Chapter 405
"Huh?"
"Why do you look so reluctant? I've only just picked up the Onmyōjutsu I'd forgotten. Besides, I can't explain anything related to the World Tree to Shadow."
Kaguya gave Raiden Makoto a dead fish eye.
Raiden Makoto reluctantly shifted its position.
"But it's really comfortable here."
"You're not expecting me to do all the work so you can just laze around here, are you?"
"..."
You don't really think that, do you?
Kaguya slammed her hand on the table and stared at Raiden Makoto with an unfriendly expression.
Raiden Makoto wiped his sweat nervously, then rolled his eyes and laughed:
"See, you still want to keep playing, don't you!"
"I'm just a little curious, if we don't bring it up, when will she realize that I already know?"
Kaguya looked like she was seeking advice from her senior.
Raiden Makoto smiled and raised a white, jade-like index finger.
Kaguya blinked.
"A year?"
"They will never notice it."
Raiden Makoto proudly puffed out its chest.
I don't know what's so great about this.
Kaguya waved her hand dismissively, signaling Raiden Makoto to hurry up and get to work, while she sat quietly with her tea in hand, resigned to her fate.
Raiden Makoto patted his head, feeling embarrassed to continue slacking off, so he took over the body and went to find Raiden Ei.
"Film."
"Sister! Really~~"
Raiden Ei are incredibly enthusiastic.
However, Raiden Makoto could understand his sister's dependence, so he let her take advantage of him to her heart's content before starting to talk about his plans.
"We need to arrange a ceremony..."
"Uh-huh."
"This might be a good opportunity to test the World Tree's true stance..."
"Uh-huh."
"If Celestia has any questions, you should answer like this..."
"Oh oh."
"You should remember this, right?"
"I've got it, really!"
Raiden Ei, including at the very end.
Raiden Makoto's lips twitched, he seemed about to speak but hesitated, then finally said slowly:
"Ying, you still need to learn to think for yourself more. Just because I'm back doesn't mean you can stop thinking about anything."
"I understand, Zhen."
"... I'll believe you for now."
Raiden Makoto covering its face.
She was powerless to help her younger sister's education a thousand years ago.
You can't say that Raiden Ei are stupid. He was very smart when he was studying martial arts. He wouldn't be fooled unless he knew someone well. Moreover, he had the ability to create Puppet General. He was a typical person with high combat skills and high intelligence.
But she is too straightforward and too dependent on Raiden Makoto.
Raiden Makoto sighed.
"Fine, at least I'm back. From now on, listen to Kaguya more. No matter what, she's still your sister and won't hurt you."
"Yes, I always listen to my older sister."
Raiden Ei hugged his beloved older sister and nuzzled her. A feeling of happiness had spread to the general, causing her to frown uncomfortably in her conscious world.
In short, after several days of preparation, the ceremony was completed, a group of Sea Gods were gathered, and then a solemn ceremony to pray to the World Tree was held on the sacred land.
"Imperial Advisor, everything is prepared as you instructed. I told everyone that this was prepared out of the General's pity for Watatsumi Island... but will it really be effective?"
"This is a method given by the general and the palace guard. I think it must be useful."
Kaguya coughed lightly, watching the people prostrate themselves before the altar, and then strands of their willpower were channeled into the Ley Line through the spell.
The rest is up to her.
Sumeru, the Genshin Academy.
Nahida was receiving reports and instructions for the next steps from a new group of sages.
His mind harbors the hidden wisdom of a King Deshret, offering occasional pointers.
"Um?"
Nahida was suddenly stunned.
He then casually dismissed the sages, closed his eyes, and, hand in hand with the King Deshret, arrived before the magnificent World Tree.
"Greetings, World Tree Master." ×2
The World Tree directly shared the prayers from Inazuma with the two generations of grass gods.
They were all taken aback.
Then the World Tree's vast and mighty voice resounded:
"Question: Is there a risk of being watched by Celestia if we respond to the above prayers?"
"World Tree, theoretically not. This is a legitimate attempt by Electro Archon to solve the land problem, and Celestia wouldn't be overly concerned. Besides, they don't have the means to directly observe this place. Whoever it is can only learn about the tree's situation through Buer, so even if Celestia questiones her, Buer can say that she received the prayer herself and then used the power of the World Tree to solve it."
After making a rational judgment, the King Deshret gave this answer.
"Information adoption".
Then, information and energy flowed from the World Tree.
A moment later, the World Tree spoke again:
"Order that if the Second Terminal encounters any external inquiries, it must adopt the suggestions of the first terminal and ensure the confidentiality of this consciousness and the first terminal."
The King Deshret and Nahida exchanged a glance and immediately understood that the World Tree had solved the problem of sanctifying the Inazuma Land.
Transforming the earth for the sake of the continuation of all living beings is naturally their philosophy; otherwise, there would be no rainforest as we know it today.
The World Tree's philosophy about all living beings and the earth perfectly resonated with their hearts, and its compassion and inclusiveness moved and delighted them.
Then, the two girls knelt down together, and said with reverence and joy:
"Homage to the World Tree, homage to all living beings on Earth!" ×2
