Those were the memories of the World Tree when He slept, and His soul also vaguely saw that scene while sleeping. However, the Great Tree King could not understand what it meant at the moment, but He also knew that the man in front of Him was probably not a kind person.
Did you resurrect me?
The Great Tree King slightly parted its cherry lips.
Her voice was very gentle, even gentler than Bahr's.
Bahr's voice is the gentle kind of a girl next door, making you feel a deep sense of closeness.
The voice of the Great Tree King was more like that of a saint, her clear, beautiful eyes filled with compassion, as if it were a compassion and gentleness directed toward all people in the world.
Lin Jiu'an gave a faint "hmm" and continued to scrutinize her.
The Great Compassion Tree King frowned slightly, not because of Lin Jiu'an's unrestrained gaze that seemed to want to strip Him naked, but because He couldn't understand how Lin Jiu'an had resurrected Him.
He was well aware of his condition; at that point, there was no hope.
He can certainly live if he wants to, but when he chooses to exchange his life and existence for the "cleanliness" of the world and puts it into action, he is already dead beyond dead.
Even if there were a way to resurrect Him, the cost would be unacceptable to most beings.
Even a demon god couldn't afford such an astronomical loss.
Otherwise, the Red King would have resurrected the Flower Goddess long ago. As the God of Wisdom, He knew all too well that, at least in His 'wisdom,' there was absolutely no way to resurrect a demon god.
But the reality is what it is.
The Great Tree King examined itself.
He has indeed risen from the dead.
Although He is currently only in a soul state, He has indeed been resurrected.
Reshaping his physical body wasn't a difficult task for him. Given enough time and materials, it wouldn't be impossible for him to create a body capable of unleashing his peak power.
"How did you do that?" the Great Tree King asked curiously, her beautiful eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.
He hadn't felt "lost" for a very long time.
The human boy before Him, or more specifically, the things that the human boy before Him did, made Him feel confused; they were things that surpassed His 'wisdom'.
"I am a traveler from another world."
The Great Compassion Tree King seemed to realize something, and looked at Lin Jiu'an, who was listening even more attentively.
If the power comes from an being from another world, then it is indeed beyond the scope of His 'wisdom'.
"Everything has energy."
"Whether it's wind, rock, thunder, grass, water, fire, or ice."
"Or life, death, abyss, and the like."
"I can absorb all of them."
"And transfer it from one organism to another."
The Great Tree King seemed to realize something, but soon his expression turned rather grim.
What Lin Jiu'an said was not difficult to understand.
The way to resurrect Him is simply through His power.
To carry out the transmission of 'life'.
But He also knew perfectly well just how immense the energy that resurrected Him truly was.
The key is.
Having the energy of "life" alone is not enough; there must also be enough energy of "soul" to match it. Otherwise, what is resurrected is just an empty shell with strength but no wisdom or consciousness.
Then the problem is coming.
How did the other party gather the energy sufficient to revive His "life" and "soul" from whom?
Think of this.
The Great Compassion Tree King's gaze towards Lin Jiu'an changed, becoming somewhat wary.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he had just woken up, when he saw the other party laughing wildly in front of the World Tree, while the World Tree was wailing and burning.
He is no fool.
On the contrary, He knew very well that with His rank, He could not possibly have any 'illusions' or 'dreams'. The images that flashed through His mind but did not belong to His own memories were nothing more than possible 'future' or images He saw while He was unconscious.
And then consider the enormous energy required for his resurrection...
The Great Compassion Tree King asked somewhat urgently, "You burned the 'tree'?"
Lin Jiu'an didn't answer, but smiled and said, "It's so much easier to talk to smart people."
The Great Tree King's face turned pale instantly, and his body swayed precariously.
Lin Jiu'an didn't answer, but his words were no different from an answer.
"How could you burn the 'tree'?" The Great Compassion Tree King's tone was filled with barely concealed anger.
"Because I want to burn it."
Gone?
The Great Tree King thought the other party would give a long speech.
It should at least be a sentence or two, right?
The Great Compassion Tree King never expected that Lin Jiu'an would only say those five words, "Because I want to burn it," and then say nothing more, just looking at her and smiling.
"Want to burn it?"
The Great Tree King laughed in anger.
He really wanted to take action against the villain who burned the "tree," and this was the first time in thousands of years that He had the thought of hitting someone, but He only thought about it.
Although angry, He, as the god of wisdom, did not lose His reason.
I can't beat him.
The Great Tree King did not believe that this madman who burned the "tree" and resurrected Him could be a simple person. On the contrary, the other party's strength and methods must be extremely terrifying, and it is very likely that when He resurrected Him, He planted a "restriction" in the deepest part of His soul to prevent Him from resisting.
and so.
The Great Tree King's full chest heaved violently, and its breathing became somewhat rapid.
After a long while, He regained his steady breathing, and the look in His eyes as He looked at Lin Jiu'an was no longer filled with the loving kindness He had for all things; instead, it was filled with indifference and hostility.
"what do you want to do?"
I didn't understand what you meant.
"I mean..."
The Great Tree King suddenly fell silent as he spoke.
He realized that he himself seemed to be at a loss for words, and he was furious with him.
Why did you burn the "tree"?
"And what do you want me to do after you've been resurrected?"
"Burning 'trees'? Didn't I just say it was because I wanted to burn them?"
"Want to burn it?!" The Great Tree King's voice rose again, barely containing his anger.
"Don't get angry so quickly."
Lin Jiu'an smiled and opened his palm. Then, whether he suddenly thought of something or wanted to coax the Great Compassion Tree King because of his angry appearance, it was unclear.
In conclusion, Lin Jiu'an continued, "Well, there are reasons to burn it."
"For example, 'trees' can modify the memories and history of the Teyvat population."
"Those pigs and batteries are one thing, but I don't want to wake up one morning and find that my women's memories have been altered."
"And another reason is that I don't like Him."
"Actually, I also have some grudge against Him."
"Of course, it all comes down to the same point: I can burn it if I want to, what's wrong with that?"
The Great Compassion Tree King gritted his teeth, staring at Lin Jiu'an without uttering a single word.
There's no problem with that; you can do whatever you want, which is perfectly normal. But He can't accept what the other person did.
"Don't look like you hate me."
Lin Jiu'an said with a smile, "Otherwise, if I tell you about the other things I did, you'll hate me to death."
The Great Compassion Tree King was startled.
"What else did you do?"
"It's nothing."
Lin Jiu'an counted on his fingers and said, "It's about turning the little auspicious grass king that you created into my shape."
"They slaughtered most of the sages in the Council of the Church."
"Ninety percent of the people in both the desert and the rainforest of Sumeru were turned into batteries. Oh, right, a significant portion of the energy used to revive your 'soul' was thanks to them."
"besides..."
Listening to Lin Jiu'an recount his deeds as if they were his own treasures, the Great Compassion Tree King was almost driven to the brink of fainting with anger.
What kind of beast is this?
He was losing control of his emotions and, for the first time in his life, wanted to kill someone.
"Forget it, you probably won't believe me even if I just tell you."
Lin Jiu'an stopped talking mid-sentence and casually waved his hand, causing the Great Compassion Tree King to feel memories flooding his mind.
That's a means that the "Heart of the Grass God" can possess.
The Great Tree King was no stranger to acquiring memories, and he quickly absorbed the memory. Suddenly, everything went black and he almost fainted.
Those were all of Lin Jiu'an's memories from the time he entered Sumeru until now.
This includes not only the torment of the people of Sumeru by the cycle of dreams.
There was also burning of "trees".
And later, they slaughtered those sages and turned them into "batteries" to generate electricity under the Pure Land Palace.
It also includes his various 'daily' interactions with Little Lucky Grass King and Thor's sisters.
After reading these memories, the Great Compassion Tree King gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jiu'an.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Lin Jiu'an asked with a smile.
The Great Tree King has many 'mothers' who want to talk to him.
However, the Great Tree King ultimately did not say those words. No matter how heinous the other party's actions were, he understood that whatever he said would be of no use to the person in front of him who was now a pervert, a beast, and a madman.
“I want to see Nasita,” said the Great Tree King.
······
Jingshan Palace.
In a bedroom.
The Great Tree King looked at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression. She had the same hair, the same face, and the same eyes as the one who possessed her, but she appeared much smaller.
Nasida.
The 'self' that He created.
Before coming to see Him, He had a lot to say and was also a little angry.
But upon seeing it, the Great Compassion Tree King could only recall the memories Lin Jiu'an had given him, of Naxida being constantly 'tortured' by him. All the emotions in his heart could only turn into a helpless sigh.
"About Lin Jiu'an."
Do you know anything about him?
The Great Compassion Tree King asked, "Your past life?"
From the cycle of dreams.
