Will there be any problem for Nahida going to the World Tree?
From Takumi's point of view, there shouldn't be any problems.
At most, something strange might happen.
If anything happened, Takumi would sense it immediately.
Then it wouldn't take long for him to rush over.
The World Tree is very important to Teyvat; if something truly happened, all of Teyvat would feel it.
Because of this, Takumi didn't worry.
If there was a problem, he would take action.
After returning to Guili Plains, Takumi stayed at home and didn't go out.
Days without work were simply too relaxing.
While Takumi stayed at home, Nahida arrived at the World Tree.
But as soon as she approached, a figure slowly appeared.
"You finally came."
Seeing this person, Nahida froze.
"You are…"
Nahida was shocked. "Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?"
"We finally meet."
"The me after reincarnation."
Nahida was stunned when she heard this.
Her reincarnation?
She was the reincarnation of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?
Looking at Rukkhadevata before her, Nahida suddenly cried.
She hadn't expected this.
Seeing her tears, Rukkhadevata gently wiped them away, then pulled her into a slow embrace.
The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata explained how Nahida was created.
Hearing her words, Nahida cried even more.
"Don't cry."
"This was the only way to save the World Tree."
"Even if I died, everything related to me was preserved within the World Tree as knowledge and memory."
"As long as those things remain, the taboo cannot be erased."
"I broke off the purest branch of the World Tree and made it into my reincarnation."
"That is you."
"If you erase me from the World Tree, it's equivalent to me never having existed."
"Only then can the World Tree be restored."
"So please forget me."
"And you, as the new Dendro Archon, live well."
Hearing this, Nahida rejected it immediately.
"No!"
"I won't forget!"
"Takumi—Takumi must have a solution!"
Saying that, she immediately used her power to contact Takumi.
This was unacceptable.
Forget Rukkhadevata?
Never.
Even if she was her reincarnation.
If Rukkhadevata were erased completely, it would be too cruel.
This situation was far beyond what Nahida expected.
She thought she could simply fix the World Tree.
She never imagined this.
Erase everything about Rukkhadevata just to restore the World Tree?
Impossible.
So Nahida decided to seek Takumi.
Rukkhadevata was startled.
"Takumi?"
"That outsider?"
She frowned slightly.
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go.
At this moment, Nahida successfully contacted Takumi.
"I need your help!"
She didn't waste time.
Hearing this, Takumi spoke immediately.
"I'm coming."
He opened a spatial portal.
A moment later, he appeared beside Nahida.
When he saw Rukkhadevata, he paused for a moment.
"Takumi!"
"Can you save the World Tree?"
"Without harming Rukkhadevata?"
Nahida ran to him the moment she saw him.
Seeing her appearance, Takumi knew she had been crying.
He looked around.
"Explain the situation."
Takumi rubbed Nahida's head gently.
She was fragile right now.
Nahida told him everything without hiding anything.
After hearing it, Takumi touched his chin.
"So the World Tree is polluted because it came into contact with forbidden knowledge?"
"Like a computer infected with a virus."
Takumi understood the World Tree well.
It was a massive server.
The Akasha System was built using it as a base.
It stored vast knowledge.
"You want to delete your own existence to restore the World Tree?"
"If that happens, no one will remember you."
Takumi's eyes moved to Rukkhadevata.
She looked exactly like Nahida.
No—that was Nahida's original form.
What remained now was only a fragment of consciousness.
If all of her existence were deleted…
She would truly disappear.
Leaving no trace.
"Damn, miHoYo is so cruel."
After confirming this, Takumi couldn't help cursing.
Hearing him, Nahida and Rukkhadevata looked confused.
"Who is miHoYo?" Rukkhadevata asked.
"No one."
"Just a jerk who hands out emotional knives."
"Don't worry about it."
"I can fix this."
"Give me a moment."
Takumi approached the World Tree.
Hearing this, Rukkhadevata was stunned.
Nahida's eyes filled with hope.
Takumi truly had a way.
With expectant gazes, both Rukkhadevata and Nahida watched him.
Takumi activated the power of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Then he began invading the World Tree.
Rukkhadevata's face flushed suddenly.
"What are you doing?"
From the corner of her eye, Nahida noticed Rukkhadevata's expression and became worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Is something happening?"
Rukkhadevata shook her head.
"Nothing."
Of course she wouldn't explain.
She and the World Tree were one.
Takumi was currently invading the World Tree.
The implications were… obvious enough.
As she recovered, she sensed something strange.
She was losing control of the World Tree.
Was Takumi taking over?
Rukkhadevata was shocked.
Meanwhile, on Celestia, the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles sensed it instantly.
Her brows tightened.
But after observing carefully, she noticed it was Takumi.
She abandoned any intention of descending.
She thought it was someone else.
If anyone else invaded the World Tree like this, she would have descended instantly.
Now that she had fully recovered, she sensed every disturbance in Teyvat.
Takumi intruding so openly was naturally noticed.
She didn't know what he was doing—
But no matter what Takumi did, she would support him.
