The Golden Tree Standing Tall in the World of Teyvat

Chapter 148 I Will Follow the Footsteps of the Stars

Ying really wants Liusu to help save her previous world, even if that world has been destroyed.

As long as Liusu takes action, that world should be revived again, right? Although the familiar people are gone, civilization can still continue, just like passing on the fire. The "Original God" produced by Liusu and the will of the Cinder King can all show that Liusu knows this.

However, Liusu's current situation makes Ying feel troubled. A life in a higher dimension is not something she can ask for, and the other party was thrown into this world by a certain will, so he must be full of resentment. Ying certainly doesn't want to touch this bad luck.

And taking a step back, Liusu told her all her secrets, and Ying would not let this response down.

Liusu looked at Ying's tangled face, and said, "Ask if you have any questions. I'm still waiting to go fishing."

Ying came back to her senses and continued to ask, "There is another question. When I was drawing ema at a festival with Kamisato Ayaka and Nashida last time, Nashida drew two you, one representing the sun and the other representing the stars. But Nashida and I can feel that the stars are you, but before in the Golden Apple Islands, Nashida said that you are the sun."

"In your opinion, what is the sun? What are the stars?" Liusu asked back.

"I think the stars include the sun, and the sun is just one of the many stars. What makes me strange is that Paimon and Nashida think that the stars are stars and the sun is the sun. How do you think it?" Ying replied.

"You are right. The sun is a member of the stars, and the stars include the sun. It's just that those other suns are too far away from us, so we can only see a little bit." Liusu explained.

Ying frowned and said, "But the stars in Teyvat are not understood in this way. Before, in Mondstadt, there were stars falling. These so-called stars are just some stones, which is completely different from what I thought."

"Teyvat is not a complete world. I don't know how many times I have said this. There is no concept of the universe here. There is only a false starry sky background. The road to the sky is blocked by the Sky Island, and the road to the ground is also blocked by the ground veins."

"According to what you said, what is the world outside Teyvat? The starry sky? Or the unobservable void?"

Liu Su shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, because I haven't explored it."

"Didn't the golden tree penetrate the curtain of the starry sky? How could you not know? You have extended the roots and branches of the golden tree to that world." Ying asked in disbelief after hearing Liu Su's words.

"To put it simply, the golden tree is not a real curtain that penetrates the starry sky, but breaks through the barrier of this world to reach another world."

"So it can be like this? Then, what is that world? Why do I feel so familiar with it?"

"Well, actually you have guessed it, haven't you?" Liu Su replied with a smile.

"I."

Hearing Liusu's words, Ying fell silent.

After a long silence, Ying said with emotion: "Yes, the Herrscher, Honkai, and those similar people, I should have known it long ago. This is too similar to my extinct world."

"No, you haven't told me yet, who is the woman who represents the sun and looks like you? Nashida can't be drawn for no reason, and from my feeling, that's not you at all." After sighing, Ying suddenly changed the subject.

"You guessed it right, but there is no reward." Suddenly, something unexpected happened, and a figure like Liusu walked out of Liusu's body.

"???" Ying's head was full of question marks.

Yes, the figure that walked out of Liusu's body was the original Daci Tree King.

Ying looked at the Daci Tree King who looked exactly like Liusu before, turned his head and asked Liusu: "Liusu? Is this what you look like?"

"Have I changed?"

Liusu stretched out her hand and looked at herself, and found that she had not changed at all. Whether it was the feeling of her body or her sight, she didn't understand what Ying said.

"And how did you recognize me? We should be exactly the same."

"Look for yourself." Ying took out a mirror from her bag and pointed it at Liusu.

"Uh."

Liusu looked at herself in the mirror. She looked exactly like the Great Mercy Tree King, but a little different.

Because her eyes were golden, the green tree patterns on her dress had turned golden, and even the light green at the end of her hair was completely covered by the light gold.

Unlike the gentle expression of the Great Mercy Tree King, Ying felt divinity in the current Liusu. The pair of originally gentle green eyes no longer looked gentle, but were full of golden majesty and an indescribable indifference.

The face that originally belonged to the Great Mercy Tree King also became angular under the influence of this temperament. It was obviously a completely identical face, but it gave Ying two different feelings.

Liusu looked at herself in the mirror, touched her chin and commented: "Well, is this what I look like now? It looks good."

"???"

Ying looked at Liusu's comments on herself, with a lot of question marks on her head. Didn't you know what you looked like before?

Just when Ying was confused, Liusu sighed and said to the Great Compassion Tree King beside him: "You are always here."

"Of course, you are me and I am you, we are inseparable, wherever you are, I am there." The Great Compassion Tree King said with a smile.

"No distinction between us, didn't you come out anyway?" Liusu said.

"It's not that I came out, it's just that I used my consciousness to construct an illusory individual, modulating my influence on you in our consciousness to the minimum, so I can also be embodied in the golden tree." Daci Tree King explained.

After listening to Daci Tree King's words, Liusu seemed to know something, and said with a tiger face: "Well, it turns out that you can do this? I learned it."

"Wait, you are not allowed to do this!" Daci Tree King immediately sensed Liusu's meaning and shouted anxiously.

"Why not? I said, as one, how could you not move, you were lazy, now I'm playing bad, you move yourself." Liusu said lightly.

Daci Tree King: "."

Daci Tree King hated it so much, why did he jump out, let Liusu act alone? However, because of Liusu's taboo knowledge, as long as Liusu didn't say it, Daci Tree King couldn't detect it. In Liusu's mind, Daci Tree King saw chaos.

As long as Liusu said it herself, or thought of it, the King of Daci Tree could see it. What Liusu had never thought of, the King of Daci Tree could not see it.

Now in the Golden Tree, Liusu's mind was like a brainstorm, quickly recalling the previous things, all of which were felt by the King of Daci Tree, so she jumped out in shock.

In addition, there was no danger in the Golden Tree, and it would not be checked by others. As a result, nothing happened, but Liusu was in a mess, and the King of Daci Tree never expected this result.

"How about, let's make a deal, I'll go back, and this matter will be treated as if it didn't happen?" The King of Daci Tree said in a low voice.

Liusu turned her head and glanced at the King of Daci Tree and said faintly: "Do you think it's possible?"

"Don't be like this, I don't want to move either, okay~"

The King of Daci Tree walked in front of Liusu, gently hugged her arm, and acted like Nashida, she knew that Liusu liked this, and was soft.

Liusu: "."

Ying: "."

"Okay, okay." Liusu reluctantly agreed to the request of the King of Great Ci Tree.

"Hehe, I knew you were the best." After the King of Great Ci Tree finished speaking, he did not let go and hugged Liusu's arm.

Don't say it, hugging the arm of someone who looks exactly like her gave the King of Great Ci Tree a strange feeling, and did she find that she was so beautiful?

No, no, it's Liusu who looks good, not herself, the King of Great Ci Tree thought in her heart.

Liusu's golden eyes, which were completely different from hers, and the temperament that was completely inconsistent with Liusu's love of slacking off, were like a throne in the sky, looking down at all living beings.

Liusu: "."

The activities in the King of Great Ci Tree's mind were heard by her clearly. She looked at the King of Great Ci Tree, who was holding her arm and thinking with his head down, with a strange look on her face. The expression that was like a face change was transmitted along with the thoughts in the King of Great Ci Tree's mind.

Daci Tree King: "."

Daci Tree King felt the air was quiet, and immediately reacted. He turned his head and saw Liusu looking at him without blinking. Well, the thoughts in his mind were all heard by the other party. After all, the two people have the same thoughts.

"That's not what I meant. Do you believe it?" Daci Tree King said weakly.

"Hehe." Liusu gave Daci Tree King a look, letting her experience it herself.

Daci Tree King looked at Liusu's obviously distrustful expression, and also felt Liusu's thoughts, and sighed: "Alas, the image has completely collapsed."

"It's all your fault. There are so many weird thoughts in my mind, and I have been polluted, so it's your fault." Daci Tree King seriously put the blame on Liusu.

Liusu: "6."

After Liusu and Daci Tree King had a double act, Ying also came back to her senses.

"Who are you? How did you get out of Liusu's body?" Ying asked in shock.

"As you can see, I am the Great Compassion Tree King. As for why I can appear here, it is because there is a consciousness space inside the golden tree, and my consciousness can be revealed." The Great Compassion Tree King smiled and answered.

"The Great Compassion Tree King? Are you the former grass god of Xumi?"

"Yes, and also the sun that Nashida painted in your mouth."

Regarding Ying, the Great Compassion Tree King's thoughts are of course exactly the same as Liusu's. He is very optimistic about this outsider, so he patiently answers Ying's questions.

"Oh, so that's the case, I understand."

Ying thought about it, that's not right, if the Great Compassion Tree King is still alive, then why does Liusu occupy his body? Wouldn't it be better to descend directly?

"I can see doubt in your eyes. Why am I one with Liusu?"

Ying said frankly: "Yes, she is so strong, she should not need your body, so this is what I am confused about."

The Great Tree King chuckled and said: "Hehe, I am actually dead."

Ying: "???"

"And you are wrong, this body is not mine, it was created by Liusu herself in this world, that is to say, this is Liusu's own body."

"Ah? Why? If this body belongs to Liusu, why are you still here? And it looks like you?"

"Because I was a remnant soul before, I couldn't even think independently. Then, when I was in a daze and only knew to do certain things instinctively, Liusu came, and his consciousness received my consciousness. When he came, he had no body, but only a soul whose appearance was not clear. That soul suddenly appeared next to my consciousness."

"My consciousness was attracted by that soul, so my consciousness and his soul merged together, so this is why Liusu became like me."

The Great Compassion Tree King did not say the real reason for the matter, because that soul suddenly appeared in her consciousness, as if it was created out of thin air. At the beginning, he could obviously take this unconscious soul for himself, but that soul expressed his love and happiness to him, as if he was a rare treasure to her, and instinctively protected and cared for her and gave her warmth.

So the Great Compassion Tree King also gave up this idea. He hadn't been cared for so much in a long time. With him around, he would definitely live a happy life, right?

These thoughts were of course noticed by Liusu. She looked at the Great Compassion Tree King with complicated eyes. The Great Compassion Tree King noticed Liusu's thoughts and raised his head to smile at her.

"Later, Liusu woke up, she solved the taboo knowledge left in Teyvat, and then used this taboo knowledge to create a perfect body of her own, although it looked like me." At this, the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help laughing again.

"So that's how it is." Ying also understood the Great Compassion Tree King a little.

"As for the problem of the sun, stars, and the moon, I also learned here that the sun is a star, and the sun is just one of the thousands of stars, so Liusu as a star includes me, and I am the star closest to Liusu."

After the Great Compassion Tree King finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and added: "No, this statement is too formal. Liusu and I are a star, and we can swim in the real sea of ​​stars in the future."

"Swimming in the sea of ​​stars? Can it really be done?" Ying heard the words of the Great Compassion Tree King and murmured with longing.

The Great Compassion Tree King smiled at Ying and comforted her: "Of course, the starry sky of Teyvat is fake, even the stars in the sky are fake, but the stars are not. Now the stars are right in front of you, why not follow the guidance of the stars and go to the real sea of ​​stars?"

"Yes, as long as I follow the footsteps of the stars, I can also enter the real sea of ​​stars."

After listening to the words of the Great Compassion Tree King, Ying was no longer confused, and her eyes revealed determination. This was the goal she wanted to pursue in her life.

"We get the power to deny the world from outside the world, and this power will always accompany us and get out of this false world."

After the Great Compassion Tree King finished speaking, he turned his head to Liusu. It was obvious that the power outside this world referred to Liusu.

Ying followed the gaze of the Great Compassion Tree King and saw Liusu next to her. She answered seriously: "Well, I will make good use of this new power to accomplish things that I couldn't do before."

"That's right. This power has infinite possibilities. As for the rest, you will slowly discover it."

Liusu: "."

You have finished talking. What else can I say? And while you are talking, don't keep asking me in your mind. It is immoral, you know?

"How can this power become stronger?" Ying asked.

"It's very simple. You just need to use this power and raise your weapon without retreating against more difficult enemies. After defeating them, this power will respond to you and make you stronger. The stronger the enemy, the greater the improvement you will get. However, I don't recommend you to challenge powerful enemies that you can't defeat, as this will put you in danger."

Ying suddenly realized, "I understand. Just like in "Genshin Impact", you can gain spiritual energy by defeating powerful enemies, and then you can strengthen your physique through spiritual energy. However, outside, this power will directly enhance me and I don't need to distribute it."

"This understanding is not wrong. This is a power from outside the world. Outside the world, they all rely on this power to continuously improve themselves. It is said that the strongest god can create a complete world." Daci Tree King said.

"Create a complete world?" Ying asked in surprise.

"That's right. If Teyvat is compared to a small world, then the big world is the integration of the tree of imaginary numbers and the sea of ​​quantum. All of this is called the big world because it applies a set of laws."

"In each big world, the laws are different. Maybe in another big world, people will not encounter collapse, and there is no collapse energy. They have a brand-new power system. In this complete world, there are countless small worlds, which are collectively called big worlds."

"Each big world exists independently and does not interfere with each other. Only when you are strong enough to find the edge of the world, you can break through this big world and reach another completely different world."

The Great Ci Tree King said while looking at Liusu, meaning that Liusu should think quickly. If you don't want me to continue, how can I continue?

"Is that so? It turns out that there is a big world outside the small world? Can I go to other big worlds to have a look?" All of a sudden, Ying's horizons were broadened again, just like Ying who observed the Milky Way from the solar system, and was suddenly aware of the existence of the universe by the words of the Great Ci Tree King.

"Of course, because this power has infinite possibilities. As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible."

"I understand!" Ying felt unprecedented fighting spirit.

What abyss, what heavenly law, what collapse, none of them are Ying's current goals. She has only one goal, to travel freely in the sea of ​​stars in the big world.

The current goal is to work hard to improve herself, follow the guidance of the stars, and gain the strength to leave this world.

"By the way, Liusu, what is the reason for the Skynet you made that can see blue, purple, and gold exclamation marks? Is it also a force outside the world?" Ying thought of something and asked.

The Great Compassion Tree King answered: "You are right, this is a correction outside the world, which can observe what you need to do. The gold one represents what you need to experience. After doing these, you will become stronger. The purple one represents that you will have a lot of rewards after completing them, and the blue one is some interesting stories about this world. The rewards are not much, but you can learn about this world from many places."

"Got it, thank you, I have no problem." Ying said with a relaxed smile.

The Great Compassion Tree King warned Ying: "Then I will send you back. Remember, it's okay for you to think about these things in your mind. Skynet will cover up your thoughts, but you can't say them out, otherwise you will be rejected by the world."

"Well, I know, I'm not stupid, I won't say what I can't say out." Ying nodded and replied.

"Well, the things that can't be said have been marked. You can find them in your own Skynet. The rest of the things are fine." After Liusu finished speaking, she sent Ying back.

"Now, it's time to talk about our business." Liusu turned her head and said to the Great Compassion Tree King.

"Can we not talk about it?" The Great Compassion Tree King said weakly.

"What do you think?"

Under the horrified eyes of the Great Compassion Tree King, Liusu showed her a meaningful smile.
