Chapter 549 Re-encounter with the World Tree
If Teyvat is like Morseine's dream, a prison created by the gods to satisfy their own selfish desires.
This provides evidence for the ultimate fate of the Eye of God he spoke of, explains the reasons for the destruction of the various kingdoms throughout history, and makes it clear what the Fools under the Ice God's command are up to by collecting the power of the Demon God.
However, what Xu Ning couldn't understand was why the various gods and powerful figures had such different attitudes towards Sky Island.
The Wind God should have supported the Ice God's rebellion, but he ruined the whole thing and benefited from it.
As for his own Rock Lord, he probably wouldn't support it, since he voluntarily gave him the Heart of God to brew wine.
Shadow was completely indifferent and unconcerned, but Lezi the Fox, who possessed two Thor's hearts, had an ambiguous attitude. He gave one to the Fools to complete their task and kept the other for brewing wine. He stood on both sides, yet he didn't stand on either side.
Although that guy from the scattered soldiers had selfish motives, he ultimately benefited himself. In this kind of situation, Ice God can only blame himself for making a bad choice in personnel.
Then there's Nasita, that increasingly cunning little girl who doesn't care about the Ice God at all. Just to satisfy her curiosity, she's willing to exchange the Heart of God for the truth of the world.
I don't know if the Doctor took this Heart of the Grass God to give to the Ice God or to keep it for his own research. I always felt that this traitor wasn't particularly interested in the Ice God's cause of rebellion.
And then there's that pitiful Ying, leading a bunch of traitors and causing trouble everywhere. I feel like this world is in a precarious state. When we get back, we'll have to upgrade Liyue's defenses again. Although we don't really want to cause trouble, we must have the ability to protect ourselves.
While Xu Ning was lost in thought, Seno had already received a notification from the Little Grass God and was bringing several disciplinary officers to receive Mosayion's consciousness.
It was through conversation that they learned that the Order of the Church did not have a person named "Mosayion" at all. Instead, there was a researcher named "Benoni" at the Shahavaro Academy who had been in a coma for some time and had been receiving treatment at the Health House.
Seno sent someone to retrieve the consciousness guiding device and, with the canned consciousness given to him by Narcida, went to the Health House to arrest people.
"Thank you again, my friends."
Nasita turned to look at Xu Ning and Kong, sincerely thanked them, and then said, "You have helped me and Xumi a great deal, and I have been thinking about how to repay you..."
Kong quickly waved his hand and declined, saying, "No need, no need."
Xu Ning smiled and said, just like Kong, "If we help you in exchange for something in return, then we can't call ourselves friends."
Nasita thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "You're right, but I have indeed been able to help you in some ways. For example, I think we can search for information about Kong's sister in the World Tree."
Kong exclaimed with delight, "Really? Yes, that way I'll know where she is and what she's doing!"
Xu Ning gently patted Kong's shoulder, telling him not to get too excited.
"You and Ying are both from outer space. The World Tree may not have any information about you. You should be prepared for that."
Kong was stunned when he heard Xu Ning's words, and his face immediately fell.
Nasita, seeing that Kong was in a bad mood, comforted him, "I once came across information about the Fatui in a dream and found a very interesting record. In their records, you are called 'Kong the Descendant,' but no similar title is used for your sister Ying."
"If, for some reason, your sister is recorded by the World Tree, then our attempt won't have been in vain. However, because the World Tree's information is so vast, even I cannot possibly traverse it all in a short time. So I found a good helper..."
Nasita pointed behind the two of them, and Xu Ning and Kong turned around to see an unexpected person.
"Damn it, why didn't they even put shackles on him? Kong, go and call the head of discipline back, a prisoner has escaped!"
Upon hearing Xu Ning's exclamation, Kong, who was honest, flashed with lightning and was about to use his ability to find Seno and the others when Nasida stopped him.
"He's the helper I hired, Xu Ning, don't joke around."
Xu Ning pointed at the stragglers and said to Nasida, "You were clearly the one who started this joke. Can he be trusted? What if this guy goes in and sets a fire?"
The skirmisher sneered, "Then congratulations on having another chance to save the world. Don't you enjoy playing this role? From Mondstadt to Liyue, from Inazuma to Sumeru, it's clear you enjoy it."
Xu Ning laughed sarcastically, "At least it's better than being dragged out of a Gundam and beaten up. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you didn't even get hit before you were lying there on your own."
Nasita helplessly advised the two, "Don't start arguing so soon. Releasing the skirmisher was my decision. We have a deal: he will go into the World Tree to find information in my place. Although it's an initial collaboration, I'm still looking forward to how it will go."
“During his journey to godhood, the Scatter Soldier was granted the power of the World Tree and could easily connect with it. Even now, without the Heart of God, he still retains some of that power. You two have also come into contact with the consciousness of the World Tree and are familiar with that place, so I thought you would go with him as his supervisor.”
Xu Ning pondered for a moment. If he went in with the scattered soldiers, they would be difficult to control if they started causing trouble. With him by his side, things would be much simpler.
Moreover, he had repeatedly thwarted the Abyss Order's plans, and he didn't know if Ying, who was closely related to them, would be punished by her subordinates.
Lately, those guys have been keeping a low profile and I don't know what they've been up to. Xu Ning really wants to get some information out of them.
"Alright, it shouldn't take much time anyway, I'll go with Kong again. Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Nasida shook her head. "If you're not tired now, we can go straight to Jingshan Palace and start."
Xu Ning and Kong exchanged a glance and laughed, "We've been dreaming all night, so we don't feel tired at all. Let's go!"
The four of them returned to Jingshan Palace.
"Although I won't go in with you, my consciousness will follow you and help you navigate, so don't worry about getting lost inside."
Xu Ning nodded, "Your words reassure us more than if he were to lead the way."
The stragglers snorted coldly upon hearing this, but surprisingly did not refute it.
"I will first take you to the World Tree. After you have made contact with the World Tree from the outside, I will grant you access to its interior. From then on, for your safety, please be careful and avoid anything unnecessary."
Xu Ning and the others, including the stragglers, all seriously agreed.
"Is it just my imagination? It seems like the colors on the World Tree side have become softer. What do you think, Sora?"
