Chapter 715

"And my essence is the same as Nahida's."

"That is why you see me appearing before you in Nahida's form."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata said.

"So... so you are also a clone of the Irminsul?!"

Tighnari was shocked.

"Rather than saying she is a clone of the Irminsul, it's better to say she represents the Irminsul itself."

Suddenly, Miss Ruan Mei spoke up.

"The Irminsul itself?!"

Tighnari looked at Miss Ruan Mei in disbelief.

"Can you see it, Ms. Miss Ruan Mei?"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata looked at Miss Ruan Mei and asked curiously.

"Yes." Miss Ruan Mei nodded slightly and said:

"After you appeared, I sensed your connection with this Irminsul."

"This connection cannot be explained by the word 'clone'."

"And the relationship between Nahida and you is more like the relationship between a clone and the original."

【Nilou: Nahida is a clone of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?】

【Dori: Could it be that Nahida is a slice of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?】

【Alhaitham: Using 'slice' to explain is too far-fetched; the connection between Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Nahida should be much closer!】

"Sure enough, you can perceive it." After listening to Miss Ruan Mei's words, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata sighed deeply.

Originally, she shouldn't have told everyone about herself and Nahida.

However, Luo Feng had already pointed out the connection between Nahida and the Irminsul earlier,

and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata also felt that people from outside Teyvat like Luo Feng and Miss Ruan Mei could also see through the relationship between her and the Irminsul, and might tell everyone in Teyvat.

Miss Ruan Mei's words proved Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's thoughts and also made her determined to tell the truth.

"Just as Ms. Miss Ruan Mei said, Nahida can indeed be considered my clone."

"She... is my reincarnation!"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata took a breath and explained how she had been polluted by Forbidden Knowledge,

and had to pluck the purest branch of the Irminsul to turn it into Nahida.

Hearing Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's words, the people of Sumeru were already dumbfounded.

【Candace: King Deshret used Forbidden Knowledge, and then Greater Lord Rukkhadevata helped solve it?!】

【Dehya: And after that, in another Forbidden Knowledge pollution, the Irminsul and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata were both polluted,

and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had to pluck the purest branch of the Irminsul to let it turn into Nahida!!!】

【Faruzan: So, Nahida... no, Lesser Lord Kusanali is like a daughter to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?!】

【Nilou: But since Greater Lord Rukkhadevata created Lesser Lord Kusanali, why hasn't Lesser Lord Kusanali appeared in Sumeru since then?】

【Cyno: Sure enough, was she locked up? Did the Akademiya do it?!】

"Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, did the Akademiya really lock up Lesser Lord Kusanali?"

Tighnari took a deep breath and asked the question that puzzled quite a few Sumeru people and Teyvat people.

"If it were before, when my consciousness was in a chaotic state, I probably wouldn't have been able to answer such a question."

"But now, with Mr. Luo Feng stabilizing my consciousness,"

"I am able to check some past records."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata turned around and looked at the Irminsul body.

"Past records?"

While Tighnari was in doubt, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had already extracted a data stream from the trunk of the Irminsul.

The data stream gathered into a substance like a screen before everyone's eyes.

"These are images from the past, they should be able to answer your doubts."

As Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's voice fell,

the images on the screen began to run quickly.

The ignorant Nahida was born into the world, and the scholars of the Akademiya found her, who had just been born and was still confused about everything.

The scholars brought Nahida back to the Akademiya and sent her into the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

The scholars discussed that the ignorant Nahida did not possess the wisdom of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata,

even though she could master knowledge that an excellent scholar could master in just a few days.

The scholars believed that Nahida was not qualified to control Sumeru,

and used the device left by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata to lock Lesser Lord Kusanali in the Sanctuary of Surasthana,

making her unable to even take a single step out of the Sanctuary of Surasthana.

And after that, the Akademiya changed generation after generation of leaders,

yet what remained unchanged was the fact that Nahida was forever locked in the palace.

Until the Akademiya led by the current Grand Sage Azar.

………………

【Ei: Nahida is really the Dendro Archon, and the Akademiya... actually dared to lock up the Dendro Archon?!】

【Yae Miko: Although surprised, I can understand it. Human greed sometimes makes them do things they want to use to deceive the gods.】

【Yae Miko: I just didn't expect that the situation in Sumeru is even worse than in Inazuma.】

【Barbatos: Although I already knew, seeing this scene is really unpleasant.】

【Morax: I sort of want to drop a meteor on the Akademiya.】

【Nilou: How could this be! Lesser Lord Kusanali was actually locked up, and she was locked up for five hundred years!】

【Dori: Those guys are really daring; even though I only believe in Morax, I know that locking up a god is wrong.】

【Kaveh: Damn it, those guys actually hid so many things from us; if only I had noticed earlier!】

【Alhaitham: Lesser Lord Kusanali clearly showed enough wisdom and ability;】

【if these five hundred years could have been used effectively, she might already be the true God of Wisdom!】

【Cyno: Akademiya, Grand Sage, I will judge you one by one!】

Although the video played by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata progressed quickly,

this didn't hinder everyone from seeing the actions of the past leadership of the Akademiya.

This naturally included the Akademiya led by the current Azar.

Thinking that they had been kept in the dark for so many years, the chests of the Sumeru people were already filled with anger.

Quite a few people even gathered their strength, intending to go to the Akademiya to find trouble with Azar and the others right now.

Tighnari and Collei were the same.

However, before the two could take action, Lisa's question to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata pulled their attention back.

"Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, you mentioned earlier that even though you have passed away, Forbidden Knowledge still exists because of you."

"So, you creating Nahida shouldn't just be to let her govern this country in your stead."

"Your sentence 'let the world completely forget you' shouldn't just be a simple statement, right?"

Lisa asked.
