"Ah, that's not actually why I came here..."
"Never mind... Can I take something from the World Tree?"
Seeing 'Fukaros' point at the World Tree, the Great Tree King first frowned, then shook his head:
"Take something? What kind of record do you want?...Fine, take whatever you want."
As the consciousness of the World Tree, she was all too aware that besides knowledge and those ley line memories, there was nothing of value in her body.
Logically speaking, it's definitely not something outsiders should be allowed to take casually. After all, the World Tree has its taboos, and it would be very dangerous if some of its knowledge were misused. However, when he thought about the mess that Egolia left for Fukalos, the Tree King felt relieved.
The prophecy of Sky Island can't be changed, but if we can find some useful knowledge in the World Tree, it might be able to help the people of Fontaine survive the floods as much as possible.
As one of the most benevolent among the demon gods, the Great Compassionate Tree King felt that this must be a good thing.
Moreover, Fucarus is the goddess of justice, and she trusts Egolia's judgment of people, and also believes that Fucarus definitely knows what is important and wouldn't take anything recklessly.
Since I'll be sending it soon, and the World Tree will have a gap period while I'm clearing myself out, I might as well just turn a blind eye.
However, upon hearing this, 'Fukaros'—Jiang Qiao—saw her eyes light up and asked in a subtle tone:
"Can I really just take whatever I want?"
"Yeah, whatever you want."
"Really?"
"Really." The Great Tree King was somewhat weary. Was the successor chosen by Egolia really that suspicious?
However, she then remembered something—outsiders shouldn't be able to obtain wisdom from the World Tree. Only the World Tree's consciousness and the Little Lucky Grass King, who is a branch of the World Tree, can do it. Even if Fukaros were to try to get it, it wouldn't be of any use!
But before she could call out to the other person, 'Fukaros' had already excitedly run towards the World Tree.
"..."
Never mind... Let's wait until Buyer deletes his own save file before asking him to help this impulsive god of justice find the information he needs.
Thinking that the most urgent task was to get rid of this scourge of a tree, the Great Tree King looked at Buyer, and then—an inexplicable awkwardness swirled between the two of them.
It was supposed to be a very emotional farewell, but it was interrupted halfway through the CG. Does anyone understand what was going on?
“That’s how it is, Bouyer. You should know how serious this is.”
"From now on, I entrust Sumeru to you. I believe you will become a god even more outstanding than me." Taking a deep breath, the Great Tree King, with a 100% plagiarism rate with Naxida, grasped Naxida's hand and solemnly spoke:
"For Mount Meru, and for all living beings on Teyvat."
"Please let the world forget me."
Next, the self-destruction process will be initiated—as the Great Tree King had envisioned, once the handover is completed, the power that originally belonged to the 'Grass God' will be completely transferred to Nasita, so that the latter will not be so weak as to be 'impersonating the Grass God'.
And they themselves will disappear from the world completely, carrying with them forbidden knowledge.
but....
The Great Tree King's brow twitched, but his gentle, youthful face twisted into a grimace.
For some reason, ever since then, I've had this strange, repulsive feeling that's like 'someone is touching my body'... no, it's like 'someone is reaching inside my body and groping me'.
There's also a faint sense of crisis...
Miss Tree King was very puzzled by this.
This is the World Tree, why are you feeling threatened?
I've been stuck in this mess for ages, okay?
and many more....
Suddenly remembering something, the Great Tree King abruptly turned her head towards the direction of the World Tree. When she led Narcida to a more inland area, she immediately spotted 'Fukaros' reaching out from the trunk of the World Tree and groping for something.
The World Tree stores knowledge and memories, so what is this guy touching?
Seeing Jiang Qiao's bewildered behavior, the Great Compassion Tree King's expression became somewhat strained—No, what you're doing isn't knowledge, it's the heartwood of the tree!
For the Tree King, whose true form is the World Tree, this feeling was like her body being recklessly 'penetrated'.
No, it's clearly being penetrated!
"you...."
The Great Compassion Tree King was somewhat annoyed and impatient with Jiang, who was suspected of damaging the trees, and was about to lecture him, but the next moment he sensed something, subconsciously opened his mouth slightly, and groaned:
"Well--!"
Her tender little face was flushed red, as if it could drip blood, and her consciousness was somewhat hazy, as if she were floating.
At this moment, the Great Compassion Tree King finally realized what was wrong with that feeling, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
How can this be? !
...The memories and residual consciousness belonging to the Great Tree King within the World Tree...
...'I'...
Caught?!
Chapter 275...The taste is a bit astringent.
"...How is this possible?!"
The tree king seemed somewhat dazed.
The idea that the memories and consciousness of the Great Tree King could be captured is theoretically impossible—especially now that the Great Tree King is dead, leaving only remnants of its consciousness.
Because the Great Compassion Tree King is the manifestation of the World Tree's will, to put it simply, the tree beneath their feet is the Great Compassion Tree King in its true form.
This close connection makes it impossible for her to be 'stripped' or 'separated'. If one wants to eradicate the Great Compassion Tree King, who is poisoning the 'World Tree', only the reincarnation of the Great Compassion Tree King and the manager of another World Tree, Nasita, has enough authority and ability to delete the existence of the Great Compassion Tree King by 'erasing'.
However, at this moment, the Tree King could clearly feel that the World Tree, which was its true form, was being gathered and separated from the memories and remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King by an external force. Finally... the Great Compassion Tree King felt as if it had been hijacked by something.
"Well....."
A childish groan rang out from the side, a sound exactly like that of the Great Tree King—undoubtedly, the source of the sound was Nasita.
Just like the Tree King, the badminton player was also biting her lip tightly, her cheeks flushed red as if bleeding.
"What... happened?"
"...She's manipulating the very essence of the World Tree." Although somewhat surprised, the Great Tree King suppressed the strange feeling and immediately understood what 'Funina' was doing—because Nasita and she were of the same origin, branches of the World Tree. When the Great Tree King, who was the World Tree, was being manipulated, due to their close connection, even Nasita, who should have been separated from the World Tree, suffered as a result.
Of course, to put it more simply—the two badminton ladies are currently in a state of 'empathy'.
"How could Agoria's heir do such a thing...."
Although the strange feeling was somewhat unbearable for the Tree King, the strong spirit brought by her rich experience prevented her from sitting like a duck on the spot like Narcida. She frowned slightly and looked at the 'Fukalos' who was 'busy' not far away with some disbelief.
Even a living Great Tree King cannot detach its consciousness from the World Tree.
She was also certain that Ergolia absolutely did not possess such means.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have met such a tragic end when dealing with the Black Mud that ravaged the Black Abyss.
...Hmm! ...No, we can't let her continue like this!
Subconsciously opening its mouth slightly, the Great Tree King, feeling the inexplicable impact, desperately wanted to understand what was happening, but under wave after wave of impact, it realized that it had to stop Fukaros's 'reckless' behavior as soon as possible.
Otherwise, who knows what terrible thing might have happened.
"Fukaros, stop—!"
"Done!"
As the Tree King suppressed his urge to stop Jiang Qiao's behavior with words, 'Fukaros' first withdrew his hand from the World Tree, and in his smooth palm, a somewhat cute illusory little tree was faintly visible.
The moment the sapling was pulled out, the Great Compassion Tree King, who had been enduring so much, seemed to have reached the end of its patience and cried out:
"Alas--!"
Just like Nasita, Miss Badminton also adopted the duck-sitting posture.
At this moment, Miss Tree King's face turned ashen, as if she had lost something important.
"Ok?"
Noticing the commotion, 'Fukaros' turned around and looked at the badminton sisters sitting like ducks, one in front of the other, with a somewhat strange expression.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you sitting on the ground?"
Undoubtedly, this statement directly provoked the outrage of the two badminton ladies.
They glared angrily at the culprit who had embarrassed them and made them look so 'disheveled', gritting their teeth as if they wanted to bite it right then and there—but unfortunately, neither Nasita nor the Tree King could do anything but glare at it with angry eyes to show their silent rage.
However, the Great Compassion Tree King, whose blush quickly dissipated and returned to normal, immediately noticed the 'illusory sapling' in Jiang Qiao's hand. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise:
"You...you pulled me out?"
There was absolutely no way he could be mistaken—as the remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King, the Tree King could clearly sense the essence of that small tree.
That is the [Great Compassion Tree King]. Not only does it possess all the memories of the Great Compassion Tree King, but in fact, the Tree King that appears as Naxida is just an external manifestation for easy communication. Her true form is the tree that Jiang Qiao is holding now.
"Hmm~ Isn't it cute? I went through a lot of trouble to get this thing out of the World Tree." 'Fukaros' smiled as she held the sapling, showing it off as if she were showing it off.
It took a lot of effort to get this thing out of the World Tree... Upon hearing this, the Great Tree King was a little flustered, its cute, emerald green eyes widening slightly, unsure of what to say for a moment.
