Section 240

[This time you will improve the effect of the rules, so that each judgment reaches its effective limit. ]

[At the age of sixty-one, you are making cards. ]

[At the age of sixty-two, you are still making cards. ]

[At the age of sixty-three, after spending three years, you finally successfully remade a set of divine power cards with more complete rules and more powerful power, whose power limit is enough to reach the level of the four rulers. ]

[But you don’t feel any joy, because when the divine power cards are remade, the progress of template unlocking is still stuck at 99%. ]

[You failed. ]

[You feel desperate and even fall seriously ill. ]

“Ryder!!!”

Inside the Privy Court, in a luxurious house.

Funina rushed into the house with an anxious face.

The maids who were busy were startled.

"Lord Fu, Lord Fu Nina?"

"Where's Reid?" Fu Nina asked hurriedly, "Where is he?"

"Lord Reid is resting upstairs."

No one dared to stop the water god. Fu Nina rushed upstairs and arrived at the room, where she found Su Chen leaning against the bed reading a book.

"Reid, are you okay?!"

Su Chen put down the book, looked up and smiled, "What can happen to me? But you, you're so noisy, be careful not to get caught."

"Really okay? Aina clearly said that you came back because you were not feeling well, and so did those people in the logistics department."

Originally, she was looking for Su Chen to go to the Opikle Opera House, but when she arrived at the logistics department, she heard that Su Chen had fainted in the morning, so Fu Nina hurried over.

"Do you think I look like someone who has problems?"

"Hmm..." Fu Nina looked at him carefully, "My face is a little pale."

"It's just that my strength is overdrawn."

"Overdrawn?"

"Of course." Su Chen said unhappily, "Isn't this all to make more powerful cards for you?"

"Ah?"

Fun Nina then remembered that four years ago Su Chen said he would make more powerful cards. Although he was not used to the absence of rule cards, because his identity as the God of Water was deeply rooted in people's hearts, no one dared to doubt it, so it was okay on weekdays.

The only pity is that the three gangsters are not around, and Su Chen is studying day and night, so he is a little lonely.

"Really?" Fu Nina always felt that something was wrong.

"You will know if you try it yourself."

Su Chen spread his hands.

Cards flew out of his palms one by one, spread in the air, emitting a faint light.

The most eye-catching one is the card in the middle with a hint of red in the gold color. In addition, there are four gold cards, seven gold-purple gradient cards, and several other purple cards.

A series of light emanated, and Funina was completely stunned.

"These...are all mine?" She said in disbelief.

Su Chen smiled faintly: "Yes, they are all yours."

"Wow...Ryder, you are so nice."

"Well, okay, I get it...Hey, you won't cry, will you?"

"Because...because I am just very touched."

"Then don't wipe your snot on me, don't come close to me, you idiot!!"

...

After a period of confusion, Funina left with the cards contentedly.

After she left, Su Chen, who was leaning against the head of the bed, breathed a sigh of relief. His face suddenly looked ugly, and he seemed to have aged all of a sudden. The aging was not in his appearance, but in his spirit.

"Huh~ It's really embarrassing."

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had experienced this feeling of "old and weak".

Of course, this is not important. If it was just to experience the life of an ordinary person, Su Chen would be happy to participate in this simulation.

But it involves unlocking his template, and the last 1%, which seems like an insurmountable chasm, makes him feel desperate.

Failed.

The last 1% failure, even if the previous 99% is successful, will not help.

And the current condition of his body is no longer enough to support him to conduct more in-depth research.

Neither time nor energy is enough.

Su Chen is unwilling, but it is useless.

[You know, this simulation may end here, you are no longer able to explore deeper rules, so you plan to give up research and enjoy the rest of your life. ]

[You rested at home for three days, and then came to the Opikle Opera House. ]

Today is the adjournment time.

The Opikle Opera House occasionally stages stage plays in its spare time, and Ms. Funina will appear in person when she has something to do. At that time, it must be the most lively theater in the opera house.

Su Chen walked into the opera house and walked to the stage. Just this distance made him a little tired.

It turned out that I was a bit too stubborn to refuse Aina's company before...Su Chen stood in front of the Cardinal of the Oracle, raised his head and watched quietly.

After decades of changes, this opera house has not changed much, and the fact that the Cardinal of the Oracle can generate energy to maintain the operation of Fontaine has been completely accepted by the people.

While thinking, the surrounding space suddenly changed, and the long-lost scene appeared again.

"Let me make it clear first, I didn't show up to meet you because I was bored." Fukaros crossed his arms and looked at Su Chen curiously, "What's wrong with you? You look like you're about to die."

I said it was best not to meet, but that should have been decades ago.

Fukaros has always adhered to this bottom line, but after feeling Su Chen's weak breath of life, he couldn't help but come out.

Su Chen spread his hands: "Look at what you said, people will die, isn't this normal?"

"But... is that all?" Fukaros was still surprised, "You are a variable that can affect the whole world."

"Since it is a variable, it means that it is uncontrollable, and you may not be able to change anything, right?"

"You have a point... Alas~ It's a bit sad, I hate this the most." Fukaros sighed, "You guy, you came all the way here, it's hard for me not to see you."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Let's chat."

"Chat... about what?"

"How about here?"

"What do you think? That Villette is a very sharp guy, I dare not peek outside every time."

Su Chen looked around, the decoration was almost the same as in the opera house, but the difference was that no one in the whole theater appreciated it, there were no audiences or actors.

In other words, Fukaros was both an audience and an actor, and she would dance solo here until everything was settled.

"I wanted to ask this before." Su Chen raised his head and looked at the sky-blue sword hanging above the consciousness space, "What's the name of this sword?"

"Oh~ Why do you care about it?"

"I think it looks pretty... There is an energy transmission inside, right? The power generated by the faith absorbed by the Cardinal of Oracle Judgment is not all used to convert into law compensation mixed energy, but enters this sword, right?"

The core of the Cardinal of Oracle Judgment is the Heart of God, and the Heart of God has the effect of collecting the power of faith. After all, this is a demon god-level thing. Even if the basic needs to maintain the operation of Fontaine are eliminated, it stands to reason that there should still be a large part of the power remaining.

So where did these powers go?

A flash of panic flashed across Fukaros' eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Of course not. If the power is not used up, it must be stored, just like something needs to be stored in excess. Isn't this common sense?"

"The sword of Damocles, the sword of crisis hanging, this is the crisis you are facing, right? Or the crisis that the entire Fontaine is facing." Su Chen said calmly, "The prophecy that the crisis is hanging over your head and even the seven gods are powerless... Well, rather than saying it is a prophecy, it should be a curse similar to the law of nature, otherwise you can't do this."

Fukaros was completely stunned.

"You even know the law of nature?!"

"Ah, I know a little bit." Su Chen smiled, "From your reaction, I am right. Then, to solve the crisis of the law of nature, do you rely on Villette?"

Fukaros was silent.

"Do you want to tell me? It will be very hard for a person to keep a secret in his heart."

"Alas~ I knew I shouldn't see you."

Fukaros sighed heavily.

She really regretted it. If she had known this, she shouldn't have been curious. As a result, she was now in a dilemma.

But Fukaros finally decided to tell Su Chen everything.

From the moment she met Su Chen, it seemed like fate had arranged it. Fukaros decided to trust her intuition... Well, Reid was going to die soon anyway.

"In fact, you already know most of the things, except for one thing, which is the origin of the prophecy." Fukaros said softly, "From the moment the Fontaine people were born, the original sin they carried was the last water god Egolia who responded to the wishes of her people and stole the power of creation to turn the pure water elves into humans."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "You mean... the Fontaine people are pure water elves?"

"Yes, the water of the original fetal sea, that was the original birth of the entire Teyvat... It was originally Egolia's responsibility to protect it, but she took advantage of this convenience, but in the final analysis, it was us, the followers, who yearned too much for human life."

As Fukaros told the story, Su Chen finally understood what the original sin was that all the Fontaine people had carried since the moment they were born.

They were created by Egolia, and strictly speaking, they were not real humans, because the power of the original fetal sea contained in the Fontaine people would be stimulated the moment they touched the water of the fetal sea, reversing the process of creating humans, so there is a saying that the Fontaine people melted into the water.

Because their consciousness has become pure water spirits.

The curse is sent by the law of nature. In the continent of Teyvat, this is bound to happen and no one can stop it.

Since it cannot be avoided, it is better to let it happen and seek a ray of life in despair.

And Villette is the key point of all plans.

Use his own death to release the power of the ancients, let Villette return to the realm of the perfect dragon, and protect the Fontaine people under the prophecy - this is Fukaros's plan.

Let the Fontaine people no longer dissolve in the fetal sea water. This is something that only the Water Dragon King can do.
