Chapter 390

"Speaking of which, I wonder what kind of family Kaguya grew up in? Such a deep love for the people, as well as extraordinary knowledge and wisdom, really makes one curious about your upbringing."

"Huh? I'm nothing special, of course I am... of course I am..."

Kaguya frowned and pressed her forehead, seemingly trying hard to recall the past, but her head was throbbing with pain.

Yae Miko sensed that her aura had become disordered.

"Stop!"

She quickly grabbed Kaguya's hand.

Kaguya's face turned pale as she stared blankly at Yae Miko, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

"Lord Kuji, I... I seem to have forgotten... my childhood, my family... Do I even have a family?"

Kaguya asked herself doubtfully, her pitiful little face becoming even more bloodless.

Yae Miko immediately became serious and recited the words she had prepared beforehand:

"After all, you almost exhausted your energy. Even though you were saved and given a new lease on life, it's impossible that you're completely unaffected. The brain is the most complex and also the most vulnerable part of the human body, and it's likely that some of your memories have been damaged. I misspoke. Don't think about these things anymore; you'll get better slowly."

"Kaguya, listen to Lord Kuji, don't scare me!"

Kamisato Ayaka was also terrified, her face turning pale, and she hugged Kaguya tightly.

Kaguya quickly reached out to comfort the sweet, soft little girl in her arms, saying:

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't think about it. Don't worry, I've recovered to this point and I can see that Inazuma has changed, this is already the best result, how could I ask for more? It's just a few memories, if I really can't remember... then let it go."

"It's good that you think this way, Kaguya. Anyway, don't worry too much. Maybe as your body recovers, you'll gradually remember everything. There's no need to be too pessimistic."

"Yes, I understand. Lord Miyaji, I... I think I have a younger sister... Although I can't remember anything, I should have a younger sister... But she... Ugh! I don't want to think about it anymore. I should focus on getting better first."

Kaguya murmured to herself, then shook her head with a bitter smile and turned to look at the city lights. She held Kamisato Ayaka in her arms, her eyes reflecting the night scene with a faint, wistful sadness.

Yae Miko clenched the gohei in her hand until her little hands turned white, without even realizing it.

Kaguya and Kamisato Ayaka quickly went inside to rest.

The two lay in the same bed, snuggling together, sharing each other's warmth and tenderness.

Yae Miko did not disturb him, but simply leaned against the edge of the pavilion, looking at the dark capital and the sea, lost in thought.

Until a thunderclap ripped through the night sky.

"Keep your voice down, everyone's sleeping."

"Oh."

Raiden Ei landed silently beside Yae Miko.

Yae Miko glanced at her, turned around, raised her hand, and straightened Raiden Ei's slightly crooked collar and clothes.

Raiden Ei silently watched his best friend's actions and said:

Are you thinking about something?

"Oh, you can actually tell, you blockhead?"

"... I'm not made of wood."

"Only you would believe that. Oh, and that Puppet General would believe it too. So, tell me, how did this trip go?"

Yae Miko tidied up Raiden Ei's appearance and smiled.

Raiden Ei, with a stern face, recounted:

"The Grass Goddess of Sumeru is disappointing. She was imprisoned by her own people for five hundred years until I, Morax, and... oh, right, the second God of Wind of Mondstadt was born, calling herself the Goddess of War Beiana."

"Ah? His Majesty Barbatos has fallen?"

"Not yet, but what we see from Celestia is higher and farther than the Seven Archons. Since Beiana has been born, it won't be long. I guess at most one or two hundred years, or perhaps in the next few years, we will witness the change of the gods in Mondstadt."

"I see. I didn't expect that cynical god would also... Never mind, let's continue talking about Sumeru."

Yae Miko was somewhat moved.

Raiden Ei continued:

"In short, we, the three gods of the three kingdoms, gathered at Sumeru, allowing the Little Grass God to appear. Then, with the help of Morax's Heart of God, we completed a purification of the World Tree. Now that the Sumeru Ley Line are cleansed, I think the situation in each kingdom will gradually improve, especially the filth in our Inazuma Ley Line should be much better. However, Morax still questions the grass god's abilities. He and the God of Wind will continue to observe and ultimately decide whether to summon the Seven Archons to depose the grass god. I have agreed. That's about it."

"If the Grass God is not up to the task of managing such an important entity as the World Tree, then indeed, it is only right."

Yae Miko pondered for a moment, then nodded.

As for one's own deity possibly bullying another deity at their doorstep, that's none of my business.

Inazuma stands on the front lines of the dark outer sea, shouldering the responsibility of deterring and suppressing the Demon God of the outer sea. Therefore, the Electro Archon is inherently the representative of the god of martial arts. Counting through the Seven Nations, apart from the Demon God next door who fought his way out of a horde of demon gods, Yae Miko doesn't think any god can rival her own.

Bullying the Grass God or whatever, I don't care.

What could He possibly do to Inazuma?

Furthermore, His failure to effectively protect the World Tree was also His fault.

Yae Miko noted down the information about the change of the God of Wind and the grass god still being under observation, and then told Raiden Ei about today's events.

"The Imperial Advisor you appointed is quite good. He is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and manages things in an orderly manner... He is so outstanding that it's as if he handled state affairs five hundred years ago."

What did you discover?

"She has no childhood memories. The investigation also revealed that everything stopped a few years ago, as if she suddenly appeared out of nowhere, already a mature adult. You know, real humans aren't like that. Today, I tried to ask her about her childhood memories, but she had a terrible headache, her breathing became erratic, and she couldn't remember anything. But in the end, she said... she should have a younger sister. Although she doesn't remember anything else, she's certain that she has a younger sister."

Raiden Ei couldn't help but take a step back, grabbing the railing beside him to steady himself.

"Sister... really..."

Do you still have the energy?

"What you up to?"

"Let's go and have a chat with Lord Kusanaagi. This is the last piece of the puzzle. If we understand Lord Kusanaagi's experiences and confirm the possibility of power and memories flowing through the Ley Line, then..."

Yae Miko looked towards the room where Kaguya and Kamisato Ayaka were resting, her eyes gleaming with hope.

Raiden Ei nodded without hesitation.

"Walk!"

At this moment, let alone mere energy, even if there were a horde of Demon God gathered ahead, she would resolutely charge through.

[Did you hear that, World Tree? Hurry up and give them some support. Anyway, we just cleared away the Forbidden Knowledge from the Ley Line, so the pollution in the Inazuma ley Ley Line has decreased, and the remnants of souls within Ley Line are being repaired. That's pretty normal, right?]

[... It sounds simple. Finding just one of the countless Ley Line lines on the continent of Teyvat, and then specifically repairing the fragmented consciousness residing within it, is a massive undertaking.]

So, are you going to do it or not?

I'll do it.

What can we do?

With Anqi Faction not help her own people?

World Tree Anqi sighed and continued to accelerate her work.
