"Even if it is a road paved with fire, we will march forward with joy..."
A flashback to a scene from Lan Jiawei shows a moment of a large chorus singing.
Everyone was singing happily; these wonderful memories are the nourishment for Lanaro's growth.
"Nara the Traveler is Langri's good friend! No one is allowed to harm her!"
This time it was Lannard, the Lannard with the toy sword at his waist. He stood in front of the traveler, very bravely.
Then there's Lana, who stays by Lana's side, waiting for the traveler's return.
The Lannaros who meet the traveler pass on power to him through garlands, and in doing so, also share their own memories.
Memory is the power of Lannaro, and they pass this power to travelers through garlands.
This is just like how everyone in our childhood lent 'light' to travelers.
Each flower comes from a different Lanalo, representing a different memory, but what they all share is the dazzling golden Nara that shines like the sun in their eyes.
Her golden hair, like the sun, could bring warmth even when the sky was blocked.
"Brave Nala... even if you can't see the sky, you have the warmth of the sun..."
If you could exchange Mount Sumeru for my city of snow-white beauty

Five hundred years of gratitude, Wuluo Tuo, can you bear it?
Chapter 702 Planting a New King Awakening Tree
The memories in the original game were silent, but they are present in Lin Qiu's animation.
Those innocent words reached everyone's ears, and a flood of memories suddenly surfaced.
The Forest Book is long, but at this moment its length becomes a book of friends, filled with the memories of the traveler and Lanalo.
Each page features a childhood crayon drawing that is flashing back on the screen at this moment.
The audience panicked. The emotional atmosphere had already built up. Based on past experience, Lanromo would most likely be gone after the battle!
Everyone tried their best to mentally prepare themselves, and surprisingly, Lanromo was still there after the battle, seemingly unharmed. The only thing that disappeared was the flower crown on the traveler's head.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although their mental preparation had been in vain, it was still great that their efforts had been wasted.
I've never been so happy because I predicted the plot wrong.
Lin Qiu held his breath. Just thinking about what was going to happen next made me want to laugh, so I had to hold it in.
Okay, not only do you have to hold back your laughter, but you also have to be careful not to get hurt by the 'Thorn Armor'.
[Lanramo: "I can sense that the memories of Wuluoda within the Shaheng have been completely erased."]
From then on, there was no need to worry about the problem of the dead realm.
This made everyone very happy, but along with the happiness, a question arose in their hearts: how was forbidden knowledge resolved?
Although we know that it was the Grass God who cleared away the 'forbidden knowledge,' and everyone has already seen it.
But... what was the cleaning process again? I can't remember.
I remember that when the Grass God entered the World Tree, he cleared away the forbidden knowledge on the World Tree. But if it was that simple, why did we cry back then?
While the animation continued to play, Lanromo was already preparing to plant a new Juewang Tree. In order to bear the fruit of Weiye, he also brought Lanlana over.
Lanaro can burrow underground, and its burrowing speed is outrageously fast, even faster than the Earth God.
This is because they are not actually moving by burrowing into the ground; they are actually teleporting through 'sand veins,' which is the earth's veins, so they are very fast.
In fact, it's even more free than the ability of travelers to teleport using anchor points.
The two adorable little creatures jumped off the ground in perfect sync, their bouncy and cute appearance instantly captivating viewers and interrupting their train of thought.
Why are you crying? Why keep thinking about that? Let's watch something that makes us happy.
They were indeed happy, but unfortunately, they weren't the ones who were happy.
Then they saw the cute little creature in the picture saying things like 'big tree' and 'seed', which they couldn't understand.
[Lanromo: "I have absorbed the memories and power of the Hengsu Fruit, the Juewang Tree, and Lanmuhukunda. Now there is no 'seed' stronger than me in the forest."]
Oh no, I understand now! Lanromo really is a seed!
Although everyone had realized it beforehand, at this moment, even that tiny hope was shattered.
Everyone really doesn't want to see Lanromo disappear, because he has been with them for so long.
The stories in the Forest Book were released in installments over a long period of time, which felt like they had been with everyone in real life for a long time as well.
Furthermore, since the next part is an animated film, Lanromo's presence in the visuals is incredibly strong.
Because Lin Qiu has been tirelessly using animation to portray Lan Luomo's cuteness, and the voice acting is an added bonus, which audience could bear to do without it?
But becoming a seed and growing into a great tree—that may be the destiny of Lanaro.
No one wanted to face this fate. Paimon was very reluctant to part with Lanromo, and she was about to cry.
Paimon: "Then, if Lanromo becomes a tree, it won't be able to run around, talk, or sing anymore..."
Her aggrieved voice and tearful expression touched everyone's hearts. Traveler, please give her a hug!
It can only be said that Paimon spent more time with the Traveler, and she was always a cheerful and bubbly person, which is why the audience felt sorry for her when they saw her with this expression.
Now, my already bad mood is compounded by Paimon's additional damage. Oh no, it's a charm-inflicted injury.
Lanromo absorbed everyone's memories, and from among them, he selected a story to tell Paimon.
"An eternal oasis hidden within golden sandstorms, devoid of any life. The oldest ruler of all vegetation, whom no Lannaro has had the fortune to witness, lies dormant within the yellow sand."
"The greenery that once covered it all withered and died, turning into fine sand that could not be grasped. Just as Wuluoda whispered: All that is beautiful will eventually die."
This is the story of Sumeru, but the Nata people felt an extraordinary sense of empathy for it.
Replacing Wuluo Tuo with Shenyuan doesn't seem out of place at all.
"But you must know that even in the darkest night, stars will always shine; and the sun will always rise. Even if death thirsts for dominion, life will not perish."
The Nata people were filled with fervor. Yes! Absolutely right! That's the belief that has kept us fighting until now!
Even though the sky is dark when the abyss arrives, we believe that the stars will shine afterward, and one day, the sun will surely shatter this darkness!
"One day, my dreams and your dreams, my memories and your memories, will intertwine and blossom on countless branches of the sands. Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
This story foreshadows some elements about the Grass Dragon and the Eternal Oasis, but that's not the point. The point is—the child who listened to the story back then has now become the storyteller.
But... but Lanromo, you're still very young, aren't you? You haven't seen this world yet, have you?
You haven't felt the winds of Mondstadt yet; the winds there are always carrying the smell of alcohol.
You haven't seen the mountains of Liyue either; the mountains and rocks there all have their own stories and histories.
And then there's Inazuma's lightning, a fleeting eternity, a firework soaring from the sky to the earth, but you'd be afraid, wouldn't you?
Are you still that kid who gets scared when you see someone trying to scam you out of money?
Children... The audience recalled the large words they had seen at the time: 'For all children who yearn for life.'
Oh, so that's what it meant. So that's what it was...
But...but you're a child too...
Yes, Lanluomo has grown up, but in the hearts of the audience, he is still the child who was afraid of the flower tricker, and the child who couldn't recognize the 'treasure'.
You are a playful child, and you were the first traveler you found.
You are a child who loves to sing; the songs sung at the Worry-Free Festival still linger in my ears.
But if you become a big tree, you can't sing or play anymore.
It turns out that Paimon's point of sorrow is so 'fatal'... what she grieves for is precisely what Lanromo loves.
Chapter 703 Hello, Thank you, Goodbye
The audience had already started to shed tears; their emotions had gone through several twists and turns, but it had finally come to this.
Paimon, his voice trembling with tears but firm in determination, said, "Yes... I know! Lanromo, you are the best 'seed,' so you will definitely grow into a big and beautiful tree!"
She continued, "So, so, even if you become a tree, don't forget me, don't forget the traveler, don't forget our adventures together!"
So let us not forget, for we have not forgotten either; the forest will remember everything, and we will meet again in the sands.
The screen displayed the words: Hello, Thank you, Goodbye.
Memories appear in the scene: Hello: It was our first meeting, when Lanromo, hiding on the hillside, secretly observed the traveler.
Thank you: that was your companionship all the way. The big, inconvenient rock and the dreaded trickster flower were all taken care of.
This is memory, the most precious thing for the Lannaros, and for the Lanromo, it is the traveler.
Finally, goodbye.
Lanromo flew out and then plunged into the ground, from which emerald green life energy sprouted and grew.
As the branches grew larger, the surrounding area was also stimulated by this life energy to sprout grass and flowers.
The once desolate place has been transformed into an oasis, and the dim scene has been illuminated once more.
In the heart of the green 'oasis' stands a tree, yes, 'blooming', its blossoms dazzling at first glance.
I believe that in a few months he will become the most beautiful and strongest tree.
The difference between film visuals and reality lies in the perception of light.
In the movie, the light is so prominent, so dazzling, yet it cannot outshine the tree, becoming merely an embellishment in the scene, highlighting it.
The scene was beautiful, but the audience had no interest in appreciating it.
Strange, when did the 'light' become so obvious? It's blurring the whole picture. Is this a drawing error?
It wasn't until large tears slid down her cheeks that she realized it wasn't a mistake in the painting; it was just that the tears in her eyes had blurred the light, making it impossible to see the picture clearly.
At this moment, everyone is wondering, what exactly is this so-called 'salvation'? Is it simply handing over the weight of memories to those who are still alive?
I don't know, but at least the audience now feels the weight of this memory.
Like Zhiqiong and Alu, these people's memories all become footnotes to the traveler's journey, which the traveler then carries on to continue.
The Forest Book is too long, and the audience witnesses the whole process from beginning to end. This time, it no longer feels like a traveler's story, but rather a personal memory.
I really hope I can hear Lanromo say "See you tomorrow" again this time.
But this is truly goodbye, Lanromo. Let us meet again in the Saheng.
Lin Qiu was quite happy to see everyone crying, but in addition to being happy, she was also moved by the story.
This is definitely different when it's presented in the form of an animated film. Fortunately, this wasn't a fatal encounter, so Lin Qiu was mostly happy.
Looking back at Funina, oh good, she's crying. 'Daughter of Water' really is made of water, she has so many tears.
Then look at Hu Tao, still smiling, looking like she wants to kill me. I love it!
My dear boss, next time I'll write your story to make you laugh, and I'll cut you first before I do.
Navia's expression was not visible because she was trying hard to control it and was wearing sunglasses, but the tear tracks on her face were visible. That felt good.
Even Nasita turned into a pouty face, which was extremely cute.
Nasita's thinking is unique; as a 'plant,' she is able to understand the inevitability of Lanromo's behavior.
But as a 'god,' she can empathize with humans, so she also feels sadness, which eventually manifests as a pout.
Lin Qiu leaned back in his seat with a sense of relief. Ah, this is what an observer should be seeing.
Abedo frantically sketched the scene of everyone crying, and he strongly agreed with Lin Qiu, saying that these were all research materials for studying human emotions.
Look at that red demon next to you, he's crying so hard. Hisaki Shinobu is trying to comfort him while apologizing to everyone around him, saying, "Sorry for disturbing everyone."
Although he wasn't human, he cried even more sadly than a human. Different races, same emotions—better material indeed!
Everyone was wiping away tears, but this was only the first blow; there was a second one to come, and that blow came from Lanlana.
