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

However, since Lord Ryder has said so, she only needs to do as he says.

"Wait, two million Mora is a bit too little." Su Chen thought for a moment. He used to be a traveler, after all. When did risking his life become so cheap? Hey, hey, hey, Demon God-level combat power... "Give me five million."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Wait until Aina leaves.

Su Chen asked, "Servant, have you obtained the stone tablet?"

When he first read Alice's diary, he learned that the ruins near Baisong Town held the secret of Fontaine's history of being submerged.

When Alice investigated the flooding of the people of Baisong Town by the waters of the Primordial Sea of ​​Immortality, she discovered a stone tablet in the ruins. The tablet recorded the history of the Fontaine people, who evolved from pure water spirits, and its contents seemed to correspond exactly to the prophecy.

This is the proof of the water god's original sin, and also the basis for this judgment.

"We got it. There were four pieces in total. One of them had fallen into the seabed, and it took some time to find it."

"That's good. These will be useful at the trial tomorrow."

“Yes, Lord Ryder.” After saying that, the servant hesitated for a moment and said, “Um… news of your affairs in Fontaine will probably soon reach the Kingdom of Winter. If the Queen asks, how should I answer her?”

If the commotion from the previous Wanfa Ritual hadn't reached Zhidong, then now that Fengdan is judging the gods, this matter, regardless of the outcome, will definitely attract the attention of various countries. I wonder if Zhidong has the ability to do so?

If there's absolutely no news, then it's her problem as the head of intelligence.

"Hmm..." Su Chen rubbed his temples. The tree branches were still sticking out, and the students over there were restless. "Just tell her I have my own plans and that she shouldn't interfere. I'll go to Zhidong and talk to her after this is over."

Tell her to mind her own business... The servant's expression was strange; after all, that was the Empress.

She's becoming increasingly curious about the relationship between Su Chen and Empress Zhidong.

No, not only the Empress, but also... As the head of intelligence, she was genuinely curious about this matter, but even if she were given a hundred lives, she wouldn't dare to delve into it. Not to mention Su Chen, Aina would definitely give her a good whack on the head.

...

The next day.

The opera house has officially opened!

After these days of development, the entire nation of Fontaine is focused on the trial of the Water God, and the people of Fontaine are now clearly divided into two factions regarding this matter.

Driven by fear of the approaching prophecy, one side attempts to find answers about the primordial sea of ​​wombs and the truth behind the prophecy through the trial of Funina.

As for the other party, it is naturally the person who unconditionally trusts Funina.

Besides these two voices, there are also quite a few people who are simply watching the drama unfold.

Never underestimate the desires of onlookers; more than the calamities predicted, they want to witness the historic moment of divine judgment.

So, the moment the opera house doors opened, the three parties joined together and entered the audience.

Snapped!

Under the spotlight.

All eyes were on her in the VIP section, where Fu Ningna sat calmly in a high-backed chair.

"here we go!"

"Judgment of the Water God... I never thought I would witness this scene."

"It's incredible. No matter what the outcome of the trial, this scene will be recorded in history."

"Why won't Lady Furina reveal the prophecy? Is she truly burdened with sin?"

"Hmph! Such disrespect towards Lady Funina will be punished!"

There was a commotion inside the theater.

"Wow~ It's so lively! The opera house is packed with people attending the trial." Paimon, sitting in the front row, said with some trepidation, "Traveler, do you think the water god is guilty? Judging the god of justice... is this really possible?"

Ying shook her head: "No matter what, we'll have results today."

“Yes…” Paimon suddenly leaned closer and whispered, “Su Chen, if the Water God falls, will you, as the Water God’s messenger, be in trouble?”

Su Chen retorted, "Do I look like someone who's going to get into trouble?"

"Not like."

"That's it."

"So what exactly is your relationship with the water god?"

"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."

"???"

As he spoke, Su Chen raised his head and looked at the huge proclamation machine on the stage.

Above, the golden card [Original Sin] is radiating an inexplicable power. With this power, the source of judgment will shift from Frynn to Fucarus.

The audience members were not puzzled by this miraculous scene; they simply assumed it was a special effect of the trial of the water god.

At this moment, Su Chen looked at the Proclamation Machine, his gaze traversing the consciousness space through the power of the Rule Card, meeting the eyes of Fukaros inside.

"Ryder, what have you done?!" Fucaros was both shocked and frightened. The power of the rules enveloped her, and the trial had begun. Funina was being judged by her people as prophesied... But Fucaros felt something was wrong. Was this really the trial foretold in the prophecy? The power of the trial directly affected her, indicating that she had been exposed, even though the people in the audience were unaware of her existence.

She fears that the power of Heavenly Justice, the rule of judgment, will awaken; if that happens, everything will be over.

Su Chen smiled at her, then sat in the audience with his gaze unchanged.

"Judgment of the Water God, begin."

Navette's voice remained calm.

Because of the special nature of the trial, with the water god as the accuser, no one on the other side is qualified to be the accuser. Therefore, the accuser in this case is not a single person, but a team of representatives selected from among the many citizens of Fontaine.

The accusation group, led by Bruno, a nobleman from Baisong Town, and consisting of more than a dozen people, was unprecedented in the history of Fontaine.

"Lady Furna!" Bruno exclaimed, "That ancient prophecy that still exists in Fontaine, wasn't it you who caused it?!"

“A prophecy?” Furina leaned back in her chair, propping her cheek with one hand, and looked down at her. “My people, before you utter such words, have you considered the consequences of standing in that position for too long? I can be merciful to my people, but I will not tolerate such overstepping my bounds. If you have thought it through, then tell me your will.”

With an air of authority, Su Chen told her that by participating in this trial, the plan had already been accomplished. She was the one being judged, but at the same time, she was also the judge.

Although I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, it all boils down to acting, and that's something Fu Ningna excels at.

Moreover, after receiving Su Chen's promise, Funina felt that there was nothing left to be afraid of.

She, Funina, is going to save Fontaine!

I will save you, regardless of whether you agree or not!

If you treat this trial as an ordeal to save Fontaine, all your initial anxiety will vanish instantly.

Bruno and the others froze for a moment.

"Lady Furina, there's no need to change the subject. Since we're standing here, we're already prepared," Bruno said in a deep voice. "This is a matter of life and death for the entire Fontaine. Even if we bear the name of injustice, we will make sure everyone knows the truth!"

"Hmph~ To consider me, the Demon God Fucaros, as an opponent and still dare to say such a thing, your courage is commendable." Funina revealed a confident smile. "So, what is the evidence you have for your accusations?"

Bruno said, "You have been hiding the secret about the Primordial Sea of ​​Pregnancy water, even after the truth about the missing girl's case came to light."

"So what?" Funina changed her expression and continued to prop her cheek up. "I am a deity. I have my reasons for not speaking. It is a sin for you to presume to know the thoughts of a deity."

“But that’s not what you said at the Academy of Sciences!” another representative exclaimed. “You’ve had the Academy monitor the water level for hundreds of years now, which means you’ve long anticipated that the prophecy would come true.”

"You concealed the dangers of the fetal water and spent hundreds of years trying to find a way to break the prophecy. We appreciate your efforts, but if it weren't for your problem, why couldn't you tell us?"

Funina scoffed, "How can mortals resolve the disaster that threatens Fontaine?"

"Then, similarly, how could we insignificant mortals have committed the crime of destroying Fontaine? If this disaster was not caused by natural disaster, then it could only be you, standing on the throne of gods, who could have done it?"

Funina was taken aback: "This claim has absolutely no basis. How can it be used as an accusation?"

Navelette shook her head and said, "No, the charges stand."

Kakakka~

The decree instructed the Cardinal to tip the scales in favor of the indicting team.

This scene gave a boost to those who had been skeptical.

The Oracle Machine does not make decisions based on the will of the Water God. This is something that Funina has publicly stated. The Oracle Machine has been operating autonomously since the beginning of creation, which also demonstrates the absolute fairness of the God of Justice.

She once declared this, asking her people to praise her selflessness.

I never expected that I would end up shooting myself in the foot.

"Is there even such logic?" A flicker of panic crossed Furna's eyes... What to do? No one would believe this was a natural disaster, right? Could it really be the water god's fault? Waaaa... Ryder...

No, the trial cannot end here, the water god will not fall here!

Taking a deep breath and calming herself, Funina's mind raced, and she came up with a good idea.

"My people, you seem to have forgotten one thing." She rose from her seat and proclaimed loudly, "Five hundred years! I have only been the Water Goddess for five hundred years, and the prophecy already existed before that! Tell me, how could I have committed the sins of the Water Goddess before I became one?"

wow~

There was an uproar in the audience.

"Yes, it seems we've all forgotten that."

"Even if it was the water god who committed the crime, it certainly wasn't Lady Funina's crime, was it?"

"She hadn't even become the water goddess yet!"

"Lady Furina is indeed innocent!"

Bruno and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Damn it, now they all think Funina is innocent.

If it was the previous water god's crime, then what does it have to do with Funina?

She has been dedicated to resolving prophecies since taking office, and she is not guilty at all; on the contrary, her people should be grateful to her.

“But…but…” Bruno insisted, “Lady Furina, you have become the Water Goddess, inheriting the mission and responsibility. You have been solving prophecies for five hundred years, so you must know the truth, right? If the crime has nothing to do with you, we implore you to make it public!”

Funina put her hands on her hips and said, "I refuse. You have no right to demand that I do such a thing."

"In that case, we also have reason to suspect that you are concealing the truth in order to cover up your own crimes!"

Funina remained silent, her gaze fixed on the proclamation machine.

The scales have returned to the middle, proving that neither side gained the upper hand in the previous standoff. However, a draw means the accusations are unfounded, which is what she needs to do: defend herself as the water goddess. Whatever the outcome, as long as she does her best, that's enough.

"They can't succeed."
