Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 182 Knowledge of Divine Jars

"Knowledge packaged in divine containers..."

Mu Feng opened his palm, and a container shaped like a strangely shaped fruit floated quietly in his palm, the liquid inside seemingly turning endlessly emitting a faint light.

However, unlike the usual emerald green or light green color of canned knowledge, this divine canned knowledge was surrounded by a bewitching deep red aura.

Ominous, and extremely dangerous.

This was his first impression of the so-called "divine knowledge in a jar".

The eerie knowledge was like flowing dark red blood; the moment it came close, the mind seemed to be instantly filled with countless frenzied ramblings.

"The world... has forgotten me..."

Mu Feng's expression grew even more serious. The few remaining fragments of knowledge in the red divine jar once again confirmed some of his previous conjectures.

This divine jar of knowledge, which scholars of the Order of the Church flocked to, especially Azhar, contained the consciousness of the previous Grass God, the Great Compassion Tree King, before his death.

Dark calamity, forbidden knowledge, and the moment a god fell were all buried together in this corrupt fruit.

This is not knowledge, this is a grave.

This precisely explains why the scholar suffering from "Linju Madness" went mad.

For a long time, the Instruction encouraged scholars to establish a connection with the World Tree through meditation, but most meditators inevitably ended up with mental breakdowns.

This is what scholars fear most as "Linju Madness Syndrome," a condition that is difficult to cure with medicine.

The explanation given by the Church Council is that the current level of human mental strength is insufficient to reach the realm of "God".

With more training, or by supplementing it with the external effects of calming incense, one can gradually approach the realm of wisdom.

But that's the crux of the scam.

The knowledge of the gods is harmless, and the World Tree link is also harmless, but the remnant consciousness of the Tree King, contaminated by forbidden knowledge, is different.

It is true that the mental strength of humans is far inferior to that of gods or other elemental life forms, but what truly causes disasters is not knowledge at the level of gods, but pollution from outside the world.

Once forbidden knowledge takes hold, a collapse of consciousness is only a matter of time.

Once they lose their usefulness, the so-called "mad scholars" are sent to Aru Village to fend for themselves.

The immense spiritual power generated during meditation, especially the instant he touched the World Tree, was enough to create a god; this was Hazard's true purpose.

When it comes to keeping secrets, his mentor truly embodies the spirit of being inherently suspicious.

"Speaking of which, what's so special about this so-called divine jar containing knowledge?"

"It's neither good-looking nor does it have an eerie feel to it. You'd better be careful."

Sitting in Mu Feng's lap, Dolly pushed up her wine-red diamond-shaped glasses, crossed her arms, and carefully examined the bright red fruit floating in the air, her eyes revealing a hint of wariness.

Although she hasn't been in business for very long, she has seen quite a few rare and precious treasures.

This thing gave her a very bad feeling; it was fraught with danger, yet also incredibly tempting.

Just like in the forest, the most brightly colored mushrooms often contain the most deadly toxins.

Dolly's reminder interrupted Mu Feng, who was still immersed in his chaotic thoughts. He put the glowing red canned knowledge into his Divine Eye and jokingly ruffled the little girl's pink hair.

"What? This is knowledge at the level of gods, the wisdom unique to the gods. You might even be able to ascend to godhood on the spot. Doesn't Dolly feel tempted at all?"

However, the girl in his arms just curled her lip in disdain, showing a lack of interest.

"Hmph, I think this kind of canned knowledge can only fool those bookworms in the Academy."

"To me, knowledge and gods are not as attractive as a large sum of Mora."

At this point, Dolly seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked up and gave Mu Feng a soft, whiny look.

"Oh, by the way, the great adventurer Ms. Alice said she'd like to meet you sometime."

"It seems someone has a lot of charm."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng scratched the back of his head in confusion.

Alice? He remembered... was Claire's mother?

Although he is a mysterious adventurer in Teyvat legends, and a ruthless character who single-handedly leveled the Stormterror's Lair in Mondstadt.

The name Alice was not unfamiliar to him, whether in his past life or in the present, but he was certain that they had never crossed paths before.

Why did the other party know his identity, and why did they develop an extra interest in him?

There are many people in the Witches' Guild who are skilled in divination, and Mona's teacher is one of them. Could it be that his actions have caused Teyvat to deviate from its original course?

Or perhaps... it's the identity of the one who descended.

However, given the already chaotic situation, the intervention of yet another force is not good news for him.

Fortunately, the so-called meeting invitation did not specify a date.

Since that's the case, let's wait until everything settles down before dealing with it.

However, this pensive look seemed somewhat different from Dolly's original appearance.

Thinking about other people while on a date with Mr. Dolly Sango Mahabay is quite dangerous.

Even her biggest supplier couldn't do it.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Dolly, let go!"

……

On the other side, somewhere, at some unknown time.

Suddenly, light appeared in the unknown.

In the center of the light, there was a round table with several exquisite white porcelain teacups arranged in a row.

The surrounding bookshelves remained hidden in the darkness, the endless turning of pages making a rustling sound, but no one could be seen.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

One of the teacups suddenly started gushing out light brown coffee from the bottom, only stopping when the steaming beverage reached the rim.

Then, the whipped cream slowly floated out of the coffee liquid, eventually forming a letter as it drifted and swayed.

"B"

"The future I see has changed; the faces reflected in the water are no longer what the starry sky foreshadowed."

"A shooting star from outer space fell at the boundary between the sky and the abyss; it will either destroy this story or reshape it."

"Excessive intervention will disrupt the predetermined choices, pushing everything that is already decided or uncertain into the unknown."

As the serious voice fell, the teacup beside him began to swell with pale green tea, followed by a cheerful and lively sound, light and playful.

"Don't be so serious, B."

"It's not like it's the first time anyway."

The voice that spoke let out a soft sigh, "Yes, how many times has this happened?"

No one spoke after that, until the teacups were emptied and the round table was once again engulfed in darkness.
