Will You Do That to King Deshret in the Future Too?

"Give you my power?"

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Nahida was taken aback.

Seeing her like this, Bai Ye wanted to explain everything. However, before Bai Ye could speak, Nahida immediately said to Bai Ye, "What should I do? I don't know how to do this."

Don't you have any doubts?

This time, it was Bai Ye's turn to be puzzled.

"I trust my judgment, and I have even more faith in the King Deshret. I believe that since she gave such instructions, nothing you have done will harm me."

Nahida said to Bai Ye.

The little girl's gaze was intense, her eyes filled with trust in Bai Ye.

Since it was entrusted by the King Deshret, then let us believe it completely.

"Then, leave everything to me."

Seeing Nahida's impulsive belief in him, Bai Ye spoke softly.

It's good that she believes in herself, but she should tell the King Deshret later so that he can properly educate Nahida to be more rational and not impulsive in her actions.

These are things to be done later; Bai Ye should focus her attention on the present.

Obtain the power of the Dendro Archon.

Bai Ye continued to hold Nahida.

Then, he began to think about a question.

Where does Nahida's power reside?

Where should I go to obtain her authority?

Seeing that Bai Ye remained motionless, Nahida looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"I'm pondering where your power lies," Bai Ye said to Nahida. "I need to obtain the embodiment or symbol of the Gods's power in order to truly acquire it."

But I don't have anything else on me.

Nahida looked at herself; besides the clothes she wore, she had nothing else.

Surely it can't be his own clothes, right?

Nahida instinctively covered her chest.

Seeing Nahida's nervous expression, Bai Ye quickly waved his hand. "It's not just about one piece of clothing. Don't worry, I won't take your clothes off."

Even if Bai Ye were to strip Lesser Lord Kusanali of his clothes, he wouldn't do such a beastly thing.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a physical object; it's enough to have something to entrust your feelings to."

Back then, the power of Makoto and Raiden Ei was nothing more than a bolt of lightning.

Now, the lightning has been integrated into the mechanical arm.

"Oh."

Nahida breathed a slight sigh of relief at this moment.

But she also started to think about it.

What can represent oneself?

Or perhaps it's a place to place one's hopes or a source of comfort?

Bai Ye was also pondering. Time was running out, and if he didn't react at all, it might arouse the Grand Sage's suspicion.

"Hey..."

Nahida lay in the embrace of the Bai Ye, lost in thought.

She began to actively utilize her powers.

Then,

She felt a swelling sensation in her chest.

"Brother Bai Ye, it seems like something is about to come out."

Nahida said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye's gaze turned to Nahida.

At that moment, green fluorescence gathered on her chest. Then, in the sight of Bai Ye and Nahida, green branches slowly grew from her chest.

It stretched out little by little, until finally a branch more than ten centimeters long appeared on Nahida's chest.

"It is the embodiment of my power. Brother, take it down!"

Nahida said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye gently grasped the branch and then took it down.

During this process, although Bai Ye's palm did not touch Nahida's chest, the feeling of holding the branch still made her face slightly red.

"Brother, are you done?"

Seeing that the branches had completely left her body, Nahida asked Bai Ye a question.

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Now, I can replicate your powers."

"Copy?"

Nahida looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ye was taken aback at first when he saw Nahida's expression, but then he said to Nahida, "You don't think I'm going to take it, do you?"

"Um."

Nahida nodded.

"No, I was just copying."

As he picked up the branch, memories of Nahida began to surface in his mind.

Frankly speaking, compared to the Demon God Memory, Nahida's memories are pitifully few.

The moment she came into view, she was surrounded by a group of people from the Akademiya. Before she could react, the people from the Akademiya had imprisoned her.

Am I not a god? Why am I encountering this situation?

She thought about it this way, but couldn't find an answer.

Continue indefinitely

They cannot leave the Akademiya at all.

Even if you listen to the experiences of outsiders, you can only watch like a spectator.

The Gods's memories end here.

Next came Nahida's powers.

Bai Ye discovered that Nahida's powers were twofold.

On one hand, it comes from the Gods's side, the manipulation of consciousness and intellect, granting others wisdom and intellect, entering and creating others' dreams, in short, power at the level of consciousness. With Nahida's power, one can modify and manipulate the consciousness of those less powerful than oneself.

It is very difficult to influence the consciousness of someone stronger than oneself.

"I could even create a consciousness."

Bai Ye thought to himself.

By finding those blank souls that have lost consciousness, Bai Ye can now imbue them with knowledge and memories, and then modify those souls to resemble the ones he desires.

Fortunately, Bai Ye isn't a villain, otherwise he would probably be a wicked manipulator.

Having gained this power at the level of consciousness, Bai Ye subconsciously checked his body to see if he had been affected by others. After a thorough examination, Bai Ye was certain that his consciousness was normal, he hadn't lost anything, and he was still himself.

Reaching this conclusion, Bai Ye felt even more at ease.

Then he continued to look at Nahida's other power.

This is the power that Nahida possesses; she is a branch that split off from the King Deshret, and therefore has the authority to operate the World Tree. Bai Ye has now also taken control of this power.

Upon receiving it, the information from the World Tree rapidly entered Bai Ye's mind. Bai Ye quickly interrupted himself to process it, so as not to overload his brain.

Although he hadn't reviewed everything, Bai Ye could clearly sense that these powers were not comprehensive.

"There are still some, probably in the hands of the King Deshret. Hmm, I'm afraid I'll have to revive the King Deshret before I can take them from her."

Bai Ye thought to himself.

However, just one glance at Nahida reminded him of how he had obtained Nahida's powers.

If I took the branch from Nahida's chest, is the King Deshret the same?

Nahida is just a small tablet, so it's fine for her to hold onto it. But when it comes time to obtain the power of the King Deshret, wouldn't she have to go and get it...?

Bai Ye quickly shook his head, not daring to think any further.

Just as he was thinking this, Nahida asked Bai Ye:

"So? Have you obtained my powers?"

"Yes, of course I'll take it."

Bai Ye nodded slightly.

At this moment, as if he had gained the power of perception, he sensed that somewhere deep within the Akademiya, there was the body of the King Deshret.

Various energies formed barriers around the body, effectively sealing it off.

Bai Ye speculated that this might be because the King Deshret was worried about the complete leakage of Forbidden Knowledge.

Nahida asked Bai Ye, "What should you do next?"

Bai Ye wore a smug expression and said to Nahida, "Hmph, you just wait here. Hmm, you can pretend to be weak, as if you've lost a lot of power."

"Good."

Nahida nodded.

Then, somewhat shyly, she pulled away from Bai Ye's embrace.

Although she was a little girl and not very mature, she had a clear understanding of theoretical knowledge, and she felt shy being held by Bai Ye like that. However, after being put down, Nahida looked somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Bai Ye picked up the device given to him by the Grand Sage and began to infuse it with the memories and abilities he had copied. During the infusion process, Bai Ye added his own information.

"Give them a surprise when it's most crucial."

He thought to himself.

Gently patting Nahida's head, Bai Ye said to her, "Nahida, wait a few more days, and I'll get everything sorted out for you. Then, I'll take you on a proper tour of Sumeru City."

"I believe you."

Nahida nodded and said.

Bai Ye smiled, while inwardly wondering what it would be like to have Nahida and Klee, two little girls, chatting together.

Nahida returned to the emerald light, even appearing listless.

Bai Ye chuckled softly, then picked up the device and walked outside.

When he went outside, the Grand Sage was still waiting for him.

"How is it going? How's the situation?"

He asked somewhat impatiently.

"Of course, I will not fail in my mission."

Bai Ye smiled smugly.

Then he handed the device to the Grand Sage.

Bai Ye said to the Grand Sage, "I feel that Lesser Lord Kusanali has become somewhat listless after absorbing her power. Grand Sage, we will need you to make proper arrangements for her later."

"That's natural."

The Grand Sage nodded.

He didn't respect Lesser Lord Kusanali, but he wouldn't mistreat him either. After all, it only cost a little Mora, it wasn't a big deal.

This would make it a little easier for Bai Ye to step down in the future, and even the Grand Sage thought it was worthwhile.

Bai Ye yawned at this moment, and then said to the Grand Sage, "Ah, I'm a little sleepy. Grand Sage, you woke me up so early. I haven't had enough sleep yet."

The Grand Sage was delighted and laughed heartily, "Haha, young people should sleep more. If you were my age, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep. Here's what you'll do: take a good rest for a few days. Someone said yesterday that you're getting very close to that student from our academy. I'll tell her teacher to take good care of her."

The Grand Sage Azar was also Rtawahist, and attended the same academy Layla.

This is the perfect opportunity to befriend Bai Ye.

"Then thank you, Grand Sage."

Bai Ye said goodbye to the Grand Sage and then departed.

As he watched him depart, the Grand Sage's smile faded slightly.

His gaze fell on the device he had just given to Bai Ye.

He didn't completely trust Bai Ye, so he began to examine the device.

The moment it's opened, the knowledge and memories of the Gods will burst forth.

The Grand Sage quickly put it away.

"Yes, this is pretty much confirmed. Lesser Lord Kusanali won't have much of these memories and abilities left after he loses them."

He muttered to himself.

The Grand Sage was unaware that these were copied by Bai Ye, and assumed that Bai Ye had taken them from Nahida.

Hahahaha...

He burst into laughter.

"Next, we need to see how things go on the Fatui' side. Hopefully, the messenger from Snezhnaya will offer an alternative solution. Otherwise, all this time will have been wasted."

The Grand Sage thought to himself.

Things are moving in a positive direction now, and he is very satisfied.

At this moment, Guizhong appeared beside Bai Ye and said happily:

"I bet Azar still thinks he's got the whole situation under control right now."

Bai Ye said to his teacher, "This guy actually thinks a lot. He knows the situation of the Scaramouche and Dottore very well. Although the Fatui aren't losing out, he's definitely making a profit. If he didn't know my abilities, he probably would have already started to suspect me."

"Unfortunately, that's precisely why we're taking advantage of his lack of awareness of your abilities."

Guizhong said excitedly.

Comparing your brain to others is too tiring; it's better to take advantage of his ignorance.

What should we do next?

Bai Ye said to Guizhong, "Okay, next I'll go find Albedo and explain the situation to Albedo. After that, we'll continue with the establishment of the Gods Network. Now, I'm almost ready and can start production."

"Good."

Guizhong, and then back into Bai Ye's body.

Bai Ye walked towards Albedo.

Upon arriving at the inn, Bai Ye saw Klee eating a piece of pastry with her hand.

When Klee looked up and saw Bai Ye, a happy expression immediately appeared on her face.

She waved to Bai Ye:

"Brother Bai Ye, Brother Bai Ye, why are you so late?"

"Yes, I went to the Akademiya to see that old man from yesterday." Bai Ye walked over to Klee and asked for another snack.

"Klee doesn't like that person."

Klee shook her head and said.

"Haha, I don't like it either."

Bai Ye said to Klee, "I went to see him to meet another little girl. I'll bring her back in a few days, and then you two can meet."

"Really? That's great!"

Klee clapped her hands and said...

Albedo also came over at this moment, and after seeing Bai Ye, he said to him:

"Bai Ye, it seems your plans are going very smoothly."

"Yes."

Bai Ye nodded.

"Let's talk in your room."

"Good."

Bai Ye and Albedo entered the room.

Then, Bai Ye took out the Serenitea Pot, and the two of them entered the Serenitea Pot.

Bai Ye told Albedo everything that had happened in Sumeru.

After hearing this, Albedo couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

"How about it?"

Bai Ye asked him.

Albedo said to Bai Ye, "Well, the plan is almost without problems. Next, I'd like to go see the place where that mechanism was created."

"Of course."

Bai Ye immediately agreed.

I'll find a way to take you there tomorrow.
