Jiang Xiaofeng appeared at the Akademiya in an instant.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaofeng clad in black armor, the group of scholars immediately knelt on the ground. "My lord!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
"Looks like I've been walking for quite a while..."
Starry Sky Gate appeared, bringing Jiang Xiaofeng to the Spider Woman and Anna.
The Great Sage, trembling and stammering, expressed his incomprehension of how to use the Void Power to control the Void. Suddenly, he saw Jiang Xiaofeng, immediately knelt down, and shuffled to Jiang Xiaofeng's side, hugging Jiang Xiaofeng's legs and crying out, "My God! I really don't understand the Void Power!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "?"
The Spider Woman spoke up at the opportune moment, "I used the Void Eye to unify the will of the disobedient scholars of the Sumeru Akademiya. Now they are servants centered on His Majesty the King."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
"Servants and such, that's a bit too strange."
"Call them slaves."
Those who disobey will be sent to do hard labor.
"Anyway, we can't die because we have the Void Eye."
Jiang Xiaofeng spoke calmly.
The great sage trembled. "My god! My loyalty to you is as clear as the sun and the moon!"
"I will never betray my God!"
The great sage spoke with absolute certainty.
"What's it to you? Get lost!"
Jiang Xiaofeng kicked the Great Sage away and looked at Anna: " Anna, what brings you to Sumeru?"
The Spider Woman said, "I invited the Queen to intimidate the unruly fellow from Sumeru, and the Queen agreed."
Jiang Xiaofeng sat down next to Anna, took Anna hand and stroked it. "What a hassle. If someone is dissatisfied, just brainwash them and throw them into slavery. What's the point of intimidation?"
"The population of Sumeru is not large, and it is even showing a downward trend."
Jiang Xiaofeng paused in his touch of Anna's hand. "What do you mean?"
Spider Woman took out a document. "The literal meaning."
" Sumeru is divided into desert and rainforest. The people of the desert, whose original god was the Scarlet King, looked down on the people of the Dendro Archon, leading to the breakdown of marriage alliances."
"The people in the rainforest are alright; most of those facing life-threatening situations are businessmen and forest rangers."
"But the desert people have a hard time surviving; they basically need to fight with weapons sealed with Ominous Spirit in order to withstand the harsh conditions of the desert."
"It's already difficult enough for them to just stay alive, let alone get married... only those who give up life in the desert can have a good family."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
"So, even after Lao Tzu conquered Sumeru City, he still needed to manage the livelihoods of Sumeru's population?"
"What do I care if they live or die?"
"I only wanted to take down the Akademiya; the lives of the Sumeru are none of my concern."
"Of course, if the Sumeru people are also willing to believe in the Void God, then I have no objection."
Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly, "Let's do it this way. Spread the word about the power of the Void Eye, tell the desert and the rainforest that if they become my followers, they can possess this power."
"Those idle guys from the Knights of Favonius can move over to Sumeru."
Oh, right.
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand and took out an Void Eye.
"This can conjure up a portal I create, which can be placed between Sumeru City and Mondstadt City."
"So that the knights of Mondstadt City wouldn't have to travel for more than ten days to reunite."
"Yes, that's all."
After Jiang Xiaofeng finished speaking, he took Anna and left.
"Your the King, we have also captured the Scaramouche."
Jiang Xiaofeng continued working, "Keep a close eye on him, don't let anything happen to him."
The Starry Sky Gate opened, and Jiang Xiaofeng and Anna vanished.
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the plains west of Dawn Winery, recalled his returning slumbering army, and then took Anna back to Mondstadt City.
It was nearly afternoon, and Amber, who had nothing to do as usual, was wandering the streets with Nahida and Arama.
Amber.
Jiang Xiaofeng called out to Amber.
"Your the King, hello!"
Amber bowed to Jiang Xiaofeng: "I'm playing with Nahida and Arama."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. "You take Arama to play first, I need to talk to Nahida."
Amber nodded in agreement and left with Arama in her arms.
Jiang Xiaofeng led the two to the Void Church and found a chair to sit down.
"I've taken down Mount Sumeru."
Jiang Xiaofeng crossed his legs and spoke directly.
Nahida was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"All right."
Jiang Xiaofeng spoke again, "However, I don't know how to control the Akasha Terminal."
"So what?"
Nahida blinked her the Big Eye at Jiang Xiaofeng.
"So... join the Void, Nahida."
"You'll manage the Akasha Terminal."
Nahida: "?"
"She's so young, how can you let her deal with the Void?"
Anna complained about Jiang Xiaofeng.
"With the Void Power present, there's nothing to worry about with the Akasha Terminal anyway. I simply gave the Lesser Lord Kusanali a chance to take control of what rightfully belonged to her."
" Void, Nahida doesn't need to manage the void; those scholars can handle it. Nahida can still relax."
Jiang Xiaofeng led Anna to the very top of the snow-capped mountain, where they looked down at the snowy scenery.
Anna leaned against Jiang Xiaofeng's chest. "I remember there was a country before the snow mountain."
"Yes, I destroyed it."
"Because he doesn't listen."
Jiang Xiaofeng echoed.
Anna gazed at the snow scene without saying a word.
After a long pause, Anna suddenly spoke up, "I want to go back to the island."
Jiang Xiaofeng was somewhat surprised, but didn't show it. "Okay."
"I've been planning a trip back to the island anyway, so I might as well take you with me."
Jiang Xiaofeng kissed Anna's forehead and slowly began to speak.
"Um..."
Anna nestled in Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and whispered a few words of advice.
"Let's go back..."
Anna said softly.
"Good..."
Jiang Xiaofeng picked up Anna and returned to his room at the Void Church.
Jiang Xiaofeng gently placed Anna on the bed, Anna suddenly hugged Jiang Xiaofeng's neck and kissed him.
An hour passed...
It was already dark.
Jiang Xiaofeng played with Anna's white hair, gazing at Anna pretty face, a slight smile curving his lips.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng's body suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the Akademiya, checked on Nahida's condition, and after confirming that she was alright, Jiang Xiaofeng opened the door and went to the main street of Sumeru City.
" Mondstadt and Sumeru are now in my hands."
" Inazuma is already mine."
" Liyue is nothing to worry about, Fontaine is no threat, the only two slightly troublesome are the Ice and Fire nations..."
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed, took out the Naku Weed), put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The faint electric currents within the Naku Weed ) can clear Jiang Xiaofeng's mind and make him think more quickly.
Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly raised his hand, pausing time.
Then, I reached out and pulled!
A man wearing a black mask appeared in Jiang Xiaofeng's hands.
" The Doctor, right?"
"I know this is just a slice of your story, so, to make a long story short..."
How do you want to die?
Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed the Doctor by the neck and said calmly.
