The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 333 Touching the Medium
As the giant snake finished speaking, the tree seed that Nashida carried on her body flew out quietly, emitting a mixture of scarlet and emerald green light. The tree seed disintegrated in the light, turning into tiny specks of stardust, which together with the light formed the body of the Great Kindness Tree King.

"Don't be afraid, Narcida."

The Great Compassion Tree King reached out and touched Nashida's cheek, soothing her softly, then raised his head and looked into the giant snake's cold gray eyes. She was silent for two seconds, her expression calm and without any worry, but her tightly clenched hands behind her back still betrayed her: "We can talk."

"I'm not in the habit of talking to food before I eat it."

The giant snake seemed to be laughing, and its suffocating malice pressed down on the two grass gods: "I don't think food has any right to talk to me."

As he spoke, he slightly tightened the snake's tail. Nashida groaned and her face turned paler.

"You are here for the World Tree. You intend to use the World Tree to temporarily gain control over the fundamental laws of the Teyvat world, and ultimately achieve the goal of resurrecting your soul."

The Great Compassion Tree King took a deep breath and tried to control his gaze, not to look at what happened to Nashida, lest his mind be disturbed and he lose his last chance: "Am I right?"

"Very correct."

The giant snake's smile became more obvious, as if it had guessed what the Great Compassion Tree King was going to do: "It seems that you don't intend to continue resisting."

The purpose of His coming to Mount Sumeru is just as the Great Compassionate Tree King said: to use the World Tree to touch and control the laws of the world.

Although the World Tree is just a springboard, the effects obtained will naturally be different depending on the way this springboard is used.

The worst possibility is, of course, that when using the World Tree, one encounters strong rejection from the World Tree consciousness - that is, the God of Grass. Although this can also achieve the ultimate goal, the success rate and degree of trouble are really unbearable to watch.

The best one is that the Grass God actively cooperates and opens the door to the thieves. It is a matter of mutual consent and it happens naturally. The taste is naturally much better than forcing the World Tree to cooperate.

The middle option is that he forcibly devours the Grass God, digests the authority, and replaces his identity, betting that the World Tree will not be able to discover it in time, thus achieving his goal.

The giant snake Chen Tianfeng coiled his tail around Nashida, winding around, and his body surrounded the Great Compassion Tree King. He looked at the Great Compassion Tree King, and suddenly felt a little strange: he always felt like he had captured her young child and forced her to sacrifice herself.

What kind of foreign evil god and young mother... The giant snake shook its head and threw away such inexplicable thoughts: "But don't you think it's a little too late to give up resistance now?"

"The World Tree is very fragile. It is very likely that it cannot bear your power."

The Great Compassionate Tree King did not answer directly, but said softly: "So, when you touch the World Tree, if there is a medium that has a close relationship with the World Tree, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"And if we talk about the close relationship, who can compare with the God of Grass, who can be regarded as the will of the World Tree?"

She exhaled and looked at Chen Tianfeng: "If you let Nashida go, I am willing to cooperate with you and act as a medium for you to contact the World Tree."

"No! Great Kindness Tree King! No!"

Nashida struggled to her feet, her eyes anxious and pleading: "Please don't, King of the Great Kindness Tree... please."

Chen Tianfeng looked at Nashida in surprise, then thought of something and turned his gaze to the Great Compassion Tree King: "What is the price of becoming a medium?"

“Become one of the many shadows behind you.”

The Great Compassionate Tree King had a calm expression.

"interesting."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and was about to say something when an annoying roar came from the ruins. The God of Righteousness got up again, and locked his irrational and crazy eyes on the giant snake. He rushed forward bravely, and controlled many elements with his devil instinct, launching brilliant but futile attacks on the giant snake again and again.

"…Poor fool."

The giant snake swung its tail, smashing Nashida towards the Great Kindness Tree King, then turned around and exhaled, setting the God of Righteousness on fire. The gray-white flame flowed like liquid and turned into chains, easily imprisoning the Mad God.

"Oh!"

The gray-white snake's tail shattered the shield of the God of Machine's cockpit, rolled up the Heartless Doll, and was about to take out the dessert hidden in the iron shell, but suddenly realized something and stopped.

The puppet, the mecha, and the God's Heart, the combination of these three is the true God. If they are separated, the energy level of this group of demon-level snacks will drop rapidly and become an ordinary puppet, mecha and God's Heart.

The giant snake thought for a few seconds, first stuffed the puppet with scarlet eyes back into the cockpit, then pulled its tail out like a rainstorm, and after a very rhythmic metallic knocking sound, the God of Righteousness was flattened and ravaged into a ball.

The giant snake opened its mouth and bit the divine ball of righteousness, then swung its head.

"Gollum."

The God of Righteousness was swallowed whole, leaving no trace behind, while the phantoms of the gods behind the giant snake successfully added another member.

Nashida's body trembled, but when the giant snake's gaze swept over, she suppressed her fear and stood in front of the Great Mercy Tree King with her hands open, as if trying to stop the giant snake from approaching the Great Mercy Tree King.

The Great Mercy Tree King was stunned for a moment, sighed gently and helplessly, and reached out to rub Nashida's hair.

Things have developed to this point, and they have long lost the qualifications and ability to reject Chen Tianfeng.

The giant snake glanced at them, and its huge body disappeared. Chen Tianfeng slowly walked in front of the two gods.

"You're right. It's indeed much more convenient to have a medium when touching the World Tree."

Chen Tianfeng grinned and put his hand on Nashida's head. He clearly felt the little grass god's body suddenly stiffen. "But why should I choose you? Nashida is the complete grass god who has not been contaminated by forbidden knowledge. She is the best choice."

He bent down, looked into Nashida's eyes, and said softly, "Nashida, are you willing to die for the Great Kindness Tree King?"

The Great Compassionate Tree King's expression changed instantly, and without waiting for Nashida to answer, his illusory palm turned into a sharp blade and suddenly pierced through Nashida's chest.

"Of course I..."

Nashida was stunned. She looked down at the hand that came out of her chest. Her small body began to tremble, and her eyes were full of confusion: "Daci... Tree King?"

The phantom hand clenched into a fist and slowly retracted.

Nashida's face became paler and paler. She wanted to turn her head to look at the Great Compassion Tree King, but she didn't even have the strength to do so. She didn't see any injuries on her chest, and there was no blood flowing out. She didn't feel any pain at all, but only a deep sense of weakness, so weak that she couldn't even move a finger.

Nashida moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but her body softened and she fell backwards.

The Great Compassionate Tree King caught Nashida, held her gently in his arms, and looked up at Chen Tianfeng: "Now, I am the only grass god who can act as a medium."
