Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Lord of Grass, don't be anxious, I will tell you slowly..."

The elemental water mushroom beast comforted Nashida, and then told her the origin of their clan.

"You said that you were looking for a way to save your home...but it was the "forbidden knowledge" that destroyed your home, and the "forbidden knowledge" destroyed the desert, but the desert has now returned to normal..." Nashida frowned.

The elemental water mushroom beast continued: "Yes, our home is not a desert. But, King of Grass, King of Water, I'm sorry... I can't remember where my home is, I can't tell you..."

"It sounds incredible... but it is a helpless thing. As part of the "doomsday", when the pollution is eliminated, we are also erased from the same part of our memory."

"The power and memory that were erased... should be that void, right?"

Nashida said slowly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."

The Elemental Water Mushroom Beast shook its head and said, "Lord of Grass, there is no need to apologize... If you hadn't eliminated the pollution, we would have lost more than just our memories and powers."

Luo Chaya said to it: "The "forbidden knowledge" has been completely destroyed. Your home should have returned to normal now."

The elemental water mushroom nodded and said, "Water King, you are right... Now that the "forbidden knowledge" has been destroyed, my homeland must have returned to normal. We originally thought that this was just an unrealistic dream, but we didn't expect it to come true so soon... But, I can't find the direction of my homeland anymore."

"But... King of Grass, you are here." The Elemental Water Mushroom Beast continued, staring at Nashida and said slowly: "You must be here for that ancient promise, to send us home, right?"

"Ancient covenant?" Hearing the so-called covenant mentioned by the elemental water mushroom beast, Nashida looked at Luo Chaya on the side.

However, Luo Chaya shook her head and said, "That should be an agreement reached between you and someone from their tribe in the past..."

"In that case, let me take you home!" Nashida looked at the elemental water mushroom beast. Of course, the reason why she agreed so quickly was because she discovered that this elemental life had the same elemental reaction as the crystal she found in the Jingshan Palace.

Perhaps, at the end of this journey, she will find the answer.

"I'll go with you." Luo Chaya continued. She remembered that at the end of this journey, she would meet the Grass Dragon King who had survived from the distant past to the present.

"Thank you so much, King of Grass!" The elemental water mushroom beast thanked Nashida, "And you, King of Water... You have clearly suffered a lot in the past, but you still chose to help us. Thank you very much..."

The three of them set off, following the intuition of Nashida and the elemental water mushroom beast, looking for other members of its tribe.

On the way, the Elemental Water Mushroom Beast saw the Death Zone, and couldn't help but sigh again. The so-called Death Zone is the final destination for creatures like them after being affected by the "Doomsday" and not being saved.

Every flower of the Death Realm represents a life of their species.

With Luo Chaya and Nashida around, there is naturally no need to go through the effort to eradicate the dead zone. The two gods in charge of life and purification join forces. With just a slight movement of their fingers, they can completely eliminate the dead zone and collect the elemental aura remaining in it.

As they traveled further and closer to the desert, Nashida suddenly had a premonition. She said to Rochaya, "Rochaya, maybe if we continue like this, we will meet Apep."

"The grass dragon in the desert?" After hearing what Nashida said, Luo Chaya sighed, "Aren't you ready to meet the Grass Dragon King?"

"I don't know if I am ready to face Xumi's former master." After hearing Luo Chaya's question, Nashida was silent for a while and spoke slowly.

Luo Chaya continued, "Yes, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Dragon King and the Demon God. It's okay for other Dragon Kings, but Apep is a Dragon King who survived from the distant past. I'm afraid he has a lot of hatred for the Demon God."

"But even so, we have to move forward."

"Yes, let's go!" Nashida nodded and continued to follow the elemental mushroom beasts towards the desert.

As Luo Chaya and Nashida continued to go deeper into the desert, they rescued a land-based elemental fungus beast from the pollution. After seeing Nashida, the fungus beast told them its memories from the distant past.

However, what it tells is still what they believe was the story of the Little Lucky Grass King before he shrank and lost his power and memory, rather than the Great Kindness Tree King.

Everything in Sumeru in the past was the existence of the small auspicious grass king, not the great compassionate tree king.

At this moment, Nashida took out the crystal she had taken out from the Pure Palace. After the land-based elemental mushroom beast saw the crystal, it said to Nashida: "Yes, this is it... King of Grass, this is the "Fire Seed", which is necessary to save the Grass Dragon.

This is the crystal that you, the King of Grass, and our clan created to simulate the operation of the Grass Dragon's "Heart of the Oasis". The Grass Dragon's power has been tortured by the "Doomsday" for too long, but as long as the "Fire Seed" can activate its "Heart of the Oasis", it will have the power to heal itself. Our home can also be restored to its original state..."

After the land-walking elemental mushroom beast finished telling everything it knew, it said goodbye to Luo Chaya and her companions. In its words, it had long lost the qualifications to be saved.

Luo Chaya collected its elemental aura and wrapped it in pure water.

"Thank you, King of Water..." The elemental water mushroom beast expressed its gratitude to Luo Chaya, thanking her for treating its clan so gently.

"Let's keep going. The Grass Dragon is deep in the desert and we will see her soon." Nashida said slowly.

Accompanying the elemental water mushroom beast, the group once again embarked on a journey deep into the desert.

However, when they set foot on the territory covered with yellow sand, a huge sandstorm suddenly occurred, sweeping everything around. In the endless yellow sand ahead, an extremely large snake-like figure emerged, overlooking Luo Chaya and her group.

The figure was so huge that all the people, things, and the surrounding mountains seemed very small in front of her.

"This is the Grass Dragon King Apep!" Nashida stared at the terrifying figure and said slowly.

"Fragile grass, usurping water, you are so insignificant, please... leave my territory!" Apep's voice was full of cold majesty, echoing between the surrounding heaven and earth.
