Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

What's going on?

Jiang Bai asked Nicole in his mind, and the witch let out a soft laugh.

"Heh, let me borrow your eyes to see what's happening in the blind spots of the gods' vision."

Jiang Bai saw someone, someone who looked exactly like Funina.

However, her temperament was completely different from that of Funina.

She stood barefoot on the opera house floor, dressed in a pure blue robe, with a huge azure holy sword above her head.

“Fukaros…”

Jiang Bai immediately realized who it was.

The second-generation water god, Fucarus.

Fryna and Fucarus... what secrets lie behind this?

Did that sword represent her death sentence?

Navelette stared in astonishment at the person before him; this was probably the first time he had ever seen Funina in such a form.

The true form, belonging to the water god.

Fukalos looked relaxed, even in the mood to joke, "Hahaha... Your surprise means I've successfully fooled you."

"Why did the Demon God Fucarus lie to us?"

"My purpose is certainly not to deceive you; what I truly want to deceive... is 'the principles of Heaven.'"

Chapter 894 The Tacit Approval of Heaven?

Having witnessed the conversation between Fucarus and Navelette, Jiang Bai finally understood the whole story of the Fontaine Fable.

Just as the prophecy stele had stated, Ergolia was burdened with sin for turning the water sprites into humans.

After Egolia died, Fucarus took over the position of the water goddess of Fontaine. She also longed to become a human. Faced with the dilemma of the prophecy, she finally came up with a solution.

Since the people of Fontainebleau are burdened with sins, they will not be dissolved by the seawater of womb if their sins are forgiven.

Since you can't do it yourself, find someone who can.

She found the water dragon king Navelette who was wandering the world and lured him to Fontainebleau.

In order to get the Water Dragon King to side with humans, he made Navelette the Supreme Judge and spent hundreds of years getting him to interact with and accept humans.

But that's not enough. The Water Dragon King is not a complete dragon. To enable him to forgive the sins of the Fontaine people, he still needs the other half of the power over water, and this other half of the power over water resides in the throne of the Water God.

Thus began a five-hundred-year-long plan.

Fukaros separated the human-like Funina from himself, allowing Funina to impersonate a god in human form. Funina persisted for five hundred years, and finally, she has persisted to this day.

Fucarus himself, along with his divine portion and the heart of God, merged into the Cardinal of Decree and Judgment.

The decree states that the Cardinals collect a large amount of energy during each trial. A small portion of this energy is used to power Fontaine, while the majority is hoarded to destroy the throne.

This is a tremendous force, so immense that it can kill gods and destroy their thrones.

Five hundred years of accumulation, all for this one moment.

Jiang Bai watched as Fukalos danced gracefully beneath the long sword hanging high, facing death with equanimity.

Rain began to fall from the sky, and Navigette, who had gained all her powers, floated above the opera house, her face covered in water streaks, indistinguishable between rain and tears.

"High Inquisitor Navelette hereby declares! I will pardon the sins of all you Fontaines!"

Unseen by anyone, a heavy rain enveloped the entire city of Fontainebleau. Pure raindrops fell silently on the shoulders of all the people of Fontainebleau, like dew washing away the dust and cleansing away all sins.

No one knew of the god's death; only the sky wept for the god who went to his death.

Looking at Navelette, who was floating in the air and standing silently in the heavy rain, Jiang Bai tried to catch a drop of rain, but when he reached out his hand, he could not touch anything.

"Nico, do you think fate has been changed?"

The sins of the Fontainebleau people have been absolved; they will not dissolve in the water, and even if the water level rises later, they will still have hope of survival.

“Fate can be altered by those who come from beyond it,” Nicole said calmly.

Jiang Bai pondered these words: "The outsider beyond fate"—did it refer to him, or to emptiness?

He remembered several people saying that Sora was also in the wheel of fate, and that he was the one who would eventually ascend the throne.

He was an unexpected outsider, not part of Teyvat's wheel of fate.

But if it refers to himself, he had no involvement in the whole thing; it was all Fucarus's scheme.

Now that Navelette possesses the power of a complete dragon, she must be able to extract the power of the womb from the Star-Devouring Whale, right?

"So now, the shift has been successful, right?"

Nico chuckled lightly, "Heh, have you ever considered that the Water Dragon King becoming a complete dragon is something that was destined to happen?"

"what?"

Jiang Bai was confused by Nico's words.

He tried to ask again, but this time, there was no response.

Jiang Bai's mind was in a mess because of this sentence. When he opened his eyes again, he was already back in the opera house.

He tried to look up at the sky, but the high ceiling of the opera house blocked his view, and he could not see the sky or the island in the sky.

As he learned more and more, the image of [Tianli] in Jiang Bai's mind became more and more like that of a protector who acts according to established rules.

Just as Rai's films created a general to rule Inazuma, Tenri might also be the guardian of the world created by Fanes.

Everything He does is in accordance with the rules and to protect Teyvat.

He prioritizes the optimal solution in everything.

Just like using the Frost Nail to forcefully suppress the earth's veins, He didn't consider anything else; it was simple and brutal.

As for the original man, Phanes, he probably died in the great battle against the Second Throne.

The remaining four ruling parties exist as maintainers, filling gaps and making up for any deficiencies in the "natural law".

However, over the long course of time, Teyvat teetered on the brink of danger several times, and they probably had no strength left to spare.

Now, the principles of Heaven have been dormant for five hundred years.

Did the shattering of the divine throne awaken the principles of Heaven?

This has completely disrupted the previously established order of the seven ruling powers in the mortal realm, making it impossible to remain indifferent.

If He doesn't react upon waking, does that mean He acquiesces?

If He didn't wake up, just how weak was He?

In either case, the outcome is not good.

If the laws of nature acquiesce, it means that Teyvat has entered a dangerous situation, and the laws of nature are no longer following their original rules.

He observes humanity's self-salvation, waiting for the creatures inside the egg to eventually break through and bring new life.

If it does not awaken, it means that the Heavenly Principle is already very weak. Even if the power of the Fetal Sea is completely devoured, it is powerless to stop it and can only helplessly watch Teyvat walk towards death.

Of course, both assumptions can also be true simultaneously.

Heaven was powerless to do anything more, so it tacitly allowed humanity to save itself, waiting for those who tried to break through the eggshell to point their swords at it, the final obstacle.

"What just happened? That light was so blinding!" Navia asked worriedly.

"I have a feeling that something terrible just happened."

Clarind frowned; though she knew nothing, her intuition was never wrong.

Navelette looked toward the spot where the Cardinal of Proclamation had once stood, now empty.

"The death penalty has been carried out. The sins of the Fontaines have been absolved and will not be dissolved."

He looked at the enormous spatial passage that had been torn open when the Star-Devouring Whale appeared, his eyes burning with suppressed rage.

"It's time to end this. It's time to punish that whale."

"Can you handle this by yourself?" Jiang Bai asked.

Just how powerful is the Perfect Dragon?

Navelette shook her head. "Although I have gained enough power to deal with the whale, it is very difficult to suppress it while separating the power of the womb. I need your and Kong's help."

Jiang Bai nodded.

He had been soaking in the amniotic fluid for so long, all for this moment.

Chapter 895 Swire

The people in the opera house looked at Villette and Jiang Bai with some concern as they jumped into the spatial passage together.

“Since the Fontaine people will no longer be dissolved, will the prophecy of the flood still come true?” Navia asked.

Linni shook her head. "I don't know, but there's no point in staying here any longer. We have to prepare for the worst."

"Let's go outside and take a look. Hopefully, nothing serious has happened."

"Where is Funina?" Clorind looked at Funina, who was still silently hanging her head high above.

"Let's leave her alone for now..."

The prophecy's final scene finally came true: the entire waters of Fontainebleau seemed to boil over, with massive amounts of water spreading out and covering the area at an extremely rapid pace.

The low-lying town of Baisong was completely submerged, followed by Fengdanting, and even the high mountains were mostly covered by water.

Elhesen stood on the mountaintop, frowning as he looked at the unreasonable rate of water rise.

Behind him were some scholars from the Order of the Nation who had come to Sumeru with him.

The cooperation with Fontaine was going smoothly until the apocalyptic panic that followed the flooding of Baisong Town caused the Mo Mang Palace to focus all its energy on pacifying the people. Elhesen made a decisive move and led his men to the high mountains outside Fontaine, where they have been camping ever since.

They are outsiders and will not be dissolved by the primordial seawater, and Elhesen will not choose to leave Fontaine at this time and sit idly by.

A large wooden ship made of grass elements floated on the water, and Elhesen's expression was serious:

"Get on the boat, save people!"

……

Taihai was no different from Jiang Bai's last visit, the only difference being that after seeing them arrive, Dadalia, who had collapsed from exhaustion, felt relieved.

Logically speaking, the Star-Devouring Whale shouldn't be that difficult to deal with; he shouldn't have fallen unconscious.

But the Star-Devouring Whale may have sensed the danger and desperately wanted to leave. Once it left, the power of the Fetal Sea that it had devoured would also leave with it.

D'Artagnan did everything in his power to keep it.

"Leave the rest to us."

Upon seeing the three, the Star-Devouring Whale roared in anger.

With a flick of its tail, the fetal sea churned.

Jiang Bai was already quite adept at dealing with this giant whale, and now with the help of Kong and Navelette, suppressing it became much easier.

"The churning of the fetal sea has probably caused the water level to rise..." Kong was a little worried.

“It’s alright, Fontaine is ready.” Navelette looked calm, but the moves she made were anything but weak.

The Star-Devouring Whale is like a stranded whale, struggling helplessly.

The power of the fetal sea was continuously drained away, and the star-devouring whale had no power to resist anymore.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar fluctuation appeared, and the Star-Devouring Whale crystal rapidly crystallized, breaking free from Vilet's restraints, shrinking to the size of a palm, and falling into the hand of the woman who had suddenly appeared.

She seemed to have torn through space to arrive, with a huge spatial rift behind her, and the unconscious D'Artagnan was beside her.

Jiang Bai frowned as he looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared, whose clothes were completely different from those in Teyvat.

He could sense that the girl was extremely powerful, and without knowing whether she was friend or foe, he did not intend to act rashly.

The unfamiliar young woman spoke first; her voice was clear and cold, her tone carrying an innate chill.

"Thank you for helping with the 'cleanup,' this was supposed to be my job. I was just in seclusion cultivating for a while, and I never expected my disciple to get into a fight with Master's pet."

Amidst the three's puzzled gazes, she tossed the unconscious Tartaglia and the Star-Eating Whale into the spatial passage behind her, muttering to herself:
