"....Lord Water God?"

Although Fucarus was not the water god of his time, Cassiodo's keen insight allowed him to instantly identify who the person before him was.

"No need for further words, lead the way."

“Your old friend still hasn’t given up his ambitions, and that’s why I’ve come here.” ’Furina’ said softly, her expression calm.

Compared to what Rene did, Lemuria's side was actually a bit better.

After all, if the former's plan were to be realized, all of Teyvat would become easily soluble in water, while Boethius's plan would at most cause the water in the womb to rise.

Once the curse on the people of Fontainebleau is removed, this will at most be a natural disaster.

However, now that we know about it, there is no need to condone this man-made disaster.

Moreover, Boethius also abducted the souls of many Fontaines for his plan.

Since he was filling in for someone else, Mr. Jiang Qiao, who loved doing his job, obviously couldn't just sit idly by.

Of course, waiting for the "Enemy Group" to come and help is also a solution.

But since it's on the way, let's just deal with it together. It's just one detour anyway.

“Boethius.…”

"I understand."

Cassio, who was in the form of a white cat, nodded and then led the way.

Appepp, who was following behind, curled the corner of his mouth in a smirk.

"I never imagined that mere humans could achieve this level of skill."

She understood the cat's situation.

I will preserve my will, so that one day in the future I can fulfill my unfinished wish.

It's not surprising that demons can achieve this level, but weak humans...

"To be precise, he should be called a pure water spirit, and as Remus's handpicked tuner, it's not surprising that he has some special qualities."

“In this respect, the people of Liyue are still more outstanding.” Although Fontaine also has superhumans like Rene, when she thinks of the remaining wills in the Abyss of the Rocks, 'Furyn' can’t help but feel respect.

It seems that only the unyielding Chiyan could accomplish such a systematic feat with the willpower of a mortal.

"Liyue? The territory of the Geo Archon... Hmph, I'm rather curious. Speaking of which, do you know how he's been lately?"

"You mean the Dragon King Ruoduo? He's still trapped under the seal."

“...This is outrageous.” Upon hearing this reply, Appepp was instantly enraged.

"Ah, don't misunderstand. Ruoduo has a good relationship with that God of Noble Gold. It's just that he's getting old, his mind is a bit worn out, and he's not very clear-headed anymore."

"Speaking of which, you're clearly older than Ruo Tuo, so why don't you show any signs of wear and tear?" Jiang Qiao asked curiously.

"Hmph, don't compare me to those juniors."

"You think mere wear and tear can sway my anger towards that usurper?"

Upon hearing this, the blue-and-white-haired girl instantly showed a knowing expression.

I understand—Ruo Tuo is not thinking clearly and can mistake the old man for an enemy.

But Appepp was simple—she hanged herself on the pillar of justice.

I don't care if you wear it out or not, my determination to defy the natural order is unwavering!

"It's actually determined by the properties of the herbaceous element."

"Just like I can undergo 'reincarnation,' the grass element, with its extremely strong vitality, possesses the ability to self-iterate." The Great Tree King, holding 'Jiang Qiao' and taking a sip, explained quite seriously.

If the King of Grass can do it, there's no reason why the Grass Dragon, also a king of the Grass element, can't.

Hmm~ No wonder the heir of Egolia likes this kind of thing. The feeling of 'spiritual essence' converging and then savoring it is just too wonderful~ Feeling the strange pleasure of that 'interaction', Miss Tree King is somewhat intoxicated.

Two words: comfortable!

Unlike Fukaros, who is separate from Jiang Qiao and can only indulge in her cravings occasionally, the Great Tree King, who was 'eaten', is more conveniently located inside Jiang Qiao. She can even peel off the 'outer packaging' of 'Funina'—don't ask what's inside the outer packaging, it comes with a built-in straw and it's so satisfying to suck on!

As for the psychological burden, why worry about it when you've already swallowed it all? Take every last bite before it's ripped out!

To enter the ruins of Lemuria, one must normally follow a set procedure.

But Jiang Qiao is clearly not the type to follow the rules, or rather—a relic of the old era, making me follow the rules?

Do you see this body and this face?

As the water god of Fontainebleau, I am the rule!

Especially with Egolia, Jiang Qiao thought—your master Remus would have to bow down and kowtow twice when he sees me!

"What a huge whale!"

As Jiang Qiao frantically pounded on the door, the fairy Ellie, who was following beside her, saw the giant whale bound by chains and couldn't help but exclaim, "It feels even bigger than Eden!"

"But it's not as pretty as Eden."

That's how she described it.

Hyperactivity

Jiang Qiao casually flicked her index finger, and the chains binding the whale snapped instantly.

“Oh, so it’s Prince Scylla of the water dragons.” Apep saw the whale, and after examining it for a moment, he showed an understanding expression with a hint of nostalgia.

She took the initiative to greet him:

“Scarla, long time no see. You don’t look too well.”

"Hmm...you are...oh, you are Lord Apep, the Dragon King of the Pure Grass Dragon Clan!"

As a relative of the first Water Dragon King and a prince, Scylla naturally recognized Apep, the first Grass Dragon King.

"Hmm, it seems that you ancient people have a lot to say to each other after reuniting."

"Then you two can talk amongst yourselves. I'll go deal with the remaining molecules in Lemuria first."

Having a keen eye for the atmosphere, Jiang Qiao left a message and then led the fairy Ai Li toward the royal city.

No guidance was needed, and nothing could stand in the way, for the ocean was the domain of the water god, especially after obtaining Egolia's 'heart'.

During this time, although many stone statues in the sealed city tried to stop her, 'Funina' only glanced at them, and her divine 'droplet' eyes freed the souls bound to the golems.

"I really don't understand why they would trap a person's soul in heavy stones." The fairy Ellie couldn't help but complain as she looked at the stone statues and knew the history of Lemuria.

No matter how exquisitely the stone is carved, how can something so lifeless bear the weight of vibrant life?

"Indeed, it is a heavy constraint."

Jiang Qiao nodded—just like Rene had complained after learning about the Lemurian Empire: "You actually thought of using stone as a carrier? Idiot! The most suitable carrier is clearly water!"

"This is also determined by the nature of Remus," the Tree King sighed.

She was no stranger to this old friend from Sumeru.

The demon god named Remus wields the power of 'melody', and because of the connection between melody and art, he is very fond of art.

Rather than searching for meaning, Remus prefers to give meaning.

"Placing the humans he loves inside an elaborately carved golem, with the hard stone providing excellent protection, that's probably what that person was thinking, given their personality."

A person's character determines their destiny.

After experiencing the cycle of life and death and consuming a lot of 'ginger extract', the Tree King, as the god of wisdom, has gained a higher and more comprehensive perspective on the world than before.

The best way to treat humanity is to let go and entrust the future to them.

If its boundaries are restricted, it will eventually suffer the same fate as Remus, the Tower King of Mondstadt.

Of course—at this moment, within the royal city, Boethius clearly wasn't in the same leisurely mood as Jiang Qiao.

Having been connected to the royal city and having stolen Remus's power, he had long since discovered 'Frinna's' arrival and was furious about it.

"Damn it, why did the Water God come knocking on our door?!"

If it were just dealing with that blond-haired kid, Boethius wouldn't have the slightest worry—it's laughable, a blond-haired guy with a flying vehicle, does he even dare to contend with my Lemurian Empire? In the past, such barbarians would have been hanged!

However, even a god, even one from Fontaine whom he disliked and who was descended from those barbarians, was someone he could absolutely not contend with.

Unless...we steal the power of that traitor Remus.

In fact, Boethius did just that all along.

Once he absorbs that guy Cassiodo, he can take over King Remus's power and become a true demon god, capable of rebuilding the once glorious Ancient Lemurian Empire.

but now....

Snatching someone from the side of the water god... even Boethius, with all his arrogance, felt that such a thing was rather impractical.

The feeling of uncertainty gradually caused some form of intervention to waver.

At this moment, [Fobos] had a bit of a headache.

The puppet that had been manipulated for thousands of years suddenly began to waver.

And that water god of Fontainebleau is one too...

It actually quite wanted to surrender, after all, Phobos now had the instinct to survive.
