The appearance of walnuts made Mu Xian raise his hand to look at the bracelet on his wrist.

The bracelet remained dull and lifeless.

so...

"How did you come?"

Mu Xian asked a question, then realized that he was lying in a somewhat ambiguous position.

Without making a sound, Mu Xian got up from Hu Tao's lap and touched the back of his head.

Looking around, I realized I was standing under the roots of the World Tree.

Besides the walnut tree, there is also a giant tree king whose body appears and disappears intermittently.

Having just used some of her strength, she seemed too weak to speak, only smiling at Mu Xian.

At that moment, Hu Tao's voice came from behind.

"Hu Tao gave Brother Mu Xian a new, exclusive nickname, so she couldn't wait to come over."

"Brother Mu Xian... what do you think of... Big Wood?"

Chapter 200 The Powerful and the Common People

Hu Tao's expectant tone and eyes made Mu Xian look away; this form of address had the same simple and unadorned characteristics as a limerick.

The quirky figure soon reappeared in front of Mu Xian, seemingly wanting an answer from him.

But clearly, Mu Xian didn't know how to praise the so-called "simplicity" and "unpretentiousness".

In her dilemma, she seemed to understand and looked away from Mu Xian's gaze.

She looked away and sighed deeply, gazing intently into the distance.

"I just never imagined that so many things would happen while I was thinking of a special nickname for myself."

"Even the big log was almost stolen..."

With her hands behind her back, she seemed to be making a "weathered" gesture, but the gesture looked particularly out of place with her appearance.

Brown hair swayed beneath the hat, and those bright eyes looked at Mu Xian again.

"Big Wood... are you alright without Walnut's protection?"

Mu Xian sensed the concern in Hu Tao's words, and this concern made Mu Xian turn his head away again.

"sorry."

At first, Hu Tao smiled at Mu Xian.

But upon hearing this, Hu Tao was suddenly stunned.

She knew perfectly well why Mu Xian had apologized to her.

"But...it's okay..."

"That was Walnut's own choice."

She wanted to walk up to Mu Xian, but the pull of reality made her realize that Lingfenxiang was no longer enough.

Taking a small step forward only intensified the pull of reality.

Mu Xian sensed the strangeness in the walnut; the intermittent voice was exactly the same as that of the Great Compassion Tree King.

However, there are some differences.

The Great Compassion Tree King overdraws its power to repair the World Tree.

Walnut represents consciousness that is about to leave the World Tree.

Hu Tao's words prompted Mu Xian to walk up to her and speak with his head down.

"Don't worry, I will snatch that part of your soul back from the Doctor."

Hu Tao didn't answer, staring blankly at Mu Xian. At the last moment, she finally realized that she was not the same as before.

Thinking of this, Hu Tao smiled again.

"Well then... Walnut will wait and see..."

Hu Tao's figure disappeared from Mu Xian's sight, prompting Mu Xian to look at the bracelet in his hand.

After only a few seconds, Mu Xian quickly took his right hand, which was wearing the bracelet, off.

Mu Xian, who had just put down the bracelet, looked at the Great Compassion Tree King, only to find that she was already walking towards him.

"Having lived a second life, you've discovered many things you didn't notice before, haven't you?"

Mu Xian did not answer, but kept looking up at the World Tree above her head.

But a screen appeared in front of Mu Xian, and a golden light flashed across the screen.

Upon seeing the screen, Mu Xian couldn't help but look at the Great Compassion Tree King, only to find that she was still smiling at him.

"This happened after you left the Abyss of Layered Rocks."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xian quickly looked away.

More than curiosity, Mu Xian didn't want seeing them to ruin her mood.

"I think you should take a look."

As if he had guessed Mu Xian's thoughts, the Great Compassion Tree King continued to speak.

"Although I don't agree with what those Liyue Seven Stars did..."

"But that doesn't mean she's a cold-blooded person..."

In the scene, as Mu Xian disappears into the earth's veins, Tian Quan, dressed in magnificent attire, slowly collapses to the ground, completely unconcerned about the bloodstains on his face...

The words of the Great Compassion Tree King did not elicit a strong reaction from Mu Xian.

He looked at the Great Tree King, wondering why she was defending Ningguang.

It should be noted that the reason why the Great Tree King is in such a weak state is 40% due to the condensation of light.

The images on the screen are still changing.

Ningguang, who had been lying limp on the ground, finally came to her senses and joined forces with Yelan to attack the rich man.

The disheveled rich man had no choice but to flee, while the two remaining in the abyss watched as the white lights gradually disappeared into the surroundings.

Soon, the people from Qunyu Pavilion arrived.

Ye Lan wanted to pull Ning Guang back to Qunyu Pavilion, but Ning Guang stood still and did not move.

She stared intently at the entrance to the ley lines, and finally rushed in when no one was paying attention.

—They rushed in?!

—In other words...

Mu Xian looked away from the screen and around, and sure enough, he spotted a persistent figure in the distance.

The figure was searching for something aimlessly, and when Mu Xian's gaze fell upon it, it caught her attention.

Looking back, the bewildered figure quickly turned joyful.

However, unlike that figure, Mu Xian shifted his gaze from the figure to the Great Compassion Tree King, his expression clearly showing some displeasure.

"Did you bring her here?"

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

"Temporarily transfer her consciousness from Liyue to Sumeru..."

"Even the giant abyss of layered rocks, which is not far from Mount Sumeru, took some effort."

Mu Xian wanted to say something more, but the Great Compassion Tree King spoke up next.

"You seem to be running away from something."

"For humans, escape may be the best option, but..."

At this point, the Great Compassion Tree King changed the subject and continued speaking.

"Since you're about to delete your history, you should at least try to put an end to some things."

As the voice faded, the Great Tree King looked at the figure approaching from afar.

"She and you are both consciousness entities; the death of consciousness doesn't mean true death, but..."

"They'd probably go crazy."

The Great Tree King's voice was no longer its usual gentle voice; it sounded exceptionally serious.

This seriousness made Mu Xian look towards the Great Compassion Tree King, only to see her figure gradually disappear.

"After this, I'll leave the space to the two of you..."

Ningguang quickly appeared in front of Mu Xian.

Overjoyed at having found him again, she tried to hug Mu Xian, but the same sharp blade blocked her way.

Seeing this, Ningguang was not surprised and gave Mu Xian a gentle smile.

She guessed that after that incident, Mu Xian would despise her, and Mu Xian would not want her to get close to him again...

—But what does it matter...?

Ningguang reached out and gripped the raised blade tightly, as if to make Mu Xian feel the determination in her heart.

However, Mu Xian did not share her patience.

Without uttering a word, he swept his hand across the room, freeing himself from Ningguang's restraints.

Seeing this, Ningguang wanted to take a step forward, but Mu Xian's voice came from behind.

"Just stand there."

As he spoke, Mu Xian planted the Unspeakable Kindness into the roots of the World Tree.

Perhaps as revenge against the Great Compassion Tree King, Mu Xian inserted the remaining half of the sword, which was meant to be benevolent, into the tree roots.

"Our current relationship isn't suitable for the two of us to get that close."
