Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

Chapter 832: The Second Reincarnation (2)

"So, our mission is to guide him to awaken—to make him realize that everything before him is just a projection of a dream."

After realizing this key clue, Ying and his group immediately split up and embarked on a journey to find the owner of the mysterious dream of "Infinite Reincarnation of the Flower God's Birthday Festival".

In the end, only Nashida, Yiya, Mingyuan and Mengjian Yue Ruixi were left at the scene.

They have different responsibilities and cannot leave easily.

Nashida sits quietly in the center, gently but firmly guarding the souls of those who are in mental distress due to the demon scale disease.

She used the power of the Grass God to maintain their consciousness, ensuring that when each dream cycle restarted, these spirits would not be scattered throughout the dream due to the interest of the dream cycle;

Ming Yuan sat cross-legged, a pale blue immortal energy flowing through his body, slowly seeping into each patient's body like a spring breeze and gentle rain. It suppressed the erosion and pain brought by the demonic scale disease, maintaining the delicate balance between life and strength.

Iya holds the Fire of Nirvana in his hand, and the dancing red flame has the power to purify all disasters.

He can manipulate fire to suppress the spread of disease, while keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings to prevent any unexpected situation from disrupting this tranquility;

In the dream, Yue Ruixi closed her eyes and concentrated, with her hands lightly placed on Mingyuan's shoulders, using secret methods to build a solid spiritual connection -

She is like a bridge, maintaining the deep connection between Mingyuan and this dream world, ensuring that the immortal can always stay here and not be excluded by the dream.

The four of them each perform their duties and cooperate with each other seamlessly, just like stars in orbit, none of them can be missing.

Because of this, the task of finding the master of the dream can only be entrusted to the four companions Ying, Paimon, Kuki Shinobu and Arataki Ichito.

At this moment, Iya gently hugged Nashida beside him, raised his little face, and asked with a hint of confusion in his childish voice:

"Sister, I have a question for you."

Nashida smiled slightly, her tone gentle but slightly apologetic:

"If it's about the dream master, I'm sorry, I can't help you personally right now."

"If the Great Compassion Tree King were still alive, there might be a chance of recovery."

Iya waved his hands quickly, shaking his head like a rattle:

"No, no! It's not about the dream..."

"It's about Brother Caesar."

"I've never quite understood his actions at the Flower Goddess Festival that night."

Nashida chuckled and ruffled His soft hair, then asked softly, "Oh? What confuses you?"

Yiya turned his gaze towards Mingyuan, who was slowly releasing ice mist not far away with a solemn expression, and whispered:

"Look, Brother Mingyuan can precisely control the output of the ice element, which can injure the enemy without harming innocent people."

"Logically speaking, Brother Caesar's strength is no less than his, so he should be able to control it with ease, right?"

"But that night..." Iya recalled the scene - Caesar roared and punched, the ice exploded, and the great sage was severely injured in one blow. The violent ice element instantly froze the entire stage, forcing the celebration to be interrupted.

"He could clearly control the force so that the annoying great sage would only be seriously injured and not die..." Iya said this in a serious tone.

Nashida was quick to act and gently covered His mouth, scolding Him softly, "Shh—children, don't say words like death casually, understand?"

"Oh~" Yiya stuck out his tongue and nodded obediently, then changed his words, "I mean... he can control the power of his fist and leave that annoying great sage with only one breath left. Why not control the escaping ice element as well?"

He sighed, his eyes revealing deep regret:

"The Flower Goddess Festival ended prematurely, and I didn't even get to see Sister Nero perform the Flower Goddess Dance... I still feel such a pity."

Nashida smiled gently, a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes, and her voice was like a breeze blowing through my heart:

"As you said, Caesar and Mingyuan are equally powerful. So why can't Caesar do what Mingyuan can do?"

Having inherited Jun Bai's extraordinary wisdom, Yiya naturally would not misunderstand the profound meaning of her words.

He was slightly startled, his pupils trembling, and blurted out: "Sister...you mean, Brother Caesar...did it on purpose?"

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the silence.

If it wasn't intentional, how could Caesar, with his ability to control ice, have made the entire stage instantly frozen in frost on the night of the Flower Goddess' birthday?

But the fact is that the ice covers the dancing steps and freezes the singing.

The only explanation is that Caesar did it on purpose.

Nashida nodded slowly, her expression as calm as a lake, as if she had already seen through the trajectory of fate.

Yiya frowned and asked in confusion, "But... it doesn't seem to benefit him. And I remember it was your birthday, sister. As your most loyal sage, why did Brother Caesar ruin this ceremony with his own hands?"

Nashida's lips curled up slightly, her smile gentle yet profound: "Yes, that is my birthday."

"Because of this, I am even more certain that Caesar would never rashly ruin my festival unless there was an absolutely necessary reason."

Her gaze was cast into the distance, as if passing through the curtain of time: "In fact... that scene was personally instructed by me."

"Ah?" Iya opened his eyes wide in shock and asked in disbelief, "Sister, why did you want to end your own birthday celebration with your own hands?"

Nashida closed her eyes, memories flooding back. After a moment, she opened them again, her voice low and solemn: "I am the Seventh Archon of Xumi, the Grass God who wields wisdom and power."

"And wisdom—or, rather, the divine power from the World Tree—gives me a unique ability: I can hear the deepest voices in people's hearts and glimpse the secrets they are unwilling to speak."

"When I channeled this power into that great sage, his true purpose became clear."

Her tone grew increasingly serious. "He attempted to harness the power of the void, quietly harvesting the dreams of Xumi's people during this endless cycle of the Flower God's Birthday Festival, and absorbing their precious 'knowledge and energy.'"

"I don't know what he intends to accomplish by amassing such a vast amount of 'knowledge,' but my intuition tells me that it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe powerful enough to overturn the very foundations of Xumi."

"I cannot stand idly by and allow him to drag this land into an abyss of no return."

"Therefore, I secretly instructed Caesar to try to interrupt this ceremony. Only by breaking the cycle of the ritual can we gain precious time and stop his conspiracy."

Iya suddenly realized and murmured, "I see... That's why he froze the entire stage. Once the dancers can no longer perform the 'Dance of the Flower Goddess', the festival will be forced to end."

"This seemingly sudden attack is actually a key move planned by you and Caesar."

"But the Flower God's Birthday Festival eventually began a cycle..." Iya's eyes showed deep confusion. He looked at Nashida with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Nashida nodded gently, a look of helplessness and heaviness crossing her brow. "Caesar and I ultimately underestimated the Great Sage's preparations for this matter. He had already laid a tight net, silently initiating this dream cycle and engulfing us all."

Her tone became more serious: "What's even more surprising to me is that he actually set up layers of defense in advance—"

"Not only will they block the exit from the dream, but they will also block me, Caesar, and anyone else who might be the first to notice anything unusual."

"We are all separated into separate dreams, unable to communicate with each other, let alone work together to break the deadlock."

A soft sigh escaped her lips, like the wind blowing through the quiet treetops: "Alas... Even if I am the god of wisdom, without the power to support my wisdom, I am like a skilled cook without rice. I can't cook."

Nashida's eyes flickered slightly, and ripples appeared in her heart.

She knew very well that if she had a companion as powerful as Caesar by her side, the situation would not be so passive.

Even if it was just one person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her, she could find a way to crack it with the help of the Wisdom Residence, without having to wait for Ying and her group to accidentally uncover the truth before she could come to them.

If Caesar was by her side, she wouldn't even have to trace the source of the dream herself, she could try to shake the foundation of the entire dream.

She has the wisdom to see through everything and can deduce a method to break a dream without even dreaming;

But she had no power to implement this strategy and could only be trapped in this illusory world, watching in vain.

She suddenly understood that the reason why King Dacishu left Caesar to assist him was perhaps because he had foreseen the situation today - wisdom needs strength as wings to truly soar above destiny.

After hearing all the reasons, Yiya sighed with regret, his eyes full of regret: "I see... That's really sad."

He murmured softly, as if to himself, "Sister Nilu must be very sad... She had been so full of anticipation, wanting to present the most beautiful dance for you at the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival."

Hearing the name, Nashida's expression froze, as if something deep within her heart had been struck. After a moment, she spoke slowly, her voice soft but clear, "Actually... there's another reason."

She raised her eyes, her gaze seeming to penetrate the mists of time and space. "When I read the memories of the great sage, I also inadvertently touched the deepest voice of the girl named Nilu."

“She gave everything she had to that day.”

"Day after day, she practices the Flower God's Dance, striving for perfection in every movement, just so that on the day of the birthday festival, she can present the most perfect posture to me and every citizen of Xumi City."

"She gathered all her faith into one breath, supporting her body and soul, and vowed to complete this sacred offering."

"If it were just this obsession, that breath would be enough to support a performance that would astonish everyone."

"However... at that moment, the Great Sage suddenly appeared and announced that he would end the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival prematurely."

"At that moment, Nilu's heart began to be in turmoil. Her mind collapsed, and the aura that supported her also collapsed."

"The pressure that had been suppressed for so long burst out like a flood, and it could no longer be contained."

"On the surface, she remained as calm as ever, but her heart was already in turmoil."

"Dancing in this state, mistakes are almost inevitable."

"Just imagine, under the watchful eyes of all the people of Xumi, in front of the god she reveres most, something goes wrong..."

"That would not only be a failure of performance, but also a collapse of the soul."

"She might fall into endless self-doubt, never be able to straighten her spine again, or even lose the courage to dance forever."

Nashida's voice gradually deepened, filled with deep pity and determination. "I don't want to see such a tragedy happen. She is my most devout believer, so even if this is my celebration, I must stop it."

"So, I let Caesar take action."

"Even if it means—aborting my birthday."

--Reality

In Silver Wolf's live broadcast room, the light fell softly, illuminating her focused face.

"Clap clap clap..."

Crisp applause echoed in the room, with a hint of playfulness but full of sincere admiration.

"Beautiful, really beautiful!"

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes fixed on Nashida's every move on the screen: "Isn't this character's writing very well-written?"

"MiHoYo, look at this. Isn't it possible to create characters that resonate with the audience without relying on hair extensions?"

Silver Wolf chuckled, a hint of relief and appreciation in his tone.

At this moment on the screen, Nashida's words and actions in the plot are perfect, even brilliant.

After realizing the conspiracy of the Great Sage, even during the joyous moment of her birthday celebration, she asked Caesar to stop the ceremony and buy time to rush to the front line of the crisis to solve the problem.

Although they ultimately failed to prevent the plan from being launched, their decisiveness and responsibility were moving enough.

He even took care of Nilu's feelings at this time.

What's even more rare is that after being forced into the cycle of reincarnation, her first reaction was not to protect herself or become confused, but to immediately start a rescue.

Save those patients with demonic scale disease who may be on the verge of death due to the infinite loop, and even find ways to pass the warning to the distant port of Omos to inform Mingyuan.

When facing ordinary believers, she always maintains gentleness and compassion, doing her best to calm their emotions and provide spiritual comfort.

Although limited by his own power, he cannot completely reverse the situation and resolve all disasters personally, but this series of actions, showing his calmness in the face of danger and his concern for all living beings, have vividly outlined the image of a god with extraordinary wisdom and deep benevolence.

Calm yet warm, and full of compassion.

——Digression

The 3.0 content will probably be finished tomorrow.

Water down the word count.

The next arrangement is to conclude the 3.0 main storyline, and then follow it with a side story. Currently, we plan to complete the follow-up to the main storyline of the Abyss.

It's probably about the love-hate relationship between Lei Jian and Shenshen Nizuru.

After writing the extra chapter, I will not go into the preview or daily life, and then directly enter the main storyline of version 3.1.

This time she will not be wanted and Nashida will not go to jail.

In contrast, Caesar will be banned and imprisoned in the same version as the Doctor and the Drifter.

The final version 3.2 will burn trees, that’s it, I’ll go to sleep first.

There's still some water in the text. I can only say it's my own fault. I'm so sleepy but still have to type. Of course I'll be sleepy.

I will try to arrange my time more reasonably in the future so that I don’t have to stay up late at night to write.
