The divine power on Nahida's body spread, wrapping Li Qiuzhi and the others together, and the next moment they disappeared in place.

After a change of space.

When they reappeared, several people appeared in a space where the sky was blood-colored, standing on a huge tree root.

In the very center of the space is a silver-white giant tree, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if it is the most holy thing in the world.

I can faintly hear who is muttering: the world. Forget me.

"Is this the World Tree? Doesn't it feel like it's polluted? ”

Paimon looked curiously at the giant tree in front of him.

"The contamination of forbidden knowledge does not come to the surface, but in more imperceptible places, let's go over and check it out."

Nahida tilted her head slightly, and said as her single ponytail shook a little.

"Well, I don't feel anything strange here yet."

At this time, Ying's hair had turned a pale white blonde, and she entered the state of "Abyss Princess".

But he didn't feel the power of the "Dead Realm" or the "power of the Demon Scale Disease".

Maybe you have to get close to the "World Tree" to know through contact.

Li Qiuzhi reconnoitred with his mental power and confirmed that he had not found any danger, so he followed Nahida forward.

The roots of the "World Tree" are a little difficult to walk, and the twists and turns are uneven.

After a while.

Li Qiuzhi walked up a gentle slope, and the huge trunk of the "World Tree" was close in front of them.

However, what is slightly surprising is that there is a small familiar back, standing under the "World Tree".

It seems that they are waiting for them early here.

"Hey, she's—she's."

Paimon's eyes widened as he looked at the small figure under the tree, then wiped his eyes in disbelief.

He continued to look back at Nahida, who was close in front of him.

It can't be wrong, it's exactly the same, is that figure .

Just as Paimon was guessing, the figure under the World Tree turned around and looked at Li Qiuzhi and them.

Sure enough, to Paimon's surprise, that figure was indeed Nahida!

"How can there be two Nahida?"

There was also a slightly surprised look on his white face.

"Feeling. It's familiar." Nahida was equally surprised.

Only Li Qiuzhi understands who the "Nahida" under the World Tree is, she is the incarnation of the "World Tree", the former grass god of Sumeru - the Great Mercy Tree King!

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

"Nahida" under the World Tree walked towards Li Qiuzhi and the others, looked at Nahida and said.

Although her appearance was exactly the same as Nahida's, her voice was completely different, and she was more mature.

"Reincarnation? Are you the King of the Great Tree of Mercy? ”

Although Nahida is a little unclear, she can enter the space where the "World Tree" is located, and besides her, it seems that only the Great Mercy Tree King is the Great Mercy Tree King.

Because of the Seven Mortal Rulers, only the Grass God is responsible for managing and protecting the "World Tree".

"That's right."

The Great Tree King, who looked exactly like Nahida, nodded his chin slightly and said.

"Wait. Nahida is Nahida, and the person who is exactly the same as Nahida is the King of the Great Mercy Tree, whoa, his brain has turned into mush! ”

Paimon, who was flying beside Ying, covered his head with his hands and looked distressed.

"I am the embodiment of the World Tree, she is the purest branch of the World Tree, our essence is the same, so I am Nahida, she is my reincarnation."

The Great Mercy Tree King explained briefly.

"So the essence is the World Tree, but it's actually a little different."

Paimon said, spreading his hands.

One is the embodiment of the "World Tree" as a whole, and the other is the branches on the "World Tree", although the essence is the "World Tree".

But it's probably not the same person.

"When a tree dies, its branches will also take root and sprout again, and continue life in another way, isn't this reincarnation?"

King Dacishu shook his head and said.

"Oh, in the historical records of Sumeru, the Great Mercy Tree King is not already. Uh, did that one pass away? ”

Paimon scratched his head and hesitated.

Ying also focused her eyes on the Great Mercy Tree King, and what Paimon was curious about was also what she liked, could it be that there was another hidden reason for the death of the Great Mercy Tree King?

"The record of history is probably correct, I did die a long time ago, and now I am only the last vestiges of consciousness.

"And the reason why I survived was also for a very important thing."

The King of the Great Mercy Tree had a calm face, and he was not shy about talking about his death.

"Ah, you've already," Nahida looked a little disappointed.

"Is it consciousness again?"

Ying showed an unsurprising look.

First there was Heulia, and then there was Raiden Ma, the existence of the demon god.

Even if you die, you can leave a part of your consciousness to last for hundreds of thousands of years without completely disappearing.

"Looks like you've seen a lot of this happen to me." The Great Mercy Tree King glanced at Ying in surprise.

"Hehe, that's right, we've encountered two remnants of the Demon God Consciousness, and with our help, they're slowly recovering.

"So it doesn't matter if you only have a trace of consciousness left, we can help you recover slowly!"

Paimon patted his chest and said confidently.

"Really?"

Nahida perked up a little when she heard Paimon's words.

King Dacishu naturally gave her a very cordial feeling, just like a relative, and when she saw her, she seemed to have something to rely on.

The whole person is much more relaxed, and the Great Mercy Tree King is a god who is loved by the people of Sumeru.

Nahida didn't want her to leave like that.

If she is here, she will continue to lead Sumeru, and everyone will definitely be able to live a happier and more happy life.

"I'm surprised that you can even save the demon god who has only a part of his consciousness left.

"But I said I survived for a vital thing."

As the former grass god, the Great Mercy Tree King has the same but more powerful powers as Nahida.

Even with a glimmer of consciousness left, it was easy to tell that Paimon wasn't lying, but there was no way for her to enjoy the good fortune.

"What is the most important thing, and why did you die?"

Nahida had a bad premonition and asked in a slightly anxious tone.

"Well, I'll leave the answers you seek." The Great Mercy Tree King looked at the anxious Nahida and smiled slightly, and then said with a look of reminiscence:

"The day of the tribulation was five hundred years ago, when all seven gods except me were summoned to the kingdom called Kanria.

"And I have a more important task, and that is to protect the World Tree."

The Great Mercy Tree King slowly recounted what happened five hundred years ago.

As the embodiment of the World Tree, her consciousness is connected to it, and the séance of the Calamity is accompanied by the contamination of forbidden knowledge.

Therefore, at the same moment when the "World Tree" was eroded, the Great Mercy Tree King quickly sensed the abnormality.

Fortunately, she and the Red King, who was in charge of the desert, had dealt with the contamination of forbidden knowledge thousands of years ago, so she had experience in dealing with the forbidden knowledge of polluting the World Tree.

Forbidden knowledge comes from the bottom of the abyss, not inferior to the knowledge of the Teyvat world, and this knowledge cannot even be understood by the Great Tree King, who is the god of wisdom.

The world of Teyvat is also constantly rejecting it, and as a result, it is suffering from various symptoms such as "Dead Land" and "Demonic Scale Disease".

If forbidden knowledge is allowed to contaminate the World Tree all the time, the continent of Teyvat will fall apart with more and more rejection symptoms.

But the Great Mercy Tree King was alone, and even if he had experience in dealing with the contamination of forbidden knowledge, there was no way to expel them all.

As a result, a device for the integration of human intelligence was created, that is, the "Void" system.

In the end, she used the "Void" system to unify the wisdom of all the people of Sumeru, and her own full strength to clear most of the forbidden knowledge that had eroded the World Tree.

But there is no way to remove the small part that remains.

Because as the embodiment of the "World Tree", the consciousness of the Great Mercy Tree King is connected to the "World Tree", and when the forbidden knowledge pollutes the "World Tree", it also pollutes her.

So if you want to completely clear the forbidden knowledge, you must clear her herself!

She is naturally not afraid of death, and if her death can make the "World Tree" completely recover, the Great Mercy Tree King is happy to sacrifice herself.

But the problem is that forbidden knowledge can exist in memory as a kind of knowledge.

As the embodiment of the World Tree, even if he dies, everything related to the Great Mercy Tree King will be preserved in the "World Tree" as memories and knowledge.

Therefore, there will always be a small part of the forbidden knowledge that cannot be cleared.

If she were alive, she would be able to erase some of the memories and knowledge stored in the World Tree, just like the forbidden knowledge that eroded the "World Tree".

But if she is alive, the forbidden knowledge that pollutes her will still be in her memory, and will not be saved to the "World Tree".

If she dies, the forbidden knowledge will be saved to the World Tree, but she will not be able to clear the forbidden knowledge from the World Tree because she is dead.

So a paradox arises: she can't erase herself.

She had no choice but to break off the purest branches of the "World Tree" as her own reincarnation.

Then she began to wait for the "branches" that were of the same essence as herself, and could also interfere with the "World Tree", slowly grow.

When she arrives here, she will be able to use her power to erase herself along with the forbidden knowledge and completely clean up the contamination of the World Tree.

That's what she said was crucial, and the truth about her own death.

"That's what happened!"

Paimon and Ying were a little surprised by what the Great Mercy Tree King had said, that Nahida had been born to erase the person who created her!

In any case, it is a bit too cruel.

"Wait, it's not right to erase you from the 'World Tree', you can't do that!"

Nahida said anxiously, shaking her head

The "World Tree" contains all the knowledge and memories of this world, and also records all the history of the past and the present.

If a person's record were erased from the World Tree, it would be equivalent to erasing that person's existence from the world.

In the future, no one or any living being will remember the Great Mercy Tree King, as if it had never existed!

How could she accept this!

"Yes, it seems that you know what that means, and I would not want to be forgotten if I could, but this is the only way to save the World Tree."

The Great Tree King stepped forward and hugged Nahida, patting her on the back and comforting her.

"No, no, it's not the only way!" Nahida's tears were about to overflow, and she shook her head violently.

Then he broke away from the embrace of the Great Cishu King, turned around and ran in front of Li Qiuzhi, grabbed the hem of his clothes with his little hands and looked up at him.

And hurriedly said:

"You said that there is a way to clean up the pollution of forbidden knowledge, right, please help me, people obviously love and miss her so much, and I also yearn to be a great god like the Great Tree King.

"How can she be forgotten just like that"

Looking at the tears overflowing from Nahida's little face, Li Qiuzhi secretly sighed that it was still developing like in the original book.

If he hadn't come here, the Great Mercy Tree King, who had given so much, would still have been forgotten by the Teyvat world.

It's like the phrase I heard when I came in, "The world, forget me." "Same.

Li Qiuzhi raised his hand and touched Nahida's head, smiled and comforted:

"It would be a pity if such a great god as the Great Mercy Tree King was forgotten, don't worry, we will do our best to help you!"

"Nahida, don't worry, we are professional when it comes to helping others solve their problems!"

Paimon clenched his small fists and said with a serious expression, and Ying also nodded slightly, indicating that it was right.

"Forbidden knowledge has become one with me, a part of my knowledge and memory, and there is no other way than to erase me together!"

Having dealt with forbidden knowledge for so long, no one would know it better than her, and after hundreds of years, the only hope for the Great Tree King was Nahida.

She is the same essence as herself, she is her own reincarnation, and as long as she uses her power, she can easily erase herself from the "World Tree".

Then lead Sumeru to a new destiny, and she will eventually become a god greater than herself, I believe so

"So erase me and let the world. Completely forget about yourself, so that you can truly save the 'World Tree', save Sumeru, and save Teyvat! ”

The Great Tree King said as he held out his hand to Nahida.

"No, it shouldn't be like this," Nahida shook her head.

Li Qiuzhi took two steps forward to block Nahida behind, and said to the Great Mercy Tree King:

"You've been waiting for Nahida for five hundred years, and since it's not that much time, how about we try?"

The pure power of the abyss controlled by Ying's "Abyss Princess" form can interfere with or even transform the power that simulates the "Dead Domain" and "Demon Scale Disease", which has been confirmed by experiments.

But for the contamination of taboo knowledge.

After all, he hadn't tried it yet, so even if he had that kind of confidence, he didn't talk too much.
