I'm in debt at Bengtie

Tinari looked at everyone in surprise.

“Yes, it’s not registered at all.”

"Although I'd like to help you, I still have forest patrol duties to do, so I can only apologize."

Tinari did not agree to Qiong's request.

"But I have an apprentice who happens to have time and can take you there."

Chapter 238: Digitalized Teyvat.

"Huh? I'll take them to Xumi City?"

In the city, Cole looked at the train crew in front of him with a confused look on his face.

"Master Tinari, you want me to come?"

"That's right, Kelai. I have something to do and can't go to Xumi City for the time being, so I asked you to help take them there."

Tinari said something that shocked Cole.

You must be kidding. Letting her lead the way? Doesn't Master Tinari know that she is a socially anxious person?

Facing Cole's shocked gaze, Tinari smiled slightly.

"Kole, I know what you're thinking, but as a ranger, interacting with others is inevitable. You usually follow me around, so there aren't many opportunities for interaction. This time is a good opportunity for you to get some practice. These people just happened to be coming from Liyue."

"And their destination isn't far away. It's the Adventurer's Guild in Xumi City. You also happen to know where the Adventurer's Guild is. Just take them there. Considering it will be late when you arrive, you can spend the night in Xumi City and come back the next day."

Tinari's words made Cole unable to refuse. Trying to talk to strangers was a necessary exercise for rangers. After all, rangers often encountered strangers in trouble in the rainforest, and rangers also needed to help them, so communication was necessary.

And as Tinari said, the distance this time is not far, from Conghua City to Xumi City, basically they walk on the main road, which is much simpler and easier than leading people in the rainforest. Tinari has also put a lot of effort into helping her grow.

"I understand, Master Tinari, I'll do my best!"

Although he was assigned the task suddenly, Tinari was also doing it for his own good, so Cole chose to accept this task. After all, this task was generally very simple.

"Well, in that case, I'll leave these travelers to you."

Putting Cole in front of everyone, Tinari waved goodbye, leaving Cole alone to face everyone.

Cole, who suffers from social anxiety, looks at the people in front of him. Although he has prepared himself mentally because of Tinari's words, he is still very nervous when he faces the train crew alone.

This nervousness made her look at everyone and she didn't dare to speak first.

How should I start the conversation? Should I introduce myself when I say hello first? Or what should I say?

"Hey, good evening, little girl."

Qiong was the first to raise her hand to greet. Knowing that Ke Lai was relatively weak in social situations, Qiong chose to take action first. After all, it would be a bit difficult for her to expect Ke Lai to take action.

"Good evening."

In response to Qiong's greeting, Cole immediately responded.

"I'm Qiong, a member of the Star Train crew."

"I am March 7th!"

"I'm Gui Naifen, you can call me Xiao Guizi!"

"Himeko, the train's pilot."

"Valta."

"Dan Heng."

Everyone on the train introduced themselves, and Wendy, who followed, also introduced herself.

"The best bard in Teyvat, Wendy."

"I'm... Cole."

Cole nervously introduced himself.

"Then Miss Cole, I'll ask you to lead the way for us from now on."

"Please leave it to me."

After accepting the commission from Qiong, Kelai immediately nodded and began to lead everyone towards Xumi City.

It was evening when everyone entered Huachengguo, and it was dark when they left Huachengguo. From afar, they could see that Xumi City had lit up the lights on the huge sacred tree. The huge sacred tree with brilliant lights was as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the sea in the rainforest of Xumi at night, guiding the people in the rainforest towards Xumi City.

Led by Cole, a group of people on the train headed towards Xumi City, which was guided by lights. Because they were walking on the main road all the way, there was no particularly dense rainforest blocking their view, and everyone could see the rainforest at night by the moonlight.

"Wow, I have to say, it's unexpectedly nice to watch the stars in the rainforest at night."

San Yueqi held her beloved camera and took pictures of the starry night sky.

"Is it beautiful? Too bad those stars are fake."

Qiong ruthlessly reveals the truth.

"Ah? This starry sky is fake?"

Huh? This starry sky is fake?

Sanyueqi and Kelai expressed doubts at the same time, but Kelai just looked at Qiong in surprise and did not ask.

"Remember how we entered Teyvat?"

"Uh, rushing in with a train?"

"That's right. When the train comes in, it needs to break through a layer of obstacles, and that obstacle is the sky of Teyvat. The sky of Teyvat is fake. It is a huge cover made of an unknown substance hanging above the continent of Teyvat."

"So that's it!"

It turns out to be like this!

"Let's talk about why when we come in, we first see darkness, and then suddenly see the sky. It turns out that the sky is fake."

Although March Seven was surprised, she was not overly shocked. After all, she was a member of the Starry Sky Train and she had seen all kinds of scenes. This was just a false sky.

But it was different for Cole who was traveling with her. She had her eyes wide open.

My goodness, what a horrible news! The sky of Teyvat is actually fake?

"Not only the False Heaven, but also the way this world stores information is very interesting."

"Hmm? How is the information stored?"

"That's right. Everything in this world runs according to a program. Everyone is a program. You can think of them as ordinary, normal people, but you can also think of them as a small piece of code bound by the program of fate."

“Is that still a human?”

Cole's eyes widened.

"In terms of common sense, in Teyvat, they are considered human."

"Qiong, how did you know this information?"

Lao Yang was curious about how Qiong knew so much about Teyvat.

"I discovered this when I was tuning the instrument for the Dragon King Rota. The wear and tear within Rota is a curse imposed upon him by this world. Through the power of harmony, it seeped into him, and I discovered that the entirety of Teyvat is a gigantic data center. All those who bear the fate of Teyvat are controlled by this data center. As programs run, problems gradually arise, and this causes wear and tear."

The universal harmony can serve as a reason.

"When the data center receives external information, it can cause a bug due to the confusion between the external information and the original server information. This can cause problems with the entire server's operation, affecting everyone on that server. Simply put, this is forbidden knowledge that pollutes the world!"

Chapter 239 The Imprisoned God.

The continent of Teyvat, a magical continent transformed by the law of nature. Excluding the information that the law of nature has acted like a tiger in Teyvat and the country has not had a single good day as a result, Teyvat is still a data world strictly controlled by the central server.

Xumi is the kingdom of wisdom, but Qiong prefers to call it the kingdom of data.

The God of Grass is called the God of Wisdom, but relatively speaking, Qiong prefers to call him the God of Big Data.

If the three countries of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Teyvat require the demons to fight each other to decide the final winner and become the Seven Rulings, then the wise country of Xumi was appointed by the Grass God from the very beginning, because the Grass God is essentially different from other demons. They are the incarnations of the World Tree. Whether it is the first generation Grass God, the Great Merciful Tree King, or the current Little Auspicious Grass King, they are all part of the World Tree, and the World Tree is the database that records all life in Teyvat. As the incarnation of the World Tree, the Grass Gods are born with the ability to control the World Tree and can browse the data in the World Tree at any time and even modify it.

If there is a person who commits many evil things in Teyvat, then the Grass God only needs to delete this person's data in the World Tree, and this person will disappear directly from the continent of Teyvat, disappearing on the spiritual level. Everyone will forget this person, not knowing his name or his identity, as if this person had never appeared.

Not only that, everything this person did before will be rearranged and edited by the World Tree and turned into something else. The AI inside the World Tree will make reasonable arrangements so that the person who experienced that thing will feel that there is no problem at all, but will forget everything related to the most important subject.

Simply put, the Grass God can easily manipulate the life of any human being on the continent of Teyvat by controlling the World Tree.

Only those who have the ability to entrust the fate of the Teyvat continent, or those outside the Teyvat continent, will not be affected by the World Tree.

However, the speed at which the World Tree server processes information is limited. After all, Teyvat itself has an extremely large amount of information to process. The information of so many people and so many countries is all concentrated on the World Tree, so the World Tree is also very rare.

At this time, if information from outside the Teyvat continent flows into Teyvat, it will further increase the burden on the World Tree server. This is what Qiong calls forbidden knowledge. These information that the World Tree cannot understand for the time being will pollute the data within the World Tree server, causing disorder between the data, thus affecting the performance of the Teyvat continent in reality.

For example, in a rainforest full of life, a dead place suddenly appeared; for example, the Sumeru people who were closest to the World Tree suddenly developed a terrible disease.

These are all the results of unknown information flows causing bugs in the World Tree server.

"So, the fate of ordinary people in Teyvat is actually controlled by the Grass God."

"Is that really the case? The status of this Grass God is too high!"

"From a universal perspective, the Grass God's status on the continent of Teyvat is considered high because her position is so special. Among the seven gods on the continent of Teyvat, she is also unique. To maintain the stability of the continent of Teyvat, the Grass God is necessary."

"I didn't expect that this world would have such a strange setting."

San Yueqi suddenly realized, but Ke Lai next to him rolled his eyes.

No way, is this news I can hear? The truth about the continent of Teyvat, the truth about the world tree, and even the truth about the grass god, is this really something that a simple ranger like me can hear?

Forbidden knowledge is well-known in Xumi. Even Cole herself has suffered from it. She has the magic scale disease. She never knew why she got this disease, but after listening to Qiong's paintings, she suddenly felt that she knew why she had the magic scale disease. Was it all because of this information from outside Teyvat?

"It feels like the existence of the World Tree has completely deprived the humans of their own freedom. No matter what they do, the World Tree sees it, and the Grass God can easily modify the data within the World Tree."

"In theory, the fate of the people of Teyvat is bound. According to the local Teyvat saying, it's destiny. Their fate has been determined from the beginning, and everything proceeds according to the rules set by heaven."

"That sounds even more exaggerated. It doesn't give people the freedom to control their own destiny at all."

That’s right, this doesn’t give people the freedom to control their own destiny at all.

Cole also nodded secretly in affirmation.

"But in reality, the current Grass God can't even control his own destiny, let alone the fate of others. As for the specific reasons, you know."

Qiong shrugged and said something that Cole couldn't understand at all.

What does it mean that the Grass God cannot even control his own destiny?

"That's right. The Grass God hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. Maybe she's sleeping somewhere, or even imprisoned there."

March 7th, you are not a crow's mouth, you are a prophet!

Qiong secretly gave a thumbs up to March Seventh. It must be said that March Seventh always gets to the point.

"Whether he's asleep or locked up, we'll know if we just ask."

Qiong looked at Cole, who was leading the way but was actually secretly eavesdropping on the train crew's conversation.

"Miss Kelai, has your Xumi Grass God appeared in recent years?"

"Forehead……"

Cole was a little stunned when he was suddenly asked this question, but he still answered after thinking for a while.

"No, Lord Grass God hasn't appeared for a long, long time."

"So the Grass God is sleeping?"

March 7th is curious.

"I do not know about this."

Cole shook his head quickly.

"Then what did the Xumi Ordinance Court say? As an organization directly under the Grass God, they should know the Grass God's whereabouts."

Although Ke Lai had not been to Xumi City very often, she naturally knew about the Church Order Institute. Even the Forest Rangers were considered an organization under the Church Order Institute.

"According to the Great Sage of the Ordinance Court, Lord Grass God has always lived in his residence at the top of the sacred tree."

"In other words, the Grass God exists and is not asleep?"

March 7th understood the point.
