Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

There isn't much information about this civilization's records, but Su Chen discovered that almost all related materials were listed as 'taboo,' accessible only to a select few.

"It seems that it must have been during the Demon God War or something from before..."

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

The materials he found recorded that the prophet of the Remuria Dynasty had foretold the coming of destruction. The specifics were unknown, but this prophecy seemed to originate from a law called 'Fatuna'. Nothing related to it was recorded in Fontaine's library. Su Chen went to the Academy of Sciences for this reason, but he still couldn't find it.

However, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences told him that although the ancient Lemurian civilization was submerged by the sea, a tall tower still remains in the world today.

The Academy of Sciences explored that tower a long time ago, but for some reason the exploration was stopped, and even the existence of the tower was put on the taboo list. In subsequent research by the Academy of Sciences, any exploration of the Remurian civilization was prohibited.

Su Chen went through all the ancient records of the Academy of Sciences, digging deep into the ground, which made the head of the Academy stare in disbelief. Finally, he found two records about the Remuria Dynasty in a hidden corner.

One analysis of Fatuna by the Academy of Sciences suggests that it is a self-regulating rule of Teyvat, and the ultimate goal of this rule seems to be the destruction of civilization.

This is clearly something that is hard to accept.

The second is that the Remurian Dynasty once gave birth to an 'immortal race', which consisted of enormous golems, referred to as 'demigods' in ancient texts, possessing human consciousness and an immortal body.

That's all the records.

However, combining these two points, Su Chen guessed that in order to avoid the prophecy of destroying the dynasty, King Remus extracted human consciousness through some method and stuffed it into the golem in order to achieve immortality.

But such behavior is tantamount to violating human ethics, so the Remurian dynasty was already heading towards its demise when it embarked on this path.

In fact, Su Chen was already familiar with the first point of the theory.

The cycle of civilization from birth to decline is an eternal rule of this world.

Civilizations reach their zenith and then decline; King Remus, in an attempt to avoid destruction, led himself to destruction.

Upon seeing Fatuna's prophecy, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients."

Unfortunately, the existing data records too little information about Fatuna; otherwise, Su Chen could have used it to improve the rules and further unlock the template progress.

After all, Fatuna's prophecy is also part of the natural order. Even if it is not entirely correct, it is of great help to him now. After all, Su Chen is just a mortal in this life and does not have much time to study it on his own.

Then Su Chen thought of Fontaine's current prophecy. Considering the events of the Remuria Dynasty, it might just be the crisis Fontaine will face in the future.

"The problem is that even five hundred years later, Fulina still seems to be a big star who sings and dances."

It now appears that Fulina was studying the hydrological report in an attempt to resolve the crisis predicted in the prophecy.

But the prophecy still holds true five hundred years later.

Then Funina continued as usual every day.

So how exactly is she going to resolve the crisis?

Could it be that after so many years of research, they realized it was hopeless and gave up, preparing to happily face death?

"No, although that guy looks silly and weak, he's actually stronger than anyone else."

Su Chen recalled that when he first discovered Fu Ningna's mortal identity, even though she was about to face trial, she still did not reveal the reason why she was playing the water god.

This proves that, contrary to her lovely appearance, Funina's strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Forget it, let's leave these things to reality to solve."

Su Chen shook his head inwardly. He was just a mortal now, and there was very little he could do. Instead of thinking about how to save Fengdan, he should think about how to unlock the template.

...

You brought back all the information about the Remurian Dynasty, and then spent nearly half a year studying 'Fatuna'. Unfortunately, due to incomplete information, the gains over these six months were very limited.

Realizing that continuing would only be a waste of time, you refocus your attention on rule-making.

Over the past six months, through her own efforts, Funinna has firmly established her identity as the Water Goddess, and thanks to this, the success rate of judgments under the rules you set has become increasingly higher.

"Divine Authority Card Series ②... [The Gaze of the God of Justice], the Stare God Technique. Anyone stared at by the Water God must answer her questions truthfully and without question. It can only be used in the Trial Court and can only be used once per target. It is limited to use by the Water God."

"Divine Authority Card Series ③..."

"Divine Authority Card Series ④... [Exemption]: When the user is the target of judgment, they can be forcibly exempted from their crimes and released without charge. Limited to use by the Water God."

"Divine Authority Card Series ⑤..."

"..."

Looking at these rule cards, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Creating rule cards with the Inquisition as a prerequisite is indeed much easier. Although the conditions for using them are harsh, if we can eventually create another 'Field Rule' that forces the Inquisition to be summoned, then Frynn will truly be invincible.

This idea came to Su Chen in a flash of inspiration. Although he had stopped being a card dealer many years ago, the principle was the same. Since he couldn't confront the natural order head-on, he would create a space with rules that the order allowed.

"The ultimate card in the Divine Authority Card series... [The Court of Judgment], is in production. Please look forward to it..."

With Su Chen's current rule level, it is not enough to create a complete rule space. In addition, there is the need to compile rule content that can be successfully evaluated. Both are indispensable.

When the Tribunal is completed, it will be the moment of Funina's ascension to godhood.

I glanced at the template progress and it had increased from 50% to 60%. Although the progress was slow, making the Divine Authority series cards was indeed much faster than blindly figuring things out.

Fate will reward every child who works hard.

Just as Su Chen was about to continue pondering, Fulina suddenly sent someone to inform him to go to Iriye Island—the Obi-Cole Opera House was completed today.

"Is it already this late?"

Su Chen then realized that more than half a year had passed since the opera house was built, and with a large amount of manpower and resources invested, the project was progressing much faster than planned.

He entrusted all these matters to Aina, who has been assisting Funinna during this time. After all, she is the Water God, how can she not have some capable people around her?

To this, Funina laughed three times, implying that gods need no help from mortals. (In reality, her inner self was jumping for joy.)

Su Chen wasn't particularly interested in the Opiclie Opera House itself, but he was very interested in the legendary Cardinal of the Proclamation, because it was obvious that this thing couldn't have been made by Frynn, and perhaps it contained the reason why the latter insisted on playing the water god.

That afternoon, Su Chen arrived at Iriye Island by boat.

They arrived at the Opizley Opera House under the escort of guards.

The opera house was built in a waterfront area, but in fact, in addition to the opera house itself, a large number of supporting facilities were built around it, including the waterway that Fontaine is proud of. According to the plan formulated by Su Chen, Irie Island will develop around the opera house and will become a place with a level of prosperity no less than Fontaine in the future.

The primary prerequisite for achieving all of this is ensuring smooth roads; if you want to get rich, build roads first.

Therefore, before building the opera house, the waterways and shipping routes were opened up first.

at this time.

The people of Fontainebleau, drawn by the completion of the opera house, crowded into a square.

"Ryder, over here, over here!"

Fu Ningna stood on the stage in front of the square and waved to him.

As the water god made no attempt to conceal his arrogance, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Su Chen.

"Grandpa Ryder is here!"

The crowd was in a commotion.

Although Su Chen has reduced his time outside recently, his reputation has only increased. Various rumors have circulated because people can't see him in person, portraying him as a dark emperor who secretly controls everything in Fengdan.

"Lord Ryder."

Below the stage, the Supreme Judge Navelette was also present.

Su Chen nodded to him, then walked to the edge of the stage, where Fu Ningna jogged over.

"You're so slow! If you're any later, my grand opening ceremony will be over," the girl complained, pouting.

Su Chen thought to himself that because the opening was so grand, he had planned to wait until it was over before coming.

However, how could the Water God's speech be complete without the accompaniment of a divine messenger? For this reason, Funina specially postponed the time to wait for Su Chen to join her. Looking at Grandpa Ryder being forcibly dragged onto the stage, Navelette in the audience shook her head.

He was increasingly unable to understand the water god's way of thinking.

And Ryder following her around is really pathetic.

Fortunately, Funina's so-called grandeur was merely an attempt to elevate the scene. After a self-praising and self-indulgent declaration, the Water God gave an order, followed by cannon salutes, confetti, and then the deafening sounds of gongs and drums, and deafening shouts—

"Fukaros!"

"Fukaros!"

"Fukaros!"

The consequence of one madman leading the way is that a whole group of people follow suit.

Su Chen finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd and looked back at Fu Ningna, who was standing on the stage like a big star. When he looked ahead, he saw Na Vilette. The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"The first hearing at the Opiclie Opera House is scheduled for tomorrow," Navelette said.

It's open to the public along with the courtroom, but Su Chen can certainly go in and take a look if he wants.

"Hmm...Speaking of which, have you ever heard of the ruins of the Remuria Dynasty?" Su Chen suddenly had an idea.

"Ruins? If it's that tower, then I do know something about it."

"That's great." Su Chen chuckled. "I'd like to go there. Could you do me a favor and come with me?"

Even if Vilet isn't the Water Dragon King, his strength should be considerable. With him around, Su Chen's chances of getting into the tower would be much higher.

"You want to go inside?" Navelette asked, somewhat surprised. "That's a forbidden area in Fontaine. The previous water god ordered that exploration be prohibited."

Su Chen shrugged: "Then the current Water God just needs to allow it."

Navelette paused for a moment, then said, "I can help if it doesn't break the law."

Su Chen smiled. This guy usually looks serious and rigid, but he's surprisingly easy to talk to.

"It's settled then. I'll call you when everything is ready... Would you like to go in and take a look together? I'm afraid we won't be able to finish here anytime soon."

Navelette declined Su Chen's invitation, as he had already seen what was happening inside.

Su Chen waved goodbye to him and then walked into the opera house alone.

The interior space was exceptionally spacious. Inside was an office area with access to the upper floors on both sides. The opera house, which served as the courtroom, was located at the very back. Su Chen pushed open the door, and because it was not in use, the light was dim and the place felt rather deserted.

It was almost twice the size of the original opera house, and included a special 'audience seat' for the water goddess Funyna, which stood above everyone else. In the very center was the highest judgment seat, where Navelette sat.

Below the judge's bench was a huge 'scale', with blue light clusters resembling water droplets floating on the trays on either side of the scale.

"Is this the decree for the cardinal?" Su Chen stood in front of the scales, examining it.

According to Funina, during the trial, the decree of the cardinal will show different reactions depending on the situation on the ground; whoever the scales tip in favor of will have the most compelling evidence and will have the upper hand.

At the end of the trial, the machine will deliver a verdict and declare the crime.
