Chapter 237: The Great Tree King and Nashida
[Paimon] "But what is the answer to this question? I don't know the meaning of the four options above."
[Traveler Ying] "Ignore the meaning of this for now. I will choose the answer in my mind first."
【Please ask the traveler to answer the question】
[Traveler Ying] "Xiaobai, I choose A. Let the world completely forget me."
【Congratulations to Traveler Ying for answering correctly】
【Traveler Ying】"It's really an A!"
[Paimon] "Traveler, why did you choose A? Do you know something? Come on, tell me."
[Traveler Ying] "It's nothing, actually. I think among the four options, only A means wanting to be forgotten. The other three options are different, but they all mean not wanting to be forgotten."
[Nashida] "Indeed. Option A has a different meaning from the other three options."
【Traveler Ying】“So I thought A was a little more special, so I chose A. At first I answered the question with a try-it attitude, but I didn’t expect that I actually got the answer right.”
[Ganyu] "Anyway, congratulations, Traveler, you answered correctly."
[Start playing the video below]
After Traveler Ying and others worked together to defeat the God of Righteousness, Nashida took Traveler Ying and Paimon to the consciousness space where the World Tree existed.
But what Nashida didn't expect was that the remaining consciousness of the Great Mercy Tree King was also seriously polluted. In order to save Sumeru and the entire continent of Teyvat, in order to solve the final answer to the puzzle.
Nashida had to go to the World Tree, and on the way she encountered a group of monsters contaminated by forbidden knowledge. Since Nashida had little fighting ability, the traveler Ying acted as a bodyguard to protect Nashida.
After clearing out the monsters, Traveler Ying and the others started the Boat of Consciousness and headed for their final destination...
[Traveler Ying] "Seeing this, I still want to complain, Paimon!"
[Paimon] "Huh? What's wrong? Traveler..."
[Traveler Ying] "In the video, when we were heading to the World Tree, Nashida and I both suffered adverse reactions from the environmental pollution there, but you were fine. Don't you have any explanation for this?"
[Captain] "Paimon's behavior is really suspicious. Even the gods are affected..."
[Paimon] "I, I don't know! I haven't experienced it myself, so how would I know?"
[Brownie] "My guess is that Paimon is actually a very powerful being, more powerful than a god. He lost his power and memory due to special reasons and happened to meet the Traveler. In the end, Paimon regained his memory and power and stabbed the Traveler in the back..."
[Paimon] "No way! I will never hurt the Traveler, Traveler, you have to believe me!"
【Traveler Ying】"Well, I believe you."
[Paimon] "Then can you please look away from me? Your eyes scare me..."
[Traveler Ying] "It's okay, Paimon, you're my best friend, how could I possibly hurt you~"
[Paimon] "That's right, the Traveler is the best person in the world to me."
The video continues, and Traveler Ying and others successfully arrive at the location of the World Tree. Under the dreamlike tree, they continue to move forward.
Paimon looked at the towering tree in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the place you guys have been talking about... the foot of the World Tree..."
Nashida finally saw the person she had always wanted to see. "This is it."
Traveler Ying: "Yes... It's the same place as in my memory."
Paimon looked at the traveler Ying with some confusion, "We...we are here to find the Great Compassion Tree King...right?"
Traveler Ying nodded and gave Paimon a positive answer, although she herself felt a little unbelievable.
Paimon confirmed that he was not dazzled. "But standing there is..."
Everyone was surprised to find an unexpected figure - a figure that looked exactly like Nashida.
Nashida was also confused about this. "I...? Exactly the same as me..."
Nashida couldn't help but walk forward and asked, "Are you... the Great Kindness Tree King?"
[Kiana] "What's going on? She looks exactly like Nashida!"
[Paimon] "I don't know. I always thought Nashida was the daughter of the Great Mercy Tree King. Could it be that the Great Mercy Tree King and Nashida are actually twin sisters?"
[Nashida] "I am also surprised. I finally got to see the Great Kindness Tree King, but I didn't expect it to be in this form. All the answers will be revealed here."
[Alicea] "Wow! What I said was true! I can really see cute girls~ I really want to kidnap them, oh no, bring them home~"
In the picture, the Great Compassion Tree King smiled at Nashida with a gentle look in his eyes, "Yes, it's me. Does this look... surprise you?"
Traveler Ying "A wonderful picture... two people who are almost exactly the same..."
The Great Compassionate Tree King explained, “Although this place has reproduced the appearance of the World Tree and the earth back then, it is ultimately just a consciousness space.”
"Because you and I are of the same Essence, we also appear identical."
Nashida asked, "Why... are they essentially the same?"
"Because you are me, and I am you. You are my [Reincarnation]."
Nashida was thoughtful. "【Reincarnation】..."
"As the King of Great Compassion, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch broken off from the World Tree."
“It’s like… even if a tree dies, its branches will one day take root and grow, continuing life in another form.”
"The me in front of you is just a trace of my consciousness as the Great Ci Tree King. The real me must have been dead for a long time, right?"
The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Nashida and said, "Hmm... Judging from your current appearance, I have been dead for about 500 years..."
"You are finally here, me after [reincarnation]."
[Traveler Ying] "The relationship between the Little Auspicious Grass King and the Great Kindness Tree King is actually like this."
[Colai] "Incredible..."
[Paimon] "I wonder what the faces of those people in the Ministry of Education would be if they knew about this?"
[Dixia] "Who cares? They probably won't believe me even if I tell them."
[Traveler Ying] "The first thing I will do when I go to Xumi is to destroy the Church of the Lord!"
[Klee] "Klee is here to help too!"
Hearing this, Nashida expressed her doubts, "If that's the case, could it be that... one day I will become a great god like you?"
"Although you and I have the same essence, our destinies will definitely be different. Everything has its own destiny."
"Just like when a branch grows into a new tree, it cannot be exactly the same as the original one."
