Elhaysen looked at the god from a distance, and immediately understood why the sages who brought back the Little Lucky Grass King directly recognized her as the new god.
Same power, same appearance.
There must be an extraordinary connection between her and King Daci Shu.
Is it reincarnation?
Or something else?
Nasida stepped forward step by step.
"Exactly like me...are you the Great Ci Tree King?"
It was also her first time to see King Daci Tree. Before that, she had never thought that she was exactly the same as King Daci Tree.
There is too much information represented here.
"Does this look surprise you?"
Compared to Nasida's voice, King Daci Shu's voice was much more mature.
This is perhaps the most direct way to distinguish the two.
"This shows the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, but after all, it is just a space of consciousness. Since you and I have the same [essence], we also show exactly the same appearance."
"Why are they essentially the same?"
"Because you are me and I am you."
Boy, this is a lot of information!
After some explanations from the Big Tree King, several people also understood why they were essentially the same.
They were both born from the World Tree. The Great Merciful Tree King is the incarnation of the World Tree, and Nacida is the purest branch broken off from the World Tree.
Even if the tree dies, the separated branches will grow back and become a new tree.
Jiang Bai was surprised that the Great Ci Tree King himself was the incarnation of the World Tree.
He had always thought that connecting to the World Tree was a power of the Grass God, and most of this power came from the Heart of God.
It turned out not to be the case at all.
The Great Merciful Tree King = World Tree.
The Heart of God is just the icing on the cake for the Great Merciful Tree King.
But it's different for Little Lucky Grass King.
She is just a branch that has not yet grown up, just a small tree with weak power. She must rely on the power of the heart of God to get here.
When she reaches a certain level, perhaps the Heart of God will be useless to her.
Being recognized by King Daci Shu was a very happy thing for Nasida.
The target she once longed for and admired turned out to be another self with a different destiny, which suddenly gave her great confidence.
"Can you tell me why you created me? And what happened when you died?"
The existing Daci Tree King is just a trace of consciousness that has been dead for many years. It has been kept here, waiting for the arrival of new seedlings.
At the mention of this, everyone focused their attention.
Everyone present was curious about the [answer].
What happened? Why did the World Tree encounter such serious pollution?
What happened to King Daci Tree back then slowly came to light. The answers Jiang Bai once curiously asked Zhongli about, but never got, came out from the mouth of King Daci Tree.
“On the day of the disaster, even the sky turned blood red…
“The original Seven Gods were summoned to the kingdom of Kanria, but I have another more important task, which is to protect the World Tree.
"The disaster came with the pollution of forbidden knowledge. Almost at the same moment, my consciousness was connected to the World Tree and I noticed something strange.
"The mental pain began to torture me. When I rushed to the World Tree, it was already being eroded by forbidden knowledge..."
Jiang Bai found that what King Daci Shu said was slightly different from the information he had previously obtained from the canned knowledge of the gods.
Didn’t the forbidden knowledge originate from the Red King?
Or did disaster break out along with forbidden knowledge?
Forbidden knowledge that had been temporarily contained became resonant with disaster? It erupted again, severely damaging the World Tree.
Forbidden knowledge is a "virus" from outside the world, so does the source of this disaster also come from a force outside the world?
Two viruses with similar properties were added to the poison, directly destroying Yggdrasil's "anti-virus system".
Jiang Bai thinks this explanation is quite reasonable.
King Daci Shu's story continues, which also proves the correctness of Jiang Bai's conjecture.
"...If I hadn't worked with the Red King to control the pollution of forbidden knowledge a thousand years ago, I would have been at a loss what to do."
"What exactly is forbidden knowledge?"
"It is knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is also a truth that cannot be understood. He came down from the bottom of the abyss, and even I cannot understand it. The world is rejecting it, but it has also caused various bad symptoms in the world. "
The Daci Tree King's statement was too general, and Jiang Bai felt that "virus" was easier to understand.
The World Tree is like a super computer, and forbidden knowledge is the virus that invades it.
If the forbidden knowledge is allowed to continue to pollute the World Tree, the entire Teyvat may fall apart.
The Great Ci Tree King clearly realized that her power could not clear away the forbidden knowledge, so she created a device that integrated human wisdom and named it Void.
She integrated people's wisdom and dedicated all her power, finally clearing all the forbidden knowledge in the World Tree.
But this does not mean that forbidden knowledge has really been completely eradicated.
As an entity that is one with the World Tree, the Great Merciful Tree King has been contaminated by forbidden knowledge.
Even if she dies, her existence and everything related to her will be turned into memory and knowledge and stored in the World Tree. In this way, forbidden knowledge can never be eradicated.
This is the true meaning of "The World Forgot Me".
"So that's it..." Alhaysen finally understood everything.
The reason why the Order Council has been doing useless work is because they went in the wrong direction from the beginning.
The desire to heal the World Tree does not lie in the healing of the World Hand itself, but in the Great Merciful Tree King.
Even if the Order Institute creates a god, as long as that god cannot come here, the withering of the World Tree will continue.
A miracle like the governance of forbidden knowledge thousands of years ago may happen, but the likelihood of such a miracle happening is slim.
Nacida covered her heart. Even though she already knew what to do, she still felt uncontrollable heartache.
Tears fell down her cheeks, hot tears falling to the ground.
"I don't want to forget you...is there no other way?"
"No more. Let my existence disappear completely. This is the only way to heal the world."
The Great Ci Tree King caressed her cheek and wiped away the tears from her face.
"I see in you a will that I didn't possess back then. You may become a greater god than me."
Nacida looked at her blankly, her tears flowing even more fiercely.
She had just met her Taiyang, and she had obviously been mentally prepared for it, but when it came time to actually put it into practice, it was so uncomfortable.
King Daci Shu held her in his arms, and the two individuals with the same essence hugged each other tightly.
"The world does not need two World Trees. The death of the old tree will bring nourishment and nourishment to the new saplings, and my existence will disappear together with the old tree.
"Grow up, the old tree has decayed, and the new tree will carry everything."
As her words fell, the tiny tree grew rapidly, sprouted, and sprouted new branches. The dense branches and leaves gradually covered the sky and the sun, becoming lush and full of life.
It took over the responsibility from the withered tree and everything it carried.
The figure of the Great Merciful Tree King disappeared together with the withered tree, as if it had never appeared.
When I re-read the plot, I felt that there was a slight bug, so the plot here was changed and written in the way that I think is the most reasonable.
Daci Tree King=World Tree
Little Lucky Grass King = Little World Tree
The Great Merciful Tree King is gone, but the World Tree is still there. So will the Little Auspicious Grass King and the branches that have been picked go back to the tree, or will they take root in the ground?
So I chose to let the Little Lucky Grass King become the new World Tree, which makes sense.
(Actually, I feel that according to the development of the plot, the doctor burns the tree → the old world tree is gone, and the forbidden knowledge is completely solved → Nasida grows into a new world tree, which is more reasonable)
