The word "death penalty" coming from Navelette's mouth shocked not only the audience in the stands, but also everyone watching the celestial screen.

To sentence a god to death, and in Fontainebleau, a place where the death penalty is almost nonexistent.

Even the mastermind behind the missing girl case, Vasher, was not sentenced to death; he died because his consciousness was torn apart by the consciousness of the girls he dissolved.

However, some people soon noticed something unusual about it.

Qian Renxue was among the first to react.

"No! This trial has already proven that Funina is not the water goddess, but why was the final result the water goddess was sentenced to death?"

Who exactly is the "water goddess" mentioned in this verdict? Is it Furina, or the true water goddess who has never appeared?

Qian Renxue continued to stare at the sky, seeking the answer to what would happen next.

On the dome, the audience reacted in various ways after their initial surprise: some remained astonished, some remained puzzled, and others simply watched with amusement.

"Die! Die! Die! Death penalty!"

"Is the death penalty really real? I always thought it was just a legend."

"The only death sentence in history fell on the head of someone we have always thought was a god. How dramatic is that?"

Even Paimon was somewhat panicked; this was not the outcome they wanted.

"Furina was actually sentenced to death by the Cardinal Decree. We only wanted to scare her and get her to tell the truth, how did it suddenly turn into a death sentence?"

Navigette also expressed doubt about the cardinal's verdict.

"This result is indeed somewhat strange. According to Fontaine's current definition of justice and standards of judgment, does Funina's crime really deserve the death penalty?"

The traveler then brought up that strange place, where the decree and the cardinal's verdict was that the water god should be sentenced to death, not Frinna.

It has been proven that Funina is not the water goddess, which is a clear contradiction.

"Indeed, Funina is not only unworthy of such punishment, but the very purpose of this trial is to prove that she is not the water goddess."

The decree issued by the cardinal in his judgment deliberately emphasized the title "water god." What does this mean?

While everyone was puzzled, the protagonist, Funina, did nothing and said nothing. She simply sat alone in her seat, silently shedding tears.

She had already foreseen the scene she least wanted to see, which was what the prophecy said: all the people of Fontainebleau would dissolve in the water, and she would be the only one sitting there weeping.

The brokenness that Funinna showed at this moment was truly heartbreaking.

"Miss Funina is so pitiful. She is not a water goddess, but she bears the responsibilities of a water goddess."

She must have a great and noble reason for impersonating a deity.

"Nil, you're right. I also apologize for my harsh words to Funina before. She's a respectable person."

Ouyang Kong also sighed. Although he had already experienced it once in the game, seeing this scene again on the sky now still moved him.

The contrast in Fu Ningna's character was portrayed so perfectly that when the truth was revealed, those who had previously called her a silly Fu Ningna wanted to slap themselves.

Back on the screen, no one could come up with a solution when Fimini arrived.

As always, Fimini was shy, but she still managed to speak up: "Um... excuse me... how's your trial going?"

When Linni saw Fimini approaching, he happily stood up.

"Fimini, you've finally arrived. It seems you've completed your mission."

"Yes, the task assigned to me by 'Father' must be the top priority."

Then, with the help of others, Fimini carried a stone slab onto the stage.

This is the first missing piece of the prophetic tablets that the travelers, Navia and Navelette, discovered while exploring ancient ruins.

After learning of the situation, the servants arranged for Fimini to search underwater. Through Fimini's efforts, the stone slab was finally found and retrieved intact.

"Wait, is your trial already over? Then I'm too late and will disappoint 'Father'."

"It's not too late; there are still many secrets to be uncovered."

Navelette also spoke to Fimini, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Fimini. Let me see what's on the stone tablet first."

Seeing the contents of the stone tablet, Navelette was also somewhat surprised, so she called the traveler over to examine it together.

"What exactly is drawn on this?"

Paimon said he didn't quite understand, while the traveler understood.

"It seems that the water god once used his divine power to turn the pure water spirit into a human."

"I think I now understand what the Water God's sin truly is; it concerns the lost history of Fontaine."


Paimon hurriedly pressed for an answer, a question that those watching the celestial canopy also wanted to know.

After watching for so long, the moment of truth was finally approaching, and naturally everyone's attention was focused on the sky.

Navelette did not answer the question directly, but instead said to the travelers, "Actually, the content of these four stone tablets is closely related to what you have experienced since you came to Fontaine."

I wonder how far you've come to understand this now?

Paimon then helped the travelers decipher the contents of the stone tablets and the events they experienced in Fontainebleau.

"This first stone tablet painting, just as you just said, seems to depict the water god using his divine power to turn pure water spirits into humans."

In other words, the people of Fontainebleau are actually transformed from pure water spirits, and this process may be "reversible."

"In the second stone tablet, Sky Island floats in the sky, and the water god and his people kneel before Sky Island, but Sky Island still punishes them."

This must be when the water god and the people of Fontainebleau were given "original sin." So, is the original sin of the people of Fontainebleau and the sin of the water god the same kind of sin?

"In the third stone slab painting, the water goddess has sunk into the sea, and she is surrounded by many people."

This reminds me of when we witnessed Navia falling into the sea.

"The fourth stone tablet is the prophecy passed down orally in Fontainebleau, about people dissolving into the sea and the water god weeping on his throne, and so on."

At first, we weren't sure if such a disaster would actually happen, but after "that incident," we knew it was only a matter of time.
