Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Outside the World Tree, there is cloud and mist, making it difficult to identify. The World Tree is huge in size, taller than any tree Nan Zhangsheng has ever seen. It connects the sky and the earth, and carries the affairs of all living beings in the world. The answers to the things happening in Teyvat can be found here.

The pink leaves are falling, and the color of the tree trunks is very dull, indicating that the pollution of taboo knowledge is very serious and needs to be removed as soon as possible.

Nan Zhangsheng and Nashida finally arrived here. They were not far from the World Tree. They looked determined and walked side by side without stopping.

Nashida, who wants to become a qualified god, uses the power of the devil to fight against the erosion of forbidden knowledge and protect Nan Zhangsheng who seems to be her fanatical believer.

"The world...forgot me..."

A voice was heard, sad and heartbreaking, but the voice didn't seem to feel that way, it was just stating the facts, clarifying its own situation.

Under the shade of the tree, a petite figure stood there, her hair as white as snow, her eyes emerald green, her face childish and crystal clear, and she looked exactly like the grass god who was heading towards the big tree.

"This is..." Nashida was stunned. When she saw the previous Grass God, she didn't know why the other person looked exactly like her, and even his aura was no different.

The previous Grass God, the Great Compassion Tree King, smiled gently, her voice as soft as floating clouds, and she said, "You are finally here, Buyer, Mr. Nan."

"I don't deserve it." Nan Zhangsheng hurriedly said politely. He was very clear about the deeds of this god. He was a model for the country, the people and the world, so he should not act rashly.

The Great Compassion Tree King still smiled and said slowly: "I guess you already have the result in your mind and know everything that will happen next, right?"

Nan Zhangsheng looked embarrassed, coughed twice, and said: "I know, you are indeed the God of Wisdom. You came to this conclusion so easily that I can't perform quietly."

"That's okay. After all, it concerns Sumeru and even Teyvat. It also concerns your own safety. We should consider it carefully." King Daci Tree said.

Nan Zhangsheng nodded, but he disagreed with her point of view. "In this world, no one is unimportant and must disappear. The same goes for gods. I will try my best to save you!"

"Sir, the Great Compassionate Tree King..." Nashida looked around and found that he was the only one who was not in the right state, as if he was still kept in the dark.

However, there is no need for this person and this god to explain. She is also the god of wisdom, no weaker than others. After going through all the things just now, she came to a conclusion that conforms to the facts.

The Great Compassionate Tree King wants to save Xumi and completely eliminate the pollution of forbidden knowledge, but he may disappear and never exist again, and no one can remember him.

And Nan Zhangsheng, this guy who has been different from ordinary people since his appearance, has to withstand pressure that even gods cannot do, so that the deeds of the Great Compassionate Tree King will be remembered, and even... survive.

To put it nicely, it's called lofty ambitions, but to put it realistically, it's just wishful thinking. That is an erosion that even gods cannot resist. What can he, a mortal who is about to die, do?

The Great Compassionate Tree King sighed and advised: "I am no longer here. I died in the fight against forbidden knowledge. What still exists is just an obsession. It cannot be saved."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Nan Zhangsheng was trying to persuade him, "I am also a patient, and I know how important the mentality is to the treatment of the disease."

"This is different."

“It’s actually the same!”

Opinions differ, and both sides hold their own views. No one is willing to give in to the other, because the connection between all these things is too great, and the cost is not something that one person or one god can bear alone.

Nashida was anxious and said quickly, "Sir, King of the Great Compassion Tree, please stop arguing and talk it out, okay?"

The childlike words and innocent request made the man and the god, who insisted on their own opinions, speechless for a long time, and then they nodded.

The Great Compassionate Tree King, the god who has fought against forbidden knowledge alone for many years, faced the World Tree with unstoppable power. She spoke softly, her voice gentle but with a hint of determination.

"I am just an obsession, replacing the original Great Compassion Tree King to stay in the world and delay the time for the World Tree to be eroded by forbidden knowledge. Now it is almost reaching its limit. The only way is to remove the forbidden knowledge from the World Tree, and I will disappear, and no one will remember me!"

Nan Zhangsheng said anxiously, "That's why I want to try to stop it. Let me try another way and let you stay."

"Why? We have never met before, but why do you always act as if we have known each other for a long time and treat me and us differently?"

The Great Compassionate Tree King was puzzled. This was one of the few things in the world that she did not understand. Why did this kind-hearted young man treat them like this? It did not make sense and it was not right.

At this time, Nashida also reacted. This man was indeed very kind to her and had guided her, but she really didn't know and couldn't figure out why he did this.

A smile flashed across Nan Zhangsheng's face, and it was fleeting. He had a different temperament than usual, more noble and deeper. He was passionate and his words were moving.

"I always think that gods like the Great Compassionate Tree King, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the world, should not be forgotten. I am also wondering, what are the ways to save you?"

Nashida was stunned. She had never thought so far, or rather, she had never thought about it, because until today, she actually did not understand this person's heart, nor had she met the former Grass God, so she would not have these assumptions.

The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head and said as a matter of course: "It should be like this. Taboo knowledge is difficult to completely eliminate. Even in this life, I still haven't fulfilled my duty. It's no big deal for a god like this to be forgotten."

"No, it's not like that." Someone denied it, but it was not Nan Zhangsheng, but Nashida who had been silent the whole time. Her eyes were filled with tears and her vision was a little blurry, but her words were firm.

"The Great Compassionate Tree King is the god that the people of Xumi trust the most and rely on the most. How could you be forgotten? There must... there must be other ways!"

"That's right, let's give it a try." Nan Zhangsheng was still trying to persuade him, but suddenly he spoke in a hurry, "We don't have much time left, we have to make a decision early!"

"Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but it is really not necessary. If I have to fulfill my duty, I must do it thoroughly. As a wisp of obsession, I have long lost my purity in the process of fighting against forbidden knowledge. If I don't get rid of it, the taboo will remain."

The Great Compassionate Tree King explained that this was the key reason why she must be forgotten. If she were still there, the forbidden knowledge would have the possibility of a counterattack.

Nan Zhangsheng certainly knew this, but he also had a way, which was the technological means of his own teacher. Although it could not guarantee 100% success, it still had a good chance of success.

"Sir, thank you for taking care of Buyer all the time. If possible in the future, please do your best to help her understand the ways of the world." The Great Compassionate Tree King seemed to be entrusting his son to someone else, or giving his last words.

“No.” Nan Zhangsheng refused without even thinking. Then, under the horrified gazes of the two gods, he took a big step and walked towards the World Tree.

"Sir, no!" the Great Compassionate Tree King shouted urgently.

Nan Zhangsheng waved his hand, turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't touch the World Tree. After being covered in something, there is still a possibility of recovery. I won't touch it blindly! Although...

If I had this ability, I wouldn't have to keep persuading them. I could just directly erase the forbidden knowledge. There's no need to waste my breath. It turns out that scientific research is not reliable without real strength!"

He seemed to be talking incoherently, saying whatever came to his mind, expressing his feelings and complaining at the same time. It was very difficult to understand what he was trying to say.

"Please let King Dacishu witness Nashida's future with your own eyes. I will also have a family soon and I don't have time to accompany you, so... I'm sorry!"

Nan Zhangsheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He shook out an instrument from his bracelet, aimed it at the Great Compassion Tree King, whose body was just a spirit, and performed an unknown operation.

"This is, copying?" The Great Compassion Tree King saw the function of this instrument at a glance, and suddenly realized: "Is this the method you mentioned, sir?"

"That's right. Since the Great Compassion Tree King is now terminally ill, we will create a being that is identical in both memory and personality. This is also a kind of continuation. As for the bad things that come with it, just delete them all!"

Nan Zhangsheng slowly explained while checking the "viruses" carried in them and eliminating them one by one.

"Even though this is the case, the Great Compassion Tree King can only exist in a specific instrument as a piece of data from now on, but this is the best I can do. Sorry!"

"Sir." The Great Compassion Tree King pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that's good. But can you really guarantee that there won't be any forbidden knowledge that slips through the net?"

"Of course, the instrument's deletion function is simpler than biological memory. The principle behind it is difficult to explain, but it can be done."

"In that case, I am completely relieved." The Great Compassionate Tree King smiled and looked at the Little Grass God beside him. "I originally had a lot more things to say to you, but I will have to wait until later. Now... it's time to say goodbye."

Nashida was about to cry, hugging the dying god.

"Let the world completely forget me!"

This was the original plan of the Great Compassion Tree King, but now it should be renamed to make the world completely forget the forbidden knowledge, because the data from the instruments over there has already been completed.

Nan Zhangsheng waved his hand and said, "See you later, Great Compassion Tree King."

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the young man in blue and said solemnly, "See you later, sir. Thank you very much!"

"It's nothing. For the sake of the Great Compassion Tree King and Nashida, we travelers should fight!"

Everything was fine, and he got what he wanted. Nan Zhangsheng also relaxed and could say some of the nonsense he usually made up. In fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time, for more than twenty years, or even more than that.

The decadent boy who used to only be able to sit in front of the computer, watching the plot go by and his favorite characters disappear, now finally has the fundamental ability to take the so-called plot into his own hands.

This feeling is so good.
