Elysia Takes Heaven's Principles' Death Warrant! Passing Fontaine's Original Sin and Godhood to Furina
The scene unfolded quietly in everyone's thoughts.
There was no grand opening, no rousing music, only a line of cold text, like an inscription on a tombstone, depicting a long-forgotten history.
Five hundred years ago, the Nation Without Gods of Kandria was destroyed, and the calamity of the Abyss swept across the continent.
[Then-Water Goddess Elysia, commanded by "Heavenly Principles," went to the center of the calamity to suppress the endless Abyssal Monster.]
"Kandria?"
"Abyss?"
"Heavenly Principles?"
A series of unfamiliar terms left everyone somewhat confused.
But what shook them most were the four words "the mandate of Heavenly Principles".
"What is the Heavenly Principles?" Tang Wulin frowned. He sensed an unquestionable and supreme authority in these few words.
"To command a Deity?" Emperor Dai Hao gasped. As Emperor, he understood the weight of the word "command" better than anyone. This so-called "Heavenly Principles" clearly held a position above that of the water god!
"The God Realm Committee?" Tang San subconsciously thought of the highest authority in the Douluo God Realm.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Although the God Realm Committee can Binding the First-level Deities, it is by no means a Bingbing "command" relationship, but rather a kind of co-governance and consultation. And this "Heavenly Principles" gives people the feeling of an absolute and unassailable Domination.
"An embodiment of the Laws of a world? Or... a being of a higher dimension?" Rong Nianbing frowned. As the God of Emotion, he could keenly sense the indifferent and ruthless cold will behind the words "Heavenly Principles," which regarded all things as straw dogs.
The images shift.
It was an underwater palace that resembled a fairyland. Soft light shone through the water, illuminating the elegant and holy figure of a woman. She had eyes as clear as pure water, and her body exuded a gentle yet powerful life force.
She is Elysia, the water goddess.
However, at this moment, there was no joy on her face, only a resolute determination as if facing death and a deep sense of pity.
Standing before her was a girl who looked remarkably similar to her, but appeared even more youthful and naive.
[Elysia knew full well that this journey was fraught with peril, and the decree of Heavenly Principles felt more like a death warrant.]
Before setting off, she made a surprising decision.
[She passed on her "divine position," along with the "Original Sin" of the entire kingdom of Fontaine, to her retinue and creation— Furina.]
Boom!
This passage, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's minds!
"What?!"
"A divine position... can be passed down directly like this?"
"Wait! Original Sin? The Original Sin of a nation? What does that mean?"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Tang San, Huo Yuhao, and Tang Wulin, three people with experience in Godhood Inheritance, all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their Godhood Inheritance was nothing short of arduous trials, a recognition of the Laws, and a continuation of will. Yet, Elysia's actions in the scene resembled... the handing over of an item?
"No, this is different." Tang San stared intently at the scene, where the radiant, divine light, seemingly containing the waters of the entire world, flowed from Elysia's body and slowly merged into Furina's body.
"It's more like... stripping away and giving! She forcibly gave her very essence to another person!"
"What's the price? What is the price?" Lie Yan's voice trembled slightly. She and Ji Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes. Such behavior, which violated the basic Laws of the world, would inevitably come with an unimaginable price.
What terrified them even more was the word "Original Sin".
"Why would a country bear the burden of ' Original Sin '?" Ning Tian murmured. As the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had a deep understanding of the concepts of sects and countries, but he had never heard of such an absurd thing.
Sin is committed by people.
How can a nation or a group bear the burden of Original Sin?
Gu Yuena's body trembled slightly, and her silver pupils suddenly contracted.
She understood the weight of this situation better than anyone else. Didn't the pride and glory of the Dragon Clan ultimately become the sin and punishment of the Divine Realm? The fate of a race was nailed to the pillar of shame.
What, then, is Fontaine's "Original Sin"?
In the scene, Furina, the girl who had just been given godhood and Original Sin, had a face full of confusion, fear, and helplessness. She wanted to refuse, but she could not resist Elysia's gentle yet firm will.
Elysia gently stroked her cheek, her eyes filled with apology and expectation, as if to say: I'm sorry to entrust this heavy fate to you; please, you must save our people.
Then, she resolutely turned around.
The scene changes instantly.
It was no longer a tranquil underwater Temple, but had been transformed into a Human Realm hell.
The sky was torn open with scarlet rifts, and the earth was corroded by purplish-black filth. Countless grotesque monsters, exuding an ominous aura, surged out of the cracks like a tide.
They roared and howled, devouring all life and Order.
These are the Abyssal Monster.
"Wow... what an astonishing number!" He Caitou tingled at the sight. He prided himself on having seen all sorts of things, but this endless sea of monsters was enough to make any army despair.
"These things have a very strange aura, filled with the will of destruction and chaos." Niu Tian's expression was solemn. He and Tai Tan exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.
In the center of that sea of monsters, there was only a solitary and elegant figure.
Elysia of water.
She held Scepter, and pure water elements swirled around her, transforming into elegant arcs and deadly torrents.
[Faced with an endless Abyss Monster, although Elysia's fighting style was elegant and powerful, each attack purifying large swathes of monsters...]
In the scene, every swing of her pen is like the most beautiful dance. The water, condensed into blades, whales, and birds, carries the power of purification, precisely reaping the lives of demons. Her power is vast and boundless, seemingly inexhaustible.
However, the next sentence made everyone's hearts sink.
However, due to limitations in strength...
"Power limitations?"
The Dragon God raised an eyebrow and let out a cold laugh. "To be Deity, yet limited by one's strength? How laughable! True power should be boundless, crushing everything!"
But Tang San's expression turned extremely serious.
He recalled his helplessness in the face of spacetime turbulence in the Divine Realm. Gods are not omniscient or omnipotent. Faced with a higher Rules or a greater catastrophe, even the power of gods has its limits!
