Chapter 696 Witnesses
"'Witnesses come to witness'. One of the meanings of the Adventers to Teyvat is 'witness'."
Although he said he was "testing" Nashida, Zuo Xi did not give Nashida a chance to answer. After she thought for a while, he directly gave her the answer.
As Zhongli said, "Witness it all with your own eyes."
And "witness" is, in a sense, also a kind of "backup".
The descenders who are not affected by the World Tree, everything they record and observe is the most authentic history that will never be tampered with.
This is how the world should have been. For Teyvat, this is the most authentic backup.
But because there is no key between the Adventers and the World Tree, the meaning of this backup is just a backup, and it cannot be "reset".
At least Ying has not shown any inclination or ability in this regard at present.
In other words, when the Adventer has established a connection with the World Tree and has sufficient authority, this "backup" can become a kind of "reset" method to correct errors.
Zuo Xi guessed that the thrones of all generations... at least the current throne and the first throne used this method to revise history with themselves as backup.
When there is a deviation between the world and one's own cognition, it means that there is a bug in the world tree, and the throne as the highest administrator can use this simple and crude method to correct the bug.
Zuo Xi is not a throne, and does not have administrator privileges for the time being. But from the perspective of status, the only difference between him and the orthodox throne is whether he has officially taken over Teyvat.
In short, although he does not have the authority, he has the ability. The administrator probably will not allow him to do this, but he can force it.
However, doing so would be equivalent to exceeding one's authority, which is what hackers do, and the orthodox administrator might cause trouble for him.
In fact, ordinary small problems would not cause such a big reaction. After all, whether it was the Great Mercy Tree King or Scaramucci from another timeline, they both modified the World Tree records.
But one of them possesses the authority of the orthodox World Tree, and the other is a god who was promoted through local methods through something officially authorized, such as the Heart of God.
Both of them are subordinate members in a sense and are considered internal staff, so there will naturally be no problems.
Moreover, the magnitude of modification and reset is also different. One is just a minor matter, while the other involves the fundamentals.
Therefore, if Zuo Xi really wants to redeem the stupid behavior of the Great Ci Tree King by resetting the timeline, there is a high probability that the sleeping Tianli will be awakened to fight with him.
At the very least, the upholder of justice should come out and show his face.
But as he said before, he had no intention of going to war with the current throne so early... That's why he is so troubled now. This guy, King Dacishu, is really good at causing trouble for him.
"You want to overwrite the Teyvat in your memory with reality? But isn't the risk too high?"
Nashida understood immediately. When Zuo Xi explained the meaning of the Adventers, she understood what Zuo Xi wanted to do.
At the same time, she was also aware of the risks and problems that might arise from doing so. Although she didn't know whether Zuo Xi was now qualified to ascend the throne, her intuition told Nashida that such a modification might attract the attention of Heaven.
No one could have predicted the consequences of attracting attention... The desperate scene when the ten nails of judgment fell is still vivid in people's minds, and no one knows whether such a thing will happen again.
Of course Nashida is willing to save the Great Mercy Tree King, but if she were the Great Mercy Tree King, she would definitely not want them to take such a risk to save her.
According to Zuo Xi, she and the Great Compassion Tree King are of the same nature, so the choices they make at this time should be similar.
Her thoughts to a certain extent represent the thoughts of the Great Compassion Tree King, so she is hesitant now, wondering whether she should respect the Great Compassion Tree King's wishes and give up everything, or respect her own wishes named "Nashida" and save her.
“Risks… do exist, but there is never anything without risks.”
Zuo Xi touched Nashida's hair and gave her a reassuring look.
Then, the look became calm and confident...and within that confidence there was also arrogance and unruliness.
"Besides, I don't intend to discuss this with you. That guy, the Great Compassion Tree King, has caused me so much trouble. I have to settle this account with her face to face... I have decided to save someone, and I will never allow her to sacrifice herself without permission."
