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

Ouyang Kong felt very uncomfortable when he went through this part of the story, and I believe that Naxida, who experienced it firsthand, must have felt even worse.

Any extra comfort now is meaningless; companionship is the most enduring form of tenderness.

Perhaps sensing Ouyang Kong's thoughts, Naxida still gave him a smile.

What a gentle god!

The scene in the sky continued, just as the Great Tree King had said. The forbidden knowledge had been mostly cleared away, but the remaining bit was the most difficult to deal with.

It was that taboo knowledge, which was difficult to eradicate, that allowed the Sumeru Rainforest in the Dead Zone to spread for 500 years without being eradicated.

"A sudden headache gave me a bad feeling. I then remembered that my consciousness was connected to the World Tree. While I was clearing away the forbidden knowledge in the World Tree, the forbidden knowledge also came to me."

Or perhaps, from the very beginning, my existence was already tainted.

Naxi Da and Ouyang Kong tightened their grip on each other's hands. Just thinking about how painful it would be to be corrupted by forbidden knowledge was enough.

Compared to the pain, what the Great Tree King said next was the most terrifying.

"Even if I die, my existence will be stored in the World Tree in the form of memories and knowledge, so that forbidden knowledge can never be completely eradicated."

For the people of Douluo Continent, this is a curse that even death cannot expel, and that will continue to bring misfortune to their descendants.

No one wants to bear such a curse; it's too terrifying.

What the Great Compassion Tree King said next explained why Ah Mao couldn't delete himself.

I can never "delete" my own existence, because that would trigger a paradox.

Therefore, I broke off the purest branch from the World Tree as my "reincarnation," which is you.

I left you clues to guide you here, solely so that you could completely "erasure" the corrupted me.

Nasita, who was in the sky, immediately realized this and her expression became anxious.

"Wait, no... no, this isn't right!"

The Great Tree King then smiled.

"Hehe, you've already realized what this means. You're really smart."

Just as you might imagine, the World Tree contains all the knowledge and memories of this world.

If you erase me from the World Tree, it's as if I never existed in this world.

But this is the only way to truly save the World Tree.

The Great Tree King truly demonstrated what a great deity is; even in death, he continued to guide his successors to erase his existence and completely save the world.

The so-called gods of the Douluo God Realm are either slacking off or racking their brains to compete for the power of faith. None of them resemble gods. Their existence is a complete defilement of the word "god".

The only angel god who looked somewhat respectable had also perished long ago and had only recently been resurrected by the Heavenly Curtain as a reward.

Even the angels are now marveling: "The Great Tree King is truly magnificent; compared to it, a firefly pales in comparison to the moon."

The present-day Nasita and the Nasita in the sky share the same thoughts and feelings.

"No! There must be another way. People loved you so much, everyone has always missed you, and so have I... I... How can I just forget you like this?"

"Buyer, you are the god of wisdom, you should know that this is the only way, there is no other choice."

"But...but...this is too cruel. I...I don't want to forget you!"

Nasita's voice was already choked with emotion, and many of the people watching the sky also began to sob.

Ouyang Kong took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears that had streamed down Naxida's cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Ouyang Kong shook his head.

"Nasita, you still have me. I will stay with you."

The voice of the Great Compassion Tree King rang out from the sky once more.

"Buyer, don't be so sad. As a wise man, you should be happy that you have finally found the answer."

The King of the Great Compassion Tree spoke these words with great nonchalance, but how could he possibly be truly happy at this moment?

"This is the answer you've been searching for: 'To make the world completely forget me.'"

These words were so cold, yet so warm, deeply moving.

Then, the final confession of the Great Tree King was played on the screen.

We all dwell beneath the tree of wisdom, attempting to read this world.

As the Great Tree King spoke, it emitted a silvery-green light and slowly walked towards Naxida.

The Great Tree King gently lifted Nasita's cheek, softly wiped away her tears, and embraced her.

Read from the soil, read from the rain.

Then it transformed into a white bird, climbed to the top of a branch, and finally caught the crucial leaf.

Once upon a time, I was the only individual in the world capable of dreaming.

In my dream, everyone falls asleep after nightfall.

[Whimsical ideas floated into the human mind; some rolled to the ground, while others soared into the sky.]

It connects everything into a dazzling web.

Within the three thousand worlds, there are even smaller worlds, where all destinies boil and boil.

Nasita understood completely at that moment. She reached out and hugged the Great Tree King, and at the same time used the World Tree's permission to completely delete the existence called "Great Tree King".

The body of the Great Tree King gradually became transparent in Nasita's arms, and finally shattered and disappeared completely, turning into leaves.

Naxida, kneeling on the ground in the sky, couldn't stop the tears from falling. The heart-wrenching pain brought tears to the eyes of most of the people watching the sky.

Ouyang Kong embraced Naxida, offering her warmth; as a traveler, there was nothing he could do.

But now he is the first sage of Bouyel, and he will surely soothe Narcida's sorrow.

Meanwhile, the Great Compassion Tree King's directness in the sky continued.

I gradually came to understand that these indescribable, yet eternally changing things are the most profound things in the world.

Only these can completely eradicate that madness.

Only dreams can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness.

The leaves that the Great Compassion Tree King transformed into drifted towards the World Tree, and through the World Tree, they drifted towards the entire Sumeru.

These leaves fall one by one, disappearing after touching people.

Those afflicted with the Demon Scale Disease experienced a complete cure after touching the leaves, and everyone was enveloped in a peaceful atmosphere.

They did not know that this tranquility, this sweet dream, was the final gift from the Great Tree King.

I am both the one who sets the question and the one who seeks the solution.

Saving the world with the dreams of humanity was once my answer.

Now, you have found your own answers.

I will return all dreams to the world.

Farewell, children of Mount Sumeru! May you have sweet dreams tonight.

In the Church of Christ, tears streamed down Cole's face. Tinari, Sesos, Seno, and even Nefer and Dolly all bowed sincerely to the Great Tree King in the sky.
