The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 327 Resistance and Deletion

Nashida subconsciously stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to forcibly capture the great sage's dissipated soul and imprison it, wanting to get things clearly.

How did he know the storm was coming? Was the storm he observed the same as the storm King Dacishu described? Why couldn't he, why couldn't the Order of the Lords, trust her a little more?
She is obviously working hard to prepare for the storm!
But once the soul is broken and dissipated, how can it be easily brought back?
Nashida stretched out her hands in a daze, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Nascida."

A faint voice suddenly sounded beside her ear, and Nashida woke up immediately. She closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the consciousness space attached to the World Tree.

"Great Kind Tree King, how are you?"

As soon as Nashida entered, she hurried to the light and shadow in the space that was so weak that it was about to disappear. It was the Great Compassion Tree King.

As early as two days ago, the condition of the Great Compassion Tree King had rapidly deteriorated. The originally green and vibrant soft light was stained with scarlet, and the whole god became extremely weak, as if it was struggling to resist something.

"I'm fine, I can still hold on for a while, but I can't stay with you any longer."

The Great Compassion Tree King said weakly, "Listen to me, Nashida. I can feel that the monster has arrived at Xumi. It is hiding in the dark, like a terrifying poisonous snake, looking for the best time to bite."

"I am free, King of the Great Compassionate Tree. I have walked out of the seal!"

Nashida tried hard to control her voice, trying to make it sound normal, calm, and reliable: "I can stop Him. I definitely can!"

"His goal is the World Tree. What you need to do is to use your own authority, combined with the power of Xumi's people, to create a dream for him that is so real that it can be mistaken for reality... The only weakness of that monster is its soul. This is the only thing that you, Xumi, can use."

The Great Compassion Tree King paused for a few seconds and continued, "You must remember that once the monster finds out that he has been deceived, he will not give up and will definitely return to Mount Sumeru. So you cannot relax for a moment and must use dreams to build the most reliable barrier for Mount Sumeru."

"He can lose countless times, but if Xumi loses once, there will be no chance to start over again."

"Yeah! I remember it!"

Nashida nodded vigorously, but for some reason, the words of the great sage suddenly rang in her mind: God should have supreme authority, should abandon useless emotions such as kindness and weakness, and should suppress all heresy...

Perhaps gods should be as the great sage said, with strong minds and decisive actions?
Nashida looked dazed, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong, but at the same time she felt that nothing was wrong.

She looked at the Great Compassion Tree King in confusion, but suddenly her eyes widened.

In her eyes, there was no weak light and shadow of the Great Compassion Tree King. Instead, there was a big tree that was cut off at the roots. The broken end was rugged and uneven, as if it had been bitten off by some ferocious beast.

"Ah! The Great Kind Tree King!"

Nashida was filled with fear, but in the blink of an eye, the broken tree shadow disappeared again, and the shadow of the Great Kindness Tree King reappeared before her eyes, as if what just happened was just a momentary illusion.

"What's wrong, Narcida?"

King Daci Shu was puzzled.

"No, nothing..."

Nashida shook her head vigorously and hesitated for a few seconds. She did not tell what she had just seen, but thought that it was an illusion caused by her emotional turmoil as she had just killed someone: "Nothing..."

The Great Compassion Tree King did not doubt him, and once again gathered his strength and said, "My original plan was that when you regain your freedom, the first thing you would do was to delete me and completely solve the disaster caused by the forbidden knowledge. But now the monster has arrived, deleting me and the forbidden knowledge will affect you and Apep, and will bring more accidents."

She paused for two seconds and said, "So, Nashida, after you successfully resist the monster's first attack, you must back up the information related to the monster as soon as possible. After you are well prepared, completely delete me and the forbidden knowledge. Only in this way can you truly save Xumi."

And she was able to leave after seeing with her own eyes that Nashida was capable of protecting Xumi, so she died without regrets.

"Delete you...?" Nashida's eyes were blank, and great sadness surged in her heart. She shook her head, and her voice was filled with tears and pleading that were difficult to hide: "We have other ways, right? We must have other ways, right?"

"..."

The Great Compassionate Tree King did not say anything, but just sighed, raised his hand and gently touched Nashida's hair.

"...I, I don't want you to leave, Great Kindness Tree King..."

Nashida lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs. She raised her hands to wipe her eyes, but she couldn't wipe away the tears.

"I know, I know. I can't bear to leave you, too, Narcida."

The Great Kind Tree King reached out and held Nashida in his arms, his eyes loving, as if he was looking at his own daughter who had to grow up and face life alone: ​​"But many things in the world will not change because of our will, even if we are gods. This is the best way, Nashida."

"..."

Nashida buried herself in the arms of the Great Compassion Tree King, gritting her teeth and suppressing her tears, refusing to let herself cry out: "But...but..."

But we have just met again, and we have not yet created more and better memories together, but I really can't bear to leave you... Nashida wanted to say this, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say a word.

"I know, I know it all. Don't cry, Narcida."

The Great Compassion Tree King stroked her soft hair with his palm, "At least we said goodbye properly, at least Xumi will be safe, at least... we didn't disappoint each other's expectations."

As soon as she finished speaking, the light and shadow suddenly turned into spots of light and disappeared, leaving only a lush tree species with scarlet patterns on it, which fell into Nashida's hands.

"I am going to sleep, Nashida. I will do my best to delay the erosion of forbidden knowledge for you, and wait for you to wake me up and tell me the good news of success."

"I will, I will!"

Nashida clutched the tree seed, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and promised herself and the Great Kindness Tree King: "I will! I will not let you down!"

We will definitely defeat the monsters, protect the world tree, and protect all the people of Xumi!
She put away the tree seeds, turned around and left the consciousness space, returning to the body of Jingshan Palace.

The scene in the Jingshan Palace did not change at all. The Great Sage's cold body fell to the ground without any sign of life. Beside him, the sturdy secretary Elhaisen also lay peacefully. His rising and falling chest strongly proved that he was just in a deep sleep, not like the Great Sage who could not wake up.

Nashida came to Elhaisen, reached out and touched his forehead, trying to wake the clerk up, but found that he seemed to be in someone's dream at the moment. If she didn't find that key person, she couldn't wake him up.

Although we can find the key person, we cannot wake him up alone.

"it is as expected……"

Nashida stood up and looked at the great sage. After hesitating for a moment, she came to his side, leaned over and stretched out her hand to help him close his eyes.

"I will become a true god. I will protect Xumi, now and in the future. No matter what the storm you mentioned is, I will do what a god should do."

Nashida stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, her eyes determined: "But, I will not let any of you and your accomplices go. They will get the judgment and punishment they deserve, just like you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked towards the desert.

The monsters have arrived and a new god is about to be born. Time is running out, so she takes advantage of this brief break to have a chat with the Grass Dragon King.
