Every day, she would go out for a few strolls, have tea and chat with Su Chen. Fu Ningna thought to herself, "Anyway, this guy is a 'slacker'."

"Oh, right," she thought of something, "what about what about the Grey River?"

The plan to pacify Grey River was launched, but the war continued.

However, the trial has already begun, Melos, who was in charge, is dead, and Rost is about to be executed. At that time, the official army of Fontaine will probably be in complete chaos.

“I’ve asked Aina to handle it.” Su Chen smiled slightly. “She’s from the Gray River, so there’s no problem leaving this to her.”

"Aina...it's unbelievable. I've met her so many times, and I never imagined she had such a tragic past."

Fu Ningna went to the logistics department to look for Su Chen many times.

I've also had a few interactions with Aina.

It was probably when she encountered an awkward situation while hosting afternoon tea that I didn't pay much attention at the time because I was too nervous. Later, I just felt that Aina was a 'mature' and 'steady' woman.

Yes, both physically and mentally.

She wasn't envious at all; she wasn't envious at all.

From a professional standpoint, Aina is definitely a competent secretary.

But Funina didn't expect that the other party was also a duel agent, and with such great strength.

“Everyone has their own past and hidden secrets,” Su Chen said with a smile. “Not saying it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist; it just means they can’t share it with others.”

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Fu Ningna felt a pang of panic.

Isn't this the kind of secret she can't share? She inexplicably took on the mission of saving Fontaine. Although her identity was exposed by Su Chen, it hasn't been revealed yet, so her promise to herself in the mirror is still valid.

Of course, she didn't tell the mirror about Su Chen exposing her.

In fact, many times, Funina couldn't help but want to tell Su Chen.

But the thought that she might actually ruin Mirror's own plans and cause the prophecy of Fontaine's destruction to come true would make her sins immense.

Once the mirror has prepared everything, then I'll tell Ryder... Thinking this, Frynn quickly changed the subject: "Then, what about Aina after that?"

“She’ll come back and continue to be my secretary. Anyway, she’s already resigned from the Court of Justice.” Su Chen smiled. “Speaking of which, when she resigned, Villette looked really reluctant to let her go. I rarely see that kind of emotional fluctuation on his face.”

“Really?” Funina thought for a moment. “I didn’t notice.”

"Don't you two get along well?"

"That's strange, why would it be good?"

"Hmm... I have a feeling he knows you."

It wasn't out of the people's faith in God; although Su Chen had lost his power, he still had his discernment.

Navelette's personality made him a perfect candidate to be a judge, but his identity seemed to be more than that. Su Chen sensed a familiar power emanating from Navelette, which, if he wasn't mistaken, should be the power of the ancient dragon king.

It shouldn't be the Dragon King. The Supreme Judge Navelette had studied the simulation beforehand. If the other party were the Dragon King, he couldn't possibly fail to sense it, since he had already reached the level of the head of the ancient Dragon Kings at that time.

Compared to the Thunderflame Dragon Emperor, a dragon of Vilet's caliber would probably be nothing more than a cub.

However, because they were 'of the same kind', Su Chen still had a good impression of him.

Furthermore, considering Fontaine's situation, Navelette is most likely a water dragon.

Interestingly, such a being became the Supreme Judge of Fontaine, while the Water God is supposed to be on the side of justice. It's strange that these two can coexist peacefully in the future... Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems that Funina really doesn't know about Vilet's situation.

I don’t make it.

Su Chen could tell from the expression on Funina's face that the latter's intelligence could not possibly deceive him.

"What's wrong?" Funina tilted her head.

"It's nothing," Su Chen chuckled. "You're quite cute."

Funina: "???"

...

The end of one trial is the beginning of another. Fontaine's ideal is justice, and as the goddess of justice, Funina naturally wouldn't miss any of the 'spectacular performances'.

Fortunately, after the trial of the nobles, there were very few voices questioning her in Fontaine anymore, and with her powerful acting skills, more and more people gradually accepted her identity as the water goddess.

The Gray River cleanup was forcibly terminated. Funina expressed her desire to improve the situation in Gray River. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Chen successively promulgated a series of laws, focusing on eliminating the differential treatment between the upper and lower classes. These laws achieved considerable results in the following two months.

However, long-established mindsets cannot be changed in a short time. Even without the oppression of powerful nobles, differences in ideology and culture, huge gaps in living conditions, etc., are like a high wall standing between the people on both sides, which is impossible to break down in one go.

Su Chen knew he couldn't rush things. At least they were on the same page in terms of faith, and with Fu Ningna, this 'big star,' around, the gap would eventually be bridged.

Meanwhile, construction of the Opicclay Opera House was also progressing smoothly.

Although the aristocratic system still wields considerable power, the lessons learned from the cases of Melos and others have made the remaining nobles much more obedient.

In fact, nobility is an honorary title. Not all nobles are corrupt and evil. Most minor nobles are more refined than ordinary people. It is not the nobles who are corrupt, but the power itself.

After the sanctions were imposed on Melos and others, the system of great nobles collapsed, and the industrial chain of interests under their names was naturally divided by other forces. Among these people, voices of support for the construction of the Opiclie Opera House soon emerged, and one after another they contributed a large amount of money and materials to show their loyalty to the Water God.

Su Chen, of course, accepted all these things without hesitation.

He did not consider building his own power base in Fontainebleau.

Firstly, I wasn't interested; having established the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce was enough.

Secondly, as the actual controller of the Privy Council, the messenger of the Water God, and the uncrowned king of Fontaine, Grandpa Ryder needs to earn Mora himself.

What a joke.

He was more concerned about unlocking template abilities than this.

[You're trying to further explore template abilities by enacting laws, but you quickly discover that even continuing to promulgate new Fontaine laws doesn't significantly help unlock templates. It seems that once the unlocking progress reaches 50%, the effect of general laws is already close to zero.]

[So you shifted your focus to creating special rule cards, and spent nearly three months developing a new rule card for Funina.]

[A rule card capable of manipulating elemental forces.]

[You've been researching this for months, but you've discovered that commanding elemental power with rules isn't easy. Compared to the effects of a single rule, driving elemental power requires a more complete system of rules. And this system is already established by the current order of nature. Trying to steal the power to drive the rules from such a strong order is obviously unrealistic. So what you need to do is embed your own rules into the power, creating rule cards that are similar to the Eye of God.]

[This process was not simple either. Fortunately, as the level of the power of the rules increased, the effect of the first-level rules in increasing the probability of judgment also increased, which led to your first success three months later.]

"Phew! It's finally finished."

In the room, Su Chen looked at the purple card in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Three months of hard work had taken a toll on his spirit; after all, he was just a mortal in this life, and couldn't work for three days and three nights without any problems like he could in the real world.

"I didn't expect that driving elemental force would be so difficult. It seems that I was wrong before."

Staring at the cards in front of him, Su Chen pondered silently.

He originally thought the most difficult thing would be the 'Divine Authority' he had used on Funina before. This special card directly affects the level of rules and can even change a person's will.

However, after three months of research, it was found that this was not the case.

Applying the rules is not that simple.

It's not that creating divine authority cards is simpler than driving elemental forces, but rather that the use of divine authority rule cards has a complete system in place. Judgment, theater, audience, protagonist... these factors come together in specific situations to meet the conditions for using divine authority rule cards.

When used in this context, the Divine Rule Card does not counteract any power.

The elemental power-driven rule card extends this system to the entire Teyvat. To drive elemental power, one cannot bypass the natural order. Unless Su Chen can create a rule system that is more powerful than the natural order to replace it, he can only act as a key to open the door of the natural order and steal something from it.

This has already taken Su Chen three months, and it's still a very rough application.

"Its power is indeed comparable to the Eye of God, but it also has great limitations."

The driving effect of a rule card is singular; once it's set, that's how it is, unlike the Eye of God which directly grants the ability to use elements.

To be honest, it's a bit like a character's skill in a game.

However, in reality, people with the "eye of God" can easily control the generation of elements through their thoughts even without using this skill, which is a significant difference.

You can see it in the game; Old Zhong can't even trigger a Geo reaction without using his skills.

So overall, the effect of this rule card is mediocre, but at least it has allowed Su Chen to step into the threshold. He can continue to strengthen it in this direction.

The only worry is... Su Chen wonders if he'll be able to raise this power to the level of a demon god within his 'lifetime'.

He promised to make Funina a true water goddess.

With this goal in mind, Su Chen needs to improve the general law, formulate special rules within the Fontaine area that are beneficial to Funina, and finally, grant her powerful rule cards.

“A hundred years... is too short,” Su Chen sighed softly.

A hundred years is actually enough for an ordinary person.

Birth, growth, marriage, children, and enjoying old age – a hundred years is enough time for a person to live a fulfilling life.

But for the gods, sometimes a single problem can trouble them for five hundred years.

Su Chen could only do his best to fulfill this promise.

"I don't know where that girl is."

Leave the room.

Su Chen planned to go out for some fresh air and relax, and also give the new card to Funina.

Upon arriving at the Momang Palace, in Funina's study, the room was empty.

"Lord Ryder, Lady Frinina has gone to the seaside," the guard said. "If you wish to find her, I can show you the way, or you may wait in the study?"

Because of Su Chen's relationship with Funina, as a messenger of the gods, he was allowed by Funina to freely enter and leave her study and rest room, so everyone in the Mo Mang Palace treated Su Chen with utmost respect.

Of course, as the person in charge of the finances, all the money these people receive must be approved by Su Chen. Even without Funina, they still have to be respectful, right?

"I'll go inside and wait."

Su Chen was too lazy to go out again.

He's a little tired right now.

If you go to the beach to find Funina, you'll most likely be dragged around by her. Heaven knows where this human gets so much energy.

In comparison, Su Chen felt like an old man.

The duo is a young old man and a fake god.

The study is spacious, with a solid wood desk with gold trim in the center, covered with books. To the left of the desk are bookshelves, and to the right are a sofa and a coffee table.

The table was a bit messy, and there were even books on the floor. Seeing this, one could imagine Ms. Funina burying her head in the pile of books and studying them.
