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

Chapter 387 Chapter 386 - A long life

Overnight, Fontaine's situation changed drastically.

People have just welcomed their noble Lord Navilette. He disappeared for a long time, and then finally returned to his Fontaine just before some naughty god was about to completely take over the situation.

The people's spirit of resistance is not very high.

The ruler of the human kingdom was obviously not elected by humans. Regarding the seven earthly gods, they were directly appointed by Sky Island. In the subsequent development, it has completely turned into a family system where the previous god can freely choose the next god.

Of course, this is not a family world.

Because strictly speaking, the successor chosen by the gods does not need to participate in any competition.

The elites selected from all human beings can only have a chance to stand on the same track as them in the end.

Competing on the same stage is something that only a few humans can do, and if you want to win in the competition... you can only say that God bless you.

This is the general environment of Teyvat. The relationship between the gods' choices and humans is that humans must obey the new gods.

It is impossible for them to participate in the selection of the gods, nor to interfere with who the gods want to choose. Their only value and the only thing they can do is to choose to obey after the new gods appear.

The reason why Fontaine's situation is special is that Villette is a non-god, an alternative life that is stronger than a god.

The people are willing to remain silent for the time being, instead of immediately hugging Rama's thigh and praising his wisdom and prowess. Essentially, it is because Villette's pearls are in front - he respects the wishes of the people and respects Fontaine's. The law also has a force that is not inferior to the gods.

You say He is not God?

But we feel that He is God.

In this case, the public is willing to wait a while.

Because they just hope that Villette will be the next Fontaine god.

But this desire was not enough to support their fight against the divine authority represented by Rama and the power built on the divine authority.

To put it bluntly, of course there is no problem in letting them cheer for Villette.

If they really wanted to charge into battle, express their dissatisfaction with the God of Water, and shout that we only want Villette and not Herel, the God of Water, they were unwilling.

These words are really offending, and they perfectly illustrate the principle of applauding and suppressing others.

The key point is that the person being stepped on is not a good old man who can be bullied by others. He is not only a non-human being, but also a god who directly shouted, "I don't need your approval."

Naturally, being a god does not require the approval of humans, but the seven mortal kingdoms are also called the seven human kingdoms. Although humans cannot control the gods, what they show on a large scale is always the hard work of humans and gods.

We all work as a team, so how can you say something that is not conducive to unity?
Rama said this. No one doubts that it may be okay to praise Villette, but if the God of Water is used to praise Villette, He will definitely choose to retaliate.

So, who will bear the vengeance of a god?

It's better to skip it.

We are waving flags and shouting for you, but if we really charge into the battle, this kind of offending thing should be done by you yourself.

If Villette appears any later, folk voices will immediately rise to praise the God of Water.

After all, there are not many fools in this world. When they realize the power behind Rama and his unwillingness to compromise, they will choose to compromise and become Rama's supporters.

It is clear that resistance has no chance of winning. If you surrender early, you will enjoy it. If you surrender late, you will suffer more.

Regarding resistance, not many Teyvat people have this spirit.

It's not that they have any innate preference for being driven away. It's actually that over a long period of time, their resistance has rarely been successful.

Even the few successes had the support of gods behind them.

To say that the future is bleak is no longer enough to describe this solid future.

There is no chance of winning against the gods. There is really no chance of winning. Of course, everyone surrenders very quickly.

Objectively speaking, if it were not for Navilette, the Fontaines would have surrendered earlier.

They held on for a "long" time and then finally got Navilette back.

They witnessed with their own eyes that at the Opéra Opéra, the God of Water gave way and Villette took the lead.

The people of Fontaine were happy about this, and from the inside they could see that the God of Water was also afraid of Villette's strength.

Comparing Navilette with the current God of Water, it is obvious that he is a perfect ruler.

He is back, so why do you choose to embrace the lap of the God of Water?

The current God of Water is not a good god, but a real tyrant.

This kind of happiness does not last long. Unfortunately, it does not bring much hope to people.

Navilette returned to the Fontainebleau in the morning, and on the same day, Fontaine experienced a major flood. The source of the flood was killed by Navilette, and Navilette himself was seriously injured and difficult to treat, and disappeared into the tide together. .

The reason for disappearing instead of dying is obviously to suit the mood of the people.

Although based on the descriptions of some monsters at the time, they had roughly pieced together the "truth" at that time. For example, Navilette was dead and the God of Water swallowed his body - the people described Navilette as Fontaine's. Another demon god - they didn't know the demon god well, but they probably guessed that the demon god might have a mechanism to become stronger through fighting.

Anyway, the Demon God War happened a long time ago, and no one can find the few victors to ask you if you can gain extra power by killing the Demon God.

This answer is not outrageous. Of course, more importantly, if Villette is confirmed to be dead, then the truth is actually meaningless.

Giving the dead the truth will essentially not help them in any way.

Descriptions such as comforting the spirits in heaven... just treat it as true.

"They have accepted the reality very well."

Funina fiddled with a document, looking a little disappointed.

It contains a detailed record of a request for the noble God of Water to complete his past simple ascension ceremony. When Rama first came to Fontaine, he announced that he was the new successor in just a few words. God of water.

It does not need the approval of the people, nor the blessings of the people.

Not at the Opéra Opéra, no nobles or commoners are required to attend.

In the Momang Palace, He announced to several Meiluxins and several attendants and guards that the new God of Water had appeared and that the new father of the Fontaine people had arrived.

If this can be considered a ceremony to ascend to the gods, then this must be the simplest one among all the records of the Seven Kingdoms in the world.

"No one has ever mentioned this matter in the past," Rama glanced at him, "Are you concerned about this?"

Of course no one mentioned it in the past. They looked forward to Villette and did not scold Rama directly. It was already out of fear of the divine power. They asked them to take the initiative to praise Rama. The situation at that time was not so bad.

"If you are dissatisfied because of this reason, then the dissatisfaction ends here." Rama said, "You have never truly been a mortal for a day and cannot understand the powerlessness of mortals in the face of gods. Of course I That’s understandable.”

"But if you think there is something wrong with the people because of this, it's your fault."

They have no choice. Why express any dissatisfaction with a group of mortals who are born in such a world but have no ability to control their own lives?

Do they have a choice and don't want to blow Rama's head off?

Of course I do.

Let alone them, recalling his words at that time, Rama also felt that he deserved to be beaten severely.

Funina tilted her head, "oO? So considerate? This is not your style."

"I'm going to change my style." Rama said, "I have used the death of Navilette to pave the way for me to transform from a tyrant to a normal god...Compared with submission to power, of course it is the sincerity of the people. Able to contribute more faith.”

The transition from bad guy to good guy cannot be too abrupt.

But Navrat's death had been used by Rama to pave the way.

In fact, Villette didn't say anything at the time. The Water Dragon King's acting skills were not as good as those of Fukalos. It was impossible for him to let out any screams before his death even though he was clearly not dead... He couldn't do it. arrive.

From beginning to end, it is Rama's one-man show.

The people already know that Rama has obtained the inheritance of Navilite, so he will also choose to accept Navilite's request and become the god who protects the people.

Is this change sudden?
It is not surprising, because Rama has not changed, he is still a tyrant, and he just chooses to show goodwill to the people because of the greater interests.

He was merely expressing kindness, rather than becoming a good god.

People will remember this and then quickly forget it and tell themselves that Rama is a great good god.

The truth will not bring any help. Instead of doing so, it is better to worship the god and record him as the great god who is most benevolent and good.

This is a classic joke.

Do we want to protect people?

No, we just need to make people feel that they are being protected.

Should gods be benevolent and benevolent?
No, but the people need to know that God is all-benevolent.

When they are unable to resist, if He has pretended to be a good person, the people do not need a sober person to tell them that this is Rama's disguise. What they need is the propaganda that Rama is the good god.

The truth is not always needed.

Funina sighed, "Is this also part of your plan?"

"Part of it." Rama nodded slightly, "I just didn't expect that Villette would give me a chance in the end."

"So what about Villette's death?" Funina raised her eyebrows.

If I remember correctly, the deal between these people was just to exchange the position of the God of Water for Rama's favor at the beginning, right? At that time, it was not said that Villette must die.

"It's just the path that must be taken." Rama said, "You have realized the authority of Navilite at that time. I did not think of this situation before I came, but now that I am here, this problem must be solved."

His eyes fell on Funina and said meaningfully: "After all, this is a great situation you left for me."

The two great gods were doing great things, but they never considered the God of Water himself.

This is Fontaine's luck and Rama's helplessness.

He did not have this kind of dedication, and came here just to earn faith. As a result, the faith of the Fontaine Water God had been received by Navilette ninety years later.

If Naviolet is not taken away, it will take ninety years for him to be able to harvest people's faith normally - this benefit is not free, I have to do something for Fukalos to get this opportunity.

I spend money just to come to Fontaine to beg for food?
If He doesn't die, I will leave, and I won't be able to eat this meal.

So some things that happen really have nothing to do with hatred.

But He had to die.

Not out of hatred, just because He was in the way.

Funina's face turned red and she couldn't help but lower her head.

If Fukalos is unable to perform the normal work of the God of Water, after all, he needs to make some important preparations for the Cardinal's decree, then Funina, who directly caused the loss of power of the God of Water, is a real war criminal.

There was nothing Fukalos could do, and she really didn't do anything.

"I'm glad that you can realize your mistake. Well, now you have a chance to correct your mistake." Rama pointed to the other documents in front of Funina, "So stop caring about the thoughts and ideas of the people. Now, go do things and perform many obligations that you never fulfilled when you were the God of Water.”

"But I am no longer the God of Water." Funina curled her lips.

"The debt will not disappear just because your identity changes." Rama rejected Fu Nina's attempt to pass the blame. "Even if you change your name and face, it should be your fault. You just can't run away."

"I am saving you and giving you a chance to redeem your failed past."

Rama spoke righteously.

Although I don't work, it's not because I want to be lazy.

This is all for your own good, because you didn't work back then, so I gave you the work to make up for the vacancies back then.

"Huh..." Funina snorted softly, really having nothing to say.

When it comes to reasoning, Rama always wins.

Because He is truly right.

He is a stranger, but he came to Fontaine to do serious work, and he has never made any mistakes in his work as the God of Water.

If He makes no mistakes, He will naturally be righteous.

Funina can't.

She made mistakes again and again, and in the end she made no mistakes.

According to Rama's theory, her entire five-hundred-year career as a god was wrong, because she really hadn't done anything serious in five hundred years.

Apart from paying attention to the floods and watching a play at the Opéra Opéra, there was really nothing to do.

You're in pain, I understand you, but that doesn't affect the fact that you didn't do anything.

Even if five hundred years of perseverance offset three hundred years of mistakes, she would still have to work for two hundred years to repay her mistakes... Two hundred years? !

Fonina sighed.

A long lifespan is what everyone longs for, and she currently has a career as a god for five hundred years, and will be an assistant minister for at least two hundred years.

But why don’t I long for this long life?
