Chapter 161 Silly Fufu is sometimes quite clever
The process of the secret meeting in the dream was the same as usual.
Gu Chen's consciousness leaked out during his sleep and came into contact with the underground water veins.
He followed the water vein to Fontaine and entered Funina's dream.
After spending so much time together, Funina has some feelings for him.
As long as Gu Chen entered her dream, she would be able to sense it.
Just then, sensing Gu Chen's arrival, Funina jumped directly off the wide swing and ran to Gu Chen.
Looking at Gu Chen, Fu Nina's tone was a little resentful:
"Gu Chen, you haven't been here for several days."
Gu Chen smiled embarrassedly:
"Sorry, sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."
"A bit too much going on?"
Furninna tilted her head:
"Did something happen in Liyue? Do you, a Gou Chen star, need to go there in person?"
“Alas, something did happen, and it was not a small thing.
It seems that the situation in Liyue has not yet reached Fontaine, and you haven't heard the news yet.
Let me tell you straight up, that old man from Rock King, Zhongli, has retired."
"retire?"
After carefully considering the meaning of this word, Funina suddenly opened her eyes wide:
"Iwagami is quitting!?"
Gu Chen smiled bitterly helplessly:
"Yes, Lao Deng really quit."
Furninna's expression was quite surprised:
"Then... who will be the new Rock God?"
Suddenly, Fu Nina looked at Gu Chen in front of her with an inexplicable expression:
"Wait, Gu Chen, the new Rock God...could it be you?"
Gu Chen was a little stunned. He pointed at himself and couldn't understand:
"Why do you think I will be the new Rock God?"
“Isn’t this a natural thing?
Just a while ago, when you had just traveled to Liyue, you were appointed as the Gou Chen Star by the Geo Emperor.
The status of this Gou Chen star is higher than the seven stars of Liyue, second only to the Geo Emperor himself.
What does this equate to? This equates to being the crown prince!
The Rock King Emperor is quitting, so of course he needs you, the crown prince, to take over!
Perhaps the reason why the Rock King asked you to take charge of the Gou Chen Star is because he wanted to hand over Liyue to you!"
After hearing Fu Fu's train of thought, Gu Chen was completely shocked.
He… He makes so much sense! It's so logical!
At first glance, it seems to be true.
And as for the results, Zhongli did hand over Liyue to Gu Chen's protection after his retirement.
The only difference is that Gu Chen no longer has the title of Rock God and usually doesn’t take charge of things.
Even if he is really willing to go a step further, Zhongli would probably happily let him become the second generation Geo King!
Hiss... Why do I feel like I've been tricked by Zhongli?
Feeling the unpleasantness of being cheated, Gu Chen was speechless for a moment.
After struggling for a while, Gu Chen shook his head:
“That’s not the case.
Fu Fu, I am still the Gou Chen star now, and I am not the second generation Rock King.
The truth is, you'd never imagine that Zhongli, the old man, actually used fake death as his way of retirement! Luckily, I made up for him at the critical moment..."
In this way, Gu Chen gave Funina a general account of Zhongli's retirement.
After hearing this, Funina's expression became a little tense:
“That’s what happened…
Just retire if you want to, and abdicate if you want to.
Why did you have to resort to such a frightening method as fake death? Will the people of Liyue accept it?"
Gu Chen now has a feeling of understanding Wansui:
"That's the truth!
The people of Liyue just couldn't accept this sense of disparity, so I made amends for Zhongli and gave him an opportunity and reason to be re-hired later.
it's good now.
On the surface, the Rock King has gone from being completely dead to being half-dead now, which is at least a comfort to the people of Liyue."
At this point, he shook his head:
“That’s not all.
That old man, Zhongli, is planning to set a test for Liyue Harbor. I bet it will be a major disaster."
Furninna frowned when she heard this:
"You still want to set up tests and disasters?
why? "
"Of course, Lao Deng wanted to see if the people of Liyue could bravely stand up independently without his protection.
After all, for a nation that walks with God to transform into a godless nation, this process requires tremendous courage and ability.”
"Test...disaster..."
As she muttered these two words, Funina's expression became somewhat gloomy.
Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly asked with concern:
"What's the matter, Furninna? What's on your mind?"
Looking up at Gu Chen's eyes, Funina felt uncomfortable:
"I'm wondering if the prophecy of Fontaine's demise is also a test given to Fontaine by a higher-level god?
If this test is passed, Fontaine will naturally be safe.
If I hadn’t gotten through it…”
Funina didn’t say anything else afterwards, but the meaning was self-evident.
If she couldn't get through it, of course nothing would be left, and she, the water goddess, would be left alone sitting on the throne crying.
Seeing Fu Fu like this, Gu Chen quickly hugged her, using his arms to give her comfort and strength.
At the same time, Gu Chen comforted her gently and firmly:
"Fufu, don't worry.
Didn't I promise you?
According to predetermined fate, the predicted crisis will be resolved.
Now that I am here, the predicted crisis will be resolved more perfectly than the original fate.
You will not suffer any injustice, you will be respected and appreciated by everyone, this is my promise!"
Gu Chen's words seemed to have unimaginable power, and this power gradually seeped into Funina's heart.
Infected by this power, Funina's confused and gloomy mentality quickly readjusted.
She nodded, her expression very serious:
“Well, I believe you.
And with your support, I will never back down.
It has been performed for hundreds of years, it is impossible for it to go wrong in the last few years, I will be fine!"
Looking at the strong Funina, Gu Chen didn't say anything else, but just hugged her and patted her back.
After comforting her, Gu Chen mentioned the question that Funina had just asked:
“In fact, Fontaine’s prophecy of world destruction is not a test given to Fontaine by a higher-level god.
That is a world-destroying disaster. Heaven wants to destroy the people of Fontaine!"
Funina looked dissatisfied:
"Why? Did the Fontaine people offend the will of heaven?!"
Suddenly, she remembered something and was slightly startled:
"and many more!
I remember there was a saying that people from Fontaine were born with original sin.
I have investigated this statement for a long time, but I have never found out what the original sin is.
Could it be that the reason why Heaven wants to destroy all the people of Fontaine is because of this original sin?"
Seeing Funina's performance, Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, once Silly Fu Fu gets serious, she is also very smart and perceptive.
Look, she got to the root of the matter through some clues.
Unfortunately, Gu Chen really couldn’t tell Funina the reason and the inside story for the time being.
Even if I tell her, she can't solve it. Why make her anxious and waste her time?
