Li Qiuzhi had no objections to Nahida's decision.
Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to take down The Doctor, so he could not get his hands on both Shouki no Kami and the Gnosis.
He could only look for another opportunity later. For now, he would take whatever he could get.
With that thought, Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly and took Nahida up to the Surface-Layer Space, ready to negotiate with The Doctor.
Seeing Li Qiuzhi and Nahida appear, The Doctor let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief. To show his sincerity,
he dispersed the pink mist and said with a grim expression,
"Tell me, what are your demands?"
"To create this Artificial God, you used up a vast quantity of the Akademiya's elemental materials and countless Mora.
"It would be no exaggeration to say that this giant mechanical figure was built with Sumeru's funding. If you want to take him away, you must return the resources you used."
With her little hands on her hips, Nahida floated in midair, looking The Doctor in the eye as she stated her first condition.
"...Very well."
Dottore, The Doctor, fell silent for a moment. Although he had brought several of Shouki no Kami's core materials, such as the Electro Gnosis,
the Grand Sage had indeed provided assistance with everything else.
After all, a project as grand as creating a god was difficult for him to complete alone. Even with Snezhnaya's backing, it would have been difficult to secure the necessary conditions.
For instance, only at the Akademiya could he obtain the inexpensive thinking and computational power provided by the Akasha system.
Lesser Lord Kusanali's demand was therefore reasonably fair.
Besides, while Snezhnaya was not as wealthy as Liyue, it would hardly lack that paltry amount of resources, which even Sumeru could afford.
