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

Rhodes couldn't rashly use lethal force.

As mentioned earlier, these apocalyptic grass dragon people have abandoned everything, including their own power, for the sake of survival.

Therefore, apart from their strong vitality, they are actually not much different from the most ordinary monsters in the outside world.

The only thing worth mentioning is the filth of forbidden knowledge that permeates his body.

Nasita, who is working tirelessly to activate the fire to heal Apep, must absolutely not come into contact with them.

Rhodes then used elemental power to create three layers of isolation shields.

In order not to harm these grass dragon people who still had a chance to recover, he deliberately used the gentlest grass elemental power to isolate them all.

"what?"

Just as Rhodes was preparing to create another layer of isolation.

He suddenly noticed that tiny specks of green light were drifting toward him.

This was originally intended to activate the fire elemental power of the Oasis Heart.

But the grass elemental energy wasn't aimed at him; it was aimed at the flowerpot he was holding!

Furthermore, as time went on, the flow of this elemental force visibly shifted more and more towards this direction. What started as a 1:9 split quickly became a 5:5 split.

If this continues.

It's likely that it won't be long before the Great Tree King intercepts all the elemental power of the fire seed.

"Hey, Great Tree King, this isn't the time to fight over elemental power!!!"

Rhodes's lips twitched. He couldn't care less about creating an isolation barrier to protect Narcida anymore. He hurriedly reached out to block and try to stop the elemental forces that were being drawn in by the Great Tree King.

No matter what methods he used, even employing the power of Hermanubis, he still couldn't stop the grass elemental energy emanating from the fire from drifting toward the Great Tree King.

"!!!"

This unexpected turn of events made Rod even more anxious.

This spark was created by the Great Tree King when he was at his weakest after quelling the pollution of forbidden knowledge caused by the Red King.

The elemental power sealed within might not even be enough to activate the Heart of the Oasis.

Now this unexpected event has been added to the mix.

If the elemental power in the spark is insufficient at a crucial moment, it will create many unnecessary troubles.

As for why this problem occurred.

Rod had a pretty good idea.

The elemental power within this spark was left behind by the Great Tree King.

For the Great Tree King, who is currently in dire need of restoring her elemental power, this power she left behind back then is undoubtedly the most suitable nourishment at present.

Worse.

The consciousness of the Great Tree King has not been restored, and it is impossible to communicate with him.

In other words.

She was completely unconscious at this moment, instinctively reclaiming her power.

If it were under normal circumstances...

Rhodes then let her absorb these elemental forces.

But definitely not now.

Apep's Oasis Heart requires a large amount of elemental power to be reactivated.

If the Great Tree King intercepts it.

That means Nasida has to step in to fill the elemental power gap, or the grass dragon people present will have to sacrifice themselves.

However, due to Rhodes' prior instructions, Nasida never used the fire. Even though she felt sorry for the grass dragon people, she did not waste any of the fire's power to restore their forms. Therefore, the grass dragon people here still maintained their weak elemental power mushroom beast form and apocalyptic appearance.

In this state.

The elemental power they can provide is definitely insufficient.

And there's another tricky thing.

The tinder is a one-time use item.

Once you start using it, you absolutely cannot stop, otherwise it will definitely explode the second time you use it.

I didn't use Rod's reminder.

Nasita noticed the anomaly as soon as it appeared.

When she discovered that it was Patishalan, the incarnation of the Great Tree King, who was eagerly intercepting elemental power, she did not hesitate for a moment. With one hand, she maintained the output of the fire seed, and with the other hand, she used her elemental power to urgently set up a circular barrier around Rhodes, trying to forcibly sever the connection between Rhodes and the fire seed.

However, before her elemental power could fully form a barrier, the Great Tree King directly absorbed it indiscriminately, grabbing the fire elemental power while also pulling in Nasida's elemental power, like a gluttonous beast, devouring both elemental powers together.

"."

Seeing this, Rod made a snap decision and roared, "Appepp, get me out of here!!!"

If we don't leave now, it will be too late!

"Humph--"

With a cold snort, the scenery before Rhodes' eyes changed, and he returned to the windswept, sandy mountain area he had been in before.

I recovered from the dizziness caused by being teleported back and forth.

Looking at the increasingly lively Patty Sharan in his hand, whose buds had even begun to open, Rod wanted to say, "You've really ruined this for me," but after thinking about it, he didn't say it and just sighed helplessly.

The Great Tree King in its current state has no subjective consciousness.

It was purely an action driven by instinct, and she can't be blamed at all.

Moreover, Rhodes is no longer concerned about the Great Tree King, but rather about Narcida, who is left alone in the heart of the oasis.

Such a big mistake has occurred.

If the elemental power provided by the fire source is insufficient, given Narcida's personality, it's hard to say what she might do.

Without hesitation, Rhodes placed the Great Tree King on the ground and called out again, "Appepp, stay here and watch over the Great Tree King for me, then take me back! Quickly!!!"

They were repeatedly ordered around by a human.

This made Appepp somewhat impatient.

Regardless of whether Rod was trying to save her or not, she was still a little unhappy.

Specific manifestations.

Rhodes, who had returned to the heart of the oasis, was thrown down from mid-air by her. If Rhodes hadn't been skilled and adjusted his falling posture in time, he would have been seriously injured.

But now is not the time to lose your temper.

Upon landing, Rhodes' attention immediately shifted to Narcida.

really.

Despite Rod and Narcida's quick response to the Great Tree King's snatching, they realized they couldn't handle it and immediately had Apep send the Great Tree King away.

However, the elemental power stored in the fire seed was still insufficient.

Nasida had to resort to other means to fill this void.

Fortunately.

She was using the power of the Grass God's Heart, not her own power.

See this scene.

Rhodes felt a great sense of relief.

He was afraid that Nasita might be too stubborn and take over the elemental power of the fire herself when she saw that it wasn't enough.

It should be noted that Nasita's power is extremely weak compared to that of a normal deity.

They wanted her to fill the vacancy herself.

That will most likely involve using the innate ability that the Grass God once mentioned.

Or.

A special skill for using elemental forces that one is born with.

That is, when a large amount of elemental power is needed, the Grass God can reverse the growth process to gain a powerful force beyond the limit.

However, once this technique is used...

Nasita will encounter the same situation as when the Great Tree King cleansed forbidden knowledge, with her body degenerating drastically, possibly even regressing to the branch-like form she had when she was first born into this world.

The good news is...

Currently, with the heart of God present, Nasita doesn't need to forcibly overdraw her power.

The news is uncertain.

I wonder if the elemental power in the heart of God is enough.

Although Nasita possesses more than one Heart of God, she cannot use the Heart of the Wind God, so she still has to rely on the power of the Heart of the Grass God.

The key issue is that no one can say for sure how much elemental power Appepp's Oasis Heart needs to consume to activate it.

Rod dared not leave.

Fearing that the elemental power of the Heart of God would be insufficient, Nasita, in a moment of desperation, decided to take matters into her own hands.

So he helped to block the increasingly frenzied apocalyptic grass dragon people while carefully observing Nasita's situation, ready to intervene at any time.

This tense state continued until the heart of the oasis finally came back to life.

Correct.

It means it came back to life.

The powerful life force emanating from the reactivated Oasis Heart can eliminate both physical and mental fatigue with just a light sniff.

The Grass Dragon people are now gathered at the heart of the oasis.

Whether it's in fungus form or apocalyptic form.
