Chapter 783 The Remains of the Third Descendant
Chapter 783 The Remains of the Third Descendant
Rhinedoth, this woman, openly orchestrated the disaster that threatened the entirety of Teyvat, making her name known to many who are familiar with the history of Teyvat.
Of course, Kong didn't know that the "upside-down crystal" he saw with Ed in the illusion was the prophet Viserfnir, otherwise he would have had a deeper understanding of this Surtroch.
"Oh, so you know the name Rheindorf. Let me put it this way, my master is just like them, someone who pursues a certain kind of extreme."
The fact that Surtruchi's name is listed alongside that of such a ruthless and vicious person tells you what kind of person he is.
What Villette needs to know now is what role Xu Ning played in Fontaine's entire prophecy.
So he asked again, "Why did your master keep the Devouring Whale here? And what is the story behind your feud with it?"
Silky gave a perfectly reasonable answer.
"It's because we live nearby, and the little one likes to drink it."
"Originally, Tun Tun was kept outside. Who knew that one day, by sheer coincidence, my silly apprentice somehow crawled out of a crack, and unfortunately, he was covered in Lord Sai Gong's scent. After Tun Tun smelled it, it branded my silly apprentice and started trying to run away with him from time to time."
"I discussed it with my master, and we decided that we could only keep it in this womb for the time being, providing it with good food and drink, and we didn't have to worry about it running away..."
Navelette was at a loss for words.
So you two, master and disciple, just treated this primordial sea of fetuses as a fishpond to feed the swallowing whale?
"Do you know that this giant whale almost destroyed a country?"
Skirk seemed completely unconcerned about the destruction of the country. "Tuntun is still young and has no understanding of destruction itself. It just follows its instincts. If my stupid apprentice hadn't happened to reappear here, carrying an even stronger aura of Lord Saigong, Tuntun wouldn't have escaped from the womb and disturbed your country."
"Although I expected it, judging by the timeline, Tun Tun shouldn't have met Lord Sai Gong so soon. It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on him. I'll punish myself by swinging my sword 30,000 times when I get back..."
Listening to Silky's self-reproach, Xu Ning patted the Star-Devouring Whale's horn and laughed, "Since it has already come looking for me, let it stay with me. I'm tired of having to expend wind elemental power to fly every time anyway."
Xu Ning looked at the Star-Devouring Whale wagging its tail and laughing gleefully behind him, then opened the portal to the Dust-Hidden Cave and put it inside.
In the present day, the entire landmass where Xu Ning sleeps in the Zhu Lou within the Dust-Hidden Cave has become an isolated island.
Surrounded by newly injected primordial waters, many creatures transformed from pure water spirits roam freely in the ocean.
After entering, the Star-Devouring Whale effortlessly leaned back and slammed into the sea.
A huge wave surged up, startling many of the water sprites that were playing around. Many of the more irritable animals began to fire water projectiles at it.
Outside the Dust-Hidden Cave, Skykirk looked at Vilette and said, "I thought the power on you was mixed up just now, but I can basically tell now. You carry the ancient dragon power that is the oldest on this planet. That's really rare. Weren't they all supposed to be dead?"
"Hmm? It also carries some divine curses. Such things are quite rare now, but with your ancient dragon power, it seems you have no use for it at all. Instead, you've been tainted with bad luck for no reason."
"Bad luck?" Navelette had no idea where to begin with this topic.
"Yes, let me think," Skirk explained. "You call it the 'Heart of God,' don't you?"
Navelette suddenly fell silent.
As the verdict was handed down, the throne of the Water God of Fontaine was destroyed, and the Water God's Heart was also handed over to Navelette along with the power of the Ancient Dragon.
But where does this strange girl from who-knows-where come from, claiming that the Heart of God itself carries a curse?
"How can I explain this to you? To be alive in this world is a blessing in itself, but when he dies, those blessings will turn into an inescapable curse, after all, those are the 'remains of the Third Adventist'..."
Xu Ning had been smiling the whole time, but when Silky mentioned "the Third Descendant," his expression suddenly changed. He coughed lightly, lowered his head, and chuckled, "Although I know it's wrong to interrupt your pleasant conversation, shouldn't we go up there and take a look after everything is settled? It's probably in complete chaos up there. Even if many people don't dissolve, they're probably still afraid of water, right?"
Villette glanced at Xu Ning, whose face was naturally in turmoil. Wasn't this all our doing? Intuitively, she felt that Xu Ning didn't want to continue the discussion about the "Descendant" issue.
He then looked at the empty space standing beside him, only to find it filled with questions, seemingly not quite understanding the identity of the Descendant.
Although Skirk had spent many years alone, she could clearly sense the atmosphere around her gradually changing. Not daring to say anything more, she bowed to Xu Ning.
"I will tell my master about seeing you today. If you need me, just have that stupid disciple pass on the message to me."
Xu Ning nodded to indicate that he understood, and Silky once again violently shattered the space and jumped away.
Navelette glanced in the direction Skork had left, then at the empty womb, knowing that there was no way to get justice for what had happened today. As for Xu Ning, he would rather die than vomit up what he had swallowed.
"Let's go up first. We should witness the completion of the final stage of the prophecy with our own eyes."
With a single strike of her staff, Violet created a spatial rift, and everyone stepped out, arriving above the opera house.
The entire territory of Fontaine is now submerged by seawater.
Even the opera house itself was mostly submerged, with seawater covering the area from the second floor down.
The prophecy of Fontaine being submerged by a great flood vividly appeared before everyone's eyes, but the prophecy that everyone would dissolve in the water did not come true.
Countless ships appeared on the sea, doing their utmost to rescue those floating on the water.
The ships were of various types, including countless ironclad power ships of the Fontaine official navy, Fontaine fishing boats collected by the Rose Organization, ships of the Winter Fools, and armed fleets of Liyue, all of which participated in the rescue.
Of course, the most eye-catching of them all is the huge airship, the Viengorai, which took off directly from the Melo Petersburg.
