The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 363 Comparison between Gods
After the three of them discussed, Fucaros finally decided to take a two-pronged approach and not choose one from the two options given by Chen Tianfeng - she was prepared to take both.

In other words, break down the two plans and put them together into a new plan.

First, the ancient dragon authority will be temporarily restored, and the people of Fontaine will be completely transformed into humans. Then Chen Tianfeng will go to Sky Island and communicate with Tianli about the prophecy in a friendly manner. At the same time, Fontaine will be prepared. When it receives a signal or Chen Tianfeng has not returned for too long, thus confirming that the negotiation has failed, it will take the initiative to create a flood to pass the prophecy.

There are two prerequisites for the implementation of this plan. One is whether Chen Tianfeng is confident and capable of competing with the will of heaven, or even slightly surpassing him. The second is to ensure that after the flood prophecy is resolved, the will of heaven will not turn around and set up another prophecy of destruction such as a meteorite or hurricane.

These two premises are both related to Chen Tianfeng. To be more precise, the survival of Fontaine now depends on Chen Tianfeng alone.

Fucaros felt grateful and ashamed, but also a little distressed: Chen Tianfeng helped Fontaine so much, what kind of reward should he give to barely repay this kindness?
You can't just think about the gains but be stingy and not give anything, right?

But Fontaine is too barren, and not much can be found even if we search through all the boxes and cabinets. We can't let Villette try to trick a few Dragon Kings to come and give them as gifts to Chen Tianfeng, right?
Fucaros couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temple. He suddenly caught a glimpse of Fu Nina calling Chen Tianfeng "Mr. Monster" from the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and threw away the unreliable idea in his mind.

The three of them rested for a while, finalized the details of the plan, and then split up into two groups and went about their business.

Fucaros returned to Momang Palace first, preparing to discuss the temporary transfer of power with Navilette. Funina acted as a guide, leading Chen Tianfeng to appreciate the natural scenery of Fontainebleau, and they agreed on a meeting time.

"Fukalos has a deep misunderstanding of me."

Chen Tianfeng sat down on a sunny hillside. As autumn deepened, the overgrown weeds turned a little yellow and were no longer as lush and green as they were in midsummer.

"Why do you say that?"

Furninna was sitting next to him and looked at him curiously.

"Although I said so openly, I feel that it is a pity for me to come to Fontaine if I don't walk around and have a look, so I asked you to accompany me."

Chen Tianfeng lay down, folded his hands behind his head and said, "But actually, he was worried that I was not full. After seeing Villette, he would deliberately induce him to reject the proposal to transfer power, and then take the opportunity to attack him and eat him to relieve his hunger."

"Eh?"

Fu Nina was stunned for a moment, scratched her hair, and asked unsurely: "Does Fukaros really think so?"

Why did she feel that Fucaros was worried that going to see Navillatte with Mr. Monster would make Navillatte feel that what he was facing was not a negotiation, and that his power was not a temporary stripping away?
Instead, under the threat and instigation of Mr. Monster, the water god Fucaros chose to go along with him and gave him to Mr. Monster as food or something.

It seems that this is what the gods of Xumi did, and that is how the Grass Dragon King Apep became a gift.

"That's what I think anyway."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at Funina who was about to explain for Fukaros, and added: "But then I thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. Villette is not my enemy, and he has never offended me. He is also a human-shaped dragon king. It is not a good idea to eat him like this."

"Well……"

Funina blinked and finally understood what Chen Tianfeng meant. She immediately shrank her neck and dared not continue talking.

Mr. Monster is particularly dangerous when he is hungry. You should not get close to him. Otherwise, if he suddenly explodes in beastly nature, you will definitely not be able to escape.

She hesitated for a moment, and followed Chen Tianfeng's example, lying down on the soft grass, while carefully maintaining a certain "safe distance" from Chen Tianfeng. Chen Tianfeng closed his eyes, pretending not to see her little action. After a long time, so long that Funina thought he was asleep, he suddenly spoke:
"Funina."

"...Ah, I'm here."

Funina was a second late. While responding, she turned her head to look at Chen Tianfeng. She saw that he had opened his eyes at some point and seemed to be looking at the white clouds in the sky, but it also seemed as if he just kept his eyes open and was not looking at anything.

"Mr. Monster, what's wrong?"

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"after?"

"Well, later. The Fontaine Prophecy will soon come to an end, and the burden that has been weighing on your shoulders for hundreds of years will be lifted. You no longer have to play the role of a god all the time, being cautious, fearing exposure or any mistakes. And after this is over, what do you want to do?"

"Well, I have thought about it, about three or four hundred years ago, when I first started to play the role of a god. At that time, every night, in those quiet nights that belonged only to me, I would daydream about what kind of life I would experience after I completed Fukaros' plan and successfully saved everyone."

Fu Nina retracted her gaze and seemed to be staring at the clouds: "Opera, dancer, playwright, or any other profession related to the stage, all of these are what I like. I often think that when that day comes, I will happily return the throne to Fukaros."

"Maybe I should even put on a face and tell my friends: Hey, actually I'm not the water god, you all got fooled, am I really that powerful?"

"I kept thinking and thinking, and sometimes I couldn't help laughing, but I had to keep my mouth shut tightly, and never let my true feelings slip out."

"After one day or two days, one year or two years, or even a hundred years or two hundred years, I still didn't get the good news that my plan was successful. I didn't know how long I had to wait, or when I would be free."

Fu Nina was stunned, and finally sighed softly, then suddenly laughed: "Mr. Monster, you know what? When Fucaros appeared again and told me that the plan failed, I really wanted to cry. But...but, I felt so relieved."

"Because the performance is finally coming to an end, whether I succeed or fail, I can be free."

"I know it's wrong to think this way. I've let Fucaros down, and I'm sorry to so many Fontaine people who believe in me, but... but..."

Fu Nina sat up, rubbed her eyes, turned her head and looked at Chen Tianfeng: "Mr. Monster, am I useless?"

"On the contrary, you are amazing, Funina."

Chen Tianfeng also sat up and became serious: "In my opinion, a large part of the reason why Fontaine can survive to this day is due to you."

A mortal who was not a god, but through acting and keeping the secret, made the people of Fontaine and other countries believe that she was the water goddess. Even the gods were deceived.

Such an achievement is enough to make anyone respect Funina from the bottom of their heart.

Not to mention other things, as both are "new gods", in the past five hundred years, Furninna has done much better than Nashida.
