Chapter 3: Liyue's World Tree
Liyue, three bowls are not enough.
"Morax, how about making a deal?"
The tassel landed, and he directly expressed his intention to Zhongli, who had already begun to rot and become a social waster, and Morax already had Zhongli's identity at this time.
"Huh? God of wisdom, you have been revived again? Don't know what the deal is? ”
Looking at the god of wisdom who passed away two hundred years ago in front of him, Zhongli said in surprise that the recovery of old friends and the return of old friends made Zhongli's mood much better.
"I need to find a place in Liyue to settle for the World Tree. In exchange, the World Tree grows to shelter the people of Liyue and revive some of the departed Demon Gods. ”
Zhongli touched his chin, this was a completely unequal deal, the World Tree was in Liyue, which meant that Tassel had joined Liyue's camp and wanted to protect her, but the addition of gods was undoubtedly beneficial to Liyue, and he was also a good god of wisdom.
Moreover, the other party also said that he would resurrect the people who had died, and Zhongli did not doubt this, because the god of wisdom who had passed away stood in front of him again.
Zhongli thought for a moment and found that this matter was not simple: "This deal is not equal, I can't think of any benefit to you like this, and aren't you the god of Sumeru?" Your accession may lead to the destruction of Sumeru. ”
Tassel looked up at the sky, "You also know, Teyvat is an incomplete world, and the starry sky outside Teyvat is fake, indicating that there are problems with the existence of our world, and I need to make a world tree that is not bound by Teyvat, and store the forgotten existence in it." Sumeru's World Tree will be inspected by Celestial, and it is not safe there, so the newborn World Tree will have to leave Sumeru. ”
"You're a bold idea, but as Ling said, you really need to make a little change, but why Liyue, and the other six countries seem to fit this, right?"
Tassel turned his head to look at Zhongli and said, "I'm not the original god of wisdom, I'm from outside the realm, and my hometown is very similar to Liyue, so there's a sense of closeness. ”
Zhongli nodded, a little relieved, before speaking, "In that case, Liyue welcomes you to join us. ”
"In that case, then thank you Emperor Rock King. By the way, I'm not a god of wisdom now, my name is tassel. The tassel followed the local custom and thanked him.
Zhongli shook his head a little helplessly at the tassel's words, being called so by a former Seven Gods made him feel weird.
"My current name is Zhongli, and I will be called that in Liyue in the future, and I haven't been in Liyue for a long time."
"Alright, I need to find a place in Liyue to settle the World Tree, I don't know which location is suitable."
"In this case, it seems that Qingyunding's side is suitable for Anza."
"Well, I'll go first."
With that, the tassel turned into a streamer, and on this night, a huge tree began to grow violently to the left of Qingyunding, and in one night, a giant supertree appeared in Liyue.
To do this, the tassel hides the tree into the world mezzanine, that is, using the power of the world tree to reopen a space and transfer the world tree into it.
Outside, due to Zhongli's interference, the growth of the World Tree was not noticed by the others, but the immortals in the Peerless Cloud Realm were awakened from the retreat by this sudden anomaly.
All the immortals appeared around the growing World Tree, but there was nothing unusual here, except that Tassel and Zhongli were seen standing here.
"Liuyun, what's going on?" A yellow-brown bird rushed over and said to the blue-white bird standing on Mount Okuzo and watching the growing world tree, That's right, this is the Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Monarch who is known as the True Monarch of Two Pieces of Poultry Meat.
"I don't know that a tree suddenly grew before." Liuyun borrowed the wind and Zhenjun pointed to the empty place in front of him and said.
"Liuyun, there is no tree here as you said? Are you looking at the flowers? Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun said with a puzzled expression.
"No, I read that right, there's indeed a giant tree growing up ahead."
"Liuyun didn't say it, there was indeed a tree here before, but it was hidden, and it was a contract I signed with the new demon god in Liyue." Zhongli suddenly appeared behind the two immortals and spoke.
Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and said when he heard a familiar voice behind him: "I see, since it is the emperor's approval, then we have no doubts." ”
Regarding the view of Liuyun borrowing the wind Zhenjun, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun also agrees very much, and what the emperor decides must be a good thing.
Still, he turned to Zhongli curiously and asked, "Emperor, who is this new Demon God to Liyue?" ”
Zhongli looked at the growing World Tree with the enhanced version of the Void Terminal given by the tassel, and from the World Tree onwards, green energy continued to diverge towards the entire Liyue, and if you looked closely, the divergent energy was in the shape of an illusory leaf.
Zhongli stretched out his hand to take the green leaf floating in front of him, and after a while, the green leaf merged into his body, this energy was slightly healing his wear, although this power was insignificant to him, but it was effective for ordinary mortals.
Zhongli turned his head and bowed his head to the direction where the tassel was, "I have a heart." ”
The blessing of the God of Wisdom will save the people of Liyue from unnecessary disasters and fill them with vitality.
"You should have heard of this, the god of wisdom." Zhongli explained to the other immortals.
Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun and asked in surprise: "Is it the god of Sumeru next door?" But why did the gods of Sumeru join Liyue, when she didn't want her own kingdom? ”
"It's a long story, but to put it simply, she is no longer the god of wisdom she used to be, and Sumeru has already given birth to a new god, and by some coincidence, she has regained her life and signed a contract with me, which I can't refuse for Liyue now."
"I see." Liuyun borrowed the wind to understand what Zhongli meant, that is, Zhongli was doing this to benefit Liyue.
"Zhongli, the World Tree has been placed, I will give you the permission, so that you can back up your memories to the World Tree, because this tree is not related to Teyvat and is outside the world, so it can keep your memories from being modified and deleted by this world."
The tassel in the distance set up the World Tree, and when he turned his head, he saw the three people standing on Mount Okuzo, and flew over and said.
"What does this memory backup mean?"
In response to Zhongli's words, Tassel replied: "It is to make a copy of your current memory into this World Tree, and this memory will be stored in the World Tree as a backup, because your current memory and the memory of Quanteyvat are all affected by the World Tree in Sumeru, and I am only doing this to make your memory not affected by the World Tree in Sumeru in the future." ”
"Why do you do that?" Zhongli wondered.
"This world is incomplete, you must be aware of it, the passage of time will change everything, distort reality, even the World Tree that carries Teyvat's living beings will be affected by forbidden knowledge, I do this just to add an insurance, you know, if Teyvat's part of your existence is deleted, then the whole world will forget your existence."
"Moreover, Teyvat's creatures are all formed by relying on the World Tree, and there is only one fate for being deleted by the World Tree, that is, to completely disappear in this world, and even any of his deeds will be erased."
"If the World Tree in Sumeru erases a person's existence, then your memories will all be affected, and your existence about him will disappear, which is why the starry sky in Teyvat is false, because the whole world is false."
After listening to the tassel's explanation, Zhongli suddenly said: "I see, I understand." ”
Zhongli closed his eyes and connected his consciousness to the World Tree, backing up all his memories into this new World Tree, and after a few moments, he opened his eyes.
"It's an amazing feeling."
After doing all this, Zhongli felt as if his memories had been sorted out and became clear, without the suppressed sense of chaos that he had before.
"Memory, existence, it's really terrible, it turns out that there are such deeper problems in this world, but are you really okay with all this?"
Zhongli suddenly thought of something, and asked at the tassel, this kind of thing should not be known to him.
However, at this time, he also understood why when he fought against Kanriya, the Heavenly Principle Maintainer had to let the God of Wisdom stay in the World Tree, and if the World Tree suffered an accident, then Teyvat would also face a huge crisis.
"I'm different, I'm not a person in this world anymore, so the consciousness of this world has no effect on me, but now I still can't be discovered by Tianli and the maintainers, so I need to be stable."
"But you, so you believe what I say?" After the tassel finished speaking, he said to Zhongli with a smile.
Zhongli replied, "Hehe, I have my own understanding of the truth of the matter, and at this time I think you are trustworthy. ”
What Tassel says is just like the Genshin Impact plot, because the Great Cishu King was voluntarily forgotten, and after that, all the grass and trees in Teyvat, including the gods, forgot about her existence, and any footprints of her existence were erased, and only the Traveler remembered these, because the Traveler's memories were not affected by the World Tree.
"Well, you can also rub a memory in the tree." Zhongli turned his head to the two True Monarchs and said.
"Emperor, but what are we going to do?" Lishui Stacked Mountain Zhenjun wondered.
"Forget, you bring this with you." Tassel took out a void terminal and said to the two immortals.
"Hmm." According to Tassel, the two immortals rubbed a copy of their memories into the World Tree.
"Zhongli, I taught you the permissions of the World Tree before, and you can now check and manage all the functions of the World Tree."
The World Tree is like a supercomputer with unlimited computing power, and the people of Teyvat are connected to the World Tree just like a computer.
"Oh? What about you? ”
The World Tree is like the Grass God's body in Zhongli's impression, and the World Tree is also the core of Teyvat, and the Grass God was left to protect the World Tree, but at this time, Zhongli can feel that he can control the authority of this World Tree.
"Hey, I'm different, I don't need to carry memories, after all, the existence of this world tree is still carried by a trace of my soul, for example, I made a super external brain, I will give this brain to you to use, but I am not affected by the world, so I don't need this external brain."
"And the main ability of this tree is to protect your memories, but there is also an interesting ability, that is, you can collect traces of the existence of the demon god you know in the world tree, as well as collect people's wishes, when these reach a certain amount, the world tree will resonate, and you can successfully revive with this demon god, so what to do next is up to you."
Tassel explained that the principle of the World Tree was explained to Zhongli, meaning that the World Tree was not her own body like Teyvat's World Tree, and that the World Tree in front of her was just a made storage device.
"Can you revive the Demon God with this?" When Zhongli heard this, his eyes flashed.
Tassel continued, "Now you use your divine power to transform the World Tree, which will be more beneficial to your management. ”
After Zhongli heard this, he stretched out his hand to the World Tree, and the divine power in his hand surged in the direction of the World Tree, and the originally lush and green World Tree began to gradually be infected by the divine power generated by Zhongli, and the original emerald green leaves turned into golden yellow, and finally became a golden golden tree completely.
After Zhongli finished doing all this, he looked at the golden tree in front of him with the same breath as himself and sighed, "This World Tree is really magical. ”
"By the way, the Void Terminal I gave you earlier also runs on the World Tree, so you can spread this to Liyue, and this can collect people's wishes more accurately."
Tassel also teaches Zhongli how to make a modified version of the Void Terminal, as she has a bold idea.
"Collecting desires doesn't have an effect on people, does it?"
"No, wishes are a product that will dissipate over time even if you don't collect them, and the World Tree can collect these wandering wishes." Tassel explained.
"In this case, then I will be relieved."
After saying that, Zhongli took out the Heart of God and began to build the network of the Void Terminal according to the method given by the tassel.
