Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 332 Chapter 330 - Luck and misfortune

"It's not a strange way to solve a problem by replacing certain chips."

Rama looked at Fukalos in the cage with a complicated expression, "But the premise of doing this is that the chips I have to pay for asking someone to help are lower than the price I have to pay to solve this trouble myself."

Otherwise I would be foolish to ask someone to handle this choice.

"Why Fukalos chose to seek your help, I won't ask." Rama paused, and his eyes fell on the face of the riddle god, "He should have weighed in on you when he came to you. The price of helping is much lower than sacrificing yourself.”

In response to the disaster, Fukalos' choice was to strengthen Navilite.

Teyvat's promotion mechanism is currently strong enough, and the upper limit of strength is basically determined at birth. Occasionally, there will be geniuses like Vanessa who have special opportunities and exceed the status limit, but the higher up, This promotion mechanism is more stable.

The gap between demon gods is huge in itself. There are demon gods like Morax who kill their contemporary opponents with one shot, and there are demon gods like Heulia who retreat again and again, retreating to the point where believers feel that they are really good. Why don't we fight back? He, take his head and go to the new gods.

Of course Heulia's story records the normal despicable side of human beings, but to be honest, it is really difficult to make humans and even their own believers feel that they can kill their gods. Heulia's level is really difficult. Stretchy.

What happened to the God of Salt is not a special case. The mechanism of this world is like this. He is just the unlucky one among the beneficiaries of this mechanism. Although he was born as a demon god, he encountered a demon war in which many demon gods would fall, and it happened that he In this war, it happens to belong to a low-level demon.

But to a certain extent, this kind of trouble is completely inevitable and is not Heulia's misfortune.

The promotion mechanism is so stable, which means that even the upper-level demon gods will sooner or later encounter troubles that they cannot solve. After all, they are just nobles within the Demon God, but Teyvat's upper limit is not just that of the Demon God.

It is impossible for a person to always encounter troubles within his own capabilities in his life. Such luck would be too unreasonable.

Fukalos and the Great Merciful Tree King are both another type of Heulia.

They are like gods of war most of the time, able to defeat almost all their competitors, but they still have to die, because they will always encounter troubles that they cannot solve, and they must use their lives to change the balance and fight for themselves. A glimmer of hope.

Fukalos chose to sacrifice himself, and the power of the ancient dragon was hidden in the throne of the water god, and the throne was bound to the water god.

There is no way to improve Villette's level, and Teyvat is not a world where one can become stronger through spiritual practice. Fukalos' operation is actually to help Navilette regain his power.

He killed himself with a knife and released the ancient dragon's power.

Of course, Fukalos didn't want to die, but between his own death and the resolution of the Fontaine people's disaster, he didn't have the best of both worlds, and one of them had to be sacrificed.

If you choose yourself, the flood will definitely not be able to carry away the Water God, but he can only watch that after Fontaine is submerged, most of the Fontaine people will merge into the ocean.

The flood is not aimed at identity, and it does not mean that the Fontainebleau people will definitely be melted. It is aimed at the bloodline, the line of pure water Fontainebleau created by Egoria... If we talk about biology, , this type of gene is quite strong. No matter which generation of ancestors you can contact with this group of people, the final floods can be carried away without discrimination.

Rama had wondered early on that if he tried to change a Fontaine's nationality and become a Sumeru or a Mondstadt and live in Fontaine, or if he tried another experiment and asked a Mondstadt to change his nationality and become a Fontaine, What should we do with this kind of people when there is a flood? After all, you also said that you are going to melt all the Fontaine people into the sea water, leaving only the Water God crying alone on the throne.

So what should we do with these Fontaines or foreigners?

This curiosity has been answered. The final answer of Fukalos is that it tortures blood rather than specific people. As long as it is related to the pure water Fontaine created by Egolia, it will be the Fontaine that the flood wants to massacre.

Obviously Fukalos did not intend to accept this fate. He planned to exchange his own life for the lives of all Fontaine people.

From his description, the pure water elves were envious of humans and asked their gods to create a human body for themselves. This should have happened after the Demon God War.

Egolia is also a master of pinching people. The pure water Fontaines she created are exactly the same as humans, but the composition materials are "slightly different". Therefore, these pure water Fontaines can easily integrate into the collective of Fontaines. ——It is impossible for him to have more pure water elves than normal people.

It's like a stream converging into a larger water system. The difference is that the genes of the latter are too tenacious. After they merged into the Fontaine people, they were not constantly diluted by the constant reorganization and changes of the bloodline. Finally, they merged with the Fontaine people. Normal people are almost the same. On the contrary, after the creek merged, the pure water Fontaine took control of the normal Fontaine, infecting the larger water system with its own hue.

From this point of view, most of the Fontaine people should have suffered an unreasonable disaster. They themselves were not the beneficiaries of Egolia's use of primitive seawater to create pure water for the Fontaine people. However, because Egolia is the god of Fontaine, the sky When Dao kills people, he simply kills the entire Fontaine without any selection.

Unless Fontaine originated, there would be no human beings, a country entirely composed of humans transformed from pure water elves.

But this may not be realistic.

Egoria is the winner of the Demon God War in Fontaine. It cannot be that after defeating all the Demon Gods, she does not have a single human believer under her command. Then the Kingdom of Fontaine is still quite outrageous.

After all the wars, there was not a single human being in the entire Kingdom of Fontaine. Rama could not imagine this outcome.

It’s not that humans are so special, but Teyvat is still a human world. The victors of the previous four kingdoms protected their families and constantly defeated foreign enemies. Finally, they completed the actual rule of a region and established the human kingdom.

Mond, Liyue, Inazuma and Xumi, these are all solid records.

There’s no way that after Fontaine’s god wins, there will be no humans in his area of ​​control, right?

And with the contamination of the pure water bloodline, almost all the humans who thrived in Fontaine were infected with the bloodline of the pure water elves, and they became the unlucky ones who were bound to die in the great liquidation.

Rama is not sure what their sin is. It is said that the reason for pinching people was provided by the pure water elves, the pinching behavior was done by Egolia, and the consequences of pinching people were borne by the Fontaine people... ·····Can't bear it, can't bear it at all, will kill people, all of them will die.

Considering what Sky Island said at the beginning, he did not think that the Fontaine people had any sins, but piled their sins on the Water God. But what was a little outrageous was that the final punishment of Sky Island for the Water God was to let The water god confessed his wanton behavior alone.

His punishment for Egolia was to massacre all Fontaine people and make the water god regret his choice that day.

Regret is indeed a very serious punishment. Rama also admitted that being powerless is indeed something that makes people anxious. After all, He is quite anxious now.

There seems to be no problem, that's right. Are the Fontaine people a bit innocent here?

Actually, there is a little bit, but He doesn’t care.

So the origin of the entire Fontaine story is essentially the story of a weirdo versus another kind-hearted genius.

The kind-hearted master of pinching took the risk and did something that was not allowed because of his desire to show mercy to his family.

It’s not that things that are not allowed cannot be done at all. Some things always conflict with the law. For example, in the last years of the dynasty, the hungry people wanted to eat with their shirts off. They were definitely not allowed to do this by law. But when they did this, there was no little genius in later generations who said that they should be hungry, should abide by the laws of the dynasty, and cannot resist even if they starve to death.

There are such geniuses, but not many.

Egolia's problem wasn't that she used primitive seawater, her problem was that she was caught after using it.

Things are fine so far. If you're afraid, don't do it. If you do it, don't get caught. If you do, don't scream. This is all normal.

In Egoria's case, she knew she was not allowed but she still did it. After she did it, she was caught. After being caught, she had no way to deal with the punishment. She just chose to summon the second genius Fukalos at the last moment and said, "Baby, I I've tried my best, but I can't solve this problem. You can think about what to do."

When Fukalos was ordered to face the crisis, he really came up with a solution. Of course, this is the other part.

Going back to the beginning of the story, after the master of pinching was caught, the weirdo who judged him according to the law said that I have already thought of how to punish you, and I don’t want you to do anything, so I will take action against the things you cherish. Listen carefully, they will all die, but they will die only because of your own choice.

You said that you caught the person who made the mistake, so you could either take off his court clothes and torture him, or if that didn't work, you could light up the pure water elves who were close to him and play the art of Emperor Escape and Nine Tribe Peeling together. Weird No. 1: No, He said I just won’t do anything to people who make mistakes, but I want Him to watch everything He cherishes be destroyed because of his own choices.

Not to mention the bad things he has done, the Fontaine man who doesn’t even know what happened: Giao Qouba.

What else can you do if you can't beat him?

Whatever you say is what it is. If you want us to die, if you push us hard, we will die for you. It’s not a big deal, right?

Rama put the barrier aside and thought for a while before asking: "Who do you think is wrong in this matter?"

He was really fine and would actually consider sharing the blame in this matter.

The sullen god suddenly froze, and immediately began to really consider this issue.

Buyer held his chin with one hand and looked interested.

"You see, the cause of this incident is..." Rama got stuck, "I sealed my memory, and it will only be restored after the matter has settled."

He looked at Buyer and said, "How about you tell me?"

"You have forgotten exactly what happened, and you are still thinking about who should share the blame?" King Daci Shu said with a subtle expression, "This is really..." "There must be some reason after all, someone makes a mistake, Then the punishment seems reasonable." Rama spread his hands, "If no one makes a mistake, but He insists on doing something like this, it would be too unreasonable."

Even if the gods are unreasonable, they are not completely exempt from responsibility.

"So, according to your logic, the responsibility lies primarily with Egolia." The Great Ci Tree King looked at the silent Water God, "After all, the cause of this incident came from a certain act of his willfulness."

It is only natural that he should pay the price for his willfulness.

It's just that some costs are easier, while others are a lot more troublesome, to the point where you have to give up some precious things to balance.

Fukalos remained silent.

He doesn't know all the inside information, but he still knows the origin of the Fontaine disaster.

Egolia handed over the responsibility of the water god to him, and naturally also told him some important things. He knew what happened so that he could solve this problem that Egolia could not solve.

Just looking at the origin of the disaster, this should be regarded as Egolia’s problem.

The water god's face looked a little gloomy.

He rarely thinks about this problem. After all, he couldn't solve the disaster before. After having a genius idea, he was busy solving the problem again.

Busyness can solve most of the random thoughts. He puts enough pressure on himself and has no intention to think about the cause and origin of things. He just thinks about how to deal with it and implement it according to his own ideas. This has already exhausted Fuka. Lose all the remaining energy.

He didn't even have time to give a clear answer to himself who was suffering.

Rama knocked on the cage, and the clear sound echoed throughout the palace.

"What should I say?" He seemed to be asking, "I don't have any relevant records in my memory, but if you refer to the story of a certain god, most of it involves sacrificing yourself to save the world."

"This is not too unusual. It is considered a normal development for you to embark on this path."

Rama actually still remembers some things, such as Fu Nina not being the real water god, such as the murderer and the process of the missing serial girl case, but he does not remember some memories about the water god.

The message he handed to the top management of Fontaine, the other party understood that this mysterious man must have a deep meaning when he said half of it should be kept half, so he half pushed and half followed his intention to make Fukalos' hidden method of hiding in the Cardinal's decree go bankrupt.

In fact, Rama didn't really keep half of it, that's all he had in hand.

The reason why people like Navilette and Leosley were so solemn was actually because they had suspicions or simply knew something. Knowing more, all kinds of conjectures flashed through my mind, and they were confusing. They didn't dare to conclude which one was the truth, but the importance of this matter did not allow them to take the risk to try it.

When you are not sure, you can only try to keep all possibilities.

Rama didn’t know the truth, but he knew about floods and other things. When it came to deceiving people’s caution, knowing this was actually enough.

It's hard to say whether this remedial method is effective, but Rama doesn't have any extra work to do in Fontaine, so he can spare time to try it.

But unexpectedly, Fukalos made a big move because of this.

Rama's expectation was that he was reluctant to give up his plan. Although he didn't know what the plan was, the final result should be that the floods were eliminated. Before that, he had no reason to leave Fontaine, and naturally there was no way he could come to Sumeru. Looking for Rama, the mastermind behind the secret mischief.

In fact, as if Fukalos got some hint from this, he simply gave up and went straight to Sumeru to find the Great Merciful Tree King.

This is obviously an arrangement made by King Daci Shu a long time ago.

In the plot, after the Great Merciful Tree King was deleted from World Tree, his god completely disappeared from the history of Teyvat. The Seven Consuls of the same period all believed that Nasida had always been the god of grass, and Xumi's status had never been There have been changes. But the current situation is that obviously there are still gods who remember King Daci Shu.

Rama also went through a lot of records and found that He had indeed disappeared in these documents and files, and all that was left behind was Nasita, the little auspicious grass king.

He was not curious about how King Daci Shu did it. This time, it was not that it happened anyway and it was useless to know why it happened, but that he really felt that it didn't matter.

Nacida also used the same method. When Skirmishers deleted herself, theoretically only people outside the world like Brother Kong could remember it, but Nacida was still able to recall it by reserving a fairy tale. something.

It's nothing more than the same means and operations. The improvised Nasida can prevent the skirmishers' operations. The Great Ci Tree King, who knows his possible future solution long in advance, should naturally have a similar level.

As long as these old friends can recall some of their memories, it will be a matter of course that he can win the trust of the Seven Earthly Rulers like Barbatos. After all, they were each other's best friends at that time, and this kind of friendship was more trustworthy than Rama, an almost complete stranger from a foreign country.

The Great Merciful Tree King covered his lips and smiled softly, then followed Rama and looked at Fukalos.

This question is actually a bit embarrassing.

The water god series, from Egolia to Fukalos, including the water god Funina who is not a water god, have all made sacrifices to some extent for this prophecy.

Fukalos died because of this, and Funina pretended to be the water god for hundreds of years, pretending that she was so haggard that she wished she could quit get off work immediately but had to keep up her energy to continue.

The best reason for a person to sacrifice is usually not a debt, but a sense of mission to achieve heroic deeds.

It’s hard to say what Fukalos was thinking. Rama’s question is more intuitive. In his question, he described the sacrifices that Fukalos and the Water Gods actively chose to save Fontaine as a mistake for him. remedy.

Do you feel that you are a hero who chooses to sacrifice himself to save innocent people, or do you feel that what you have to pay is the bargaining chip that you should pay because the guilt is on you?

Fukalos fell silent.

Rama did not doubt the demon god Teyvat...at least the love of the seven rulers for human beings. In fact, no matter which reason, it did not affect the sacrificial nature of the water gods.

The essential difference between making a mistake and not making a mistake is simply whether you have to pay the price for it.

Whether it is legal, ethical, or even caught red-handed are not enough to define whether you made a mistake.

Going to the bottom of this matter, Egolia's operation was naturally problematic, and her indulgence towards her dependents led to all subsequent variables.

Under the premise that he could not disobey Sky Island, he made a wrong decision. This was something that Sky Island did not allow and he could not pay the price, which led to Sky Island pronouncing some kind of prophecy. There is no doubt that He should bear the most basic responsibility for all subsequent disasters.

Unfortunately, not everyone who makes a mistake will always pay the price.

Sky Island neurotically chose to punish the Water God by executing the Fontaine people. Obviously the person who did the wrong thing was Egolia, but who was the one who took the responsibility and paid the price?

He is from Fontaine.

The water gods have the full opportunity and ability to stay out of the incident, even if the incident itself is a disaster caused by Egolia.

Rama does not think that a person must admit his mistakes and pay for his mistakes.

Of course this kind of thing makes no sense, but unreasonable things can happen.

When Egoria and Fukalos both chose to accept the execution of the Fontaine people, it didn't matter whether the matter was right or wrong.

He could stay out of the matter but choose to make sacrifices for this matter for some reason. He could still condemn it morally, but in practice he could only shed tears of gratitude and not know what to say.

Rama was used to this. He respected most principles, but he still felt that the most useful principle in the world was to be powerful.

Strong people can reason, which is the luck of the party who accepts the reason.

But they can also be unreasonable, which is also the privilege brought by their strength.

Between gods and humans, the gods created some kind of trouble and implicated humans. This does not mean that the gods are wrong, it can only be said that it is the misfortune of humans.

On the basis of misfortune, if God is willing to choose to stand up and take responsibility because he caused the trouble instead of simply watching and pretending that nothing happened... then this is not a matter of course, but everything The luck of the innocent.

Egolia and Fukalos don't need to be saved. Even if Fontaine is destroyed by the flood, it's not their fault.

And they chose to save people, which is even more lucky for the Fontaine people.
