After taking care of the doctor's affairs, the Great Mercy Tree King officially announced that he was back in charge of Sumeru.

When the people of Sumeru heard the news, everyone had a fanatical smile on their faces, and they came to the gate of the Akademiya to pay homage to the Great Mercy Tree King.

In the Grand Bazaar, Cyno, Alhaitham and others also came to the gate of the Akademiya after learning the news.

"It's really the King of the Great Mercy Tree." Cyno looked at the Great Mercy Tree King who was talking at the door of the Akademiya in shock.

Alhaitham spoke: "It seems that the news is true, and it is certain that the sage of the Akademiya is not looking for a false god to fool the people. ”

"But isn't there one thing that is strange to you? Why are the people of Sumeru so fanatical, and what is that golden thing in the hands of the Great Mercy Tree King? Tighnari spoke suddenly.

"Yes, I also feel very strange, although I believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King, but I also respect the Great Cishu King, but why don't I have that fanatical feeling like theirs?" Dinazeda also said with some confusion.

"No, we didn't fall into this frenzy because we didn't wear the Void Terminal, you see the people of Sumeru with the Void Terminal, their Void Terminal turned golden." Cyno also sensed the difference, and hurriedly said, "The Great Cishu King may be using the Void Terminal to control the minds of the people of Sumeru. ”

"I'm curious, what is the golden thing in the hands of the Great Cishu King, I feel that the aura of that golden prop is constantly increasing." Alhaitham spoke.

"That's a prop to collect people's beliefs." Nahida opened her mouth and explained, "The Great Tree King is doing this to quickly gather the power of faith from the people of Sumeru. ”

"Why does the Great Mercy Tree King collect faith?" Nilou wondered.

Nahida replied, "Because the people's faith is a shortcut to the power of the gods. ”

"Alhaithham, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly put on the Void Terminal? Tighnari suddenly saw Alhaitham next to him put on the Void Terminal, and he was still touching his chin and thinking, and his face gradually showed fanatical emotions.

"I see, I see, I know why the people of Sumeru are so fanatical." Alhaitham said suddenly.

Cyno: "??? ”

"The Great Mercy Tree King is transmitting wisdom to the people through the void, this is an unprecedented knowledge, even if I see it, I think it is incredible, and getting this knowledge can speed up the development of Sumeru I don't know how many times." Alhaitham continued: "Hurry up and put on the Void Terminal, the knowledge at this time is unreserved, and you will get all the knowledge you want. ”

Tighnari: "??? ”

Although several people were still puzzled, Alhaitham said so, and they also put on the void again, and with the void link, a huge amount of knowledge entered their minds, and a door to a new world opened in their minds.

"This is really valuable knowledge, touching on various fields, as well as some hidden botanical knowledge." Tighnari touched the Void Terminal and nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, this could be the real Awareness Day." Alhaitham spoke, "The God of Wisdom will redistribute wisdom to the people on this day, but because of the previous Great Sage, the Day of Knowledge has become a festival that only gives knowledge to the Void. ”

"But I have a doubt, this knowledge is too extensive, what is the reason for the Great Mercy Tree King to do this? And she is still collecting people's beliefs. Cyno wondered.

"According to Liuyun, faith is a shortcut for the gods to increase their strength, and the Great Mercy Tree King must have used it to strengthen herself by collecting faith so quickly, in other words, she has encountered troubles that her current strength cannot solve." Alhaitham analyzed: "Although the Great Mercy Tree King is very well disguised, it can be seen that she is in a hurry at the moment when she frequently looks at the state of the golden props in her hand. ”

"Alhaithham, is there any basis for what you say?" Tighnari said with a frown.

"No, I guessed." Alhaitham replied with a flat face, "It is also possible that the Great Mercy Tree King wants to regain his strength. After all, at this time, she did not directly use the power of faith on herself. ”

Tighnari: "."

Cyno: "."

Suddenly, a red figure appeared above the Akademiya, and she smiled at the Great Cishu King below and said, "Oh, what do you want to do so quickly collect the power of faith?" ”

"It's you, you're recovering so fast." The Great Mercy Tree King stopped his act of transmitting knowledge, and looked up at the figure in the sky in surprise.

"What is that, how does it look so similar to the King of the Great Mercy Tree?" After the Great Mercy Tree King stopped transmitting knowledge, the Cyno and the others also saw a red figure in the sky.

This red figure is naturally a tassel that has been driven back from another world.

"Is the power of faith in your hands for me?" The tassel said to the king of the great cishu below: "Then I will accept it unceremoniously." ”

"You're dreaming." The Great Mercy Tree King said with a serious face.

"Since you don't want to hand it over, then I can only take it myself, as long as I kill you, everything you have is mine." After saying that, Tassel attacked towards the Great Mercy Tree King.

Seeing the tassel moving directly, the Great Cishu King hurriedly resisted, but how could she be the opponent of the tassel, and she retreated under the tassel's attack in a few clicks.

"Traveler, give this to Nahida." The Great Mercy Tree King threw the things in his hand to Ying and said.

Ying: "??? ”

No, you're already starting, I'm not ready yet!

But although Ying was complaining in her heart, she didn't understand what the tassel was going to do, but her movements were not slow, and she quickly escaped with the things in her hand.

"Hmph, dying throes." The tassel also subdued the Great Mercy Tree King at this moment.

"Alhaithham, Cyno, Tighnari, run!" Ying hurriedly said as she passed by them.

Cyno: "??? ”

Tighnari: "??? ”

"Want to run? It's not that easy. Tassel spoke, and with that, she controlled all the Sumeru people, including Alhaitham and the Void Terminal.

"What's going on?" Before their consciousness was controlled, several people saw the Great Compassion Tree King who had turned into nothingness in the hands of the tassels.

Seeing that it was almost there, Nahida also made efforts to take all the people around her away.

"Yes, it's a lot smarter now." Tassel looked at the direction of Nahida's departure and nodded with satisfaction, "But having controlled so many people, I don't know when they will be able to resurrect the Flower God and the Red King, why don't you take this opportunity to use the techniques I learned from the New World?" ”

As soon as she said it, Tassel transferred the use of knowledge gained from those worlds to the minds of every Sumeru scholar, and then asked them to make what she brought according to the blueprint and the way.

These techniques are the result of Tassel's efforts to use the Golden Tree to waste a lot of effort in many world cosmic sociology +8, that is, to encounter a group of consciousness bodies in a universe, if it were not for their own consciousness is a hundred million points more powerful than them, they may not be able to discover their existence.

Tassel knows very well that his own development of so-called technology will never be as fast as directly plundering the existing achievements, and he may develop to the second level of civilization if he is tired and tired, but if he plunders, he can directly plunder a higher civilization, and then copy the technology that they have learned completely.

After a friendly exchange with them, Tassel gained a lot of things he wanted, such as the most basic use of space, time, and parallel worlds.

Consciousness: Are you polite? If we hadn't beaten you, you wouldn't have what you wanted!

After Nahida led the crowd to the desert.

Ying turned to Nahida and asked, "Nahida, what are the tassels doing?" ”

"I don't know, the idea of tassels is not something I can figure out." Nahida shook her head and said, "We can only do what she wants." ”

"One thing is certain, though, that most of Tassel's series of moves revolve around reviving the Red King and the Flower God."

"Well, well, but why does it feel so familiar to tassels?" Paimon scratched his head.

Ying also said helplessly, "Well, maybe we have experienced something similar in Liyue before. ”

"Are you saying that we are inviting the immortals to the ceremony, and a big dragon fell down in a snap?" Paimon thought for a moment before speaking.

Ying nodded and said, "Well, this is a strange case of murdering a god after all, but Tassel did a better job, and she solved herself in full view." ”

Paimon: "."

"They're about to wake up, and there are some things that don't be mentioned now." Nahida interrupted suddenly.

Paimon nodded, "Oh, okay. ”

"By the way, how about the Red King Faith you collected earlier?" Nahida asked Ying.

"Almost, according to the requirements, the power of faith in the props is almost filled." Ying took out the small golden object that Nahida had given her earlier and handed it to Nahida.

Nahida breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, or you'll be in trouble." ”

"Where are we?" Tighnari was the first to wake up, and he looked at his surroundings a little dazedly.

Paimon replied, "We're in the desert now, and it was the Rouge who led us out." ”

"Desert?" Tighnari found a corner, leaned against it, and said with some discomfort.

"Tighnari, are you alright? Look at your state a little bad. Paimon asked, a little worried.

Tighnari replied, "It's all right, just take a rest, I can't get used to the desert climate." ”

After a while, Cyno, Alhaitham, Nilou, Dehya, and Dinazeda all woke up one after another.

"Are we in the desert?" Cyno looked around for a moment.

Nahida replied, "Yes, after all, the forest is not safe now, so you should quickly take off the Void Terminal." ”

Listening to Nahida's words, everyone removed the Void Terminal from their ears, and Alhaitham asked Nahida, "What happened just now, I saw that the Great Tree King was given by a red figure with the same red figure as the Great Tree King."

"yes, I saw it too. Why is this happening, how could she be the King of the Great Mercy Tree. Nilou said with some sadness.

"Because that red figure is the real Great Mercy Tree King, and what you saw before was her consciousness." Nahida explains, "The reason she just did that was to re-admit her consciousness. ”

Nilou was surprised, "Huh? No way? But why did she do it? ”

"Because the Great Mercy Tree King has been infected by the forbidden knowledge, and the Great Mercy Tree King's consciousness woke up before her, and she wanted to do something, but the time was too short, and before she could do it, the real Great Mercy Tree King woke up."

"How do you know so much? And the red figure you said is the real King of the Great Mercy Tree, is there any basis? Alhaitham began.

"Cyno, we've met before." Instead of answering Alhaithham's words, Nahida turned to Cyno.

Hearing Nahida speak to him in the voice she had at the time, the small figure in Cyno's mind gradually overlapped with the girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are, Lord Grass God?!" ”

"Cyno, what's going on? Isn't she an immortal from Liyue? And it's still the Rock Elemental Vision. Tighnari asked with some confusion as he heard Cyno's exclamation.

"Didn't there be a terrorist attack in the Akademiya before, and the final result was no more?" Cyno explained, "Because everyone who knew at the time, except for me, including the Great Sage and the Thirty Members, was erased by Lord Grass God. ”

"Ahem, there is no need to mention this matter of Cyno." Nahida reminded with some embarrassment.

"It turns out that you are the little auspicious grass king!" Nilou shouted in surprise.

Listening to Nilou's words, Nahida said with some confusion, "Nilou, I'm very small. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Nilou hurriedly explained, "I mean, you're the little grass god, no, no, it doesn't seem right. ”

"Lady Grass God, thank you for the help you gave me when I was a child." Dinazada thanked Nahida.

Nahida shook her head and said, "You're welcome to Dinazedei, because at that time, I could only do so much, and I was not as omniscient and omnipotent as the Great Mercy Tree King. ”

"But you saved us this time." Dinazeda replied.

Cyno thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Grass God, what should we do about restricting the Great Mercy Tree King?" ”

"It is definitely unwise to go head-to-head with the Great Cishu King, because her strength is far above ours and she is a true god, so she can only outwit and eliminate the part of the Great Cishu King that is polluted by forbidden knowledge." Nahida pretended to think for a moment and spoke.

"Removing the contaminated part of the Great Mercy Tree King sounds like a simple matter at first glance, but with the disparity in strength between our two sides, it is almost impossible to accomplish it, according to what you said before, now we will be detected by the Great Mercy Tree King when we enter the forest." Alhaitham listened to Nahida's words, touched his chin and analyzed, "The part that helps her eliminate the infection of forbidden knowledge is even more difficult to start. ”

"And the last moment I saw the Great Cishu King before, I felt that my thoughts at that time were controlled by her, and I think all the people of Sumeru at this time were controlled by the Great Cishu King with the Void Terminal."

After listening to Alhaithham's analysis, Tighnari also nodded, "Yes, the matter of the Great Mercy Tree King is much more difficult than the previous act of overthrowing the Great Sage, because this time we are facing a true all-knowing and all-powerful god. ”

"Aren't we helpless now?" Nilou asked a little unwillingly.

"There's another way, and that's to seek the help of other gods." Nahida spoke.

Nilou spoke, "But we don't know any other gods. ”

"It's difficult to ask for help from the other gods, after all, the gods of the Seven Kingdoms are in charge of their own affairs, and as far as I know, except for Liyue and Mondstadt, none of the other gods are the same original gods as the Great Mercy Tree King, and they don't have any friendship with the Great Mercy Tree King." Alhaitham spoke, "Barbatos, the god of wind, has not been seen for many years, even the people of Mondstadt have not seen him for thousands of years, and the gods of Liyue are said to have all passed away in the last accident. ”

"Alhaitham is right, it is almost impossible to seek the help of other gods." Cyno nodded.

"No, I mean we can revive the Red King and the Flower God and get their help." Nahida spoke, "This is also the backhand that the Great Mercy Tree King prepared before his consciousness. ”

"Lord Grass God, do you mean that the power of faith collected by the Great Mercy Tree King was used here?" Cyno asked.

"Well, the Demon God will not die out completely, as long as someone remembers him, he can be resurrected, and the power of faith can be manifested in this place." Nahida explained, "The Great Cishu King has accumulated the power of faith of the people of Sumeru and sealed it in this item, but it is not enough to revive a demon god. ”

"In this way, I also have something similar to this, it seems that I have absorbed a lot of power that I can't understand before, I don't know if this is the power of faith, and whether it can be used to revive the Red King." Ying also took the opportunity to take out the prop with the breath of the Red King and said to Nahida.

Unlike a branch in Nahida's hand, the thing in Ying's hand was a tetrahedral golden mechanism.

"Well, that's right, this is also a prop to collect the power of faith, and unlike what the Great Cishu King left behind, it can only collect the people's power of faith in the Red King." Nahida probed the prop in Ying's hand and nodded.

"This is, a token of the Red King?" Cyno was surprised, "Didn't you expect it to be able to collect the power of faith?" ”

"In this case, the power of faith is enough, but there is a more important problem." Nahida said suddenly, "We need to find the remains of the Red King, otherwise the power of faith will be useless." ”

"Where are the remains of the Red King?" Paimon accosted, "Is it in the Tomb of the Red King?" ”

"No, according to ancient records, the Red King was finally swallowed by the grass dragon Apepe, and we can only go to see the grass dragon Apep if we want to find the remains of the Red King." Nahida explained.

"Grass Dragon Apepe?" Alhaitham touched his chin and said, "I saw some descriptions in an ancient book before, the grass dragon Apep is one of the ancient dragons that has existed since Teyvat's birth, the sandworm was its Yanchen, and the flying snake was its friend.

But all recent records of Apep have been lost, and only ancient texts left in the desert record its appearance. When he reappeared, Apep seemed to be seriously ill and fell into madness......"

"Is this grass dragon so terrifying? What is the difference between this and facing the Great Mercy Tree King directly! Paimon couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, according to Alhaithham's description, the current grass dragon is also seriously ill and has fallen into madness, isn't this the same as the current Great Mercy Tree King?" Nilou said with a frown.

"No, there is a difference, that is, the grass dragon is in a state of pain now, far inferior to the current Great Cishu King, just like the same pool of water, people will not be able to use their hands and feet to be bound by the water after entering the water, because they are not suitable for survival in the water, and fish will be full of vitality when they enter the water." Nahida explains:

"It's the same with this so-called serious illness, it makes Apep suffer and greatly reduces his strength, but it can multiply the divine power of the Great Mercy Tree King."
