What's so cute about a tree...? No, wait, Ergolia, as the heir, actually has pretty good taste.
The Great Tree King initially felt conflicted about receiving such a comment about his 'body,' but his feelings became even more complicated after realizing that it was his own body.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked quite seriously:
"How...did you do that?"
"How do you suggest we take it out?"
"It's very simple."
"First, find out what you need, then 'cut' it from the whole and use a new carrier as its main body."
"Well... although it's not that difficult to do in practice, it's actually quite troublesome."
"Speaking of which, haven't you done something similar before?"
'Fukaros' gently stroked the sapling in her hand, trying to describe it with gestures, and then pointed to Nasita, who had come to her senses.
"This is completely different..."
The Tree King twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat displeased.
Indeed, Nasita is her reincarnation, or rather, she is herself.
After all, she herself was the consciousness of the World Tree, and Nasita, as a new branch of the World Tree, could be said to have the same origin.
What Jiang Qiao did, although theoretically it seemed to be without any problems, was completely different from how she created Naxida.
"And... could you please stop touching me!"
The good-natured Great Tree King, now soaring into the sky, puffed out his cheeks and glared angrily at 'Fukaros'. However, due to the height difference, even though [Funina] was also short, she still had to look up to see her.
She really didn't want to be angry, but this guy... touching my body in front of me is too much! As someone who can feel the strange touches on the corresponding parts of her body, Miss Tree King obviously couldn't stand by and watch Jiang 'play' with her body.
"Hmm... could it be that..."
But looking at the adorable tree king with its rosy cheeks, 'Fukaros' paused for a moment, then glanced at the sapling with some surprise, before revealing a 'mischievous' expression.
I'll tap it~
"Hey~ Don't touch there!"
“It’s so itchy…”
"No...not there..." Whenever that slender index finger touched or rubbed the corresponding area, the Great Tree King would bite his lip and struggle, covering the corresponding part.
'Fukaros', on the other hand, seemed to have found a fun toy and used it to tease the former—of course, Narcida also suffered as a result.
Why must I, the Little Lucky Grass King, suffer along with the Great Tree King when he was pranked?
"...Playing pranks on the gods, I'll punish you!" The Tree King, who had been 'played with' and put into inflatable mode, finally couldn't take it anymore. Her little face, flushed red, was filled with the word 'anger'. Then she rushed towards 'Fukaros'.
We must get our bodies back!
Unfortunately, the operation ended in failure.
The badminton player was pinned down by 'Fukaros'—Jiang Qiao—unable to move an inch. He smiled and said, "Not yet~"
As you can see, the vibrant saplings are tinged with an ominous dark red.
That is the complete opposite of vitality.
"It's forbidden knowledge...!" The Great Tree King instantly recognized what the unusual color on his body was.
"You peeled it off the World Tree?!"
"Of course, after all, it is also part of the [Great Compassion Tree King]."
"Besides, leaving this thing in the World Tree is probably not something you want to see, is it?"
The Great Compassion Tree King remained silent for a moment, then said sincerely:
"Although it's infuriating that you're playing with my body, thank you..."
If it remains within the World Tree, then the only way for her to save the World Tree is by 'destroying the Great Tree King'.
This price is too heavy, and the world may even forget the Great Tree King.
To be honest, this was a very difficult decision for the Great Tree King.
She didn't care whether her past achievements would change her master. In fact, the Tree King thought it might be a good thing, because her efforts could help others achieve their goals.
But wouldn't it be really lonely if a person didn't remember themselves?
But given the current situation...
The Great Compassion Tree King smiled, and then solemnly requested:
"For the sake of the world, please destroy it."
Forbidden knowledge is 'poison' to Teyvat. Even though it has separated from the 'World Tree', as the former goddess of wisdom, she must prevent this 'poison' from spreading across Teyvat, as it would only bring disaster to people.
Therefore, even if the price was the destruction of his own body and himself, the Great Compassion Tree King did not hesitate for a moment.
Naxi Da shook her head violently:
"No...we can't do this...we can find other ways. Since it has already broken away from the World Tree, I'm sure I can find another way to help you get rid of forbidden knowledge."
"...This is the best course of action. There is no need to grieve for me. Even though I am gone, your existence as my continuation represents my rebirth."
"I am not yet a mature god, and the Sumeru people need the Great Tree King even more! Even if I become a more outstanding god than you in the future, for now... I still hope that you can teach me..."
The two badminton shuttlecocks continued their argument.
"Um, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"
"Eh?...Alright, let the God of Justice of Fontaine make the choice!" Nasita paused for a moment, then thought of a suitable method and made a suggestion.
Without a doubt, the judgment made by the god of justice is the most just—probably.
She knew that she would be hard to persuade the Great Tree King because of his personality, but if another god made the decision, especially the god who had saved him, the Great Tree King would certainly not have any objections.
Of course, Nasita was somewhat worried that 'Fukaros' would side with the Great Tree King.
However, recalling the other party's previous behavior, she still had some idea of what was going on, especially—
"Fukaros, please make the fairest judgment. I believe in the judgment of the God of Justice... um..." Narcida said, leaning against Jiang Qiao, holding her hand with a sincere expression—"As long as you help me save the Tree King's stubborn temper, I'll let you pet me all the time..."
The Great Tree King raised an eyebrow at the sight... They actually used such despicable means?!
...Although it's a little embarrassing, I'll do it for the greater good!
Thinking that since her body was already in the hands of Egolia's heir and had been touched all over, the Tree King, being an older single woman, had nothing to be reserved about and started playing badminton like Miss.
Of course, she couldn't make any promise to keep rubbing it forever, since if she really planted that tree, she would have sent it herself.
However, the Tree King, possessing extraordinary wisdom, quickly came up with an idea—wasn't Nasita her reincarnation? Then we're one person! Since the heir is so irresponsible, then don't blame your sister for sacrificing a little! This is also for the sake of the people of Sumeru!
"Fukaros, please take good care of Narcida after I leave."
Translation: Nasita, I'm giving it to you as collateral! Do I even need to think about what to choose?
Nasita's eyes widened in disbelief and anger.
What the hell?
I sacrificed my body to save the god next door to save you, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you even sold me out, right? You're really going too far!
Fine, fine, you've mortgaged me, so don't blame me! Like father, like son! You started it!
The two badminton ladies grabbed 'Fukalos's' sleeves one on each side and began the humiliating 'Summit Selling God Treaty'.
It's hard to imagine that one of the two people present is the previous God of Wisdom of Sumeru, and the other is the current God of Wisdom.
They might look more like children arguing over something trivial.
Mr. Jiang felt somewhat regretful about this.
Miss Badminton has always had a childlike heart.
As for the Great Compassion Tree King, she shouldn't have such a childlike nature; she should have a childlike appearance but a mature and sophisticated heart.
However, due to the division, although the process was very thorough, gathering the main body into the newly grown saplings still had some impact on the Tree King's mind, making her temperament the same as her appearance.
Being held by the hands of two badminton ladies is usually a fun thing, but when it comes to being a referee, Jiang Qiao directly experienced how difficult it is to assign a sense of urgency to the three goddesses in Greek mythology.
But that's okay too.
Because Mr. Jiang Qiao had a better solution to their dispute—
"I have a good way to solve the problem between the two of you."
"What method?" Nasita and the Tree King asked in unison.
They stared at each other, both wearing angry expressions.
Why is the Tree King so stubborn?
—Why is Grass King such an insensible child?
They should have been a very harmonious couple, but they turned into a quarreling mother and daughter over the issue of "wanting to die and not wanting you to die".
They were, of course, very interested in the so-called solutions.
After all, the god of wisdom should use more understanding methods to solve problems, rather than arguing like elementary school girls.
This isn't some kind of deity; it's clearly a kindergarten!
