Chapter 657 Nashenjuna's Rebellion
“Your Excellency, I will not be joining you at the celebration.”
Nassenjuna smiled wryly at Slusa, "I still need to prepare some things for the departure ceremony tomorrow. Could I study these spiritual lights for one night? After all, tomorrow's ceremony is crucial..."
"I disagree!"
Zhu's smile froze, and she turned to stare at Xu Ning. "Why?"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and chuckled, "Look, here's the thing: now that the five spirits are gathered, it's the most glorious moment for our Lady Slusa to return to the sea of flowers with all her glory, for those foolish Michael and foolish Rasharu to admire."
"As the saying goes, if one cannot return home in glory, it is no different from wearing fine clothes at night. Tomorrow will surely be the day when Lady Silsa achieves great things, but it may also be the day of her destined sacrifice. If tonight we cannot leave her heroic figure with the Five Spirits in the memories of many flower spirits in the sea of flowers, then will the most beautiful chapter be missing from the praises of future generations?"
Slusa was instantly captivated by Xu Ning's eloquent words.
Paimon whispered in Kong's ear, "Look at this drunkard, he looks exactly like a treacherous minister."
Sora looked at his older brother Xu with amusement. He hadn't expected his brother to use such methods to prevent Slusa from handing over the Radiant Song to Nasenjuna, who clearly had ill intentions.
And I must say, the results are quite good.
Slusa was clearly on Xu Ning's side, and coughed lightly.
"Well, as I said in my hymn to the Lord, you don't need to worry about the rest. Zuerwan also knows the ritual of departure. I'll just ask him. You just wait for me to complete this great undertaking."
Naxian Zhu exclaimed in astonishment, "Are you trying to kill the pack animals after they've served their purpose?!"
"You all really helped me a lot. For example, Sluza, although she was never very useful, still managed to get the Flower Crown and collect the Aura. And you guys, after hearing your evaluation of the White Swan Knight, I was quite impressed with you."
“However, I wanted to spare your lives, but you insisted on blocking my way.”
Na Xianzhu pulled a crossbow from his waist and grinned maliciously, "Then don't blame me."
“Hey, hey,” Xu Ning exaggeratedly stretched out his hands and pressed them in the air, “Let’s talk this out. Can you put that thing away first? It looks kind of scary.”
"No, the key question is, what do you want to do with this 'Swan Song'? You didn't say. What if you want to sacrifice yourself for our Flower Spirit with the 'Swan Song'? We might be moved and grant your wish."
Na Xianzhu sneered, "Do you think I'm as easy to fool as that simpleton, Slusa?"
“However,” Nashenjuna pondered for a moment and said, “I am not afraid to tell you that I need the Radiant Song to reverse the ritual of crossing over, to break the seal above the Black Abyss, and to bring the ancient war back to Teyvat.”
Kong and Paimon were both stunned. "Shouldn't the Jiaolun Group be here guarding the seal and suppressing the Black Abyss? Now you want to break the seal and betray your duty. What good will that do you?"
"Ha, duty? Ridiculous!"
Na Xianzhu said coldly, "Haven't you considered that the duty of the 'Corrections Group' is to fabricate myths?"
"If that scribe hadn't given me his old notes and logs, I wouldn't have known that the so-called 'Corrections Group' was actually the descendants of the warriors who resisted the Black Tide here back then. That's why the Church refused to accept the 'Corrections Group' even at the cost of its life."
Xu Ning shook his head and said, "These are all just your guesses."
Naxian Zhuna said excitedly, "Guess? What if it's not a guess? You know, besides some dark creations, there are many monsters in the Black Tide. Those are transformed from Tuha people, just like us survivors, they are our compatriots! We imprisoned them in the dark space..."
Xu Ning no longer wanted to continue debating with Na Xianzhu.
This guy spends his days loitering beside the Black Abyss of Tu Ni. Perhaps influenced by the power of the abyss, his mind has become insane.
But before Nassenjuna could finish speaking, he raised his chin.
"That thing outside that you call the celestial phenomenon of burning truth, do you know it? It is also recorded in the records of the Tuha people."
"However, unlike this name, they call it the Celestial Phenomenon of Thirst for Truth, exactly the opposite, aren't they? The Tuha people believe that this phenomenon reflects the reality beyond the heavens. So I want to bring the truth to this world, the reality I have personally uncovered..."
Kong and Paimon realized that the leader of the hypocritical group in front of them probably had some mental problems.
Paimon glanced at the crossbow that Sinju hadn't put away. "If we don't give it to you, are you going to use that crossbow to kill us?"
砸？
Nashen Zhuna looked at his crossbow, which was already strung, and immediately realized that the little thing was mocking him.
Kong was an honest man, and he advised Na Xianzhu, "If you are planning to rob me by force, I can tell you clearly that you really can't do it."
Na Xianzhu sneered, "I'm just a scholar who enjoys studying ancient texts. Did you really think I was going to deal with you with this broken crossbow? Sorry to keep you waiting, priest of the Black Abyss!"
From the shadows of the mechanical corner, an Abyss Messenger with the Blade of the Tide on his arm armor slowly floated out.
The abyss messenger of the raging torrents said slowly, “Stranger, give me the light in your hands; it is more useful to our power than to you.”
Xu Ning and Kong saw the Abyss Apostle and exchanged a glance. They remained silent for a long time, waiting for him to continue calling for more people.
But after a long time, neither the monster's other companions nor the blonde girl appeared behind it.
"Sigh, well, it looks like this guy took it upon himself to do this mission again... Oh well, it'll be much easier to get started."
"Kong, you go deal with this apostle from the abyss. I'll keep an eye on that former leader of the Theory Group."
Kong drew the bladeless sword from his waist and charged straight at Xu Ning as instructed.
Xu Ning casually grabbed the crossbow bolt that had been fired from the crossbow, twisted it between two fingers, and crushed the shaft.
"Don't waste your energy. After doing something as important as breaking the seal, it would be unfair to the plants and trees around us to spare your life."
"But before you die, I'll give you a heads-up: I'm taking all your messy books with me, so that no more people like you will emerge from your 'Corrective Theory Group.' Uh, by the way, let me ask you another question: in your 'Corrective Theory Group,' you're probably the only one who's not normal, right?"
After asking his question, Xu Ning casually struck Zhu Na on the head, ending his life.
Then she reached into his pocket and took out the diary he had been looking at.
The notebook was titled "Rene's Investigation Notes".
Xu Ning casually flipped through two pages and was at a loss for words. When René wrote this diary, he was probably just a little boy.
Moreover, there are so many obscure names and items, and many of the names were even given by this kid. It's no wonder that the late Zhu treated them like treasures and held them in his arms all day long.
Perhaps I'll only be interested in flipping through it when I have some free time.
However, Xu Ning picked up and read the diary page that had fallen out of the book.
"Ha, this Nassenju has even compiled your information. Let me see. When the Order of the Church came here to investigate the Aura, you were a patrol officer here. Then you were tempted by the Abyss, left the group, and disappeared."
With a sharp shout from Kong, the patrol officer who had gone astray years ago was completely freed from the shadows of darkness.
"Alright, let's go. On the way back, let's stop by the camp of the Jiaolun Group and let them know about what happened to Nassenjuna."
After leaving the ruins, Xu Ning saw that Slusa had remained silent ever since that Susan turned against them.
Xu Ning couldn't help but joke, "My Lord, cheer up! The celebratory feast is about to begin, with delicious food and drinks..."
Slusa interrupted Xu Ning, "Flower spirits don't need to eat. I know what you want to say, but I don't need your comfort. I know I've been completely fooled. Just if this gets out, I feel like I'll be so embarrassed that I'll die on the edge of the flower sea."
"I might as well give you all the Radiant Song. As for the sealing, you can go to Rasharu or Mihir. I don't want to care about anything else."
Is this because they've been hit too hard and are giving up?
Then all our hard work before was for nothing? What about the celestial phenomena of Burning Truth?
This is a utopian notion of a strong sense of global responsibility.
Then all our hard work beforehand has been for nothing? What about the commission we received?
This is what Paimon, who has a strong sense of responsibility for making money, thought of.
The two guys turned their pleading eyes to Xu Ning. "Big brother/drunkard, please think of a way to save this world/my little money!"
Xu Ning lived up to expectations and immediately blocked Silsa's path.
"Giving up halfway is not something a mature Flower Spirit Warrior would do!"
Xu Ning coaxed the sulking Hua Ling, saying, "You just dumped everything on Rasharu and Mihir, but everyone knows that neither of them is as capable as you. You have countless advantages that they don't have..."
"For example?" Sluza looked at Xu Ning hopefully and pressed, "For example, what are the advantages?"
Xu Ning's mouth dropped open. "Ah, the advantage is... well, it's empty, what do you think..."
Sora: "I said, oh, I said, well, Slutsa, you...you're...um, Paimon, you tell me?"
"Do I really need to hesitate for so long? I can't even say it! Waaah... Stop trying to coax me... Just let me find a cave where I can sleep forever and hide until everyone who knows me disappears."
"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go..."
Xu Ning quickly stopped Silusa, who was about to fly away, saying, "It's not too late to leave after you finish speaking."
"Actually, we haven't known each other for very long, and Lady Hua Ling is someone we look up to, so we really haven't dared to delve too deeply into your strengths and weaknesses. But..."
Xu Ning took a breath and said firmly, "However, you have a clear advantage that surpasses all other flower spirits. But Zurwan told me and Kong not to tell you, for fear that you would become arrogant and stop trying."
Kong looked at Brother Xu with a blank expression, "Really?"
Are you sure I was there when Zurwan said that to you?
Upon hearing these words, Slusa's hope was rekindled, and she looked at Xu Ning.
"That is, you really are the destined Flower Spirit Warrior! Even the Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Species acknowledges this, which is why it was so easy to give you the flower crown with two horns."
Sluza was clearly disappointed upon hearing this. "The destined hero, is that all?"
"Wow," Xu Ning exclaimed in exaggerated surprise, "It's destiny, it's a gift from the heavens, a qualification that even the goddess of fate favors. If that's not a virtue, I don't know what is. Besides, even your gods have acknowledged and endorsed it. Who would doubt that the gods have made a mistake?"
Sluza smiled sheepishly.
"Hehe, how should I put it? Well, I guess I'm just as good as ever, hahaha, I'm suddenly motivated again. Let's celebrate tonight and deal with that celestial phenomenon tomorrow!"
Seeing that Slusa had regained her energy, Sora and Paimon simultaneously gave Xu Ning a thumbs up.
"Zurwan, we're back!"
Little Money seemed to have returned safely, and Paimon was in a great mood, waving to Zurwan in the sea of flowers from afar.
"Oh my, you're back so soon. Looks like you've successfully obtained all the Aura Songs?"
Slusa stepped forward and said, "There's one more missing. My Lord of Hymns said he forgot to take it. It's right here in the flower field."
Zurwan smiled and said, "It's at Jingjue Lake. You can take them there to get it."
Sluza exclaimed, "Oh, so that's where it is! Okay, let's go get the last Aura Song first, and then we'll celebrate."
As Xu Ning left with Slusa, Zulwan smiled at everyone and said, "Tell me your story when you come back."
For some reason, Xu Ning felt that Zurwan seemed to know everything they had done today.
But Xu Ning nodded nonetheless.
I have many questions to ask this senior who seems to have lived for hundreds of years.
Jingjue Lake is located right next to the sea of flowers, very close.
In today's terms, it's just a street away, around the corner.
The so-called Jingjue Lake looks like nothing more than a small pond.
Beside the pool, three flower spirits—one green, one purple, and one blue—guarded the area.
Seeing that it was Silsa who brought the humans in, the three flower spirits, though curious about Xu Ning and the others, remained silent.
"This is the source of the entire sea of flowers. The primordial dew nourishes the sea of flowers and the myriad kinds of spiritual light. The dew pool here is just a spring that overflows from it."
Slusa introduced the Dew Pool to everyone, then flew above it and used the power of the Flower Crown.
As the largest Radiant Song, nourished by the spring water, was incorporated into the petals on Slusa's wings, all five Radiant Songs were finally complete.
"Yay! Mission accomplished! Time for a feast!"
