I picked up this little grass god.

This year's Flower Goddess Birthday Festival was the same as in previous years. With the end of the Flower Goddess Dance, the lively celebration quickly came to an end.

Afterwards, Liu Bai and Nashida said goodbye to the guests who came to Xumi.

"..."

Pantalone fell silent as he looked at the seven divine hearts on Liu Bai's body.

However, he did not ask too many questions, and was teleported back to Winterfell with the help of Liu Bai.

At this point, the two major events of Xumi came to an end, and the guests left Xumi one after another.

"Wow? You're really still alive?"

Ruoli, who was about to return to Liyue with everyone in Liyue, was stopped by Apep. Her first reaction was fright.

"Huh? Didn't I just go on stage yesterday? Didn't you see me?"

Apep looked at Ruoli in confusion. When King Dacishu stepped down yesterday, she went there specifically to pick him up.

"I was just busy eating..."

Ruoli explained with an evasive look.

"But it's good that you're alive, sister. In fact, I came here yesterday with the intention of eating your feast, and I was very sad."

Then Ruoli said with a relieved look.

"Then why are you just busy eating..."

"By the way, I heard from Boyer that you were building a palace?"

Apep was speechless, but he didn't care too much and asked Ruoli.

Once upon a time, the seven dragon kings all had their own palaces. Although some of them cannot be called palaces, the meaning is almost the same.

As for Apep's own palace, it had long since turned to dust when the woods turned to sand.

"Yes, I want to build a palace more magnificent than Sky Island."

Ruoli nodded affirmatively.

"Interesting, I'll go visit it some other day."

Apep's eyes lit up. It was a rare occasion for him to encounter something that interested him.

Although she now has a job collecting pollution from power plants, she is actually still very idle most of the time, almost the same as before.

"That's great. I just happen to be short of manpower. Let's dig together!"

Ruoli immediately nodded and agreed.

"..."

Faced with Ruoli's proposal, Apep fell silent.

She has been digging in the desert for thousands of years, and she is almost evolving into a sandworm...

……

After that, Liu Bai and Nashida returned to their daily lives, except that the place they lived in became their bridal chamber in Jingshan Palace.

Occasionally, the two of them would return to the small white house to rest. After all, the Great Ci Tree King and Apep were still living in the Jingshan Palace, and sometimes they would still feel embarrassed.

Although the fetus in Nashida's belly was obviously developing more slowly than a human fetus, after so many months, Nashida's belly began to swell more noticeably.

In order not to disturb the development of the fetus, Nashida had to start abstaining from sex for a period of time, one month after the birthday of the flower goddess.

After losing his favorite thing, Liu Bai had to use other things to divert his attention, such as staying close to Nashida's belly every day to listen to the movements of the fetus.

"Hmm...Girl, I think I hear the sound of our baby's engine."

Putting his ear against Nashida's belly, Liu Bai suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

"?"

"That's the Ministry of Education testing a new engine, not the baby's voice."

Nashida tilted her head and pushed Liu Bai's head away in annoyance.

"The engine of the House of the Lord?"

Liu Bai raised his head in confusion.

"Well, the new version of the engine combines the original elemental force application technology of the Ministry of Education, and uses elemental force to drive the vehicle. It is more environmentally friendly than the original oil-burning engine."

Nashida explained to Liu Bai.

Teyvat already has a large amount of energy technology that utilizes elemental force. Combined with the engine technology from another world, it is not difficult to create an engine that uses elemental force.

"According to the idea of ​​the Ministry of Education, if a car equipped with the new engine is given to someone with the Eye of God and powered by itself, it can travel 100 kilometers with only a few steamed buns."

Nashida added another sentence after she finished speaking.

"Oh...but if that's the case, wouldn't I have to buy a person with divine eyes to serve as a battery when I buy a car next time?"

Liu Bai nodded, but soon thought of this again.

"How is that possible? Besides, you can't buy it even if you want to. The current idea of ​​the Ministry of Education is to use a hybrid power system, powered by both elemental power and electricity."

"Compared to the pollution caused by burning oil when vehicles are running, the pollution caused by electricity production is completely controllable. I will collect all of it and let Apep collect it, and then throw it into the abyss."

"In addition, my mother has also developed a device similar to canned knowledge with the Ministry of Education, called canned elemental power. Although it is still very expensive, it can help people without the Eye of God to drive vehicles for a long time without worrying about not being able to recharge outside the city."

Nashida continued to explain, then took Liu Bai's hand and walked out of the room.

Soon, the two arrived at the site where the engine was tested.

Since Nashida had previously demonstrated a gas-powered vehicle whose performance was far superior to today's pack animal carts, the scholars responsible for improving the engine were very optimistic about the engine's application prospects.

Most of the people present were scholars from the Sulun School and the Miaolun School. Even the sages of the two schools were present. However, because they were too focused on observing the engine data, they did not notice the arrival of Liu Bai and Nashida.

"As expected of a country of wisdom, it's really amazing..."

Liu Bai looked at the engine being tested and couldn't help but mutter.

"But girl, since the car is almost ready, shouldn't the traffic rules be updated as well?"

After looking at the engine for a while, Liu Bai turned around and made a suggestion to Nashida.

"I've thought of this and have given it to Elhaisen to draft a new traffic rule. It will be announced before the vehicle goes on sale."

Nashida nodded and explained.

With the support of the God of Wisdom from behind, the engine was successfully developed before long.

On the other hand, after several versions of revisions, Elhaisen finally submitted a draft of traffic rules that satisfied the two grass gods.

The draft mentioned that driving a vehicle is a technically difficult act, unlike driving a beast of burden, which has almost no threshold. Therefore, it is proposed that only those who have passed the examination of the Ministry of Education and obtained a driver's license can drive on the road.

Otherwise, once caught by the Thirty Man Mercenaries or Disciplinary Officers, the vehicle will be directly confiscated and a fine will be imposed.

In addition to these, many original rules are also retained, such as driving on the right side of the road, and pack animals and horse-drawn carriages on the main roads would also abide by these rules.

When it comes to driving licenses, when setting up the examination venue and selecting examiners, Nashida thought of a good candidate.

……

In the month since the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival, Ying and her friends have been adventuring in the Xumi Rainforest, and accidentally met some little guys named Lannaro.

However, since all the crises in the Xumi Rainforest had long been resolved by the two grass gods, treasure hunting became the main fun of the adventure in Xumi, except for accidentally entering dangerous ruins.

This also meant that Ying's Chen Ge pot was filled with enough four-pointed star stones to form a small hill, but no one knew what they were for.

These stones are transparent light blue as a whole, but there seems to be a layer of colorful light on them, making them look very beautiful.

However, these stones cannot be carved and will disappear completely if damaged. Therefore, Ying still cannot find a way to use them. If she wants to use them as ornaments, she has to spend money to hire someone to build a frame to put them in.

She thought that if these things were really useless, she could just bury them somewhere.

"Traveler, long time no see, how are you these days?"

Just as Ying was sitting on a big mushroom in the dense forest thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

When I looked back, I found that it was Nashida, and her belly was obviously swollen.

"Eh? Nashida, why are you here? Sit down."

Ying was a little surprised. Knowing that Nashida was pregnant, she quickly stood up and helped Nashida sit down.

"I came here specifically to see you...but where are Paimon and Krevy?"

Nashida explained and sat down on the big mushroom. Then she looked around curiously and asked doubtfully after noticing that Paimon and Crevy were missing.

"They went out to play with their Lanaro friends."

Ying explained it briefly.

"That's it."

Narcida nodded.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Could it be... the test we talked about last time?"

After answering Nashida's question, Ying couldn't help but ask.

The last time she asked Nashida about her brother, but Nashida refused to answer her on the grounds that he had not passed the test of God yet.

"Well, if you think it's a test, it's okay... I'm here to ask you to be the principal of the driving school."

Nashida thought for a moment, then nodded and explained to Ying.

"The dean of the driving school...?"

Ying was obviously stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard this word in Teyvat.

"Yes, you are someone who has traveled across the universe and across the sea of ​​stars. You must have seen similar organizations in the worlds you passed through, so I think you are very suitable for this job."

Nashida replied affirmatively.

"Is that so... If I agree, can you answer my questions?"

Ying could accept the job anyway, since there were helicopters in Teyvat, and Klee even had her own private helicopter.

"Of course you can, but you have to run the driving school well later. When you leave Xumi, help find someone new to take over the driving school."

Narcida nodded.

In this situation, she no longer minds telling Ying the secrets hidden in the World Tree, and she doesn't need to worry about possible punishment from heaven.

"Okay, I agree. I want to know what my brother experienced in Teyvat and why he joined the Cult of the Abyss."

Ying agreed without hesitation and asked Nashida.

"Well, wait a moment..."

After getting Ying's agreement, Nashida nodded with satisfaction, then closed her eyes and sank her consciousness into the World Tree.

Now, as her own power grows, she has gradually gained high enough authority in the World Tree to find some hidden contents and ignore special restrictions.

"The Adventer..."

That is something that cannot be recorded by the World Tree.

But it just couldn't be recorded directly. Nashida used another method to circumvent the restrictions of the World Tree.

The World Tree cannot record the Adventers, but human memories can, so Nashida chose to explore the human memories stored on the World Tree, especially the memories of the Kanreya people.

The memories of the Kanriya people on the World Tree are basically restricted by the laws of nature, but Nashida already has the authority to unlock these restrictions, interpret those memories one by one, and find out about the Adventers.

"I see……"

After a long time, Nashida, who had figured out all the situations, opened her eyes again. Ying was waiting anxiously beside her.

"Do you remember how you and your brother came to Teyvat?"

Nashida opened her eyes and suddenly asked Ying.

"Coming to Teyvat... I don't quite remember. When I woke up, my brother was about to take me away from Teyvat."

Ying shook her head in confusion.

She originally lacked a lot of memories, although her memories gradually recovered as her strength recovered.

"Then let's start from the beginning."

"Once upon a time, there was a glorious kingdom in heaven..."

Nashida began to explain to Ying.

This was the content before the Adventers arrived in Teyvat, and it should have been impossible for the people of Teyvat to know it. But at the beginning, the blond traveler had told the king of Kanreya about his experience, and this was exactly what Nashida turned out from the king's memory.

They are the remnants of a lost kingdom of glory, shouldering the responsibility of a world.

Their world is lost, but as long as they carry their memories with them to a new world, that world will be recorded forever.

They searched for a new home among the stars, crossed thousands of starry seas, and finally landed in Teyvat.

As fate would have it, the blond boy woke up first. He was greeted by the Black King of Kanreya, who took him back to the palace.

He felt the kindness of the people of Kanreya, bent down and took up the pillars of the earth, and from being the king of the world he became the hope of just one country.

In this way, he became the crown prince of Kanreya.

Later, the Black King took him step by step down to the deepest part of the kingdom.

His power has long been known. The Black King regarded the crown prince as a vessel for infinitely absorbing the power of the abyss. For the sake of Kanriya, the crown prince did not choose to resist. Of course, he might have resisted, but it would be of no use.

But the power of the crown prince eventually encountered an unexpected situation, and the infinitely absorbed power of the abyss exploded in Kanreya.

On the other hand, a young knight called the Sword of Last Light, in order to save his brother who was imprisoned and blinded for offering a prophecy of destruction, he gathered the capable people of the time to prepare for a prison break.

When going deep underground, the Sword of Last Light only found the crown prince who was used as a container. Under the influence of the power of the abyss, it had to take him with it to escape from the underground. However, those who were summoned by the Sword of Last Light accepted the power of the abyss underground and became the sinners who later caused the complete destruction of Kanreya.

As the disaster broke out completely, Tianli summoned the Seven Gods to fight against the abyss, and asked the Ruler of Death to curse the whole Kanriyan people for the undead that almost caused the destruction of the world.

After that battle, the Seven Gods suffered heavy losses, and Tenri fell into a coma after fighting against the main power of the Abyss.

Fortunately, the power of the abyss was later pacified.

The crown prince who was rescued by the Sword of Last Light escaped from the destroyed Kanrea and began a journey in Teyvat.

During this period, there is also an incident in which the crown prince wakes up his unconscious sister and tries to take her away from Teyvat but is stopped.

However, since there were no witnesses to this incident and the memories of the Maintainer of Justice were not recorded by the World Tree, Nashida had no idea at what exact time it happened.

"Perhaps it is the power of the abyss that has caused your brother to lose his nobility. He is no longer considered an Adventer."

At the end, Nashida added another sentence.

……
