the power and wisdom of the gods, which these little grass gods actually possess.
However, the little grass god when she first awakened did not have this. At that time, Nasita's wisdom and strength were similar to those of a child, which is why she was imprisoned without resistance.
But Nasita already possesses all of these, yet she herself is imprisoned, and the Heart of God is used to manipulate the void.
The kind-hearted Nasita uses her divine power to protect the people of Sumeru. However, those Nasita protects are almost all ordinary rainforest people and desert people. The members of the Church have never seen Nasita's divine power.
Therefore, the Church never took this deity seriously, and when it wanted divine wisdom, it never considered Narcida out of fear.
Poor Nasita was like a non-existent radish.

Chapter 605 Focus on the Book of Prophecy
The people in the story all fell silent, suppressing their anger.
The gods are right there, yet they use the lives of the people of Sumeru to create some unreliable new god. In the end, it's all for the selfish desires of the Church Council!
They wanted an all-knowing, wise god, but they didn't want to be punished.
They are all scholars, how come these wise men of Mount Sumeru are so timid?
His ideas were incomprehensible to other scholars, such as Xianyun, Guizhong, and Tinali.
An omniscient god knows everything; if such a god truly exists, he would know the upper limit of all knowledge.
But once people know the 'upper limit of knowledge,' will they still have the desire to climb to the top?
When you reach the summit, you'll find that the "eyes" of the gods are already there. Is there any sense of accomplishment left?
Humans are driven by curiosity to keep climbing because they don't know the height of the sky or what the view from the mountaintop is like, all in order to see through the clouds and mist.
Even if one generation can't see it, generations will always see it, like a 'star that never returned'.
For them, to hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening is enough!
But when all knowledge has an upper limit, and it's laid out there so clearly by God, will people still have the motivation to climb it?
The climb was arduous, but reaching the summit only confirmed the 'omniscience' of the gods.
Humble, insignificant, like a speck of dust in the universe, despair.
Therefore, the silence of the god of wisdom is deafening.
The wise man never gives answers; he only asks questions.
Unfortunately, this is something the sages of the Church will never understand; they will only seek answers from the gods.
[Erhesen: "Some creatures are phototactic, yearning for light throughout their lives. For sages, only the existence of a deity, symbolizing the pinnacle of wisdom, can offer them hope."]
"This is also a kind of phototaxis. If the god of wisdom does not exist, for many scholars, it means groping in the dark their entire lives."
Mavica clicked her tongue in amazement; she was familiar with that metaphor.
Scholars from various countries shook their heads, having lost even the courage to grope in the dark. The sages of the Church... have they been spoiled too much by the god of wisdom?
That's right, it's spoiling.
Although Mondstadt people are often described as spoiled giant babies, they have never seen the Anemo Archon since birth, nor do they know what powers the Anemo Archon has, yet they still live very well.
The fact that the wind god 'did not exist' actually allowed them to adapt to human life. They still believed in the wind god, truly believing in the deity himself.
Even if the gods suddenly disappeared, it wouldn't affect their lives.
If a deity appears, they will cheer and celebrate for him.
Looking at Mount Sumeru, once the Great Compassion Tree King was lost, all sorts of problems followed, and even its proud academic pursuits saw no development.
This is all because of the Great Tree King's overindulgence. When she was alive, she paved the road too smoothly, which led to the fact that after she disappeared, the giant babies in the Order Academy would clamor for a new mother because they were 'afraid of the dark'.
