Chapter 1400 Lesson 2, Back Problems, Another Me

"Humph! Would I harm them?" Apep said in dissatisfaction at the Oasis of Origin, "Even if they become elemental forces, they can be reborn under my power."

"What I want is not their birth, but their recovery?" Jiang Yi emphasized calmly.

"What's the difference?" Apep was puzzled, but did not object to Jiang Yi's request.

The heart of the oasis emanates a ray of light, and pure grass elemental power falls, granting the dead of the tribe who have lost their "appearance" and are left with only elemental power, the form of life.

Balls of light after ball of light floated out from the big ball of light that merged knowledge, emotions, elements and other family members, like transparent bubbles, and in each bubble was a tiny mushroom beast.

Floating grass mushroom beasts, telescopic wind mushroom beasts, telescopic rock mushroom beasts, telescopic fire mushroom beasts, rotating thunder mushroom beasts... they were born in bubbles.

Elemental life can have many appearances, but at this moment, they still chose the "mushroom beast" appearance that they had adapted to as their recovered form.

"Apep, you don't understand because every 'growth' is unique. During the recovery, we can retain the memory of the journey and the feelings for our homeland. It is a lucky thing." The Great Kind Tree King laughed softly, stretched out his hand to bring the stream of light of the grass leaves, and rejoiced for them.

Although many elemental lives are not as powerful as they were before after being revived, and some have not even turned back into real mushrooms, they can preserve these irreplaceable emotions and will not have any regrets.

And this, Apep in front of him probably wouldn't understand.

In her eyes, the essence of life is not emotion, memory, or knowledge, but elemental force.

The life loses everything in the process of growing up and turns back into pure elemental force, and then is reborn through the elemental force again, becoming a new elemental life that has forgotten everything.

This is reincarnation and immortality in the eyes of elemental life.

No need to be sad, no need to be sad.

Is that true?

Emotions, memories, knowledge, all gone forever.

However, in a sense, this is also the case with Nashida and I, so they are both similar and different.

The true practice of "reincarnation" is to remember past and present lives, so all lives can be one, and experiences are continuous and constantly accumulated.

Not being able to remember past lives and reincarnation is nothing more than death.

While talking.

The guardian of the Origin Oasis, the centipede-like life made of emerald green bananas and kelp, also revived. And after the resurrection of those "proliferating life forms", they were no longer in the "doomsday" form, but in the clean, original elemental life form.

"Knowledge, memory, emotion..." Nashida suddenly understood, "Perhaps it is this difference in perspective that dooms you to be unable to stop the erosion of 'forbidden knowledge'."

"Do you still remember the method you asked Jiang Yi that day about defeating and containing forbidden knowledge?"

Apep remembered that Jiang Yi's answer was that there were countless worlds and countless sentient beings in his body, so he had infinite wisdom and infinite destinies, and could overcome and analyze forbidden knowledge and dark power.

"Every life present has the means to reverse knowledge, memory, and emotion and release them into power." Jiang Yi was referring not only to him, Nashida, and the Great Compassion Tree King, but also to these elemental lives.

“It is because these accumulated emotions are irreplaceable that they can be reversed into tremendous power.”

"That is a mark left by time and fate."

"Of course, I don't think this is a good approach."

"It's like exchanging gold for a one-time firework, which only leaves others with splendor and regret in the end."

The Great Compassion Tree King and Nashida looked at Jiang Yi together.

On the way here, before meeting Jiang Yi.

The Mahabodhi tree king once asked Nashida a question.

Suppose, I have not been resurrected, you have forgotten me, and there is no human God in the world.

You rescued the elemental life with the unstable "Spark", causing the "Spark" to shatter when it came in front of Apep.

Faced with such a dilemma, how can you save the Grass Dragon?

Nashida replied at that time.

In essence, the "Spark" is a mass of highly concentrated elemental force. So, as long as she imitates the power of elemental life and adds her own power, she can play the same role as the "Spark".

In the end, it will probably become smaller again because it has spent a lot of energy. However, this price is much lighter than the Great Compassion Tree King saving the desert.

Now it seems that if Jiang Yi were here, he would never allow it.

No! Jiang Yi was not in that assumption... Nashida felt a little sad when she thought about it.

Therefore, she will eventually reverse the "growth" process and become as small as a blade of grass or a branch, becoming what she looked like when she was just born.

The price of releasing power beyond one's own limits is the loss of appearance, emotions, memories, etc.

Her followers, the Lanaros, have a lot of "experience" with this feeling.

This is by no means something to be praised. Every "experience" represents a "sacrifice".

"..." Nashida sighed.

The deduction of past destiny is also a game of learning and understanding destiny. It is much simpler than deducing the future.

But the result of this game is always not a good ending.

"In Kanreya's alchemy, the refinement of emotions is red, and the meaning of life is gold. In one definition, the power of darkness is distorted and collapsed gold."

“Gold and only gold can heal.”

“Knowledge, memory, emotion, wisdom, the meaning of life, and the destiny of life are the medicine that can defeat time and fate.”

"It is also... the existence that defeats the final nothingness."

"Mora gold, created by the God of Precious Gold, is the medium for the transformation of all things, but the medium ultimately belongs to these emotions, memories, stories and the like."

This was the second lesson Jiang Yi taught Apep, how to defeat forbidden knowledge and the power of darkness.

These methods have actually always existed in every country and every ethnic group in Teyvat that fought against the abyss. Although unconsciously, they all relied on these methods to survive the disaster five hundred years ago and to gradually resolve the impact of the disaster.

And this requires "sacrifice".

Jiang Yi dislikes "sacrifice", but he cannot deny that when there is no other way, "sacrifice" is the final solution and strength. He put everything he cherishes on the scales of "life and death", and won a tragic victory of "man conquers nature", preserving hope and fire, and preventing the swallowing of the dark law.

From the perspective of the opposition between yin and yang, the existence and meaning of warm light and the cold and dark universe and laws are like water and fire to each other.

And Teyvat is facing an ocean with torches.

As for Jiang Yi, he was already the sun. Even if it was still cold and dark outside, he could still protect the whole place.

The torch is not as bright as the sun but it still has meaning because every spark may turn into a new sun.

If the extinction of the universe is inevitable, then they are the "solar boat" heading for a new universe.

When "Sleepwalking through the Worlds", Jiang Yi had obtained some items blessed by the power of gods that could also be used in the starry sea, such as the Wind Wings of the God of Wind and the Mora of the God of Rock.

Through the door of wonders, feel the chaotic information of the universe, open up various unknown time and space, and throw yourself into them.

He hopes to let them travel to every corner of the universe and serve as anchor points for his descent or observation. It would be even better if they could flow out of this universe.

If we can find a new universe with a better environment, we should prepare to move with our planets. The laws of the world are different, and the laws of the universe are also different. Even if it is a road with many dangers, it is worth trying.

However, it is too early to consider these now.

Just like the previous plan of running away with all the people of Teyvat, it was just a deduction and preparatory plan.

All of this is more suitable for all forces to gather together and communicate in front of the "Throne of Heavenly Justice".

And Jiang Yi is also never stingy in sharing the knowledge of defeating the abyss.

Whether it is Apep in front of him or the law of nature.

The only problem is that theory is theory and practice is practice. Even if the theory is perfect, it is normal that it cannot be put into practice due to various objective reasons, as well as limitations such as lack of strength.

Tianli has more experience with the abyss than them, and is by no means ignorant of the existence of fate and wisdom, but everyone is just sailing on the dark ocean, driving boats and shining different lights to dispel the darkness.

Without the need for Apep to see him off, Jiang Yi opened the Door of Wonders by himself and left the Oasis of Origin within Apep's body.

The elemental life that was born in Apep's body and then wandered outside, seeking a way to save its homeland, the old journey has ended and a new journey has begun.

A place without family cannot be called home.

Home is where the family is.

We are family, and mushroom beasts are also family.

Therefore, some elemental life continued to stay in Apep's body and went through the Oasis of Origin to the vast elemental world with truly beautiful mountains and rivers, while some elemental life chose to bid farewell to Apep and followed Jiang Yi through the Gate of Wonders to Teyvat.

This was something Apep had promised himself, and since he had broken his promise in the past, he naturally did not stop them from leaving at this moment.

This ancient dragon, the "Grass Dragon King", who has existed since the birth of Teyvat, uses his weathered and stubborn eyes that have spanned countless billions of years to re-examine emotions, knowledge, and memories, things that were once considered important, but not the most important things.

"So, the ancient dragons that are close to humans have developed feelings for the human race? They regard the significance of emotions as more important than elemental power."

In this drastic ecological fusion and evolution, the original life of Teyvat lost a lot, but was also forced to gain something.

Is this good or bad? Apep is unsure.

Humans and dragons live in peace... No one is above the other, they are all just one of the myriad creatures in Teyvat.

Now, the elemental life in her body has also become a family with the mushroom beasts.

The Wind Dragon King, the Rock Dragon King, the Water Dragon King… She recalled her old friends and gradually fell asleep.

It will take her quite some time to fully recover.

Sleeping allows her to accumulate elements, but in order not to miss witnessing this world, she separated an incarnation of her thoughts, began to walk this world, and projected everything she saw and knew into the dream of her sleeping body.

……

outside world.

Jiang Yi walked along the bank of the canal.

"God of Man, King of Big Grass, King of Small Grass, thank you for coming to save me, thank you for being willing to save the Grass Dragon." The only elemental life that has retained the growth form of a true mushroom is extremely tall. It is Lu Xingyan's original true mushroom, the only individual that retained "Doomsday".

It belatedly expressed its thanks: "The Great Grass King told me that a new God of Grass Wisdom would come to find me. I am very happy to meet two Grass Kings this time."

The King of Grass at that time was actually smaller than it is now.

"A promise is made, and destiny changes as a result."

"The past of our clan has been protected, and the future of our clan has been continued. Everyone has returned home."

"Choosing to trust and wait is our wisest choice."

"We can give everything for our homeland."

At this moment, Nashida suddenly realized that her deduction of the Great Compassion Tree King's hypothesis actually ignored the will of the elemental life forms in the same group.
