Lemuria Empire, Forged from Her Tears
It is not a specific life form, but a Rules, an Order, an absolute sovereign that does not tolerate any challenge.
"Its power transcends the World Law... no, it is the Laws itself."
Just then, the scene shifted, and time fast-forwarded.
[In the ensuing Archon War, Fontaine became a land forsaken by the gods, and the foreign Demon God Remus established the Lemuria Empire, which later perished due to the loss of control over its creation.]
"The Forsaken Land?"
"Archon War?"
"Creation out of control?"
A barrage of new terms has left people overwhelmed.
Rong Nianbing pondered, "It seems that after Elysia was imprisoned, that land fell into chaos. The so-called Archon War is probably a war started by the gods to fight for dominance."
"That Demon God named Remus also attempted 'creation'?"
Ye Yinzhu astutely grasped the key point.
"His creations have gone out of control... Does this mean that any creation not permitted by ' Heavenly Principles ' will ultimately be destroyed?"
These words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
It's like an invisible Shackles, placed on the heads of all those with creative potential.
How tragic!
Chang Gongwei shook his head. "Whether it's Elysia's goodwill or Remus's ambition, under the Rules of ' Heavenly Principles Principle,' they're just a joke."
However, the most absurd and incomprehensible scene unfolded.
Ultimately, in order to establish the Seven Archons, Heavenly Principles released Elysia to rule Fontaine.
Dead silence.
A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?"
One second he was being subjected to heinous crimes for "stealing Authority" and imprisoned for countless years.
The very next second, just because the "Heavenly Principles" that brought down punishment needed to establish some kind of "Seven Archons Thrones," they released her?
And you want her to rule over that Curse land?
"What... what does this mean?"
He Caitou, his face full of question marks, "I don't understand! Is this 'Heavenly Principles ' some kind of schizophrenia?"
"I... I don't understand either."
Xiao Xiao murmured, "Is it trying to punish her, or is it trying to use her?"
"Isn't this contradictory?!"
Xu Sanshi almost jumped up, "Your prisoner can suddenly become a warden?! This logic of Heavenly Principles's actions is even more despicable than mine!"
"No, this is not contradictory."
Ji Dong's eyes were icy cold, as if he had seen through something.
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"In the eyes of ' Heavenly Principles, Elysia was never a sinner who needed to be 'punished,' but a 'disobedient' tool."
He paused, then said, word by word, "Break the tool because it did unnecessary work. Now that you need it, pick it up again, fix it, and keep using it."
"From beginning to end, whether it was the creation of the Fontainian, their imprisonment, or their release... Elysia's fate, and even the fate of all the Fontainian, was merely a move on the chessboard of ' Heavenly Principles '."
Ji Dong's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.
The anger generated by the flood brought down by "Heavenly Principles" instantly transformed into a deeper level of fear and chill.
Anger arises because you feel the other person has been unfair.
The fear stems from the realization that, in the other person's eyes, you don't even have the right to talk about "fairness."
You are just an object.
Tang Wulin's breathing became heavy as he looked at Gu Yuena beside him.
He recalled the tragic wish of the Dragon Clan, the millennia-long struggle between humans and Soul Beast, and the lofty judgments of those so-called Deity.
In the eyes of those above them, are their struggles, their loves and hates, just as... insignificant as dust?
For the first time, such profound confusion appeared in the Dragon God's enormous golden vertical pupils.
Even he couldn't imagine such an absolute being that viewed all things as mere straw dogs.
"Tool..."
The two giants, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, chewed on those two words and only felt a bitter taste in their mouths.
They dedicated their lives to fighting for their sect and the glory of the Clear Sky Sect, but if there's such a "Heavenly Principles" above them, what's the point of all their efforts?
Just as the entire space fell into an oppressive, deathly silence, the azure Light Screen suddenly flickered.
All the text disappeared.
Instead, a crystal-clear tear slid down from the Void and dripped into the Primordial Sea of Genesis below.
It didn't cause any ripples.
That tear, silently and imperceptibly, dissolved into that azure blue.
It was as if it had never existed.
Immediately afterwards, a line of cold, emotionless text slowly appeared in the center of the screen.
The Original Sin of the Fontainian is that they are born to be dissolved by water.
On the Light Screen, the previous images slowly faded away, but the shock they left on everyone lingered for Jiujiu.
The powerful beings in the Divine Realm and Douluo Continent, whether they were new generation Deity like Tang San and Huo Yuhao, or Ancient Existence like the Dragon God Rong Nianbing, were still immersed in the extreme reversal and subversion they had just witnessed.
"Again... another inventory?" Ning Rongrong asked softly, breaking the brief silence. There was a hint of weariness in her voice; clearly, the continuous barrage of information had taken a heavy toll on her mental state.
Before anyone could respond, the Light Screen had already been rearranged.
A line of gilded characters, carrying an aura of solemnity and gravity, slowly emerged.
[A list of ten tragic figures!]
[NO.9--The First Water Goddess of Fontaine, Elysia]
"Tragic figures?" Zhou Weiqing raised an eyebrow. He was usually optimistic, but he was somewhat sensitive to these two words. "Why did you start listing the tragic figures after reviewing the strong ones? Is this Light Screen trying to scare us all the scares and make us shed all the tears we'll ever have in our lives?"
"Water God..." Tang San's gaze was fixed on those two words.
He inherited the Sea God Godhood and had the deepest understanding of the power and divine duties of the water element. He knew very well that to be given the title of "water god" meant that one's existence was definitely the ultimate controller of the water element in a certain world, an existence on par with the Sea God Poseidon.
"Can even gods experience sorrow?" Huo Yuhao murmured to himself.
In his mind, God is supreme and controls all things. They may fight because of differences in ideology, or they may be lonely because of the long years, but the word "tragic" seems incompatible with their majestic figure.
How could a god stoop so low as to need the pity of mortals and be defined as "tragic"?
A complex emotion flickered in Gu Yuena's silver eyes. She thought of the Dragon Clan of the past, of the Dragon God. Even the most powerful to the extreme ultimately met a tragic end.
"Hmph, what a charade." The Dragon God snorted coldly, his tone tinged with disdain, but his eyes were more focused than ever before. He wanted to see what kind of being dared to call himself the "Water God" and what kind of "tragic" end would he suffer.
