Chapter 551 Let's say goodbye here.
It was only at this point that Xu Ning realized what the stragglers were up to.
This guy agreed to Nasita's request to come here on this adventure, only to change the course of history.
"What? You're not satisfied with your defeat? You want to change the outcome?"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine with a disdainful expression, but inwardly he was on high alert, watching the skirmisher's movements closely, wary of what irrational thing the guy might do to the World Tree.
"I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, even if we go through a few more rounds, you will still be the one to fail. Not to mention how much power that Grass God outside is hiding, even the things I have hidden under my command are not something you can contend with."
"Changing history is all in vain."
A strange smile appeared on the soldier's face.
"In vain? That's hardly a convincing statement coming from you. Xu Ning, do you know who I heard the most about after I was taken out of that magnificent prison by Katsuragi, when I was with Dan Yu and Nagamasa? Haha, it was you!"
"You were never absent from the most important historical moments of Inazuma, whether it was the defense of Narukami Shrine, the rescue of the thousand boats, or the clarification of the remote islands. Nagamasa said that you left behind countless backup plans. Whether it was Lord Kitsai-no-miya or his mother, all regrets will eventually be resolved. It was because of your existence that he was always full of courage and entered the shogunate to fight to restore the family's honor."
"For centuries, I've always thought that the backup plan Nagamasa mentioned was just a self-comforting illusion. I never even considered that possibility when I heard your name. But until a few days ago, I received some information about Inazuma from the Grass God..."
Wait, what is this familiar feeling?
Xu Ning frowned, and in a daze, he felt a heavy weight on his back, as if he had accidentally carried a huge black pot on his back.
The soldier smiled at Xu Ning's expression, "...It is said that the priest of Narukami Shrine from hundreds of years ago has been reborn. The current priest, in order to break free from the shackles of Narukami Shrine, runs a bookstore and forcibly resigns to return power to the former priest. After their argument failed, they fought and finally decided to settle it with a contest of eating fried tofu. The result is unknown..."
Xu Ning was speechless. These two scoundrels were really not low-key at all; they had embarrassed themselves on the international stage.
"There's also the rumor that Balzebu hosted a banquet to mediate between the two palace priests, but during the banquet, he actually made advances towards a handsome young man. As a result, the young man chased after him with a sword. The god was not angry at all, saying that he didn't care at all, and hadn't cared about anything hundreds of years ago either. He took the opportunity to restore the honor of the Yuko family. However, one of His generals has been waiting for seven days with his bow on a cherry tree on Shadow Mountain, and the outcome is unknown..."
Xu Ning looked at the mischievous look on the soldier's face and thought to himself that the news must have been different when it first came out. This little black guy must have changed the news report. What do you mean by touching a boy? I'm afraid Aying couldn't resist trying to get close to Chiyo and got killed. But Tengu General, are you staking out your general's friend?
"Although I still don't know how you left your mark on the river of history, since you can change the course of history, I can naturally achieve the same effect by using the power of the World Tree..."
Xu Ning sighed. "Damn it, can you please stop blaming me for every bad thing you do? It hurts you guys so much, you know?"
What kind of effect do you want to achieve?
The soldier held up the orb of light that held the memory from earlier. "You saw it. Back in Tabusha, I was fooled by the craftsman who was actually the doctor. Not only did I fail my friend's trust, but I was the one who dragged them down from the very beginning. They are the only group of people I have ever wronged in this world. They shouldn't have died like this. I want to save them."
Xu Ning shook his head. "They were just ordinary people, and they were people from hundreds of years ago. Even if they hadn't died because of your incident, other disasters would have struck, such as being corrupted by evil spirits or experiencing construction accidents. Even if they had survived by chance, they would still be dead by now. Why bother with that futile effort? For them, perhaps your well-being is the best consolation for their deaths."
Upon hearing Xu Ning's persuasion, the straggler sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting people. But my mind is made up. Don't worry, I know that as long as I live, the Doctor and the others might still try to harm them, but once I disappear, they will be safe."
Xu Ning shook his head again, thinking of how the Great Compassion Tree King had been trapped in the world for so many years.
"It's no use. You can't delete yourself. It's a paradox. If you really want to do it, you might as well ask Nasita. Maybe she can help you delete yourself completely."
After carefully considering Xu Ning's words, the soldier nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. In that case, we can only settle for second best..."
Before he could finish speaking, the stragglers' bodies suddenly became ethereal.
Xu Ning was suddenly startled. He hadn't expected the scattered soldiers to be so resolute, modifying the World Tree without hesitation.
"Xu Ning, don't worry, I will erase my existence in this world. Even if I can't disappear completely, no one will remember me, and naturally no one will be hurt because of me. Even you will soon forget that you were ever here with me, so you won't be considered negligent, haha."
Xu Ning curled her lip. "I should thank you for considering me. If you have such ability, why don't you just erase the doctor? Why do you have to focus on yourself?"
Mentioning the Doctor, the skirmisher grinned maliciously. "Dottore? That's too easy on him. No matter what form I take, I will definitely seek revenge on him."
"In addition, to thank you for your tip, I've left you a backup as well. This is also information that Nasita asked me to look up, about your background..."
Xu Ning was startled. My background?
How is the World Tree recorded?
A tiny bud sprouted, topped with a small golden ball.
"This information is very interesting. I don't know whether you will be excited or regretful after reading it. The decision is yours. Well then, goodbye."
The figures of the skirmishers began to blur and disappear, while at the same time, the shouts of Kong and Paimon outside became clearer.
Xu Ning reached out and grabbed the golden ball in his hand, but did not open it.
"...Are you there? Xu Ning, can you hear me?"
“I heard you, Nasita.”
"I'm being blocked by some force, unable to get in. Was it the work of the skirmishers?"
Xu Ning quickly and concisely explained what the skirmishers needed to do.
"How could a straggler accomplish such a thing? Is it because his divine power has always been secretly hidden, or has he broken through his own limitations?"
