Hello everyone. Rue here. Anyway I'm sure everyone is confused why my story is marked 'completed' well long story short Incase you didn't see my status announcement. Wattpad seems to be warning some writers about storys that are ongoing and some being deleted so as precautions. I decided to mark my stories completed. As the MHA stories..well I deleted those since I kinda forgot my plot on those stories.

Anyway been able to finished this chapter and very happy about it and now the cast will be watching one of the saddest scenes(in my opinion) in Genshin impact at the current moment.

Also tried the snowbreak containment zone. I did like the game play but it's not for me. But I do recommend it for anyone who likes fps games.

Without further Ado let's begin.

"Hmm I wonder what's taking them so long." Venti asked as it been quite a while since Rue and Aether were gone.

"We are just lucky that the girls haven't reacted very badly." Zhongli whispered to him. Venti nods agreement at his friend.

Soon a portal suddenly appeared in front of everyone and it reveals to be Rue, Aether and....a woman?

Everyone was confused but the same many of them blushes in seeing woman before them.

The main girls, well they immediately felt alerted especially the woman was standing very close to Aether and couldn't help but frown and look with jealousy as they observed the woman appearance.

The woman was similar to Nahida appearance. She has fair skin, pointed ears, large green eyes, and long white hair with Dendro-green tips that glows. She wore a beautiful long white dress and her appearance alone made them feel that this woman was an Archon or goddess at best.

Nahida couldn't help but sense something very familiar with this woman. Like she was related to her.

"...Rue who is this and why does she looks like me." Nahida asked as she approached the 3 with Paimon following behind.

Rue gave a small smile and look at Aether, who gave a worried look while the woman just gave a small smile and nods at him.

Rue turns to Nahida who had innocent look on her eyes, full of curiosity.

"...I think it's better you find out for yourself Nahida....here." Rue pull out green glowing petal and it flows towards to Nahida. "...This petal has a certain memory you lost....think of it something similar that happened to Wanderer incident."

Nahida eyes widen in hearing this and realized what Rue was saying.

"Wait you mean like erased memory?" Paimon asked, she was familiar with the incident since Aether did help them remember about Wanderer was Balladeer back then.

"Well this is interesting..." Wanderer said he decided to approach them.

"Yes...I'm sure you will realize once you remember Nahida." Rue said softly to the young Dendro Archon.

Nahida seems hesitant but accepts the petal and uses her powers and immediately the petal was glowing brightly and everyone watches in awe or confusion on what's happening.

Soon the green petal finally disappear and Nahida opens her eyes and soon she had tears in her eyes as she looks at Rukkhadevata.

"... Rukkhadevata!" Nahida runs and hugged her predecessor.

Rukkhadevata just smiles and comforts the small crying Dendro archon. "But...how...you were erased...how can you still...exist after what happened. Did Rue do this."

"...Yes...but I'm not your Rukkhadevata...Nahida....I'm from another timeline." Rukkhadevata reveals and Nahida eyes widen in hearing this.

"Which means..."

"Yes...but I will explain later...I'm sure that master Rue has his reasons." Rukkhadevata said. Nahida just nodded in understanding and trusted Rukkhadevata words.

Soon another portal appeared above and soon scrwams former sages and many scholars of Sumeru who look down on Nahida came down the portal and crashing into the floor.

"The former sages?...and the other scholars? Why did they suddenly appeared and...why are they shaking like leaves." Nilou asked as many observed as many of newcomers were looking Rue with fear in their eyes.

"Let's just say....many of the other watchers....decided to make an example out of them...on what happened if angry many watchers on what they need to Nahida or assist in Nahida imprisonment." Rue comments

"Watcher Rue! Please we beg-"

"Silence!" Rue shouted in authority which suprise and scared everyone while the newcomers just flinch in fear. "Be lucky the others watchers decided to give you all an opportunity to see a certain memory...a memory that clearly nobody in Sumeru but those who are innocent and believers of Nahida deserves to see."

"Memory? What's going on?" Cyno asked as he was confused like many others.

"Ladies and gentlemen....the woman who arrived with us is....the former Dendro Archon... Greater lord Rukkhadevata...the predecessor of Lady Nahida or known lesser lord Kusali." Rue revealed and everyone (except for Aether, Nahida) eyes widen in shock at this revelation.

"...Predecessor?" Ei look shocked.

"But how...I can only remember Nahida as the only Dendro archon of Sumeru." Zhongli said as he search through his memories of anything related to Rukkhadevata.

"...What a bizzare twist!" Venti said with a smile but mentally he was confused by this revelation.

Rue decided to use his powers to bring back the erase memories of everyone in the theater that knows about Rukkhadevata or heard of her.

Soon many of the people eyes widen as they realize who Rukkhadevata and immediately many people of Sumeru bow down to her especially former sages.

"Greater lord Rukkhadevata you hav-"

"Stop." Rukkhadevata spoke cutting off one the sages and everyone look at her notice and Rukkhadevata was not smiling at all as she looks at former sages and some of the Scholars who disrespected Nahida.

"I am not the Rukkhadevata you know...I am from another timeline...and I am not your Dendro Archon....Buer or Nahida is your Dendro Archon." Rukkhadevata spoke. One of the Scholars who worshiped Rukkhadevata suddenly raise up said.

"Lady Rukkhadevata we-"

"I would choose your words carefully scholar....or I would make sure....that other watchers...will drag you back...and show you hell." Rue warned with threatening tone to scholar.

The scholar gulp in fear but managed to spoke.

"Lady Rukkhadevata....why would you choose...Lady Nahida as your successor." The scholar carefully said his words not wanting to be killed or experience hell again from the hands of the other watchers.

Rue notices a tiny portal that no one notices and knows it was the watchers... listening.. waiting for any slip up so they can drag back to their dimension any of the Scholars or former sages if they dare disrespect Nahida.

Rukkhadevata soon spoke."Your question will be answered...as the next viewing will show a certain memory."

Rue decided to clap his hands loud enough to catch everyone's attention. "Alright everyone please return to your seats"

Everyone took their seat. Nahida was seating between Rukkhadevata and Aether, which confused her but the same time feel very happy as she felt like she belongs to a family.

"You know...Nahida, Rukkhadevata and you look like a family right now." Paimon whispered to Aether.

"Please Paimon...don't speak up too much I could feel the other girls glaring at me." Aether whispered back and sweating heavily as he could feel the glares from the girls.

The girls were thinking that Aether might have charmed another woman without them knowing.

Soon the viewing was shown.

The group finally arrived at Irminsul. They saw silver-white tree which grows deep underground, and is connected to the Ley Lines of the world.

"So is this the place you were talking about...?" Paimon said in awe in seeing the tree that shows the very existence of Teyvat itself. "The base of Irminsul..."

"Irminsul?!" Many people in the theater especially from Sumeru shouted in shock.

"The tree of knowledge...the very existance of Irminsul?!" Alhaitham eyes widen in shock.

"Wow....so pretty." Klee saw in awe at the beautiful tree.

"Irminsul...the tree that contains all the recordings and history of Teyvat...only Dendro Archon has the access to this....and those who the tree deem worthy....and which is none of you but a selected few." Rue said the last part to the former sages and many scholars who he deem unworthy...which is many.

One of the Scholars glare at Rue at this comments.

"You would deny us the access of true wis-"

"Yes!" Rue said with authority and fury which made many flinch especially to the scholar who protested who is now feeling the full glare of the watcher, which scared him to death.

"The moment that Irminsul is fully corrupted....all of Teyvat will cease to exist...gone like a spec of dust." Rue said coldly. This causes many to eyes widen and now scared.

"We have rights to access such-"

Soon a portal appeared behind the protesting scholar and dragged him to the portal as he screams in fear before the portal closes. They could hear the faint scream of the scholar.

"....Anyone else want to protest and anger the watchers?" Rue asked and everyone was dead silent at this.

The group continue forwards towards the tree and stood in front of the tree as the look up.

"Well, this is the place." Nahida said as she gaze at the tree that holds a memory of every event in Teyvat.

"It's the same place from my memories." Aether said as he remembers the first time seeing this place in a dream when he first visited Sumeru.

"You dream at that place?" Paimon said suprised. Everyone else as well was surprised.

"Yeah the first time we went to Sumeru and I fallen asleep I suddenly appear on that place." Aether recalls in his memory.

"Uh... we're here to find Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, right?" Paimon said as she looks around and soon she saw figure before them that looks like Nahida.

Nahida looks at avatar that her Rukkhadevata use to meet her and look at it with sadness. She felt a hand over her shoulder and she looked to where that hand belonged to and saw it was AU Rukkhadevata smiling at her to comfort her which Nahida really appreciate.

"But the one standing over there is..." Paimon pause as she looks the figure more closely.

"Is that... me...? She looks exactly... like me..." Nahida said in shock as she slowly approached the figure.

"Are you... Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?" Nahida asked with nervous tone.

The figure turns around and immediately everyone eyes widen in seeing the figure was the same look as Nahida but has certain divine glow. "Yes, that's me. Are you surprised by my appearance?" Rukkhadevata said with a smile as she revealed herself.

"I can't believe my eyes.." Aether said in shock on seeing Rukkhadevata herself.

"...She looks like Lesser lord Kusanali." Cyno said with eyes widen.

"But she has a faint glow and a bit transparent like a spirit...but how did she became a child." Candace asked.

"I think because Greater lord Rukkhadevata uses her power to stop spread the forbidden knowledge corruption that she turn to a child." Alhaitham said.

"And how do you know that." Kaveh asked.

"It was mention in one of the temples of King Deshret. We managed to discover the truth along with Rahman." Dehya explained recalling the memory of the decease priest of King Deshert about his last memory on how Rukkhadevata saved them.

"Irminsul and the surrounding lands have been reproduced here as they were years ago, but this is just a realm of consciousness." Rukkhadevata said to the group. "We are manifestations of the same nature, hence why we would appear exactly the same."

"Hmm? We're... of the same nature? Why?" Nahida asked in confusion on why Rukkhadevata suddenly appeared before them, especially in Nahida's appearance.

"Because you are me, and I am you." Rukkhadevata explained "You are me in the new samsara."

"...This can't be...." Azar eyes widen in realization.

"Former grand sage." One of the scholar said worried.

"....We have been fools!...Lady Nahida is Greater lord Rukkhadevata! She is her incarnation!" Azar exclaimed. The other former sages and other followers eyes widen at this shock and horror.

"Not the mention sealing Nahida prevented any of you gaining true knowledge and never gaining the right as her sage because the true sage of Dendro archon can be given connection to Irminsul itself." Rue explained knowing this would crush the spirits of the former sages and their followers.

"...Is that why you given me the title of First sage of Buer, Nahida?" Aether asked.

Nahida nodded at him. "Yes if anything you're the first one I fully trusted along with everything you done."

"The new samsara..." Nahida repeated in confusion.

"As Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, I'm the avatar of Irminsul, and you are the purest branch snapped from Irminsul." Rukkhadevata spoke to them as she paused for a bit before she continued on.

"Imagine it this way... Even if a tree dies, its branches will eventually take root and grow, continuing the tree's life in another form." Rukkhadevata explained using analogy so the trio can understand. "I'm merely the remaining consciousness of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. The real me has presumably died a long time ago."

"So basically they are only now talking to a spirit? A remnant of Rukkhadevata conscious?" Nilou asked. Rue nodded at her.

"But I still can't remember how could I forget about Rukkhadevata... something must happened that affected my memories of her." Zhongli said as now he remembers Rukkhadevata but couldn't understand how could he forget one of his dearest friends.

"Maybe because you became too old?" Venti joked. Zhongli just gave an annoyed glare at his fellow Archons.

"Hmm... Judging from your appearance, I've probably been dead for five hundred years..." Rukkhadevata said in a thinking pose before she smiled and spoke again. "But you're finally here, my new "self" in this samsara."

"Lesser Lord Kusanali and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata..." Aether stops as he finally realizing that both are the same with Nahida being the incarnation of Rukkhadevata.

"Anyone would be shocked by this. The one who we follow and the one we sealed...was only one being...except we disregard her current form and cling to the old one." Cyno said. He was glaring at the sages and their lackeys.

"If this is true, then am I... going to be a great archon like you someday?" Nahida asked as she looked at the previous Dendro archon with hopeful eyes.

Rukkhadevata smiled at her incarnation and spoke to Nahida. "Though we share the same nature, our fates are bound to be different. All things have their own fate."

Rukkhadevata paused for a bit before she spoke again with analogy so Nahida can understand her "When a branch grows into a mature tree, it won't be the same as the original tree."

"What does it mean master Dr. Baizhu?" Qiqi asked confused.

"Yeah. Klee kinda confused as well" Klee said Innocently. The other kids are confused as well.

"Hmmm think of it like this Klee. You are daughter of Alice, your mother...but you are your own person. You might inherited her looks and powers but you have your own personality and style and different things." Albedo explained.

"Yes...think of like this Qiqi. Some medicine have different effects but all them have one thing in common. They help heal people. They might share different ingredients but their purpose is to heal or make people better." Baizhu said as he tries to explain the best he can.

Qiqi, Klee and the other seems to understand what they mean and the viewing continues.

"That's why fate is the ultimate knowledge, isn't it?" Nahida answered

Rukkhadevata nods and smile at Nahida. "That's a great insight. Yes, very good. It's also precisely why you won't become like me..."

Nahida was saddened upon hearing this. "Really..."

"Kinda harsh." Yoimiya comments.

"But perhaps, you may become an even greater archon than I." Rukkhadevata claims as she approaches Nahida and stands before her. Nahida eyes widen in hearing this.

"Never mind I take back what I said." Yoimiya said.

"I already see a determination in you that I didn't possess in my time, and the future that it leads you to will be yours alone. Along with the blessings from your past experiences." Rukkhadevata pause for a bit before she continues to speak as she smiled at Nahida.

"Don't worry. The growth of wisdom is like that of a plant - you only need to wait quietly for the flower to bloom."

"Sadly that what not former sages and the other scholars think." Rue said with rolled eyes. The former sages and their followers wince at Rue words but bow their head in shame.

"I have faith in Nahida, too..." Aether said as he truly believed Nahida will be a great dendro archon to lead Sumeru. He has faith to the second Archon of Sumeru.

"Come to think of it, the sages never had the faintest inkling of the meaning of wisdom..." Paimon said as she unexpectedly insulted the sages of Sumeru with such a comment.

"I completely agree with Paimon." Amber comments.

"Same." Eula agrees with her best friends.

"I'm surprised they were even the sages to begin to win" Yae Miko said.

"I'm sure they are just greedy with power and managed to gain their position in political moves." Ei scoffs.

Soon many in agreement while at the same time mocking the former sages and their followers. The former sages and their followers couldn't do anything but take the humiliating words from half of the Teyvat population. If they retorts there is a chance that other watchers will just drag them and show them hell once again... something they do not want to experience again.

Rue just snickers at this while Rukkhadevata just shook her in disappointment at the former sages actions on what they did to Nahida.

Nahida couldn't help but smile on hearing this as she steps forward. "Thank you... Nothing makes me happier than discovering that the archon I always admired was in fact myself in another fate."

Nahida looked at her predecessor "It's so nice to speak with you, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. I've always wanted to meet you..."

"The feeling is mutual. From the moment I snapped the branch off Irminsul and created you, I've also looked forward to talking with you." Rukkhadevata smiling brightly at Nahida.

"And we will always support you Lesser lord Kusanali." Nilou said.

"Rukkhadevata said this herself. So I will believe you Lady Nahida." Zhongli said.

"I agree with block head here." Venti said and Zhongli just smack Venti with the back end of his spear.

Soon the majority of the people of theater voicing that they will support Nahida as well. Nahida couldn't help but be in tears of joy but felt happy and grateful.

Rukkhadevata just smiled and placed a hand on Nahida shoulder as a show of support as well, agreeing with her own counterpart words.

"Could you tell me... why you wanted to create me? And what exactly happened when you died..." Nahida asked.

Everyone pays attention to this as they want to know why Rukkhadevata created Nahida.

Rukkhadevata understands Nahida's question as she nods her head. "Ah, I see. You're here seeking answers, right?"

Rukkhadevata begins to explain as she tries to recall the event before her death. "Everything that day, even the sky itself, changed into a color like this..."

The camera pans to a purple branch and Rue notices and realizes what Rukkhadevata was talking about.

"I knew it... the Khaenri'ah cataclysm." Aether said as he finally found some answer to the event of the Catalclysm.

Lumine memories started to rush in her head as she remembers that day as she was there. She couldn't help but have dark look as she remembers and vow to take down Celestial and fate itself.

Rue notice Lumine and notice the dark aura around her. He uses his powers to remove the influence of abyss from Lumine at the moment. Making Lumine snap out from her thoughts.

"At that time, The Seven were all summoned to the nation of Khaenri'ah, except for me. I had a more important task to attend to..." Rukkhadevata pause for a bit as she closes her eyes.

Rukkhadevata slowly open her eyes and spoke "I had to protect Irminsul."

Everyone listens as Rukkhadevata talks about the event. "The disaster occurred together with the pollution of forbidden knowledge. At that very moment, with my consciousness connected to Irminsul, I sensed something was wrong."

"Forbidden knowledge?" Collei asked confusions.

"...I'm sure that all of you are familiar with Eleazar" Rue asked. The crowd nodded especially the people from Sumeru as they shuddered at incurable sickness. But it made many wonder who came contact with it why the sickness suddenly disappear.

"Eleazar is one of the effects from the forbidden knowledge. The reason why Eleazar suddenly appear is because of the forbidden knowledge getting Irminsul." Rue revealed to them which surprise everyone beside Rukkhadevata, Aether, Paimon and Nahida.

"So wait...the reason why I suddenly had that was...because many Sumeru had this sickness was because Irminsul was corrupted?!" Collei said in shock as he was former victim of such sickness. "B-B-But how did it suddenly disappear?!"

"Well that's one of theory many theories that watcher guest because Eleazar is connected to the forbidden knowledge...as for how it disappear...well it will be all reveal in the video." Rue said, not revealing more information.

Rukkhadevata frowned as she spoke again "The pain started to torment my mind. By the time I reached Irminsul, it was already displaying signs of corruption. Had I not repelled the pollution of forbidden knowledge with King Deshret thousands of years ago, I might have felt even more hopeless and lost."

"So what exactly is... forbidden knowledge?" Nahida asked the important question that everyone else was wondering.

"It's a kind of knowledge that doesn't belong to this world, and a form of "truth" that can't be understood. It came from the very bottom of the Abyss. Even I could never understand it." Rukkhadevata said before turning around to face the tree of Irminsul.

"... Something that Greater lord Rukkhadevata can't understand." Azar said in shock.

"And you guys try to experiment with it" Rue scoffs which alarm many people of Sumeru.

"What do you mean?" Dehya asked.

"Asked Alhaitham and Aether. They managed to discover what Sages and their lackeys have been doing with people such sickness." Rue said. Many turns to Aether and Alhaitham.

"We won't get to much details....but let's just say the former sages....went too far with their experiments along with working with the Fatuis." Alhaitham said. This causes many to glare at former sages and their lackeys.

Hearing all this many were just temp to kill or beat up the former sages to death but decided against it...only after viewing they plan to have their own justice on the former sages.

"The world is constantly rejecting it, leading to all kinds of bad phenomena. If we allow forbidden knowledge to pollute Irminsul, I'm afraid the entirety of Teyvat could fall apart." Rukkhadevata said and everyone eyes widen in hearing this.

"So there's knowledge that even the God of Wisdom can't understand..." Paimon said in shock at this.

"At that time, I knew I couldn't repel the forbidden knowledge with my strength alone." Rukkhadevata said as she slowly turned to face Nahida and the others.

"Which is why I created a device that compiled human wisdom, and named it "the Akasha."

"It's truly the world's most amazing invention." Nahida praises the former Dendro Archon.

"But how? How can Greater lord Rukkhadevata repel forbidden knowledge with the use of Akasha?" Layla asked as she wasn't feeling sleepy at once as she got full attention at the scene before her like everyone else.

Rukkhadevata let a small giggle before she spoke "... Thank you. For a long time, I thought dreams were the fruit of human wisdom. Though it was selfish to do so, I borrowed people's dreams using the Akasha. Then I compiled their wisdom and all of my own power..."

"I see...because everyone is linked to Akasha...the dreams of people of sumeru were given Lady Rukkhadevata the source she needed." Cyno nodded in understanding.

"Except we seen how Akasha can be used against the people. Meaning no human should ever use such power" Rue comments and many of people in Sumeru agreed to him as they learn first hand how the sages uses the Akasha against it's people.

"Well, did it work?" Paimon asked immediately, wanting to know what happened next.

"Thanks to the wisdom of the people of Sumeru, almost all the forbidden knowledge was cleared from Irminsul." Rukkhadevata smiled but she frown as she spoke again"But... things didn't go as smoothly as I thought. I had a terrible headache, which gave me an uneasy feeling..."

"And then, I remembered that my consciousness was also connected with Irminsul. It brought me knowledge and wisdom, but vile corruption as well." Rukkhadevata revealed which surprised everyone.

Rukkhadevata's eyes closed as she spoke softly "From the very beginning, my existence had been polluted by forbidden knowledge."

"...So Irminsul was corrupted...because of Lady Rukkhadevata existance....but how did they-" Alhaitham eyes widen in realization as he stops mid sentence on what happened.

"Oi?! Alhaitham? What's wrong?" Kaveh asked. Althaitham was quiet as he could only look at scene with heavy eyes and heart. Finally realizing how Irminsul was saved from forbidden knowledge and fully purified.

"Oh no... How could that happen..." Paimon asked in shock and saddened at this news.

"I've experienced that pain in your consciousness. It must've been a horrible experience." Nahida sympathizes with Rukkhadevata.

"Yes, but my feelings weren't important. The important thing was that..." Rukkhadevata pause as she slowly turns around to face Irminsul again.

"Even if I died, my existence and everything related to me would continue to exist in Irminsul as memories and knowledge, meaning that the forbidden knowledge couldn't ever be permanently eradicated."

Rukkhadevata had a sad look on her face as she looked down on the ground. "And... there's no way for me to eliminate myself. It would be a sort of paradox."

"So, I took the purest branch of Irminsul as my incarnation in the next samsara, and left a trail of clues..." Rukkhadevata said as she turned to face Nahida with a smile on her face.

"All in hopes that you would come here and remove me and my pollution from Irminsul forever." Rukkhadevata said as she reveals her true plan to everyone.

Nahida eyes widen at hearing this and steps forward with her voice stuttering "...W-Wait. No... I can't!"

"Hehe, so you realized what that implies? You are very smart, indeed." Rukkhadevata praises Nahida.

"...Lady Nahida needs to" Cyno eyes widen as he realized what Rukkhadevata was saying.

"...to save the people of Sumeru but all of Teyvat." Faruzan said as she had fear look on her face.

"...so that's what they did..." Zhongli said with sad look as he realizes now what Aether, Nahida did and why he suddenly has no memories of Rukkhadevata.

Ei and Venti finally made the connection and couldn't help but respect Rukkhadevata even more but at the same time feel sadden as such powerful sacrifice.

After All who would want to do such sacrifice and be forgotten by the world?

"Irminsul has all the knowledge and memories of this world. And as you've realized just now...Removing me from Irminsul means... I essentially will never have existed in this world." Rukkhadevata said. Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"But... this is the only way to save Irminsul." Rukkhadevata said with small sad smile to her face.

"....Erase..." Nilou eyes widen

"...from..." Dehya as she was shocked she is hearing.

"Existence?" Candace said with sad and heavy heart.

The people of Teyvat were distraught at this revelation. Especially the people of Sumeru who couldn't but to either cry in sadness or in complete shock at this revelation.

One archon (Rukkhadevata) was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the world and it's people even to the point she was willing to be forgotten while another Archon (Nahida) who loved it's people so much that she was willing to endure any pain and never giving up on them even they turn their back on her.

The sages and their lackeys as well were shock to the core...at how far Lady Rukkhadevata was willing sacrifice for the people...it made the guilt of locking up Nahida even more harder to hear. Rue was secretly amplified by the guilt consciousness of the sages and their lackeys to make them realize how Sumeru has such great Archons.

Nahida couldn't help but started crying as she remembers such words. To her it was painful memory. But she felt two hand on her shoulders and saw Aether and Rukkhadevata looking at her with sad smile.

Aether and Rukkhadevata knew how hard it was for Nahida but they were there for her. To comfort her.

"People love you so much and... and they've missed you so much over the past five hundred years. I... I am exactly the same. So how..." Nahida said as she talked with heavy sadness in her heart.

"How can we just... forget you like this?" Nahida said as she couldn't accept this.

"...So this is what realized huh?" Kaveh asked finally knowing why Alhaitham was quiet and looking at the scene with heavy heart.

"...We never deserve such great Archons...with such corruption on the human heart is...we are lucky we such great Archons." Althaitham acknowledged how much Nahida and Rukkhadevata sacrificed for the people of Sumeru and entire Teyvat itself.

"Is there really no other way? There must be something else I can do!" Nahida said with despair and sadness in her voice.

"Yeah maybe there is another way." Amber said trying to stay optimistic but Rue just shook his head which shattered her heart.

"You're the god of Wisdom, Buer. You should know that there is no other way." Rukkhadevata said, revealing there is no other choice.

"But this... this is so... cruel. I don't want to forget you!" Nahida protested with pure sadness. She doesn't want to forget Rukkhadevata! She couldn't accept this.

"...Fate is often cruel... that's the reality of life." Tighnari said with sad sigh. He wanted to save Rukkhadevata like many others but if former Dendro archon said there is really no other way...he could only accept it.

"No need to feel so sad, Buer. As someone who delights in wisdom, you should feel joy at finally finding the answer." Rukkhadevata smiles at Nahida.

"There are times the truth is hurts an cruel." Rue said. Many didn't refute his claim after all everyone is witnessing such scene.

"These are the words in their entirety... the answer you've been seeking all along." Rukkhadevata said as she looks at Aether and Paimon for a second before turning to Nahida and slowly looks up and let out a smile.

"Let the world completely forget me." Rukkhadevata said as she closes her eyes

Soon the screen goes black and flickers for a bit before scene was shown to the audience again as music plays in the background.

Everyone couldn't but feel pure sadness in their heart in the scene but a bit of hope.

"We all nestle under the great tree of wisdom" Rukkhadevata narrates as the scene shown the tree of Irminsul before showing Nahida and Rukkhadevata as Rukkhadevata approaches her.

"Peering out to perceive the world"

Nahida has a sad look before looking at Rukkhadevata who was standing before her.

"From the earth"

"And from the rain"

"We perceive its wonders until we become a white bird"

Nahida tries to reach out as she extends her hand but hesitates and retrieves her extended hand.

"To perch atop a branch..."

"And finally snap off the most important leaf."

Rukkhadevata walks over to Nahida and place a hand on Nahida cheeks before Rukkhadevata hugs her.

Many of the audience started crying as they felt heavy heart. Even Rue himself couldn't help but shed a tear at the scene before them.

Rue could hear a some of the watchers crying as they seem observing the viewing from afar.

"Once upon a time"

"I alone dreamed in this world"

Nahida seems hesitant to hug Rukkhadevata back.

"In my dreams"

"Everybody would also dream after they fell asleep"

"Wild and wonderful thoughts would emerge from their minds"

The camera zooms out and reveals Irminsul in all of its glory.

Soon a memory shown of Rukkhadevata tossed a branch of Irminsul into the air and the branch was glowing brightly as Rukkhadevata used her Dendro powers.

Everyone could only watch the memory in awe at Rukkhadevata powers being displayed.

"Some tumbled to the ground"

"And others floated to the sky"

"Connecting all things in the world"

"Into one dazzling net"

Rukkhadevata caught the branch and hugged the branch as it was a similar image to the Statue of Seven of the Dendro Archon.

"Among a plethora of worlds"

"Were numerous smaller worlds"

"All of fate"

"Finding within the tapestry their brilliant glow"

This branch is juxtaposed with Nahida, who is being hugged by the remnant of Rukkhadevata.

"I gradually understood"

"That these indescribable"

"And constantly changing things"

"Are the most profound things in the world"

"Only they"

"Can completely repel the madness"

"Only dreams"

"Can awaken consciousness"

"From the deepest darkness"

With tears in her eyes, Nahida summons her Dendro powers before returning Rukkhadevata hug, causing the Previous Dendro Archon to fade away before finally shattering into glowing green petals.

Nahida falls to her knees as she hugs herself as she cries in sadness.

Like Nahida on the screen. Many people of the thether were crying of Rukkhadevata being removed from existance and memories of her in the scene.

Nahida was crying harder than before at the painful memory but Rukkhadevata was comforting her and whispering some words.

Aether was busy comforting Paimon who was also crying in his arms.

Soon the camera zooms out and shows the glowing green petals blown towards Irminsul.

"I'm the one who posed this question"

"Yet also the one who sought a solution"

"Saving the world with the dreams of the people"

"Used to be my answer"

"And now"

"You've also found your own answer"

"And I shall return all the dreams to the people"

The green petals float over Sumeru as dreams are returned to the people, falling on various people afflicted by Eleazar or went mad after connecting their minds with the Irminsul.

The scene shown of Dunyarzad, who was asleep as green petal flew into her hand that was covered with Eleazar. The petal touched the Eleazar and it slowly goes away, completely healing Dunyarzad.

Soon another scene shown of Collei and other people of Sumeru were now asleep and dreaming peacefully

"Goodbye, People of Sumeru"

"May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams"

Soon the screen goes black and Rue look at everyone in the theater and sees many were in tears, especially the people of Sumeru who are crying their eyes out. The only ones who were not crying were Rukkhadevata and Aether, who were both comforting a crying Nahida and Paimon.

Soon several minutes have passed and everyone finally stops crying and looks at Rue who gave all a sad smile.

"People of Sumeru....now I'm sure now you all realize how much your Archons sacrifice so much...for all of you....not only but Teyvat itself." Rue said many people of Sumeru were nodding in agreement.

"Now..." Rue turns to the former sages and lackeys, who were looking down on the ground in shame like children who were scolded and felt guilty about it. "...I have so much things to unload on you ungrateful geezers....but I won't....after all you all will never achieve true wisdom or knowledge....that will be my curse to you all...until Nahida deem you worthy for redemption." Rue said as he placed a curse on the former sages and their lackeys.

Some of them protested at this but suddenly a portal appeared beneath them and dragged them away as the former sages and lackeys pleaded mercy or to save them but everyone just watched in shock as the former sages were taken away.

"...What happened to them." Dehya asked.

"Lead back to the hands of the watchers...it will not my business on what they will do to them." Rue said with shrugged.

"But don't you think it's a little bit extreme to send them back to the other watchers." Nahida said worried. The former sages might have imprisoned her for such a long time but they are still her people.

"Don't worry Nahida...once you all return back to your world...I will just make it seem they had nightmares. Many of the watchers considered your punishment of them exile was too light for their eyes. It's better let the watchers deal with them than drag the rest of Sumeru in such punishment." Rue explained.

Nahida realized that maybe many watchers have a worse plan for the people of Sumeru if they didn't get what they wanted and decided to not protest about it.

"Okay...seems like I have to go.." Rukkhadevata said as she stands up from her seat.

"...your leaving?" Nahida said with a sad look. Rukkhadevata just gave a small smile and pat Nahida's head.

"...I have to go Buer...but don't worry...like my counterpart said...I know you will be a great Archon...greater than I was...I have faith in you." Rukkhadevata said as hugged Nahida. Nahida eyes widened at this but couldn't help but return the hug back as she felt happy in hearing those words again.

Rue prepares the portal back to Rukkhadevata dimension. "The portal is ready Rukkhadevata. Thank you for joining us."

Rukkhadevata smiles at Rue before turning to Aether. "Please look after Nahida from time to time Aether."

"...I will." Aether said with a smile. Rukkhadevata smiles and does something that shocks everyone especially Nahida.

Rukkhadevata suddenly kisses Aether in the lips and Aether eyes widen at this.

Rukkhadevata broke the kiss and left to the portal as wave goodbye and the Portal closed.

"....What?" Nahida in shock and confused in what Rukkhadevata just did. "What just happened."

'...THAT BITCH STOLE AETHER FIRST KISS' The main cast girls exclaimed in their mind as they were now looking at daze Aether.

"Oh I forgot to mention...in that Rukkhadevata came from the timeline where Aether came Teyvat much earlier and prevented the forbidden knowledge from spreading further which in return did not need Rukkhadevata to sacrifice herself." Rue explained happily to them.

"But why did Rukkhadevata kiss Aether?" Venti asked the very important question.

"Oh in that timeline Aether and Rukkhadevata are married and Nahida is their child." Rue revealed and you could hear a pin drop from the complete dead silence.

"WHAT?!" The main girls shouted in shock and turned to Aether. "you knew this didn't you?! That's why you were so comfortable sitting next to her?!"

"...meep" Aether squeaks in fear as he sees the girls pull out their weapon getting ready to kill Aether.

"...Does that mean that I should call Aether Papa?" Nahida asked innocently as she was surprised there was a timeline she was the daughter of Aether and Rukkhadevata.

This just angers the girls even more and chaos ensures the theater. Rue suddenly grabbed Wanderer and disappeared via portal, leaving aether on his own from the girl's wrath. With the boys(wingmen) trying to protect him from the girl's wrath.

==wanderer and Rue==

"...any reason why you dragged me into this area." Wanderer as they suddenly appeared in a hallway.

"Just follow me." Rue gesture Wanderer to follow him. Wanderer just sighs in annoyance and follows Rue. Soon they entered the room and saw an interrogation room with Dottore (The doctor) suddenly tied up on the table strapped down with several torture weapon on the side. The doctor has gag in his mouth to prevent him to speak.

"The doctor?!" Wanderer said in shock and anger but also confusion."..What the heck"

"You wanted to torture him right?...well here you are. You can go nuts. The room prevents him to die and he surely can't escape." Rue explained.

Wanderer eyes widen in hearing this and saw Doctor completely unconscious at the moment. He grabbed a nearby katana that was on nearby other weapons "...Well seems like being teleported for the viewing made it worth it after all." Wanderer smirks as he already have torture in mind.

"Just to remind you. He can't die..but you can torture as much as you want he will just heal but you break him however you want." Rue explained and Wanderer grins turn big.

"That's fine....I will make him pay what he did.." Wanderer said. Rue left the room and the moment the door closes a few seconds passed. Rue hears the Doctor screams and Wanderer laughing.
