Chapter 33, a new core born from the ground
The Tree King unified the power of the people and created the void.
At the same time, he broke off the purest branch on the World Tree, the one farthest from the forbidden knowledge, and used it as the initial carrier of the void, hoping that the pure branch could replace himself and continue to protect Sumeru.
In the end, He used his greatest power to reverse the instinct recorded by the World Tree and delete the part about forbidden knowledge from it.
In the end, most of himself was burned, because he knew that he was connected to the World Tree. If he did not completely forget the forbidden knowledge, the taboo pollution on the World Tree would continue to regenerate.
But at the end of the process, King Daci Shu discovered a problem.
He himself cannot kill himself.
In the end, he could only wait, wait for the pure branches to grow up, and finally... kill himself and let himself disappear along with all the forbidden knowledge in the world.
The news of the death of the Tree King caused the entire Order Council to panic. Kulu, the former sage of the Sumron sect who was training rangers, left without even taking a breath.
He died at the age of 180, and his lifespan was more than four times the average lifespan of Xumi residents.
"Teacher, I finally came to find you."
In the Sixth Level Manor, Xia Mian felt a little dazed after hearing the news of the death of the Tree King.
"Is it already this time? So why did His Majesty King Dacishu commit suicide?"
"Sleep, Charmian, you are too tired." Fugate's voice echoed in his ears, "The new pure branches are still waiting for your help."
Xia Mian nodded, holding Maomao Dahei into the sleeping ceremony.
The ritual runes began to sparkle.
Charmian lies on the coffin where he sleeps...
Although he was very sleepy, Charmian still complained: "So why is it a coffin."
A chuckle came to Xia Mian's ears: "Because it is easier to inscribe ritual runes on a coffin than on a bed, and the coverage is more comprehensive. Don't worry, the coffin is well ventilated."
"Reluctantly accept it." Charmian said with a smile, and then fell into a deep sleep.
As Charmian fell into a deep sleep, the Sixth Manor also disappeared without a trace. The gray-black breath of forgetfulness enveloped the Sixth Manor. Everyone, including time, seemed to have forgotten the Sixth Manor.
People no longer talk about this magnificent large manor, as if this six-story manor never existed.
Time began to flow again, and Fugate and his disciples were mentioned less and less frequently. Only some historical documents and records still mentioned Fugate and his disciples.
Forty years after the death of King Daci Shu.
The Little Lucky Grass King has appeared, but he was imprisoned by the sages in the Jingshan Palace.
"What a genius idea." Young Zendik marveled at the mural.
He was expelled from the Order and could only do research in the desert.
Some time ago, he heard that there was a tomb of Habandha in the Bintie Sand Dunes area.
If it was originally just the tomb of Hebanda, Zandik would not be interested in it, but this Hebanda is named Fugate.
What most people know about Fugate, Havana, may only be that he invented [Fugate's Intelligence Amplifying Potion].
But what happened was that Zandik carefully investigated Fugate because he was more interested in [Fugate's intelligence-enhancing potion].
Although this Fugate was only a Havana, in Zandik's opinion, he was a real genius.
Because [Fugate's Intelligence Amplifying Potion], which is regarded as a miracle medicine by the mediocre people in the Order Academy, is the most inconspicuous of Fugate's many inventions.
The culmination of these should be [Fugate Intellectual Development Potion] and [Nathan Rice Advanced Concentration Potion].
These two can permanently develop the brain and improve concentration.
But it is a pity that whether it is [Fugate Intelligence Development Potion] or [Nathan Rice Advanced Concentration Potion], many of the raw materials for both have been reduced in production due to the dark disaster.
Before being kicked out by the Order Council, Zendic had only prepared a few bottles of high-level concentration potions. As for the intelligence development potions, they had been failing.
So Zendik came to the mausoleum, hoping to get some more detailed information. It would be better if there were other gains.
But after Zendik came here, he was surprised to find that there was actually a desert tribe living here.
They claim to be the Iron Sand tribe, a branch of a large tribe, and this mausoleum is the place they guard.
Because Zandik was dressed as a scholar, Zandik was welcomed by the tribe after he expressed his desire to settle here.
Zandik also officially began his research and life here.
Soon afterwards, Zendik was recognized by the tribe, and some areas in the tomb were opened to Zendik.
Among them is the mural room on the second floor above ground that made Zendik marvel.
"It's really hard to find you." A tall figure appeared in the mural room. "What are you doing here, archeology?"
"Just browsing the wisdom of the predecessors." Zandik said, "If you have anything, just go out and talk about it."
The two left the mausoleum and came to the desert.
"I came here following the rumors of the [Taboo]." The tall figure said, "I heard that you can create an 'optimized person'."
"First of all, let me introduce myself. You can call me [Harlequin]. From the solstice, I invite you to join [Fools]"
"Are they just 'optimized people'? If your country can provide enough materials and allow enough time, I can create even your so-called 'gods'. How about that?"
If he had only had this idea before, but after seeing Fugate's biological enhancement technology, Zendik's confidence became even more certain.
Will you call me a "monster" or a "madman" like the people in the Order? Or are you going to drive me away with sticks and pitchforks like the people in my hometown...
Zendic thought secretly in his heart.
"Very good. Then, we are companions." [Harlequin] said, "As for what I want to call you, how about this - [Doctor]."
"Interesting, it's really interesting." [Doctor] said with a smile, because the name given to him was too ironic.
"Then let's go back to the mausoleum. You should be very interested in the things in there," [Doctor] said.
"Tell me what this mausoleum is about." [Doctor] said this, and [Harlequin] also became interested in it.
So [Doctor] briefly introduced the owner of the mausoleum.
"It seems that some incredible people are here." The high priest of the Iron Sand Tribe looked at [Doctor] and [Harlequin] with his scepter in hand.
"Priest of Iron Sand, we have no intention of offending you." [Doctor] said.
"Is it for the wisdom of the saint?" the high priest said, "Then go in, and leave here after you get what you want."
"Your will." [Doctor] saluted slightly.
"This high priest seems to have magical power." [Harlequin] said, "It actually made me feel a little threatened."
"After all, he is a legend who has fought against the dark disaster." [Doctor] said.
"That's really incredible." [Harlequin] didn't care about this.
The two re-entered the second floor of the mausoleum.
[Doctor] held a torch and prepared to continue looking at the murals.
[Harlequin] said, "Let me help you."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and an elemental ball appeared in the center of the mausoleum, and everything around it was lit up.
"The priest before here told me that the six achievements of the 'saint', the owner of the tomb, are recorded here." [Doctor] said.
"That old man outside?" [Harlequin] said.
"That's not true, he is a young priest." [Doctor] said with a slightly mocking expression, "But no matter how clear the description of this 'saint' is, it is still incomprehensible to those mediocre people."< br>
"Pharmaceuticals for developing intelligence, unparalleled sword skills, and shocking theories." [Doctor] expressed his amazement at this.
But [Harlequin]'s attention is obviously not here.
He carefully looked at the results that represented Fugate's education.
"What's wrong?" After [Doctor] copied down the principle, he was a little puzzled that [Harlequin] was still looking at the simple mural.
He also looked at the mural in front of him.
[Kulu, who was born in a family of small traders in the Grand Bazaar, later studied at Pandama Academy, became a trainee under Fugate, and became a trainee at Pantama Academy. Later, he was promoted to Habandama, Sage, and Great Sage. who. 】
[Baanka was born into a merchant family in Baoshang Street. He later studied at Pandomo Academy and became a disciple of Fugate. After graduation, he switched to business and became the richest businessman and philanthropist in Sumeru. 】
[Batu came from a family of health home doctors. He later studied at Pantama College, worked under Fugate, and worked at the health home after graduation. 】
[Samer, a desert dweller, later studied at Pandoma College and became a disciple of Fugate. After graduation, he returned to the desert to conduct alchemy research. After marrying Kuru, he entered the Pandoma College to teach. He was known as the Sumidhi A master alchemist. 】
[Hetara, a student studying abroad in Mondstadt, later studied at Pantama Academy, became a subordinate of Fugate, and returned to Mondstadt after graduation. She is known as the Potion Witch of Mondstadt] "It does seem like she has many acquaintances." [Dr. ] said while touching his chin.
Then [Doctor] looked at the figure where [Harlequin] stopped.
[Shamian, my wife, is from Tinal and the Hall of Silence. 】
"You seem to know this person." [Doctor] said.
"Of course, the famous Hermanubis II is tall and mighty on the battlefield, and is invincible." [Harlequin] said, "I didn't expect him, but she was actually a woman."
At the end of the pitch-black beast tide, he and Shamian had fought together.
I was very impressed by the lightning flashing in the black abyss [Harlequin].
Monsters that often require a team of Kanria knights can be easily solved by him alone.
But now it seems that he is her, hmm~ It feels a bit strange.
"Hmm~ I seem to be reminded of this person. Her name is indeed relatively gender-neutral. Her full name... seems to be called Charmian Fugate Saint Hermanubis."
"I have seen this name in many high-end alchemical theory papers." [Doctor] said.
"In the memoirs and personal autobiographies of many scholars, it seems that they are called [the ageless Mrs. Fogate], [the eternally young Charmian] and [Hermanubis II]."
"But what's strange is that it seems that all the information about her disappeared after a certain period of time."
[Harlequin] nodded and said, "There seems to be some kind of power that makes us forget it."
"But these are not important."
The two of them said goodbye to the ugly-faced high priest and left. They had lofty ideals and would not stop here.
"Have you tried going to the second underground floor?" [Harlequin] asked.
"There are a bunch of energy mechanisms guarding that place." [Doctor] said, "Even those iron sand priests don't dare to go."
[Doctor] once tried it, but was taught a few lessons by the agency, so he could only shout secretly, I am not strong yet, and when I am strong, there will be changes.
But before he could grow strong, he was recruited by [The Fools].
"It's really interesting." The blurry figure slowly dissipated. Although Fugate's spiritual power no longer increased sharply, it increased significantly.
But in the process of him being forgotten by people, his essence has become more and more powerful.
The external manifestation is that the [Power of Oblivion] is getting stronger, but Fugate is sleeping deeper, and the figure condenses purely because of instinct.
Nowadays, the reason why Fugate's spiritual energy is no longer increasing is that Fugate has used most of his spiritual energy on his body.
Now that Fugate's body has been dried for more than a hundred years, the water element contained in it has been completely eliminated, so Fugate can start the next stage.
That is, using spiritual energy to refine and transform the physical body, transforming the physical body into one that completely adapts to his essence.
After the success, if we compare, it is a bit too much to say that it is against the big golden human beings, but it is still okay to compare against the sons of the original body who are against the big golden human beings.
After all, he had everything the Primarch had, and even what the Primarch didn't have.
After all, the original body does not have any power of balance and voidness.
It is worth mentioning that when the spiritual energy washed away Fugate's body, the power of nothingness also penetrated deep into Fugate's body, and then the force of balance followed closely behind.
The three together made Fugate's body more powerful.
More than twenty years have passed.
"Hmm~" Xia Mian woke up from his deep sleep.
"Meow~" Well, Maomao Dahei also woke up.
"It feels terrible," Sharmian said.
"This is already an optimized experience." Fugate's words wrapped around Shamian's pointed ears.
Charmian's ears moved, and the hair on her ears was a little dry, which was a symptom of dehydration.
"Get some water," Charmian said.
The water element appeared out of thin air, and then condensed in front of Xia Mian and Maomao Dahei. One person and one cat drank quickly.
"Ahem~ I feel a lot weaker."
"You need to restore your strength as soon as possible." Fugate said to Charmian, "The pure new branches need your help."
"What happened?" Xia Mian asked with a nice frown.
Fugate told Shamian what happened to the little grass god.
"Treason." Charmian said angrily, "So why did you let me..."
"He also agreed to this matter, didn't he." Fugate said, "But there seems to be something wrong with his plan."
Charmian once told King Dacishu about this matter, and King Dacishu secretly told Charmian not to worry.
"...Okay, just do as you say." Xia Mian said helplessly.
"The most important thing for you now is to regain your strength." Fugate said.
Charmian slept for sixty-six years, six months and six days, and her level dropped from LV90 to LV78.
It's much better than Fugate expected. This is the effect of biological enhancement technology.
Maomao's situation is better, falling from LV85 to LV79. This is mainly because her body is smaller and her nature is more tenacious.
However, these are only temporary losses. As long as you eat well, drink well, and coordinate with appropriate training, a few weeks will be enough to fully recover to your peak.
Two weeks later, Charmian completely regained his strength.
Maomao Dahei was a little slower, taking three weeks to recover.
It can only be said that this is Teyvat, and mola as precious gold is the only currency in Teyvat, so even if Charmian goes out to buy things, he will not be troubled by money issues.
After all, if it is an ordinary civilization, sixty years is enough time for the currency to be reformed two or three times, or even seven or eight times if the currency changes faster.
"Exploring Jingshan Palace tonight."
"Meow~"
······
"The defense of Jingshan Palace is much stronger than before." Under the night, Shamian, wearing a hood, lay on a branch and complained, "There were not so many strong men before."
"Meow~"
"You're right, the Tree King didn't need these before." Xia Mian said.
One person and one cat turned into black shadows and entered the Jingshan Palace at the moment when the two guards were dozing off.
"Who are you?" Little Lucky Grass King looked at one person and one cat in confusion.
"Meow meow~" Maomao instantly ignored the barrier of the agency, appeared in the meditation room, and then started rubbing against it.
Xia Mian whispered his identity outside - the tree king's attendant.
"My husband made a prophecy that has caused me to sleep to this day."
"The Tree King also agrees with this. I don't know what the Tree King thinks. Maybe he also thinks that you need me more."
"It seems to be true now. How can my sword tolerate such injustice and transgression." Charmian's eyes seemed to be ignited with anger. "Let him chop off the head of the transgressor and enshrine him in front of your seat."
"No, no." Little Lucky Grass King was startled.
"I'm... trapped here... actually it makes sense." Little Lucky Grass King said weakly.
"??"
"Cat? Meow?"
Not only was Xia Mian confused, Maomao was also confused.
The Little Lucky Grass King began to complain about her "uselessness". After all, she was really inferior to the "omniscience and omnipotence" of the Big Ci Tree King.
"This is exactly what learning is about." Charmian said, suppressing his anger.
"They imprisoned you here, how will you grow? Let me unlock this cage."
Xia Mian solved the mechanism that imprisoned the Little Lucky Grass King and restored it to its original appearance.
"But, I have nowhere to go except here." Little Lucky Grass King said with a wink.
