I am a male god in Liyue

"Yes."

Baixiao looked solemn and nodded seriously.

--

Late at night.

Xia Zhi returned to his room.

He did not make minimum living allowance tonight, so he opened the system panel to check.

The health value is full, the mana value is full, the divine power value is full, the spirit value is also full...

Except for the two eyes, which are sealed gray data, all other attributes are normal green data.

Xia Zhi picked up the incense burner and lit a [perfect soothing incense].

The bottle of [Soothing Pill] he bought before has been used up, and he is now using a new bottle.

The familiar fragrance spread, and Xia Zhi felt peaceful.

Almost ready.

Xia Zhi went to bed, took out the [Pillow of Strange Dreams], and prepared to fall asleep according to the predictive information given by the [Mirror of Illusion].

Close your eyes and slowly fall asleep.

In a daze, he suddenly heard a system prompt in his heart.

"The host has entered the second level of dreamland."

Xia Zhi opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was in a different dream world.

There was no longer the gorgeous ocean of dream bubbles in front of him, only an empty darkness.

In an unknown distance, a few strange light spots were flickering.

Xia Zhi looked around at this desolate dream world. With his fixed memory, he instantly recalled the effect of [Pillow of Different Dreams] in his mind.

[When sleeping on this item, there is a probability of entering a dream, the first level of dream (98%), the second level of dream (2%). 】

Although this 2% probability is twice as high as the 1% probability of [Enhancement Crystal] being successful, he still has not successfully triggered it once in more than two months.

Tonight is the first time he has entered the second level of dream world.

The second level of dreams is a deep dream. Only people with relatively strong mental power will occasionally enter this level of dreams while dreaming, which is why this place looks so desolate.

"Is this why [Illusory Mirror] suggested that I use [Entangled Fate] tonight?"

Xia Zhi was thoughtful.

"Is the person I'm going to get married with related to the second level of dreams?"

Xia Zhi took out a mirror from the inventory and asked it about precognition.

"Should I use [Entangled Fate] now?"

Words appeared on the mirror: "Yes."

Xia Zhi took out a pink blue hollow ball from the inventory.

Choose to use.

The ball burst into bright light.

Immediately afterwards, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed and turned into a bright starry sky.

The light emitted by the ball became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a golden meteor, flying to a certain place in the starry sky at high speed, lighting up a beautiful constellation.

"The use of [Entangled Fate] was successful, and the object of bonding has been drawn - the Great Merciful Tree King."

As the extraction ended, the bright starry sky in front of him dimmed, leaving only the beautiful illuminated constellation.

The starlight of the constellation fell gently on Xia Zhi's body.

Xia Zhi felt that many scenes suddenly flashed through his mind.

In every scene there is the same elegant and intellectual strange woman.

She sits alone and meditates, she talks to people, her emotions...

This is... the outline of the fate of the "Great Merciful Tree King" in his life.

Xia Zhi saw the last scene: she broke off a twig from a huge tree, with regret in her eyes, and slowly disappeared, her lips opened slightly, and she said: Let the world, completely Forget me...

This sentence is so familiar.

The world...forgot...

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the sentence Fudu Ji had been repeating in the dream world.

So, Fudu Ji turns out to be the Great Ci Tree King?

As the destiny projection ends, the starlight of the constellation also dims.

A meteor flew down from the constellation and returned to his hand.

Xia Zhi looked at it. The original pink-blue ball had now turned into a pure blue ball.

He put it into his inventory and found that its item information had also changed, and its name had changed from [Fate of Entanglement] to [Fate of Encounter].

【Fate of Encounter】

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Disposable props.

Characteristics: Destiny, fate.

Effect: The subsequent props obtained after using Entangled Fate can open a special portal after use, and you will definitely meet the person you are bonded with.

Hidden effect: The initial favorability of the partner is friendly, and the favorability increase rate is +50%.

Follow-up props?

This was the first time Xia Zhi encountered this kind of usage situation.

But this is not important.

What's important is that judging from the previous sketches of destiny, the Great Merciful Tree King seems to have fallen on his own in order to save the World Tree.

The Fudu Ji in her dream now seems to be just a trace of her remaining consciousness.

[Illusory Mirror]’s suggestion would not be to let him open the portal, go to the World Tree to find the consciousness of the Great Mercy Tree King, and go back 500 years in time to resurrect her, right?

His divine power is not enough to sustain the reverse flow for such a long time.

Xia Zhi took out the mirror and asked it about precognition.

"What should I do now?"

A line of text appeared on the mirror: "Use [Fate of Encounter]."

Xia Zhi asked again.

"and then?"

"Go back 500 years ago and help King Daci Shu solve the problem of [forbidden knowledge]."

"How to go back to the past?"

"Use [Fate of Encounter]."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

He put away the mirror, took out the pure blue ball, and chose to use it.

The blue ball turned into countless light spots, forming a blue portal in front of him.

Xia Zhi walked directly into the portal without hesitation.

The voice of the system sounded in his heart.

"The host already has the characteristic: breaking through the sky."

"The host already has the characteristic: time return."

"This destiny teleportation allows [time travel], do you want to use it?"

"……Yes."

Chapter 228 What Strategy Mirror

In front of Xia Zhi's eyes was an extremely huge tree.

This is the world tree of Teyvat continent.

Standing under the tree was a woman who looked like a child, but her eyes were filled with the light of wisdom. A shiny diamond progress bar hung on her body.

This is the Great Ci Tree King who has overdrawn his strength.

Xia Zhi already knew her fate when she used [Entangled Fate].

She is the incarnation of the World Tree, the god of wisdom, and was once one of the three gods who ruled Sumeru.

500 years ago, [forbidden knowledge] from outside the world came from the bottom of the abyss and polluted the World Tree. The Great Merciful Tree King, who was connected to the World Tree, was polluted by the forbidden knowledge while governing the World Tree. Only when this exists The forbidden knowledge will be completely cleared when she is completely forgotten, so she finally chose self-sacrifice.

In Xia Zhi's view, she is someone worthy of respect.

The system sounded a prompt in his heart.

"Please note that there is a time limit for this destiny transmission. Please complete the relationship as soon as possible (let the other party take the initiative to respond to your request for physical contact)."

At the same time, the special equipment [Hourglass of Time] hanging on the character panel turned upside down and began to lose the sand of time.

Xia Zhi predicted in his mind that he could probably stay here for 10 minutes.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

It doesn't matter whether they become friends or not, he mainly wants to try to help King Daci Tree change his original miserable fate.

"You came."

King Daci Tree looked at Xia Zhi who suddenly appeared and said.

"you know me?"

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

"I know you, but I don't know you... I had a dream. In the dream, I saw your past in another world."

"Oh?"

"It's really an interesting world. Without elements, people can actually develop civilization to that extent... Your ending is a pity, but you are a good boy."

"Good boy..."

"I didn't expect that you who I met in my dream would actually appear in front of me. I can feel the divine power in you. You seem to have experienced many things after your death in that world?"

"Yeah, you don't know?"

"I don't know, the dream about you dissipated after your death."

Xia Zhi looked at the Daci Tree King, her eyes revealed clear wisdom.

Not like lying.

From what he knew about her, she probably wasn't lying either.

In other words, she didn't know the system existed.

The reason why the dream ended at that time may also be because of the emergence of the system.

"There's nothing to say. I also had a dream about you, and I saw your fate of self-sacrifice in the dream."

"Self-sacrifice... I did have this intention. I didn't expect you to see the future."

"No, I'm from the future."

"?"

"Actually, I come from Teyvat 500 years in the future."

"500 years from now? What was Teyvat like at that time?"

"I live in Liyue, so I don't know much about other countries, but I heard from tourists and businessmen that the situation in each country should be okay."
