Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

She seemed unconcerned about the crowd behind her.

I just kept walking and walking, feeling everything here: the streets, the buildings, the people, and... the obvious tension that permeated the air at that moment.

Has the Grass God betrayed us?

Is the desert invading the rainforest?

Was it led by the Grass God himself?

Then look at the long banner with the big words "Welcome His Majesty the Emperor".

To be honest, the information is a bit messy, and a little... fantastical.

The translation is: Nasita, with her father, attacked the territory ruled by her mother... The Great Tree King wondered if he was still asleep, or if he had overdrawn his power? It should be fine now, after all, the World Tree's condition has been very stable for the past five hundred years.

But the emperor... Azir, he's clearly dead.

This is a fact I witnessed firsthand.

What's the matter?

In short, after walking halfway around the city, the Great Tree King finally climbed up the sacred tree and arrived at the magnificent Church.

At the entrance, a group of scholars rushed over upon hearing the news.

Although not all the sages were killed, the one who survived (there are two in the game, and the other one is the protagonist) became disillusioned with the impending brutal rule of the emperor and withdrew from worldly affairs, which led to the current extremely awkward situation of the Faith Council, to the point that he had to step in as a scribe to take charge of the situation.

"You are..." The gray-haired, somewhat frail-looking, muscular but handsome young man, Elhesen, narrowed his eyes upon seeing the woman. "You are... Lord Great Tree King?"

The Great Compassion Tree King was slightly surprised: "There are people who recognize me."

"Is it really you?" Even Al-Hysen himself was somewhat incredulous. Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I have seen your true face in ancient paintings and read about your beauty and nobility in books, but I never thought I would see you in person."

wow~

The surrounding crowd looked on in astonishment.

"It's...it's Lord Great Kindness Tree King?!"

Almost no one could believe what they were seeing.

OMG!

Has the Great Tree King really appeared?

The Grass God rebelled and attacked the Rainforest, the Emperor descended, and the Great Tree King appeared... This series of events made the people of Sumeru City feel like they were still half asleep.

But even in their dreams, seeing the majestic King of the Great Tree of Compassion, nothing could make them happier at this moment.

So everyone knelt down in worship.

"Great King of the Tree of Compassion, you have finally returned!"

"Save Mount Sumeru, save your people!"

The Great Tree King looked around and told Elhesen, who was still trying to stay rational, to get up and tell her what had happened.

This scribe clearly possessed a level of rationality and composure far beyond that of ordinary people. He recovered from the shock of the Tree King's return and then rationally recounted what had happened.

The Great Sage, along with three other sages, overstepped their bounds. The Fools were also involved in the plot. The reason for the sudden conflict remains unknown. Later investigations revealed that the Desert Death God was none other than Nasus, who had been with the Grass God for many years. As a result, a conspiracy theory arose within the Church that "the desert forces had been lurking for a long time, brainwashing the Grass God for over four hundred years."

In the end, the emperor killed several sages and left, and the little grass god followed him away, leaving behind a huge mess in Sumeru.

"Since the last sage, Hein, has not yet returned, I, as the scribe, am temporarily assuming the duties of the sage," Elhesen explained at the end, explaining the reason for his appearance.

"How could such a thing have happened?"

As the Great Tree King was surprised, her power was quietly released, communicating with the Sacred Tree. Then the will of the Sacred Tree told her that the Great Emperor had indeed returned.

Azir is back!

In an instant, all the confusion caused by sleeping for too long disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of surprise.

The divine radiance emanates naturally.

Seeing this, the people's eyes were filled with even greater reverence. They looked at the Great Tree King and thought that this was the wise ruler they should worship... Tree King, please lead us to deliver a fatal counterattack to the desert!

Just as everyone was in high spirits, the sky was suddenly enveloped by an immense will.

Rumble~~~

The projection of the yellow sand descended upon the city of Sumeru, emitting a dazzling golden light that was sacred, majestic, and irresistible.

The Desert Emperor is coming!

At that moment, the people of Sumeru City felt a chill run down their spines.

Has the emperor's rule already begun?

This time is different; this time they have the Great Tree King!

The crowd raised their heads, looking at their king with anticipation.

However, their king paid no heed.

"I smell a familiar scent..."

Without turning around, the Great Compassion Tree King could sense that the person who had arrived was none other than her beloved.

A happy smile spread across her lips, the joy overflowing in her heart was irrepressible. At this moment, sensing the Tree King's feelings, the forest cheered, the vegetation began to grow wildly, the Lanarans sang loudly in the forest, and the breeze swept through Sumeru City, causing the branches of the sacred tree to sway joyfully.

"I reached the center of the world, but I couldn't find you. Then the eyes of the forest told me that you had come here," said the figure in the sky.

The Great Tree King turned around and said softly, "That was a little joke played by fate, Azir. While I was asleep, I longed for you day and night, for your face, your breath, everything about you... And so, fate has given me a great blessing, allowing me to embrace you once again."

Having said that, the Great Compassion Tree King disregarded everything, transformed into a beam of light, and flew into the air, entering His Majesty the Emperor's embrace.

“Buyer, I have also missed you terribly... Now, let’s go home.”

When the yellow sand settled and the sky cleared again, the people of Sumeru City remained dumbfounded, still deeply shocked.

...

Narimaj!

Deep within the palace courtyard.

A heartwarming reunion is unfolding.

The Great Compassion Tree King held Su Chen tightly, greedily inhaling his scent. In the countless days and nights of slumber, every time her consciousness awoke from the chaos, she would deeply miss her beloved.

He thought it would be the final farewell, and that the so-called promises were nothing more than words of comfort. But the Great Compassion Tree King never expected that Su Chen would actually come back.

Su Chen also closed his eyes at this moment, intoxicated by the Tree King's gentleness.

Only Nasita stood to the side, raising her cute little head to look.

Um...

Um...

While I'm truly happy to see my father and mother reunited, please... have some consideration for my feelings too! I've been standing here for half an hour, can't you really see me?!

"Azir, I have missed you countless times." The Great Tree King said softly with his eyes closed, a smile playing on his lips.

"Me too... but you really should have told me sooner."

"what?"

"That's the good news."

The Great Tree King opened her eyes and remembered what Su Chen had said. She let go of Su Chen, turned her head and saw Naxida who had been watching them, and then laughed: "Oh dear~ I almost forgot."

Naxi Da: "o(╥﹏╥)o"

You might as well not say anything.

Dear Mother, am I really your biological child?

"Come, Naxida, call me Father." The Great Tree King took Naxida's hand and said with a smile.

Su Chen chuckled: "I've already called him."

The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head: "That's different."

How can they be the same? This is a formal reunion for the three of them.

Naxi Da replied obediently, "Father."

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

How can this scene be described? At that moment, he didn't think about anything else, only about protecting the person in front of him no matter what.

The three then chatted for a long time in the courtyard, recounting what had happened during this period and Narcida's experiences over the past five hundred years. The Great Tree King was very grateful that Narcida had Narcida by his side.

She held Nasita in her arms with a look of heartache on her face.

"My poor child, you've suffered so much all these years."

Nasida shook her head and smiled sweetly, "It's not hard work, my teacher helped me a lot."

“We should reward Nasus,” suggested the Great Tree King.

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "I've already arranged that. There's a gift that I think he'll like."

Nasus is indeed an all-around talent; with him around, Su Chen can rest easy.

Speaking of which, he should take some time to rescue Renekton, who is sealed in the Pillar Sands due to a taboo. He has wanted to go there several times, but each time he has been delayed by other matters.

With the Ascension Ceremony about to begin, how could Renekton be absent from the five ancient Ascended?

"Speaking of which, where is Marikata?" asked the Great Tree King.

Su Chen said, "She has some business to attend to these days and has returned to Moon Maiden City."

"That's it..."

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Su Chen and winked.

Nasita looked at the Father God and then at the Tree King, as if she understood something, and suddenly said, "Father, Mother, you two talk, the teacher needs to speak with me."

After saying that, she jumped down from the embrace of the Great Tree King and ran out of the yard with a thud.

Su Chen watched her leave, then turned around and met the bright eyes of the Great Compassion Tree King, whose eyes were filled with boundless tenderness.

Her fair and delicate face was so close to his, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"Azir."
