Touch yourself...

Hearing Ying's reminder, Nangong Ya subconsciously raised her hands and rubbed them on her body.

But soon her movements stopped.

She had never tried to use the purification template to purify herself, but if she was now reduced to a child, wouldn't she be unable to fulfill her contract with the Great Compassionate Tree King?

But then again... it seems like it's useless for me to touch myself, right?

Nangong Ya, whose consciousness was a little hazy, hesitated for a while. At this time, too much strength had dissipated from her body. She could no longer hold up her heavy eyelids, and she closed her eyes and fainted.

"Xiaoya!"

Ying and Paimon exclaimed and hurriedly supported her body.

"Why is this happening? We can only enter here using our consciousness bodies. Why is she in this state..."

Nashida frowned worriedly as she thought. She couldn't use the World Tree at this moment, and there was no way to stop the World Tree's instinctive reaction.

But just as they were panicking, a gentle breath suddenly spread out from Nangong Ya's body. Wherever it passed, the dark earth and dead grass began to come alive again, and the dead silent cave seemed to have regained its vitality.

According to the answer given by the system in the dream, when Nangong Ya was born, her body and power were made from a part of the origin of the "tree" that was knocked out by the system, but it is unknown what materials the system added into it.

This also means that Nangong Ya can clear away the forbidden knowledge and power of the abyss that Teyvat is powerless against with just the purification power of her left hand.

This power also has a side effect. As long as Nangong Ya is not conscious, a part of the purification effect will spontaneously spread outward from her body, so people who rest with her can always have a good sleep.

And it seemed that it was under such circumstances that Ying released part of the seal in her body for the first time.

Now, after Nangong Ya fell into a coma, the purification power began to spontaneously purify this severely polluted space of consciousness.

"It feels so comfortable... like a seed buried in the soil about to sprout, but she looks like she's okay."

This purifying breath soothed Nashida's frown. She gently hugged the unconscious Nangong Ya and examined her before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, that's good... This should also be Xiaoya's purification power."

Paimon patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ying carried the unconscious Nangong Ya on his back, and everyone walked out of the cave.

A magical scene appeared in front of the three people. Every time Ying carried Nangong Ya forward a step, they could see the land and dead grass not far away coming back to life, and the monsters that appeared here for some unknown reason were also living peacefully.

In the red sky ahead, everyone saw a huge ship.

"That is the boat of consciousness that represents reason. Its direction is the direction in which our consciousness is heading."

Nashida explained while looking at the Boat of Consciousness in the distance.

But at this moment, the boat of consciousness suddenly moved and headed towards them.

"B-but why is it coming towards us?!"

Paimon screamed and hid behind Ying and Nangong Ya.

"Be careful, it's going to hit..."

Nashida gave a warning and used her own power to protect the surroundings.

After a while of shaking, Ying came to her senses and found that they had boarded the boat of consciousness and were heading towards their destination.

Although Nashida didn't know what was going on, she was relieved that the ship of consciousness was heading in the correct direction.

Moreover, with the purification emanating from Nangong Ya, the boat of consciousness did not even deviate from its course, and there was no need for steering at all.

The voyage was not long and everyone was waiting quietly.

And in Ying's mind, a voice always echoed from time to time.

The world... forgot me...

"Traveler, did you hear that sound again? That should be the sound left by the Great Compassion Tree King."

Nashida noticed that Ying was not in a good condition and asked her about it.

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

"Anyway, be sure to stay awake, we will soon reach our destination."

"I hope there won't be any unexpected changes. I should be able to meet the Great Compassion Tree King this time."

Nashida gave this instruction and continued.

"By the way, has Nashida never seen the Great Kindness Tree King?"

Paimon asked curiously. She and Ying had heard the name of the Great Compassion Tree King very often in Xumi.

"No, my birth and her death seemed to be simultaneous."

Narcida shook her head.

"If not, I think she would have been able to give me more guidance, and I would have been able to do better than I am now."

Nashida said this while placing a hand on her chest.

"You've done a great job. Let's go and find her quickly."

Paimon said, pointing at the giant tree that had appeared in front of him.

Just like that, the boat of consciousness slowly docked, and what appeared in front of Ying and the others was a huge tree.

At the dock of the Boat of Consciousness, they can approach along a thick tree root, which is pink all over and has fluffy grass leaves growing on the surface.

The crowd moved forward along the tree roots and soon met a figure in front of them.

"Eh? We, we are here to look for the Great Compassion Tree King, right? But who is standing there?"

Paimon's eyes widened because the figure in front of him looked exactly like Nashida.

"Me...? Exactly like me..."

Seeing that the other person looked exactly like her, Nashida's voice trembled as she quickly stepped forward and asked, "You... are the Great Kindness Tree King?"

"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised by this look?"

A voice that was more mature and steady than Nashida's, but equally gentle, sounded.

"This place recreates the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, but it is still a space of consciousness after all."

"Because you and I are essentially the same, we appear to be exactly the same."

The Great Ci Tree King, who looked exactly like Nashida, walked forward to explain. Her eyes stayed on Nangong Yahao who was carried on Ying's back for a while. After Ying gave her a puzzled look, she smiled and looked away.

"Our essence is... the same?"

Nashida was a little confused.

"Well, because you are me, I am you, and you are my reincarnation."

The Great Compassionate Tree King continued to explain.

“Reincarnation…?”

Nashida looked at the Great Kindness Tree King in confusion.

"I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch of the World Tree."

“Even if a tree dies, if you break off its branches and plant them, they will one day take root and sprout, continuing life in another way.”

The Great Compassionate Tree King simply explained the relationship between himself and Nashida.

This was something Nashida had never thought of before, her own birth...

"The me in front of you is just the remaining consciousness of the Great Compassion Tree King. The real me must have been dead for a long time, right?"

"Being able to see you in person and talk to you like this is something I've been looking forward to since the moment I created you."

The Great Compassionate Tree King looked at Nashida with a smile.

"Can you tell me... about why I was created? And what happened when you died..."

After learning of her own birth, Nashida was eager to know what had happened that year.

"Well, I know you're here to seek answers, right?"

"On the day it happened, even the sky changed color..."

In response to Nashida's questioning, the Great Tree King explained the situation of the Kanreya disaster that year.

However, the Great Tree King did not participate in the Kanreya War because her mission at the time was to protect the World Tree.

But when she arrived, the World Tree had already been eroded by forbidden knowledge...
