He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Although Gan Yu also wanted to go, she hesitated when she thought about her identity and her contract with the Emperor.

Helpless, Gan Yu could only bid a reluctant farewell to Wu Di.

However, Wu Di assured her that he would be back soon and would stay in Liyue for a long time, never leaving again.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu's inner turmoil vanished, replaced by a faint smile.

Sometimes, a small expectation is enough to keep a person going.

Incidentally, Wu Di also went to see the two slackers and told them about his current plans.

After listening, Zhongli, one of the seven gods, shared his thoughts, stating that the gathering of the seven gods had not taken place for a long time.

However, he did know some things about the Great Compassion Tree King and the Little Lucky Grass King.

During the Calamity of Kanria 500 years ago, the Great Tree King did her best to suppress the power from the abyss, but she herself disappeared because she exhausted her power.

Then the Faith Council brought Buyer back to Sumeru and named him "Little Auspicious Grass King".

As for whether the Little Lucky Grass King has been imprisoned, Zhongli thinks it's highly likely.

The reason Zhongli told Wu Di about the World Tree was mainly because the person next to him felt that it wouldn't matter whether he said it or not.

Upon hearing this, Wu Di thanked Zhong Li for informing him and began to think about the sentence he had heard at the World Tree.

Let the world completely forget me...

He began to wonder if the owner of the voice was the Great Compassion Tree King who had sacrificed himself.

However, I do not have any evidence, so this matter is still under discussion.

After saying goodbye to the duo, Wu Di headed outside Liyue Harbor, got onto Jelly's body, and then flew leisurely towards Sumeru.

However, when he left, Zhongli gave him a peculiar stone, which still carried his scent.

He said that he could use the stone as a token and see if he would need it when he met the Grass God.

Incidentally, the girls are currently inside the Dust Song Pot, because everyone has been satisfied during this Lantern Festival.

I felt like I had entered a state of post-coital bliss, and then a group of people stayed in the room chatting or playing games, leaving only Wu Di and his three friends.

Well, although Wu Di was a little unaccustomed to traveling alone after a long time, he felt more relaxed.

Although I don't know why, I just feel very relaxed, like I have my own little world.

The journey to Sumeru takes quite a while; even at Jelly's current speed, it would still take several hours, which is already considered fast.

However, this leisurely time allowed Wu Di to think freely.

For example, was the female voice on the World Tree left behind by the Great Tree King? And why was the Little Lucky Grass King imprisoned by the Order Institute?

Isn't Little Lucky Grass King a god? Even if he's a newly born god, surely he has the means to resist?

Wu Di was a little confused about this, but he wouldn't refuse to help if needed.

"..."

——Huachengguo

As time passed, Wu Di eventually gave up thinking. His mind was blank, and he couldn't come up with a solution even after several hours.

However, his attention was immediately drawn to the lush forest in front of him. Everywhere he looked was green, and it seemed full of vitality.

Especially when viewed from above, the forest is a feast for the eyes, instantly lifting one's spirits.

Unconsciously, he slowed the jelly's flight so he could observe the creatures in the forest.

But what is that mushroom-head-like creature?

Before Wu Di could observe carefully, he suddenly sensed an ominous aura emanating from a place.

There's something bad.

This made Wu Di realize this, and the aura was very similar to what he had felt in Mondstadt; these evil things were draining his life force.

He quickly sent the jelly flying down, letting it carry him to the place that exuded an ominous aura.

Once on the ground, Wu Di looked at the withering forest before him, the trees exuding a stench of decay.

The mushroom heads that were walking back and forth inside were the same; they seemed to be under control, unable to leave, and their life force was being constantly drained.

This allowed Wu Di to sense a violent aura emanating from them, making him feel that if they discovered an enemy, they would attack the enemy like madmen.

At this moment, Wu Di had a bad feeling: what if this bad phenomenon wasn't limited to this place?

Then, relying on the power of the wind, I sensed the current state of the entire Sumeru.

It was discovered that this bad phenomenon was widespread, and its numbers completely permeated the entire Sumeru.

In Wu Di's view, at this moment, Sumeru is like a patient with a serious illness, but the most important point is that these bad things are only on the surface.

Its true "lesion" is still buried deep within Mount Sumeru, or rather, deep within the World Tree.

Therefore, even if you deal with the bad stuff in front of you, it only quenches your thirst temporarily and does not affect the real "lesion".

However, since he was already there, Wu Di felt he couldn't ignore it, so he decided to deal with the bad things in front of him and then head to Sumeru City to try to find the Little Auspicious Grass King.

If she is indeed imprisoned, then rescue her, then go to the World Tree through her, deal with those "bad things," and then you can return to Liyue.

Without further ado, just as Wu Di was about to go and deal with the bad thing in front of him, a soft voice sounded from a distance behind him.

"It's dangerous over there! Please don't go!"

The sound made Wu Di stop in his tracks and turn around. In the distance, a figure in emerald green was rushing toward them.

She is a young girl.

Moreover, judging from her anxious expression and her fear of the bad things behind her, Wu Di felt that this person should be a local.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wu Di stop, and quickly came to him.

"Hello, I am Ke Lai, a trainee forest ranger in Daocheng Forest."

"I called out to you earlier because there was a 'dead zone' ahead. If you were an ordinary person without the Eye of God, you could easily get injured, or even suffer unpredictable consequences."

"By the way, I'm sorry if I accidentally startled you just now."

Chapter 180 Do you believe it?

The girl's voice was very fast, but her pronunciation was very clear, making it easy for people to understand.

So this kind of evil thing is called "Dead Zone" in Sumeru.

Thinking this way, but not neglecting the girl, Wu Di immediately responded in a friendly manner.

"Thank you for reminding me. My name is Wu Di, and I am a traveler from Liyue, so I am not very clear about the situation in Sumeru."

"However, I am the owner of the Eye of God, and I'm sorry to have worried you."

To prove his point, Wu Di took out his Geo-attribute Vision and showed it to the girl named Kolei.

"I understand, but for your safety, please stay away from the 'Death Prison'. I will proceed with the cleanup."

"If you need to take this route, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Cole gave a slight smile, showing her enthusiasm and initiative.

Wu Di did not refuse, after all, it was better to leave such matters to the locals who could handle them, although he also wanted to help.

However, his attention was drawn to the girl in front of him. He could sense the same aura emanating from her as he had felt in his dream.

"Excuse me, is there anything strange on me?"

Kolai, who was originally planning to set off to deal with the "Dead Zone", suddenly felt that a person wearing a fox mask was looking at him.

That gaze was strange; it seemed to be constantly wandering over me, but I didn't sense the slightest malice or ill intent.

It was simply something about himself that attracted his attention.

Faced with Ke Lai's question, Wu Di did not change the subject or simply not answer; instead, he spoke up directly.

“I can feel that something is wrong with your body; something is eroding you.”

Am I right?

Cole wasn't offended by the man's frankness; on the contrary, she was more curious about how he knew, since patients with "Demon Scales" were no different from ordinary people before an attack.

Moreover, as a patient with "Demon Scales," Cole knew this well. As for her appearance, she felt that she had completely concealed herself and that it was impossible for anyone to see her.

Then there is only one thing that can be confirmed: this is a healer from Liyue, and his medical skills are extremely high. He can sense that something is wrong with me just by looking at him.

Is this the medical skill of Liyue? It's truly amazing.

Ke Lai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, so much so that she paused for a moment and didn't respond to Wu Di's question.

"Hello?"

"Ah! Sorry, I was daydreaming. I'm so sorry."

"You're right. The thing that's eroding me is called 'Demon Scale Disease,' which is unique to Sumeru and can be considered a one-of-a-kind 'disease.'"

Since she began to believe that the person in front of her was a highly skilled doctor, Cole's tone also became more respectful.

She respected those who possessed medical knowledge, just as she respected her mentor.

Although he didn't understand why the girl in front of him was suddenly so respectful, he had received an answer to his question.

Wu Di couldn't help but become curious, wondering if the "Dead Zone" was the cause of the girl's "Demon Scale Disease".

Therefore, he wanted to give it a try, because he could sense that he was able to control the "Demon Scale Disease" on the girl in front of him, as well as the "Dead Zone" on the other side.

However, the prerequisite was to gain the trust of the girl in front of him. Wu Di glanced around and then looked back in the direction of the "Dead Zone".

Have it.

If we can easily deal with "Death Prison" in front of Cole, we should be able to gain her trust.

Having figured things out, Wu Di spoke to the girl in front of him.

"If I told you I could cure your 'Demon Scale Disease,' would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Lai was taken aback, because these words were like a childhood nightmare that had always haunted her, and hearing them again now deeply stung her nerves.

Without hesitation, he took a few steps back, drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Wu Di in front of him, his face filled with undisguised anger, displaying a strong sense of aggression.

The reason the girl was so agitated was because those words had already caused her a lot of trouble during her childhood.
