Chapter 531: Will Being Discovered Weaken It? The Pitfalls of the Path of Enigmata!
[Paimon: Is that real? Ms. Furina embarked on a Path with her own strength?]
[Venti: This is truly amazing, no wonder we didn't enter the spiritual universe space where we could see the Aeon.]
[Paimon: No, you just believe that?]
[Venti: Since Luo Feng said it, it must be true.]
[Charlotte: As expected of the Water God, she actually embarked on a Path with her own strength.]
[Mavuika: It's really amazing, this is the first time in so long.]
[Neuvillette: It's really not simple, Ms. Furina.]
[Chasca: Ms. Furina embarked on a Path with her own strength, so can she embrace a Path again with Luo Fengs Blessing later?]
[Kachina: In that case, wouldn't Ms. Furina be a dual Pathstrider?!]
[Neuvillette: If it's under the influence of Luo Fengs Blessing, there is indeed such a possibility. The premise is that Furina still has the potential suitable for a certain Path.]
[Paimon: Am I the only one curious about what Path Furina has embarked on?]
Swish!
A gust of wind swept past, instantly bringing the The Knave, who was surprised by the presence of another Luo Feng in the audience, back to her senses.
She quickly turned her head and saw the more than 3-meter tall Lighting Lord faintly appearing behind the "Luo Feng" on the stage wielding a Devastator Glaive and slashing towards her.
There was nothing she could do, the The Knave had to summon her scythe and block with all her might.
With a clang, the The Knave's body instantly retreated several meters.
By the time she finally managed to adjust her body, the Lighting Lord, which had not yet fully condensed into a physical form, attacked the The Knave again.
For a time, the The Knave could only struggle to cope.
"Um... what should we do now?"
Navia asked Clorinde beside her.
"I don't know." Clorinde shook her head and looked at Luo Feng in the audience:
"Perhaps we should consult Luo Feng."
"Alright, it's also a good time to ask what's going on."
Navia nodded.
Because she hadn't been paying attention to the Teyvat Forum, she didn't know that Furina had already embarked on a Path.
She could, of course, feel the strong Power of Destiny on the "Luo Feng" on the stage.
But Navia at this moment still thought it was created by Luo Feng himself.
As soon as Navia and Clorinde took a step to leave the stage, the "Luo Feng" who was originally beside Furina immediately swung an energy wave towards Navia and Clorinde.
Navia instinctively raised her axe-sword to block the incoming attack, then looked at "Luo Feng" in confusion and asked:
" Luo Feng, what are you doing?"
"Why are you attacking me and Clorinde?"
She couldn't help but care, after all, Luo Feng was too powerful.
Even though the previous attack from "Luo Feng" seemed a little weaker to her, it was still enough to make Navia take it seriously."
The 'Luo Feng' on the stage wasn't created by me at all."
"That is the me in Furina's impression, created by her own strength."
"That 'Luo Feng' will attack you, probably because you are also going to turn off the third spotlight."
Luo Feng in the audience raised his hand and shouted to Navia, Clorinde, and the The Knave.
"What? Furina has already embarked on a Path?"
"Why didn't we enter the spiritual universe space where we could pay homage to the Aeon?"
Navia was stunned.
This was completely different from when she had embarked on the Beauty Path before.
"Because Furina stepped onto the Path through her own ability."
"Of course, you have no way to enter the spiritual Universe space."
Luo Feng said.
To be honest, even he himself was a bit surprised.
The Aeon he sensed, who seemed to be starting to pay attention to Furina because of his "Blessing," had not yet officially cast its gaze this way.
As a result, Furina unexpectedly stepped onto the Path on her own, unintentionally.
It's just a pity that Furina stepping onto the Path in this manner cannot bring him the lottery reward.
"Oh right, the Path that Furina stepped onto is the Path opened up by the mysterious Aeon."
"It is precisely because of the characteristics of the Path of Enigmata that Furina can use its power to weave the 'me' in her impression."
Luo Feng reminded.
[Paimon: So it was the mysterious Aeon who did it.]
[Lisa: You can't explain it like that. According to Luo Feng, Ms. Furina just unintentionally stepped onto the Path opened up by the mysterious Aeon.]
[Cloud Retainer: Indeed! Judging by the way Ms. Furina obtained the Path, this time it might not have much to do with the mysterious Aeon.]
[La Signora: The only thing that can be confirmed is that Furina's previous performance is consistent with the performance of the mysterious Aeon's Path.]
[Hu Tao: Mysterious, mysterious! By name, it seems like one must maintain mystery to step onto the Path of Enigmata?]
"...The mysterious Aeon, I remember you said before it was a Aeon called 'Myst."
"How did Furina step onto the Path of Enigmata that He opened up?"
Lumine asked curiously.
Navia and Clorinde, who were confronting the " Luo Feng"on stage, and the The Knave, who was confronting the Lighting Lord, all involuntarily perked up their ears.
Even though they were still fighting at this moment, it did not prevent them from being curious about the mysterious Aeon, a Aeon they did not yet fully understand.
"Speaking of the mysterious Aeon, it's actually quite easy to understand."
Luo Feng smiled and explained:
"The two words 'mysterious' can almost explain everything about Him."
"This Aeon, whose form is unknown, believes that things-in-themselves are unknowable, and finite things cannot imagine the infinite, hence all things are mysteries."
"The idea that all things can be recognized is utter nonsense. Life, relying only on a limited grasp of laws, begins to deduce unsolved matters, unaware that the Universe is inexhaustible and truth is actually an illusion."
"He believes that being too certain about everything in the world will cause possible variables to be destroyed."
"Therefore, He cast down His power, cast down the fog of thought and the rain of perception, and through appearances, layers, riddles, and illusions, revealed the ineffable truth to the world."
Lumine rubbed her head:
"Hmm, I don't quite understand, it feels like my brain is growing."
Luo Feng raised his hand and placed it on Lumine's head, continuing:
"In a nutshell, the mysterious Aeon is a riddle person."
"He likes to spread lies in the Universe, preventing people from exploring the truth of certain matters."
Lumine made a fist with her right hand and hit her left palm, saying with understanding:
"Now that you say it, I understand. It's just being a riddle person to deceive people."
[Paimon: That's really eye-opening, there's actually a Aeon who likes to deceive people! I really want to see what He looks like.
It's a pity, this time Furina obtained the power of the Path of Enigmata, but we cannot see His image.]
[Kaeya: Since He's a Aeon who likes to be a riddle person, I think seeing Him should be a very difficult thing.]
[Alice: He's a riddle person, so He definitely doesn't like appearing in front of others in His true form. Maybe the reason He hasn't descended because of Luo Feng's "Blessing" is because He wants to remain mysterious.]
[Barbeloth: What you said here seems to make sense. But if that's the case, won't we never have a chance to see this mysterious Aeon in the future?]
[Alice: Not necessarily. With a bug-level existence like Lord Luo Feng, even the mysterious Aeon who wants to remain mysterious will surely be pulled into that wondrous Aeon space by him one day.]
" Luo Feng, can you tell me more about the mysterious Aeon?"
Lumine asked curiously.
It's rare to encounter a Aeon she doesn't fully understand yet, so Lumine naturally wanted to learn more about Him.
"Let's talk about it later."
Luo Feng shook his head, looked at the few people fighting on the stage, and said:
"Right now, compared to understanding the mysterious Aeon, aren't there other things on the stage that need our attention?"
"That's true." Lumine nodded, also looking at the "Lord Luo Feng," "Lighting Lord," Navia, Clorinde, and the The Knave on the stage.
"Speaking of which, is it just my imagination?"
"Why does it feel like the ' Luo Feng' and 'Lighting Lord' that Furina created using the power of the Path of Enigmata have become a bit weaker?"
"Could it be that she hasn't gone far enough on the Path of Enigmata, and her energy is insufficient?"
"In one aspect, that is indeed the case. As for the other aspect..."
Luo Feng stroked his chin and said:
"I think it's because of the characteristics of the Path of Enigmata."
"When ' Luo Feng' and 'Lighting Lord' were realized by Clorinde, Navia, and the The Knave to be fake."
"The power of ' Luo Feng' and 'Lighting Lord' will likely weaken rapidly."Lumine's eyes widened slightly, and she said:
"There's actually a characteristic like that. Is it like how a lie becomes worthless after it's exposed?"
"Exactly." Luo Feng replied.
[Rhinedottir: Is this the drawback of the Path of Enigmata?]
[Kachina: If you calculate it this way, doesn't the power of the Path of Enigmata have much effect?]
[Xilonen: The premise is if you can see through the lie woven with the Path of Enigmata. If you can't see through the lie, the power contained within it will probably be slightly stronger than ordinary power.]
[Mavuika: Indeed! And the fact that she can create a fake " Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord" is enough to be intimidating.]
[Dehya: Yes, if they hadn't realized that the " Luo Feng" was a fake Luo Feng, Navia, Clorinde, and the The Knave would probably have been too scared to attack.]
[Charlotte: So the power of the Path of Enigmata is still quite useful, isn't it? It's just a pity that Lord Luo Feng is below the stage, and Navia, Clorinde, and the The Knave have already discovered Lord Luo Feng's presence.]
[Chevreuse: There's no need to be so pessimistic. At least Furina has already embraced the Path, so there's probably no need for the The Knave to turn off the third spotlight and expose her secret.]
[Charlotte: That's true, but I really want to understand the Water God more. I'm sorry, Furina, I didn't mean to think like that.]
[Lisa: After all, Charlotte is a reporter, and curiosity is a reporter's nature... Hmm?! Did the " Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord" on the stage suddenly get a little stronger again?]
[Paimon: Did they, did they? Weren't " Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord" already seen through? Wait, the "Lighting Lord" is getting bigger?]
...
Ding!
Bang!
Amidst a series of clanging sounds of metal, Navia, Clorinde, and the The Knave were forced to converge.
In front of them stood the " Luo Feng" holding the Devastator Glaive: Starfall Reverie and the "Lighting Lord" whose form had solidified somewhat.
"What's going on? They were clearly about to disappear earlier."
"Why are they getting stronger again now?"
Clorinde asked with a strange look.
"Could it be that Furina is exerting herself again?"
The The Knave looked curiously at Furina, who was staring intently at them.
"This is troublesome, can we not fight?"
"Anyway, Furina has already obtained the Path.
"Navia, who was forced into the battle, let out a deep sigh.Hearing this, the The Knave immediately said:
" Luo Feng below the stage did not stop us, I think we should continue."
Although Furina had already obtained the Path, this did not hinder her idea of continuing to explore the secret in Furina's heart.
Perhaps Furina, having stepped onto the Path, already possessed the ability to solve the Fontaine prophecy.
But it must be known that as a Fatui Harbinger, she also had the goal of bringing the Water God's Gnosis back to the Cryo Archon.
Furina had already stepped onto the Path, which meant that the difficulty for the The Knave to obtain the Gnosis from Furina had already increased.
Given this, in order to slightly reduce the difficulty, exploring the secret that Furina was hiding perhaps became a more important matter.
It was rare that Furina had now also drawn Navia and Clorinde into the battle.
The The Knave did not want to lose these two helpers, especially Navia, who had also obtained the Path.
" Luo Feng..."
Navia looked at Luo Feng below the stage, who was smiling and waving at them, and muttered softly:
"I wonder what Luo Feng is thinking."
Just at this moment, a powerful fluctuation suddenly appeared on the stage.
Appearing simultaneously was Clorinde's serious voice.
"Navia, focus.
""The next round of attacks is coming!"
Hearing this, Navia quickly turned to look in Furina's direction.
At this moment, Furina's fists were clenched, her teeth bitten tight, clearly trying her best to squeeze out her own strength.
Navia could see a continuous stream of power flying from Furina's body towards "Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord"
.....
Chapter 532: What? Furina met the Aeon of Preservation?!
[Paimon: Didn't they say that things created by The Power of Destiny would weaken quickly after being seen through? How did "Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord" in front of Navia and the others get stronger instead?]
[Mavuika: "Mysticism's" lie will weaken after being seen through, but it doesn't disappear quickly. Moreover, if it can get more power replenishment, perhaps it can become stronger for a short time.]
[Charlotte: So, Furina still has strength left, right? As expected of Furina, she's amazing.]
[Alice: Amazing is amazing, but is there still meaning in fighting like this? After all, Furina already possesses a Path?]
[Columbina: Could it be that Luo Feng also wants to know Ms. Furina's secret, so he's waiting for The Knave to turn off the spotlight behind Furina?]
[La Signora: If Luo Feng wants to know someone's secret, he doesn't need to use this method. He only needs to use the Memokeeper's power to directly search in others' minds.]
[Xiao: Luo Feng must have his reasons for doing this.]
Xiao was not the only one with this thought.
Among those who had or had not interacted with Luo Feng, quite a few held this idea.But this didn't mean they wouldn't feel confused.
Especially Focalors, who was particularly concerned about Furina right now.
[Focalors: Luo Feng, is there still a need for Furina and the others to continue fighting? With your ability, you should be able to break through the Remembrance Dream, right?]
[Luo Feng: Naturally, I have the ability to break through the Remembrance Dream. After all, this Remembrance Dream isn't a very deep one, and forcibly breaking it won't cause them any harm.]
If it were the Order's Dream created by Sunday, Luo Feng might have to think carefully about whether he should forcibly break it.
With such a deep dream, forcibly breaking it might cause some unpleasant things.
If necessary, Luo Feng might even refer to Black Swan's method of guiding the Star Rail protagonist to wake up from the Order's Dream to awaken the passengers who fell into the Order's Dream.
Or, he might simply wait for Boothill to use The Hunt's bullets to attract the Galaxy Rangers, letting the Rangers' will awaken the passengers.
But for a Remembrance Dream of this level, there's no need for such trouble at all.
[Focalors: Then why are you still waiting? Is it really as others say, that you are curious about the secret Furina is hiding?]
[Focalors: If that's the case, I can tell you directly. You don't need to use this method.]
Although Furina had already embraced The Power of Destiny, to be safe, Focalors still wanted to keep this secret.
After all, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is very likely still watching the Teyvat Forum.
[Luo Feng: What kind of person do you take me for, Ms. Focalors? Your secret with Furina, I knew it from the beginning.]
[Focalors: That... that's right, after all, you are very good at divination. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you.]
[Luo Feng: Forget it, you're just worried and confused. Don't worry, the reason I haven't stopped this battle between Furina and The Knave is simply because Furina stepping onto a Path is not yet finished.]
[Focalors: So that's it... Wait, do you, do you mean Furina can still step onto other Paths?]
[Luo Feng: Heh heh, after all, Furina hasn't used my "Blessing" yet. In short, just watch quietly.]
[Focalors: Alright, Luo Feng!]
Focalors excitedly clenched her fists, unable to hide the anticipation in her heart.
The Rock God Morax next door could fight against The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles just by stepping onto one Path.
Although this was because Morax had walked far enough down the Path of Preservation.
But if Furina could really step onto two Paths, she should be able to catch up with the Rock God Zhongli, right?
Thinking that Furina might really gain the power to challenge The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, Focalors couldn't stop feeling happy.
"Perhaps, perhaps Furina can even directly gain power comparable to heavenly principles."
"Please, you must succeed, Furina."
Focalors clasped her hands together.
As a god, she prayed for the first time.Just like the Fontaine pray to the Water God.
...
The Knave, Clorinde, and Navia were surprised to find that the Lighting Lord in front of them began to continuously grow larger, and larger.
In an instant, it had already transformed into the size that the real Luo Feng possessed when controlling the Lighting Lord.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is no joke."
"Lady Arlecchino, quickly tell Furina that you're not going to turn off the light anymore."
Navia felt the aura of the Lighting Lord in front of her and quickly said to The Knave.
Although the shock the Lighting Lord in front of her could give her was far less than Luo Feng.It was still enough to make her feel immense pressure.
Just kidding, she didn't want to fight Furina to the death.
"...Can she really listen to me now?"
The Knave said hesitantly.Clearly, Furina at this moment had no intention of listening to The Knave's words.
Although in a state of confusion, Furina could clearly feel that the "Luo Feng" and "Lighting Lord" she created were inevitably dissipating.
If the next attack couldn't defeat The Knave and the others, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the spotlight behind her anymore.
"No matter what, I can't let you turn off the spotlight."
"I am the Hydro Archon Furina, I have nothing to hide."
Although Furina said this, her mind quickly flashed back to the agreement she made with the Water God Focalors when she first met her.
Thinking of the agreement to save Fontaine, Furina's eyes suddenly narrowed, and an even more massive Power of Destiny burst forth from her body."Are you kidding me?"
Navia swallowed, looking in horror at the "Luo Feng" on the stage.
The Knave also looked in shock at the "Luo Feng" who had abandoned the Devastator Glaive: Starfall Reverie and summoned the Flame Lance.
In just an instant, an amber barrier had already enveloped Furina and the spotlight.
"Too late?"
The Knave murmured.
That crystal clear amber barrier looked very solid.
The Knave had no confidence in breaking through the barrier erected by "Luo Feng" in front of a Lighting Lord that was more than one size larger.
Even if the "Luo Feng" on the stage was not the real Luo Feng.
Just as The Knave was about to try telling Furina that she was willing to give up according to the method Navia provided, she suddenly felt a vibration in the surrounding space.
The Knave quickly stood firm, but when she looked up ahead, she was surprised to find that the opera house stage had disappeared.In its place was an boundless Universe filled with starlight.
"...Did the Remembrance Dream change?"
The Knave frowned and muttered.
"I don't think the Remembrance Dream changed."
A familiar voice sounded behind The Knave.
"Venti?"
The Knave turned around to see the person speaking, and also saw Raiden Ei, Collei, Sigewinne, and other passengers standing beside Venti.
She instantly understood the environment everyone was in.
"The spiritual Universe space where one can meet a Aeon."
"I didn't expect Furina could still trigger Luo Feng's "Blessing"."
The Knave turned around and saw the back of Furina standing in front of a huge pillar of light.
"If Furina couldn't trigger my Blessing."
"That would be too much of a pity."
Luo Feng walked to The Knave's side and said with a smile.
If Furina couldn't trigger the "Blessing," wouldn't he lose one chance at the lottery reward?
Even a tiny bit could affect his special reward of meeting a Aeon.
"This is truly... I thought I would definitely be the first person to gain two Paths besides you, Luo Feng."
"I didn't expect Furina to gain the opportunity to master two Paths all at once."
"Speaking of which, she should have gained another Path, not just met the Path of Enigmata here, right?"
Lumine propped her chin with one hand and said.
"I'd quite like to meet that riddle-like Aeon."
Paimon said with a smile.
"In that situation just now, there should still be a possibility of triggering a meeting with another Aeon, right?"
Clorinde put away her stance and looked at Luo Feng curiously.
"There is such a possibility, but this time it shouldn't be the Path of Enigmata showing up."
"I can't sense any possibility of It coming here."Luo Feng shrugged and said.
"Anyway, I guess we don't have to fight Ms. Furina anymore, right?"
"I really don't want to fight Ms. Furina, who has two Paths."
Navia sighed and said.
"That depends on whether Furina will truly wake up later."
Luo Feng said to Navia with a smile.
"Uh! That... if Ms. Furina really takes action later."
" Luo Feng, how about you intervene a little to stop Ms. Furina then?"
Navia clasped her hands together and pleaded with Luo Feng.
"Let's see."Luo Feng gave Navia an ambiguous answer, and then a strong light burst out in the distance.
Navia, Sigewinne, Lumine, and the others looked up, and a familiar and extremely massive Aeon appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's Qlipoth the Preservation?"
The Knave murmured.
"Could it be because the 'Luo Feng' she made earlier used the power of Preservation to create shields?"
Paimon asked.
"Can that fake 'Luo Feng' really use the power of Preservation?"
"I deeply doubt it. The amber-colored shield created by 'Luo Feng' should just look similar to preservation power, right?"
Lumine propped her chin and said.
"Then... was it her will to desperately protect her secret that attracted Qlipoth's attention?"
"That's right, it must be!"Paimon crossed her arms and nodded her head with certainty.
"Making conclusions too early is not a good choice."
"But whatever the reason, Furina deserves to be congratulated."
"Two Paths, truly enviable."
Venti said emotionally.
Under two Paths, perhaps Furina truly possesses the power to confront The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
To be honest, Venti was very envious of this.
After all, before he came here, he was still being forced by The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles to be called over for questioning.
Raiden Ei also stared intently at Furina, a strange light flowing in her usually icy gaze.
.....
Remembrance Dream.
The Lighting Lord on the stage suddenly stopped his action of swinging his sword at The Knave and the others.
Then, the Lighting Lord slowly transformed into pure energy and dissipated.
Immediately after, the 'Luo Feng' who had built the amber-colored shield also met the moment of dissipation.
The Teyvat audience who saw this scene felt baffled.
Just as they were feeling confused and guessing whether Furina had exhausted her strength.
Furina on the stage suddenly raised her hands high and jumped up cheering.
"Wow! As expected of me, I not only stepped onto the Path of Enigmata."
"I even met Qlipoth the Preservation."
"I'm truly amazing!"After cheering, Furina looked up at The Knave and the others and said with a smile:
"Come, come, keep attacking me, I'll try what the power of Preservation is like."
Saying that, Furina waved her hand and formed a circle of water-blue shield in front of her.
Faintly, orange-gold light shone within the water-blue shield.
[Charlotte: Wait, did I miss something? Why did Ms. Furina suddenly say she met Qlipoth the Preservation?]
[Mualani: Could it be that Ms. Furina suddenly had a dream about meeting a Aeon of Preservation?]
[Wriothesley: Is it really a dream? Her current appearance is very different from before, as if she has truly woken up. And the shield in front of her seems to have some significance.]
[Kinich: Could it be something also fabricated using the Path of Enigmata?]
[Cloud Retainer: It looks... a little different.]
[Mavuika: Could it be that she has really met a Aeon of Preservation, and that shield is a manifestation of preservation power? Zhongli, can you see anything?]
[Zhongli: From my perspective, that water-blue shield should indeed be a manifestation of preservation power.]
[Chevreuse:!!! Announcement]
[Charlotte:!!!]
[Silver:!!!]
.....
Chapter 533: Furina's Two Paths? Duke Inferno is Confused
[Marcel: Did we miss something?]
[Wriothesley: I think what we missed is the scene of Ms. Furina and the others meeting a Aeon of Preservation.]
[Mavuika: Venti, did you see a Aeon of Preservation?]
[Venti: You've asked the right person this time. Yes, we did see a Aeon of Preservation earlier. The protagonist was Ms. Furina.]
[Neuvillette: So, all of this is true. That's truly remarkable, Furina.]
[La Signora: A traveler walking on two Paths simultaneously, how did she do it? Can she do something like this just by wanting to protect her secret?]
[Dr.: I'm afraid it's not as simple as just wanting to protect a secret; that secret itself is probably deeply involved.]
"That... you are completely awake. Right, Ms. Furina?"
Navia looked at the unusually excited Furina and spoke hesitantly.
"Mm-hmm."
Furina smiled and looked at Navia, saying:
"I am indeed awake, rest assured."
Then, she looked in the direction of The Knave and said:
"Speaking of which, you wanted to explore my secret earlier."
"That's a very impolite behavior, you know. Thankfully, my subconscious was quite sharp (powerful)."
"Otherwise, you would have really succeeded."
Although all of Furina's previous actions were manifestations of her subconscious.
But after waking up from seeing a Aeon of Preservation, she instantly knew what had happened during this time.
Thinking that some of her previous experiences had actually been seen by others, Furina quickly waved her hand at the last spotlight, making it disappear from the Remembrance Dream.
Although she felt that even if this spotlight was turned off, her unexposed secrets would not be seen by others.
But to be safe, it was better to hide this last spotlight.
"...Sorry."
The Knave said honestly.
"Forget it, I won't hold you accountable for now."
"After all, you did contribute to me stepping onto the Path."
Furina appeared beside The Knave as if teleporting, and patted her shoulder while jumping.
Immediately after, she leaped and arrived in front of Luo Feng, who was below the stage.
"Of course, I also have to thank you, Luo Feng."
Furina said solemnly.She was very clear that the person she needed to thank the most for being able to step onto the Path was Luo Feng.
If it weren't for Luo Feng's Blessing and Luo Feng's indulgence of The Knave.
She wouldn't have had the opportunity just now.
"Hmm, considering how sincere you are."
"I won't hold you accountable for using the power of Mysticism to weave another me."
"But don't casually use your power to create another me in the future, got it?"
Luo Feng said.
"Of course, of course."
Furina awkwardly scratched the back of her head and said:
"Previously, I just subconsciously thought that Luo Feng would definitely be able to help me guard the third spotlight."
"That's why I used the power of the Path of Enigmata to weave another you."
"Now that I think about it, the Luo Feng I wove is simply incomparable."
It was simply incomparable, a world of difference.
Furina was a little glad that Luo Feng didn't charge her for copyright.
Otherwise, she really didn't know if she could afford it.
"Although the previous 'Luo Feng' couldn't compare to the real Luo Feng."
"But for us who haven't mastered the Path, it's still quite intimidating."
Clorinde came to the side of the crowd and said.
"Indeed."
The Knave nodded in agreement.If the Lighting Lord on the stage hadn't attacked her first, she wouldn't even have dared to fight back.
"In a sense, this can be considered the power of the Path of Enigmata, right?"
Furina puffed out her chest proudly.
"Speaking of which, how exactly did you step onto the Path of Enigmata?"
"Do you have any special feelings?"
Lumine asked curiously.As someone who made stepping onto the second Path her goal for this trip to Penacony, Lumine was now very curious about Furina's affairs.
"Even if you ask me, I can't give you an accurate answer."
"Looking back now, walking onto the Path of Enigmata felt like unintentionally walking onto a strange road."
"That feeling was too faint, completely incomparable to the feeling of seeing the Aeon of Preservation and being granted the Path of Preservation."
Furina spread her hands and shook her head as she spoke.
"After all, it was watching a Aeon up close, so that feeling was naturally breathtaking."
Navia said with deep empathy.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't we go back now?"
"We've been dreaming for so long, the Astral Express should be almost there, right?"
Furina looked at the scene in the Remembrance Dream around her and muttered curiously.
"Isn't this Remembrance Dream built around you?"
"You don't know how to leave?"
Lumine asked with a strange expression.
"That's true, but this is also my first time here."
"And the Path I awakened isn't the Path of Remembrance."
Furina said helplessly.
"Looks like we still have to rely on you, Luo Feng."
Lumine turned her head and looked at Luo Feng.
"Simple, just give the person who is the main body of the dream an unforgettable stimulus."
Luo Feng breathed on his fist and said with a smile.
"Wait... wait, this isn't going to mean hitting me, is it?"
"No, don't."
Furina waved her hands repeatedly, she didn't want to take a punch for no reason.
Especially a punch from someone as strong as Luo Feng."
What are you thinking? I didn't plan to beat you."
"At most... I'll just shake you awake from your dream."
Luo Feng walked towards Furina while speaking.
"Shake awake?"
While Furina was wondering, she suddenly felt her head being grabbed by two strong hands.
Immediately after, there was a violent shaking.
Furina only felt the whole world begin to spin, and the surrounding scenery instantly became blurred.
"Stop... stop shaking, Luo Feng."
"I... I'm going to throw up."
Furina covered her mouth with her hands, looking uncomfortable.
"If you throw up on my Astral Express."
"I'll make you clean the Astral Express properly."
Luo Feng smiled and released Furina's head.
"Eh?"
Furina suddenly opened her eyes, she looked around, and the environment before her eyes was indeed the environment of the Astral Express.
"Welcome back, everyone."
Luo Feng stood in front of Furina, Navia, Clorinde, Lumine, and the others, and said:
"How was it? The experience in the Remembrance Dream was quite good, right?"
"So we're back already." After looking around, Furina gave Luo Feng a big smile:
"Hmm, it was a pretty good dream!"
"Of course it's good, after all, you stepped onto two Paths in one go in the dream."
Paimon flew to Furina's side with an envious look.
She also wanted to step onto the Path just by dreaming, like Furina."
Go, Paimon, I believe that with Luo Feng here, you'll also have a chance."
Furina encouraged.
"I hope so."After sighing, Paimon flew to Furina's ear and asked curiously in a low voice:
"Speaking of which, can you tell me about [Act 1]?"
"I was so curious that I didn't get to see [Act 1] before."
"No, no."
Furina shook her head repeatedly, "Only this can't be done!"
"Okay, since you said so."
Upon hearing this, Paimon sighed again.
"Alright everyone, let's make some final preparations."
Luo Feng clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to his side, and said:
"We have arrived at the designated location, and the Astral Express is about to stop here."
"Once you have your personal belongings ready, I will take you directly to the entrance of Penacony."
"After you have packed your things, come to the observation car to find me."
"Those who need to exchange Mora for credit points with me, please do so quickly."
"Once we arrive at Penacony, you will have plenty of opportunities to spend money."
Hearing this, Lumine looked out the window of the observation car in surprise.
Just as Luo Feng said, the Astral Express had stopped moving and was parked next to a small Planet.
"So, without realizing it, we've already arrived."
Lumine said with emotion.
"Let's go, Traveler, let's pack our luggage.
"Paimon excitedly flew back to Lumine's side.
"Although that's true, besides bringing enough money, it seems there's nothing else we need to bring."
Lumine spread her hands and walked towards the passenger car with Paimon, Collei, Navia, and the others.
Soon, only Luo Feng, Acheron, and Duke Inferno Ifrit remained in the observation car.
"master, Ms. Furina seems to have changed…"
"She, has obtained The Power of Destiny!"
Duke Inferno walked to Luo Feng's side, his eyes full of curiosity.
"You want to ask how she stepped onto the Path, right?"
Luo Feng glanced at him and found a random sofa to sit on.
"As expected of master, I wonder if master can satisfy a little of my curiosity."
Duke Inferno bowed respectfully to Luo Feng.
There was nothing he could do; just a short while ago, the Furina in his eyes was just an ordinary person.
In just this short time, he had smelled the scent of two different Paths on Furina.
Even in his long life, he had never encountered such a situation.
That Furina could step onto different Paths made it hard for Duke Inferno not to associate her with Luo Feng, who had also stepped onto different Paths.
"I'm a little curious too."
Acheron walked over and looked down at Luo Feng curiously.
"I understand your curiosity, but…"
Luo Feng raised his head and looked up at Acheron's face.
"What's wrong?"Acheron was a bit puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just… could you sit down?"
"It's a bit tiring for me to look up at you like this."
Luo Feng said."Okay."
Acheron didn't refuse and sat down directly beside Luo Feng.
"Can you satisfy my curiosity now?"
Acheron asked."I didn't expect you to be interested in these things."
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I guided Furina a little with my power."
"As for accidentally stepping into two Paths, that's her own fortune."
Luo Feng shrugged and said.
Although the Blessing was bestowed by the System, the System was his.
In the end, Furina being able to step onto a Path did indeed rely on his power.
"I see, your power is truly remarkable."
Acheron nodded in understanding.
Duke Inferno looked at Acheron in a daze.
Sister, is that it?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you ask more deeply?
Duke Inferno's mouth twitched as he looked at Luo Feng, who was lying on the sofa with his head tilted back and his eyes closed, and finally gave up on asking further.
As a fire Devil God who had burned for hundreds of years, he could still read the room.
He can guide others onto a Path?
I really have followed an incredible master.
Speaking of which, should I not have let the children leave?
Duke Inferno walked to a corner of the room and thought with a frown.
Since Luo Feng could guide Furina onto a Path, perhaps he also possessed the power to guide Akaishi, Dubra, and the other children onto a Path.
When Duke Inferno thought that his beloved children might truly embark on the Path of Destruction with Luo Feng's help, a glimmer of anticipation couldn't help but arise in his heart.
It was just a pity that at this moment, he had no way to call Akaishi, Constance, and the others back
.......
On the other side.
Teyvat Continent.
Celestia.
"That Furina, there's definitely something wrong with her!"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles looked at Furina, who had entered her room and disappeared from Paimon and The Knave's camera view, her brows tightly furrowed.
Because she was across a world, and most of her attention was on Luo Feng, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles didn't initially notice anything unusual about Furina.
But after seeing the scenes that appeared in the Remembrance Dream constructed around Furina, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles could no longer help but focus her attention on this Water God whom she had always overlooked.
"She has no demeanor of a god at all; she is not the true Water God."
"And what was shown in her dream… What is Fontaine planning?"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles frowned and looked at her Teyvat Forum page.
It clearly displayed information related to the user named "Focalors"
........
Chapter 534 Focalors Appears, Fontaine People Are Stunned
The account with the username "Focalors" had posted on the Teyvat Forum before.
Although this user posted very little, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, who had gradually become familiar with using the forum features,
had already found "Focalors"'s posts in the forum's past information.
And the posts by "Focalors" and the posts by "Furina" were clearly slightly different.
Coupled with some of Furina's previous behavior, it was difficult for The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles not to view Furina and Focalors separately.
"Could it be that the Water God is actually someone else?"
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles frowned tightly once again.
She looked at Paimon's live stream page, where many people were still congratulating Furina on stepping onto two Paths.
Fontaine people were particularly numerous among them.
After a slight hesitation, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles finally left her comment.
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Water Devil God Fo-calors, respond to me.]
[Charlotte: Eh? Eh eh eh eh eh! The… The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?!]
[Chiori: Why would The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles suddenly leave a comment? And specifically ask for Furina?]
[Neuvillette: Is it because Furina has stepped onto two Paths, and she wants to confirm Furina's current thoughts?]
[Wriothesley: Wow, this is truly a tense moment.]
[Beidou: Could it be that she wants to cause trouble for Fontaine while Furina hasn't returned yet?]
[Tartaglia: As expected of the Navigator of Luo Feng's Astral Express stationed in Liyue, they really dare to say anything.]
[Candace: After all, Liyue also has the Rock God Morax, who recently repelled The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles not long ago.]
[Tartaglia: You're quite impressive too, Ms. Candace. As expected of Luo Feng's employee.]
[Zhongli: Don't worry, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles will have difficulty coming to Fontaine now.]
Barbatos had already told Zhongli about The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles using the forum's private message function.
He certainly knew that The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles had not been completely petrified by him.
Of course, he also knew that The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles currently had no ability to trouble others.
Perhaps The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles now couldn't even exert one percent of her strength.
[Wriothesley: That's truly a reassuring answer, Lord Zhongli.]
[Neuvillette: What do you want with Furina, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: The one I'm looking for isn't Furina, but the true Water God, Focalors!]
[Fontaine:???]
"Was she finally discovered?
"Well, after seeing so many of Furina's performances, if she still couldn't discover anything unusual..."
"Then that woman wouldn't deserve to be called The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, right?"
Luo Feng rubbed his chin, watching with interest the messages filled with surprise from many Fontaine on the forum.
......
"Huh! You all changed into new clothes?"
As soon as Paimon and Lumine came out of their rooms, they saw Navia, Clorinde, and The Knave who had changed into new clothes.
"After all, these are clothes Chiori gave us. We're about to enter Penacony, so we should take them out and wear them,"
Navia said with a slight smile.
"So these are clothes from Kimono Chiori. No wonder the black stockings on your legs look so familiar."
"Speaking of which, you wouldn't be planning to use this outfit with black stockings to get Luo Feng to exchange more credit points for you, would you?"
Furina, holding a box of Mora, scrutinized Navia, Clorinde, and The Knave with a critical eye.
Clorinde had also changed into new clothes and new stockings, of course.
However, Clorinde had always had the habit of wearing black stockings, so Furina didn't find it strange that Clorinde changed to a different pair of black stockings.
It was Navia, and especially The Knave's change of clothes, that made Furina feel a bit curious.
After hearing Furina's words, Lumine also looked suspiciously at Navia and The Knave.
"Don't... don't misunderstand, I simply don't want Chiori's thoughtful gesture to go to waste,"
Navia quickly waved her hands and said with a blush.
"I merely don't want to waste the gifts the children prepared," The Knave said
The so-called children were referring to Lyney, Lynette, and others.
"How suspicious."
Furina sized up The Knave, who was wearing a women's dress, from head to toe, meticulously.
This kind of feminine attire was the first time she had seen it on The Knave.
Furina had reason to believe that The Knave intended to use this outfit to attract Luo Feng and have him grant her the bestowal of a Path.
"You wouldn't be stimulated because I stepped onto a Path, would you?"
"And then you're thinking of using your charm to attract Luo Feng's attention and get him to give you some guidance?"
Furina asked as she followed the group.
"Ms. Furina, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the situation in the forum," The Knave said calmly, as if completely unaffected by Furina's words.
"The forum?"Furina was a bit confused.
"No... this is bad, Furina."
"In the forum, Fontaine is exploding!"
Paimon exclaimed.
"What? Has the prophecy of Fontaine arrived?!"
Furina cried out in surprise, quickly opening the forum.
"What? So the so-called 'exploding' just means everyone is actively discussing?"
"Let me see... Huh, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles says I'm not the true Water God?"
"This, this, this... What's going on?"
The treasure chest filled with Mora in Furina's hand dropped to the ground, and she covered her face in panic.
This made The Knave next to her feel a bit strange.She could feel that Furina's panic wasn't faked.
Recalling the 'Act 1' that was not revealed in Furina's Remembrance Dream, which Furina desperately guarded, The Knave couldn't help but ask:
"Could it be that, Ms. Furina, you are really not the true Water God, just as The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles said?"
"How is that possible!"
Furina quickly shook her head and said:
"You've also felt my power, haven't you?"
"Isn't that level of power enough to be called the power of a god?"
The Knave rested her hand on her chin and looked down at Furina, saying:
"If you're referring to the power you displayed in the Remembrance Dream..."
"That should just be your performance after stepping onto a Path."
"Speaking of which, before that, I've never seen you take action."
"Even when fighting against Duke Inferno's children, you didn't make a move."
"Even when Duke Inferno's children wanted to escape, Luo Feng didn't ask you to intercept them..."
At this point, The Knave stopped speaking.Her meaning was already clear; there was no need to say more.
Luo Feng not letting Furina intercept Duke Inferno's children who wanted to escape indicated that Luo Feng might have known from the start that Furina did not possess the power level of a Teyvat god.
"You... you're actually doubting me!"
"No, now is not the time to talk about this."
"I must explain to The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and everyone in Fontaine."
Furina took a deep breath and focused her attention on the forum.
[Furina: Everyone in Fontaine, don't worry. As you saw before, I possess the power of a god. Isn't that enough to prove I am the Water God?]
[Charlotte: Yes, yes, Lord Furina's power is undoubtedly god-level, right?]
[Tartaglia: Based on the performance just now, that is indeed correct. But...]
[Furina: Stop 'butting' here and 'butting' there! I really am the Water God! Haven't the past events you saw about me been enough?]
[Furina: Besides, if I weren't the Water God, how could I have sat on the Water God's throne for nearly 500 years? An ordinary person would have died of old age long ago.]
[Dr.: That's not necessarily true. At least I have a way to let an ordinary person live for 500 years.]
[Furina: You're as annoying as ever, Dr. of the Fatui!]
After Furina left her message, she glanced at The Knave beside her, as if asking The Knave why her colleague named Dr. was so annoying.
She even secretly decided that after returning to Teyvat Continent, depending on the situation, she would consider having a good talk with this Dr.
Now that she had the blessing of dual Paths, Furina had considerable confidence even when facing Dr.
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: It's a curse, right! It's a curse that allowed you to live for hundreds of years in a mortal body, right, Furina!]
[Furina: Wh... what curse? Are you seeing things because I'm outside Teyvat Continent, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles?]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Hmph! It's just that I didn't pay too much attention to you before. Now I can assert that you were just an ordinary person before stepping onto a Path!
Devil God "Focalors", if you don't answer my question, I will go directly to Fontaine myself and find you.]
[Furina: What?! Hey, don't be impulsive!]
[Charlotte: Hey, hey, hey, the incident that happened in Liyue before isn't going to happen again in our Fontaine, is it?]
[Wriothesley: It's different! When The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles went to Liyue before, Rock God Morax had already returned. But now, Lord Furina is still outside Teyvat Continent.]
[Focalors: Alas, why do you have to be like this, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.]
"Huh? Did you switch accounts?"
Paimon looked strangely at Furina, who was standing blankly beside her.
"I think the real one has shown up now."T
he Knave looked at Furina's expression and guessed.
"Really?"
Paimon flew to Furina's side, as if wanting to see clearly if she was operating the forum.
Navia, Clorinde, and Sigewinne, three passengers from Fontaine, exchanged glances.
Although they had many questions they wanted to ask.
.....seeing Furina's conflicted expression, they decisively chose to remain silent.
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: You've finally appeared, Focalors! Tell me, is Furina the one you pushed to the forefront?]
[Neuvillette: Are you two really not the same person, Furina, Focalors.]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: This is a conversation between her and me now. Close your mouth, Water Dragon King.]
[Charlotte: What? Lord Neuvillette is the Water Dragon King?]
[Dr.: Since these are the words of The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, it's unlikely to be wrong. Heh heh, things are getting more and more interesting.]
[Mavuika: Is this the reason why Neuvillette, despite not having stepped onto a Path, was able to perform like that on the Xianzhou Luofu under the buffs applied by Luo Feng?]
[Neuvillette:...]
[Focalors: Um... If you have something to say, can we talk about it after Furina comes back? The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles]
Furina had already stepped onto a Path, and it was a dual Path.
Focalors believed that the current Furina had a high possibility of being able to resist The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, just like Zhongli resisted The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.
If Furina could return, it would allow Fontaine to remain stable for at least some time
.Even if many Fontaine might now have some doubts about Furina's status.
But Focalors believed that as long as The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles did not pose a threat to Fontaine, the slight doubts Fontaine had about Furina would not matter much.
Moreover, after the journey to Penacony ends, there is a considerable possibility that Luo Feng will also set up a Astral Express route for Fontaine.
By then, even if the heavenly principles awakened and descended upon Fontaine, she would still have to give Luo Feng face.
Focalors now only hoped that The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles could wait and not come to Fontaine too quickly to question her face-to-face.
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Hmph! I don't have that much free time to wait for Furina to return. Tell me, do you intend to use Furina to deceive the prophecy that the heavenly principles has bestowed upon Fontaine?]
[Focalors: N-Nothing of the sort.]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Still lying? Do you really think I don't understand anything, Focalors?]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Pushing Furina to the forefront and bringing the Water Dragon King to Fontaine! Focalors, are you planning to sacrifice yourself, return your power to the Water Dragon King, and at the same time use Furina to deceive the prophecy?]
[Furina: Eh?! Sacrifice myself? What does that mean?]
[Focalors:...]
[Neuvillette:!!!]
[Charlotte: Wh-What's happening? Furina's account and Focalors' account are talking at the same time?!]
...
Chapter 535: Focalors' Plan Exposed; The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles Clenches Her Fist
"Neuvillette, the Chief Justice of Fontaine, is the Water Dragon King, and he has already worked in Fontaine for hundreds of years."
"So that's how it is, I think I roughly understand now."
The Knave rested her chin on one hand and nodded with interest.
"Wait, you understand just like that?"
Furina looked up at The Knave in surprise.
She, as the person involved, was still completely confused, yet The Knave seemed to understand the whole story already?
"Lady Arlecchino, could you explain a little?"
Sigewinne asked curiously.As someone particularly close to Neuvillette, Sigewinne felt it was necessary to understand this matter that involved both Furina and Neuvillette.
Navia and Clorinde, the two Fontaine, also looked at The Knave curiously.
"It's just some of my speculation."
"I think you should still remember the prophecy of Fontaine,"
The Knave asked.
"Of course."
Navia took over the conversation and said:
"The prophecy mentions that the seawater will eventually submerge Fontaine, and at that time all Fontaine will dissolve in the water, with only the Water God weeping on the divine throne."
The Knave nodded slightly and continued:
"The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles mentioned that the Devil God Focalors intends to use deception to deal with the prophecy."
"I think what she meant was having Ms. Furina, who is a fake Water God, sit on the divine throne and weep."
"And Focalors, as the real Water God, would sacrifice herself and give her power to Neuvillette, who is the Water Dragon King."
"Although I don't know the specific method, I think the Water God's power combined with the Water Dragon King's power should be able to save Fontaine before they dissolve in the water."
"I see."
Lumine nodded understandingly and said:
"So, it's about setting up a situation where everyone in Fontaine is suspected of dissolving in water, and Furina fakes crying on the divine throne."
"Seeing how Furina seems to know nothing, it's likely that the divine being Focalors didn't tell her the specific plan in order to make Furina's crying sincere."
Listening to what The Knave and Lumine said, one after the other, Paimon, Sigewinne, Collei, and others present all fixed their gaze on Furina.
"Wait, why are you all just assuming I'm not the Water God?"
Furina stomped her foot, looking a bit flustered.
"There's no helping it."Lumine spread her hands and said:
"After all, if you think about it carefully, your previous behavior was indeed a bit strange."
"Moreover, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is, after all, the one in charge on your Teyvat Continent."
"She couldn't possibly be wrong about this, could she?"Furina: "Ugh..."
Furina opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't find words to refute Lumine.
What made her even more anxious was that someone on the forum had also given the same speculation as The Knave.
[Dr.: Legend has it that the authority of the Seven Gods of Teyvat comes from the various Elemental Dragon Kings who once governed the land of Teyvat.]
[Since Neuvillette is the Water Dragon King, once he obtains the Water God's power, he would essentially be a complete Water Dragon King, right?]
[Tartaglia: Hiss, so something like this exists. A complete Water Dragon King and all that, he must be able to do a lot of things.]
[Neuvillette: Focalors, what exactly is your purpose? The "Act 1" that Furina is hiding should be related to you, right?]
[Focalors:...]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Now that things have come to this, do you still intend to hide it, Water God Focalors?]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: The first Water God, Egeria, stole the power of Primordial Seawater to create Fontaine humans, and now you intend to return the authority that the heavenly principles granted to the Water God back to the Dragon King!]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Hmph, it seems that every generation of Water God is a hopeless existence. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to punish you and make the prophecy of Fontaine descend early.]
[Focalors: W-Wait, wait, calm down first, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles!]
[Luo Feng: You should calm down first, Focalors. Don't be scared by that guy.]
[Focalors: Eh, Luo Feng?]
[Luo Feng: The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was just taught a lesson by Geo Archon Morax not long ago, almost getting petrified directly. Do you think she currently has the ability to leave Celestia and cause trouble for Fontaine?]
[Focalors: Ah? Could it be that she's just trying to scare me?]
[Luo Feng: Heh heh, you can have a little more confidence in the Geo Archon's power.]
[Focalors: C-Can I trust you, Zhongli?]
[Zhongli: You don't have to trust me, but I think you can trust Lord Luo Feng. Since he believes The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles has no way to come to Fontaine to trouble you, then it must be correct!]
[Focalors: That's right!]
After Zhongli said this, Focalors suddenly realized.
That was Luo Feng, when had his words ever been wrong?
How could The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles possibly come and cause trouble for Fontaine now?
Focalors could completely wait until Furina returned and rely on her to resolve Fontaine's troubles using The Power of Destiny.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles looked at Luo Feng's message, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
However, she didn't dare to refute Luo Feng at all.
With Luo Feng mentioning that, let alone the fact that she truly couldn't leave Celestia right now,even if she could leave Celestia, she wouldn't dare to actually go to Fontaine.
After all, Luo Feng had warned her before; if she were to make his words invalid at this moment, who knows what he would do to her.
The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles didn't want Luo Feng to make another trip to Celestia when he returned to Teyvat Continent.
However, although The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles didn't dare to go directly to Fontaine to talk with Focalors at this time due to Luo Feng's deterrence,this didn't mean she would allow Focalors to continue concealing things like this.
She had already browsed through a lot of information about Fontaine on the forum.This made her even more certain about what Focalors was planning.
[Neuvillette: Since The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles cannot come to Fontaine for the time being, can you tell us what you two are planning now? Furina, Focalors]
[Furina: Even if you ask me that, I have nothing to say.]
[Focalors: Uh, how about we have a good chat after Furina comes back?]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Water God Focalors, you plan to use the energy accumulated over hundreds of years by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale to destroy yourself and the divine throne, right?]
[Neuvillette:!!!]
[Wriothesley:!!!]
[Chevreuse:!!!]
[Focalors: No... that's not true.]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: Hmph, you must be hiding inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale right now, right?]
[Focalors:...]
[Dr.: It seems she guessed correctly. So The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles not only possesses power but also a certain level of wisdom.]
[Charlotte: No, that can't be right. I thought the sacrifice The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles mentioned before was just a figure of speech.
Could it be that Ms. Focalors really wants to commit suicide?]
[Wriothesley: This is no laughing matter.]
[Neuvillette: Are you still not planning to explain the specific situation? If so, I think I should consider whether to continue serving as Fontaine's Chief Justice.]
[Focalors: Wait... wait, Neuvillette. I'll tell you, is that okay?]
[Neuvillette: I'm listening intently.]
Inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, the hidden Focalors sighed deeply.
As things stood, she understood.
After The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles caused such a fuss, it was likely that a considerable number of Fontaine had already started to think Furina was not the real Water God.
If she didn't explain things properly here, many matters might not be salvageable.
Furthermore, even if she didn't say anything, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles would explain it on the forum.
For a moment, Focalors couldn't find any way out to continue hiding.'
Forget it, Furina has already embarked on the Path anyway.'
'Even if the plan isn't executed as intended, Furina can surely prevent the prophecy from happening in another way.'
'And The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles cannot come to Fontaine right now.'
'Since that's the case, telling everyone isn't a big deal.'
Focalors took a deep breath, and finally convincing herself, she used the shortest possible words to state all the facts.
[Focalors: Everything started when the First Water God handed the authority over to me...]
......
Natlan.
Xilonen couldn't help but sigh deeply upon seeing the plan revealed by Focalors.
"Is this why Furina mentioned in the Remembrance Dream that she was waiting for a grand trial?"
Beside her, the Fire God Mavuika was also very emotional.
"Focalors split herself in two, leaving Furina, who is human, to play the role of the Water God."
"She herself is hiding inside the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, quietly awaiting the planned death sentence."
"These nearly five hundred years have been quite difficult for both Furina and Focalors."
Mavuika said.
"What about you, are you also planning something like that Ms. Focalors, Mavuika?"
Xilonen looked up and at Mavuika.
"Why do you ask that?"
Mavuika asked.
"Fontaine faces the threat of prophecy, and our Natlan is in a similar situation."
"Since Fontaine and Natlan have such similar aspects."
"I was wondering if you are also doing the same thing as the Water God Focalors?"
Xilonen slightly narrowed her eyes, staring at Mavuika's face.
"Natlan and Fontaine have similar aspects, but ultimately, they are not Fontaine."
"I don't need to be like Focalors and Furina either."
Mavuika said.
Xilonen stared at Mavuika for a long time, and said quietly, "I hope so."
Mavuika smiled and refocused her attention on her forum panel.
As things stood, Focalors' plan could no longer be carried out.
But Furina has embarked on the Path of two Paths, so she should find a way to solve Fontaine's problem.
What about me?
Can I find another way to save Natlan through Luo Feng?
Mavuika murmured to herself.
After seeing Furina gain power and learning about Focalors' plan, she became even more eager to get a ticket for the Astral Express.
[Lynette: So... so we really will dissolve in water after coming into contact with that primordial seawater!]
[Lyney: As expected, the prophecy of Fontaine wasn't just idle talk! The original sin on the people of Fontaine is actually the fact that the First Water God created the people of Fontaine!]
[Neuvillette: You are truly cunning, Focalors.]
[Focalors: I'm sorry, Neuvillette. But I want to know, if the plan had proceeded as originally intended, would you have absolved the original sin of the people of Fontaine?]
[Neuvillette: You clearly know that the current me cannot possibly not absolve the original sin of the people of Fontaine. However, I think I won't be needed to absolve the original sin of the people of Fontaine now.]
[Charlotte: Wuwuwu, Furina is truly amazing. In the Remembrance Dream, the reason why Furina would unconsciously cry when receiving the people of Fontaine was because she had endured alone for too long!]
[Zhongli: Enduring for hundreds of years with human will, Ms. Furina, though without power, is undoubtedly a Water God worthy of respect.
Of course, Ms. Focalors, who planned to sacrifice herself for Fontaine early on, is also a respectable Water God.]
[Yae Miko: In the Geo Archon's eyes, both Focalors and Ms. Furina are admirable deities. I wish my Electro Archon could have such willpower.]
[Silver: Damn it, why can't I stop crying?]
[Fontaine Melusine: Long live Furina, long live Focalors!]
[Fontaine Anri: Just as the Geo Archon said, both Furina and Focalors are our Water Gods!]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles: What are you doing? Furina deceived you, aren't you angry?]
[Wriothesley: It seems that the high and mighty Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, although possessing wisdom, does not understand human hearts.]
[Charlotte: Al... although you are The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, I still have to say this: I will always support Furina and Focalors!]
[Fontaine: That's right, we will always support Furina and Focalors!!!]
[The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles:...]
Her fists clenched, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was angry.
However, thinking of Luo Feng's face, she could only silently unclench her fists.
......
