Buyer, the name of the little grass god Nahida, if Chen Yi didn't guess wrong, he should still be locked up in the Jingshan Palace.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Dear Sir." The Great Mercy Tree King nodded and said.

Then she looked at Chen Yi with a pleading face.

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Yi nodded and agreed.

If nothing else, the main thing is that the group of people in the Akademiya who he looks at are also a little unpleasant.

Bidding farewell to the Great Cishu King, Chen Yi's thoughts returned to the room.

As soon as he returned, he scrubbed his chin and pondered the feasibility of what the Great Mercy Tree King had requested.

In the end, I found that it seemed that the promise was a bit hasty at that time.

He doesn't know much about this.

【Ding! Host requirements detected. 】

[Genshin Impact Plot PV - The Last Tree King is in place.] 】

[Do you want to play it?] 】

[Note: If you receive a certain degree of popularity after starting playing, PV can appear in reality simultaneously.] 】

[Do you want to launch a game?] 】

Just as Chen Yi was thinking, the voice of the system sounded.

This prompt tone immediately made Chen Yi's eyes light up.

Then, he hurriedly browsed this PV first, and then, a pair of eyes brightened.

"System, Delivery!"

What else is there to say, it must be put on, big put!

【Ding! The plot PV - "The Last Tree King" has been released. 】

【Loading in the game.. 】

【Ding! The game has been successfully loaded and has been distributed to each player for the host. 】

At the same time, Zhongli and Wendy, who were far away in Mondstadt, also suddenly heard the sound of this system.

"The Last Tree King?"

Seeing this prompt, Zhongli and the others were stunned.

Didn't understand what that meant.

"Hey."

Wendy laughed, then asked:

"What do you think, old man?"

"Hmm~~!"

Zhongli touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then let out a long breath.

Admittedly, he didn't understand the meaning either.

But, if you guessed correctly, this should be a PV that will randomly appear before the official start of the game that Chen Yi mentioned when he introduced the game to them.

Moreover, the "tree king" in this reminder should refer to the king of a thousand trees in Sumeru.

What Zhongli couldn't understand was that when Chen Yi introduced the game PV to them, he said that the scenes that would appear in this random PV were basically related to the people who played the game.

In other words, it has to do with him and Barbatos.

But this is exactly what Zhongli can't understand.

Although the King of a Thousand Trees in Sumeru is also one of the Seven Rulers of the World, just like them.

However, the seven gods in the world have never had much communication.

Naturally, there is not much to do with it.

The reason why he is friendly with Barbatos is because this guy doesn't play his cards according to common sense.

I ran to Liyue twice in three days, and I saw a lot, so I naturally got to know each other.

Zhongli didn't understand how the game system determined that there was a relationship between them.

Finally, Zhongli said to Wendy, who was full of doubts:

"In general reason, this 'King of Trees' should refer to the King of a Thousand Trees in Sumeru."

"And the word "last" must mean that the plot may be related to her death."

I have to say that Zhongli's guess is very reasonable.

Although I didn't guess the truth, it wasn't far off.

"I see."

Wendy listened thoughtfully.

He also guessed that it might have something to do with the Tree King of Sumeru, but no

Too sure.

[Do you want to start playing the PV "The Last Tree King"?] 】

[Yes/No?? 】

Just as the two of them were deep in thought, the prompt in front of them reappeared.

"Playback."

There was no hesitation, since they had already come, the two naturally chose to play it.

Buzz~!

The next moment they chose to play, the eyes of the two changed.

They found themselves in a patch of pink-dotted place.

Here, there is a huge pink towering ancient tree.

The scent of ancient trees is very long and vast.

At a glance, it's like looking at the whole world.

This is the World Tree.

Seeing the World Tree, Zhongli and Wendy's hearts were shocked.

They had always known about the existence of the World Tree, but they had never seen it before, even as gods.

Only humans whose consciousness is recognized by the World Tree and then connected are qualified to see what the World Tree looks like, and in this respect, there is no difference between gods and humans.

"This is the polluted World Tree." 「

Zhongli and Wendy soon notice that in the middle of the frame, a large black mass has climbed the World Tree.

The beautiful old tree, which was originally pink and shiny, has been transformed into silt, which is extremely ugly.

From there, there was a very evil aura that kept coming.

Seeing this scene, both Zhongli and Wendy couldn't help but think of the great battle five hundred years ago.

In that great war five hundred years ago, only the Sumeru Tree King had the heaviest task.

Although she was not directly involved in that war, what she did was more important than victory on the frontal battlefield.

What she did was to protect the World Tree.

Seeing this, both Zhongli and Wendy had a kind of realization in their hearts.

If you guess correctly, the picture that should appear next should be the appearance of the tree king.

Sure enough, the two were not wrong in their guesses.

Not long after the black pollution appeared in the World Tree, a barefoot, silver-haired beautiful woman came to the World Tree.

The woman's gaze was full of softness, softness and kindness.

There is no doubt that she is a good deity.

Seeing the pollution that the World Tree was enduring, she did not hesitate to exhaust all her strength, and finally removed the black pollution from the World Tree.

However, that black pollution has not disappeared from this world, because as a member of the World Tree, the beautiful woman herself has been polluted by that dark aura.

She can do it by purifying the World Tree, but she can't purify herself.

This is a refutation outside of knowledge.

Eventually, under the incomprehensible gaze of Zhongli and Wendy.

The glamorous woman broke off the purest branches of the World Tree and transformed it into a new god by destroying herself.

This is the passing of the previous generation of grass gods, and the rebirth of the current generation of grass gods.

There is no overlap between the two at any point in time.

The moment one disappears, the other is born.

There is no doubt that it was the former grass god Daci Tree King who disappeared, and the current grass god Little Auspicious Grass King was born.

"Hmm~~...."

Seeing this scene, Zhongli and the two were silent.

They knew about the change of Sumeru's godship, but they didn't know the relationship between the modern grass god and the previous generation of grass gods.

I didn't expect that one to make such a choice in the end.

The moment the two were silent, the picture continued.

After the birth of the little auspicious grass king, the picture turned to five hundred years later.

It's also under the World Tree, but this time it's in a dream, and the two grass gods meet.

The Great Mercy Tree King asked gently:

"You're finally

It's still here, after [reincarnation]."

"Why, does the way I look now, surprise you?"

The little auspicious grass king asked uncertainly, "I...?" You look like me... It's exactly the same..?"

King of the Great Tree of Mercy:

"We are the same in nature, so we appear exactly the same."

Little Auspicious Grass King: "Why...? Why is it essentially the same?"

King of the Great Tree of Mercy:

"Because I am you, you are me, you are my reincarnation."

The gentle voice of the Great Mercy Tree King resounded under the World Tree, and she explained everything to the young little grass god.

"As the King of the Great Mercy Tree, I am the embodiment of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch of the World Tree."

"It's like, even if a tree dies, the branches will one day take root and grow."

"In another form, to continue life."

「.....」

"Although you and I are the same in nature, our fates must be different, and everything has its own destiny."

"It's like when a branch grows into a tree, it can't be exactly the same as the original one."

"That's why you won't be me anymore..."

"Don't worry, the growth of wisdom is actually like grass and trees, you just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom."

「.....」

"Five hundred years ago, six of the seven gods, except for me, were called to a kingdom called Kanria."

"And I have a more important task."

"The mental pain began to torment me, and by the time I reached the foot of the World Tree, it was already being eaten away by forbidden knowledge."

"Knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is the [truth] that cannot be understood."

"If forbidden knowledge is allowed to continue to pollute the World Tree, I'm afraid the whole of Teyvat will fall apart."

「......」

"However, things are not as simple as I thought."

"I just remembered that my consciousness and the World Tree are connected."

"The World Tree has given me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution has also found me."

"From the very beginning, my existence has been tainted by forbidden knowledge."

"Even if I die, my existence, everything related to me will still be preserved in the World Tree as memories and knowledge, so that forbidden knowledge cannot be erased."

"And I, I can never eliminate myself, it's a paradox."

"So, I broke off the purest branch of the World Tree, created you, and left a trail."

"Just so that you can come here, pollute me, and completely erase it from the World Tree..."

"If you erase me from the World Tree... It's like I've never existed in this world."

"But, again, this is the only way to truly save the World Tree."

「....」

"No, no, that's not right."

"People are clear... I love you so much, I... I also.. I've always wanted to be you."

"How can you... I forgot about you like that..."

In the picture, after hearing the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, countless tears were left in the corners of the Little Grass King's eyes.

She began to cry and became very hesitant.

"Bouille, you are the god of wisdom, you should know that there is no other way but this."

"Alright, don't be sad, Bouill, as a wise man, you should be glad to have found the answer."

The Great Tree King walked over, and she gently caressed Nahida's face.

The eyes are gentle and reassuring, as if a mother is comforting her child, and then hug her.

"That's the answer you've been looking for, the one you want to know the whole picture."

"Let the world completely forget me. 】。」

At this point, the first act ends.

But, for some reason, seeing this scene, Zhongli and Wendy seemed to have something in their hearts.

Both fell silent for a long time.

The two continued to watch.

Then, a different picture appears.

It's in the form of an animation, accompanied by a melancholy tune and a monologue.

[We all inhabit under the World Tree and try to read the world. 】

[Read from the soil, read from the rain...]

[Then he turned into a white bird and climbed the branches.] 】

[In my dreams, everyone will fall asleep after nightfall. 】

[There are always a lot of whimsical ideas in people's minds.] 】

[Some rolled to the ground, some floated to the sky.] 】

[She connects everything into a dazzling web.] 】

[Among the three thousand worlds, there is a small world, where all dreams are boiling. 】

..

At this point, the picture returns to the World Tree.

Under the World Tree, the figure of the Great Mercy Tree King gradually became virtual.

Eventually, she turned into tens of thousands of green fallen leaves and floated into the World Tree.

The green leaves are shady, which also indicates that the tree king will not come.

The voice continued to sound:

[I am the one who proposes, and I am the one who seeks solutions. 】

[Saving the world with the dream of the world was my answer. 】

Now, you have found your own answer. 】

"I will return all my dreams to the world. 】

[O people of Sumeru, goodbye, may you enjoy your sweet dreams tonight...]

The voice of the Tree King finally ended in a peaceful picture of Sumeru City.

After the picture ended, Zhongli and Wendy came back to their senses from their silence.

The impact of this scene on them was no less than the impact of Sky Island.

They knew about the death of the Sumeru Tree King, but they didn't know the specific cause of her death.

In the past hundreds of years, because they have no friendship with the new gods of Sumeru, they have rarely paid attention to the situation in Sumeru.

But it wasn't until this time that the two of them realized how much they owed the tree king in Sumeru.

The two of them did not doubt the authenticity of the scene they had just seen, because whether it was the Five Spirit Kings or the Sky Island in front of them, they were all foreshadowing the truth of all this.

Wendy seemed to think of something, and said to Zhongli:

"Old man, Sumeru's words, I passed by there some time ago, and I heard that they seem to be preparing to create gods now, should we meddle in this matter?"

"I think that little grass god named Nahida is cute, would you like to help me do it?" I'll take her as my daughter."

Wendy had long had news about Sumeru's creation of gods, but before, he didn't plan to bother.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Think about it, if you rescue Nahida in kawaii and become her daughter, and then follow her to perform arts, it won't be worth it!

Zhongli: "...."

Zhongli did not answer Wendy's words, but pondered for a while and said:

"No, I'm not going to do it."

"Of course, the cause and effect with the Tree King must be returned, but there is far more suitable person to make a move in this matter than you and me."

"Someone better suited than you and me?"

Listening to Zhongli's words, Wendy was stunned for a moment, not knowing who Zhongli was referring to.

"Hmm."

Zhongli nodded:

"I think she's coming soon."

Zhongli didn't say who it was, but with Wendy's knowledge, he quickly knew who Zhongli was referring to.

Ray Movies!

i.e. Balzebu, the god of thunder!

There are two reasons for this.

First, the previous grass god is a hurdle in the heart of the shadow.

She thinks that the real death of Raiden has something to do with the fact that the Great Cishu King did not go to war.

Therefore, I have always had a grudge against the one in Sumeru.

After the truth is revealed, it is perfect for her to go to Sumeru.

The second reason is that it is the two Fatui executives who stir up the core of Sumeru's god-making.

The doctor doesn't mention it for the time being, but the Balladeer is the eldest son of Ray Movie.

Although she rarely acknowledges this son, there is no doubt about their relationship.

Therefore, this matter can be said to be a family affair of Inazuma's family.

It is much better for parents to deal with rebellious bear children than for outsiders to do it.

"Okay."

After thinking about this, the two of them took their minds off the Tree King's body.

Zhongli said, "Barbatos, let's continue to salt. I can't beat that thunder sound just now, and I'm going to cut it this time!"

Speaking of this, Wendy shook her head in frustration:

"Well, don't mention it, I'm still stuck with Stormterror, that guy is immune to wind damage, Gan!"

"And that fat lump of yours. The devil knows how it grows, the skin is thick to death, and the damage is very high."

"Get out of two feet, and I'll be played to death by it!"

After the two complained, they immediately entered the game.

.....

On the other hand, Shadow also finished watching this paragraph.

Then she fell into a long musing.

Three days later.

A tall woman with long braids behind her, holding the rice light of the naginagi grass in one hand and the old mother's special slippers in the other.

Facing a confused young man wearing a black hat and a flat head in front of her, he asked:

"Child, I have treated you badly for my mother all these years."

"Now between these two things, you can choose one."

Boy: "I... Can I... No... Don't choose?"

Woman: "What do you say?"

Boy: Wow~~~!

On that day, a cry resounded throughout the city of Sumeru.

The voice was miserable and sad.

Some say it was the cry of God.

Some people say that it must be a disobedient unlucky child who has been taught a lesson.

It was also said that it was a child who lacked love, crying because he had regained his mother's love.

...

After teaching the boy a lesson, the woman came to the second tallest building in Sumeru.

"I am Balzebu, let your great sage come!"

The woman walked in, her voice cold!

"Hello Your Excellency, I am the person you are looking for, I don't know what Your Excellency is looking for me?"

Soon, a middle-aged old man walked out, he looked at the woman, and asked respectfully.

"It's nothing, someone doesn't like you and kills you for someone!"

Shadow snorted coldly, and then, he lifted the big knife in his hand and gave the great sage a second.

Then, she released the imprisoned little grass god and left Sumeru.

At the same time, on the other hand, Chen Yi is planning to open a branch of an Internet café in Sumeru.

Without him, he felt that Sumeru was quite fun.

Just do it, and a few days later, Chen Yi opened the store.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Chen Yi took advantage of the time when the store was opened, and sent Klee's letter to the so-called Star Palace, and brought back a young girl from there, Mona.

Later, after sending Klee back to Mondstadt, he planned to stay with Sumeru for a while.

On Sumeru's side, Chen Yi met a lot of people, Dinazedei, Dehya, Nilou, little Nahida, and that

A little girl who loves to sleep, Layla.

The overall feeling is not bad.

On this day, Chen Yi was browsing the system.

He opened the system mall and wanted to see if there was anything good that he could buy and try.

However, after browsing, Chen Yi found that there were no good things to buy.

The things in the system mall are too ordinary.

It was either electrical appliances or some lighter-like gadgets, which made him completely uninterested.

Thinking about it, Chen Yi was going to shut down the system and go to do something else.
