The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 367 Destruction
Chen Tianfeng looked a little embarrassed, and then he remembered that he had swallowed Inazuma's Heart of God along with the God of Righteousness. Such destructive behavior would naturally trigger a chain reaction in the pillars of the world.

"Is there any hope for this?"

"No, and even if there was, it would be meaningless at this moment."

Tianli shook his head.

"why?"

Chen Tianfeng was puzzled.

Tianli did not answer, but remained silent. Seeing this, Chen Tianfeng did not insist on asking. If Tianli was willing to speak, then there would be no need for him to ask again and again, He would naturally tell him the details; similarly, if He did not want to answer, He would not speak even if he threatened with a sword.

Tianli looked at the illusory pillar, and his mind emerged with every detail of his experience since his arrival in Teyvat. A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but quickly disappeared.

He recalled the scene before the Demon War, when demons coexisted harmoniously with each other and with humans on earth. He remembered how after the establishment of the Seven Ruling Systems on Earth, humans were deprived of the ability to freely guide the elements, while the demons sat on the throne in grief, licking their wounds secretly.

I remembered the changes in the Abyss of Kanreya, I remembered the Seven Gods obeying orders and rushing to the battlefield to participate in the destruction of the godless human kingdom, I remembered the betrayal of the Seven Principalities after they returned from Kanreya, I remembered...

Of the seven earthly rulers, six have now clearly rebelled against Sky Island, betrayed Him, and joined the camp of the gods from other worlds.

There is only one God of Fire left... Haha, the God of Fire.

Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?

Tianli closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was filled with peace.

"An alien god."

"explain."

"You came from Fontaine. Did Fukalos tell you His plan to deal with the prophecy?"

"Are you curious?"

"Ah."

Tianli nodded without denying and said, "The demons and dragons are hostile to each other and have a deep hatred for each other. They should not be able to coexist. I want to know what Fukaros did to make a dragon king switch sides."

Chen Tianfeng did not hide anything and carefully chose his words before telling Fucaros about his plan.

"Sacrificing myself to gamble that the new Water Dragon King will successfully integrate into human society, and after he regains full ancient dragon power, [pardon] the sins of the Fontaine people. So... this is the so-called [true love] again?"

Tianli was silent for a moment, and tiny ripples appeared in his majestic golden eyes, as if he was recalling another story about the devil and the Dragon King.

"That pure water elf named Fu Nina is indeed remarkable. I recognize her courage and sacrifice. But Fukaros... is so naive."

Tianli paused, and uttered a few more words in an indifferent tone: "Stupid."

"childish."

"weak."

"cowardice."

Chen Tianfeng listened quietly, and after Tianli finished his evaluation, he pondered for a few seconds and asked: "If it were you, if you were in Fukaros's situation and eliminated my interference, what would you do?"

"The root cause of the crisis predicted by Fontaine lies in the half-finished creation of humans by Egolia. If we want to completely solve this problem, we need the complete power of the ancient water dragon. If I have half of the power, and I know the location of the Water Dragon King who has the other half, and He has just been reborn at that time, He will definitely not be my opponent."

Tianli said calmly: "I will take this opportunity to capture and imprison the newborn Water Dragon King, and try to strip him of the ancient dragon power. I will control him and personally forgive the sins of my people."

Instead of gambling that your mortal enemy will be influenced, you should hand over the safety of your country and people to the hands of your enemy.

"The power of the ancient dragon cannot be completely taken away from the Dragon King."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head.

"Okay, you did it." "I am a special case and cannot be used as an example."

"Then if I say that [The power of the ancient dragon cannot be completely taken away from the dragon king] is not complete, and the complete sentence is [The power of the ancient dragon cannot be completely taken away from the dragon king permanently], would you agree with my evaluation?"

"Not forever?" Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and frowned, saying, "Fukalos doesn't know this secret."

“That’s why I call Him stupid.”

Tianli said: "Authority exists forever, but the Dragon King will die. So when the old Dragon King dies and the new Dragon King is not born, where is the authority?"

"Fukaros thought that if the Water God's throne was destroyed, the power of the ancient dragons would automatically fall into the hands of the Dragon King. So why didn't he change his mindset and think about whether the power of the ancient dragons would be gathered towards the Water God if the Water Dragon King died and the Water God happened to be there?"

"He does not need to hold full power for a long time. Even just a moment is enough for Him to forgive sins and resolve prophecies."

"Take a step back and even if you have to sacrifice yourself, why not restrict the Water Dragon King? Use prohibition instead of emotion, use a contract instead of prayer, force the Water Dragon to perform [Absolution], and then strip away the ancient dragon authority belonging to the Water God and pass it on to your successor - such as that Finina."

"If it were me, I would not choose to trust the enemy, but try my best to attribute the great power to myself. Even if it is only for a moment, even if I die, what will be left for Fontaine will be a new water god and a broken dragon king who can control his life and death."

Tianli looked at Chen Tianfeng, his golden eyes showing no emotion: "How is it?"

Chen Tianfeng was filled with emotion, he bowed to Tianli and said sincerely: "I admire you."

Tianli's lips curled up slightly, and then fell quickly. It seemed that he was very pleased with the recognition of Chen Tianfeng's level of existence: "If it were you, God from another world, what would you choose?"

Chen Tianfeng thought for a moment and said, "It should be similar to you. I am not good at trusting people from the enemy camp either."

"..."

Tianli seemed to smile, retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and said: "When you stripped the power of the ancient dragon, I had already set the conditions for the cancellation of the prophecy: there will no longer be any humans disguised as pure water elves in the world of Teyvat."

"You can leave now, otherworldly god."

"Thank you."

Chen Tianfeng thanked him.

Now that Fucaros controls the complete authority of the ancient water dragon, he only needs to activate the authority to cover the entire planet and allow all Fontaine people transformed by pure water elves - whether they are in Fontaine or not, to become real humans.

After Heaven's Law modified the prophecy, there was no need for a flood, no need for judgment, and no need for the water god to shed tears, and the prophecy could be successfully resolved.

"Why don't you leave?"

Tianli still had his eyes closed, like a sculpture: "Anything else?"

"Have."

Chen Tianfeng nodded, his palm unconsciously pressed on the hilt, looked at the illusory pillar, and said: "You said before that repairing the pillar is meaningless, I want to know why."

"This should have nothing to do with you." Tianli said calmly: "No matter what happens in Teyvat, you will not be affected."

"No, it does have an impact, a big one." Chen Tianfeng shook his head slightly: "My friends are here, their homes are here. I am homeless and it is difficult for me to return to my hometown, but I don't want my friends to be like me."

"Friends... do you really consider them friends?"

Tianli opened his eyes, his golden eyes reflected his figure and the hideous giant snake behind him, and his eyes were filled with inquiry: "Or, is the 'friend' you know actually referring to someone else?"

"Before I became a god, I was also a human being, so there is no need to doubt my knowledge."

"……I see."

Tianli looked at him in silence for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, saying: "Teyvat is about to face external destruction, so even if the interior is restored to its original state, it is meaningless."
