Chapter 781: God's Canned Knowledge (2)
"His attitude now is completely different from when he scolded Leila in the corridor." Paimon lowered his voice and whispered to Ying, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Caesar, who was standing opposite him, raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a gentle and calm smile: "After all, we are discussing important matters. Being too strict would be rude. It is better to be gentle."
"Oh, I see." Paimon nodded in understanding. "In that case, it shouldn't be too difficult to get Caesar to agree to our request... Wait!"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something very serious. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Caesar in astonishment: "You...you can hear me?"
Caesar remained calm and nodded gently, "Of course I can hear it. From the beginning, always."
In an instant, Paimon's cheeks turned slightly red, his smile became a little stiff, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Then he decisively shut his mouth and fell silent.
The implication was clear—he had heard all her whispers and comments.
Although Caesar did not seem angry and had no intention of pursuing the matter, the embarrassment of being caught talking behind someone's back still made Paimon's heart tighten, as if a deer was running around in panic.
He shouldn't hold a grudge and will find an opportunity to take revenge in the future, right?
Paimon thought to himself.
【Being caught talking bad about someone behind their back.jpg】
This is the result of talking nonsense.
【Little Paimon needs to learn this lesson. 】
Seeing Paimon remain silent, Caesar chuckled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to Ying and asked in a calm tone:
"Mingyuan asked you to come and find me. I don't know why. Why don't you tell me straight away?"
Ying nodded slightly, and then told him everything she had experienced in Port Omos, as well as the whole process of Ming Yuan's suggestion that they come to find the little auspicious grass king, without reservation.
After a long moment, he slowly lowered his hands, groaned softly, and with a slightly fixed gaze, he slowly spoke, "You mean—you, and the little fellow beside you…"
Caesar's gaze fell on Ying and the little girl with white hair and red eyes beside her. His tone was slightly lowered. "You saw the World Tree with your own eyes in your dream. Moreover, that legendary giant tree once conveyed an incomplete oracle to you?"
Ying and Iga nodded solemnly.
"And the World Tree you saw seems to be quietly being eroded by forbidden knowledge—what you know as the power of the Abyss—and is on the verge of being contaminated?"
"The purpose of your journey is to confirm the true state of the World Tree and to discover the full meaning of the unfinished oracle, so as to understand what message it wishes to convey to you."
"To do this, you must meet the current Grass God, Little Auspicious Grass King. Only through her can you reach the consciousness of the World Tree again."
"And Mingyuan's suggestion is that you come to me and use me as a guide to build a bridge to the Grass God. Is that correct?"
Ying and Iya nodded again, their expressions solemn.
"Oh……"
Caesar responded softly, his voice low and slow, and then fell into deeper thought, with an elusive thought floating between his brows.
Seeing this, Ying whispered, "You... don't believe us?"
After all, these words may seem too far-fetched to ordinary people, so they seem unbelievable.
Caesar shook his head slowly, his tone calm but profound:
"Ming Yuan has handed over his Void Terminal to you as a guarantee. This trust is enough to make me sure that what you said is true."
"I'm not questioning its authenticity."
His gaze was as sharp as a torch, as he slowly scanned the two of them. "But I'm filled with doubt. Ever since Xumi scholars first proposed the concept of the World Tree, no one has ever truly seen its form in the thousands of years since. I don't deny its existence, but..."
He leaned forward slightly, his voice low and sharp, "I want to know, what kind of fate and qualifications do you have that allow you to step into that place where even sages cannot witness the true appearance of the World Tree?"
Caesar's deep eyes were filled with exploration and scrutiny, as if he wanted to see through Ying and Iya's souls completely.
Ying pondered for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but she finally decided to tell the truth. She whispered to Caesar:
"I come from beyond the sea of stars, and Iya..."
Her tone turned calm and solemn. "He is a remnant of information from the past of Liyue Tianfeng Marshal. By chance, he unexpectedly awakened his self-awareness."
"Later, I obtained a ray of Marshal Tianfeng's essence and was able to truly exist independently."
These past events are not a secret that cannot be told, and everyone close to him knows about them.
And in Teyvat, a land full of miracles, such an experience is not difficult to understand.
After all, although visitors from other worlds are uncommon, they are not unheard of - under the starry sky, cracks in time and space occasionally appear, and there are always travelers coming from afar.
Over time, the residents of Teyvat became accustomed to this and even showed a certain degree of indifference and tolerance towards it.
However, Iya's origins are indeed somewhat mysterious and difficult to understand, and it is probably difficult to convince people with words alone.
Fortunately, proving it is very simple. Just take out a photo of Marshal Tianfeng, and everything will be clear.
After all, Yiya and Marshal Tianfeng came from the same path, like reflections in a mirror, similar in appearance and spirit, there is no doubt about it.
Even Mingyuan, the ancient immortal beast who had followed Emperor Yanwang and Marshal Tianfeng in the Demon War, concluded without hesitation when he saw Iya for the first time that there must be a close connection between him and the legendary marshal.
Although... the relationship Ming Yuan believed in and the true relationship might be a world apart...
In short, if you want to prove it - Iya's appearance itself is the most irrefutable evidence.
"Oh I got it……"
Caesar tapped slowly on the ebony tabletop. The rhythm of his fingertips was low and rhythmic, like the drumbeats lurking in the dark night.
His gaze moved back and forth between Ying and Yiya like a cold blade, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.
"A descender whose stature rivals that of the world... plus a strand of the essence left behind by the Natural Demon God in the mortal world..."
He murmured softly, his tone filled with admiration and inquiry bordering on obsession: "Theoretically, you are indeed qualified to touch the World Tree."
Before he finished speaking, a strange and deep light suddenly flashed across his eyes, as if the abyss was whispering: "I really want to dissect you and take a look..."
"You're really funny," Ying said with a smile on her face, "but this kind of joke isn't funny at all."
Caesar remained silent, just staring at them quietly, his deep eyes seemed to see through their souls completely.
Silence spread like a tide, and a sense of oppression quietly accumulated in the small space.
"This... this is just a joke, right?"
Ying and Iya involuntarily shrank back, their voices so soft that they were almost whispers, with unconcealable fear in their eyes.
Caesar, please don't do this.
This is really scary!
