At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 142 Arrival in Fontaine, where is Funina? Isn't she coming out?
"The similarity between Earth and Teyvat is increasing, and the repulsion between the two worlds has decreased a lot. If it decreases a little more, it is not impossible to build a long-term passage."

Colorful crystals shone brightly in the dimensional channel, and Los Saint's divine sense rapidly materialized.

As he sensed the changes in the dimensional channel, he pondered how to realize the ideas in his mind.

"I wonder where in Teyvat we'll end up this time."

The dimensional portal is completely random; he himself doesn't know where it will open.

Teyvat is a planet, about the same size as Earth, but several times more massive. It would take Earth about one more upgrade to reach the size of Teyvat.

His current body possesses power that has reached the level of 'Heavenly Law Maintainer,' making him even stronger than the Great Power Dragon King.

However, the drawback is also very obvious: maintaining its existence consumes power at all times. In other words, it will continuously consume power as long as it enters Teyvat.

If it doesn't use its power and merely maintains its existence, this wisp of divine thought can exist for tens of thousands of years. But if it fully expends its power, it can only last for a few hours.

He was able to maintain his surface-level position for several hours.

However, given that Teyvat is already quite powerful, its performance is roughly at the level of Supercontinent.

The continents of Teyvat are all connected, similar to the supercontinent Pangaea on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago. This supercontinent could cover about one-third of the Teyvat continent.

A light appeared ahead.

Los Saint rushed into the light, and everything before him suddenly became clear.

What comes into view is a pale blue sea. A fresh breeze caresses your face, but there is no salty smell in the air; instead, it smells like fresh water from a lake.

In the distance, the boundary of the land can be faintly seen on the horizon, and from that boundary, tall blue and white buildings can be clearly seen.

The buildings resemble those of Europe's steam age, but are more aesthetically pleasing.

Los Saint looked down at the sea beneath his feet. The water was exceptionally clear, somewhat resembling the 'Sea of ​​Life' created by Tiamat on the moon, and it was also rich in a vibrant life force.

The seabed is not very deep from the sea surface, with the deepest point being only about 1,500 meters. The entire ocean is calm and tranquil, without any ocean phenomena such as huge waves. All the water is constrained by the rules of the water element, only showing a gentle side.

"So you've come to Fontaine this time? That's quite a coincidence, as Fukaros has always been looking forward to moving the entire city of Fontaine there." Los Saint calmly looked at the buildings on the horizon, which was Fontaine Court, the most populous place in Fontaine.

A sense of will was spreading from Fontaine, and a faint gaze fell upon Los Saint.

A slight smile appeared on Los Saint's lips. "I've only just arrived and you've already sent your senses over. I have to say, Teyvat, whether gods or dragons, has an extremely strong sense of the land they inhabit, as if the land is an integral part of themselves."

"I will come to find you. I hope you will do your best to be a good host," Luo Sheng said with a smile.

When Fukaros fell to Earth, it took its power with it, which resulted in the water elemental power of Teyvat being incomplete and unable to exert its full power.

Even if the power that has reached the highest level is divided in two, it still possesses the ability to exert power; it's just that the rules are incomplete, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

The elemental powers of the seven Teyvat gods all originate from a portion of the Dragon Kings' power, and the thrones are essentially just seals that divide that power. Once a throne is shattered, the fragments of power will automatically return to the Dragon Kings.

Having met five of the Seven Gods, he also understood the quality of the Seven Elemental Powers.

The quality of the seven elemental powers in Teyvat is not uniform; some powers have a minimum quality of ten parts, while others have fifteen parts.

The water element has twelve parts of mass, which is the middle level of the powers.

When Phanes descended upon Teyvat and suppressed the Seven Dragon Kings, he would definitely take away more than 60% of the power to prevent the Dragon Kings from having any power to resist.

It's not that Fanes didn't want to take it all, but that she couldn't, unless she completely destroyed and rebuilt the entire planet Teyvat.

Thousands of years after the defeat of the Seven Dragon Kings, Nibelungen, who left Teyvat to search for other worlds in the universe, returned to Teyvat with the power of the Abyss. He found that his homeland had been stolen and his subordinates had been suppressed. He immediately fought with Phanes and casually shattered two of the three moons he had created.

However, after fighting for only a few decades, King Nidalee was killed by King Fa, and Teyvat brought the Abyss into the world, resulting in holes connecting to the Abyss all over the world. King Fa could no longer control Teyvat's seven elemental powers.

That's why the 'War of the Demon Gods' was started, and seven demon gods were chosen to be given divine thrones to suppress the 'Seven Elements Power'.

If the power of the seven elements were to completely return to the Seven Dragon Kings, then Teyvat would once again become the world of dragons.

If it weren't for the 'War of the Dead' fought between King Nidalee and King Fa, Teyvat could have survived the erosion of the Abyss for tens of thousands of years, but now that time has been compressed to within a thousand years.

[...] The gaze from Fontaine hesitated for a moment before disappearing.

“They’re all quite cautious,” Luo Sheng laughed. There was no need to guess who the owner of this gaze was; it was the second-generation Water Dragon King Navelette, born in human form, and also the current 'Supreme Judge' of Fontaine who is in charge of law and judgment.

The prototype of Fontaine is the social background before the French Revolution, where everything was determined by the law, that is, 'procedural justice'. Even if everyone knew that the person was the culprit, no one would be guilty without absolute evidence and without being tried in the opera house.

If they operate covertly and bribe all those in the know, they will still win the trial.

This is basically the daily routine for the Fontainebleau nobility; even if they commit crimes, they will use their status and money to bribe their way out.

Basically, in one-third of the cases in Fontainebleau, there is no 'outcome justice'.

Los Saint turned his head to look at a small brass-colored boat not far behind him, which was similar to a steamship and was moored on the sea. It was a mechanical creation driven by the unique energy of Fontaine. Three pairs of eyes were staring straight at him from the small boat.

When he emerged from the dimensional portal, he caused some unusual phenomena. Normally, it was a pitch-black void, and the spacetime ripples of the void would cause changes in the brightness of a large area.

Luo Sheng's figure disappeared and reappeared on the small boat the next moment. The owner of the three gazes watching him had his back to him.

A young girl dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic gown, with long golden hair cascading down to her hips, is standing on tiptoe, looking up at the sky with her hands in front of her eyebrows.

"Gone! That person has vanished! That huge, dark hole that suddenly appeared just now—could that be a spatial rift? Who is he? Could he be some kind of god?"

“Young lady, it seems that there is no legend of any god in the Seven Kingdoms who can open up space.” An elderly man with gray hair and wearing a black and white suit said gently, “In addition, I hope you will not be too curious about things related to gods and demons.”

“Yes, Miss Navia, please don’t be curious. Although many legends involve encounters with other gods, there are far more tragedies involving demons and monsters,” the young man, also dressed in a black and white suit, chimed in.

“Of course I know these kinds of stories. I just happened to see this scene, so I couldn’t help but be a little curious. But I won’t chase after unrealistic things like an adventurer,” Navia said optimistically. “If I really encounter difficulties, instead of believing in some vague adventure, I’d rather ask for help from trusted partners and friends.”

"The reason why people can make progress together is because of the mutual trust among friends and partners."

Navia turned around as she spoke, paused for a moment, and saw a young man with golden eyes. The moment her eyes met his, an aura of divinity washed over her.

Even if mortals have never seen a god, they will know that this is a god the moment they see one.

Navia's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and the 'Eye of God' at her waist emitted light. She regained her senses in a moment.

It's not that she hasn't seen gods, or rather, if she's lucky, she might see gods every day.

Their goddess of Fontaine, the water goddess Lady Funina, is a big star in Fontaine. She is approachable and has lived with the people of Fontaine for five hundred years. It is perfectly normal to see Lady Funina on the street.

Even though she would occasionally run into Funina on the streets of Fontaine or at the entrance of the Moman Palace, the political center of Fontaine.

However, she had never felt Lady Funina unleash her divine power, nor did she seem to have ever heard of anyone else experiencing it.

However, Lady Funina is, after all, a deity of Fontaine, so it's normal that she doesn't unleash her divine power on them.

"M-Miss..." The two servants, feeling the divine might, turned around in terror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, unable to even muster the thought of resistance.

The fragile will and body of mortals do not allow them to resist.

"This time it carried too much power, and this wisp of will cannot be blocked in a short time. I'm having a bit of a headache for now." Luo Sheng thought to himself as he looked at the three trembling, terrified people. Then he looked at the girl with big golden waves in her hair, who was dressed very beautifully and had a great temperament, as if she was saying, "I am a young lady."

Navia is the president of the Rose Society, a grassroots organization in Fontainebleau, and also the mayor of Baisong Town. She is a cheerful, optimistic, and strong-willed young lady.

In Fontainebleau, the 'Rose Society' is roughly equivalent to a 'guild' among the common people, so it enjoys high prestige among the poor. Even if the Fontainebleau government wants to do something in the slums, it needs the assistance of the Rose Society.

“Don’t be so nervous. I’m not some evil god. Tell me about the recent news in this country, and of course, I will reward you and grant you one wish that does not violate kindness and justice,” Luo Sheng said with a smile.

There is a time difference between Teyvat and Earth. Fukaros has been on Earth for more than three months, but in Teyvat time, Fukaros has been missing from the world for more than four months.

Fucarus hides within the 'Cardinal of Prophecy' in the Opiclie Opera House, accumulating the power of faith.

The entire Fontaine case will be judged by the 'Cardinal Decree' to determine right and wrong.

Without Cardinal Fucarus, the entire Fontaine is rendered useless, which is a huge deal for the entire nation, as the people firmly believe that the Cardinal's judgments are absolutely correct.

"To fulfill your wish..." Navia snapped back to reality, swallowed hard as she looked at the exceptionally handsome young man before her, her heart pounding like a drum.

"Revered deity, if I may be so bold, may I ask which of the seven kingdoms you are?"

“I am not one of the Seven Gods.” With a thought, Luo Sheng conjured a table and chairs on the deck of the small boat, and a pot of tea appeared on the table: “Sit down and tell me about the recent news in Fontaine.”

“Okay…” Navia took a deep breath. Wasn’t it one of the Seven Gods, or some ancient demon god who had awakened? Whether it was one of the Seven Gods or a demon god, the terrifying divine power made her afraid to say 'no'.

"..." The two attendants were sweating profusely with nervousness; they had never been so nervous before.

Navia paused for a moment before cautiously speaking, "Speaking of news in Fontaine... the biggest news is still the inexplicable breakdown of the 'Cardinal Decree' four months ago. The 'Cardinal Decree' is a machine created by the water goddess Funina to judge the right and wrong of cases in trials."

Navia sat upright in the chair, her hands resting on her knees. The unfamiliar demon god probably wanted to hear news related to the gods.

"Continue." Los Saint poured two cups of tea and pushed a cup of water in front of Navia.

"Thank you." Navia subconsciously stretched out her hands, and felt a little relieved looking at the god before her, whose divine power was terrifying but whose face was surprisingly gentle.

So this is how terrifying the power of the gods is? Even my body won't obey my commands.

"Fortunately, Lord Navelette has always been fair in handling cases, and the cases have not piled up for the time being. However, the lack of a 'Cardinal Decree' still makes the people somewhat worried about the cases judged by Lord Navelette."

"The 'Cardinal Decree' was, after all, made by Lady Funina, and Lady Funina said she would repair it as soon as possible."

"However, for some reason, Lady Funina has been delaying and has not yet made any progress on revising the 'Cardinal Decree', which makes one wonder if Lady Funina is going to hand over all the supreme judicial power to the Supreme Judge."

"This provoked open opposition from many nobles and merchants,"

"So far, Lady Funina has appeared in public less and less often. According to Melusin from the Momang Palace, Lady Funina has locked herself in her room for half a month. She has no appetite even for her favorite cake. I guess she is preparing to repair the 'Cardinal Decree'."

"Anything else?" Los Saint asked with a smile. As Fukaros's 'personality,' Funina was an ordinary person with no power whatsoever, except for a lifespan equal to that of a god.

How could anyone possibly solve something that requires divine intervention? Even killing her wouldn't work, so all they could do was hide like an ostrich.

The more you talk about or do these things, the easier it is to expose the fact that you are just an ordinary person.

This is all thanks to Fukaros. In order to turn the Fontaines into fully human beings, he did not hesitate to separate his personality from his divinity and told Funina nothing, letting her play the role of a god.

The god himself collected "faith power" in the "Judgment Prophecy Machine" to shatter the "God Throne" and return the power of the water element to Navelette.

The Water Dragon King is not only the master of water power, but also the heart of the Primal Ocean, the source of life in Teyvat, and possesses the power to create life.

In order for Navelette to be willing to make the Fontaines fully human after regaining power, he was invited to Fontaine to serve as the judge for five hundred years, so that he could understand humanity and develop feelings for the Fontaines.

The people of Fontainebleau are an unfinished human race.

Initially, the Great King of Dharma killed the first Water Dragon King. In order to prevent the primordial womb from going berserk, he had the 'Ruler of Life' use the Water Dragon King's heart to create the first water goddess, Egolia.

After Egolia was born, many pure water spirits were born in the primordial womb, and these pure water spirits became her familiars.

After witnessing the rich lives of the original inhabitants of Fontaine and experiencing the diverse emotions of humanity, the Water Spirits asked Ergolia to transform them all into humans.

Seeing the water sprite pleading with her, Ergolia had no choice but to steal the power of the Primordial Sea of ​​the Dead and transform the water sprite into a humanoid form.

Because she did not have complete authority over the primordial womb sea, these humans were only half-finished products, unable to reproduce, and would melt into the primordial womb sea water if they encountered it.

Therefore, Ergolia built a rudimentary 'reincarnation system'.

Humans who wish to conceive must pray at a spring. Pure water spirits, whose memories are washed away by the water after they die, will appear in the womb of the praying newlywed woman and be born as a newborn.

This action enraged the Dharma King.

Because if this happens, the original inhabitants of Fontaine will become fewer and fewer, and eventually they will all become humanoids.

Since Egolia was the heart that suppressed the primordial womb, she could not be killed, so she was sealed inside the primordial womb.

It wasn't until the War of the Demon Gods that Fontaine was destroyed by a group of demon gods, and even the Primordial Sea of ​​the Womb was in turmoil. Only then did the Great King of Law release her to clean up the mess caused by the War of the Demon Gods.

Ergolia knew that the mimicry humans she created would one day dissolve as the primordial seawater rose and spread to the ground.

Therefore, a series of plans to save the people of Fontainebleau were left behind.

Until the War of Kanria, she knew she would die, so she sealed her plans as prophecies and had Fucarus carry them out in her place.

Fukalos was unlucky; the other water sprites had all run away long ago, fearing that Ergolia would fall into their trap, but Fukalos was too slow and got caught.

Anyway, all the people of Fontaine will die out in the future, and the godhood will be left to you, Fucaros. So, tell me if you're willing to do it or not. Even if you don't, Egolia will be dead and won't know.

Then, in order to save the people of Fontaine, Fukaros split himself in two as soon as he took office as the water god. The divine cat collected the power of faith in the 'Cardinal Decree', while the personality Funina, who knew nothing, played the water god and attracted the attention of Sky Island.

"And..." Navia continued talking about the hottest news recently, gradually becoming more enthusiastic from the initial caution.

From official news to unofficial news, the conversation went on for two hours straight, during which Los Saint poured three cups of tea.

In that short time, it was as if the two had become close friends who could talk about anything.

This was mainly because Luo Sheng was quickly suppressing his divine power; two hours was enough time for him to completely revert to his ordinary appearance.

"Alright, alright, I think I know by now," Luo Sheng interrupted Navia, who was still enthusiastically gossiping.

Navia blinked: "Is it all done? I still have the news from Baisong Town to tell you."

“That’s enough,” Luo Sheng said with a smile. “Then tell me your wish. As long as it’s not outrageous, I can grant it.”

"A wish...won't there be a price to pay?" Navia calmed down instantly and asked hesitantly. In all kinds of stories, making a wish to the gods is never without a price.

"Of course not, I am a benevolent god." Luo Sheng laughed, "But it must be a kind and righteous wish, otherwise it won't count."

Navia looked at the gentle-faced god and her initial tension disappeared. A god who could say such things could not be a deceitful evil god; that was her intuition.

"Then, I wish to know who the killer of the 'girl serial murder case' is, what the truth is, and the absolute evidence."

"That's it? Aren't you going to reconsider?"

"I won't consider it, this is my only wish."

"It's such a simple little wish." Luo Sheng chuckled, stretched out his hand and a ball of light appeared in his hand, which instantly transformed into a crystal ball and was placed on the table.

"Everything you want to know is in here."

Los Saint stood up: "Then, Navia, let's say goodbye here."

"Wait a minute, what's your name?" Navia called out quickly upon seeing this.

"Oh? Is that important?" Los Saint asked. "Or do you want to consider me a friend?"

"To treat a deity as a friend is far too presumptuous, but please tell me your name."

Navia looked at Los Saint with very sincere eyes. Although the encounter was very unexpected, they had already talked at the table for so long. She wanted to treat the god in front of her as a friend, but she knew it was impossible.

But we can't let her not even know her name.

If she didn't know his name, she would definitely regret it for a very long time.

“What an unconventional girl. Sincerity is a sure-fire weapon, and it works very well against gods.” Luo Sheng looked at Navia’s sincere eyes and smiled. “My name is Luo Sheng. As for what god I am, I won’t tell you. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.”

After saying that, his figure disappeared from Navia's sight.

“Los Saint…” Navia murmured to herself, then looked at the crystal ball on the table. “Thank you.” Her breathing was a little rapid.

The whole truth about the 'girl serial murder case' is here. Her father died with a stigma because of his investigation into the 'girl serial murder case'. All the cases are full of doubts because of this.

Slender fingers touched the crystal ball, and a flood of information rushed into her mind in an instant.

Navia's expression instantly turned to disbelief, then gradually to anger: "So that's the truth! Marcellus, Vasher... the primordial seawater, the experiment, dissolving the girl..."

"Miss, what do you know?" the gray-haired butler asked hurriedly.

Navia took out a map from her God's Eye and pointed to one corner of it: "Myles, steer the ship here! Then dive into the underwater factory below, where the decisive evidence for the 'girl serial murder case' is located."

"understand!"

……

Fontainebleau

The entire population of Fontaine is approximately three million, with two-thirds of them residing in Fontaine.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Fontaine is extremely large. The rich, nobles, and slightly wealthy commoners all live in Fontaine, while the poor live in the sewer area 'Grey River' below Fontaine.

The population of 'Grey River' is about one-third of the population of Fontaine, approximately 650,000.

The entire Fontaine is in a steampunk style, but there is no white smoke or dust from burning coal. On the contrary, it is exceptionally clean. The streets of Fontaine are filled with well-dressed passersby, and every now and then you will see one or two Melusin dolls.

This is an intelligent creature with round hands and feet, horns on its head, and only the height of an adult's waist.

In addition, there are robots equipped with rotating springs on their bodies. These are unique spring mechanisms in Fontaine. Fontaine's unique energy powers their operation. Fontaine's security, construction projects, and even mechanical factories are all supported by these spring mechanisms.

Most of Fontaine's technology is found in these clockwork mechanisms. These mechanisms are an integral part of Fontaine's daily life, much like the technology on Earth. Even technologies like cameras and printers exist here.

Los Saint walked calmly through the streets of Fontaine, heading toward the political center of Fontaine, the 'Momang Palace,' which governed everything in Fontaine, including its laws, finances, and military.

Moman Palace is very large, the largest building in Fontainebleau, and its height is one-third taller than the Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made building on Earth.

The area around the Mo Mang Palace was patrolled by law enforcement officers and security personnel.

Navelette was already standing at the entrance of the Moman Palace, and passersby greeted him.

"Lord Vilette, are you waiting for someone?"

"Are envoys from other countries arriving today? And why is Lord Vilette personally greeting them?"

Navelette nodded to those who greeted him without saying a word.

Two hours ago, he sensed an extremely powerful force descending upon Fontaine, a force that surpassed his own. He knew that if he were to clash with that force, he would be utterly unable to defeat it.

Furthermore, that power does not belong to Teyvat; it belongs to an outsider whose power surpasses that of the Seven Gods and himself. If that power were to erupt in Fontaine, the entire Fontaine would likely be destroyed in an instant.

However, the visitor did not seem to be hostile. He told the visitor to prepare to receive him and to show him hospitality, so he had no choice but to make some preparations.

However, he could no longer sense where the other person was, which made him a little anxious.

"Calm down, Water Dragon." The voice reached Navelette's ears, and Navelette quickly looked over. A handsome young man, who seemed to be an ordinary person, was already ten steps away from him.

Navelette was silent for a second. The other party was already ten steps away from him and he hadn't even noticed... Was the other party so strong that he couldn't detect them?

“Unfamiliar guest, please enter the Mo Mang Palace for further discussion.” Navelette stepped aside at the entrance of the Mo Mang Palace.

"Are you alone? Where is the water goddess Funina? Isn't it impolite for the water goddess to be absent on this occasion?" Los Saint walked into the Mo Mang Palace amidst the spectering gazes of passersby.

“She… Fontaine has a guest like you, so it is indeed necessary to inform the Water God.” Navelette led Los Saint to the tea room in the Mo Mang Palace where foreign envoys were received: “I will go and invite the Water God right away, please wait a moment.”
