In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

Rhodes and Narcida tried them one by one.

The elemental power from the Heart of God is acceptable, the elemental power from Narcida is acceptable, and even the elemental power from a grass slime is acceptable.

In short, they accept all comers.

However, what troubled Nasida was...

This Patisha orchid's need for elemental power is like a bottomless pit.

No matter how much elemental power she used to nourish it, the only change was that the leaves became even greener and brighter, but the flower buds that contained the consciousness of the Great Tree King remained unchanged.

for this.

Rhodes made a rough guess.

It is very likely that the Great Tree King's original accumulation far exceeded that of Nasita, which is why this situation of being unable to be fed occurred.

In other words.

The amount of grass elemental power required to awaken her is extremely large.

Taking the current situation as an example.

Even if Nasita waters it with elemental power every day, it would probably take a very long time for this flower bud to bloom successfully.

This conjecture also far exceeded Rhodes' original expectations.

He originally thought that with the help of this Patishalan and his own God's Eye, the Great Tree King should have awakened a consciousness.

This can be seen from the amount of elemental power this Patishalan draws.

Who knows, the one who wakes up might be the real Great Tree King, not the Great Tree King who ruled the Seven Worlds, but the Great Tree King who once ruled the Rainforest.

I just don't know what she will use to reshape her divine body.

A branch of the World Tree? Or this Patissa flower?

"Let's talk about the future later."

Rhodes shook his head slightly, then turned to Nasita and asked, "Did you find that thing?"

He asked that.

It is the spark that can save Appepp.

After confirming that the Great Tree King had a chance to awaken, Rhodes told Nasita about the fire and asked her to go to the Pure Good Palace to look for it.

Anyway.

Apep is now a ticking time bomb, a super bomb that could blow the entire Sumeru to the sky at any moment.

Her matter also urgently needs to be resolved.

"As you said."

"We did find something that looked very similar."

As she spoke, Nasita took out a piece of emerald green crystal that shimmered with fluorescence.

As soon as it was taken out.

Rhodes then sensed the exceptionally pure grass elemental power contained within it.

However, this elemental power is quite different from Nasita's elemental power and the elemental power that has dissipated on the continent of Teyvat.

How to describe it.

It gives people a sense of antiquity and vicissitude.

"This place is filled with pure grass elemental power."

“But it’s strange, I never knew that this thing existed in the Pure Goodness Palace before, and none of the great sages of the past have mentioned it.”

At this point, Naxi Da frowned slightly.

Five hundred years ago, after she was imprisoned, the great sages did not hold back and searched every corner of the Pure Good Palace.

But they never mentioned anything about fire, as if they hadn't found it at all.

The problem is that the location of this spark is not difficult to find.

Normally.

It's impossible that they can't see it.

"Probably because they lack confidence in their ability to control this thing."

Rod curled his lip.

The fire seed is not an ordinary storage of elemental power.

This thing was created by the Great Tree King and the race within Apep's body, simulating the operation of Apep's source of power, the 'Heart of the Oasis'.

Despite its small size, the elemental energy within the flame is exceptionally concentrated.

Moreover, the flame itself is very fragile, almost like a disposable item.

If used improperly, the elemental power within the fire can spread, causing very troublesome consequences.

Therefore, Rhodes is more inclined to believe that the Church had actually discovered the fire long ago, but they dared not use it rashly, so they had no choice but to continue storing it in the Pure Good Palace.

After we finished discussing this matter...

Nasita held the fire in her hand and carefully activated the grass elemental power within it.

She dared not exert too much effort.

They were afraid that this fragile spark would shatter before it could even be used.

It's about Apep, the Grass Dragon.

Rhodes has already told Narcida.

He claimed that the source of the information was a fragment of the consciousness of the Great Tree King.

Anyway, that fragment of consciousness was hidden in his God's Eye, so there's a reason for it no matter what.

Nasita did not raise any questions about this matter.

After she activated the flame, she indeed sensed a faint fluctuation.

This is the resonance between the spark and the heart of the oasis.

Using this connection, Nasida successfully located Apep's hiding place.

"Let's go now, we're in the desert."

Having located Apep, Nasida couldn't wait to set off.

The impact of the death of the Grass Dragon on Sumeru.

She knew it better than Rod.

Before Nasita could even make a move, Rhodes stopped her from acting impulsively.

"Wait a moment."

Rhodes stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Apep's attitude towards gods and humans is not so friendly, especially since this guy has been tormented by forbidden knowledge for so many years, and his negative emotions have been amplified to the extreme. We'd better find some helpers, at least to prevent her from attacking us right away, otherwise we'll be helpless."

"helper?"

Rhodes made a good point, and Narcida's impulsive heart calmed down for a while.

Taboo knowledge can indeed generate a large number of negative emotions in living beings and amplify them infinitely.

Just like the negative emotions that even Narcissus felt mentally depressed in the consciousness space of the Great Tree King.

In other words, Appepp's current emotional state is extremely unstable.

If the grass dragon were to go berserk and attack them before they could even send the fire into Apep's body, Nasita knew she wouldn't be able to withstand Apep.

"So who are you planning to contact?"

"Other gods?"

Nasita asked Rhodes, while mentally reviewing the information of the other rulers to see who would be the most suitable to ask for help.

"Do not."

To Narcida's surprise, Rhodes shook his finger and said, "The help we're looking for is a group of mushroom beasts."

Chapter 181 Ahapep, one of the Seven Sages of the Red King

Chapter 181 Ah Apep, one of the Seven Sages of the Red King

Find a group of fungus beasts as helpers.

Naxida was puzzled when she first heard about this.

In her opinion.

If we want to face the Grass Dragon head-on, we'll need to ask for a powerful outside help.

It has to be at least at the level of a god.

Even when Rhodes said he needed help, she had already identified two people who could help her.

One is Morax, the Geo Archon from Liyue next door, and the other is Fukaros, the Water Archon from Fontaine.

Morax needs little introduction.

The oldest living Daedric God on the continent of Teyvat, who earned a fearsome reputation during the Daedric Wars, and was a top-tier Daedric God who used force to suppress and expel all the Daedric Gods in the Liyue region.

If he's willing to help, he would certainly be a great asset in finding Appepp.

As for Fukaros, the water god of Fontaine.

This one is much younger, a second-generation demon god the same age as Nasita.

But she had been in charge of Fontaine for five hundred years with the qualities of a water goddess, and her faith was far stronger than his own. In any case, she was much stronger than he was now.

However, Rhodes said that he did not need the help of the gods.

Nasita didn't immediately question Rhodes. Instead, after some thought, she asked, "A mushroom beast related to Appepp?"
