Chapter 901 Awakening Amidst the Death of All Things
Chapter 901 Awakening Amidst the Death of All Things
"No, it's about saving everyone."
Xu Ning corrected Navia's statement, "When the cycle of the world is complete, our future will most likely only have two possible outcomes."
"Firstly, the fate of the world ends at the end of the cycle, the laws of nature perish, and Teyvat also ends."
"Secondly, the world's cycle is solidified, and Teyvat's fate is like an ant walking on a Möbius strip, imprisoned on this planet, endlessly repeating the cycle."
"I am unwilling to accept either outcome."
Navia frowned and said, "I think you are still too pessimistic. Admittedly, we were taught by the messengers sent by the Heavenly Principles and created this beautiful world. But even after we lost contact with Sky Island, there are still many people among us who have worked hard to protect the boundaries and safety of this world."
"This world doesn't belong to you, Xu Ning, and you have no right to make choices for all the Teyvats... Even if you believe you're on the absolutely right path, you may not gain everyone's approval..."
Xu Ning burst into laughter.
"Your words make me sound like a tyrannical villain obsessed with authoritarianism. But you see, authoritarianism is often a very effective means of enforcement. So, let's end this chat, you two, and see you in the new world!"
Navia and Leosley were taken aback when Xu Ning suddenly decided to end the conversation without their consent. Just as they were about to take a defensive stance, Xu Ning overwhelmed them with a breath of alcohol.
Although the possessor of the Heart of God has a strong resistance to the power of the element of alcohol, it is still no match for such a close and intense invasion.
Navia and Leosley eventually fell into a deep sleep after three breaths.
Meanwhile, the winds of Mondstadt finally crossed Liyue and reached Fontaine during this brief conversation.
The elemental power of alcohol within countless people was activated, causing them to fall into a deep slumber. No one was aware that at the highest point of Irie Island, beside the fountain at the entrance of the Opicclay Opera House, where all the waters converge, the prophecy of Fontaine had come true once again.
"The celestial wine enters the vast ocean, the surging waves bloom like flowers, and in the waves and the drunken murmurs of the intoxicated, all things awaken from death."
Xu Ning spat the Dust Concealment Gourd from his mouth into the fountain, then stretched out his finger to draw in the air, and a huge magic array formed around the fountain.
The primordial waters of the fetal sea, infused with spiritual dew, flowed down from the top and bottom. In places unseen by the naked eye, underground tributaries where all waters converged began to surge in all directions.
With the blessing of the Hidden Cave Heaven's Fetal Sea, the water level in Fontaine rose rapidly, soon surpassing the highest water level of the second flood season, and it continues to rise.
Ningguang stood side by side with Xu Ning, who had his eyes closed, at the edge of the Qunyu Pavilion, looking down as Fengdan suddenly transformed into a giant fountain. She reached out and gently embraced Xu Ning's somewhat stiff waist.
"It's started, but it's a pity I can't be with you to take on that responsibility."
Xu Ning was naturally unable to respond to Ningguang's words, as his entire focus was on the land of Teyvat.
But even if he could hear it, he probably wouldn't respond. After all, the responsibility of destroying the world is too heavy, and it's enough for him to bear it alone.
All the people of Fontaine, including Leosley and Navia by the fountain, were completely powerless against the primordial waters of the womb sea infused with spiritual dew.
Even though they had been absolved of the sins of being born as humans, the combination of spiritual dew and the water of the primordial womb dissolved them back into the water.
Countless points of light of will rise and fall in the water.
The "master" wanted to realize the current scene, and then take the will to rise and fall in the water as his own, and use the will of thousands to nourish one person, so that he could instantly obtain power that could rival the gods.
If Xu Ning were to use the power of that holy sword now, he could naturally do the same thing, and he would gain even more. At that time, the Extreme Evil Knights would still be like little brothers in front of him, just like back then.
However, Xu Ning did not covet any of these souls and wills. After releasing the entire sea of fetuses, he picked up the wine gourd with his claws and swam straight towards the earth.
The death and incorporation of countless creatures made the already turbulent seawater even more surging.
Meanwhile, at the teleportation anchor points that had already been knocked down or even abandoned, the instruments that had been placed on the nodes were now operating at maximum power.
With the help of resin, the silvery-white mist drawn from the earth's veins is being extracted in greater quantities and at a faster pace.
Cracks are clearly visible on the glass observation window.
When the floodwaters submerged them, the instruments' ability to withstand the floodwaters also came to an end, and one by one, the precision instruments hastily crafted by the Sumeru scholars exploded underwater.
Countless emotional memories extracted from the earth's veins were perfectly dissolved into the great water.
Right now, in some unseen place.
"This is what you meant by 'the sea rises with waves'? I was wondering when you learned to recite poetry in such a pretentious way, but I never expected this..."
I didn't expect you to just state a fact?
As the distant land was gradually submerged by the blue waters, the "captain" solemnly instructed those behind him, "The time has come. When the sea rises with its waves, let us return home with the moon."
