Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Now that the crisis was over, even though she had some complaints about Xie Yan finding a way to nourish her soul, seeing how much he cared about her, and coupled with their previous "last" agreement, she completely let go of the burden and was not even aware of the passage of time in the outside world.

It can be said that this is the first time since the birth of the Great Compassionate Tree King that he has abandoned rationality, but the pleasure he has gained is incomparable to the exploration of knowledge.

But when she thought of Xie Yan’s junior status, she still found it difficult to get over this hurdle.

Moreover, regarding the relationship between the two, even though they knew each other well, the Great Compassionate Tree King still did not have a specific result in his mind.

Although she is more mature than Nashida and has a better understanding of humans, she is actually not much better than Nashida in terms of emotions. She has just seen more examples.

In the "sage mode" at this time, King Dacishu fell into deep thought. She recalled the scholar couples she had met in the Institute of Teaching. Some of them were childhood sweethearts with sincere feelings, some were passionate and embraced each other for warmth, but more of them were just couples who got by together.

The Great Compassionate Tree King could understand the way these couples got along with each other, but when it came to himself, he always felt that something was wrong. It was not like a math problem where you could just plug in a formula and get the result.

Speaking of sincere feelings, she could feel that Xie Yan liked her very much, but she couldn't understand this love... It was as if Xie Yan had known her for a long time.

As for herself, it was definitely impossible for her to say that she had no good feelings towards him. Xie Yan had gone to great lengths to save her and had taken such good care of Nashida, but at first this good feeling was just admiration for the younger generation. It was later that she was forced to make up for her demons due to the situation, which led to a qualitative change that she herself could not understand.

Now that she has completely let go of her burden, she knows that their relationship can never go back to the way it was. She always reminds herself that this is the last time, not only because she is worried that Xie Yan will become addicted, but also because she is worried that she will fall into it.

For her, feelings are still an area that needs to be explored.

"But the last chance has been used up, so calm down for now." She felt a little regretful for some reason, and even wondered whether she should find an excuse for Xie Yan.

For example, there was a void communication just now that affected the two of them, so the last time could be postponed... Now there is someone to blame.

No, it can't be like this, Da-me!

Great Kindness Tree King, Great Kindness Tree King, how could you be so depraved!

From today on, she will leave notes in the void to remind herself at all times!

Do it as soon as you think of it. The Great Compassionate Tree King left the day 0 sign in the void, representing the time for him to think calmly.

After a long time, with a beautiful sigh that seemed to be an emotion, the Great Compassionate Tree King loosened the arms that were around Xie Yan's neck.

The emerald ball was removed, and the two men found their footing in the cave again.

"Hey, the environment here has changed." Xie Yan looked around and found that the environment had changed quite a lot. It was obviously just the divine power that had escaped.

This is also the reason why the gods in the continent of Teyvat have a noble status. Divine power is not only used for fighting, but also for transforming terrain and assisting agricultural production.

Venti moved thousands of winds to make Mondstadt from a bitterly cold place to a pleasant climate, and the Great Compassionate Tree King opened up a rainforest in the vast desert. It can be said that they created a country with their own efforts.

The Great Compassion Tree King pursed his moist lips and said in a seemingly casual tone: "Although you are already able to fight against the devil, there are still many things you need to learn in the realm of gods. These are the foundation of a god and determine the potential for the development of a country. If you don't understand something in the future, you can ask me more often. You can't build a good country just by fighting and killing."

Although the Great Compassion Tree King's tone was still as gentle as usual, and she seemed to be just taking care of the younger generation and did not mention anyone by name, Xie Yan always felt that there was something else behind her words.

In fact, this is true. The Great Compassion Tree King did not react before, but now he thinks about it, his words when he was using the void communication sounded like Inazuma. This is because he was injected with too many Inazuma patriotic genes.

Even if this is the "last time" for the two of them, she wants Xie Yan to realize that Inazuma has no future. Wouldn't it be better to stay in Xumi and be a prince? You can choose the princess!

As for Baalzebub? We are not familiar with him!

Xie Yan seemed to notice something and gave her a strange look.

The Great Compassion Tree King coughed twice and continued, "In short, you are not lacking in combat power now. [Heavenly Principle] is still dormant, and we are able to deal with the Kingdom of Winter. At this time, you should calm down and study more about the abilities of the gods, such as the power in the Samsara Eye. You can already analyze it at your current level."

Xie Yan nodded. Challenging the ancient demon god didn’t mean he really became a demon god. He still needed to “prove the truth”, which was a leap in the level of life, allowing himself to move forward towards the ultimate life form.

“By the way, feel whether your divinity has grown. I have already passed the techniques into your mind,” she added.

Divine growth?

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, but still did as he was told and closed his eyes to check.

Divinity is fully embodied in the soul. Only with divinity can one coordinate divine power and authority, which is also the most difficult of the three elements to achieve.

Xie Yan and Ying's minds merged, and each possessed their own characteristics. Therefore, their own consciousness bodies clearly carried the meaning of purple thunder, and if you look closely, you can see the lines of thunder element. Now, the symbol of grass element was silently generated.

Damn, I gave Yingmei a tattoo, and now it’s my turn?

But this was just a complaint. He could feel that the essence of the grass element's divinity was the World Tree, but it was not perfect yet and had huge gaps.

Even so, this still elevated Xie Yan's divinity to a new level, and now his divinity was already one-third of a god.

[Divinity: B+]

Xie Yan glanced at the results on the system interface and found that it had increased compared to before, and the attributes that were at the critical point had finally reached a new stage.

"Your physique has reached the advanced standard and you have obtained the personal specialty [Epic Physique]. Please choose an enhanced reward."

"Option 1: [Immortality]: Your physique has reached the level of a saint, a realm that mortals cannot reach no matter what. Your body is your best weapon. After receiving fatal damage, it will activate a physical resurrection effect to instantly heal the injury, and it will also have great resistance to the ability to cause fatal damage. (Depending on your physique, the current upper limit is 3 times, and you can use a large number of vitality recovery times.)

"Option 2: [Demon God's Heart]: Your demon god bloodline has awakened to a new stage, and the demon god's heart is the core of everything. From now on, your life level will gradually improve over time. You can store divine power throughout your body. After releasing the power, you will completely transform into a Qilin, and all attributes will receive a huge increase (the duration depends on the divine power)."

The former looks like Trial 12, while the latter is the progress of continuing to accumulate the Demon Body.

Xie Yan immediately understood: "You let me experience the incarnation of the World Tree before, and we just had an in-depth discussion. Are you guiding me to understand the divinity of the World Tree?"

"Well, even though your bloodline is special and your authority is comparable to mine and Nashida's, the concept of the World Tree is still too large for an individual. We must plan the direction for you step by step." The Great Compassionate Tree King was obviously well prepared.

"The enhancement of my divinity has allowed me to gain power beyond this world. What do you think I should choose?" Xie Yan roughly described the two options.

The Great Compassion Tree King was not impatient with his questions. On the contrary, Xie Yan relied on her, which was what she wanted to see. She could also show her authority as an elder in front of Xie Yan and let him know who was superior and who was inferior.

"Immortality is good, but you also know that you are not a pure-blooded Qilin. If you rely solely on immortality practice to forge a demon god's body, you will definitely need a lot of cultivation accumulation. The Demon God's Heart can help you quickly pass this stage."

"it is good."

Xie Yan did not doubt it and chose 2 immediately. As soon as the thought came to his mind, his heart suddenly became extremely hot, as if magma was gushing out, making Xie Yan feel as if his whole body was burning.

Looking down, he saw that the skin on his body was rapidly turning red as the blood circulated, but at this moment a warm force surged from his shoulders, and the Great Compassionate Tree King helped him quickly overcome the discomfort.

How should I put it, the Great Compassion Tree King is like a gentle older sister who has already arranged everything behind the scenes... She also liked to take the initiative when replenishing magic power before, but she would also cooperate very well if she wanted.

Who doesn’t love such a virtuous wife?

But noticing his gaze, the Great Compassion Tree King turned his head slightly and denied it in a seemingly firm tone: "Don't think too much. The last chance has been used up. I will not let you do it so casually next time."

Yes, she thought that she needed some time to think carefully about their relationship, and that Xie Yan should also learn to respect his elders instead of talking back.

Just now, she was almost transformed from the Goddess of Sumeru into the Goddess of Inazuma!

Where did this guy get so many Inazuma patriotic genes? The scabbard is obviously in her body now.

Xie Yan frowned upon hearing this and said, "You're not still thinking about sacrificing yourself, are you? Now that I have a way to save you, whether you're willing or not, I won't let you do anything stupid."

"Why are you so domineering?" The Great Ci Tree King rolled his eyes at him. She knew that Xie Yan would really do this.

but--

Xie Yan was indeed confused because of his concern. The Great Compassion Tree King thought that she had shown it clearly enough... She would not let Xie Yan do whatever he wanted, but by not returning the scabbard at this time, didn't she tacitly accept the fact of regular magic replenishment?

How come this kid seems smart but he doesn't get it? Young people are too impetuous after all.

But how could she say such a thing openly? She couldn't just knock on the back of Xie Yan's head three times!

The Great Compassion Tree King couldn't bring himself to do that, so he said calmly: "If you want to force me, then give it a try. It's not easy to challenge one of the Seven First-Generation Rulers. I won't go easy on you."

The two looked at each other, but the Great Compassion Tree King felt a sinking feeling in his heart, because Xie Yan on the opposite side actually nodded.

But this seems to be a good thing...

The Great Compassion Tree King quickly cut off his thoughts, and then said solemnly: "Well, divinity is not something that can be achieved overnight. From now on, even I can't help you. You can only rely on yourself to comprehend it with your heart. This is a transformation of the soul. You have entered this stage since you awakened the Samsara Eye."

Xie Yan nodded thoughtfully. If he could pass this level, he would be a true god.

In addition, the gradual strengthening of the divine body and divinity also solved the problem of lifespan, which can now be counted in thousands.

The next step is to understand the secrets of the World Tree, and then find ways to resist wear and tear and accumulate the power to fight against the laws of nature.

But these things were still far away, so Xie Yan quickly put his thoughts aside and flew towards the top of the cave with the Great Tree King.

Finally I can fly!

Having experienced the realm of gods and carrying the Heart of the Thunder God, Xie Yan has a deep understanding of the two elements of thunder and grass, and can achieve all kinds of magical effects without using any power.

"By the way, what are we doing here?" Xie Yan looked around after landing. He was still inside the mountain, but behind him was a wall with a metallic luster.

The Great Compassion Tree King sighed softly and said, "I told Nashida that I wanted to investigate the matter of the Colossus Ruins."

Nashida's call came at a wrong time. Xie Yan was about to use his finishing move. The Great Compassion Tree King had no time to chat with her. He could only find an excuse to get by. He would return to Xumi City later, and he would definitely have to produce some research results to prove that he was doing serious business with Uncle Xie.

Of course, this relic statue cannot be left alone. Even though she doesn't have to worry about dying now, she still has to create a good environment for her daughter.

Taking Xie Yan into a tunnel, the two entered the control console of the ruins colossus.

I don’t know if it was Kanreya’s design or the special arrangement of the Church Order, but there is hardly any weeds or dust here, and it is full of a unique sense of machinery and technology.

Even though Xie Yan had seen this in the game before, he was still quite shocked at this moment.

“Kanreya developed to this level five hundred years ago. If there were more of these ruins, even ordinary demons would be able to fight against them.” Xie Yan said with emotion.

Putting aside other things, there is no problem in defeating the God of Righteousness. This relic colossus is as big as a mountain. At the very least, it is as tall as five or six Gods of Righteousness. The power of its core comes from the abyss. If it gets angry and spins like a windmill, who can withstand it?

But this is also where the problem lies. Kanriya got too close to the power of the abyss, bringing forbidden knowledge and also bringing destruction to his own country.

The Great Compassion Tree King was also very secretive about this: "Kan Ruiya is a country without gods, but this also makes them have no reverence for many things, which eventually led to disasters."

"But couldn't anyone in Kanreya see the problem? Ying's brother was working for them at the time."

"Kanreya is not like the Seven Kingdoms where the gods have absolute say. As a country ruled by people, they have complex factions. For example, the three colossi in Xumi. I just checked the Void's information. During the Dark Disaster, these colossi came to protect Xumi and fought against many monsters. This shows that there are also relatively rational groups in Kanreya."

Xie Yan touched his chin. So that's how it is. This explains a lot of things.

"To be precise, even the Abyss has different factions. Although the power of the Abyss symbolizes destruction and erosion, the world of the Abyss also has indigenous people, such as the Abyss Swordsman Silkcock that you found earlier."

"Wait, what is the purpose of the Abyss? Simply wanting to erode the new world?"

"From the perspective of manifestation, it is indeed true. The incarnation of disaster that we are fighting against wanted to pollute the entire continent of Teyvat through the World Tree when she was born. Even if she desires the Samsara Eye, it is because the Samsara Eye can allow her to achieve her goal faster and possess power beyond the Seven Gods."

Xie Yan fell into deep thought. If that was the case, now that the remnants of Kong and Kanriya had joined the Abyss, it was equivalent to the addition of a new faction.

“You don’t need to understand the power of the abyss. Being contaminated by this thing will only bring disaster. Moreover, you are now in the stage of transformation to become a god. If you are contaminated, you will encounter the same dilemma as your ancestors: once you become a god, you may become a puppet of the abyss.”

"I understand. Speaking of this, the power of the God of Righteousness was contaminated by the abyss and then mutated. Will it be troublesome if the God is reversed?"

"Well, because it means that the power of the law has been polluted, which is a major blow to the world, so you have to be careful. If the Abyss notices your condition, it may target you."

The Great Compassionate Tree King warned sternly.

She has been fighting against the abyss ever since she ascended the throne of God. She is very clear about the abyss's ways of doing things. God's followers or demigods are all the goals that the abyss desires.

The reason is very simple. Even if it is a remnant soul, as long as it is eroded by the power of the abyss and becomes flesh, it can quickly return to its peak state. It can even break through the shackles of life like ancestor Xie Yan, use the power of the abyss to help it ascend to godhood, and quickly cultivate a god-level combat power.

However, to erode and reverse a true God in perfect condition, the price to pay would be much higher, and there is a high probability that the loss would outweigh the gain.

She would never let Xie Yan be corrupted. Well... believe her, this is for Nashida, not for any other reason.

Xie Yan is just a junior! How can she be inferior to a junior?

Xie Yan seemed to have realized something. He had suppressed the dark turmoil with all his strength. Now he had to fight the weird clan, right?

Forget it, as long as I don’t grow red hair, everything will be fine!

While she was speaking, the Great Compassionate Tree King was already exploring the operating table. Needless to say, she was so smart that she figured out the operating mechanism at a glance.

"Although the core has been taken away, there are still spare energy blocks here. These are the energy extracted from the earth veins." The Great Compassion Tree King picked up an orange crystal. "I can set up a magic array or equipment to let the Ruins Colossus automatically absorb the energy of the earth veins. Hmm... I will go back and study it slowly."

She was still quite concerned about the ruins. Although the wooden man technique was powerful, it was ultimately the magic of the gods. If she and Nashida were not around, it would be useless. She had to leave some foundation for the people of Xumi.

After doing all this, the two used the earth veins to teleport and quickly returned to Xumi City.

.....

After a few breaths, the two of them appeared from the area where the sacred tree was located, and looking down, they could have a panoramic view of the entire Sumeru.

But the two of them had wasted a lot of time at the Mountain of Subduing Demons, and it was already nightfall. Looking through the void, they saw that it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the city of Xumi was brightly lit. Due to today's war of gods, the people of Xumi were very excited. The cafes and pubs were all packed. Many people were still discussing on the streets, and from time to time they looked up in awe at the huge celestial body floating in the sky, which was a symbol of the power of the gods.

For many years, only seven gods are still active in the continent of Teyvat, and the war between gods has long become history. Who would have thought that we can still witness a corner of the war between demons and gods today, and it happened on Sumeru.

Even the people of Xumi themselves couldn't quite believe that the prince was so strong that he could force back the Ice God. This also sparked a wave of martial arts... Well, by the way, the cards of God Xie Yan could also be produced.

This time, scholars from Xumi participated in the entire design process to ensure the strength of the prince. At the same time, relevant voice lines were prepared according to the prince's style of doing things. Finally, it was reviewed by veteran card player Seno himself.

The Great Compassionate Tree King stood on the top of the sacred tree, and swept his gentle gaze downwards, with both nostalgia and worry in his eyes.

With her level of power, even city-wide mind-reading would be a piece of cake for her. However, there was no need for mind-reading. Just through some information from the Void and the Order Institute, she knew how big Xumi's problem was right now.

How to say it, she could foresee that Xumi would fall into weakness after her death, which was inevitable, but she still underestimated the complexity of human beings. She did not expect that the sages of the Institute of the Church for five hundred years would do such a foolish thing.

They dare not face the reality of losing their gods and still remain in the glory of the past, just like the desert people they look down upon... This is a great irony.

"Xie Yan, what kind of country do you think Xumi is?" She turned and looked at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan had already discussed this question with Nashida, so he answered directly: "It was a good hand that was played badly. It was just luck that there was no external conflict, and Lanaro was blocking it, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago."
