Chapter 259: Chen Yu's Last Words (8000 Nutrient Solution Plus)
"To eat the World Tree means to eat its leaves that have not grown well in the Abyss, the leaves that have been contaminated by the Abyss after the shell is opened.
It is a fact that is hard to accept.
Fortunately, you were well prepared. If there is something you don’t want to eat, Tai will help you eat it.
If saving the world requires you to be a mature man who is not picky about food, then there is no way you can become the savior.
Swarms of Coleoptera flutter their wings and gather to protect you, the King Chong.
Sometimes, you feel that you are such a kind father that even the recipe that terrifies everyone in Teyvat has to become an assembly line worker.
Although... with the help of you, a lousy pruner, the World Tree failed to mutate into the strong form it wished.
It first grows out with great force, then shrinks pitifully with its branches and leaves infected with black spots. The insects open and close their mouthparts to trim the spots, and then the cycle begins again.
It's really strange that the swarm of insects that can cause a locust plague all over the world, when they arrive on the continent of Teyvat, also have to work part-time as a sleepless and extremely stress-resistant savior.
You once again showed your deep love to Taiz Yuros, who was hated by everyone in the world.
The sky that had just broken open was unable to unleash a black tide, all thanks to the World Tree, which had no advantages other than hard work and diligence.
...You really feel ashamed.
You don't want to raise a baby, but you hope the tree will be at peace.
The world is shaking, and you... you are sitting in the moonlit chariot, galloping across the continent of Teyvat.
Let us live a carefree life with the companionship of the world.
Galloping on horseback, sharing the prosperity of the world~
You're wrong, that's a bit abstract. But in fact, besides the Dream Demon driving the Moonlight High Car to take you for a stroll, there are also the aquatic creatures being taken for a stroll behind the car.
Meeting the demon god of the Liyue battlefield in this way is truly refreshing. Fortunately, because it is so interesting, your conscience can fully support this kind of consumption.
They are still alive, how can that be a bad thing?
Just like a lively and energetic crayfish can be picked up with claws and brought to your face, objects of suitable size and weight can be picked up with claws. Similarly, the seafood you caught in Guiliyuan has been sent to the World Tree through the hands of the Dream Demon...
The hardworking Master Chong worked hard all day, but the family was still in chaos as usual. How could this be acceptable?
Does the area of their rule define their scope of activities? That doesn't make sense. The Three Kingdoms War didn't stop them from using the surrounding small countries as dungeons.
Then, catch all these aquatic products. Even if they are just doing chores for the insect swarm, they will have to work for you!

What? Some of them aren't seafood monsters in the water? It doesn't matter. Working near the World Tree in a dream doesn't require diving skills.
The most dangerous and stressful part is on the Zerg side, so where is the technical content?
Achi, Baqiu, Osair, Bache, Orobas and other old subordinates have to do an extra job;
The Red King, the Flower Goddess, and Egolia, these old meanies, have two jobs;
Strong sisters like Tianli and Ruona Wa even have the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (crossed out) and eighteen jobs!
That's great (crossed out) It's so sad, the world is about to end and everyone has to come work for you.

As for the fact that the Abyss hadn't yet penetrated Teyvat... what a joke! The Abyss is the Abyss, and it's the Abyss forever. Faced with such a fragrant, soft, and crispy puff from Teyvat, how could it resist taking a bite?
Anyway, if you want to practice being a savior, then you must do it! How to practice? Where to practice? Such unnecessary questions are not worth worrying about!
Likewise, it doesn’t matter how the disaster came about.
After a tour of the continent of Teyvat, apart from the talented people who maintain the real order and are good at managing and allocating supplies, there are no aquatic creatures like catfish who are full of passion and cheer for the battle every day.
It's still too weak. It only takes up the time to fall asleep at night. At most, when it is accidentally infected, it will be sucked by the insects. My mental order is disordered and clear, and I feel more tired. It's not even half of the workload during the infrastructure construction period of the Impas Empire.

However, this scene felt familiar. It seemed as if a long time ago, this kind of situation of pulling people to work in dreams had also occurred...

But having people do the work is one thing, and hiring supervisors everywhere is another.
——In the end, you still live the life of a street urchin.
That makes sense (nods).
After all, if you can't lead a team, you can only work yourself to death!"
"So, did you succeed?
As it is.
Cultivating the World Tree is not easy. If you do not use the Fate Strengthener and only rely on the World Tree's own fragile resistance to the abyss, observing from the outside, the bare branches are twisted and curled, hugging the fragmented shell of the sky.
It looks like a tumor, like the incarnation of Acarya in the Jungle Book.
Actually, this is also a method of detoxification within the world, so it is not surprising that it looks like that.
As a savior, he pretended to raise a group of imaginary bugs, poked the sky to detonate a disaster thousands of years later, and saved the world in the quantum sea. There is no worse hell than this.
It’s not that you don’t want to cheat, it’s just that the world has sunk too deep in the quantum ocean.
Behind him, there was an abyss like an oil-polluted ocean chasing him, and below him was the crumbling world boundary. Inside the quantum sea, there was no room for more imaginary power.

…
Then the world woke up.
There is no heartbreak, it's just time.
“You’re a butterfly…?” She stares at you, “But you didn’t fly to me.”
The green skirt hung down from the moonlight, and the jade-like demon's eyes were as red as blood. "Why can't you ride with me without thinking about anything?"
Yes, when you transform into a butterfly.
You rely on the power of dreams to cover the world, experiences like these, as well as being a breeding insect and a messenger of pure beauty.
In the quantum sea, in order to conceal the identity of the Imaginary God, the same trick can naturally be used again.
What's more, you are a butterfly, and butterflies are as fleeting and brilliant as dreams.
So, in Qingdie’s dream which was neither a sweet dream nor a nightmare, could she stare into the abyss that threatened the entire world?
The answer is yes.
But it's not necessary.
On the continent of Teyvat, there is no soil for the birth of such a spirit of sacrifice.
This is not home.
so--
"No." You looked at this deep and gloomy dream, "Unless, I really am a butterfly."
Unless you are truly a mortal with a short life on the continent of Teyvat, you would not stop here and dream a never-ending dream.
Like I said at the beginning, this is just an experiment.
For the thousand and first time the world shook, the Great Compassion Tree King opened his eyes and said, "Once upon a time, I was the only person in the world who could dream."
"In my dreams, everyone falls asleep at night." She looked into your eyes, then curved her eyebrows for a moment. "You really have understood, Chong."
"Before you knew me, I knew you... a long, long time ago. The world continues to move forward in a cycle, but the only way to save it is to repeat it again and again, just like you dilute the toxins in your dreams, constantly discarding polluted dreams."
"This time, you finally saw me."
"...You mean, the pain of chopping down the World Tree is far less than that of samsara?"
The Great Compassion Tree King's eyes were clear, and his smile was as warm as ever. "Is that what you call pain? Perhaps, for me, it is also a kind of awakening?"
The World Tree connects everyone's dreams, so, as a tree spirit, how do you wake up to reach reality?
This isn't home, and you won't have a dream that never ends.
But the Great Compassionate Tree King can."
"During your first few journeys, you participated in the blond traveler's rescue of the little King of Auspicious Grass in Xumi.
Your memory is not particularly good, but one thing is that after Xumi's death zone disappeared, the little auspicious grass king was no longer like the Nashida you knew.
But at that time, you were still a hopeless illiterate, not knowing the name of the first generation Grass God, let alone the Great Compassionate Tree King.
A dream great enough could withstand the contamination of the entire abyss. So, the Great Compassion Tree King's dream could certainly accommodate the pollution that seeped into the continent of Teyvat.
then--
"So, you will drown in the depths of the abyss with your disordered dreams. And in Teyvat, even the traces of your existence will be erased?"
It's just because the World Tree is a special CPU.
You totally get it.
"No wonder the little grass god at that time looked like both Buyer and Nashida, yet was neither Buyer nor Nashida..."
The little grass god whose records have been covered up is more like a living tombstone to you.
"...In this case, haven't you been abandoned countless times?" you asked her.
The Great Tree King blinked at you, "Then this time, it's my turn to say a few words of love——"
"If a thousand births equal a thousand heartbreaks, then let me be heartbroken for the thousand and first time here with you after my thousand and first birth."
"You have discovered the secret of my heartbreak a thousand times, so for the thousand and first time, please wake me up a second time."
The dream shattered, and the Great Kindness Tree King gently let the butterfly go.
"There are countless similar yet different worlds in this world, and every similar me is looking forward to the heartbreak you bring me. Chong, we will eventually meet again in the waking world."
…
The swarm of insects carries you forward, and in the middle of the road, Morax watches you quietly.
The world dreamed, woke up, and then broke its heart, but the stone was still there.
"Is it over?" he thought.
But you just forget.
Whether it's the healthy Yaksha in Chenyu Valley, Heulia whose aquatic products business is steadily rising, or the dream demon who drives in a dream.
You are just temporarily tired of dreaming, so you don't want to think about anything.
So, you also ask:
"What about you?" Are you done too?
Morax nodded slightly, "There won't be any demon invasions in the short term."
Then he took out a flower branch, the one on Ruota's left eye, and after considering for a moment, he handed it to you, looking nothing unusual.
This is as it should be.
Those who work in their dreams or even have their dreams confiscated will not remember any of this.
So, you bypassed him.
"Come pick me up next time. I haven't done what a mature butterfly should do yet."
Then, Morax walked silently beside him, like following a butterfly. It was as if you were a butterfly before him, and it was the same as always.
"...Morax, you are such a sinful and dangerous man." you said.
"Same here." He nodded, his golden eyes more conspicuous than the long battle. As if remembering something, he spoke, "...I don't think I've ever formally called you by your name."
Waiting for you to speak, he said:
"In that case... Chong, we can go together."
