Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 554 Earthshaking Changes

Xu Ning, still completely bewildered, recounted everything he knew about the past of the scattered soldiers to Naxida in detail.

Just as she was about to finish speaking, Nasita suddenly jumped up.

“I remember now, I feel like I’ve heard this story somewhere before.”

Nasita leaped off the swing she had conjured and ran to the corner of the room, where she dragged out something that looked like a toy box.

After rummaging through it for a while, Nasida found a small booklet.

"It's all written here..."

Naxida opened the booklet and began to read.

The booklet tells a fairy tale with monsters, kittens, sacrifices, and revenge.

Xu Ning clearly heard that the booklet contained stories of stragglers, but the fairy tales were used to cover up the true facts of the events. However, this did not hinder the narration of these events at all.

After Nasita finished reading the booklet, she took a deep breath and announced, "Very good, those lost memories have been retrieved."

Looking at Him, Xu Ning laughed and said, "You remember everything now? So, do you regret letting this kid go in and manipulate the World Tree?"

"He was given a chance to choose his own destiny, and since he has made a choice, it must have meaning."

Nasita put the golden ball in her hand into the box, turned her head and smiled, "Alright, there's nothing else to do now. We just need to wait quietly for news from Kong."

After saying goodbye to Naxi Da, Xu Ning quickly left Jingshan Palace.

He has not told Nasita that he has actually obtained the Heart of the Grass God.

Although he knew that there was absolutely no problem with how he obtained the Heart of God.

After all, Narcida had already exchanged the information with the Doctor, and since the Doctor, who was on the opposite side, failed to protect his own things, it was normal for Narcida to benefit from it.

However, I was always a little apprehensive when I was with the Little Grass God.

He was always afraid that some of the inexperienced guys inside might suddenly take the Heart of the Grass God and feed it to the dragon head in Yaoguang Pool. If that happened, his gourd would be emitting green light, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

Now that I'm out, I can tell them that I'll be staying in Sumeru for a few more days, and that I shouldn't use the Heart of the Grass God to brew wine for the time being.

After placing the gourd on the grass behind the tavern, Xu Ning slipped into the Hidden Dust Cave.

As soon as he entered, he saw a small golden ball lying on the grass. Xu Ning recognized it as a gift from the stragglers before they disappeared, supposedly containing information about him.

He casually tossed it and the memories of the stragglers into the space. The memories of the stragglers had already been given to Nasita, and the remaining one was left unattended here.

Picking up the small golden ball, Xu Ning shouted at the crowd gathered around Yao Guang Pool, "Don't use the Heart of the Grass God to brew wine yet. It'll be hard to explain to people. What the heck is going on?"

Xu Ning looked past the crowd and could clearly see the white branch he had planted, which had grown into a sapling. Several supple branches stretched out, tightly binding the Grass God's Heart in mid-air, pulling it with all its might to prevent it from falling into the dragon's head.

"That suits my mind, but what's going on here?"

Upon hearing Xu Ning's question, Qingyi stepped forward.

"I saw you throw in another Heart of God, and since its attributes are compatible with the spring where the little tree is, I was going to feed it to the Wine Spring..."

"But unexpectedly, as soon as we threw out the Heart of God, before the dragon head could even react, the little tree suddenly tied it up with its branches. It seems it doesn't agree to turn it into wine. We were just trying to persuade it here, but it seems to have fallen asleep again and is ignoring us."

Xu Ning hadn't expected this situation to occur.

As the reincarnation of the Great Tree King, the sapling possesses almost all of the Great Tree King's memories and consciousness. There's no reason why it wouldn't understand that as long as the Heart of God and the Wine Spring are combined, the sapling, having absorbed the power of the Wine Spring, will grow rapidly.

Or perhaps it directly devoured the Heart of God, which should allow it to grow rapidly.

However, it did not use either of these options; it is now trying its best to stop it, perhaps because some opportunity has not yet arrived.

"Anyway, we don't need one more, so let's leave it at that for now!"

Xu Ning ate something with everyone and then went back inside to rest.

Xu Ning, lying on the Cloud Dream Bed, couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The little golden ball between his two fingers was warm from rubbing, but he still didn't have the courage to crush it.

When the soldier presented himself with this golden ball, he said it was an experience related to him.

Xu Ning didn't believe that the soldier would go to the trouble of finding out important information for him. He had always been enemies, not friends.

Then the answer is obvious.

This task was probably entrusted to the scattered soldiers by Naxida.

What does Nasita want from me?

Based on my current life trajectory, there's basically nothing to hide. Aside from some necessary means, the God of Wisdom probably wouldn't care about things that everyone can see.

What He wants to know is the point in time when He has not yet arrived or has just arrived.

Is that secret hidden in the golden ball in my hand?

Xu Ning still remembers waking up on the beach with nothing and his stomach growling with hunger. But what about before that?

What was I doing back then?

Xu Ning felt that if he opened the golden ball in his hand, his fate would be completely changed, just like the scattered soldiers who had disappeared without a trace.

I'm becoming increasingly afraid of the word "change," perhaps because I'm starting to feel satisfied with my current life. If the change is for the better, I can accept it, but if it's for the worse, I'm completely unwilling to accept it.

I'm starting to feel less inclined to take risks. I'd rather just finish what I need to do here, go back and marry Ningguang and Beidou, settle down and develop Liyue, and live a peaceful life. As long as I can be content with an ordinary life, it's not a bad choice.

"You seem rather lost right now?"

A strange female voice, one that Xu Ning had never heard before, rang in his ears.

Xu Ning froze. A strange voice was coming from his own Hidden Dust Cave?
