The Wisdom of Sumeru Is Yours to Command

Facing the powerful Shouki no Kami, Nahida could only dodge continuously, as Shouki no Kami's attacks became more intense in its complete state.

Moreover, Shouki no Kami had many moves, with each one even having a tongue-twisting name.

For instance, Nether Thunder-Grinding Seal was a cubic strike condensed from Electro power; Wind-Fury Dragon-Roar Water-Howl was a waterspout formed by the fusion of Electro and Hydro power; Path of Chasm-Ice Chisel was Shouki no Kami charging forward, leaving behind areas of Pyro and Cryo elemental attacks along its path.

Shouki no Kami had many more attack moves like these, making Lesser Lord Kusanali Nahida appear weak and helpless.

Beside her, there was only the Traveler and a green flying object of unknown use.

The people of Douluo Continent were drawn into the scene on the Sky Screen, witnessing a battle between gods, something unprecedented for them.

They were all worried about Lesser Lord Kusanali Nahida, while Scaramouche watched the scene on the Sky Screen with a wry smile.

The 168 cycles of reincarnation, he had been completely unaware of it then, which was enough to show the gap between him and Nahida.

None of those who sat on the throne of the Seven Gods were simple. The old foxes of Anemo and Geo were particularly good at hiding. Thinking about it, among the Seven Gods, Raiden Ei seemed to be the least competent in terms of intelligence.

She was deceived by the Tri-Commission, her Vision Hunt Decree angered the heavens and people, and she turned a blind eye to the Fatui's actions, not acting like a qualified god at all.

Scaramouche laughed again at this thought. Although he had only ascended to the divine throne for a short period, he believed he had done better than Raiden Ei, and that was enough.

On the Sky Screen, the Traveler was blasted away by a beam of Electro energy, and Shouki no Kami brought its palm down on Lesser Lord Kusanali Nahida.

Many people's hearts clenched for Nahida, and then Nahida was lifted by Shouki no Kami like a shuttlecock and brought before it.

"It was supposed to be a battle between gods, yet you hid behind mortals, and now you're putting on a show for these lowly mortals. You truly are a self-indulgent god, Buer."

After saying this, Scaramouche performed a heart-ripping move on the Balladeer.

Many people couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes, while others believed Lesser Lord Kusanali Nahida couldn't possibly be that weak and stared intently at the Sky Screen, looking for a reversal.

"Do you know how many times you've tried to steal my Gnosis?"

Nahida's body emanated green light, and a green diamond-shaped barrier appeared around her.

Scaramouche looked incredulous. He, who thought he had everything under control, couldn't see through Nahida's methods at all.

"The data has been collected. This is the 168th time, and it's also the number of times the Akademiya has made the people of Sumeru fall into the Sabzeruz Festival loop to create you, a false god."

Crack! The Sky Screen shattered completely and rewound to the moment Nahida and Shouki no Kami first met.

Most of the Douluo Continent people watching the Sky Screen were bewildered, completely unable to understand what had happened.

At Canghui Academy, there was a teacher named Shi Nian who was extremely excited at this moment.

"A dream, this must be the power of dreams! The power of dreams is so formidable. Akademiya, Lesser Lord Kusanali, I, Shi Nian, pledge to be your most loyal believer."

Nahida was unaware that just from the images displayed on the Sky Screen, she had gained a devout follower.

On the Sky Screen, Shouki no Kami also reacted.

"The power of dreams? When? Could it be..."

The Sky Screen rewound. Nahida was pushing back against Shouki no Kami's burst of Electro power with her Dendro power, and the power of dreams was activated at that very moment.

In other words, everything from then on was a looped dream controlled by Nahida, a total of 168 cycles, corresponding to 168 cycles of the Sabzeruz Festival.

Strong individuals like Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu from Douluo Continent immediately understood the terrifying nature of the dream authority.

Even a god could be instantly dragged into a dream loop. They, the so-called Title Douluo, could be dragged into a dream loop and die without ever knowing how.

And at the Akademiya headquarters, by the Lake of Life, Di Tian had the most say. He was the one who was subdued by Nahida's dream authority.

Even now, Di Tian felt a chill recalling the scenes of reincarnation in the endless dream.

On the Sky Screen, despite being toyed with by Nahida's dream loop, Shouki no Kami remained stubbornly defiant.

"You couldn't defeat me even within the dream. What's the point of such a petty trick?"

Nahida wasted no more words and passed on the combat experience from the 168 dream cycles to the Traveler.

"To coordinate the wisdom of the people in the name of a god, this was the original purpose of Akasha. I have already sent the combat experience through Akasha to the people of Sumeru, and they will find a way for you to defeat this false god."

"Now, the wisdom of Sumeru is at your disposal!"

"Go forth, my first sage, Buer!"

The Sky Screen then flashed rapidly, showing images of Nilou, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Collei, Cyno, and countless ordinary scholars from the Akademiya.

Finally, the screen returned to Shouki no Kami.

The Traveler, armed with the combat experience from 168 dream cycles and the collective wisdom of the people of Sumeru, engaged Shouki no Kami once more.

Shouki no Kami's attack patterns remained unchanged, but with the combat experience from 168 dream cycles, the Traveler could easily dodge every single one of Shouki no Kami's attacks.

While dodging Shouki no Kami's attacks, the Traveler also skillfully used Anemo, Electro, Geo, and Dendro elemental powers to attack.

The flying object created by Nahida, which followed the Traveler, was also collecting scattered elemental energy to charge up.

Once fully charged, the flying object would deploy a Four-Leaf Sigil to launch a powerful attack at Shouki no Kami.

Struck, Shouki no Kami let out a roar and began to charge its ultimate move.

"Instant Destruction: Arrival."

A massive Electro energy sphere appeared, continuously accumulating elemental power.

The Traveler quickly destroyed the mechanical constructs surrounding Shouki no Kami, providing enough elemental energy for the flying object beside him.

After charging up, the little thing once again unleashed the Four-Leaf Sigil for a powerful strike, interrupting Shouki no Kami's ultimate and temporarily paralyzing him.

"How... is this possible..."

The Traveler seized the opportunity and immediately charged forward, unleashing all his skills to attack Shouki no Kami's core, finally paralyzing him completely.

Nahida, shimmering with the brilliance of Dendro energy, flew before the fully paralyzed Shouki no Kami, shattering the outer shell of his core to retrieve the Raiden Shogun's Gnosis within.

Seeing Nahida about to take the Gnosis, Scaramouche could no longer maintain his divine facade and became flustered.

"No! No! Not the Gnosis..."

Alas, he was now a loser, and the Gnosis was ultimately taken from Shouki no Kami by Nahida.
