"I suspect this man is a spy planted in my Mount Sumeru by the Fools. Guards, seize him!"
Some guards had just stepped onto the stage amidst the sea of flowers.
A woman with black, ear-shaped hair wielding a greatsword charged forward.
They drove back the guards one by one.
"What, you're already getting angry and embarrassed?"
Nilu grew increasingly angry as she spoke, retorting, "I was just asking for the truth!"
"I just suddenly realized the truth."
"I'm curious, are you truly the hero of our Sumeru City, the hero who saved Lord Little Lucky Grass King, or the culprit behind all this, an evildoer who has eliminated our true hero!"
talking.
Nilu angrily pointed at the skirmishers.
"You are the one who caused all of this!"
"The sixth seat of the Fools' Enforcers, 'Scrap Soldiers'!"
"It was you who, along with the executor of the Fools, 'The Doctor,' and the Grand Sage Azar of the Order of the Fathers, imprisoned Lord Little Lucky Grass!"
"It was you who, driven by your ambition to become a god, imprisoned the innocent people of Sumeru in an endless, eternal cycle of dreams during last year's 'Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.'"
"It's you..."
Seeing the excited look on Nilu's face, the skirmisher's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
He couldn't understand how the other person knew the truth.
This isn't like the memory modification and overwriting techniques in Liyue's martial arts novels, which rely on low-level methods of restoring memories through love and friendship; it's about directly altering 'existence'.
Reality has clearly been altered by the World Tree.
It can be said.
That's reality!
Lin Jiu'an showed no signs of entering the World Tree to make any further changes.
The stragglers were starting to lose their temper and wanted to kill her.
But he knew he couldn't kill her, otherwise his 'image' would be ruined. At this crucial moment, his image absolutely could not be compromised in the slightest, otherwise no one would protect him when Lin Jiu'an killed him. And once he lost his 'righteousness,' he would have no way to survive.
He could only suppress the rage in his heart that almost made him want to tear Nel and Desia apart.
"What nonsense!"
The sage angrily rebuked, "What evidence do you have to slander our great hero of Mount Sumeru out of thin air?"
"Hey you, you're Dixia, the bodyguard of the Huma family, right?"
"If you continue to slander Ah Mao in public like this, don't blame us for being impolite."
"evidence?"
"Of course I do."
The words fell.
Whether they were soldiers or sages sitting on the stage.
The guards who were still standing on that stage, surrounding Nel and Desia.
Or perhaps it refers to the people who were preparing to witness the most important and beautiful moment of the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," the "Flower Goddess's Dance," dedicated to the Little Lucky Grass King.
Or perhaps they weren't here at all.
The people of Sumeru, whether at home or elsewhere in Sumeru, are doing other things.
All the people of Sumeru who wore the Void Terminal simultaneously received a message.
It was as if a memory was being transmitted to the minds of the people of Sumeru, telling them what the "scattered soldiers" had done, how the "scattered soldiers" had replaced Lin Jiu'an as Ah Mao, and what the true hero had ended up with.
For a while.
The people of Sumeru and the wise men of the Instruction Hall, who were kept in the dark, looked at the scattered soldiers with suspicion and uncertainty.
The expressions of the stragglers were extremely gloomy.
"Let's set aside whether this information is true or false."
"How do you send information into the void?"
The sage, who was of the same faction as the scattered soldiers, said coldly, "What are you all standing there for? Arrest them first!"
"Where is the discipline officer?!"
Upon hearing the sage's command, the Self-Defense Forces and Disciplinary Officers of the Order hesitated, but most of them still took action.
Regardless of the truth, the order is there.
The crowd below looked at the soldier with suspicion and hoped he would come forward to explain, but no one stood up to speak for Nel and Desia.
Dixia's strength was ultimately limited, and she also had to protect Nel, who was a burden.
Soon.
They were in grave danger from the disciplinary officers of the Order of the Church and the self-defense forces of Sumeru City.
Just as the two were about to be taken away, a figure suddenly rushed into the arena, grabbed Dixia and Nilu's hands, and the disciplinary officers and self-defense soldiers who had surrounded them felt as if a hand was pushing them away, and unconsciously took several steps back.
The crowd could then see the man's face clearly.
That was the face of the 'true hero' from my memory!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, the other party had already jumped onto a nearby house with Nel and Dixia and escaped.
"Why are you still standing there?!"
The wise men of the Church issued an order in annoyance.
"Now! Immediately! Place the entire city under martial law!"
"Find them and their accomplices!"
······
Back in his room, the soldier's expression visibly darkened.
"These damn guys!"
"There's no need to be so angry; these are all things that could have been expected."
The soldier glanced gloomily at the indifferent-looking sage of the Order of the Fathers.
He was extremely annoyed.
Of course you can stay calm!
there is a problem.
At worst, you'll just be banished to the forest by Nasida.
But he was really going to be killed by Lin Jiu'an!
Especially those useless Self-Defense Force soldiers and disciplinary officers, they couldn't even beat a woman, letting her talk on stage for so long. If it were back in the days of the Fools, he would have killed those incompetent and useless subordinates long ago.
"What should we do now?" the stragglers asked coldly.
The sage smiled faintly and said, "There are currently two solutions."
Seeing the so-called sage still pretending to be mysterious and keeping him in suspense, the soldier barely suppressed his murderous intent.
If he weren't outmatched by Lin Jiu'an, he would have wiped out all those disgusting guys long ago!
"explain."
"Firstly, they vehemently deny that memory and portray it as a fabricated memory."
"Anyway, it's about throwing mud at them."
"Although it may cause people to have doubts in the short term."
"But once we catch the other party and solve the root of the problem, over time, no one will care about this matter anymore."
The stragglers sneered, "Easier said than done."
"Even I couldn't beat them back then."
"With your bunch of useless disciplinary officers and Self-Defense Force soldiers, who can catch him?!"
"Then there's only the second method left."
"what way?"
The sage smiled faintly.
"Using power to intimidate others!"
······
There is a tavern in Sumeru City.
now.
Although a major disturbance occurred at the main venue of the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival" and the city was sealed off, it did not affect the lively atmosphere of the people of Sumeru City celebrating the festival. In any case, there were no deaths or other alarming incidents.
On the contrary, the issue of "real and fake heroes" has given the public something to talk about.
Have you heard what happened over in the square?
"Of course I heard about it."
"Everyone has a Void Terminal, which Sumeru person doesn't know that?"
"So, who's telling the truth?"
"It's hard to say, but one of them is definitely fake."
A woman in a hooded coat lingered for a while before leaving the tavern with food and drinks.
We arrived at the other party's hotel.
The woman went up to the second floor, knocked on the door of the innermost room, and whispered, "It's me." The door opened, and the woman entered the room, where she saw three people, some sitting and some standing.
They are Lin Jiu'an, Nilu, and Dixia.
"Nilu, you were so cool just now."
The woman took off her hood.
What was revealed was a delicate yet noble young woman's face.
It was Dina Zede, the person Dixia wanted to protect.
Dina Zede's face was flushed as she placed the food she had bought on the table, her eyes shining as she looked at Nilu.
Although she had no memories of her past life, with the joint testimony of Nilu and Dixia, she still believed Lin Jiu'an without hesitation. After Lin Jiu'an cured the demon scale disease that was tormenting her, she became even more convinced of his identity and words.
Nilu's little face was a little flushed.
Just now, I was on stage, and I was just venting my anger by rebuking the soldiers and sages. Now that I've come to my senses, I still feel a little embarrassed.
What are your plans next?
Dixia looked at Lin Jiu'an.
"Wait."
"wait?"
Dina Zede and Nil were both drawn to the attention.
Even though I know this is a "dream".
But as Sumeru people, they absolutely did not want things to go to the worst possible outcome.
“The sages of the Order of the Church and the scattered soldiers are colluding together. If they want to cover up the truth, the people of Sumeru will definitely be kept in the dark,” Dina Zede said with concern.
“Waiting like this isn’t a solution. We can find some more help,” Dixia suggested.
Lin Jiu'an smiled slowly, watching as Dixia and the other women grew increasingly anxious.
Before Dixia and the others could ask any more questions, they were all taken aback.
