In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

As the story unfolds, monsters such as Hilichurls and Ghost Hounds appear, all of which are manifestations of the contamination of forbidden knowledge.

Nasita and the traveler defeated the monsters and boarded the airship, which set sail towards their final destination.

"Nasita, the final truth is about to be revealed. Are you ready?"

Naxi Da looked at Ouyang Kong and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, whatever the truth may be, I will accept it. I am a god of Sumeru, and I will take responsibility."

The scene in the sky continues, with the traveler and Nasita appearing beneath the World Tree, the pink environment giving a warm feeling.

Opposite them stood a figure that looked exactly like Nasita.

"Exactly like me, another me? You are the Great Tree King?"

"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised by how I look?"

This place recreates the appearance of the World Tree and the earth in the past, but it is still only a world of consciousness.

Because you and I share the same essence, we appear the same.

"Essentially the same? Why?"

"Heh, because you are my reincarnation!"

"Reincarnation?"

"Yes, as the King of the Great Tree of Compassion, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch broken off from the World Tree."

Just as a tree dies, its branches will grow and become another large tree; this is also a continuation of life.

Although the previous sky had already shown this point, the words of the Great Tree King completely confirmed it.

"I am the continuation of the life of the Great Tree King, but I do not wish to replace your existence!"

As Nasita thought this to herself, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Ouyang Kong's hand.

And the voice of the Great Compassion Tree King continued from the sky.

"What you see before you is merely a wisp of consciousness left behind by the wings of Great Compassion; the real one must have been dead for a long time."

Judging from your current appearance, it has been about 500 years. You have finally arrived, me after reincarnation.

When Nasita heard the Great Tree King say such words so calmly, she felt as if her heart had been clenched, a feeling of indescribable discomfort.

Nasita, on the celestial canvas, asked in a questioning tone, "Will I one day become a great god like you?"

Nasita, now standing beside Ouyang Kong, thought to herself, "I will definitely become a great god like you, the Great Tree King!"

Having experienced many things, Nasita has now matured.

On the celestial screen, the Great Tree King said to Naxida: "Although you and I are of the same essence, our destinies will certainly be different. Everything has its own unique destiny."

Just like a branch that grows into a new tree will never be exactly the same as the original.

"So, you mean fate is the ultimate knowledge, right?"

"That's a great idea, I agree. And that's why you won't become me, but you might become a god even greater than me, haha!"

The real-life Nasita and the Nasita in the sky move in sync, both looking at the Great Tree King.

The Great Tree King continued, "I have seen in you a will that I did not possess back then. This will may lead to a completely different future, and that is the destiny that belongs only to you."

And your new destiny is a gift from everything you have experienced in the past.

Don't worry! The growth of wisdom is like that of trees and flowers; you just need to wait patiently for the flowers to bloom.

The words of the Great Compassion Tree King always carry a philosophical meaning that can provoke deep thought.

At this moment, Ah Mao thought about himself, and then about Naxida and the Great Compassion Tree King.

"What kind of fate is this! I will never submit to fate! I will definitely slap this fate hard across the face, hehehe!"

"Ah Mao, your smile is terrifying!"

Little Dulin's words directly interrupted the anti-neurotic Ah Mao.

"Ahem, you're not allowed to do that!"

At this moment, on the sky, the Great Tree King finally began to speak about what happened 500 years ago.

"At that time, the sky of Teyvat had turned pitch black. All seven gods except me had been summoned to a kingdom called Kanriyar. I also had another important mission, which was to protect the World Tree."

The history of Kanria is shrouded in mystery, so most of it has been concealed. The members of the Faith Council, including Ahma, Nefer, and Elhesen, listened intently, wanting to record more of the truth.

"The disaster came along with the contamination of forbidden knowledge. My consciousness is connected to the World Tree, so I noticed it immediately."

The mental anguish began to torment me, and by the time I arrived at the World Tree, it had already been corrupted by forbidden knowledge.

If it weren't for the fact that a thousand years ago I worked with the Crimson King to purify the pollution of forbidden knowledge, I probably would have been at a loss.

Nasita, in the sky, also asked a crucial question.

What exactly is taboo knowledge?

"That is a 'truth' that does not require knowledge of this world and cannot be analyzed. It comes from the bottom of the abyss and even I cannot understand it."

Our world rejects it, and because of this, all sorts of disasters have occurred in our world.

The World Tree records all of Teyvat's knowledge and past. If forbidden knowledge is allowed to contaminate the World Tree, the ultimate result will be the disintegration of the entire Teyvat.

The gods of the Douluo God Realm were also wondering what would happen if the forbidden knowledge mentioned in the heavenly curtain were to descend upon the Douluo Continent, and whether they had any way to stop it.

The reality filled them with despair. If that were to happen, the God Realm and Douluo Continent would likely be destroyed instantly, without even a chance to fight back.

The Great Tree King continued speaking.

"I knew then that I couldn't banish forbidden knowledge on my own, so I created a device to unify human wisdom, called 'The Void.'"

It was only then that the members of the Order of the Fathers realized that this was the original intention behind the creation of the "Void".

For 500 years, the scholars of the Church have not realized the nature of the "Void," but the "Doctor" has discovered the truth.

However, this beast "Doctor" used the truth he discovered to dig holes in dreams and create new gods, so it is no exaggeration to call him a born villain.

"I have always believed that dreams are also a crystallization of human wisdom. Although it is somewhat selfish to do this, I still used the 'void' to borrow human dreams."

I have gathered all the wisdom of mankind and dedicated all my strength to it...

Thanks to the wisdom of the people of Sumeru, forbidden knowledge has been largely expelled from the World Tree.

The Great Tree King's words sounded very relaxed, but everyone understood that the process was absolutely incredibly difficult.

Nasita now understood that the real key question was what followed: "Why was the Great Tree King forgotten?"
