Chapter 204
They were like pioneers in resisting tyranny.
It is self-satisfying.
However, now, anyone can hear it.
They were wrong, terribly wrong.
It's like a child acting foolishly, thinking they're right, when in reality they're incredibly stupid.
What a collapse this is.
"Please... please enlighten me, Lord Heaven." Barnabas's lips trembled as he spoke softly, almost stammering.
Kiana continued speaking slowly and deliberately.
"When you open the False Heaven, the forces from the outside world that are even more terrifying than the abyss will immediately descend, and a tsunami that wipes out everything will submerge all things."
"Humans will die, all living beings will die."
"The entire world will fall apart, and in the end! Even reincarnation will be impossible. The entire World Bubble will completely disintegrate!"
"..."
Kiana paced back and forth.
"The Third Descender can barely protect themselves in the outside world. The laws of nature can only use an eggshell to keep the Teyvat Continent shrinking and barely surviving."
"..."
"Do you think you can protect Teyvat at that time?"
"Are you sure you're not taking everyone down with you?"
"..."
Barnabas was speechless.
She looked up at Kiana.
I felt as if the world was spinning, and all my strength had been drained away.
His pupils trembled.
It looks like a broken doll.
The rest of the officials all looked on incredulously.
If only I had known earlier that the Heart of God existed to suppress the Ley Line and stabilize the World Bubble.
They absolutely refused to give it away.
What's more, if they were sent away, Barnabas would lead everyone to their deaths.
This makes it even harder to hold back.
Thinking about it now, I feel a chill run down my spine.
Fortunately, Heavenly Justice woke up early, otherwise we would all have ascended to heaven together.
Who would want to?!
PS1: First update delivered, two more to come, keep it up!
199. The younger generation these days is more terrifying than the last.
"As you all know, the area that the Heart of God is responsible for can stabilize the entire world like a rivet."
"To put it in terms you can all understand, your divine heart is in your own hands, and the regions you govern will be more stable, less prone to stagnant Ley Line, and less susceptible to being corrupted by the abyss."
"..."
Kiana didn't even glance at the distraught Barnabas, but looked at the Seven Gods with a hint of pleasure.
"And then... you all sent them out."
Barbatos was somewhat embarrassed.
Morax remained silent.
Beelzebul instinctively protested, "I haven't lost my God's Heart."
She had no recollection of giving her Heart of God to someone else.
Yae Miko... she must have been well preserved, right?
Morax and Barbatos almost couldn't resist.
The truth was made clear from the beginning: apart from the Heart of the God of Fire God, the rest were all taken by the Winter Empress. So you didn't understand at all?
Kiana looked at the simple-minded country girl with amusement.
However, we won't make things difficult for her.
He only looked at Nahida.
"Every time the World Tree shows abnormalities, especially when the World Tree is used to modify the entire world, it consumes the world's essence."
"Do you understand?"
"..."
Kiana spoke calmly.
"The more things are affected, the more intense the conflicts in the world will become due to disharmonious factors."
"These are all forms of consumption."
"..."
Nahida hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.
"I..."
"Would you like to guess how much time Teyvat Continent lost because you disturbed the World Tree twice?" Kiana looked down at the delicate little badminton shuttlecock.
However, compared to Nahida herself, the other gods, especially Morax, Beelzebul, and Barbatos, all looked over with horrified expressions; clearly, their emotions were far more intense.
The World Tree was disturbed twice?
Damn it!
When did this happen?!
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, they would have questioned Nahida.
You're just a manager, not an owner. Who gave you the right to do these things?
Besides, let's be fair, every time the World Tree is used, it only hastens the world's destruction. Are you trying to drag the whole world down with you?!
Grass!
The Seven Gods did not doubt whether what Kiana said was true or false.
Because Kiana's unparalleled power is unreasonable and overwhelming. Even if they say nothing, there's nothing they can do.
Because the other party could easily decide their lives, there was naturally no need for them to deceive them.
Not to mention that they were wrong to begin with, so punishing them or even killing them would be perfectly normal.
Her willingness to explain is itself a form of kindness.
The good news is, he shouldn't die too horribly.
Bad news, my heart can't take it!
"But... I should have only modified the World Tree once..." Nahida said hesitantly and timidly.
Morax was desperate.
Is the key question how many times it was revised?
The key point is that you, as the guardian, abused your power and committed embezzlement!
He remembered that Buer used to be quite smart, so how come he's so stupid now?
"The first revision was understandable, so we won't discuss it for now."
Kiana looked directly at Nahida and said softly.
"So, regarding your second change, the one you remember, do you think you did the right thing?"
"I..." Nahida wanted to say that her extraordinary wisdom must be correct.
But when Kiana looked at her like that, she somehow found herself unable to say a word.
Speechless.
Kiana then looked at Furina.
"Playing the water god..."
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Furina knelt on the ground, as if she had rehearsed it countless times.
Kiana sighed.
"With the Heart of God gone and the Throne of the Water God gone, Fontaine will not be able to claim innocence in the future when natural disasters and man-made calamities occur."
"It's only because I've completely cleared the abyss that I'm able to do so. Otherwise, even a mere Hydro Dragon King with all the power wouldn't be able to guard a region."
"..."
Barbatos, Morax, and Beelzebul looked at Furina, speechless.
I'm numb.
How come you younger generation members are all so good at causing trouble?
Lord Tenri, didn't you forget to say something?
With the water god who was the heart of the Primordial Sea gone, are you sure there's any hope for the Teyvat Continent?
So, is the water god also dragging the whole world down into the water for the sake of his own country?
Wait a minute...
The throne of the water god is gone.
So this water god is actually human?
The other seven gods were aware of Fontaine's prophecy, but they never expected that they would resolve it in this way.
Even if you don't know the whole story.
With the limited experience they had accumulated over the years, Morax and the others had guessed something and couldn't help but sigh even more.
It's a difficult situation!
Furina was unaware of all of Focalors's plans.
Even if she wanted to refute it, she couldn't.
Does this mean that if the prophecy isn't resolved, everyone in Fontaine will die?
To put it bluntly...
All those in power would agree that it's better for Fontaine to die than forcibly prolong its life and drag everyone down with it!
If we follow Kiana's version of events...
You could even say that Fontainebleau's continued existence was entirely due to donations from other countries. They could have lasted much longer, but now it's been shortened considerably.
This is insane.
Morax and Barbatos were increasingly speechless.
I am in deep despair.
The Dendro Archon, who was in charge of the World Tree, stole from it.
The water god is gone, leaving behind a complete mess.
The Ice God collected the Heart of God, causing the National Fortune of other countries to decline drastically. Not only that, but he also went on to wage war against the laws of heaven and even opened up False Heaven.
While other enemies are struggling to find a way in, you quietly become their guide.
You, no... you all!
Whether it's the Nibelungen, or Khaenri'ah, including you, Barnabas!
