“I understand, Lord Lin Mo,”
The Great Sage Tree King quickly grasped the meaning behind Lin Mo's words.
It's like how ordinary humans view deities. They think deities are above it all, devoid of desires.
In reality, that's not the case.
It's just that humans don't fully understand deities and that's why they think so.
Previously, the Great Sage Tree King viewed Lin Mo, the very embodiment of Celestia, in a similar manner.
After all, in the past, they, the Seven Original Rulers of the World, barely had the chance to even speak a few words to Celestia.
Therefore.
From the perspective of the Seven Original Rulers of the World, they only knew that Celestia was a powerful existence that reigned supreme over everything on the continent of Teyvat.
As for Celestia's personality, they had little understanding.
This resulted in a layer of haziness clouding their perception of Celestia.
Then, the Great Sage Tree King took graceful and nimble steps forward.
He ascended the long steps, moving slowly.
Following Lin Mo's instructions, the Great Sage Tree King began to massage his shoulders, "Lord Lin Mo, is the pressure alright?"
“Hmm...”
Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the Great Sage Tree King's massage service.
It must be said, it felt really good.
.....
In the chat room.
Everyone chatted about a lot of things, but the next trial that countless people eagerly awaited, didn't come for a long time.
However, just as everyone was complaining in the chat room.
The giant screen in the sky suddenly came to life again.
It was still the throne in the sky.
Only this time.
Beside Celestia Lin Mo, there was a tall, voluptuous figure.
It was the Great Sage Tree King.
But no one could recognize him.
After all, the Great Sage Tree King they saw in the video just now had the exact same appearance as Nahida.
It was similar to the Wanderer.
All of the Great Sage Tree King's memories were wiped from the World Tree.
Therefore, no one remembered what the Great Sage Tree King looked like before.
Everything about the Great Sage Tree King, up until the moment Lin Mo pulled him from the Geo veins, was only recorded by the World Tree.
However, just looking at the Great Sage Tree King's appearance.
Some people were already starting to guess his identity.
Raiden Shogun: "Lord Lin Mo, who's that beside you...?”
Yae Miko: "Is that the Great Sage Tree King, the first God of Wisdom in Sumeru? Looking at this attire and appearance, it seems quite similar."
Lumine: "Although I've never seen the Great Sage Tree King's true form, my intuition tells me that the one next to Celestia must be the Great Sage Tree King."
Paimon: "Is that the Great Sage Tree King? They're so pretty!"
Venti: "Heh, I told you, since Celestia stripped the Godhood of the little Dendro Archon, they would definitely arrange a new God for Sumeru.”
Sumeru: "If it really is the Great Sage Tree King, that would be great."
Tighnari: "If the Great Sage Tree King returns to lead the Akademiya, then that ‘Ahat’ fellow, the fake God Wanderer, would be expelled from the Akademiya and Sumeru."
Wanderer: "Hmph, it's not like I want to stay in the Akademiya. If it weren’t for the little Dendro Archon relentlessly trying to recruit me, and that I also had nowhere to go, I wouldn't want to stay in this prison-like Akademiya."
Sumeru: "A war criminal should be locked in prison. You haven't atoned for the crimes you committed in Sumeru. When the Great Sage Tree King returns, I will implore them to judge you!"
Doctor Dottore: "I think you don't have to be so hasty, General Sumeru. He might not be able to escape Celestia’s judgment."
Wanderer: "I don't know if Celestia will judge me, but I do know that Celestia will definitely judge you, Dottore! Hahahahaha!"
Doctor Dottore: "Then, let us wait and see."
Sumeru: "Doctor...you are also a sinner of Sumeru. The God-making project was headed by you and Azhdaha."
Diluc: "He is not just a sinner of Sumeru!"
Doctor Dottore: "It seems that quite a few people harbor resentment towards me, but an elephant doesn't care how ants bite at its feet."
At this moment.
Lin Mo in the giant screen gently waved his hand.
The Great Sage Tree King immediately understood and then spoke slowly, saying, "People of Sumeru, I am the Great Sage Tree King. Celestia has appointed me as the God of Wisdom of Sumeru. After Celestia's judgment ends, I will choose a time to return to Sumeru City and lead the Akademiya."
Before, everyone was only speculating about the Great Sage Tree King’s identity.
With the Great Sage Tree King personally confirming his identity, it was finally confirmed.
Sumeru: "That's great, it's really the Great Sage Tree King!"
Alhaitham: "This way, the Akademiya won’t be torn apart by power struggles due to the loss of their God and the uncertainty of the next Grand Sage."
Dehya: "Although we have forgotten the past of the Great Sage Tree King, this God, their return should be a good thing."
At the same time.
Sumeru City, Aaru Village, Khamri'ah...
And every corner of Sumeru where humans lived.
Almost everyone cheered and celebrated.
The unqualified Lesser Lord Rukkhadevata was permanently confined to the Palace of Alcazarzaray. The Great Sage Tree King who, along with the Scarlet King, had won the Archon War, established Sumeru City, formed the Akademiya.
He imparted knowledge and wisdom to the people of Sumeru and even died to fight against the Abyss.
Today, they have returned.
This is a great thing to celebrate for any resident of Sumeru.
At this moment.
Lin Mo on the Celestia felt a surge of joy from the emotionally charged people of Sumeru.
This is the connection of the heart, between Celestia, and humanity.
As long as the humans of Teyvat feel happy, they will be joyous.
.......
On the other side.
Inazuma City, Tenshukaku.
"Oh, Ei, it seems you were wrong. Celestia really will resurrect dead Gods.” Yae Miko joked.
“........”
"Then, can my elder sister be resurrected?" Raiden Shogun was very restless at this moment.
After all.
Having witnessed the resurrection of a dead God with her own eyes, it was difficult for her to maintain her composure.
If it weren’t for the death of Raiden Makoto five hundred years ago in Khaenri’ah, she wouldn't have shut herself off in the Plane of Euthymia for five hundred years.
"From the perspective of possibility, it's definitely possible."
Yae Miko said, "The question is, what reason would Celestia have to resurrect Makoto? Unless..."
"Hm?"
Raiden Shogun's brow furrowed, "Are you saying that if I die, Celestia will resurrect my elder sister?"
"Of course."
Yae Miko nodded, smiling.
Then, Raiden Shogun immediately pulled out the Musou no Hitotachi from her chest.
Seeing this.
Yae Miko widened her beautiful eyes, hurriedly stopping Raiden Shogun, "What are you trying to do, my Ei! Can't you tell I'm joking?"
"If you really want to ask Celestia to resurrect Makoto, you can pick a free time and go to Celestia and ask them. Maybe Celestia will agree out of kindness?"
