Under the guidance of Nasida.
Lin Feng and the soldiers felt a golden light flashing before their eyes.
When you open your eyes again.
They were already standing in a strange space.
It’s different than imagined.
Originally, the three of them thought that when they came in, they would be able to see the World Tree at a glance.
However, this is not the case.
The place where they settled was a dark and damp cave.
The vines growing here are not a healthy emerald green, but a dizzying burgundy and dark purple color. Even this space is filled with this weird color.
"Shouldn't we enter the World Tree?"
The skirmisher frowned and asked Nasida.
"That's the end of our trip."
"well--"
Nasida sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the remaining consciousness of the Great Ci Tree King would be so seriously polluted."
"Forbidden knowledge."
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders.
The Great Merciful Tree King is the incarnation of the World Tree on the continent of Teyvat.
The only thing that can pollute the space of World Tree to this extent is forbidden knowledge.
"Um."
Nasida nodded, her face a little solemn.
Something about forbidden knowledge reappearing in Xumi.
She learned this from Elhaysen and the others after she was rescued again.
The Ecclesiastical Council calls this the realm of gods that is inaccessible to mortals.
As the successor of King Daci Shu.
Even though she had been imprisoned for five hundred years and had no contact with the outside world, her alertness and vigilance towards forbidden knowledge were innate instincts.
Thousands of years ago, there was a large-scale pollution of forbidden knowledge in the desert of Xumi, which destroyed the ancient desert civilization. It was finally driven away by the self-sacrifice of the Red King and the overdraft power of the Great Merciful Tree King.
During the catastrophe of Kanria five hundred years ago.
A second contamination breaks out in forbidden knowledge.
This time, there is no Red King, only the weakened Daci Tree King struggling to support himself.
After all, the Great Merciful Tree King could not resist the erosion of forbidden knowledge and disappeared from the land of Xumi, leaving only the ignorant little Lucky Grass King.
"This pollution may have affected the World Tree."
"But fortunately, King Daci Shu still has a trace of consciousness."
"Both of you, my strength is weak, and the crisis ahead depends on you. As long as we pass through these contaminated consciousnesses and find the right direction, we can see the conscious Great Merciful Tree King."
After saying this, Nasida warned again: "Please be careful, we are all ideological here. Although we are protected by the heart of God, we still need to stay awake at all times, otherwise we may go crazy at any time. "
"Like those madmen and monsters that fell into the abyss?"
Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Nasida nodded, and then said: "But I believe you will be fine, let's go."
After explaining to Lin Feng and the soldiers, she walked at the front to lead them.
Along the way.
There are endless monsters transformed from forbidden knowledge.
It is different from the monsters that run rampant in the outside world.
These monsters transformed from forbidden knowledge can transform into various forms at will, hiding in the shadows, among the woods, and even in the cracks of stones. As long as Lin Feng and the others pass by, they will suddenly attack.
Just like Nasida herself said.
She is indeed weak.
When faced with monster attacks, she was extremely powerless, completely unworthy of her name as a Grass God.
On the contrary, the skirmishers were very active.
Maybe it's to see the records you want to see earlier.
Or perhaps it was to experiment with his newly acquired Eye of God.
In short, to deal with these monsters, Lin Feng didn't need to take action at all. The skirmishers could deal with them all by himself.
Thanks to the active cleaning up by the skirmishers, they walked out of the cave where the monsters were hovering unimpeded and saw another bizarre space.
It's even more dazzling here.
Colorful rays of light shuttle back and forth in the purple-red sky, and a completely lightless sun hangs in the sky, with only a trace of luster coming from the surrounding area.
Dead branches and broken trees are everywhere, and the density of monsters is even more alarming. At a glance, you can see all kinds of monsters inhabiting the mountains and forests.
Remove these.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a huge ship floating in the sky.
"The boat of consciousness symbolizes reason. Its course is the destination of our consciousness. Riding on it, we can more easily find the clear consciousness of the Great Ci Tree King."
"But one thing to note is that if the consciousness is out of control, it will fall into madness, so you need to find a way to control the course."
Before Lin Feng and the others could ask, Nasida had already explained all the features and functions of the ship.
Now that the purpose is clear.
Then there is nothing more to say.
This time there was no need for Nasida to lead the way, Lin Feng and the skirmishers naturally walked ahead.
Different from the monsters in the cave.
The monsters entrenched in these mountains are stronger and faster, and they also carry a red mist that can make people sink into consciousness.
Such monsters are far more violent than the previous monsters.
The skirmishers who had been able to do so with ease just now suddenly became strenuous when faced with such a large number of monsters.
It's not that he lacks strength.
But as Nasida said, the erosion of consciousness by taboo knowledge is having an impact on him.
Skirmishers do possess part of the divinity of the grass god, and their bodies created by the gods are extremely resistant to the power of the abyss.
But resistance is just resistance after all, and cannot completely immunize against taboo knowledge.
Especially now that he is just a conscious body, the body made of steel and iron is not here.
This allowed these monsters that specifically attack consciousness to gradually gain the upper hand.
"You go to the back and protect the little Lucky Grass King."
Lin Feng said something to him, and then started walking leisurely among the monsters.
This abyss blessing that I don’t know where it comes from is very useful.
These monsters covered in forbidden knowledge and filth had no impact on him at all, and he could kill a monster with just one slap.
that's all.
Under the protection of Lin Feng.
The three of them finally successfully boarded the boat of consciousness.
Nasida, who was most familiar with the boat of consciousness, walked to the bow, closed her eyes and lightly touched the rudder.
In the rumbling sound.
This boat of consciousness, which had been dormant for who knows how many years, slowly floated again.
Nacida put her hands on the rudder of the boat, still looking like she was contemplating with her eyes closed.
I didn't see any movement from her.
The boat of consciousness began to move on its own, flying towards the lightless sun, and its speed was getting faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it was faster than the fastest ship on the sea. .
"call--"
At this time, Nasida withdrew her hand, nodded to Lin Feng and the soldiers and said: "According to the current route, the boat of consciousness will take us away from here soon. I hope it can take us to find the Great Ci Tree King smoothly. .”
"Well, I hope so."
Lin Feng nodded, lying on the railing of the boat of consciousness and looking down.
The skirmisher also looked forward. Although he didn't make a sound, the expectation on his face was clear to everyone.
The space of consciousness has no concept of time.
At least that's what Lin Feng thinks.
All in all, he didn't know how much time had passed or how long he had been on the boat of consciousness.
At the beginning, he still had time to count the seconds.
But he soon gave up.
Because there are simply countless.
Here, he felt that five minutes had passed, but only a short while later, he felt that fifty minutes had passed again. Twice, he even thought that he had reached the World Tree, and the Bigfoot almost fell out of the boat of consciousness. He fell up and down. If Nasita hadn't warned him in time, he would have fallen into this world of consciousness.
This also allowed him to let go of his contempt for the conscious world.
I don’t know exactly how much time has passed.
Anyway, when the ship of consciousness actually landed, Lin Feng felt as if the ship had just set off, why did it arrive at the station so quickly.
"Can you still stay awake?"
In front of the station, Nasida turned around and asked.
"Um."
Lin Feng shook his head and responded.
The skirmishers also nodded without saying a word.
"This is the World Tree, you can get off the boat."
Hearing Nasida's words, Lin Feng and the soldiers all looked up and looked out curiously.
Eye-catching.
It is a huge tree with intricate links and crystal clear amethysts.
How big is this tree?
It was so big that where Lin Feng and the others settled, there was just a small branch.
And this branch is already bigger than the entire Xumi City.
"The World Tree contains information about all living things on Teyvat. Without such a huge body, it cannot support such a terrifying amount of data."
Nasida's voice was a little different from before, calm and steady, but also a little impatient.
I think so.
She was about to see the Great Ci Tree King whom she had been thinking about day and night. Even though she was as steady as she was, she couldn't hold back her excitement at this time.
Get off the boat and walk straight along the branches.
Different from the dirty and chaotic scenes in the outside world, the World Tree gave Lin Feng the feeling of being the purest paradise in the Teyvat continent.
Clean and pure.
Walking on the World Tree, your body and mind seem to be purified.
Lin Feng casually teased the flowers growing on the trunk of the World Tree, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart.
When was the last time you felt like this?
He doesn't remember.
But he knew that this felt good, very comfortable, exactly like in the dream.
Not long after.
A figure appeared in front of the three people in World Tree.
This is a girl who looks exactly like Nasida. Her clothes and appearance make it impossible to tell the difference between the two.
The skirmishers looked left and right in surprise, then looked at the girl's figure and said, "Is this the Great Ci Tree King?"
The girl smiled.
Her smile was very sweet and you could tell that she was very happy.
As she started to speak, a voice that was completely different from Nacida's came over: "Well, it's me. Does this look like this surprise you?"
Although she has a lolita figure, the voice of the Great Ci Tree King is very stable and mature, not at all the childlike voice of Nasida, which makes people feel close to her as soon as she hears it.
While talking.
The Great Merciful Tree King slowly walked towards the three of them, looked at Nasida gently and said: "This place reproduces 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 have the same essence. It appears exactly the same."
"Why are they essentially the same?" Nasida was a little confused.
"Because you are me, and I am you." King Daci Shu chuckled: "You are my reincarnation."
"As the Great Merciful Tree King, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branches on the World Tree. Just like, even if the tree dies, the branches will one day take root and grow up, continuing in another way. The life of the trees.”
"The me in front of you is just a trace of my consciousness as the Great Ci Tree King. The real me has been dead for a long time, right?"
"Judging from your current appearance, I have probably been dead for about five hundred years."
"You are finally here, me after reincarnation."
The voice of King Daci Shu was gentle and calm, without the slightest hint of regret that he had been dead for many years.
The skirmishers looked surprised at the relationship between the Great Cishu King and Nasida, but Lin Feng, who had known about this relationship for a long time, was not surprised. Instead, he looked at the Great Cishu King with interest.
Next.
King Daci Shu and Nasida talked a lot more.
From Nacida's understanding of knowledge, to the confiding of each other's thoughts, to the truth about the creation of Nacida by King Daci Shu five hundred years ago.
Lin Feng and Xian Bing just listened quietly to the sidelines as this pair of gods, who could be called reincarnations or mother and daughter, told each other's stories.
Lin Feng could see that the soldiers' eyes were full of envy.
Also the son of a god, Nacida's 'mother' was so gentle, but his mother abandoned him in the Pavilion of Borrowing Views when he was born, single-handedly causing his own tragic life.
Although he no longer resents Lei Qianqiu, he still can't help but feel envious when he sees the Great Ci Tree King and Nasida.
"My child, it was you who sent Buyer to me. I should be grateful to you."
At this time, King Daci Shu, who was talking to Nasida, walked up to Lin Feng and smiled tenderly at him.
The figure of Daci Shuwang, who had shrunk to the size of a girl, could only reach Lin Feng's waist, but even so, Lin Feng still saw motherly tenderness in her eyes.
He meant to say that this was just a transaction.
But for some reason, Lin Feng naturally squatted down, keeping his eyes level with the Great Ci Tree King and said, "All this is what I should do."
"Kid, thank you for what you have done for Buyer."
The Daci Tree King gently stroked his chest and gave Lin Feng a shallow salute with Sumeru etiquette. Then she said: "My child, your heart tells me that you are very confused now. I don't know if you are willing to let me do it for you." How about solving the confusion?”
Confused?
Solve the confusion?
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment.
Is there any?
He asked himself.
have.
really have.
"As expected of the God of Wisdom."
Lin Feng sighed with emotion, then chuckled and said: "Since you are willing to help me, what reason do I have to disagree? Thank you, King Daci Shu."
It is different from other gods that Lin Feng knows.
The Great Merciful Tree King is a gentle and kind deity who devotes everything she has to Sumeru without hesitation.
If other gods approached him to make deals, Lin Feng would definitely think that they had other agendas.
But this is the Great Merciful Tree King, and Lin Feng is willing to believe her.
Hearing Lin Feng's answer, the Great Ci Tree King smiled, stretched out a finger and tapped Lin Feng's forehead: "Let me bless you for the last time in the name of Buyer, the God of Wisdom. My child, I wish you the best tonight. , enjoy sweet dreams.”
