After listening to Nahida's narration, the Great Cishu King just nodded and did not say anything.

"Tassel, I'll go to the Akademiya tomorrow to see if it's okay." Nahida looked at the silent Great Tree King and whispered,

"I'm not going to run away this time."

"If what you said before is correct, then I think my identity has been revealed." The Great Mercy Tree King sighed and said,

"The Red King and the Flower God know that I still exist in this world."

"Huh?" Nahida blinked in surprise, she didn't say anything.

"You avoided being reluctant to enter the Akademiya and went straight to Nilou and Alhaithham." King Dacishu explained,

"They deduced from your actions that I was still alive, and then they may have been informed of it by the eyes of the god of flowers."

Nahida listened to the explanation of the Great Mercy Tree King and understood what was going on, so she muttered with a tangled little face, "How come."

"Tassel, I didn't mean to!"

"It's okay, I don't have to hide my identity or anything now." The Great Mercy Tree King shook his head and said,

"However, you are doing things like a child now, and some things are reckless, so it seems that you have to have a good experience when you enter the simulation world."

Nahida: "."

"What's wrong?" The Great Tree King looked at Nahida's reluctant expression and asked, "If you have any other ideas, you can talk to me." ”

"Can I not go?"

"Huh?" The Great Mercy Tree King looked at her suspiciously.

Nahida came to the side of the Great Cishu King, holding the arms of the Great Cishu King with both hands, and shook it lightly while coquettishly said, "Tassel, just this once, okay~"

"Okay, listen to you." The Great Tree King touched Nahida's little head and replied helplessly.

It seems that it's pretty good to have such a cute cutie who is spoiled by herself? The Great Mercy Tree King thought to himself.

"Hee-hee, I knew that tassels were the best." When Nahida heard that the Great Tree King had agreed to her request, her hands holding the other's arms were even harder.

"Nahida's favorite tassel."

"Go, go, that's all you have to say these things." The King of the Great Mercy Tree nodded Nahida's little head in disgust and said,

"I usually run around to get into trouble."

"Hey, hey." Nahida pulled out a hand and rubbed the part of her that had been spotted, looking at the Great Mercy Tree King with a coquettish smile and smirking.

"If it's okay, go to sleep."

"Tassel, don't you sleep?" Nahida wondered.

"I've got something to do." The Great Mercy Tree King raised the blue consciousness body in his hand that was constantly condensing and repairing it with divine power, "Funnina and Fukalos are not suitable for us here, let them live a good life for a while." ”

"In this case, the previous water goddess Egolia is a good choice, after all, I have known her for a long time."

"That's right." Nahida nodded, "Then I'll go and rest first." ”

"Hmm."

The Great Mercy Tree King answered, and then watched Nahida run into the room with a brisk pace, and did not withdraw his gaze until the other party's figure had completely disappeared.

"Why did you refuse to send her to the simulated world just now?"

"Don't you already know?" Tassel's voice came, "Don't you think it's good, this kind of life won't be boring for at least a long time." ”

"Well, too." The Great Mercy Tree King chimed in, "By the way, when will you come out?" ”

"Me? It won't come out for the time being, there's nothing fun to do during this time, so I'll give myself a vacation by the way. ”

King of the Great Mercy Tree: "."

"And you also took advantage of this time to use your authority skillfully, obviously the rules of memory are shared, why do you use it so well?"

"You have to take care of it!" The King of the Great Mercy Tree shouted a little angrily, "You are reluctant to let that little guy go, but you came to teach me, right, sure enough, you still like the new and hate the old gods." ”

"What and what, tell you not to explore Zhan Lanxing's spicy chicken network, you are a god, don't substitute yourself into women's boxing, okay." Tassel said speechlessly.

"You mean, I'm not a woman?"

"Yes, isn't God genderless?" Tassel replied.

King of the Great Mercy Tree: "."

The Great Cishu King choked on the tassel's words, and then said faintly: "If you think that I am not a woman, and that God is asexual, then you can also switch to a male body, right?" ”

Tassel: "."

"Why is it silent? Didn't you say it was asexual? If you have the ability, you can cut it and see if your origin can be transformed into the past. ”

Tassel: "."

Tassel was silent, because it was true that she couldn't cut it, and the body was originally the most perfect form, and if you forcibly switch genders, there would be a lot of bugs.

Besides, if she could cut it, she would have switched it a long time ago, and she would still use it to talk about the Great Cishu King!

"Goodbye!" The tassel disappeared after saying that.

After talking about the tassel and diving, the Great Cishu King was in a good mood, and her beautiful mood couldn't help but let her hum a light ballad while operating the blue consciousness in her hand.

"This Ergolia is even worse than I used to be." The King of the Great Mercy Tree was amazed while operating,

"This is completely worn down by time, and only the instinct to fight against the abyss infection is gone, and everything is gone."

"So even if it is born, it will be just another individual, not her Egolia." The Great Mercy Tree King stopped what he was doing, touched his chin and thought,

"What to do? The tassel will definitely be unreliable for a while. ”

"There it is!" The Great Mercy Tree King suddenly thought of something, "I can go back in time now, and when the time comes, I can replace the dead Egreia from time and space, as long as I don't change history." ”

Just do it, the figure of the Great Ci Tree King flashed, and he came to the location of the sea of nectar flowers.

She slowly stretched out her hand, her mind constantly simulating the tassel's action using the law of time, and golden divine power slowly seeped out from her palm.

Whoa~~

As the Great Cishu King urged the law of time, the originally quiet sea of nectar flowers suddenly sounded the sound of the river rushing.

"This is the [River of Time] derived from the power of time?" Looking at the golden river that was flowing more and more clearly in front of him, the Great Cishu King couldn't help but sigh lightly,

"I really don't know how she has a brain, should I say that she came from outside the world?"

"Tassels have said that the direction of the river is the future, and anyway it is the past." The Great Cishu Wang Lian moved lightly, stepping on the long river of time,

"Some gods in this world may be able to see the long river of time, but they can only follow the direction of the long river and cannot go upstream."

As he spoke, the Great Mercy Tree King walked towards the upper reaches of the Long River of Time, and the rushing river automatically reversed direction and continued to flow downstream the moment it touched the Great Mercy Tree King's body.

"Tassel said before that every step in the long river of time is a hundred years."

After the Great Mercy Tree King finished speaking, she also stopped, because she had taken exactly five steps at this time.

"It should be this time."

After speaking, she walked in the direction of the riverbank, there is no riverbank in the long river of time, she can only move above and in the river, and after going ashore, she will come to a certain point in time, or she will never return to the shore after entering the long river of time, and she will rise and fall in the long river of time without beginning or end.

"Is it there?" After the Great Mercy Tree King walked out of the long river of time, his figure returned to the position before the sea of nectar flowers entered the long river of time.

At this time, the sea of nectar flowers is just a desert, without any appearance of a sea of flowers.

Under the quiet waiting of the Great Cishu King, the originally empty desert ushered in a person.

They are themselves at this time, and Egreia who died.

At this time, he planted a mother tree of 10,000 species in this area to house Egolia's divine consciousness that could not enter the leylines due to the contamination of forbidden knowledge.

As the self from five hundred years ago slowly stretched out his hand, the divine consciousness belonging to Egria was thrown into the air, and the grass elemental power spread from the opponent's feet to all directions.

Lush meadows grew from the original desert where they passed, and then a seed glowing green fell to the ground, and a giant tree rose from the ground in an instant, and Agoria's divine consciousness was also attracted to the giant tree, merging into the giant tree.

The Great Tree King used his divine power to replace the original Egreia Divine Consciousness and stuffed the clean consciousness he had prepared earlier into it.

"That's it, right?" The Great Mercy Tree King looked at the divine consciousness that contained memories, emotions, and filth in his hands, and said softly.

"No, I seem to be contaminated by forbidden knowledge at this moment, and if my guess is correct, I may not live long."

The Great Cishu King looked at himself who was sitting cross-legged on the ground to cultivate after completing all this, and a black aura spread on the other party's body, and the other party also frowned painfully under the erosion of forbidden knowledge.

The fusion of the Ten Thousand Mother Trees with the pure water, supplemented by the flower spirit left by the flower god, gave birth to an aura that can fight against the abyss and forbidden knowledge.

And five hundred years ago, because of the warmth of the aura, his face gradually looked a lot better, but the generation of auralight is limited.

At that time, I knew that even if I used up all the aura, I couldn't completely repair my soul that was eroded by forbidden knowledge, so it was better to use these limited auras to repair this continent that was [broken] due to the erosion of the abyss and forbidden knowledge.

Under the gaze of the Great Cishu King, five hundred years ago, she only rested for a while before leaving, and the Dacishu King saw this and quietly followed behind.

On the way, the Great Cishu King saw a lot of dark monsters ravaging the Teyvat Continent, but she didn't deal with it, because she was a little afraid that her actions would affect the known future, and such unknown interference was very unwise for her.

After the death of the god of flowers, the Red King also entered the [Golden Dreamland] and the pleasures of the flower god in his memory, and he didn't care about the outside world, and the originally prosperous country was also eaten away by the dark monsters under the actions of the Red King.

So at this time, only the Great Mercy Tree King was still working hard for Sumeru, and the Desert King, who was supposed to stand up and resist everything, was choosing to be greedy for pleasure at this time, which is why she hated the Red King.

As time passed, the Great Cishu King had been following behind him five hundred years ago, watching the other party's aura weaken with the passage of time, and finally, she couldn't resist it.

Before she died, she made the final preparations, breaking off the purest branch from the World Tree to transition her authority, and the fire prepared for the grass dragon Apep.

Eventually, she used her divine heart to create a void terminal that could eliminate forbidden knowledge with the power of dreams, and then walked to the pure branch under the World Tree that she had broken off, and looked at it with a gentle look.

It's like you're facing your own child.

"My body can't hold it anymore, and you will be the new god of wisdom in the future, please return"

Her own aura became weaker and weaker, until finally she couldn't even speak, her body slowly fell forward, and her vitality continued to fade.

At the moment when he was about to die five hundred years ago, suddenly a spatial crack opened in the position of the World Tree, and a golden light merged into his body.

It was only a moment, after his body merged into the golden light, he did not react at all, and his body finally dissipated, leaving only a golden consciousness.

"That golden light, is it a tassel?" The Great Mercy Tree King looked at the golden consciousness like a flame rising not far in front of him with a complicated face,

"It turned out that I didn't die at the beginning, but I was tormented by forbidden knowledge at that time, and the fusion of her consciousness made me forget what happened at that time."

"I'm still me, not the same as the residual memories of the parallel world, no wonder I can assimilate the memories of the other party."

"Hey, I really didn't expect it to be like this." King Dacishu sighed with emotion.

"That's good, isn't it?" Tassel suddenly said in a loud voice, "At least it proves that you are still you, and you are not a substitute for the Great Mercy Tree King." ”

"yes, actually, I'm not dead." The Great Tree King replied softly, "All this is just what I thought. ”

"It's done, it's time to go back." Tassel continued, "If you stay too long, it will have an impact on the future. ”

"What? Could it be that interfering now will make a difference in the future? ”

"We won't, I've already closed my timeline." Tassel shook his head and said, "The self you saw in the past and the golden consciousness in front of you are illusory projections, they can only prove that we have been here, and they cannot affect our future, because any point in time we are in is our future." ”

"I see." Listening to Tassel's words, King Dacishu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, "Thank you, Tassel." ”

"Haha, you're welcome." Tassel smiled and replied, "We don't need to say thank you, if you really want to say thank you, stay outside longer." ”

"Hmm."

This time, the Great Cishu King did not refute, but responded with a smile on his face.

"I'm quite happy to say it, although I was thrown into this world inexplicably."

The sound of tassels sounded in my head,

"But my wish has been granted, or rather, from the moment I came into this world."

"Of course, I won't have any new wishes."

King of the Great Mercy Tree: "."

"Let's go back." Tassel felt the mood transmitted from the Great Mercy Tree King and chuckled,

"The days to come are still long, no, they are so long that they can be described as having no beginning and no end."

A day later, Liyue Harbor

"Tassel, has Egria's consciousness been repaired?"

Nahida, who had gotten up early in the morning, yawned and walked over to the Great Mercy Tree King, who was still sitting on the stone leaning in the courtyard, and asked.

"It's fixed, but there's still a few things to prepare." The Great Tree of Mercy replied,

"Woke up so early and didn't sleep any longer?"

"No, the more you sleep, the sleepier you get." Nahida rubbed her sleepy eyes and said,

"It's okay not to sleep, but when I sleep, I feel endless, and I want to sleep like this forever."

"Yes, I want to go to sleep." The Great Mercy Tree King nodded.

Nahida blinked and replied, "Then go sleep, I happen to be sleepy too." ”

"If you want to sleep by yourself, I said that I still have something to do." The Great Mercy Tree King knocked on Nahida's little head and said,

"I'll negotiate between the Red King and the God of Flowers, it's not good to deceive others."

Nahida nodded and said, "That's right, you also said that you asked them to help manage Sumeru, but as a result, after they saw you acting in that play, they lived a mess all day long, like a salted fish without dreams." ”

"So, you still have to take care of this aspect of Sumeru, if you really don't want to take care of it, you have to make a good plan yourself."

"Don't I think about it anymore," Nahida said mischievously, sticking out her tongue,

"It seems that now only Inazuma and the gods are in charge of things in the Five Kingdoms, although not Kage himself."

"It's only a matter of time before the age of the gods passes, and you have to teach your people to be independent in the meantime."

"I know, I know, I can't learn."

"By the way, what about the tassels, the Balladeers?"

"What do you ask him for?" The Great Mercy Tree King wondered.

"I'm watching the movie and Yae Miko have a little itchy hands during this time, I guess I want to play with him."

Nahida replied, "I haven't seen him since he was thrown into the abyss by another Ying. ”

"Well, I'll look for it." The Great Mercy Tree King nodded.

Nahida said excitedly, "Uh-huh, thank you tassels!" ”

"But this will have to wait for a while, after all, I have other things to do, and the skirmishers will be put aside for now."

The Great Tree of Mercy said,

"In the meantime, if you're really fine, go and play in the winter."

"Solstice?" Nahida listened to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King, blinked and looked at her suspiciously,

"Can I go to Solstice now?"

"Yes, you can go wherever you want." The Great Tree of Mercy replied,

"Even if you get into trouble, I can help you out."

"Okay, then I'll settle the affairs of the Akademiya and take Klee to play in the winter!" Nahida shouted excitedly,

"I've heard that the lake freezes in winter, and frying fish on the ice is definitely more interesting than frying fish on the surface of a normal lake."
