I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"What about your men?"

"I will not interfere with their choices."

Arecino would not restrain the children raised in these fireplace homes.

But Linni did not remain silent.

"I will continue to follow my father, and as for my younger siblings, I will try to persuade them."

Regardless of whether he and Arecino have any feelings for each other, since he's standing here and has heard so much, he has no other choice.

He was certain that Lynette and Femini would be with him, so he made his stance clear right there.

"Is this so..."

Li Xiao smiled, said nothing, and transformed into a blue wind, departing.

He still needs to go and have a chat with Fukalos.

He bypassed the guards and returned to the deserted Opiclie Opera House.

Looking at the enormous cardinal decree, he spoke.

"Fukaros, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

The sound echoed in the silent hall, but no response came for a long time.

Li Xiao wasn't in a hurry; he simply looked at the decree to decide the cardinal's fate.

After a while, a blue light suddenly appeared on the cardinal decree, enveloping Li Xiao.

Feeling a strange pulling force, Li Xiao did not resist.

Soon, after a flash of blue and white light, he arrived in a huge pure white space, where there was nothing except a large blue sword hanging in mid-air.

"Greetings, new Anemo Archon of Mondstadt. Nice to meet you, I am Fucarus, the Water Archon."

Looking at the girl who looked almost exactly like Funina, only her clothes and temperament were different, he responded with a comment.

"Hello, Fukaros, just call me Li Xiao."

"Then, Li Xiao, how did you know I existed?"

A look of curiosity flickered in Fukaros's eyes.

"It was the former wind god Barbatos who told me."

"Huh? That's amazing! It can even listen in on my end?"

Fukalos exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, He is indeed very strong."

"How does it compare to you?"

Fukaros could sense that Li Xiao was stronger than Egolia had been, but she didn't know exactly how much stronger he was.

"I'm no match for him."

Li Xiao decided to continue boosting Wendy's combat strength so that he could shift more blame onto him in Teyvat later.

"But why have I never heard Lady Agolia mention that the former Wind God was this strong? She only told me that His personality was a bit...not so good?"

Actually, Fukaros was just being tactful. She didn't say anything about what Agoria had said about her being a drunkard and unreliable.

“Fukaros, you must know that both humans and gods have two sides. What is shown to outsiders is not necessarily the truth.”

"Is this so..."

Fucaros looked thoughtful. She was thinking about her relationship with Frinna—divinity versus humanity?

"Was the former Wind God the strongest among the Seven Gods?"

"Top three, probably."

"There are actually two more monsters like that?!"

Fukalos suddenly felt that the continent of Teyvat was very dangerous.

Li Xiao continued speaking in a serious tone:

"That's right, among them are Morax, the rock god who is said to be the strongest of the seven gods, and Narcida, the most mysterious current grass god."

These three gods were the three Teyvat scapegoats he had carefully chosen.

Narcida, the grass god representing the greatest wisdom; Barbatos, the wind god representing the greatest intelligence; and Morax, the rock god representing the greatest strength.

These three people working together can shield Li Xiao from almost anything unreasonable in Teyvat.

If he has anything he can't explain in the future, he can just blame it on the three of them.

As for whether they are willing or not? Li Xiao felt that as long as they were willing, that was enough.

Although Li Xiao said that, Fukalos still had some doubts.

"I can understand that Morax is the strongest, but the current Grass God, I don't remember her ever having any reputation, right?"

For the past five hundred years, although she had been hiding here, she had been able to obtain a lot of information from Funina. As far as she knew, the new Grass God had never shown herself in Sumeru, and very few people believed in her.

“Don’t underestimate her. She deliberately kept her reputation hidden because she had a more secret plan. If Barbatos hadn’t told me some things, I wouldn’t have known that she was hiding so well.”

"plan?"

"I can't say too much, otherwise she'll definitely notice."

"Huh?! Could the Grass God also be monitoring this place?"

This isn't a public restroom, so how can anyone just come and go as they please?

Moreover, if he can't even stop other gods, can he really rely on this to stop the heavenly principles above the gods from prying into his mind?

Fucarus suddenly began to doubt the plan he had been adhering to for five hundred years.

Faced with Fukalos's question, Li Xiao simply uttered a single word.

"World Tree."

Fukalos's pupils dilated, and he instantly understood what was happening.

Yes, the World Tree!

The Grass God possesses authority over the World Tree, which means he can view the secrets of the entire continent of Teyvat! He can even alter the history of the world!

According to Li Xiao, the current Grass God is an ambitious guy.

What would such a person do with such power?

She dared not think any further.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Fukaros's Kiss

Having suddenly learned so many secrets, Fukaros looked at Li Xiao with a mixture of relief and despair.

"I really shouldn't have asked you so many questions."

She would rather remain ignorant than face the suddenly terrifying Teyvat.

Now, when Fukaros looks up at the sky, she can even have a kind of illusion.

Three terrifying and merciless eyes were watching her from somewhere, which sent a chill down her spine.

Seeing that she actually believed him, Li Xiao immediately changed the subject.

"These are not things you should be concerned about right now. I'm telling you this only because you are, after all, one of the Seven Gods, and you must be mentally prepared in advance."

You should be focusing on Fontaine's prophecy now.

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Fukalos suddenly realized what was going on.

That's right! I didn't let Li Xiao into this space to discuss the secrets of the Seven Gods, but to ask him for a way to resolve the Fontaine Prophecy!

Why does the conversation sometimes veer off-topic?

She quickly asked, "Li Xiao, is the method you mentioned for saving Fontaine reliable?"

Now that she suddenly knows so many secrets, she is pessimistic about whether her sacrifice can save Fontaine.

That's why they are even more eager to seek other methods.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have given Furina and the others my assurances."

"Is there anything I can do?"

“Of course it is needed, because you also possess a fragment of authority.”

"But... I can't go out, what should I do?"

Fukalos still had some reservations; after all, she wouldn't easily give up on five hundred years of perseverance.

She wasn't sure if Li Xiao's method would actually work.

If all else fails, she will still have to carry out the original plan and sacrifice herself.

That was exactly what Li Xiao had been waiting for.

“You can’t go out…that’s fine too. As long as you give me one of your personal belongings, I can also draw out the power.”

"Huh~ That's good."

Hearing that Li Xiao had a solution, Fukaros breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a little embarrassing to need your own personal item, since you're only wearing two pieces of clothing.

One is a dress, and the other is...

"but……"

Li Xiao suddenly took a turn for the better.

Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat again.

"But doing this will come at a considerable cost for me."

"The cost? You mean?"
