Just as a century-old tree will decay and die, what matters is not the survival of a single tree, but the new shoots that sprout from the seeds that have been spread.
The tree called 'Great Compassion Tree King' has grown too big and too large in Sumeru.
It has even affected the nutrient absorption of other seedlings.
How could she just stand by and watch this happen?
Glory should not be attributed to the King of Trees.
Of course, that should not be attributed to the Grass King, or even to any specific deity.
It should belong to the people who live on this land.
—In the original development, she gave all the glory to the seedling, and the seedling was thus able to grow strong.
Although he himself had not died, if he hindered the healthy growth of the seedlings, the Great Tree King would rather have died.
“The forbidden knowledge within me needs time to be cleared away, so there’s no need to persuade me anymore, Bouyer.”
"I'm entrusting the rest of Sumeru to you."
"I don't worry about your work."
“…”
Naxida fell silent, somewhat reluctant to part.
Although she also wanted to persuade her to stay, as the goddess of wisdom, she understood that this was the best choice.
Whether for himself, for the people of Mount Sumeru, or for the Great Compassionate Tree King himself.
"Please take good care of her."
Just like cleaning the toilet or handing over a girlfriend... or perhaps a mother handing her over to a blond-haired man, the badminton shuttlecock looked at 'Funingna' with great sincerity.
"There's no need for that. I'm a god, after all..."
"Besides, you don't need to worry so much, Bouyer. After all, I've just gone to another country, it's not like we'll never see each other again."
“After all, Sumeru is my home. I will come back to visit when I have time. When that time comes, I hope to see an outstanding god who is far superior to me.”
Watching the two grass gods bid farewell, 'Furina' smiled and comforted them:
"There's no need to dwell on the past, for you will eventually surpass it... Speaking of which, Sumeru isn't far from Fontaine. If you wish, Fontaine would welcome foreign gods as guests."
"I certainly will."
As she said this, the badminton player's feelings were complicated.
Nasida was happy to be alive, but as soon as she was alive, she was kidnapped by someone else, which was indeed a big blow to her.
She could only silently bite her lip, thinking that she had to quickly become an outstanding god and then welcome back the Great Tree King!
"You actually managed to dig it up successfully."
On the way out of the Pure Goodness Palace and out of Sumeru, Fukalos's voice, which was half surprised and half dissatisfied, echoed in my mind.
In response, 'Funingna'—Jiang Qiao—shrugged:
"I didn't do anything!"
They're talking about poaching people.
Well, he did want to pick a tree and plant it in Fontainebleau, but Jiang Qiao didn't use any words to entice the Great Tree King.
It was all simply a decision made by the Great Compassion Tree King himself after he realized Jiang Qiao's thoughts.
Saying that you can clear away forbidden knowledge is nonsense. For Jiang Qiao, clearing away such things is quite simple.
Whether it was for the sake of Sumeru or Nasita, or for this man's desire to connect Sumeru and Fontaine through 'her', all of these factors led Miss Tree King to make the most appropriate choice.
Because both the Tree King and Nasita are essentially World Trees, they are connected in a certain sense.
With this attribute, as long as the 'Great Compassion Tree King' can be planted in Fontaine, and with Egolia, the mistress of the Fetal Sea, coordinating the water veins, it will be possible to make these two neighboring countries inseparable.
Indeed, in the face of the war that Zhi Dong's group is about to start, Fontaine and Sumeru, two of the weaker nations among the seven kingdoms, can minimize the losses caused by the war.
Unfortunately, apart from Inazuma, which is isolated overseas, Sumeru and Fontaine are the weakest among the seven kingdoms. Fontaine has to rely on clockwork mechanisms because of its lack of manpower. But in terms of technology, Winter is far superior to Fontaine in both technology and scale.
As for Sumeru, although he looks very big, due to the fact that the people in the Order of the Instruction valued literature over martial arts, he has many research achievements, but his combat strength is not outstanding.
In military matters, they actually need to rely on mercenary groups, and these mercenary groups are still fragmented and fight independently. In peacetime, it's fine, but once war breaks out, those who know, know.
Both Sumeru and Fontaine must prepare for the upcoming 'War of Burial Fire'.
As Jiang Qiao finished her preparations for leaving Sumeru, a beautiful, fairy-like girl with pink hair gazed at the towering rainforest so close to Liyue on the border between Liyue and Sumeru, and sighed:
"Hmm, so this is the Sumeru Rainforest that Hu Tao mentioned? It really is completely different from the ones I've seen when I traveled around the world before."
Of course, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is——
Hmph, didn't expect that, did you, you wicked Jiang Qiao! A beautiful young woman is about to launch a surprise attack!
Ps:
"You will die as a villain amidst the scorn of the crowd."
"Really? You need to sign a written agreement!"
...
Having witnessed the cruelty of the world, and having died a grueling office worker in his previous life, Kiyono Akira, wielding the strongest villain system, feels he has a great future after transmigrating—
"Xiangzi! Where's the money for today's drinks? Give it to me! I also want to... play marbles!"
"You scumbag father...!"
Shoko Toyokawa, a fallen noblewoman, gritted her teeth in anger.
...
"So you're called Shrimp and Celery... Oh, Celery!"
“Woo…!”
The high school dropout rock girl stared wide-eyed and raised her pinkies with both hands.
...
"You don't want An Yi to be bullied, do you?"
"Gulp...! You scum...!"
The famous shoujo novelist, Kasumigaoka Utaha, endured humiliation and hardship.
...
The more hatred one is accumulating, the greater the power that transcends the heavens. Kiyono Akira, waking from his dream, was still savoring the beauty of being hated—
"I really want to be a villain..."
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Shiina Mashiro and Wakaba Mutsu laughed out loud.
Chapter 278 I'm coming in!
Although I can't just abandon my work, as long as I exceed the target and resolve all the tasks and objectives in a short time, then even if I need to take leave, Mei and the others certainly can't say anything.
During this specially granted holiday, Miss Alicia did not hesitate to choose to visit the scenery of another world.
After all, she had always been thinking about that world called Teyvat.
The fairy Ellie described it so well, wouldn't it be a great pity if I couldn't see it for myself?
However—after having these wild ideas, Alicia did not tell Jiang Qiao or even the fairy Alicia about her arrival in Teyvat. In fact, to avoid attracting attention by 'entering the world,' she did not go to Jiang Qiao or Frynn, but instead chose to go to Kurumi in Liyue.
In this way, she could come to this world without Jiang Qiao's knowledge, and then... Alicia had already decided that she would conduct a 'surprise inspection'! Both to see if that fairy Ali had fulfilled her duties, and also to—startle someone!
Haha, didn't expect that, did you? You naughty Jiang Qiao! I, Ai Li, have appeared right in front of you!
This elusive and unexpected 'attack' method undoubtedly aligns perfectly with Alicia's own fairy-like aesthetics.
"The scenery is completely different from Liyue... Hmm, after I find that scoundrel Jiang Qiao, I'll still have to go to Hu Tao's place~" Alicia rested her chin on her hand, standing on the hillside gazing at the Sumeru Rainforest so close at hand, and the Liyue territory behind her, thinking to herself.
Liyue is undoubtedly a wonderful place. It's a rare sight for her, and if it were any other time, she would definitely want to explore and see all the beauty of Liyue.
A journey alone can be a bit lonely.
As a child, she was fine, but now that she has grown into a beautiful young woman, Alicia hopes to add another figure to her travels.
A sweet and wonderful trip together as a couple sounds really romantic, doesn't it?
"Such fragrant flowers~ Strange fruits..."
Ellie was captivated by everything in the rainforest. She had never seen anything like it before, and at this moment she had the illusion that she couldn't take it all in with her eyes.
Wandering through the rainforest, we headed towards the Sumeru City that we had obtained from Walnut.
Although some uncooperative Honkai Beasts did cause trouble for Alicia, their threat was negligible compared to the Honkai Beasts that were often two stories tall.
However, because many of them were very cute, Alicia did not choose to kill them, but simply scared these little cuties away with arrows.
