The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 33: New buds emerging from the ground

The Tree King united the power of the people and created the void.

At the same time, he broke off the purest branch of the World Tree that was farthest away from the forbidden knowledge, and used it as the initial carrier of the void, hoping that the pure branch could replace himself and continue to protect Xumi.

Finally, He used his greatest power to reverse the instinct of the World Tree record and delete the part about forbidden knowledge.

In the end, he burned most of himself, because he knew very well that he was connected to the World Tree. If he did not completely forget the forbidden knowledge, the forbidden pollution on the World Tree would continue to regenerate.

But at the end, the Great Compassion Tree King discovered a problem.

He cannot kill Himself.

In the end, He could only wait, wait for the pure branches to grow, and finally... kill Himself, and let Himself disappear along with all the forbidden knowledge in this world.

The news of the Tree King's death caused great panic in the entire Church. Kuru, a former Sulun sect sage who was training forest rangers, died without even having time to catch his breath.

He lived to be 180 years old, which was more than four times the average lifespan of Xumi residents.

"Teacher, I finally came to see you."

In the Sixth Manor, Xia Mian looked a little dazed when he heard the news of the death of the Tree King.

"Has it come to this? So why did His Majesty the Great Compassion Tree King commit suicide?"

"Sleep, Xiamian, you are too tired." Fuget's voice echoed in his ears, "The new pure branches are still waiting for your help."

Xia Mian nodded, holding the cat Dahei and stepped into the sleeping ceremony.

The ritual runes began to shimmer.

Xia Mi'an lies in the coffin of sleep...

Although he was very sleepy, Xia Mian still complained: "So why is it a coffin."

A chuckle came into Xiamian's ear: "Because it is easier to engrave ritual runes on a coffin than a bed, and it covers more comprehensively. Don't worry, the coffin is well ventilated."

"I accept it reluctantly." Xia Mian said with a smile, and then fell into a deep sleep.

As Xia Mian fell asleep, the Sixth Manor disappeared without a trace. The gray-black breath of oblivion enveloped the Sixth Manor, and everyone, including time, seemed to have forgotten the Sixth Manor.

People no longer talk about this magnificent manor, as if this six-story manor had never existed.

Time began to flow again, and the mentions of Fuget and his disciples became less and less frequent, and only some historical documents and records still mentioned Fuget and his disciples.

Forty years after the death of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

The little auspicious grass king has appeared, but he has been imprisoned in the Jingshan Palace by the sages.

"What a genius idea." The young man Zandik marveled at the mural.

He was expelled from the House of Lords and could only do research in the desert.

Some time ago, he heard that there was a tomb of a man named Hebanda in the Bintie Sand Dunes area.

If it was just the tomb of Hebanda, Zandik would not be interested in it, but the name of this Hebanda was Fuget.

Most people probably only know about Fuget, the man called Harbanda, that he invented the Fuget Intelligence Amplification Potion.

But what's more coincidental is that Zandik was interested in the [Fuget Intelligence Amplification Potion], so he carefully investigated Fugate.

Although this Fuget was only a Hipatta, in Zandik's opinion, he was a true genius.

Because the [Fuget Intelligence Amplification Potion], which is regarded as a miracle drug by the mediocre people in the Ministry of Education, is the most inconspicuous one among Fuget's many inventions.

The culmination of these should be [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion] and [Nasonless Advanced Concentration Potion].

These two can permanently develop the brain and improve concentration.

But it is a pity that both the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion] and the [Nasonless Advanced Concentration Potion], many of the raw materials of the two have been reduced due to the dark disaster.

Before being kicked out of the Order, Zandik had only prepared a few bottles of high-level concentration potions. As for the intelligence development potion, he had always failed.

So Zandik came to the mausoleum, hoping to get some more detailed information, and it would be even better if he could gain something else.

However, when Zandik arrived here, he was surprised to find that there was a desert tribe living here.

They called themselves the Iron Sand Tribe, a branch of a larger tribe, and this mausoleum was the place they guarded.

Because Zandik was dressed like a scholar, he was welcomed by the tribe after he expressed his desire to settle here.

Zandik also officially began his research and life here.

Soon after, Zandik gained the recognition of the tribe, and some areas in the mausoleum were opened to Zandik.

This includes the mural room on the second floor that amazed Zendik so much.

"It's really hard to find you." A tall figure appeared in the mural room. "What are you doing here, archaeology?"

"It's just a look at the wisdom of our ancestors," said Zandik. "You can go out and speak up if you have anything to say."

The two left the mausoleum and came to the desert.

"I came here following the rumors of the Taboo," the tall figure said, "I heard that you can create 'Optimized People'."

"First, let me introduce myself. You can call me [Harlequin]. From the winter solstice, I invite you to join the [Faints]"

"Just an 'optimized human'? If your country can provide enough materials and enough time, I can even create what you call a 'God'. How do you think?"

If this was just an idea before, after seeing Fugate's biological enhancement technology, Zandik's confidence increased a little bit.

Will you call me a "freak" or a "lunatic" like the people in the Ordinance did? Or will you chase me away with sticks and pitchforks like the people in my hometown did?

Zandik thought to himself.

"Very good. Then, we are companions." [Harlequin] said, "As for your name, how about this - [Doctor]."

"Interesting, really very interesting." [Doctor] laughed, because the title given to him was too ironic.

"Then let's go back to the mausoleum. You should be interested in the things inside." said [Doctor].

"Speaking of which, what's this mausoleum about?" After the Doctor said this, the Clown also became interested in it.

So [Doctor] briefly introduced the owner of the mausoleum.

"It seems that some important people have come." The high priest of the Iron Sand Tribe looked at the Doctor and the Clown with a scepter in his hand.

"Priest of Iron Sand, we have no intention of offending you," said the Doctor.

"Is it for the wisdom of the saint?" said the high priest. "Then go in, and leave after you get what you want."

"Your will." [Doctor] bowed slightly.

"This high priest seems to have magical powers." The Harlequin said, "I actually feel a little threatened."

"After all, he is a legend who has defeated the Dark Disaster." said [Doctor].

"That's really incredible." [The Clown] didn't care.

The two re-entered the second level of the mausoleum.

[Doctor] held a torch and prepared to continue examining the murals.

But the Clown said, "Let me help you."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and an elemental ball appeared in the center of the mausoleum, lighting up everything around it.

"The previous priest here told me that the six great achievements of the 'Saint', the owner of the mausoleum, are recorded here." said [Doctor].

"That old man outside?" said the Clown.

"That's not the case. He is a young priest." The Doctor said with a slightly mocking expression, "But no matter how clearly this 'saint' describes it, it is still incomprehensible to those mediocre people."

"Potions that develop intelligence, unparalleled swordsmanship, and shocking theories." [Doctor] expressed his amazement.

However, the Clown's attention is clearly not here.

He carefully looked at the achievements that represented Fugate's pedagogy.

"What's wrong?" After copying down the principle, the Doctor was a little puzzled as to why the Clown was still looking at the simple mural.

He also looked at the mural in front of him.

[Kulu was born into a family of small vendors in the Grand Bazaar. He later enrolled in the Sipantama College and became a disciple of Fugate. After becoming an apprentice datsa, he joined the Sipantama College and was later promoted to the rank of Harpantha, sage, and great sage.]

[Baanka was born in a merchant family in Baoshang Street. He later enrolled in Sipandama College and became a student of Fugate. After graduation, he switched to business and became the richest businessman and the first philanthropist in Xumi.]

[Batu was born into a family of doctors at the Health Home. He later enrolled at Sipandama College and became a student of Fugate. After graduation, he started working at the Health Home.]

[Samel was born in the desert. He later entered Sipandama College and became a disciple of Fuget. After graduation, he returned to the desert to conduct alchemy research. After marrying Kuru, he entered Sipandama College to teach. He is known as the number one alchemy master in Xumi.]

[Hetala, a foreign student in Mond, later enrolled in Sipandama College and became a student of Fgate. After graduation, she returned to Mond and was known as the Mond Potion Witch.] "It seems like there are indeed quite a few acquaintances here." [Doctor] said, touching his chin.

Then [Doctor] looked towards the statue where [Harlequin] was standing.

[Shamian, my wife, is from the Tinares and the Temple of Silence.]

"You seem to know this person." said [Doctor].

"Of course, the famous Hermanubis II, who was tall and mighty on the battlefield and undefeated." [Clown] said, "I didn't expect him, no, she is actually a woman."

At the end of the Dark Beast Tide, he and Xia Mian had fought together.

The Clown was deeply impressed by the flash of lightning that flickered in the abyss.

He could easily defeat monsters by himself that would normally require a team of Kanreya Knights to defeat.

But now it seems that he is her, well~it's a bit strange.

"Hmm~ I seem to remember this person. Her name is indeed quite neutral. Her full name... seems to be Shamian Fuget Saint Hermanubis."

"I've seen this name in many high-end alchemical theory papers." said [Doctor].

"In many scholars' memoirs and autobiographies, he seems to be referred to as 'The Ageless Lady of Fugate', 'The Forever Young Charmian' and 'Hermanubis II'."

"But what's strange is that it seems that all the information about her disappeared after a certain period of time."

The Harlequin nodded and said, "It seems that some kind of power has made us forget it."

"But these are not important."

The two men said goodbye to the grim-looking high priest and left. They had lofty ideals and would not stay here.

"Have you tried going to the second basement?" asked the Harlequin.

"That place is guarded by a bunch of energy machines," said the Doctor. "Even the Iron Sand Priests don't dare to go there."

[Doctor] I have tried it before, but was taught a lesson several times by the authorities. I could only secretly say, I am not strong yet, and when I become strong, things will change.

However, before he could grow strong, he was recruited by the Fatui.

"It's really interesting." The blurry figure slowly dissipated. Although Fuget's spiritual power was no longer increasing rapidly, it was increasing vigorously.

But as he was forgotten by people, his essence became more and more powerful.

The external manifestation was that the [Power of Forgetting] became increasingly powerful, but Fgett slept even more deeply, and that figure was formed purely out of instinct.

Now that Fuget's spiritual power is no longer increasing, Fuget uses most of his spiritual power on his body.

Now that Fuget's body has been dried for more than a hundred years, the water element contained in it is almost gone, so Fuget can start the next stage.

That is, to use spiritual energy to cleanse and transform the body, transforming it into a form that completely suits his essence.

After the success, if we make a comparison, it would be a bit too much to say that it is comparable to the big golden human, but it is still possible to compare with the original sons of the big golden human.

After all, he has everything that the Primarch has, and even things that the Primarch doesn't have.

After all, the Primarch does not have any power of balance or power of nothingness.

It is worth mentioning that when the spiritual energy was washing over Fuget's body, the power of nothingness also penetrated into Fuget's body, followed by the power of balance.

The three together made Fuget's body stronger.

More than twenty years passed.

"Hmm~" Xia Mian woke up from his sleep.

"Meow~" Okay, the cat Dahei has also woken up.

"It feels very uncomfortable." Xia Mian said.

"This is already an optimized experience." Fugate's words lingered on Xiamian's pointed ears.

Xia Mian's ears moved. The hair on her ears was a little dry, which was a symptom of dehydration.

"Some water," said Xia Mian.

The water element appeared out of thin air, and then condensed in front of Xia Mian and the cat Dahei. The man and the cat drank it quickly.

"Ahem~ I feel much weaker."

"You need to recover your strength as soon as possible." Fuget said to Xia Mian, "Pure New Branch needs your help."

"What happened?" Xia Mian asked with a frown on his handsome face.

Fuget told Xia Mian what happened to the little grass god.

"It's treasonous." Xia Mian was furious. "So why did you let me..."

"He also agreed to this matter, didn't He?" Fuget said, "But it seems that something went wrong with His plan."

Xia Mian once talked about this matter with the Great Compassion Tree King, and the Great Compassion Tree King implicitly told Xia Mian not to worry.

"···Okay, let's do as you say." Xia Mian said helplessly.

"The most important thing for you now is to restore your strength." said Fuget.

Xia Mian slept for sixty-six years, six months and six days, and her level dropped from LV90 to LV78.

Much better than Forgate expected, this is the power of bio-enhancement technology.

The cat is in a better situation, having dropped from LV85 to LV79, mainly because her body is smaller and her nature is more tenacious.

However, these are only temporary losses. As long as you eat and drink well and do proper training, a few weeks will be enough to fully recover to your peak.

Two weeks later, Xia Mian had completely recovered his strength.

The cat Dahei recovered a little slower and took three weeks to recover.

All I can say is that fortunately this is Teyvat, and Mora, as a precious gold, is the only currency in circulation in Teyvat, so even if Shamian goes out to buy things, he will not be troubled by money issues.

After all, if it is an ordinary civilization, sixty years is enough time for the currency to undergo two or three reforms. If the currency changes faster, it may even undergo seven or eight reforms.

"Tonight we will explore the Jingshan Palace."

"Meow~"

······
"The defense of Jingshan Palace is much stronger than before." Under the night, Xia Mian, wearing a hood, lay on a tree branch and complained, "There weren't so many strong men before."

"Meow~"

"You're right. The Tree King didn't need these before." Xia Mian said.

A man and a cat turned into black shadows and entered Jingshan Palace at the moment when the two guards were dozing off.

"Who are you?" Little Jixiang Grass King looked at the man and the cat in confusion.

"Meow~" The cat instantly ignored the barrier of the mechanism, appeared in the meditation room, and then started rubbing.

Xia Mian whispered outside about his identity - the Tree King's attendant.

"My husband made a prophecy that has kept me asleep till now."

"The Tree King also agrees with this. I don't know what His Majesty the Tree King thinks. Maybe He also thinks that you need me more."

"It seems to be true now. How can my sword tolerate such injustice and usurpation?" Xiamian's eyes seemed to be burning with anger. "Then let him chop off the head of the usurper and place it before your seat."

“Not really, not really.” The little Lucky Grass King was shocked.

"I... am trapped here... which actually makes sense." The little auspicious grass king said weakly.

"??"

"Cat? Meow?"

Not only was Xia Mian confused, but Maomao also felt puzzled.

The Little Auspicious Grass King began to complain about her "uselessness". After all, she was really no match for the Great Kindness Tree King who was almost "omniscient and omnipotent".

"This is exactly what learning is about." Xia Mian said, suppressing his anger.

"They imprison you here. How can you grow? Let me free you from this cage."

Xia Mian quickly solved the mechanism that imprisoned the little auspicious grass king and restored it to its original appearance.

"But, I have nowhere to go except here." The little auspicious grass king said with a blink.
