I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"I'm afraid that from that moment on, we have been targeted by the filth of the abyss."

"Now, Nabu died in the disaster, and the Red King failed to save her soul..."

"After helping me to stop the disaster, he ended his life in grief."

The same development, the same ending, but this time, the Red King and the Flower God are innocent.

"how so……"

——I’m not sure of the reason, but there is something I still want to tell you.

——I always feel that there is something at a higher level that is ensuring that the world runs on its predetermined track.

"what?"

——Sorry, this is just my intuition, I don’t have any relevant information.

At that time, Ye Ming, who was feeling extremely desperate, did not have the energy to delve into the matter in detail, and the system only made superficial guesses.

But the audience who have watched along have already understood the truth.

[It turns out that the creepy guy had already been foreshadowed in Xumi]

【Didn’t we speculate before that the abyss is also a mechanism for selecting civilizations? 】

[That terrifying thing will definitely find a way to ensure the normal operation of the screening mechanism]

[If Teyvat is also a civilization that was screened out, then the abyss will surely be omnipresent]

[In other words, from the moment the Flower God and the Scarlet King came into contact with the forbidden knowledge, tragedy was already doomed]

[Just like the plague, even if you do nothing, as long as you come back from the source of infection, it will cause an epidemic]

"Huh? How did these audiences become smarter?"

Seeing everyone's speculation, Ye Ming was very surprised.

You have to know that the last time netizens made a thorough analysis was when they said that Himeko would be resurrected as the Herrscher of Fire.

But this time, instead of making a mistake, they discovered the hidden truth.

"Nasida...is that you?"

At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly discovered that Nashida was holding a mobile phone, her small fingers constantly tapping the screen, obviously typing.

Those bold conjectures and careful arguments were all initiated by this little grass god.

But Nashida didn't have any special purpose. She just saw the questionnaire and wrote down the answers unconsciously, hoping to enlighten others.

This is the same as A-ci, it's my nature.

···········

"I don't know what to do anymore..."

Simply stopping the Flower God and the Red King will not solve the problem at all.

At that time, Ye Ming didn't even know what kind of enemy he was facing.

"Preventing this disaster" suddenly became a false and empty goal, making the already exhausted Ye Ming feel even more powerless.

"Ye Ming...I have a question, I hope you can answer me truthfully."

Just when Ye Ming was feeling confused, Aci suddenly took his hand.

"Have you changed anything from the past?"

"!"

Ye Ming didn't expect Ah Ci to notice this. He was so surprised that he didn't have time to hide it, and he blurted out:

"How did you know?"

465.The meaning of wisdom is to do the right thing

"How...did you know that?"

"I felt the discontinuity of time and space, and the surrounding environment also felt a bit out of place."

As he spoke, Ah Ci turned his gaze to Ye Ming again, his tone full of heartache:

"The most important thing is... you only disappeared for a moment, but you have so many scars on your body."

Because Ye Ming did not change any established facts, the world line did not deviate too much, and naturally no new branches would be formed.

Therefore, the tiny impact he had on this dimension was expressed so directly and was captured by Aci.

"I failed."

Ye Ming confided with a little grievance and fatigue:

"Whether resorting to force or persuading with earnest words, it is ultimately impossible to change the tragedy that has already been determined."

Seeing Ye Ming's body trembling uncontrollably, Ah Ci gently wiped the blood off his body, and then said softly:

"That must have been very hard. You've done well enough. Just rest in peace."

"But... I couldn't change that."

"That's not necessary."

Even though the entire towel was stained with blood, Aci still failed to wipe Ye Ming clean.

Seeing him like this, the distressed Ah Ci simply hugged him and used the remaining divine power in her body to heal him, trying to be as tender and caring to Ye Ming as possible.

"It's not time to despair. Everything can still be saved. I will lead the remaining people to rebuild our home until the disaster is over."

"But... they are all gone, leaving you alone, and you have lost so much power. Aren't you sad?"

"..."

Ah Ci did not answer, and she forced herself to suppress her rapid breathing. She only spoke in the calmest tone possible:

"It's okay, at least... you're still by my side."

Because it was a hug, Ye Ming could not see Aci's face, nor would he see her silent tears flowing.

How could there be no relationships, a good life, close friends, people, home…

Of all the things he once treasured, only Ye Ming was left intact by his side.

It was because of this that Ah Ci made up his mind not to lose the last and most important person, him, at any cost.

"We should look forward and let the past be in the past."

"But……"

"No buts, Ye Ming. Instead of pursuing a path with zero possibility, it is more important to focus on the present."

Ah Ci wiped away her tears and said in a gentle but irrefutable tone:

"The ruts should be left behind. After all, the road ahead is longer. This is the right choice."

"I'm just worried about you..."

The road looking back is full of thorns, but Ye Ming doesn't want to see Ah Ci's painful expression even more.

Giving up is so easy, but Ye Ming wants to see the smile of the girl in front of him more.

"Have you forgotten? I am the God of Wisdom, and the meaning of wisdom is to guide us to do the right thing."

Ah Ci tried hard to cheer himself up and smiled softly.

"There is no doubt that my current choice is the most correct one. Why should I worry about the right thing?"

After hearing Ah Ci's impeccable answer, Ye Ming's throbbing heart slowly calmed down.

“Do the right thing…”

Ye Ming looked at Aci, feeling her calmness and wisdom, and seemed to understand why the followers of the Tree King were so devout.

But since one can put oneself in the believer's perspective, doesn't that mean that the image of the other party in one's mind has become the demon god Buyel?

If that’s the case, where is the girl named Aci?

"I really haven't been able to solve the problem you gave me."

···········

After that, Ye Ming stayed by Aci's side, and for the Great Ci Tree King at that time, Ye Ming was the only comfort.

The weakness caused by overdrawn strength can be comforted by Ye Ming, and the tired and exhausted heart can be healed by Ye Ming.

I don’t know when... Ye Ming has become the only reason for Ah Ci to smile.

She felt happy because Ye Ming was by her side, and felt uneasy because of his departure.

"Isn't this just like a girl in love?"

After realizing his own feelings, Ah Ci would often laugh at himself.

A wise man does not fall in love, but can I still be called the god of wisdom now?

"Perhaps, this is what I am like without wisdom."

Having said that, Ah Ci never had the chance to show her love-girl side to Ye Ming.

As a time traveler, it is impossible for him to stay in Xumi forever. He has to leave every now and then.

"Be careful on the road."

However, for a demon god like the Great Compassionate Tree King, time is not a problem. After all, with a long lifespan of thousands of years, the concept of time will gradually become blurred.

only……

“Missing you is the problem.”

Fu Hua, who was watching the video, felt the same way. In her equally long life, she had regarded her longing for Ye Ming as poison, and had no choice but to seal it up for the sake of her responsibilities.

But there was no need for the Great Compassion Tree King to do so. After seeing Ye Ming off, the longing in her eyes was already overflowing.

In the next shot, the Great Compassionate Tree King sits in the center of the frame, with an increasingly thriving rainforest in the background.

As the protagonist, she closed her eyes and remained motionless, while the rainforest in the background kept changing.

The lush grass and singing birds in spring, the starry nights of summer, the sunsets and dusks in autumn, and the quiet and cold snow in winter.

A series of shots lasting less than ten seconds depicts Aci's long wait for Ye Ming.

"Although this is a normal thing for a time traveler like you, it is simply torture for us who are waiting for you."

Keqing was also the girl waiting for Ye Ming's return. After seeing this set of shots, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't help it... You all know what happened to me in the collapsed dimension."

Ye Ming also wanted to respond to the girls' thoughts, but reality was never so friendly.

"Critical situations kept popping up, and by the time I got to Ah Ci's place, it was already a long time later."

Just as he said, no matter how many years passed, Aci was unable to wait for Ye Ming to return.

Until the day when the Kanreya disaster broke out, the demons went to attack the abyss, and the Great Compassion Tree King was left behind to guard the World Tree.

It was at such a bad time that Ye Ming returned to Xumi, found the World Tree, and came to Aci's side.

"Why...why did you come back at this time..."

After her wish came true, before Ah Ci could feel even a little joy, her heart was filled with worries.

"What happened this time?"

Ye Ming had already sensed from the atmosphere in Xumi that the situation was not good, and only after hearing Ah Ci's resentment did he realize how bad things were.

466. The wrong answer from the person who proposed the question

After learning about the situation, Ye Ming decided to stay here and fight against the dark army together with A Ci, but was sternly rejected by the other side.

"The filth of the Abyss is inextricably linked to the knowledge beyond this world."

"You, who also come from outside this world...may also threaten the World Tree."

The wise tree king never stuttered when telling objective facts.

But he hesitated for a moment when claiming that Ye Ming was a threat.

"Ye Ming, in order to prevent the situation from getting worse, you have to leave."

After explaining the danger of Ye Ming, Aci showed his true colors and wanted to persuade Ye Ming to avoid this disaster.
