After listening to Nahida's series of explanations on forbidden knowledge, Paimon couldn't help but ask, "Then since the consciousness that remains here as the Great Mercy Tree King has also been polluted by the forbidden knowledge, does that mean the death of the Great Compassion Tree King?"

'Nahida' nodded, "Well, it's very likely that she gave her life in the confrontation with forbidden knowledge. ”

"Although the forbidden knowledge has not been eradicated this time, if it weren't for what she did, there would not have been so few signs of pollution in the past five hundred years."

"Including me, everyone's forgetfulness of the concept of forbidden knowledge should also be the influence of her restoration of the World Tree."

'Nahida': "."

Nahida suddenly clutched her chest, revealing a look of pain, causing Paimon to ask worriedly, "Nahida, are you alright?" ”

'Nahida' replied: "... I'm feeling her pain. Consciousness is so polluted here, and madness, chaos, and pain are everywhere. ”

"Is it under such circumstances that she insists on fighting against the pollution of forbidden knowledge until she dies..."

"Even with the last vestiges of sobriety, he left us a clue..."

Listening to Nahida's words, Sora added, "That sentence [. . The world forgets me. 】？ ”

Nahida nodded, "That's right, this sentence is still disturbed by forbidden knowledge, so that we can only hear these key words. ”

"This time, though, we'll have a chance to find the answer to this puzzle."

In Sora, when Paimon and the others were talking to Nahida, Ying also walked up to Nahida and asked in a whisper, "Nahida, do you feel the kind of feeling she said?" ”

Nahida shook her head and said, "I can't feel it, because I'm not the Nahida of this world, so I can't feel the pain of the contamination of forbidden knowledge. ”

"What about forbidden knowledge and demonic disease, did you know before?" Ying continued to ask.

"I don't know, about the forbidden knowledge and the Demon Disease, in my impression, they disappeared three hundred years ago, and it should be related to her resurgence." Nahida thought for a moment and replied, "I still know all this from Genshin Impact II. ”

"Well, if you say that, then we can skip Sumeru there." Ying scratched her head.

Nahida replied with a smile: "Of course not, aren't there still doctors and skirmishers, as well as the Red King and the Flower God that Tassel has in mind, but the development of the plot will be a little unexpected, and I think it will definitely be more exciting." ”

"yes, hehe, we'll fix these Fatui executives when the time comes." Listening to Nahida's words, Yingmo said excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go and meet the Great Mercy Tree King of this world, I want to know, how is she different from tassels." Nahida spoke.

Shadow: "( ̄~ ̄)Chew"

Shadow kept taking out the three-colored dumplings that Nahida had bribed her to make before, and with every bite, her eyes narrowed happily because of the deliciousness of the three-colored dumplings.

Like an outsider, she silently followed the others until she left what looked like a cave.

After leaving the cave, Paimon looked at the group of hilichurls and beast hounds in front of him and couldn't help but complain, "Why are there beast hounds and hilichurls in the consciousness space?" ”

"These are supposed to be the so-called pollution." 'Nahida' began.

Hearing Nahida's words, Paimon suggested to the empty next to him, "Then Sora, let's go get rid of them." ”

Sora: "??? ”

Paimon, do you want me dead? There are so many ahead, just let me solve it alone? Are you lacking in eyes?

"Come on, this place is indeed going to be purified." Nahida probed the space for a moment before speaking.

"Ying, give me that sword to use."

"Okay."

After speaking, Ying handed the Divine Body Transformation Sword in her backpack to Nahida.

Nahida took the Divine Body Transformation Sword, feeling the familiar and friendly feeling coming from the sword, she exhaled softly, and activated her divine power, and the golden flames that were even stronger than when Ying had used her skills before burned on the Divine Body Transformation Sword.

As Nahida finished charging and swept ahead, a circle of golden flames spread rapidly from her surroundings to all directions, and all the ominous places where the flames swept turned into nothingness.

Paimon's eyes widened in shock and he said, "That's it, it's all settled?" ”

"Let's go, do you see the ship? This is supposed to be the boat of consciousness, and as soon as we get on it, it will take us to the right place. Nahida said, pointing to the boat floating in the air in front of her.

"Why do you know so much?" Paimon couldn't help but ask.

Nahida replied, "I've experienced it once before, and I'll be familiar with it later." ”

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Okay. ”

After several people followed one after another, they looked around curiously, and even 'Nahida' looked at the surrounding environment with a curious expression.

"What are you looking at here, you guys are going to sail the boat." Nahida looked at the few people in this world who didn't know what to do at all, and couldn't help but remind.

"Huh? Are you talking about us? Paimon asked, pointing to himself.

"Aren't you still the three of us? We don't know where the World Tree is, and this is Thor, so we can't do things across businesses. Nahida said, glancing at Paimon.

Hearing Nahida's words, Paimon scratched his head and said, "Well, that's what I'm saying, Nahida, go over and sail the boat." ”

Null: "."

Nahida: "."

After Nahida had set the ship's course, Sora activated the Ark of Consciousness and sent it on its own course towards its destination.

"That's fine, we shouldn't have found the wrong place, right?" When Sora had done all of this, Paimon asked Nahida.

"Well, if I'm feeling good, the Boat of Consciousness will get us to our destination in no time." 'Nahida' nodded.

After doing all this, several people also walked down from the driver's position.

"Already?" Ying asked.

Paimon replied, "Well, that's fine, we've got it done." ”

"That's good, I haven't even seen the World Tree yet, I don't know what it looks like, it's a bit exciting." Ying said excitedly.

"I hope there will be no more variables, and this time we should be able to meet the Great Mercy Tree King."

Nahida glanced at her and said lightly, "As long as you choose the right direction, there will be no variables." ”

'Nahida': "."

Paimon pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Anyway, Nahida has never seen the Great Mercy Tree King before?" ”

Nahida shook her head and said, "No, my birth seems to coincide with her death, if it weren't for that, I think she would have given me more guidance, and I would have done better than I have now." ”

Listening to the words of the little straw bale, Nahida sighed helplessly, the other party was right, if there was no Great Mercy Tree King, she would also become the same as the current little straw bale, and she would not have grown to the current state at all.

"Nahida, what's wrong with you, what's the sigh you are sighing for?" Ying wondered.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw my naïve and stupid self from her." Nahida shook her head and said with a smile, "Now every time I think of my naïve thoughts at that time, I feel funny, but at that time, I didn't know it, but I always thought that my thoughts were correct. ”

"But fortunately, the Great Cishu King has been paying attention to me since she recovered, and slowly changed my mind from some places, so that I am no longer so naïve, compared to her, I am really quite lucky, because counting the time, the time I was really locked up in the Jingshan Palace is only two hundred years."

"Nahida, have you seen the Great Mercy Tree King in your world?" The little straw bale asked expectantly at Nahida.

Nahida nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yes." ”

The little straw bale continued, "Huh? Is the Great Tree King the same as you? ”

"The Great Cishu King is much taller than me, and he is much better looking than me." Nahida replied with a smile.

"It's even better looking than this Nahida, well, I can't imagine how beautiful the real Great Mercy Tree King is." Hearing Nahida's words, Paimon scratched his head.

"Really? You know so well, you must have experienced this, right? Including what you said about using two divine hearts to open the space of consciousness, and later forbidden knowledge. ”

"I see, is this Nahida also the Great Mercy Tree King that she saw in the consciousness space?" Listening to the straw bale, Paimon continued to ask.

"It's a secret." Nahida shook her head and said, she didn't plan to explain to them that the Great Mercy Tree King in that world had been resurrected again.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Well, okay, we'll see for ourselves later." ”

While the few people were talking, the Ark of Consciousness also reached its destination, and several people also saw a pink tree standing not far ahead.

"This is here, at the foot of the World Tree?" Paimon asked.

Hearing Paimon's familiar voice, Ying couldn't help but complain, "How many times have I said it, I'm not blind, I don't need you to explain." ”

Paimon: "."

Null: "."

Sora also knew another thing from Yingying's actions, that is, not only was he not doing well in that world, but even Paimon, who was Ying's partner, was also having a bad time, and thinking of this, he mourned for a second for himself in the other world and Paimon at the same time.

"This is the World Tree? It doesn't look good. Ying looked at the pink trees in front of her, which were less than 100 meters high, and said with some disappointment.

Nahida nodded in agreement, "Well, compared to the Golden Tree, the scale of the World Tree is indeed 100 million points smaller. ”

"We're here to find the Great Mercy Tree King, aren't we?" Paimon suddenly saw something, and asked the others with a confused expression.

"yes, what's wrong?" Sora wondered.

"But how could it be Nahida from another world standing there?"

Nahida heard Paimon's voice and stared at it, and countless question marks crept all over her little head.

"Why is it the way I am?"

"Nahida, what's wrong?" Ying wondered.

Nahida explained: "Something is wrong, it's quite wrong, because according to the plot, the Great Mercy Tree King in front of me should be the appearance of this little straw bag, but in our world, the Great Mercy Tree King is the Great Mercy Tree King, and it can't be my appearance." ”

"You are the King of the Great Mercy Tree?" Nahida spoke to the same phantom in front of her.

"Well, that's me, is this one that surprises you?" The Great Tree of Mercy replied.

Nahida wondered, "Why is it the way I am, shouldn't it be hers?" ”

"Hehe, because I think it's better to appear in your likeness, Bouiller in another world." The Great Mercy Tree King said with a smile.

Nahida couldn't help but complain, "What is the reason for this? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you! ”

"Hehe, you won't, because you can't do it." The Great Mercy Tree King shook his head and said.

"Heh, you wait, I'll call my tree king to beat you later, I can't do it, but she did, you wait, there is absolutely no good fruit for you to eat." Nahida said with some anger, although this person is also the Great Mercy Tree King, but not her Great Mercy Tree King.

King of the Great Mercy Tree: "Hehe, it's good if you're happy." ”

Nahida: "."

Listening to the words of the Great Cishu King, Nahida was full of question marks, why is the Dacishu King in front of her so disdainful, it is not at all different from the gentle Dacishu King in the plot, thinking of this, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"This place reproduces the appearance of the World Tree and the Earth back then, but it is also a space of consciousness after all, and the World Tree is not here." The Great Tree King seemed to see Nahida's thoughts and said to her.

Nahida: "??? ”

"Nahida, you haven't finished reading the plot, have you?" Ying listened to the words of the Great Cishu King, and her heart was a little unsettled, and she couldn't help but ask Nahida.

"I, didn't I forget, I didn't finish it, you pulled me over." Nahida said with a wink.

"Good fellow, aren't we working in vain?" Ying said with an uncomfortable face.

"Ahem, it shouldn't be, when the time comes, just ask this Great Mercy Tree King, and then find the World Tree." Nahida replied, "Besides, you're not looking for the wrong one. ”

Ying: "."

"Now you know to ask me?" The King of the Great Mercy Tree squinted at her with Nahida's appearance and said with a smile on his face.

Nahida: "."

Seeing that Nahida was silent, the Great Mercy Tree King continued, "Are you curious why I use your form? ”

"Hmm." Nahida nodded.

"Then you are curious first, and I will answer the question of this Bouyere first." King Dacishu continued.

Nahida: "??? ”

At this time, if Nahida could no longer see that there was something wrong with the Great Cishu King in front of her, she would be really a fool, and she seriously suspected that this Dacishu King had an unknown relationship with the tassels.

"King of the Great Mercy Tree, why did you become like her?" Little Straw Bale also asked.

"Well, because our essence is the same, whether it is you, or Buyer in the other world, and me, it is the same." King Dacishu explained.

The little straw bale continued to ask, "Why. Will it be essentially the same? ”

The King of the Great Mercy Tree smiled at the little straw bale and said, "Because you are me, I am you, and you are my reincarnation." ”

Little bale: "Reincarnation."

"As the King of the Great Tree of Compassion, I am the embodiment of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch of the World Tree, just like - even if the tree dies, the branch will one day take root and grow to continue life in another form. ”

"In front of you, I am just a remnant of my consciousness as the King of the Great Mercy Tree, and the real I think I must have been dead for a long time, right?"

Saying this, the Great Mercy Tree King glanced at the little straw bale and continued: "Hmm, if you extrapolate the time from your current appearance, I have probably been dead for about five hundred years..."

"You're finally here, me after reincarnation."

"Nahida, is what the Great Tree of Mercy said true? Are you her reincarnation? Listening to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, Ying also asked Nahida.

"She's lying to ghosts, how can it be reincarnation, even if as she said, I am a branch broken off from her, but I am not her, because the original tree still exists, but a new consciousness is born in the new branch, although we look the same, but there is no such thing as reincarnation." Nahida replied.

"The Great Mercy Tree King is the Great Mercy Tree King, it can't be Nahida, and Nahida is Nahida, and it can't be the Great Mercy Tree King."

"Then why did the Great Mercy Tree King say that?" Ying asked curiously.

Nahida explained: "Give her a kind of relief, in your parlance, it is equivalent to when your whole body is eroded by cancer cells and is critically ill, only a few cells are intact, and in order to continue your existence, you divide the normal cells and clone a complete self, but will that cloned self still be you?" ”

After listening to Nahida's abstract explanation, Ying suddenly said, "I see. ”

"yes, there's one more thing, haven't you noticed?" Nahida said suddenly.

Ying wondered, "What? ”

Nahida said with a serious face, "The content of our words has been blocked by the Great Mercy Tree King in front of us, and the travelers here, Paimon, and Little Straw Bale can't hear our conversation at this time. ”

Ying: "??? ”

"Ei, can you hear what we're saying?" Ying turned to Shadow and spoke.

"I can hear you, I can hear exactly what you said before, but what are cells and clones?" Speaking of this, Shadow looked at the two of them with some confusion.

"It's nothing, after all, the two of us are from another world, and it's normal that some words don't exist here." Ying opened her mouth to explain.

Shadow bit a three-colored ball and continued: "Well, although I don't know why this tree king blocked our conversation, it doesn't affect me, we can just hear their conversation." ”

"It doesn't matter what world you are, you still like sweets as always." Looking at the shadow of the mouth, Ying said helplessly.

"Well, sweets are delicious, and I believe that no matter what world I am, I can't resist the temptation of sweets." Shadow replied with a serious face.

On the side, after listening to the explanation of the Great Cishu King, Kong couldn't help but speak: "The Little Auspicious Grass King and the Great Cishu King are actually in this relationship."

Xiao Caobao listened to the words of the Great Cishu King, looked at the other party expectantly and asked, "If you say this, is it -... Will I become a great god like you one day? ”

The Great Cishu King shook his head and said, "Although you and I have the same essence, our fates will definitely be different, and everything has its own destiny. ”

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

Little Straw Bale continued: "So fate is the ultimate knowledge, right? ”

"That's a good idea, I don't approve of it." The Great Mercy Tree King nodded.

Little bale: "? ”

You don't approve of it, so what do you say it's a good idea, make fun of me, right?

"And because of this, you will be me again"

Hearing the words of the Great Cishu King, Xiao Caobao's heart suddenly changed, and he lowered his head a little uncomfortably and muttered, "Is it?"

"But you may become a greater god than me, hehe."

However, the words of the Great Cishu King made Xiao Caobao raise his head suddenly and look at each other in surprise.

King Dacishu continued: "I have seen in you that I did not have the will back then, and the future it leads to is the destiny that belongs only to you, and those are also the gifts brought by everything you have experienced in the past. ”

Saying this, the Great Mercy Tree King glanced at Nahida in the distance and continued to say to the little straw bale: "Don't worry, the growth of wisdom is actually like grass and trees, you just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom. ”

Sora once again showed his sense of existence, and said earnestly to the little straw bag, "I also believe that Nahida will definitely become a very great god. ”

Paimon listened to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, and spread his hands and said, "Now that I think about it, the eyes of the sages of the Akademiya are really hopeless..."

"I think the Akademiya's behavior before was normal." Nahida whispered from the side.

Ying: "??? ”

What are you talking about, Nahida, don't you agree that the sages of the Akademiya have locked you up?

Nahida shook her head and said, "Of course I don't agree with what they did now, on the contrary, I will take revenge on them, but it is difficult for me to say before, I suspect that she may also be stupidly killed by herself, and the god of wisdom, heh!" ”

Ying: "6. ”

After listening to Nahida's words, Yingdu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, and even the person who scolded herself was really a warrior.

Xiao Caobao listened to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, took a few steps forward, and said to the Great Mercy Tree King with a serious face: "Thank you... This is really a very happy thing, the target I have always admired is actually myself with a different fate..."

"It's good to be able to talk to you, King of the Great Mercy Tree, I've always wanted to see you..."

The Great Mercy Tree King replied with a smile, "Why don't I, from the moment I broke off the branches of the World Tree and created you, I have been looking forward to talking to you like this. ”

"You liar, is it really good that you bully a little straw bag like this? You don't have a word of truth, it's even better than a tassel! Nahida couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but complain on the side, because the Great Mercy Tree King in front of her was really abnormal.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded directly in Nahida's mind: "You have the ability to say a few words, I think you want to go to heaven, you don't eat fried chestnuts with sugar for a while, your skin is itchy, isn't it?!" ”

Nahida: "!! ”

While Nahida was frightened by the sudden words of the Great Mercy Tree King, the little straw bales over there continued to ask the Great Mercy Tree King, "Can you tell me about it... What was created about me? And what happened to you when you died..."

The Great Mercy Tree King didn't pay attention to Nahida next to him, but nodded at the little straw bag as if nothing had happened, "Well, I know, you're here to seek answers, right?" ”
