Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

So, is the Little Lucky Grass King the Great Charity Tree King?

"impossible?"

"how so!?"

The Great Sage standing at the gate of the Church of Christ had a ferocious expression on his face and muttered to himself, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The three sages beside him had similar expressions, while two other people dressed similarly a distance away were filled with anger.

"I knew it, I knew it..."

"Has God returned? Has the power of the God of Wisdom been restored?"

They were both under house arrest because of something, but a mysterious force pulled them into a dream, so they were able to move freely again.

Unexpectedly, what they saw when they stepped outside was this scene, a sight that caused them both pain and self-blame.

While others might not know, the six sages did. The figure of the Great Tree King after it shrank into a child in that scene was clearly identical to that of the Little Lucky Grass King.

It's quite obvious now: the Little Lucky Grass King is the Great Charity Tree King.

"What have we done...?"

……

"I am... the Great Tree King?"

Inside the float, Naxi Da stared blankly at Zhong Gui and asked him a question.

"Well, yes and no. If little Nasita wants to know, then keep reading."

Zhong Gui walked alone in front, followed by the Lanalo people who surrounded the float as it moved forward.

More and more people from Sumeru followed behind the float. Originally, many people were heading to the Academy of Religion, but since the whole of Sumeru City could see the float slowly heading towards the Academy, they spontaneously followed behind it and chased after it.

They gazed with reverence at the small figure inside the float, the sovereign of the rainforest and desert, their common god.

After a five-hundred-year absence, the god of Mount Sumeru has returned!

At this moment, the scene from high above—

The same floats entered the desert, where the desert priests reverently saw off the young, bewildered gods who were no longer wise or elegant.

The sages of the rainforest adorn the world with flowers and welcome the slumbering beings back to Mount Sumeru.

The scholars began from scratch, teaching the goddess of wisdom until she became omniscient and omnipotent again, guiding the scholars and schools of thought of Mount Sumeru to even greater glory.

The path of exploring wisdom is once again guided by divine light.

……

Seeing this, everyone looked at the sages high above with puzzled expressions.

The four sages, including Hazard, seemed to collapse, repeatedly exclaiming that it was impossible, that it was all fake, all a dream.

If Zhong Gui were here, he would know what was going on with the four of them; their "Dao Heart" was beginning to collapse.

Although they imprisoned the gods, betrayed their country, harmed their own people, and rejected the inhabitants of the desert...

But in their arrogant eyes, these are simply "still yearning for the Great Compassionate Tree King," "exploiting the foolish masses of the Winter Kingdom," "the contributions that the Sumeru people should make," and "the remnants of the Red King"...

So even though their crimes are countless, they believe they are doing it all for the good of Sumeru.

But now that they're being told they've been imprisoning the Great Tree King, they're on the verge of collapse.

From birth to becoming scholars, and finally to becoming the Six Sages, they were all "brainwashed" by four words: "Great Compassion Tree King"!

No matter how despicable they are, this god is their faith.

Just like those "fools" who followed the Three Admonitions in Inazuma, they betrayed Inazuma's interests yet were extremely devout to Raijin.

The other two sages who refused to compromise their principles collapsed to the ground; compared to their predecessors, they were truly despicable.

Is the fact that the academic progress in Sumeru has been stagnant for five hundred years, like a pool of still water, simply because they themselves have blocked out their own "wisdom"?

God, why is this happening...? From which generation of sages did they begin to say that acknowledging the Little Lucky Grass King is tantamount to acknowledging the Great Charity Tree King's death?

Isn't this cheating?

This clearly acknowledges that the Little Lucky Grass King is the beginning of welcoming back the Great Compassion Tree King!

And then what happened? What happened next?

Let me see when such valuable data was lost? Who did it?!

Thinking of this, the two sages and scholars were filled with rage, wishing they could tear that possible person apart.

—And so it went, year after year.

Under the rule of the Great Compassion Tree King, Mount Sumeru flourished harmoniously, though as her friends and relatives departed one by one, no one could remain by her side.

Five hundred years ago, the "Black Plague" descended upon Teyvat.

The other seven gods, except for the Great Tree King, were summoned to Kanria by the sound of beeping (censored): the Great Tree King was ordered to protect the World Tree.

When the Great Tree King arrived at the World Tree, she found it had been corrupted by forbidden knowledge. In order to save the World Tree, the Great Tree King created the Void System, which integrated the wisdom of the people of Sumeru, and also borrowed their dreams. Then she contributed all her power and finally "almost" succeeded in purifying the World Tree.

However, since the Great Tree King is connected to the World Tree and has long been corrupted by forbidden knowledge, even if she sacrifices herself like the Red King, everything about her, including her memories, will still be preserved by the World Tree.

In this way, the taboo knowledge that pollutes the World Tree cannot be completely eradicated, and even she herself cannot eliminate it.

The Great Tree King needs a successor to her authority, a god who can erase herself from existence. So she broke off the purest branch of the World Tree as her reincarnation or successor.

And so, Naxida, the "Little Auspicious Grass King," was born.

She is the new continuation of the Great Compassion Tree King...

……

Because the Church denies the Lesser Auspicious Grass King and frantically promotes the faith in the Great Compassion Tree King, the Sumeru people are basically believers in the Great Compassion Tree King.

A small portion of them are the believers that Nasita has gradually accumulated over the past five hundred years.

The third party consists of believers of the Red King, primarily the people of the desert.

Of course, there is also a fourth faction, which is that the Great Kindness Tree King "passed away" and the Lesser Auspicious Grass King did not appear, so these people either do not believe in gods or believe in gods from other countries.

Leaving aside the fourth faction for now, the relationship between the two factions that couldn't reach an agreement earlier, as well as the Red King's followers whom they both disliked and who disliked them, became delicate.

The Great Compassion Tree King and the Little Auspicious Grass King are one entity. The Red King and the Tree King are close friends. Although they had conflicts, the Tree King still sacrificed everything for the desert.

These conflicting believers can be considered as one group.

At this moment, they all looked towards the Order of the Church and towards the Great Sage.

Some hot-tempered mercenary groups have even drawn their weapons, just waiting for the right moment to unleash their fury.

And that opportunity is—

"The float bounces and bounces, and Nasita opens her eyes..."

The opening song began playing on screen—

Chapter 5 With sword in hand, follow me!

The float bounced and bounced, and Naxida opened her eyes.

She said she just had a dream that Naxida's birthday was today.

In her dream, the Flower Knight and his attendants discovered her.

Gods, we've finally found you! Everyone is eagerly awaiting our meeting.

The Flower Goddess Festival has begun, and people are happily circling around her.

Until Nasida got on the float, waved to everyone and said: Goodbye.

The float bounced and bounced, and Naxida opened her eyes.

She said she just had a dream that Naxida's birthday was today.

In her dream, the Flower Knight and his attendants discovered her.

Gods, we've finally found you! Everyone is eagerly awaiting our meeting.

The Flower Goddess Festival has begun, and people are happily circling around her.

Until Nasida got on the float, waved to everyone and said: Goodbye.

As if repeating itself, the little deity danced joyfully in his dream.

But, at some point, all those beautiful scenes disappeared.

A blood-red sky, a greyish-white earth, the world was deathly silent...

The float bounced and bounced, and Naxida opened her eyes...

The sages roughly dragged the newborn god into Mount Sumeru, and the gates of the Pure Good Palace remained closed for five hundred years.

The whole world was celebrating her birthday, and people surrounded her, singing the songs she had just learned.

But when I open my eyes, the world is still black and white. Does happiness only exist in dreams?

"I am not a qualified god, and I am rarely mentioned by people."

"I study non-stop, but I still can't meet their expectations."

Five hundred years ago, in order to fight against an unknown calamity, the once omniscient and omnipotent gods disappeared.
