Chapter 1310: Exploration, Nothingness and Existence, Determination, Mechanical Ascension, Yin-Yang

In the tree bed of the Tree of Life.

Jiang Yi touched Nashida's hair.

Gods and humans...actually, sometimes there is no difference.

They will also be confused, cry, and become weak.

"The victims' behavior was not wrong, and what they wanted was not excessive..."

"When they tried to fight against me and protect the dream, I could understand their pain and their choices."

"But is this feeling of being touched really considered...absolute empathy?"

"I don't want the Great Compassion Tree King to leave. I hold on to the last hope, but they don't."

"I don't want you to lose control. I'm going to experience life and death, but the end has not come yet."

"The scholar said this when the 'Imaginary Lover' was destroyed:"

"'Everything is gone. It was just a dream after all. I can't fight against fate, and I can't rely on knowledge. This world is really too much...'"

"The husband who lost his wife showed me the way to a deeper dream. He knew that I would destroy the sweet dream."

"In response to my thanks, he said:"

"'You're welcome, because I have no choice. After all, I am just a mortal and have no right or ability to interfere with the actions of the gods.'"

"Although at the last moment, people were determined to return to reality after hearing my words, as the scholar said in another sentence."

"'As long as people still desire happiness, they will return here and rebuild this paradise!'"

“The human heart is as fragile as it is strong.”

“I’m back in the outside world.”

"Tell them the meaning of life, the purpose of life, and why they have to go through pain on the road of life..."

"I've said a lot of great truths, and I hope people won't stop, give up thinking, and sink into dreams."

“I hope people will take a closer look at the people and things around them.”

"——Self is not the whole meaning of life. Every action shapes the self and the world. Friends and family will remember what you have done, and strangers may also benefit from your actions. For this reason, many people are willing to open up new paths even if it means suffering."

"I talked about workers, painters, musicians, and adventurers... I talked about how they work for their families, fight for their ideals, and try to explore the secrets of the world and save others."

"It's about keeping on going and the ultimate questions will be answered along the way, and the answers won't matter anymore."

"But if you think life is nothing, then it will gradually become nothing."

"In the dream... after experiencing the disillusionment and fully realizing the 'nothingness', it is time to revisit the meaning of 'existence'."

"But the truth seems to be just the truth."

Nashida hung her face in disappointment.

"No! You said it very well!" Jiang Yi gently touched Nashida's sad face with his hand.

“At that moment, the God of Wisdom in front of everyone must have been majestic, gentle and shining.”

“It is a beacon that guides all living beings back to the future.”

"Just like the Great Kind Tree King once was."

He smiled and praised: "You have fulfilled your responsibility as a god. No matter how people choose to survive in the future, as a god, you have awakened them at that moment and given them a chance to choose their future again. This is... redemption."

"Just like the Great Compassion Tree King did not give you a choice, I gave you a choice."

"In the predetermined destiny, the Great Kind Tree King will shape you with his own sacrifice."

"And at this moment I have shaped you."

"You have more human emotions and can empathize with people more. Absolute empathy doesn't exist. One tenth, one percent, is sometimes good enough."

"Even if you fail."

"You also have proof that I and the Great Compassion Tree King once existed."

Never give up existence, never tolerate - the end of nothingness, the natural disaster of life.

The six deadly sins of the Decree House have their reasons for existence.

Because too much of human research goes against its original goals and causes huge adverse consequences.

His goal is to defeat the darkness, save the world, and leave a beautiful future. However, if anything goes against his goal in the process, he will be a sinner in the world.

There should be fear in your heart, and there should be fearlessness in your heart.

Fear the consequences, fearless choices.

In order to end the evil consequences as much as possible, once things are irreversible, humanity can no longer exist, and she herself turns into a monster, then Nashida will obey the wishes of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Deletion of forbidden knowledge within Teyvat is underway.

Jiang Yi has now lost the special status of a life in another world and has become a member of Teyvat. Once all the forbidden knowledge in Teyvat is deleted, the power related to the forbidden knowledge in Jiang Yi's soul and body will instantly disappear.

Thus, it turned into a hole that was big enough to seriously injure Jiang Yi.

You can make the final move, where the gods descend to seal or... kill.

This is what Nashida's communication with the God of Wind and the God of Rock was about during the Lantern Festival.

Jiang Yi took the initiative to discuss the ending with Nashida.

In those gentle words was a cruelty that suffocated Nashida.

There is no more waiting, no more delaying.

It's time to wake up from this sweet dream of luck.

The ten stages and ten minds, the tenth stage is the determined mind.

The original fetal heart beat.

Nashida, lying on Jiang Yi's chest, heard the magnificent movement of the planet's crust, the whispers of the dark starry sky, the ethereal holy voice of the sky, and the rhythm of billions of lives on earth in the heartbeats...

The boundless melody of life, baring its fangs and claws, singing wantonly.

Draw the black staff, the emerald notes, and the dark blue major.

Sleepless night.

The God of Man and the King of Plants snuggled together and told the story of the forbidden path of exploration with the abyss on one side and heaven on the other.

For a future strong enough to overcome the darkness, I gambled my life.

It was raining in Xumi, but there was a bright moon in Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma.

The thoughts of girls from all over the world float across the oceans and continents like moonlight.

The ruthless and unrighteous prodigal son will never look back.

……

the next day.

The Bridge of Judgment.

Every day at noon, if a caravan discovered that the Bridge of Judgment was blocked by the Thirty-Man Group and the Disciplinary Officers, they would know that another scholar from the Order would be exiled to the most terrifying Dream Forest in the legend.

The reputation of the Forest King is enough to stop a child from crying.

The Little Grass King represents the beauty of the forest, while the Forest King represents the cruelty of the forest.

Especially for scholars who were exiled to the charnel ground.

Death is just a normal phenomenon in nature. The decay of fungi, the withering of trees, the swelling of corpses...it's all normal.

But once these phenomena are piled up together, they become the hell that people imagine.

The great disciplinary officer Saino personally walked across the Bridge of Judgment, escorting a scholar of the Myothāna school of the Sahavarāra Academy who had committed the six deadly sins.

Without leaving any hope for the scholar, he walked straight into the "charnel ground".

The lord of the collective dream now looked pale and bloodless.

"Didn't the Grass God say that my spirit had been punished enough? Why...why do I have to go to the cemetery?"

"I want to protest that the current laws of the Decree Court are inhumane."

I thought the greatest punishment would be death with consciousness annihilated into ashes, and being exiled to the desert village of Aru where I could no longer conduct research.

For these scholars who regard research as their life, not being allowed to conduct research is a painful punishment that is worse than death, just like ordinary people, and their entire life meaning is denied.

Ordinary people naturally cannot empathize with this. Only those scholars who have committed the crime of exile can understand the despair and loss.

Of course, today's Aru Village is a place of hope and dreams. Is that exile? That's gilding.

Moreover, all the exiled scholars have now been pardoned by King Xiao Jixiangcao and can continue their project research and contribute to a secret project.

The only punishment is that if the project is not completed satisfactorily, you will be sent back to exile; if the project is not completed on time, you will be sent back to exile; if the project cannot be completed, you will be sent back to exile; if you take a vacation, you will be sent back to exile; if the research process triggers taboos, the crime will be aggravated and you will be sent back to exile again.

The sinners laughed at themselves: "If you fail to complete your project, you won't be famous, but if we fail to complete our project, we will go to hell every day."

Every sinner can give full play to his positive subjective initiative and learn to abide by rules and morals.

For sinners, their release is to go to heaven, where they are forced to do sleepless research in the research institute.

If you make a significant contribution, your sentence can be reduced.

This is the Azkaban Institute, and your soul is in the hands of the institute's nominal dean.

The criminals had never seen this dean, but they knew he was the Forest King.

And not every sinner has the opportunity to go to "heaven". They also need to go through an assessment and have experience in hell, fully understanding life and death and awe.

Cherish the mercy of the King of the Forest! It is "He" who gave researchers a new life.

"After understanding nothingness, you still don't understand the meaning of 'existence'. Then, if you continue to understand 'death', you will know how to cherish the present. In dreams, there is no deception, and everything in your heart will be questioned."

"Also, you should add the word 'sir' when addressing the gods."

Seno's eyes turned cold and he looked at the scholar as if he were looking at a piece of rotten meat in a cemetery.

"Given that you refused to wake up in your dream and wanted to commit suicide to escape punishment, your sentence will be increased this time."

The quiet and fluorescent dream forest is filled with shadows, as if there are countless resentful ghosts and ghosts. From time to time, there can be heard the wailing cries of exiled scholars who are terrified and desperate, and who have experienced "death".

In desert legends, demons that devour human souls seem to live in trees, laughing hideously.

Only the precious humanity that represents goodness can gain mercy from this nightmare in the cemetery.

The cloud boots fell on the dead leaves.

The scholar turned around and looked at the person who had arrived.

He thought he was a sinner with the same suffering as himself, but his otherworldly appearance made him realize instantly that he was not.

"This is the director of the Azkaban Research Institute." Senor raised his eyebrows. "The Azkaban Research Institute is located in the dreamland. It is also a transit station for people to go to other research laboratories. It is also a precious resting place for all sinners. Whether you can get permission to rest depends on the director and the fungus guards in the forest."

The blindfolded dean was extremely young, holding a roll of drawings in his hands.

"Dean?" The scholar looked at the visitor.

"Little Lucky Grass King left this comment in your file."

"If...if your talent and determination are used in the right way, you may become a new generation of sage." Jiang Yi spread out the blueprint, "Consciousness is uploaded to the network, and data constructs the world and life. The research project I give you is to create a virtual universe with data without relying on dreams and knowledge."

“This project will be connected with other project teams.”

He chose this scholar as an external member of the "Digital Virtual Universe", a sub-project within the "Heaven and Earth Cage Life, Simulated Universe" project.
