Chapter 841 Main Quest Completed
(Chapter 840 is complete. I'm still struggling with the character design, so I'll finish it later. I'll just write 1000 words today; I'm feeling a bit lazy.)
[Wow! Caesar, don't make a prediction at a time like this!]
Can I set a goal here?
[This is probably just setup; there won't be any angst later, right?]
[Just from this one sentence, there's definitely more angst to come. miHoYo is still miHoYo, unchanged in the slightest.]
【Please don't! I absolutely love Caesar!】
[Previously, player characters wouldn't die on Sky Island, so it should be like His Highness, where they evoke a wave of tears before being resurrected.]
[↑According to your logic, in the end we still have to rely on Brother Bai. Brother Bai really is too authoritative in Teyvat.]
The conversation inside Jingshan Palace abruptly stopped, the echoes seemingly frozen in the quiet air.
Ying and her entourage followed Caesar slowly out of the palace. The night breeze rustled their clothes through the corridors. No one spoke along the way, only the soft sound of their footsteps. The silence spread like ink, enveloping them all.
Finally, Caesar broke the heavy silence, his voice deep and clear: "Ask whatever you want to ask."
I will answer you as best I can.
Ying nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of unease and probing:
Why...why would you say that?
But... what if one day I'm gone?
This statement is less a question and more like a subtly planted foreshadowing; less a hypothesis and more like a preordained omen.
It was like a cold wind blowing into everyone's hearts, making Ying and her companions, and even Narcida, feel an ominous premonition—Caesar seemed to have really made up his mind.
Seriously... I'm ready to leave Nasida's side.
Caesar slowly stopped, and the crowd behind him also stopped.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the deep night sky, staring at the countless stars, his voice calm yet containing immense power:
"The Great Tree King appointed me as the last sage for two reasons."
"Firstly, it is to assist the young Little Auspicious Grass King, helping her gradually assume the responsibilities of the seven rulers of the mortal world, smoothly transition, and ultimately become a true god of the new generation of Sumeru."
"In this respect, she has done an exceptionally good job. She is just one step away from truly transforming into a qualified deity."
He paused, his eyes flickering slightly as if he were carefully choosing his words, before adding:
"No, perhaps it should be said—that he is a deity who can guide Sumeru into the future."
Then, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am just a mortal, far from being qualified to judge whether gods are worthy of such judgments."
Paimon flew forward, blinked, and asked, "The final step? What's the next step?"
Caesar's lips curled slightly as he uttered three words, his tone carrying a profound meaning:
"Royalists".
He looked around at everyone, his expression calm: "Let me be frank, if I wanted to, the conflict between the two factions of the Order of the Church would never have happened."
"In terms of rank, I am both the first sage of the Lesser Auspicious Grass King and the 'last sage' personally appointed by the Great Compassion Tree King."
"Within the realm of Sumeru, I am the number one person below the gods."
"In terms of seniority, I was already in charge of the position of Sage in the Order of the Church five hundred years ago. The other Sages today are all short-lived."
"Those who were admitted to the hospital at the same time as me, or even later than me, have long since turned into dust."
"In terms of strength—" his tone grew colder, "even if all the disciplinary officers under the royalists came out in full force, they would be no match for me."
He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, as if carving stone with a knife:
Five hundred years ago, they might have still been able to put up a fight.
"But five hundred years later, I alone am enough to wipe out the entire royalist faction. The gap between us..."
"Absolutely."
The night wind suddenly stopped, and all was quiet.
He withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "However, they still exist today, and even within the Council of the Fathers, they seem to be the more powerful side."
He slowly turned around, his gaze deep as he looked at the crowd:
"Have you ever wondered... why this is?"
