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

It had great momentum, but the force of its fall was very light.

Under Su Chen's bewildered gaze, Fucaros raised his head and said with a smile, "Alright~ You usurper who tried to pry into the secrets of the gods, that punch was your punishment. Now, the diviner Fucaros tells you that if you dare to reveal the secrets, you will surely suffer divine retribution."

"..."

Am I going to be struck by lightning again? Don't you know Thor is my friend? Believe me or not, I can make a phone call and the lightning won't strike me at all.

"Hmph~ Are you scared?" Fukalos smiled smugly.

That little expression is so similar to Funina's.

Su Chen shrugged: "I've already suffered internal injuries from your beating. If you don't share the secret as compensation, I'll sue you before the God of Justice."

Fucaros was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Pfft, hahaha! Ryder, are you trying to make me laugh to death so you can inherit my godhood?"

"That's because your sense of humor is too low. Besides, what's so great about inheriting the position of the Water God? I can do better with just a flick of my finger."

"Tch~ You're just bragging."

Fukaros admits he has a low threshold for laughter, but the position of water god is coveted by countless demons.

Although she knew that Ryder was very powerful, after all, he could give Frynn such extraordinary power, the prophecy was a curse imposed on Fontaine by the laws of nature, and not to mention the Seven Gods, even the Four Rulers could not defy it.

Otherwise, when Egolia met the Time Ruler, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hide and prevent him from discovering the secrets of the Fontaines.

"Fine, I'll tell you... just a little bit, just a little bit." Fukaros took a deep breath, then looked at Su Chen and said solemnly, "What I'm doing is not deceiving the people of Fontainebleau, but deceiving the principles of heaven!"

Su Chen: "???"

"Surprised? But this is what I have to do. Only in this way can I save Fontaine and its people."

"Ah no... yes, um, I'm very surprised."

"Hmph~ Now you know fear? Your opponent is the law of nature, so young man, you don't need to get involved."

Fukaros raised his hand and patted Su Chen's shoulder, looking like a senior giving advice.

Su Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.

Why is it always the will of Heaven?!

The Ice God wants to defy the laws of nature, the Wind God and the Rock God tacitly agree, the Thunder God doesn't care, and now the Water God wants to interfere too. Hurry up, all my subordinates are a bunch of traitors.

No wonder the guardians of justice were hurt so badly.

Oh wait, I typed the "Supporter" myself, so it's okay now.

But these seven gods also have big problems. If they were all more loyal and helped out, would the maintainer have gotten hurt?

five! All five!

"What's wrong? Are you too scared to speak?" Seeing Su Chen remain silent, Fukaros tilted her head. "You're not that timid, are you? I told you, you don't need to get involved."

Su Chen stroked his chin and said, "Is the disaster in Fengdan related to the eruption of the Primordial Sea of Fetal Water?"

"Huh? You...you found out?"

“This happened in Baisong Town a few days ago; the whole town was almost flooded.”

Fukaros was startled: "What happened in the end?"

Su Chen chuckled: "Don't worry, Funina has already resolved the crisis."

"Phew~" Fukalos patted his chest. "You scared me. Please explain yourself clearly."

"You're the same; you only told half the story."

"Would you like to hear what happens next?"

"think."

"Hmph~ Forget it, I'm afraid it'll scare you so much your legs will go weak."

Su Chen smiled without saying a word.

At this point, based on the information obtained during the simulation, he already knew what Fucarus was going to do.

To deceive the natural order according to prophecy.

If this prophecy is a curse sent down by the heavens, then within the realm of Teyvat, the prophecy will inevitably come true; it is a rule that no one can stop.

From this perspective, Fontaine was submerged, the people of Fontaine dissolved into the sea, and only the water god wept.

The dissolved seawater could not possibly be ordinary seawater; judging from the events in Baisong Town, it was probably the water of the primordial fetal sea.

If the goal is to save Fontaine from the flood, the Water Dragon King is clearly the most suitable candidate, which is why Vilette is here.

A fully-fledged water dragon king is practically invincible on the high seas.

The existence of Funinna is to ensure that the prophecy continues, because the prophecy of the water god weeping alone must be fulfilled by someone.

As for why it wasn't Fukaros who did it, Su Chen knew very well that if Navelette wanted to reach her full dragon form, the power of the ancient dragons had to be returned.

The means to achieve this was the Sword of Damocles hovering above Fucarus's head.

The true water god died, the water dragon ascended the throne, saved Fontaine, and ended with Funina's weeping... Su Chen simulated the entire plan in his mind, and the primary condition for ensuring the plan's success was that the sleeping Heavenly Principle would not awaken as a result.

Yes, although Su Chen is indeed awake now, and has completely simulated the entire process of Fucarus's 'rebellious' act.

Hey, what's going on here? Are you plotting a rebellion with your subordinates right in front of them?

I would appreciate it if the person responsible for maintaining this relationship came out and took the blame.

However, Su Chen still didn't quite understand why the Fengdan people would dissolve in the primordial fetal sea water. He hadn't felt any discomfort when he was soaking in the fetal sea water before, even though his resistance was maxed out... Perhaps this was related to the curse that Heaven had bestowed upon him.

"Alright, stop spacing out." Fucaros took two steps back, put her hands behind her back, and smiled. "That's enough for me to tell you, Ryder. It's really nice to see you again. If you want to help me, could you spare some time to chat with me before anything starts?"

"Okay, I'll come in when I have time." Su Chen nodded with a smile.

"It's a deal then... The All-Encompassing Ritual is about to begin, go ahead, she needs your company more than I do right now~"

She is, after all, a goddess.

But Frynn is a true human being.

Not only has she been carrying the secret of playing the water goddess for hundreds of years, but she is also the only one who remembers Ryder, making her loneliness doubly compounded.

Fukalos waved and smiled, "See you next time."

Goodbye... Su Chen looked at her calmly.

Suddenly, Fukalos began to dance.

Those smooth feet stepped onto the stage, and her figure moved gracefully.

A beautiful song rang in Su Chen's ears—

"Ah, if only I could return to the water."

"Can the world ever return to its original beauty?"

"Please forgive our mistakes, Mother."

"Life follows the murmuring stream."

"To bring life back to the city-state."

"And also to nourish you, my dearest..."

"..."

The scene before my eyes was blurry, like ripples on the surface of water.

The space of consciousness disappeared, replaced by an empty opera house stage.

Su Chen stood on the stage, his thoughts still immersed in Fukaros's singing. The song, sung by her, seemed to have been imbued with magic, deeply attracting Su Chen's attention.

He really wanted to ask what the song was called.

After a long while, Su Chen let out a soft breath.

"You're so stubborn, you're not even going to say anything?"

Well, there's a kind of feeling that's so sensible it's heartbreaking. Whether it's Fukaros or Funina, they're probably both like that.

A benevolent and gentle God who survived.

In this light, the world of Teyvat is actually quite good; at least the gods of the seven kingdoms are generally quite good.

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey! You over there, the performance hasn't started yet, who let you in!" A guard appeared at the entrance of the opera house.

I was in charge of the final check before the performance started, but I didn't expect to find a stowaway as soon as I entered.

Su Chen turned around and said with a smile, "I'm just taking a look around."

"Do you know the consequences of trespassing on the opera house?"

The guard walked to the front of the stage, frowned and said, "Come down quickly, the performance is about to begin, and Lady Funina is about to enter. You can't afford to disturb the Water God."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another voice came from the doorway.

"Get out!"

Clarin walked quickly toward them.

"Ah, Lady Clorinde, you've arrived."

“He is Lady Frinna’s friend,” Clorinde said sternly. “Do not be rude.”

The guard was startled: "Yes, yes!"

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, he was just doing his duty. It was I who came in without permission."

Clarind bowed slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Ryder."

"Lord Ryder?!"

Is that Ryder, the one whose name I've heard but never met?

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you..."

"It's okay, go and do your work."
