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

Chen Xiyao felt terrible. Although these things had already happened, she still felt sad and wanted to rush in to hug Xiao Xilia, take her to eat something delicious, and take her to a warm place to sleep.

What a silly child! He never thought about himself. I don't know why he became so smart later on.

[Sob... People with children can't watch even a little bit...]

So the cloth bag she always carried with her was for sleeping.

【well…】

【…】

……

After Cyria fell asleep, the scene before everyone's eyes changed.

Still in Sumeru City, this time it was daytime. Cyria had grown a bit. According to Nasita's explanation, Cyria should be about six years old now.

Paimon: "So, did Celia really live alone, scavenging for food and eating garbage, for a whole year?"

There's no need for an answer; the result is already obvious.

Cyria was sitting under a tree when a blond little boy slowly approached her, holding a packaged food in his hand.

"Hello little friend, my name is Kavi, what's your name?" The little boy squatted down in front of Celia and asked with a smile.

“I…I’m called…Celia…”

Paimon: "Is he the Kavi that Cyria mentioned who adopted her? So he was a little boy back then too."

Elhesen leaned closer to examine him; the younger version of Kavi did indeed look more pleasing to him than the current one.

"At this time, Kavi's mother had just left Sumeru, and he was all alone. He was also living in the dormitory of the Faculty Academy. It was about a year later that he officially adopted Celia."

Ying: "Speaking of which, is such a young child capable of adopting someone else? Would the laws of Sumeru recognize it?"

Al-Hysen: "You can see it as a one-sided help and contribution; Kavi did not seek legitimacy."

Chu Xi looked at Kavi.

Is this Aya's closest relative?

Kavi was twelve years old at this time. Perhaps due to his family background, his face did not have the naivety that most teenagers of that age have. He appeared very composed, and when facing Cilia, he always showed his enthusiastic side.

Celia held the food that Kavi had brought her, her cute little face full of confusion.

"These...mine...?"

Kavi nodded, and after confirming ownership, Cyria began to eat heartily.

Chapter 210 Cilia's Plan

"Eat slowly, don't choke. I have more if you're not full."

Kavi watched Cilia eat with a smile, feeling a deep sense of healing.

"Next time you come here at this time, I'll bring you something delicious."

Cyria looked at Kavi with her pure, large eyes, her small mouth still full of food she hadn't had time to swallow.

When he met Cilia's eyes, Kavi suddenly stiffened.

What kind of look is that...?

Unbelievable, joyful, surprised, moved...

Reaching out to pat Cyria's messy hair, Kavi said gently, "Eat up, you won't go hungry anymore."

Cyria lowered her head and continued eating, but this time she ate much more slowly, and large tears slid down her cheeks.

……

Studio.

[Kavi! Is this the kind person who adopted Celia?]

[He looks like just a child.]

[Ugh, I can't take it anymore! If I were in Sumeru, I would definitely raise Xiaoya to be plump and healthy.]

【…】

……

Nasida: "What we are seeing now is the most unforgettable event in Xiaoya's life. The previous one represented the suffering she experienced in her childhood, and now she has met the most unforgettable person in her life. This experience is invaluable in Xiaoya's life."

“Celia is so pitiful. We couldn’t tell at all when we were with her,” Paimon sighed.

Al-Hysen: "She is a very optimistic person. In my memory, she has hardly ever been depressed. In terms of academics, nothing can stump her unless she really doesn't want to do it."

Cyril was truly the best student Elhesen had ever had. Teaching her gave him a great sense of accomplishment, and he felt very comfortable being with her.

……

The screen changes again.

The city of Sumeru was built on a giant tree. Cyria was sitting on the trunk of the tree along the road to the Church, which was extremely dangerous. If she accidentally fell, she would not survive.

"Silia, why are you standing in such a dangerous place? Quickly move a little further in!"

Although he knew that Cyria couldn't hear him and that his actions wouldn't change anything, Paimon still insisted on "talking" to Cyria.

At this time, Celia was eight years old. Her hair was no longer messy, and her clothes were no longer dirty.

She leaned against the tree trunk, tilting her head slightly upward to look at the starry sky.

Her expression was very serious, and her pupils were unfocused, as if she were thinking about something profound.

Elhesen sat down next to Celia, turned his head to look at her profile, which was chubby; it seemed that Kavi had taken good care of her.

He looked in the direction Cyria was looking, and there were seven very bright stars in the night sky.

So, are you looking at the stars?

Nasida: "I remember, it was the night Xiaoya gained the Eye of God."

"Eye of God?"

Ying and Paimon had only heard about it; they had never actually witnessed the sudden appearance of the Eye of God.

Almost the instant Narcida finished speaking, green grass elements gathered in front of Cyria, slowly coalescing into an Eye of God that floated in the air.

After floating for a while, Celia didn't reach for it and continued to sit there in a daze.

Suddenly, the Eye of God fell down with a thud, hitting Cyria directly in the face.

"Ouch!"

Cyria cried out in pain, trying to cover her nose, but ended up grabbing the Eye of God.

"Huh? This is... the Eye of God...?!"

Her previously listless eyes instantly brightened, and she looked at the Eye of God in her hand with delight.

Yes, it really is the Eye of God!

She, Celia, actually possesses the Eye of God?!

"Hahaha~"

Cyria held the Eye of God in her palm and happily rolled around on the tree trunk.

Al-Hysen instinctively shielded her with his body, afraid she would fall.

After realizing what had happened, she silently withdrew her hand, surprised: Has she always been this brave?

Soon, the scene changed again. This time it was still Sumeru City, where Cyria used the Eye of God she had obtained to help others tend their flowers and earned a lot of money.

Then it changed again: the day Cyria used her earnings to buy books for Kavi, the day she became Elhesen's student, the day Cyria completed her first independent research project...

The duration of each change decreased, and later each change lasted for less than ten seconds.

Suddenly, everything blurred before their eyes again; this time, it was no longer Sumeru City.

Paimon: "It's the Seven Gods statue from Huacheng Guo!"

Hua Chengguo was a name familiar to all five people present, and they naturally recognized him.

The scene here didn't switch as quickly as before; the group waited a full five minutes before Cyria appeared.

She climbed up the statue of the Seven Gods and leaned against its base.

[My teacher asked me to come to Huacheng Guo to find Teacher Tinali, to study under him, and to complete a paper on the theory of life. His request this time was rather abrupt, as if it came to me on the spur of the moment. Judging from the expression on his face when he said this, I suspect he's hiding something from me.]

Although Cyria, who was leaning against the statue of the Seven Gods, did not open her mouth, everyone could clearly hear her voice.

Chu Xi: "Is that Aya's innermost thought?"

No one answered, because Cyria's voice rang out again.

[After arriving in Huacheng Guo, I made many good friends: Ke Lai, the Traveler, Paimon, Chu Xi… I spent an unforgettable time here, and it was here that I determined one of my most important research topics.]

[I am special because I can dream, while the others in Sumeru cannot. My consciousness can connect to the World Tree, a fact that even the Little Auspicious Grass King doesn't quite understand.]

[On the day the traveler arrived in Huacheng Guo, I reconnected to the World Tree once again. This time, however, it was different from any other time. I seemed to feel the World Tree's pain... or rather, the pain of the Tree King...]

[I don't know what I was thinking, but I felt I had to do something, I felt I could do something, so I decided to save the World Tree, to save the Tree King!]

Elhesen: "..."

[The things that pollute the World Tree seem to be very interested in me; my presence can cause them to become agitated, but I don't know the true state of the World Tree, nor do I know the situation of the Tree King...]

[Through the cycle of the Flower Goddess's birthday, I used my recurring dreams to repeatedly enter the World Tree, paying a considerable price, until I finally learned about the World Tree's condition, the so-called "forbidden" knowledge...]

[I'm going to conduct an experiment, an experiment that, if successful, could save the World Tree and resurrect the Great Tree King, but I need help. Then I thought of the little guys I saw in a dream…]

[I went to Huanalana and sought help from the Lannaros. After learning of my plan, they decided to assist me. They granted me some of the power over dreams. In the Dream Tree, I found a way to resurrect the Tree King. She has passed away, but there must still be some lingering consciousness. As long as that is enough...]

Chapter 211 Years Ago

As Cyria slowly recounted her story, the scene changed accordingly. It was in Huanalana, where she sat quietly before the Dream Tree, surrounded by Lannaros.

[At the very end of the experiment, just one step remained—the most difficult and crucial step. I needed to utilize the power of the void to enter the World Tree and usurp some of its power…]

[After leaving Huan Nalan, I encountered a group of purple demons. Their target was clear: me.]

The scene shows Cyria walking down the road when suddenly a gate to the abyss appears in front of her, from which a large number of monsters pour out and attack her.

Ying's pupils contracted sharply, Paimon's breath hitched, and his heart pounded wildly.

They would never forget the familiar gates of the abyss and the monsters of the abyss!

[I encountered the Doctor again and was saved by him. I knew that the Void was no longer under the control of the Little Lucky Grass King. I used him to get close to the Void and complete my final step...]

The final scene shows Cyria sitting cross-legged inside the Pure Land Palace; it's the last time everyone sees her.

[This was a great experiment, and in the end, I succeeded. I hope you, Professor Elhesen, will see this information I left behind, as well as the Traveler, Paimon, and Little Lucky Grass King…]

Among the crowd, Chu Xi looked aggrieved. She wanted to tell Aya loudly that she was there too, but she knew that Aya couldn't hear her if she said it now.

[Teacher, this will be the last paper I submit to you. I wonder what score you'll give me this time? Will it still be the 99 points you give me to keep me from becoming arrogant?]

[Next, I will show you the real experiment to save the world. Traveler, I hope you can remember more of it, at least remember me, after all, I also have some selfish motives...]

Al-Hysen was lost in thought, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

What did her last words mean?

Narcida said dejectedly, "The Traveler is an outsider. If Cyria's goal is to replace the Tree King and be removed from the World Tree, then the entire Teyvat will no longer remember her. The only one who will remember her will be the Traveler."

"No, no, I can't forget Aya!"

Chu Xi suddenly became emotional. She had finally found the will to live again, how could she forget?!

Paimon quickly went up to comfort Chu Xi, saying that he would not forget Celia either.

The moment they started talking, the scene around them changed again.

This time it wasn't in the rainforest, but in the desert, and this desert felt very familiar, especially with the temple next to it.

The visibility for the five people was very low, and further away was a vast expanse of yellow sand.

Paimon: "Where is this?"

After careful observation, Elhesen concluded: "This seems to be the temple we explored in the desert, but... there are obvious differences between the two, it seems to be in time..."
