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

Now let’s see.

It wasn't some magical source of an oasis; it was clearly Apep who, without Nasita's knowledge, had been nourishing her with his elemental power.

This includes this time as well.

Under Apep's elemental power, the last bit of the bud finally fully opened, and a Patishalan the size of a fist bloomed in the flowerbed.

As the Patisha orchids bloom.

The Great Tree King, who sat atop the flower stamen, stood up, and its body gradually became ethereal, eventually merging completely into the Patishalan beneath its feet.

Followed by.

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

The grass-green light swept in from all directions like a tornado, surging wildly into Patishalan at the center.

Apep and Nasita also reached out at the same time, releasing their elemental power to replenish the massive amount of energy needed for the Great Tree King to reshape its body.

These things have nothing to do with Rhodes, who had long since lost the right to use the grass elemental power.

He and Wendy were simply witnesses, watching together as the Patishalan sprouted and grew again under the light of the grass elemental energy, releasing its own unique demonic aura.

soon.

A human figure faintly appeared in the air.

This is the outline of an adult's body. The features are not yet clear, but judging from the blurry clothing and face shape, it matches the characteristics of the Great Tree King and is not the Flower Goddess who Rhodes had previously suspected of possessing a body.

The demon god has been resurrected.

It is also the resurrection of a demon god who retains the authority of the grass god.

This would naturally no longer be a small matter.

As the figure of the Great Tree King became clearer, the flowerbed beneath her feet instantly burst into bloom, and hundreds of birds gathered in the sky above, seemingly welcoming the return of the Oasis Queen.

That's right.

She is the Queen of the Oasis, not the King of Plants.

Although the Great Tree King's powers and consciousness were still those of the Grass God, her body was ultimately revived with a bit of the Flower God's spiritual light.

in other words.

She is currently using Apep's elemental power and is also a half-grass god with the body of a flower goddess.

For the creatures that had once received the blessings of the Oasis Queen, celebrating the return of the Great Tree King was an instinctive act from the bottom of their hearts.

at the same time

Rhodes also heard the tribespeople in the city kneeling respectfully in worship of the flower goddess Nabu Marikata.

"You did it?"

Rod frowned slightly and asked Wendy beside him.

His ears are indeed more acute than before, but they haven't reached the point where he can accurately distinguish sounds.

Considering his experience in Mondstadt.

That means it could only be Wendy who did it.

"Hey~"

Wendy neither admitted nor denied it, but simply laughed and prepared to gloss over the matter.

"Don't even think about getting away with this!"

This time, Rhodes didn't grant his wish. Instead, he pressed for details: "Why did you specifically make me listen to these sounds? Is there a problem?"

As he said this, Rhodes frowned once again as he looked at the Great Tree King, which showed no sign of abnormality, trying to find some flaws.

"It's good for you."

Wendy uttered this seemingly nonsensical statement, and then no matter how Rhodes asked, he continued to pretend to be deaf or dumb, or give nonsensical answers that went in the opposite direction.

"."

As the sound grew louder and louder in his ears, Rod's lips moved, and he felt an urge to immediately plug his ears.

Unfortunately.

This was done by the Wind God.

Even if you plug your ears, you can't stop these sounds from entering your brain.

"why?"

After being repeatedly manipulated by the riddle master, a big question mark popped up.

Yesterday.

The Great Tree King had specifically and repeatedly reminded Rhodes that he must come to witness her resurrection, making no attempt to hide his expectation that Rhodes must come.

Even if she hadn't said anything, Rhodes would definitely have been there.

But it is precisely because he cannot be absent that the Great Tree King's special instructions seem particularly unique.

Rod had guessed why she said that.

In the end, he still couldn't figure it out. He could only conclude that the unusual behavior was because the Great Tree King might want to thank him or give him some benefit to make up for the loss of the Grass Elemental Eye.

Can.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Rod realized something was wrong.

Following his instincts, his gaze shifted from the flowerbed to the sky.

Then he realized what was wrong.

It was a magnificent throne, suspended in the sky, with three transparent silk threads hanging down from it to the flowerbed.

Two of them were undoubtedly on Nasita and the Great Tree King.

What made Rhodes' heart skip a beat was...

This third thread was actually attached to his body.

"What the hell?"

This discovery was incredible. Rhodes's mind went blank for a moment, as if it had exploded.

What is that throne?

no doubt.

The throne of the Grass God.

It is perfectly normal for this throne, representing the god of grass, to be connected with the Great Tree King and Naxida.

but

Why is this thing connected to me?

I clearly no longer have the ability to use the grass element, nor have I ever felt the power of the grass god within me.

It stands to reason.

This thing should be related to Appepp, right?

After all, that guy is the Grass Dragon, and the Divine Throne was created by splitting her power, so it should be connected to her, right?

What's with connecting it to myself?

Rod bit his lip and raised his hand to confirm again.

What doesn't match the scene before us is...

He still couldn't use his grass elemental power.

So what about this connection hanging down from the throne of the grass god?

"Hey!"

"Human boy!!!"

Appepp's voice interrupted Rod's thoughts, pulling him back from his random musings.

As soon as Rod looked up, he saw Apep reach out and grab the thread that connected him to the throne of the Grass God, his veins bulging suddenly.

Then a crisp 'snap' sound rang in Rhodes' ears.

Followed by.

Then, the thread that connected him to the throne of the Grass God was forcibly severed by Apep!

Furthermore, Rhodes clearly sensed—no, he should have made a visible discovery—that he could use grass elemental power again!

Chapter 208 The Operation of Self-Binding Shackles

With Appepp's support and Nasita's elemental power replenishment, they have the advantage of being able to provide assistance from the sidelines.

The resurrection of the Great Tree King went very smoothly.

When the strange phenomena all dissipated, the standard grown-up version of Narcissus appeared in the flower garden.

However, Rhodes was no longer interested in paying attention to these things.

His mind is now filled with the thread that binds him to the throne.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Rhodes's doubts were destined to remain unanswered.

Neither Appepp nor Wendy offered an answer.

Wendy replied, "It's not time for you to know yet," while Appepp left decisively after the Great Tree King was resurrected, without even glancing at Rhodes.

Compared to the other riddle-makers, Nasita was quite willing to answer.

Unfortunately.
