"Won't you stop him? He will die if he goes there!"
"I don't think that's the look of someone who's ready to die," Rukkhadevata said softly, her emerald eyes fixed on the seed in her hand, her mind flashing back to what had happened before—
After obtaining the forbidden knowledge from her, the adventurer named Yilan was indeed not corroded by the toxin of knowledge, but he was unable to decipher the information contained within it.
In his words, the addition of mysticism was not enough.
It was like an elementary school student reading a high school textbook — he knew every word, but when they were put together, he had no idea what it was talking about.
"But you also see hope, don't you? You don't have to rush to commit suicide. Maybe I can save you in the future."
He said this to himself, his eyes full of brilliance, as if nothing could stump him.
How could a person with such eyes seek his own death?
Before leaving, he returned the seed to her — the seed that contained the true soul of Raiden Makoto.
Being entrusted with something very important, and given the hope of living, the Great Compassion Tree King, Buye, was overwhelmed with thoughts for a moment.
"You seem to trust him a lot, even though this is just the first time you met him."
"To be precise, it was the second time. Before that, I turned into a flying bird and observed him from a distance."
Rukkhadevata paused, a puzzled look appearing on her soft face:
"You seem a little unhappy?"
"Kissing," Raiden Makoto said with some anguish. "You actually kissed someone you met for the second time."
"Any questions?"
The voice of the Great Compassion Tree King was very ethereal.
Her lips, as soft as cherry blossoms, gently opened and closed, and the air she exhaled carried the scent of flowers.
She patiently explained:
"At that time, I didn't have much time left, and I didn't have much elemental power left. So her suggestion of exchanging body fluids to gain knowledge was reasonable in my opinion.
Moreover, exchanging body fluids has been the fastest way to transfer knowledge since ancient times.
Although it was the first time I did that with someone, the effect was quite good."
"But he's a man!"
"—Ah?!"
[On the 40th day, you seal Raiden Makoto's soul. Then, as the world's Raiden Makoto, you will die in Khaenri'ah, and afterward with Ei's puppet-making technology, she will surely be able to create a suitable body for Makoto — a world where no one will be hurt will be created. This is your original plan.]
[With the addition of the Great Compassion Tree King, your plan is further improved.]
[Compared to the Dream world, the seed that
Rukkhadevata gave you is obviously more suitable for nurturing the soul. It can also be used as a core when making a doll. Although it would be very useful to you, you can't bring it out of the simulator anyway, so you don't care about it.]
[On the contrary, with the help of Rukkhadevata, the true soul can be well protected before Ei arrives.]
[However, in order to allow Rukkhadevata, who was almost exhausted, to have enough strength to protect the true soul, you also gave the vitality of your body to Rukkhadevata.]
[You traded your own life, which was about to end, for true safety and the continuation of Rukkhadevata's life. In your opinion, this is a good deal.]
[Everything has been prepared. Now there is only one last problem — no one can guarantee that after you die, Celestia will not realize there is still a living Raiden Makoto in the world. Therefore, before you die, Celestia must be made to "sleep" for a period of time.]
[You stand before the Law of Heaven.]
"Enter somatosensory mode."
To be honest, Yilan really didn't want to be a tragic hero, because being a tragic hero meant suffering great suffering before death.
For example, in the last Liyue migration simulation, the team ended up suffering from the filth and erosion of the Demon God.
Although this time was not as painful as last time, after transferring his vitality to Buye, his extremely weak body still made him feel very uncomfortable.
But there was no way.
If he did not enter somatosensory mode to intervene, the simulator would only mechanically simulate according to the set route, and it would be difficult to guarantee whether he could achieve the desired result.
"Let me personally bring this simulation to a successful conclusion."
Yilan pulled out the Dream Heart from his chest.
This sword was born from the divine power of Raiden Makoto.
Objects follow their owners — before, Makoto did not like fighting, so the sword had never been sharpened.
And now, when Yilan was about to raise the flag of rebellion against the Law of Heaven, its edge suddenly emerged from the thunder.
Yilan raised the Dream Heart high into the sky.
In an instant, the thunder caused the celestial phenomenon.
Dark clouds covered the sky, black masses almost touching the ground.
Purple thunder rolled and roared in the dark clouds.
The creatures on this land, who had already suffered so much, trembled in fear under the power of thunder.
However, between the dark clouds and the earth, in the place closest to the thunder, the Law of Heaven floating in the air remained unmoved.
"It's really… exaggerated."
The wind and clouds blew Yilan's clothes into a fluttering dance.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Only by facing this true god head-on could he truly feel her terror.
Incomprehensible.
Irresistible.
Impossible to spy upon.
Her existence seemed to envelop the entire world.
Every cell in his body was frantically sounding the alarm, urging him to escape immediately.
But he couldn't escape.
This was a battle that spanned worlds and myths.
And it was the best ending stage he had chosen for himself!
"You are a little different from before."
Celestia's cold voice made Yilan's heart tighten, but the next moment, she continued in her unique arrogant tone:
"But it doesn't matter, because you are destined to die today."
"…What an arrogant god."
The howling wind became more and more violent, almost forming a tornado.
Yilan stood at the eye of the storm, looking up at the Law of Heaven in the sky with a slight smile on his face.
"Arrogant? No, you are too arrogant. You disobeyed God's commandments, tried to elevate yourself and despise God. You committed the first of the Seven Sins."
The Law of Heaven raised her right hand, and a cube of light particles shining with purple-black light took shape in her palm.
Before, she had used this kind of cube to easily destroy Khaenri'ah.
But before she could attack, Yilan slashed down the Dream Heart in his hand — the clouds shattered, and countless lightning nets poured down like torrential rain.
"God's punishment has arrived — the judgment will be made by thunder and lightning!"
