Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

Paimon nudged Celia, but she didn't respond at all.

Nasita stretched out her hands, and a green light shield enveloped Cyria. Cyria, suspended in the air within the light shield, lay quietly, with green energy continuously entering her body.

Nasita: "Traveler, I will enter the void to search for clues left by Xiaoya. Then we will know Xiaoya's current situation."

Nasida closed her eyes immediately after speaking. There were many things she hadn't had time to say, but she believed Ying would help explain.

Xiaoya's condition simply couldn't be delayed any longer.

Elheisen: "The traveler..."

Ying gave Chu Xi a comforting hug, then composed herself and told Elhesen everything that had happened to them at the World Tree.

Although Elhesen was shocked by the Tree King's choice, he had no time to think about anything else.

"Her experiment was a success?!"

The paper on saving the World Tree is related to an experiment that also aims to save the World Tree, right? How could that have succeeded?

Even the Great Tree King had no choice but to sacrifice herself, yet she managed to find other methods?

"This guy... I really hope nothing happens to him..."

Elhesen glanced back at Celia, who was encased in the light shield, and realized that he understood her less and less.

……

Narcida extracted the clues left by Cyria from the void, which she hadn't examined yet, so it wouldn't take much time.

"Nasita, how are you?!"

Nasida shook her head: "I did not find Xiaoya's consciousness in the void; she only left this behind."

Nasita stretched out her hand, and a golden can of knowledge immediately appeared in her hand.

Like the previous ones, the knowledge in the can is just an external manifestation. This is the clue that Cyria left behind, and it is everything she wanted to tell Ying and the others.

"Are you ready? As before, we will enter Cyria's consciousness and see everything she wants to tell us. Perhaps then we will be able to find a way to save her."

Ying: "Ready? Let's get going!"

Elhesen and Chu Xi also came up. Nasida glanced at everyone, and then, under her control, the golden light of canned knowledge enveloped everyone.

……

The world of players.

The screen went dark, then returned to normal, with text appearing in the center: The Savior's Weed (Beginning)

Chen Xiyao fell silent when she saw the task.

She already knew mhy's nature very well; such a suggestive mission name instantly brought back a lot of bad memories.

"This damn five-word task!"

Her live stream chat was flooded with comments at that moment.

Where are those guys who said Cyria's paper was a failure? Come out here!

So, Celia saved the Tree King? But how?

[Not the King of Trees, but the World Tree! Aya's thesis is about saving the World Tree!]

Must Aya also be sacrificed? Must all those with purest souls be sacrificed?

[Ugh... Baby Chu Xi is already devastated...]

[I knew it, miHoYo would definitely kill me. I thought it was Tree King, I just cried for Tree King, but now they're telling me it's Cyria...]

Is it possible that it could be both?

[She was just an ordinary human, yet she managed to save the World Tree, something that even the Council of the Church and two generations of the God of Wisdom couldn't do. In the end, only the Great Tree King could be sacrificed...]

……

In a certain space.

Jiang Mumu has already prepared the forces on the Abyss's side, including three demon god-level combatants.

She plans to make her move only after the World Tree has completely removed Cyria.

After all, one of the seven pure souls had vanished into thin air, and the Abyss, which was collecting these souls, had to make some kind of response.

The abyss comes from beyond the world, and there are always some higher-dimensional beings within it who are unaffected by the deletion and know that such a person once existed.

This being is similar to the Traveler; yes, it's Jiang Mumu, she's the main villain of the Abyss.

The emotional feedback is almost full. If we bring out more powerful guys from the abyss, even if they get wiped out, it won't have a big impact.

……

Ying over here.

Ying, Paimon, Nasida, Elhesen, and Chu Xi, a total of five people, arrived at a very special place - Sumeru City.

"To enter the void with one's consciousness, and even leave these things behind, Cyria shouldn't be able to do that..."

Elhesen voiced his doubts: Celia was just an ordinary person, and logically she shouldn't have such abilities.

Ying: "Ciria possesses a pure soul."

"A pure soul?"

This was the first time El-Hysen had ever heard of this word.

“Yes, you know that the two battles between Demon God-level forces in Mondstadt and Liyue were because the Abyss was collecting Pure Souls, and they succeeded.” Luminous answered while observing the surroundings.

"Those with pure souls seem to be very sensitive to things like dreams and the void. When we were caught in the cycle of the Flower Goddess's Birthday, Cyria was the first to realize that she was in a cycle..."

As Ying explained, Elhesen's brow furrowed even more.

Nasita: "Not only that, I sensed the power of the Lannaros in the clues left by Cyria."

Elhesen: "Lannaro?"

Nasita: "Those are little forest spirits, also considered...familiars of the grass god..."

Ying and Paimon haven't done the Forest Book quest yet, but Lannaro and the others have seen them when they went to find Hibasia...

"Isn't this the City of Sumeru? What exactly is Cyria trying to tell us?"

Paimon has already walked around the area, and apart from the fact that it's nighttime, it's clearly not much different from the real Sumeru City.

Just as everyone was wondering, the sound of a cloth bag being dragged on the ground came from nearby.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl with messy yellow hair, dirty clothes, but bright eyes, dragging a cloth bag over.

The little girl was also holding a stick.

“Silia?!”

Paimon was shocked; the little girl clearly looked like Celia, only much smaller.

Chu Xi immediately ran up to her and squatted down in front of Celia: "Hello, little friend, what's your name?"

The little girl didn't say anything and walked straight through Chu Xi's body.

Chapter 209 Is this the purest soul?

Little Celia is so cute!

[Such a young child has lost both parents, how tragic...]

[I wonder what's in the bag Cyria is dragging.]

……

"Ok?"

Chu Xi was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around in confusion and saw Xiao Xilia pulling the cloth bag away into the distance.

Paimon: "Ciria can't see us?"

Elhesen: "I was just wondering why everything here is so different from the real Sumeru City. For example, that tree over there is much smaller. Now it seems that we have returned to when Cyria was young."

"Time travel?!"

Al-Hysen: "We are indeed in different times and spaces from her, but not to the point of time travel. Everything here is a clue left by Cyria. To be precise, what we are seeing is her memory."

Nasita: "Elhesen is right. If I remember correctly, this should be Sumeru thirteen years ago."

Paimon and Chu Xi had been following Little Celia closely. Upon hearing Nasita's words, they exclaimed in surprise:

"Thirteen years ago, does that mean Celia would only be five years old now?"

"Aya told me she had a hard childhood, but I never imagined it was this bad..."

The group followed behind Cilia, wanting to see where she was going.

Cyria's little face was a bit dirty, but her skin was very white. If it weren't so hard to touch, she would probably have been held in everyone's arms and carefully protected long ago.

Little Celia, dragging her cloth bag, led the group to a stall, but since it was evening, there were no stalls set up there.

goo goo~

Cyril's stomach rumbled loudly, and Ying and the others heard it very clearly.

The items covered by a cloth on the stall are likely fruit, as can be seen from the outlines printed on the cloth.

Cyria's stomach growled a few more times. She looked at the stall, her beautiful eyes filled with longing.

Chu Xi's eyes were red; she wanted to go up and help, but she simply couldn't.

Paimon: "Ciriah, hurry up and go get one! The owner won't blame you if he finds out!"

At this moment, Paimon seemed to be giving all the food he had saved up to Cyria.

Ying and Elhesen sighed silently, while Nasida fell silent.

Cyria watched for a while before dragging her bag away. But before she had taken more than a few steps, a sunset fruit fell from the stall and slowly rolled to her feet.

Celia looked around in confusion with her big eyes, then bent down and picked up the sunset fruit.

Just as everyone was watching Cyria expectantly, anticipating her eating it, she took the sunset fruit to the stall, lifted a corner of the cloth covering it, put the sunset fruit inside, and then covered it again.

Finally, she gently patted the covered cloth with her hand before leaving.

Celia's actions left Ying and the others speechless.

Paimon: "Little Celia, hurry up and eat! It's alright, it's just a Sunset Fruit!"

El-Hysen felt both gratified and heartbroken.

When he met Cyria, she wasn't doing so badly anymore. He only learned from that noisy guy that Cyria's life used to be terrible, but he didn't know exactly how bad it was.

Ying glanced at Nasita, wondering if the falling sunset fruit was her doing.

She wouldn't eat even if she was starving... Celia is really... kind of adorably silly...

Ying has gained a clearer understanding of the purest soul this time.

The group continued to follow Cyria. This time, she walked to the trash can. She was short and young. She looked around and struggled to move a wooden stool over and stand on it.

She poked around in the trash can with her little stick, and the way she did it was really heartbreaking.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her dirty little face.

She pulled out a half-rotten fruit from inside, examined it carefully, wiped it clean with her clothes, and then put it to her mouth to eat.

After eating some, the rest was rotten, so Celia threw it back into the trash can.

The group followed her for a while until they reached a corner where they could find shelter from the wind on both sides.

Cyria peeked out of the cloth bag she always carried with her.

Perhaps because she ate bad fruit, she curled up, her little face looking very painful.

Ying: "I remember, didn't Sumeru have a children's welfare home? Why is Celia..."

Elhesen turned his head away, his feelings complicated.

Nasita explained, "The children's welfare home was only established in the last few years."
