Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

world Tree!

Why were Naxida and the Great Tree King able to sit in the position of the Grass God? Even the Red King, who descended from the heavens, had to treat the Great Tree King with respect.

You should know that the Crimson King has the common flaw of being a creator of the heavens—arrogance.

Back then, the Crimson King dared to imitate the Seven Rulers, subdue the Seven Demon Gods, establish the Seven Pillars, and proclaim himself the Lord of the Four Directions of the Earth. If we're talking about arrogance and haughtiness, then the Crimson King was definitely among the first in the mortal world.

The reason he was in the first batch was because he wasn't the only one among the many creations of the High Heavens that came down, and the general characteristics of these creations of the High Heavens...

But to earn the Red King's respectful treatment requires considerable ability and background.

At least in Fontaine, King Remus, who also descended from the heavens, paid little attention to Fontaine's water god. That guy even dared to take the terrifying step of banishing pure water and burying the source, which undoubtedly showed that he completely ignored and severely offended Fontaine's water god.

So why did the Red King treat the Great Tree King with such courtesy?

It's still because of the World Tree.

The importance of this giant tree that supports the entire Teyvat far exceeds everyone's imagination. Even the arrogant Amon must treat the Great Tree King, who is the incarnation of the World Tree, with respect.

This is not only because of the Great Tree King's strength and wisdom, but also because as the incarnation of the World Tree, she is even more noble than the Red King, who is the offspring of the Heavenly Emperor.

So, after all that, what gift did Nasida prepare for Su Feng?

The answer was beyond Su Feng's expectations. When he saw Naxida, who had returned to Jingshan Palace, silently but with a smug look on her face, pull out that small, seemingly transparent branch from the void, he was almost startled to death.

Because this is a broken branch of the World Tree—after sensing the surging knowledge and information contained within this broken branch, he clearly understood that it was an extremely pure branch from the World Tree.

Or to put it more simply, this is the body and essence of Nasita that has not yet been activated.

Yes, because Nasita was also the purest branch of the World Tree that was broken off by the Great Tree King. It's just that Nasita possessed a special privilege unique to the World Tree incarnation.

The branch that Nasida has now given to Su Feng naturally doesn't have that unique authority, but it's still not to be underestimated.

Because, in essence, this is just a 'Nashida' except for the lack of its own consciousness. Su Feng can even say with certainty that if one day Nasita were to have to sacrifice herself like the Great Tree King, then the branch placed in front of him now could become the new body of Nasita.

This is practically the next 'Nashida'!

This alone shows Nasida's trust and gratitude towards Su Feng.

Even setting that aside, the branches themselves are still quite remarkable.

The World Tree contains far too many possibilities and powers. Even a single branch has the potential to become a top-tier demon god. Although Nasita is young, her strength is not weak among the many demon gods, especially if she is forced to use the World Tree's authority. What Nasita is doing now is sending out such power.

Of course, pure power is not important to Su Feng, and Nasita naturally knows this as well. Therefore, the World Tree branch that was sent out was not simply for Su Feng to look at.

In fact, this branch still retains the ability to connect to the World Tree, and Nasita has also left a part of her own power and consciousness in the branch, so at this moment, this branch is almost equivalent to another body of Nasita.

Seeing the disbelief in Su Feng's eyes, Nasita finally nodded in satisfaction. Then she opened her palm and released a few points of light carrying her unique power information.

After these points of light merged into the small branch in front of Su Feng, the seemingly fresh branch was gradually assimilated into a ball of light. Then, under Nasida's control, this ball of light surged toward Su Feng's right wrist.

Su Feng did not stop the light from approaching him. He was becoming increasingly curious about what Nasita had prepared for him. Soon, when the light dissipated, Su Feng saw the wonderful, simple yet absolutely beautiful slender vine bracelet on his wrist.

This is a bracelet formed from the branch of the World Tree, but it is clearly more than just a bracelet.

'Ah! Ah! Ah! Sound check, sound check, now my sun, can you hear my voice?'

As the bracelet was put on Su Feng's wrist, Nasita's voice gradually appeared in his mind. When Su Feng looked at Nasita, who was just sitting there obediently, the little girl showed a bright smile.

The voice that appeared in Su Feng's mind at this moment could not be Narcida invading Su Feng's body, but rather a communication she made through the bracelet on Su Feng's hand. However, it was clear that what Narcida wanted to send out was not a simple communicator.

'Communication is working properly... Now I'm going to demonstrate the bracelet's biggest feature!'

After confirming that the bracelet was working properly, Nasita decisively activated its most crucial function. As Nasita's power surged in and her permissions were unlocked, a massive amount of information gradually opened its doors to Su Feng!

At this moment, Su Feng reconnected with the World Tree, and then it seemed that he could access all the information in Teyvat at will.

Just like when he dealt with Nibelungen, Su Feng once again gained the ability to access information about the entire Teyvat. The only difference was that this time, the most basic rule information was not presented to him in a well-organized manner as before.

Even so, this was still an unimaginable help for Su Feng, who had already mastered the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Besides, he wasn't alone at the moment.

Chapter Sixty-One: Apep, the Grass Dragon

Su Feng assumed that what Nasita had given him was a branch of the World Tree, which served as both a backup and a communication device that could connect to the World Tree and allow him to access information from it at any time.

This is indeed very useful for Su Feng. After all, the power of reason requires a lot of data and information. Without a deep understanding of what you want to reproduce, you can't use this power well at all.

Being able to find the relevant information and data he wanted from the World Tree anytime, anywhere was a huge improvement for Su Feng—it was this that allowed him to suppress the Nibelungen clone before.

However, Su Feng still underestimated the significance of the 'gift' that Nasita had given him.

In fact, Narcida could be seen as handing over almost everything to Su Feng—the pure branches of the World Tree are not something that can be picked at will. As the behemoth that supports the entire Teyvat, the World Tree contains almost everything about Teyvat.

Even the Great Tree King only chose to pluck Nasita in her current form after he himself was corrupted by forbidden knowledge and had no other choice.

Although the Great Tree King still exists today, it is not truly real, because the real Great Tree King died the moment Nasita appeared.

There can only be one incarnation of the World Tree. The Great Tree King that remains in the World Tree now is nothing more than a remnant soul, a trace of residual information and consciousness.

Can she really be considered alive after all this?

The Great Tree King doesn't care about this now, and Nasita doesn't even want to think about it.

Now that Nasita has plucked a branch from the World Tree, it means that she has chosen to begin another new life, but this 'reincarnation' has been temporarily interrupted by Nasita before it has truly begun.

But one day the 'cycle' will begin again, and when she has already removed the next Buyer, she will become the bracelet on Su Feng's hand.

Nasita believed that during the long wait for the 'reincarnation' to begin, she would always use this bracelet to connect with Su Feng, who was searching for information in the World Tree, and that Su Feng would surely leave his power and essence within it.

So after that, a new 'Buyer' who has merged his power and essence with Su Feng's will reappear by Su Feng's side.

That was the real 'gift' that Nasida had prepared for Su Feng.

However, Su Feng obviously had little chance of knowing this secret that belonged only to the World Tree lineage, so he really took Nasita's gift to him as just a communication and connection platform to the World Tree.

In short, after receiving the 'gift' from Nasita, Su Feng gently rubbed Nasita's head to express his gratitude. Nasita, whose ponytail was even messed up by his rough actions, naturally glared at Su Feng.

......

Nasida put aside her gift, which was full of her own little thoughts, for the time being. After all, even if it really happened, she didn't know when it would happen, so there was no need to consider it for the time being.

Finally, under Nasita's angry glare, Su Feng had no choice but to re-braid her hair. At this moment, he had already carried Nasita deep into the Sumeru Desert.

The Sumeru Desert is extremely vast—it was once a lush forest, or rather, the entire Sumeru was once a lush forest, until one day the Green Grass Dragon's reckless behavior finally reached its limit, and a celestial nail fell from the sky, completely turning everything into scorching sand.

You should know that the rainforest of Mount Sumeru was recreated bit by bit by the Great Compassion Tree King!

But Apep is the Grass Dragon, a grass dragon that existed since the birth of Teyvat. Its strength and greatness need no further explanation, and its innate strong adaptability allowed it to survive Sky Spikes and Desertification!

Even though its once verdant scales have turned into the color of red sand, and even though it feigns compliance with the offspring of the heavens, it still has not given up its intention to seek revenge, nor has it given up its pursuit of the dark power and knowledge that the Dragon King Nibelungen brought from the depths of the starry sky.

Then this loyal subject of the Nibelungs suffered a great loss at the hands of his own dragon king.

It is unrealistic to expect the Nibelungen, a dragon king who prefers to roam among the stars, to have much affection for the dragons that constantly surge across the land. The Nibelungen had already expressed his contempt and indifference towards the dragonborn in the abyss.

Even earlier, Zahaka, who fought alone in Liyue until the very end, also demonstrated the coldness of this dragon king—Zahaka was the original Geo Dragon King, who even gave up everything he once had to fall into the abyss and follow in Apep's footsteps, but what was the result?

Zahaka charged in alone to detonate the entire Teyvat ley lines, but Nibelungen offered no help until he was completely eliminated.

If this is how loyal subjects who have already followed in His footsteps are treated, will the Nibelungs give special consideration to those who have not yet made a decision?

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, when Apep devoured Amon's remains, which were filled with forbidden knowledge and abyssal corruption, he naturally suffered a great loss.

Is Apep important to the Nibelungen and the Abyss?

It doesn't matter at all.

Therefore, it didn't even cast a glance at Apep, who had come into contact with forbidden knowledge and the abyss. The terrifying corruption of the abyss was undoubtedly displayed on Apep, and it was even aimed at completely corrupting Apep and turning him into a puppet and an outpost for attacking Teyvat!

Given this situation, it's easy to imagine how bad Appepp's condition must be.

Now, standing above the boundary between the Thousand Ravines Sandy Land and the Desolate Rock Desert, meticulously sensing the giant dragon hidden beneath layers of red sand, Su Feng also knew the answer.

There is no doubt that Appepp is currently at his weakest point since his inception.

The abyss eroded far too much of his power and body, and when Nasita completely removed the forbidden knowledge from the World Tree, it also took away far too much of Apep's body tissue because it had almost completely merged with Apep's body tissue.

Let me give you a more specific number.

After the forbidden knowledge was removed, Apep's body tissues were reduced by at least half, and his elemental power, in Su Feng's perception, may have even fallen to a level lower than Dvalin's!

Such horrific damage has shaken Appepp's foundation, and now it doesn't even have the last bit of elemental power to restart its self-repairing abilities.

If this continues, Apep will only be able to watch helplessly as his body gradually collapses, and when this collapse reaches a certain limit, a massive firework display capable of engulfing the entire Teyvat will be created.

After all, as an ancient grass dragon, what is truly terrifying about Apep is the authority it holds, and if that authority were to go out of control, the impact would be far greater than that caused by an elemental power surge.

Chapter 62 Appepp: Do you dare?

"Is Appepp's situation really that bad?"

Su Feng could sense Apep's condition, and Nasita, whom he was holding in his arms, could also sense Apep's body, which was riddled with holes and could collapse at any moment. However, she never expected that Apep's condition was much more serious than she had imagined.

In her view, Apep's body is now like a rickety toy made of building blocks—removing even one more block could trigger an avalanche-like chain reaction of collapse, but this is a result that Nasita simply cannot accept.

After all, if Apep explodes, Sumeru will be truly doomed. The scattered elemental power and authority will definitely turn a considerable area into a forbidden zone for mortals.

"But this guy doesn't seem to realize how bad his situation is. Hurry up, the shockwave coming later will probably be huge!"

"Gale! Heed my command!"

Su Feng tossed Naxi Da, who had been in his arms, behind his back, then raised his hands and gave his command to the Thousand Winds of Heaven and Earth. With his call, the Thousand Winds, which had been wandering in the mortal world without leaving a trace, suddenly surged joyfully toward Su Feng in the sky.

Under Su Feng's guidance and command, the previously free and unruly Qian Feng was gradually brought together, and the once scorching and clear sky was obscured by the sandstorm stirred up by Qian Feng.

But what truly caught the eye was the vast, raging wind that gradually gathered high in the sky.

It was as if the endless wind elements were cheering and jumping for joy at Su Feng's command, while the raging winds were gradually restrained within a small beam of light.

Just as Su Feng gathered endless winds, the previously almost dead-sounding sea of ​​sand below suddenly trembled violently, and then a huge and terrifying sand-yellow figure slowly emerged from the vast sea of ​​sand.

"You insignificant gods, relying on the majesty of the heavens, presume to be the lords of this land and wield your power with impunity, yet you dare to offend me once again?"

"Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?"

Enraged, Apep stared at Su Feng, who was gathering winds high in the sky, and roared. With his roar, a huge amount of grass elemental power gathered from his body into his mouth, and then Apep spewed out a breath that was flashing with crazy vitality into the sky.

At this moment, Apep, who thought he had reached the end of his road, chose the most reckless move. Su Feng, who had already discovered that the emerald dragon was almost completely insane, remained calm. He could sense the terrifying breath that was enough to cause his opponent to prematurely perish due to excessive growth and proliferation, but that alone was not enough to frighten him.

Faced with the attack, Su Feng simply waved his hand casually, and then the slender tornado formed by the Thousand Winds that had already gathered together rushed towards the Dragon King's breath.
