Chapter 348: The Sins of the Fontaines

"Whether it's a human being, or any other living thing, it's evolving over time."

Tassel sighed and said, "If you don't evolve, you will only slowly die, and as people's knowledge is passed on, their desires will gradually expand, and technology and civilization will increase over time, just like you can see in Mondstadt, Liyue, and now Fontaine." ”

"Inazuma wants to stay eternal because of the shadow, and even if there is a human being, it is lifeless like a marionette."

"And at this time, people who want to [dream] appear, whether it is Yoimiya, Kamisato Ayaka, and the ornamental fish people of Watatsumi Island, they all want to resist, but they are not able to overthrow the rule of Raiden Shogun because of their lack of ability."

"Like the people of ancient times, they were destroyed by the Heavenly Principles, because their development reached the upper limit of the Heavenly Principles, that is, the world's endurance, and the gradually [dead] gods longed for the arrival of new gods to bring this Teyvat back to life, and before that all obstacles were destroyed or assimilated by the Isle of Sky before the arrival of the new gods."

Ying: "."

Ying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of something and suppressed the words on her lips.

"Looks like you get it." Tassel said with a smile: "It has been mentioned in the book that when one reaches the limit of what the world can bear, then it will be excluded by the world, and then open the door to a higher world. ”

"Teyvat is wrapped in the [eggshell] of the First Throne without leaving a gap, so there is no room for them to rise, so what is given to them is destruction."

"I see, then tassels, where is your ceiling?"

"Well, you'll know when you can touch the edge of the universe yourself."

"So you know your limit?"

"No, I mean, you know there's a lot bigger out there."

Ying: "."

Fu Xuan: "."

"Well, you don't have to think about that, because thinking too much will only increase your troubles." Tassel smiled and said with relief,

"You just need to keep improving yourself, and I'll figure out the rest."

"Hmm."

"That, tassel, so what the hell is the water of the primordial fetal sea?" Ying thought for a moment and asked with a smile.

"Because the people of the old days wanted to wake up in the [eternal dream], the heavens were once again angry, and the monstrous flood crushed all the city-states, and the heavy rain fell for a hundred days, and the civilization of the people of the old days was completely destroyed."

"This time the destruction is very serious, even the Red King of Sumeru and the God of Flowers have suffered irreversible damage."

"However, the land of Fontaine is still in the midst of barbarism and superstition."

"Until one day, the great King Remus was inspired by the apocalypse to find the prophet Sybil, who had turned into a golden bee, and took the great ship Fatuna."

"It was Melopis that descended on the sea that brought civilization to Fontaine again."

"The great king of gold built temples and cities out of boulders."

"Teaching music and art to the people, he defeated the dragons beneath the abyss with his immortal fleet, and comprehended the original plan in seven days of rotation and flowing winds."

"Accordingly, a golden movement of harmony is composed."

"He believed that as long as all the city-states could play to this movement, they would be able to escape the judgment of fate and achieve eternal prosperity."

Ying said loudly: "So, he failed? Because you have touched the new Eternity? ”

Tassel nodded and said, "Naturally, just as he and his people were indulging in a carefree dream and enjoying a future of eternal progress, the prophets made a discordant prophecy that the most prosperous empire would also usher in the most complete destruction, and this is Fatuna. 】”

"When he heard the prophecy, he naturally did not sit idly by, but began to wonder, 'How can we avoid the destruction of civilization?'"

"His method is to use the water of the primordial womb sea?" Ying suddenly thought of something and said.

"Well, he once went to the Primordial Sea, where the previous Water Dragon King gave him a glass of water, which he used to refine magical dewdrops and build a glorious empire."

Tassel bowed his head and said: "This time, in the face of the possibility that the water of the primordial fetal sea will eventually dissolve everything, he made a decision, purify. ”

"Purification?"

"It is to create a spiritual dew that cannot be dissolved even by the water of the primordial fetal sea, and dissolve the souls of the people. Wouldn't it prevent the people from being swallowed up by the primordial sea? ”

"The living creatures that originate from the primordial sea will return to the same fate." The lawyer Boethius once said, "But there are infinite possibilities for human transcendence, and even the primordial sea of fetus cannot dissolve them." ”

"The arrogant tyrant has tried to concoct a spiritual dew that does not dissolve in pure water, so that it can contain the spirit and memory, so that his subjects can leave their bodies behind and gain eternal independent life."

"But the pain of the conversion of the soul and the flesh is not something that any mortal life can bear, and the law of the tyrant tears at the broken soul... Linglu was dyed black by the cries of many spirits, and since then it has lost its attunement, leaving only chaos and madness. ”

"Not only that, the spiritual [Ascension] is not satisfied with his ambition, the dew that contains the human soul is lodged in the steel colossus known for the immortal magic stone, and after the spirit flies, it is a mechanical ascension, and what he hopes for is the sublimation of the entire human race."

"Ascension?" Ying said thoughtfully: "I seem to remember that the people on the Heavenly Power Immortal Boat are also a kind of ascension? ”

"Well, almost, except that I succeeded, and they failed." Tassel nodded and said, "Because my fist is relatively big, Tianli can't beat me." ”

Ying: "What you said makes sense, and he doesn't have your strength, so he naturally fails." ”

"That's right, this kind of thing that the Tree King, the Red King, and the Flower God don't dare to do will inevitably go wrong." Tassel replied: "Not only the difference in strength, but also the gap in the perception of matter. ”

"The fragile souls of ordinary beings cannot bear the pain of spiritual transformation, which is why I use the Genshin Impact channel to lead them to ascend, only in this way will a soul with perseverance and avoid the pain of ascension."

Ying scratched her head and said, "I don't understand, what does this have to do with the water of the primordial fetal sea?" ”

"Of course it matters, I think the Primordial Sea existed before the First Throne came to Teyvat, and the reason why they angered the Heavenly Principle was because they wanted to touch the waters of the Primordial Fetal Sea."

"Even to a certain extent, it is applied to their own race, so the heavenly law does not send them a heavenly nail, but dissolves everything with a great flood."

"All the people of the old days and their descendants are natural carriers of primordial water, because every Fontaine person carries a [droplet] that can dissolve himself by the water of the primordial womb, so it is said that the Fontaine people are born with [sins]."

"Whew! I understand. Ying nodded.

"Alright, let's go, this Merusin can't wait." Tassel turned to Mei Ruxin, who was puffing up and looking at him and the others.

"Hmph, you can talk while you get on the boat." Aibel said angrily: "Then let's leave now?" ”

Ying nodded, signaling that it was time to go.

No sooner had the cruiser started than a pink-haired woman dressed in a Pam costume rushed up.

Ying just glanced at the other party, although she knew that the other party was Charlotte, but she had not been in contact with the other party in this world, and Paimon was not here, so Ying chose to remain silent.

"??!" Charlotte raised her head and saw Ying, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Traveler, you, why are you in Fontaine?" Aren't you still planning to hang out in Liyue? ”

"Where's Paimon, your partner?"

Charlotte's words stunned Ying for a moment, and immediately understood that the other party should have been in contact with Paimon, so she spoke: "Charlotte, long time no see, my words are because there are some things that need to come to Fontaine, as for Paimon's words, we are temporarily separated." ”

"Oh, I see." Charlotte said excitedly, "Traveler, I never thought that I would meet you on the patrol ship shortly after parting, this should be very explosive news in my life!" ”

Ying: "."

"Who are these two?" Charlotte finished greeting Ying, and turned her eyes to Tassel and Fu Xuan and asked.

"These two are my good friends, this one is tassel, and this one is Fu Xuan." Ying introduced.

"Hello, I'm Charlotte, a reporter for the Steambird newspaper."

"Well, hello." Fu Xuan nodded and said, "My name is Fu Xuan, and I am an ordinary traveler. ”

"I'm a tassel and an ordinary traveler."

"You're good friends with famous travelers, I don't believe you are ordinary travelers, so I'll take care of you in the future." Charlotte said with a smile.

Ying took out her phone and looked up the plot about Fontaine in Genshin Impact II, and she remembered that there seemed to be a series of large-scale plots waiting for her here.

"By the way, what has Charlotte been up to lately, and is there any big news coming out?" Ying Nian said.

"Recently. It's okay, anyway, when I don't have any news material, I'm going to report on some of the recent cases that the opera house has been trying or something," Charlotte scratched her head,

"As long as you report the same thing from a tricky angle, you can still catch the reader's eye." Charlotte spoke,

"For example, reporting on how fraudsters used to cheat on girls' feelings, and reporting on the poor experience of economic criminals who once ate a piece of bread for five days."

"This kind of content sounds interesting at first glance, but it doesn't seem to make much sense when you dig deeper?" Yingtan spread his hands.

Charlotte nodded and said, "Alas, you're right, you really know me." I'm only looking for exclusive, exciting news, and lately these articles have been a waste of my talent. ”

"Actually, this kind of news is okay, it's just that the people you follow are wrong, so it won't seem meaningful." Tassel replied suddenly.

"Oh, is it? Does Tassel have any unique insights into this type of news? ”

"Yes, for example, change the characters, [Mondstadt Wind God sings lonely on the street for a glass of wine, why has Liyue Rock God become a disgusting social waster, why does Inazuma's Thunder God enter the city like a girl in the countryside, why does Sumeru's grass god have no wisdom, why does Fontaine's water god cover his stomach and leave in shame when he sees the Traveler?] Behind all this is the distortion of human nature, or the degradation of morality]"

Listening to Tassel's words, Charlotte was dumbfounded, she didn't expect someone to arrange the gods of the Seven Kingdoms like this, but if this paragraph was sent out, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Teyvat, of course, she could only think about it, if she really did it, she wouldn't dare.

"Stop, stop!!" Thinking of this, Charlotte hurriedly stopped, she suspected that if she didn't stop it, something even more terrifying would definitely happen.

"It's you, Tassel." Unlike Charlotte, Ying gave a thumbs up to the tassel.

"Am I not right? That's not enough to attract people's attention? ”

"That's true, but the title must not be published! Absolutely not! Charlotte shouted.

"Well, that's a shame, do you have any unique news here?"

"I want to think about it." Charlotte touched her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Come to think of it, I've actually been tracking a case. Oh no, it should be a series of cases."

"What case?" Ying asked.

"[Girl's Serial Disappearance]!" Charlotte replied, "This is the most mysterious and topical event in Fontaine. ”

"If you can be the first to complete the press release when the [Teenage Serial Disappearance Case] is solved, and occupy the front page of the "Steambird" newspaper"

"At that time, all my peers must be so envious that they will shed tears, right? For that moment, I've gathered a lot of material, just waiting for the truth to be revealed. ”

"[Girl's Serial Disappearance]?"

"Well, the first case of a serial disappearance of a teenage girl probably dates back almost twenty years." Charlotte replied, "From that time to the present day, every once in a while a young girl goes missing, all of the same age, and disappearing without a trace. ”

"The most terrifying thing is that none of those missing girls have been found."

"During this period, many people have been arrested as suspects in the disappearance of young girls, but after a while, the cases will continue to happen."

"In this case, it should be a gang." Fu Xuan touched his chin and thought.

"Well, it's quite possible that what you said is also very likely, but no matter what, I believe that everything should have a definite truth, and the truth will always be revealed."

Fu Xuan spoke up: "But the truth is often not satisfactory. ”

"I know that, but at least give an explanation to the families of the missing girls." Charlotte spoke.

Xianzhou Luofu, Tiance Mansion.

The members of the train crew came here with a lot of thoughts.

"General Jing Yuan said that he wanted us to find him after a while, if we come over now, it should be enough time, right?" March 7 said,

"Let's ask Qing Yan first."

After hearing the intentions of several people, Qing Yan replied: "Please wait a while, the general is discussing important matters with the adults from the Immortal Alliance, and it is estimated that it will take some time."

Before Qing Yan's words fell, a familiar voice sounded from behind everyone, "Hahaha, it turned out that everyone from the train crew is here." ”

"General?"

Qing Yi looked at Jing Yuan in surprise.

"Well, during this time, I have completed discussions with my friends from the Kyushu Immortal League, and they will do their best to assist us in Luofu Xianzhou during this time." Jing Yuan said,

"The foreign enemies of Luofu Xianzhou have no worries for the time being, but they still need us to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Fu Xuan chose to leave at a really good time, she used to miss this position as a general."

Jing Yuan said this and sighed deeply.

"Count the casualties and losses, assist the Kyushu Immortal League in chasing down the abundant evils, and explain the battle situation to the Six Emperors, hey, headache."

"Fortunately, you are here, and I can take the opportunity to rest for a while."

"No wonder you invited us over today." March 7 whispered.

"Since I am the general of Luofu Xianzhou, I naturally want to thank you for your help as Luofu Xianzhou when things are about the same, and now that the matter is over, it is time to be open and honest with you." Jing Yuan coughed lightly and said,

"Wow, is this the benefit promised by the general? Is it coming? March 7 was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, the Star Dome Train is the life and death of Luofu, and the sincerity can be seen. After the consultation of the Six Emperors, from now on, you are Luofu's sworn allies. Above the territory of Luofu, you are treated with the highest standard of preferential treatment as envoys of the Alliance. Jing Yuan said.

After listening to Jing Yuan's words, everyone in the train crew glanced at each other and all showed a smile of relief.

"On behalf of the Star Dome Train, I would like to thank the General." Walter spoke up.

March 7 turned his head and whispered to the star: "Wow, although I didn't give anything practical, it sounds pretty cool."

"The words of thanks have been said, and I would like to invite you to come here with Jingyuan."

Jing Yuan made a gesture of please to everyone.

Although everyone in the train crew was curious, they still followed Jing Yuan to the corner on the side.

When he came to the destination, he saw Jing Yuan turn around, and March Qi said with a bitter face: "Isn't it?" I'm just thanking you, so you're not going to send us a task."

Jing Yuan said with a smile: "I can't talk about the task, I just invite you to analyze your current actions with me, here Jing Yuan will know everything and say everything." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xing stretched out a hand and made a gesture to Jing Yuan, "Then, let's talk about the illusion first." ”

"Now it seems that the illusion is the mastermind of everything; In the history of Xianzhou, the Antimatter Legion has also been at war with the Alliance, so we are always vigilant about the movement of the Legion's strength. ”

Jing Yuan replied, "But no one expected that their attack would be carried out in some more secretive way. The Lord of Extermination infiltrated in disguise, instigated a conspiracy, handed over the star core to the Medicine King's secret inheritance, triggered a rebellion, and wanted to induce Luo Fu to destroy himself. ”

"Now that we have a reliable ally, we can rest for a while."

"A reliable ally should refer to the Kyushu Immortal Alliance, right?" Walter spoke up: "Then can you tell us something about the Kyushu Immortal Alliance?" ”

"Naturally, the docking with our Luofu Xianzhou is Xianzhou Tianquan, one of the seven immortal boats of the Kyushu Immortal Alliance, and the name of their immortal boat is named after the Big Dipper, which is not much different from the culture of the Xianzhou Alliance, presumably their homeland has similarities with us."

"Not only that, they have too much priority over the Xianzhou Alliance in terms of management, which is something that the Xianzhou Alliance can't compare."

"What does General Jing Yuan mean that their management is not suitable for the immortal species?" Walter asked.

"No, the people of the Kyushu Immortal League are all immortals, they are the biochemistry of life, and in the ancient books we have recorded, they are the immortals that our ancestors were looking for." Jing Yuan shook his head and said,

"So how can the method of managing immortals be applicable to ordinary immortal species?"

"I see." Walter bowed.

"Not only that, they have a deep attachment to [Abundance], not the hatred of the Xianzhou Alliance for [Abundance], but like the joy of a tiger meeting a lamb."
