Chapter 239 Let the World Forget Me Completely
"I just remembered that my consciousness is connected to the World Tree. The World Tree brings me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution also finds me."
"From the very beginning... my existence has been tainted by forbidden knowledge."
Paimon: “Ah? How could it be…”
Nashida: "I have seen the pain in your mind. It must be a terrible experience, right?"
Great Compassion Tree King: "Well, but in comparison, my feelings are not important. What is important is..."
Although it was a bit hard to bear, for the sake of the entire Teyvat continent, the Great Compassion Tree King had to tell Nashida this cruel fact: "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 taboo knowledge can never be eradicated."
“And I… can never [eliminate] myself, which is a paradox.”
"So, I broke off the purest branch of the world tree, as my reincarnation, and left clues..."
"Just so you can come here and completely erase the polluted me from the World Tree..."
After hearing this, Nashida became flustered and rushed forward to deny the Great Compassion Tree King, "...Wait, no...no...this is not right...!"
[Nashida] "How could it be..."
[Paimon] "Wait, wait a minute. I was a little slow to react. What did the Great Compassion Tree King just say?"
[Zhongli] "Alas..."
[Lei Movie] "Alas..."
[Captain] "Ah..."
[Paimon] "Stop sighing, can anyone tell me what's going on?!"
[Traveler Ying] "Paimon, sometimes I really envy your underdeveloped brain..."
[Otto] "What a sad truth."
In the picture, the Great Compassion Tree King saw Nashida's reaction and smiled softly, "Haha, do you understand what that means? It seems that you are really smart. Just as you thought, all the knowledge and memories of this world exist in the World Tree..."
"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 save the World Tree."
[Kiana] "Are you trying to make everyone forget about the Great Compassion Tree King? Even the gods are no exception?"
[Fukaros] "Yes, all life on Teyvat will forget her."
[Alicea] "No, I just met such a cute girl, I don't want to forget her, wuwuwu~"
[Nilu] "This is really too cruel for Lord Little Jixiangcao."
[Captain] "She had to do this to remove the pollution from the World Tree. How sad it is..."
[Nashida] "But...if we forget the words of the Great Compassion Tree King and everything she has done, wouldn't it become...meaningless? I...I can't accept it!"
[Zhongli] "Not everyone will forget the Great Compassion Tree King. Even without the intervention of the live broadcast room, travelers who are strangers will still remember everything."
【Traveler Ying】“Me?”
[Wendy] "After all, you, the traveler, do not belong to our Teyvat continent. The erasure of the Great Compassion Tree King from the World Tree has no effect on you. Because you are a witness."
[Stargazing] "What's even more fortunate is that the forbidden knowledge on the World Tree has been eliminated by Xiaobai, and you, Nashida, still remember the Great Kindness Tree King clearly."
[Traveler Ying] "That is to say, Nashida, you don't need to erase the Great Compassion Tree King."
[Nashida] "Well, Xiaobai, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Thank you."
【You're welcome. 】
In the picture, Nashida had a sad face. "People loved you so much. Everyone has been missing you all the time. How can I...I...just forget you like this..."
Although Nashida knew it clearly, she still insisted on finding a third possibility, a possibility that could save the World Tree while preventing the Great Compassion Tree King from being forgotten. "Is there really no other way? Is there nothing else I can do?"
"You are the god of wisdom, Buyel, you should know this. There is no other way."
Nashida: "But...but...this is too cruel. I don't want to forget you..."
The Great Compassion Tree King comforted him, "Don't be so sad, Buyel. 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.]"
[Yae Sakura] "So this is what [Making the world completely forget about me] means."
[Klee] "Wow, Nashida is so pitiful... Klee doesn't want to forget the Great Compassion Tree King!"
[Kaeya] "Don't worry, Klee. You won't forget her."
Under the World Tree, the Great Compassionate Tree King bid his final farewell to Nashida. "We all live under the World Tree, trying to read the world."
The Great Kind Tree King slowly approached the sad and distressed Nashida, "Read from the soil, read from the rain."
Nashida wanted to reach out and touch the Great Compassion Tree King, but she was afraid that she would disappear if she touched it, so she quickly drew her hand back, hesitant...
The Great Kind Tree King then transformed into a white bird, climbed up the branch, and finally caught the crucial leaf in its mouth.
The Great Mercy Tree King slowly walked towards Nashida, held her tearful face, held her in his arms, and gave her the greatest comfort he could achieve.
Nashida also wanted to hug her tightly, but she couldn't bear it...
"Once upon a time, I was the only person in the world who could dream. In my dreams, everyone else would fall asleep at night."
Once upon a time, the Great Compassionate Tree King took the purest branch from the World Tree. She gathered her strength on that branch, and tender buds grew on that branch, emitting a faint light.
The Great Mercy Tree Queen held the branch in her arms, just as she was holding Nashida now.
"People have weird ideas floating around in their minds."
"Some rolled to the ground, and some floated up into the sky."
“It connects everything into a dazzling web.”
"Among the three thousand worlds, there are small worlds."
"All destiny boils here."
Nashida burst into tears. She clenched her hands and then slowly loosened them. A force of grass element gathered from her palms. It seemed that she had made up her mind...
"I gradually came to understand that these things that cannot be described and are constantly changing are the most profound things in the world."
Nashida finally plucked up the courage and hugged the Great Mercy Tree King with both hands. At that moment, the Great Mercy Tree King's body began to gradually dissipate, and her voice still echoed in everyone's ears.
"Only they can completely drive away the madness."
“Only dreams can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness.”
Finally, the Great Kindness Tree King disappeared in Nashida's arms. Nashida still couldn't accept the reality. She fell to her knees, watching with tears in her eyes as the Great Kindness Tree King turned into countless green leaves and floated away into the distance.
