Chapter 549
"I have met you, Lord Sustainer."
"Buer, are you going to collude with the evil god?"
The Sustainer raised his hand, and dark red spatial cubes of various sizes appeared and disappeared in his hand. The terrifying aura pressed down on Nahida, causing her knees to buckle and almost causing her to kneel down.
In terms of experience, age, and strength, Nahida is far inferior to the maintainers who exist solely under the Heavenly Principles.
The World Tree is indeed more majestic, but it is also gentle and has never put pressure on Nahida. However, the maintainer at this moment is anything but gentle.
However, Nahida was not alone. Thinking of the World Tree behind her and the Tree King in her heart, she forced herself to remain calm and forced a smile:
"Supporter, I don't quite understand your..."
"Do you think you can hide it from me? Celestia hangs high, yet it is never far away; everything in this world is within my sight."
The maintainer coldly interrupted Nahida's sophistry.
Nahida bit her lip, unsure how to react. The King Deshret wasn't in much better shape; Celestia had come knocking directly on her door—the worst-case scenario, one she was equally powerless to handle.
At the same time, in a dimension above the material world, a faint sigh echoed from the World Tree.
"Sigh, instead of going to find the Descendant Anqi, she found me first? Well, not entirely unexpected."
[Meet with her.]
"Certainly."
World Tree Anqi shook her head, chuckled softly, and her boundless will instantly connected with the mortal world.
Inside the bedchamber, the maintainer's expression was icy, and Nahida unconsciously took a half step back under the pressure.
Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, Nahida's expression suddenly froze.
"Ah... you... okay, I understand... it's an honor..."
Nahida murmured softly, and in an unparalleled sense of peace, she went into the realm of consciousness.
At the same time, Nahida looked up in the eyes of the maintainer, her aura still completely different.
Unparalleled vastness, unparalleled weight, as if the world had opened its eyes before her— Anqi wasn't worried about any flaws. No one could see through the true nature of the Thousand-Person Ruler, and her power at this moment came entirely from Teyvat itself; her aura belonged to the World Tree, her power belonged to the World Tree. How could the Sustainer possibly see through her?
The maintainer was stunned, his indifferent eyes widening involuntarily.
"You... this is impossible!"
"Give me your word. With the memories of the entire world gathered in one place, it is not surprising that any changes will occur. Heavenly Principles may not be unaware of my appearance."
That's true.
No matter how much design and restriction is applied, compressing endless data into a system will inevitably create unpredictable possibilities.
Heavenly Principles may not have foreseen such a change in the World Tree, but it cannot deny the possibility. Therefore, the Maintainer is even less able to deny it, as the facts are already before her eyes. In fact, the more one knows the vastness and complexity of the World Tree, the less likely one is to deny such a change.
The maintainer's expression returned to its indifferent state.
"So, you want to ally with an evil god?"
"No, the World Tree chooses to stand by. The ownership of the sky is none of the business of the earth's inhabitants."
"Ridiculous! Do you know that Outer God are far more dangerous and less tolerated than the Abyss? They are true destruction!"
"As for how long the sky can still cover Teyvat now, the World Tree has already calculated that Heavenly Principles does not have the energy to restart the world. Since the Sky Curtain is destined to shatter, and there is no second chance, what's wrong with choosing a different sky before then?"
The World Tree Anqi, speaking through the voice of Nahida, uttered words that left the maintainers speechless.
