Chapter 357

【From the very beginning... my existence had already been polluted by Forbidden Knowledge.】

【……】

【Even if I die, my existence, and everything related to me, will still be preserved in Irminsul as memories and knowledge, so the Forbidden Knowledge can never be eradicated.】

【And I... can never eliminate myself, this is a paradox.】

Speaking of this, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata looked at Nahida.

【So, I broke off the purest branch of Irminsul, as my reincarnation, and left clues...】

【Just so that you could come here and completely erase the polluted me from Irminsul...】

At this point, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's meaning was already very clear.

She was now the source of Irminsul's pollution!

That's why she created another self, and then let her erase herself with her own hands!

For Nahida, this was undoubtedly too cruel!

Seeing this, the audience in the livestream room were all unsettled.

"No, what does this mean? More angst?"

"So sad, she was originally a deity protecting Irminsul, but in the end, she became the final pollution of Irminsul."

"HoYoverse, you have no conscience! The little Archon finally met Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and you make her erase another self, or even her own mother?"

"A deity who dedicated her life to the people, but her final request was to be forgotten by everyone."

"After being forgotten, everyone will no longer remember the existence of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, only the little Archon; is there any ending more miserable than this?"

"True death is when there is no one left in the world who remembers you!"

"Death will never be the end, forgetting is."

"Yeah, Raiden Makoto has left, but at least Raiden Ei still remembers her!"

"Erasing from the concept, which means only we players will remember later, right?"

"……"

In the villa, the three Archons also fell silent.

They never expected that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's goal would be this!

Although they could understand, as old friends, they couldn't accept it.

"Erasing the memories of the people of Teyvat regarding Buer?"

"That's really cruel!"

Venti leaned on the sofa and muttered to himself.

At this moment, there was no playful smile on his face, only complexity.

Who doesn't have someone they miss in their heart?

His current appearance is the appearance of that friend from the past.

If this happened to him, would he have to forget his friend too?

Raiden Ei's mood was the same.

After manifesting the Musou Isshin, looking at it, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"Luckily, I won't forget you!"

Zhongli's mood was the heaviest.

As the oldest deity, he had the most nostalgia for his old friends.

Now, was this going to make him completely lose an old friend?

If they hadn't come here, would they have never known?

Thinking of this, and thinking that he had come to the Blue Star, Zhongli's mood suddenly relaxed.

"Luckily, luckily we came to this other world!"

"With this place as a record, we won't forget."

Hearing Zhongli's words, Venti and Raiden Ei nodded slightly.

For them, this was the best news possible.

In the livestream room.

"Let the world completely forget me, so it really is like this..."

"But... but people love you so much, everyone has always been missing you!"

"I... I really don't want to forget you either!"

Watching the cutscene in the game, Nahida whispered, her tone full of crying.

Tears also couldn't help but slide down the corners of her eyes.

And the game cutscene was still continuing...

Accompanied by beautiful music, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's voice sounded again.

【We all dwell beneath the tree of the world】

【Trying to read the world】

【Read from the soil, read from the rain, then turn into a white bird and climb the branches】

【Finally catching that crucial leaf】

【……】

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata stepped forward gently and hugged Nahida, hugging another version of herself.

Her eyes were full of infinite nostalgia.

Nahida had tears in her eyes and closed them painfully.

Although she didn't want Greater Lord Rukkhadevata to leave.

But for the sake of Sumeru, she had to let go...

After clenching her fists, she finally hugged Greater Lord Rukkhadevata with both hands.

Hugging her relative, her mother!

As Nahida made up her mind, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's figure gradually faded until it turned into a leaf and completely disappeared...

Nahida lunged at nothing and opened her eyes wide.

But the person in her arms had long since disappeared...

Facing the departure of her relative, Nahida could no longer control her emotions.

She fell to her knees.

And cried bitterly.

Accompanied by the melodious music, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's voice sounded for the final time.

【I am the one who sets the proposition, and also the one who seeks the solution.】

【Saving the world with the dreams of the people was once my answer.】

【And now, you have also found your own answer.】

【I will return all dreams to the people.】

【People of Sumeru, goodbye.】

【May you enjoy sweet dreams tonight.】

Following Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's voice, the game screen shifted to Sumeru.

Under the drifting leaves, sweet dreams returned to the hands of the people of Sumeru.

Dunyarzad, Collei, the mad scholars, and Haypasia all returned to normal.

Under Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's blessing, they all had sweet dreams.

However, no one remembered the deity who gave everything for them, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata!

At this time, the audience in the livestream room had reached 20 million!

But they didn't say a word, watching the stream in silence.

Collei and Dunyarzad were saved!

But they couldn't be happy.

They didn't expect the Akademiya wouldn't be the ones to cause angst, but the most merciful Greater Lord Rukkhadevata would pass away.

Now it's done, the people who made Nahida cry have really all been finished off!

Although Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's appearance time was short, her gentle personality and her sincerity in dedicating everything to the world left a very deep impression on the audience!

For such a great deity, everyone respected her from the bottom of their hearts!
