Chapter 286 Is Bai Mu a Great Luo?
Bai Mu supported the Great Tree King, and the Great Tree King supported his buttocks; the two slowly moved away from the inn.
"Actually, we don't need to really see ourselves as ordinary people."
"Although mortals live a relatively carefree life, they also need some power when necessary."
"Just like now."
Bai Mu reached out and rubbed the Great Tree King's buttocks. Divine power surged from his hand, and the Great Tree King instantly felt no pain in its buttocks.
"You're right."
"The main reason is that my mindset has changed. My life during this period has made me feel that I am a human being, not a god."
"So my first reaction when I was 'injured' was to wait for the injury to heal, rather than trying to heal it myself."
The Great Tree King largely agreed with the White Wood's statement.
Previously, as a deity who looked down upon all living beings, she would try her best to repair any damage she herself could heal.
But with the change in perspective, for minor injuries like the one just now, the Great Tree King's first thought is to "let the body repair itself," and she will not interfere.
"It seems you've completely adapted to this ordinary, mundane daily life."
Shiraki held the Great Tree King's hand and strolled leisurely toward Apep's location, chatting with him as they went.
"And you? Speaking of which, how did you adapt to this kind of life?"
The Great Tree King walked side by side with the White Tree in the rainforest. When she looked at the White Tree, her eyes were full of curiosity.
She knew that Shiraki came from outside the world, a fact that Shiraki had mentioned to her many times, and that Shiraki had occasionally told her about things on Earth.
However, Bai Mu talked about almost all the content from the novels and myths he had read before.
He barely mentioned anything about real-world things on Earth, except for mobile networks and food.
As a result, the Great Tree King always believed that the world of the White Tree was a very advanced world, with countless powerful beings within it.
"As far as I know, you have stayed in Qingce Manor since you came into this world and have never come out."
"And you didn't seem to have entered the world much earlier than me, did you?"
"When you talked about your world before, it seemed to be a world with martial power so high that it was impossible to see the limits. The things you described, like 'Great Luo' and 'Ancient Times,' made my heart tremble just hearing them from you."
"Since you can understand that thing, you must be an existence of the same level as them."
"In this way, you should have never come into contact with mortals in your world."
"Then why do you always seem so much like a mortal?"
"Sometimes I even feel that you are just an ordinary person."
After listening to the Great Tree King ramble on and on, Shiraki felt a huge "Holy crap" in his mind.
He never expected that the Earth myths he told the Great Tree King would give the Great Tree King the illusion that he was also a Great Luo.
"You flatter me, I don't have that ability at all."
"But it's also my fault for not explaining the specifics of my world to you."
Bai Mu explained, both amused and exasperated:
"My world is simply a world ruled by mortals. All those things I told you about, like the Great Luo, are just myths."
"What kind of world would it be if ruled by mortals?"
"Don't you believe in gods? Won't you be destroyed by other gods?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Great Compassion Tree King.
She still vividly remembers what happened in Kanria. That country was similar to the world Bai Mu had described, both being ruled by mortals.
However, the bloody truth tells the world that mortals are insignificant in the face of the power of gods.
Sky Island simply issued a command, and that magnificent kingdom built by mortals was destroyed.
"god?"
"If the gods you're talking about are the ones I've told you about, then they don't need to destroy the Earth, because Earthlings' mythology created them."
"But if the gods you're referring to are the deities of Teyvat..."
Bai Mu paused briefly, his tone carrying a hint of pride that the Great Compassion Tree King could hardly comprehend.
“We mortals may not be able to protect ourselves, but we can perish together with the gods of Teyvat.”
"and…"
"The world after the war will become a living hell, and this hell will last for a hundred years."
Listening to what Bai Mu described, the Great Tree King felt goosebumps all over his body.
She didn't doubt the truthfulness of Bai Mu's words, because the confidence that Bai Mu had shown when he spoke was unprecedented.
It's hard to imagine that a mortal could possess such power. If Kanria had also possessed this power back then, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"What's wrong with you? Were you scared by what I said?"
Coming to his senses, the Great Tree King realized that he had stopped at some point, and no matter how much Bai Mu pulled him, he did not respond.
"I wouldn't say I was scared; I was just starting to think because of what you said."
The Great Compassion Tree King looked up and explained.
Can you tell me about your world?
"What kind of world is it? How big is it? How did you explore the mysteries of the world?"
The Great Tree King asked a series of questions, which Bai Mu listened to one by one and then explained them one by one.
"Let me tell you what kind of world it is."
Bai Mu stretched out his free hand, and a ball of light condensed in his hand.
You should be familiar with the concept of a planet, right?
Looking at the ball of light that Bai Mu had condensed in his hand, the Great Tree King nodded.
"My world is called the 'universe,' a world made up of countless planets and various kinds of matter."
"We live on a planet called 'Earth,' though we named it ourselves."
"As for how big the universe is, I can't give an exact number, but its diameter is about 930 billion light-years."
"Light-year? Is that time?"
Upon hearing the new term, the Great Compassion Tree King asked a question in confusion.
"Uh... no, it's a unit of length, representing the distance light travels in a year."
Bai Mu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what was happening.
The continent of Teyvat does not have the unit of "light-year," so it is not surprising that the Great Tree King would mistakenly take it as a unit of time when he first heard the term.
Bai Mu did some mental calculations, then changed his approach:
"The length of one light-year is approximately equal to 946 followed by eleven zeros, and the unit is still kilometers."
Bai Mu picked up a twig, then wrote 946 on the ground. He then wrote eleven zeros in a row after it, and added "kilometer" as the unit after the zeros.
(I don't even know if Teyvat is a unit, and I really don't want to convert it to meters again.)
Looking at the long string of zeros that Bai Mu had written on the ground, the Great Tree King silently calculated in his mind for a while.
Suddenly, she felt like she was going to burn out the World Tree's CPU.
Having stopped calculating in time, the Great Tree King had a new question in his mind.
"Since you know the size of the world, have you ever gone beyond it?"
"You flatter us Earthlings too much."
Unable to hold back any longer, Bai Mu blurted out what was on his mind.
"We don't even have many people who have left the planet yet."
Looking at the bright sun overhead, Bai Mu suddenly felt a surge of longing.
"How about we go take a look at the stars now?"
The Great Compassion Tree King also looked up at the sun, and although there was longing in her eyes, she still shook her head.
"Not right now, maybe next time."
"You are already very strong, but now is not the time for you to break out."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, he did not rebel and try to prove that he was no less than others.
As the saying goes, "He who listens to advice will eat his fill." Since the Great Compassion Tree King said so, then my strength must be lacking, and there's no need to show off my courage for the moment.
"Then it's a deal. Once I'm strong enough, I'll take you to see this starry sky."
Bai Mu pointed to the sky and said with boundless pride.
It would be even better if it were nighttime.
"Ok, I will wait for you."

I felt this chapter didn't have much content, so I stayed up all night to write it and post it.
The main point was to address a question that some readers had previously raised: why do gods also get drunk?
Also, it could enhance the relationship between the male and female leads and lay the groundwork for later plot developments.
Goodnight everybody.
