Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 367
At the same time, Paimon, Ying, and Nasida entered that space of consciousness.

After cleaning up a series of monsters in the consciousness space, the three of them came to the boat of consciousness. After finding the rudder, they adjusted the correct course.

After a period of flight, the three of them arrived at their destination.

When I saw the World Tree in front of me, it was so huge that it gave people a shocking feeling.

The three of them walked for a while before arriving at the top.

"This is it." Nasida said to the two of them.

"Yes, it's the same place as in memory."

Paimon felt a little unbelievable that he saw another Nasida not far away, so he was surprised by this and asked.

"We...we are here to see King Dacishu...right?"

"But standing there is..."

"I...? Exactly the same as me...you are...the Great Mercy Tree King?"

"Well...it's me. Does this look...surprise you?"

"Wonderful picture, two people almost identical." Ying said from the side.

The Daci Tree King took a few steps forward and said to everyone, "This place recreates the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, but it is still a space of consciousness after all."

"Because you and I have the same [essence], we also appear exactly the same."

"Why... are they [essentially] the same?" Nasida asked.

"Because you are me and I am you."

"You are my [reincarnation]."

After hearing about reincarnation, Nacida lowered her head and thought.

"As the Great Merciful Tree King, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branches broken off from the World Tree."

"It's just like...even if a tree dies, its branches will one day take root and grow up, continuing life in another form."

"The me in front of you is just a remnant of my consciousness as the King of the Great Mercy Tree. The real me must have been dead for a long time, right?"

"Hmm... If we judge the time based on your current appearance, I have probably been dead for about 500 years..."

"You are finally here, me after [reincarnation]."

Hearing these words, Ying did not expect that the Little Lucky Grass King and the Big Ci Tree King actually had such a relationship.

"If you put it this way, could it be that one day I will become a great god like you?"

"Although you and I have the same essence, our destiny must be different. Everything has its own destiny."

"It's like when a branch grows into a new big tree, it can't be exactly the same as the original one."

"So fate is the ultimate knowledge, right?" Nasida asked.

"It's a really good idea, I agree with it."

Having said that, King Dacishu took a few steps forward.

"Because of this, you will never be me again..."

Hearing these words, Nasida lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"yes……"

King Daci Shu could see Nasida's sadness at the moment and continued.

"But you may become a greater god than me, hehe."

"I have seen from you the will that I didn't have back then, and the future it leads to is your destiny."

"And those are also gifts from everything you have experienced in the past."

"Don't worry, the growth of wisdom is actually like vegetation, you just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom."

"I also believe that Nasida will definitely become a very great god." Ying said some words of encouragement. "Now that I think about the vision of the sages of the Order Academy, it is really hopeless..."

Hearing these words, Naxida was very happy, took a step forward, and said words of thanks to King Dacishu.

"Thank you... This is really a very happy thing. The target I have always admired is actually myself with a different destiny..."

"It's great to talk to you, King Dacishu, I've always wanted to see you..."

"Why am I not? From the moment I broke off the branches of the world tree and created you, I have been looking forward to talking to you like this."

"Can you tell me... about why I was created? And what happened when you died..."

"Well, I know, you are here to seek [the answer], right?"

"On the day that happened, even the sky turned into this color..."

Ying realized that what the Great Ci Tree King was talking about should be the original Kanreya disaster.

"At the beginning, all the seven gods except me were summoned to the country called Carria, but I had another more important task."

"That is—to protect the World Tree."

"The disaster came with the pollution of forbidden knowledge. At almost the same moment, my consciousness was connected to the World Tree, and I also noticed something strange."

"The mental pain began to torment me. When I arrived under the World Tree, it was already being eroded by forbidden knowledge."

"If it hadn't been for thousands of years ago, I and the Red King had dealt with the pollution of taboo knowledge, I'm afraid I would have been at a loss at that time."

"Forbidden knowledge...what exactly is it?" Nasida asked.

"It is knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is also [truth] that cannot be understood."

"It comes from the bottom of the abyss, and even I cannot understand it."

"The world is constantly [rejecting] it, but it also makes the world produce all kinds of bad [symptoms]."

"If taboo knowledge is allowed to continue to pollute the World Tree, I am afraid that the entire Tivat will fall apart."

Hearing these words from the Great Merciful Tree King, Paimon did not expect that there would be something that even the God of Wisdom could not understand.

"Since there really is knowledge that even the God of Wisdom cannot understand..."

"At that time, I knew that it was impossible to expel forbidden knowledge by relying on my own strength."

"So I created a device that integrates human intelligence and named it [Void]."

"That's the most amazing invention in the world."

"Haha... Thank you. For a long time, I have believed that dreams are the crystallization of human wisdom."

"Although it is a bit selfish to do so, I still use the void to borrow people's dreams. I integrate people's wisdom and contribute all my strength..."

Paimon asked at this time.

"what's the result?"

"Thanks to the wisdom of the Sumeru people, almost all taboo knowledge has been removed from the World Tree."

"But... things didn't go as smoothly as I expected. A headache gave me a bad premonition..."

"I just remembered that my consciousness and the World Tree are connected. The World Tree brought me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution also found me."

"From the very beginning... my existence has been polluted by forbidden knowledge."

Paimon was surprised by this result.

"Ah...how could..."

"I've seen that kind of pain in your consciousness. It's a terrible experience, isn't it?"

"Well, but in comparison, my feelings are not important, the important thing is..."

"Even if I die, my existence and everything related to me will still be preserved in the World Tree as memories and knowledge. Then the taboo knowledge can never be eradicated."
