Chapter 5 The Great Compassionate Tree King’s Answer
Then, the Great Compassionate Tree King began to talk about what happened at that time.
The Great Compassionate Tree King: "On the day this happened, even the sky turned into this color..."
"It is indeed the 'Kanria Disaster'." Traveler Sora didn't know whether he said it out loud or just thought it in his mind.
"At that time, all the seven gods except me were summoned to a country called Kanreya, but I had another more important mission. That is - to protect the World Tree."
"The disaster came with the contamination of forbidden knowledge. At almost the same moment, I, whose consciousness was connected to the World Tree, also noticed something strange."
"The mental pain began to torture me. When I rushed to the World Tree, it was already being eroded by forbidden knowledge."
"If I hadn't managed the pollution of forbidden knowledge with the Red King thousands of years ago, I would have been at a loss at that time."
Nashida: "Forbidden knowledge...what exactly is it?"
"It is knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is also a 'truth' that cannot be understood."
"It comes from the bottom of the abyss, and even I can't understand it."
[Leila: "What? Is there really such knowledge that even the God of Wisdom cannot understand?"]
“The world is constantly ‘rejecting’ it, but this also causes the world to have all kinds of bad ‘symptoms’.”
"If forbidden knowledge is allowed to continue to pollute the World Tree, I'm afraid the entire Teyvat will fall apart."
Paimon: "There really is knowledge that even the God of Wisdom cannot understand..."
"At that time, I knew that I could not expel the forbidden knowledge by my own strength."
“So I created a device that integrates human wisdom and named it ‘Void’.”
Nashida: "That is truly the most amazing invention in the world."
"Haha... Thank you. For a long time, I have believed that dreams are the crystallization of human wisdom."
"Although it's a bit selfish, I still use the void to borrow people's dreams. I integrate people's wisdom and contribute all my strength..."
Paimon: "What was the result?"
"Thanks to the wisdom of Xumi's people, almost all forbidden knowledge has been purged from the World Tree."
"But... things didn't go as smoothly as I expected. A headache gave me a bad feeling..."
"I just remembered that my consciousness is connected to the World Tree. The World Tree brought me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution also found me."
"From the very beginning... my existence has been tainted by forbidden knowledge."
Paimon: "Ah...how could it be..."
Nacida: "I have seen that kind of pain in your consciousness. Is it a terrible experience?"
"Well, but in comparison, my feelings are not important. What's important is..."
"Even if I die, my existence and everything related to me will still be preserved as memories and knowledge in the World Tree, so the forbidden knowledge can never be eradicated."
"And I... can never 'eliminate' myself. This is a paradox."
"So, I broke off the purest branch of the World Tree as my reincarnation, and left a clue..."
"Just so you can come here, I will completely erase the polluted me from the World Tree..."
[Nashida: What? Erase. I can finally confirm that we all knew the Great Compassion Tree King before, but now we have all forgotten her...]
[Nilu: Lord Grass God, it's okay. We know now. ]
[March 7: That's not right. If that's the case, wouldn't that forbidden knowledge come back again?]
【Nashida: Hmm...】
【Tinari: This...】
…………
[Ding! Considering the special nature of Teyvat, users of Teyvat can only speak in the chat group and cannot speak or write it outside the chat group. ]
【Wendy: Hey, luckily there is a chat group. 】
[Navilette: Well, this is the best for us and the common people.]
The video then continued playing.
Nashida: "...Wait, no...no...this is not right...!"
"Haha, do you understand what that means? It seems that you are really smart."
"As you thought, the World Tree contains all the knowledge and memories of this world..."
"If you erase me from the World Tree... it would be the same as if I had never existed in this world."
"But... this is the only way to truly save the World Tree."
Nashida: "People love you so much, and everyone has been missing you. How can I...I...just forget you..."
"Is there really no other way? Is there nothing else I can do?"
"You are the god of wisdom, Buyer, you should know this. There is no other way."
"But...but...this is too cruel, I don't want to forget you..."
"Don't be so sad, Boyer. As a wise man, you should enjoy the joy of finding the answer now."
"This is the answer you've been looking for, the one sentence you want to know the whole picture..."
“‘Let the world completely forget me.’”
