When people in several countries saw the news, they were shocked.
For a moment, the entire Internet exploded.
Earlier, the trending topics were still about what happened in Sumeru.
For example, the shutdown of the Akasha System.
But now everything was replaced by the resurrection of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
In Takumi's home, seeing all of this, Takumi felt extremely satisfied.
Ningguang came downstairs.
She looked at Takumi sitting on the sofa.
Then she asked curiously:
"Did you resurrect Rukkhadevata?"
"Wasn't she already dead?"
"Was anything left?"
Ningguang was very curious.
Takumi nodded.
"Her consciousness always remained in the World Tree."
"And Nahida is actually her reincarnation."
"It sounds unbelievable."
"Now the past life and the present life are standing together."
"Nahida herself is Rukkhadevata… and now she suddenly gained a sister?"
"If Nahida hadn't called me over, everyone in Teyvat might have completely forgotten the first Dendro Archon."
Takumi sighed.
Hearing this, Ningguang became even more curious.
"What happened?"
"Explain in detail?"
She was extremely curious.
Takumi did not hide anything.
He explained everything truthfully.
After listening, Ningguang was shocked.
"So that's how it was?"
And the World Tree had such an ability?
It surprised Ningguang.
Still, the resurrection of Rukkhadevata was a good thing.
After chatting for a while, they stopped discussing it.
The resurrection stunned the world.
People from Fontaine and Natlan also received the news.
Many merchants often brought mobile phones to those nations.
Because people discovered something—
Teyvat now had signals everywhere.
The strength varied, but the signal existed.
If one had money, they could buy a portable signal booster.
That way they could access the Internet anywhere.
After all, the satellites were already in orbit.
Teyvat now had full coverage.
Portable amplifiers became portable Wi-Fi.
Chamber of Commerce members or sailors always carried one.
These technologies changed lives.
Especially for sailors.
Being on a ship was boring.
But now—
As long as there was a signal device, they could surf the Internet and contact family anytime.
These were not problems anymore.
Though Rukkhadevata was resurrected, she did not immediately go to Liyue.
She stayed in Sumeru for now.
Nahida entrusted Sumeru's affairs to Rukkhadevata.
Then Nahida focused on studying Sumeru's artificial intelligence.
She did not shut down the system Nuwa provided.
Instead, she continued using it.
It was convenient, strengthening their desire to create their own AI.
After Rukkhadevata took over Sumeru's matters, she immediately treated Nahida like a younger sister.
Even if Nahida was her reincarnation, things felt different now.
They seemed like siblings.
Twin goddesses.
She reviewed Sumeru's pending matters.
Then she gave decisions.
First, deepen cooperation with Liyue.
Second, summon scholars of Sumeru.
They would begin advancing Sumeru's technological development.
She also issued an order:
All rainforest residents must move to towns.
Rainforest living was unhealthy.
People got sick too easily.
Preparations had to be made early.
She also pushed forward medical development.
Anything that helped Sumeru's people—
She would do it.
Her reputation in Sumeru was absolute.
Everyone cooperated willingly.
Even the desert area received her attention.
She planned to develop it too.
But that would come later.
The rainforest issues came first.
Takumi watched Sumeru change.
He could only say:
She truly deserved to be the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
Meanwhile, Sumeru's people adapted to living with terminals.
They began to prefer using mobile phones.
Phones were more useful than Akasha terminals.
While Takumi was thinking—
Nuwa sent him a message.
[Mr. Takumi, the Harbinger from Snezhnaya requests to see you.]
[He is waiting for you at the General Affairs Department.]
Takumi was surprised.
"The Harbinger?"
"What does that guy want with me?"
He stood up and walked out.
He was curious.
Why did Childe suddenly look for him?
Recently, Childe had been running to Zhongli's teahouse every day.
He ignored his duties.
Even the Northland Bank was left alone.
He seemed to have given up competing.
But now he was looking for Takumi?
Takumi felt puzzled.
Nuwa didn't know either.
Soon, Takumi arrived at the General Affairs Department.
He saw Childe sitting in the reception room.
Childe looked different.
He no longer had his usual sharp aura.
Instead—he looked like a salted fish.
Seeing this, Takumi's face filled with question marks.
Was this really Childe?
Did someone possess him?
"Yo~!"
"Takumi, you're here."
Childe waved immediately.
His demeanor shocked Takumi.
"What's wrong with you?"
"How did you end up like this? Planning to retire?"
What was with this defeated attitude?
Childe scratched his head.
"Well… how should I say this?"
"It's complicated."
"I'll tell you another time. I came today to discuss something else."
Takumi was speechless.
"Follow me."
He turned toward his office.
Takumi grew even more curious.
What happened to this man?
What could have hit him so hard?
Takumi was itching to know.
But Childe clearly hadn't come to talk about that.
First, Takumi needed to hear what Childe wanted.
