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

"He is the one who changed Fontaine, and also the one forgotten by Fontaine... Clorind, if you still acknowledge me as your instructor, then please maintain your respect and humility towards Lord Ryder from now on. If I discover any overstepping of your bounds, I will personally punish you."

Claurind was taken aback, then replied, "I will, Lady Aina."

"Ah."

It has been more than four hundred years.

Fontaine has forgotten Lord Ryder for so long.

This is not fair.

Aina wanted everyone to remember her, but Su Chen didn't care about that.

"I'll be leaving for a bit. You stay here and maintain order in the theater."

Noticing the gaze from the corner, Aina gave an order and walked towards a corner.

In the corner stood a Fontainebleau man dressed in ordinary clothes.

Upon seeing Aina, she respectfully said, "Lady Aina, this is a letter from your servant."

...

Here.

Su Chen wandered around for a couple of minutes, then, taking advantage of the guards' inattention, turned around and slipped into the opera house.

He still remembers what the familiar, empty theater looked like when it was first built.

"More than four hundred years is but a blink of an eye."

Standing before the massive cardinal decree, Su Chen quietly observed everything around him.

Suddenly, a wisp of consciousness emanated from the Cardinal of Judgment.

He raised his hand and gently tapped the void.

The surrounding environment was swallowed up by the consciousness space, and the point where Su Chen's fingertip fell gently touched the outstretched finger opposite him.

“After you left, I sealed everything off here, waiting quietly in a place where time seemed to stand still. Darkness swallowed all sound, and light could not bring any hope. Ah, those lonely times were truly agonizing…” Fukaros slowly opened her eyes, her azure pupils filled with surprise and longing. “Ryder… is it really you?”

Su Chen smiled slightly: "Fukaros, long time no see."

...

Chapter 141 Fukaros: I'm Going to Deceive Heaven's Law Su Chen: Huh? [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

Upon hearing Fukaros's words, Su Chen knew that the other party still had memories of him.

Clearly, in the rules, she and Funina were judged to be the same person.

'Only the Water God in all of Fontaine remembers Ryder,' these are the words that Frynn said to him. According to the former, when the court sentenced him, she declared that he should remember Ryder.

However, when Funina talked about this, her face turned a little red for some reason.

"Fucarus, it's been a long time." Su Chen said with a smile as he looked at the beautiful woman standing so close to him.

"I thought I was dreaming... I still feel like I'm dreaming." Fukaros blinked her azure eyes. She had been in a semi-sleep state, so she was shocked by Su Chen's appearance, and even a little... startled, seeing her dead friend jumping around in front of her?

Su Chen chuckled: "Are you awake now?"

Fukalos smiled and said, "If this is a dream, I wish it could last forever."

"Don't worry, I'll be here when you wake up."

"Oh dear, stop talking, it's getting too cheesy."

Fukalos chuckled, a glimmer of light appearing in her previously dejected eyes, like the dawn breaking in the darkness. As she awoke, time seemed to begin to flow throughout her consciousness.

"Hmm...how many years? I can hardly remember."

She closed her eyes, her consciousness probing out of the space, gathering information from the outside world.

"More than four hundred years, has that been a long time already?"

Su Chen chuckled and said, "You don't even know this? What if the house floods while you're sleeping?"

"Don't worry, I'll wake up by then. It's all because of you." Fukalos rolled her eyes at Su Chen. "I was really worried about attracting the attention of the Heavenly Law with all this sudden commotion. I had no choice but to seal this place off to avoid being discovered."

Thinking about this made her feel helpless.

Before, at least I could occasionally peek outside.

Suddenly, Fontaine exploded. The water goddess Funina judged the air and unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on the dead Su Chen, almost blowing up Fontaine itself.

Fukaros could sense that it was a power beyond elemental force, and although the final area it covered was not large, it was hard to guarantee that Sky Island wouldn't notice it.

So, in order for the plan to succeed, she had no choice but to close the place off.

For the first hundred years, she did not fall asleep.

During her hundred years of solitude, no one spoke to her, and she could not see outside. All she could see was the sword hanging above her head, as if constantly reminding her of her impending death... In this closed space devoid of hope and filled only with despair, even a god could not endure it.

Not to mention, Fucarus, whose greatest dream was to become human, was far less divine than the other gods.

Loneliness...solitude...empty daydreams. I look up, and death hangs in the air, walking towards me...

"Phew! But it's so good to see you after waking up..." After saying that, Fukaros tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "How did you do that? I felt like you were dead."

When a person dies, their light goes out; this is irreversible and one of the greatest orders of the world.

Su Chen shrugged: "Can't you be a little cuter like Funina? She never asks me these things."

"Hmph~ That's because, to her, your existence is the greatest blessing." Fukaros turned and walked to the center of the stage with her hands behind her back. "That child is too kind, strong yet fragile. She's probably afraid of touching that unknowable secret. The more she knows, the more afraid she becomes. What if your return is like a fragile bubble? If that's the case, she'd rather carefully protect you for the rest of her life and never touch you."

"how about you?"

"Me? Well... I'm worried too, but I have more important things to do." Fukaros chuckled. "You are a variable that exists. If you disappear, my plan can proceed smoothly. If you exist, I can have a friend to chat with and relieve my boredom. So either way, it's a win-win situation."

Su Chen was speechless: "You really are a shrewd shrewd businessman."

"Please call me the fortune teller, Fucarus."

"What is this? Why would a perfectly good demon god give up being a charlatan?"

"Because it's so interesting, isn't it? The book says things like, 'I see your face is dark, and you will surely suffer a bloody disaster within three days,' and then they naturally sell a bunch of divine talismans, haha~ I remember reading the story of Liyue five hundred years ago, it's so interesting."

Fukaros sighed, looked up, and smiled. "Sigh~ Liyue... I really want to go see it, and other places too. Ryder, how long do you think it would take to walk all over Teyvat?"

"Well," Su Chen stroked his chin, "if we travel to every place, a hundred years might not be enough, but two hundred years should be enough."

Back then, when he and Alice traveled across the continent, they visited almost every place. Moreover, they flew back then, so they could fly to a place and then have a good time, saving a lot of time.

In modern terms, it's like traveling by plane or high-speed train; it's a completely different concept from traveling on foot.

"Oh dear~ two hundred years... I should have tried it earlier if I had known it would turn out like this."

"Fukaros said regretfully."

That being said, Su Chen knew she wouldn't do that.

By dividing oneself into two parts, subjecting both one's divine and human selves to immense mental pressure, and having prepared so much to achieve the plan, how could one possibly take unnecessary risks out of greed?

"We can try it later," Su Chen said with a smile.

"And then..." Fucarus looked up, "What did you call that before?"

"The Sword of Damocles foreshadows the ever-present crisis."

"Oh right, that's a very apt analogy... So, I can't leave here."

"And then what happens after the crisis is over?"

"The crisis is over..." Fukaros paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right. If you haven't disappeared by then, would you be willing to be my guide and show me around Teyvat?"

Su Chen didn't speak. He looked up at the sword and said, "This sword will bring punishment upon its target. If the crisis is over, it means its mission is complete."

"Oh dear, is that so?" A hint of panic flashed in Fukaros's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. "Well... that's how it is. But according to my plan, there shouldn't be any major problems. Maybe you misunderstood. Although this sword is hanging above my head, it symbolizes the crisis in Fontaine and is aimed at Fontaine. But no matter what, it can't possibly hang in the sky above Fontaine, right?"

"Um..."

Fukalos, the way you lie is just like Funina.

Su Chen chuckled: "That's right. So what's your plan? Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can be of some help."

"Well."

Fukaros frowned.

"If you don't tell me and I do it myself, I won't be responsible if it disrupts your plans."

"Isn't this exactly what you said more than four hundred years ago?"

Fukalos said helplessly, "That's true, but times have changed. Back then, she didn't really trust Su Chen, but now... I can only say that Su Chen is perhaps the only person she can confide in."

Fryna was in pain carrying a secret, and so was Frucaros.

No one can truly face death with equanimity, especially someone like her who was full of hope for life.

The greater the expectation, the greater the fear of death.

From this perspective, Fukaros's mental pressure is no less than that of Funina.

That's precisely why she's afraid of failure. Despite the immense pressure, she still pushes forward with the plan, proving her terrifyingly strong dedication to it.

"They really do look alike, or rather, they should look alike, since these two are from the same origin..." Su Chen shook his head inwardly and said, "I am the one who disappeared, so I can perfectly intervene in your plan, right? Perhaps there are some inconspicuous details that you haven't noticed, and I can remind you."

"Or perhaps, I could simply be a listener?"

For Funina, even just listening quietly and being able to share secrets was a form of salvation.

"cunning."

Fukaros lowered his head and uttered two words.

She stood still, to her Su Chen's words like bait thrown out by the devil.

Suddenly, she rushed over, pounding her little fist into Su Chen's chest—"Hey! Take this!"

bang~
