"Who are you? Why did you come here? What did you do to the World Tree?" Then, Nashida asked a series of questions, leaving Yu Jin not knowing which one to answer.
"It's just healing the World Tree, kid." Yu Jin felt extremely tired. He now doubted whether Nashida could have healed the World Tree if he hadn't come.
"Cure illness?" Nashida lowered her head and thought, "Is it the forbidden knowledge hidden deep under the world tree?"
This is the problem left to her by the Great Compassionate Tree King, and it is also a problem that Nashida still has no clue about.
The upcoming taboo was like a sword of Damocles hanging over Nashida's head. Nashida kept absorbing knowledge day and night, in large part to solve this crisis.
"It seems that you have some understanding of the World Tree." Yu Jin felt slightly relieved that he finally got in touch with this little guy.
"Is your method of curing diseases the golden tree growing below?" Nashida looked at the extended roots of the golden tree and felt a little skeptical.
That feeling of suffocation and the roots of the golden tree growing and swaying wildly in the information current below don't look like they are here to cure any illness.
"Of course! Otherwise, why would I plant trees underground when I have nothing better to do?" Ember said as a matter of course.
After hearing this, Nashida nodded towards the roots of the golden tree below, and then said cautiously: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think the World Tree does not need your help."
The World Tree concerns the stability of the entire continent of Teyvat. She couldn't just hand over the World Tree to this guy of unknown origin.
Nashida placed her palm lightly on the World Tree, hoping that the voice inside the World Tree could give her some hints.
But she was disappointed. There was nothing inside the World Tree except the flowing data.
"Don't look for him anymore. That guy is dead." Yu Jin saw Nashida's little movement and reminded her.
"You don't need me to do anything? Hehe, then I've worked in vain, right?"
"Besides, little one, you don't have a choice. As a family member, just wait for the doctor to perform the operation!"

"Little guy, judging from your appearance, I don't think you can handle the pollution in the World Tree."
"So, watch carefully! How the power of God performs miracles!"
As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, the white ocean under the World Tree surged even more violently. Nashida knew that those waves were not caused by the World Tree, but by something swimming in it.
The familiar feeling of suffocation came again, Nashida covered her neck and knelt on the branches of the World Tree.
She is part of the World Tree, and changes in the World Tree will be reflected in her.
"Haha, it will be fine in a while. Now is the time for surgery. It's normal to feel some pain!"
Under the vast ocean that Nashida could not see, the roots of countless golden trees were entwined around the roots of the World Tree.
Among these intertwined golden tree roots, some were particularly strong. They were taproots, roots that reached directly to the source of the taboo.
The huge taproots did not entwine around the thin roots of the World Tree like other roots. Instead, they grew and eventually leaned against the black trunk of the World Tree.
"Boom!" The vast fluctuations of the earth's veins seemed to be transmitted to the World Tree. Under the impact of the giant golden root, the entire World Tree trembled.
"Ah!" This time, in addition to the feeling of suffocation, Nashida also felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Her body was shaking, as if something invisible was trying to break through her chest and get inside.
In fact, this is the case. The gold on the surface of the giant root of the golden tree has become extremely solid and not as transparent as before.
If the golden color of the golden tree before was the bright light emitted by the gilded lamp, then now this color has become the real golden color, which is reflected by gold.
Although not as bright as a lamp, it is heavy enough to be ignored.
The huge gold hit the trunk of the World Tree. The sound of trees breaking could be heard around the originally quiet World Tree.
Nashida's chest was hurting more and more, and the pain became more intense with each passing second.
When the pain reached its peak, it suddenly dissipated.
"What...what happened?" There was still some sweat on Nashida's forehead from the pain just now, but now the pain had disappeared.
Also gone was the feeling of suffocation.
Nashida's hand was still on her chest, and a big hole seemed to appear out of nowhere there. All the pain and discomfort flowed out of her body through this hole.
Under the World Tree, the Golden Tree finally broke through the World Tree's skin. The huge golden roots stretched into the World Tree.
There was no information flowing inside, only endless darkness. Or perhaps it should be said that there was information, but it was all useless, meaningless roars and whispers.
It was they who eroded the pure white World Tree.
But they could not harm the golden tree. A faint golden light shone through the darkness.
The giant root that extended into the World Tree turned into a source. More slender roots branched out from this big root, gradually filling up with darkness.
Then they relaxed their restrictions and began to actively absorb this forbidden knowledge.
"How disgusting..." Golden Tree whispered to Ember. Compared with Ember's blood, these things were like stinky mud, which made it disgusted.
After hearing what the golden tree said, the embers far above the ground slapped its trunk hard.
"Children should not be picky about food. They will grow up faster if they eat more!"
“I’m big now.”
"How old are you? You're already so stubborn. No wonder the Supreme Will doesn't care about your mother. It must be arguing with the Supreme Will every day."
"..."
After a meaningless conversation, Golden Tree finally endured everything silently.
It wasn't that bad actually. It hadn't absorbed all of the blood from the ember yet, so eating a bunch of forbidden knowledge and a little bit of the blood from the ember wasn't bad.
"What did you... do?" Nashida automatically filtered out the conversation between Cinders and the Golden Tree.
She looked at the golden patterns wrapped around her calves, something she had never had before.
"I didn't do anything. I just put a purifier inside the World Tree." Yu Jin's tone was extremely relaxed when he said this, as if he had just done something insignificant.
"Purifier?" Nashida fell into deep thought, but she was not thinking about what the purifier was, but who Yu Jin was.
Is there such a powerful yet eccentric person among the Seven Gods?
Nashida wasn't sure. Perhaps the God of Wind met this characteristic, but what about that big golden tree?
She had never heard of such a powerful tree in Teyvat. When it stretched out from the ground, the World Tree even thought it was coming to replace itself.
"Can you tell me who you are?" Nashida thought for a while, but had no clue.
She looked at the white ocean below, which had long since calmed down, hoping for a response.
"Who am I?" Ember repeated Nashida's words in a low voice. Then there was no movement.
Then Nashida saw the calm ocean surge again, and the roots of the golden tree that had disappeared stretched out from below.
But this time the roots of the golden tree were intertwined into a flower bud shape.
The golden flower bud bloomed, and then a figure covered in knight armor jumped out from it.
"Adventurers' Guild, Embers is here!" Embers jumped from the flower bud to Nashida's side.
But strangely, his body fell on the branch of the World Tree covered with pink and white fluff without causing any ripples.
"Are you a conscious being?" Nashida looked at the somewhat illusory embers in front of her and saw his current state at a glance.
"Smart." Yu Jin nodded and admitted it openly. Fortunately, it was a consciousness that could reach here. If Yu Jin really had to dig through the ground to get here, he would not be willing to do so.
"Embers..." Nashida looked at the Embers looking around, and countless demon names kept flashing through her mind, but none of them could match the guy in front of her.
"Hey, don't look for it. You won't find it." Yu Jin touched the pure white bark of the World Tree and looked up at this huge tree that was almost the same size as Xiao Huang.
A storage device for all memories? It seems that the various information stored in it can also be modified?
Yu Jin touched his chin, wondering what the point of setting this up was. It would be great to make the World Tree a database, why add a modification function?
It seems that simply modifying data cannot really change history, right? At most, it can only cover up history, and there are many ways to circumvent it.
If you really want to change history, you have to turn over the river of time. But that is too difficult for people of average strength.
Maybe..., it was a trick? Yu Jin suddenly realized and felt that he had discovered some secret.
"Are you thinking of something rude?" Nashida asked suspiciously as she watched Cinder scratching at the World Tree.
Did that powerful force just now really belong to this guy?
"How can you... That's not right! How can you vilify someone's innocence out of thin air?" Yu Jin was shocked. Could it be that this little guy could read minds?
"By the way, I still don't know your name?" Yu Jin suddenly realized that he seemed to have not asked her name yet.
Although he had already guessed who the little guy in front of him was.
"Nashida, you can also call me Buyer." Generally speaking, the name of the demon god cannot be easily revealed to others, but for this guy in front of him...
Nashida looked at the ember trying to peel off a piece of bark from the World Tree again, and her eyes twitched. For this guy, it doesn't matter much.
"Buyer? Can't you just say Grass God?" Yu Jin tilted his head and thought for a while, but he couldn't find the three words "Buyer" in his mind.
He doesn't even remember the name of the demon.
The Seven Gods are so easily recognizable, and with such a large accumulation of elemental power, it is hard not to recognize them.
As to whether it is a god or a dragon king, it depends on its appearance.
"I heard that you are also the god of wisdom?" Yu Jin looked at Nashida in front of him and remembered what Cole and the others said.
So he came up with the idea of testing this little god.
"Then look at what this is?"
As he spoke, Yu Jin opened his arm armor.
Chapter 213 The Grass God Trying to Break the Cage
2023-10-05
It was as if an arm made of mud appeared beside the World Tree, emitting a twisted and desperate aura, making the pink and white fur under the feet of Yu Jin and Nashida coarse.
Fortunately, the arm only appeared for a moment before disappearing again. The pink and white hair only lost its luster.
"Hmph!" Although Yu Jin hid his arm under the armor in an instant, Nashida still saw what was inside.
Human faces, lumps of flesh, and intertwined fire.
