She originally thought that she could endure that kind of pain. After all, she had been tormented by forbidden knowledge for so many years and this was all she could endure. What was the Dragon King, who had fought in the north and south, afraid of pain?

As a result, Apep, as an elemental god, directly experienced a pain that was 'soul-wracking'—the forbidden knowledge was cut directly from his soul.

This simple and brutal method, besides being very painful and having significant side effects, is mainly about speed.

Of course, as fast as it was, Appepp was also quite exhausted.

I have a 'premonition' that if this continues, I might not be able to hold back and just burst out.

Although following the original path might not be very prestigious, at least it's comfortable.

Miss Caolong, from the heart, once again enjoyed Mr. Jiang Qiao's massage service.

Moments later, the burgeoning grass elemental transformed this territory, which should have been covered in yellow sand, into a green oasis.

Apep stretched comfortably and stared in amazement at the enormous 'Great Tree King' in front of him.

She glanced at herself, then at her surroundings, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no... I think I accidentally spat out all my elemental power.

Feeling the pitiful remaining elemental dragons, Apep, whose form had changed from a dragon to a snake, was filled with grief and indignation.

But...it feels so good, I want to keep spraying...

Miss Grass Dragon, swishing her tail, savored the pleasurable sensation and, almost inexplicably, wanted to continue. Unfortunately, her body had already shrunk considerably from spraying so much, and there wasn't a single drop left...

"Wow, you've become so cute, Apep."

The girl with long white hair poked Apep's miniature dragon head with her fingertips and uttered a sentiment that filled the latter with grief and indignation.

The grass dragon, whose temper was not good to begin with, immediately wanted to whip her tail at the hateful person in front of her, but after hesitating for a moment, she gave up.

After all, the other party had just helped him. Although he had embarrassed himself, it was because he couldn't control himself. He couldn't blame the Tree King for saving him, could he?

A fragment appeared in the hand of the 'Great Compassion Tree King', and gazing at its crimson radiance, it couldn't help but marvel:

"But you digested it really cleanly~ There wasn't a single bit left."

"It's a fragment of Ahmar's demon god?!" The Tree King couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it.

In the very beginning of Teyvat, there were no demons.

Until Phanes arrived, because of the War of the Dead, the 'fragments' scattered from that war fell to all sides of Teyvat.

These are actually the origin of most demon gods, and the powers they possess are basically derived from these things.

For example, the 'Righteous Authority' of Egolia and Fucarus, and the 'Wisdom Authority' of the Great Tree King and the Little Lucky Grass King.

Essentially, they are all bestowed by fragments of demon gods.

From the fragment in Jiang Qiao's hand, she sensed the presence of her old friend, Ahmar.

But the Tree King, who was connected to Jiang Qiao, also understood that Ahmar was truly dead.

Unlike himself and Ergolia, who could still fight in the resurrection match with their remaining consciousness, the Red King had nothing left except this fragment of the Demon God.

After all, Nabu Marikata and Ahma'er are both incredibly good at creating drama...

"What kind of divine authority is contained within this?" Fukalos stared at the fragment of the demon god with curiosity and a touch of excitement.

A fragment of a demon god that its owner has completely sent away—this is a rare find.

If it were usable, I would gain an extra authority.

Although she wasn't particularly interested in combat power, she hoped that if Fontaine faced a crisis in the future, she could be stronger so that he wouldn't have to fight alone.

"Akhmar's divine power is the yellow sand, which has the effect of breaking things down, weathering and eroding them."

The Great Compassion Tree King recalled the details of that old friend.

Although it may sound ordinary, in terms of real-time combat power, Ahmar was arguably the most powerful demon in the Sumeru region back then.

If it weren't for the alliance, she wouldn't know how to deal with this guy.

"You actually took it out?" Apep also noticed the situation and was somewhat surprised, then shook his head: "Never mind, since it's out, I'll give it to you."

In fact, the massive sandstorm in this area was created by her using this fragment of the Yellow Sand Demon God from Ahmar, but due to the forbidden knowledge, she has not been able to digest it for so many years.

Now that it has been taken out, although she has lost one authority, Apep doesn't really care. After all, as the Grass Dragon, she doesn't really like this authority, especially since this fragment of the Demon God belongs to that usurper. As a persecuted elemental dragon, the Grass Dragon has always felt quite disgusted by it.

With the loss of the influence of the Yellow Sands' authority, coupled with Apep's 'generous' contribution of the entire elemental dragon's worth of 'grass elemental' power, this once barren land covered in yellow sand was suddenly reborn, giving birth to an oasis.

The highly adaptable grass dragon also changed color, transforming from earthy yellow to a vibrant emerald green.

"Indeed, I still prefer this color."

Upon noticing this change, Apep remarked with a sigh, instantly forgetting his earlier anxieties about using too much elemental power.

Grass represents vitality, while yellow sand is full of desolation.

As a grass dragon, she actually quite dislikes this dry and barren environment.

However, she disdained to go to the rainforest of Sumeru, since it was the territory of the Seven Gods.

Add to that the taboo knowledge, and they managed to make do with living there after a while.

As for elemental power, you can accumulate that eventually.

"Indeed, I prefer your green color to your yellow one~"

"How about we go take a trip to Fontainebleau?"

"Huh? Why go there?" Appepp asked, somewhat surprised.

"The throne of the Water God seems to have collapsed. Don't you want to go and see the newborn Water Dragon King of Fontaine?"

"...?! No wonder I felt the water veins in Teyvat were more active than before, I see." Miss Grass Dragon nodded in surprise.

Grass and water have always been the two closest elements, after all, both symbolize life. As the dragon king of the grass element, although the power of the ancient dragons is not complete, Apep can still sense the changes in Teyvat.

However, unlike the Seven Gods, because she was not part of that system, and because she was tormented by forbidden knowledge, she did not discover this.

“An elemental dragon that has gained full ancient dragon authority... Interesting, but…” As the only remaining ancient dragon king, Apep was naturally quite happy about her kind becoming a complete dragon. After all, according to the ancient covenant, they were on the same side, not to mention that she had a good relationship with the water elemental dragon king in the past. However, she also had her own concerns and dissatisfaction.

According to prophecy, this generation's Water Dragon King will be born in human form, and the incredibly proud Apep is clearly not satisfied with this situation.

"Never mind then. I was originally planning to give Vilette a surprise."

As the water curtain receded, the 'Great Tree King'—no, the blue-and-white-haired girl who had reverted to 'Funina' at this moment—sighed and shook her head regretfully.

"?!"

"you..."

"The usurper of Fontaine!?"

"Ah, I'm sorry~ It would probably be difficult to communicate with you if I used this body in its original form, so I used the form of the Great Tree King~ But don't be angry, the Tree King doesn't seem to mind~"

Seeing the Grass Dragon's somewhat shocked and angry expression, 'Funina' waved her hand. The Tree King was helpless. Could I possibly have any objections?

Since it's already been eaten, you can't exactly say you're going to spit out the skin, can you?

However, Miss Tree King was somewhat disappointed that her body had returned to its original state.

Although she was not quite the same as Fukalos, she could still sense the body's movements after being 'eaten'.

Compared to the former's somewhat 'wounded' low-vision state, the Great Tree King definitely prefers her 'Great Tree King Form,' even if it's just a water-shaped mimicry, it still gives her the feeling of returning to the past.

"Alright, I've completed the Tree King's request. Since you don't want to go to Fontaine, I'll be leaving now."

"Wait a minute——"

"...You don't actually want to start a fight, do you?"

"..." Appepp didn't speak, but stared straight at Jiang Qiao—her tiny figure looked quite 'comical'.

She wanted to beat up the usurper who had deceived her, but the current conditions didn't allow it.

I'm so exhausted from spitting it out!

Wait... could this also be part of that despicable usurper's plan?! Damn it... I'll remember this grudge!

"Okay, what do you want to say?"

What's the deal with the Throne of the Water God?

"Oh, you're asking about that? As you can see, it's gone."

That's not what I asked!

"Let me guess, you're not thinking of asking why the Water God's Throne is gone, and then going to do the same to the Grass God's Throne, are you?"

Apep was somewhat annoyed. "That was taken from us by that damned usurper. I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine."

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed, because I destroyed the throne of the water god myself."

"The current Grass God probably can't do this kind of thing anymore."

"...Smash it? You...?"

"Anyway, that thing is useless to me~ So what if I smash it? Vilette has done so much for me over the years, what's wrong with rewarding her with the Throne of the Water God?"

This statement left Appepp somewhat speechless.

To reclaim her power over the ancient dragons, she schemed and plotted, even venturing into forbidden knowledge, nearly losing her life in the process. And then... just to reward someone, she smashed the Water God's Throne? And returned the power of the ancient dragons to her?

Miss Caolong felt as if her entire worldview had been shattered.
