King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 738 Fire
"Hahaha..., you can... try it..." After the initial surprise, the doctor actually started to sneer.

"Really?" Sanbing's face darkened, and then more darkness emerged from the cracks.

At first they were just like cracks clinging to the skirmisher's arm, but now they covered his entire arm.

"laugh--"

A faint erosion sound came from the skirmisher's arm, and as the darkness crawled upwards, a rare bead of sweat seeped out of the doctor's forehead.

He had never come across this kind of forbidden knowledge. In the few experiments he had conducted on the abyss, he had always made full preparations.

Now that they are exposed to such a strong power of the abyss without any preparation, the forbidden knowledge might really be transmitted to all the slices.

Just as the doctor was considering whether to make a big noise, he saw that Sanbing's pinching hand suddenly loosened.

The darkness faded away, and along with it, his arm that had just been covered by the abyss had been corroded beyond recognition.

"World Tree, take me there." Sanbing's voice was extremely hoarse, and his pupils were trembling, as if he was walking on the edge of losing his mind.

"Cough...cough cough!"

The doctor covered his neck, coughing and looking at the scattered soldiers with interest.

"You...you look like you've added the power of the abyss to your engine as fuel, right?"

"Kanreya's technology is truly unfathomable. Even if it is not the engine of the Ruins Guardian and the Abyss Power has not been stabilized, it is still possible to extract the power from it."

"There is still hope. Do you want to cooperate again?"

The doctor invited the Scattered Soldiers to cooperate again. Disassembling the Scattered Soldiers in this state would undoubtedly allow him to have a deeper understanding of how Kanreya used the Abyss as an energy source.

Sanbing had only one response to the doctor's invitation.

"boom!"

He kicked the doctor away and responded coldly: "Don't challenge my patience. Don't make me say the same thing three times."

"Huh..., your... strength... has increased by at least twice..."

The doctor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without any anger. On the contrary, the curiosity in his eyes became more obvious.

Feeling the dangerous aura coming from San Bing again, he realized that San Bing was no longer someone he could discuss normally, so he turned around and said to San Bing:

"Come with me, the location of the World Tree is here."

As he said this, he disappeared into the depths of the Jingshan Palace. Seeing this, the scattered soldiers followed him without any hesitation.

As long as he is allowed to enter the World Tree, all the doctor's calculations will be like window paper in the storm, which will rot with a slight poke.

……

Opening his eyes from the darkness and looking around, the scattered soldier found himself in a scene that seemed like a dream.

The pink and white trees occupied most of the field of vision, and under the trees, it was hazy.

The clouds rolled, and the soldier felt the pain in his mind become more intense after taking a look. The nature of the clouds was similar to that of the abyss - they both contained countless information.

He and the doctor were located on a tiny root rising from the pink-white tree.

"This is... the World Tree?"

"It was like a dream, but it was also because of this that everything became somewhat unbelievable."

The Doctor was as emotional as the Scattered Soldiers, as this was also his first time at the World Tree. If he didn't need the Heart of God, he wouldn't want to offend the Grass God.

Inside the World Tree, the Grass God can easily use countless pieces of information to fill his head to bursting.

"Hurry up and prepare for anything you need to do, otherwise you won't be able to leave once the Grass God finds you."

After marveling at it, the doctor followed the roots to the trunk of the World Tree.

He stretched out his palm and placed it on the pink surface of the World Tree. As soon as the thought of invading arose in his mind, he was pushed away by an extremely strong repulsive force.

"It won't be so easy to let the unknown invade?" The doctor rubbed his fingers, and didn't seem surprised at the reaction of the World Tree.

"How about this?" As he spoke, a bundle of blue and white branches appeared in his palm, with new buds vaguely visible on them.

The branches of the earth veins melted in the doctor's hands, and then his arms began to turn white, grow leaves, and finally turn into wood...

This arm, which seemed to have become a part of the earth veins, merged with the trunk of the World Tree without any obstruction.

Following his wooden arm, the doctor's consciousness came to an empty place filled with countless auroras.

However, before he could appreciate the scenery inside the World Tree, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him.

"Buzz--"

"hiss……"

Instinctively, the doctor immediately gathered his consciousness. With a fishy smell in his nose, he touched his philtrum with his other intact arm, only to see blood flowing down his fingertips.

"Just now... I must have entered the information database by mistake... Let's look for it again. There must be a passageway inside the World Tree that can be used for travel."

The doctor was mumbling something to himself, but the skirmishers behind him sneered at his miserable appearance.

"Save some energy. Instead of thinking about how to invade the World Tree, why not take a good look at the scenery in front of you..."

"If we don't invade the World Tree, what can we use in exchange for the Heart of God?"

The doctor just snorted coldly. Now the Heart of Thundergod was taken away by Anfortas, and the Heart of Grassgod was in Nashida's hands.

The former was easy to deal with, after all, the God of Righteousness was his creation, and he knew all of its weaknesses, but the Heart of the God of Grass was troublesome.

Facing the Great Compassion Tree King and Nashida at the same time, it would definitely not work to rob them by force. The only thing he could think of was to do something in the World Tree while the two were far away from Sumeru, and then use this as a threat in exchange for the Heart of God.

"So this is why you gave the Heart of Thundergod to others?"

"He is more suitable for the body of the God of Righteousness than you are. I need data on whether the experiment is successful or not. You obviously can't do that."

"However, since we succeeded once, there will be a second time. Perhaps we can still cooperate."

The doctor spoke to the scattered soldiers with great enthusiasm, and he showed no shame at all when faced with the fact that he had broken his promise.

"Hahaha..., cooperation? That's perfect, don't I have another Heart of God here?"

The Skirmisher raised his hand, in which was the fake God's Heart of Ember.

"This? It's just a fake made by someone unknown." The doctor looked at Sanbing coldly and felt that his brain had been corroded and had problems.

"Tell me, what's underneath?" Without paying attention to the doctor's mocking tone, the soldier simply pointed at the white mist below the World Tree and asked.

"The source of the leyline, where all information about Teyvat is gathered." The doctor said slowly, and then he became a little confused:
"Why are you asking this? The information in there has no entity and can only be interfered with through the World Tree."

The white mist under the World Tree is the ever-expanding "past". They are established facts that have already happened and have no entity. They are only known to people because the World Tree, a database, is here.

"What are you doing..."

The soldier walked to the edge of the roots of the World Tree. He raised his head and said with a self-deprecating and disdainful smile:
"The Shogunate, the Fatui, the Empress..."

As the scattered soldier spoke, waves of chaos and madness emanated from his chest, and then his entire body began to ooze out the wriggling starry sky.

His consciousness was getting blurry. He turned around and saw the doctor's figure blurry in his vision. The scattered soldier's consciousness, which was about to be lost, suddenly became clear for a moment.

"And you! All of you, die!!!"

"boom!"

He stabbed his hand holding the fake God's Heart deep into his chest, and the soldier no longer had any breath.

He fell down stiffly like a real puppet with the starry sky flowing on his body, and fell into the white mist under the World Tree.

The ocean current of information continued to surge, and after engulfing the puppet, a hint of red appeared in the white.

"call……"

Flames rose from the bottom of the bottomless pit and illuminated the doctor's face.
