Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

Chapter 818: The Never-Ending Flower God Birthday Festival ()

This little episode, caused by the great sage's attempt to assert his authority, came to an abrupt end with Caesar's shocking punch, which was enough to freeze the air in the entire Grand Bazaar and cause the room temperature to drop by ten degrees.

However, the grand birthday ceremony of the flower god had to end regretfully.

One of the reasons is that the great sage came forward this time in the name of the Council of Commands - and the Council of Commands is the symbol of the highest authority in Xumi and the core of governance that is above everything else.

Even someone as powerful as Caesar was just one of them.

The second one... is more realistic and helpless: the ice elemental force released by Caesar's punch has frozen the entire stage into an indestructible ice field.

Even though Nilu's dancing is charming and as agile as the wind, it is difficult for her to perform the dance of the flower goddess that symbolizes life and blooming on such solid ice.

The latter was actually the reason that caused the celebration to be interrupted. As for the former... it was just a high-sounding excuse.

After all, although Caesar belonged to the Senate, his power alone was enough to turn the entire Senate into his arbitrary palace.

At that time, his will was the law.

The Flower Goddess Birthday Festival was eventually forced to be cancelled due to damage to the venue.

Caesar looked indifferent as he left the scene early with the still young little King of Auspicious Grass. He flicked his sleeves lightly as if brushing away a speck of dust.

The great sage who was trapped in the ice was only able to escape after dozens of mercenaries worked hard to dig him out.

After all, as a sage, Caesar had no intention of killing, otherwise that punch would have been enough to crush his soul and send it deep into the earth.

This is just a little lesson.

With Setale's support, the pale and weak sage staggered forward and slowly walked towards the House of the Decrees.

He gritted his teeth, his voice low but filled with resentment: "Upon your return, immediately order the clerk to draft a decree before the next 'Knowing Tibetan Day' - prohibiting all public art performances. When the time is right, announce it to all the people of Xumi through the Void System."

Setale was shocked when she heard this and whispered, "But... Great Sage, if the reformists knew about this, they would probably strongly oppose it..."

"We are the ones who control the void!" The Great Sage suddenly looked up and shouted, "How can the reformists interfere with our decisions? They have no right to stop us!"

However, before he could finish his words, Caesar's devastating punch reappeared in his mind, and the chill and fear that penetrated into his bones made him silent instantly.

After a long moment, he lowered his voice, a barely perceptible timidity visible in his tone: "...But this matter must be strictly sealed, and the reformists must not get a whiff of it."

"...Yes." Setale replied with her head down, a trace of worry passing across her brows.

The Great Sage looked back at the frozen stage with resentful eyes and muttered to himself, "Why do you care about this kind of activity that is more formal than practical?"

"Then I'll destroy it myself for you to see. Flower God's Birthday Festival? Just celebrate the birth of the god."

[Wang Chao! You really dare!]

【High HP bar, I'll make you high HP bar! 】

This person's self-righteous tone and condescending attitude really resemble some real-life "experts."

[Look down on art students? Then I can only call on the authority among art students (fascist.jpg)]

【This person is truly authoritative. 】

[This person's appearance successfully cured my low blood pressure.]

My blood pressure had dropped when Caesar punched him, but now it's rising again after hearing these words.

"Brother Hai, hurry up and seize power! I support you in becoming the first royalist and the next great sage!"

The two of them disappeared silently into the night, leaving behind only the silent and cold ruins, witnessing the end of a celebration and the surge of undercurrents of power.

Dina Zedai and Ying and their group slowly stepped onto the stage. Soft lighting fell on their shoulders, casting a warm and resolute glow. They looked at Nilu, who stood in the center, looking slightly forlorn, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pity.

Paimon flew forward gently and asked with a concerned tone, "Nilu, are you okay?"

Nilu shook her head slightly, but a faint smile still played on the corner of her mouth: "I'm fine... Although it is a bit sad that the Great Sage ordered the cancellation of the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival."

"But luckily, Lord Caesar stepped forward. His punch was so clean and powerful that it made me feel relieved. It was really a relief."

Paimon blinked and stood up as well: "Me too! That punch was so cool!"

Nilu turned her head, her eyes gently falling on Dina Zedai, her voice filled with a hint of apology and regret: "It's just... I'm a little sorry for you, Dina Zedai."

"You're obviously looking forward to this Dance of the Flower Goddess."

"This Flower Goddess Birthday Festival is obviously of great significance to you."

A glimmer of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and she tentatively suggested:

"How about...we change the venue? Find a secluded corner where the people from the Order will never find us..."

But before she finished speaking, she frowned:

"Ah... But if that's the case, there's no way to inform the audience, the atmosphere won't be set, and the stage won't be set. The performance will definitely be greatly reduced..."

She pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Or... we could send someone to guard outside the theater to prevent anyone from entering and disrupting the performance... Hmm... But that seems to make things more difficult for Lord Caesar to deal with. I'm afraid it will cause him trouble..."

At first, Nilu only half-jokingly expressed these ideas, but as she spoke, her expression gradually became serious, as if she was really sketching out the blueprint of a secret performance in her mind.

This scene made Dina Zedai laugh out loud, but there was a glimmer of emotion in her eyes: "Okay, Nilu, it's okay."

Her tone was gentle yet firm. "If we insist on continuing with the Flower Goddess Festival now, the risks are too great. We cannot put everyone in danger."

"and……"

Dina Zedai looked at the stage covered with a thin layer of ice and said, "On a stage like this, even for you, it would be difficult to dance."

“It might even be dangerous.”

"It's a pity that I couldn't see you dance the Flower Goddess Dance this time, but we can still look forward to the next time."

Upon hearing this, Nilu's eyes lit up again, and a joyful smile spread across her face. "That's right! Then next time—we must work together to make the Flower God's Birthday Festival a complete success!"

Dina Zedai nodded with a smile, reached out and gently held Nilu's hand: "Okay, then it's settled."

"Next year, my family will continue to sponsor the Zubair Theater. By then, we must let everyone witness the most beautiful dance of the flower goddess with their own eyes."

[Thank you Ming Yuan, thank you ACG, otherwise in real life, I really wouldn't be able to survive until next year if I were terminally ill.]

[Don't underestimate the bond between us and the Flower Goddess Festival! ]

[Wait, this rhythm is... Stop it! I can't set a flag now! Something bad will happen!]

[At this moment, Dina Zedai looked like the old general on the stage, with flags all over her body.]

After comforting Dina Zedai, Ying and her group followed Dina Zedai out of the Zubair Theater. After saying goodbye to Dina Zedai and Dishiya, the three returned to the hotel.

"I never thought that the Flower God's Birthday Festival would end in this way. It's a bit regrettable when I think about it." Paimeng said regretfully.

Ying said, "After all, the stage has become like that. If she continues to dance, Nilu might be in danger."

"That's true." Paimon nodded.

Then he said with an indignant look: "Although it was said that Caesar did it, it's all the fault of that unromantic great sage!"

Ying showed a thoughtful expression and said, "How about asking Caesar later if there's still any use for him keeping the Great Sage?"

"If it doesn't work, you can consider solving Caesar's troubles when you leave Xumi."

Paimon's mind suddenly became clear for once, and she said:

"You don't mean to..."

"Well, although I don't think that great sage has reached that level yet... he does make me a little angry. I hope he won't be able to become a sage in the future."

Ying nodded and said, "Let's first confirm whether the Great Sage can help Caesar."

Paimon nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to bed quickly. If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day we agreed with Caesar to meet the Little Lucky Grass King."

"Have a good rest and recharge your energy." Ying nodded.

Iya was still thinking about the little auspicious grass king, but since they could meet tomorrow, he didn't care much about this little time.

So he nodded as well.

The three of them lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Just as the three of them were sound asleep, a beep came from the void terminal beside their ears.

“To ensure all links are connected and to build the highest stability architecture.”

"The 'Plan' has entered its most critical phase, and we'll begin extracting power from '——'."
