Genshin Impact: I am the law of nature, not your wife!

No wonder Paimon was so surprised that he stuttered. At the foot of the World Tree stood a person who looked exactly like Nashida.

Anyone would be surprised.

"Are you... the Great Kindness Tree King?" Nashida took a step forward, with great doubt in her small eyes.

"Yeah, that's me. Does this look... surprise you?"

The Great Tree King looked at Nashida and accidentally spotted a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

The same white hair, the same golden eyes...

Ye Yu put her index finger on her lips and shook her head gently, indicating not to reveal her identity.

Hiding his surprise in his heart, the Great Compassionate Tree King slowly spoke.

"I know why you're here. You're here to seek [answers], right?"

"Wait a minute, please tell me first, why are you exactly like me?"

Since the day she was brought back to the Pure Palace by the sages of the Ministry of Education, the name of the god Nashida heard most often was the Great Kindness Tree King.

The sages constantly compared her with the Great Compassionate Tree King, and Nashida herself regarded her as a role model and a goal to emulate.

Now the Great Tree King is standing in front of her in her own appearance. How can Nashida not be curious?

"Because you and I are essentially the same."

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

"You mean, I... am actually you?" asked Nashida.

"That's not accurate. The branch will eventually grow into a towering tree, but it won't be exactly the same as the original one."

"Sooner or later, you will become a god greater than me."

At this moment, all of Nashida's efforts seemed to be recognized.

"You... really think so?"

"Well, I see in you the will that I don't have. From the moment I broke off the branch, I believed it." The Great Compassionate Tree King smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, King Daicishu. I am very happy to see you like this."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

After untying the knot in her heart, Nashida felt as if she had unloaded the huge stone that had been weighing on her heart for many years.

"That was a disaster that befell the country called [Kanria]..."

The Great Compassionate Tree King looked towards the crown of the World Tree and told the unknown past.

"Kan Ruiya..."

Ye Yu murmured softly.

From outside the world, he gained the power to deny the world, but it also brought disaster upon him.

Along with the disaster came [pollution], which the Great Compassionate Tree King called [forbidden knowledge].

Forbidden knowledge will continue to erode the World Tree. If the World Tree is completely contaminated by it, the entire Teyvat will fall apart.

This is not the first time that the Great Compassion Tree King has faced [Forbidden Knowledge]. Thousands of years ago, she governed it together with the Red King of the Desert.

The void was born from this.

The Great Compassionate Tree King believes that dreams are the crystallization of human wisdom.

Using the void, the Great Compassionate Tree King borrowed people's dreams and controlled the wisdom of the people of Xumi. In addition, she contributed all her strength and finally expelled the [Forbidden Knowledge] from the World Tree.

"What exactly is [Forbidden Knowledge]?" Nashida couldn't help but be curious.

"It is knowledge from outside the world, a truth that cannot be understood."

Recalling the contents of [Forbidden Knowledge], the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Just like now, I thought I had expelled all the [Forbidden Knowledge] from the World Tree, but I haven't. I myself am the incarnation of the World Tree."

"[Forbidden Knowledge] not only polluted the World Tree, but also polluted me."

"Even though I'm long dead, my existence, and all the knowledge and memories related to me, are all preserved in the World Tree. As long as concepts related to the Great Compassionate Tree King exist, the Forbidden Knowledge cannot be completely erased from the World Tree."

“And I can’t erase myself, which is a paradox.”

"So I created you, just waiting for you, now connected to the World Tree, to completely erase my existence from the World Tree."

To erase existence from the World Tree, Nashida knew what that meant.

It means that there will be nothing about the Great Compassion Tree King in the world anymore. No one will remember her, as if she never existed in the world.

Nashida couldn't believe that she was born just to personally wipe out the [Great Kindness Tree King]?

"No! Wait, this isn't right...it shouldn't be like this..."

"Haha, Buyer, before that miraculous rain arrives, this is indeed the only way to save the World Tree and save the world."

The Great Tree King comforted Nashida, who was a little agitated.

"But now, it's different. Do you want to know the full picture of the information I delivered?"

"It is—a rebirth of nirvana amidst the rising fire of catastrophe."

An illusory little bird flew down from the branches of the World Tree, as if it had walked out of Liyue's ink painting.

The Great Merciful Tree King stretched out her hand, and the little bird stood in her palm, looking so adorable with its head tilted.

Ying and Paimon were stunned on the spot.

Because of that little bird, they knew each other!

Paimon rubbed his eyes and pinched his cheeks to make sure it was not an illusion.

After feeling the pain, Paimon's eyes almost emitted a tangible light, and his voice was extremely excited.

"Ying, it's her, it's really her!!!"

“We found her!!!”

Tears unconsciously slid down from the corners of her eyes. Ying opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

His steps were like those of a baby who was just learning to walk. He staggered so much that he fell three times after every step.

When the bird saw Ying, it immediately spread its wings, flew away from the palm of the Great Tree King, stood on Ying's shoulder, and used its wings to wipe away her tears.

"I finally found you..."

Ying's voice was filled with grievance and longing. She held the bird in her palm and smiled like a child.

After rubbing against Ying twice, the bird flew high into the sky, uttering a loud cry, and transformed into a burning phoenix, rushing straight towards the World Tree!

Bear!

The World Tree was instantly ignited, and flames shot up into the sky!

The firelight highlighted the doctor's face wearing a bird-beak mask and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

It is the famous scene in the PV where "the doctor burns the tree".

Although he was facing the flames, he could not feel any heat at all. A trace of ominous aura emanated from the World Tree, and then turned to ashes in the flames.

The merciless flames devoured every corner of the World Tree, but it remained lush and green.

"I see. Is there really anyone who would do such a stupid thing?"

Although he said this, the doctor still offered the highest etiquette that only scholars can offer to the flame.

That's a sign of admiration.

He seemed to have found the answer he was looking for, the answer to changing the world...

The flames burn more and more vigorously, and the World Tree will eventually be reborn in the endless fire!

The void is stirring, the fire of catastrophe is rising, bathing in the fire of catastrophe, new life will be released!
