Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

".But, this kind of thing is not allowed after all."

"As a role model for my juniors, I must stay focused and leave them with a final, positive impression."

"I failed to fulfill my duty as a senior to accompany him, so I shouldn't let that little guy bear the guilt of my disappearance when making the decision.

As the "Tree King" in her heart, I have to be open-minded and optimistic, and even get what I want."

I have almost completely forgotten my original image, and can only try to put on a smile with the help of the little guy's appearance.

The purpose of this smile is to usher in one's own demise.

Since I failed to fulfill my responsibility of accompanying my child, even if I will be forgotten in the end, I will treat it as my last effort, at least to leave a positive example for the little one.

I forced myself to let go of the last bit of reluctance in my heart and found a fairly satisfactory expression for myself.

Finally I can put an end to this loneliness that has lasted for thousands of years.

Even though she knew that her disappearance would be complete, she suddenly became curious whether the darkness that once enveloped her friends in that empty place where there was nothing would be gentler than the darkness here.

On the edge of the path, pink and purple grass covered the tree roots.

Lin Feng held Nashida's hand, and in order not to destroy this dream that was on the verge of breaking, he walked slowly forward in a normal way for the first time in a long time.

Judging from the weakness of the surrounding area, it is clear that the Tree King's activity space is probably only a small part of the core area.

Considering the plot that almost completely ignored the conversation with the travelers, he thought that the Tree King at this moment probably couldn't even confirm the number of visitors.

"It's worse than I imagined. I'm afraid after a while, the only remaining ability to communicate with others will be completely lost."

The scenery around him was beautiful. The sky during the Kanriya disaster had a strange and dreamy feeling to him.

But from the perspective of the tree king, this pink and purple sky may represent a nightmare that will never go away.

"We're almost there."

Lin Feng could already see the towering crimson tree ahead. He paused slightly, unsure how this meeting would unfold.

"Although I can roughly predict how she will appear,

But I don’t know how the Tree King will react when he sees me, and I don’t know if the one I saw in the dream sea before is actually her.”

Both of them were projected into this dream in the form of conscious bodies. In order to reduce the pressure on the Tree King as much as possible, Lin Feng didn't even bring in any strength, but was ready to transmit at any time.

In order to minimize the impact of forbidden knowledge on the outside world, the remaining fragments of the Tree King's consciousness were sealed in a world tree space that was almost completely isolated from the main body.

Although it was unclear how much information about the outside world she could obtain under such circumstances, Lin Feng believed that as long as she was still thinking about isolating herself from forbidden knowledge, it would not be too much anyway.

"."

The hand he was holding felt a little resistance, and Nashida seemed to have stopped behind him.

Knowing that he was about to meet the person he had always admired, the little guy was inevitably a little nervous.

Lin Feng turned around and gave her an encouraging look, indicating that she could leave everything to him.

At the foot of the giant tree, there is a platform made of tree roots.

With the remaining memories, a tea table was set up for afternoon tea, and the Tree King, appearing in the image of Nashida, was waiting quietly here.

I had seen two figures walking together from afar, and although I was a little surprised by the intimate gesture of "myself" holding hands with the others,

But looking at this scene, she became more certain of the vague prophecies she knew:

".Destiny is the ultimate knowledge, but unfortunately, even if we know it, it won't bring us the joy of finding the answer."

".The disaster has finally arrived. To prevent the world from burning, the golden-haired traveler will embark on a journey, and I will also face the destined oblivion.

So this time it was indeed "

???

"Blonde hair? Hmm? Something seems off?"

I paused, and suddenly realized that everything before me was different from what I expected. I didn't know how to describe it.

The tree king, who had already prepared to disappear, blinked and found that the "ultimate knowledge" of fate sometimes did not seem so reliable.

Chapter 431: Tree King: Sage? Is there something wrong with your sage's stats?

A moment later, a table with three chairs was placed.

Facing the tree king's skeptical expression, he brought the little guy to his side.

Knowing that Nashida had been looking forward to this day for a long time, after Lin Feng came here, he specially reserved some time for the two "Buyer" to reminisce about the past.

Of course, even though they looked exactly the same, it wasn't too hard for him to recognize the two over there:

——Although the image of the Tree King at this moment is also a blade of grass, the sadness and tenderness in his eyes make people subconsciously feel that he is a woman who is much more mature than he looks.

If Nashida is mostly innocent and well-behaved, then this one will make people unconsciously think of motherhood.

You come and I go, questions and answers,

Because both of them have countless things to say to each other, this scene is not boring at all.

Emotions that had been suppressed for hundreds of years were able to be confided to each other. Lin Feng sat quietly on the side, listening silently as the Tree King gave his blessings to Nashida and explained the reason for her birth as a "new branch".

"."

He paused slightly, stopping his explanation of the forbidden knowledge and the World Tree disaster.

I never thought that the existence I "dreamt" would appear in front of me in this form.

The Tree King thought of the attachment shown by "herself" in front of her. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she was still relieved that Nashida could find someone to rely on.

"."

Before I knew it, the time for chatting was over.

Although there seemed to be a small problem with the divine plan, she was only able to be awake for a short time and she no longer had the extra time to care about these details.

He shook his head slightly. He had just explained clearly the disaster that the World Tree was facing.

Although he didn't know why he had been looking at her with sympathy, the Tree King still planned to give the solution he had prepared long ago:

"—Forbidden knowledge originates from the depths of the Abyss and is incompatible with the original laws of Teyvat. The various disasters that have plagued the outer world of Sumeru over the past five hundred years are largely due to the World Tree's rejection of this knowledge."

".I am truly happy to see you grow up to be what you are today. I also believe that one day in the future, you will become a great god."

"But my existence has long been tainted by forbidden knowledge. If the problem of forbidden knowledge within the World Tree is not resolved, the entirety of Teyvat may fall apart."

Looking up at Nashida,

For some reason, the Tree King found that the "self" in front of him seemed to have anticipated what she would say, and appeared much calmer than he had imagined.

Although she felt a little sad that she was not cared about that much, she still breathed a sigh of relief and said to the little guy in front of her in a tone of seeking relief:

"You are very smart. You should have realized long ago that there is only one solution to this problem."

"Originally I was still wondering how to convince you, but now I'm happy to see that you're mature enough to face all this calmly."

"Face it calmly."

"If you mean the Tree King disappears, and the former Nashida ceases to exist."

"—Then I regret not to accept your proposal."

Without any warning, the previously harmonious atmosphere of the conversation suddenly changed.

Before Lin Feng could say anything, Nashida, who looked exactly like the other party, looked at the Tree King and refused with a rare firm attitude.

"If possible, I don't want to choose an ending that is too cruel for you."

"But as the God of Wisdom, you should know this. There is no other way."

No matter how much I tried to make this farewell seem less sad,

But faced with Nashida's resolute attitude, she still shook her head silently, with a complex and incomprehensible look in her eyes:

"The forbidden knowledge is completely bound to my existence. Even after my death, it will remain in the world as knowledge and memory. The only way to eliminate it is to make the Great Compassion Tree King no longer exist.

Although you may not understand the inevitability of this now, don't feel sad for me. I have already foreseen this day and have prepared for it. "

I raised my head and finally had the chance to look seriously at the black-haired boy beside me.

For some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense any aura from the other person. The consciousness gave him the feeling of an ordinary person without any special powers.

Apart from knowing by chance that the other party came from another world, the Tree King, who had been isolated from the world for a long time, suddenly found that he knew nothing about the companion chosen by Nashida.

"."

After a moment of silence, he exchanged glances with the young man beside him.

Because I believe in my own vision, and I also believe in Nashida's unreserved trust and happiness.

Suddenly realizing that this outcome might be better than predicted, she patted the little guy's head and spoke with a sense of relief:

"——I am very happy to see that you are no longer alone. I am also happy to see that the person next to you is not the one I originally expected."

"The protagonist of the prophecy will never stay in one place. You will inevitably become lonely again one day in the future.

But if you are the knight chosen by your own will, you will be able to continue even without me."

He stood up from where he was and came before Nashida.

Originally, in order to avoid feeling sad, I planned to talk as little as possible.

But after going around in circles, I ended up telling myself a bunch of things.

He shared his favorite recipes, the gifts he left behind at Jingshan Palace, and his favorite places to relax.

Most of the instructions are about life, and there is no god at all.

She believed that she could do everything well, and she also believed that after obtaining her "memory", Nashida would not forget what she should do.

"."

"Go ahead. I don't have much time left to be awake. This is my own choice. You don't have to blame yourself for it."

The emerald green light of the grass element gradually bloomed around him, and he planned to take the initiative to walk up to the little guy and give him a long-overdue hug.

But when she was about to hug him,

Lin Feng, who had been watching from the side for a long time without any presence, shook his head slightly, inserted a hand directly between the two Buyer who were about to touch each other, and said the first words after coming here:

"—I'm sorry to stop you from hugging, but there will be many more opportunities like this later, so please don't rush now."

"--As you said, I will not leave Nashida."

"—But besides that, I think she also needs a 'mother', a 'sister', and a 'senior' besides being a 'knight'."

Carefully maintaining the state of the tree king, all the necessary preparations are finally completed.

It took a lot of time to "change the source". Now the maintainer of this consciousness space has quietly changed to myself during the conversation between the two little grasses.

With a slight thought, he directly placed the highest authority to decide the existence of this place on himself.

Lin Feng, who had not dared to bring in any power before, could finally project the power he should have.

"Om-"

？ ！！

Suddenly realizing that the dissipation operation he was performing in the consciousness space was actually terminated by someone else, a glowing Buyer blinked in confusion.

Before she could comprehend the situation, a force far greater than the fragmented consciousness at the moment surged in from the outside world.

Reshape the structure, repair the soul,

As the space around him became solid, the boy who had previously had no sense of existence became as conspicuous as the center of the entire world.

The seven-colored elements rose from the depths of the earth like an ocean, condensing into the supreme authority.

Combined with the immense power of the abyss that made the Tree King's heart stop,

Lin Feng casually wiped away a half-black and half-white illusory crown just before it took shape. He did not intend to face this bright light bulb when facing the two of them.

"."

I found that the way the Tree King in front of me looked at me was like a Liyue person finding out that the street urchin who bought on credit at the teahouse was the Geo King.

In order to prevent the Tree King from using the authority of the World Tree in the name of Nashida to erase himself, he directly pulled the bit to the top for safety reasons.

In order to make this "Buyer" give up any plans of self-destruction as soon as possible, Lin Feng, whose aura had completely changed, also came in front of her:

"——Although I've met you once before in a dream, I think it's best to introduce you again under the current circumstances."
