Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

The Ice Queen took a deep breath, stood up, and stared at Morax: "So... the reason the God of Contracts convened the Seven Gods Conference this time is to tell us this?"

"In that case, may I assume that you intend to abandon the contract you previously signed with me and abandon your original plan?"

Morax shook his head: "From a purely rational standpoint, the option that person offered is indeed a better option for Teyvat at this moment."

"However, the success rate is ultimately too slim. It's worth a try, but you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Barbatos stopped drinking: "Ha~ The old man is still so calm and reassuring, I think that's good!"

"The original plan will proceed as scheduled, and we can also give that suggestion a try, can't we?"

"If that one succeeds in the end, everyone will be happy. If they fail, we still have the original plan to cover it up. No matter how you look at it, we won't lose out."

"But old man, what's the price?"

Morax sneered, "Ha~ What kind of help can we offer to an existence like that?"

"Like that being in the heavens, has the 'fate' it set ever considered the thoughts of other living beings?"

"Perhaps the other party needs to get what they want through this 'experiment,' or perhaps after this incident, someday in the future, once we Teyvats have integrated into that world and grown stronger, we can gamble on our future potential and perhaps be of some help someday."

"It just so happens that what they offered was exactly what we needed at the moment, and we had no other choice, that's all."

"What right do those who cannot even break free from 'fate' have to talk about so-called consequences?"

Upon hearing this, all the gods present fell silent.

Yes, although Morax's words are harsh, that's the truth.

The other party is capable of doing what even the former king in the heavens could not do. Even if it is only a concept now and has not yet been realized, at least the other party dares to think this way.

Even if it were Phanes himself, at the height of his power, he probably would never have imagined such a solution.

No, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.

"That's fine too. With that person's help, we can break free from our predetermined 'fate' first, and worry about the future later."

"After all, Teyvat offers a much broader stage, and I believe that with the potential of our people, it will surely shine brightly in the future!"

Mavica raised her glass, took a small sip, and smiled.

As someone who was reincarnated into this era from over five hundred years ago using the sacred fire, no one understands the potential of humanity better than her.

In Nata, both in the past and present, humans can use their own power to defeat the former Fire Dragon King and negotiate with the ruler of death, Ronawa.

By harnessing the power of unity, we were able to drive the abyss out of our borders five hundred years ago.

Even if the Abyss were to return now, she would be confident that, just like five hundred years ago, she could drive it out again or even defeat it completely!

As someone who ascended from human to goddess, she naturally had more confidence in the future of humanity than the other gods present.

Morax nodded slightly in return.

We've come all the way from the Demon God War to the present day.

Although he personally led the immortals into many of the more difficult battles.

But no matter the era, the power of humanity should not be underestimated.

In ancient times, there were three thousand soldiers from the Thousand Rocks Army who could fight demons and gods when they formed an array.

Five hundred years ago, under the command of the Yaksha Fushe, they were able to hold out for two hundred miles in the deep abyss of layered rocks without retreating an inch.

Even though Liyue has been at peace for a long time, there are still people who dare to stand up and question whether the gods' decisions are never wrong, which makes him think about bringing Liyue into an era of human rule.

"In that case, let's settle this matter here."

"The previous plan will proceed as scheduled. We'll wait until that entity begins its actions and then see if we can succeed in one go."

"If things go smoothly, it's not a big deal to abandon the original plan."

"On the contrary, after this meeting, when you return home, remember to remind your people to develop their countries as soon as possible."

"Whether it's technology or individual capabilities, we should improve them as soon as possible."

"In the future... there are even bigger stages and challenges waiting for us to take on."

Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Morax smiled slightly, said his words, stood up, nodded to everyone, and left.

He also needs to rush back to Liyue as soon as possible to give the people of Liyue a final divine decree and test before the "retirement" plan is implemented, taking advantage of the upcoming summoning ceremony.

Thus, Liyue, who have walked alongside the gods for over 3,700 years, will also have the ability to protect themselves when they go to a wider stage in the future.

The other gods exchanged glances and then departed as well.

"Hey~ wait a minute! Why did you all leave? What am I supposed to do now?!"

In the Arena of Sacred Flame, the entire meeting proceeded without a word being spoken. Funina, who had simply recorded everything she heard, intending to relay the meeting's contents back to Fukaros through the mirror, was utterly bewildered.

No, she's just an ordinary person!

Didn't you know to bring her here, or send her back to Fontainebleau?

Are you suggesting we let her walk all the way back to Fontainebleau from Nata by herself?

There are so many monsters on the road, what should we do if something happens?

Shouldn't the headline in Fontainebleau be: Shocking! The God of Fontainebleau suddenly disappears, only to be found dead in Nata?

That would be a diplomatic incident!

"Hey~ I almost forgot, there's also you, little girl~"

Halfway there, Barbatos received a message on the wind and realized he had almost forgotten about Funina.

It's also because Morax's news at this meeting of the Seven Gods was too shocking, and coupled with the fact that he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol beforehand, it made the already unreliable Barbatos even more unreliable.

"Alright, alright, I'm back now, aren't I?"

"Little girl, you are, after all, the nominal ruler of Fontaine, the dignified Water Goddess. Are you going to cry?"

Barbatos scratched his head, looking at the tearful Funina in front of him, feeling even more overwhelmed.

"Hmph~ It's all your fault!"

"Suddenly appearing and bringing people to this place, saying it was for some kind of Seven Gods Conference, then so abruptly revealing my identity to others, and then spouting so many shocking news on my own..."

"If this were Fontainebleau, I would definitely arrest you and lock you up in Mero Petersburg!"

Funin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stubbornly continued speaking.

She was on tenterhooks all day long; do you know how scared she was?

"Oh~ Does the Melo Petersburg have any good wine?" Barbatos didn't seem to care about the little girl's threat at all, and his focus was not surprising at all.

But this is not unusual for Barbatos.
