Surtrochi Feeding His Pet Triggered a World-Crushing Tragedy: The Root of Fontaine's Dissolution Prophecy Was Just His Careless Act

"Sizzle--!"

Space, like a fragile canvas, was forcibly torn open with a huge rift by an extremely brute force!

Within the rift lies not a stable spatial passage, but a storm churning with chaotic and destructive energy!

"What is he doing?!"

Tian Hen exclaimed in shock. As a master of space, he had never seen such brutal and unreasonable spatial manipulation! This was not "opening" a passage; it was "shattering" reality!

Tang San instantly activated his Purple Demon Eye to its maximum, and he saw clearly the energy composition within the crack, his heart trembling violently.

"This is not Divine Power! It's a higher-dimensional, Pure Destruction energy!"

Just as the gods were horrified, an even larger shadow slowly crawled out from behind Surtrochi.

It was a Great Beasts... beyond description.

Its size surpassed that of any other Soul Beast in the Douluo God Realm, even several times larger than the true form of the Dragon God back then. It resembled a small star, its entire body a deep, dark blue like the ocean, covered in hideous wounds, one of which almost severed it in half, so deep that bone was visible.

Even though it was so badly injured, the aura it emitted still made all the god- Royal Capital present feel suffocated.

That was an absolute crushing defeat from a higher level of existence!

[The Star-Devouring Whale]

"Star Devourer..." Gu Yuena murmured to herself, her golden eyes filled with shock. As the Silver Dragon King, she could sense the terrifying power contained within this Great Beasts, a power capable of devouring the World Origin.

"Such severe injuries... who could have wounded it to this extent?" The Dragon God's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

However, Surtrochi's next move brought everyone's thinking to a standstill.

He then made a "push" motion towards the heavily injured Star-Devouring Whale.

It was as if they were dealing with a piece of trash that they had carelessly discarded.

No, it's more like...

[Feeding pets]

On the Light Screen, four short and cold words reappeared.

pet?

Zhou Weiqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He pointed at the screen and stammered, "He... he called that... a pet?"

That monster that can swallow a star whole, is it his pet?!

This realization is even more mind-blowing than tearing apart the space just now!

"Madman! Utterly insane!" Even the Iron-blooded Marshal Dai Hao couldn't help but swear at this moment.

Before everyone's stunned eyes, the enormous Star-Devouring Whale was slowly pushed into the violent spatial rift by that invisible force.

The Great Beasts beast vanished.

The perspective of the Light Screen also switched, following the Star-Devouring Whale as it plunged into the other side of the rift.

It was... an ocean of light.

An endless, pure, and pristine blue ocean.

There is no water here; what makes up this ocean is a viscous, warm, and pure energy that exudes a powerful life force.

[Primordial Sea of Genesis]

[Teyvat Continent, the origin and source of all water elementals.]

The system's explanation sent a chill down everyone's spine.

They instantly understood where they were.

"The Source of Elements!"

Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

This is equivalent to the source of Fire Element in the Dominus Lapidis's core lake in their world! It is the cornerstone that maintains the elemental balance of the entire world!

He threw that monster... into the source of the world's elements?!

"No..." Ning Rongrong's face turned deathly pale; she seemed to have already foreseen what was about to happen.

really.

The Star-Devouring Whale, which had fallen into the Primordial Sea of Genesis, had a massive body that resembled parched land receiving rain. It opened its enormous maw, large enough to devour stars.

"Buzz--!"

The entire Primordial Sea of Genesis trembled!

Endless blue energy transformed into visible torrents, surging wildly into the body of the Star-Devouring Whale!

Its horrific wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its aura is increasing exponentially!

It's eating!

It is devouring the world's "source of water"!

"It's over..." Hai Long murmured.

The image on the Light Screen split again.

On one side, the Star-Devouring Whale was feasting in the Primordial Sea of Genesis.

On the other side, there are scenes from various parts of Fontaine.

Sea levels are rising at an abnormal, eerie rate!

At first it was just one centimeter, then ten centimeters...

Soon, it became one meter, then ten meters!

The low-lying harbor was flooded, the streets turned into rivers, and panicked people fled to higher ground.

A data chart is Bingbing displayed in the center of the screen.

One curve represents the total amount of energy that the Star-Devouring Whale consumed from the Primordial Sea of Genesis.

The other curve represents the sea level in the Teyvat World.

The two curves soared in sync, almost perfectly!

Everyone understood.

All the intelligent people present— Tang San, Huo Yuhao, A'Dai, Ye Yinzhu —simultaneously had a thought that was both utterly absurd and incredibly real.

They thought of the somber prophecy from before.

The Fontainian are destined to "dissolve" in water.

That Divine Punishment, considered to be "Original Sin," stemming from the Heavenly Principles.

Could it be...?

Just then, the final and most fatal truth was revealed on the Light Screen.

The prophecy that Fontaine "Dissolved in Water" is not rooted in Heavenly Principles punishment.

[This was a chain reaction triggered by a careless act of feeding by the "Extremely Evil Knight" Surtrochi.]

Dead silence.

The entire Douluo God Realm fell into an unprecedented silence.

Tang San's pupils even lost focus at this moment.

He had considered countless possibilities: the conflict between gods and humans, loopholes in the World Rules, conspiracies from the Abyss...

He considered a thousand grand and tragic reasons.

But what I never expected was that the truth would be so... childish.

A catastrophic disaster for a nation.

A race's century-long destiny.

Simply because a powerful person felt that their pet was hungry and needed to be fed.

That's it?

He Caitou spoke instinctively, his voice extremely dry.

"Just because of... this?"

Xiao Xiao's face was filled with incomprehensible absurdity.

"The tragedy of one world is merely the result of someone else carelessly littering?" Tang Wulin's voice trembled slightly. He thought of the Abyss Invasion of the Douluo Continent, a life-or-death battle between two worlds.

But here, the survival of a world doesn't even qualify as a "war".

It was just a "feeding".

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye experienced information overload for the first time, not because of the sheer amount of energy, but because of the collapse of logic.

This is more disheartening than any conspiracy.

Because you can't blame, you can't hate.

In the eyes of that being named Surtrochi, the origin of a world might really just be a decent "feeding bowl".

The image on the Light Screen finally froze.
