Traveling in the desert is not a good experience. At least Shen Qianluo really hates being exposed to the scorching sun.

With a huge storage space, he and Longlong were not short of supplies. Although Shen Qianluo's original energy was the fire element, he was not a strange creature that could still feel comfortable in a harsh environment full of sand.

What's more, he now has Longlong with him.

Longlong was silent the whole way, just lying limply in his arms. Perhaps he felt hot... maybe stones should feel hot too?

After thinking about it, Shen Qianluo wanted to stuff a handful of ice cubes into Longlong's arms, but he felt that the ice cubes were not delicate enough and were not worthy of the precious Longlong and himself.

So Shen Qianluo nodded to himself and started to work on his craft.

Longlong raised his head quickly: "?"

Longlong first stated that it was not that he looked down on Shen Qianluo's craftsmanship, but the boy's aesthetic was a little eccentric, and he was worried that his aesthetic sense would not be understood by ordinary people.

Longlong reiterated that it was not that he disliked the cooling...artwork that Shen Qianluo made for him, but the young man had been tired from all the journey and Longlong had to take his feelings into consideration, so Longlong felt sorry for him.

Longlong finally stated that all pendants, ornaments, and objects of varying sizes produced by Shen Qianluo exude a natural, messy yet delicate beauty. They appear chaotic, but are actually well-organized. It may seem strange, but in fact, it is very strange.

Longlong's final statement...

Well, Longlong felt that if he didn't take action, Shen Qianluo would again make those who appreciated this handicraft suffer.

Longlong placed his dragon claw on Shen Qianluo's hand, which was mobilizing elemental power.

The boy might have intended to put a ball of grass element on the ice to keep it warm, but considering the problem of water leakage from the grass leaves, he first laid a layer of hideous-shaped rock prison.

It might be a dragon, and then he watched Shen Qianluo stuffing grass into the twisted dragon's mouth with peace of mind.

"Longlong, do you want to create with me?" Shen Qianluo seemed to be surprised by Longlong's sudden movement. He blinked, smiled softly, and took the initiative to hold the soft dragon claw.

Staring at Longlong's back, he smiled and gave him half of the creation rights. They put their palms together and drew a blueprint for reversing the journey of the scorching sun.

That is, the affectionate relationship between two non-human creatures.

But the people in Xumi were probably not so calm.

"Logically speaking, with my current strength, interpreting the last memory of the Great Compassion Tree King would require the blessing of at least two God's Hearts."

"But now..."

Standing in front of the World Tree with Sora and Paimon, Nashida seemed to have thought a lot.

"Just relying on the spatial fluctuations created by the scattered soldiers and that senior Xiaoshen, we successfully entered the depths of the remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King..."

They looked at each other, and the girl lowered her voice and said the final absurd conclusion: "He may be more powerful than any of us imagined."

"You mean... Qian Luo?" Kong frowned slightly. "The God of Righteousness contains the power of the Heart of Thunder God. Qian Luo may have the power of that person. When he confronted the doctor, he used the power of the contract."

"The god of Liyue, Senior Morax?" Nashida objected. "It's not his power, I'm sure of that. The fluctuations of Senior Xiaoshen's power are far different from that of the king of Liyue. I won't make a mistake."

"Do you remember when he started using the power of dreams?"

Sora was stunned for a moment, then he pinched his chin and started brainstorming.

After a series of "Wait, that's not it, think about it again" voices in his mind, he suddenly realized something and looked up.

"The doctor in reality escaped before we confronted the Great Sage, but his body was found fainted in the Ordinance Court. If someone hadn't deliberately transferred him, the doctor must have fallen into a dream before Qianluo saw you."

"But you only discovered the existence of dreams after Qianluo and you talked. After we pulled ourselves out of the dream, the reincarnation in the dream happened to be at the stage where Sanbing stopped the doctor in the suburbs and we started the final decisive battle together."

"If the dream authority that Qian Luo obtained was not the 'confidence beyond ability' that he hinted at when threatening you, and if it was not obtained from you after he met you..."

"So, from the very beginning, even before he made such a plan..." Nashida lowered her voice after receiving Sora's increasingly surprised gaze, "He already had the authority over dreams."

"I came to this world five hundred years ago. During these five hundred years, I have never seen Senior Xiaoshen who disappeared for a long time and appeared in Liyue again. What means and purpose did he use to take away the authority from me without anyone noticing? These are all questions worth thinking about."

His expression seemed to be hesitant to speak. Looking into the pair of grass-green eyes that were rarely serious and worried, Kong still expressed his guess in his heart: "Maybe... he met the God of Xumi five hundred years ago?"

"Have you thought of that, too? Indeed, Senior Xiaoshen is one of Liyue's founding demon gods. If he had seen the Great Compassion Tree King in an era too long ago, it is not impossible."

As she spoke, she looked up at the dreamy pink World Tree. Nashida had probably made up her mind and turned to look at Sora: "My first sage, can I ask you for a favor?"

"I would like to ask you to help me temporarily take charge of the Teachings Court. Senior Xiaoshen's existence is very important to me. I cannot help but care about him. He left a message to Sanbing that the truth exists in the desert, and he was also intentionally revealing clues to me."

"We have not been able to find the truth in the will of the Great Compassionate Tree King. The ultimate truth of such a long history must be buried in the endless yellow sand. I will personally pursue the knowledge called the truth. All government affairs will be connected to the void. Please, my first sage."

Slowly peeling away consciousness from the dream of the World Tree, the moment the god of Xumi opened his eyes, his movements froze slightly.

She met the eyes of the doctor who was standing in front of her with a slight smile on his face.

Suddenly, Nashida glanced at the man sleeping quietly in the cage beside her, and her eyes calmed down a little: "There are many different you in the world? The executive officer of the Fatui, Doctor."

"It is disappointing that even the God of Wisdom is bound by cognitive inertia."

The doctor in front of him had a calmer tone, and his voice was deeper than the one in sleep. He seemed to have experienced more complexities in the world. His tall body stood in front of the god, calm and arrogant.

"Okay, let's stop here. The experiment is over. It's time to sort out the equipment and recycle useful materials. For example... the Heart of God."

But he saw that the god in front of him did not show any nervousness or shock, but just lowered his eyelashes and looked at him deeply: "Do you think that Senior Xiaoshen will not reveal his predictions to me before leaving?"

The smile on the doctor's lips seemed to disappear for a moment.
