Chapter 167 Nasita: A Final Farewell? Funina: I've Come to Save the Great Tree King and Revive it!

With a flash of green light, Nasita and Funina arrived at the giant branches, which were even larger than mountains.

At the same time, a strange red sky also appeared.

All of this led Frynn to quickly confirm that she had indeed arrived at the World Tree with Narcida—the mysterious tree on the continent of Teyvat, which recorded all memories and information.

If all goes as expected, the Great Tree King should be just ahead.

Waiting to be deleted along with forbidden knowledge...

As Funina pondered this, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she then asked Nasita, "Is this where the World Tree is having problems?"

“According to Nasita’s perception, the problem lies just ahead.”

Nasita pointed ahead, then froze, for she saw herself, or more accurately… herself, exuding a mature aura and with pointed ears.

More importantly, Nasita felt a strange sense of familiarity and closeness upon seeing this figure.

It felt as close as if they were family.

What on earth is going on? Is she the future Nasita?
No, that's not right...

Nasita shook her head violently, then raised her delicate white hand to pat her face to clear her mind. She then thought of a possibility and cautiously asked into the distance, "Are you... the Great Tree King?"

In the distance, the Great Tree King, resting with its eyes closed against the World Tree, heard the sound. It opened its eyes, looked at Nasita, and a gentle expression appeared in its eyes. It nodded softly.
"It's me, Naxida!"

Nasita stared blankly at the Great Tree King, and asked in a puzzled voice, "And why do you look so much like Nasita? It's as if you are..."

The Great Tree King smiled gently: "Because our essence is the same, we also manifest the same appearance."

Nasita: "Why... are they essentially the same?"

The Great Compassion Tree King: "Because you are me, and I am you...you are my reincarnation."

Naxida: "Reincarnation?"

The Great Compassion Tree King: "As the Great Compassion Tree King, I am the incarnation of the World Tree, and you are the purest branch broken off from the World Tree."

"It's like...when a tree dies, its branches will one day take root and grow, continuing life in another form."

"The me before you is merely a wisp of consciousness left behind by the Great Tree King; the real me must already be..."

"Judging from your current appearance, I have probably been dead for several decades."

"However, you have finally come, me after reincarnation!"

Nasita: "If that's the case, does that mean... one day I will become a god as great as you?"

"Although we are essentially the same, our destinies are bound to be different. Everything has its own destiny, just like a branch that grows into a new tree can never be exactly the same as the original one."

"And that's why you will never be me again..."

"But you may become a god even greater than me."

Nasita looked dejected upon hearing this.

The reason is simple: she feels that since birth, she has never accomplished anything and has always been imprisoned. Even her escape from the Pure Palace was not due to her own strength, but to the power of the Flower Knight, Funina.

The Great Tree King noticed this, smiled faintly, raised his hand and placed it on an ordinary spot, and said, "Don't worry, the growth of wisdom is just like that of plants. You just need to wait quietly for the flowers to bloom."

Nasita: "The Flower Knight, Funina, also said something similar to what the Great Tree King said."

The Great Tree King's gaze focused on the heterochromatic-eyed girl dressed in a formal gown:

"Flower Knight - Frinina?"

"A demon god? Ruling a country? No, he doesn't have the aura of a god's throne, but he possesses something far more special..."

Nasita spoke up: "She is the current ruler of the Kingdom of Fontaine, the Great Tree King... The reason I was able to obtain the Heart of God and come to the World Tree to see you this time is all thanks to her help!"

"If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you again for a hundred or even several hundred years."

After much thought, the Great Tree King finally performed the most profound bow of gratitude to Funina: "Thank you, Flower Knight Funina, for helping me meet with Nasita."

Funina waved her hand: "It's alright. I'm sure you two have a lot more to say than this."

"Hmm." The Great Tree King nodded, then focused his gaze on Nasita again, saying, "From the moment I broke off a branch from the World Tree and created you, I have always looked forward to having a conversation with you like this."

Nasida nodded vigorously to indicate that she felt the same way, then she thought of something crucial:
"Can you tell me... about why I was created? And what exactly happened when you died?"

"Yes, I know you've come here seeking answers and want to explore the root of the World Tree's role in the catastrophe."

The Great Compassion Tree King raised its hand, placed it on an ordinary spot, and then began to speak:

In the Cataclysmic Land of Kanria, most of the Seven Gods and the ruling class were summoned there!

She, the Great Tree King, is tasked with an even more important mission: protecting the World Tree!

Crucially, the disaster occurred alongside the contamination of forbidden knowledge, and at almost the same moment, I, whose consciousness was connected to the World Tree, also sensed something amiss.

The mental anguish began to torment me, and by the time I reached the World Tree, it was already being eroded by forbidden knowledge.

If it weren't for the fact that a thousand years ago, I worked with the Crimson King to quell the pollution of forbidden knowledge, I would probably have been completely helpless at that time.

Nasita: "Forbidden knowledge... what exactly is it?"

"It is knowledge that does not belong to this world, and it is an unknowable truth. It comes from the bottom of the abyss, and even I cannot understand it."

The Great Compassion Tree King: "The world is constantly rejecting it, but this has caused all sorts of bad symptoms in the world."

"If forbidden knowledge is allowed to pollute the World Tree, the entire Teyvat will fall apart."

"At that time, I knew that I could not expel forbidden knowledge on my own."

"So I created a device that integrates human wisdom and named it the Void."

Nasita: "That is truly the most remarkable invention in the world."

The Great Tree King smiled slightly: "For a long time, I have believed that dreams are the crystallization of human wisdom."

"Although it was somewhat selfish to do this, I still used the void to borrow people's dreams, integrated their wisdom, and contributed all my power to remove almost all forbidden knowledge from the World Tree."

"But... things didn't go as smoothly as I thought. A headache gave me a bad feeling."

"I just remembered that I am the incarnation of the World Tree and am connected to it. The World Tree has given me knowledge and wisdom, but pollution has also come to me."

“From the very beginning… my existence was already tainted by forbidden knowledge.”

Nasita: "I have felt that kind of mental anguish from you..."

The Great Tree King shook slightly: "Well, compared to that, my feelings are not important. What is important is... even if I die."

"My existence, and everything related to me, will still be preserved in the World Tree as memories and knowledge, so forbidden knowledge can never be eradicated."

"And I... can never erase myself; it's a paradox. "So, I broke off the purest branch of the World Tree as my reincarnation, leaving behind clues... just so you could come here and completely erase my corrupted self from the World Tree..."

Upon hearing this, Nasita realized something and anxiously ran to the Great Tree King, clenching her fists and saying, "Wait, no... no... this is not right."

The Great Tree King chuckled and said, "You understand what it means now? It seems you are indeed very clever."

"Just as you think, the World Tree contains all the knowledge and memories of this world. If I were to be erased from the World Tree... it would be as if I had never existed in this world at all."

"But this is the only way to save the World Tree."

Upon hearing this, Nasida grew even more anxious: "People loved you so much, everyone still misses you, I... I... how can I just forget you like this?!"

"Is there really no other way?"
"Is there nothing else I can do?"

The Great Tree King said, "You are the god of wisdom, Buyer, you should know that there is no other way!"

Nasita sobbed, "But...but...this is too cruel, I don't want to forget you."

The Great Tree King: "Don't be so sad, Buyer. As a wise man, you should be enjoying the joy of finding the answer to where the World Tree went wrong."

"Woooo..."

A sobbing sound came from Naxi Da's mouth.

The atmosphere turned somber at that moment, and the branches and leaves of the World Tree fell, as if grieving for the impending departure of the first generation of rulers.

Just then, Funina spoke up: "You two, stop saying there's nothing we can do. Nasita, have you forgotten about me, the Flower Knight?"

? !
Upon hearing this, Nasita looked at Funina with teary eyes.

The consciousness, or rather the soul, of the Great Tree King beside her also looked at Funina, pausing the farewell words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Frinina, Flower Knight, do you have a way? If you do, please do everything you can to save the Great Tree King!"

At this moment, in order to prevent her mother, the Great Tree King, from being completely erased from the Teyvat world, Narshida no longer cared about gods or the dignity of ruling a nation.

Anyway, she didn't have any.

In short, Nasita, the green badminton shuttlecock, clung to Funina's leg at that moment, gazing at Funina with teary eyes.

Fu Ningna said confidently, patting the unremarkable spot, "I have a general idea of ​​how to save the Great Tree King and even stop the World Tree from being polluted by forbidden knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Naxida couldn't help but express her gratitude:
"Thank you!"

Meanwhile, the Great Tree King fell silent.

The reason is simple... she is the embodiment of the World Tree. Even though she is now only a thought and a soul, she can still see Funina's identity from the World Tree's memories.

Although he is the ruler of a country, he is just pretending... The real ruler is Fukaros outside, and the power of the divine throne is also in Fukaros.

Can Funina, a mere mortal, truly save herself and prevent the World Tree from being corrupted again?

Difficult, too difficult...

Ugh!
The Great Tree King sighed inwardly, but did not stop it, after all, this was the Flower Knight who had saved his daughter, and the sentiment of his daughter Narcida.

Just then, Funina reached out and pulled Nasita, who was crying and clinging to her leg, to her feet. Then she looked up at the Great Tree King and said, "Now is the time to save you, to save the World Tree. Show us the way, Great Tree King."

Tell me, where did you place your true body on the World Tree?

Although the Great Tree King still didn't believe that Funina could save her and keep the World Tree from being corrupted, she couldn't help but point her finger to indicate the direction when she saw her daughter Nasita crying and Funina's confident gaze.

"it is good."

Funina began to move, heading towards the core of the World Tree, where its canopy was located.

Because Funina herself had undergone multiple soul synchronizations in the Chaos Hall, Funina's physical attributes were at their peak, especially after her last synchronization with Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea.

Within her slender, delicate, and fair body, the power of a dragon had already been acquired.

Climbing the World Tree is a piece of cake, an easy task.

With a few leaps, they reached the canopy, the area closest to the crimson sky. There, Funina and Nasita found the Great Tree King lying on the ground, pale-faced and with its eyes closed.

The true appearance of the Great Tree King is not exactly the same as that of Nasita, which is barren.

Rather, it is an enlarged version of Nasita, embodying a magnanimous spirit.

More importantly, compared to Nasita, the little auspicious grass king, it possesses a more mature and sacred aura.

Her looks are also top-notch, just like Sleeping Beauty.

No… I should say Sleeping Beauty.

Nasita looked at the body of the Great Tree King, a pained expression on her face: "The soul within the body is gone, the Great Tree King is already..."

Who says the soul doesn't exist?

Funina, who had been risking Narcida's life, spoke up at this moment: "If the Great Tree King is really gone, was the one who just gave us directions and talked to us a ghost?"
"The soul of the Great Tree King has always been there. After all, she is the incarnation of the World Tree. The World Tree is still alive and well, so she is naturally safe and sound as well."

"The reason she appeared as a sleeping beauty, with her soul not in her body... in the state of death, was because she was suppressing forbidden knowledge within her!"

"So now, it's my turn to make a move!"

Funina placed Nasita on the tree canopy, then strode toward the Great Tree King.

At that moment, Nasita wiped away her tears, clasped her hands together, and revealed an expectant expression:

Funina!
Flower Knight!

She saved me, saved me from being imprisoned in the Church for decades!
Now that she says she has a way to save the Great Compassion Tree King, she must have a way!
Wait... Flower Knight, what are you doing?!

Why are you bowing your head?!
I found it! I found it!!!
Yeah!

Nasita changed the position of her hands, spread her fingers, and covered her eyes.

Then, Narcida discovered something that greatly surprised her: the Great Tree King's face was visibly becoming rosy. Was it recovering? Was the Flower Knight, Funina's, healing really effective?!

Very good!
Nasita's heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, the spirit and consciousness of the Great Tree King appeared... her face filled with helplessness and shame... She never expected that what she and the Flower Goddess hadn't done would be done by Funina...

Doing that kind of thing makes it impossible to suppress or expel forbidden knowledge!

Of those present, only Nasita and Bouyel would likely be deceived by Funina...

As the Great Tree King pondered this, he turned to look at Nasita and, sure enough, saw surprise, bewilderment, and a hint of cheering in her eyes.

Indeed, Nasita is still too immature...

Ugh!
After sighing and rubbing his forehead, the soul of the Great Tree King suddenly sensed something and froze, staring at Funina, who was touching him, with an incredulous expression.
