I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 578

She is just a mortal.

Human emotions cannot be controlled or suppressed indefinitely.

It always needs to find a way to vent.

The most common way is to shed tears, which is why people cry when they are too sad, and it is also human nature.

Funina was no exception.

Sometimes when meeting with believers, she would unconsciously shed tears because of the unspeakable loneliness and pain in her heart. Even so, she would gently wipe the corners of her eyes and smile as she replied that it was because her body was too full of water element.

She would only wait until late at night, sitting alone on her bed, hugging her knees, and crying softly.

"It's so long...so lonely...how much longer..."

"Several hundred years have passed, and this play might continue for hundreds of years to come..."

"I never imagined this process would be so painful..."

"Have I reached my limit...? No, I think I reached my limit a long, long time ago. Today, I can't even feel myself crying."

"I really want to talk to someone, even just one person... But then, all that effort would be wasted."

"I've conducted so much research over the centuries, but there's still no hope of breaking through the language barrier..."

"Now the only way to save Fontaine is to continue to believe... and to keep playing the role of the Water God. Please, you must succeed, [my reflection in the mirror]."

Xia Zhi stood in front of Fu Ningna and slowly reached out his hand.

Her tears slid down her cheeks, gently passing through his palm and wetting the sheets.

Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback and slowly withdrew his hand.

He stood silently by her side, watching her cry until she finally collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Hiding under the covers and crying is the only way she can vent her emotions right now.

When she woke up, before she could even think about the collapse of the previous night, Funina began a new day of acting, just like... Sisyphus, who was forever pushing the boulder uphill.

One day, Xia Zhi suddenly saw a familiar figure next to Funina—Charlotte, a newspaper reporter.

It seems that the time in destiny is approaching the time in reality.

At the same time, the rise in the water level of Fontainebleau has reached a very dangerous level.

Ancient prophecies began to spread throughout Fontainebleau, causing growing panic among the people.

When the time in destiny perfectly matches the time in reality, Funinna's corridor of destiny will come to an end.

Xia Zhi stopped at the end.

He already understands.

Just like the silhouette of the Great Tree King's fate that he saw when he used [Entangled Bond] last time.

The events that occur in this corridor of destiny are the original fate of Funina.

In this destiny, she never met herself.

Xia Zhi withdrew from the corridor of fate of Fu Ningna.

The stars of Frynn's constellation, Sonia, have dimmed.

A shooting star fell from the constellation and returned to his hand.

Xia Zhi looked at it; the original pinkish-blue sphere had now turned into a pure blue sphere.

【The Fate of Encounter】

Quality: Diamond.

Type: Disposable prop.

Characteristics: Destiny, Connection, Interference.

Effect: A follow-up item obtained after using Entangled Bonds. After use, you can enter the Destiny Corridor of your destined partner and choose any time and place to interfere with their fate.

Hidden effect: The initial affinity of the partner is "like", and the affinity increases at a rate of +100%; both partners share 10% of all attributes.

Just like last time, it has changed from an "entangled fate" to an "encounter fate", and the effect has also changed significantly.

Originally, it was only meant to "open a special portal upon use, guaranteeing an encounter with your destined partner."

At that time, he happened to possess the special abilities [Void Break] and [Time Return], which enabled him to [Time Travel] and return to the past to save the Great Tree King.

However, its effect has now changed from random to self-selected, and it no longer requires additional features to combine, making it significantly easier to use.

The first hidden effect is a continuation of the original hidden effect. The initial favorability has changed from "friendly" to "like", and the favorability increase rate has also changed from "+50%" to "+100%".

Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall the strange noises he heard Fu Ningna making from her bathroom when he first entered her dream.

Now he thinks he understands a little better why she loved him so much...

A love buried for five hundred years, and now I know how it has fermented...

I hope she didn't turn into a yandere...

No! I haven't gone back in time to meet Furina yet, so I still have a chance to prevent this from happening!

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and silently made a decision in his heart.

The hidden effect also includes "sharing 10% of all attributes".

This means that after forming a bond, he will receive a 10% boost to all attributes from Funina, and Funina will also receive a 10% boost to all attributes from him.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of the "Thread of Love" he had given to Shen He.

It also has a similar hidden effect: all attributes of both parties to the contract increase by 5%.

Both of these effects have their own advantages.

After reading it, Xia Zhi put away the book titled "The Fate of Our Encounter".

This thing is not usable right now.

I'm going to sleep now.

I'll wait until I'm fully prepared before making any decisions.

Dream world.

Xia Zhi arrived in front of an exceptionally large, colorful dream bubble.

This is a dream belonging to the Dragon King Ruoduo.

Xia Zhi waited quietly for a while.

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen came over: "Cousin! Let's go!"

"Ah."

The three of them entered the dream bubble together.

The scenery here is strange; different areas have different seasonal weather, clearly a chaotic scene pieced together from different memories.

The Dragon King Ruoduo was standing on a mountain.

When they met, the Dragon King began to ask questions.

"How to do?"

"First, you need to sort out these messy memories and find out the memories that belong to you."

"and then?"

"Let your cousin teach you how to create a meditation space. You can then put your own memories into it. This is a method we came up with a few days ago. Even if you don't sleep during the day, your dreams can still exist."

"So, the outside is the memory of the earth, and the inside is my memory?"

"Well, it sounds simple, but it's quite troublesome to do. However, my cousin and I will use our dream powers to help you."

King Ruoduo was taken aback: "Mr. Xia also has the power of dreams?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "A little bit."

King Ruoduo looked at him and paused for a moment: "...Then I'll have to trouble the three of you."

--

With the three gods working together to help, the effect was quite significant.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that King Ruoduo had just consumed a large amount of [Silver Thread Dew].

"Dragon King, when you have nothing to do, remember to meditate more often to keep your meditation space stable."

"it is good."

"Your dream world outside has been stabilized. Before Lannaro moves in, remember to get a good night's sleep."

"it is good."

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen gave them some more points to note.

King Ruoduo nodded repeatedly.

Xia Ci waved her hand and said, "Alright, that's basically it. If any problems arise, just come back to us."
