A bullet imbued with the power of time pierced through the barrier created by the Tree King himself and struck the core released by Naxida.
In that instant, a powerful life force burst forth in the sky above the main city of Sumeru, and everyone in the Gnostic Institute was shocked by this sudden and intense life force.
The powerful figures from all over seemed to sense something and couldn't help but look towards Sumeru.
The thought that a powerful god had been born arose in everyone's mind.
Although they were eager to learn more about it, everyone was lying low, so the surging vitality brought about by the awakening of the King of Great Mercy Tree only attracted the attention of a small group of people.
Qiqi gasped, "This feeling... it's almost the same as the feeling I get from Su Xi?"
Su Xi's origin is the power of the Elf race, and she possesses abundant life force. Now, Qiqi can actually sense Su Xi's aura within this life force.
Kurumi tapped Qiqi's head. "Are you stupid? This universe was created by Su Xi, so it must use the Law of Life that she herself possesses. The power of the Tree King is from the same source as this, so it's strange that she has Su Xi's aura?"
Thinking about it, Qiqi realized that it made a lot of sense.
Naxida was a little confused listening to the conversation between the two. She knew about the Tree King, but who was Su Xi?
From what they've said, Su Xi seems to be even more powerful than the Tree King.
Naxida was a little puzzled by this, but when she saw the Tree King actually appear before her, Naxida put all her puzzlement aside.
"The King of Trees!!!"
The King of Great Mercy Tree appeared before everyone with its eyes tightly closed.
The World Tree branch that had been broken off years ago was completely revived, but at the same time, the Forbidden Knowledge within the King of Great Mercy Tree began to erupt, and dark and emerald green auras roamed the sky above Sumeru, filling all the people of Sumeru with fear.
The sages looked solemnly at the sky above.
At first, upon seeing this surging life force, they thought that some powerful deity had appeared within Sumeru, causing this phenomenon to occur.
If the only unusual phenomenon is emerald green, they will welcome it.
But now there is a lot of filthy blackness, which is not very welcome. Such anomalies that make people uncomfortable just by looking at them, even if New God is born, are probably not a good god.
"So, have you found out where this power came from?" Azar asked.
The sage of the School of Life, Afis, shook his head.
"Strange, we didn't receive any information before this phenomenon appeared."
With the Void System, nothing inside Sumeru can be hidden from the Sages, but the power that appeared today has truly baffled them.
Who exactly can escape the surveillance of the void?
"Could it be that strange phenomenon was caused by that person from the Sanctimonious Palace?"
There were strange phenomena in the sky, but no New God was found. There was only one god in Sumeru, the Little Grass God who was imprisoned in the Sanctimonious Palace.
Upon hearing this, Azar shook his head seriously and said, "Little Auspicious Grass King certainly couldn't do that."
The device that imprisoned the Little Auspicious Grass King was developed by the King of Great Mercy Tree. If the Little Grass King can create such a phenomenon through that device, wouldn't that mean the Little Grass King is already more powerful than the King of Great Mercy Tree?
However, this is impossible.
Having been imprisoned for so many years, the Little Grass God has almost become synonymous with incompetence in their minds.
Of course, in the end, Azar still opened the void surveillance inside the Sanctimonious Palace. When they saw the scene inside, everyone was instantly dumbfounded and immediately stood up from their seats.
"The Great, Great, Great... King of Great Mercy Tree?!"
The figure that appeared on the surveillance footage is one that the sages of their Gnostic Institute will never forget, no matter how many times they come and go.
Because the Gnostic Institute was created to better follow the King of Great Mercy Tree, these sages could not possibly forget the figure of the King of Great Mercy Tree!
After learning about the situation, the six sages quickly left the meeting room and rushed towards the Sanctimonious Palace.
A short while later.
The six sages arrived at the gates of the Sanctimonious Palace. Azar barely dared to breathe, his fingers trembling as he inserted the key and opened the gates of the Sanctimonious Palace.
Why am I here?!
The King of Great Mercy Tree looked at its hands in a daze. Then, the Void System sensed its master's return and instantly connected with the World Tree's will space through the Grass God's core.
Kurumi's time travel is back to the day before the King of Great Mercy Tree's body was destroyed, and her memories will naturally also go back to that day. However, the King of Great Mercy Tree left his memories in the World Tree's will space.
Therefore, after obtaining the memories of the Will Space, the King of Great Mercy Tree immediately understood the current situation.
He glanced at the little bean sprout behind him and guessed that it was the sapling of the World Tree that he had picked back then. Then he looked at the two girls in front of him.
She knew that Yuzhi could not revive her, so her ability to wake up in this era was clearly thanks to the two girls in front of her.
Only...
The King of Great Mercy Tree frowned.
She died because there was no way to deal with Forbidden Knowledge. The only option was to pluck a young branch that had not yet been contaminated by Forbidden Knowledge and make it her successor. Later, when she went to the World Tree's space of will, she was to completely destroy her. Otherwise, Forbidden Knowledge would continue to exist and contaminate this world.
Simply put, she doesn't want to be resurrected.
So the current situation is that Kurumi has ruined the King of Great Mercy Tree's plan.
This led to the resurgence of Forbidden Knowledge. Having been contaminated by Forbidden Knowledge for so long, she had long sensed that Forbidden Knowledge contamination had now appeared outside.
"Alas, you should not have resurrected me," the King of Great Mercy Tree sighed.
This not only signifies the failure of her plan, but also the imminent arrival of disaster.
Qiqi: "Why... wait, why is black smoke coming out of your body?"
My confusion was mixed with shock.
Good heavens, the King of Great Mercy Tree has mastered the Law of Life is also a necromancer?
Kurumi recalled the plot and said, "This black aura, it's the contamination of Forbidden Knowledge, isn't it?"
The King of Great Mercy Tree: "Yes, now that you have resurrected me, Forbidden Knowledge will reappear in this world and cause enormous damage."
Qiqi raised an eyebrow and looked at Kurumi: "Can't you just get rid of all this contaminated knowledge?"
"No, what I control is time and space; this knowledge is a contamination of laws beyond my capabilities."
"Huh? Does this mean we're going to be stuck in the cycle again?"
Kurumi said irritably, "I can't solve it, but there are others who can."
"Who?"
"Patchouli, her divine abilities include the laws of processing knowledge."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to continue the cycle of reincarnation," Qiqi urged.
Kurumi: "Okay, then you talk to this Tree King first, and I'll go find someone to help deal with these things."
After saying that, Kurumi opened a portal and left.
Sanctimonious Palace, only Qiqi and Naxida remained.
Qiqi patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Tree King, my friend went to get reinforcements. They'll definitely be able to help you completely resolve these Forbidden Knowledge!"
"Really?" The King of Great Mercy Tree looked at Qiqi with some skepticism.
Well, since the other party was able to revive me, they should be able to deal with this pollution as well.
The King of Great Mercy Tree put aside his thoughts of self-destructing the World Tree and decided to give the black-haired girl some time, otherwise she would eventually choose to self-destruct as well.
Only if she dies before the Forbidden Knowledge fully erupts can the pollution of the World Tree by the Forbidden Knowledge be reduced.
The King of Great Mercy Tree looked at Naxida gently.
"Hello, Tree King of this era, or should I call you Little Auspicious Grass King?" The King of Great Mercy Tree smiled.
Naxida looked at the King of Great Mercy Tree outside the glass installation and burst into tears.
From the moment she was born, she was told that she was a god of the nation and needed to shoulder the responsibility of leading the country forward. But no one ever taught her how to do it. The people from the Gnostic Institute came to her day and night, just for some academic answers.
However, she really didn't know. She hadn't studied it, so how could she know the answers to these questions?
But every time she saw the disappointed look in the scholars' eyes, Little Grass God felt a stab in her heart. In the end, no scholars came to ask her any more questions, and the Gnostic Institute locked her in this device to prevent her from running around.
She really felt useless and unable to help anyone.
Now that the King of Great Mercy Tree has finally returned, she no longer has to face those disappointed looks.
The Little Grass God felt a great weight lifted from his heart, but at the same time, he was also very disappointed in himself.
In the end, all I can do is hope that the King of Great Mercy Tree will be resurrected and lead the country forward.
"Don't cry, your face is all messed up from crying."
The King of Great Mercy Tree turned off the device that imprisoned the Little Grass King, picked her up, and wiped away the tears on her face.
Naxida buried herself tightly in the Tree King's chest, sobbing softly.
At this moment, the gate of the Sanctimonious Palace opened, and the light coming in from outside illuminated the entire place.
The Tree King knew who had come. After receiving the memories from the World Tree's will space, she understood what kind of life the Little Grass God had been living for the past few hundred years.
Empty, dull, and a life of confinement.
They completely lack the dignity that a deity should have.
Looking at the six sages who walked in from outside, the Tree King asked coldly, "As sages, do you remember the original intention behind the founding of the Gnostic Institute?"
Azar was instantly embarrassed.
He understood that the Tree King wanted to seek justice for the Little Auspicious Grass King.
"It's all our fault. We failed in our duty as sages of the Gnostic Institute," Azar said, kneeling down immediately.
The other five sages also knelt down.
Sage Kavaja couldn't help but say, "Tree King, we have no choice. The Little Grass God doesn't know anything and can't answer any of the scholars' questions. This has made many scholars feel desperate. We can only keep the Little Grass God in the Sanctimonious Palace, reduce her contact with others, and reduce her presence in order to slow down the spread of despair among the scholars."
"Despair?" The Tree King sneered.
"What does your despair have to do with a king? Besides, even I wasn't born with knowledge. You didn't even give the Little Grass King a moment before arbitrarily denying his abilities. Can I also assume that your despair is simply because you lack the ability?"
"Don't blame others for your incompetence, or they will only look down on you more."
"Oh, in a meeting?"
Kurumi led Patchouli through the portal back to the room, where they immediately saw the six Sages who had appeared.
The Tree King glanced at Kurumi, realizing that now was not the time to deal with these matters, and said to Azar, "You six sages should step down. You are unwilling to give the Little Grass God time to grow, and I am not willing to give you time to correct your mistakes."
"This isn't a good idea..."
"Tree King, we may not have made any great contributions, but we have certainly put in a lot of hard work."
"I think we can still discuss this."
"We've been in charge of all the factions for so long, it's not easy to find the right person."
Before the six sages could even express their respect for the Tree King, they were stripped bare by the Tree King and reduced from sages to ordinary people.
They were all on the verge of losing their composure.
They all said they hoped the Tree King would take back what he had just said.
The Tree King gave the group a deep look. "It seems you don't understand something. The key to power isn't who's better at managing things, but who has the biggest fist."
"You are just one of many generations of sages. If you don't do it, someone else will. Threatening me? Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
The six sages instantly broke out in a cold sweat, their backs almost completely soaked.
"Get out of here. If you don't want to be dignified, I'll personally show you what dignity is."
After saying that, the Tree King waved his hand forward, and the surging energy swept the six sages out of the Sanctimonious Palace.
Is this what it feels like to have a mother...?
Naxida felt the Tree King's protection of her and was deeply moved, tears streaming down her face again.
Until the Sanctimonious Palace became quiet.
Patchouli shook her head and said, "You guys really know how to play; you even resurrected the Tree King."
Qiqi: "Hehe, don't you think this is interesting? Why don't you resurrect the other demon gods and recreate the ancient demon god war?"
The Tree King nervously pursed his lips.
To be honest, she couldn't see through these people's true nature, but since they could revive her and talk about all sorts of things recklessly in front of her, they probably looked down on her abilities.
When she heard this little dwarf say he wanted to recreate the war between the demons, she almost lost her composure.
That's about enough, sis. Just revive one of me.
The Tree King thought to himself, feeling ashamed.
Patchouli rolled her eyes. "You want to be a hat too?"
San San was speechless. "I'm not as boring as you."
Seeing that the two disagreed with her idea, Qiqi snorted.
As long as she finds the corpse of another demon god, she can also be resurrected. Although her resurrection ability is not as overpowered as Kurumi's ability to resurrect someone from the river of time, she only needs a little bit of the corpse left to be resurrected.
Kurumi doesn't revive her, she'll do it herself, hehe.
Anyway, if the world is messed up, it can be reset, so what's there to be afraid of?
