[I remember that Klee has a nickname called the Runaway Sun.]
[Whenever I get the chance, I'll take a photo of the moon and the escaped sun!]
"The escaped sun? I'm the moon?"
The Nashida who had been smiling happily just moments ago now wore a puzzled expression.
When did she ever say she was the moon? She never said that.
Was it something she said after meeting Klee? Or was it metaphorical…? Ah. Nashida understood.
"The sun I'm talking about is not that sun…"
Chapter 70: The Celestial Empire Does Not Keep Idle Gods
"I know, and they should know too."
Of course Lin Ze understood all of this, but it didn't matter.
Lin Ze was now Ahaha's devout messenger of joy!
"…"
Watching Lin Ze silently for two seconds, Nashida picked up the peach she hadn't finished and continued eating.
Lin Ze continued recording his pleasant daily life.
[Nashida eating fruit-fruit.jpg!]
[So cute!]
Nashida had no interest in paying him any attention and kept eating fruit.
So this was what a Dandan Peach tasted like—delicious.
As soon as Nashida finished the peach, Lin Ze handed her a white handkerchief.
Nashida looked at it for two seconds, received instructions from the Akasha Terminal, and wiped her mouth and hands.
[Nashida wipes her mouth.jpg!]
[Elegant! Truly elegant!]
"Mr. Lin Ze, please stop joking."
No one had ever been so casual with Nashida before.
She felt almost flustered, her small rosy face turning much redder—though it faded quickly.
"Mr. Lin Ze, I would like to ask you what it means to be a qualified god."
Nashida knew why Lin Ze came to see her—because he discovered the Irminsul branches.
Since Lin Ze came to her on his own, he should be willing to answer her question, right?
"I think you're asking the wrong person.
I've never been a god, so how would I know what a 'qualified god' is?"
How could Lin Ze know what made a proper god?
He'd never been one.
"Is there no god in Mr. Lin Ze's world?"
"At least, I've never seen one. They're all legends.
Especially in our country—most of the gods are ancestors who were deified.
No real god has ever performed a miracle. In our time, we follow one principle:
I believe in and worship whoever is useful."
"We have a saying: 'The Celestial Empire does not support idle gods.'"
Lin Ze shrugged. He wasn't sure if gods existed before he transmigrated—he had never seen one.
Though based on those imaginative videos on TikTok where he somehow gained Black Flag powers… maybe there was some mysterious force.
"What if your wish to the gods succeeds?"
"That just proves how awesome I am!"
"And if it fails?"
"Then that god is useless—change to another one next time.
As I said before, the Celestial Empire does not keep idle spirits. I'll even write it in my diary."
[The Celestial Empire does not keep idle gods!]
"What a strange belief…"
Nashida couldn't help but complain. What kind of country did Lin Ze come from?
And what do they even believe in?!
[After all, the left eye twitches for wealth, and the right eye twitches for feudal superstition~]
[We believe in science.]
"Hm… I understand, but it still feels strange…"
Picking up an apple, Nashida continued eating while complaining softly.
After reading his diary, she could make sense of his explanation.
But it was still weird!
"As expected, two worlds cannot easily understand one another…"
While eating the apple, Nashida fell into thought.
[Nashida quietly eating fruit.jpg]
[Cute!]
"Then, Mr. Lin Ze… can you make me a qualified god?"
After thinking for a while, Nashida came up with a better idea. Since Lin Ze couldn't answer her directly—
Could Lin Ze use his power to make her a qualified god?
After all, his power was conceptual—capable of surpassing rules.
"You can give it a try, but you might not become the kind of god you want, Nashida.
This ability is subjective, based on my inner thoughts.
And you know how my world sees gods.
But I can take you to meet your predecessors."
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Ze felt that if he really used this ability on Nashida… she might vanish entirely.
Becoming an "existence everywhere yet nowhere."
So Lin Ze would never use that ability on Nashida. She was far too cute.
"My predecessors…"
"Yes. Though each god rules differently, they've all held authority for a long time.
You can learn from them first.
Would you like to meet Morax? Or Barbatos, who chose to let freedom reign? Or Baalzebul, who chose eternity?"
[As the saying goes: 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher.']
To help Nashida understand, Lin Ze added a line to the diary.
Nashida noticed it and fully grasped what he meant.
"Alright. Let me go with you to meet the seniors."
There was nothing in Sumeru that needed her now.
Her Gnosis wasn't with her. It was being used to keep the Akasha System running.
The sages ruled Sumeru, and here in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, one might not see another person for eight or even ten years.
Going out to meet her seniors and learn from them was the best choice.
"Then let's go."
As he spoke, Lin Ze tore open space itself. The other side of the rift was Liyue—Lin Ze's family villa.
At the same time—
[Hu Tao, ask Zhongli to come to my house. I've brought him a junior.]
[Just tell him I've notified you and asked you to invite him.]
Hu Tao was still confused about what Lin Ze meant earlier.
After seeing the new diary entry, she couldn't help but pout.
Was he treating her—the great Hu Tao—as a messenger tool?
But… she could help Lin Ze this once.
"Zhongli's junior is also a god, right?
Nashida? Did Lin Ze bring back the god from Sumeru?"
Thinking that far, Hu Tao hurried out of the room.
Soon after, Zhongli arrived at Lin Ze's house.
In truth, Zhongli had already sensed Nashida's divine power even without Lin Ze's message.
Even without Hu Tao saying a word, he would've come over after finishing his cup of tea.
