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

In addition, throughout the process, the Cardinal of Judgment will absorb people's faith in justice and transform it into 'Lawful Hybrid Energy,' which is the energy that Frynn mentioned can drive the entire Fontaine.

"The power here is quite special; it must be some kind of authority..." Su Chen muttered to himself, "Could it be the Heart of God?"

Using conventional thinking, the seven gods of the Teyvat world always seem to use the Heart of God as the core of their power to create strange things, or they simply don't care and casually toss it to someone else.

Of course, Su Chen's reason for considering this was simply because Fontaine had no other source of power at the moment. If it was Funina who did it, he would rather believe that he was Qin Shi Huang.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Oh my~ I was still hesitating about whether to meet you, but I didn't expect you to be able to see the source of the power of the Cardinal of the Decree at a glance. It seems that Frynn was right about you. You really are an amazing person."

"Ok?"

Su Chen was taken aback. "Who is it?"

"Hehe~ Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. Perhaps you can call me... Demon God Fukaros."

...

Chapter 131 Fucarus: She Will Dance Alone Centuries Later [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

The demon god Fukaros.

She had the exact same appearance and figure as Funina, but even so, when she appeared in front of Su Chen, he immediately noticed the difference.

Aside from the fact that her clothes were predominantly white, her divine aura was completely different from that of Funina.

That's why it's so difficult for humans to portray deities. The difficulty lies not in their words and actions, but in capturing their spirit.

Su Chen shifted his gaze from Fucarus and looked around. Although it was still the grand stage of the opera house, many things had changed. For example, the judge's bench and the cardinal decree were gone.

"A space of consciousness..." Su Chen nodded slightly.

Across from him, a look of surprise appeared in Fukalos's eyes.

"You don't seem surprised at all."

It should have been Su Chen who was startled, but in fact, Fukalos found that she was the one who was surprised.

From the very beginning, he had been hiding in the Cardinal of Decree and Judgment. Everything was going according to plan. When he saw Su Chen walk in alone, Fukalos was still hesitant about whether to meet him. But he did not expect that Su Chen could even see the source of the machine's energy.

This is clearly not something a human could do.

"You're quite a surprise," Su Chen said with a smile.

"Of course, I was quite startled when you were talking to yourself just now." Fucaros shrugged and sighed, "I was planning to hide here secretly in front of everyone, but no one knew, and I was exposed before the trial even started. What a failure!"

"You can choose not to."

"What's the point? Rather than letting you remain skeptical of the Cardinals of the Decree, it's better to show yourself, because my intuition tells me that making you doubt is a very troublesome thing."

"I'll take that as a compliment," Su Chen said noncommittally. "So, what exactly is going on?"

Although Fukaros is currently behaving in a very 'friendly' manner, he is not careless at all. Compared to the silly and foolish performer, Funina, the one in front of him is a genuine demon god.

No matter how good the demon god's attitude was towards him, it couldn't change the fact that the other party could easily kill him. Death wasn't scary, but he hadn't unlocked the template progress yet, so he couldn't die no matter what.

“It seems that casual conversation won’t dispel your wariness. Ugh, this is really a headache. I knew from Frinna’s description of you that you’re definitely a tough one to deal with.” Fucaros sighed, rubbing his forehead.

what can we do about it?

An unexpected problem arose right at the start of the plan. This was a solution she had thought about for a very long time, so long that even the clam shells around her started bubbling.

And it's the only way.

Change is impossible, so Fukaros plans to try reasoning with Su Chen first, and if that doesn't work, she'll think of other ways.

"As you can see, I am the real demon god Fucarus. As for Funina, she is playing the role of the water goddess for me, and this identity must not be exposed, otherwise terrible things will happen."

"That prophecy? Fontainebleau will be submerged, the people of Fontainebleau will dissolve in the water, and only the water god will remain, weeping alone?"

"Oh my, you even know that?"

"I recently happened to look at some information about this," Su Chen said, a thought suddenly occurring to him. "Do you know about the Remuria Dynasty?"

"Remuria? Oh, the civilization you mentioned that was flooded?"

"They also seem to be influenced by some prophecy."

“Fatuna.” Fucaros pressed his index finger lightly to his lips. “It was a long time ago, before Egolia created us. I don’t know much about it, except that King Remus once sought out Egolia, because of the prophecy.”

"Later, King Remus separated the consciousness of his people from their bodies and merged them into immortal golems in an attempt to escape his doom. Unfortunately, he never thought that the prophecy would eventually come true, and the more he tried to avoid it, the more likely it would happen, just like a predetermined fate."

Su Chen nodded: "A closed circle, from the starting point to the ending point, and then repeating itself, that's the order of Teyvat."

Fukalos was somewhat surprised: "It seems you know more than I thought. You're just a human, not even thirty years old yet, right?"

Su Chen thought to himself that he was old enough to be your grandfather.

"So, the prophecy of Fontaine's destruction will eventually come true? All of this you've done is to resolve this prophecy? What exactly did you say to Funina?"

“Yes, the prophecy will come true. As for Fryna…” Fukalos blinked, “She didn’t say anything. I just had the child play my role and told her not to be exposed, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to save Fontaine.”

"I see.

Su Chen understood. Because it concerned the safety of the entire Fontaine, Fu Ningna refused to say anything no matter what.

Even when exposed, they stubbornly refuse to admit it. Even if they are put on trial, sent to court, or even killed by the people of Fontainebleau, they still choose not to reveal the secret.

What an idiot... Su Chen shook his head inwardly, and then quickly realized that it was precisely because it was Funina that she would do such a thing.

Arrogance is merely an outward appearance; he is weak and lonely, yet stronger than anyone else.

Su Chen suddenly realized that he had been immersed in exploring the rules for the past six months. Every time Fu Ningna came to him, he would only give her a perfunctory reply. Looking back now, he realized that the girl just wanted to find someone she could confide in.

Although it has been less than a year, I have been carrying this responsibility all along, constantly reminding myself of the fear of being exposed. The mental pressure I have been under is unimaginable.

Most importantly, Furina didn't even know how to save Fontaine; she just heard Fucaros say to play the role. She didn't know the plan, the timeline, or anything else... Isn't that a bit too cruel?

Su Chen suddenly thought of a question.

"Did you tell Funina how long she was supposed to keep acting?"

Fukaros gently shook her head: "No. Because even I can't be sure when the prophecy will come. I only know that the process may take a while."

“A little?” Su Chen frowned slightly. “Judging from the current rise in the water level of Fontaine, even if the prophecy comes true, it will be several hundred years from now. Fucaros, are you used to looking at things from a god’s perspective? Perhaps for you, several hundred years is only a little long, but for a person, it is an incredibly long time, not to mention having to bear such a heavy mission and endure this pressure continuously. Don’t forget that Funina is just a mortal, and her mental strength is only at the mortal level.”

As the shadow said, a mortal's life is but a fleeting moment.

But for humankind, this fleeting life is everything, is all the wonder.

Human mental strength is finite and wears down over time. Even if the body can remain youthful, the spirit will still become tired and decay.

To be honest, Su Chen was a little angry at this moment.

"Seeing you like this, I'm truly happy for Funina that she got to know you." Fucaros stood with his hands behind his back, looked up, and walked barefoot on the stage floor.

"So, to put it another way, she'll probably have to perform alone on this stage for hundreds of years." As she said this, a trace of sorrow appeared in Fukaros's eyes. "I really hope she can find happiness, because for me, Funina is the ideal version of myself."

“I can see that.” Su Chen could naturally see the relationship between the two. “But Funina has a complete consciousness; she is an independent individual.”

“Yes, but there’s no other way. I can only choose to let ‘myself’ bear this mission. Who told Agolia to choose me back then?” Fukalos sighed softly. “Alas~ Others would kill to sit in the position of the Seven Gods, but who knows that when you put on the crown, you have to bear its weight... And sometimes, the price you have to pay for that weight is even greater than life itself.”

Death is terrible.

But there are many things more terrifying than death.

God's mission.

Su Chen recalled that he had also performed the same mission in previous simulations.

This includes the former Human Emperor, who sacrificed his last moments to lay the foundation for Liyue's eternal existence.

Outsiders may find it hard to understand.

But from God's perspective, it was all worthwhile.

"So, what method do you intend to use to resolve the prophecy?" He stopped dwelling on whether it was right or wrong.

“I can’t say, at least not now… I’m sorry, Ryder, this matter has too much of an impact,” Fukaros said, shaking his head.

“But didn’t you say that Funinna absolutely cannot be revealed? But I already know her identity.”

“Because you are a variable,” Fucaros said. “You are the variable factor in all prophecies, and I cannot be sure what the prophesied future will be like after your appearance... So I have a request, and I hope you can grant it.”

"You said."

“Go to the Tower of Self, find Fatuna, it can bring the final result to all calculations... Although in my opinion the prophecy will eventually come true, it is the punishment that comes from the sky, and no one can reverse it... But even a sliver of hope is good.”

Even now, Fucaros is unsure what impact Su Chen will have on the prophecy.

But she was certain the prophecy would come true.

After all, it was the punishment of Heaven's justice, and of all things in the world, only Heaven's justice cannot be defied.

Fukaros is currently in a very conflicted state of mind. She hopes that Su Chen can bring a miracle to the prophecy, but at the same time, she is worried that Su Chen's appearance will cause changes to her plans.

That's why she chose not to tell Su Chen. That way, even if Su Chen did nothing, she could still try her best to carry out her plan.

Ultimately, her departure will give the people of Fontaineble hope to survive.

"The Tower of Self?"

"The last place where the Remurian dynasty existed above the sea, I once performed a prophecy there. King Remus was a genius, but unfortunately he could not escape the cycle of fate in the end."

So that's what the tower was called... Su Chen suddenly realized and asked, "I have a question too."

Fukaros chuckled: "Go ahead."

Why did the people of Fontainebleau dissolve into the sea?

"Um..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll turn around and leave, and pretend I was never here."

"Hey hey hey! Wait, wait a minute! >.<"

Seeing that Su Chen was really leaving, Fukalos gave in.

"Ugh...really, kids these days are so unlovable." She muttered helplessly. "Fine, this secret will be revealed sooner or later anyway...it's actually the water of the Primordial Sea of ​​Immortality, something different from ordinary seawater, the origin that nurtured all life on this planet. The people of Fontaine are dissolved by the water of the Primordial Sea of ​​Immortality for some reason...okay, that's all I can tell you, really, please, please don't ask any more questions."

Fukaros clasped her hands together and bowed to Su Chen. Looking at her like this, she didn't have the slightest bit of divine majesty. For a moment, Su Chen thought that Funina had possessed her.

Sure enough, even though they are two different individuals, they ultimately come from the same soul, and Fryna is exactly what Fukaros idealized, so her words and actions naturally carry Fryna's characteristics.
