Chapter 161

"Haa..."

Nahida, emerging from the consciousness of the World Tree, let out a long sigh.

Her heart felt strangely empty.

"Are you okay? Nahida..."

Lumine had not lost the memories of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Sensing Nahida's own suppression, she asked with concern.

Nahida was stunned, then spoke weakly: "Mm, Lumine, I'm fine, just a little confused."

"We just saved the world, right?"

"Mm." Lumine nodded.

The World Tree concerns everything in Teyvat; clearing the forbidden knowledge within it did indeed indirectly save the world.

"But, why am I crying?"

Tears welled in Nahida's eyes, the reason unknown.

"This feeling in my heart right now, I don't know its source, but... it just feels so sad..."

"Do you remember what just happened?" Lumine asked tentatively.

Nahida pondered for a moment, saying: "I just used the power of two Gnosis to successfully establish a connection with the World Tree's will from five hundred years ago..."

"Then cleared all the remaining pollution within the World Tree..."

After that, Nahida didn't remember anything else.

Paimon, standing nearby, looked at Lumine with equal curiosity: "Lumine, we just did those things, seems like nothing special."

As expected...

Neither Nahida nor Paimon could remember Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

Lumine was about to say something.

From atop the high platform, a light laugh suddenly rang out: "So you've returned from the World Tree."

"I suppose everything is settled."

Su Bai's sudden appearance instantly shocked the three of them.

"Who are you?"

Nahida frowned, and only after several seconds did she slowly speak: "I remember you are the one who appeared from within my consciousness."

"Your name..."

"Su Bai?" Lumine reminded her.

"Yes, that's you."

Lumine looked at the somewhat awkward Nahida.

Did the disappearance of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's memories indeed cause partial loss and confusion regarding her memories of Su Bai?

"I remember you discussed the issue of the Watatsumi Island Resistance with me."

"Why are you here? What is this on you..."

Only then did Nahida realize.

The clothes Su Bai was wearing were not the same style as their Sumeru attire.

Instead, it was armor-like gear she had never seen before.

But, the conduit tubes behind Su Bai made Nahida's head shake violently a few times.

That feeling was extremely similar to the conduit pipes behind the Scaramouche inside the Shouki no Kami.

"Who exactly are you..."

Nahida was dazed.

Seeing this, Lumine stepped forward, drew the Withering Blade, and stood in front of Nahida.

"Su Bai, are you the Commander-in-Chief of the Fatui?"

"Hehe, you actually discovered it, golden-haired girl."

"Oh my, just as I expected, you are a troublesome fellow."

"Hmph." Lumine snorted arrogantly.

Paimon was instantly terrified into a stupor.

"Eh, he's the one who was crazily experimenting on Watatsumi Island people in Inazuma..."

"The Fatui Harbinger?"

"Lumine, look at the mecha on his body, it feels so strange."

"It's like, like wearing the Shouki no Kami on his body."

Lumine had of course noticed this.

This was the part that confused her even more.

At least, the Su Bai before her was completely different from the one described by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

"Five hundred years, it seems many stories have happened."

"Did you really come into contact with forbidden knowledge?"

Lumine's sudden probe made Su Bai's pupils tremble.

"Very good."

"This is good."

Su Bai's behavior of answering irrelevantly made Lumine even more puzzled.

However, before she could react.

Above the high platform, it was long since empty of people.

By the time Lumine reacted.

Su Bai had already arrived before Nahida.

"I have taken the Gnosis."

The words fell to the ground.

His arm instantly pierced through Nahida's heart.

As he obtained the Dendro Gnosis, looking at the Electro Gnosis lying on the ground, Su Bai casually picked it up.

"You..."

"Bastard! What exactly do you want to do."

Lumine was just about to rush forward when, in an instant, immense pressure surged toward her.

It was like a weight of ten thousand pounds pressing down on her body.

Lumine was instantly suffocated.

The next second, she became dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.

Is this Su Bai's true strength at present?

Merely with pressure, he directly knocked out the Traveler who had defeated the Sign of the Beginning.

And it was Lumine, who had already obtained the power of four elements.

Venti: "Wow, Su Bai is about to begin the final action."

Zhong Li: "To change Irminsul and create a new world; in six thousand years of life, I have never seen such a mad act."

Azhdaha: "I don't know why, but I feel very nervous. Will this system materialize what happens inside into our world?"

Cloud Retainer: "You are overthinking it. Has the erosion stopped, and for a moment you are unaccustomed, unable to turn your mind?"

Keqing: "I have a question. When Su Bai Mr. faced Lumine's questioning, I saw a flash of relief suddenly cross his face."

Dvalin: "Still saying it is very good, very good..."

Nahida: "That is because, before the plan's action began, everything developed exactly as Great Sage Su Bai deduced."

Alhaitham: "So, his action this time will surely succeed, right."

Nahida: "No one dares to guarantee such a thing; after all, it is to overthrow Teyvat and recreate a new world."

Yae Miko: "I suddenly feel that the days of Su Bai being Great Sage are too hard; every day he must follow his deductions. This kind of life can no longer be considered normal life."

Scaramouche: "Puppet..."

Scaramouche: "Puppet of fate."

【Teyvat.】

【It is a very special world.】
