Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Narcida analyzed again: "You deliberately let Seno and the executors of the Fools go before, otherwise with your power, you could have aged Seno very quickly."

Upon arriving in Sumeru City, Seno was cursed with the Demon Scale Disease, proving that the Hermanubis power within him could not exempt him from the forbidden knowledge of the Abyss.

Ultimately, Hermanubis was merely one of the Red King's servants, while the Great Tree King was someone who could sit at the same table as the Red King.

Moreover, she possesses forbidden knowledge, meaning she could eliminate Seno and the young master in an instant if she so desired.

The reason she didn't do it is because she is still herself, and she will not fall into the abyss because of her resurrection from the forbidden.

God's will is by no means so fragile.

The Great Tree King said, "Nashida, do you still think of me as the benevolent Great Tree King? The sages who revived me in Azhar have all aged and become fertilizer to nourish the land."

Nasita continued, “No, Azar and the others are guilty. They want to revive you from forbidden knowledge, which they extracted from the bodies of those suffering from the Demonscale Disease.”

"So during this period, the patients with the Demon Scale Disease in Sumeru disappeared one after another. They were all captured by them. I think they may have been drained dry."

"The madness of the sages has reached the point of insanity, and has deviated from the calmness of wisdom."

"..."

The Great Tree King fell silent. The dark green aura of aging on its body slowly disappeared, and it returned to the form everyone knew—the wise and kind king.

“You’re right, Hazard and his group are indeed insane. The Six Deadly Sins—reviving me after my fall—constituted humanity’s presumptuous talk of life and death; their reckless research into forbidden knowledge constituted the sin of speaking of mysteries without fear…”

"They all had ways to bring about their own demise!"

"But when I started, I told them a story: Long ago, there was a gardener who accidentally obtained a slender vine seedling, mistaking it for a precious wisteria, so he carefully planted it in the center of his courtyard and pruned its branches and leaves every day..."

"When the vines climbed wildly up the pillars and the branches and leaves became more and more lush, they bloomed with dark purple poisonous flowers. The pollen was scattered by the wind, causing the plants in the courtyard to wither and even the passing bees and butterflies to fall down."

"The gardener covered his mouth and nose and backed away, only to realize with horror that the pergola he had built with his own hands was entangled and corroded by poisonous vines. He had mistaken poisonous vines for fine wood, and all his careful cultivation had only paved the way for the ripening of poisonous fruit. In the end, he would be devoured by the evil fruit he had sown."

"..."

Nasita listened silently to the parables of the Great Tree King.

After the Great Tree King finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the blue and white branches of the World Tree, saying, "But an old man answered me: A crow stands in the snow, guarding the silence. Even when the world is frozen, it remains. If it were to choose another place to roost, would it leave out of fear of the cold and loneliness, thus betraying the tranquility it guards alone in the snow?"

“They don’t necessarily want to do it this way, but this is the only option left: to resurrect me and remove the demonic scales that have plagued Sumeru.”

“Nasita, they saw no hope in you, so they chose me at all costs.”

"..."

Nasita fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while she said in a low voice, "These days I have been studying how to get rid of the World Tree's intractable disease at the Academy of Religion, but I finally discovered that in order to get rid of the Demon Scale Disease and the Dead Zone in the Sumeru Realm..."

"You must be deleted because the World Tree records knowledge and information. You are contaminated by forbidden knowledge and are a manifestation of the World Tree's consciousness. Everyone must forget you in order to restore the World Tree's health."

The Great Tree King smiled: "Nasita, you are still a god of wisdom even without the heart of the grass god. That's right. The only way to remove the harm that forbidden knowledge has done to Sumeru is to make the world forget me!"

“If that’s the case, Nasita, why did you take action? You possess the power of dreams, which can rewrite people’s memories.”

"Even if that doesn't work, you can still enter the World Tree and remove me from the world."

Nasita didn't reply and was made to stand as punishment, like a primary school student.

The Great Tree King approached Nasita and looked into her eyes, which were exactly the same as his own, and said, "The wise often say that there are three kinds of death. When your heart stops beating and your breathing stops, that is physiological death."

"When your relatives and friends close your coffin, erect your tombstone, and let you rest in peace, you will no longer participate in any social activities and will be completely kicked out of the social network. This is social death."

"Finally, it's the moment when everyone forgets you, when no one remembers your name, your experiences, or any trace of your existence; when the world no longer has any memory of you..."

"You will die completely; this is the final demise of life, and an irreversible, eternal farewell."

"..."

Nasita remained silent. Now, she was so close to the Great Tree King that he could age her with a mere wave of his hand.

But the Great Tree King did not do that.

She always kept a distance from Nasita, and the aura of aging on the Great Tree King could not be completely concealed; she did not want to harm Nasita.

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the purple demonic scales on Naxida's face, noting that a few more had appeared in such a short time.

"The moment I was reborn from the forbidden, the erosion of the World Tree by forbidden knowledge increased dramatically. I just tried it, and now the World Tree can no longer delete me as it pleases."

The Great Tree King looked at the small, dark blue weapon fragment in Nasita's hand: "There are two ways now. One is to use extremely powerful spiritual energy to completely destroy me."

"The second option is to use the abyss's devouring power to engulf me and then throw me out of the Teyvat world."

"Nasita, the Abyss weapon in your hand was given to you by Brahma, wasn't it?"

Nasida looked at the fragment of the Spine of Eternal Night in her hand and nodded: "He said that if I pierce your body with this fragment, I can devour you."

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded: "Indeed, once I, the source, am dealt with, the remaining ailments will be nothing to fear."

"Come on, Nasita, we've already wasted some time. Use the weapon in your hand to destroy me, and then use your power over the World Tree to eliminate me and completely save the World Tree and Sumeru."

"This this……"

Narcida could have easily solved the world's chronic disease with a single stab, but she hesitated to do so.

Just then, Jing Fantian was knocked down by Apep. He stepped forward and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Apep has mastered the forbidden knowledge within its body, and its power has reached the level of a semi-complete dragon.

Jing Fantian's power couldn't actually harm it.

Jing Fantian noticed the scene of Naxida colluding with the Great Tree King and shouted, "Naxida, what are you doing? Kill the Great Tree King! Only by killing her can the World Tree be saved!"

"Stab her! Stab her now!"

"Grudge from Nashida, +100 constellation points."

To Jing Fantian's bewildered gaze, the Great Compassion Tree King grabbed Naxida's hand holding the fragment of the Eternal Night's Spine and plunged it into his own chest.

"you--"

Nasita stared in shock at the Great Tree King.
