Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a loud knock on the door of Elhaisen's office.

"Please..." Before Elhaisen could finish his words, the door was pushed open with great force, and Sora and Paimon rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Sorry, we're in a hurry to find Su!" Paimon explained hastily and then took the girl up, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, something big has happened!"

Before Su got angry, Kong took her and Paimon on a super long-distance cross-border teleportation and came directly to Inazuma.

Kong understood what Nashida said, but he still wanted to confirm the situation himself. The most direct way was to go to Inazuma to verify!

Elhaisen put down his pen and walked over, putting his coat, which had fallen on the bench, back on his shoulders.

After sensing the body temperature of another person remaining on his clothes, the young man paused and said, "The sense of presence is a little too strong."

I don't know if it's talking about body temperature or something else.

——*——*——

Kong told Su the cause and process of the incident, "I am partially responsible for this incident."

It was his performance at that moment that caused [Scattered Soldier] to misunderstand, and [Scattered Soldier] got the wrong answer and made an unworthy sacrifice.

Even if he deleted himself from the World Tree and paid such a huge price, what [Skirmisher] wanted to achieve might still not be accomplished.

Su looked confused as if he had just woken up, and his reaction was a few beats slow, "Huh? Ah... It's not Kong's fault, don't take all the responsibility on yourself again."

Paimon began to feel something was wrong, "Su, what are you doing...?"

Although she didn't remember that [Scattered Soldier], after hearing what Kong had said, she could sense that [Scattered Soldier] and Su had a deep connection. Su shouldn't have reacted like this...

The girl curled herself up into a ball. "He didn't want to live any longer, and last time... Anyway, I saw him for the last time."

If this world is nothing but pain for him, and he has to give up and escape at all costs, then so be it.

He can't figure it out on his own, and no matter how many times others try to stop him, it's useless.

Sooner or later he will find new ways and opportunities to destroy himself.

At least, now he can find peace.

Although he may not be able to feel it since he no longer exists.

Haha.

Seeing that Su didn't want to move, he left her and Paimon to rest and began to wander around Inazuma alone looking for answers.

Paimon circled around the curled up girl, "Su? Look up and let Paimon touch your forehead..."

——*——*——

With the help of anchor points, Sora quickly appears and disappears in various places in Inazuma, constantly searching for people who know about the Tadashi Sand Incident and the Five Lightning Transmissions.

But the final result was that, except for the loss of a former Stranger who later became a [Scattered Soldier], nothing had changed.

The disaster of stepping on the sand still happened, and the relevant personnel were either dismissed from their posts or died tragically.

Even if you delete yourself and give everything, those who died will not get a chance to start over, and their unfortunate lives cannot be saved.

He sacrificed himself and tried his best to change history, but got nothing. The result of fighting against fate was too powerless.

Did that doll really disappear just like that?

I have been chasing and searching for the meaning of existence, but in the end it just disappeared meaninglessly!

Sora returned to his companions with doubts and anger about the fate of Teyvat.

"Kong!" Paimon rushed over, "Su she has a fever!"

——*——*——

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Tinari changed a wet towel for the girl lying flat on her back, "I'll go make some medicine later, just feed it to her while it's hot."

"Oh, thank you, Doctor Xiaoti." Paimon nodded repeatedly and reminded, "Well, well, the medicine should not be too bitter, too sour or smelly..."

"Then why don't you just make a bowl of sugar water for Su?" Tinari shook his head and sighed as he left. "I hate parents like you who spoil their children and make unreasonable demands."

Paimon flew back awkwardly, looking at Kong holding Su's hand without saying a word, "Kong...don't blame yourself too much. Su is right, don't always take the responsibility on yourself."

Sora shook his head and said nothing.

He shouldn't have cooperated with Sue and deliberately ignored her condition recently just because she didn't want to show it.

He originally thought that by giving her some time and space, she would be able to slowly digest the negative emotions of breaking up with her old friend.

Unexpectedly, the puppet's influence on Su was actually greater than he thought, or even greater than Su himself thought.

Even though Su had experienced this before, the subject of breakup and farewell was still difficult for him to bear and digest.

Ke Lai brought a folding bed over, "Master said that you seem to have consumed a lot of energy, so you'd better take a rest."

The master also said that Sue had a fever now and they might not want to be separated, so she simply moved a folding bed over.

"Thank you, Cole. Put it down, put it down!" Paimon felt that he had been worrying a lot today. "Can your body handle such heavy work? Are you tired?"

Cole made a strong gesture, "I'm fine. My physical condition has stabilized since everyone destroyed the dead zone. When you and Lord Little Lucky Grass King healed the World Tree, my magic scale disease also disappeared. I'm very healthy now!"

The Traveler Team is not only her friends, but also her benefactors. She is so happy to be able to help in a small way, so how could she feel tired?

What she should do now is to exercise more. She wrote to Amber and told her that Amber was very happy after she recovered and kept inviting her to Mond to play.

Cole chatted briefly for a few words and then went out. Paimon also flew out to see if Tinari's medicine was ready.

Sora felt his palm being tickled by slightly hot fingers, and quickly came back to his senses, "What's wrong? Do you want some water or do you want to sit up?"

Su raised his hand and created a soundproof barrier. After all, what he was going to say next was confidential.

"I want you to stop being so stubborn." Su's brain was working at high speed, "Remember? Even God cannot completely delete himself."

null:!

Yes! Even the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't delete himself, so he had to ask Nashida to execute the plan to make the world completely forget her, so it was impossible for [Skirmisher] to delete himself!

But... [Scattered Soldier] did disappear, and the entire world produced a modified automatic completion just like when the Great Compassion Tree King disappeared, so what is his current situation?

"Don't think about it. Nashida must have made some arrangements."

Sora was slightly stunned, "Nashida?"

"Yeah," Su nodded and said with a smile, "Nashida is actually very, very smart."

She guessed that Nashida must have anticipated and prepared for everything before it happened.

"Nashida agreed to let the puppet enter such an important place inside the World Tree. Given her intelligence and sense of responsibility, it is impossible for her not to take precautions."

We must protect the World Tree from being destroyed and protect the safety of Sora and Paimon.

She guessed again that Nashida did not try her best to stop this incident from happening. Firstly, she knew that even if she stopped it this time, she could not stop it every time. Secondly, she wanted to take this opportunity to confirm some things.

The disappearance of such an important existence as the Great Compassionate Tree King will cause many gaps and anomalies in history.

What the World Tree did was to directly "graft" the past of the Great Compassionate Tree King onto the Little Auspicious Grass King.

The "truth" now is this:

The God of Grass is a god of his generation. Because he lost too much strength in trying to save the Red King from his mess, he became weaker and his body also shrank.

Because of the Kanreya catastrophe, his strength was reduced again. This time, he not only became smaller, but his mentality also regressed to the level of a child. He needed more time to recuperate, learn and grow again.

During the hundreds of years she was recuperating in seclusion, the sages of the Order Institute coveted power. In order not to return the power, they chose the demon god who made machines to seize the divine power. In the end, the plan was exposed and was completely defeated by the little lucky grass king and her friends who came out of seclusion.

Although Nashida accepted this memory, she did not completely believe it.

The various deeds of the Great Compassion Tree King in the past, her deep feelings with the Flower God and the Red King...

Although Nashida "inherited" these passively, these memories and feelings were as hazy to her as veil and fog.

Nashida also felt guilty about this.

"They are such important friends and happy memories, but when I think about them, it's like I'm reading a picture book, and I can only feel the emotional ups and downs of a bystander..."

The answer the World Tree gave her was that because she had overdrawn her strength twice, some of her memories and emotions had been consumed as a price, but she still felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Judging from Nashida's understanding of herself, as long as there is a little bit of strength left, she will do her best to preserve the good memories of her friends.

Su, who was listening to her friend's troubles, wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she could not say anything and could only turn her back without saying a word.

Perhaps the smarter people are, the more they want to control their own situation, and the more curious they are about people or things that are vague and full of mystery.

But her and Sora's attitudes, as well as Nashida's own premonitions and instincts, prevented Nashida from thinking and exploring more deeply.

If you can't solve the puzzle directly, then verify your guess vaguely from the side.

Sora nodded, "No wonder..." No wonder Nashida wanted him and Paimon to go inside the World Tree as well.

Having him as an Adventer to witness the entire event can itself be seen as a layer of insurance.

Sora thought of the saplings that Nashida used to fix the passageway. "Perhaps Nashida did this in order to determine the true state of the World Tree."

They had seen the appearance of the World Tree in the consciousness space of the Great Compassionate Tree King before, but it was most likely a beautified appearance.

The Great Tree King said that the World Tree was severely eroded by forbidden knowledge during the Kanreya catastrophe, so the real World Tree should not be so dreamy and beautiful.

The remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King was shrouded in the pollution of forbidden knowledge, and then Nashida deleted her completely.

So after the lesion was removed from the original world tree, is there any remaining part?

Is five hundred years enough time for the branches to grow into a new world tree that can support the land veins of Teyvat?

Thinking back to the tree of concept with a broken trunk that he and Paimon saw inside the World Tree...

Sora believes that the World Tree currently most likely has two layers.

The outer shell is the remains of the World Tree from the Great Compassion Tree King era, after the contamination of forbidden knowledge has been cleared away. Deep in the heart of the tree, there is a small sapling belonging to Nashida that is trying hard to grow.

Although the original World Tree maintained the flow of Teyvat's earth veins for five hundred years, seeing it broken like that, one can imagine that it has only been struggling to hold on for the past five hundred years, and the day when it can no longer hold on will come sooner or later.

The sooner the problem is clarified and identified, the better the preventive and response measures can be taken.

Since it is difficult to stop the puppet's self-destructive heart, just make preparations and guarantees, and then achieve the goal as much as possible.

Nashida is indeed the goddess of wisdom.

Sora pursed his lips, "Then what remains to be determined is where the puppet is and what its condition is."

The void terminal beside Kong's ear lit up, and the message sent by Nashida said that she had searched the entire territory starting from Xumi for suspected personnel based on the appearance characteristics of the "skirmisher" described by Kong, and then found a person with a very high match in Xumi City.

Location: Xumi City Grand Bazaar

Paimon flew in carefully, carrying a bowl of warm medicine. "The medicine is ready! Kong, help Su up and let him drink the medicine."

Su removed the barrier, frowned and took a sip of the medicine. Without waiting for Paimon to persuade her that bitter medicine is good for the disease, the girl smacked her lips and drank it all in one gulp, even feeling a little unsatisfied.

Su: “This, this, tastes delicious!”

Paimon showed a relieved expression as he didn't have to engage in a tug-of-war with Su over drinking medicine.

What? Although Tinari talked so much, he still helped prepare the medicinal soup which was not bad to drink and was even quite delicious.

Dr. Xiaoti is tough on the outside but soft on the inside!

"Even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much." Tinari also came in and handed two wrapped medicine bags to Kong. "Write the boiling instructions on it. Give her another dose after six hours. If the fever is completely gone, there's no need to give her the third dose."

After taking the medicine, Su started to get out of bed and put on his shoes. Kong put away the medicine bag and thanked Tinari.

"You're welcome," Tinari waved his hand. "Looking at you guys, I guess you still have things to do, so I won't keep you here. Remember to take care of yourself when you go out."

"Don't always try to be brave, Sora, you too."

Su rushed over and ruffled Dr. Xiaoti's ear hair, then jumped back to his friend and urged, "Quick, quick, quick! Teleport now!"

If you don't leave now, Xiaoti might snatch the medicine bag back and replace it with a more unpalatable one for her!

Tinari, with his fluttering ears, had a "crossroads" on his forehead. He tried to hold it in but couldn't help laughing.

Never mind, she seemed to have recovered a lot of strength, which at least showed that his medical skills and pharmaceutical technology were top-notch.

Ke Lai stuck his head out and said, "Su really likes Master's big ears." He could never resist touching and rubbing them every time they met.

"Master," Kelai showed a soft-bristled comb, "Do you need my attentive hair-smoothing service?"

Tinari directly confiscated his apprentice's "filial piety" and asked, "Have you finished the homework assigned yesterday?"

"Woo woo..." Cole went back to do his homework dejectedly.

Having successfully maintained his dignity as a master, Tinari carefully trimmed his ear hair.

Don’t think he doesn’t know what Ke Lai is thinking. Does he think he can take advantage of his master’s mess to get a chance to touch his ears?

Impossible! You have to exchange it for a hundred little red flowers!
