Chapter 307 Should Not Be Forgotten
Chapter 307 Should Not Be Forgotten
"If any disaster really happens in Xumi, you, as the gods of Xumi, should solve it yourselves!" Mo Ran took a step and walked to their side.
"Is that so? This is an expected answer. Then, Buyel, it's time to say goodbye and erase yourself from my World Tree." The Great Compassionate Tree King whispered, feeling the warmth in her arms. She was already very satisfied and did not dare to have any other extravagant requests.
"It may not be necessary this way." Mo Ran said, walking to the World Tree, placing his hand on it, sensing the filth within it.
Seeing this, the Great Compassion Tree King showed a look of surprise for the first time, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop it now, the memories contained in the World Tree are too huge for human beings to handle. If you are not careful, your own memories will be overwritten, and you will become a muddle-headed body from now on!"
"Really?" Mo Ran chuckled and continued, "For someone who cherishes life like me, nothing will happen to me. People like you, the Great Compassion Tree King, who risked your life for the sake of your country and the world, should not be forgotten!"
"I will try to purify all the forbidden knowledge in the World Tree, but I will not harm the consciousness of the Great Compassionate Tree King. If I succeed, everyone will be happy. If not, please send me to Liyue."
"Please don't take the risk, it's not worth it!" The Great Compassion Tree King advised, "Sir, stop now!"
"gentlemen..."
Nashida looked at the figure in black. The figure was hazy and difficult to see directly. The figure, which was already tall, was even more majestic at this moment, like a mountain protecting the big trees and saplings at the foot of the mountain. All the wind, rain, frost and snow fell on him.
Mo Ran took off his mask, revealing his ordinary face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "How can you know if you don't try!"
"There was once a demon god. When we just met, he wanted to claim to be my relative because of the essence in his body. It just so happened that I couldn't stand seeing anyone related to me die in front of me. Perhaps this is also a part of your destiny, Great Compassion Tree King!"
“Sir, but…” The Great Compassion Tree King clenched his fists, and the weak power in his body surged. He rushed towards the man in black, trying to pull him away, but the trembling of the World Tree’s memory made her unable to move at all.
Nashida's situation was not optimistic either. As a branch, she was also affected by the fluctuations of the World Tree and could hardly move. She could only watch as the gentleman fought alone.
The feeling of helplessness, powerlessness and incompetence came over her again. She had always been striving to be a good god, and it seemed that she had always been relying on the help of others. Without this help, she would still be imprisoned and unable to travel.
Looking at the Great Compassion Tree King beside her, Nashida asked, "If you fail, sir, you will no longer be the same person, right?"
Without asking about her own fate or that of the Great Compassionate Tree King, Nashida's priority was the gentleman whom she had known and had been with for only one day.
The Great Compassion Tree King frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The World Tree carries too many memories. If you get lost in it, it will be almost impossible for you to find yourself."
"As the God of Wisdom, can I, as a token, enter Sir's confused memory and help him remember himself?" Nashida's eyes sparkled. If possible, she would definitely not hesitate.
The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head and said, "There is no way. A person trapped in a huge memory can only wake up by himself. No external force can help him. All we can do is obey his request."
"Is this so..."
The memory scenes, like the sea of stars, surged into Mo Ran's mind like a torrent of waves. From the time when Teyvat was still a wasteland, the wheel of time began to slide.
While witnessing the rapid changes in the world, he also used magic to make himself forget most of the useless things, so as to prevent his memories from being assimilated into the past, causing him to lose consciousness and become a soulless body like a walking corpse.
During this process, forbidden knowledge also flowed into his body. This existence with supreme corrosive power was forever retained in the black-clothed body. After purification, it became his strength. His aura grew with it, rising little by little.
The aura, which was originally several points stronger than that of the Ruotuo Dragon King, slowly grew, step by step like leaping over a staircase, and soared into the sky.
In the outside world, great changes are also taking place in various parts of Xumi. The dead zones in the rainforest are beginning to decrease, and the people who have contracted the magic scale disease because of the dead zones are also recovering.
And that’s not all. An oasis in the desert that was severely polluted by forbidden knowledge is losing its eerie purple color, revealing its original emerald green and blue.
The guardian flower spirits around were all shocked. They couldn't understand what was going on, nor did they know which existence could have eliminated the pollution of this forbidden knowledge and restored peace to the world.
In the space of consciousness, Mo Ran is still constantly purifying. Rather than saying that he is purifying the World Tree and saving the Great Compassionate Tree King, it is better to say that he is purifying the entire Xumi and even the entire world, saving all the people tortured by the demon scale disease and their family and friends who are suffering in their hearts.
The silhouette of the Great Compassion Tree King became slightly more transparent, and the light in her eyes slowly disappeared. She, who had almost achieved a symbiotic relationship with the forbidden knowledge, had been regarded as a part of filth.
"Great Tree King, sir, you...don't do it!" Nashida raised her arms with difficulty, but it was like a mountain pressing down on her, making it very difficult to move.
Mo Ran turned around and looked at the dissipating Great Compassion Tree King. He activated the water elemental power and created a body according to the appearance in his memory. He shouted, "Great Compassion Tree King, inject all your memories and remaining consciousness into the simulated illusion! Quickly!"
"So that's how it is. Thank you very much, sir!" The Great Compassion Tree King's eyes flashed. Since others have not given up on him, how can he give up just like that?
Pressing one palm on the body of the phantom, the Great Compassion Tree King slightly closed his eyes and sent everything since his birth and his own soul into the phantom. The suction coming from the man in black disappeared as expected.
Seeing that his rear was safe, Mo Ran no longer worried, and tried his best to absorb the forbidden knowledge in the World Tree. The corrosive power of this filth was stronger than that of the Abyss Cult.
Perhaps forbidden knowledge is part of the true power of the abyss outside the domain, while the Abyss Cult only controls superficial abyss power, so there is such a gap between the two.
Not long after, Mo Ran absorbed all the forbidden knowledge in Xumi. Feeling the power in his body changing, he fell backwards.
pat!
The body hit the ground with a heavy sound. The two demons realized that their bodies could move, so they ran to the man in black to check on his condition.
Mo Ran's eyes were a little dazed, but he tried hard to keep them open. When he looked at the Great Compassionate Tree King, he absorbed the last remaining forbidden knowledge into his body. From then on, Xumi was completely purified.
Feeling the rest signal from his body, Mo Ran slowly closed his eyes and breathed evenly, just as the Great Compassion Tree King had wished before: "May you have a sweet dream tonight."
"King Dacishu, sir, are you okay now?" Nashida asked in a low voice in her ear.
The Great Compassion Tree King thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure yet. We have to wait until the master wakes up before we can make a judgment. Once you get out of the consciousness space, you take the master to a safe place and I will come forward to solve the problems of the residents."
"Ok."
……
Dreams are magical things. Maybe what you want will come true in your dreams, or maybe the things you least want to happen will appear in your dreams.
Mo Ran's dream at this moment was what he got from the World Tree. It was what he had always wanted to know, part of the truth about this world.
In ancient times, there were no humans on the continent of Teyvat, and there was nothing in the night sky except the moon. At that time, dragon lizards ruled the continent, and there was much more land than there is today.
After countless eras of development, dragon lizards were almost everywhere in the continent of Teyvat, reaching an unprecedented height. However, an earth-shaking event occurred, which led to the current structure of Teyvat.
A human arrived on an island and claimed that he would bring new life to the continent of Teyvat, but the indigenous dragon lizards naturally disagreed.
The seven unique elements on Teyvat make many dragon lizards very powerful. The best among them are the first generation of seven dragon kings.
These seven dragon kings commanded all the dragon lizards under their command to raise the banner of resistance against outsiders. This great battle caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Three moons dimmed, and two were directly destroyed. The stars exploded one after another, and as a result, a piece of land from the continent of Teyvat fell outside the world.
However, the humans who were able to cross other worlds and come to Teyvat were not weaklings who could be bullied. The four shadows he created were very powerful. They fought a draw with the seven dragon kings before his original body even took action.
The seven dragon kings knew that they would be defeated if they continued like this, so they had no choice but to obtain filthy things from outside the domain, that is, the power of the abyss outside the domain, to fight against the outsiders.
The power of the abyss at that time is the origin of the two derivatives of the Abyss Cult and Forbidden Knowledge today. The power of erosion can look down on everything in the world.
The moment the human saw the power of the abyss, he showed panic for the first time, and then he took action himself to fight the seven dragon kings. During the battle, the power of the abyss fell on the continent of Teyvat and eroded the land.
After the humans killed all seven dragon kings and drove the remaining dragon lizards to live underground, he looked at the devastated land with a different light in the corners of his eyes, as if he was crying.
In the following thousands of years, this human completely severed the connection between the four shadows and himself, and dedicated his own origin to restore most of the continent of Teyvat to its original appearance. He also used his own body to create a big sun, allowing this continent to have the rotation of sun and moon.
However, the collapsed area could never be replenished, and as time passed, the former land turned into a vast ocean with turbulent waves that was impossible to reach.
Upon learning that the mainland had regained its vitality, the other humans on the island left the island in the sky and went to the vast mainland to live a carefree life.
But whether it was due to the special characteristics of the continent or other reasons, the moment these humans set foot in Teyvat, the power they originally possessed in their bodies dissipated, and they became no different from ordinary animals, or even far inferior to animals.
The four shadows who learned of all this did not try to rescue, but instead drove the island high into the sky, and used their supreme power to make the people of the entire continent forget their origins, leaving only some simple survival instincts.
Ten thousand years after that, Teyvat owned the starry sky, and gave birth to a kind of creature called the Demon God, who was born with innate knowledge and much stronger than today's humans.
At first, the island in the sky did not pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a new species of creature. Perhaps later on, they gradually discovered that not all demons hated people. Perhaps due to their nature or their own choice, some demons actually began to protect humans.
This discovery caused the island in the sky to immediately issue a decree, requiring the demon god to lead his people in a large-scale war, in which the winner would live and the loser would die.
As for everything that happened afterwards, it was a development that was well known to the world. The seven-nation regime was established, and the demon gods of the same seven elements were just like the seven dragon kings who rebelled against the island in the sky. It was really ironic.
Any civilization that is too advanced, or any country that discovers secrets outside the world, will be punished and cursed by the island in the sky and directly destroyed.
That island seemed to be an existence that no one in the world could resist and whoever it wanted to destroy would be destroyed. However, in the near future, this island would be overthrown.
The fate of all living beings on the continent of Teyvat will be controlled by themselves...
