Chapter 216: Great Compassionate Tree King!

Wang Hao did not disturb Nashida as she lost herself in her memories.

Just standing there quietly, picking and choosing from the stalls in front of me from time to time,

The toys are nice, I can take some back for my younger brothers and sisters.

After a while,

Nashida came back to her senses and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."

Wang Hao didn't care. Instead, he said comfortingly: "Good memories always make people cherish them. This is normal."

"Thank you." Nashida thanked him politely, and then invited Wang Hao, "Can you walk with me?"

"Of course, it's a great honor."

Of course Wang Hao would not refuse to accompany the little auspicious grass king for a walk.

The only flaw is probably that the other person looks like Setare, not Nashida.

Otherwise the barrage would be even more...happy.

The two began to walk through the aisles of the stalls.
There are more and more people around, it is bustling and lively.

"I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time."

Nashida said as they walked.

"Since Azar came to power, he has been very disgusted with entertainment, art and other activities. Under his orders, all kinds of festivals in Xumi have fallen silent."

"Flower Goddess Birthday Festival, Academy Celebration..."

"Many festivals where everyone used to have fun together are gone."

Nashida's tone was a little depressed.

Obviously, these festivals are also her favorites.

Although he was imprisoned in Jingshan Palace,
But every time these festivals come, Nashida is able to witness and share the joy of the festival through the eyes of others.

But Hazard cut off even this little bit of happiness.

"Now that you have reappeared, these festivals can be resumed. I think many people are looking forward to it."

Wang Hao said.

"Well, so I came to see the activities you promoted. If everyone likes it, I will gradually restore the Xumi Festival."

Narcida nodded slightly.

Wang Hao stopped and said, "Of course everyone likes it. Look around, everyone is laughing so happily."

Nashida also stopped and looked around.

There are people coming and going around.
The merchants' enthusiastic shouts echoed among the crowd, and the sounds of hawking and laughter intertwined, making the entire market extremely lively.

Everyone had a simple smile on their face. They were either chatting with friends or choosing their favorite products with their families.

Although we came to see the performance, the lively scene of the market

This undoubtedly shows how much Xumi needs a carnival to end the indifferent rule of the former Church.

Everything around us is telling us about the life that this land needs most.

"Yes, the current scene has explained everything."

Nashida slowly withdrew her gaze, with a gentle look in her eyes.

"Everyone doesn't really want much. As long as we are happy, we are satisfied."

"But the more I think about it, the more I feel that I owe them."

Nashida's tone dropped slightly.

She gave up power for five hundred years. Not to mention the first few hundred years, but in the decades that Azar came to power, the Xumi people were undoubtedly oppressed.

Azar's aversion to art and entertainment will directly affect the lives of the lower classes.

Just think about it, in a very competitive social environment (the college entrance examination is very competitive), and also in a society where art and entertainment are suppressed, how stressful would life be?

Work pressure, family pressure...

There is pressure everywhere in society.

There is no room for slacking off under these pressures.

It will drive people crazy.

But in Nashida's view, this was all caused by her giving up power.

In general, she attributed the mistakes of Hazard and others to herself.

Previously in Fontaine, when Xingqiu was attacked by Pantalone's men, he also blamed himself for the mistake.

At that time, Wang Hao comforted him and told him not to put the responsibility on himself.

But this time, facing Nashida who blamed herself for the mistake.

Wang Hao did not comfort her any more.

Because Nashida is a god, the god of Sumeru, she should be responsible.

"Instead of blaming yourself here, why not think about how to compensate them."

Wang Hao said.

Nashida raised her eyes and said, "Well, you are right. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to do something practical to compensate everyone."

"Let's go. There are many things here that I haven't seen with my own eyes."

Nashida continued to move, moving among the stalls.

Wang Hao naturally followed suit.

Nashida seemed curious about everything.

She was curious about every new sight, from exquisite handicrafts to mouth-watering snacks.

No matter what stall it is, she will look at it with great interest for a while.

"what is this?"

Nashida asked, pointing at the snacks on a stall.

Wang Hao took a look and said, "It should be Tanghulu, a traditional food of Liyue. However, this one should be localized in Xumi, and the fruit used is Dun Dun peach."

On the side, the stall owner gave a thumbs up and said, "Hey, customer, you have good eyesight. We are from Liyue and we are cooking Liyue food in Xumi."

Wang Hao nodded to the boss, then looked at Nashida: "Would you like to try it?"

Nashida's eyes lit up, and then she showed a hint of shyness: "I don't have Mora."

She actually did, but it was Setare's.

Nashida herself... has no Mora.

After all, the entire Xumi belongs to her, and she really doesn't need to bring Mora with her.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "It's my treat, Boss. How much Mora?"

"Hey, you two are here to watch the show, right? Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has already ordered that the first 100 copies today will be free."

The boss waved his hand and didn't ask for money. He directly took out two strings of candied peaches and handed them to Wang Hao and Nashida.

Xingqiu mentioned before that there would be free snacks today.

Everyone knows that the so-called free is actually for advertising.

If you have confidence in your product, you won’t lose money by offering it for free.

So, Wang Hao did not refuse his boss's kindness.

He took the candied peaches and handed one to Nashida.

The cut Dun Dun peach flesh is covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating.

Nashida took a light bite, first feeling the crisp sweetness of the hard candy, then the sour and sweet taste of the Dun Dun peach. The two intertwined together, which was both stimulating and satisfying.

Savor this beauty carefully.
Nashida's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and a smile of happiness and satisfaction spread across her face. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world was filled with this simple joy.

Wang Hao also took a light bite and couldn't help recalling his childhood.

While in the orphanage,

Tanghulu is also a very luxurious snack.

But the director will still prepare some for everyone.
After everyone does something great, the director will give everyone a reward.

Of course, usually only one will be awarded.

Therefore, Wang Hao has a particularly deep impression of the taste of candied haws.

As I grew older, these memories gradually faded away.

But today, when I took a bite of the Xumi version of candied haws, the memory came back.

“In Liyue, Tanghulu is not only a delicious snack, but also carries childhood memories and is a mark of happy times.”

As he spoke, there was some warmth in Wang Hao's eyes.

"After growing up, candied haws are no longer a big deal to me, but the memory of them has become more precious."

"You must have had a wonderful past," Nashida said softly.

Wang Hao smiled and didn't respond.

Was his past good?
Putting aside the days after my parents disappeared,

He was taken back to the orphanage by the director. Although life was hard, it was indeed quite happy.

The director’s grandmother’s teachings left a soft touch in little Wang Hao’s heart.

It was also the seeds she planted that kept Wang Hao's three views from going astray.

Come to think of it, what Nashida said was right, he had a wonderful past.

“Beauty and suffering are both part of life. There is no eternal beauty, nor eternal suffering.”

“The beauty I felt in my childhood will heal my heart for the rest of my life.”

"And the suffering I have endured will make me stronger."

Smiling slightly, Wang Hao bit off the last piece of peach candied haws.
"My past experiences have shaped who I am today, and my past cognition has also strengthened my beliefs."

"Your Majesty, I am rarely confused."

As he spoke, Wang Hao looked into Nashida's eyes.

These are Setale's eyes, which should be the eyes of an adult woman.

But now, her eyes are full of innocence and purity.

"Your Majesty, are you still confused?"

Nashida also looked at Wang Hao.

"I have been lost for five hundred years."

"My confusion has caused too much misfortune."

"Although I still don't fully understand how to be an excellent god, I am no longer so confused."

Nashida smiled as she spoke.

"Wang Hao, I compare Him to the sun, and I can only be the moon. I never think that I can do better than Him, but... the moon can also give people light."

Wang Hao listened quietly.

The noisy sounds around them could not affect their conversation.

He knew very well that the sun that Nashida was talking about was the Great Kindness Tree King.

"Whether it's the sun or the moon, all people need is a little light."

Wang Hao looked around.

"As long as there is a glimmer of light, a glimmer of hope, your people will follow you."

This is to advise Nashida not to always compare herself with the Great Compassion Tree King.
There is absolutely no comparison.

It is because of the Great Compassion Tree King that we have the present Mount Sumeru.

Unless Nashida has accomplished something tremendous, she will definitely not be as good as the Great Compassionate Tree King.

This kind of comparison will only cause internal friction.

Nashida understood the implication of Wang Hao's words.

She smiled and nodded: "You are right. The most important thing is to let everyone see light and hope."

What kind of light and hope do the people of Xumi need?
It was Nashida who stood up and told them that the God of Grass still favored and protected them.

As for whether the God of Grass is the Great Kindness Tree King or the Small Auspicious Grass King, it does not matter.

"Hi, Wang Hao!"

As he was speaking, two figures jumped out from the crowd.

It's Ying and Paimon,
The two of them were holding a bunch of snacks in their hands.

It can be seen that they were having a lot of fun shopping.

"You have friends coming." Nashida also looked at Ying and Paimon.

“They are very nice people too.”

Wang Hao said something, then nodded to Paimeng.
"Have you finished shopping?"

Flying to Wang Hao's side, he took a curious look at 'Setale' and shook his head quickly: "Not yet, I can't hold it in my hands. Let's eat first and then go shopping."

Ying also said: "Paimon has already eaten more than half, and there is still so much. The people here are really welcoming."

Compared to my days in Inazuma, this place is simply heaven.

Then, she looked at Setare again: "Who is this?"

As a friend of Wang Hao, when she saw that there were unfamiliar people around Wang Hao, she also wanted to get to know them.

Wang Hao glanced at Nashida.

"I am Setare, a scholar of the Order."

Nashida spoke up.

She doesn't know Ying and Paimeng yet, so she naturally won't reveal her identity easily.

Wang Hao nodded and said, "Setale is a desert scholar in the Faith Court, a very good person."

"Oh, hello Setare, I'm Paimon and this is Ying, you can also call her Traveler." Paimon nodded, fulfilling his responsibility as a guide and introducing Setare.

"Ying and Paimon...Okay, I'll take note of that." Nashida nodded slightly.

Although I took note of it, I didn't have the intention to chat with them any more.
Looking at Wang Hao,

"When are you planning on returning to Liyue?"

"Let's wait until Xingqiu is done with his work here. Then we should go back to Liyue and prepare for the Lantern Festival."

Wang Hao thought for a moment and answered, then said to Ying and Paimeng,

"You two, don't forget about the Lantern Festival."

Ying: "Don't worry, we won't forget."

Nashida nodded and said, "When you are about to leave, come to Jingshan Palace."

"Is there something?" Wang Hao looked at her.

"Well, something very important." Nashida confirmed.

Wang Hao responded: "Okay."

He knew that Nashida would not speak nonsense. Since she said there was something important, then it must be true.

"Well, then I'll go back first."

"Aren't you waiting to see the show?"

"No need, I already know what everyone wants. I've seen Nilu's performance many times."

Nashida shook her head, turned and left, still holding the unfinished Dun Dun Peach Candied Haws in her hand.

Seeing 'Setaleh' leaving,

Ying and Paimeng didn't care, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

"Wang Hao, I saw some free snacks up ahead, can you help me get them? I'll go get them."

Paimeng stuffed a bunch of things into Wang Hao's hands, then hurriedly flew to a stall not far away.

Looking at the bags in his hands, Wang Hao shook his head helplessly and followed Paimeng.

Time passed, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

The performance officially begins.
A large number of audiences gathered around the stage.

This performance was not only performed by people from Zubair Theater;

Because Xingqiu wanted to create a grand scene, Xie He helped contact some folk artists from Xumi.

Burlesque, singing, circus, dance, magic…

Opera, folk songs, and comedies,

Wang Hao even saw an artist who was playing with snakes.

Although the development of art was semi-restricted during the reign of the Great Sage Azar.

But at the grassroots level, these artists are still active.

And it is liked by more grassroots people.

Very simple reason,

What the people like belongs to the people.

The higher-ups can belittle them, they can refute them,
But it can't stop people from liking them.

The more I suppress it, the more I like it.

One show after another was performed, and everyone applauded continuously.

The people of Xumi haven't seen so many performances for a long time.

Before, even if you wanted to perform at the Grand Bazaar or Zubair Theater, you had to go through a complicated application process at the Fatwa House.
The scarce entertainment performances are completely unable to meet the needs of the lower class people.

Today, I have seen enough.

Of course, this carnival will not only last today, but will last for three days.

Ying and Paimon have been completely absorbed by the performance.

Paimon was watching the show while unconsciously stuffing snacks into his mouth.

Wang Hao shook his head when he saw this. This child had food all over his clothes.

Looking around, everyone was immersed in the performance.
Wang Hao quietly went backstage.

Backstage,

In addition to some artists changing their costumes here,
Xingqiu and Shi Jie were also here looking at reports.

These were handed over from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's booth.

It is the sales data for the morning.

"How's the data?"

Wang Hao looked at Shi Jie and Xing Qiu.

"The overall statistics have not been compiled yet, but looking at the data from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, it is already very impressive."

"We have sold out one third of the goods we prepared in just one morning. In addition, more than a dozen chambers of commerce have applied to join the activities in the next two days and are willing to purchase our goods."

Xingqiu's face was filled with excitement.
With this achievement, after returning to Liyue, he will not only not be nagged, but will also be praised.

"What about customer feedback?" Wang Hao asked again.

Shi Jie immediately replied: "Everything is good. Although there were some conflicts, they were all resolved. However, there were many problems with the stall of the big merchant Dolly. Someone from the Ministry of Education is already keeping an eye on it."

"Well, we'll make sure there's no conflict at Liyue's stall. As for Dolly, it's up to her."

Wang Hao nodded slightly, then gave Xingqiu a thumbs up.

"You've done a great job this time. When these merchants return to Liyue, they will definitely spread the news. Just wait for your praise."

As he spoke, Wang Hao imitated him in a very realistic manner: "The second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is really amazing. He made a big fuss in Xumi."

Shi Jie also smiled and pretended: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really amazing, worthy of being the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."

"You guys..." Xingqiu's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether it was out of shame or pride.

Seeing Xingqiu's reaction, Wang Hao and Shi Jie laughed.

The three of them are classmates, and it’s really fun when they joke around.

……

The influence of this activity gradually expanded.

On the last day, people even came from Port Omos to participate.

The people of Xumi really need large-scale activities to release their stress.

Of course, this is no longer Wang Hao's business.

After the first day, Wang Hao never went again.

Ying and Paimon, on the other hand, originally wanted to go back to Inazuma, but ended up staying for two more days.
According to the comments, it is a tradition to celebrate the festival while suffering!
Three days passed in a flash.

early morning,

"Wang Hao, Xingqiu, and Shi Jie, we have to go back to Inazuma."

Ying and Paimeng said goodbye to Wang Hao and the other two.

"Take care on your journey. Have you brought everything I prepared for you?" Xingqiu asked.

He prepared a lot of food for Ying and Paimon.

Ying nodded: "Everything is put away."

She has a Chen Ge pot, which can hold a lot of things.

"Ying, you have to be careful in doing what I told you, don't be too hasty." Wang Hao reminded her again.

Ying made a relieved expression: "I know."

Shi Jie didn't say anything else, just said "Have a safe trip".

The farewell is over,

Ying took Paimeng away.

They were going to find a ground anchor point outside of Xumi City, and then go directly to Inazuma.

Watch them leave,

Wang Hao looked at the two people beside him again and said, "I'm going to Jingshan Palace. You two can see if there is anything else you haven't done. Let's take care of it. It's time for us to go back to Liyue."

"Well, come to think of it, I kind of want to go home."

"Haha, we have had such a wonderful time in the past two months."

The two of them nodded.

...Jingshan Palace,

Wang Hao came here for the second time.
Perhaps Nashida had given orders,

The thirty men guarding the door did not stop Wang Hao, nor did they even ask him questions.

Push open the door and go straight in.

In the wide space,

The Tree King Meditation Room is as eye-catching as ever.

However, this time, something is different.
There was no Nashida in the Tree King's meditation room.

[WC, Nashida has come out? ]

[Good guy, there is really no need for a secret key. ]

[Tsk tsk tsk, so the great sage has become even more clownish. 】

【But what about people? 】

【…】

Wang Hao glanced and stopped at the area in front of the Tree King's meditation room.

"Well, can you see it?"

Nashida's voice sounded, and then her figure gradually emerged.

The place where it emerged was where Wang Hao's gaze rested.

"I can't see. What kind of method is this?"

Wang Hao was a little curious.

"It is an imitation of Lanaro. Only people with a childlike heart can see Lanaro."

Nacida said,
"I thought you could see it."

"I can sense where you are, but I can't see you." Wang Hao shook his head slightly.

If you need to be a child to see it, then there is definitely no hope for you.

Childlike innocence, this kind of thing only exists in Wang Hao’s distant memory.

"That's a shame. Keeping a childlike innocence can keep you young."

Nashida sat back in the air, grass elements gathered, and a swing spread out from the void, just enough to catch her.

"Oh, maybe." Wang Hao smiled, and then said directly, "Let's talk about business first."

"Well, I asked you to come here this time for two things."

Seeing that Wang Hao didn't seem to want to talk about childhood, Nashida didn't force him and talked about business.

"First of all, I have to tell you a piece of news about the follow-up of Hazard's handling."

What's next for Hazard?

Wang Hao showed some interest.
This guy had plotted against him before and wanted to drag Liyue into trouble. He was a scumbag and Wang Hao disliked him very much.

At the beginning, Nashida's punishment for him was just life imprisonment, but Azar refused to accept it and was finally handed over to Senor by Nashida.

"The Disciplinary Officer examined the case of the former Great Sage Azar and believed that he had committed many serious mistakes and was unforgivable."

"But since Xumi hasn't had a death sentence for a long time, the disciplinary officer's sentence is exile to the desert."

"He will be exiled to the most desolate desert and will not be allowed to return to the rain forest for thirty years. If he is still alive after thirty years, he will be taken back to Daocheng Forest and imprisoned again."

Nashida spoke in a calm tone, without any emotional fluctuations.

【Tsk tsk tsk, it’s really murderous. 】

[The great sage who hated desert people the most was exiled to the desert. ]

[At Hazard's age, can he really stay in the desert for 30 years? ]

[It's so funny. Not to mention thirty years, as soon as he gets there, the desert people who get the message will kill him.]

So, how is this different from the death penalty?

[The difference is that there is no direct killing. ]

[The disciplinary officer sentenced you to exile. If you died in exile, you can't blame them.]

【…】

The thoughts of the discipline officer can be seen from the comments.

"Tsk, good decision." Wang Hao said with a light sigh.

Although it is not as refreshing as killing directly,
But Wang Hao could also agree with this heart-breaking judgment.

"Seno said Hazard never admitted his mistakes from beginning to end."

"If he admits his mistake, even if it's just silence..."

Nashida sighed slightly and hesitated to speak.

"Do you want to forgive him? This is not a good idea." Wang Hao looked at Nashida and warned her, "Kindness is a good quality, but being too kind will only hurt more people."

Nashida looked at Wang Hao strangely and said, "Why do you think so? I was just thinking that if he admits his mistake, I can give him a decent ending."

Wang Hao: …

【? ? ? ? 】

[You are not Nashida, who are you? ]

[Oh my god, Nashida is not a saint anymore? ]

[Tsk, Nashida now is the moon, not the fake sun.]

【Okay, okay, this is good. 】

【…】

Wang Hao's eyes flickered.

The little lucky grass king in front of me seems to be a little different from what was introduced in the barrage.

"I don't hate Azar for imprisoning me, but I am not qualified to forgive the mistakes he made against Xumi."

Narcida was still speaking,

"If he is willing to admit his mistake... well, I've read some of Liyue's stories. A foot of white silk or a cup of poisoned wine can give him a decent look."

"It's a pity that he doesn't think he's wrong... Then let him experience life in the desert."

After listening to Nashida's words.

Wang Hao couldn't help but nod in agreement: "That's it. If he doesn't want to be respectable, then let him be disrespectful."

Nashida nodded: "Yes, that's it."

"I know the first thing, what about the second one?" Wang Hao ended the topic of Hazard.

Nashida got down from the swing,
Walked in front of Wang Hao,

She stretched out her little hand, and a golden can of knowledge emerged: "The second thing is that I want to ask you for a favor."

【Tree King's canned knowledge! 】

[This is what the Tree King left for Nashida. 】

[The tree king's consciousness space! ]

【The real secret of Xumi! 】

【…】

Before Nashida could introduce herself, the screen was already flooded with comments.

Wang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the golden canned knowledge in front of him: "God's canned knowledge?"

Nashida showed a hint of surprise: "You know this thing."

Canned knowledge is something that the House of Lords prohibits from circulating.

And the canned knowledge of the gods is the most prohibited item among all the prohibited items.

Every year, a large number of crazy scholars appear in the Institute of Teachings, who are the guardians of Aru Village.

These scholars are people who use the spirit phenol incense to communicate with the world tree in an attempt to gain more knowledge.
After communicating with the World Tree, what these people may obtain is not the knowledge of the World Tree.
But pollution is taboo.

In the story narrated in the barrage,
The great sage Azar's plan to create gods is to extract the "knowledge of gods" from the minds of these crazy scholars, so that the scattered soldiers can become gods and possess the spiritual knowledge of gods.

But in reality, most of what he extracted was minor forbidden knowledge.

This is the kind of knowledge that polluted the Eye of Achmar's boss in the plot.

The real canned knowledge of the gods in Xumi is probably only in Nashida's hands.

Something left behind by the Tree King.

"This is something He left for me. I have never been able to decipher it because there is no way to read it. But before, when you appeared, this thing showed a slight movement."

"All I want you to do is to open it with me."

Narcida extended an invitation.

[Oh, that's right. Nashida couldn't open the canned knowledge of the Tree King. In the plot, she used the Heart of Thundergod and the Heart of Grassgod to open it.]

[It should be that the Tree King did it on purpose, just to give Nashida a test. ]

[After all, if we can't even open the canned knowledge, then there's no way to deal with the last legacy of the Tree King. ]

[Stop talking, Wang Hao, save the tree king. ]

【…】

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.

Wang Hao was looking at the golden can of knowledge in front of him.

"How can I help you?"

"It's simple. Release your power and I will guide it. Together, we should be able to open it."

"Okay." Wang Hao agreed immediately.

Wang Hao was also very curious about the Great Compassionate Tree King.

According to the comments in the barrage, the Great Compassion Tree King is the most innocent demon.

Did not participate in the Kanreya War, but was implicated by forbidden knowledge.

The anti-sand wall was built to protect the rainforest, but it eventually became a barrier for the House of Lords to block people's hearts.

He did many great things, but in the end, He was messed up by the people He was protecting.

But this gentle god never gave up on His people.

Even after his death, he tried his best to suppress the spread of forbidden knowledge.

This is undoubtedly a great god.

If he could really help, Wang Hao would not be stingy.

There is no reason.
Being a good person makes him happy.

Under the guidance of Nashida,

Wang Hao's power of order was slowly released.
The same thing happened to Nashida, who also released the emerald green divine power.

The power of the two continued to flow into the golden canned knowledge.

next moment,
The canned knowledge vibrated slightly.

A mysterious space of consciousness is opened.

Wang Hao did not resist the other party's guidance.
Consciousness gradually sinks.

Wait till he opens his eyes.

The first thing you see when you enter is a black and red space.

"Hmm, disgusting taste."

After looking around, Wang Hao showed a look of disgust.

This taste is almost the same as the original reversed statue.

No, it's even more disgusting than the reversed statue.

"This... is His consciousness space?"

"How could this be?"

Nashida looked around with a hint of sadness and her eyes full of disbelief.

At this time, Nashida didn't know about the forbidden knowledge.

Wang Hao blinked, and the barrage disappeared from his eyes.

But he had a vague feeling that if he wanted, he could also bring the barrage over.

This is the space of consciousness, but it is somewhat different from the dream space of the Loom of Destiny.

The dream space is fake.

And this space of consciousness is real.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao had an idea.
The eyes slowly wavered,
The familiar barrage box appears.

[Oh, oh, I thought I was offline. ]

【Where is this? 】

[The tree king's consciousness space. ]

[We must continue to move forward, through the boat of consciousness, to the location of the World Tree. ]

[Wang Hao can now broadcast the consciousness space live. 】

【…】

The barrage was a bit confusing, but Wang Hao also got some information.

The boat of consciousness.

After a pause, Wang Hao looked at Nashida and said, "Let's move on."

Hearing Wang Hao's voice, Nashida came back to her senses, the worry in her eyes faded slightly, and she nodded: "Okay."

I looked around at the disgusting environment.

Wang Hao's mind moved, and the golden divine power shone brightly.

The dark red aura slowly faded away.

"Let's go."

Like a human-shaped light bulb, Wang Hao dispelled the nauseating aura and walked forward.

Although this is a space of consciousness, it still gathers many monsters.

In fact, it is the pollution that condenses the malice and transforms into monsters.

It's a bit dangerous, but for Wang Hao, it's nothing.

Easily solved several waves of monsters,

A large wooden ship appeared in front of the two.

“The ship of consciousness.”

Wang Hao whispered softly.

Nashida opened her eyes even wider: "I feel it, He is calling me!"

In Nashida's perception, she had already heard that gentle voice.
Although her birth and the fall of the tree king were synchronized.

Although she had never heard His voice,

But Nashida was very sure that the voice she perceived was that of the great god.

"Well, from now on you will lead the way and I will steer the ship."

Wang Hao boarded the boat of consciousness and took control of the rudder.

Faintly, something began to erode him.

However, under the protection of the golden power of order, such erosion is futile.

And Wang Hao gradually sensed the source of the erosion.

That is a set of rules that are completely different from those of Teyvat.

In other words, an order that does not belong to the order of Teyvat.

Yes, forbidden knowledge is also order, but it is completely different from Teyvat and is not accepted by Teyvat, so in Teyvat, it becomes extremely dangerous.

The reason why Wang Hao felt disgusted was because Wang Hao accepted the order of Teyvat, so he naturally stood on the side of Teyvat.

Controlling the boat of consciousness,

Continuously traveling through this disgusting dark red space,

Under Nashida's guidance, Wang Hao continued to move forward.

I don’t know how long it took,
The dark red mist in front of me suddenly faded away.
The boat of consciousness has suddenly broken through the fog and entered a pink and white space.

A huge tree stands in the center of the space.
Wang Hao looked around, as if he could see the whole world.

"Let's go and uncover all the mysteries."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Hao said to Nashida beside him.

"Huh~" Nashida also took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Let's go, I'm ready."

Leaving the boat of consciousness,

The two walked along the pink and white road towards the center of the consciousness space.

Finally, it stopped in front of the giant tree.

"This is it."

Nashida stopped and looked ahead, with a slight fluctuation in her eyes.

Wang Hao also saw the figure under the tree.

It was a figure exactly like Nashida.

"I thought you would be a little later, but I didn't expect you to come so early."

He spoke slowly.

"Me...? You look exactly like me..." Looking at the figure under the World Tree, Nashida's eyes were filled with shock, "You are... the Great Kindness Tree King?"

The figure under the World Tree who looked exactly like Nashida nodded: "Yes, it's me. Does this look... surprise you? Buyer."

Nashida opened her mouth, somewhat at a loss for words.

This scene really shocked her.
That noble god, the one who is regarded as the supreme god by the great sages of all ages,

It's exactly the same as her!
Looking at Nashida who was somewhat speechless,

The Great Compassion Tree King smiled slightly, did not urge him, but turned his gaze to Wang Hao.

There was also a hint of surprise in His eyes.

"Greetings, new order."

When he faced Wang Hao, he used honorifics.

Wang Hao also bowed slightly to show his respect: "I pay my highest respects to you, Your Majesty the Great Compassionate Tree King."

"Thanks for helping get Bujer here a little earlier than planned."

Different from Nashida's innocence and purity,

Even though he looks exactly like Nashida, the Great Compassion Tree King gives people a feeling of gentleness and wisdom.

While talking to Wang Hao, his eyes fell on Nashida.
"With the extra time, I can make more plans and leave more... knowledge to Buyer."

His words woke Nashida up, and she looked over anxiously, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by extra time? Also, why are we... exactly the same?"

Nashida had too many doubts that she wanted to tell the Great Compassionate Tree King.

As if he saw the surprise and confusion in Nashida's eyes,
The Great Compassionate Tree King explained, "This is a reproduction of the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, but it is also a space of consciousness after all. Since you and I have the same [essence], we also appear to be exactly the same."

Nashida's eyes were still blank. In her understanding, she was born after the death of the Great Kindness Tree King.
But the Great Compassionate Tree King said that their essences were the same, which Nashida could not understand.

"Why are they essentially the same?"

"Because you are me, and I am you."

The Great Kind Tree King smiled gently. Even though she used the image of Nashida, her gentleness and kindness were still difficult to conceal.

"You are my reincarnation."

“Reincarnation.”

The Great Compassionate Tree King smiled and said, "As the Great Compassionate Tree King, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch broken off from the World Tree."

“It’s like… even if a tree dies, its branches will one day take root and grow, continuing life in another form.”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Hao: "Just like... the old order will die, and the new order will be born, but no matter what, order is still order, and its essence never changes."

Wang Hao's eyes moved, revealing a hint of shock.

The barrage in his eyes was full of question marks.

What the Great Compassionate Tree King said is really interesting.

He compared the relationship between Nashida and himself to the relationship between Wang Hao and the old order.

This made Wang Hao realize that the Great Compassion Tree King was hinting at something.

Nashida also understood some of it, but she was unwilling to accept it: "But you are not completely dead yet, you can continue to exist."

"No, Buyer, I have been infected by the forbidden knowledge and have fallen. What is in front of you is only the consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King. The real Great Compassion Tree King has fallen."

"Buyer, you should accept this fact. When you were born, the Great Compassion Tree King fell."

"Fate has brought you to where I am today. Now, it's time to start a new cycle."

Listening to the words of the Great Kind Tree King,

In Wang Hao's eyes, the comments began to urge him.
He also frowned slightly, and finally said, "Your Majesty, I have to remind you that the revision of the World Tree is unfair to Nashida."

He and the barrage had already heard that the remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King still hoped that Nashida would completely delete her.

Just like what the barrage once said,

Only when the Great Compassionate Tree King disappears completely will the forbidden knowledge entangled with Him disappear.

The new reincarnation he spoke of was a clean world tree that was not contaminated by forbidden knowledge.

The Great Compassion Tree King glanced at the confused Nashida.
Nashida, who had not yet taken over the World Tree, had no idea what Wang Hao was talking about.

"This is the fate that the Grass God should accept. Only by completely erasing me can Xumi be saved."

The Great Compassionate Tree King spoke in a calm tone, as if the one who was about to disappear completely was not him.

Wang Hao's eyes lit up slightly, and the power of order shone faintly.

"No, I can offer a new destiny!"
