Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Unlike the strategist who would later become a master strategist.

At this moment, she was at a loss, just like an ordinary girl who suddenly had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and she was very careful about everything.

Mu Xian remembered that it was precisely because of the girl's appearance that he decided to cooperate with her to stop the Eye Hunt Order from being implemented.

Then I watched her grow step by step, and watched the resistance slowly become able to stand up to the shogunate's branch offices...

until...

A dark glint flashed in Mu Xian's eyes as he thought of some unpleasant things.

Mu Xian did not make the same choice as he remembered; he simply stared coldly at Xin Hai.

However, the cautious girl looked at Mu Xian as if she had heard him say something, and her expression turned happy.

"Lord Mu Xian... welcome to the Haiqi Island family!"

After that, Mu Xian watched as memories flooded back one after another, like an observer.

He watched as the living, divine priestess standing before him announced, amidst the skepticism of the crowd, that she had become the general of Haiqi Island.

And then he watched as he transformed a disorganized resistance fighter into an army...

Watching the sea of ​​emotions guide her step by step into becoming a fully-fledged, living, divine priestess...

All those efforts were simply because Mu Xian knew that the Shogunate army would eventually focus all its attention on the rebels.

Therefore, Mu Xian made many preparations at that time.

However, Mu Xian didn't use these preparations...

On the day the massive Shogunate army arrived, Xin Hai and the others made a decision behind Mu Xian's back...

Oh right... what did Mu Xian remember saying back then?

"Trust me? I can definitely keep the resistance safe..."

As for how Xin Hai answered...

This memory has already appeared before Mu Xian's eyes.

The well-prepared rebels and the shogunate army gathered in front of Nashii Beach, facing each other, but their attention was focused on the three people in the very center of the battlefield.

Xin Hai, Shen Zi, and Mu Xian.

"Lady Mu Xian... I am the living goddess priestess of Haiqi Island..."

"For the sake of the people of Haiqi Island, I cannot do something so risky just because of one person's sake..."

After saying this, she quickly handed Mu Xian over to Shen Zi.

Mu Xian no longer knows what she was thinking back then, but now she is able to calmly view what happened.

From Haiqi Island's perspective, Xin Hai did nothing wrong...

Faced with a choice between one person and an island full of people, she chose the option that required the least sacrifice.

However... Mu Xian was the one who sacrificed himself.

Looking at Xin Hai's reluctant expression, Mu Xian felt nauseous.

Once a choice has been made, there's no need to expect anything from the other side of that choice.

He drew the katana hanging at his waist; the katana now had several nicks and slits.

—Just like I remember...

Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion welled up in Mu Xian's chest, a feeling that sent a chill through him.

At this moment, Mu Xian seemed to feel the loneliness of being betrayed by everyone once again, as if he were facing the darkness alone.

A chill quickly spread throughout his body, making it difficult for Mu Xian to even breathe.

Before Mu Xian could react, a series of memories appeared in his mind.

Those were scenes of abandonment.

There were different people in front of me, but they all did the same thing.

As scenes from my memory flashed by one after another, the feeling in my heart gradually accumulated.

It's like returning to the sacred cherry tree before its death.

The Evil Eye can recall not only memories, but also Mu Xian's past emotions.

The projected image of Mu Xian closes his eyes, then clutches his chest, and finally slowly sits down.

He sat on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he were enduring something...

How long do you think you can hold out this time?

"Or rather... how many pieces could he shatter into this time?"

The doctor's voice echoed in the ears of the Great Tree King, causing the Great Tree King to look at the doctor.

She didn't answer the doctor's question directly. With her eyes lowered, she looked at the World Tree at her feet, waiting for something.

Chapter 212 Isolated and helpless

How long did the doctor feel dissatisfied with the so-called gods?

It's been so long, so long that the professor has almost forgotten.

but...

The doctor, however, remembered everything about gods, which only fueled his growing disgust for them...

The subject divides himself into different slices at different times.

The markers that distinguish different time periods were developed through different experiments.

A certain "blasphemous" experiment produced the strongest slice, which possessed power comparable to that of a god and the arrogance of a god.

The doctor, who came from the experiment of "analyzing humans," possessed the mediocrity that humans have, and was the "weakest" among all the slices.

But he also possesses a curiosity beyond that of humans, a curiosity that has enabled him to learn a great deal.

For example, the principle behind the Eye of God, or the construction of loops in the void...

Knowledge has enabled PhDs to create many things...

For example, consciousness projection...

For example, the Evil Eye, which controls powers of a higher order than elemental power...

Similarly, the doctor also saw many ridiculous things.

For example... the scholars of the Church of Christ acquired knowledge not from books, but by praying to the so-called god of wisdom.

Ironically, this foolish behavior gave rise to "wisdom".

People have gradually turned knowledge into currency, into something that can be traded...

It is said that the World Tree contains all the knowledge of the continent, but isn't it also a cage that imprisons knowledge?

The existence of the cage confines people to their old ways, and their only thought is to inherit the knowledge in the World Tree.

Perhaps this is what makes this doctor different from the other slices, and what makes the strongest slice wary.

After all, he was going to do something they dared not do—destroy the World Tree.

But destroying the World Tree always requires some planning.

For example, before destroying the World Tree, you need to defeat or even kill the god who guards it...

For example, before defeating the god of wisdom, one needs immense mental strength to counter the god's immense mental power...

For example, to acquire a vast amount of spiritual power, the Doctor needs to devour an entity with spiritual power equal to that of the God of Wisdom.

Initially, the doctor set his sights on artificial demons.

He collected many children and injected them with the remnants of the demon god and drugs to control the demon god, hoping to cultivate controllable artificial demon gods.

However, the doctor's prediction was somewhat wrong...

These children are more mentally fragile than we imagined...

After these experimental samples were repeatedly scrapped, a usable sample finally emerged.

The girl named "Colette".

However... due to a moment of carelessness, the sample escaped.

After years of searching, the doctor found the sample again.

But he discovered something even more suitable for devouring than the artificial demon god...

Looking at the Great Tree King with its eyes lowered, the doctor felt somewhat bored by her lack of resistance.

Looking at the person in the projection, he curled up and felt utterly alone and helpless.

Even the Dragon King, eroded by the passage of time, dared not be subjected to another round of erosion by forbidden knowledge.

Everything is going according to plan...

Everything was already destined...

"I heard the voice in your heart."

The Great Tree King's voice returned to its former calm. She raised her head, and beneath her hair, stained red by forbidden knowledge, her eyes remained as emerald green as ever.

"Isolated and helpless..."

"He's not entirely alone now..."

Upon hearing this, the doctor frowned, looking at the projection as if to confirm something.

But the projection was no longer what the doctor had seen before; a pure white tree appeared on the screen.

That's the World Tree; I don't know why these things appeared in the projection.

"The matter of life and death is a matter of following the natural order, but some things always defy common sense."

Aren't you surprised...?

"Why would the Hall of Resurrection in Liyue, which has followed the natural order of birth, aging, sickness, and death for thousands of years, defy common sense and revive the dead?"
