Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated

Chapter 306 Let the World Forget Me Completely

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was as clear as a mirror amid the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

On the treetops of Xumi City, a man in black and the little auspicious grass king were sleeping on each treetop, but their breathing was strangely synchronized, and not even but very rapid, as if they were in the same nightmare.

Their consciousness was drawn into a dark space, with gusts of cold wind blowing, piercing their bone marrow.

A gentle voice came from someone unknown: "The world...forgot me..."

The little auspicious grass king was still pulling at the corner of her black clothes, with panic in her eyes, but she was also looking around curiously. She didn't know where this was, but it seemed to be connected to her.

Mo Ran gently patted the god on the back and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I know where this is, and nothing will happen."

As he spoke, Mo Ran transmitted everything into Nashida's mind about the structure of this space, why it existed, and how they entered.

Nashida took a quick look at this massive amount of information and was able to remember and understand it all, and then told it herself based on the current situation.

"Thousands of years ago, the desert was once contaminated by forbidden knowledge. It was only after the Great Compassion Tree King overdrew its power that it was successfully expelled."

"It is not difficult to believe that the second forbidden knowledge pollution was caused by the Kanreya catastrophe five hundred years ago. This time, it even endangered the World Tree!"

"The Great Compassion Tree King was originally dead, but in the fight against the forbidden knowledge, life was born again. Although it failed to eradicate it, it also controlled the scope of the forbidden knowledge to a great extent."

"Everyone, including me, will forget the forbidden knowledge. I'm afraid it's because of the influence of the World Tree."

Nashida took a deep breath, put one hand over her heart, and murmured to herself: "The consciousness here is seriously polluted, full of madness, suffering, and chaos."

"Is it under such circumstances that she persisted in fighting against the pollution of forbidden knowledge until her death?!"

"This is what a qualified god should be..."

Mo Ran looked at the child who was in self-doubt again and advised: "Don't think like that. Now Nashida has entered this space, right? Cheer up quickly and fight side by side with this senior!"

Nashida nodded slightly, looked at the endless darkness in front of her, and said softly: "After passing through these filthy consciousnesses, I can meet with the consciousness left by the Great Compassion Tree King. Then, I can let her teach me."

There was a gleam in her emerald green eyes. She suppressed her fear and took a step with her soft little feet. However, she did not feel the chill or burning pain as she had imagined, and there was nothing unusual.

"This is... sir?"

Nashida looked back and saw a man in black raising his left hand, absorbing the filthy consciousness. The vortex in his hand became a bright lamp, as if guiding her.

"Before Nashida becomes a god, let me help you. You are a thoughtful child and you deserve such a reward!" Mo Ran said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, sir."

Nashida was already extremely grateful to this human being whom she had never met but who had the same essence as herself. If she was not afraid of being too abrupt, she would have acknowledged him as an elder.

"How many times have you said this since we met?" Mo Ran asked with a teasing look in his eyes.

Nashida scratched her head and said, "Nashida doesn't remember, can you guess it yourself, sir?"

"No need to guess. I'll accept this thank you from the gods of a country!" Mo Ran waved his hand, and two wind elemental forces blew up. He brought Nashida with him and pushed forward all the way. Wherever they passed, no filth was left.

Soon after, they seemed to have reached their destination, which was the end of this space of consciousness, where the World Tree was.

Outside the World Tree, there is cloud and mist, making it difficult to identify. The World Tree is huge in size, taller than any tree Mo Ran has ever seen. It connects the sky and the earth, and carries the affairs of all living beings in the world. The answers to the things happening in Teyvat can be found here.

The pink leaves are falling, and the color of the tree trunks is very dull, indicating that the pollution of taboo knowledge is very serious and needs to be removed as soon as possible.

Under the World Tree, there stood a petite figure. Her body was not a real object, but a disembodied soul. Both her appearance and clothing were exactly the same as Nashida's.

"Me? Exactly the same as me... Are you the Great Kindness Tree King?" Nashida took a step forward and ran a little closer.

"Hmm." Another "Nashida", the consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King, said calmly, "It's me. Are you surprised by my appearance?"

"This is a reproduction of the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, but it is still a consciousness space after all. Since you and I have the same essence, we appear to be exactly the same."

"Is it because I am the branch you broke off, and you and I are the same, and are the cause of reincarnation?" Nashida already knew how she was born when she was in black clothes.

"It seems you already know." The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the man in black with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Otherwise, we may have to wait for a while."

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Mo Ran shook his head.

The Great Compassion Tree King hesitated for a moment and got back to the point: "I am now just a wisp of regret. The real me should have been dead for five hundred years. You finally came, the reincarnated me!"

"In that case, can I become a great god like you one day?" Nashida asked with anticipation, her eyes sparkling.

The Great Kind Tree King smiled and said, "Although you and I have the same essence, our future destinies will definitely be different. Everything has its own destiny, just like a branch that grows into a new tree cannot be exactly the same as the original one."

Narcida asked, "So... fate is the ultimate knowledge, right?"

"That's a great idea. I agree." The Great Compassion Tree King nodded and smiled, "That's why you won't become me..."

"Really?" Nashida lowered her head, very depressed.

When she was trapped in the cage, she kept listening to the stories of the Great Compassionate Tree King, so she worked tirelessly to become such a great god.

Now that he has been denied by the Great Compassionate Tree King himself, it is impossible for him to say that he does not feel lost and sad.

"But you may become a greater god than me, hehe." The Great Compassion Tree King continued the previous words and slowly added:

"I have seen in you the willpower that I did not have back then. The future it leads to is your destiny, and it belongs only to you!"

"And those are also the gifts brought by everything you have experienced. Don't worry, the growth of wisdom is just like the growth of plants. You just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom."

Hearing this, Nashida turned around and looked at the man in black. After getting his affirmation, she took a few steps forward and walked in front of the Great Compassionate Tree King, and in front of herself in her previous reincarnation.

Nashida looked grateful and said softly, "Thank you. This is such a happy thing. The goal I have always admired is to have a different destiny... It's great to be able to talk to you, King of the Great Kindness Tree. I have always wanted to see you."

"I am the same. From the moment I broke off the branch of the World Tree and created you, I have been looking forward to having a conversation with you like this." The Great Compassion Tree King's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said, "You should know everything about the forbidden knowledge, right?"

"Yes, sir, you have told me everything, but what is the answer to that sentence?" Nashida looked at the identical "self" in front of her and had a bad feeling.

The Great Compassionate Tree King looked at the huge World Tree and said with some sadness: "My consciousness is connected with the World Tree. The World Tree brings me wisdom and knowledge, but filth also finds me."

"From the very beginning, my existence has been contaminated by forbidden knowledge. Even if I die, my existence and everything related to me will still be preserved in the World Tree as memories and knowledge. Then forbidden knowledge can never be eradicated!"

"And I... can never eradicate myself. This is a paradox. So, I broke off the purest branch from the World Tree as my reincarnation, and left a clue, waiting for you to have the right help, and then I will bring you here."

"Just to completely erase me, who has been contaminated by forbidden knowledge, from the World Tree!"

Nashida's eyes trembled, and she shook her head and said anxiously: "No, that's not right, it shouldn't be like this..."

The Great Compassionate Tree King chuckled and said, "Do you already know the result? Haha, you are really smart. Just as you thought, the World Tree contains all the knowledge and memories of this world. If you erase me from the World Tree..."

"It's like I've never existed in this world, but this is the only way to save the World Tree."

Nashida had tears in her eyes and uttered in a hoarse voice, "People love you so much, and everyone has been missing you... How can I, how can I forget you like this!"

"Is there really no other way?" Nashida turned around and looked at the motionless man in black, pleading, "Sir, even you have no other way?"

Mo Ran was silent. The Great Compassion Tree King in front of him was not the real body, but just a remnant, and it coexisted with forbidden knowledge. Whether it could be rescued was still unknown.

The sadness in the eyes of the Great Compassion Tree King disappeared, leaving only calmness and gentleness. She said calmly: "You are the God of Wisdom, Buyer, you should know that there is no other way."

"Although you are very powerful, please don't risk your life for my regret. Before you leave, I would like to ask you for a favor, is that okay?"

"Just say it." Mo Ran nodded.

"Thank you, sir." The Great Compassion Tree King said, "If Xumi is about to suffer a catastrophe in the future, I hope you can help, but if you are really unable to do so, then so be it!"

"If you agree, sir, I can use the World Tree to find the information you need as a token of exchange."

"There's no rush. You guys can just reminisce about the past first. I'll just wait a little longer." Mo Ran folded his hands into his sleeves and said calmly.

"Okay." The Great Compassion Tree King looked at his reincarnated self and said, "Okay, Buyer, don't be so sad. As a wise man, you should feel happy after getting the answer."

"This is the answer you have been looking for, the words that have not been revealed: Let the world completely forget me!"

The Great Kind Tree King looked at the Little Auspicious Grass King like a mother looking at her child whom she had not seen for many years, with tenderness in her eyes and a loving face.

"We all perch under the tree of wisdom, trying to read the world, reading it from the soil, reading it from the rain, and then becoming ordinary birds, climbing up the branches, and finally grabbing that crucial leaf in our mouths."

The Great Kind Tree King raised his arms, hugged the Little Auspicious Grass King, and whispered in her ear: "Once upon a time, I was the only person in the world who could dream. In my dreams, everyone would fall asleep at night."

"Strange thoughts float in people's minds, some tumble to the ground, some float to the sky, connecting all things into a dazzling network. Among the three thousand worlds, there are small worlds, and all destinies are boiling in them."

"I gradually understood that these indescribable and ever-changing things are the most profound things in the world. Only they can convey and drive away those madness, and only dreams can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness."

"I am the one who proposes the question, and I am also the one who seeks the answer. I save the world with the dreams of the people. This was my answer, and you have found your own answer. I will return all the dreams to the world."

"Goodbye, people of Xumi. May you have sweet dreams tonight!"

Crystal clear tears rolled down Nashida's cheeks. The sacrifice of the Great Compassionate Tree King was a result she absolutely did not want, but it seemed that this was the only way at the moment. What should she do?

The Great Compassion Tree King patted her back, looked at a figure in black not far away, and asked, "What have you considered, sir?"

"I've thought about it."
