Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

(As everyone knows, high school Chinese is all classical Chinese, and we have to memorize the whole text. This fills our heads with classical Chinese, leaving little time to improve our writing skills. You can only say that it's passable.)

Chen Xi said that this annoying cycle was finally over, and several hours had been wasted.

When Chen Xi opened her eyes again, she was already lying in bed, with another "scholar" who had also woken up beside her.

Chen Xi's intuition was very accurate. Seeing the "scholar" facing him, he assumed the man was awake and called out, "Brother?"

The "scholar" got out of bed, put on his clothes, and said, "Well, it's good for your health to get up and walk around now that you're awake."

Chen Xi was a little disappointed: "Oh..."

"Can you tell me how to cure Demon Scales?"

The "scholar," while organizing the documents on the table, said, "The Demon Scale Disease is caused by forbidden knowledge. With Sumeru's current medical equipment and environment, it can only be suppressed, not eradicated. Unless..."

Chen Xi continued, "Unless forbidden knowledge disappears from Sumeru?" Just as I thought, the original plot was to purify the World Tree, and then those who had the Demon Scale Disease would recover. Judging from the current situation, we can only wait for the Traveler to solve it.

The scholar replied calmly, "Yes, but that's almost impossible."

the other side

Sora and Paimon woke up, their minds a jumbled mess. Paimon yawned, "Whew—! Good morning, Traveler, it feels like I slept for ages..."

Kong stretched lazily and greeted Paimon casually, "Good morning, Paimon."

The two recalled all their memories and immediately removed the Void Terminals from their ears, but this device kept them trapped in the cycle of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.

Realizing that Dina Zede had suddenly disappeared from her bed, the two immediately ran to her temporary residence to look for her, but they couldn't find her.

Then he ran to a small village outside the city, to the place where he first met Naxida.

There, they indeed saw Dina Zede, who had just woken up, and Nasita, who was controlling Catherine's body.

The four exchanged a few words, and Dina Zede guessed from Naxida's words that she was the Little Lucky Grass King.

Dina Zede was overjoyed to see them. She said she had just had a dream in which Nel was dancing the "Dance of the Flower Goddess".

Kong and Paimon exchanged bewildered glances. It was clear that the translucent Dinazede they saw later was not something they had imagined, but rather her true consciousness.

Just as they were about to ask some questions, Nasita, citing Dinazedai's mental weakness, led them to a place she often visited in her dreams and told the travelers what had happened.

On the last day of the Flower Goddess's birthday festival, after they parted ways, Narcida went outside the city and saw the scene the traveler had described. Among countless dreams, Narcida found one that was gradually fading away, which perfectly confirmed her conjecture.

When Dina Zede becomes completely unable to withstand the Void's exploitation of her dreams, her consciousness will dissipate, thus escaping the Void's control. However, the remaining trace of consciousness cannot last long; she will return to her original dream, fading away along with it until it disappears completely.

Nasita did everything in her power to maintain Dinazede's dream, but it wouldn't last long. Fortunately, Sora and Paimon broke the "cycle" in time.

Kong then asked Nasita about the scenes he saw while he was unconscious in Daocheng Forest...

Paimon added, "Kong was unconscious at this time due to the influence of the incense in Daocheng Forest. While he was unconscious, he saw a huge tree and a red sky..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nasita asked, "You also heard someone's voice, didn't you? The keywords were 'world' and 'forgotten'?"

...the world...forgot me...

Chen Xi knew that the complete quote was from the Great Tree King: "To save the world, please forget me."

The death of the Great Tree King was truly painful... Mihoyo feels restless if he doesn't release a slasher every day.

Paimon's eyes lit up: "That's right! You really knew! We've been wanting to ask you what that was, and whether the red sky is related to Kanria..."

Nasita looked up at the sky and sighed, "It seems the traveler has connected with the World Tree. It's a message left by the consciousness of the Great Tree King in the World Book, or perhaps his last memory before his death."

The Great Tree King was a wise and virtuous god, and Nasita had always taken her as her role model. That's why she felt that she hadn't done enough and that she was not qualified to be the grass god of Mount Sumeru.

Nasita: "As you all know, the Great Tree King disappeared after the Cataclysm in Kanria, so the timing does match up, and your suspicions are not without reason."

Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually information left behind by the Great Tree King? We thought it was that Red King before!"

Nasita was puzzled: "Red King... that demon god who died even earlier?"

"There are still some desert subjects of that Red King in Xinyang. You may have heard some rumors about him."

Paimon scratched his head: "Is that so? Then... what exactly does that message mean?"

Nasita stated that she herself could not understand it: "...I cannot decipher it yet, not even with the current capabilities of the Void. The consciousness of the Great Tree King remaining in the Book of Worlds is like being 'contaminated,' containing an extremely dangerous aura. Even many scholars who cultivate, once their consciousness connects with it, will completely descend into madness... Despite my repeated warnings to the Council, there are still victims."

As a scholar of the origins, Chen Xi can tell them with certainty that this is due to the contamination of forbidden knowledge.

Nasita said very seriously, "However, I believe that the key to saving the World Tree lies in it, so I have never given up on deciphering it."

It was precisely because the World Tree was so important that Nasita allowed the sages to manage Sumeru in reality, but she never expected that all the people in Sumeru City would be trapped in the cycle of the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival by the Void Terminal.

Paimon: "Was that tree in the hallucination the World Tree? Tinari also said that the World Tree was 'sick,' does that mean it was 'contaminated'?"

Paimon's tone was slightly disappointed: "But even you don't know the meaning of that illusion, so we came all this way for nothing..."

Nasita gazed into the void, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "The 'consciousness' the traveler encountered remained completely unaffected. This is the first time I've ever met someone like this. Perhaps with you here, we might have a chance to decipher it..."

“No, we absolutely must decipher its secret. I’ve ruled out all other factors that could affect the World Tree, leaving only this one. This is a ‘puzzle’ that’s a gamble with the World Tree… with the very survival of Teyvat…”

Chen Xi felt like she was being driven crazy, frantically shaking the system's shoulders: "Ah—! Why is the plot progressing so slowly? Do you have any items that allow you to skip parts of the story?"

System: "Yes, but it requires... Originium..."

Chen Xi checked his inventory of raw stones and asked, "Is 161 raw stones enough? If not, I'll go to the Northern Bank another day to get some more!"
