What can the Little Grass God do? Comfort the people? Control the sandstorms? Or fabricate those absurd fairy tales? These are all things that the Order of the Church can easily do as well.
Azhar meant that Nasita did things that humans could do, while gods should be able to do things that some people cannot.
However, the Sumeru people booed constantly at Hazard's speech, saying, "What can you possibly do?"
Putting everything else aside, which of those three things did you actually do? Provide relief to the people? Control sandstorms? A fairy tale?
They've done a lot of the opposite: exploiting the people, exacerbating disasters, and incidentally banning 'art'. Damn it, it's better not to say anything, the more you talk about it, the angrier you get.
A while ago, everyone's tempers had cooled down a bit because the Great Sage hadn't appeared, but now they've all remembered it.
Keqing looked down on the Great Sage from the bottom of her heart. She always wanted to prove that humans were not inferior and that humans could survive even without gods.
So she worked hard for it, doing all kinds of jobs, going to the grassroots every day to work with the people, and she hardly dared to rest in order to prove that humans were no less than gods.
But the Great Sage had the complete opposite idea of Keqing's; he wanted to prove that humanity could not live without gods.
When it came to comforting the people and controlling the sandstorms, Hazard was dismissive, as if such things could be done easily.
He probably thought that even the poorest people ate fish and meat every day, so giving them some 'knowledge' would be enough to provide relief.
This really infuriated Keqing, Qin, and the others. They had all done these things in real life, helping the people and fighting against nature, so they knew how difficult it was.
The great sage thought he could accomplish these things by simply sitting there signing two bills without moving an inch, which shows that he never considered benefiting the people or going down to the grassroots level.
It wasn't just him; most of the great sages throughout history had never done this, because anyone who had done it would know how difficult it was.
As for the third point, fairy tales, needless to say, the audience at this point did not yet know how amazing those 'fairy tales' were.

Character Voice - Nasita: About Fairy Tales
"You mean this... Well, if I had to describe it, it's like the moon in a lake. It seems unreal, but what it reflects is reality."
Chapter 635 Elhesen's Performance Begins
Hazard doesn't understand politics or people's livelihoods. He's just an arrogant scholar, unlike Ningguang. He's never experienced hardship, so he has absolutely no space or value for discussion on these topics.
If we're talking about someone who doesn't understand the plight of ordinary people, he's even more outrageous than that dragon, Navelette.
In this respect, Shadow is more reliable than Hazard, because Shadow truly desires a better life for his people, but he is powerless to do so, while the Great Sage genuinely doesn't care about the Sumeru people.
If negotiation is impossible, what can be done?
Al-Hysen: It's simple, I'll just take action, won't I?
Having said that, Elhesen no longer concealed his aura—the pinnacle of his acting prowess!
[Elhesen: "Just as you predicted, Great Sage, they are indeed dangerous beings..."]
"Not only does he want to rebel against the Council of the Church, but he also easily leads scholars astray. It seems my mission is indeed worthwhile."
What to do? Al-Hysen surrendered immediately, admitting that he was a double agent.
Elheisen, what are you doing?! Without the Travelers, how are we supposed to deal with the Order of the Church?!
The audience in Sumeru stared wide-eyed. Was Elhesen a traitor?
No, if he sided with the Church of England from the beginning, he can't be called a traitor...
Regardless, everyone is on the Traveler's side and is very unhappy about Elhesen's 'betrayal'.
However, the Sumerian people still considered themselves intelligent, so they pondered a lot: Could this all be an act? Was the purpose to help Elhesen regain the Great Sage's trust?
This is just speculation, because people are more inclined to believe that Al-Hysen is a good person, hence this speculation.
The audience in Fontaine didn't think Elhesen had betrayed them, because those present were either intelligent people or people who knew Elhesen well.
Even someone as simple-minded as D'Artagnan could see that things weren't so simple.
Not to mention Fufu. Despite her seemingly silly demeanor, she's incredibly shrewd when it comes to interpersonal relationships and can spot problems at a glance.
Fufu's usual silly demeanor stems from her sincerity towards her friends. While Fumina might not be the most cunning when it comes to playing tricks, she's definitely not the one who lacks common sense.
Only Arataki Ichito couldn't see the problem and genuinely believed that Elhesen had betrayed them. He even felt sorry for Elhesen, thinking that such a good person was on the other side.
He didn't think Elhesen was a traitor. After all, if he was an undercover agent, he wasn't one of their own from the beginning, so the word "traitor" didn't apply to him.
So Ichidou wasn't emotionally agitated; he just hoped the traveler would give Alheisen a few 'personality correction punches' to make him understand which side he should be on.
In the movie, Paimon's face was full of surprise, and his eyes were filled with disbelief mixed with a sense of grievance, the grievance of being betrayed.
The visuals were very impactful on the big screen, making the audience feel sorry for the characters.
Paimon, looking aggrieved, asked, "Elheisen...? Are you talking about us?"
Ignoring Paimon completely, Elhesen casually pulled out a report containing a detailed summary of the traveler's intelligence.
Paimon, his voice laced with grievance and anger, cried out, "Elheisen! You...you really are still on the side of the Council of the Fathers!"
[Paimon's tearful voice: "We finally managed to trust you..."]
[The traveler chimed in: "We've really been tricked, Elheisen, you bastard..."]
Did he really go to such lengths to save the little grass god? Hackson, you bastard...
Kavi was already on the verge of bursting into laughter. He knew Elhesen well, so the thought of what Elhesen might do next made him want to laugh.
The traveler in the scene is being controlled by guards and seems to be able to only complain a few times.
Azar was very satisfied with Elhesen's report; with such detailed information, the Void could now predict travelers.
Everyone assumed that Elhesen, who had betrayed the traveler, would be trusted by the Great Sage, but the Great Sage bluntly stated:
"Isn't sacrificing travelers here part of your plan?"
The audience was shocked, partly because they were surprised that they had guessed correctly; it really was a 'betrayal performance'.
On the other hand, they were surprised by the great sage. This guy could understand it even without a God's-eye view, so he wasn't stupid.
Because of all the previous actions, everyone thought the Great Sage was a big jerk, so they were surprised when the Great Sage saw through their disguise.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The great sage simply doesn't understand politics, strategy, the divine, governance, the needs of the people, or how to fool the masses, but he's not stupid.
[Elheisen: "...Lord Hazard, I understand your implication. I've been following your plan all along, and now you're doubting me?"]
"Again," clearly this isn't the first time Hazard has suspected Elhesen.
Seeing this, Kavi was secretly pleased. Elhesen had been humiliated. Eat more!
He never wins a verbal argument with the two of them, so it's not easy to see Elhesen get his comeuppance. This must be a picture to frame in the room, right?
Kavi knew it was acting; in fact, he felt good precisely because it was acting.
He would be unhappy and even angry if he saw Elhesen get his comeuppance.
He never managed to make Alhesen lose, so why should anyone else?
In the movie, the great sage is still explaining his reasoning, which is roughly as follows: El-Hysen disappeared in Kavan, went to the desert, and most likely met Seno there.
The Church has not received any information from Elhesen for such a long time. He has been associated with the pro-grass god faction for so long, and he may be instigated.
The Great Sage only said it was possible, a 50% chance? A 70% chance? It's unclear, but whatever the probability, as long as there's a possibility, that's enough for the Great Sage to distrust Elhesen.
[Hazard: "If I'm not mistaken, in order to rescue the Little Lucky Grass King and thwart our 'great undertaking'... you must have made two preparations."]
"Taking advantage of 'Knowledge Day' to infiltrate the Order House, as Elheisen's scribe, there's a good chance he can directly find a way to rescue the Little Lucky Grass King."
"And once your intentions are discovered, Alheisen will sacrifice the Travelers to prove his innocence and continue to infiltrate the Church House to find a solution."
This speculation actually makes some sense, or rather, it makes a lot of sense.
In fact, most viewers shared this view, believing that Al Heysen's actions were merely a case of "sacrificing a pawn to save the king," and no one thought he had betrayed the party.
But because of this, the audience began to worry. It seems that the Great Sage saw through Elhesen's plan. What should they do now?

Chapter 636 Elhesen wins MVP
What to do? Maybe we should use the Traveler's super muscles. In the movie, the Traveler doesn't seem to be far from the Great Sage.
This is a classic question: which is faster, Zhou Yu's cup or Guan Yu's sword?
Should the guards subdue the traveler first, or should the traveler subdue the great sage first?
It seems that after using my brain for so long, I still have to use my muscles to solve the problem. It turns out that 'classical mechanics' is indeed more effective at solving problems.
However, this idea is just something to vent one's anger in; the success rate of actually carrying it out is too low. Not to mention the guards around the perimeter, there's another group outside.
To be honest, the 30-person group is actually quite strong. Even the Gold Platinum Troupe, which is so strong, couldn't break through the 30-person group, which shows the combat power of the 30-person group.
The Traveler is a capable fighter, but she's not Superman and can't single-handedly destroy a nation.
So what to do? Elhesen gave an answer that no one had expected.
[Elhesen suddenly became hysterical: "You say I betrayed the Council of the Church... but you, Azar, you betrayed the entire Sumeru, you betrayed the gods!"]
Elhesen suddenly became extremely angry, leaving the audience completely bewildered. Why did he start with zero frames? He was so leisurely and methodical just moments before.
Suddenly, it was as if the berserker had gone berserk. In order to show Elhesen's madness, the animation even added a 'red-eye effect' to him.
The red eyes look eerie and ominous; one look is enough to tell that this person has entered a state of rage.
The sudden change caught readers off guard. What was going on? Given Alheisen's personality, even if things were exposed, he shouldn't be acting so frantically.
Kavi was laughing so hard. If he weren't in a movie theater and worried about disturbing others, he would have applauded. This was definitely worth the ticket price!
In the movie, a can of divine knowledge falls next to Al-Hysen, the Void Terminal turns red, and he walks slowly toward Hazard as if he has gone mad.
I didn't expect it to be resolved this way in the end. Why not just use the 'red form' from the beginning?
This scene seemed familiar to everyone; they felt they had seen it before in Port Omos. It seemed that Elhesen had truly gone mad.
Why bother? Has Elhesen really turned into a mad scholar?
Most viewers still felt something was off; it didn't fit Al Heysen's character.
[Elhesen roared: "Hazard—"]
With a roar, Elhesen charged straight at Hazar, but under the protection of the thirty-man group, he missed and fell onto the table.
He looked so pathetic; even when he was 'crazy,' he still couldn't do anything.
Seeing this, Kavi finally couldn't hold back his laughter and slapped his thigh wildly, specifically Elhesen's.
Al-Hysen had no objection to this and continued watching the movie without a care.
In the movie, he was knocked unconscious by a guard with a club, and he and the traveler were imprisoned together, although they were imprisoned in different places.
Elhesen will most likely be banished directly, while the traveler will be locked in solitary confinement.
As Elhesen was being escorted away, the camera gave a close-up of the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile.
Sure enough, he was faking it!
The audience was satisfied; this is where close-ups should be! What was with the close-ups of Hazard earlier?
After Elhesen's performance, the camera focused on Nel, who was watching the spectacle outside the monastery; it was her turn to perform.
Nilu also smiled and nodded slightly to Elhesen, as if they were on the same wavelength.
That makes sense, it's obviously a plan!
And not only did the plan work, the people featured in the close-up shots were also perfect – all handsome men and beautiful women!
Just as they were having a good time, the camera focused on the old man, Azhar, as he prepared for Tibet Day.
Unlike Elhesen, who was exiled to Aru Village, the Traveler is being treated as a threat and is currently being held in solitary confinement, under the Great Sage's surveillance.
Paimon's tears behind bars: "Waaah—don't lock us up! Let us out!"
"Waaah—"
She was clinging to the iron bars of the window, crying and screaming. The traveler behind her said helplessly, "That's enough. She's gone, why are you still acting like this?"
