People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

This answer surprised Rhodes.

The flower god himself is a ray of light?

So what the Great Compassion Tree King meant was that his true self was actually the reincarnation of the Flower God? No, it should be the remains of the Flower God?

"The consciousness of the Adventer plus the remains of the Flower Goddess, so Sky Island wants to imprison me to prevent me from becoming the fifth Adventer?"

Rhodes directly stated his guess and threw the difficult problem to the Great Compassion Tree King.

This was the only explanation he could come up with.

The eyes of God are shackles.

What are the characteristics of the Adventers?

In addition to being able to rival the will of an entire world, it also has unparalleled compatibility with elemental forces. The Heart of God that represents the Seven Rulings of the Earth is made from the remains of the Adventers.

The thread that connects to the throne.

For Nashida and the Great Tree King, it is a symbol of their identity as grass gods.

For Rhodes, it was after his Eye of God was shattered that he continued to pull at his shackles.

According to this conjecture, we can sort out the previous events.

This is roughly a timeline.

Before King Wei Chi opened the door to the abyss, the flower god separated a ray of spiritual light and gave it to the Daci Tree King, who then shaped a body for it, the divine bird Simoge, in which a ray of spiritual light resided in the consciousness of the Daci Tree King.

Then the flower god opened the door, and was swallowed by the power of the abyss. The remnant turned into another ray of spiritual light, wandering in the desert until Rhodes' consciousness arrived and merged with it.

Lingguang himself does not have the ability to shape a body.

The flower god's consciousness had long been lost in the disaster caused by opening the door.

Therefore, the unconscious spiritual light found his body in Rhodes' memory and successfully constructed a body for him to operate on the continent of Teyvat.

If Rhodes had not been hunted by the Tanit tribe at that time, perhaps he would have become a mortal and lived a mediocre life in Teyvat, and would not have been involved in various affairs like he is now.

But it's a pity.

No if.

The strong desire to survive that Rhodes burst out when he was on the verge of life and death triggered the Sky Island's Eye of God distribution system.

The first Eye of God, which was also the first shackles, fell from the sky.

While giving Rhodes the ability to manipulate ice elemental power, it also blocked his future of becoming an Adventer.

The same was true for the Fire Element God's Eye and the Grass Element God's Eye.

Whenever Rhodes' will touched Sky Island, new shackles would descend, locking him firmly under the control of Sky Island.

The acquisition of the Eye of the Wind Element God might really be an accident.

Because Rhodes really succeeded in using the Heart of the God of Wind at that time.

According to the conjecture of the shackles theory.

At that time, Rhodes' three divine eyes locked him on three thrones, but the throne of the God of Wind was not included.

Therefore, he can mobilize the heart of the God of Wind with the will of the descender.

So Sky Island urgently bound him with the fourth shackles, completely blocking his ability to use wind elemental power beyond his authority.

This is also why Rhodes could not use the Heart of the God of Wind no matter how hard he tried.

This was probably why he was unable to control the Grass God's Heart by his own strength.

Then the time jumps to when the consciousness of the Great Compassionate Tree King is reborn.

Before this, Rhodes had never figured out why the fragments of the Great Compassion Tree King's consciousness would reside in his Eye of God.

Now he had a rough outline.

That is, he himself is connected to the throne of the God of Grass, and the concrete manifestation of this connection at that time was the Eye of the God of Grass.

The three gods of Xumi once shared the power of grass god.

Therefore, that tiny bit of spiritual light carried the purified fragments of consciousness and drilled into the eye of God that was connected to the throne of the God of Grass.

And this thing.

Apep noticed it.

As the original grass dragon king, Apep is extremely sensitive to the power of Sky Island.

In addition, the throne of the seven gods itself is made of the dragon power stripped from the dragon king.

Therefore, those thrones that even the second-generation Dragon King could not see could actually be sensed by the original Dragon King.

After realizing this.

Apep generously gave away the source of his oasis.

In addition to speeding up the recovery of the Great Compassion Tree King, another purpose is to help Rhodes break the shackles of the Eye of God on him.

Wendy should be helping her do this as well.

Otherwise, he would not have let Rhodes listen to the prayers of the Flower God's believers, thus exposing the connection between Rhodes and the throne.

As for why Apep wanted to help him break the shackles.

"The Adventer."

Rhodes' facial expression changed slightly and he shook his head.

no doubt.

That’s the point about the Adventers.

There is no doubt that the locals of Teyvat cannot fight against the law of nature.

Only those who come from outside the world and do not belong to the destiny system of Teyvat can have this ability.

Of course.

The previous few adventers actually failed in the process.

The third advent was torn into pieces and turned into the Heart of God representing the seven gods.

But a glimmer of hope is better than no hope at all.

Therefore, Apep chose to help himself break the shackles on his body and release the elemental affinity that should have belonged to the descender.

"Is there anything that cannot be said?"

Rhodes didn't believe that Apep, Wendy and the Great Tree King could not imagine that he could figure out these things.

Then.

What are they hiding from me?

"Okay, okay, stop imagining that."

The Great Compassion Tree King patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said earnestly in the tone of a patriarch: "Everyone is doing this for your own good. Just know this~~"

"For my own good?"

"You mean to force me to help you fight against the law of nature?"

Rhodes raised his eyebrows and his voice became less pleasant.

These speculations were not good things for him.

But he had just finished.

The Great Compassion Tree King burst out laughing, staggered forward and backward for a long time, and then he held his stomach and said, "You always claim to be smart, how come you are so confused about this matter?"

"Ok?"

Rhodes frowned even deeper: "What do you mean?"

"fool."

The Great Kind Tree King chuckled and said, "As long as your connection with Sky Island remains, how can you fight against the law of nature?"

"hiss--"

Hearing this, Rhodes' eyes suddenly brightened up, and his originally bad mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.

Yup!

As long as the shackles on my body remain, I will not be able to unlock the privileges of the Adventers. So what can Apep do even if he has ill intentions towards me?

She can take advantage of the resurrection of the Great Compassionate Tree King to find the exact location of the throne and break the shackles that bind her on the throne in one fell swoop.

But this does not mean that she will have another chance to find the thrones of other gods.

So as long as Rhodes himself doesn't try to break the shackles.

Then no one could force him to restore his identity as an Adventer.

"I see--"

After realizing this, Rhodes swept away the previous haze and in a good mood carefully put away the remaining three Eyes of God to avoid being targeted again.

More than that.

He is now beginning to consider whether he should make a trip to the other three countries and find a reason to borrow the Heart of God from those three gods so that the shackles on his body can be tied more securely.

"Wind, fire, ice, grass."

"We're still missing some rocks, thunder and water."

Rhode stroked his chin and thought to himself, "The Water God's Heart is not in my hands, so it's not easy to deal with. The Thunder God's Heart, well, forget it, let's skip it, it's too difficult. As for the Rock God's Heart, what about it?"

Think about this.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and licked his lips uncontrollably.

It is not difficult to borrow the Heart of the God of Rock.

The lady is now on a business trip to Xumi, and the young master has only been away from Mondstadt for a short time, which means that it is not yet time for the God of Geo to pretend to be dead and replace the divine power of Liyue with human rule.

I can take advantage of this opportunity to create a time difference and rush to Liyue to find the Geode Morax and get his Geode Heart.

Rhodes's needs were not great.

All we have to do is use the power of God's Heart like we did in Mondstadt to let Sky Island get rid of the fifth shackles.

Such a demand can be met without having to sign any difficult contractual agreement.

Let me be optimistic.

He is now going on a business trip to Liyue in the name of Nashida. He will take the opportunity to meet with the God of Geo and ask to borrow the Heart of God. Maybe he can achieve his goal directly.

"We must set out before the lady leaves."

"Well, we must get ahead of her."

A long-lost smile broke out on Rhodes' face.

Ok, deal.

The Great Compassionate Tree King was right. As long as the shackles on his body were not broken, no one would have any strange thoughts about him.

Aren’t you, Apep, unwilling to give up?

Then I will tie my own hands and feet and see what you can do!

Chapter 209 The Past Told by the Great Compassionate Tree King

The return of the Great Compassionate Tree King has not been announced.

The people living in the City of Hope simply thought that the vision that day was the grass god performing a miracle.

After all, in name only.

This city was born in the desert thanks to the miracle of the grass god.

This was the first time a real city appeared in the desert since the destruction of the Red King's city of Gur.

Therefore, even those radical Red Kings only secretly made some small moves out of resentment, but on the surface they still obediently followed the various arrangements issued directly by the Council of Religious Orders.
