Chapter 760: A Showy Operation
Kong kept these questions to himself, and because there were outsiders present, he only expressed his guesses about the Fate System.
Kong also mentioned the bombshell news that someone revealed during the meteor shower incident—the starry sky of Teyvat is fake.
The starry sky is fake, and the constellation of fate hanging above it is naturally a deliberate existence.
Sky Island uses the constellation of fate to anchor the destiny system of all beings in Teyvat.
Sora: "Mona's astrology relies on divination of the other party's fate to predict related information and the future. She said that my fate is the traveler's fate. Now it seems that I may have been captured and anchored by this fate system."
Sue: "Mona also said that my star appeared, that single star. And she still couldn't divine our information. Even if she tried to interpret the constellation with the water divination plate, the results were all vague."
Their existence itself is a huge variable for Teyvat, and the future caused by them is unpredictable.
After arriving in the new world, they will naturally establish a connection with this world. Once they are anchored and stamped, the world will not reject their existence, but will give them some feedback.
Being able to anchor does not mean being able to control.
Otherwise, the so-called Upholder of Heaven would not have personally taken action to capture Kong and Ying and prevent them from leaving.
"Tianxiang wants to include us in her plan and follow her arrangements, but that depends on her ability."
Su smiled defiantly. The last person who wanted to control her was now serving her like a dog.
Paimon waved his little fist, "Smash the predetermined fate! Our Traveler Squad is the strongest!"
Mr. Wus, who had been quietly listening to the analysis and conversation of the Traveler Team, had tears in his eyes. The blessing he had accumulated after thousands of years of hard work allowed him to meet the Traveler Team!
Scylla also sighed with emotion, "Every time I think you are amazing enough, I always find something more amazing that surprises me."
Knowing some of the secrets revealed by the Traveler Team, he'd better keep his mouth shut for a long time, not show up or contact anyone.
Scylla continued to tell about Remus' new journey.
After confirming that Remus would continue to move forward, the Golden Bee Sibyl caused the silver-white ancient tree in the ruins to fall down, transforming it into the golden ship Fatuna, which carried Remus to Melopes, spreading order and civilization.
Many years later, even after he established the powerful empire of Lemuria, Remus still had not forgotten the prophecy that Sibyl told him.
It is predicted that an endless tide will engulf Lemuria. Egolia, who was sentenced as a criminal by Sky Island and imprisoned in the deep sea, may know something.
Remus fought with the jailer Scylla for dozens of days and nights. During the battle, they became friends and were allowed to see Egolia.
"I don't know what they said, but I know that Remus left sadly, taking with him the golden cup filled with the primordial fetal water given by Egolia."
Mr. Wus sighed, "In the drama and legend of Fontaine, Eugolia's golden cup has the power to fulfill all wishes."
After Fontaine was established, Irie spent his entire life searching for the golden cup until his illusory dreams and hopes were completely shattered.
Sue: "A golden cup that can make all wishes come true? Impossible, impossible. If that's the case, Egolia might as well use it herself."
Something that can fulfill your wishes without limits definitely comes at a high price.
Her ability to pray seemed to allow her to easily obtain everything she wanted as long as she paid a certain amount of energy. But the fundamental purpose was actually to facilitate her to be bound and integrated with the laws, to do a long, dark job that had no end in sight.
The energy she paid was just a handling fee; the endless illegal work was the real price.
Kong thought Su was curious about the magical golden cup, so he quickly analyzed the hidden dangers of the item from multiple angles and found that they outweighed its value, and advised her not to try it.
Sora: "I have heard similar legends a long time ago, but the so-called Holy Grail that can fulfill all wishes is actually just a collection of a large amount of energy. It can only fulfill wishes in a distorted way."
Paimon: "Although I don't quite understand, I still feel it's terrible! Su, can we not have this? If Su wants a beautiful golden cup, we can make it ourselves?"
Su, who was not very interested in the so-called golden cup that could fulfill wishes, agreed readily, "Okay, let's make a few more golden cups, silver cups, and gemstone cups and use them alternately."
After dealing with Boethius, the wealth of the entire Lemurian old dynasty will belong to their traveler team! With such a good way of making money, what's wrong with being extravagant?
The Traveler Team continued to listen happily.
Scylla said that many years had passed since Remus left. "I heard that he went to many places, including the kingdom of dragons. When he returned, he told me that he decided to create a world without disputes and eternal happiness."
“After hearing such arrogant words, I finally couldn’t help but follow him out of the deep sea to witness everything he was going to create.”
What Remus did was to refine the original fetal sea water in the golden cup given by Egolia into spiritual dew that was insoluble in water.
This spiritual dew, which is full of life force, is used as a carrier to contain the wisdom and memory of the subjects.
Finally, the spiritual dew was placed in the golems made of magic stone and brass, allowing the Lemurians to abandon their physical bodies and gain a long life.
Paimon understood Remus' logic, "The prophecy says that Lemuria will be swallowed by an endless tide, so it would be great if the Lemurians could not be drowned."
After the Lemurians turned into golems, they would not drown and could live for thousands of years! No wonder the Lemurians were so proud and thought that turning into golems was an evolution and a gift.
After Remus' operations, humans were almost turned into non-humans, but Sibyl said that the fate in the prophecy remained unchanged.
In order to lead his people to escape the doomed fate, Remus came up with a new method.
If the destiny set by heaven requires the destruction of his subjects, then he will pluck his subjects out of the web of fate and place them in a new destiny!
Remus wove the memories and personalities of all his subjects into a melody in the form of notes, integrating them into the great movement of Phobos that Sibyl sacrificed herself for.
All the notes in the grand movement were sung together, and Remus was responsible for conducting and coordinating, turning the noisy notes into harmonious melodies and composing the song of fate.
Paimon's head began to hurt again. "I can understand each word, but it feels so weird when put together."
Su: "To make an analogy, Remus secretly built a local area network, and Sibyl became a server to carry the data flow of souls."
"Remus is the top administrator who ensures the normal operation of this LAN system. The four promoted tuners are probably his sub-in-charges."
Paimon pinched his chin and thought, "It seems to be the same as the collective consciousness, but it seems a little different?"
Su: "Collective consciousness is to obey all decisions made by a being. In Remus's private LAN or concert, everyone is influencing each other. When faced with a decision, they choose the side with the most people and the loudest voices. It can be considered a democratic voting system."
