Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

He inexplicably thought of a certain otaku girl from Inazuma and a certain celebrity next door, and Lin Feng suddenly discovered that these people seemed to have a tacit understanding in their love for desserts.

"Hmm? Come to think of it, desserts seem to be quite popular among the gods.

If you go to other countries in the future, why not prepare some more as gifts?"

Because the scene of Nashida eating was so healing, my thoughts wandered inexplicably.

When you are done eating, pass it to me and eat it.

After feeding half a basket of snacks, facing the little guy's accusing look of "What on earth do you want to feed me", Lin Feng realized that he seemed to have accidentally fed too much.

A moment later, the meditation platform was moved to the side area of ​​Jingshan Palace.

After confirming that the announcement had been released that the gods had urgent matters to attend to, and that all approval work would be temporarily handled by the Zhilun faction sage Elhaisen,

Lin Feng also took Nashida to place the golden can of knowledge on the meditation platform originally used by the Great Compassion Tree King.

Not only because this place has the largest space and has a certain connection with the Great Kindness Tree King,

At this moment when it is necessary to shield against external interference, the Void Body Server that has been moved here can also help Nashida reduce some of the burden in her subsequent journey of consciousness.

"Om-"

He waved his hand to release the elemental barrier he had set up to protect the void device, and placed the consciousness container that was originally planned to be decoded by Cao Lei's two divine hearts on a circular platform.

It was the last moment before the action. Lin Feng looked at Nashida who seemed to be a little doubtful and uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, he rubbed the little girl's head, walked up to her, bent down slightly, looked directly at the cross pattern in her emerald green pupils, and spoke in a gentle tone:

"—Just ask anything you want to ask. Don't worry, I haven't left any room for unexpected situations this time."

"——Originally, I could have entered this consciousness space with just two God Hearts, but I have waited until now to take action.

If I'm not 100% sure, I won't do it."

After practicing with Andrius, he simulated countless possible unexpected situations in his consciousness space.

Now, even though the Great Compassion Tree King is too damaged, Lin Feng is confident that he can temporarily seal this consciousness intact before it dissipates.

With the support of this backup measure, no matter whether the subsequent body shaping is successful or not, at least he has countless opportunities to try.

".I don't have anything to ask. I trust your judgment."

".I just wonder what she would think of me if she knew what I've been through in the past five hundred years."

After all, before meeting the person in front of you, you are like a mirror placed in a dark cave. Not only does it not shine itself, it doesn't even have the chance to reflect light.

Even the brightest pearl at night needs to absorb enough light during the day.

In order to wait for such a sun that was willing to always shine on her, she spent five hundred years in darkness.

"How about asking her?"

"In such an unfavorable environment, you were able to grow into the outstanding person you are today. At least I think she should be proud of your persistence."

He gently took Nashida's hand and placed it on the golden jar of knowledge.

Make sure all preparations are complete.

Lin Feng, whose power was far beyond what was needed to enter, mobilized his own grass elemental power, combined with the void and the heart of God,

In a state that was many times stronger than the creator's expectations, he embarked on a journey of consciousness with Nashida by his side to meet the previous "Buyer".

Chapter 430 Tree King: Destiny is the ultimate knowledge, so those who come here will be blonde

"Boom——"

Under the dilapidated purple-red sky, the huge ship of consciousness roared, carrying its two passengers through the blockade of numerous flying monsters.

Beside the two of them, the scene outside the barrier perfectly illustrates what the end of the world is.

Not only were black and purple deformed tree tumors and beast realm monsters seen everywhere, but even the color of the entire sky was frozen in a dusk that looked like it was stained with blood.

For some reason, even though Lin Feng had almost completely cleared out the forbidden knowledge in the Sumeru Earth Vein, within the Tree King's consciousness space, time still seemed to have stopped forever on the day she chose to sacrifice herself.

".So sad, so painful."

"Crazy, confused, helpless. Is this her consciousness? Surprisingly..."

Standing on the edge of the Boat of Consciousness, Nashida looked at the many black hounds roaming the wasteland below with a complicated expression.

I never imagined that the Tree King's dream would collapse into this state.

Even if she just tried to resonate with the owner of this consciousness space for a moment, the next moment her heart was filled with overwhelming fatigue and despair.

"."

Bow your head and remain silent,

I found that this feeling was even several times stronger than the loneliness I had experienced in the past five hundred years.

Although she knew best what her past self was like, Nashida had no idea how the Tree King had been able to survive here for hundreds of years.

"That's enough, don't force yourself."

I had anticipated the scene here.

Lin Feng, who had been observing the outside world, patted Nashida's shoulder from behind, signaling her to relax a little:

"The power of the abyss is not compatible with gods like you who have authority over plants and trees. Even Apep can't make good use of it. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable here."

"Based on the time when the Tree King died, the scene here should be the Xumi Earth five hundred years ago, which was the period when the abyss was most severely polluted."

"However, the most profound impression was actually made by this thing. I guess she still hasn't been able to get over the shadow of the past war in these five hundred years."

Stepping onto the edge of the boat of consciousness, which symbolizes rational thinking,

Under the dusk sky that seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of blood, monsters of various shapes and forms were wreaking havoc below.

In this desperate scene where it seems as if the world is on fire, Lin Feng, who has now come here in the form of a conscious body, can feel even more deeply how profound the disaster that the Kanriya disaster brought to the world in the past was.

".But even after experiencing the disaster of Kanriya, she should have done her best to successfully quell the disaster. Why is there still such a scene in her consciousness?

The emotions I feel here are completely different from what she described in the records."

Whenever the Great Compassion Tree King is mentioned, the void and any paper documents will praise her wisdom and greatness.

He is the image of a wise man who can always find the best solution, is always calm, gentle, and seems to be omnipotent.

But after actually coming here, Nashida discovered that the confusion, fear, and pain in the other person's heart were even more obvious than when she was locked up.

"Do you think this is different from the Tree King you imagined?"

".But this is not an isolated case. Aren't all of you gods like this?"

He discovered that Nashida beside him had finally shed her idol filter for the Tree King and began to view this deified abstract concept as an individual.

Faced with this almost defenseless exposed consciousness space, Lin Feng, who was more perceptive of the surrounding emotions, was not surprised by what he saw:

"Gods also feel fear, sadness, and loneliness. You should know this best."

“Although in the eyes of the people, gods are omnipotent and possess superhuman wisdom,

But beneath that illusory concept recorded in the scriptures, I think everyone is essentially just 'playing' the role of a god."

".Play?"

Looking at the space of consciousness in front of her and recalling her experiences over the past five hundred years, Nashida paused and suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Yes."

Lin Feng patted the little guy's head and sighed slightly:

"Just like the title of 'brave' among humans never belongs solely to those without fear. Many of them simply bury their fear deep in the grave for something more noble."

"You were born with an unimaginably heavy responsibility. Therefore, even if you face death, you cannot allow yourself to show even the slightest hesitation in front of the people."

"But no matter how they appear outwardly, gods also have all the emotions that humans have.

After sacrificing his own life,

Since no one is paying attention anymore, the Tree King here probably no longer has to play the perfect role of being fearless and without hesitation."

".Really, it's so lonely."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Nashida lowered her head slightly, with complex and incomprehensible emotions in her eyes.

"Yeah, lonely. You two have always been the same in this respect."

Just like two branches growing from the same root, even though they grow at different times, the processes they go through are always very similar.

He gently took Nashida's hand, stretched out her tense fingers, and placed them between his own hands.

Lin Feng looked at the destination not far away, and his tone was filled with emotion:

"Different countries, different gods, all have different sorrows."

"But for the Tree King and you, your deepest experience is probably loneliness."

"Xumeru's situation is somewhat special after all. The Tree King was obtained and then lost again, but you never had it.

Because she no longer had anyone she could rely on, she was perhaps the loneliest god in all of Teyvat, guarding Mount Sumeru at that time."

"."

After a brief pause, the boat of consciousness was nearing its destination.

Standing up from where I was, I looked ahead at the winding path covered with cherry blossom petals.

Although Lin Feng's words gradually became gentler, they also carried a bit of determination that Nashida rarely felt:

"But loneliness isn't eternal. The memories you've experienced eventually become part of who you are today. Changing or abandoning them will make you less like yourself."

"That's why, now that I'm here, I will never allow two people who have only been lonely once to become one who will remain lonely forever.

Although such an outcome may seem to temporarily resolve the crisis, it is nothing more than a greater tragedy.”

He gently touched Nashida's head, who seemed to understand but not quite.

At least for him, no matter what the reason was, Lin Feng would not let this cute little guy leave him like this.

at the same time.

Ahead of the path, the world tree in the dream.

It has been an unknown amount of time, but this dead silent world finally showed signs of being touched again.

A pink and purple dreamy light sprinkled down, and beneath the world tree that looked like countless suspended wood pieces, a suspended emerald green ball of light trembled slightly, as if it had finally woken up from an endless long dream.

When the dreamer wakes up, the world will respond.

The next moment, emerald green light spots, like fireflies in the night sky, emerged from the veins of the earth that were sprinkled with pink petals.

As if it had used up all its strength, these light spots surrounded the floating light ball, and it took a long time before they slowly condensed into a slightly illusory shape.

".Is there someone coming?"

".Finally, it looks like my time has come."

After being silent for hundreds of years, some people are not very skilled in expressing their thoughts with words.

The white-haired figure with a side ponytail slowly raised her head. Judging from her facial features, she looked exactly like Nashida who had arrived here at that moment.

"Your progress seems a little slow, but to have persevered until today, 'my reincarnated self', is already quite remarkable."

He lowered his head to look at his current appearance, and touched the flying petals with his hands.

It had been a long time since she had felt this real, and she felt a little nostalgic as she savored the last bit of time before it disappeared.

"What's going on in the outside world? Where is the young man I saw in the Sea of ​​Dreams last time?"

"While I was away, did everything in the outside world develop as planned?

However, since someone has come, it should still become that bad appearance."

As the manager of the World Tree, the Grass God's lineage has far greater authority than ordinary demon gods.

She knew much more about the secrets of this world than her colleagues.

She had foreseen her final outcome long ago, but now that the time of "liberation" was approaching, she inexplicably felt a sense of reluctance:

——Although she had already decided to disappear completely, she never felt any reluctance or unwillingness.

Apart from the happy times at the beginning, the past thousand years have been busy dealing with various crises that could endanger the world.

At the moment before she disappeared, she suddenly wanted to see the world today and wanted to spend more time with Nashida.
