Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

Chapter 694: History

"Who is the Great Kind Tree King?"

The confusion on Nashida's face did not seem fake. When Zuo Xi saw it, he felt cold all over.

He had anticipated many situations that would arise during this operation, but he did not expect that before the operation even began, a big thing would hit him in the face, catching him off guard.

What the hell is going on?

After a long time, Zuo Xi felt confused. This was even more confused than when he suddenly resurrected and appeared in the World Tree, so much so that for a moment he felt that his brain had committed suicide.

"Hmm... Xumi's predecessor as the Grass Goddess was the Flower Goddess Maritaka, who sacrificed herself to stop the forbidden knowledge brought by the Scarlet King. Not long after that, I was discovered by the sages of the Order Institute and brought back to Xumi City.

You look surprised, but this should be a well-known history... Has history been tampered with?"

It must be said that Nashida is indeed the God of Wisdom. Just from Zuo Xi's increasingly solemn expression, she could tell that the history they knew was greatly deviated, and thus that history had been tampered with.

But what made Zuo Xi speechless was that she trusted him too much, didn't she? She would rather suspect that history had been tampered with, which sounded like nonsense, than to doubt whether he was playing a joke?

"...Don't you doubt me? I don't think that's what I taught you before."

Zuo Xi remembered that he had asked Nashida to be more careful before, and now she has changed, but not in this aspect, and she has even changed worse than before.

"That's not the case. I have kept everything you said in mind... but you are willing to sacrifice your life for Xumi, so why should I doubt you? Well... rather than doubting you, I would rather believe that there is something wrong with me."

Nashida was still as sincere as ever, but what she said did make sense.

Objectively speaking, if an unrelated person can sacrifice to this extent for an unrelated country, then it would be a bit inhuman to still doubt him.

So even if we put aside personal trust, just from this point of view, Nashida has no reason to doubt Zuo Xi.

"Tsk..."

Zuo Xi smacked his lips, and was speechless for a moment. However, the Flower God was the previous Xumi God... I am a fictional historian, and this is history.

There are obvious logical loopholes, but everyone believes it.

Oh no, the myth has come to Teyvat.

"Now, I have some bad news for you. You can choose to listen or not. I will first tell you the consequences of listening or not. You can make a decision after you understand the specifics."

After realizing that there were big differences in the history between the two people and roughly knowing where the differences were, Zuo Xi was basically able to determine what had happened.

Strictly speaking, he has a certain responsibility for this matter... The Great Compassion Tree King must have taken advantage of the abnormality of the World Tree and tried to delete herself, which is why this compensation mechanism similar to the convergence of the world line appeared.

But deleting oneself is not a complete solution. Just like the original Scaramucci, the Great Compassion Tree King should also be living in ignorance somewhere at this time.

This matter cannot be said to be completely irrelevant to Nashida. At least Zuo Xi feels that she should have the right to know.

But from the perspective of an observer, she could live a good life without knowing about this matter, and it might even be better for her if she didn't know about it.

"If you choose to reject the truth, let's stop talking about this topic and continue to find a way to resolve the pollution caused by forbidden knowledge...

By the way, if you choose this option, it will be much easier to solve the forbidden knowledge. I can guarantee that."

If Nashida doesn't want to know the truth, Zuo Xi will treat this tampered history as the real history, and then let nature take its course to solve the pollution of forbidden knowledge.

Of course, he also knew that this was probably a waste of time. With Nashida's curiosity, there was no way she would choose to reject the truth that was right in front of her.

As for the sentence that was somewhat tempting, Zuo Xi didn't really mean it that way. But the fact is, if Nashida herself doesn't want to know the truth, then no matter what Zuo Xi chooses, the Great Compassion Tree King will have nothing to do with her anymore.

Then it won’t be so troublesome for Zuo Xi to solve the forbidden knowledge. The Great Compassion Tree King has already deleted himself, so he just needs to help her delete it more cleanly on this basis.

But if Nashida insists on knowing the truth and disagrees with the Great Compassion Tree King's approach, then Zuo Xi should act according to his original plan.

That is to say, while preserving the Great Compassionate Tree King, directly solve the problem of the pollution of taboo knowledge itself.

"...From your expression, you should have the answer. But I still want to say one more thing. If you insist on knowing the truth, this truth may not be so wonderful to you.

The god of wisdom will eventually be trapped by wisdom. Sometimes, ignorance can reduce a lot of troubles... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything.

Be prepared, I will tell you the truth you want to know right away."
