The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 636 Self-Sacrifice? A Farce Created by Two Generations of Gods of Wisdom...

The others ignored the playful banter between Fengdan and his friends, and instead fell into deep thought after hearing Fengdan's decision.

At this moment, they are combining Inazuma and Fontaine's answers to deeply consider and repeatedly examine the relocation plan.

After all, even ordinary people need to carefully consider things before moving.

Not to mention relocation around the world, living under someone else's roof is clearly more important than moving.

This clearly requires utmost caution, after all, this is not something children can play around with, and there's no going back on it...

After a moment of silence, due to the wishes of Naxida and the people of Sumeru, the Great Compassionate Tree King, Buyer, who had regained his position as the Grass God, also spoke and announced Sumeru's decision:

"According to the information given by Mr. Zhongli, the kind of natural disaster called Collapse is something we cannot contend with. Therefore, I will not let my people make a meaningless struggle for the sake of justice. Thus, Sumeru will also be integrated into this world at that time..."

At this point, Buyer paused, then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, looked apologetically at Nasita sitting beside him and said softly:
“Nasita, when it’s time for Teyvat to relocate, you will be in charge of assisting the people of Sumeru with their transfer.”

"Also, I'm sorry, but from now on, you'll have to handle the Sumeru matters yourself..."

"how about you?"

Hearing these words, which sounded like a family entrustment in a traditional story, Naxida immediately snapped out of her daze from Buyer's sudden apology.

After realizing what Buyer had said, Nasita felt a sense of foreboding, and her expression became visibly panicked.

So Nasita interrupted Bouyer before she could finish speaking, her expression becoming agitated:
"If I'm in charge of relocating the people of Sumeru, what are you planning to do?"

Nasida stared intently at Buyer, as if trying to discern something from her gaze.

"I?"

Buyer smiled slightly, a smile that was still beautiful, but in Nasita's eyes, it had a strange, broken beauty, like fragile glass, which made her feel a strange sense of unease.

Faced with Nasita's question, Buyer simply shrugged, concealing all his emotions beneath a smile, and chuckled as he said:
"My mission in life was to protect the World Tree, but the World Tree cannot be moved, so naturally I must live and die with Teyvat."

"Moreover, if the World Tree is left unguarded, something bad is bound to happen..."

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy surroundings instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Bouyer with a mixture of admiration and bewilderment, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

The admiration stems from respect that even at such a time, she was still upholding her mission and was willing to live and die with the continent of Teyvat.
The question is why she is still willing to uphold that so-called "mission" at this point. Aren't her people and lives the most important thing?

Once they've all moved away from Teyvat, what's the point of the World Tree's existence? Why be so stubborn about dying with the World Tree?
However, Buyer clearly had no intention of answering the questions raised by the crowd. She simply looked tenderly at the little person in front of her, her eyes filled with affection.

Buyer's meaning was very clear, but Nasitako was unwilling. She had gone to great lengths and paid a high price to obtain a resurrection coin from Morax and resurrect the Great Tree King.

She had only been resurrected for a few months, and now she wanted to actively seek death. How could she accept that?
"No, you've finally been reborn, how can you go and die again? Especially not in such a pointless way."

Nasida initially rejected Buyer's arrangement with a passionate tone, then changed the subject, saying in a somewhat low voice:
"Besides... I really can't do it. For the past five hundred years, I've been staying in the Pure Goodness Palace. Although I've had some contact with the outside world, my wisdom..."

"I have absolutely no idea how to govern a country. Without you, I would make a complete mess of Sumeru..."

"Don't say that, Nasita!"

The birth of Buyer stopped Nasita from wallowing in self-pity, and he gently comforted her:

"No one is born with knowledge. Every demon god is like that. You are like that, and so am I."

"We all grow through continuous learning. The progress in life is about finding the right path through repeated mistakes, summarizing experiences, and making corrections. This is the process of learning, and it is also the process of growth."

"So don't underestimate yourself, you can do it, Nasita!"

"As a deity, you have ample time to embrace and experience setbacks and mistakes, and to learn valuable lessons from them in order to grow."

"When you've grown to a high enough level and learned enough knowledge, then there will be no difference between you and me. At that time, you will be a qualified Grass God..."

Buyer gently held Nasita in his arms, softly stroked her head, and soothed her emotions in gentle words.

Her tone was full of encouragement and motivation, without a trace of impatience, just like a mother's love, selfless and doting.

The others watched this scene of the torch being passed on, without saying a word, simply standing quietly and witnessing this touching moment.

However, Nasita is not a child, and Buyer was able to change the subject so easily.

Although it wasn't immediately obvious, Nasita was, after all, the goddess of wisdom, and when Bouyel uttered those words, she already knew his intentions:
She shifted the topic from her own life or death to her own growth and studies, thus subconsciously making everyone forget what she had just said and accept the fact that she would bring Sumeru to Douluo Continent and that she would die alongside the World Tree...

So, Narcida, the cat who had been quietly nestled in Buyer's arms, ignored Buyer's encouragement and, after a moment of contemplation, looked up at Buyer and said:
“Buyer, what you say may be true, but in this process of trial and error, I may make many mistakes, and the people of Sumeru may pay the price for my mistakes…”

"So, rather than letting innocent people get involved, it would be better for you to lead them from the beginning. Besides, the god they've always wanted is you, not me..."

After saying that, Naxida paused for a few seconds before speaking again:

"Besides... I am also a grass god, and protecting the World Tree is also my mission. I am willing to sacrifice myself to protect the World Tree..."

The moment the word "sacrifice" left her lips, Buyer's expression changed. His face turned serious, and he pressed his index finger against Nasita's lips, stopping her from continuing to express her thoughts.

“Nasita, you need to know one thing: I am just a remnant of the past, while you are the real, tangible future.”

"Just like the current rule of man in Liyue, my existence only makes the people of Sumeru dependent on me, but your existence can help them learn to break free from their dependence on the gods and learn to grow on their own."

"After such a long period of development, the people of Sumeru are now very different from those of the past. They have learned to rely on their own strength to learn and acquire knowledge, rather than relying on the gods."

“Therefore, what they need is a ‘person’ who can lead them and grow with them, not a ‘god’ like me who is benevolent and selfless and can answer all their questions…” Buyer earnestly explained her thoughts to Nasita.

However, Nasita really disagreed with this idea.

Furthermore, who says that human progress must be manifested in the demise of God?
So, facing Buernakenche's gaze, Nasita shook her head firmly: "No, it's different. You didn't have to do this, you..."

Just as Nasita was about to continue her debate with Bouyer, a strange yet familiar male voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears:

"While I greatly admire your noble spirit of self-sacrifice, is there any possibility that I could move the World Tree here?"

Everyone was startled when they heard the sudden sound.

Because almost no one noticed that there was an extra person between them.

So, everyone turned their heads in the direction the sound came from, and when they saw the person's true face, their initial shock turned into relief.

Everyone: Who did we think it was? It's Wu Tong! No wonder!

The strongest being in the world, whose strength far surpasses theirs, would find it incredibly easy to remain undetected!

As everyone observed Wu Tong, Wu Tong himself looked at the two generations of Gods of Wisdom, whose minds seemed to have gone completely mad, with an indescribable expression:
Are these two really gods of wisdom? When they were discussing how to die, why didn't they think to ask him if there was any way to help them?

While inwardly complaining, Wu Tong couldn't help but feel a little fortunate that he arrived in time; otherwise, he might not have had either of the two generations of Grass God wives.

Although there are resurrection coins, it doesn't seem like a big deal if you don't have one.

But, well, how should I put it, emmm... it always gives people a feeling that's not quite right.

You could say that if he has no other way, then so be it. At most, he can just wait for the World Tree to be destroyed and then use a resurrection coin to bring the person back. Although the other person will definitely be depressed at that time (because the World Tree he was protecting is gone), as long as the person is alive, that's fine.

But the problem is, he has a way to solve this problem, right? If someone else dies because of it, then that would be a bit ridiculous...

“Mr. Wu Tong!” ×n.

Everyone bowed and greeted Wu Tong.

Everyone present felt deeply grateful and respectful towards Wu Tong, a powerful figure who was willing to accept and embrace the Teyvats.

Therefore, even though everyone present was a demon god or a powerful being with demon god combat strength, they were all willing to bow to Wu Tong.

This is not only gratitude, but also an expression of their respect.

"Alright, stop with this stuff. We don't do this here."

Wu Tong waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop behaving that way.

After saying that, Wu Tong turned to look at Nasida and Buyer, and asked with some curiosity, "Can you tell me what you're thinking? Why don't you ask me if I have any ideas first?"

Uh……

Upon hearing this, Buyer and Nasita exchanged a glance, then Buyer hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Because the World Tree is closely connected to the continent of Teyvat, we are unsure if you have the capability to relocate it. Furthermore, even if you could, we don't know if you would be willing to help us, so..."

"So you didn't even ask any questions before planning to sacrifice yourselves?"

Naxida, Buyer: nodding obediently.jpg.

"...Sigh~"

Seeing this, Wu Tong, weary, rubbed his forehead and sighed, saying:

"When Zhongli brought you here, didn't he tell you about my strength?"

These words stunned not only Nasida and Buyer, but also the others nearby, who then fell into deep thought.

After a short while, everyone snapped out of their reverie and shook their heads in unison.

Naxi Da explained in a low voice:

“Morax just told us that this world is controlled by his friends, and that you can accept us Teyvat people.”

"As for your strength, he didn't mention it much, only saying that you are very strong, and that was it."

"No wonder..."

Wu Tong suddenly realized why Naxi and Da were acting so desperately.

Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of perspective and knowledge:

Because Zhongli did not mention his strength, Buyer and the others were unaware of it.

Therefore, they mainly rely on guesswork to determine their own strength.

Limited by their own limited understanding, they guessed that Wu Tong was the strongest, probably no more than the invincible Tianli.

Even according to the laws of nature, it is impossible to move the World Tree and the ley lines, so they felt that Wu Tong could not possibly do it either, which led to this farcical and ridiculous situation.

But... perhaps this is a common flaw in intelligent people! They always like to think about these random things...

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Wu Tong shook his head and chuckled, saying, "No wonder you guys put on this farce, so that's how it is... It seems that Zhong Li has been getting lazier and lazier lately."

Having said that, Wu Tong ignored the subtle changes in the expressions of Li Yue and the others (Kun Jun and Gui Zhong in agreement, Xian Yun slightly dissatisfied, and Heuria awkwardly chuckling), and turned his gaze back to Buyer and Nashida, reassuring them:
