"There are actually traces of Mondstadt's path to becoming a city of freedom and joy. Without the restraining forces of Barbatos and the Knights of Favonius, and with the push of external forces like the Kingdom of Winter, it would be heading for the abyss.
The same is true for Liyue. It is not surprising that there are frictions between the seven stars due to power and interests. It is also normal that the Seven Stars are infiltrated by foreign forces and split after the Rock King Emperor sacrificed himself to seal the Three Demon Gods.
After all, no matter how powerful a country is, once it loses its spiritual support or backbone, it can be easily broken from within. "
"In other words, Xumi is still lacking a backbone? The people here are now just like the desert people of the past, enduring humiliation and surviving in the cracks." Nashida said.
"It's also useless if your backbone is not strong enough. The Dongdong Kingdom knew that Xumi would resist, and they clearly had the strength to kill you all at once, but they didn't do it.
Personally, I think they were considering gaining a firm foothold first and then slowly cleaning up, and the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt were the final result.
If I hadn't helped them, this battle would have resulted in the annihilation of thousands of Knights of Favonius, with only a few able to escape. It would have taken many years for them to form a new resistance force.
They can use their absolute power gap to erode Xumi's hope bit by bit. Then use the birth welfare policy to increase the population of the Winter Kingdom."
"!!! What a vicious plot! It will make the people of Xumi poor, and fewer and fewer people will consider getting married and having children. Coupled with various oppressions, more and more people will die. But they are desperately increasing the population. With the mutual growth and decline, Xumi will be finished within a hundred years." Nashida said angrily.
"Master Xuan, with your strength you should be able to discover something special, right? Can you tell us some information? The one in front of us now is the real body, right?" Elhaisen said.
"Oh? Very keen observation skills."
"After all, you looked very serious yesterday, but you seem much more relaxed today. Besides, only the original body needs to eat, not the clone." Elhaisen pointed at the breakfast in front of Lin Zixuan.
"Okay! Don't be surprised by what I'm going to say next."
Everyone looked straight at Lin Zixuan.
"The sun ship we took was indeed heading to the World Tree, and our current location is... inside the World Tree."
!!!
"Inside the World Tree!!!" Nashida and others exclaimed in surprise.
"El Haisen, what do you do when you are sick? What is the difference between a minor illness and a major one?"
"If you are sick, go see a doctor first. Minor illnesses can usually heal on their own, but if you are seriously ill, you must take medicine as prescribed by the doctor."
"That's right, the human body has immunity and will reject things that cannot be absorbed.
The simplest situation is diarrhea caused by eating something unclean, which can usually heal on its own.
If you have taken a chronic poison, you must follow the doctor's instructions and take the medicine on time to reset your body.
So...if the World Tree is sick, will it be the same as humans? The World Tree also has the ability to heal itself, and even has a certain degree of immunity to forbidden knowledge?"
"There must be some, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted for thousands of years, and the Demonic Scale Disease wouldn't only be contracted by a few people."
Nashida stood up and looked at Lin Zixuan in surprise, asking, "Could it be that... we are the... medicine of the World Tree?"
"As expected of you, the God of Wisdom. You understand things so quickly." Lin Zixuan nodded.
"Big bad guy, what are you talking about?" Paimon scratched his head, still not knowing what they were talking about.
"Paimon, think carefully about what I just said.
We are now in... the world tree.
The immunity within the World Tree is fighting against the forbidden knowledge. The forbidden knowledge has a strong corrosive power and is constantly eroding the World Tree.
If you think about the current situation of Teyvat, don't you feel strange?" Lin Zixuan said.
Paimon held his chin and compared the current situation with the situation of the World Tree in his mind.
"Ah! So that's how it is!
The Kingdom of Winter is synonymous with forbidden knowledge that is constantly eroding.
Those who go along with the Kingdom of Winter are those who have been completely corrupted.
Ordinary people are the ones who are being eroded by forbidden knowledge.
The Knights of Favonius, Liyue Tianshu, and Xumi Resistance are all immune to the World Tree.
We...are the medicine of the World Tree. Whether it will be effective or not depends entirely on our actions!"
"Pa pa pa." Lin Zixuan clapped softly for Paimeng.
"That's right, Paimon has become more powerful too."
"Hehe! I have always been so powerful!" Paimon said proudly with his hands on his hips.
Everyone digested the new information.
"The interior of the World Tree has been resisting the erosion of forbidden knowledge and saving itself. Although we don't know how this 'Teyvat' was formed, what we have to do has not changed. That is: defeat the Kingdom of Winter and save Teyvat." Nashida said.
"The severity of the World Tree's condition is a little beyond our imagination. Do we have to fight a desperate battle from the beginning?" Elhaisen has already begun to think about the next course of action.
"We have to gain the trust of the rebels first, right?" said Farusan.
"Master Xuan, is there any news about the situation in Nata, Fontaine and the Kingdom of Winter?" Candice asked.
"No, there is a blank space outside the border. When I want to pass through it, a prompt will appear in my mind: 'Explore the area ahead later!' This is probably the will of the World Tree?" Lin Zixuan shook his head.
"In other words, we only need to deal with the problems of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma and Xumi to save the World Tree?" asked Nashida.
"Based on what we know so far... yes. But I have a feeling it won't be that simple. I think we should solve the problem at hand first. How can we talk about the final level if we haven't even passed the first level?"
Nashida simulated the tactics in her mind and frowned.
"I have a proposal."
Everyone looked at Nashida.
"We need to divide our forces in the early stages."
"Divide the troops?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Xumi's situation is worse than the other three countries. It's too risky to fight Xumi to the death. Why don't we first deal with the Fatui of the Winter Kingdom among the other three countries, and then launch a general attack after forming a siege?
Elhaisen and others have many acquaintances in "Teyvat", so it is not difficult to communicate and gain their trust.
Ying and Paimon are strangers. Since they are strangers, it would be the same if they went to Mondstadt, Liyue or Inazuma.
Master Xuan is also a stranger, but he can definitely deal with the Fatui in Liyue. Not to mention that Liyue is also very important, and we need a base to manufacture the weapons and equipment we need to fight against the Fatui.
It would be a bit of a waste to gather all our forces together, since we have to solve the problems of the four countries anyway. Why not try to divide our forces and solve them together? "Nashida explained.
"I agree. It's a bit too inefficient to concentrate all the problems here in Xumi. If the other three kingdoms are not resolved, Xumi may be attacked from all sides during the decisive battle." Lin Zixuan nodded in agreement with Nashida's proposal.
"I agree. We currently don't have the means to deal with the positive field. We need data and time to study it." Elhaisen also nodded.
After thinking about it for a while, everyone agreed to this proposal.
"Ying, where should we go?" Paimeng looked at Ying.
"Let's go to Mond. We are more familiar with the situation there." Ying replied.
"What about Inazuma? Who will go?"
"Good father, those who are capable should do more work. I'll leave Inashima to you." Nashida immediately made the request of a good daughter.
"Okay. Let's wait until we contact the Eightfold Son of God and check on General Lei Dian's situation." Lin Zixuan raised his eyebrows and agreed.
"That's settled then. Ying and Paimon will go to Mondstadt, Master Xuan will go to Liyue and Inazuma, and I, Elhaisen and others will go to the desert to build a resistance base and find a way to deal with the Zhengji Realm." Nashida summarized.
"By the way, Master Xuan, how long will it take to restore mobile phone communications? One of our advantages is that information can be transmitted quickly. Even though everyone is going their separate ways, we still need to understand each other's situations and even provide support," asked Elhaisen.
"It will take another week to cover this 'Teyvat'. But I have to mention that we have lost an advantage."
“What advantage was lost?”
"The mobility advantage brought by anchor point teleportation is gone. I found that many anchor points have been dismantled, and the statues in many areas have been replaced with Zhengji statues. The ground veins inside the Zhengji statues are polluted. If you go in, it is equivalent to jumping directly into the dissolution pool, and I can't save you." After Lin Zixuan finished speaking, everyone looked embarrassed.
"No wonder I didn't see a teleportation anchor point in Port Omos. It turns out they were all dismantled. How about our divided forces?" Saino said.
"Go ahead! Master Xuan will definitely allow us to regain the ability to provide rapid support." Nashida gave Lin Zixuan a triumphant smile.
Chapter 434: City of Freedom and Joy
The sumptuous breakfast ended with everyone chatting, and the shopkeeper Sally cleaned up the table.
Lin Zixuan set up an anti-peeping barrier, then took out ten large boxes and placed them on the table. After opening the boxes, everyone found that they were filled with Zhidong credit coins.
"Wow! So much money!" Paimon said in surprise.
"What is this money for?" Nashida looked at Lin Zixuan.
“I took it from the Northern Bank in Liyue. The role that money can play is not big, but it is not small either.
Purchasing supplies and recruiting soldiers all require money. The situation here is so serious that it would be a waste of time to do miscellaneous tasks to accumulate funds.
Ying takes four boxes, and Nashida takes six boxes as starting capital, which should be able to solve many trivial problems."
"Well, funds are indeed very important." Nashida was not polite and put away the six boxes with magic. Seeing this, Ying also took out the Dust Song Pot and put away the remaining four boxes.
"As for the tool for fast movement..." Lin Zixuan took out two palm-sized boat models. "By the way, who here at Nashida has a game console? Paimon, give me yours."
"I have it." Nashida handed over her game console.
"The free little newbie...sounds familiar." When Lin Zixuan saw the ID number of Nashida's game console, he couldn't help but look at Nashida.
“I know this name!
He is a person who has been very discussed recently on the Teyvat forum and has a 100% win rate in more than games.
In just one month, this person took over the chess world and reached the highest level in all ten chess games.
In the Seven Saint Summons Yu-Gi-Oh Legend (console version), it defeated "Gale Machine", the first time "Gale Machine" was completely defeated since it became famous.
She cleared the game King of Fighters Teyvat without taking any damage... She cleared the game Bubble Dragon without taking any damage... She even set a time that no one else could beat. She also cleared many other games.
Uh..." Paimon saw Nashida winking desperately and closed his mouth.
Next to him, Seno was surrounded by lightning, and purple light appeared in his eyes. He took out a deck of cards from his arms and looked at the "Free Little Newbie" with full fighting spirit. "That was a shameful defeat! Nashida, let's fight!!!"
Elhaisen knocked Seno unconscious with a single blow of his hand.
"Is Seno okay?"
"It's okay, he just has a card addiction."
"Nashida, you are really amazing. You have topped the charts in so many games."
"It's just a pastime in my spare time after work. It definitely doesn't take up my working time." Nashida explained hurriedly.
While everyone was chatting, Lin Zixuan had already installed new control programs on the two game consoles.
'Take off, land, up, down, left, right, speed up, slow down, shield, grow bigger, shrink smaller, become invisible.'
The game console in Lin Zixuan's hand was controlling the palm-sized boat model to perform various actions.
"Big bad guy, is this the fast-moving tool we use?" Paimon looked at the small boat flying in front of him.
"Yes, you can call them Star Rafts. Although they are just test pieces and have many flaws, they are also precious magical weapons. Originally, they required a bunch of fairy spells to operate them. Even if you learn them, you will not be used to these difficult spells. It is better to modify them into this easier-to-operate method.
The maximum range is 4000 kilometers. When the elemental force is exhausted, it needs to cool down for three days to recharge. The maximum take-off weight is 3 tons. You can decide whether to carry people or goods.
If you want to use it urgently, you can provide lightning elemental power to recharge it. If it is a Seno, it will be exhausted after about 900 kilometers when fully loaded. Ying should be able to last longer, but you have to use it slowly, otherwise it will lose its combat power if it is exhausted. "
"Okay, I understand." Ying nodded.
Lin Zixuan returned the game console to Nashida and Paimon and let them try to control the two small star rafts.
"Oh, that's easy." Paimon started playing with it as if he had a remote-controlled plane.
Nashida put down the game console in her hand and looked at Lin Zixuan.
"Do you think we can really solve the problem of the World Tree after we defeat the Kingdom of Winter here?"
"can."
"Why are you so sure?"
“The Great Compassion Tree King is the incarnation of the World Tree. As long as the forbidden knowledge in her body is not eliminated, she will never allow you to have any contact with her.
The fact that you are now inside the World Tree shows that someone has solved most of the problems and allowed you to enter her body. As far as the current situation is concerned, the forbidden knowledge has not been eradicated.
We are now inside the World Tree, so who will be assisting us outside the World Tree?"
"You mean...someone needs us to break through the forbidden knowledge from the inside?" Nashida reacted.
"In other words, they have already created a lot of favorable conditions for us outside. Once we solve the problem of Teyvat, we should have the answer.
"......" Nashida thought for a moment. "Can forbidden knowledge really be eradicated?"
Lin Zixuan made a plant grow on the table, but one of the branches of this plant was covered with withered leaves and cracked branches, as if it was sick.
