Chapter 238: What Happened One Year Ago
Narcida: "So fate is the ultimate knowledge, right?"
"That's a good idea, I agree. That's why you won't become me."
Nashida lowered her head in disappointment. She mistakenly thought that she could not become a great god like the Great Compassionate Tree King. "Really..."
The Great Compassion Tree King noticed that Nashida was in a low mood and consoled her, “But perhaps you will become a greater god than me, hehe.”
"I have seen in you the will that I did not have back then. The future it leads to is your destiny. And that is also the gift brought by everything you have experienced in the past."
"Don't worry, wisdom grows just like grass and trees. You just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom."
After hearing this, Nashida's mood improved.
[Nashida] "Have I been recognized by the Great Compassion Tree King..."
[Traveler Ying] "I also believe that Nashida will become a very great god."
[Captain] "Now that we've come to this, Nashida, please stop belittling yourself and be more confident. You are already a very good god."
[Herrser of Knowledge] "The great Lady Herrser of Knowledge has modified everyone's mind. From now on, Nashida is a very great god."
[Padofils (Elysian Land)] "Great Lady Nashida, please accept my humble obeisance!"
[Nilu] "My Lord Little King of the Lucky Grass, I admire you more and more now!"
[Nashida] "Although I know you are just trying to make me happy, I still want to say thank you!"
The scene continues with Paimon feeling sorry for Nashida. "Now that I think about it, the vision of the sages of the Order is really hopeless."
Nashida was very happy. "Thank you... This is really a very happy thing. The person I have always admired is actually myself with a different destiny... It's great to be able to talk to you, King of the Great Kindness Tree. I always seem to see you."
Great Kindness Tree King "I am no different. From the moment I broke off a branch from the World Tree and created you, I have been looking forward to having a conversation with you like this."
Nashida raised the doubts in her heart, "Can you tell me... about why I was created? And what happened when you died..."
"Well, I know you are here to seek answers. On the day when the incident happened, even the sky turned this color."
Traveler Ying: "It is indeed the [Kanria Disaster]."
The Great Compassion Tree King explained the situation to everyone, "At that time, all the seven gods except me were summoned to go to a country called Kanreya, but I had another more important mission."
"That is - protecting 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: "What exactly is forbidden knowledge?"
The Great Compassionate Tree King replied, "Forbidden knowledge is knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is the truth that cannot be understood. It comes from the bottom of the abyss, and even I cannot understand it."
"The world is constantly "rejecting" it, but this also causes the world to produce all kinds of bad "symptoms". If the forbidden knowledge is allowed to continue to pollute the world tree, I am afraid that the entire Teyvat will fall apart."
Paimon found it incredible, "There really is knowledge that even the God of Wisdom cannot understand..."
[Keqing] "This is the first time I've heard of something like this happening five hundred years ago. All I knew about that period of history was that a terrible catastrophe broke out."
[Ganyu] "The Warcraft riots continue to wreak havoc on innocent civilians, and countless families have been torn apart..."
[Ningguang] “According to historical records, during the catastrophe five hundred years ago, the Thousand Winds Army held their ground under the Layered Rock Abyss, preventing them from appearing in the entire Liyue. However, we also sacrificed many Thousand Winds Army soldiers and Yakshas because of this…”
[Barbara] "And at that time, Lord Barbatos and the gods of other countries were summoned to Kanria by that... heavenly law, right?"
[Wendy] "Yes, after all, this is something we have to do."
[Zhongli] "In that war, even we, the Seven Lords of the Midgard, suffered casualties..."
[Paimon] "It's too scary. I can't even imagine it..."
[Fukaros] "The previous water goddess Egolia died in that war... I'm afraid she had anticipated this, and that's why she passed the throne of water goddess to me."
[Lei Movie] "At that time, Shin went to Kanreya on my behalf, and because of what happened to Inazuma at that time, I had to stay to protect Inazuma, so I did not participate in the war at that time."
"...After receiving the promise from Kitsai Palace that he would eliminate all his worries, he set out for Kanreya. However, when I arrived there, the war was almost over. I was late after all, and there I saw... Shin lying there, dying..."
[Kujo Sara] "General..."
[Yae Kamiko] "Not only Master Shin, but also Kitsai Palace and his friends are all dead. That's why my A-Kage is so heartbroken that he locked himself up in the Pure Land and refused to come out. I was so worried... wuwuwu~"
【Lei Movie】“…”
Although Lei Yingdian didn't know why he felt that the fox deserved a beating, he still believed in his heart and gave a certain pink-haired fox at the Naruto Grand Shrine a lightning strike that would not kill it...
Just like that, Yaegamiko was struck by lightning while eating fried tofu and watching a video at Naruto Taisha Shrine without any preparation.
The people nearby were used to it. After all, it wasn't the first time their own palace master had been struck by lightning.
In the picture, the Great Compassion Tree King continued, "At that time, I knew that I could not expel the forbidden knowledge with my own strength. So I created a device to integrate human wisdom and named it [Void]."
Nashida herself was also amazed by the creation called [Void] and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It is the most amazing invention in the world."
Great Compassion Tree King: "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?"
Great Compassionate Tree King "Thanks to the wisdom of the people of Xumi, 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..."
