Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Although their conversation was interrupted, the two could only awkwardly stop their incessant chatter after hearing Su Feng's reminder. At this moment, Zammaran's body moved slightly, and then a mass of sludge filled with pollution and venom gradually flowed out of its body.

"So...this is your method of preserving the 'fire'?"

Upon seeing the clump of sludge, Su Feng's eye twitched involuntarily. Although he knew that the danger from another world would turn into this form under the illumination of the Heavenly Nail, the thought of this thing being stuffed into the Grass Dragon's body later made him feel somewhat... terrible.

After all, this thing doesn't look very appealing.

“That’s right, this is the elemental life form that brought the ‘spark’ here. Under the illumination of the Heavenly Nail, it had to become so ugly, but only in this way could it ensure that the necessary ‘memories’ and ‘information’ could be preserved and escape the World Tree’s deletion.”

"Actually, the grass element crystal I have now is an unstable spark. It's just that without the necessary additional information, this spark is too unstable."

"Although it can be used, it may dissipate with the slightest irritation."

"Besides, if I had chosen the path of complete deletion back then, my memory would probably have suffered many problems, and I might not even remember how to solve Appepp's problem..."

"Therefore, I dispatched an elemental being with the correct information and memories to this place in order to preserve the most crucial part."

The Great Tree King breathed a sigh of relief after taking out a grass element crystal from the mud in front of him. Although he could recreate the 'Fire Seed' even if it was lost because he had survived, creating a 'Fire Seed' was not an easy task.

Especially for Nasita, who is still very young, creating a new 'spark' could be extremely detrimental, so using the power she has preserved would be the best option.

"So now..."

Having found its target, the Great Tree King gently reached out its hand to the mud in front of it. Then, grass elemental power, accompanied by the breath of life, dripped from the grass elemental crystal in its hand, and soon the vast elemental power reshaped the mud in front of it back to its original shape.

"I...this is..."

"Ah! Great King of Grass! I feel your presence once again!"

"You...it seems...you succeeded?"

"Have you... already... resolved the 'apocalypse'?"

Awakening from a long period of sealing and waiting, the elemental life gradually transformed from the sludge back into a true terrestrial rock mushroom. Then, a hoarse, bewildered but soon joyful voice emanated from its body.

"Yes, I have completely removed forbidden knowledge from Teyvat. From now on, 'Doom' will no longer be a problem for you. Now I need to solve the problem of the Grass Dragon."

Upon seeing the true mushroom of the Land of Circulation Rock before him, the Great Tree King's voice deepened slightly, but quickly became firm again.

The Great Tree King had anticipated this day when she made these arrangements, so she quickly adjusted her emotions.

"The Grass Dragon...yes...that's our home...I...want to go home..."

"The Grass Dragon... needs... to be saved!"

The words of the Great Tree King were like a switch, quickly reminding Lu Xingyan's true mushroom of its mission. The power within its body surged rapidly, and then a dazzling crystal, identical to the 'Fire Seed' in the Great Tree King's hand, was taken out of its body and began to fuse with the grass element crystal in the Great Tree King's hand.

"King of Grass...home...I beg for your salvation..."

At the same time, perhaps because it was affected by the battle here earlier, or perhaps because it had been transformed into sludge for too long, this true mushroom did not last long.

Especially after it took the 'Fire Seed' out of its body, it declined at a visible speed, but Su Feng could feel the continuous flow of elemental power from its body into the 'Fire Seed' that was merging and floating in front of the two of them.

Soon after the last bit of pure elemental power flowed into the 'Fire Seed', the Lu Xingyan True Mushroom before them completely turned into nothingness. All that remained was a word that was almost a prayer and the 'Fire Seed' that, after being completely integrated and stabilized, began to bloom with an even more brilliant light and was full of life.

"King of Grass... begs... to save... his homeland."

"..."

"Was that the elemental life form that just now emerged from the Grass Dragon's body, as you mentioned?"

After witnessing the disappearance of Lu Xingyan's original mushroom, Su Feng asked this question, and the Great Compassion Tree King slowly nodded.

"That's right, that's the elemental life form that made a pact with me."

The Great Tree King gently accepted the 'Fire Seed' that was clearly much more stable and powerful than the grass element crystal in his hand before.

"Alright, so now...aren't you going to give your subordinates a reward?"

Su Feng wasn't too concerned about Lu Xingyan's disappearance from his True Mushroom form. After all, it was just an elemental life form. Moreover, for elemental life forms whose essence is the aggregation of elements, as long as the element that once constituted them still exists, elemental life forms will be reborn sooner or later.

Since the other party was born from the body of the Grass Dragon, its return to the Grass Dragon's body as an element is merely a cycle of elemental reincarnation.

In comparison, the mushroom in front of me, which seems to be trembling, is more interesting.

It looks like this mushroom is about to act cute?

Chapter 59 Praise to Malan: I don't understand it, but I am deeply moved.

In the end, it took the Great Tree King a long time to appease Zammalan.

After all, in order to ensure that the 'spark' and the mission could be handed over to Nasita intact in the end, it had been in the dark, rocky abyss for who knows how long.

It is obvious that the Layered Rock Abyss is not as suitable for growth as Mount Sumeru, and Zammaran has had an extremely difficult time over the years.

Not to mention that the Abyss of Layered Rocks had experienced such a great upheaval some time ago. If it weren't for Zammaran's intervention, this True Mushroom of the Land Rock probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now and hand over what it had preserved intact to the Great Tree King.

In any case, this big mushroom has done a great job.

So it's only right to spend a little time soothing it.

However, it was really too strange for a Nasita who hadn't even reached his chest to try to soothe a mushroom that was throwing a tantrum dozens of meters tall like a mother hen. Even Su Feng couldn't help but want to say something when he saw this scene.

The size difference is just too big; this is not the kind of contrast that makes someone look cute!

Fortunately, the Great Tree King didn't keep Su Feng in a dilemma for too long. Knowing exactly what plants were thinking, she successfully comforted Zammaran after she had completed her mission and returned to Su Feng's side.

"So things are all settled here?"

After seeing the Great Tree King return to his side, Su Feng casually asked a question, but soon he saw Nasita open her arms to him as if she wanted a hug.

Well, after seeing this scene, Su Feng knew that the Great Tree King had returned control of the body to Nasita—and only Nasita would intentionally or unintentionally make such childish, coquettish gestures towards him.

This might be because Su Feng almost saved her and Xumi, or it might be because Naxida instinctively wanted to find someone to rely on and Su Feng happened to be by her side.

In short, when the two of them are alone together, Nasita always displays a cuteness that is almost like that of a child.

To be more precise, although she was five hundred years old, Narcissus's age was actually proportionate to her size among the gods.

However, Su Feng did not reject Naxida's little bit of willfulness.

After all, who could resist a child as adorable as Nasita looking at them with those pitiful eyes and wanting a hug?

"The seed has been obtained, so now we need to consider how to get Appepp to obediently accept treatment."

"It has been corrupted by forbidden knowledge for too long. Even though I have completely removed the forbidden knowledge now, the influence it once had on it will not disappear. Moreover, the void that appears in its body because of the disappearance of forbidden knowledge will inevitably bring it heavy pressure."

"I don't think Appepp can remain calm and composed under these circumstances."

As Su Feng picked her up, Nasita naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered her worries in his ear.

Nasida now regards Su Feng as her 'sun'. As an immature little grass, she naturally wants to be as close as possible to the sun that can give her sunshine and protection.

If you encounter a problem that you can't make up your mind about, you will naturally hope to get help and a decision from the 'Sun'.

"Don't worry, if all else fails, we'll use some brutal methods."

"Anyway, Appepp is very weak right now. I don't think it can cause much trouble, nor do I think it can be my opponent."

Compared to Nasita, who was deeply worried about Appepp's situation, Su Feng was not so concerned about it at the moment.

After all, the main reason Appepp is unable to move right now is simply because he is worried that the other party will drag Sumeru down with him before he dies.

But that doesn't mean that violent means are completely unusable. As long as we leave it with a breath of life, that's fine, right?

"Alright, but before that, we have a gift for you. We've been putting it off because we weren't ready, but it's almost done now—we'll give it to you before we deal with Appepp!"

"Let's go back to Jingshan Palace first. You'll be very excited when you see that thing later."

Although Su Feng's answer was somewhat harsh, Nasita didn't care; that's just Su Feng's personality.

However, Nasita immediately changed the subject, remembering something else.

"Ok?"

After hearing Nasita's words, Su Feng was puzzled. He didn't immediately understand what Nasita meant. Seeing the confusion in Su Feng's eyes, Nasita's lips curled into a sly smile.

"Didn't I say before that I would offer the most precious gift after saving Sumeru? I just hadn't prepared it before. Now that everything is ready, there's no need to delay!"

"And I guarantee you'll be absolutely stunned when you see this gift!"

As Nasita spoke, her eyes sparkled with playfulness and anticipation. Clearly, she was quite confident in the gift she had prepared and was even looking forward to seeing Su Feng's expression when he saw it.

"Oh? So confident?"

In fact, Su Feng didn't care too much about the so-called gifts. After all, the most precious thing to him was the power of the many Herrschers, and there was very little else that could move him.

Therefore, Su Feng didn't think Nasita could offer anything that would move him, but he didn't express his thoughts either.

"Hmph, you'll find out soon enough."

Although Su Feng didn't say it aloud, he wasn't good at hiding his emotions, so Nasita easily sensed his thoughts. Then, she proudly raised her little face, ready to show Su Feng what the 'most precious gift' really meant!

"Then I'll look forward to it. But for now, hold on tight to me. I don't want you to fall from the sky when we go back. If that happens, it will take a lot of effort to find you."

Su Feng didn't pay much attention to Nasita's little stubbornness, and even started teasing her. Soon he was met with Nasita's angry glare, but unfortunately, this little action that made her look even cuter couldn't stop the 'audacious' Su Feng.

So the two of them quickly left the bottomless abyss of rock amidst their playful bickering, while Zammaran, left behind, stood there stunned for a long time.

"That's... the Grass God... but..."

Zammaran, now completely bewildered, wanted to say something, but being just a giant mushroom, it couldn't find a suitable word from its memory to describe its current thoughts.

Is that little girl who seems to be throwing a tantrum really the wise Grass God?

"Is Zammalan... not wise enough?"

In the end, Zammalan could only utter this question with a puzzled expression, and then secretly resolved that he must make the most of his wisdom once he returned to Sumeru.

Of course, before that, it has to find a way to extend its silk vines back to Sumeru, which is a huge undertaking!

Chapter Sixty: Nasita sent out 'Nasita'

What could be considered 'most precious' to Nasita?

The answer isn't actually that hard to guess.

For the gods, especially the earthly rulers, almost everything in the mortal world is just fleeting smoke; even the so-called nation and people are, to some extent, a burden to them.

Even if their respective countries and people are indeed treasured by earthly rulers, they still cannot escape this fact.

But it's obvious that Nasita would never give up the positions of Sumeru and Grass God to Su Feng, especially since these things really can't be given away.

Therefore, Nasita's most precious possession is only one thing left—herself...or rather, her essence.
